"Elrod House: Bed Red" by Leland Y. Lee, 1968
About the Item
The year was 1968 and the futuristic glass and curved concrete architectural icon had not yet met its worldwide recognition as the house in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.
Lee was faced with the grand challenge of capturing both the dramatic indoor/outdoor elements while showing the myriad aerial perspectives of the home; an almost impossible task due to its aerial perch on the side of the glorious Santa Rosas mountains overlooking the desert. But Lee executed the direction beautifully focusing on personality points of the home and intimacy within its various spaces lending the viewer a true panoramic view of its cohesive character.
Lee went on to become friends with designer Arthur Elrod and enjoyed shooting the Lautner House on other occasions.
Lee has enjoyed an illustrious 70-year career in architectural photography that includes a stint from 1953 to 1961 working with the industry’s icon Julius Shulman. His photography has appeared in Architectural Digest, Home Magazine, House & Garden, Designers West and countless others.
