A funky, trapezoidal house in Venice, California, is for sale for $5.8 million.
J. Stewart Burns, a writer for "The Simpson," and his wife, screenwriter Lillian Yu, own the home.

From a distance, J. Stewart Burns' house in Venice, California, looks like it's upside down. A flat roof rises up from a triangular-looking base. One wall is a nearly unbroken slab of gray, and one side of the home appears to be supported by an all-glass room.

From a distance, J. Stewart Burns' house in Venice, California, looks like it's upside down. A flat roof rises up from a triangular-looking base. One wall is a nearly unbroken slab of gray, and one side of the home appears to be supported by an all-glass room.

Located steps from Abbott Kinney Boulevard and Venice Beach, the house consists of two towers connected by a bridge.
