The Kaufmann Desert House and Fallingwater are considered to be the most important modernist designs in U.S history. Intrestingly: both houses were comissioned by the same person, Edgard Kaufmann. More intestingly: Neutra was a very different architect than F.L Wright or John Lautner, in this video I will their differences in styles.
Although this channel is dedicated to John Lautner , I really like Neutra's designs, so I thought it was worth to make a video about his most important house. Based on photos found on the internet and my own drawings I made a complete walkthrough and overview of the history and construction. I did this to preserve the legacy of brilliant architects like Wright, Lautner and Neutra. To enjoy the beauty of their works!

the fact that Edgar was born in 1885 , and his homes are still avant guard is mind blowing
-
How fascinating that Kaufmann commissioned and owned both masterpieces. I'm kinda jealous. I love both Wright's house and Neutra's houses.
-
Mid century modern speaks to me. It is serene, exciting and relaxing at once. I love it.
-
I bow down to Neutra. If you did a series on Neutra I would be exceedingly happy 🙂.... and I'd watch all of them just like your Lautner videos 👌👌👌

Another amazing video presentation from you, thank you so much yet again. The Palm Springs Modernist architecture is that beautiful blend of the international and organic architectural styles that is so appealing. The Kaufman House in Palm Springs is at the top of that Desert architectural movement for that era. Well done my friend! G

Brilliant. This Kaufmann House by Neutra is my favorite house in the world. I was born and raised in So Cal. My family lives in Indio and Palm Springs. I'm an artist and I now live in NYC. I love the east coast and I love the four seasons. I miss the Pacific Ocean, however, and I dream of swimming every day. There is another dream that reigns supreme above all others. I've always said, my whole life, that I would give up my life in NY and forgo the Pacific Ocean if... I could live in the Kaufmann house, this Kaufmann house.

It's pronounced NOYTRA or NOITRA. My father worked with Mr. Neutra in LA in the mid-fifties. Mr. Neutra was often a guest for dinner. Dad, Richard R. Stadelman AIA, went from Studying with Wright at Taliesin to working with Neutra.
