Dwell Open House: 300 Readers Tour Some of L.A.’s Most Exciting Residential Projects

To kick off our celebration of Dwell’s 25th anniversary, tour-goers got the chance to check out three private homes on the city’s east side.

To kick off our celebration of Dwell’s 25th anniversary, we brought back one of our most popular and memorable events: in-person home tours. On October 19th, Dwell Open House gave 300 readers the chance to tour three homes we've featured—all based in Los Angeles, a city that we believe has one of the most dynamic design scenes in the country. The three-hour event highlighted architecturally amazing houses on the east side that represent new thinking about residential design rooted in the city’s famed spirit of experimentation—plus a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House.

The tour kicked off at Barnsdall Art Park, the site of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, L.A.’s only UNESCO World Heritage site and a harbinger of California modernism. Ticket holders got a chance to step inside the iconic century-old structure featuring contemporary art and design by Ravi GuneWardena, Laun, and Bzippy.

Ticket holders checked in at Barnsdall Art Park before heading in to check out Frank LLoyd Wright's Hollyhock House.
