Gehry Residence, Deconstructivist residence in Santa Monica, United States.
The exterior structure combines industrial materials such as chain-link fencing, corrugated metal, and plywood, creating an experimental architectural form.
Frank Gehry transformed this 1920s Dutch colonial house in 1978, making it a manifesto of his architectural vision and deconstructivist principles.
The residence established new perspectives in residential architecture by challenging traditional design norms through its fragmented geometries and exposed structural elements.
The house remains a private residence without public access, though architecture enthusiasts can observe its exterior from Santa Monica streets.
The structure appears deliberately unfinished, with windows that seem to emerge from walls and exposed building materials that reveal internal framework components.
