Craig Ellwood Homes for Sale | Although legendary Los Angeles modernist Craig Ellwood (1922-1992), was never formally trained as an architect, he was educated in structural engineering at UCLA and had a natural brilliance for architecture and design.

Ellwood is considered to be among the most celebrated creators of the Mid-Century Modern movement, ambition, talent and a carefully orchestrated public persona, made him a perfect fit with the Southern California lifestyle. Like many of his colleagues, Ellwood made a name for himself in Los Angeles during the 1940s. His career hit a turning point after meeting Charles and Ray Eames and John Entenza, curator of the famed post-war Case Study House program. Ellwood was invited by Entenza to participate in the famed program, designing Case Study Houses (#16, #17 and #18, sadly only #16 remains today). Influenced by the International Style, Ellwood designed homes with a pared-down simplicity – moving from wood in the early part of his career to a highly rational design of steel construction, frameless floor-to-ceiling glass and concrete, building both single and multi-family structures.
