looks like there's also a conveyer platform that you can ride down to the house and beach from the top!

wasn't that in Return of the Jedi?

that figure in the RH corner looks weird, photoshopped?

hmm..well thats actually my friend in the corner.

Return of the Jedi...interesting I could believe that, I'll have to watch it again.

funny you should mention John Lautner though, someone recently told me it's a clear copy of his "Chemosphere House" which is owned by the owner of Taschen.

For anyone curious....

This is where it's located:

It's on Black Beach in San Diego. The track is for an elevator/car that goes up and down to the main house up above the cliff.

*bump*

This is the Sam Bell Residence by Dale Naegle

imagine trying to get that thru the coastal commission now...

Norman Foster knocked off the 1960 Lautner House in his design for a tree house.
