Wow. That's horrific. I know it's attempting to replicate brutalist architecture, though, even in that respect it seems to fail and mixes in some unbelievably cheesy design choices like those bathrooms. What the hell is the story behind this place? Who commissioned it? Who is the architect??

I have a friend, a very beautiful woman, who dates a guy who’s friends with Jannard’s son, Jim Jr.
She has been there many times and has posted pics of the place, and some of its stunning view.
She told me she was really turned off by the place when she first got there, saying something like “brutalism is supposed to be for the outside only!” But she said the place really grew on her and she slept like a baby the second time they slept over.

Fuck this is absolutely hideous. OP, I think you have found the ugliest house ever. Thanks, I hate it. I've actually seen prisons that look nicer inside and out. Living in this would be a punishment in itself
As R3 says, its a land value only proposition, although I guess you could gut it and make it into a huge carpark, cover it all with greenery, and then plonk an actual nice home on top of it. Otherwise I'd flatten it and start over

R10 Why not both?
R20 I wondered about the purpose of that room too, and yes, it DOES look like a room where dissections would be done. And maybe have been, I would not be surprised
The house at R28 isnt great either, but at least it isnt an absolute monstrosity and is actually livable inside. The exterior is bad but at least it isnt offensive like the one OP posted
If I had to choose something in a modern style that Falling Water knockoff that was the subject of a thread here linked below is far far nicer, not sterile like this horror

It looks like something that would be created by a Patrick Bateman type, if he wanted to live in his very own Galactic Empire's Death Star. It's a horrendously ugly concrete and cement monstrosity that doesn't have an ounce of warmth and I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that it has a hidden trophy room in some corner, where the current owner keeps mementos of his victims.
Who would EVER want to waste USD 68 million on this aberration that will have to be demolished so they can build a decent home in tis place, when they could get a MUCH nicer house with actual land surrounding it for a modicum of that price? It just doesn't make any sense.
Of course, some Saudi degenerate or Indian crook will love it and cover everything in gold, add rococo furniture and hideous 1980s sofas and keep some of their enslaved staff there, after they've stolen their passports.

He basically built it as a storage locker/meeting space. It looks a bit like a conference center, so that makes sense. There's way too much building for the plot of land and I'd imagine that it creates drainage problems for nearby properties when LA gets one of its occasional driving rains.
