A new era of indoor-outdoor living
Located in the middle of the Palm Springs desert, the Kaufmann House is the perfect reminder that architecture is as much about the setting as it is the structure itself.
With its sandy-colored Utah stone, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sliding glass walls, Richard Neutra’s visionary design is a masterpiece in indoor-outdoor living. But instead of integrating seamlessly into the surrounding environment, the house was designed to create a juxtaposition between the striking man-made construction and its serene setting.
One of the most photographed homes in the world, the Kaufmann House was first made famous by Julius Shulman’s evocative 1947 black-and-white shot, and later by Slim Aarons’ 1970 photo Poolside Gossip. In our quest to reimagine some of the world’s most celebrated architecture, we enlisted the expertise of 3D visualizer and Lumion enthusiast Carlos Rodriguez to reproduce the photos that brought it to prominence.
In this insightful interview, we’ll reveal the final results and delve deeper into the process of replicating these recognizable images.
