Imagine if the International Space Station landed on a Malibu, Calif., hilltop overlooking the ocean, and you might get somewhere close to envisioning the onetime home of the late Milton Sidley and his wife Saralyn Sidley.<\/p>\n
The property is an eye-popping blend of curved steel and glass that appears at one end to hover over the landscape. From above, it looks more like a factoryor the secret lair of a Bond villainthan a family home. <\/p>\n
It is not warmat least by conventional standards. <\/p>\n
Everybodys definition of the word warm is very interesting, says Ed Niles, the Los Angeles architect who designed the home. Personally, I think its a state of mind. Yes, theres not a big roaring fireplace and there arent walls wrapped with a million paintings and drawings of your mother. But you can feel warm in that you feel secure. Its like being in a diving bell under the ocean. Youre encapsulated.<\/p>\n
Mr. Niles designed and constructed the property for the Sidleys, then a couple of empty-nesters, in the late 1980s. Mr. Sidley died in 2019, so the station is landing on the market for $20 million.<\/p>\n
