Open Space | The Pearlman Cabin, John Lautner 1957

In the 1950s, Dr. Carl Kenneth and Agnes Branch Pearlman sought a holiday retreat, drawn by their love for the arts. They settled on Idyllwyd, a charming community, to build their family getaway. Discovering a challenging parcel of land, Agnes enlisted architect John Lautner to design the home, as other architects were either unavailable or uninterested in the site's complexities. Inspired by the round table in the main living area, Agnes envisioned an organic architecture that seamlessly blended with the lush surroundings.

Constructed over a year by Nancy's brother, the home became a cherished gathering place for the Pearlman family and their guests, who reveled in art and creativity amidst the Idyllwild landscape. Following her parents' passing, Nancy took on the responsibility of preserving and sharing the home, hosting yearly gatherings to honor its legacy.

Nancy hopes that The Pearlman Cabin will endure through generations, a testament to her family's enduring love for art and nature.
