The 3-bed, 4-bath home is 3,574 square feet and offers a dramatic vaulted glass half-domed facade with concrete masonry massing and steel featuring prominently throughout an atypical (for Kappe&rsquo;s palette) and vertically-oriented design beset by several outdoor balconies.&nbsp;</p> <p>Its listing follows that of the <a href="https://archinect.com/sciarc" target="_blank">SCI-Arc</a> cofounder's 1991 <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150423009/ray-kappe-s-keeler-house-lists-for-12-million-in-los-angeles" target="_blank">Keeler House</a> in nearby Pacific Palisades for $12 million.
