Malibu · California · Private clifftop estate
Where the cliff ends, the house begins.
Three cascading volumes of Roman travertine, glass and weathered teak on one acre of private headland, with thirty metres of infinity edge set level with the Pacific.
The estate
Completed in 2026 and offered fully furnished, down to the bouclé in the screening room.
The house is set on the first line of the Malibu coast, on a headland that falls straight into the surf. Three volumes step down the rock, each one shading the terrace below it, so the glass walls can stay open from morning to dusk.
Roman travertine, full-height glazing and weathered teak — three materials for the whole estate, chosen so that the ocean stays the loudest thing in every room.
The story
Eighteen months from the first terrace cut into the cliff to the evening the house lit the headland for the first time.
The cliff is terraced; foundations are anchored into the rock above the surf.
Travertine panels and full-height glazing rise volume by volume against the ocean wind.
The last scaffolding comes down at dusk; the house lights the cliff for the first time.
The setting
No neighbour in the frame, no road in the view — the site holds the whole headland, and the coast road passes a hundred metres above the roofline.
Private amenities
Five rooms on the lower level, each one built around a single idea.

The reveal
Every frame on this page was generated by Estate Luma — from the empty headland to the finished estate. The cliff, the construction, the travertine and the Milky Way over the pool were all built from one brief, with no photographer and no day on site.
