THE BENSON HOUSE

FEATURED LISTING

FRANK GEHRY, ARCHITECT

THE BENSON HOUSE, 1981

23685 clover trail | calabasas highlands

Early Frank Gehry houses rarely come to market. These residential works predate Gehry’s global fame and offer an intimate view into the ideas that later transformed contemporary architecture. The Benson House stands at the intersection of California modernism, deconstructivist design and experimental residential architecture.
