See inside Wave House, the legendary Malibu beach home once owned by Rod Stewart that just listed for $49.5 million
The roofline of Wave House.Gesner said his first sketches of the property were on a balsa wood surfboard, and they remained true to the finished product."It was exactly as it is now, in every way, thrusting out into the surf at high tide and nestled back in the sand at low tide," he told Germany.
The roughly 6,200-square-foot house has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms and sits on less than an acre.But its most notable feature is its roofline, with three oceanfront rooms shaped like cresting waves and large windows overlooking the churning sea.Those three rooms are ringed by 176 feet of curved deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean.In the center of the 56-foot by 44-foot living room is a fireplace flanked by Santa Barbara fieldstone.
Another focal point in the room is its sunken conversation pit, a favorite midcentury design convention.In contrast to the parts of the home that jut towards the sea, there's also a section that settles into the rocky landscape.
There's some speculation that the Wave House influenced Danish architect Jørn Utzon's design for the Sydney Opera House.To that, Gensler replied,"I wish people would not insist that something looks like something else, but they do. It's human nature and a bore." Rock star Rod Stewart purchased the home in the 1970s, and sold it to Mo Ostin who, according to the Wall Street Journal, oversaw Frank Sinatra's Reprise label and signed acts like Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and Madonna.
