Samuel Freeman House by Frank Lloyd Wright

The Samuel Freeman House is defined by its exterior of twelve thousand cast-concrete blocks, each textured with complex, pre-Columbian designs. Completed in nineteen twenty-five, the residence is one of four experimental textile-block houses Frank Lloyd Wright built in Southern California. While the house appears as a modest, single-story structure from the street, the design uses the steep Hollywood Hills slope to extend two additional levels down the hillside.
