Four modern homes from famous Hollywood films that will surprise you with their distinctive architecture and elegant decor.
Modern Movie Houses – The Sculptured House from Sleeper (1973)
Modern houses with unusual architecture
Located on Genesee Mountain, The Sculptured House is one of Colorado’s most recognizable modern houses. Architect Charles Deaton was fascinated by the idea of living inside a sculpture and rejected the boxy houses of the 1950s and early 1960s. “People aren’t angular. So why should they live in rectangles?” he said. Construction began in 1963, and the exterior was completed in 1966, but Deaton ran out of money before finishing the interior. The house remained an unfinished shell for decades. In 1973, Woody Allen filmed part of his sci-fi comedy “Sleeper” there, and the remarkable residence was later completed and restored by subsequent owners.
The Big Lebowski: Sheats-Goldstein Residence
The party house associated with Jackie Treehorn in the film ‘The Big Lebowski’ is not in Malibu, but in Benedict Canyon. The Sheats-Goldstein Residence was designed by architect John Lautner, whose distinctive modern houses have often appeared in Hollywood films. Built into a sandstone ledge, the residence has a cave-like quality and a dramatic connection to its landscape. The house also appeared in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Bandits.
A Single Man: The Schaffer Residence
“A Single Man” was filmed in part at the Schaffer Residence, a 1949 John Lautner house in Glendale, California. The wooded setting and redwood-and-glass structure give the film’s interiors a reserved, melancholic tone.
The Lake House
The 2006 romantic drama “The Lake House” was not embraced by every critic, but one element stood out: the house itself. Built specifically for the film on Maple Lake in Willow Springs, Illinois, it was a minimalist glass box on stilts at the end of a dock, with a steel structure reminiscent of Mies van der Rohe. Because it was a temporary set in a protected lake setting, the house was dismantled after filming.
