During a long and productive career Architect Rudolph.M. Schindler designed four apartment complexes including the Laurelwood Apartments in Studio City, California. The complex consists of two separate buildings separated by a central walkway. Each building has five, two unit apartments with the ground level units having semi-private gardens and the upper level units having roof decks. He created a two-level complex split into a pair of separate buildings each containing five, two-unit blocks on either side of a central walkway. Schindler gave the ground apartments garden patios, while the upper ones got roof decks. The complex has endured hardships over the years, nearly being bulldozed a couple of times. Seeing it yesterday everything seemed to be in good order; the exterior looked as if it had been freshly painted, and in the original blue-green color, a favorite of the architect.
The Laurelwood is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 228) designated in 1980. Located at 11833-11837 Laurelwood Drive.
