Rudolph Schindler, Architect | The Druckman Residence, 1941. A distinguished example of modernist architecture, layered into the secluded Outpost Estate of the Hollywood Hills. Upon entry, visitors are greeted by an expansive, open-plan living and dining area, seamlessly connected to the kitchen, with a split-level transition to a powder room and guest bedroom. Alternatively, descending a few steps, one enters a private suite of three bedrooms, along with an additional den or office space, complete with built-in desk and access to the outdoors. Two newly designed bathrooms in pink and in blue harmonize with the color-scheme of the house and sage green window frames. The heart of the home is its main living space, where a soaring, beamed ceiling emphasizes the spatial drama, and large windows along the southern facade flood the area with natural light, framing picturesque views of the surrounding hillside. Trapezoidal clerestory windows at either end follow the atypical post-and-beam structure of the roofline, offering carefully composed vistas. Original built-in plywood elements functionally and visually separate the entrance and dining area, preserving an open yet delineated spatial flow for both public and private use. A decorative fireplace anchors the opposite side of the living space, extending to the flat yard and creating a cohesive indoor-outdoor connection. A balcony adjoins the dining area, while the kitchen features a built-in nook, perfectly situated to take in the surrounding views through a large glass window. The kitchen with marble countertops in light green and pink tones that complement cabinetry in a similar light pink hue is outfitted with modern, high-end appliances and flows effortlessly into a service balcony that provides further access to the garden. The residence is built into the hillside, the back of the house anchoring into the terrain, creating a natural privacy that allows all rooms to open to the expansive garden and an oval-shaped pool at the lower level, surrounded by lush trees. According to family tales it was designed by Richard Neutra. The home has been comprehensively renovated to preserve Schindler's original design while incorporating modern amenities. Updated spaces include newly designed bathrooms, kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, and a new walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. Privacy and security have been enhanced with a newly installed gate and alarm system, while the landscaping has been rejuvenated with drought-tolerant California native plants. The renovation also includes new roof, upgraded plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, tankless water heater, and resurfaced pool with storage.
