Your home is basically one long, awesome rectangle — tell us the story behind your oddly shaped abode!
"One of my favorite things about the city is that it's filled with unusual architecture. The house I live in is sort of like a glass cabin — it was once a shed or arbor that ran off of an old concrete sports court from the '30s. In the '90s, my landlord was going through a divorce and needed a place to live. He turned his back shed into a house with the help of an old Hollywood set decorator who lived next door. It's not a large space, but the theatrics are there. The choice to line the whole fourth wall with glass doors is very dramatic. I love the original concrete floors that were stained and then polished. I'm up on a hill, so there are tons of creatures that come out at night — it's really the perfect city cabin."

The narrow living room basks in the sun from an entire wall of glass and skylights above.
