ICON—‘Futuro House’, Caucasus Mountains, Russia, 1968. Originally designed as a “portable ski chalet”, The ‘Futuro House’ is a iconic symbol of space age optimism. Shaped like a retro UFO, the Futuro was designed as a prefab, portable vacation home built to easily adapt to any climate or terrain, from mountain slopes to the seaside. Only 63 Futuro Houses remain in existence across the world. Could you live like this? #futurohouse #ccclassics #theculturecreative https://www.instagram.com/p/CZvMMlFpP0Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

The historic High Tower in the Hollywood Hills—a five-story private elevator built circa 1920 in the style of a Bolognese campanile. The tower provides access to a Streamline Moderne fourplex known as High Tower Court, built in 1935. Both designed by Architect Carl Kay. Perched high above the street, the tower takes its residents to an otherworldly, private hillside enclave free of cars and paparazzi. A unique architectural gem of LA’s golden era. #CarlKay #hightowerelevator #ccclassics #theculturecreative (at High Tower Drive Elevator) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZYnk9skUe/?utm_medium=tumblr
