ロサンゼルスの象徴的建築「シーツ＝ゴールドスタイン邸」に新たなフェーズをもたらす
建築事務所Conner + Perry Architects は、ジョン・ロートナーの設計による名作「シーツ＝ゴールドスタイン邸」における最新の増築プロジェクトを発表した。この度完成した新たなアネックス「クラブ・ジェームス」は、建築家ジョン・ロートナーと現オーナーであるジェームス・ゴールドスタインが50年以上にわたり構想を温めてきたもので、これまでに3世代にわたる建築チームが関わっている。複雑で長期的な取り組みの末に完成したこの新施設は、ゴールドスタインの理想を体現したエンターテインメント空間となっている。
Club James: The newly completed accessory complex, Club James, emerges from the lush jungle landscape, its crystalline geometries playing against the surrounding wild flora and bright blue southern California skies. The infinity tennis court roof sits atop the canted glass enclosure of the office, which floats effortlessly above the lower terrace and pool.

建築的遺産と新時代の融合
シーツ＝ゴールドスタイン邸はハリウッドサインに匹敵するほどロサンゼルスの象徴的な建築物であり、多くの映画やテレビ番組、ファッション、音楽ビデオに登場し、建築ファンやデザイン界でも広く知られている。1962年にジョン・ロートナーとシーツ家によって建設が始まり、その後、現オーナーのジェームス・ゴールドスタインが邸宅を購入した1970年代から新たな拡張や改修が行われてきた。2015年以降は Conner + Perry Architects がこのプロジェクトを引き継ぎ、これまでの設計をさらに発展させている。

- Club James Nightclub: Concrete entry into Club James looking back at the main entry stair. Here you can see the interplay of light and shadow with the complex geometries and the versatility and subtlety that the various treatments of the concrete surfaces bring to the space.

- Nightclub Bar: The club’s one-of-a-kind concrete bar cantilevers dramatically at one end pointing toward the hidden entry to the VIP Room/Library and Restrooms. In this image one can see the various treatments of each concrete surface. The floors are a pebble finish, matching the walking surfaces throughout the property both inside and out. The walls and vertical surfaces are board-formed with a 1-1/2” wide plank, a subtle variation of the wider plank utilized more sparingly in the original residence. The countertop is highly polished and waxed, as are all the other horizontal utility and seating surfaces. And the ceilings are board-formed but have been sand blasted to provide a subtler texture and expose more of the aggregate. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography

- Nightclub: Below the court is a fully functioning private nightclub. This facility includes a full concrete and stainless-steel bar, state-of-the-art sound and light systems controlled from a cantilevered stainless-steel DJ booth, stainless-steel dance floor, a 26-foot-long LED display wall, and operable glass façade framing the panoramic view of the city.

最新のプロジェクト「Club James」
完成した「Club James」は既存の邸宅に隣接する場所に建設された。元々はジョン・ロートナーの設計に基づいたテニスコートを設置する計画が発端となり、土地の傾斜を活かした新しいエンターテインメントスペースとして進化した。この新設の空間にはVIPルーム、書斎、映画上映室、アウトドア用のテラス、キッチン、プール、スパなど、多彩な要素が含まれている。Conner + Perry Architects のデザインアプローチは、ロートナーが築いた建築言語を尊重しながらも現代のニーズに適応させる点にある。クリストファー・コナーは「このプロジェクトは、ロートナーが残した設計理念を進化させつつ、彼の遺産を守るためのバランスを取ることが求められました。私たちは、オリジナルの邸宅に宿るDNAを引き継ぎ、新しい空間が調和を保つよう工夫しています」と語っている。

- Offices: Goldstein’s office is located at the southwest corner of the building and features a unique canted frameless glass enclosure that heightens the dramatic sense of the space pushing out into the view beyond. A custom cantilevered concrete desk dominates the room providing a spectacular perch from which to look out on the city. Custom stainless-steel shelves and built-in concrete and leather cabinetry house basketball memorabilia and photographs of Goldstein with a variety of celebrity friends. Behind (Off-Camera, Right) are the offices of Goldstein’s assistants, featuring glass clerestories and custom built-in concrete and leather office furniture. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography

- Club James Office Detail: This all-glass detail is a modification of the door pulls in the original Lautner-designed residence, illustrating the new project’s ties to the adjacent home. It is a prime example of how the organic philosophy’s holistic approach permeates the entire design at every scale, and materials are expressed in their purest forms.

