The Music Room at Manola Court.

To experience Manola Court (aka the Sachs Apartments) is to enter into the mind of one of the pioneers of Southern California modernism. Its architect, R.M. Schindler—a contemporary and colleague of Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra—designed the 16-unit complex in the 1920s for his friend, Herman Sachs, a bon vivant, muralist, and designer who left his mark on the civic landscape of Los Angeles through his work on important public buildings, including Union Station and City Hall. Manola Court, Sachs’s home and studio—and the social hub for a vibrant Silver Lake creative community—is now a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. A meticulous new restoration pairs Schindler’s principles and vision with amenities that bring the best of the 21st century to this magnificent property. Private courtyards and lush landscaping by Terremoto unite the complex’s five buildings, creating a green oasis in the middle of Silver Lake, one of LA’s most interesting neighborhoods.

"Each of my buildings deal with a different architectural problem, the existence of which has been forgotten in this period of Rational Mechanization. The question of whether a house is really a house is more important to me, than the fact that it is made of steel, glass, putty or hot air." - R.M. Schindler
