Yes, I will make a whole series about many different designs by Neutra. But before that I will first finish the serie of John Lautner designs, so my next videos (that will uploaded the coming few weeks) will be about John Lautner homes.
Thank you, your comment stimulates me to go on! Yes, I try the improve the my videos each time. Working harder to get better quality. These houses deserve it to come to alive on youtube. More content will be uploaded soon.
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!
Yes I really liked to make this video. More videos about the houses by Richard Neutra, made in the same way, will come up. I already made many videos about F.L Wright and John Lautner on this channel. Lautner is my favorite architect hence the name of this channel.
Thank you very much for calling my presentation, masterful. Great to read that you liked the video. You're welcome, it's a lot of work but I like making these videos. More content coming up!
@@SuperJobbel Yes, I can see it's a tremendous amount of work and you brought up some interesting points, like the house actually being located in a densely-populated area, and the house really being composed of several separate buildings interconnected by walkways. I've see the home from the street and there's not much to see. There's a lot more to that house than I ever realized. Keep up the great work!
You're welcome! great that you liked the video.More videos will come up. Also about Neutra. But also about Lautner, F.L Wright and the Case Study Houses. @@joevarga5982
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
Thank you my friend! I agree with you: its the combination between organic archtecture and internation style that makes the Palm Springs Desert Modernism so interesting. The Kaufmann House, is one of my favorite homes. More videos about Lautner, Neutra and FLW will come up.
"The Palm Springs Modernist architecture is that beautiful blend of the international and organic architectural styles that is so appealing." I couldn't have said it better my friend. The bright white reflects the intensity of the desert heat, combined with tans, greens, browns, and other neutral colors are done so artfully in Palm Springs.
Brilliant. This Kaufmann House by Neutra is my favorite house in the world. I was born and raised in So Cal. My family lives in Indio and Palm Springs. I'm an artist and I now live in NYC. I love the east coast and I love the four seasons. I miss the Pacific Ocean, however, and I dream of swimming every day. There is another dream that reigns supreme above all others. I've always said, my whole life, that I would give up my life in NY and forgo the Pacific Ocean if... I could live in the Kaufmann house, this Kaufmann house.
Great dreams you have. I know what you feeling because I also love the sun and swimming pools. Maybe you can buy the house some day, or built a similar house for yourself.
@@SuperJobbel Thank you for the reply. Ahh, the sun and water. The stuff of life. To swim with wild dolphins in the deep blue sea... but that's another video. For me, the Kaufmann House is as singular as a Vermeer or a Rothko. The pool house, however, by Marmol & Radziner is an abomination, a mustache on DaVinci's Mona Lisa.
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!
The house was very influential for it's time. Indeed very interesting that Kaufmann both commisioned the two most infleuntial houses in the 20th century.
It's pronounced NOYTRA or NOITRA. My father worked with Mr. Neutra in LA in the mid-fifties. Mr. Neutra was often a guest for dinner. Dad, Richard R. Stadelman AIA, went from Studying with Wright at Taliesin to working with Neutra.
Yes I know now that its pronounced Noitra. I didn't knew that at te time I made the video, my apologies if I ever offended anyone with that mistake: in every new video I will pronounce the name correctly. Great that your father both knew Neutra and Wright, lucky man he was!
Thanks for creating this. It's such a treat to look around a house which I will probably never be able to visit but which holds so much delight and value as an example of desert architecture. Your tour gives a vivid sense of the space and what it would feel like to be there. I feel like inviting David Hockney around for cocktails.
Hahaha...I really like the paintings by David Hockney so I would like to drink a cocktail with him, especially in this house! I make these videos because I want to give people the feeling that they actually have visited houses that they could visited in reality. So your reaction is exactly what I want to achieve. Stay tuned mroe videos will come up!
Thank you for your appriciation! Your reaction is what I want: that people get the feeling of walking through the houses and think they have visit them. I started this channel because it was so difficult to look inside the houses: most of them are not open for public and it's hard to find pictures and flooplanes on the internet. Stay tuned : more videos about John Lautner, F.L wright and Richard Neutra will come up! :)
Good to hear that you liked the video. I wanted to make the most compelte overview of the house. Many more videos about John Lautner, F.L Wright and Richard Neutra will come up.
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.
Very good description of yours: its indeed the ultimate California lifestyle luxury house. I never heard of the Katsura Villa in Kyoto so I'll check it out! Great that you liked the video so much. It's a surprise to many people that the house is located in tense populated area.
So damn fabulous I dont even know where to begin. It shows you how good design was back then. We dont get this kind of well thought out living anymore.
Back in the days architects had more creative freedom because there were less building restrictions and less limitations. Architecture was also more sophisticated back then, nowadays the house are larger and more pompeous. I love to show the old masterpieces in my videos.
Thank you very much for your appriciation. Good to hear that you are inspired by the videos because that stimulates me to make more new videos. I try to improve the videos each time and setting new quality standards for the channel. New content will come up soon.
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".
Interesting to read your desciption of Neutra's work. I agree that Neutra's work is more zen and more livable, and that Wright's work feels more heavier. Still I think Wright has a larger diversity in his boby of work, he has made many designs that all look very different, while Neutra's designs look very similar. Anyway both architects are billiant, so it's'always hard to choose. Personally would prefer to live in Palm Sprins but Fallingwater is more interesting.
Yes, I think you’re right, John. Neutra’s work was certainly “Neutra”, though I do love it. And Wright had an extensive career that opened the door to considering nature in architecture. Where Wright came from, his time as a young architect, certainly attests to his genius in breaking the old moulds. And Wright took on a lot of very large projects. But, yes, I’d rather live in a Neutra - but that’s my personal taste (I do lean more towards Japanese aesthetics)…. Plus I live in Australia, and our newer homes (since the 1970s) are very much indoor-outdoor experiences with large expanses of glass.
Well done Sir! This has to be one of the finest architectural tours I’ve been on. Felt like I was walking behind a great tour guide. Not to stir up any trouble or anything, but did anyone else see a swasticka (I don’t know how to spell the damn word) when looked at from above? The background music was a perfect choice as well.
