once I saw him in Milan with two models following him and I went to say hello, he smiled at me and I immediately noticed a great ability to communicate even just through body language, this man manages to live on three levels of consciousness at the same time, not he reacts to life but lives it to the full
It hasn’t escaped my attention that this architectural masterpiece was completed over half a decade, beginning with his tight budget in the 70’s, and not all at once. Piece by piece, area by area. It’s beautiful.
@@ItaloMuniz16 Of course; I even have photos of the initial constructions somewhere. I think the house that he designed nextdoor for his daughter; is not cool as this. Te interaction with the patio is pretty solid and the house is nice but not an icon
This marvel of a home is jaw-dropping. I had my mouth open the whole time. There is so much here in this to comment on … so many details and beauty displayed here… all I can simply say is I believe this is the most beautiful, nature-synthesized, magnificent dwelling place I’ve ever seen. It’s literally paradise - inside and out. Absolutely incredible !
I've seen many videos documenting this home, but as always TLP shoots it out the park with amazing concise editing and amazing narrating and storytelling!
I appreciate it when someone has a vision and then the dogged determination and money to see their vision realised. This is a wonderful example of how great design was successfully conserved and improved. That garden!
@@TheReverb1 Yes, I watched the slow process of this happening over the many years that I worked on the property and in the original/main Lautner house for various photo/film/tv/music productions since the 1990's. It's an incredible property, but I doubt that the behemoth night club and office is one that Lautner would have approved of or signed-off on. And Goldstein was already well up into his years when he broke ground on the nightclub. I guess he's trying to preserve and or re-live his younger "glory days" of clubbing. :/ But it would be similar to seeing your grandpa or Trump or Biden at a club or rave in designer snake-skin and alligator-skin "fashion attire", snorting coke, and with their hands all over and groping your twenty-something GF. :puke: Just a bit creepy to say the least. I spoke to Jim many times while working at the house and he was always amicable and interesting to talk to. But we all knew there was something odd and dark about his eccentricism and narcissism. He is an "odd bloke" for sure, and if you look into how he made his fortune, it is quite a disgusting and repulsive story that would anger any decent human being. :(
@@bbfoto7248 Interesting point of view what you have. The good point about all that is he decided to let the house (after his death) as a museum to public view. I hope to will travel there to see it
You can't describe in words the feeling you got when you see this architecture. It's not ordinary, it's not usual as day by day concrete, glass, a bit of wood here and there homes. When I saw the video I was mesmerized, kind of magic spell deep hypnosis, seeing all the structures, the perfection between concrete, glass, wood, colors, angles, vegetation, video editing, narration, sound selections. With a vibe of 60s retro blended deep in future with minimalism and brutalist pieces this place is perfection in a world of chaos. It's simply beautiful ! Stunning work @The Local Project for this video.
Iconic Indeed. Congratulations to the Local Project. Venturing to LA to cover this seminal residence by the visionary architect John Lautner and the equally fearless of convention client/owner James Goldstein.The video coverage of this house in this post is some of the best I have seen of the residence. And a perfect time to cover it as well since Goldstein has completed the many extra additions and grounds. I have seen this spectacular place evolve over many years, so it was with great satisfaction and joy to see your superb coverage. Thanks again for all of your fine work. You are doing a service to design and the design profession as well as to the clients from which it all couldn't happen without.
Truly spectacular, inspirational, and aspirational design. I do hope that when that day comes, whoever is fortunate enough to take over this incredible property, will acknowledge, respect, and appreciate the character and uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind home.
The two rebellious J’s who carved their own path literally, and figuratively will never be forgotten; their work cemented in time. Monumental and mysterious, they stand as inspirations to us all to be an individual, to be you. Thank you James Goldstein and John Lautner. 🙏🙌👏🫡
I feel enriched when I see properties like this. Architecture that encourages and encompasses nature is very important. It’s balanced. What an amazing home.
Listening to him takes a lot of patience, but it allows me to soak in on everything that's happening in the house. His way of thinking and creativity is clearly reflected on the interior, exterior and the landscpe of the house. I don't know him, but he's cool.
I just toured this house last Saturday, got to very briefly meet Jim, and left absolutely fucking amazed. Without question THE COOLEST house I have ever been in.
Wonderful to see how proud he is of this house. Thank you for sharing his story and i hope he gets his wish. I hope it remains as beautiful as it is now
I've known about this amazzzing residence for a long time. I did not know the back story, but with Mr. Jame's narration, presented a sublime look into the architectural masterpiece. I bet this home is even more exquisite at night. Lautner, Frank Lloyd Wright were visionaries ahead of their time.
@@jlworradThe owner had to get the entire home disinfected and fumigated for all sorts of bugs after this Doja Cat guy?/girl? finished recording their video.
I had the privilege of shooting a fashion film here in 2017. At lunch I just spent the entire hour walking around the property searching for right angles 😆 An inspiring space to work in even if for a day.
What a showplace! I couldn’t feel “homey” enough in such a sprawling concrete cocoon, but to each his own! I think it’s wonderful Mr. Goldstein is leaving it to LA county as a museum. Otherwise, the likelihood of any other one person maintaining his vision for the house would be doubtful!
I had the opportunity to visit the house, trust me. It's very homey, all the concrete is mainly on the exterior, and on the new club they added, but the original house is truly beautiful, so much nature around and inside the house.
Gotta give it him, it is a fantastic house, even today in a city full of mega-mansions. Good job my man. It is awesome so congratulations on a fine job.
Have had the pleasure of visiting this home. It's fucking incredible, this video does it justice, but my god, just experiencing the home... spellbinding.
The landscaping is beautiful, the house outstanding, and the club is a brilliant idea!!!! ... This would definitely be the place I would enjoy living in. I could see the concerts / private parties more 🎉
Per a Red Bull TH-cam video, James Goldstein told them this house, he calls, "Club James" "will be donated to the LA County Museum of Art after his passing." I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most incredible story, landscape, and architecture I have ever seen. Truly ahead of its time. This was an oddly emotional piece.
totally.
he's a bad person who made his money off of the backs of everyday people. Look him up on wiki.
Can't believe how much The Local Project has grown and the insane amount of skill and passion in the videos and editing. Go big!

