R.I.P. Lautner’s Garwood Residence

on By

It’s with a heavy heart that we report the demolition of a John Lautner designed home. We have nothing against Chris Martin, but as an artist, he should be on the side of conservation and appreciate the architecture and artistry of one of the most influential residential architects of the last century. Or, don’t buy the home. R.I.P. Lautner’s Garwood Residence.

7316 CAVERNA DRIVE, LOS ANGELES | $2,998,000 | 2 BD | 2 BA

We must confess that John Lautner may be our favorite modernist architect. His designs were unique and very identifiable as his. He did a masterful job of combining materials to soften some of the perceived “coldness” of the modern structures. Here’s a one of his smaller designs in the Hollywood Hills.
