Kettal has launched a replica of the penthouse pavilion atop VDL Research House, the former Los Angeles home of modernist architect Richard Neutra. • Outdoor furniture manufacturer Kettal will begin selling the replica building, named the VDL Penthouse, alongside an open version with no glass called the VDL Pavilion, in 2020. • Kettal has created the single-storey VDL Penthouse to be a direct replica of the penthouse that tops the home Neutra built for himself in Los Angeles in 1932. • Under the supervision of Dion Neutra, Richard's son, we have used updated construction methods and materials, while respecting all of the house's original details, said the brand. • The key elements of the structure are a flat roof and plenty of natural light. The Austrian-American architect's aim was to create a living space where he could interact with nature – a characteristic typical of his designs. • The design embodies Neutra's architectural theory of biorealism, which denotes the relationship between architecture and health, said Kettal. • The structure is designed to offer a living space connected to nature • Both of the replica structures are designed to be ordered and installed in a variety of spaces, such as gardens, on rooftops or as part of existing properties. • VDL Research House underwent many transformations over the years, particularly after a fire destroyed the property in 1966. Neutra rebuilt it with his son Dion, which resulted in greater spatial complexity and a new rooftop atrium. • Learn more at kettal.com • Read more on Dezeen: http://www.dezeen.com/?p=1369803 • Subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest architecture and design movies: http://bit.ly/1tcULvh • Like Dezeen on Facebook: / dezeen • Follow Dezeen on Twitter: / dezeen • Follow us on Instagram: / dezeen • Check out our Pinterest: / dezeen
