Dion Neutra was born in Los Angeles on October 8, 1926 - the year the Neutra practice was formed by his famed architect father Richard Neutra, who had emigrated to the US in the early 20s, ending up in LA.
Richard Neutra, a Viennese émigré who came to the United States in 1923 to work with Frank Lloyd Wright, arrived in Los Angeles in 1925, the year before his son was born, and began building. Together, Richard and Dion Neutra exerted their influence upon the built environment and visual aesthetics of Los Angeles for nearly a century.
