This Modern Marvel by Patrick Killen in Manhattan Beach is for Sale

Cool glass cubes and the expansive views of sunsets over the Pacific define the house together. And those sunsets come every single night. Let’s not forget that. But even aside from the scenery – what a house. Cool blue tinted glass and red mangaris wood (primarily from Indonesia and Brazil) juxtapose the solid and transparent. Designed by legendary Patrick Killen, this stunning modern home sits under a dramatically cantilevered roof on a sloped street in Manhattan Beach, CA.

The facade was created from alternating cubes of blue-tinted glass and warm, red mangaris wood. The slope of the hill emphasizes the cantilevered roof.

The house is very linear, in large part thanks to the slat wood ceilings and flush, built-in everything.
