Sheats Apartments

Sheats Apartments

The Sheats Apartments, also known as L'Horizon and sometimes mistakenly as the Sheets Apartments, is a historic eight-unit, multi-family building located at 10919 Strathmore Drive, in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Designed in 1948 in a futuristic or modernistic style of architecture by noted Los Angeles architect John Lautner, it was completed in 1949 for owners Helen Taylor Sheats, a renowned artist, who assisted in the design,[2] and her professor/dean of University of California Extension husband, Paul Henry Sheats. Because of its proximity to UCLA, it was intended for and has been used primarily for student occupancy. In their book An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles, David Gebhard and Robert Winter praised its functionality by noting, "each apartment [is] completely separated from the others . . . with its own terraces, decks, and outdoor garden space." "[3][4] On June 21, 1988, the City of Los Angeles designated the building a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
