This story is portion of Image challenge 11, “Renovation,” the place we discover the architecture of each day existence — and what it would seem like to tear it all down. Read through the whole concern listed here.
An original toilet is a unusual species. An vital area of unmentionables — in a lot of techniques, its reason is very clear, unchanged. And however the bathroom is the next most remodeled home in a dwelling after the kitchen, so it’s normally a surprise — and a thrill — to obtain a historical bathroom untouched.
My sister’s rest room is one particular of these midcentury ceramic tile relics, the type that continue to exist during Los Angeles, hiding within stucco box flats and modest bungalows, in Spanish-type villas and Hollywood Regency mansions. This was the very first a single I experienced ever found and did not know existed after a childhood in a tract property in the Valley (818 permanently!), a place with this variety of record and character was from a further globe. With its pale yellow tile and glossy black borders, an old mirrored medication cabinet with a slot to dispose of razor blades in the back again, it seemed to be sui generis, idiosyncratic and by some means perfectly fitting my powerful but chill Scorpio sister.
“The toilet is the next most transformed area in a household after the kitchen, so it’s always a shock — and a thrill — to locate a historical rest room untouched,” writes Krystal Chang.

The second time I observed these kinds of a toilet was in what would turn into my personal condominium — this time peach tile with grey borders. The lavatory experienced the exact skinny, horizontal tile depth that seems to be both of those wholly superfluous but quite intentional, the very same antique created-in wall heater with exposed electrical coils that appears like a basic safety hazard but works like a allure. Developed-in heaters of this wide variety have been very first introduced by Thermador in the 1920s. Mine was section of its 1930s “Skyscraper” series, a second in style and design when even wall heaters could have Artwork Deco aspirations.
The specific character of these L.A. historical loos will come via in the attributes — what has been preserved. The bogs generally occur in colours you don’t see anymore — a quirky splash of pink or mint — with a contrasting border and occasionally even a couple of hand-painted parts in the blend. There is typically just a tiled countertop and bathtub region. But in some loos the tile spreads from surface area to surface area, covering the partitions and floor, permitting the rest room alone to stretch out, a stand-by yourself shower to individual from the bathtub, just about every with its individual arched, tiled niches. The other fixtures, individuals necessary components — the cleaning soap dish, the cup holder, the towel rack, the bathroom paper holder — are tile-glazed much too. It’s an immersive experience. Standing in just one of these bathrooms you realize that you are beholding a Gesamtkunstwerk, a full operate of artwork.
“Even if a pink bathroom is not to your style, it’s straightforward to appreciate one thing that has integrity, is fitting to its time, is committed to wearing very well,” writes Krystal Chang, whose floral artwork is on see in this 1.

Even if a pink lavatory is not to your taste, it’s quick to enjoy some thing that has integrity, is fitting to its time, is committed to donning nicely. Vintage tile bathrooms arrive with other bygone luxuries: tidy mortar that lasts endlessly, a tub stopper that truly stops water and the holy grail by itself, significant h2o strain.
In a world where by the previous exists on an at any time-diminishing scale as structures get put up and knocked down, L.A.’s midcentury bathrooms sense anchored to a unique lineage.
In the Victorian era, loos were being about sanitation, dominated by white subway tile, all the superior to see dust and get rid of it. The ’20s introduced pastel colors, which received saturated and adorned in the ’30s, influenced by the Arts and Crafts motion. The wars returned things to white, this time in an limitless 4-by-4 sq. grid, although also bringing industrialization, standardization and the starting of more affordable — and significantly less resilient — approaches of developing.
In the ’50s, postwar optimism brought back again shade for fantastic, with pink and peach being the most well-liked colours for the rest room (hat idea to Mamie Eisenhower’s pink bathroom), but this time not only the tile but the sinks and toilets have been pink as perfectly — or mint, or newborn blue, or sunflower yellow.
The ’60s and ’70s stored the shade and threw in all the things else: sample on sample, wallpaper, fake wooden paneling, carpet! Then arrived the major stone of a faux Italian villa and extremely-highly-priced but totally monotonous seamless, white surfaces, but also craftsman stylish with tactile components and tasteful colors — tile arrived roaring again!
You can see some of the heritage thumbing through classic tile Instagram accounts these present day archives act like the architectural equivalent of peeking into someone’s drugs cabinet. See @vintagebathroomlove for sweet-coloured tile porn, historic appreciation and fashionable retro renovations (the opposite of @ZillowGoneWild) see @vintagetilepreservation for guiding-the-scenes stories and if you by yourself have vintage tile to help save.
For this job, I wanted to pay out homage to the classic L.A. tile toilet as a result of a operate of my possess. This piece, “splish splash flowers in the bath” (2022), limns all the features of my inventive exercise: bouquets, architecture, gardens and installations delving into what surrounds us, no matter whether organic or built. The operate is established in a Spanish-fashion courtyard home from 1931. This bathroom has first ceramic tile in remarkable purple and black with Art Deco styling and every little thing on best, arched niches for tub and shower, all the tile equipment. It is utilitarian but fashionable, cramped but utterly magnificent. It’s been built and designed to be lived in, with the inhabitant’s daily practices currently imagined and provided for, a sanctuary that anticipates your needs.

