Schaffer House by John Lautner. Complete overview and walkthrough.

[@choryferguson2196]

Your skill in contextualizing the photos through your drawings of floor-plan and elevation really really illustrate what a glorious building this is. Thank you.

[@SuperJobbel]

Really great to read all the positive comments! It was a challenge for me to explore the complex house, it took a lot of research and time to draw everything. ( I want all the video overviews as complete as possible). So if someone says it was really well illustrated, it was worth all the afford for me. Thanks! More videos about Lautner, FL Wright and Neutra will come up!

[@josephsanford2154]

Thank you for your passion for things Lautner and for the detail you put into your videos. This house is an amazing piece of art designed and built in a time when the codes were in their infancy. I’m SO glad John L could do what he did and be so very creative with such mastery-without the intense restrictions we have today. I envy him-as today this house could not be built. Between the structural codes requiring either shear walls everywhere (making the home much less transparent) or moment frames instead (very expensive!), the current energy codes (that much glass could not happen anymore unless you used triple-glazed gas-filled glass which would be difficult to make frameless and extremely expensive, even then maybe not without super-insulating the structure (also expensive), and lastly the ecological rules about no building within the driplines of heritage oak trees (which these look like they are), this house would not get a permit. Which is very sad-it’s obvious it has survived all these years without falling down or breaking from earthquakes, and hasn’t killed any of the trees. We don’t know how it does energy wise with little insulation and single-pane glass, but with that much shade in LA, it’s probably not too bad. Makes you wonder why the codes are so strict..? 🤔 Anyway, I’m glad he could do it in such an unfettered way for all of us to enjoy do many decades later. 😄 Joseph Sanford, Architect

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes John Lautner lived in a time where he could designed/ build anything he want. today with all those restictions it would have be more difficult. The house is located is southern california so it never gets cold inside, in more colder states the windows need to make of triple glazed glass.

[@josephsanford2154]

@@SuperJobbel I appreciate your reply. Just so you know, it can get cold in SoCal (that being a relative term-at least colder than other times) thus the installation of a fireplace and a gas furnace. But that is another thing not allowed any more by code-open-throat fireplaces are not allowed anymore to burn wood, and now there’s legislation coming to outlaw any gas-burning appliances, including furnaces. The push is for zero-carbon emissions, aka total electric fuel, which is physically impossible. I guess my point is that the architecture we all love about this house (and many other architects of this era, including FLW, Neutra, MVDR, even Greene and Greene) gave us very human-supportive designs we find so beautiful today, is absolutely impossible to design and build in the US now. This is why new houses are either so very boxy and sterile, or outlandishly over the top and frightfully expensive. All because of codification brought on by environmental movements and the zeal for public safety. I saw another comment about the magic of Lautner’s houses being small square footages-that’s a “new” trend now…I think it’s a response not only to the excessive cost to build now, but a desire for our houses to be nurturing homes, instead of inhuman “supportive living units”. My mission in these comments is to hopefully encourage others to start to innovate ways within the current code atmosphere to bring back the human element in design which is necessary for mental and physical health, as well as challenge all of us to seek ways to build more efficiently and less expensively. Are there solutions with the entire assembly of do-good code creators working against that? I hope so…does anyone know of places/people doing this? 🤔😃

[@SuperJobbel]

@@josephsanford2154 Hey only today I saw you comment! Thanks for responding to the video. Indeed, we need more current architect who work innovative with small atmospheres in houses.

I think what I like best about Lautner houses like this one is that they are so small. They aren't mansions. In fact, they are smaller than the average modern ranch-style house built today. But the architectural details cover every square foot, and the construction is so complicated and intricate, it's just a work of art.

[@SuperJobbel]

''Works of art'' is the best way to describe these houses. I agree that especially the smaller designs by Lautner are full of great inventions and details. Each of his houses is so complicated: the designs keep intriguing.

[@ghostbeetle2950]

It feels ridiculous to call this "one of Lautner's most beautiful houses" when everything he made was spectacular, but it's true. This house, in particular, is a lyrical composition, a poem in wood and glass. An amazing balance - like you mention in your video guidance - between a log cabin and an opne air picnic spot in the woods. Rightly takes one's breath away! Thank you for this update!

[@SuperJobbel]

''A poem in wood and glass'' that's very good way to describe the house! I should have said that in the video ..haha. There are not enough words to describe how great this house is. From each angle the house looks different, like an abstract artwork. It's hard to choose from all designs by Lautner but this one is one of my favorites.

