Frank Gehry Designs: The Gehry Residence

Located in Santa Monica, California, the Gehry Residence is, unsurprisingly, where Frank Gehry himself resides. Gehry purchased the erstwhile pink bungalow property in 1977 and soon began expanding and modifying the house, eventually building an entirely new structure around the preexisting one. The house incorporates a variety of materials, including chain link fences and steel.