I desired to reply to the decadent, quirky, golden age of Hollywood glam of it all. I utilized traditional flowers in untraditional forms — storybook purple yard roses, dark trumpet-formed calla lilies with white edges like grout lines, vivid orange poppies contacting back ‘Wizard of Oz’ (also from the 1930s, remembered as 1 of the very first mainstream flicks in shade), dainty lavender lily of the valley but coupled with black rattlesnake grass, foraged nasturtiums and their leaves like miniature lily pads swimming in a milk bathtub, an evocative glimpse of houseplants taking a shower, like illicitly catching a physique in the nude. I wanted to capture the drama, the contrasts, but I also preferred it to feel like somebody had just stepped out of the body, a person lives here.
They say that practically nothing lasts in L.A. This is the land of perpetual youth and reinvention. But consider this piece a really like letter to the past, to show how, at times, an previous matinee idol can locate an adoring new viewers simply because all we want is to be entranced, transported to a different time.

Is there a compound word that describes the feeling of alienation induced by really wanting to embrace a new piece of architecture but being viscerally unable to do so? A disarchpointment? A designchantment? A stuporstructure? Because I could really use a word to describe my feelings toward the first major building in Los Angeles by the international design studio Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA).
The building in question is the new Audrey Irmas Pavilion, a leaning and gleaming 55,000-square-foot event space for Koreatown’s Wilshire Boulevard Temple — which, had the COVID-19 Omicron variant not touched down with such sticky ferocity, would have held its official opening last week. (That event has been delayed until further notice.)
OMA was founded by Rem Koolhaas, but the Pritzker Prize-winning Dutch architect was only minimally involved in this project. The pavilion’s design was instead led by Shohei Shigematsu, a partner in the firm’s New York office — with Koolhaas contributing the design of the mezuzas affixed to key doorposts in the pavilion. On board as executive architect was the L.A. firm Gruen Associates.
One of Shigematsu’s preferred ways of describing the building — a three-story parallelogram draped in a honeycomb pattern that angles into an architecturally significant stretch of Wilshire — is as “a machine for gatherings.”
“Machine” is a fair description. But since this is L.A., the rules require me to employ showbiz similes. I will therefore note that the building’s profile, from certain angles, bears a striking resemblance to the irregularly angled Jawa transports from “Star Wars.” (Sorry, architects. These are the rules.)

Before diving into the nitty gritty, I want to commend Rabbi Steve Leder and the congregation at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple for aspiring to something daring. The path of least resistance would have been to put up a derivative event space that vaguely resembled the Byzantine-style architecture of the existing temple in some bland, new-ish way. That would have been a building that neither pleased nor offended; the sort you walk past and never think about again. And that would have been a bummer, since the temple is such an important part of Southern California history.
The Wilshire Boulevard Temple is the third home of the Congregation of B’nai B’rith, the oldest Jewish congregation in Los Angeles, which was founded in 1862 — just a dozen years after California became a U.S. state and 14 years before the transcontinental railroad arrived in the city. In the 1920s, the congregation acquired a property at Wilshire and Hobart boulevards, in what was then a tony, residential part of L.A. — the “Fifth Avenue of the West,” as described by the era’s eager boosters. There, architects S. Tilden Norton, A.M. Edelman and David C. Allison designed a temple sanctuary, completed in 1929, that bears Byzantine and Romanesque flourishes with a dramatic dome that spans 100 feet. There are, naturally, some resplendent touches: black marble columns, a brilliant rose window and bronze chandeliers.
The building also bears some of the visual sleights of hand borrowed from the industry that helped build it. Among the temple’s most important benefactors were Hollywood film moguls Louis B. Mayer, Irving Thalberg, Carl Laemmle and Sid Grauman. This accounts for some of the architecture’s cinematic touches: sanctuary seating arranged like a movie theater and architectural elements that employ illusion — such as interior stone walls that aren’t stone but a much lighter composite (just knock on them), and a dome whose cerulean oculus comes courtesy of skillfully deployed colored lights. It is a building that carries early Hollywood in its bones. And it’s looking spiffy, having received a meticulous $47.5-million renovation in 2013.

