John Lautner was a California based architect that built very inspiring public buildings and private residences. The Walstrom house was constructed in 1969 into the side of a hill in the Santa Monica mountains just outside of Los Angeles. My main interest in this home is of course the use of wood, but also the asymmetrical structure.

He is my favorite architect for sure, unbelievable living space, I feel like you could not not be creative in that house :)
good find
Incredible. A very comfortable looking treehouse on a hill.
That looks like the house that the Cullin’s live in from Twilight.
There is so much funky feng shui in this house I wouldn’t know where to begin to fix it.

Yes Aster, because feng shui is actually a valid profession/theory.
Wow, what a beautiful house. I have always striven to bring a balance between modern design and nature. John Lautner has done a wonderful job with his use of wood and hard edge geometry. The natural light in this home is phenomenal.
I’d love to live in this house. The glass panel walls are fantastic.
I like the pool.
Fantastic!
Project houses on the hills is something very very hard to do and what you did is awesome!
Your design joins nature and confort in the same atmosphere. The natural light entrance is cool!
Congrats !
@Milton, thanks for commenting. The house is by the great architect John Lautner. You can see more of his works here: http://johnlautner.org/
We’re also working to find out who the photographer was for these photos!
I dont like the lines it creates on the exterior. Living space feels zen thou
When may I move in?!
He is one of my favorite architects!
I recently stayed with my girl at the Lautner Hotel in Palm Springs, CA

Does anyone know what that large piece of wood protruding above the bookcase in the 2nd photo is? And is it currently open to public or do people live there now?
Another stunning house by Lautner. The elements all work so well together. Those stairs, those cool book shelves, all the glass open to the view. This guy was an artist with putting the pieces together just right.
Love the library but I hope the windows are UV cause all that sun is going to do some damage to those books!
