If you love architecture, especially the quirky deconstructivist-style of architecture popularized by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, you owe it to yourself to take a drive by his home in a quiet Santa Monica suburb. The Gehry House is exceptional in that it appears to be made up of random shapes attached to a standard California bungalow. Instead of designing his own residence from scratch, Frank Gehry purchased a bungalow and then allowed his remarkable artistic knack for the unusual to take over. The resultant Gehry House is a brilliant piece of architecture featuring leaning glass cubes juxtaposed against tall corrugated walls which appear unfinished – a hallmark of his style. Since this is a private home no tours are permitted.
