Domus: The Malibu home of legendary Hollywood agent Michael Ovitz
It is an unusual challenge: how to build a Los Angeles-area beach house for the man who has everything, including a palatial art-filled mansion just a few miles away, which, as it happens, you yourself designed? The client is Michael Ovitz, a legendary Hollywood agent, studio executive, collector and patron of the arts. The architect is Michael Maltzan, who designed Ovitz’s nearby Beverly Hills mansion, and in 2020 completed Ovitz’s 1,000-square-metre beach house in Malibu
