A '70s surprise: Encino glass house comes full circle, twice
Peter and Shannon Loughrey, the couple behind Los Angeles Modern Auctions, found an architectural surprise in Encino: a 1972 design playground composed of twin dodecagons, 12-sided structures filled with circular spaces and expanses of glass overlooking the valley beyond. What others might have written off as a '70s disaster is being turned into a modern showplace.

With the fire pit roaring and a Verner Panton chandelier lighting up a pink-purple kitchen with full-on 1970s style, the Loughreys' house glows at twilight. The house, designed by the Los Angeles firm Benton/Park/Candreva, consists of a single-story dodecagon with kitchen, living room, conversation pit and dining area, and a two-story dodecagon with bedrooms and a study.
