They have been [pulled down](http://manabouttinseltown.blogspot.com/2009/07/anyone-whos-seen-lethal-weapon-2-knows.html) by Mel Gibson’s truck in Lethal Weapon 2, [housed Colin Firth](http://la.curbed.com/archives/2012/11/touring_john_lautners_incredible_schaffer_house_and_talking_about_why_it_isnt_selling.php) in A Single Man, and offeried [a family home](http://la.curbed.com/archives/2011/09/the_man_who_helped_make_lautners_silvertop_a_reality.php) for Clay Easton in Less than Zero. This house in Beverly Hills, known as the Sheats Goldstein residence, provided a party crib for pornographer Jackie Treehorn in The Big Lebowski. Built between 1961 and 1963 into the sandstone of the hillside, it has a roof that shears down from the living room to the pool in one line, pierced with 750 skylights, and a skeleton made from poured-in-place concrete.