Great to hear that you liked the tour! Your comment stimulates me to make more videos. Yes, you're not he first one who sees a Swastika in the floorplan of the house, but hence Neutra was a Jewish architect, the Swastika must accidental. Also great tat you liked the bakcground music, it always difficult to choose the rigth music.
What an excellent documentary. Thank you for spending the time to make such a clear, understandable show of this house. The design is beautiful and so much better than Fallingwater, which is attractive from the outside but unpleasantly cave-like inside. It appears that this house may also have solved the chronic water leak problems that plague Wright's designs. Neutra achieved design drama with practicality, which Wright did not.
Thank you Lisa! :) your comment stimulates me to make more videos! I like to make the videos as clear and understandable as possible, it takes a lot of time but I love doing it. So great to read that you like it. I also prefer to live Neutra's design, but the houses by Wright are more interesting: they have more unusual features and each design by Wright while the designs by Neutra were more similar. However John Lautner remaines my all time favorite.
Thank you, as with everything in life: it's a matter of practice. This video sets the new quality standard for me.Check also my video about the Fallingwater House by Frank Lloyd Wright, which has the same quality.
great history here and your video with animations added to the layout of this lovely home are fantastic. Well done. I prefer the Kaufmann house for certain.
Thanks for your comment. Great that you liked the video. I prefer this house also over Fallingwater. I'm currently busy with a new video about Neutra's Case Study House 20.
I don't know but for me The Bauhaus building is extremely beautiful. I always liked German Architecture so much specially the work of Walter Gropius. I am a parametric architect designer. I'm fully aware of Lloyd work and Neutra's approach. I do appreciate that the classics are analyzed again. We parametric architects must review these projects and their ideas especially the international style.
I have visited the Bauhaus school building a few times and I really like it. Wether you design organic architecture or international style, it's always interesting to study one of the styles.
Thanks, I always want to make the a complete overview of each house. Showing the entire lay out with every detail. I love to explore the masterpieces made by such brilliant architects. Really great to read that so many like the videos. More videos will come up.
You're welcome. I like to make the videos as complete as possible, showing all the details. It's a lot of work but I like doing it. More videos about F.L Wright, Neutra, John Lautner and Case Study Houses will come up.
Thanks for your great videos, as usual they are well researched and simply presented with colour coding . Love this house !! , had the pleasure to visit Palm Springs a few years back and stood outside this place. Wright was certainly clever if not arrogant , Neutra however was on the next level , using large glass and steel to its full potential . Keep up the great work. - cheers form Brisbane
Great to hear that you like the video so much. I want to make the videos so complete and clearly explained as possible, so it's good to read that i have succeeded in doing that. I both love Wright, Neutra and Lautner and simply choose which one is my favorite architect! Cheers from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Your description explains the house's subtle complexities and the architect's intelligent vision. Possibly the architect suggested to the owner: "Spend a little more on adjacent parcels of land, and this will lower the building costs, while creating the illusion of an isolated house in the desert."
I don't know for sure, but I gues that is likely what had happened. Good to hear that you liked the video so much ;) The house is definitely an intellegent design.
According to a Palm Springs architecture tour guide, the Kaufman home was going to have another home actually built by Frank Lloyd Wright behind it that was going to be massive. This was to be built by Kaufman‘s wife who committed suicide and the plans were not completed, and then a different home was built by Zsa Zsa Gabor instead.
Another great video! I love this style of house. I've always wondered why there aren't more new houses designed with a creative open style like this. It can't just be a cost issue. Everything built nowadays is all the same almost, just boring cookie cutter box house developments 14 feet next to each other.
I agree that I wish we saw houses designed like this today. As an architect who loves modern design I would love to have the freedom to design like this. There are a a lot more hurdles with such design in our time. One of biggest issues today is due to energy building codes. They make it very difficult to have that much glass and meet energy saving restrictions. Also this style is incredibly unforgiving to execute. The way materials are brought together seamlessly takes a great care of craftsmanship. Also, back then nearly everything was custom built for the specific project. Nowadays it is difficult to find craftsman who will do custom windows, custom exterior finishes, etc. And even if you do it is hard to pass building code inspectors that want all the elements certified to meet energy and construction standards. Sorry to get so verbose,.
@@ronkyville Thanks for your detailed and informed explanation, nonetheless I'd challenge your statement. I've remodeled an older 70's contemporary house with large clerestory windows and an enclosed courtyard with large windows 6' x 6' plus large french doors. Heating and cooling costs have been lowered relative to prior single pane aluminum framed windows. All new thermal windows with low E glass coatings have actually lowered our energy costs. In updating the building I've added a lot of new insulation and used foil-backed thermal roof decking which has lowered heat gain and loss from the roof. I've investigated a lot of materials for new buildings that allow for lots of glass that can be built and pass building codes. On the craftsmanship issue I am in whole agreement. I had to do and supervise a lot of the work to ensure quality standards that are not evident in modern construction unless you are paying for a premium custom built structure. Obviously if you have the money it can be built.
Those cookie cutter tracts are built that way for a couple of reasons - and cost is very much a huge component. First, there are indeed huge cost savings when everything can be ordered in mass quantities because it's all standardized and the same components are used in all of the houses. Second, although some may be designed by architects, many are actually "designed" (a word I use loosely here) by the builders themselves - who are *very* rarely actually trained in architecture. It's not usually the best architects designing them even when they *are* part of the process, either; the best are doing private commissions, not tract houses of any size. Finally, the close proximity is also very much about cost savings and maximizing profit by fitting as many houses as possible onto the available land. There are actually many extremely talented architects working today, whose work would take your breath away just as much as these masterpieces. The houses they design are not always visible when you drive down the street, though, because they're often tucked behind walls, tall hedges, down long driveways, on very large lots, well above or below street level, etc. - intentionally very private. Read professional magazines such as Architectural Record and others and you'll start finding them.
well, both houses are absolutely EXTRAordinary.. that being said, my soul is completely captured by FLW’s Falling Water .. a poetic, passionate masterpiece ❣️❣️
I can tell you that I love FLW, but not all of his works... I prefer his later works from 1930 or so, onward. Although, I am familiar with Richard Neutra, I am not as familiar with his works, but have always known about this house. I have to say, your video is very informative, and with the location taken into consideration (which plays a significant role in my decision "for") I would much prefer the Neutra house to the other Kaufmann house in Pennsylvania, which I have visited. I would love to see this one, and if it were possible, to stay there overnight!
