Thank you. That is the most comprehensive set of photos of the Eames' House that I have seen. Lots of spaces that are new to me - AND of course, showing it is almost a Beach House comes as a surprise.
Yes, I was also surprised that it was so close to the beach and so close to populated area. I like to share these surprises and discoveries with an audience: that's why I make these videos.
Thank you for this wonderful video. In 1997 my husbanded I bought a 1967 pattern book MCM, raised our family there and restored it over 24 years. When we downsized in 2021 we sold it and built a new house in western Massachusetts in the foothills of the Berkshires. We worked with a fantastic local architect. As I sit in my new house watching this video I easily see the legacy of Charles and Ray Eames in our design.
Sounds like a great home. Ray & Charles Eames had a huge influence on architecture. Today many housesare inspired by Eames and by the CaseStudy Movement.
The Eames house and studio is a microcosm of the Eames universe. What's amazing is that what we see and appreciate today is as fresh as ever and remains an inspiration for people who want design to inform life and life to inform design -- a compendium of brilliant aesthetic choices and ideas. Even the exterior arrangements of metal framed glass and colored panels are masterpieces of abstract form. This is a real pilgrimage site. p.s., the Case Study Houses are a great topic for videos. Thanks!
I actually prefer the second design, and noticed right away that familiar Mondrian-like pattern. My husband and I could definitely make good use of that studio. 😄The clean, clear lines and open spaces, along with the landscaping, make it a very comfortable, relaxing space. $17,000, lol, I love those old prices. Thanks for bringing us into this home. I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I think the second design was indeed better, more comfortable and having an open meadow in the front. I also like to make paintings so I can use the studio as well. but Great to read that you enjoyed the video, more videos about John Lautner, case study houses and Frank Lloyd Wright coming up!
It feels so different from Lautner's designs, and yet it still embraces a real, organic quality, like Lautner's houses do. You can practically feel that the architect was orientating his entire design around the perspective of the future inhabitants, creating a "living space" in a double sense. A space where people can live, and also a space that seems to be alive and warm even on its own. Thank you, Jop!
You're welcome! I love these houses and showing their beauty in videos. All your positive reactions stimulate me to make more videos. So more content coming up!
Jop Cornelis has got to be the world's best expositor of Mid-Century American Architecture. To me, Jop's voice is synonymous with the movement. Eames House & Studio comes to life under Jop's curatorship, and I for one felt I like I now knew the Eames personally. I ever I am so lucky as to get to visit, Jop's voice will guide my ruminations as I meander through this iconic artscape.
Haha...wow thank you! I feel really flattered by your comment. I feel honered that you call me the best expositor of MCM architecture. My voice is just my voice and I just do what I like to do: showing people the beauty of these houses. I started already years ago with collecting the photos and drawings of the houses, just as a hobby. But so many positive reactions stimulate me to go on and on, so more videos come up!! Till the next episode my friend!
Dankjewel voor je reactie! Leuk dat je iets in het Nederlands schrijft. Mijn doel is om met deze videos mijn passie voor architectuur met andere te delen, dus als je schrijft ''dat je met iedere video meer van architectuur gaat houden'' geeft me dat het gevoel dat het doel behaald is. Ik vond ook dat er te weinig aandacht was voor deze huizen en ik had de foto's/tekeningen al lang verzameld, daarom ben ik begonnen er videos van te maken. Ik ga eerst alle videos van John Lautner behandelen (nog 5 te gaan) , tussendoor een aantal Case Study Huizen en daarna de werken van F.L Wright. Misschien daarna een reeks over Nederlandse architectuur. Dus er komt nog heel wat aan? Doe je zelf ook iets met architectuur?
@@SuperJobbel Mooi goed om te horen, ik kijk uit naar de komende videos! Ik waardeer deze videos ontzettend omdat het, zoals je zelf ook gezegt hebt, soms echt super moeilijk is om met wat er online staat een goed beeld van een huis te krijgen. Dit probleem had ik een paar dagen terug ook met borghei cookston van ray kappe. Ik studeer zelf productontwerp, maar ik wil mezelf in meer stromingen van ontwerp verdiepen om op mijn eigen werk te kunnen toepassen. Architectuur is nu de voornaamste waar ik mee bezig ben. Ik ben hiermee begonnen vanwege mijn vader, die zelf ook architect is. Toen ik het had over de case study houses die ik van jouw videos had gezien zei hij dat wij een copy van het originele boek thuis hebben. Het is een dikke maar ik zal hem zeker gaan lezen.
