The Dahlstrom Residence, John Lautner, 1949

In this episode, we visit the Dahlstrom Residence in Pasadena, California, one of John Lautner’s remarkable residential works. We’re honored to sit down with architect and architectural historian Frank Escher, who shares the story behind the home and offers insight into Lautner’s unique approach to architecture, design, and the Southern California landscape. Designed by John Lautner, the Dahlstrom Residence reflects his ability to create deeply personal spaces that blur the boundaries between architecture, nature, and everyday life.

Through Frank’s perspective, we explore the history of the house and the lasting genius of one of Los Angeles’ most influential architects. The Dahlstrom Residence is currently on the market and is listed by Rob Moore. We hope this special home finds a new owner who will appreciate its history, architecture, and significance and help preserve it for generations to come.
