Iconic houses – Chemosphere

After two years of restoration, John Lautner's famous Chemosphere house in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles, is once again the remarkable innovative design that Lautner created in 1960. The new owners Angelika and Benedikt Taschen first saw the house in 1997 in a neglected state, and set about repairing the building and Lautner's reputation. "(The house) was unique", Ms. Taschen recalled. "authentic and intense, idealistic and full of fantasy, non-conformist. I felt immediately that it fit our character perfectly."

Built by brass-baron Thomas Higgins, who had a dream: to move downtown to LA's then-vacant west part, where Wall Street West is today. Of course, the center of the city was to be his own building, sporting all advances of science: lightning-quick electric elevators, lighting, clean running water.
