The problems at Photobucket seem to continue, but I managed to get these images uploaded.
Today, Julius Shulman takes us to Malibu. This is
"Job 5813: Segel House (Malibu, Calif.), 1980". I've stuck with the color images, but still had to leave some out.
There's nine layers of wood in the sweeping beam.
Wood continues to feature at the side.
By comparison, the rear is fairly plain.
The interior includes some of the boulders from outside.
One of the circular structures houses the stairs. An omitted image gives a closer look.
The kitchen also gets an ocean view.
One of the bedrooms comes with a balcony.
I'll finish with this shot of light from the unusual roof slits playing off the curved walls.

In case you didn't know, this is a John Lautner design, and still stands at 22426 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu. The house belonged to Courteney Cox and David Arquette until 2006, when it was bought by Jamie McCourt, former CEO and co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. McCourt lived in the house for five years before collaborating with architect Michael Kovac to renovate it and add an indoor pool. Because I've posted nine Shulman photos, and because the exterior hasn't changed much, I'm not posting a "now" picture. If you're interested, you can see a whole slideshow of recent images in
an article by Architectural Digest.
