Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger
Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger are facing criticism for their latest real estate venture. The Guardians of the Galaxy star and children’s book author are receiving backlash after it was revealed that they plan to demolish an architecturally historic Los Angeles home they purchased less than a year ago, according to permit reports obtained by Dirt.
The home, named the Zimmerman House, was bought off-market by Chris and Katherine in early 2023 for $12.5 million. Shortly after, the couple, who share kids Lyla Marie and Eloise Christina, submitted a proposal to tear down the property and begin construction on a new home.
The new build is reportedly a complete overhaul of the original structure, which was originally a one-story mid-century building. The documents show that the home will be designed by L.A. architect Ken Ungar, best known for his modern farmhouse style, and features two stories with a backyard swimming pool and pool house.
Chris Pratt And Katherine Schwarzenegger’s Demolition Plans Spark Outrage
According to the Dirt report, many preservationists and architecture enthusiasts are expressing their anger on social media over Chris and Katherine’s construction plans. As for what makes the Zimmerman House so historic, the Los Angeles Conservancy further explains the significance of its architecture after learning of Chris and Katherine’s proposal to tear it down in early 2023.
The Conservancy writes in a January 2023 Instagram post, “Designed by Emil Bexxy and working with architect Craig Elwood’s office, Bexxy created a one-story, nearly 3,000-square-foot residence that appears to be highly intact and a noteworthy example of modernist design from this era.”
E! News has reached out to Chris and Katherine’s representatives for comment but has not yet received a response.
