643 Radcliffe Avenue, Pacific Palisades, $2.999
This 4-bed, 3.5 bath renovation of a much earlier house by architect Warren Techentin took place in 2005 and gave the place a Constructivist vibe. The listing says it's fully walled and gated and can be managed from an iPhone, and while we love that, we also love the kitchen and the highly-finished surfaces throughout the rest of the house. Plus the mountain and ocean views aren't bad, either. More images at the realtor's dedicated site. Open both Saturday and Sunday, September 29 and 30 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM

601 Swarthmore Avenue, Pacific Palisades, $3.795M
New construction, this long, sleek house replaced an unprepossessing Spanish house from the 1920s but managed to save two of the splendid vintage sycamores out front. While keeping the form of a big stucco mansion from the '30s, the windows are arranged almost randomly out front, and inside, the spaces have high, pitched ceilings and the sleek details you expect in a house that's almost $4M. More images at the listing link, above. Open Sunday, September 30 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM

16544 Akron Street, Pacific Palisades, $2.375M
One of an identical pair of houses on a steep canyon lot built in 2009, this house by Predock-Frane is still an up-to-the-minute example of LA design– a complex, open plan of folded volumes with varied levels and ceiling heights. And not a lot of doors. There's almost no usable outdoor space except for a patio in the cleft between the wedges, although the living room wall slides open to the canyon view. On the top floor, the long master suite has a wall of built-in storage and an open bath at the far end. A visually exciting house that may prove a challenge to live in, but certainly worth a look. Open Sunday, September 30 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM

Newly built, this long, sleek house replaced an unprepossessing cottage house from the 1920s but managed to save two of the splendid vintage sycamores out front.
While keeping the form of a stucco mansion from the '30s, the windows are arranged almost randomly in front, and inside, the spaces have high, pitched ceilings, stone floors, and the sleek details you expect in a house that's almost $4M.

One of an identical pair of houses on a steep canyon lot built in 2009, this ipe wood-clad house by Predock-Frane (at top) is still an up-to-the-minute example of LA design– a complex, open plan of folded volumes with varied levels and ceiling heights. And not a lot of doors.

A visually exciting house that may prove a challenge to live in, but certainly worth a look. Up-to-the-minute real estate marketing now calls for some kind of story in their images– so no, we have no idea what the guy in the blue shirt is up to. Open Sunday, September 30 from 2:00PM to 5:00PM
