Austrian architect Rudolph Schindler first worked with Aline Barnsdall on the Frank Lloyd Wright´s Hollyhock house in California. Schindler continued to work with Barnsdall, even after she had a falling-out with Wright. The Translucent house was designed to be set along a cliff-top overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Palos Verdes, California. It was never built, and has been named one of the greatest unfinished projects of the twentieth century

​

One of the house's most innovative features is the translucent plywood ceiling. This house is a complex and dramatic piece of architecture, set on a cliff top overlooking the pacific ocean, this project to plays with color, shadows, voids, but more importantly, captures light.
