Neutra VDL Studio and Residences - iPad App
There's an (iPad) app for that!
Available now from the iTunes/app store.

Resident Director Sarah Lorenzen and husband David Hartwell of Plasmatic Concepts are proud to announce the release of “Neutra VDL Studio and Residences.” This iPad app explores Richard Neutra’s Mid-Century Modernist masterpiece located in Los Angeles. Sarah's unique position enables her to share with the public a living architectural experience of this seminal structure from the inside out.

The iPad app includes never seen before photography of the house along with photographs of famed architectural photographer Julius Shulman, courtesy of the J. Paul Getty Trust. An interactive timeline, rotating 3D models, plans and sections, are some of the features that make this beautifully designed 260 page app (130 pages, 2 orientations) a must have for anyone passionate about this fascinating period in architecture.



This Ipad publication focuses primarily on the Van der Leeuw (VDL) Research Studio and Residences located in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. There are many reasons we chose to highlight this particular Neutra project: it was Neutra's own family residence and workplace; it was built in three phases offering insight into the evolution of Neutra's architectural ideas; and it is today the only Neutra residence regularly open to the public.
