The list of accolades for Monika Haefelfinger and Scott Utterstrom’s firm XTEN Architecture runs into the dozens. The acclaimed international company based in Los Angeles and Switzerland specializes in custom contemporary constructions that combine the notorious precision of the Swiss with California’s progressive, experimental spirit. Soaring above the city of Los Angeles with the majestic Pacific Ocean in the distance, this striking residence is among XTEN’s award winners—a standing that, with its generous use of glass, crisp clean lines, unique fluid layout, and emphasis on the view—it rightly deserves.
