Jackie Treehorn





Lautner's Sheats-Goldstein Residence. A successful blurring of the boundary between indoor and outdoor space. I am especially in love with the entry sequence into this house - walking beneath the cantilevered edge of the roof through what feels like indoor space, but then again, feels like a jungle. You walk through a stainless steel gate that feels like the door to a safe, then over the koi pond and through a glass slider into the house. All of the exterior glass walls open in some way, as do the skylights overhead. Only in Southern California. Ah...the architectural possibilities...