Thanks for your comment. Both Neutra and Wright were brilliant. Personally I find Wright his designs more interesting and more facinating to make videos about, but Neutra is the archtiect I would prefer to live in. Indeed I would love to spend the night in this house. Great that you liked the video, more content about Lautner, Wright, Neutra and Case Study House will come up soon.
This house looks almost exactly like a section of the elementary school that I attended when I was a kid. I looked at the thumbnail and thought I was looking at my school but such a nifty house.
I have been to Modernism Week in Palm Springs and I always hope this house will be on the tour. They did have an LA one on the tour in 2022. Maybe one day this house will have tours 🤞🤞
Thank you for your, work. There is no way a person could choose between the two. You clearly need to be as wealthy and established as Mr. Kaufman to simply have, both.🙂
0:08 ... The white horizontal lines of the house, the white vertical lines of the pool going to the mountains and the sky, the blue of the sky reflecting on the blue water of the pool, the palm trees in the sky... It's like being in a Monet painting ! This is an impressionist painting ! This is art ! An american impressionist painting like in the end of the XIXth and the beginning of the XXth century in the suburb of Paris....
For the past 40 years there has been a type of desert architecture in Phoenix that has become astonishing, diverse and in many cases stunningly unique. Some names like Bruder, Fairbourne, Burdett and the Jones Brothers come to mind as torchbearers of this new “school”. Someone will eventually expose these diamonds in the sand.
I’m lucky to live in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles where there many Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright houses to tour. Two houses, the Hollyhock House & Neutra Residence are in different Public Parks where you can sit and admire all day, everyday.
I’m sorry to say you have mispronounced the name Neutra. It is a German name and is always pronounced Noytra. I love him too. My son is his great grandson. I was happy to meet and visit with Diona Neutra, Richard’s wife, Dion Neutra, his son, and his grandson, Greg Neutra and I have two beautiful, wonderful children together, though we live apart. I have been inside two of his houses and as great as they are from the outside, the insides are a magical experience, hard to describe, but it is experiencing great art. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes I realised that you pronounce the name differently shortly after I uploaded the video. I speak German and knew that you pronounce the word Neu as Noy and that it means New. However I thought that Neutra had "Americanised'' as what is common with most European people who immigrate to the US. Nice story about your family btw.
I thought you might be German and was nervous to tell you how to pronounce German! Yes, some people here who don’t know of Richard mispronounce Neutra. Happens to my children a lot. But thanks again for your video, being able to see the house in detail.
@@patriciajoubert426 I live in the Netherlands and the Dutch language is very similar to German. Therefore I speak German. Good to hear that you liked the video so much. I'm gonna make more video's about houses by Neutra in the future.
I noticed the running time of the video, 19:46, the same as the year the house was commissioned. Was this due to careful planning or a sign from the cosmos that you had made the video just right?
Okay hahaha! I didn't notice that myself. No that was just a coinscedence ...... So I guess it must be a sign from the cosmoss :) .. Its how funny how coinscedence can make your videos better and more interesting. Thank you!
Clean, clear, rational design, but too box-like for my own taste. I definitely prefer Wright and Lautner, but many thanks for another great tour, very well done!
''Box Boys'' that was the phrase that John Lautner and Frank Lloyd Wright used to describe archtiects like Van Der Rohe and Neutra. Indeed Neutra the work is considered by many as clean and straight lined. Although I love the work by Neutra, I also prefer the designs by Lautner and Wright because it's so diverse: each house is different. While Neutra work is more formulaic, still its interesting: so more videos about Neutra will show up on this channel.
Great Video, many photos and explanations, a few corrections. Edgar J Kauffman did not established the Kauffman department store, would be interesting to add how Neutra planned the sun movements with the overhangs to allow winter sun and block the summer sun. FLLW despised the International Style however we can see that the techniques and effects both use are practically the same, in this case I believe Neutra surpasses Wright. Kauffman was a merchant and he always had business in his mind. Taking into account that the plot was less than ideal Neutra achieved the elevation with the gloriette, genius. Trully a masterpiece, in terms of living I would do the same as Kauffman and Wright himself did, summer in Bear Run and winter in Palm Springs
Again thank you for your feedback! I'm learning a lot from you. - I thought that Edard Kaufmann was the founder of the store, but indeed he wasn't: so that's a mistake of mine. _ I was not aware that the cantileverings were designed to block summer sun and to block the winter sun. Interesting! To bad that I didn't knew that, otherwise I would included it in the video. - Yes, I knew that techniques and effects of the international style and organic archtiecture are similar. However I believe that Neutra made more minimalistic designs than Wright. I knew that Wrigh despised the international style but I excluded it from the video because otherwise the video would be to long. -I would love to live in both Bear Run and Palm Srings.
We had a condo in PS, used to enjoy looking at this masterpiece, we were told that in more recent years it was owned by Barry Manilow, one reason he sold it was the lack of privacy.
Yes, it indeed was owned sometime by Barry Manilow. I can imagine that such a famous attract a lot architecture geeks like us, and that not desirable for a famous singers who spends his vacation there.
Your videos turning up on my notifications is always an absolute treat. Thanks once again! Any chance of looking at the Stahl House by Pierre Koenig? It’s in a couple episodes of Columbo and various other programmes and I’d love to know more.
Yes, I currently busy with making a video about the Case Study House 22 / Stahl House ! And yes the Stahl house was used in the first Columbo episode. Each video is a lot of work, so it will takes some time before the video will finished. But stay tuned and your wish will be fullfilled. :)
Given the choice I would live in Palm Springs. I have vacationed many times in PS and love it there. Falling Waters is an absolute masterpiece and while an amazing it is just not my preferred style. Yes, it does get hot in PS but it is what I prefer. I have had the pleasure of renting several Mid-Century homes there and know where I would buy if I had the means.
It was a while ago when I made this video so I was already forgot which music I had used: I had to search it, so therefore a later reaction of me: The songs that I used are: ua-cam.com/video/dkO109Y-U2E/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8Qui6mVLIfI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/q8tMR4qzzKo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GEsEGUgpY9E/v-deo.html Enjoy!
