Architectural Masterpiece by Richard Neutra – Malaga Cove. Step into history (and a little architectural legend) with this all-steel residence, one of Richard Neutra’s most exacting and delightfully over-engineered designs. Perched at the southwest corner of the northwest corner of prestigious Malaga Cove, the home enjoys a 270° due west-facing panorama of the Palos Verdes Cove and the endless Pacific—basically front-row seats to the world’s most reliable sunset show. Commissioned by Dr. Beckstrand, the home gave Neutra the freedom to experiment like a mad scientist in a drafting room—debating the exact gauge of aluminum light troughs, perfecting the connection of steel sash windows, and designing sliding glass-and-steel doors so guests could drift between the living room and patio without spilling a drop of their drink. When the HOA insisted on Spanish tile roofs, Neutra politely disagreed… and found a way to make it work anyway, designing parapets that kept his modernist vision intact. Acting as his own general contractor, he chased bids for everything from major steelwork to the andirons by the fireplace, because no detail was too small for his obsession. This isn’t just a home—it’s a living piece of architectural art with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop and a designer who thought of everything so you wouldn’t have to.
