This event has concluded.
USModernist is America's largest open digital resource for Modernist residential architecture with documentation on over 15,000 houses by nearly every major Modernist architect of the 20th century. America's brilliant mid-century Modernist houses are frequently endangered and often torn down, largely because buyers, sellers, and realtors often do not realize the importance of how to identify, preserve, and protect these livable works of art. You can't save something if you don't know where it is and why it is important. That's why we need your help.
The Sheats Goldstein House was designed by Modernist architect John Lautner. Join USModernist in the house made famous in The Big Lebowski plus countless commercials and fashion shoots. Explore the house, the huge nightclub addition, and one of the most envied rooms in America - the living room, shown above. You'll have the opportunity to tour the house in small groups during the party and share a beautiful evening overlooking the LA skyline from the nightclub party area. Live like a rock star, or the Dude, as you take in the astonishing views.
You'll enjoy delicious appetizers plus signature cocktails provided by Vermont Spirits, and in the nightclub (yes, the house has its own nightclub)...
...entertainment by Rose Mallett and her band, straight from the storied Purple Room in Palm Springs.
Because there is no parking at the house, guests will be shuttled from a nearby location to be provided a few days ahead. UBER/LYFT/dropoff guests will be directed to that location to board the shuttles.

The 1960
Buck and Carlotta Stahl House, aka Case Study House #22, was designed by Pierre Koenig. The Stahl House was made first famous by the Julius Shulman photograph showing two women leisurely sitting in a corner of the house with an evening panoramic view through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. In 1999, the house was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument In 2007, the American Institute of Architects listed the Stahl House as America's Favorite Architecture, the only privately owned home on the list. The Stahl House is a true celebrity, appearing in Smog (1962); The First Power (1990); The Marrying Man (1991); Corrina, Corrina (1994); Playing by Heart (1998), Why Do Fools Fall In Love (1998); Galaxy Quest (1999), Nurse Betty (2000); Where the Truth Lies (2005); and Visual Acoustics (2011). TV shows include Adam-12, Emergency!, Columbo, and The Simpsons. Music videos: I Don't Wanna Stop (2003) by ATB, Missing Cleveland by Scott Weiland, and Release Me by Wilson Phillips. Photos by Julius Shulman and Stahl House Inc.You'll sip California champagne by the pool, tour the house, learn its rich history, and get to meet Bruce Stahl, who grew up there. It is one of most Instagrammable location in America. You might even dip your toes in the water (but sorry, no swimming this time).
