During its 20 years of designing, renovating, and building houses mostly in Southern California, Marmol Radziner + Associates has soaked up a rich tradition of Modernism and interpreted it in a series of projects that engage nature as an instrument of architecture. Channeling the spirits of Wright, Schindler, and Neutra, Leo Marmol, FAIA, and Ron Radziner, FAIA, have created buildings that embody the easy-living ideal we thought disappeared from sunny California with the onslaught of sprawl and McMansions. The Vienna Way Residence, which Radziner designed for himself and his family, distills this legacy of graceful indoor-outdoor living to its let’s-have-breakfast-by-the-pool essence. Visiting it in February makes even the most die-hard New York editor contemplate moving west.