Another case where house and location are perfectly matched. If this house and falling water were switched, neither one would work with their environment and would not be considered the masterpieces they are today.
The shutters are clever, but I wonder how reliable their operation is, particularly over decades of use? I also wonder if they’re quiet or if they rattle when the winds blow? Clever, nonetheless. :)
The shutters are just closed manually with one steel handle for all the shutters together. The steel handle is a horziontal rod in the middle, as you can see on 10:45 and 10:49 . I think the shutters hardly make any sound. I dont know how reliable they are, obviously they need some maintance once in a while.
Tremenda casa, solo criticaría o agregaría un mueble integrado al detalle de piso, cabecera y cielo (que sea semi abierto, como repisas) del dormitorio principal de tal forma que el TV estuviera más cerca de la cama y que se pudiera girar 180⁰ para ubicar una pequeña sala si quiero ver televisión sentado del lado donde está el sillón...lástima no poder enseñarnos el área de servicio...pero en general es un proyectazo.¡Felicidades al Arq. Pizarro! Saludos a Cota y que mencione que tiene un seguidor desde tierras catrachas 🇭🇳
Gracias por tu bonito mensaje. Agradable hablar con alguien de Honduras. Tienes una buena visión sobre cómo se deben colocar los muebles. Saludos desde Holanda y más videos próximamente.
Okay, thank you, great that you like the videos. I shall say shade the next time, I try to improve my English in every video. It's still a learning process for me.
Ehm... interesting! I will search it and try to find it out because I don't know the exact measurements myself. I know that the internal living space measures 3162 feet and the entire property measures 2,18 acres.
תודה על עוד סרטון מדהים, וכיף שאתה מתרחב לעוד אדריכלים מודרניים, זה ממש מעניין איך שני האדריכלים מאוד רוצים חיבור עם הטבע משתמשים בצורות מרובעות אבל אחד מראה איך האדם הכי נעלה בטבע והשני מתמזג עם הטבע לגבי השאלה בסוף הלוואי ויכולתי להרשות לעצמי אפילו את החניה של אחד מהם....
Haha.... Yes.. It keeps me also awake! :) I like the Palm Sprigs Climate very much, so that influences my preference for this house. But Fallingwater is my favorite in terms of design.
Ok the easiest question ever asked, at the end of the video: "Which one would you prefer to live in?" Wright's, or Neutra's? Actually, as I was enterting the architecture faculty, I've been huge fan of everything Frank L. Wright. Then I went thru my Corbusier (and Czechoslovak functionalism) era, as everyone around me. I'm 53 now, and I firmly landed at Neutra's Casa Kaufmann. Anybody else would go through a similar evolution? :)
the fact that Edgar was born in 1885 , and his homes are still avant guard is mind blowing
Yes it is. His homes were miles ahead in time
.
How fascinating that Kaufmann commissioned and owned both masterpieces. I'm kinda jealous. I love both Wright's house and Neutra's houses.
Yes I guess every architecture lvoe would be jealous of Edgar Kaufmann, owning two masterpieces at the same time.
SAME. I was today years old when I realized that both houses belonged to Kaufmann.
I bow down to Neutra. If you did a series on Neutra I would be exceedingly happy 🙂.... and I'd watch all of them just like your Lautner videos 👌👌👌
Yes, I will make a whole series about many different designs by Neutra. But before that I will first finish the serie of John Lautner designs, so my next videos (that will uploaded the coming few weeks) will be about John Lautner homes.
thank you!
Yes, and also the other Austrian and class mate, Rudolph Schindler. Both were influenced by Wright but their individual styles diverged.
Mid century modern speaks to me. It is serene, exciting and relaxing at once. I love it.
Yes, the house has a clean peacefull atmosphere.
I live in an MCM. It’s all that…and a pain in the ass
I think that this is one of your best videos. You have made that famous house come alive for us. Well done!
Thank you, your comment stimulates me to go on! Yes, I try the improve the my videos each time. Working harder to get better quality. These houses deserve it to come to alive on youtube. More content will be uploaded soon.
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!
Yes I really liked to make this video. More videos about the houses by Richard Neutra, made in the same way, will come up. I already made many videos about F.L Wright and John Lautner on this channel. Lautner is my favorite architect hence the name of this channel.
This is a masterful presentation, especially since you didn't have access to the home. Thank you for making this.
Thank you very much for calling my presentation, masterful. Great to read that you liked the video. You're welcome, it's a lot of work but I like making these videos. More content coming up!

Both artist were amazing and brilliant in their unique way. Love both their work
100% agree
Enjoyed this. I do recall reading that Mr. Wright visited the home later on and said ‘it is beautiful’.
Oh I didn't knew that story.... Great that he finally admitted.
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
Thank you my friend! I agree with you: its the combination between organic archtecture and internation style that makes the Palm Springs Desert Modernism so interesting. The Kaufmann House, is one of my favorite homes. More videos about Lautner, Neutra and FLW will come up.
"The Palm Springs Modernist architecture is that beautiful blend of the international and organic architectural styles that is so appealing." I couldn't have said it better my friend. The bright white reflects the intensity of the desert heat, combined with tans, greens, browns, and other neutral colors are done so artfully in Palm Springs.
I'm in love with this house, it's a masterpiece 😍😍
Thanks for bringing another masterpiece to us architecture junkies. Greatly appreciated.
I've been to Taleisen West and I can't wait to see Falling Water. I photographed the Vidal Sassoon's Singleton/Neutra.
@@edwardduarte7393 Oh nice! I would love to make a videos about Singleton House and Taliesin West someday.
Brilliant. This Kaufmann House by Neutra is my favorite house in the world. I was born and raised in So Cal. My family lives in Indio and Palm Springs. I'm an artist and I now live in NYC. I love the east coast and I love the four seasons. I miss the Pacific Ocean, however, and I dream of swimming every day. There is another dream that reigns supreme above all others. I've always said, my whole life, that I would give up my life in NY and forgo the Pacific Ocean if... I could live in the Kaufmann house, this Kaufmann house.
Great dreams you have. I know what you feeling because I also love the sun and swimming pools. Maybe you can buy the house some day, or built a similar house for yourself.
