Exploring John Lautner's Restored Pearlman Cabin in Idyllwild, California | House Tour

- In the 1950s, Dr. Carl Kenneth and Agnes Branch Pearlman sought a holiday retreat, drawn by their love for the arts. They settled on Idyllwyd, a charming community, to build their family getaway. Discovering a challenging parcel of land, Agnes enlisted architect John Lautner to design the home, as other architects were either unavailable or uninterested in the site's complexities. Inspired by the round table in the main living area, Agnes envisioned an organic architecture that seamlessly blended with the lush surroundings.
Constructed over a year by Nancy's brother, the home became a cherished gathering place for the Pearlman family and their guests, who reveled in art and creativity amidst the Idyllwild landscape. Following her parents' passing, Nancy took on the responsibility of preserving and sharing the home, hosting yearly gatherings to honor its legacy.
Nancy hopes that The Pearlman Cabin will endure through generations, a testament to her family's enduring love for art and nature.

What a story! Thank you Nancy for sharing it with us! 😊
Doesn’t get much better than this folks
Don't think I've ever seen floor to ceiling logs like that which fit in such big windows, lovely
Not sure I’ve ever seen this done before myself…taking organic architecture to another level
beautiful. I can't imagine having a second home, let alone one like this. The things that they were building back in this era everywhere were amazing.
this is what true architectural preservation looks like. somebody who cares about integrity and fights for whats right, not what's the "cheaper option". keeping architecture true to form is expensive but its worth it because you are preserving history.
and often times especially in mcm its not that much more expesnive because they of course used more accessible, sturdy and most likely cheaper materials to begin with - i just wonder where to get ppl that still can do it the way it was done, are there still mcm(-inspired) builders/architects around?
@foxwilliamulder. The hypocrisy at its finest. How could you know what '' true'' architectural ''preservation'' looks like? You are so biased. By the way I doubt you know her personally. You are just watching a video on UA-cam. You absolutely know NOTHING about what really happens behind the scenes. It seems that you do think that people are ''real'' or ''true'' when it suits you.
My parents knew your parents. It’s a great house. Lautner was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Ken Kellogg also worked under Wright. He designed the Chart House down the street and my parents house above High Castle. Your house is terrific.
SO BEAUTIFUL
Such a treat to see. A national treasure indeed.
Props to the Pomona students for getting the house on the historical registry!
Bravo to Nancy for wanting to keep this gem as original as possible! 👍
What a unique and lovely home! I enjoyed listening to Nancy tell its story, and appreciate her desire to keep things as originally designed and intended.
What a dream! I am of your same belief...preserve-preserve-preserve. Btw., I have the same name as your darling mom and, similar personalities. I am thrilled your video showed up in my feed.
Love this house, Great video!
This woman's intense-ness in the interview/ narration distracts from the home imho lol
Really glad you guys shot a video here, I am a big fan of both Lautner and this house
edit: also really glad the house is in great hands
Beautiful Place and great video!
Stunning!
The is the best OpenSpace episode so far!
I winter camped in Idyllwild. Beautiful area. The background music is painful droning
Thank you so much for filming this and to Nancy for allowing us all to see such a special, beautiful place. Her laudable efforts to preserve it haven't made it feel stuck in the past or museum-like. It really feels like a warm, artistic, lived-in home but one with exceptional qualities and in an exceptional setting. Just lovely.
Love her take on the original design being kept, it's got me wondering if an original design aspect is structurally faulty, should it be changed for the long lasting sake of the house? So that money doesn't have to be thrown on it to fix every time the fault appears which is likely to be a lot over time?
What a Home!
Wow! This made me tear up because it was so beautiful! I'm glad she's keeping it in the family. I'd hate for some celebrity to get a hold of it and totally destroy its ruff hewn patina aka character. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful legacy, thank you for sharing your home
I love the story telling in all your films as it makes you fall in love with mid-century homes. This is simply stunning!!!!
I love how she's so proud of this place and how the parents and family where involved in it, beautiful
👏
Thank you for this. It would be very interesting to see the rest of the house as well, bathroom included. It's never shown, not even in the several Lautner books I own.
We need that passion in our lives. Thanks Nancy you r awesome
Wow, everything about this is perfect.
Great house, and good on you for preserving it so well! I was born in Idyllwild and spent the first 7 years of my life there. Was a very different place, then, although your house was there and I never even knew about it. Wish I had!
Can’t wait to see it!
Same! 😊
pure fantasy. love it!
Beautiful. Thank you.
It's a captivating ode to architectural innovation and a reminder of the transformative power of design in perfect harmony with its environment. 💚💚
Amazing❤
Beautiful!
Is this house ever open for tours? 46 year old Gamble House docent😊
Stunning. I would like to see the private spaces though.

What a fantastic home, I love the big windows combining the interior house with the woods. Must be magical to live in there.
One thing that bugged me: if you get such an extraordinary house just for vacation and even have superb looking oil paintings done of yourself, you aren't middle class. I wonder why so many upper class people take shame in "admitting" it.
I love her enthusiasm
Lack of medical or I would move.
For such a valuable house, I'd think there'd be a little more clear space around it to protect it from wildfires.
Beautiful place. The woman sounds slightly obnoxious, but I guess that comes with the being American part.
I bet she has 17 cats.
