Bailey House / Case Study House

Richard Neutra architect – Santa Monica Beach-Los Angeles USA, 1948

When Art and Architecture chose Neutra for their Case Study Project of private residential designs, Neutra built a 2,000-square-foot home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on a wooded bluff above Santa Monica Beach. The home was sold to Dr Stuart Bailey, the first of the Case Study Project homes to be sold to an outside client.
It was fortuitous that many years later another man of imagination would buy the Neutra property who would have the finances and vision to restore the house. That was Sam Simon, co-creator of The Simpsons and other mega-hit television productions Taxi and Cheers.
