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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.)
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!
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 !!!
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.
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?
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.
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)
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 ?
The discussion is great regarding architecture for rich and upwardly mobile folks, not to discount the love of rigorous mid-century, just inaccessible to a majority of people. So, in some ways seems more 'show-off' than discussion of what is plausible for the average American.
It’s ironic, bc there were architects like Eichler who created these mid-century modern homes for middle class individuals to live in. As a matter of fact, he did thousands these houses which were essentially like tract homes. It’s sad to see how greed today affects affordable homeownership in beautiful homes like these.

Exactly The same thought as I clicked on the video haha
Me three!
Not that awesome

The love for Neutra's mind. It is extraordinary. Extraordinary.
❤️
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 :)
Stunning house and short film, excellent production.
Many thanks!
Love Neutra´s work!...is unique sense of simplicity, elegant and open to outside spaces. great!
Pool, views, amazing. Kids must love it!

Absolutely!

This house is magical!
Oh.. I LOVE this house! Beautifully thought-out minimalism.
Stunning. What I wouldn't do to live there... Thanks for including the nighttime views. As a lighting fanatic, I love seeing this!
beautiful home and restoration/ update. nice Porsche ! Thank you again Open Space team for another great episode.
Our pleasure!
i cant get enough of this house! beautiful
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 .
Your Friend and Follower SG
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.
Beautiful entrance and kitchen. 😍
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!
This is so beautiful 🥺 the exterior and outdoor area of the house are so attractive
I really like the ideas they put forward: a house for living in and sharing. It sounds basic but it's forgotten sometimes.
Literally magical.
Yes!
Geeeeeshuz. Another amazing story. Great work
Thanks again!

Just beautiful! This house is beautiful, amazing job!
Glad you like it!
Just beautiful and perfect renovated
Wonderful house, stunning 911. What else? Great video, thanks for sharing!
Stunning !
Thank you!
Beautiful house.
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.
the transition to the night shots was amazing
Beautiful. Reminds me of Twin Palms
Not a Kreisal house.
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.

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

Special respect that the house owner host loves the oldtimer Porsche cars
Absolutely beautiful home!!!!!
We agree!
Amazing, love it 😊
video duration 9:11 , love it
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!
Not a good idea in drought country. Plus, it would cover up too much of the house.
Amazing family and house 🖤
Love it ❤

Thank you! Will do!
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.
beautiful home
Thank you! 😊
We haven’t forgotten.

this was very well done. could do a side episode on that Porsche!!
"It's very quiet". Hey, we can see the Freeway right there!
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)
Awesome! Thank you!
My dream home!
thank you
Big Neutra fan here. Live the structure, but regarding the decor, I need much more textile/fabric around me. I need warm colors too.
just love it 😍 😊 🥰
stunning🤩
Thank you!!
Looks amazing, well done. Cheers from the fishtank..😂
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.
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
I manifest a home like this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen ❤
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 ?
the pool area is like a Hockney`s painting.
Love, love, ❤
Lovely home, Los Angeles has so much smog though!
"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 😅
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.
With enough Money anyone can create a Paradise for themself.
Love
I’m betting the Hong Kong location was epic also ;-)
Nice house and video, better with the sound turned off.
Incredible house. Amazing landscape design. Terrible interior design. So much more could be done with that space in that regard.
very cool. is it quiet outside? that hwy looks pretty close
Wooow! ❤😮
Very cool home. Not sure about the motorway location.
all ok and nice, aside big highway running beside the house
it's like an Eichlar on steroids. awesome house.
The cypress are an interesting embellishment too
Que bonito carro me gusta

Seen the aging Neutra on Hollyridge?
Nice people living in it now,
Was that the house that was in the first ever episode TV movie of columbo
Good question. It would be nice to know.
Good
Nice house, what exterior color did you use for your home.
That RS!
This house looks sparse, and feels very cold. Need more elements to give it maximum effect.
