The Stahl House is a modernist-styled house designed by architect Pierre Koenig in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles, California, which is known as a frequent set location in American films. Photographic and anecdotal evidence suggests that the architect's client, Buck Stahl, may have provided an inspiration for the overall structure.[1]
Coverage[]
The Stahl House is featured in Home Wrecked Home.
It was introduced in 15 years after people when an iconic house high in the Hollywood hills whose revolutionary engineering came to symbolize the California lifestyle of the 1960's is still intact. The show gave information that the Stahl House was built entirely of glass & steel, on a lot that is so steep that many considered it unbuildable but owner Buck Stahl disagreed and spent 2 years personally constructing the concrete terraces that continued to anchor the house on the cliff. The region is vulnerable to catastrophic mudslides and 15 years after people, untamed wildfires ravage Los Angeles, which burns inside the Stahl House [and the windows crack and break] but the structure refuses to burn down. Steven S. Ross stated that the plate glass would crack in fire but the steel framework remains in good shape. However, as it burned the vegetation that binds the soil, the fire cleared a new avenue of destruction by hasting the erosion on the cliff.

The Stahl House cracks.
Its fate is revealed in 75 years after people when it teeters precariously on it's fire blasted and rain eroded hillside and prepares to surf down the cliff face. Tanya Komas stated that the house could sit in a tilted position for some time but not for a long time because all sort of things would shift and as such the force change. After 75 years, a particular heavy downpour washes out a final section of sediment beneath the house which cause the house to tilt and splits before finally, one of the 20th century's most iconic homes, slides down the hill and shatter on the Sunset Strip below, crashing the once fabled party.
Trivia[]
- Despite the fire burning inside the house and subsequent decades of rot, some wooden furniture is still seen inside and intact (momentarily/before it falls and splinters).
