The 4,500-square-foot house was designed by American architect John Lautner and built between 1961 and 1963, in Los Angeles’ Beverly Crest neighborhood. The concrete-and-wood house was built into the sandstone ledge of a hill, and it’s a testament to the connection between man and nature.

Each space is open and offers stunning views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean, with glass walls throughout that serve to blend the indoors with the outdoors.

John Lautner designed the American Organic Architecture house for Helen and Paul Sheats and their three children. After going through a couple of different owners, it was acquired by James F. Goldstein, a businessman, real estate investor and fashion designer, in 1972.

At the time, the house had fallen into disrepair, and was in dire need of a makeover, so Goldstein reached out to Lautner to help bring the residence back to its former glory.

What emerged was a two-decades-long partnership to remodel the house, which ended when John Lautner passed away in 1994. However, Goldstein never stopped tweaking and upgrading his Beverly Crest dwelling, even adding a nightclub to the list of amenities.
