Set high above Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, Laurel House is a custom luxury home designed around a series of open, interconnected living spaces with expansive views across the city.
From the landscaped arrival court, a double height glass entrance reveals the scale of the design, while bringing daylight deep into the interior. Warm wood, stone, glass, and living plants continue from the outdoors in, softening the architecture, and giving the modern home a natural feel.
Designed for both large-scale entertaining and everyday living, the main level is set within an open floor plan that uses subtle changes in scale to distinguish between one area and the next. A glass enclosed wine cellar, modernist dining room, indoor gardens, and visually textured details create a comfortable modern interior for luxury living, while sliding glass walls open these spaces to an outdoor terrace with infinity pool, spa, and sweeping city views.
Upstairs, the spacious feeling continues with a walkway overlooking the level below, and an upper level family room for more relaxed gatherings. This communal space separates the primary suite from the guest accommodations, which include two full suites, and three additional bedrooms.
The lower recreation floor includes a family lounge, bar, game area, and luxury home theater with starry night sky ceiling, as well as a home gym, sauna, steam room, and salon in a separate wellness area. A fully self-contained guest suite, also on this floor, includes private living spaces and a modern kitchen.
Enjoying 360° panoramic city views is the rooftop terrace, where a large sports court, fire pit lounge, and dining and seating areas enjoy year around open air living.
Throughout its modern design, Laurel House balances expansive glazing and open volumes, with the warmth of natural materials and textures. It’s a comfortable indoor outdoor home for LA's luxury resort lifestyle.
