The Schott House is a significant example of mid century modern architecture in Crestwood Hills. Design by architect A. Quincy Jones, FAIA, in 1948, the home features bold lines, integration with nature and innovative use of space. The architectural design demonstrates a commitment to aesthetic sophistication and serves as an inspiration for many subsequent homes in the area, influencing both form and function. The Schott House celebrates Jones’ vision of the ideals of modern living that still hold true today.
The living room in this Brentwood A. Quincy Jones architectural home is set back from the main room to provide easy access to the thoughtfully designed outdoor gardens. One side of the room features expansive glass walls, allowing airy light in and offering panoramic views of the lush greenery outside. On the other side, striking original concrete blocks stretch to the ceiling, providing a strong contrast in materials and adding texture to the room. At the center of the design, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace serves as the focal point, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the classic mid century architectural design.
The kitchen seamlessly integrates with the living areas, showcasing the property’s original redwood siding. Large sliding doors bridge the indoor and outdoor worlds, directly connecting the kitchen to adjacent patios and gardens. When opened, these doors invite the outdoors in, enhancing the connection to nature and allowing for effortless entertaining and movement between spaces.
The bedrooms are highlighted by modern built-ins that enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Douglas Fir plywood ceilings creating inviting retreats within the home. Hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows further amplify this serene environment.
The Schott House’s exterior has been meticulously maintained, preserving its original post-and-beam structure, a key feature of mid century modern design. This sturdy framework not only provides structural integrity but also enhances the home’s visual appeal, displaying clean lines and a minimalist silhouette.
