Lovell Health House

The Lovell Health House is an International style modernist residence designed and built by Richard Neutra between 1927 and 1929. The home was originally built for the physician and naturopath Philip Lovell and is considered a major monument in architectural history. It is often described as the first steel frame house in the United States, and also an early example of the use of gunite. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and as a City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument (#123) in 1974. Creative Space, having previously worked with the current owners on multiple art gallery projects, was tasked to oversee the historic restoration and modernization project currently under construction with an estimated completion of year-end 2024. The project team includes the esteemed architectural restoration firm Escher Gunewardena, architectural historian Barbara Lamprecht, interior designer Luis Laplace, general contractor OM Construction, structural engineer Nous Engineering, MEP designer Buro Happold, landscape designer Terremoto and wood restorer Andrew Gray Studio.
