The Goldstein Estate is home to the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence (1963) by John Lautner. Originally constructed for the Sheats family in the early 1960’s, the house was purchased by James Goldstein in 1972 and he enlisted Lautner to embark on a series of renovations and improvements to “perfect” the home, until the architect’s passing in 1994. At that time there were schematic designs in place for adjacent entertainment facilities including a tennis court, guest house, and garage/maid’s quarters. Lautner protege, Duncan Nicholson, took over the renovations to the home and continued to develop the designs for the entertainment facilities as well as the construction of a James Turrell Skyspace, “Above Horizon”. During this time the program for the new facilities grew to include a home theater , private nightclub, library, offices, dining terrace, and lap pool.

Nicholson’s untimely death in 2015 led project architects Kristopher Conner and James Perry to form Conner & Perry Architects, which is now the architect of record for the property. They are continuing to oversee construction and develop designs with the owner for the lower terrace, home theater, and guest house portions of project, as well as overseeing maintenance and restoration efforts for the original residence. This property is a cultural mainstay of Los Angeles, featured in many motion pictures, fashion, and editorial photography, and has been bequeathed to LACMA by Jim Goldstein so that it may remain accessible to the public to inspire future generations of designers and enthusiasts.
