Constance Perkins House


The Constance Perkins House is a house designed by Richard Neutra and built in Pasadena, California, 1952-55. In 1947, Constance Perkins started working as a professor of Art History at Occidental College and here she met Richard Neutra, eventually asking him to design her home. When Neutra was designing the house for her "he had to reexamine the single-family home and rework conventional patterns of the type." The house itself sits on a little hill in Pasadena, California. "The tiny house was constructed of

be of a surrealist nature but wanted, "something relaxing and more intimate." The final cost of the house came to about $17,166, which was over her original budget, nonetheless she was happy with the results. Both Perkins and Neutra were influenced by John Entenza's "Arts and Architecture" Magazine. The magazine feature a lot of Neutra's work and other famous architects. "The avowed purpose [of the magazine] was to present good, contemporary design to the magazine’s largely lay audience and nudge its

Constance Perkins was a small woman, so he scaled the house to her." Neutra and Perkins worked closely together on the development of the building. In August 1953, Perkins sent Neutra a list of "Likes and Dislikes" with her autobiography so that Neutra could get a feel for

what exactly she wanted for her new home. In October 1953 Neutra had completed the preliminary drawings for her house and after approval and construction, Perkins was finally allowed to move into her new home in December 1955. The Perkins house is one of Neutra's smaller designs. It was formatted specially for Perkins and her budget. The house consists of "a free-from pool extending into the living room." Apparently Neutra and Perkins had some disagreement over what the pool should look like. She didn't want it to

She wanted a space "as a domestic environment in which individual creativity and work, rather than family and leisure activities were the central concept." Constance Perkins was born in Denver in 1913. Her father was a doctor and her mother was an invalid. She studied art and got her BA at the University of Denver. In 1937 she attained

The results were remarkable and A&A’s readers, who held architecture and art close to their hearts, would curl up with a cup of coffee for an hour or so to read the latest issue of the magazine." Perkins saw a great deal of Neutra's designs from this magazine and no doubt inspired her even further to have him design her own home. Perkins' home is influential in modern architecture because of its design and the type of family that would occupy such

Her introduction of the kitchenless house, supported by the underground tunnel system, was efficient for women because it eliminated long hours of labor preparing meals for the family. A kitchenless house could theoretically promote healthier family interaction and care. The garden city movement of Ebenezer Howard and the feminist influence of Charlotte Perkins Gilman helped inspire Austin’s designs. In the public sphere, Austin chose to promote safety and affordability, as illustrated through her plans for public
