John Lautner Architecture Videos
John Lautner Architecture Videos
Hello I'm a huge architecture lover from the Netherlands. I was always a fan of John Lautner, but I realised that I never could find enough information of his houses and his designs. Also it was difficult to find an exact layout of his houses. I started a long search on the internet and collected many photographs. Now I combine those images with my own drawings, to create videos and to show people how the houses look like. To give people the feeling of walking through the houses. With this I want to preserve the legacy of such a brilliant architect. Later I want to expand this channel with videos of other modernist architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra. Do you like what i doing? Please support me on Patreon to allow me spending more time with making these videos www.patreon.com/johnlautner

Thank you for the great video. When viewing these famous houses, I always try to imagine living in them. Often, what looks great in photos, might not be very livable. For example, I would want more privacy than this house affords. Yet, blinds, curtains, and interior doors would ruin the aesthetic. For me, the best houses are both architecturally stunning, but practical to live in too.
OMG what a masterpiece..!!
THANKS FOR SHARING - - GREAT VIDEO + GREAT ARCHITECT! 😃👍👍
You're welcome! I like making these videos, John Lautner is the best! :)
@@SuperJobbel He’s most certainly up there in the top 10-12 I’d say 😎👍🏼👍🏼
I've been to Fallingwater twice but not the Desert House. I prefer Neutra's Desert House because of the open space, which is quite a contrast to FLW's Fallingwater. One other little point, I'm not a fan of the FLW flooring concept in Fallingwater. Too Yin for me!
I love this house... masterpiece
I think this is an early masterpiece.!!
Yes, most early houses by Lautner are masterpieces.
Nice, problem is people would not want to leave!
Yes, that's true!
I saw this house in person last year.
I'm jealous at you, ironically: I made a video about the house but never saw it in reality. I've visited some other houses by Lautner, but not this one!
another ones, another masterpiece..!!
where was this located in pomona?
101 E Foothill Boulevard, CA 91767.
Inzane destroyers !!!!! 😢 -WHYYYYYYY !!!!!! IDIOTS!!!!!
interesting house
heartbreaking. what a wonderful design
very interesting house
Of all the buildings by Wright and his apprentices, this house is the one that combines full portions of innovation and integration with a feeling for human living as something worthy of reverence.
Who inherited the house after Hopes death ?
The four children of Bob Hope inherited the house. They try to sell it for 50 million but, after being for sale for many years, it was sold for only 20 million to Ron Burkle. He did a major renovation and remodeling to the house: bringing it more close to Lautner's original design.
@@SuperJobbel 5 Million per family still ain’t bad for doing nothing other than having a famously rich father 💁
@@gary1705 Yes that's true! :)
almost every house by Lautner is a masterpiece..!!
Absolutely!
another masterpiece ..!!!
Never knew of the term "Googie" Architecture!! Now that I've seen this video, it shows me what I've seen most of my life in all the various places I've lived and can accurately put a name to it!! Thank you again!!
You're welcome again! Great that you 've never heard of Googie and now know what you always saw in various places where you lived. Googie is still all over the place in the United States. Here in Europe it's less common. More videos will come up soon about other archtiecture movements.
No matter the client or location, John Lautner always made the best of the site and maximized the natural environment around it. His designs, no matter how elaborate or modest, always took great care in the owner's needs. Thank you for all you do to bring attention to ALL of his work!!
I believe it's important to capture also the less important designs by Lautner because especially the smaller ones show how a great an architect he was. Showing that he was also brilliant with a limited budget.
@@SuperJobbel absolutely!! I have a HUGE love of Architecture and Architects. Wright of course has had a huge influence on my own work. But to see one of his own apprentices to become such a force in his own right and with such a vast range of designs and budgets is truly unmatched!! John Lautner has become one of my favorite post modern architects, and in no small part, because of your in-depth work to bring more attention to him!!
@@fragout9575 Absolutely Lautner was a genius and he deserves more recognition. Therefore I started this channel to bring more attention to his masterfull work. After F.L Wright he's the 2nd best American Architect, in my opinion. Although I also love Neutra.
This channel is a gem for architects and enthusiasts! Very good work!
Thank you! I hope it will be indeed a gem for everybody who loves architecture. More videos will come up soon!
masterpiece..!!
Your videos are always awesome and I'm learning so much about one of the most important architects ever. I appreciate it so much!
Thank you, great that you like all the videos. There are still 9 videos about John Lautner homes coming, than I'm gonna review most houses by FL Wright.
