El diseño curvilíneo de la casa Louise Foster se considera uno de los primeros encargos residenciales en solitario de John Lautner. Ubicada aproximadamente a un kilómetro al este de la 405 en Sherman Oaks, un barrio de Los Ángeles, California, la residencia poco convencional con vistas al valle de San Fernando, fue construida para Louise Foster, una maestra de escuela, en 1950.
 
John Lautner fue uno de los discípulos más sobresalientes de Frank Lloyd Wright. La casa muestra espacios y materiales que son referentes de la arquitectura orgánica del maestro y se asemeja a la Casa de David y Gladys Wright, una casa elevada y circular que Wright realizó para su hijo, en 1952.
La residencia, que se encuentra en una parcela de unos 516 metros cuadrados, con un acabado exterior en madera roja, de secoya, tiene un tamaño modesto. Las dos plantas contienen dos dormitorios y dos baños dentro de sus aproximadamente 110 metros cuadrados.

La casa ha pasado por algunas renovaciones en los últimos años. Según usmodernist.org, Lautner decidió transformar una parte de la cochera de la casa en una sala de estar en 1964, y en 2012 la arquitecta Helena Arahuete convirtió la sala de estar en un segundo dormitorio.

Con el tiempo, la casa se ha convertido en otro ícono residencial histórico y con un precio de venta de € 1,43M, es difícil imaginar que la casa permanezca en el mercado durante demasiado tiempo.

John Edward Lautner (1911 – 1994) was one of the most significant architects to have worked in Los Angeles. A disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright, he designed from the inside out, often blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor with his use of materials and emphasis on Page 3 transparency. The James Goldstein House enjoys spectacular views over the Los Angeles basin, encompassing the Pacific shoreline and stretching to the hills and mountains.

John Lautner designed over 200 architectural projects during his career, but many designs for larger buildings were never realised. In the architectural press his extant body of work has been dominated by his domestic commissions; although he designed numerous commercial buildings including Googie's, Coffee Dan's and Henry's restaurants, the Beachwood Market, Desert Hot Springs Motel, and the Lincoln Mercury Showroom in Glendale, sadly, several of these buildings have since been demolished. With a handful of exceptions (e.g. the Arango Residence in Acapulco, the Turner House in Aspen, Colorado, the Harpel House #2 in Anchorage, Alaska, the Ernest Lautner house in Pensacola, Florida) nearly all of Lautner's extant buildings are in California, mostly in and around Los Angeles.

The Sheats Goldstein Residence is a house designed and built between 1961 and 1963 a short distance from the Beverly Hills border. The home was originally built for Helen and Paul Sheats and their three children. Helen, an artist, and Paul, a university professor, had previously commissioned Lautner for the 1948-1949 Sheats Apartments project located in Westwood adjacent to UCLA.
