The MAK Center for Art and Architecture is housed in the Schindler House, a pioneering example of modern residential design built in 1922 by architect Rudolph Schindler. Located on North Kings Road in West Hollywood, the house is a landmark of early modernist architecture, featuring open-plan living spaces, sliding doors, and a unique use of concrete and redwood. Today, it serves as a gallery and event space, presenting contemporary art and architecture exhibitions, as well as hosting lectures and performances. Visitors can explore the house's original rooms, including the two studio apartments and shared patio, which were designed to foster a communal lifestyle. The center also runs an artist-in-residence program. The house's innovative design, with its flat roof, large windows, and indoor-outdoor flow, feels remarkably modern even a century later. Guided tours provide insight into Schindler's philosophy and the house's history.
