Here in Malibu
 

A home designed by the son-in-law of Frank Lloyd Wright makes the front page of the Home section of the LA Times today. Set on five coastal acres, it's now the home and and workplace of composer Graeme Revell and his wife, Sinan, an artist. How do you find the place? Read on...

Drive past the tabloid photographers camped outside Brad Pitt's compound on Pacific Coast Highway, get buzzed through a white entry gate, then ramble down the long, sloped driveway, and you'll see it — one of Peters' last creations, part Modernist box, part Buddhist temple. The pitched roof looks Asian in inspiration, sheathed in shimmering tiles, each shaped like a rolling wave and glazed a cerulean blue.