Wow. What a home and incredible story. The Local Project keeps getting better and better at delivering wonderful pieces.
Thank you Henry, we appreciate that!
Tearing up in the end because you can feel the love and the passion that went into this property. Incredible!
Exactly right, us too!
And lack of sympathy for all of his trailer park tenants.
This and the Chemosphere house are two of my all-time favorite architectural residential designs. So beautiful.
Add Marbrisa house. That is beyond cool

I'm bummed to see James deteriorating, but his spirit and insight are still fantastic.
Hard to imagine owning a home this iconic.
I've seen many videos documenting this home, but as always TLP shoots it out the park with amazing concise editing and amazing narrating and storytelling!
‘’I didn’t have much money when i bought it..’’ 😂 good one
He isn’t lying. He bought it for $185,000. That was a decent amount in the 70s, but not a crazy amount.
@@tracygee Imagine being 32 years old buying a property like this in the hills of LA for that amount. It was the 70s, but what an investment.
I appreciate it when someone has a vision and then the dogged determination and money to see their vision realised.
This is a wonderful example of how great design was successfully conserved and improved.
That garden!
Very well said Greco!
But the guy is a disgusting pervert friend of Epstein.
Sadly in the meantime; he torn down another Lautner s house besides (to make the night club)

Thank you for the 4K quality! I really appreciate it!
Our absolute pleasure!
Best home I've ever seen 😢
I never cease to feel very poor when I watch these videos.
poor and loser hahaha

We agree!
Each time i see a video of this masterpiece of a house i fall more in love with it
Im speechless. It deserves a standing ovation! Superb!!
This took my breath away… simply wow

a mans passion for his home and the landscape - a beautiful thing
I just toured this house last Saturday, got to very briefly meet Jim, and left absolutely fucking amazed. Without question THE COOLEST house I have ever been in.
As an Architect I must say this is a Masterpiece, even if not all details are my style. But I love the feeling of the rooms
Dear James, you have a beautiful home and the landscaping is perfect.
The most gorgeous house I ever seen with a part of a jungle landscape. You can tell the house is very much ❤️ love!
What marvelous architecture. A fabulous home..and how cool to have the owner talk about it.
Had the pleasure of being in this house for an incredible tour given by one of Mr. Goldstein's friends. The house is truly breathtaking!
An absolute masterpiece. I’ve watched this channel for nearly a year now, and this might be my favorite one yet. Amazing!
Wonderful to see how proud he is of this house. Thank you for sharing his story and i hope he gets his wish. I hope it remains as beautiful as it is now
James Goldstein donated it to LACMA, so it will be preserved! Such an incredible piece of architecture.

