LOS ANGELES_Actor Ed Norton of "Fight Club" fame has bought a John Lautner-designed home along the sand in gated Malibu Colony for $11.8 million.
Known as the Stevens Residence, the modernist triumph draws inspiration for its curved form from the shape of waves.
Built in 1968, the wood-and-concrete house features retractable walls of glass, herringbone-patterned floors and wood slats that filter natural light. An open-air section shelters a swimming pool.
A step-down living room, an eat-in kitchen, five bedrooms and five bathrooms also lie within nearly 3,400 square feet of interior space.
Rear decking and a front courtyard create additional living space outside. Steps lead down to 37 feet of sandy beachfront.
The property was offered four years ago for $22 million, about double what it sold for, records show. More recently it was listed for $13.75 million.
Norton, 47, has earned Oscar nominations for his performances in "Primal Fear" (1996), "American History X" (1998) and "Birdman" (2015). Last year he lent his voice to the animated comedy "Sausage Party" (2016).
