The Logar House: A Masterpiece of Richard Neutra’s Vision

Conceptualized by the legendary Richard Neutra and famously known as “The Logar House,” this masterpiece of modern design was completed between 1950 and 1951 for James F. and Olive Logar. Historically significant and archived at the Getty Research Institute, it stands as possibly the final Neutra residence in the Northern San Fernando Valley. The property is featured in the iconic MOMA publication "The Architecture of Richard Neutra" and is a candidate for Los Angeles Historic Places designation. Spanning 2,032 square feet on an expansive 30,800 square foot lot, the L-shaped residence—built from white cement plaster and redwood—was described by its original owners as “a beautiful little ship at anchor.” Its signature open-plan central wing, personal terraces for every bedroom, and layered façade planes create a “visually blended” continuity that flows toward a sprawling lawn. Immortalized in black and white by photographer Julius Shulman, this home remains a premier destination for cinematic shoots and scholarly study. Own a definitive chapter of architectural heritage with The Logar House.

"A Richard Neutra home is more than a residence; it's a dialogue between shelter and the infinite horizon, where every line serves the light."
