Today, while studying architecture, it is difficult to escape some of the greatest masters of architecture. The late American architect John Lautner signed many famous works of modern architecture of the twentieth century. Today, architecture is more and more inclined towards the need for preservation and maintenance and, last but not least, careful renovation, which would bring functionality into today's time and ignore original ideas and subtlety.
California studio Marmol Radziner Associates he took on the task and rebuilt it John Lautner's residence. Residence "Garcia Residence" with a view of Hollywood and Los Angeles, it was built a long time ago in 1962.
To preserve original features, the famous curved roof and the colorfulness of the glass panels, the studio transformed the residence through in-depth research that lasted several months. They tended to find the best approximation of the existing marble, "terrazzo" marble, which is no longer excavated today. The chimney in the living room and pantry was restored from volcanic rock. The bedrooms received the most changes, which, as part of the equipment and original design, were updated as a place for modern lifestyle, without interfering with the original purpose of the space.
