Great video. We visited Rae Eames shortly before her death. It was on the Fourth of July, an enchanted evening in that amazing house and then a picnic overlooking the ocean, so that we could watch the fireworks. I'm indebted to you for providing an understanding of the house, in regard to its history and objectives. Of course you lingered over so many beautiful details. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful video. In 1997 my husbanded I bought a 1967 pattern book MCM, raised our family there and restored it over 24 years. When we downsized in 2021 we sold it and built a new house in western Massachusetts in the foothills of the Berkshires. We worked with a fantastic local architect. As I sit in my new house watching this video I easily see the legacy of Charles and Ray Eames in our design.
I’ve been in this house for a tour. What’s most amazing to me is it still has all their stuff there; books, drawing tables, pillows, all the little souvenirs Mrs Eames brought back from traveling, as if they’re still living there. Also the lot is huge; they’re in their own private forest in the middle of Los Angeles... and then you walk to the edge and all of a sudden the pacific ocean explodes before you
In the early 90's I walked down to the house from the road above/behind it. I was surprised how many of their belongings were left outside. Your video is fantastic, but there is a feeling you get when actually there that is indescribable. Especially when you are alone.
Thank you very much for the tour, you are doing a great job!
Jop Cornelis has got to be the world's best expositor of Mid-Century American Architecture. To me, Jop's voice is synonymous with the movement. Eames House & Studio comes to life under Jop's curatorship, and I for one felt I like I now knew the Eames personally. I ever I am so lucky as to get to visit, Jop's voice will guide my ruminations as I meander through this iconic artscape.
It feels so different from Lautner's designs, and yet it still embraces a real, organic quality, like Lautner's houses do. You can practically feel that the architect was orientating his entire design around the perspective of the future inhabitants, creating a "living space" in a double sense. A space where people can live, and also a space that seems to be alive and warm even on its own. Thank you, Jop!
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Thank you for your hard work on the videos. I look forward to them.
Wonderful, thank you so much for producing this!
Thank you for your channel. I love seeing the way these buildings are structured and built. I know all this must take time, so please know your efforts are very much appreciated.