@@SuperJobbel Thank you for the reply. Ahh, the sun and water. The stuff of life. To swim with wild dolphins in the deep blue sea... but that's another video. For me, the Kaufmann House is as singular as a Vermeer or a Rothko. The pool house, however, by Marmol & Radziner is an abomination, a mustache on DaVinci's Mona Lisa.
This is awesome! Thank you. And more Neutra feature videos, please!
Thank you, more Neutra videos will come up.
Beautifully designed by a visionary ...the architectures appears to be priceless works of art
Your absolutely right.
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!
The house was very influential for it's time. Indeed very interesting that Kaufmann both commisioned the two most infleuntial houses in the 20th century.
It's pronounced NOYTRA or NOITRA. My father worked with Mr. Neutra in LA in the mid-fifties. Mr. Neutra was often a guest for dinner. Dad, Richard R. Stadelman AIA, went from Studying with Wright at Taliesin to working with Neutra.
Yes I know now that its pronounced Noitra. I didn't knew that at te time I made the video, my apologies if I ever offended anyone with that mistake: in every new video I will pronounce the name correctly. Great that your father both knew Neutra and Wright, lucky man he was!
Richard Neutra! Thank you so much for creating this video.
Well done!🙂
Thanks! more videos about Neutra will come up, but first I will return to some videos about John Lautner and FLW homes.
Thanks for creating this. It's such a treat to look around a house which I will probably never be able to visit but which holds so much delight and value as an example of desert architecture. Your tour gives a vivid sense of the space and what it would feel like to be there. I feel like inviting David Hockney around for cocktails.
Hahaha...I really like the paintings by David Hockney so I would like to drink a cocktail with him, especially in this house! I make these videos because I want to give people the feeling that they actually have visited houses that they could visited in reality. So your reaction is exactly what I want to achieve. Stay tuned mroe videos will come up!
Fantastic, I look forward to them@@SuperJobbel 👍
LOVED THIS, thank you kindly! I have stood in front of this house, a few times. Now I feel as though I was there myself, bliss. Great work.
Thank you for your appriciation! Your reaction is what I want: that people get the feeling of walking through the houses and think they have visit them. I started this channel because it was so difficult to look inside the houses: most of them are not open for public and it's hard to find pictures and flooplanes on the internet. Stay tuned : more videos about John Lautner, F.L wright and Richard Neutra will come up! :)
Amazing video. I love this house and was excited when I saw the thumbnail. The effort into all of your videos is appreciated!!
Good to hear that you liked the video. I wanted to make the most compelte overview of the house. Many more videos about John Lautner, F.L Wright and Richard Neutra will come up.
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.
Very good description of yours: its indeed the ultimate California lifestyle luxury house. I never heard of the Katsura Villa in Kyoto so I'll check it out! Great that you liked the video so much. It's a surprise to many people that the house is located in tense populated area.
So damn fabulous I dont even know where to begin. It shows you how good design was back then. We dont get this kind of well thought out living anymore.
Back in the days architects had more creative freedom because there were less building restrictions and less limitations. Architecture was also more sophisticated back then, nowadays the house are larger and more pompeous. I love to show the old masterpieces in my videos.
Great video. Thank you. I love Lautner houses and seeing through them has been a real joy
Your videos are so professional! You are improving the quality so much. I'm really in awe in front of your great work.
Thank you. Yes, I want to improve the qaulity of the videos each time. Make them as porfessional as possible. It's a learning process for me.
This is a very well done video. It helped me understand this beautiful house.
Thank you, nore videos will come up :)
Very well done. I very much appreciate the interior photographs, Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm currently busy with making a similar video about the Lovell Health house, also by Neutra.
Your love of architecture inspires me. Definitely one of your best constructed videos.
Thank you very much for your appriciation. Good to hear that you are inspired by the videos because that stimulates me to make more new videos. I try to improve the videos each time and setting new quality standards for the channel. New content will come up soon.
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".
Interesting to read your desciption of Neutra's work. I agree that Neutra's work is more zen and more livable, and that Wright's work feels more heavier. Still I think Wright has a larger diversity in his boby of work, he has made many designs that all look very different, while Neutra's designs look very similar. Anyway both architects are billiant, so it's'always hard to choose. Personally would prefer to live in Palm Sprins but Fallingwater is more interesting.
Yes, I think you’re right, John. Neutra’s work was certainly “Neutra”, though I do love it. And Wright had an extensive career that opened the door to considering nature in architecture. Where Wright came from, his time as a young architect, certainly attests to his genius in breaking the old moulds. And Wright took on a lot of very large projects. But, yes, I’d rather live in a Neutra - but that’s my personal taste (I do lean more towards Japanese aesthetics)…. Plus I live in Australia, and our newer homes (since the 1970s) are very much indoor-outdoor experiences with large expanses of glass.
Well done Sir! This has to be one of the finest architectural tours I’ve been on. Felt like I was walking behind a great tour guide. Not to stir up any trouble or anything, but did anyone else see a swasticka (I don’t know how to spell the damn word) when looked at from above? The background music was a perfect choice as well.
Great to hear that you liked the tour! Your comment stimulates me to make more videos. Yes, you're not he first one who sees a Swastika in the floorplan of the house, but hence Neutra was a Jewish architect, the Swastika must accidental. Also great tat you liked the bakcground music, it always difficult to choose the rigth music.
Always a pleasure to see you post. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome! Good to read that you like my videos so much! :)
What an excellent documentary. Thank you for spending the time to make such a clear, understandable show of this house. The design is beautiful and so much better than Fallingwater, which is attractive from the outside but unpleasantly cave-like inside. It appears that this house may also have solved the chronic water leak problems that plague Wright's designs. Neutra achieved design drama with practicality, which Wright did not.
Thank you Lisa! :) your comment stimulates me to make more videos! I like to make the videos as clear and understandable as possible, it takes a lot of time but I love doing it. So great to read that you like it.
I also prefer to live Neutra's design, but the houses by Wright are more interesting: they have more unusual features and each design by Wright while the designs by Neutra were more similar. However John Lautner remaines my all time favorite.
Love this music and narrators voice😊
Thank you! Great to read that you like my voice.
I love this house. so simple yet so intresting...
Your videos keep getting better and better, i really enjoyed this one!
