Question: Pacino's house in Heat?

Who designed the building Al Pacino’s wife lived in in the movie Heat?

Hi, this question is driving me crazy and I need to know as it relates to a project I am working on. At one point Pacino’s character even laments about his life and the house:

Pacino: I'm angry. I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bullshit house if you want to. But you do not get to watch my fucking television set!

I have a hunch that the house is the sixth street house in Santa Monica by Thom Mayne / Morphosis, but I am not sure. Does anybody out there know? Searches of IMDB and seeingthestars.com haven’t been of any use as they’ve only identified the city locations.

I have posted a capture here - although it is only an interior the detailing of the staircase is quite unique.

Help!

No mention in The Worldwide Guide To Movie Locations either.

Why not email Morphosis and ask? Their website is morphosis.net.

I'm pretty certain this is the house in Santa Monica that Thom Mayne (Morphosis) designed for himself - technically a remodel but nearly everything is new.
