Home Exchange-The Sowden House – Los Angeles, CA

Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, created in 1926 this 6,000 sq. ft. Mayan-inspired Hollywood home, featuring earth blocks stacked in geometric patterns reminiscent of an ancient temple. These blocks weave their way from the exterior into the interior and create a casual chic living room area that looks directly onto the 365 degree inside courtyard with shimmering pool and spa. Statues and icons are placed randomly throughout the property, giving the home a feeling of a jungle ruin, while the rich color palette provides a vibrant backdrop for the ancient artifacts. The home showcases exquisite artwork and period antiques that brought vitality and life back into the structure during the renovation. This spectacular one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece is the epitome of classic renaissance indoor/outdoor living at its best!
