    I saw this house in a UBS ad in Money Magazine and it's on UBS's their website. I really like the design and location of it, does anyone know what city/state it is in or any other information about it. Thanks in advance.

    Different skyline. If it's here, I'm guessing it's in the Palisades, overlooking Santa Monica.

    Definitely one of the California modernists. At first glance, I thought it might be a Lautner project, but I suspect it's something else.

    I also thought it's a Lautner, though I'm struggling to place it. There is a list of Lautner buildings used in TV/magazines here: http://www.johnlautner.org/biblio.html which doesn't feature it, however it could be that this ad is more recent than when the list was compiled.

    I saw this ad while working with UBS not too long ago, funny, I was curious of its location at that time too.

    This particular house is often featured on many fashion photoshoots as well.

    I have always been interested, but I have never really get a hold of it's whereabouts and it's architect.

    That house exists in a world where engineers have convinced building officials that glass is somehow 'structural'.
