John Lautner makes dreams come true!!!❤

[@brettanderson8526]

This design feels truly contemporary even now. Amazing!

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes, John Lautner was many years ahead of his time!

[@MsBenlane]

i'm constantly amazed by his engineering genius in creating these wonderful buildings

[@SuperJobbel]

I'm also amazed each time, the more you look into his body of work, the more you'll get surprised. Thst's why I love making these videos: all the surprises when you research the houses.

[@russellking9762]

Not only am i blown away by these beautiful (beautiful is an understatement by the way) houses and the timeless design inherent in all of them i can't believe my eyes when i see they are in such great condition after 70yrs...inside and out. It's as if they were built a month ago and the owners moved in last week. I've said this before and i'll say it again " todays architects got nothing on these guys..(John Lautner & FLW) keep these vids coming please

[@randibgood]

He put so much thought into every one of his designs. The transparency effects and I just love that bedroom door recess! Brilliant!

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes its a masterpiece in every way.

[@MrRicardo361]

Lots of great details in this home.. Thanks for sharing!

[@KenYamaguchi-sg5zr]

Fantastic presentation of a creatively designed house. Thank you.

[@johnreynolds5407]

Beautiful and elegant.

[@madamemarmot]

Excellent video about this beautiful house. It may be small, but it looks very comfortable and pleasant to live in.

[@SuperJobbel]

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

[@Selina42]

Another building I've been dying to know more about. Wonderful to have the layout so beautifully explained. Thank you so much!

[@greatmustis]

another masterpiece... and still counting.!

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes! More videos about masterpieces by Lautner will come up soon.

[@milootje007]

Once again, thank you so much for your effort in creating these amazing, detailed important legacy video's Jop! Lautner truly is one of the best architects the world has ever seen. I have a few favorites, but Lautner is nr.1 for me. 🙏 Missed your video's. I btw also own a quite incredible MCM house. In case you want to go rogue one day and show other architects let me know lol.

[@SuperJobbel]

Thank you @milo that you like me videos so much, that really stimulates me to make more content. Lautner is also my favorite architect but I also lovwe Frank lloyd Wright and many houses by Richard Neutra. Also some works by Le Corbusier. in the future I will expand the channel and I will make videos about there houses as well! Great to hear that you own an MCM house yourself. Yes we can make a video about your home someday! send me a private message than share information and photos about that house. I can publish the video when I'm done with the Lautner videos (some 11 videos about John Lautner will come up).

[@josephbyrnhopf2481]

Excellent presentation! Thanks!

[@SuperJobbel]

You're welcome! Great that you liked the video.

[@Brian-os9qj]

Enjoy the work you do on these vids. Lautner style constantly amazes, and your enthusiasm shines brightly in your reveal. Thx man

[@SuperJobbel]

You're welcome! I'm gonna make videos about all the houses by Lautner, each house is different and billiant in it's own right. Now i'm busy with making new videos, stay tuned.

[@richner-partner]

simple, but yet still interesting and a true masterpiece.. one of my favourites! great video👍🏻

[@SuperJobbel]

Yest its a brilliant design, great to hear that you liked the video. :)

[@vivviedarling9336]

Thank you for this well researched presentation and series. These works are inspiring and your presentations are very enjoyable.

[@GGLD888]

Flush doors, love it

[@brown-brettstgermain9166]

Thank you for this vid. Simply awesome.

[@966396631]

Stunning level of genius. Detail details details.

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes that's hat I love about his houses: all those innovation and details. It's joy to make these videos; to discover the etails and show them to everybody.

[@carycary3822]

Thank you for another superb vid, Jop. :)

[@SuperJobbel]

You're welcome, I love making these videos.

[@rasicmilosav5290]

Great episode, amazing background music.. After Wolf house and Chemosphere ,one of the finest designs of J. Lautner .. Counting the days till next video !

[@marks2140]

Once again an excellent job. I really enjoy your narration.

[@DerMarcus_27.Juni.]

Thanks a lot☘.

[@franciscodanconia4324]

I'm amazed at the engineering of these cantilevered rooms in an earthquake prone place like southern CA.

[@SuperJobbel]

All John Lautner homes have resist any earthquake so far.

[@colins7771]

Amazing!! The song in this video is great too hah

[@SuperJobbel]

Thank you! More videos will come up.

[@jamespong6588]

What a house

[@davidfoster-smith211]

looks fun to live in 😎

[@fraylow9396]

Will you do a video about Harvey House as well ? It's my absolute favorite from Lautner. Thanks for your awesome job !

[@SuperJobbel]

Yes, I'm already preparing a video about the Harvey House, it will be uploaded in a matter of weeks. Possibly begin December. Thanks that you appriciate my videos so much! :)

[@SuperJobbel]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYLEoqmclJ50gaM I just made the video about the Harvey house. Enjoy!

[@carolinawren3594]

ironically for a man considered today a man of his time this house is today nothing if not timeless. Architects are generally known today for their large scale commercial and/or institutional work. Lautner's work commends attention not only for its immaculate attention to detail but for its engineering. From the Chemosphere to the cantilevered driveway of Silvertop - to name two of the most obvious - perhaps there were genius engineers who have gone unacknowledged, but one has to wonder how many small practice engineers would take on similar projects even today? Not to mention architects.

[@SuperJobbel]

The many construction workers and egineers that worked should be mentioned to. They deserve more credits, but unfortunately it's difficult to track down there names. Also the video should be to long to mention all there names. But shout out to them and there great affords!

