This property is on the market for $20,000,000, listed with Coldwell Banker

No, this isn’t a SpaceX concept for homes on Mars. 

This futuristic Malibu property is on the market with The unique residence is the work of contemporary architect Ed Niles, whose striking postmodern designs can be found across Southern California. 

The architect describes warmth in a residence as “a state of mind...You can feel warm in that you feel secure. It’s like being in a diving bell under the ocean. You’re encapsulated.” 

Built in 1992, the property is made entirely of rolled steel frames and walls of glass, and was designed to take in the surrounding landscape of Malibu. 

A glass skybridge—suspended 16 feet in the air —connects two separate structures. In the pod-structure, there are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and the master suite boasts a private terrace with a hot tub.

The pod-like structure also contains the office, den, gym, living and a dining area, and kitchen. 

The 35-foot semicircular great room has large doors on either side, connecting to both the front entryway and out to the backyard. 

Nestled in 2 acres, with its pool and terrace, and panoramic views of the Pacific ocean, this once-in-a-lifetime property in Malibu, California.
