Thank you. Your comment stimulates me to make more content! I love to make the videos as insightfull as possible. Capturing every detail and give people the feeling that they are walking through the houses.
Thank you! really great to read that you like the video so much. thanks for calling me a genius, but architects like Lautner and F.L Wright's were the real geniusses... I just work hard to make the videos as compelte and detailed as possible.
One after another become my favorite Lautner house! This house is such a synthesis of Lautner genius (roof beams and glass) with strong Wright influence (stone as idealized in Falling Water). This refined restoration compliments Lautner's vision. I love this house!!!
I know what you mean: each time I think I have found my favorite design by Lautner, but then I discover a new house by him that is even more interesting. Each of his houses is brilliant in it's own way. This house belongs to my top 5 favorites by Lautner because it ( as you mentioned it) combines all the trademarks of Lautner in one house and also shows the influence by FLW. The Wolff House is comparable with this home, check also that video. th-cam.com/video/mXyXLCgRiis/w-d-xo.html
When you say, "Lautner", I think: home. That's how his designs affect me. Open spaces, and cozy nooks. Beautiful wood and stone, with interesting windows. This was another one I could move right into. :) Thanks, Jop. We appreciate you.
Thanks for your comment. Great to read that you liked the video. Yes, most houses by Lautner feel very home like. I would love to move right away in them, to live in them every day.
This is a marvelous house. The anchoring stone towers, placed at regular intervals and on a curve, give it a grounded temple-like monumentality that must be one of Lautner's greatest inventions. All his more signature forms play off of these. The renovation is both sensitive and very stylish. The new space below the pool is a nice touch. How can we see these sequestered marvels so hidden in exclusive cul-de-sacs? In the mind's eye and thanks to these videos...
It's indeed sad that these brilliant designed homes are not open for public. They are mostly hidden in cul du sacs and in gated communities. They deserve more attention and therefore I like to make these videos: to show people a look inside and show the qualities. This house remains one of my favorite John Lautner designs: a castle like house high in the hills.
Incredibly brilliant design on a most challenging site. I think Mr. Lautner outdid his mentor. Brilliant use of light and shadow! Don't care for built in furniture (a la FLW). Wonderful house to live in I suspect. Thanks for the great video.
Yes I also love this house. In some ways Lautner indeed outdid his mentor FLW, but still I think FLW is the greatest architect of all time. Nice to read that you liked the video.
Thank you. I like the improving the videos. Show people the improvements and changes of the houses. I'm gonna make a new version of the Chemosphere and the Elrod House, but first some other videos about other new homes by Lautner.
This was a wonderful job of combining your drawings and narrative with the photographs. Additionally, your commentary regarding the structural engineering elements are excellent. Thank you. Subscribed!
Thank you very much for your appriciation! I want to make the videos as complete, detailed and clear as possible. Showing every part of the house. So it really makes me happy when people conform that I succeeded in doing so. This stimulates me to make more videos, so more content will come up.
This house is so cool and beautiful. You are right that John Lautner never built the same house twice. I wondered how the castle structure would work out, whether it would seem simply cold and massive inside, but it is actually warm and comfortable looking. And the views are spectacular, and maximized by the ingenious design.
This house is a truly a John Lautner 's castle! I think many rock and flagstones can be sometimes cold from inside, but because it's built in southern California the cooling is very welcome!
Yes, this is also a great house by Lautner. You also should check out the Schaffer House by Lautner, which is another masterpiece. Next week I will upload a video about the Zahn House.
Great to hear that you like the video so much. I always wanted to make a newer version of this house, because I discovered so I many photos after I uploaded the previous video. I was indeed s lot of work but I love to do it. Tot de volgende video!
I was thinking “why block the view with those large rock turrets?” until the mention of the medieval collections of the family. Then it clicked. I really like the entrance, the location of the planters, the lower roof section, all the glass and even the columns. Very FLW without being obvious. Other nods to the master are clear.
The terrace below the pool is a nice addon. I don't know why, but throughout I kept thinking of what kind of checker pattern tile would Bob Hope place on the floor.
This house is brilliant. I can definitely see a FLW influence. Stunning. There were two different photo’s of the bathtub in the master suite and I wondered which you think would have been the original? There was an oval one and one that seemed to have what looked like chair backs on each end.
Yes, that's the problem with many old archicture masterpieces: practicality is chosen over design quality. I guess the new jacuzi is more practical but but indeed less Lautner. @@thepolitewierdo
This is the problem with many European home owners who claim their house is inspired by Wright / Lautner and such: you need a spectacular natural landscape for the house designs to pop. And getting a permit for such a house is also quite difficult in many EU countries.
''Villa Henny'' is in the Netherland's a very good example of a FLW inspired home, but it's true there are only a few FLW look a likes in Europe. Indeed due to the reasons you mention. But I think European architecture has its own charm, FLW is very American, Europe shouldn't imitate America and vice versa. Europa has a beutifull examples of organic architecture that look very different thant FLW but still are very organic.
Yes, you're right. He bought the house some two years ago and is currently the owner: he did a marvellous and expensive restoration, bringing the house back into it's full glory .
I've noticed that a toilet is near the front door and with windows facing the area in front of the entrance , in many of Lautner's homes. And also of many modern Italian houses designed by architects who were inspired by FLW first and by Lautner later. (e.g. Arch. Maurice Betta who operated in the 70-80s) Personally, I wouldn't want a detail of this type for my home.
Okay, interesting, That's a detail that I didn't notice. But now you say it, indeed some FLW and Lautner have toilets next to the frontdoor, I don't know why did they do that.
Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage. Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs
Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
I'd love to take a dip in that Schwimming pool!
So do I!
These are possibly the most insightful architecture videos on youtube!
Thank you. Your comment stimulates me to make more content! I love to make the videos as insightfull as possible. Capturing every detail and give people the feeling that they are walking through the houses.
You captured the essence of this house so beautifully revealing the texture and drame of this magnificent place. You're a genius.

