This house was built in a very different town, a town of empty hills. Back then the water was much closer, just across the road. From the rooftop it was hard to tell where the house ended and the water began. Now the hills in all directions are filled in its replica, while the house sits uninhabited. The reservoir has drained itself to match. But the water was always a part of this home; it can't stay away.

In this monument of all windows, figures flicker to life.

You can see them from the park as the sun begins to drop, catch them in a mirror or the glint of an appliance. They emerge to fill in the blanks, to stroke the handwriting on every light switch, to dance this prism.

The reservoir is returning.

The Neutra Studio and Residences (VDL Research House) is associated with Richard Neutra, a nationally and internationally seminal figure of the twentieth century Modern movement in architecture. During the 1940s, as Neutra's work evolved, he also became the well-recognized founder of mid-century California Modern architecture. The VDL Research House is the only property where one can see the progression of his style over a period of years and is among the key properties to understanding the national significance of Richard Neutra.

This year the Neutra Studio and Residences (VDL Research House) was named a National Historic Landmark.
