Funny what you'll find surfing the web. I built the outcropping at the top of the stairs a couple of years ago. The rest of the work was existing, but took lots of repair.
The house is in Thunderbird Heights, an old club. Think Lucille Ball. I believe it was around 10,000 sq.'. The whole thing from the sky looks like a giant thunderbird.
