Shulman House & Studio, Raphael Soriano, Architect 1950

Shulman House & Studio, Raphael Soriano, Architect 1950
As the most prominent architectural photographer of the past seventy years, Julius Shulman has worked with nearly every important architect beginning with Richard Neutra (Kun House, 1938). In fact it was Neutra that launched Shulman's career, by introducing him to the leading architects of the day. In Neutra's protege, Raphael Soriano, Julius found a gifted architect that was perhaps more flexible than his mentor, easily incorporating Shulman's strong design preferences.

The steel and glass house is still occupied by Shulman, still going strong at age 98 (October 10, 2010, he will celebrate his 100th birthday). The famed photographer keeps a full schedule, lecturing and teaching, and much in demand for his photographic skills.

The Shulman House is located at 7875 Woodrow Wilson Drive in the Hollywood Hills. It was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1987 (No. 325)
