Built in 1960, the Elsa and Robert Sale Residence is one of Richard Neutra’s lesser-known projects and is a time capsule of modernist design. Floor-to-ceiling windows, wood panelling and built-in cabinetry are retained throughout, though the Brentwood pad will need some modernising. Get a closer look.
