That's very dedicated and clever of you to provide a walk through from published photographs. Wonderful result - I hope it was very worthwhile from your point of view, as it is from mine!
How fascinating that Kaufmann commissioned and owned both masterpieces. I'm kinda jealous. I love both Wright's house and Neutra's houses.
Mid century modern speaks to me. It is serene, exciting and relaxing at once. I love it.
This is a masterful presentation, especially since you didn't have access to the home. Thank you for making this.
Without a doubt I would choose Fallingwater. It still fascinates me no matter how many times I see it. However, there is a lot to like here, too, and would be for anyone who likes a simpler design which also incorporates the outside. Either way, these architects are to be admired for bringing beauty to the world. Thank you, Jop, as always.
Another amazing video presentation from you, thank you so much yet again. The Palm Springs Modernist architecture is that beautiful blend of the international and organic architectural styles that is so appealing. The Kaufman House in Palm Springs is at the top of that Desert architectural movement for that era. Well done my friend! G
Thanks for bringing another masterpiece to us architecture junkies. Greatly appreciated.
It is NOY-TRA. The home is next to Jack Benny's home and just a few blocks from Alan Ladd, Edgar Bergen and the Elvis honeymoon house.
thank you for all the time you spent making this! I found it fascinating and entertaining. I especially enjoyed your commentary about the architectural features and the detailed layout illustrations and your explanations of them.
A beautiful video for relaxing and learning about the fabulous architecture 👍
This is one of your best presentations! Every aspect of the house's design, layout and features are perfectly concisely given. Because the Kaufmann house is so beautifully sited and laid out to capture distant 'borrowed views,' I never knew it sat in a densely built up area. Rather like the transcendent Katsura villa in Kyoto. I'd venture to say the luxurious Kaufmann house is the representative soul of a kind of post-war ideal of California living where sound design and mass production are a bridge to nature for the benefit of everyone.
The influence on architecture today is very apparent! When first looking at this house I saw so many elements that are now copied often here on the west coast. Like the horizontal lines using stone walls and floor to ceiling glass corners interfacing with pools and gardens. The louvres and the gloriette are very common now in high end architecture. Interesting that these 2 iconic houses from 2 of the most influential architects where both commissioned by the same person!
Love this music and narrators voice😊
Your videos are so professional! You are improving the quality so much. I'm really in awe in front of your great work.
This is my favourite house! Thank you so much for this detailed guide, John! I love the elegant simplicity of Neutra's houses, and they seem to sit lightly on the earth. Falling Waters is certainly a magnificent building, and FLW was a masterful pioneer, to be sure, but a lot of Wright's work, to me, seems heavy and too detailed, though I appreciate his absorption of the Japanese horizontal line. But I disagree with FLWright's assessment that Neutra's houses were "cheap and thin". I can see in Neutra's work a more profound and instinctive *spirit of Zen*, making them much easier to "live" in; and they are, by his own intent, more "healing".
Always a pleasure to see you post. Thank you for sharing!
Very well done. I very much appreciate the interior photographs, Thank you.
Great architecture ❤
This is the best piece I've seen on the Desert House. Thank you!
