Hip-hop luminary Kanye West made waves in the Malibu real estate scene back in 2021 when he dropped over $57 million on an architectural stunner by the acclaimed Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Now the minimalist concrete abode is back on the market with a $39 million price tag.
Ando, winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize, is renowned for his creative use of concrete, steel and glass to craft structures of pristine simplicity. This Malibu home, completed in 2013, is no exception. With its imposing streetside facade and oceanfront walls of glass, the home is an exercise in harmonizing art and nature through deft manipulation of light and space.
Stripped now to its bare 4,021 square feet of concrete and steel, the interiors await a new owner’s reimagining. But the real value lies in Ando’s flawless design—the 1,200 tons of concrete, 12 massive pylons, and interplay of solid and void.
Sited on exclusive Malibu Road, minutes from beaches and restaurants, the property offers an unparalleled opportunity to own an Ando original. More than a home, it is a timeless work of art on California’s iconic coastline. For the right buyer, this “smooth-as-silk” Ando is sure to provide an elevated experience of architecture and nature.
Earlier this year, West released Vultures 1, a collaborative album with Ty Dolla Sign. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and was his 11th consecutive album to do so.
