Designed in 1965, the Danziger Studio and Residence is an interpretation of a cubist compound with “distinctly separate live-work areas enjoined by rising walls of stacked casement,” according to the listing. The residential portion is true to early Gehry, with an open floor plan that has two bedrooms and one bath aloft a two-story living space with a centralized courtyard.
