    The document summarizes the Kings Road House built in 1921-1922 in West Hollywood, California. [1] The architect was Rudolf Schindler and it was an early example of his use of tilt-slab concrete wall construction. [2] Four-foot concrete wall panels were cast on-site and then tilted into place, forming the main structure. [3] The tilt-slab construction method combined with generous windows provided natural light and privacy for the two families living within the 200 square foot building.

    Main Structure (Tilt-slab Concrete Walls Construction)


    system used in  tilt-slab construction, in which
    details concrete walls were poured into
    molds and tilted into place on site
    after curing. The pastoral serenity of
    Wright’s Taliesin and the industrial
    efficiency of Gill’s tilt-slab concrete
    would ultimately come together in Fig.3 Construction of the Schindler Fig.4 House Construction
    the designs . House using the Slab-Tilt process
     There were four distinct phases in
    the planning process, each a logical
    development of a theme. The
    essential plan -a pinwheel- was
    established in the earliest scheme.
    Using a consistent four-foot module
    and standardized “Slab-Tilt” wall
    construction
     Four-foot tapered panels of concrete
    were cast onsite, on forms laid out Fig.5 A wall of windows and Fig.6 Lift-Slab Concrete Walls
    on the concrete floor slab. After clerestory windows
    being cured, the wall panels were
    "tilted" into place on the foundation
    and a wooden framework, attached
    together with narrow window strips.
    Wall Material  Concrete Walls.
    Windows  The window strips give some
    flexibility to the construction and
    provide natural sunlight into an
    otherwise concrete bunker. Judicial
    use of these concrete and glass
    panels, especially along the roadside Fig.7 First Floor Plan Fig.8 Second Floor Plan
    facade, provided impenetrable
    privacy for a home occupied by two
    families.
    The materials  Concrete slabs "tilted" in place;
    used Inside and Redwood; glass and canvas.
    Outside the
    building
