The 4,380-square-foot home features no wood on its exterior and incorporates architectural blocks and steel for durability and safety.

With a Class A roof and minimal upkeep needs, this luxurious property is listed for $8 million, appealing to those seeking both elegance and protection from fires in a vulnerable environment.
This compound is on the market now, asking $8 million. The main home, offering 4,380 square feet, was built in 2008 to withstand 'most brush fires.'
This is not conventional wood framing. There is no exposed wood. Instead, the modern abode was constructed from architectural blocks and steel.
The compound was built by Callas Architects, a Southern California firm noted for many architecturally significant homes in SoCal.
Making use of fire-resistant materials, the angles on the property's structures are largely rectilinear: walls of glass, skylights, clerestory windows, and soaring ceilings.