Thank you, as with everything in life: it's a matter of practice. This video sets the new quality standard for me.Check also my video about the Fallingwater House by Frank Lloyd Wright, which has the same quality.
great history here and your video with animations added to the layout of this lovely home are fantastic. Well done. I prefer the Kaufmann house for certain.
Thanks for your comment. Great that you liked the video. I prefer this house also over Fallingwater. I'm currently busy with a new video about Neutra's Case Study House 20.
I don't know but for me The Bauhaus building is extremely beautiful. I always liked German Architecture so much specially the work of Walter Gropius.
I am a parametric architect designer. I'm fully aware of Lloyd work and Neutra's approach. I do appreciate that the classics are analyzed again. We parametric architects must review these projects and their ideas especially the international style.
I have visited the Bauhaus school building a few times and I really like it. Wether you design organic architecture or international style, it's always interesting to study one of the styles.
This is the best piece I've seen on the Desert House. Thank you!
Thanks, I always want to make the a complete overview of each house. Showing the entire lay out with every detail. I love to explore the masterpieces made by such brilliant architects. Really great to read that so many like the videos. More videos will come up.
@@SuperJobbel I would prefer the Kaufmann house. I like light and desert wind.
@@RyanJohnsonD Good choice! :) Also my favorite to live in.
Thank you so much for this video. It's extremely well-done and very educational!
You're welcome. I like to make the videos as complete as possible, showing all the details. It's a lot of work but I like doing it. More videos about F.L Wright, Neutra, John Lautner and Case Study Houses will come up.
Thanks for your great videos, as usual they are well researched and simply presented with colour coding . Love this house !! , had the pleasure to visit Palm Springs a few years back and stood outside this place. Wright was certainly clever if not arrogant , Neutra however was on the next level , using large glass and steel to its full potential . Keep up the great work. - cheers form Brisbane
Great to hear that you like the video so much. I want to make the videos so complete and clearly explained as possible, so it's good to read that i have succeeded in doing that. I both love Wright, Neutra and Lautner and simply choose which one is my favorite architect! Cheers from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Fantastic video you have made and what a wonderful house wished I built it !
Thank you! Really great to hear that you liked the video so much.
Brilliant house, and brilliant video. Thank you.
You're welcome! Great that you liked the video. It's indeed a brilliant house, more videos about Lautner, Wright and Neutra will come up.
@@SuperJobbel 💝💝💝💝💝💝
Your description explains the house's subtle complexities and the architect's intelligent vision. Possibly the architect suggested to the owner: "Spend a little more on adjacent parcels of land, and this will lower the building costs, while creating the illusion of an isolated house in the desert."
I don't know for sure, but I gues that is likely what had happened. Good to hear that you liked the video so much ;) The house is definitely an intellegent design.
thank you for the excellent tour and background info🙌well done🙌
I'm really glad to read this. This stimulates me to make more videos.
Very nice presentation. Thank you.
You're welcome! I really like to make these presentations! :)
According to a Palm Springs architecture tour guide, the Kaufman home was going to have another home actually built by Frank Lloyd Wright behind it that was going to be massive. This was to be built by Kaufman‘s wife who committed suicide and the plans were not completed, and then a different home was built by Zsa Zsa Gabor instead.
Okay interesting story! I never heard of this story, I shall check it out. Thanks for sharing it!
Another great video! I love this style of house. I've always wondered why there aren't more new houses designed with a creative open style like this. It can't just be a cost issue. Everything built nowadays is all the same almost, just boring cookie cutter box house developments 14 feet next to each other.
I agree that I wish we saw houses designed like this today. As an architect who loves modern design I would love to have the freedom to design like this. There are a a lot more hurdles with such design in our time. One of biggest issues today is due to energy building codes. They make it very difficult to have that much glass and meet energy saving restrictions. Also this style is incredibly unforgiving to execute. The way materials are brought together seamlessly takes a great care of craftsmanship. Also, back then nearly everything was custom built for the specific project. Nowadays it is difficult to find craftsman who will do custom windows, custom exterior finishes, etc. And even if you do it is hard to pass building code inspectors that want all the elements certified to meet energy and construction standards. Sorry to get so verbose,.
Thank you for your extensive explanation, it was really interesting to read. I was also wondering why not more houses like this are build today. :)
Ron Conder gave a perfect explanation! I couldn't have give that answer.
@@ronkyville Thanks for your detailed and informed explanation, nonetheless I'd challenge your statement. I've remodeled an older 70's contemporary house with large clerestory windows and an enclosed courtyard with large windows 6' x 6' plus large french doors. Heating and cooling costs have been lowered relative to prior single pane aluminum framed windows. All new thermal windows with low E glass coatings have actually lowered our energy costs. In updating the building I've added a lot of new insulation and used foil-backed thermal roof decking which has lowered heat gain and loss from the roof. I've investigated a lot of materials for new buildings that allow for lots of glass that can be built and pass building codes. On the craftsmanship issue I am in whole agreement. I had to do and supervise a lot of the work to ensure quality standards that are not evident in modern construction unless you are paying for a premium custom built structure. Obviously if you have the money it can be built.
Those cookie cutter tracts are built that way for a couple of reasons - and cost is very much a huge component. First, there are indeed huge cost savings when everything can be ordered in mass quantities because it's all standardized and the same components are used in all of the houses.
Second, although some may be designed by architects, many are actually "designed" (a word I use loosely here) by the builders themselves - who are *very* rarely actually trained in architecture. It's not usually the best architects designing them even when they *are* part of the process, either; the best are doing private commissions, not tract houses of any size.
Finally, the close proximity is also very much about cost savings and maximizing profit by fitting as many houses as possible onto the available land.
There are actually many extremely talented architects working today, whose work would take your breath away just as much as these masterpieces. The houses they design are not always visible when you drive down the street, though, because they're often tucked behind walls, tall hedges, down long driveways, on very large lots, well above or below street level, etc. - intentionally very private. Read professional magazines such as Architectural Record and others and you'll start finding them.
Neutra and FLW absolutely both, one of a kind, epically talented architects.. just extraordinary
well, both houses are absolutely EXTRAordinary.. that being said, my soul is completely captured by FLW’s Falling Water .. a poetic, passionate masterpiece ❣️❣️
good choice! personally I would like to live in Palm Springs, but Fallingwater is more romantic and spectaculair.
