Thanks for your comment. A ''combination between coziness and grandeur'' is a very well description of this house, I like this design especially because it's so humble and more subtle than most other designs by Lautner.
Yes that's one of the greatest things that I like about Lautner: each house is different. Therefore these videos are never boring to make: every house is a new discovery.
Thank you, sometimes I translate Dutch to litteraly. In Dutch ''kunnen niet anders zijn'' which translate in English to ''can't be different...''' I didn't realise you say ''more'' between the words. @@ziraprod6090
Thank you, I want to make descriptive videos about all the houses by John Lautner. I started this channel because there was so little information available.
I love the surprise (to me) enclosed garden on the lower level. This house seems very livable and also fun (with a "fort" in the living room that reminds me of a treehouse),
Yes it's one of my favorite design by Lautner, I would live in this house. I like the small humble ''hippy like'' character of the house, I'm not into large pool houses although they are also beautifull.
You would think, but there's no privacy since there are no walls. It's a great house for one person or a very close couple. Also, the loft is insanely hot in the morning.
Lautners brilliance shows in how he enables the Wahlström hous to handle the angles from the slopes and how he plays with the floorlevels…. This creates a humane free lifestyle in the house but still with private areas… A livable house
@@SuperJobbel yes in as close contact with the creatures that shall live in it as possible with a minimum of resources spent but still as beautiful…. Lots of venustas utilitas and firmitas= the good enough Architecture from true tallent
It seems to me that Lautner relished the challenges of building on hillsides, as he made so many houses on those sites. This one is elegant and beautiful. I would love living in a house surrounded by trees. You always have the beauty of outdoors as your changing artwork. The open staircase is a little scary, but other than that, the house seems very cozy and comfortable. I love how John Lautner made these houses seem very warm and comforting.
John Lautner made so many houses on hillsides because Los Angeles is surrounded by hills (nearly all Lautner designs are located in and around LA). Also John Lautner had the reputation of being a genius who could design houses on difficult almost impossible locations, therefore people with the most hard to built locations came to him. Floating houses built against hillsides was somewhat of his specialism. Together with the Schaffer House, the Wallstrom house belongs to my favorite houses by Lautner: because it are his most humble! not so luxurious as his other later homes.
Excellent job Jop, keep on Love JL, this house is beautiful love all timber ... the man was always looking for the impossible, took FLLW organic movement to the extreme, rather than the standarised Usonian of FLLW, HE IMPROVES HIS MASTER
Thank you! Yes, John Lautner devolped the style and concept by F.L Wright and went further with it. Both are brilliant architects. John Lautner pushed the boundaries of construction even further.
Wow! This is really beautiful! However, he doesn't need the timber panels for privacy. There's nothing around it. Full glass would be absolutely incredible!
In fact the house is located in suburbian area with neighbouring houses on both sides: so in fact it does need panels for privacy. Although on most photos it does indeed look isolated.
Yes Lautner and Wright are also my favorite architects. I hope that someone will rebuild the demolished Concannon house some day, there are also some unrealized plans by Lautner. At this very moment one of these plans is actually being build: "The Harpel Guest House" is currently under construction.
Hey, thank you for your appriciation of my videos. Well in just a week I will upload a video about FLW's Fallingwater . After this video I will continue my serie of John Lautner homes and after that a serie of videos about FLW designs will come. I was busy with my job and personal life, so therefore I hadn't uploaded any content in 4 months. Please stay tuned and you will see a lot of new architecture videos!
the channel starts again with a new series of videos. The first video about Fallingwater by F.L Wright is available now th-cam.com/video/2CjANCkhfHI/w-d-xo.html Many more videos about Lautner and Wright will come up in a few months .
I think this house is in Hollywood Hills as well as the sheaths house, is it not? We visited this house as well..... It was very artistic - as the owners. I believe they were graphic designers...I think there is a beautiful spacious feel when yiu step in the house - not humble - as you keep saying. The teak color gives warmth - the high ceilings give that luxurious ambiance. I limed this house more than the house that Gldstein demolished.
It is in Santa Monica which is close to Hollywood. Yes, it's an amazing house, with ''humble'' I mean that it is not full of luxury items like a swimming pool, large fireplace and design furniture (This house hasn't any of that) .
Thank you for posting Lautner lecture videos, each of which are very enlightening. Watching your videos, John Lautner strikes me as: 1) a sloping hillside specialist and 2) a structure experimentalist. Particularly this one. Two wooden diagonal beams anchored into earth? Don't they rot over the years? It looks very precarious to me. I prefer Lautner's earlier efforts and like the Tyler house best so far, by the way.
You're welcome! I love to make these videos. To answer your question: the wooden beams are cemented in concrete all the way in the ground, so they cannot rot. (allthough on the drawings it look like the concrete foundations are not all the way in the ground) 1= Yes, Lautner was a hillside specialist but this was also caused by the landscape of Los Angeles which is surrounded by hills everywhere. However Lautner also designed a lot of houses on flat ground. 2= Good choice that the Tyler house is your favorite. My personal favorite is the Wolff House, but Tyler House comes close to my second choice. I also love the 1st Harpel House and Sheats Goldstein.
Like all of Lautner's works, so much going on playing with space and light. Do the stairs up to the study/balcony above the bathroom/book cases have any railing? Or does one somehow hold on to the window frames or lean against them as you climb them? Have never understood how this detail would have passed building inspection (unless there was some sort of temporary or "fake" railing that was removed after the final!)...
The stair don't have any hand guards or railings. This makes the house very transparant, indeed the stairs area a little bit unsafe ut you can hold your hands to the windowframes of leand against the glass. I don't know how they pass building inspections..... Anyway I think this house is a true masterpiece and one of my favorite designs by Lautner. It's still to little known, it deserves more fame.
Error. The massive front corner columns are equal height. The floor plan is trapezoidal at the rear which creates the non perpendicular lower rear eave line. Notice the ceiling rafters fan out subtly to remain parallel to the eaves internally. They compress over the entry creating false perspective there. Subtle & so poetic. Also the main diagonal facade bracing beams I suspect also function as hangers transferring the floor loads back to the corner pillars thus reducing footing points. Genius!
I really love the works by Rudolf Schindler. The wolfe house looks a both like the Walstrom, both built against a hillside. Someday i'm gonna make videos about his houses, but first i'm gonna finish the series of videos about all the important houses by Lautner.
No he worked with different contractors. But he had some builders who helped on many of his projects. John de La Vaux was one of his most frequent collaborators.
Honestly: no..... I have no idea what that might be, I gues it's some kind of ventalation or aircondition instrument. Otherwise it could be also a lamp. Hope some viewer know what it is!
A sloping site is a great gift to a creative architect.
True but a architect needs to be very creative to built a great home on a slope, it's a true challenge.
Spectacular. The combination of coziness and grandeur.
Thanks for your comment. A ''combination between coziness and grandeur'' is a very well description of this house, I like this design especially because it's so humble and more subtle than most other designs by Lautner.
Cannot grow tired of John Lautner creations or how he developed over time. Never boring is a proper direction. Thank you

