The Venice, California home, also known as Tectonic House, was completed in 2001 by Viennese architecture firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, per the listing.
"Venice is filled with all different styles of homes, from cutting-edge, architecturally significant residences to beach cottages that date back to the 20s and 30s," Sandra Miller, the listing agent from Engel & Voelkers Santa Monica, told Insider.
The house fits right into the neighborhood, which is known as a laidback beach community with strong art and cultural ties, Miller said.
Architecture students sometimes gather outside the home to study its design, Burns added.
