Venue Setting

Designed in 1961 by the architect John Lautner, the house is one of Los Angeles’s most beloved landmarks: it has served as a backdrop for films (“The Big Lebowski,” “Charlie’s Angels”), numerous fashion shoots and parties. Goldstein bought the residence in 1972, and worked with Lautner and others to renovate it over the years, adding a rooftop tennis court next door and his own nightclub underneath. Concrete angles and hidden retractable glass walls, the indoor-outdoor is a space age bachelor pad. Expansive view encompasses the entire city, stretching from downtown to the Pacific Ocean. The structure is almost all original, but materials, built-ins, motorized elements (skylights and walls), glazing, and more... the architect combined the lower-level study, studio, and master bedroom into one large master divided by a concrete wall and furnished with concrete furniture (and an invisible sink). The master also has a built-in scale and windows that look into the pool.

Venue Features

The scene:

The John Lautner-designed Sheats-Goldstein Residence – complete with a James Turrell Skyspace, an outdoor infinity tennis / basketball court, onsite private nightclub and stunning views of Los Angeles – has hosted a slew of high-profile celebrities, models, fashion designers and influencers and was recently gifted to LACMA in a first of its kind acquisition by the globally renowned art museum.

The Sheats-Goldstein residence is far from a “venue”; rather, it is a “destination” that will undoubtedly attract a select
group of high-profile figures from the world of sports, music, film, television and social media.

Design:

John Lautner designed the home with angular walls, built-in furniture and an open plan floor space. Wanting the house to feel outwardly connected with no separation between inside and out, John and James have used concrete and glass. Comprising the floors and walls, concrete became the main material employed, whilst all the carpets installed have been designed to look like small stones. Additionally, the frameless glass wall in the living room supports the uniting of the two spaces. Rewarded with views across Los Angeles, the home is embraced by creeping vines that crawl over the walls, and tropical vegetation complements the structure’s exterior.

Spanning across over 1.5 hectares of hillside, the property is saturated with thick foliage and vegetation that hold walkways, ponds and hidden grassed spaces that become a crucial part of the home’s external characteristics. Additionally, the distinct character of Sheats-Goldstein Residence is further emphasised with a one-of-a-kind James Turrel skyscraper. Named Above Horizon due to its position on the hillside, the skyscraper has been built into the slope just below the main building. Designed with two windows that open to reveal glimpses of the sky, the volume also has a built-in lounge that allows for one to lay back and watch the thousands of hidden LEDs. Completed after John’s passing, the skyscraper, terrace, office space and Club James – the nightclub underneath the house – were all done by James with a deep understanding and respect for John’s original design.
