The Garcia House by John Lautner

The Garcia House by John Lautner, which was made popular in the movie Lethal Weapon is now on the market for a cool $16,000,000.00.  I used to love architecture and learned all about this house after seeing it in the movie.  The House is a modernist residence located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. The house is built into the steep hillside and consists of three levels. The main level is cantilevered over a canyon and consists of a large living room with a dramatic curved ceiling, a library, a kitchen, and a master suite. The second level is accessed via a cantilevered bridge, and contains two guest bedrooms and two bathrooms. The third level is a large garden patio with a pool and outdoor kitchen. The house is constructed of reinforced concrete, steel, and wood, and is clad in redwood siding and copper panels. The house is characterized by its organic, curved forms, which are inspired by the natural landscape surrounding the structure. Large glass walls bring the outside in, offering spectacular views of the canyon and the Hollywood Hills. The innovative design of the house emphasizes the connection between indoor and outdoor space, and showcases Lautner's unique vision of modern architecture.

Since I can’t afford the house I decided to work on a few architectural sketches with the latest AI tools to get me over my desire to live in this house.  Here are the results.
