Inside A Futuristic $23,500,000 Oceanfront Mansion | On The Market | Architectural Digest

Today Architectural Digest brings you to Encinitas, California for a tour of the stunning and modern Crescent House, a spacious mansion situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Currently on the market for $23.5 million and designed by architect Wallace E. Cunningham, the shape of the crescent moon was a recurrent source of inspiration - from the circular terrace to crescent-shaped infinity pool. The effect is almost futuristic, something reinforced by having featured in the third season of HBO's 'Westworld.' With unbeatable ocean views and 4 bedrooms across over 6,200 square feet of space, the Crescent House is a uniquely luxurious home, worthy of its extraordinary location.

The good news is that when it falls into the ocean next year, all of the sustainable materials will provide a bizarrely designed haven for the ocean wildlife.

[@mkelly534]

Yes, that dirt cliff would make me very nervous given the history of earthquakes and landslides during heavy rains in Southern California. If it was a rock cliff then I would be totally in love with this. It looks like something from an Ironman movie

I was thinking the same, why would you not want to be able to see the ocean while in the pool???

[@lewiswhitewood3864]

23 million and the bath is a triangular hole in the floor that you have to squat in, step into to open some drawers and you'd break your neck if you tripped on the taps. Outside looks like a multi-storey car park and is falling into a cliff. This may be the most ridiculous property AD have shown

It didn't even have a shower on the ceiling. Not even a detachable shower on the side, like its common sense.

[@sulmanb]

I had to re-watch after your comment but you’re right…the tub is legit a triangular hole in the ground. This guy went totally overboard on his artistic theme and forgot that this was actually something people had to live in each day. Feels totally like an academic architectural study/project and not something someone would actually want to live in each day. Everything in this house looks like it could stab or slice you lol

[@LoriM222]

LMAO, that's funny

[@Beelzebub0407]

you can clearly see when a house is not created with the purpose of living in, but rather an investment art piece. this concrete structure made of harsh lines, sharp angles and unfamiliar shapes seems impractical to live in, but serves more of a purpose as a demonstration of wealth. to live in this home tells those around you that you can afford another home when this one sinks into the ocean, that you have a pool but never use it, that every time anything breaks in this house you can afford to have a specialist in parallelogram sinks to come and fix it. the architect has made an extremely artistic space, but let’s be honest, not many older people would want to exist in a cold concrete box for the rest of their lives.

[@ReeKent100]

I think it is a storage facility for someone that owns 25 to 50 tables.

[@lmao355]

in my opinion its the worst kind of architecture. it just feels so sterile. like Patrick Bateman sterile.

[@makimoko]

Parallelogram sinks lmao!

[@bsenka]

For sure, this is a place for people who collect properties as speculative investments, not an actual home.

[@roonerjeff]

I wouldn’t mind it at all the views are great. Light is tremendous. Why should you live in an ordinary box, if you can afford something different?

[@Doupik]

Swimming pool where you can't swim. Splendid.

[@KelliMarissa]

I find it ironic that the architect said he made the home to be accessible to everyone with the ramps and different counter heights, but has a potentially dangerous hole in the floor of the primary bathroom (with stairs no less!)

[@Ma_Wukong]

And that's how a truly villain coastal mansion looks like.

[@mllerosediamant]

Especially with all the fire features🔥

[@JohnFromAccounting]

The concept is interesting but the result is a lot of unusable space in the house due to the shapes.

[@user-xg6zz8qs3q]

It's not a bad thing. Because large spaces require multiplication of furniture: sofas, bookshelves, chairs, dining tables etc...

[@RWMoortgat]

It's undeniably a striking house with many interesting ideas. The one thing I don't get is the pool, which to me seems like the afterthought. Why stick a pool in a shady off-corner when you've got so much ocean-side space? It's so ..... tucked away

[@imscanon]

Too much erosion on the ocean side. Can't put a pool there. In a shade spot is better as it's hot there but the pool is more for looks than function.

[@gavinhalm3016]

Afterthought?! The entire design of the home "revolves" around the pool! 🤣

[@rebelheart3840]

Wondering why no rooftop pool&jacuzzi instead of this dead concrete dolphin theatre with no views 🙈

[@lucky889s9]

This is money laundering property

[@YungMomJeans]

I, a lowly poor, would never want to live in a house like this. However, I think it's incredibly impressive that the design and features are so unique and striking that I instinctively recognized it from the premier episode of Westworld S03. The scene in which it appears was filmed mostly at night, with very few wide angles yet the DNA of this house was an integral part of the production design. Kudos to the designer for making something truly 1 in a billion.

[@idiocracydude]

I believe the ocean already has a bigger claim to this land than I would.

[@rooneye]

[@Painless201]

[@berrey7]

So impressive, yet it feels cold and depressing. I have a feeling it looks so much better in person.

[@lanisehoward8397]

It’s not a happy house for sure 😅🥲

[@laurelavie5586]

This goes to show that you can’t design a space solely around views of the ocean.. this has got to be the most awkward and impractical house I’ve ever seen. The architect clearly designed it with no specific ideas on who it’ll accommodate, and I doubt any child, young adult or elderly person would enjoy squeezing into the awkward corners of the tub, the pool, or the kitchen counters.

