Tucked alongside a large dorm building on the fringes of Woodbury University's campus in Burbank, Los Angeles, California in the United States is a small but very eye-catching house.

The 425sq ft (39.5sq m) home is contained by a gently curving concrete form equipped with a generous porch and a dramatic sloping roof. Slender, carefully staggered floor-to-ceiling windows gently illuminate the interior.