@@SuperJobbel 'couldn't be MORE different.'
Oh! oops! yes you're right, that was a language mistake of my. Thank you! @@ziraprod6090 I keep on struggling with the English language sometimes.
@@SuperJobbel The accent is part of the reason I keep returning to these - and I wanted to be an architect.

Thank you for bringing these amazing structures to us to marvel at!!!
Thank you, I want to make descriptive videos about all the houses by John Lautner. I started this channel because there was so little information available.
This gorgeous jewelbox is a little masterpiece!
Absolutely! It's also one of my favorites by John Lautner.
So in love with that pathway, and the bookcase clad toilet
Yes, this house is also one of my favorites, it's less luxurious than other houses by Lautner and I like the more plain and humble atmosphere.
I love the surprise (to me) enclosed garden on the lower level. This house seems very livable and also fun (with a "fort" in the living room that reminds me of a treehouse),

This prismatic masterpiece is Lautner at his peak. The exterior is a joy to look at.
Yes, I agree with you, I think it's one of his best designs. To bad it's so little known.
I love this house... masterpiece

Lovely space. Compact yet spacious! Thanks for sharing!

Marvellous home! I'm loving it!❤
I love this house too, it's underestemated design by Lautner, little known, but still one of my favorites.

In fact the house is located in suburbian area with neighbouring houses on both sides: so in fact it does need panels for privacy. Although on most photos it does indeed look isolated.
Stunning! FLW is my absolute favorite architect, with Lautner a close second. I wish one could buy and build any of these home plans today.
Yes Lautner and Wright are also my favorite architects. I hope that someone will rebuild the demolished Concannon house some day, there are also some unrealized plans by Lautner. At this very moment one of these plans is actually being build: "The Harpel Guest House" is currently under construction.
I can't NOT watch this guys videos. They are the best ever. I just wish he did other famous architects, ie. FLW

so amazing. i wish we have architects that still design like him!
Yes, unfortunately there are not many archtiects who design like him.
Bravo! Beautiful! Homages! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ JAR
You're Welcome!
He was an engineering genius, who just happened to be a fabulous designer
Absolutely true!

Excellent review once again. Lautner’s variation between his projects is outstanding - cheers from Brisbane
Thank you, I love to make these reviews and that people appriciate them makes me happy. More videos will come up, about all houses by Lautner.
Cheers from the Netherlands!
As always - great job! Very interesting to see all quirks and features. Thanks a lot!
Thank you! You're welcome :)
Like them all

Okay interesting! You know more about the house than I do. Great to read this extra information.
You never got to the master bedroom!
Yes, unfortunately there were no photos of the bedroom available. Probably something to do with privacy.
@John Lautner Architecture Videos Please do Schindler’s Ralph Walker & Wolfe houses
I really love the works by Rudolf Schindler. The wolfe house looks a both like the Walstrom, both built against a hillside. Someday i'm gonna make videos about his houses, but first i'm gonna finish the series of videos about all the important houses by Lautner.
@@SuperJobbel Can I have the Stevens and Walstrom house plan drawings please?
@@wm.h.9123 Yes, I will send them to you this evening ! I already saw your email but I was very busy and I forgot to send them.
@@wm.h.9123 I just mailed you the drawings.
I wondering if JL used the same builder for all Of his project?
No he worked with different contractors. But he had some builders who helped on many of his projects. John de La Vaux was one of his most frequent collaborators.
hi do you have the measurements of the walstrom House?
Yes, I have them. What's your email adress than I can show you the original drawings with exact measurements.
That must be a pain in the as to maintain
I don't know exactly how expensive to maintain, but indeed window cleaning is difficult with this house. Gelmibson is a great name btw :)
Yes, the outside wood needs maintenance every few years.
I have a question, Does anyone have an idea what this is in ceiling? (6:38 , 6:25)
Honestly: no..... I have no idea what that might be, I gues it's some kind of ventalation or aircondition instrument. Otherwise it could be also a lamp. Hope some viewer know what it is!
Warehouse heaters. They were the only heaters powerful enough for the house. There is no HVAC upstairs.