Plunking some tedious event hall next door would, therefore, have been a disappointment — more so given that the temple’s neighbor to the east is the starkly beautiful St. Basil’s Catholic Church, a soaring Brutalist structure, dedicated in 1969, that was designed by the firms of A.C. Martin and Emmett L. Wemple and that features stunning three-dimensional stained glass panels by the late L.A. artist Claire Falkenstein.
The history and location are why I wanted to love — love — the new Audrey Irmas Pavilion (which bears the name of the patron who gave the lead gift on the $95-million project). But OMA has delivered a building that is hard to love.
That is not surprising, coming from a firm known for its brash designs. OMA designed the pronged headquarters of China Central Television (CCTV) in Beijing (completed in 2012) as well as the Seattle Central Library in Washington state (2004), a critically well-received structure whose staggered forms appear to want to burst from a cage-like skin.
The three-story Audrey Irmas Pavilion makes deferential nods to the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. The honeycomb pattern inside the temple’s dome inspired the honeycomb pattern on the new pavilion’s exterior. The dome’s sweeping arch influenced the form of the pavilion’s ground-floor event space, an extruded arched space that checks in at nearly 14,000 square feet. The pavilion’s second story contains a glassy indoor-outdoor chapel and event terrace that respectfully frames views of the temple’s dome and stained glass windows. In addition, the pavilion leans away from the temple to create a sense of openness between the buildings and so that the interstitial outdoor spaces might feel less like alleyways and more like courtyards.

But what sounds good on paper doesn’t always congeal in real life.
The building’s deferential lean can feel like a recoil at certain angles. And there’s the skin. To give the building its honeycomb pattern, Shigematsu and his team encrusted the facade with 1,230 hexagonal panels made from glass fiber-reinforced concrete. Each panel is set at a unique angle, and each contains a window that is set at a unique angle. The panels are all the same buff-colored concrete, but they are ridged, and depending on the angle of the sun, the plays on texture and light can make it seem as if they are different shades. It’s relentless pattern-making — and, when combined with the building’s unusual angles, provides few, if any, spaces for the eye to rest. Coco Chanel once famously said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” OMA’s pavilion puts it all on.

Other design elements, likewise, lack subtlety. As you ascend the building’s three stories and approach the sky, different colors are introduced. The ground-level event space is dressed in a palette of earth tones: Red terrazzo tile on the floor is paired with the warm Sassandra wood veneers of the arched ceiling. Climb a level, and you’ll find yourself in the glassy indoor-outdoor chapel and event terrace, which is encased in an electric shade of emerald green glass. Keep climbing to the third floor and you’ll encounter a sunken garden (with a landscape design by Mia Lehrer of Studio-MLA) that is surrounded by walls painted an azure blue.
OMA is known for its radical color treatments, such as the fiery red hall inside the Seattle library. But here, in what is purportedly an event space for a religious organization, the site of weddings and family reunions, the palette comes off as Dr. Seuss meets Miami Beach.

Also on the third floor of the pavilion is GenSpace, a new organization established and funded by L.A. philanthropist Wallis Annenberg to serve as a wellness and cultural center for neighborhood seniors. I can’t think of an architecture more ill-suited to this purpose. The building’s angled rooms of gleaming white are the sort of spaces that seem designed to harbor a tech company or a graphic design firm, not a senior center that will host messy gardening and art-making classes. Installed within one of these pristine rooms is a garden hose, an addition that no doubt sent a chill down the spine of the architects (not to mention anyone who works in maintenance).
And, of course, there are the Koolhaas-designed mezuzas, the small cases attached to doorways that carry a piece of inscribed parchment scroll — an object that serves as a reminder of faith. Koolhaas rendered these as rectangular stone prisms that vary in color depending on the floor. Given the lightness of some of the interiors and that many of the mezuzas are attached to glass doorways, the material feels heavy. But the design could make starchitect-designed mezuzas a thing.

None of this means that the Audrey Irmas Pavilion doesn’t have inspired moments.
Out-of-town architects, often seduced by visions of L.A. car culture, have a knack for creating buildings that are great to drive past. Think of Rafael Moneo’s cathedral and Coop Himmelblau’s performing arts high school, which so dramatically frame the 101 Freeway downtown. The Audrey Irmas Pavilion is no exception. Travel along Wilshire Boulevard in either direction and there is a moment in which you’ll catch sight of OMA’s building leaning out into the road, like some otherworldly neolithic presence. In the afternoon light, the windows sparkle — dappling the temple sanctuary with reflected light, but also creating a confetti pattern inside the pavilion. During that magic hour, the lobby area of the event space transforms into a dazzling light show.
When the afternoon sun hits the pavilion’s Western side, light dapples the temple.

