The Chemosphere is a modernist house in Los Angeles, California, designed by John Lautner in 1960. The building, which the Encyclopædia Britannica once called "the most modern home built in the world", [1] is admired both for the ingenuity of its solution to the problem of the site and for its unique octagonal design.
