The exterior of the house is anything but subtle. Pronounced mid-century modern, it represents a dynamic, sloping roof, canopies and a deeply recessed door in turquoise with three round windows. Near the entrance, three turquoise pedestals reveal chunks of what looks like crystal, framed by a red-tinted slate hanging behind it.
Interior highlights include cliff windows, custom-made cabinets, and unusually shaped mirrors. Outside, a shaded atrium is home to a wood-paneled hot tub – and lots and lots of succulents. In the secluded location, countless orange and aqua-tinted panels decorate the wooden walls and masonry.
