ARCHITECT OF HEAVEN AND EARTH

. . . . . . . . . . . .

John Lautner Homes for Sale | As one of Southern California’s most prized and noteworthy architects of the twentieth century, John Lautner’s (1911-1994) career spanned over fifty-five years. Lautner and Los Angeles shared the same creatively rebellious spirit, the architect going on to produce some of the most striking modernist homes in the city.

Born and raised in Michigan, Lautner was accepted into an apprenticeship program at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship. He would be greatly influenced by his time with Mr. Wright, ultimately developing his own distinct style of “organic architecture.” Lautner would begin the design process with how he wanted the inhabitants of the home to feel. Starting with the interior space, he crafted the complete user experience, taking into consideration, the view, the landscape and the private areas. Hollywood has had a love affair with Lautner’s work for decades, his exuberant designs and architectural influence showing up film, TV shows, cartoons and music videos. There are John Lautner properties in several areas of Los Angeles. If you are interested in finding an architectural property contact Beyond Shelter. We are happy to help you find current and off-market John Lautner homes for sale.
