Robert Skinner

1940–1975Mid-Century Modern, Post-and-Beam

Robert Skinner was a significant mid-century architect whose work contributed to the evolution of Southern California residential design. He was known for integrating residential structures with the challenging topography of the Hollywood Hills and surrounding areas, emphasizing indoor-outdoor flow and structural transparency. His practice favored refined, modernist aesthetics that balanced functionalism with an elegant, airy sensibility that remains a quintessential example of Los Angeles post-war architecture.
