Harwell Hamilton Harris Homes for Sale | Harris was a noted modernist architect born in Redlands, California in 1903. Originally a fine arts major studying sculpture at LA’s Otis Art Institute, Harwell Hamilton Harris, changed his focus to architecture after visiting Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House and discovering Wright’s Wasmuth Portfolio in a serendipitous turn.
Harris’ intended path was to study architecture at the University of California at Berkeley, however, he never attended instead finding employment with Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler in Los Angeles. In 1933, Harris established his own practice with his first commissions being smaller homes based on Modernist principles. John Entenza, Arts and Architecture Magazines’ influential editor and creator of the forthcoming Case Study Program, hired Harris to design his personal residence in the hills of Santa Monica in 1937. Much like his mentors, Harris incorporated organic materials, marrying indoor space with the outdoors, and his fine arts perspective of color theory to his projects, creating a unique signature to his design.
