Dora makes architecture sound like poetry, and Eric’s endearing comments about his family and his dedication to capturing the essence of the original architect made me watch this twice with captions on.
Put up a thumbnail of a mid century house, I’ll watch it. Add a 911 to the thumbnail, I’ll definitely watch. Make the 911 a RS, I’ll be watching the timer run down to the release time!
Ha! It drives me crazy!!!! Everything else is such perfection. I thought i would scroll down the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it before i dove in....didn't need to scroll far :)
This one is impeccable, as one would expect from a Neutra. The taste level of the owners is off the charts. I love hiw they aren't pretentious about it, either. ... and yet another Porsche! That long hood 911 is perfect with this house! This one is top tier subject matter. It doesn't get much more perfect than a Neutra.
This series just keeps getting better and better. I so look forward to how each home and homeowner's story is portrayed. The cinematography, music, lighting is so wonderfully done. You really give the viewer a sense of what the space feels like. Thank you Elias, Mick, and team for sharing your passion project with all us architecture aficionados and documenting these important residences. Bravo Dora and Erik! What an amazing restoration! So happy you found this very special home and it found you!
Stunning home. Post and beam architecture is sublime. Regrettably moved out of an Eichler (designed by Anschen and Allen) four years ago, such a mistake, trying to get back into one presently.
I grew up in old New England colonials; and here we are with c. 1800 Windsor chairs in a scruffy W. Van post & beam. Not leaving this one. There is something about this place. Fragrance? Light? Intrigue? Indoor/outdoor. Hold out till you find your place. th-cam.com/video/FgbNjwbaTdM/w-d-xo.html
If I was independently wealthy, I would do what these architects did. I would purchase important architectural structures and lovingly restore them. Architecture has been a life-long passion, and I studied it at USC for a couple of years so this story is near and dear to my heart. Mies van de Rohe, Schindler, Neutra, and even the work done by FLW in Los Angeles are some of my favorites of the 20th century.
First off, thank you both for sharing one of your passions. The open feeling was truly something. I was really impressed by the contrast that the evening lighting about the house. such a clean design. Second, you're saving this home and keeping it in the essence of its true design. What a thrill to have the prints along with the house. CHEERS
@@marjoriecohn3868 Palm springs is MCM Heaven. That's an exception, not the rule. There are neighborhoods FULL of MCM homes there and people there GET it. Not so much in other places outside of CA. I had a gorgeous MCM home in WA and it was next to impossible to sell because the people there are so backward.
beautiful home! glad they kept so many original features and respected the designer, but the landscaping looks sad! gravel and a couple small plants? this house deserved a richer, lusher, tropical landscape!
Glad I found this channel! As a young guy who dreams to build his home in the future, this gives me inspiration, thank you. (Edit, the car is sick as hell too)
Very sad that the Maslon House, in Rancho Mirage, California,( a city with limited preservation understading), designed and built circa 1963, was torn-down in 2002 by people who claimed they were going to protect it. The Maslon House, perfectly preserved by its original, sophisticated art-collecting owners, had so much of the Lord House vibe, and elegance. Sadly many Neutra homes, sitting on uber-prime lots, don't meet the mega-McNansion needs of some people and continue to be an endangered species of architecture.
Unfortunately, that's the reality of selling a house. Sellers well to the first person who makes them an acceptable offer, whether that person gets MCM or not. All it takes is one buyer in a chain of ownership to destroy a work of art. A way to protect a home is to get it on a city register, where changes have to be approved. Such restrictions will limit the buyer pool, however and therefore usually harm it's value. Contrary to popular belief, getting a home listed on the National Register does not protect it from an owner destroying it in any way.
I think Rand's Northridge-area home was originally built for film director Josef Von Sternberg, he discovered Marlene Dietrich. It featured an extra large garage space for his Rolls-Royce!
Beautiful structure which they've lovingly restored and made their home. Well done. Though it's a little ironic to talk about the importance of connecting and interacting with people and not close yourself off when you live on the top of an actual mountain. However, I can relate to the importance of the sentiment.
Been in a couple of Neutra houses, incl VDL 2. I had lunch with Raymond Neutra decades ago, who worked at the time for the L.A. County Dept of Health. He refused to be an architect, unlike his brother. I've been in a number of Lautner houses, too; Lautner was a student under FL Wright. Neutra designs are very mid century middle class. His design approach was very different from his contemporaries in L.A. You did a marvelous restoration here. I am curious the condition you found it in.
Brilliant house and location, (gotta ask, who's grandmother decided to add the ridiculous mermaid statue next to the pool... no doubt there is a collection of painted gnomes in the front garden too.)
Great video, super beautiful house but im about to come over and hang all those art works you guys have on the floor lol. What with all the artwork on the floors?
I get it, moving from Singapore to mid-west US, we bought a starter home becoz we couldn’t think about living in large sprawling homes. It’s alien. 😂 and the cleaning !!!
couldn't understand a word the man said, bit of a thick accent but i like where he's coming from, where they're both coming from....that's one cool jetson's era crib. nice
beautiful, important question - arent you worried people would be stalking you, more prone to thieves / lack of privacy especially having a transparent approach through the front door ?

@@kgb4187 my imagination only, if actually they had'nt have child 😅, who's shilouette playing the piano
He pulled up in an RS, could be a clone/tribute, but I'm guessing with the ability to purchase this home it's a genuine RS.