[@miguelcontreras3953]

A small and stylish house that puts to shame today’s McMansions.

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

that triangle bath tub!

[@sharksport01]

I beam.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

H beams and I beams are similar but not the same. H beams are generally used in vertical load position, and I beam used in horizontal position. The flanges are wider on H beams, the central web wider on I beams.

[@SuperJobbel]

Okay thank you, I didn't know for sure wether H or I beams were used in the Tyler House. But if you say that I beams are more commonly used in horizontal positions, it probably that. Although H beams are stronger and the floating livingspace of the Tyler House has to be very strong, so H beams are still also possible. Thanks for your criticism.. I learn from it and so I an improve my videos.

[@SuperJobbel]

I've search it on the internet: but indeed I beams are more logic.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

@@SuperJobbel Thank you! I really do enjoy your series. I just mention this to help you learn and improve. These videos will be seen for decades and hopefully inspire others to look into Lautner. He was a favored student of Frank Lloyd Wright's, and indeed created his own style, and designed many great structures. Thank you for creating this series👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marcanglin7127]

Beautiful design !!!. However, two observations: First, I suppose that the jalousie windows (ugh !!!) are kept for originality/period-correct reasons. Second, my wife says NO !!! to steps up and down from the kitchen !!! She says: "You try carrying the finished meals down steps to the table !!!" 😂

[@SuperJobbel]

haha! yes I can imagine that it's a hell of job carrying those meals every day over the stairs. Still I believe it's worth it...... living in such an beautiful house comes with a price!

[@marcanglin7127]

@@SuperJobbel And I'm thinking of the common vision of the prototypical mid-50's housewife: Skirt, pearls and high heels !!! 🤣🤣🤣I want to see Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver) walk up and down those stairs carrying the dishes !!!

[@lpmj2619]

Outstanding. If designed/built today, it would have the same progressive impact. The H beams explains the floor support out to the chimney. But, is the chimney reinforced in anyway to carry that weight? Anyone?🤔

[@l.s.11]

7:38 - Those small windows by the floor (bottom left corner of the photo) - what were they for? For a cat and a dog? Again seen at 7:50 - bottom right of the image.

[@SuperJobbel]

Well...Uhh... Honestly: I don't know either! no idea where it's for. It doesn't look like a cat/dog door to me.

[@l.s.11]

@@SuperJobbel It's a bit too random to be just... well, random. I wonder what the purpose was. Directing draft / air flow? Pets? Sweeping away the dust? Thief trap? For leaving your sweaty shoes outside? Haha...

[@SuperJobbel]

@@l.s.11 hahah... yes the only answer I can come up with: next to the house is a stair that goes up to the hill, when you climp up this stair the small windows are on eye level, so it could be used for looking inside when you are standing on the stair. Or when you have a package delivery, the delivery person can sldie the package through that window when he 's standing on that stair . I guess it safes a lot of time, instead of climbing up the whole stair and walking around to the front door............... I don't know if I have answered youre question correctly but this is what I think!

[@247ptv]

Dog doors for an Akita (Kodi) and a Jack Russel Terrier (Kibble), leading to a dog run, built to match the other doors in the house.

[@SuperJobbel]

@@247ptv Haha... Thank You! I did a lot of research on the house, but I never could figure out what is was for :) I always wondered... Did you lived of live in the house? Or do you know the owners?

[@wm.h.9123]

why did Lautner decide not to connect the main floor with the downstairs?

[@SuperJobbel]

I don't know the exact reason for that, but in many Californian homes it's common to have separate floor levels, that are connected from the outside. The lack of an internal stair creates more livingspace and because of the hot Californian climate it's not a problem to go outside every time. John Lautner's " Dautsch House" and "Foster House" haven't internal stairs either. Just check out the videos about those homes.

[@gregpendrey6711]

😊

[@l.s.11]

For anyone interested, there's a video of the house (not everything is shown), and you can see how it "breathes" in the sunlight. Seems like it was bought and restored by an appreciative enthusiast. You can watch the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKKngImMpspjm6s

[@SuperJobbel]

Thanks for sharing that link: yes it's an interesting video, but the problem with any other videos about john Lautner is that, as you already mentioned it, they don't show everything and they don't show how the house was laid out. That's why I started this channel, the make overviews of the houses as complete as possible.

[@l.s.11]

@@SuperJobbel Oh yeah, I really appreciate your effort. The video I linked is more so complementary to yours. I don't think I'd understand the layout just from watching it, but it was nice to see the gorgeous textures and the play of light and interesting to hear the owner talk about it.

[@Fr0styBoii]

The fact that Dua Lipa lives in this house and sung it in her song ' Future Nostalgia ' is crazy

[@SuperJobbel]

Okay, I never knew ''Duo Lipa'' lived in this house. I've just checked the videoclip and the song. ''Like modern architecture, John Lautner is coming your way!'' :) haha... Thank you!

[@thebasementtoysproject7912]

Actually, Dua Lips used to spend time there when she dated Anwar Hadid (they split in November, 2021), who still lives in the house. Sometimes he shows some parts of the house on his posts and stories on Instagram.

[@Fr0styBoii]

I had no idea they split

[@eladyihie2502]

It's literally the raumplen of Adolf Loos....

[@jayski9410]

I can't get over how much this design reminds me of tangram puzzles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangram And while I love the way Lautner uses the warmth of wood in his interiors, I was surprised to see him extend it all the way into the shower stall of one of the bathrooms. That has to be a maintenance headache.
