Case Study House #9 by Eames and Saarinen For Sale

Can you imagine owning Case Study House #9 by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen and its merely your guest house? The home, built for Arts & Architecture Publisher and Editor John Entenza who created the Case Study House program, now serves as a guest house (I can't believe it either) to a massive contemporary by Barry Berkus. Both houses can be yours for $14 million. As a number of people here on Curbed LA commented, this situation calls for an ironic twist: tear down the new house and keep the old one. CSH #9, by the way, sits next to another famous home in Pacific Palisades designed by Eames and Saarinen, Case Study House #8, better known as the Eames House.

Arts and Achitecture Archives

I love the online archives of Arts and Architecture magazine, which sponsored the case House Study Program under editor and publisher John Entenza. You can view the table of contents from all the issues from 1945 to 1967 and a selected article from each issue. You can also view the entire articles of each of the Case Study Houses. If the web collection is not enough, you can buy the Case Study House book by Taschen featuring the entire collection of homes for $200. Taschen is expecred to publish all the issues of A&A in book form this spring. I wonder how much that one is going to cost.
