Pasadena the Dahlstrom House by John Lautner

780 LAGUNA ROAD, PASADENA | $2,595,000 | 2 BD | 2 BA

The elegance of John Lautner can never be overstated. The Dahlstrom House in Pasadena is an exquisite example of his genius. The cantilevered steel ceiling floats easily over an architectural fireplace and walls of glass out to a vista of lush landscape. And the curves! It’s as if a magician waved his wand and summoned a union of glass, steel, wood and concrete into a perfect form of beauty. Yes, we love it!

WEST HOLLYWOOD CARL MASTON ARCHITECTURAL DREAM HOME

West Hollywood Carl Maston Architectural Dream Home

1657 MARMONT AVENUE, WEST HOLLYWOOD | $6,000,000 | 3 BD | 3 BA

We had a client eyeing this Carl Maston architectural home back in the day. But, alas, it went to Ryan Murphy, then eventually Dakota Johnson. It’s now back on the market. Located in the Hollywood Hills just off the Sunset Strip, this stunning 1947 mid century home was first painstakingly restored by Murphy and it appears Johnson furthered a renovation. The original warm wood is ever-present throughout the home. And, the setting is divine.
