The Library of Mr. & Mrs. Neutra
A book about books. Specifically, the ones Richard and Dione Neutra kept — inscribed, dog-eared, and arranged within their VDL House in Los Angeles — a modernist residence that was itself a living argument for how space shapes thought.
This is architecture as autobiography: 112 pages indexing a personal collection where professional obsession, family history, and intellectual life converge on a single shelf. As much a treatise on the act of collecting as on the architect himself — what we gather, and why, says everything.
Co-published with Marta, Los Angeles, on the occasion of the Built In exhibition. Edited by Jeff Khonsary and Benjamin Critton.
A considered gift for those who read architecture the way others read fiction.

We are lifelong bibliophiles. Shelves filled with books line our studio walls and more are stacked on every surface. We admire their design, scrutinize their typography, fetishize their paper and analyze their binding. We read them for research, for inspiration, for the sheer pleasure of exploring new worlds of thought and experience.
We have curated a selection of books to offer our audience, based on our interests and yours. Most of our books are limited editions or out of print, they are seldom available in the US, and not available on Amazon.
