Architect Pierre Koenig—best known for his glass-and-steel Case Study homes, like the oft-photographed Case Study House #22 in the Hollywood Hills—passed away in 2004 before completing his final residence. The Malibu home was originally a collaboration between Koenig and director/producer Michael LaFetra, who owned the beachfront property and worked with Koenig to bring the structure to life beginning around 2000.

The blueprints and plans for the project were nearly finalized when Koenig passed away. At the recommendation of Koenig’s wife, Gloria, LaFetra worked with Koenig’s partner, architect James Taylor, to finish the home just as Koenig would have wanted it to be completed.