They were both geniuses but with a very different style.
@@SuperJobbel weather wise, absolutely Palm Springs and that home!! omigosh 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗.. both residences are absolutely epic
Great house. Thanks for making these videos.
You're welcome! More videos will come up. :)
Merci beaucoup pour cette superbe vidéo trés interessante et documentée.
De Rien! Plus de vidéos sont faites. Salutations des Pays-Bas!
Salutations de France !
Gorgeous in every way…I love this architecture.
Totaly agree with you!
Great architecture ❤
Aboslutely
I can tell you that I love FLW, but not all of his works... I prefer his later works from 1930 or so, onward. Although, I am familiar with Richard Neutra, I am not as familiar with his works, but have always known about this house. I have to say, your video is very informative, and with the location taken into consideration (which plays a significant role in my decision "for") I would much prefer the Neutra house to the other Kaufmann house in Pennsylvania, which I have visited. I would love to see this one, and if it were possible, to stay there overnight!
Thanks for your comment. Both Neutra and Wright were brilliant. Personally I find Wright his designs more interesting and more facinating to make videos about, but Neutra is the archtiect I would prefer to live in. Indeed I would love to spend the night in this house. Great that you liked the video, more content about Lautner, Wright, Neutra and Case Study House will come up soon.
Wow! I needed that!! Thank you.
You're welcome!
This house looks almost exactly like a section of the elementary school that I attended when I was a kid. I looked at the thumbnail and thought I was looking at my school but such a nifty house.
I guess your school was very beautiful then :)
Neutra did design a school building! The Lab School at UCLA in Los Angeles, CA.
Beautiful
Excellent 👌 Informative video thank you 🙏 ❤
You're welcome! great to hear that you liked the video.
A mid century modern masterpiece.
I have been to Modernism Week in Palm Springs and I always hope this house will be on the tour. They did have an LA one on the tour in 2022. Maybe one day this house will have tours 🤞🤞
It's still privately owned and rarely goes open for public.
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.
Yes now I know it's pronounced Noytra, but I didn't knew it when I made this video. Indeed many famous people live nearby.
Thank you for your, work. There is no way a person could choose between the two. You clearly need to be as wealthy and established as Mr. Kaufman to simply have, both.🙂
That's absolutely true!
Very nice presentation.
Thank you! :)
I choose Palm Springs for the same reason as Mr. Kaufmann. I live in Sweden and have had enough of cold and damp winters.
I can imagine: I live in the Netherlands.
0:08 ... The white horizontal lines of the house, the white vertical lines of the pool going to the mountains and the sky, the blue of the sky reflecting on the blue water of the pool, the palm trees in the sky... It's like being in a Monet painting ! This is an impressionist painting ! This is art ! An american impressionist painting like in the end of the XIXth and the beginning of the XXth century in the suburb of Paris....
Very beautiful description of yours! the house indeed looks like a painting: wonderful composed against the background. Thanks for your comment!
For the past 40 years there has been a type of desert architecture in Phoenix that has become astonishing, diverse and in many cases stunningly unique. Some names like Bruder, Fairbourne, Burdett and the Jones Brothers come to mind as torchbearers of this new “school”. Someone will eventually expose these diamonds in the sand.
Yes, I hope it will expose someday. The ''Desert Modernism'' houses in California and Arizona are so beautifull, they deserve to be famous.
Neutra is 'my' god in architecture. Pure genius!
Your absolutely right.
I’m lucky to live in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles where there many Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright houses to tour. Two houses, the Hollyhock House & Neutra Residence are in different Public Parks where you can sit and admire all day, everyday.
Great! I will visit them, the next time when I am in L.A. :)
This was pretty much exactly what I did pictured when I read ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’
Ehm... could you please explain what you mean by that? I know it's a Robert Heinlein book but I haven't read it.
Well done!
I’m sorry to say you have mispronounced the name Neutra. It is a German name and is always pronounced Noytra. I love him too. My son is his great grandson. I was happy to meet and visit with Diona Neutra, Richard’s wife, Dion Neutra, his son, and his grandson, Greg Neutra and I have two beautiful, wonderful children together, though we live apart. I have been inside two of his houses and as great as they are from the outside, the insides are a magical experience, hard to describe, but it is experiencing great art. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes I realised that you pronounce the name differently shortly after I uploaded the video. I speak German and knew that you pronounce the word Neu as Noy and that it means New. However I thought that Neutra had "Americanised'' as what is common with most European people who immigrate to the US. Nice story about your family btw.
I thought you might be German and was nervous to tell you how to pronounce German! Yes, some people here who don’t know of Richard mispronounce Neutra. Happens to my children a lot. But thanks again for your video, being able to see the house in detail.
@@patriciajoubert426 I live in the Netherlands and the Dutch language is very similar to German. Therefore I speak German. Good to hear that you liked the video so much. I'm gonna make more video's about houses by Neutra in the future.
It’s so funny, I also thought you sounded like the Netherlands, so it seems I was guessing a little correctly. Good luck with all.
I noticed the running time of the video, 19:46, the same as the year the house was commissioned. Was this due to careful planning or a sign from the cosmos that you had made the video just right?
Okay hahaha! I didn't notice that myself. No that was just a coinscedence ...... So I guess it must be a sign from the cosmoss :) .. Its how funny how coinscedence can make your videos better and more interesting. Thank you!
Clean, clear, rational design, but too box-like for my own taste. I definitely prefer Wright and Lautner, but many thanks for another great tour, very well done!
''Box Boys'' that was the phrase that John Lautner and Frank Lloyd Wright used to describe archtiects like Van Der Rohe and Neutra. Indeed Neutra the work is considered by many as clean and straight lined. Although I love the work by Neutra, I also prefer the designs by Lautner and Wright because it's so diverse: each house is different. While Neutra work is more formulaic, still its interesting: so more videos about Neutra will show up on this channel.
@@SuperJobbel Cool! I adore the Mid-Century Modern style (well, "styles") and I'll be delighted to broaden my perspective. I'll be there!;)
Great Video, many photos and explanations, a few corrections. Edgar J Kauffman did not established the Kauffman department store, would be interesting to add how Neutra planned the sun movements with the overhangs to allow winter sun and block the summer sun.
