Architect Raphael Soriano’s 1939 Gogol House has been listed for $1.195 million.
The three bed/three bath home located in Loz Feliz is one of twelve remaining mid-century moderns designed by the L.A. architect from the 1930s through the 1950s. Soriano studied his craft under L.A. starchitects Neutra and Schindler and was a pioneer in the use of modular prefab steel and aluminum in his designs. Soriano participated in the Case Study Houses program and designed a house for famed architectural photographer Julius Shulman in 1950.
Soriano designed the Los Feliz home for surgeon Louis Gogol and wife and the mid-century modern is considered a prime example of Soriano’s earlier works.
Soriano’s design features glass walls, a much featured architectural detail in homes of the international style.
A 2,000 square foot roof deck blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, another prominent feature of the genre.
The updated kitchen offers city views.
The living room utilizes a bank of windows to bring the outdoor views inside.
