THE ENNIS HOUSE

The Ennis House, located in Los Angeles, is an iconic example of Frank Lloyd Wright's work and a notable piece of American architecture. Built in 1924, the house is a prime example of Wright's Mayan Revival style, featuring distinctive geometric patterns and a concrete block construction.



"Youth is a circumstance you can’t do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old."

The house was designed for Charles Ennis, a successful haberdasher, and his wife, Mabel. Its unique design reflects Wright's interest in integrating architecture with the natural environment.

The use of textured concrete blocks gives the house a striking, almost ancient appearance, while also ensuring that it is both functional and resilient.

Just as the Ennis House blends seamlessly with its surroundings while making a bold statement, our fashion pieces strive to balance elegance with modernity. The house’s timeless elegance and creative vision fuel our commitment to crafting designs that are both classic and forward-thinking.

 

 

The Ennis House has been featured in various films and TV shows, including the 1960 film "Blade Runner", where its distinctive look made it a fitting backdrop for the futuristic cityscapes depicted in the movie. Its historical and architectural significance has made it a subject of interest for both scholars and enthusiasts alike.
