Lautner Alexander House Pool

Designed by John Lautner in 1951, this inviting mid-century modern features vaulted, exposed beam ceilings, brick/concrete floors, and extensive natural hardwoods. Large windows and glass doors create a seamless connection to the secluded, resort-like backyard, which has a large saltwater pool and spa.

Cathedral ceilings with integrated skylights and a strategic use of frosted glass bring sunlight inside without sacrificing privacy. Wide overhanging eaves shade expansive patio areas, including a walk-behind wet bar with concrete counters, allowing for the ultimate in poolside entertaining.

Other unique features include an interior garden with river stone, a towering brick fireplace and mullioned corner windows. Many of the rooms are oriented around the back and side yards, virtually eliminating the need for window treatments.

Lautner was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. He is famous for designing many innovative homes, including the flying saucer-style Chemosphere, Wolff Residence, Silvertop, and the Garcia House.
