    well, the carpets seem puff up in some rooms. Outside the cement walls need work or sealing.

    One or two of those expensive Dale Chihuly yellow blown-glass flowers would have been sufficient.

    Soo amazing and unique! ! Loved the way you see the sky when you look into the pool. Ive been to the resturant when it was a hawiian cuisine soo beautiful and soo clean feeling/cool. Who is this that you speak of?

    The house sits on a ridge above Palm Springs to the N & NW. The sun sets roughly in the direction of the best view. It seems to me that Mr. Lautner set the roof edges so low compared to the living room floor to block the sun’s glare as much as possible. I’m guessing the mountains across the valley also block the setting sun.

    Many thanks for this slideshow, many parts of the house I had not seen before. How exactly do you get onto a tour of the house?

    They should not have let the plant cover the concrete at the opening and leave it in its original design, could also do without those glass sculptures.

    Found it, thanks. And by the way, your Elrod House Tour video is simply outstanding.

    The music was purchased from my local Apple Computer retail store in a package titled “Soundtracks For iMovie”. It may still be available from Amazon.com – search for it.

  12. kilted911 says:

    The URL for the music does not work, and a thorough search of iTunes and Google found nothing, either. And I agree that those glass “things” on the walls are awful.
