Rob Zombie has never been one to shy away from dramatic, unusual spaces. In Los Angeles, the heavy-metal musician and horror film director (born Robert Bartleh Cummings) owned a two-house compound in L.A.’s Hollywood Hills, crafted by architect Robert “Boulder” Thorgusen in the 1950s with soaring glass walls and dramatic folded-plate rooflines.
While those houses have officially sold, another uniquely designed property from the shock rocker’s past has just hit the market. His former Connecticut estate—aptly named the Origami House—is now listed for $6.5 million with William Martin of Douglas Elliman. True to Zombie’s eye for innovative handiwork, it resembles a three-dimensional piece of modern art that gracefully unfolds amid the wooded landscape as an interconnected series of geometric forms.
Glass walls flood a soaring living area with light and frame lush forest views.
