Iwerks, Academy Award winning, groundbreaking artistic technician, celebrated animator and iconic creative genius behind "Steamboat Willie" (Mickey Mouse) enlisted John Lautner (orig.) / James Charlton (compl.), titans of American architecture, to design his personal residence in the hills of Sherman Oaks. Hidden from public view for most of its 60+ yrs and hidden from street and largely any other home, the Iwerks House remains a powerful statement in modern architecture.
