The Glasshouse on Carbon Beach

On the sand of Carbon Beach — the mile and a half of Malibu shoreline that has drawn more moguls per foot than any coastline in America — The Glasshouse is a study in subtraction. Architect Reiko Tanaka's 2016 design is two floating planes of concrete connected by glass, with nothing between the great room and the Pacific but a teak deck and seventy feet of private frontage.

The main level is a single flowing space: kitchen in honed basalt, dining for twelve, and a sunken lounge oriented to the surf. Upstairs, four bedroom suites face the water, while a media room, gym, and staff suite occupy the landward wing. Radiant floors, gallery lighting, and a Crestron system throughout; the beach-level spa deck holds a cold plunge and cedar sauna.