The love for Neutra's mind. It is extraordinary. Extraordinary.

Haha glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly The same thought as I clicked on the video haha
Me three!
Not that awesome

Stunning house and short film, excellent production.
Many thanks!
Aside feom the horrible fountain in the garden, this house is a paradise!
If they took out the top part and left the bowl structure of the bottom part it would flow better.
Ha! It drives me crazy!!!! Everything else is such perfection. I thought i would scroll down the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it before i dove in....didn't need to scroll far :)

This house is so beautiful. This is how I imagined my future home to be.
Hopefully this beauty still exists 😢
Such a wonderful architectural design, the simple elegant lines of the house are timeless.
It really is!
beautiful home and restoration/ update. nice Porsche ! Thank you again Open Space team for another great episode.
Our pleasure!
Wow ❤ This One So Beautiful House and Great Views .
I Can Sure Daydream about Living here
Thank You I Your Work Great
Job I have would Keep Profile
In my TH-cam channel .

Stunning. What I wouldn't do to live there... Thanks for including the nighttime views. As a lighting fanatic, I love seeing this!
Beautiful entrance and kitchen. 😍

Wonderful house and a very tasteful refurbishing - with one exception: the white statue at the pool 🙈
Agree
My first thought, literally. The water fountain comes second.
Love Neutra´s work!...is unique sense of simplicity, elegant and open to outside spaces. great!
Beautiful restoration, and still very livable for this family.
Absolutely!
This house is magical!
Amazing home, wish we had a complete tour of the property. Very simple, and beautiful. Love the car, looks like a restomod and very nice. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
i cant get enough of this house! beautiful
Geeeeeshuz. Another amazing story. Great work
Thanks again!
Oh.. I LOVE this house! Beautifully thought-out minimalism.
Literally magical.
Yes!
This is so beautiful 🥺 the exterior and outdoor area of the house are so attractive

Glad you like it!
the transition to the night shots was amazing
Amazing Dora And Erik, Fantastic
Wow, those windows!! 😍
A beautiful property altogether!
I really like the ideas they put forward: a house for living in and sharing. It sounds basic but it's forgotten sometimes.
Yet another channel from which @dwell could learn a thing or two. Excellent work, Elias and Mick.
Thank you!!
Wonderful house, stunning 911. What else? Great video, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful. Reminds me of Twin Palms
Not a Kreisal house.
Just beautiful and perfect renovated
Oddly, I like the front exterior and outdoor area leading up to the front door over the entire interior of the actual home itself.
Quite a bit like the street facade of Mies' Villa Tugendhat
@@kennethbarber438 I agree with you. Speaking of Mies van der Rohe his Farnsworth house is my favorite along with his Barcelona chair.
Chill furnishings going on in this one
Beautiful house.
Stunning !
Thank you!
more Porsche shots!! haha never enough.. beautiful home. beautiful life. well done
Absolutely beautiful home!!!!!
We agree!
That's a gem of a house. It's a terrible shame that MCM never caught on with the masses. Most people still want to live in the 1700's.
Mid Century Modern is the most sought after style in Palm Springs and a good part of the Coachella Valley.

Thank you! Will do!
Amazing family and house 🖤
Amazing, love it 😊

Not a good idea in drought country. Plus, it would cover up too much of the house.

So true. Ayn Rand's Neutra home in the valley was demolished to make room for cardboard condos.

My dream home!
Big Neutra fan here. Live the structure, but regarding the decor, I need much more textile/fabric around me. I need warm colors too.
Would have loved to see the camera follow the car into the property from the street to get a better feel of the property and entrance.
Lovely home, Los Angeles has so much smog though!
couldn't understand a word the man said, bit of a thick accent but i like where he's coming from, where they're both coming from....that's one cool jetson's era crib. nice
the pool area is like a Hockney`s painting.
Love, love, ❤
Gorgeous home! I’m curious how quiet it is. She mentioned it but I found it hard to believe it with the 101(I think?) freeway right behind it.
Love
Nice house and video, better with the sound turned off.
"It's very quiet". It's next to fourteen lane freeway - doubt it!
It’s up on a hill not next to the freeway…
@@W.ealth.y Sounds travels uphill - it couldn't be any closer. Have a look on a map. All the drone footage has been very carefully curated.
Did you find it on the map?@@hifiandmtb
With acoustic triple window glass you won't even hear your noisy sighs 😅
Nice people living in it now,
The cypress are an interesting embellishment too
With enough Money anyone can create a Paradise for themself.
very cool. is it quiet outside? that hwy looks pretty close
Very cool home. Not sure about the motorway location.
all ok and nice, aside big highway running beside the house
beautiful, important question - arent you worried people would be stalking you, more prone to thieves / lack of privacy especially having a transparent approach through the front door ?
NEUTRA MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m betting the Hong Kong location was epic also ;-)
Que bonito carro me gusta
The video started with a Porsche 911 and finished at exactly nine minutes and eleven seconds (9:11)
Good catch! Wonder if that was intentional.
WOW
Wooow! ❤😮
Good
it's like an Eichlar on steroids. awesome house.
I manifest a home like this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen ❤
Neutra !! Genius !! Just get rid of the IKEA Chairs ok 😂
Why? IKEA had/has also the good stuff. Facts.
Seen the aging Neutra on Hollyridge?
That RS!
