HOTEL LAUTNER , a mid century time capsule !

Love this space.
The Hotel Lautner in Palm Springs California.

It's like a mid-century design time capsule. Restored brilliantly by Tracy Beckmann 
and Ryan Trowbridge,this space was originally built by legendary architect 
John Lautner in 1947 as a model for a master-planned desert community.
Its his only hotel design and was actually  motel until rescued and 
brought back to life in 2011.  

The space is made of only 4 interlocking units.
They duo added in a pool during the renovations keeping the old structure
 intact and leaving a space between the new walls they built.

I will be sure to pop by in 2013.

 I first spotted the Hotel Lautner in the Town and Country magazine. 
This is a great shoot, and really embodies the vibe and feel of the space. 
Gretchen Mol in Palm Springs, so simple and so elegant. 
sadly I cant recall having watched her in a single movie.