[@casbrowne9055]

The tub is more like a water feature than a tub

[@tanyacaso4339]

I watch a lot of design channels and view the interiors of many peoples homes on KZbin and this is handsdown the most impractical and cold and badly designed and quite frankly down right dangerous interior I have ever seen. Apart from the fact that it will slide off into the ocean sometime soon, the amount of windows and glass and concrete in an earthquake doesn't bear thinking about and the angles everywhere are an accident waiting to happen. Glass = sunlight= fading of furniture and clothes and damages the skin, its like a torture chamber where you can't get away from the sun and hard lines. Just terrible. Good luck whoever is stupid enough to buy this.

[@tomleww7975]

[@stefan514]

@@bngr_bngr even if the house would keep standing strong, the value of the property will tumble if the garden starts eroding away

[@PrefabTinyModularHomes]

This home is "nice" in the traditional sense, but it does almost feel lair-like and somewhat of a cold vibe. An aspect that's driving this could be the heavy use of concrete without enough other architectural and interior design elements to balance it all out. Certainly a lot of home for $23.5M, but it doesn't feel worthy of the gorgeous California landspace on which it sits.

[@macedesign]

Ok - put aside the danger of living with razor sharp tables, counters, and the fire place. Put aside a walk in closet that breaks your hip if you change your clothes in the dark.. It’s the absolute gall of this $23mm hazard house to put a tiny sunken bathtub(?) between the cabinet and sinks??? Someone will 100% fall in, or stub toe on the ground faucet. Also, how should you open those cabinets in the back? @8:30 there is clearly no where to comfortably sit, saying it’s sloped perfectly lmao 🤣😂

[@mllerosediamant]

I think they messed up while designing/building and were just like “let’s just put a hole there for them to wash in and call it art”.

[@michaelhiltz7846]

"I want the house to be accessible for all ages" puts the bath in the primary bathroom in the ground with the taps on the floor right next to the sink so someone can trip and fall into the bath tub and smash their head against a concrete wall

[@AmadeusRowe]

Kitchen is a crime for a house that nice

[@conquerordie230]

The patio already has multiple cracks in the concrete indicating the bluff is unstable and eroding. They're trying to offload this house before it collapses, run. Also, just because you can design it doesn't mean you have to. The house feels cold, convoluted, and awkward. It's as appealing as this guys untucked shirt.

[@jonnyfendi2003]

[@edramirez1240]

Call me a hater, I don’t find the house very calming. All those sharp angles would be like living inside Picasso’s Guernica painting.

[@Tobazhniazhi]

The exterior is beautiful but does the interior design really need exaggerated angles? I noticed the kitchen counter and even the beds are angled, I sense vertigo rather than a nice asymmetrical aesthetic

[@chucklebaby]

Yeah, 23 million for a house that is going to be in the ocean AND I can hand my neighbors sugar through the window because they are so close? How did this monstrosity get approved to be built.

[@Jogwheel]

For $23 million, I think I'd want more than a half-acre of land to live on, hah.

[@brettcarter5142]

Average land value Los Angeles to Long Beach is 2.6 million per acre and I assume this location is on the expensive side of that average. Maybe someone with unlimited money would act like there’s nothing to think about for including a big yard, but in reality would most people buying this house prefer an extra half acre of grass for $2 million? Also consider for this property if they wanted a half acre area to play on, they could just walk outside their property line to the common area for lots of space. A large majority of people essentially don’t use their back yards and balconies if they have one

[@Jogwheel]

@@brettcarter5142 I feel like you missed my point. If I am spending $24 million on a house... I'd prefer a bit of distance and privacy from my neighbors.

[@brettcarter5142]

@@Jogwheel but is it worth driving up the property asking price 10% for essentially a few feet on either side of the property?

@@brettcarter5142 Again, you are missing my point. For $24 million I'd expect several hundred feet of oceanfront to myself. No neighbors at all.

[@brettcarter5142]

@@Jogwheel how do you expect that? How are you pricing real estate to say you expect more? Do you have a good comparable to point to in the same area to help indicate it’s overpriced and it’s fair to expect more at that price? Are you working out the price per sq foot combined with land to say it’s overpriced? In an expensive city with this much land this house would easily be way too cheap at just 24 million and it’s unrealistic in an expensive area to expect houses not to be packed into lots, there’s a reason why downtown’s are filled with expensive houses and small backyards, the price per sq foot is drastically more than people are willing to actually pay

[@tuckshop]

Incredible piece of architecture. That said, it favors form over function and makes some features less than optimal. For example, the funky angles on the dining room table means that people sitting at the acute angled corners are sharing the same leg space and banging knees. The pool is shaded by the sheer walls, and the sharp angles at the corners of the pool also make for difficult maintenance. One small slip in the tub of the Master Bathroom will send you to the ER for stitches. So many sharp edges begging to maim you. But of course I’m nit-picking.