I will worship at the alter of this masterpiece forever. Thank you James.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us...James!
The one and only. No doubt this will be the best GR tour to-date. I can’t wait.
We hope so! Thanks Lucas.
Loved this ever since seeing it in The Big Lebowski. Really cool to see more details
I have seen the Enes video for the same. The house is just mind boggling. I am so excited to see what the Local Project is going to come up with. 😊
We’re excited to show you!
best one yet
Rare - such dedication to a man who saw everything with open eyes and a rebel who continues to keep him alive - well done✨
Holy Jesus guys!!!! This may be my favourite video in your entire page!!! I can’t believe you managed to put all that in under 9min. Wow!
wow. thanks for sharing
Hope you enjoyed!
can only imagine what kind of things happened inside that hillside building. looks soundproof
yeah.........your worst nightmeres
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing I really wanna visit here
Beautiful house. I recognize it from Doja Cat’s ‘Say So’ music video.
The landscaping of 4 acres is incredible. Beautifully done, what an oasis.
I just checked the Doja Cat vid out. It's amazing how many commenters think the house is a specially built set.
i recognize too.. ) i was interesting who also did it too....))) found your comment by word - doja cat.
@@jlworradThe owner had to get the entire home disinfected and fumigated for all sorts of bugs after this Doja Cat guy?/girl? finished recording their video.
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes What? Really? Is she an actual cat?
WOW, just WOW ❤❤
What a magnificent property, and equally magnificent man. Hats off to you. Congratulations on a job very well done.
Always a joy to see someone who "gets it", w the desire & means to make it happen! 💪🏼❤️
Just when you think it can't get cooler, along comes a James Turrell Skyspace to blow your mind!
ICONIC!! Truly a pricelesss masterpiece!!!!
Really amazing. An interesting marriage of architecture and landscape cemented by the owner’s personality and passion for good design
Every garden detail was amazing.
This is glorious, James, well done! Thank you for entrusting it to the city; I hope to see your work in person one day. remarkable, mad respect
Wow! I did not expect this. A home for the ages. Cheers Local Project!
Wishing James good health and vitality!
Love this house. Absolute masterpiece. Definitely one of Lautner's best. Would love to visit it one day
That concrete waffle vaulted ceiling is incredible and the room he was talking in 🤤 Incredible, yes I have to say it again; incredible
What an amazing house, wayyyy ahead of it's time
Beautiful home. Outside In. Loving the display of books and memorabilia. His life. His way.
Great house
The first thing I felt is a spaceship!
I had the privilege of shooting a fashion film here in 2017. At lunch I just spent the entire hour walking around the property searching for right angles 😆
An inspiring space to work in even if for a day.
I knew it as soon as i saw the living room. Thats Jackie Treehorn’s house from the big labowski.
All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.
That was a wonderful story of the most beautiful house in the world.

Just an absolutely beautiful home.. x
An unbelievably cool house for an unbelievably cool man!
Magical beautiful home gold minded
I love uia energy.. & what he has done with the place. This is an amazing house.
This vision and design is so phenomenal. Absolutely love his philosophy regarding the conservative boxes and small-mindedness.
The landscaping is beautiful, the house outstanding, and the club is a brilliant idea!!!! ... This would definitely be the place I would enjoy living in. I could see the concerts / private parties more 🎉
What a perfect home
Maybe the most inspiring piece of architecture I have ever seen in my life. I wish I was James's friend
Truly a piece of art!
wow!! just wow!!
Per a Red Bull TH-cam video, James Goldstein told them this house, he calls, "Club James" "will be donated to the LA County Museum of Art after his passing." I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Exceptionally beautiful. I would love to explore this visionary space one day.
wow the whole experience blew me away I don't know who this gentleman is but I share the mad passion
I love the architecture and landscaping of this home and can't wait to dance in Club James! Such a vibe.
The best house in the world.
i have watched this video once daily for the last week :)
Amazing.
It shows you what money married with good taste can accomplish. Fantastic, imaginative, livable.
This is something else. I want to live in something designed similarly in the future. Just a bit smaller :')
very beautiful
Spectacular! This is truly a masterpeace and inspire me so much on my journey halfway through my architect education ❤
Breathtaking!!! Amazing project, owner and video
I have watched this several times.
Love this home & the space surrounding it 🙌🏼
I love it❤
My favorite house on earth
My favorite house forever ♥️
An inspiration for sure. John Lautner designs are not boring. That is a good thing. Out of the box, with John Lautner is my credo.
This is Amazing
