One of America’s most eclectic and interesting architects, Harry Gesner was known for his innovative and unconventional architectural designs such as The Wave House, Triangle House, and Sandcastle. Gesner’s Sandcastle home in Malibu, his longtime family home, is now for sale at $22.5 million.
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. , Sept. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — America’s Surfer Architect: Harry Gesner’s Sandcastle Malibu Beach Home Is For Sale
One of America’s most eclectic and interesting architects, Harry Gesner was known for his innovative and unconventional architectural designs such as The Wave House, Triangle House, and Sandcastle. Often inspired by the surrounding environment, Gesner gained recognition for his unique approach to design, particularly his incorporation of organic forms and his willingness to challenge traditional architectural norms and difficult building sites. Gesner’s Sandcastle home in Malibu, his longtime family home, is now for sale at a reduced price of $22.5 million.
Sandcastle, also known as the “Malibu Sand House,” was built for Gesner’s fourth wife, Nan Martin, who was a well-known Broadway actress. Made almost entirely from reclaimed materials, the home gets its name from its unique form, which resembles a sandcastle that you might build on the beach. The design features curving lines, exposed wooden beams, and large windows that provide breathtaking views of the ocean. The use of natural materials and the integration of the structure with the surrounding environment showcase Gesner’s dedication to creating architecture that harmonizes with nature.
The six-bedroom, six-bathroom property on 122 feet of Pacific Ocean beach and panoramic views was built in 1961. The home’s inside focal point is a large brick fireplace and hearth in front of the sunken living room. The overall design incorporates elements like a spiral staircase, built-in furniture, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a solarium with stained glass panels, eyebrow windows, loft space, and expansive decks enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and contributes to the overall character of the beach home. According to Gesner’s son, Gez Gesner, “The house was largely built with salvaged materials such as old telephone poles, maple from a high school gym, old-growth redwood harvested in the 1800s, and windows and doors from one of Hollywood’s silent film theaters.”
Gesner’s design philosophy to create homes that provide functional living spaces is seen throughout the property, which includes, additional to the main home, a “tree house” apartment with a kitchenette, living and dining room, bed and bath; the “boat house” with a full kitchen and bath, bedroom, and living and dining room area; and another one-bedroom “nest” apartment above the indoor-outdoor cabana.
Gesner’s personal life was almost as interesting as his home designs. Born in Oxnard, California in 1925 to an artist mother and inventor father, Gesner attended Santa Monica High School and became one of Southern California’s expert surfers and a skier. Enlisting in the Army at age 17, Gesner was initially assigned as a ski instructor in Colorado but later moved to the infantry where he was part of the D-Day Omaha Beach invasion in Normandy, France. Gesner credited his surfing skills he used to evade the Germans’ bullets that helped him survive. He also was a soldier in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 where he was severely injured, developed gangrene, and barely escaped amputation of both legs.
After the War, Gesner moved around to New York, Ecuador and Mexico before going back to Southern California, where he began working in construction and became a self-taught architect. He was married four times and died in 2022 at age 97. Gesner was still surfing until just a few years before his death.
Sandcastle is listed with Zen Gesner and Chris Cortazzo from Compass.

A match made in hospitality heaven! Heart of Midlothian selects RoomRaccoon as the hotel management system for Tynecastle Park Hotel.
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Sept. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — RoomRaccoon, a leading hotel management system for independent hotels, has been selected by Heart of Midlothian, the Scottish Premiership football club, to streamline the operations of their upcoming unique hotel at Tynecastle Park Stadium, Tynecastle Park Hotel.
The anticipated Tynecastle Park Hotel is set to be a 25-room hotel within the Main Stand in the 20,000-capacity venue. It promises to enhance the club’s off-the-pitch offerings and create a truly exceptional destination for fans and visitors alike.
“Working with the team behind Tynecastle Park Hotel has been a fantastic experience,” says Ed Kerr, Market Head of RoomRaccoon UK and Ireland. “Their well-defined goals and objectives made it easy to demonstrate how RoomRaccoon, both as a software solution and as a company, perfectly aligns with the property’s requirements.”
The decision to select RoomRaccoon was intuitive for Heart of Midlothian, as they aim to enhance the guest experience through modern hospitality while preserving the club’s iconic identity.
Valerie Mentiplay of the hotel project team emphasises the importance of maintaining a seamless in-house appearance, stating, “The ability to customise the interface to align with our brand is crucial for us, and RoomRaccoon offers us just that and more.”
With boots on the ground in the UK and its user-friendly interface, RoomRaccoon beat out the competition to take on Tynecastle Park Hotel’s technical operations.
“Our decision to collaborate with RoomRaccoon for the hotel launch was driven by their excellent customer service, which included having a dedicated local contact. As a platform, we were drawn to the all-in-one user-friendly design and function, particularly the ability to manage all our rates from one platform,” says Derek Paterson, the Hotel Manager of Tynecastle Park Hotel.
Tynecastle Park Hotel will use RoomRaccoon’s dynamic pricing tool and RaccoonRev, the system’s native revenue management tool that shares market insights and benchmarks performance against competitors. More sophisticated insights and automation will benefit the Tynecastle Park Hotel team in developing a pricing strategy that is attractive to prospective guests, leading to increased occupancy and revenue per available room (RevPAR).
“Without the luxury of a team dedicated solely to looking at rates, the Revenue Management function within RoomRaccoon will be a key feature for us and will help give us the confidence that we are making the most of our rates whilst being able to focus on service and looking after our guests,” says Derek.
RoomRaccoon’s Founder and CEO, Tymen van Dyl, says: “We are incredibly honoured to have been chosen by Heart of Midlothian as their trusted hotel management system provider. We understand the unique significance of Tynecastle Park Stadium in the hearts of fans, and we are committed to empowering Heart of Midlothian FC and their new team at Tynecastle Park Hotel with our advanced technology so that they can focus on creating memorable and seamless experiences for their guests.”
