With a home like this, you’d almost welcome Kramer for a neighbor. The former residence of Jerry Seinfeld, this $6.3 million Sierra Mar home boasts direct views of both downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. Behind walls of glass lie three bedrooms and five bathrooms, a 4-car garage and a screening room. The home was built on a lot in Doheny Hills, which has room for expansion in case 5,900 square-feet isn’t enough space for Elaine, George or who ever you might want to entertain. [via realtor.com]

When this pedal of this bike hits metal — it strikes 24-karat gold. Scandinavian design team AURUMANIA (which means preoccupied with gold) debuted the Gold Bike last September, a luxury item touted as the world’s “most lavish and expensive bike.” Just 10 of the gold bikes were made and come outfitted with a hand-stitched, brown leather Brooks saddle. Oh, and each bike is “generously” bespeckled with more than 600 Swarovski crystals. The ticket for this ride only costs a little over $100,000. [via AURUMANIA]

The design of Santiago’s Mestizo Restaurant is based in an architecture competition that asked would-be designers to create a space that incorporated imagery from elsewhere. The winning concept — with a child’s pool ring-inspired ceiling, large quarried granite boulders and industrial water piping-turned perimeter lattice — pleased the client, but didn’t quite cut it with city officials with a stake in the restaurant’s Las Américas Park locale. Smiljan Radic Clarke’s final design was tweaked, and the winning imagery was used more abstractly with black concrete ceiling beams and granite mountain boulders incorporated into structural support elements. The result is a contemporary twist the substantial, durable, functional monuments seen in parks everywhere — the pavilion [via archdaily]

In this year’s February issue, Dwell detailed a minimalist concrete Zurich prefab built for “Spartan-minded” clients Christof Meili and Farzaneh Moinian. The Swiss home was designed by Felix Oesch, who oriented the home south, away from the noise of a nearby road and towards emerald views a nearby river. The home’s entrance is framed with a heavy timber door, which opens into a large kitchen, dining and living space with panoramic views of the Rhine and woods. Down banisterless stairs, visitors descend into the first floor, which hosts a pair of bedrooms. Using a prefab design method popular for basement construction, the home was built in nine months from twin panels of 2.4-inch concrete. The panels sandwich a concrete and insulation filling and were cut and mitered for fixtures and fittings off-site. Two 300-foot-deep “boreholes” harness geothermal energy for under-floor heating and hot water. [via dwell and materialicious, photos by Hertha Hurnaus]
