In the dynamic growth of post World War II Los Angeles, Architect Gregory Ain's experiments in low-cost, multi-family housing stand out as his greatest contribution. The Mar Vista project followed the success of the Park Planned Homes development, twenty-eight single family homes on Highview Avenue in Altadena, CA (1946).
The Mar Vista project was even more ambitious; fifty-two houses in all, dissimilar from one another by 'turning the houses in different directions'. Ain used a simple post-and-beam system with clerestory windows and a sliding panel between one of the bedrooms and the living room, providing a sense of openness in the small (1,050 sq. ft.) homes.
Gregory Ain's Mar Vista Homes are located between Beethoven, Moore and Meier Streets, south of Marco Place. The above house, located at 3556 Moore Street, exemplifies the style.
