Hess points out that Lautner's embrace of Modernist innovation and organic forms made him a more interesting architect but also contributed to his obscurity during much of his career.
During the s and '60s, the starker, cooler Modernism of the Bauhaus and of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe reigned in intellectual circles, especially in Europe and on the East Coast.
The way a building was put together was like a tree or a flower or a cave -- natural forms. Wright was one of the founders of that approach to Modernism, and Lautner brought it to Southern California.
Even out-of-state critics and scholars who could appreciate the sharply angular California Modernism of midcentury didn't know what to make of Lautner's merging of the modern with natural forms. Escher, the preservation architect, considers Lautner "the missing link between the classic Modernism of the Case Study Houses and the work we now associate with Los Angeles -- the more expressive, more sculptural forms. Frank Gehry has said that as a student, he considered Lautner to be a god.
Unlike a lot of the more didactic and theory-driven homes of Modernists from Le Corbusier to Philip Johnson, it's actually pleasant, most of the time, to live inside a Lautner.
The homes don't force their inhabitants into an ant farm's existence the way some houses do. Le Corbusier called his homes "machines for living in," and sometimes they felt that way, with their narrow hallways and rigidly prescribed paths.
Chemosphere is bisected by a central, exposed brick wall with a fireplace, abutted by subdued seating, in the middle. One side of the house is public, with a small kitchen and blended living and dining rooms including built-in couches below glass windows. The house's private half includes a master bedroom with bathroom, small storage and laundry rooms, an office made of two children's bedrooms, and an additional bathroom.
Despite being more compact than many new single-family houses, it has most of the essential elements. Angelika Taschen, a PhD in art history, knew the house from Shulman's photos before she saw the real thing. She worried it might be difficult to live there. She said that besides limiting her trips out of the house because of the funicular, living there didn't alter her behavior. Lautner, despite his reputation as having a strong personality, worked hard to suit his clients and their inner lives.
Angelika describes the place as having a spiritual impact, almost like a church. Benedikt likens the house to an eagle's nest. It's warm and human, not a cold place. You would not expect it from outside.
The only consistent problem with the house, Taschen says, is that its technology often fails in subtle but frustrating ways. Everything is much more complicated. With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing, Catfish has adopted a socially distant-production model during which all of the investigating and filming is done virtually.
This means that Nev Schulman has been filming his portions of the show from his home, where he is quarantining with his wife Laura Perlongo and their kids Cleo and Beau. According to Variety , Schulman and Perlongo put their Brooklyn condo up for sale at the end of March, after the coronavirus pandemic his the US.
Elle Decor published a piece featuring their beautiful Brooklyn home.
