One of Frank Lloyd Wright's most notable disciples, John Lautner made a distinct impact in California, specifically in Los Angeles. Known for his residential works, Lautner's exploration of space and material echoes Wright's organic architectural influence. The eye-catching curvilinear Louise Foster House, for example, considered to be one of Lautner's earliest commissioned works, resembles the David and Gladys Wright House, an elevated, circular home Wright completed for his son in 1952.
The 1,200-square-foot Foster House, complete with a redwood-clad exterior and a grand sunburst ceiling showcasing a tantalizing wood finish, is currently for sale.
A perfect getaway for someone looking to escape the busy city, the house sits on a 5,556-square-foot lot.
The two-story home has gone through some renovations over the years. According to usmodernist.org, Lautner decided to transform a portion of the home's carport into a sitting room in 1964, and in 2012, Architect Helena Arahuete turned the converted sitting room into a second bedroom. From the tantalizing interiors to the serene outdoor view of the San Fernando Valley, over time, the home has aged into another historic residential icon. With an asking price of $1.6M, it's hard to imagine the home staying on the market for too long.
