Overlooking Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills, this radical penthouse was designed in the 1980s by architect Frank Gehry for a commercial illustrator. Gehry created the look of a miniature city with the design, a collection of colors, shapes and spaces.
Recently renovated, the glasswalled penthouse showcases original mosaic tile work in the kitchen, reflecting the original owner’s love of the medium. In the master suite, the fireplace evokes aziggurat and features an ornamental stairway that ascends toward the heavens.
