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.

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.