Also seductive are the views from the emerald chapel and terrace on the second floor. On the floor of the terrace is a glass cutout that serves as a skylight to the main event space below. This creates a horizontal pool of glass that has the effect of perfectly capturing the reflection of the temple dome next door. It’s a flawless alignment of materials and framing.
The building also smartly takes advantage of the roof, which has a landscaped terrace that encircles the sunken garden and that from above looks like a pool. The views, which reach to the Hollywood Hills in the distance, are fantastic. Pandemic or no pandemic, this breezy setting will be the space to party.

But ultimately, OMA’s building leaves me wanting. On their own, many of the ideas contained within the pavilion are compelling. Piled together, they form a jumble — one in need of careful editing and even more careful synthesis. It’s a building that gets stuck inside its own head. And that’s the sort of building that’s hard to love.
The Los Angeles home of inside designer Giampiero Tagliaferri is an item lesson in the wonders of 20th-century Italian home furnishings and the affinities among Italian modernism and the midcentury-modern motion incubated in Southern California. Chockablock with treasures both equally common and obscure, the decor encompasses function by luminaries on the purchase of Gae Aulenti, Vico Magistretti, Joe Colombo, Osvaldo Borsani, Angelo Mangiarotti, Mario Bellini, and Ettore Sottsass, alongside with furnishings by significant but lesser-acknowledged talents these as Cesare Leonardi, Franca Stagi, Gianni Celada, and Gianni Moscatelli.
Tagliaferri is one thing of an Italian treasure himself. Born in Bergamo, the dapper, 38-calendar year-outdated expertise used yrs in Milan performing on advertising technique and style for the stylish eyewear manufacturer Oliver Peoples. 6 years in the past, following staying named inventive director of the business, he relocated to L.A., exactly where he oversaw the style of extra than a dozen Oliver Peoples boutiques in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. “In higher education I analyzed small business and industrial structure, so I uncovered to approach business enterprise from a layout perspective and vice versa. The Rome boutique was my initial interiors venture. It made me notice that interior style and design is the place my correct passions lie,” Tagliaferri suggests.
Although he carries on to seek the advice of with Oliver Peoples, Tagliaferri not too long ago left his position there to concentrate complete-time on his recently minted interior layout enterprise, tackling household and industrial assignments in the U.S. and overseas. Even much more than the retailers he’s established, Tagliaferri’s seductive household in L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood serves as the most powerful card for the designer’s urbane sensibility and incisive eye. Built in 1939 by architect E. Richard Lind, a protégé and colleague of the excellent Rudolph Schindler, the house synthesizes components of early California modernism with a lot more unique, attractive inspirations garnered from far-flung locales. “From the exterior, the house has a solid Japanese vibe, like a ryokan. The glazing of the entryway almost feels like a shoji display screen. But when you concentration on the aspects, you see the unmistakable impact of Schindler and his contemporaries,” Tagliaferri points out.
While the composition and format of the initial property continue to be largely intact, the designer completely remodeled the character and complexion of the interiors with a worldly mélange of artwork, objects, and furnishings. In addition to the aforementioned maestros of Italian structure, Tagliaferri’s ensembles include contemporary pieces—including planters and vessels by Adam Sirak, Jonathan Cross, Eric Roinestad, and Olivia Cognet—as well as an idiosyncratic artwork assortment that spans Lucio Fontana and Sonia Delaunay to John Baldessari and Herb Ritts. A Senufo African hen sculpture represents a tip of the hat to Yves Saint Laurent–style savoir-faire, although swaths of emerald environmentally friendly and royal blue on the partitions of the kitchen and business, respectively, goose the subdued, organic palette of the home’s initial California redwood paneling with splashes of 1960s Italian Pop. Quintessentially American midcentury furnishings by George Nelson, Eero Saarinen, and Walter Lamb, alongside with Brazilian modernist parts by Oscar Niemeyer and Ricardo Fasanello, grow the layout lexicon outside of Europe.
“I’m interested in the cross-currents of modernism that hook up the operate that evolved in Europe, South America, and the U.S. This property gave me the option to discover the kinship and tension among these disparate spots and eras, and the means in which the mild and landscape of Los Angeles generate a unique context and perception of place,” Tagliaferri suggests. The close outcome of those explorations is a property that celebrates the strength and spirit of California whilst shelling out homage to the remarkable legacy of the designer’s household country and sympathetic style and design movements all over the world. Welcome to the earth of Giampiero Tagliaferri.
