Rudolph Schindler worked with Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright and was the mentor of Richard Neutra. Like
Bruce Goff he is an individual within the modernists and the founder of the wayward Californian style. In "The House" he seized the opportunity to experiment with timber frame and log. Schindler's style is to design the whole house including furniture. His own house in West Hollywood may be seen as a model house for his applications. Forty of his houses
in and around Los Angeles were filmed in this documentary both inside and outside the context of their current environment.
