The Lautner Compound Twilight Wine and Nibbles Reception and Tour

Let’s raise a glass and celebrate John Lautner’s iconic desert hideaway! This is a rare opportunity to view “The Lautner” at night while you sip on some wine and enjoy light nibbles with owners and designers, Tracy Beckmann and Ryan Trowbridge. Learn about the history of this secluded wonder directly from the team that lovingly restored it. Be regaled with stories and secrets, and see the play of light cast on the intricate angles of this moody modern masterpiece. It’ll be an evening you won’t forget!     

John Lautner's 1947 residential fourplex, formerly introduced as Hotel Lautner, and now affectionately called The Lautner Compound. Now a collection of 4 boutique properties masterfully restored and designed: The Lautner, The Park, The Ranch House, and the newly acquired Clubhouse. "The Lautner" operates as an elite vacation rental property allowing architecture aficionados from around the world a chance to live the "Lautner Lifestyle" and is only open to the non-booking public once a year in honor of Modernism Week. 

Lautner is the most famous protege of Frank Lloyd Wright and "The Lautner" is reminiscent of Wright's school of architecture, Taliesin West, in Scottsdale, Arizona where he studied for 6 years. John Lautner was one of last century’s important contemporary American architects. His work was concerned with the relationship of the human being to space and of space to nature. Lautner is also known for the Bob Hope residence and the Arthur Elrod residence located in Palm Springs. But don't hold your breath for an invitation to see these private homes!

Your ticket price will also include the opportunity to experience "The Park"–a 10,000 sq. ft. open-air event space, "The Ranch House"–a 1957 California Bungalow which is an extension of their guest services for weddings and special events, and the newly acquired “Clubhouse” available for weddings, special events and lodging.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the John Lautner Foundation, striving to preserve the Lautner archive; educate the public on the architecture of Lautner; and provide support for preservation, protection and maintenance of all Lautner structures. Be a part of this important movement by supporting the foundation so that you too can play an integral role in preserving Lautner's architectural legacy.