Fantastic! It's almost as if you were there yourself. Finally, “Beautiful Details” has a stage in my imagination, and my heroes have a home. Just a small correction: most of the famous Eames furniture was not created in this studio, but in the famous Eames Office at 901 Washington Avenue, Venice. The huge 901 on the façade has become iconic and is a kind of code among Eames fans. At times, dozens of people worked there under the direction of Ray and Charles.
Jop, thank you for this great video. I love this house. It's like a perfect marriage of International Style and Organic Style, with the Mondrian look as a bonus. It's thoroughly modern and transparent, way ahead of its time, yet also looks very cozy and friendly as a machine for living. Every detail is ingenious and lovely.
''a perfect marriage of International Style and Organic Style, with the Mondrian look as a bonus'' haha that's a very good way to describe the house. ''A friendly machine to live'''is also a good description, illustrating the industrial character of the house. I also really like this house but the houses by Lautner are still my favorite however. The next 3 videos will be about CaseStudyHouses but after that I return to some of the Lautner houses.
@@SuperJobbel That's awesome. I was hoping you would do more videos on the Case Study Houses. I enjoyed the Stahl House and the other Pierre Koenig house, I mean the Case Study #1?
@@madamemarmot Yes Stahl house is #22 and Bailey House is #21. Currently I'm busy with a video about #9 The Entenza House. Although Lautner and Wright are my favorite architects, I love the Case Study Houses in 2nd place.
Once again thanks for your videos. They never disappoint. The simplicity and functionality of this house for the time was built make it a wonderful building but no so much ingenius like Lautner ones. Looking for a video of Ray Kappe home made by you.... should be wonderfull
Great that you like my videos! Yes the Case Study houses are brilliant in their simplicity but Lautner is always more creative, more interesting, more exciting. I definitely gonna makevideos about Ray Kappe some day, but first videos about all Lautner designs, Frank Lloyd Wright and Case Study Houses. But believe it will come... I promise!
Thank you for another great walkthrough video. I didn't know the Eames house is so close to the ocean and scales fell from my eyes. This house has many elements I want to steal for my dream house project but selecting a similarly great site is near impossible. It's near the city, in the woods and on the ocean, how can a housing site be more perfect?
Yes, it's a perfect site, but on every photo it looks isolated deep in the forest. This house is not expensive to built, so you can design a ''look alike'' home for yourself. It's not allowed to entirely copy it, because it's copyright protected. So go ahead and create your dreamhouse!
Thank you once again for your much researched channel. Well done indeed. The house although advanced, misses the sophistication of many of the other Case study homes. I think that’s not really in doubt. Such criticism doesn’t take anything away from the influence that they both had on design of course. They certainly left their impression. 🎉
Thanks for your reaction. I think this house is more straightforward than most CSH designs: just a rectuliniar box. CSH 21 and CSH 22 have a more interesting lay-out, i think. But the use of color, double volume livingroom with mezzanine and placing on the beautiful location make it perhaps the most comfortable of all CSH designs. The house has an important place in history due to it's prefab construction, which revolotuinary for it's time & the fames people who lived in the house. Great that you liked the video I'm gonna make more videos about the other CSH designs, but lots of videos about still John Lautner coming up. So stay tuned!
I love to take place on my Børge Mogensen 2292 Coupé Sofa by Fredericia and hear “My dear audience…….” This time it would be nicer and more stylish to sit on a Eames Lounge Chair watching this fine video. Living in Europe I am always wondering about the missing insulation of the steel roof. My garage has also a steel roof and on a sunny day it gets very hot underneath. So with air conditioning you should have high energy costs to have a moderate temperature beneath this “naked” steel roof. But energy cost were very low in the 60th. Also it is very, very noisy below such a steel roof during a heavy rain…. But perhaps it’s true that it never rains in California……Have you ever been under this type of roof when it was raining cats and dogs ?
Price and constructability were important cornerstones of this movement. Would you please include the price in today's dollar as well as what aspects of construction were notable and whether we have improved on them?
Yes, I saw that real estate advertisement as well. Thank you! It's a nice guest house, but I don't think I will ever make a video about it, because it's a very small design and it's not one of Lautner's best, also it's part of a large home which is not designed by Lautner, at the moment I'm busy with making a video of the Segel House by Lautner. Also preparing some videos about other Case Studi Houses.
It's heated by an underfloor heating system, but due to the hot Californian climate it's not necessary to be heated a lot. It's cooled by air condition.
I have love the Eames' work primarily because of their wonderful short film The Powers of Ten (th-cam.com/video/0fKBhvDjuy0/w-d-xo.html) which blew me away in my freshman physics class.
I never saw the movie ''Powers of Ten'' but I clicked the youtube link, really great interesting film. Thank you! Beautifull special effects especially for a film from 1977. This is what I liek so much about internet: meeting and sharing our knowledge of great artworks together.
