I have passed this intriguing house dozens of times on my way to visit relatives living in Santa Monica Canyon. The five-bedroom, five-bath house is situated on a huge (50,000 sq.ft.+) lot and has (as can be partially seen in the back), a fantastic sculpture garden. The house was originally designed for Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Sultan in 1974 by Kahn, Kappe, Lotery Architects (Herbert Kahn, Raymond Kappe, Rex Lotery). Currently, the house and art collection belong to adventure-seeker and philanthropists Dallas Price and her husband David.
Dallas Price is a seasoned mountaineer; she has conquered the highest mountains on seven continents, including Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 1986; Mt. El'brus on the Russia-Georgia border in '89; Mt. Everest, the highest of the seven at 29,020 feet, in Tibet in '90; Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina in '91; Mt. Kosciusko in Australia, the lowest at 7,310 feet, in '92; Mt. McKinley in Alaska in '93, and Mt. Vinson in Antarctica in '93. Price also owns California Design, Inc., which is responsible for the interior design of American Golf facilities. She is a founder and trustee of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles as well as a member of the Fellows of Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Santa Monica Museum of Art.
She and her husband, David, were co-commissioners of basketball for the 1984 Olympics. She is a member of the UCLA Foundation Board of Trustees and serves on the Nominations Committee and helped establish the David G. and Dallas P. Price UCLA Chair of Law.
The Price House is located at 14181 Alisal Lane in Santa Monica, California.

Architect Rex Lotery designed the Modernist style house for French actress Corinne Calvet in 1959. The actress was promoted "as a combination of Dietrich and Rita Hayworth", but her persona failed to live up to this description, though the fault lay as much with a string of mediocre films as with a lack of a compelling talent. Her sultry looks and flashing eyes were allied with an impish sense of humor. She eventually became better known for her fiery private life and some well-publicized legal battles.
The 6-bedroom, 8-bath home in 8800 sq. ft. is currently (January 2022) listed for sale $27M and described in part as "Sparing no expense, design team Philippe Naouri and Eric Choi of Maison d'Artiste, in collaboration with Studio Tim Campbell, have fully reimagined this architectural treasure. Conceptualized for French actress Corinne Calvet in the 1950s and inspired by a chance meeting with Charlotte Perriand, Lotery pulled out every artistic stop in his design to honor and maintain mid-century minimalism. While he may never have imagined the modern luxuries that have been adapted to fill this artful space, he no doubt would approve of the current adaptation and precision of which has insured the integrity of the original design for years to come".
Located at 1061 Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills, California.
