Barbara Bestor at home, October 19, 2008

            
Architect Barbara Bestor has been making a splash in recent years in the architecture and design communities in and around Los Angeles: The multi-tasking mother of two is on a fast track, leaving her mark on seemingly everything she undertakes. Her work might be referred to as 'chic Bohemian', infusing practicality with high design.

Her recent book, 'BOHEMIAN MODERN: Living in Silver Lake' (Regan Books, 2006) reveals a great deal about her style: a trip down memory lane with a collection of stories about her local work and the friends she has met along the way.

Following in the footsteps of the great Modernist masters, Bestor selected a site directly across the street from the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Ennis House and two doors down the street from the Richard Neutra-designed Wirin House to build a new residence for herself and her two daughters. German Photographer Martin Schall (you-are-here.com) and I paid a visit in October 2008. The house is open and spacious on three levels, infused with bright colors and bathed in light. A private pool in the front courtyard is screened off from the massive wall of the Ennis House across the street.

The Barbara Bestor Residence is located at 2612 Glendower Avenue in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.