- Lower Terrace Stair: Elevation view of the main entertainment terrace cantilevered concrete stair; with a bar and lounge area behind, and leading up to the office and nightclub second level. The stair is an excellent example of the intense collaborative design process between the architects and owner James Goldstein: after the lounge area was completed Goldstein requested that the stair be redesigned to preserve the views as much as possible. In response Conner + Perry cantilevered the entire structure from a single point, and following Goldstein’s suggestion added the triangular opening in the stair stringer, a detail which references similar motifs found in the original Lautner-designed residence.

- Lower Terrace Stair Detail: The stainless-steel handrail seems to delicately hover in mid-air, supported only by the frameless glass guardrails. The project’s characteristic board-formed concrete provides a substantive yet refined backdrop for their dramatic angular geometries. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography
-
- Lower Terrace Lounge: Built-in concrete seating with custom upholstered cushions wrapping around a cantilevered concrete table. The composition is emblematic of the firm’s design approach, adapting the visual language established on the project to new functions and contexts, continuing to blur the line between architecture and furniture.

-
- Lower Terrace Formal Dining: Below the club and offices is the outdoor entertainment terrace, which features multiple dining areas each with dramatic concrete tables. The table in the formal dining area is an engineering marvel, its slender profile cantilevering approximately 11 feet in both directions from a single tapered center support.

-
- Lower Terrace Restroom: Water cascades from the custom-fabricated cantilevering stainless-steel faucet into the all-glass sink as it is carried down the inside edge of the glass guardrail to a drain in the pebble finished concrete slab below. The sink is an homage to the Lautner-designed glass sink in the original residence’s primary bathroom, providing an unobstructed view into the lush tropical landscape beyond.

- Lower Terrace Infinity Pool: The pebble concrete deck becomes the pool as a striking glass shard defines the corner overlooking the pool spillway, gardens, and views of the city and Pacific Ocean beyond. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography

- Lower Terrace: The newly completed lowest level of Club James. In the foreground, the new pool reflects the upper levels of the office and tennis court above in the dwindling evening sunlight. The outdoor entertainment terrace features multiple dining areas with dramatically cantilevered concrete tables, a lounge area, full bar, and a fully functioning catering kitchen with a custom concrete and stainless-steel bar-b-que. Bordering the terrace on the south edge lies a pool with a 100-foot-long infinity edge. At the cantilevered western end of the pool is a triangular spa separated from the pool by a nearly invisible acrylic wall. Adjacent to the spa is a fire pit and cantilevered concrete bench. A restroom with outdoor glass sink and a changing room were also added. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography

- Lower Terrace Stair: A concrete cantilevered stair winds from the terrace level down into the lush gardens below. As the architecture reaches out into the landscape it becomes more dynamic responding to the topography and wild fauna. The angular stainless-steel handrail floats above the structure supported only by frameless glass stanchions. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography

- Sheats-Goldstein Residence: View of the operable frameless corner windows of the primary bedroom suite looking out to the view of Century City and beyond. The built-in concrete and leather lounge with swiveling cantilevered stainless steel and triangular glass cocktail tables, the exotic Bubinga wood floors, frameless glass, and exposed concrete were all part of the improvements to the original residence undertaken with Lautner and Goldstein between 1979 and 1994.

- Sheats-Goldstein Residence: View of the original Lautner-designed residence’s main entrance vestibule with a koi pond garden featuring a waterfall and glass and concrete foot bridge. The entire entry procession and secondary spaces of the main floor are covered by a low-slung redwood ceiling that compresses the space giving it a more intimate scale and emphasizing the dramatic transition into the iconic living room space beyond.

-
- Sheats-Goldstein Residence: The living room, the focal point of the home, immortalized in film and an icon of modern architecture. It is one of Lautner’s truest expressions of his interpretation of organic philosophy. The famous concrete triangle coffered ceiling with hundreds of tiny round skylights is at once massive and light. The frameless glass wall and continuity of the building with the landscape blurs the boundaries between the indoor and outdoor space. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography
-
- Sheats-Goldstein Residence: View stepping out from the living room onto the pool deck wrapped in pebble finished concrete. The powerful yet light triangulated concrete coffered roof structure hangs overhead, punctuated with tiny skylights that allow the sunlight to dapple through. The zero edge of the pool sits flush to the surface of the deck and was the first of its kind in the United States. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography
-
- ’Above Horizon’ Turrell Skyspace: The Skyspace oculus and window are opened up during the day, framing the brilliant azure sky. The artwork was originally intended by Goldstein to be a collaboration between James Turrell and John Lautner, however Lautner passed away before the design process could begin in earnest. The installation was completed in 2004 under the direction of architect Duncan Nicholson. Most recently the lighting and programming have been upgraded by Turrell’s studio in consultation with Conner + Perry. Photo credit: Joe Fletcher Photography