I love the way that Lautner used to solve his houses, a different solution in structure, materials, space and everything. A white house like Le Corbusier, a glass house like Mies but blend in only one..!!
Yes, this house is also one of my favorites. It's very unusual for John Lautner's own standards.
Je hebt een prachtige verzameling video's over het werk van Lautner. Complimenten!
Dankje! Ja het was veel werk om al deze videos te maken, maar ik vind het leuk om te doen. Ik heb nog 9 videos te gaan dan heb ik overzichten gemaakt van alle belangrijke huizen van John Lautner. Succes en tot de volgende video :)
Very nice! As usual, I have studied the plans and a few photos but this video brought the house to life! Very exciting for me. Thank you!
Oh wow! Thank you for your positive comment, great to read that you liked the video. Your reactions stimulates me to make more content. Each video is always a lot of work: but when I read all the wonderfull comments, I know it's worth the effort!
My grandfather and his son built and operated the Futurama Bowl in San Jose, CA.
Okay great. I never heard of the Futurama Bowl in San Jose but I shall check it out! Sounds interesting, I love the Googie style restaurants from this 1950's, 60's and 70's.
@@SuperJobbel Cheers! The Futurama appears In the book, Googie, Fifties Coffee Shop Architecture by Elon Hess.
@@georgekrpan3181 Oh thanks, I took a look at the book by Alan Hess but somehow I didn't notice the Futurama Bowl. but I googled it: awesome looking structure, very interesting dome like roof. i never heard of the architect Power who designedd it. Was it a bowling alley? It doesn't exist anymore, does it?
@@SuperJobbel Yes, it was a bowling alley and no, it was demolished. I think the sign still exists for the shopping center that is now there. What was Power's first name? I want to google him. I think he lived in Silver Lake in SoCal.
@@georgekrpan3181 Hey I've checked it out for you: Powers, Daly and DeRosa were the 3 architects who designed the Futurama bowl. They were an archtiecture firm: you shouls google Powers, Daly and DeRosa and a lot of results will pop up!
Cross is a much more politic word than swastika in this particular case.
:) yes that's true.
Excellent video... The neighbors really should have had a little more consideration with their roof appearance... Solar is wonderful, but there must have been a more attractive design alternative?
Hahaha! I know what you mean: solar panels are not the most beautiful things, but good for the climate, so indeed they must be designed more stylish. I don't know if some designer ever had designed modernist stylish solar panels Great to read that you enjoyed the video! :)
You have the perfect voice for these videos. Thank you for this wonderful channel.
Thank you! Not everybody says that to me, sometimes people complain about my Dutch accent. Haha! Always try to improve my English language skills.
@@SuperJobbel your accent is what makes it so cool!
@@d.bcooper7819 Thank you! :)
I have already discovered this amazing house ♥ I'm out of words
Yes it's breathtaking!
I've commented on other videos of yours before and just had this one pop up I worked my entire life in construction (as a finish carpenter) but always have been fascinated by concrete and especially Brutalist buildings the concrete forming for this house however boogles my mind it's phenomenal I can't imagine how complicated it would have been to build , pour , the finish some of these details thank you for the documentary of this structure
Yes this house is a masterpiece with concrete all over the place. It must have been an enormous amount of work to construct. Great that you liked the video.
I love the content… please keep them coming.
Thank you. Don't worry, the content will keep coming! :)
Hello, I am an interior design student. Thank you for your wonderful explanation in the video. I chose this house as the subject of a presentation for a lesson during my school years. But I cannot access the architectural sections of the house. Is there anything you can help with in this regard?
Great that you liked the video. Do you mean you want a vertical cut out of the house? I don't have them either. I do have the complete floorplan however.
@@SuperJobbel Yes. What I need are architectural vertical sections. Thank you anyway. Do you have any information on where I can find it?
@@BaharToktas-wv8sb Honestly I don't know. You can check out the Wright Archives, otherwise you can make the vertical cross sections by yourself. Based on the floorplans in my video and the photos, you can draw the vertical section yourself. Only under the livingroom is a cellar and above is the office, the rest of the house is single floor.
@@SuperJobbel I get ıt. Thanks for your helpfulness.
@@BaharToktas-wv8sb Yes, I know the problems you face: I desperately wanted the drawings for these videos too but couln't find them anywhere, so I made my own drawings and did my owns research based on the photos. It's so sad there's so little information available about these beautiful houses. That's why I started this channel: to share information with other fans like you. Ufortunately I never made a vertical cross section drawing. I can help with other houses by J.Lautner and F.L Wright.
