Gregory Ain, Architect
Modernique Homes, 1948
3501 Moore Street, Los Angeles, CA 90066
One of fifty-two homes in an enclave, this project was conceived as a combination of good design and low-cost postwar housing – Modernism for the masses. By rotating the houses in different directions and alternating rectangular and square forms, architect Gregory Ain was able to create eight unique configurations, resulting in a variegated presence on the streets. Unifying the composition, Harvard-trained landscape architect Garrett Eckbo created a communal park-like setting for the homes, with continuous lawns and greenspace running the length of the streets, unbroken by fences or private boundaries. Today, the neighborhood remains a tight-knit community of like-minded architecture lovers who value the positive lifestyle benefits stimulated by good design. At over 2,200 square feet, excluding the home office in the enclosed garage, this individual home is probably the largest in the neighborhood, and one of few with a swimming pool. Concrete floors and sliding glass doors give the house an indoor/outdoor feel, and numerous skylights illuminate the interior, while baths and kitchens have been tastefully updated, including stainless steel appliances. A rare opportunity to participate in the ongoing social experiment inspired by Ain and Eckbo’s lofty vision.
