stunning. as always. thanks for your posting

The views out to the ocean from the staircase are just amazing. Jop, thanks for adding your drawings into the video --- they really help bring out the details in the design and construction.

such a clever house! what amazing interior views😍i love it😍

Thank you, Jop. Your tours, and detailed narration are always appreciated. :)

It was all about that view and Lautner delivered.

Just beautiful ❤. Thats all I can say. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding video! Thank you for these.

Excellent job, thanks for doing these.

Stunning house and video.

Once again, Joop, you've managed to floor me with another excellent video, but this time even with a Lautner house I'd never heard of! I'm sure I've never come across this one in any of my Lautner books. How is that even possible? And what an amazing, hidden jewel it is, too! Well done, my friend!

Mr. Cornelis you have brightened my day once again with your wonderful breakdown and review of the design details of yet another amazing Lautner creation. I must seriously thank you for your hard work which I know is a beautiful labor of love, respect and admiration for the creative genius of our favorite architect. One day, when you have exhausted his entire body of work, I hope you release a complete collection of you work in this regard as I will gladly be the first to purchase such an epic. You are creating an important archive Brother and I admire you greatly. Cheers and I hope I see your next episode soon.

Fabulous presentation. That staircase! Dazzling.

Another Lautner masterpiece. The man was so ahead of his time.

Thank you.

So happy for this new video to come into my stream when I was sat at the keyboard. This fact has prompted me to comment for the first time. This video channel and the wonderful way you present these beautiful buildings is one of the reasons I switch on youtube in the first place. Architecture is the "profession" that surely has the most impact on people lives and John Lautner is at the very pinnacle of this business. Please never stop drawing our attention to these masterpieces in such a wonderful and innovative manner. I am extremely grateful to you.

you never cease to amaze.

Fantastic house. Thank you!

Excellent video - the best video tour and review of the Elrod House that I've seen - thanks for sharing !

This is my favourite channel atm.Perfectly and professionally explained in a very calm mannerr.Thank you so so much.Lautner has grown lately to be my favourite architect.

It is a spectacular house, well suited for large events. I've never seen anything like it, except maybe Elrod House. I agree that it would have looked better with John Lautner's intended furniture, and without the murals. But the house is impressive in any case.

What fabulous views! And I love how the boulders and the floor make the ocean and rocks integrate into the house.

University of California at Los Angeles, not University of Los Angeles

So beautiful and perfectly organic. The views from the windows are spectacular. I also love the Wright designed furniture, especially the built-in bookshelves and cabinets.

Truly astonishing, and unlike anything else I've ever seen. I love how the house is integrated with the site and the plants. Another beautiful and amazing design by Lautner.

It is a shame it was torn down; However, it was in Pomona….. much of which should also be …….. torn down 😮

Yet another unique house, perfectly suited to its environment. I love Lautner's solutions to the site, and the curving, organic quality of the house. Then you go inside, and comfort and convenience are not compromised at all. After all, the house must be a machine for living, yes? It's very beautiful, organic, and ingenious.

I can understand why this house is your least favorite of Lautner's designs. I actually don't much like the look of it from outside. But from inside it looks much nicer, and, as usual, comfortable to live in.

Wow, another amazing video, Jop. The office is like a John Lautner house in miniature. Some museum should really set it up and make it a permanent installation. People would enjoy walking around and feeling how it is to be in the space.

This is a lovely video. I think maybe I like the Jacobsen house a little better, just because, but both houses give you the feeling of living in the trees. I like the external support columns very much, and understand why John Lautner used them here and in other buildings. They look a little strange from outside, but it's so nice to have the freedom of the open space inside.

i drove by this every single day from kindergarten to 12th grade ivee always wondered what the rest of the house looked like! i aslwatys assumed it had a conversation pit

As someone with a carpet allergy, I can understand tearing it out! haha

Simply loved this one.... amazing!! TY for your videos!!

This house is amazing in every way. The site, the materials, the design, and the incredible beauty of the views. I can imagine waking up to look out at the Pacific Ocean. It's simply awesome.

I like very much the Wright influence, especially in the living room. I agree in general that the changes detract from the original feel of the house, but I am personally in favor of swimming pools, so it's hard for me to be upset about it. BTW, I learned the word "skeletonized" from you, so thanks for that.

EKSTRA!!!!!!!

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPER!!!!!!!

You said, Jop, that John Lautner never built the same house twice, but this one is truly spectacular in a way all its own. I have never even seen a house remotely like this one. I love the feeling it has of being safe in a castle, and yet having freedom of views and the closeness of nature.

Incredibly beautiful masterpiece. Again, John Lautner relishes the challenge of building on an "unbuildable" site, and perfectly integrating the house with the surrounding forest. It must be wonderful to stay in this cabin and feel embraced by nature. I saw the video of Miss Pearlman talking about the history of the cabin and her childhood memories of it.

More Googie style building videos please.

When the video begins with incorrect information (Kaufmann was not the founder of the Pittsburgh department store), it's hard to continue on with the video.

It's a very beautiful and interesting house. I like the visible roof structure, which, as you say, gives the house a bit of an industrial feeling. Despite that, the house seems very cozy, warm, and comfortable to live in.

What a beautiful, graceful home, so organically nestled into the hillside. It's a crime to demolish it.

Wow - another fantastic "space ship" house. I love the swimming pool and the spectacular views. Also, the yellow glass flowers everywhere - are they the work of Chihuly? And I love the way the native rocks are integrated into the house, like at the Arango house and the Sheats-Goldstein house.

This house is really like nothing else I've ever seen. The riverlike swimming pool is captivating. It must be so fun to live there or even to visit. And you are right - the concrete looks like a living thing.

According to a Palm Springs architecture tour guide, the Kaufman home was going to have another home actually built by Frank Lloyd Wright behind it that was going to be massive. This was to be built by Kaufman‘s wife who committed suicide and the plans were not completed, and then a different home was built by Zsa Zsa Gabor instead.

Fascinating design - Lautner's architecture continues to excite with each new feature! The moving room in this house is just as unbelievable as it is in his other design with that feature, except maybe even better given the setting of this home. I would love to see this home returned back to its original appointments. It looked great with the carpet spanning the main living area and the dome bedroom wall. It's currently too hard and cold inside, which is nothing like Lautner's typical vision for homes.

However it was possible, but it was the only source that was describing the structure System in a more detailed way. Good video ! Helped me a lot for my study

Jop, again a great video. I like all the John Lautner houses, but this Bailey House is very appealing in that the simplicity and lack of ornament actually make the beauty. And the ponds are sheer genius. I wonder if they really work to cool the house? But visually, they are stunning, as is the overall effect.

It seems to me that Lautner relished the challenges of building on hillsides, as he made so many houses on those sites. This one is elegant and beautiful. I would love living in a house surrounded by trees. You always have the beauty of outdoors as your changing artwork. The open staircase is a little scary, but other than that, the house seems very cozy and comfortable. I love how John Lautner made these houses seem very warm and comforting.
