Club James is a series of accessory structures adjacent to the famous John Lautner-designed Sheats-Goldstein Residence for owner James Goldstein. At over 10,000 square feet, it consists of a rooftop infinity tennis court, home offices, recreation room with fully equipped bar and dance facilities, movie screening room, dinning terrace, and lap pool. Initially starting with a schematic design for the tennis court and a guest house by John Lautner's office, then by Architect Duncan Nicholson and newest designs are overseen and updated by Conner & Perry Architects.
