Case Study House No. 10 is a modernist house in Pasadena, California constructed in 1947. The house was designed by architect Kemper Nomland and his son Kemper Nomland Jr.. Although not originally part of the Case Study House program, House No. 10 replaced an originally planned (but unbuilt) example as it exemplified the project's goals of showcasing modern and low-cost building techniques. [1] [2]

Built on a sloping corner lot, the home consists of three levels of wood post and beam framing over a concrete slab and expansive glass windows. House No. 10 incorporated the existing landscape more than other Case Study designs. In another departure from other Case Study houses, was designed for a childless family, incorporating fewer buffers between living and sleeping space. A garage and studio occupy the first level, bed and guest rooms on the second, and kitchen and lounge with large sliding windows open to surrounding eucalyptus trees on the third, lowest, level. [2] [3]

An addition designed by Nomland Jr. was added to the lower level in 1968. [4] The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. [5] The home was renovated in 2013, winning a City of Pasadena Historic Preservation award in 2015. [6] Actress and comedian Kristen Wiig owned the home from 2017 to 2022 when it was sold to actress Lily Collins. [7]
