What is Chemosphere? by John Lautner

John Lautners Chemosphere House is described by the LA Conservancy as an octagon perched atop a twenty-nine-foot high, five-foot-wide concrete column like a flying saucer on a stick, the Chemosphere is recognizable even to those who know nothing else about mid-century architecture.
It was designed for a young aerospace engineer to be located on an extremely steeply graded lot where the home would somehow perch upon it and with only a small budget to work with. When Lautner was given the site in 1960, there were two common methods for building houses on this type of terrain. The ground could be cut to level a platform or the house could be supported on an open steel framework.
