Anderton Court Shops, Beverly Hills, CA
Frank Lloyd Wright, 1952
About: Wright’s only retail space built in Southern California sits on fashionable Rodeo Drive. Six boutiques across three floors are arranged around a central light well and connected by cantilevered ramps in the front and center of the building. A unit on the third floor was designed as a penthouse apartment. A penthouse studio is located above this space. Wright designed the façade as an inverted V to maximize usable floor space.
