Tolstoy House by John Lautner. Complete overview and walkthrough 

Yes I agree with you. Somebody should restore this house into ti's full glory.

okay very interesting! I never would come up with that association, But now you mentioned it, I can see it! Together with the recording studio I don't know wether the similarity is just coinscedence or not, but still a great idea.

@@SuperJobbel Thanks for all your videos by the way. I'd never known about Lautner before. I've learned a lot!

@@jlworrad Yes check the other videos he's truly a brilliant architect. More videos coming up.

Yes this is a very good design. A bit unusual for Lautner's standard. I like it the house, however it's not my favorite

@@SuperJobbel Do you know if it is still standing?

@@madamemarmot yes it's still existing

Yes this house is a perfect example of good vegetative coverings. I hope that through my video this house, will get more attention.

Its my goal with this channel to show also the unknown designs by Lautner.

The channel is starting again with new videos. A new video about Fallingwater by F.L Wright is just available, after this more videos about the works by Lautner and Wright will come up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2CjANCkhfHI.html

Yes, if I owned the property I would reinstall the circular pool. I hope it will save to.

You're absolutely right. John de la Vaux was a major contributor to John Lautner's body of work. He helped building the walls and the steel cables. The Tolstoy family built the rest of the house by themselves.

@Brian Smith, thank you for that information.

Thx for the info

You're welcome!! Thank you for admiration :) I love the works by John Lautner, each house is unique and brilliant. And yes his works are underrated. I love to make this videos and share his designs with other people. I started the channeld because there was very little information available about his houses. My goal is to make a video about every important house by Lautner. I have still 11 videos to go.

Totally agree. He’s my favourite architect.

After a few months in which I had it very busy with my job and private life, the channel is starting again with new videos! A new video about Fallingwater by F.L Wright is just available, after this more videos about the works by Lautner and Wright will come up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2CjANCkhfHI.html Enjoy!

O great that you knew the Tolstoy family in person. And yes the house should be renovated soon.

You're welcome I love unusual architecture and I love the works by John Lautner. Stay tuned becuase more videos will come up.

אתה מוזמן, סרטונים נוספים יגיעו! :)

מחכה בקוצר רוח.....

Thank you! More videos coming your way.

Youd should do! The road towards the house is named after it: Tolstoy Road.

@@SuperJobbel have you visited his creations? Never realize he did a lot here in southern California

Absolutely! :)

This house suits the Florida climate very well. I live in the Netherlands, this house is suitable for that climate.

You're wecome! Yes I also hope it will be restored in its full glory. :)

Yes, it can become very hot in the desert.

I'm jealous at you, ironically: I made a video about the house but never saw it in reality. I've visited some other houses by Lautner, but not this one!

Yes, I hope that this unique house is going to be maintained by some architecture lover, but unfortunately I don't have the phone number of Kelly Lynch of mr. Goldstein. John Lautner's work is full of surprises so more videos about unknown gems will come up

I love John Lautner's work he's a very Creator man I love his work

Okay, an art gallery or a restaurant is also a great option for this house, i dodn't how many bugs there are in the desert. And yes it's indeed a very different thinking designed home! Good to hear that you liked the video so much.

Wow great to hear, that you appirciate my videos so much. Thank You! I will keep on making these videos although it's a lot of hard work.

The channel is starting again with new videos. A new video about Fallingwater by F.L Wright is just available, after this more videos about the works by Lautner and Wright will come up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2CjANCkhfHI.html A second video about Neutra's Kaufmann house will be uploaded soon :)

Ehm... I don't know wether those cables have to be adjusted or not. I don't think so , because they are very thick. In the hot and dy desert climate they rust not so fast. Once in a few decades they have to replaced however. Great to hear that you was waiting for this house, because not so many people this design. Its a very unknown Lautner design.

Hahaha....I didn't have those in school! So I doesn't remind of that, but funny that everyone has his own association with the design.

Yes, I will hope they watch this video. ;) !

Yes hopefully it will be restored someday because it deserved to be preserved.

Graag gedaan! .... And yes, I agree with you, the house needs an interior designer to restyle the interior..... :)

Hey dear viewer ;) The names of the sogns that I used for this video are: ''Lucky Morning free guitar music'' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nQOG9r0yq0A.html ''Almost Heaven'' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hfc6-Y3Ol48.html and Burning Flame slow country music ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nF4hHRRfIo8.html So it were actually three songs in the background!

@@SuperJobbel Thank you, the pressure in mine :)

That's a good idea of yours! I think the house is more suitable for weddings and guests, because it exist of multiple segregated livingspaces.

Yes the inside is a little bit dated nowadays. It needs a renovation.

Graag gedaan! De meeste huizen van John Lautner hebben geen rechte lijnen, kijk maar naar m'n andere videos. Ik ben bezig aan het maken van een docuementaire over Launer, die ga ik zeker ondertitelen. Ik heb ervoor gekozen om deze films niet te ondertitelen omdat de titels dan over de tekeningen komen en de details op de tekeningen en foto's niet meer goed zichtbaar zijn. Haha! Is m'n trouwens echt zo slecht?

@@SuperJobbel Omdat ik zelf geen video's maak weet ik niet helemaal hoe het werkt, maar ondertitels zijn toch optioneel? Die kan je aan- en afzetten. Dus als het iemand zou storen dan zet hij/zij die gewoon af. De ondertitels die je automatisch door RU-vid kan laten genereren bevatten weinig fouten, dus volgens RU-vid valt het goed mee met je accent (en volgens mij ook hoor). Grammaticale fouten/taalfouten kan je vermijden door de tekst vooraf te laten nalezen door een Engelstalige. Zo sluiten de video's beter aan bij het doelpubliek. Ik ga nu de rest van jouw video's bekijken. Ze zijn erg boeiend. Dank daarvoor.

@@jacquesmertens3369 okay ja ik zie het nu ook, je kan het idd ook uitzetten. Voor mijn volgende video over het Fallibgwater House van F. L Wright ga ik ondertiteling doen. Misschien dat ik later alle films van ondertiteling ga voorzien. Bedankt!

ik ben weer begonnen met het maken van nieuwe videos. De eerste video over het Fallingwater huis van F.L Wright is inmiddels beschikbaar. Met 40 minuten is een lange video geworden, maar deze video laat alles zien over het huis: geschiedenis, constructie en complete doorloop van het interieur. Na deze video komen weer meer videos over de werken van Lautner en Wright. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2CjANCkhfHI.html

Maybe I'll do it some day. But i'm now busy with another 10 different houses. So first I'll do those. Each video takes a lot of time.

Yes, its indeed like a pavillion. And I love Japanese Gardens so for me it would be a great choice to add a Japanese Garden to the house

Yes, the house needs some restoration and refurbishing. A change of materials would be a great idea.

Are you sure? Maybe you're right but as far as I know, only the Garwood house was owned by Chris Martin and demolished. I made a video about that house: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1o7m7EznxYI.html

@@SuperJobbel I’m totally wrong! You’re right, it was the Garwood house. That’s my mistake. 😊 (I just watched your other video. I definitely should have watched it before making a dumb, uninformed comment. Lol) A shame it’s gone.

Yes I already thoug so, the Tolstoy House is still existing today. The Garwood House was also a nice house, sad it's demolished. @@thepolitewierdo

Yes, this house is not everybodies favorite. As far there is only one client for this house, because thereare no other similar homes. I like the house a bit, but I don't think it's worth to be shot by your wife for it ;) haha

Yes, it's not for everybody. It's a matter of taste, of course. Everyone has it's least favorite house by Lautner and even a brilliant archtiect like him can not always please everyone.
