78 Malibu Colony, Malibu, California
Looking over the sandy beach, this iconic five bedroom house, declared a California State Cultural Landmark, sits in the famed Malibu Colony, California.
Built in 1968 as architect John Lautner’s first Malibu project, the Stevens Residence’s striking glass, timber and concrete exterior was designed to resemble waves.
The property’s iconic shape had been described as an ‘avant-garde boat’.
In 2007, film producer Michael LaFetra bought the property and restored it to its former 1960s glory, while some upgrades build a bridge to the present.
As a result, the original cedar planking throughout the property has been carefully replaced and intended, but never implemented lofts have been realized.
The property doesn’t just boast a fantastic position, sitting on the sandy beach, but also a large deck, grassy yard and the large pool; cork flooring and solar energy enhance the house’s sustainability.
Reportedly, John Lautner was the only architect able to fit a residence with a pool onto the limited building ground.
Its unique shape, big windows and interior layout don’t just mean a number of rooms enjoy breathtaking views over the Pacific Ocean, but the property is also flooded by natural light.
High ceilings and rounded shapes make the residence feel open and spacious, while built-in furniture ensures all available space is used as effectively as possible.
The interior, including built-in furniture, has been restored to its near-original state.
Sold through Knight Frank, the Stevens Residence clocks in at $19.75 million (€17,944,366, £12,632,484).
