About John Lautner
John Lautner was born in 1911 and raised in Marquette, Michigan. He spent six years as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright as one of the first Taliesin Fellows, then opened his own practice in Los Angeles in 1939.
Lautner’s houses are sculptural and structurally bold: an octagon on a single column above a hillside, concrete roofs that sweep open to the view. He believed a house should connect people with space and with nature, and many of his homes seem to grow out of their sites.
Signature Features
- Sweeping concrete roofs and dramatic cantilevers
- Walls of glass that open entire rooms to the view
- Houses shaped to steep hillside and canyon sites
- Natural materials, including stone, wood and exposed concrete
- Built-in furniture and lighting designed with the house
Landmark Work
- Chemosphere
- Sheats-Goldstein Residence
- Silvertop
- Elrod House
Buying a Lautner Home
- Have the structure reviewed by an engineer familiar with cantilevers and hillside construction.
- Ask for the original drawings and the history of any changes.
- Lautner homes trade rarely, so pricing leans on the home’s design significance more than on nearby sales.

How can I confirm a home was designed by John Lautner?
Listing descriptions are written by the listing agent, so treat an attribution as a starting point.

Kyle Shutts can help you confirm a home’s history before you write an offer.
