Thanks for the extra info,
Martin Pal.
We're back to private homes for today's Julius Shulman post, but it is a Malibu beach house. This is
"Job 5415: William Provisor, Luster House (Malibu, Calif.), 1977". Here's a selection.
I was going to stick with the color images, but there wasn't one of this view. I think the photographer is reflected in the window.
You'd have to like wood to live here - it covers nearly every interior and exterior surface.
Despite the wood, the interior is very light and airy.
The stairs lead up to this walkway. I assume the doors are closets.
This is the upstairs room with the ocean view.

With all that wood next to the ocean, I didn't hold out much hope of the house surviving, but here it is at 23768 Malibu Road. I like the name of the company in the top-left

It looks like the Luster name in the description refers to Elizabeth Luster, and possibly her physician husband Dr Henry Luster. Elizabeth Luster was the adopted daughter of Max Factor, Sr's daughter Freda. I've only managed to find that Henry Luster is deceased, but not when. Getting considerably more internet coverage than both of his parents, their son,
Andrew Luster, appears to be currently incarcerated for date-rape charges originating in 2000. He was born in 1963, and the house was built in 1974, so 23768 Malibu Road could have been one of his childhood homes.
