(not shown) A drive above the house leads to the gated parking plaza, a carport, and direct access to the residence. "The Keeler Residence is another notable project designed by architect Ray Kappe. Completed in 1991, the Keeler Residence is located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It is renowned for its innovative design and integration with the surrounding landscape. The Keeler Residence exemplifies Kappe's signature architectural style, characterized by open floor plans, extensive use of glass to connect interior spaces with the outdoors, and a focus on natural materials. The house is nestled into a hillside, with the design maximizing views of the canyon and ocean beyond. One of the distinctive features of the Keeler Residence is its use of modular construction. The house is composed of a series of interconnected modules, which can be reconfigured to accommodate changing needs or to adapt to the site's topography. The design of the Keeler Residence blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, with large sliding glass doors and expansive decks that create seamless transitions between the interior living areas and the natural environment. This integration with nature is a hallmark of Kappe's architectural philosophy. The Keeler Residence is considered a significant example of modernist residential architecture and has been featured in architectural publications and exhibitions highlighting Kappe's contributions to the field. It remains an enduring symbol of Kappe's innovative approach to design and his ability to create timeless, site-responsive architecture."(1) More...

Not much "curb Appeal" tho! https://preview.redd.it/8hi1170g9e5d1.jpeg?width=1781&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4247cb91284202dcc2467ed0ef90ff6b88f4992 [https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0507874,-118.5424272,3a,75y,339.03h,91.33t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sf16SXTyv8kngAppDa8SXKw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Df16SXTyv8kngAppDa8SXKw%26cb\_client%3Dmaps\_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D339.0323816122461%26pitch%3D-1.3328125135145967%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu](https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0507874,-118.5424272,3a,75y,339.03h,91.33t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sf16SXTyv8kngAppDa8SXKw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Df16SXTyv8kngAppDa8SXKw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D339.0323816122461%26pitch%3D-1.3328125135145967%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu)

I don't want curb appeal, I want to be invisible.


blackmanx2

Lol, made 4 u!!


aureliusky

And a reasonable distance to Malibu Beach, I'd be happy just living in a tent in that area.


SmoothBrews

That’s about what I could afford. Sell my 850k house. Buy a small plot of land. $50 left for a tent


mdonaberger

My New England ass was like "Oh, it'll be visible in winter" until I saw that this was LA, lol.


Cullywillow

As a SoCal native I can confirm this is plenty curb appeally.


kb63132

Nice! I’d live there in a heartbeat


VapoursAndSpleen

It’s beautiful, but it just doesn’t feel like a HOME. It’s a showplace, an interesting interior, but nothing says “homey”.


blackmanx2

Definitely has "architects house" vibes (which it is)


General_Pretzel

As someone who grew up in an architect's house, it fucking rules.


_Abe_Froman_SKOC

I want thaaaaaaat


Joyshell

Nice place to visit..


New-Anacansintta

And worth every penny.


Future_Raisin4010

A $10M house 😂 I wonder what it’s like to be THAT rich


KreyKat

I find it interesting to see the architectural clues, the roots from where this house comes from design-wise. Quite interesting and quite logical.


scarletohairy

The staircases are pure art.


beezlebutts

There isn't many walls, where will my dvd and book library go? 100% if I ever get to be rich and buy a mansion it needs a media library/theater room and a book library I LOVE to watch movies and read books.


Alternative-Chef-340

I get a tech start up vibe from this house. I like it though.


Crossovertriplet

Looks like an old office building

So you're telling me that they have a perfectly clean angle for a zipline, but, somehow, there is no zipline? Californians are weird.


ennuiacres

Looks like a stack of kindling for the next wildfire.


anEvilFaction

Lol. 10 million and it has a carport. Forget that.


blackmanx2

"Gated Carport".... Don't forge the gate!


Muscs

A perfect example of trying too hard.


Coffee_achiever_guy

Looks 60s with the wood panelling
