Chemosphere
The Chemosphere, designed by American architect John Lautner in 1960, is an innovative Modernist octagon house in Los Angeles, California. The building, which the Encyclopædia Britannica once called "the most modern home built in the world",〔 is admired both for the ingenuity of its solution to the problem of the site and for its unique design. == Design == The building stands on the San Fernando Valley side of the Hollywood Hills, just off Mulholland Drive. It is a one storey octagon with around 2200 square feet (200 m2) of living space. Most distinctively, the house is perched atop a 5-foot-wide concrete pole nearly thirty feet high. This innovative design was Lautner's solution to a site that, with a slope of 45 degrees, was thought to be practically unbuildable. Because of a concrete pedestal, almost in diameter, buried under the earth and supporting the post, the house has survived earthquakes and heavy rains.〔 The house is reached by a funicular.〔 Chemosphere is bisected by a central, exposed brick wall with a fireplace, abutted by subdued seating, in the middle.〔
