The Shell House

$1,950,000

The Wallace Neff Shell House, carefully restored by its current owners with a commitment to preserving the integrity of Neffs original architectural intent, the residence remains a remarkably intact artifact of mid-century innovation.Set on an approximately 9,000-square-foot corner lot, the two-bedroom dome dwelling unfolds as a study in organic geometry and spatial efficiency. Beneath the curved shell, a circular half living room radiates from a central fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen and adjoining bath. The homes monolithic form blurs distinctions between structure and sculpture, embodying Neffs belief that architecture could be economical, resilient, and profoundly modern.In addition, the property includes an over 1,000-square-foot detached studio space, with submitted ADU plans in process with the city. This structure currently incorporates a large open public space, bath and separate bedroom. Further underscoring the propertys historic significance is a rare Airform-constructed bomb shelter, added in the 60s, approximately 15 feet below the studio. Two patio outdoor seating areas, one nestled between the dome and detached studio space, the other positioned just outside the dome, are thoughtfully integrated within the surrounding gardens and gated drive.Originally conceived in 1947, The Shell House stands today as the sole surviving example in the United States of Neffs visionary Airform construction system. Also referred to as Bubble House, a reinforced concrete construction, erected with an inflatable balloon and then sprayed with gunite, this experimental post-war housing concept fuses futurist engineering with sculptural domestic design. The Shell House represents a singular chapter in American architectural history, an extraordinarily rare convergence of preservation, experimentation, and design vision.

$16,495,000

The Shulman House. An extraordinary architectural estate designed by Steven Ehrlich, FAIA, and regarded as one of the most important residential properties in Brentwood. Concealed behind mature canyon landscaping on approximately 1.3 acres, this nearly 9,000-square-foot, six-bedroom residence is a rare convergence of world-class architecture, scale, privacy, and land. Completed in 1992 for Academy Award-winning screenwriter Tom Shulman, the home received the AIA National Award for Architecture along with multiple additional honors, establishing it as one of the defining residential designs of its era. Despite its pedigree, the property has remained remarkably private, quietly hidden within the canyon for decades. Reached by a long private driveway, Ehrlichs design is both restrained and dramatic.
