I guess when you want that 90210 zip code, you’ll do whatever it takes to get it.
This home sits on a steep and narrow hillside in Beverly Hills, but, hey, it’s Beverly Hills so no expense was spared in taking the lot and building a sliver of a home that fits perfectly into the landscape. Luckily, the owners were more interested creating a feeling of intimacy and privacy, rather than capturing a hillside view.
The main structure is two levels traced along the north-south axis and houses most of the interior spaces. The garage is located at that southern end of the house, along with the more private areas of the home, bedrooms and the gym …of course.
But it’s the north end, and the long graceful walk through the house to the main living areas that opens to the pool and the trees while keeping that sense of privacy. And just beyond the pool is the second house …a second house … as an art studio and guest cottage.
It’s a sliver of a house, but, sitting in the middle of Beverly Hills, it still feels a world away.

Just goes to show....with the right talent, and money no need for a lot of land for a beautiful home. I love this one. Clean, open and organic feeling. I'm surprised I like this, but it a very cool floor plan and love the privacy.
ReplyDeleteI read that as a silver of a horse. Dwelling place of the Lone Ranger? I think I need a nap.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the art studio please. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell not such a sliver after all. Great job designing that. Our friends had a very narrow lot next to their house that they couldn't afford to buy when it was available. But it was so narrow, they figured no one would ever build on it. Someone did. And it's hideous, the width of a garage. And the garage door is the only thing that faces the street. They could have use this architect.
ReplyDeleteAdore this one. The architect and designer have been very clever. I love houses you have to walk through to get the other side - if that makes sense. It means you’re constantly using the whole space rather than a part time f it. Bravo. Good choice Bob.
