The cabinets were made by Johnny de la Vaux, a ship builder who made many cabinets for boats. Explaining the somewhat nautical look of the interior. Ity's indeed a nice, small and comfortable house. A far cry from the later very large and spectaculair Lautner designs.

Great that you called the video excellent. Yes it's small but it's very great to live in. More videos will come up.

Thank you for your comment! :) :)

@@SuperJobbel you're very welcome. Thank you for the video.

You're welcome! This house again proofs again that Lautner was a genius. A video about John Lautner's Krause House will be uploaded soon.

That's your opinion, and everybody is free to share his opionion on this channel. I rather like this house, especially the interior.

You're welcome! Great that you liked the video. It's indeed my purpose to give people the feeling that they have ''visited'' the house.

You're welcome! thank you very much. New videos will come up very soon.

Yes, the music was a mistake of me, check my later videos they all have different music.

éhm... I don't know.. What do yo mea with that?

It's a very expensive house for sure, but I think these kind of structures are still built today sometimes....

I think to video contains photos of the house during all seasons.

Yes, the interior is beautifull. It's one of Lautner's best livingrooms.

You're welcome. I like making videos on delivery. The Concrete Castle will be very difficult to make a video about: it's inhabited by the first owner and he doesn't allowe any visitors or pictures to be taken. Therefore only a handfull of pictures do exist, only a few people have ever visited it, making it almost impossible to make a video about. Still I hope to make a video someday, it considered by many as one of Lautner's best designs. His final masterpiece completed in 1991 before he passed away in 1994.

@@SuperJobbel Ok, That explains alot. There is little to no information or pictures. But its undoubtedly one of the most unique and timeless designs

@@jco3872 The concrete castle is an aboslute masterpiece. I do have the drawings of the floorplan and it looks great... but besides a few pictures, that you can find on google, there are hardly any images available. Most fascinating is that the house is inhabited by a single very rich person who lives as a hermit and rarely leaves the house.. Maybe I'm gonna make a video someday explaining only floorplan, the drawing and using a scale model (like I did with the Henry's restaurant).

Where do you see water damage? On which moment in the video?

Okay never heard of that music. I shall check it out. Thank you.

Yes, your reaction is what most people have: the house is fabulous but it has some problems. It could had a corridor in the back connecting the bedroom together, but then the bedrooms would be to small. The young children needed to wear swimsuits to prevent them from drowning in the pool. Beautifull architecture mostly comes with a level of discomfort or unpracticality.... Still it's anaboslute masterpiece. Great that you liked the video, thanks! :)

I agree with you: the old interior van really great. Hopefully it we be restored and brought back to its original design.

Agree

Yes, the house is overly large for sure. But it's so damn spectaculair! I still really like, despite it's problems and flaws.

Yes, it was designed at the same time as the Guggenheim Museum, but I was built a few years later, after Frank lloyd Wright's already passed away. Thanks for your lovely comment and really great that you like my videos so much. Your comment stimulates me to make more videos. After I'm done with all the Lautner houses I'm gonna do reviews of the Wright houses.

Okay, what you favorite house? I'm curious!

More videos about unique homes by Lautner will come up soon.

Thanks for your comment. Great that you liked the video.

The concrete roof is extremely durable, that's one thing for sure. I don't know who can repair the swing out dining room. The house is indeed placed on a marvellous location.

It will be difficult to make a video about the Pacific Coast House: only a handfull of photos do exist..the owner doesn't allow any visitors or new photos to be taken. Just a few people have ever visited.. making the house somewhat of a mystery... I hope to make a video about it someday.

It moves with an electric motor. But I haven't seen it operating in reality either...

Yes, the old interior was much more beautiful. Great that you liked the video. More content will come up. Cheers from Amsterdam!

You're welcome. The next video is about the Krause House by Lautner. It will be uploaded in two weeks.

@@SuperJobbel thank you! i love these videos!🙃

Thanks for your comment. Great that you've been to the house and now know who the architect is. The Sleeper House is also very cool, I saw the movie Sleeper a long time ago, but I never been to the house nor the I knew a lot about it, but it looks great.

Thank you! A very well description of the house! very good. 100% agree with your comment. You should help me with writing the voice over. More videos will come up.

You're welcome! It was indeed a lot of time and effort to make this video. It was 6 weeks after the previous video. Next video is about the Krause house, hopefully it can be uploaded in two weeks.

Totally agree that furnishing shown in this video, including the awful helicopter mural, ruin what was an amazing home. Lucky I have several books on JL's work so I have the good fortune of seeing the original design and furnishings. Jop, really appreciate your tours. Thank you

@@michaelsd284 Someone should buy it and bring it back to original, imagine what an amazing holiday home that would be for skiërs and aprés-ski! A real party house lol

I love the idea of all carpet everything, but can you imagine how much cigarette smoke the original carpets swallowed in the 80s? ew

@l.s.11 That's a good point. But now in the non smoking era, the carpets can be replaced, restoring the house into it's full glory.

Good idea. It will do everything to spend a ski holliday in this house. I love skiing and I love john Lautner, so a perfect combination!

Yes, two videos about the Krause and Segel House (both by Lautner) respectively, will be uploaded in the comming weeks.

@@SuperJobbel Thanks! I can see some similarities in the living area of Segel and Turner already (I also refered to my copy of "Lautner A-Z" you inspired me to buy). I am curious about whether JL calculated roof heights and angles in Turner for maximum passive solar heating with the south exposure. I know he calculated window and skylight viewing angles in other homes and doing so for heating would be a logical design element here.

To each his own.

The old interior was indeed better

Your comments stimulates me to make more videos!

You're welcome! So great that so many people look forward to all the videos. It's really heartwarmingto read all positive comments, the reactions stimulate me to make more videos. The next videos, about the Krause house, will be uploaded in two weeks. Till the next episode!!

Dankjewel, leuk om te lezen dat je video goed vond. De volgende aflevering zal gaan over het Krause Huis van John Lautner. Over twee weken staat die online.

You're welcome! The next video will be about the Krause House, it will be uploaded in two weeks.

@@SuperJobbel as far as I’m concerned you can take your time because I’m slow working my way through your video archive trying to savor it as long as possible:)

@@ghostbeetle2950 i feel the same: only a John Lautner house will do🙃

Hahaha! My aplogizes. Maybe you will be able to buy it someday. Lucky for me Lautner never designed any house in my birthyear.

Yes, architectural mastership comes with a price. The downside of living in an artwork.

Lautner only made 4 houses in California. 1 in Colorado, 1 in Alaska, 1 in mexico and 1 in Florida.

Haha. LOL Yes! Both were masters and Lautner studied under Wright: but Lautner went even a step further in his organic and futuristic designs.

You're welcome!

You're welcome! each video is a horrible lot of work, but I really like doing it. This house is one of my favorites. Next video will about the Krause House, also by Lautner.

Yes definitely stunning.
