The apartment signs of L.A. announce location through flair, decadence, strangeness, absurdity, signification. When you see an otherwise unremarkable name affixed to a building in your neighborhood, you know — probably to the exact number of paces or miles, if you counted — how much further your intended destination is. That’s the thing about L.A. apartment signs — they point you toward where you need to be: home.

It’s no wonder that architect and developer Bruce Redman Becker is a fan of Marcel Breuer: Becker grew up with a furniture designer mother and an industrial designer father in New Canaan, Connecticut, which holds a trove of postwar homes designed by the likes of Breuer, Philip Johnson, and Eliot Noyes.
