About the Case Study House #21 (Bailey House)
Case Study House #21, also known as the Bailey House, is a stunning example of Mid-Century Modern architecture located at 9038 Wonderland Park Avenue in Los Angeles, California. Designed by renowned architect Pierre Koenig as part of the innovative Case Study House Program, this steel-framed residence was meticulously restored to its original glory.
Originally built in 1959 for psychologist Walter Bailey and his wife Mary, the Bailey House was envisioned as a prototype for modern housing that could be mass-produced. The one-story box design features a flat roof, steel and glass construction, and an open-plan layout that seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor spaces.
Koenig's attention to detail in orienting the house for optimal climate control, with features like sliding doors for cross-ventilation and reflective pools for cooling, ensures that the Bailey House remains both visually striking and functional. The recent restoration project, completed in 2023 by Mark Haddawy Inc., focused on stabilizing the foundation and preserving the architect's original vision.
With historical documentation, including original Koenig drawings and Julius Shulman photographs, guiding the restoration process, Case Study House #21 stands as a rare and beautiful example of steel-framed residential architecture in a Mid-Century Modern style. This architectural gem is a testament to Koenig's innovative design principles and continues to inspire admiration from visitors and architecture enthusiasts alike.