[@kimballbenson8116]

The truth is Lautner designed many different structures and had many different clients of various financial means. Sometimes he didn't build an entire place but did additions. It's a little bit incomplete to think of him as a millionaire only architect. It's too easy to look at his big projects and define Lautner based on just those, but the truth is his creative genius can be found in so called "lesser" works that deserve as much attention and honor. It's only when subsequent property owners come along later and screw up his original work or really bad (read tasteless) clients or contractors who fouled things up that created abortions that would be disowned by Lautner himself. These places might be considered possibly worthy of dismissal.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Suspected maintenance issues - keeping leaves from accumulating on roof, maintaining oaks overhanging house 12:02 .. No gutters to clean but narrow overhang lets runoff splatter walls. Home obviously not meant for long cold winters. Nice visual & structural overview. The model near the end of the video simplified roof details. Thanks.

[@SuperJobbel]

Good to hear that you liked the video so much. Home is indeed not meant for long cold winters, but it is build in Southern California so it never gets cold. That's no issue. The overhanging oaks indeed demand a lot of maintenance, as well as the preservation of the wood. But it's worth the efford to live in such a beautifull house.

My husband and I looked at this gorgeous house when we were searching for a home to buy way back in the '90's. It was not in great shape and was really dark. We loved all the wood and the fact that it was a Lautner. It's in a lovely wooded neighborhood. An actor ended up purchasing it and I believe he did some wonderful restoration, which we would have been unable to afford at the time. It made my heart happy to see it in the movie looking so glorious!

[@SuperJobbel]

Great story! so bad you couldn't buy it back then. I don't know who owns the house nowadays, but it's beautifully restored in the 2010's. It's truly an amazing home and would love to built a similar home for myself some day.

[@madamemarmot]

I rewatched this video because I love this house so much. And now I understand why - just as you said, Jop, it is modest and humble, completely at peace with its site (organic), respectful of the magnificent oak trees, and yet it is a spectacular work of art. All this, AND a cozy, comfortable looking home.

[@peterbockholm3176]

From the houses by Lautner that I have seen this is my favorite. I'm a cabinet maker and really really like the way he used wood in this house. I also like his combination of the redwood and the bricks, they complement each other and the brick doesn't overpower the wood. It's a perfect balance. The design itself is genius, spectacular but humble at the same time. Nothing goes overboard. Thank you for another great video. 🙂

[@mancinidesignbuild]

480p? Lautner’s stylistic break from Wright’s exacting stone-and-wood geometries coincides with his transition to concrete as his primary structural material and to the folds of the earth; the concrete ‘shell’ became the metaphor and the medium for man’s flight away from civilization into the shelter of nature.

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes I agree with you. The mayor difference between Wright and Lautner is that Lautner went many steps further in mixing the interior with exterior and further with imitating the shapes of nature. This indeed coincidented with a more exntesive use of concrete and glass. But keep in mind that Lautner lived a few decades later: in that time it was easier to use concrete and glass on such a scale, than it was back in the days when Wright was designing most of his houses. Had Wright lived later he might use just as much glass and cocnrete as Lautner. Indeed the use of Concrete allowed Lautner to design most of his houses from a ''shell'' .

[@williamfahey6066]

I love the House. I saw the, Movie A Single Man, and was amazed at how beautiful the house is. Nice video, Thank you, Jeff

[@SuperJobbel]

All houses by John Lautner are masterpieces. I made this youtube channel to cover each time one house by Lautner in a video. The more you look into the designs the better it becomes. Many Lautner houses are used in movies, like the Elrod house in the James Bond movie ''Diamonds are Forever''

[@douglasfur3808]

Thanks for the update. It feels fresh, not like a repetitious. [To be pedantic: I think "triple beam" would be more accurate description of Lautner's design. "Trellis" is more often used for a secondary or decorative structure. Using the triple beam instead of one larger beam decreases the visual weight of the structure. Supporting the roof with these beams means that exterior walls can be open with no bearing walls to carry the roof load. "Retaining walls" refers to walls resisting a horizontal load.]

[@SuperJobbel]

thanks for your advice! It helps me improving the videos, next time I will say triple beam. I'm not a native English speaker, so my knowledge of English words is limited, I was not familliar with the words ''triple beam'' and ''bearing walls'' .

A detail I haven't seen mentioned is Lautner used strips of brass between the horizontal wood slats in the walls. This was done where he wanted to have more privacy.

Today the house would indeed be much more expensive: partly due to the rising material cost but even more due to rising cost of craftmanship. However, the house would be still less expensive, compared to other designs by Lautner and Wright. Off course: The building costs are multiple times the prefab houses that you see mostly today. ...

[@SuperJobbel]

FLW and J.Lautner loved carports because they provided more transparency to the design, instead of the enclosed garage which was described by FLW as a "dark box " . In the dry sunny climate of California it's not strictly needed to have a garage and the shelter of the carport is enough to protect your car from the burning sun. Still, I agree with you that a garage is more practical and safer. You can always turn a carport into a garage by placing walls in it.
