Club James entertainment venue was designed by Conner & Perry Architects across seven decades in Los Angeles. Adding to an iconic hillside property by John Lautner, the firm has previously overseen alterations to the pad made famous in The Big Lebowski. A swimming pool, dining terrace, barbecue zone and kitchen facilities feature in the hillside property, complete with a new movie screening room. Architects want their work to be “an evolution of the visual language” of the original designer.
