Bill wasn't joking.

It's sheer height ruins the sense of scale along the street.

Cotten-Elliott House, Michael Tolleson, Architect 1991

Emeryville-based architect Michael Tolleson designed the De Stijl-inspired house for Roy D. Cotten and Claudia Elliott in 1991. The abstract design attains an aesthetic balance using projecting and receding boxes enveloped in monochromatic grey. The house, perched on a hillside above Griffith Park Boulevard in the Franklin Hills of Los Angeles, California, can be seen from a great distance. Located at 2216 Ronda Vista Drive.
