Overlooking Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills, this radical penthouse was designed in the 1980s by noted architect Frank Gehry for a commercial illustrator. Gehry created the look of a miniature city, assembling a collection of colors, shapes and spaces.
Recently renovated, the glass-walled penthouse showcases original mosaic tile work in the kitchen — an expression of the original owner’s love of the medium. In the master suite, the fireplace was designed to evoke a ziggurat and features an ornamental stairway that ascends toward the heavens.
