  • The Linnell Residence by Charles Wong, 1965. Ladera Heights is home to some unique modernists homes in Los Angeles and this Charles Wong home is no exception. Charles Wong immigrated from China in the 1930's and graduated from USC's School of Architecture in 1951 and was one of a handful of Asian American Modernist Architects that contributed to the Modernists landscape of the 60's. The owners Adrian and Jason (One who works with the Los Angeles Conservancy) lovingly restored the home for 7 months once moved in after their long 5 month escrow. The story on how they discovered the full set of plans for the home is something to be heard alongside what their vision was for the home when they purchased it. The home couldn't have fallen into better hands as Adrian and Jason are the best examples of who should end up in these homes, someone who is going to Preserve, Restore and maintain the rich history that we have here in Los Angeles and it's Architecture.

    I went to the garden tour this Sunday and was absolutely wowed by this house and then of course I had to look up Charles Wong when I came home and that’s what led me to this TH-cam video. The house is spectacular! Great job, neighbors! Thank you so much for your love and care of this gorgeous house and garden.

      Mid Century Modern is a term that is used very loosely … ‘65 is not mid century by any means, but the concepts of SoCal living had been already popular since, say, the late ‘20s when Schindler started experimenting with his own unique vision of relaxed organic designs

    It’s a sign of a good job when it looks mostly original and “unrestored” when you actually put a lot of work into it. I too wonder why more people don’t put the effort into restoring existing diamonds in the rough. It’s so much more interesting, and existing homes are usually on bigger lots in nicer established neighborhoods anyway. So much more appealing. Very nice.

    I always think that a kitchen island is a waste of space, but I love the counter-depth fridge/freezer. It doesn't jut out of the cabinetry as is the case with 'big box' kitchens. I also like that the kitchen can be [partially] closed off from what appears to be the living room. What I don't like is the proximity of the overhead power lines.

    Do you think that the drapes were original to the house ? I don't think so. Fantastic home and well maintained...hard thing to do and very costly but well worth it.
