"For his view, his conviction was this: That the architectural art to be of contemporary immediate value must be plastic; all senseless conventional rigidity must be taken out of it; it must intelligently serve-it must not suppress. In this wise the forms under his hand would grow naturally out of the needs and express them frankly, and freshly. This meant in his courageous mind that he would put to the test a formula he had evolved, through long contemplation of living things, namely that form follows function, which would mean, in practice, that architecture might again become a living art, if this formula were but adhered to."

Best of Venice and Santa Monica
Venice 90291
Johannes Van Tilburg, Architect
The best of both worlds -- bohemian Venice and Santa Monica by the sea. Aptly named the Venice Renaissance, this award-winning example of sensible urban design was conceived by Architect Johannes Van Tilburg and inspired by the 1905 Venetian arcades of Venice founder Abbott Kinney. Outside, elaborate Corinthian columns of the street-level loggia match those of the original Venice Center, sheltering Chaya Venice restaurant, a yoga studio and numerous shops on Main Street. Jonathan Borofsky's 3-story "Ballerina Clown" stands guard at the corner, a block and a half from the beach. Inside, the corner unit is filled with light and ocean breezes, an unobstructed view of Guy Dill's "Harmic Arch" sculpture, and a private sun deck facing the beach. The open floor plan includes a Kitchen, Dining Room and Living Room with fireplace, brightened by numerous windows, sliding glass doors and skylights. The clever plan of the complex, with living clusters set at 45-degree angles, creates open courtyards and pathways on a street above the street, and rooftop pools and gardens that make this complex so desirable.
