S
cott Gillen has always had a passion for the creative
process, first as a filmmaker and then as a custom
builder, applying his hands to every facet of the
process, from architecture to interior design. He
craed his first home on Abbot Kinney and then embarked
upon a new Malibu proper—e Carbon House—that he
now resides in with his family. He designed and built the
one-level, 6,800-square-foot residence on approximately 4
acres on Carbon Canyon Road, complete with his signature
exposed beams, open spaces, soaring ceilings and custom
furnishings throughout. Massive windows on both sides
of the 240-foot-long home allow for breathtaking ocean
and mountain views from every room. Some of the show-
stopping features include a massive great room with an
open chef 's kitchen featuring custom ash wood cabinets
and Wolf appliances; an ocean-view master suite with a
private patio; a gym; and a media room. "It's a great house,"
says Gillen of Scott Gillen UNVARNISHED (scottgillen.
com). "It's large, but very cozy and intimate at the same
time. It's got a beachy vibe…a good vibe." What's next for
the developer in Malibu? Selling the newly completed
15,500-square-foot proper—e New Castle—that just
hit the market for $85 million. Plus, a new project—e
Case—featuring five Mid-century modern homes atop a
bluff in the guard-gated Malibu Colony communi, set for
completion in mid-2020.
