Notes
  • Structure is associated with the DeStijl Movement & Brutalist design.
  • Significance: The Lovell Beach House is generally considered one of the greatest works of pioneering modern architect, R.M. Schindler. It demonstrates an early use of concrete which predates and predicts the post-war Brutalist style, in which concrete is left unsurfaced, and structure is distinct from enclosure. / The Lovell Beach House, R.M. Schindler's most important building, dating from 1926, is a precursor of post-war Brutalist design. It is built of concrete. The house is lifted above its beach site and cradled in five concrete frames in the shape of figure 8's. These were poured in place. The enclosed areas were shop-fabricated and hoisted into position. The play of forms in the advancing and receding planes are related to the De Stijl movement begun in Holland in 1917.
