You said the right word that defines these houses and his style…..FUNKY. It reflects from his California upbringing. During that time. 60’s/70’s. His houses are very eclectic. I could see lots of cool 60’s types of parties in these houses. Mama Cass would have liked these houses. 🥹
Anyone else notice that "The Sandcastle" is just a few doors down from "The Wave House"? You can see it in the background of One of the Sandcastle's pics.
good video - enjoy these deeper dives into an architect that was once considered wild; who then helps shift/disrupt the industry. not to mention i really dig his interior styling as well. but those price tags, dang… hahaha
A little steep? you picked this just to upset me, didn't you? :) I'd pay for the C4 charges. It's a cute idea for a cheap wooden construction but it's not worth 5million or even 1. According to pictures it looks like it got new foundation at some point but I can't find any mention of it. The new foundation is a pretty strange design. But with enough C4 it doesn't really matter :) Hopefully no one buys it for even 25. It would take someone as dim as Kanye West to pay that much. Some 'clever' people are trying to pretend that Malibu is a 50-100million$ area when in reality it's more like 3-5.
Ha! Yeah it'll be interesting to see where these ultimately trade. With Gesner's name on them, they'll no doubt get a premium. But I agree... other $50M+ homes in the Malibu area are a tougher sell.
It's a different world. As a Uber driver back in the day I've been used to transfer art collections, I delivered a bottle of Chateau Margaux from 1787 that was valued at $300,000...... Even had someone call me over to deliver a $ .99 romance novel from the far side of Malibu to Catalina Island. Uber is the go to service to transport the children of divorced celebrities too.
Nice Harry Gesner original architecture houses. I am not a fan of curves in a house and curve roof. I like symmetrical design. Gesner houses are art pieces.
Imagine spending 50 million on a house that strangers will be walking UNDER at high tide.... All beaches in California are accessible to the public with the exception of military bases and water/energy facilities. Pretty place but I'd pass if I had the option
Both of these homes are probably going to be bought, then torn down, then a Mansion will be built on each property. The property is the big value because of the location and view. People that spend this amount of money to buy a house, want the house to be how they want it.
so funny i sent this on to a friend before you spoke about airbnb and she is an architect and has a bunch of airbnb's i said to her to design her own home then rent it out on airbnb
You lose 10 feet of ocean front beach for every inch rise in seawater...won't be long before that lot is completely underwater! Probably less that 50 years and the owner will be swimming with the fishes!
Me and you are going to be neighbors in Malibu at some point. The architecture out there is so unique.
Yes we are! Love the architecture.. and just really good relaxed vibes

Those 60s parties were probably a blast. Simpler times...
$700,000 for 100 square feet seems reasonable.
Lol

Yep... they are neighbors!

I know! Those price tags are wild. But trophy properties for sure
Which house do you prefer… the wave house or the sandcastle?
💚 Number 1 ... The Cole House ( Why would you block a sea view from bed with a massive brick fireplace IN MALIBU )
I was wondering that as well ha

It’s ridiculous how valuable Malibu ocean properties are. The ocean goes right up to your caissons and the homes lie directly on PCH.
I agree it’s wild

sandcastle 1000x for sure
Sandcastle definitely feels more like a home
You get to be neighbours with whomever buys the Eisner property.
Too bad the architect doesn’t get lifetime licensing fees on when these houses sell again. The price is partly based on the longevity of his designs.
That’s an interesting thought…

you know what is a really nice/cool house = wilt chamberlain bel-air
If Gesner was the modern day FLW, who is the modern day Gesner?
Oh man that's a tough one. If we're talking living architects, maybe Frank Gehry?
Wonderful mansion,che meraviglia 😮 Tour Enes Ylmazer 🙏 pleaseee

i would be first, but i am carrying 2x4's from this new house i know of.
😂
The second home looks like a billionaire hobbit lives there.
Lol

These unique homes definitely do well on airbnb!
Imagine actually living on the ocean. Almost like living on a Yacht that never moves. Haha
Haha good point
Overpriced its still for sale today sat 4th November 2023… Its a $23 million at best..

First to go due to rasing sea levels. Lol
That does seem like a concern!
Yeah, its only 40 million over valued.
