Built in 1960 at 7776 Torreyson Drive in West Hollywood (in the hills overlooking Studio City and just off Mulholland Drive), The Chemosphere was designed by architect John Lautner. The Chemosphere House designed by the architect John Lautner for Nouard Gootgeld. An excellent example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture, Gamble House was designed in 1908 by Charles and Henry Greene for David and Mary Gamble (Procter and Gamble). Funded by the Disney family to honor Walt Disney and designed by architect Frank Gehry, it's one of the most dramatic sights in downtown Los Angeles. Sinuous shapes in shiny metal lend themselves to interpretations ranging from blooming flower to a sailing ship, but ultimately, it's up to the viewer. What the major players can’t do is create the kind of bigbodied and eclectic beers that Markowski specializes in, which are served in the restaurant out in Southampton and poured with pride here at top restaurants like Gramercy Tavern and Craft, as well as beer geek hangouts like D.B.A. and the Blind Tiger Ale House.

In the early 1990s, it was expanded in what renovation architect Norman Pfeiffer called "Modernist/Beaux Arts style." In 1996 he joined forces with Don Sullivan, a gregarious restaurateur who was opening the Southampton Publick House with his brother in a historic building in the tony East End town. Sullivan had been doing back-of-house design for several Manhattan brewpubs—which were having a bit of a heyday in the early ’90s—and saw the business potential. “I have respect for Coors Light” is not the sort of statement you would expect from one of the most respected craft brewers in the country. But Phil Markowski, the soft-spoken man behind the award-winning beers at Southampton Publick House on Long Island, believes in giving credit where it’s due.

The building was designed by architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro. It sits just across the street from the Disney Hall and designed to both contrast with the Disney Hall's perforated metal exterior and respect its presence. From the early Twentieth Century through today, the world's most famous and influential architects have created amazing buildings, homes and structures in LA and Southern California. These are just a few of the most beautiful - and unusual places you can see on your personal architecture tour.
Southampton Publick House
Markowski got acquainted with good beer at college in the ’80s, when interesting beer was hard to find. “I started drinking imports and became aware that beer could have a more complex, deeper flavor than what I was used to.” He also started hanging out with some home brewers—while working as an electrical engineer after graduation, one of his colleagues was “this English guy who homebrewed and talked about it like it was a common thing to do”—and was inspired to try it himself. Its minimalist style and linear design elements connect with the grid of Los Angeles streets which can be seen from the windows. One of Frank Lloyd Wright's most important designs, it's built of textile blocks in the style of a Mayan temple. Partly designed by John and Donald B. Parkinson, it was the last great railway station to be built and not the grandest, but it's been in so many films that we all recognize it when we see it.
While all the beers served at the Publick House are still brewed on-site, rising demand has led to contract brewing too. “The winter was very slow,” allows Markowski, “but trends of the last few years have shown that even as the traditional beer industry remains stagnant, craft beer is growing. There’s a whole new broader audience for local breweries.” He notes that several of his limited-edition brews have been auctioned off for a pretty penny on eBay. “These beers have at least a five-year shelf life and, like wine, will age and change in the bottle,” explains Markowski, adding, “I get frustrated with the down-market perception of beer as compared to wine.” But beverage directors at some of the city’s finest restaurant serve Markowski’s beers like they would a wine.

At Apiary in the East Village beverage director Ron Didner likes “the artisanal aspect” of Southampton beers and considers the Double White a natural complement to the restaurant’s seasonal cuisine, like the skate served over smoked bacon and razor clam chowder and the Thai-accented squid salad, which pair well with the beer’s herbal aspects. Designed by architect Richard Meier, this complex occupies an entire hilltop just off fabled Sunset Blvd. We think it's one of the greatest outdoor spaces in Southern California, with the architecture eclipsing the collection it houses. Architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue designed it to in the style of ancient Egypt.
Sullivan and his two brothers, along with a partner, opened the Publick House in 1996, and quickly became known for the restaurant’s craft beers, reliable dining and continuous community involvement. Sullivan has been the sole owner for more than a decade while creating his own history, and had attempted to purchase the space numerous times over the years but to no avail.Over the years Southampton Publick House has received numerous awards and honors for its craft brewing, and was named Top Brew Pub by Beer Advocate Magazine in 2003. Sullivan has increased the brand from not only Long Island and New York City, but has grown to national distribution in 2005 and it’s sold in more than a dozen states throughout the country. With this new move, Sullivan intends to increase the brewing capacity, and thus the production of various beers for further commercial distribution.The restaurant will still offer good food for a reasonable price, and the new location will continue to be a venue for community oriented special events as well. But while he may be known for his more out-there creations, he’s also wary of what he calls the “side-show aspect” of craft brewing, in which alcohol content is ever increasing and ingredients can get odd in an endless effort to ratchet things up. He gravitates towards session beers whose 4–5 percent alcohol content makes them easy to settle in with for a night of drinking.

Lisa McLaughlin writes about food, drink and cultural trends for TIME magazine when she isn’t busy trying to figure out how to grow hops on her windowsill. Initially a temporary structure designed by Lloyd Wright, the nested quarter-spheres form a fitting backdrop for the caliber of artists who perform on its stage.
“What I enjoy most” he says, “is coming up with recipes for traditional styles, butwith my own modern twist.” The signature Southampton Double White is an amped-up version of a Belgian witbier redolent with malt, orange and coriander. His flagship brew is the copper-hued Secret Ale, a style of Belgian farmhouse–inspired Alt beer that isn’t widely available in the United States. “From the beginning we had people coming in, saying ‘I love this, how can I get it, how can I serve it in my place? Waterfront’s Barbieri was such an early supporter that before Sullivan had a distribution deal for New York City, Barbieri would drive out to the brewery in an employee’s truck to stock up on porters and ales to serve at his dark, cozy bar.
