You like John Launter's work? We did the restoration interior work on Chemosphere. I lost a lot of hair over the inner workings of that new sliding door that fits flush into the weird arch on the Paralam Beam. Pocket door frame was welded, arch door glued, made and fitted on the job. I see it on some U tube vids, its still standing. I think I was about 30 at the time. Can't believe it was 25 years ago.
Wright has a bunch of homes and larger projects in and around LA. The Architect I did some work for lives in a Lloyd Wright house right off Mulholland and part of the foundation is a huge boulder that is exposed on the interior of the house.
There is a Neutra hosue at the end of my block. Those folks are pretty weird that live in it.
