Hosted by MAK Director Priscilla Fraser & MAK Deputy Director Anthony Carfello, Matthew Slotover, Co-Founder of Frieze Fairs and Sam Aldenton & Rohan Silva, co-founders of Second Home.
Join us for a tour of the city’s most exciting and ambitious buildings to discover the future of work and life, as told through the structures around us. The tour begins with a light breakfast at the Schindler House. Designed by RM Schindler in 1922, it is arguably the first modernist home built in the United States. From this location we continue to the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence designed by John Lautner in 1961. This house has become a permanent figure in pop-culture, featured in numerous photoshoots and films including the Big Lebowski and Charlies Angels. Following the Sheats-Goldstein residence we will visit the Schindler-designed Lechner House. Recently restored by celebrated designer Pamela Shamshiri, of Commune and Studio Shamshiri, the home has been featured in numerous publications including Vogue and the New York Times; this tour marks its first ever opening to the public. Lastly we take the first view of Second Home's new campus; a workspace and cultural venue launching in LA this summer.

About The MAK Center for Art and Architecture
The MAK Center for Art and Architecture develops local and international projects exploring the intersection of contemporary art and architecture. Established in 1994 as a satellite of the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/ Contemporary Art, the MAK Center is a unique constellation of modern buildings designed by architect R. M. Schindler (1887 – 1953). It operates from the landmark Schindler House (1922) in West Hollywood and the Mackey Apartments (1939) and the Fitzpatrick – Leland House (1936) in Los Angeles. By reactivating historic properties with progressive programming, the MAK Center challenges conventional notions of architectural preservation and encourages exploration and experimentation as part of its unique contribution to the cultural landscape of Los Angeles.