Enjoyed the video. I built my new Mid Century home in Augusta, GA after living in a similar home in Florida wanting to go back to my roots. So In 2024, this year I completed my home. So there is a Stahl House East Coast too. I am not kin but love the house the Stahl's built. Nothing like it.
Wow! Cool that you built your own dream house inspired by the Stahl House! also great that you liked the video. I'm curious how the design of your house looks like.
Thank you so much for a great video for a place that I have seen almost nothing about. Other than it was great. You really gave us a lot and I agree, the dappled sun in the carport must have been nice!
Yes, also this design by Lautner is sadly little known. Therefore I make this videos: giving more attention to these wonderfull designs. I neve seen the structure in reality, but it must have been wodnerfull to be there.
A great design. It would be spectacular if it got a proper restoration....needs a good deal of work.
Yes hopefully it will be restored someday because it deserved to be preserved.
Well done. Lots of great info.
Thank you! I like making these videos.
Thank you! Again, a building that is hard to fully grasp on paper alone. I very much enjoyed your walkthrough!
You're welcome! This building is indeed difficult completely. For me it was quite a puzzle to make this video. I think it's one Lautner's most interesting designs because it is his apartment building. More videos will come up soon, next video is about the Turner House by Lautner.
A masterpiece, indeed! Thank you for sharing, this.
You're welcome! I made this video because I believed this masterpiece always deserved a complete overview. Capturing every detail.
Mahakarya yang amat sangat berharga.
kamu benar sekali. salam dari Belanda  kamu benar sekali. salam dari Belanda
I lived in the round 1st apartment on the right when I was at UCLA in the 80’s with 3 buddies. I had bedroom 2 in your video. It was magical. My small room was like a womb with the rich wood vertical louvered window. It spawned a lifelong love of architecture, and i have been restoring and re-restoring a Richard Neutra house for the past 27 years. I’ve even thought about building a single-room ADU recreating that wonderful pie-shaped room on my hillside. Marvelous work on this presentation. Bravo!
Thank you! Really great to read your comment :) Funny that someone who has actually lived in the apartment has watched the video and enjoys it. Also great that living in the apartment started your interest in architecture. You should recreate a similar apartment on your backyard: the world cannot get enough Lautner inspired houses because they are so beautiful. I'm almost finished with making videos about all the important designs by Lautner. Than I'm gonna make a series of videos the house by F.L Wright, then Neutra and the CasestudyHouses. So still a lot of videos coming up. Till the next
I found these photos a few years ago and studied the floorplan but having you really walk us through the house was awesome. I got so much more out of this home. Thank you very much!
I want to give people the feeling that they actually walk through the houses. Showing every detail about the house. Each video is a lot of work but I like doing it. I started this channel because there was so little information available about Lautner, he deserves more recognition. Especially this house, which is hardly known, that's why I called it "his forgotten masterpiece"
He's my favorite architect and this house shows why. I enjoyed your video SO MUCH. Very clear and such wonderful photos and explanations. Great work on an amazing home!
Thank you! Really nice to read that you enjoyed the video, your comment stimulates me to make more content. This house is also one of my favorites, its a compact house that feels very large at the same time. John Lautner is my favorite architect, when I'm done with making videos of all his houses, I'm gonna videos about all houses by my other hero F.L Wright.
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.
hydronic heating ! holy smokes however what material were the hoses ? copper or galvanized steel ? I'm actually surprised that terrazzo wasn't laid as the finished floor maybe cost overruled it
Cupper tubes. Honestly I don't know if the terrace is heated or not. Interesting profile picture do you have: is that Alain Delon in a Wehrmacht uniform, or some other actor?
@@SuperJobbel no sir it's Hans Kloss a fictional WW2 Polish spy look him up he was kind of like James Bond
@@hanskloss1331 Oh haha! Great fictional name for a KZread account!
Thank you for this. I've seen lots of pictures, but this makes the structure and space much clearer.
thanks, that's why I started this channel : to give a complete overview of the houses and designs by Lautner. Cover the entire structure with every detail. Like you I had seen a lot of photos and a red a lot of books, but never I could get a clear overview: so i started my own research.
👌👌👌
Brillant desing but a trully horrible place to live 😂😂😂
That's is a common criticism of many of Frank Lloyd Wright's designs.
Great building and great video - thank you!
You're welcome!
