John Elgin Woolf
John Elgin Woolf (born Atlanta, 1908; died Beverly Hills, California, 1980), was an American architect noted for the Hollywood homes he created with partner and adopted son Robert Koch Woolf.
==Career==
After receiving his bachelor's degree in architecture from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1929, Mr. Woolf (known as Jack) moved to Hollywood, hoping to pursue a career in film. Hoping his Southern background might prove an asset in filming ''Gone with the Wind'', he met the film's first director, George Cukor, who was instrumental in helping Woolf meet other influential people in Hollywood who later became his clients.
In the late 1940s, Woolf met Robert Koch, an interior designer. They became partners and together built or renovated homes for many of the wealthy and famous Los Angeles area residents of the 1950s and 1960s.
They "established a new vocabulary for glamorous movie-star living; they synthesized 19th-century French, Greek Revival and Modernist touches into a heady mixture that has since been christened Hollywood Regency, which foreshadowed aspects of postmodernism."
One of their most notable renovations was Case Study House No. 17, the largest and most technology-enhanced of the Case Study Houses sponsored by ''Arts & Architecture'' magazine, designed by Craig Ellwood and originally built in 1955.〔http://en.wikiarquitectura.com/index.php?title=Hoffman_House_/_Case_Study_House_n%C2%BA_17〕 Woolf and Koch purchased the house in 1962 and transformed it from its original utilitarian design to their own more glamorous architectural style, which they used for their own residence.