FLLW despised the International Style however we can see that the techniques and effects both use are practically the same, in this case I believe Neutra surpasses Wright.
Kauffman was a merchant and he always had business in his mind.
Taking into account that the plot was less than ideal Neutra achieved the elevation with the gloriette, genius.
Trully a masterpiece, in terms of living I would do the same as Kauffman and Wright himself did, summer in Bear Run and winter in Palm Springs
Again thank you for your feedback! I'm learning a lot from you.
- I thought that Edard Kaufmann was the founder of the store, but indeed he wasn't: so that's a mistake of mine.
_ I was not aware that the cantileverings were designed to block summer sun and to block the winter sun. Interesting! To bad that I didn't knew that, otherwise I would included it in the video.
- Yes, I knew that techniques and effects of the international style and organic archtiecture are similar. However I believe that Neutra made more minimalistic designs than Wright. I knew that Wrigh despised the international style but I excluded it from the video because otherwise the video would be to long.
-I would love to live in both Bear Run and Palm Srings.
well done presentation
Thank you!
We had a condo in PS, used to enjoy looking at this masterpiece, we were told that in more recent years it was owned by Barry Manilow, one reason he sold it was the lack of privacy.
Yes, it indeed was owned sometime by Barry Manilow. I can imagine that such a famous attract a lot architecture geeks like us, and that not desirable for a famous singers who spends his vacation there.
A fine video and comments.
Your videos turning up on my notifications is always an absolute treat. Thanks once again!
Any chance of looking at the Stahl House by Pierre Koenig? It’s in a couple episodes of Columbo and various other programmes and I’d love to know more.
Yes, I currently busy with making a video about the Case Study House 22 / Stahl House ! And yes the Stahl house was used in the first Columbo episode. Each video is a lot of work, so it will takes some time before the video will finished. But stay tuned and your wish will be fullfilled. :)
@@SuperJobbel Wow! Brilliant!
Given the choice I would live in Palm Springs. I have vacationed many times in PS and love it there. Falling Waters is an absolute masterpiece and while an amazing it is just not my preferred style. Yes, it does get hot in PS but it is what I prefer. I have had the pleasure of renting several Mid-Century homes there and know where I would buy if I had the means.
Oh great! I would love to rent a MCM home there some day. I like FallingWater more, but I would prefer PS over the cold winters in Pensylvania.
Very modernist. Well ahead of its time.
I 100% agree with you.
Cool spot in the desert
Wooow! So awesome excursion! Thank you so much!!!
you're welcome! thanks for your comment! i love making these videos so more content will come up.
I give the nod to Fallingwater, but the Neutra house is a gem. Hard to say no to it.
Very good coice, I agree. :)
I like designs of number one frank lloyd wright, jhon lautner, and neutra. Greatest architects.
I love them to. They are my three favorite architects, but I love John Lautner even the most. More videos will come up.
I love the music you used! Can you drop the names of the songs? 😊
It was a while ago when I made this video so I was already forgot which music I had used: I had to search it, so therefore a later reaction of me: The songs that I used are:

Shaped like a cross, my foot! It's more like a modified Swastika. I can't believe that I'm the first person to notice this.
Yes, more people already have notice this and mentioned it in the comments. It mus be coinscedence but it indeed looks a little bit like a swastika.
Thank you! 😍👌
You're welcome
Another case where house and location are perfectly matched. If this house and falling water were switched, neither one would work with their environment and would not be considered the masterpieces they are today.
Yes 100% agree with you. Both houses are build to match their location. It's difficult to built them somewhere else.
The shutters are clever, but I wonder how reliable their operation is, particularly over decades of use? I also wonder if they’re quiet or if they rattle when the winds blow? Clever, nonetheless. :)
The shutters are just closed manually with one steel handle for all the shutters together. The steel handle is a horziontal rod in the middle, as you can see on 10:45 and 10:49 . I think the shutters hardly make any sound. I dont know how reliable they are, obviously they need some maintance once in a while.
Okay, thank you. Undoubtably it was engineered and executed well. 🥂

Fallingwater, but this is a masterpiece too.

Okay, thank you, great that you like the videos. I shall say shade the next time, I try to improve my English in every video. It's still a learning process for me.
I would love to know the measurements of the house as i need to do a model of it.
Like how long each part is including the pool.
Ehm... interesting! I will search it and try to find it out because I don't know the exact measurements myself. I know that the internal living space measures 3162 feet and the entire property measures 2,18 acres.
@@SuperJobbel I appreciate it very much. Thank you for your answer.

תודה על עוד סרטון מדהים, וכיף שאתה מתרחב לעוד אדריכלים מודרניים, זה ממש מעניין איך שני האדריכלים מאוד רוצים חיבור עם הטבע משתמשים בצורות מרובעות אבל אחד מראה איך האדם הכי נעלה בטבע והשני מתמזג עם הטבע לגבי השאלה בסוף הלוואי ויכולתי להרשות לעצמי אפילו את החניה של אחד מהם....
תודה, כן שניהם מחברים בין הטבע לאדריכלות בסגנון משלהם, אותה פילוסופיה אבל מאוד שונה. סרטונים נוספים יעלו
Which one would I prefer to live in? Now that's a question to keep you awake at night
Haha.... Yes.. It keeps me also awake! :) I like the Palm Sprigs Climate very much, so that influences my preference for this house. But Fallingwater is my favorite in terms of design.
Ok the easiest question ever asked, at the end of the video: "Which one would you prefer to live in?" Wright's, or Neutra's?
Actually, as I was enterting the architecture faculty, I've been huge fan of everything Frank L. Wright.
Then I went thru my Corbusier (and Czechoslovak functionalism) era, as everyone around me.
I'm 53 now, and I firmly landed at Neutra's Casa Kaufmann.
Anybody else would go through a similar evolution? :)
Personally I would like to live in the Neutra house, but the Fallingwater house is more spectaculair and interesting!
"The shape of a cross" was not the first symbol I thought of when viewed from above.....
Yes I know what you mean... your not the only one. But I guess it was coinscedence because Neutra was of Jewish descent.
