The winter tour features the homes of three contemporary architects: Thom Mayne, Charles Ward, and Clive Wilkinson. From the construction of a private canyon to the design of a spiritual retreat, the houses by these Los Angeles-based architects provide examples of domestic experiments and creative freedom unfolding within the very personal settings of their own homelife and family. 

Each ticket goes directly to advancing the MAK Center’s mission and public activation of three R.M. Schindler landmarks: the Schindler House, Mackey Apartments, and Fitzpatrick-Leland House. For the membership discount, please email office[at]makcenter.org

Call for Docents

Spend time in an extraordinary contemporary home that is rarely open to the public. You will steward the residences during the tour and then receive one free ticket for the Architecture Tour. 

Docent responsibilities include checking tickets at the door, overseeing designated rooms, and supporting parking needs. All houses will have a MAK Center staff member to whom you will report. They will share background information on the house and care instructions from the homeowners.
