Re: David Lynch LA House
#12It certainly looks interesting. You would definitely be living in his style. Compelling as his films were, I'm not 100% convinced I'd want to live in his house that clearly has some very personal motifs. Also you are never going to get the stale smoke out of there!
I worked on a house occupied by heavy smokers for a couple decades (then they died).
Nicotine yellow everything.
We pumped it full of ozone. That did a good job destinking. Then we painted everything with killz.
We also sterilized the basement with uv deathlights.

#13Love this compound and all the hiking paths up around in the surrounding hills. Truly an peaceful property to immerse yourself in work and entertaining! Property taxes are gonna spike for the new buyer though due to prop 13 so make sure to factor that into your offer vs the $15k a year in the listing...
Hopefully whoever buys this gem doesn't tear it down to build some modern boxy McMansion.

#14I like the contrast between the kitchen and the home theatre, I guess he was not much of a chef haha

#15Actually didn't know Frank had an architect son. Personally I prefer the Millard House which is similar and probably an inspiration. The Millard House is the archetype Minecraft House.
What a dreary sad anachronistic description.
Re: David Lynch LA House
#16Interestingly, this article made me learn that Frank Lloyd Wright had a son who also was an architect, and that son also had a son that became an architect.
I dunno, I just find that a little bit cool and interesting.

Looking at the full set of photos in the Zillow link that esalman posted, sorry, but that kitchen has gotta go.

#18Anyone know anything about those fluted V-shaped panels everywhere? They look like very heavy cast iron.
They remind me of the floor of the black lodge in Twin Peaks.

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
TFA says “The facade’s cement chevrons catch the sun” but I’m not sure about the ones inside.
Yeah the outdoor ones definitely look like cement. The indoor ones are probably too. Though they have a patina that makes them look like worn iron.
Lynch made those himself out of grey plaster. They didn't show much of Lynch's studio, but that's where he spent most of his time hanging out, making sculptures and paintings and building things. He was hands on guy who kept himself busy, compulsively so.

#20I wonder if the price would be significantly different if it wasn't David Lynch's house.
