Club James entertainment venue was designed by Conner & Perry Architects across seven decades in Los Angeles. Adding to an iconic hillside property by John Lautner, the firm has previously overseen alterations to the pad made famous in The Big Lebowski. A swimming pool, dining terrace, barbecue zone and kitchen facilities feature in the hillside property, complete with a new movie screening room. Architects want their work to be “an evolution of the visual language” of the original designer.

As one of Los Angeles?s most famous mid-century homes, the Sheats-Goldstein Residence is nearly as iconic as the Hollywood sign itself, having been featured countless times in film, television, fashion, and music videos, and widely revered in architecture and design circles. With a long and complex construction history that initially began in 1962 between John Lautner and the Sheats family, and later with Lautner and current owner James Goldstein, the famed Beverly Hills enclave has been expanded upon and enhanced numerous times throughout the last seven decades in collaboration with three different architectural teams.
Kristopher Conner and James Perry, of Conner + Perry Architects, have collaborated with Goldstein on the design and have overseen subsequent additions since 2015. Prior to that, the duo worked as Project Architects with Duncan Nicholson, Lautner?s apprentice and associate, who continued work at the property following Lautner?s death in 1994.
