In Malibu, California, a USD 49.5 million architectural wonder that honours the beauty of the ocean has gone on the market. The amazing six-bedroom home, also known as Wave House, was created in the 1950s by visionary architect Harry Gesner. The home’s aesthetic was said to be inspired by the Sydney Opera House.

Legend has it that Gesner spent several days camped out at the location when he had the idea for the unusual 6,200 square foot home that rests on less than an acre of oceanfront ground. He immersed himself in the natural environs and watched the waves as they ebbed and flowed. He is reported to have developed the home’s blueprints while surfing one of those waves, drawing them with a grease pencil directly on his surfboard. At high tide, he imagined Wave House to stretch into the surf, fusing with the ocean, with projecting rooflines that resembled breaking waves. Revolutionary Design
