Steel & Glass on La Punta Drive, Hollywood Hills

Inspired by the purity of Koenig's steel & glass Case Study Houses & the anticipated Hollywood revival, Michael Gantert took a leap of faith building a new steel & glass house on a rare Hollywood Hills ridge site to survey the coming boom. Sited at the end of a gated private road, appearing as a giant cubist sculpture from Hollywood Blvd., the residence is cantilevered off a plinth-like lower service core, & as a result seemingly floats out over the ridge. While understated, the luxury of space is underscored with marble baths & a generous walk-in closet, a necessity nonexistent in Pierre Koenig's earlier Case Study Houses. 6431 La Punta Dr Los Angeles, CA 90068, $2,300,000. 3BD+2.5BA
