There is no shortage of interesting residential architecture in the Los Angeles area of Abbot Kinney and Venice Beach. But this distinct domicile in Venice, CA, built by Viennese architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, is a real standout.

J. Stewart Burns, a TV writer and producer whose projects include “The Simpsons” and “Futurama,” purchased the wildly original Venice landmark in 2014 for $2,300,000, property records show. He recently listed the home for $5,800,000.

The gated compound has four bedrooms and 3.5 baths, in 2,522 square feet of living space.

The unique, asymmetrical exterior is described as having “raw drama,” and that appraisal certainly fits. The home is built of concrete, glass, wood, and structural steel.

Those materials also are found throughout the sculptural interior, with a warmed and softened effect. Natural wood ceilings and shelving structures wind throughout large portions of the house.

The decidedly vertical structure features an open floor plan and a Bulthaup kitchen, full of top-of-the-line European fixtures and appliances.

The spacious living room is full of natural light, filtered through towering glass walls.

The bedrooms are bright and airy, thanks to multiple windows and glass doors leading out to balconies and decks.

The primary suite features remarkable wood built-ins, a closet, and a bath, where the windows and skylights are discreetly frosted.

An outdoor bridge connects one wing of the home to another, allowing access to the spectacular rooftop deck. A bar, comfortable seating area, and expansive views make the deck one of the home’s many highlights.
