The masterpiece, with its yellow spiral staircase, his famed floor to ceiling windows and metal columns, is on the market for £3.57 million.
Koenig designed the most iconic and most photographed house in the world – Stahl House in Hollywood Hills, and became one of the most recognisable names in California modernism. The American born phenomenon helped to define Modern architecture as we know it today.
