Postmodern

Set a stone’s throw from the beach, this L.A. home by Eric Owen Moss comes with lots of outdoor space and three separate units spread across four floors.

Over the course of 50 years, Frank Weise turned a carriage house into a residence and studio defined by intricate brickwork and a dramatic mansard roof.

Designed by Ed Niles, this crisp, white residence has floor-to-ceiling windows and a sprawling patio overlooking the ocean and downtown L.A.

Arranged in a U shape around a small olive grove, each of the Villa's three wings has a separate entrance.

Tucked away at the end of a long, private driveway, the Nine-Square House appears as an inviting cube-like volume in the middle of a forest.

The Glebe House by Chenchow Little architects is defined by its arched details and wedge-like form.

The home's unique use of glass and steel—along with its curved, multi-level structure—can be savored upon arrival. Soaring trees pepper the large property, creating a peaceful oasis.
