Half a decade or so after Pierre Koenig designed Case Study House #22, he finished the Henbest-Birkett Residence in Rancho Palos Verdes. This post and beam mid-century home with its classic folded plate roof line has been thoughtfully renovated by Architectural Digest 100 designer Jamie Bush with landscape architecture by another AD 100 designer Terremoto. If you’re lucky enough to have the resources to lease out this property, it would be a real treat to call this home.

A true mid-century modern masterpiece, this exceptional ocean-view residence was originally designed in 1966 by legendary architect Pierre Koenig, renowned for his iconic Case Study Houses. Recently published and impeccably restored, the home is triple-pedigreed, with interiors by Architectural Digest 100 designer Jamie Bush and a landscape design by Architectural Digest 100 firm TERREMOTO.

Secluded behind high walls, this architectural jewel unfolds into a private world of California modernism. A breathtaking poolside landscape embraces a sophisticated, California-Sauvage aesthetic, while Fleetwood walls of glass dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out. Warm textures, sculptural plantings, Ipe millwork, and two Cor-Ten steel fire pits create dramatic gathering spaces overlooking the pool and dazzling coastline.

The chef’s kitchen features a double island, custom terrazzo counters, refrigerated drawers, AGA Mercury range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and ASKO dishwasher, while the outdoor dining area is complemented by a top-of-the-line Hestan grill station.

The primary suite overlooks the pool and a commissioned Stan Bitters ceramic wall installation. Secondary bedrooms feature custom built-in desks and beds. Bathrooms showcase Heath tile, live-edge walnut vanities, custom terrazzo counters, and Waterworks fixtures.

Architecture. Design. Landscape. History. Ocean views.

A rare Pierre Koenig residence that beautifully demonstrates why California mid-century modernism remains timeless.