Your video update is like a very tasteful renovation of a beautiful, old house: honoring the original and enhancing it at the same time! Well-done!

Glorious.
Thanks again for sharing the dramatic designs of this unique and creative architect.
Yes, this is also a great house by Lautner. You also should check out the Schaffer House by Lautner, which is another masterpiece. Next week I will upload a video about the Zahn House.
Beautiful.
One of the designs (like Sheats-Goldstein) which shows that John Lautner was a truly outstanding architect.
You're absolutely right! I also love the Sheats Goldstein House. Both show the brilliancy of Lautner in a perfect way.
This is my favorite house yet
Excellent choice, although it's hard to pick your favorite amongst Lautner's many masterpieces!
Great addition and upgrade of the first run through. Thank you. A lot of work as always. Much appreciated.
Great to hear that you like the video so much. I always wanted to make a newer version of this house, because I discovered so I many photos after I uploaded the previous video. I was indeed s lot of work but I love to do it. Tot de volgende video!
One of my favorite Lautner’s. Genius.
Great job, as usual...
Thank you! :)
A dream, thank you for sharing!
You're welcome! more videos will come up :)
Really like you video's thank you for sharing
Thanks, more videos come up soon..... stay tuned!
Love it

Yes this house is also one of my favorites. It's like a modern day castle, without being to obvious lookin like a castle.
i love this full and complete tour🙌what a marvelous themed house! thank you so much🙃
Thanks! good to hear that you liked the video so much. This stimulates me to make more content. New videos will come up soon.
Great stuff
The terrace below the pool is a nice addon. I don't know why, but throughout I kept thinking of what kind of checker pattern tile would Bob Hope place on the floor.
Haha...some kind of disco coloured pattern I think!
This house is brilliant. I can definitely see a FLW influence. Stunning. There were two different photo’s of the bathtub in the master suite and I wondered which you think would have been the original? There was an oval one and one that seemed to have what looked like chair backs on each end.
Yes, the house is a masterpiece. The Jacuzi with the chair like backs was the original one. The larger oval jacuzi is the new one, that's today.
@@SuperJobbel What a total shame! The oval one seems so generic and boring. Very UN-Lautner. I definitely prefer the original. 😊
Yes, that's the problem with many old archicture masterpieces: practicality is chosen over design quality. I guess the new jacuzi is more practical but but indeed less Lautner. @@thepolitewierdo

I believe this was recently purchased by James Jebbia the founder of Supreme.
Yes, you're right. He bought the house some two years ago and is currently the owner: he did a marvellous and expensive restoration, bringing the house back into it's full glory .
Also of interest, this house appeared on the one and only season of a reality show featuring Nick Carter of the Back Street Boys and his siblings!
@@neilnrileyWere they renting the home for that event?
@@SuperJobbel Love to hear that!
@@neilnriley Yes I heard that but I never saw an episode of it.
Wonder what the monthly electric billi is on this house
If you can buy that house, you can easily pay any bill....
I've noticed that a toilet is near the front door and with windows facing the area in front of the entrance , in many of Lautner's homes. And also of many modern Italian houses designed by architects who were inspired by FLW first and by Lautner later. (e.g. Arch.

Okay, interesting, That's a detail that I didn't notice. But now you say it, indeed some FLW and Lautner have toilets next to the frontdoor, I don't know why did they do that.
Maybe the 14 curved Frank Lloyd Wright buildings could be a series ?
Yes, that definitely could be a serie: I'm planning to make more videos about FLW houses.
Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage.
Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs
Yes, the overgangs also provide a lot of shadow.
Mooie docu
Dankjewel papa! goed om te horen dat je de docu leuk vond. :)
A toilet turret. A turrlet?
Hahaha... Good joke! :) thank you!

Very well spoken. I fully agree with you! Luckily many more get solar panels these days. I don't know if the Schwimmer house has them.
ok

The structure of the house was interesting but the furnishing sucked.
Oh... i actually really like the furnishing! but that's a matter of taste I guess, I respect your opinion.
@@SuperJobbel Well, you're entitled to your taste.!
