Clark House, Modernist residence in Pasadena, United States
Clark House is a modernist residence in Pasadena featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls that frame views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Rose Bowl, and downtown Pasadena. The three-bedroom home includes distinct guest quarters, a central living area with a brick fireplace, and a master bedroom wing connected to a carport.
Austrian-American architect Richard Neutra designed this residence in 1957, during the period when he was establishing himself as a leading figure in American architecture. The house was built when he was developing his most influential residential concepts.
The residence reflects International Style principles through open floor plans and generous use of ash wood, while blending interior and exterior spaces into one flowing design. The extensive glazing connects inhabitants directly with the surrounding mountains and landscape throughout their daily lives.
The property sits on a hilltop in the Verdugo Mountains foothills with commanding views from multiple rooms. A visit requires advance planning due to the elevated setting and the sloped terrain surrounding the site.
The structure was engineered to be anchored directly into bedrock after a 1968 landslide threatened the property. This specialized solution demonstrates Neutra's ability to combine architectural innovation with practical site challenges.
