Our out-to-the-edge floating glass walls that eliminate the divide between outdoors and in bring nature’s thrilling visuals right inside our luxury bedroom suites, elevating them into truly resort style spaces. It’s one of our favorite ways of incorporating nature’s inspiring beauty and elemental warmth into built environments, and adding these views also helps to support overall health and wellbeing, via the benefits of biophilic design. Studies have shown that spending time in, and/or connecting with nature, can help to lower heart rate, blood pressure, stress, and cortisol levels, while improving focus, cognitive function, and creativity. Our luxury bedroom suites, oriented towards the views, are full of these beneficial sights of sunrises, sunsets, blue skies, and panoramic landscapes; inspiring both calm contemplation and exhilarating energy, the perfect combination for a space where we start and finish our days. Additionally, floor to ceiling glass can fill bedrooms with natural sunlight, a crucial element in regulating our circadian rhythm and sleep cycles.

At our Serenity house the art-filled primary bedroom is a private retreat that becomes a bright and sunny poolside den with mountain views and direct access to the pool terrace and putting green when sliding glass walls are opened. Above the bed is a custom wire mesh art piece by artist Michelle McKinney, depicting leaves, flowers, and butterflies in motion. A private courtyard off the suite features a sculpture by Dorit Levinstein called Renoir Dancers XL, which can be viewed from three different areas of the suite.

The views continue in the luxury primary bathroom, where a handcrafted walnut bathtub has views through floor to ceiling glass windows of the lush terrace landscaping and sunlit desert mountains. A double-size semi-circular glass shower ringed by a walnut walkway is lit by a round skylight overhead, and a 1,000 sq. foot closet includes three islands, a fireplace, and three skylights with soffited indirect lighting.

At our Bighorn house, the poolside primary bedroom suite is wrapped in glass, and features warm walnut floors, ceilings, and cabinetry, complimented by a chocolate-colored wall treatment.

Views of the calm infinity pool and desert mountains beyond can be seen through the floor to ceiling sliding glass walls in the bedroom, and the glass walled bathroom, where a rain shower and soaking tub look out on landscaped greenery.

Our Bundy Drive house is a celebration of the sporting and entertainment lifestyles of Los Angeles, but is also a retreat, full of quiet spaces designed for rest and rejuvenation. The primary bedroom wing includes a luxurious black and white marble bathroom, two separate closets and dressing rooms, and a light-filled resort style bedroom with views of the Getty Center, one of the greatest repositories of art in the world. The adjoining private terrace features open air views and fireside seating. 

The central atrium-like open volume space at our Trousdale house creates an expansive home that still feels like it “lives small”. This central volume is the magic that allows, “a visual connection along different axes within a house, reminders of where you are going and where you have been … Absent this strong design drive of the central volume, the family connection is lost …” Trousdale’s theme of connection continues throughout the home, including in the primary bedroom, where a sense of living small is shared with the backyard pool terrace. This outdoor space extends in a V-shape, ending in a large circular fire pit with built-in seating. With views from the primary bedroom reaching out to this pool terrace, and from the terrace back to the bedroom, and to the central living spaces of the home as well, a sense of living small is maintained.

Interiors in the bedroom include Mindi wood, a James Nares painting, Holly Hunt headboard, Ironies custom nightstands from Kneedler-Fauchere, and three-inch thick distressed resin chests with an amber pool effect.

Benedict Canyon’s primary bedroom suite begins with a light filled library. This room leads to the bedroom, where an entire wraparound glass wall brings in sweeping panoramic views of Los Angeles’ green canyons and ridges. All is warmed by solid walnut plank ceilings, 10-inch oak custom stained flooring, and a two-sided stacked-stone fireplace with mounted TV screen.

Attached is an outdoor terrace with fireplace and views.

Modern his and her dressing rooms and a luxury bathroom with Carrara marble shower, quartz countertops, and views complete the suite. 

The design style that drove the creation of our Laurel Way house was the idea of a jewel box, and each room and living space in the home embodies this, with an individually conceived, precisely functional, dramatic sensory experience, and depth of architecture. The primary bedroom suite is no exception. Secluded on the top floor of the house, the bedroom and bath both open floor to ceiling glass walls to jetliner views of Los Angeles’ palm trees, blue skies, and city lights. A private terrace with hot tub, sun deck, and 18’ fire feature create a luxury outdoor experience. Inside, a sleek low-rise Minotti Moore bed, 60” glass fireplace, 65” television, and wet bar hidden behind coplanar lacquer doors create a luxury space.

In the bathroom, a freestanding bathtub and Antonio Lupi sinks and vanities all open up to the views.

A minimalist modern walk-in closet includes separate shoe storage and Italian cabinets.

The clients for our Summit House were art collectors with a passion for modernism, and their large art collection was incorporated into the design of the home. In the bright primary bedroom, the vibrant colors of the decor and landscape complement the hanging art.

The same serene view as the primary bedroom continues in the minimalist bathroom.

On the second floor of our Summitridge Drive house, the primary bedroom suite is surrounded by wraparound terraces and views.

Indoors, warm wood flooring contrasts with the high gloss sycamore veneer ceiling that has a mirrored effect. Sliding glass pocket walls add to the floating quality of the room, as they disappear completely inside the structure of the house, and open up the bedroom to the private terrace and expansive LA views. The same marble found on the exterior of the home is used in the bedroom’s fireplace. 

Summitridge’s primary bath is a duet of amenities, with two water closets, two vanities with hidden TV screens, and two showers.

The adjoining closet and dressing area features a luxury stingray covered center island with biometric fingerprint reader and felt lined custom safe with watch storage and auto-winding system. The additional dressing area cabinetry is treated with a high gloss polyurethane lacquer in gray.

Hutton Drive 2641 opens up its central living areas to a modern backyard pool terrace with an upper level sun deck balcony with fire pit. Connecting directly to this, via a private Ipe wood walkway bridge, is the primary bedroom suite, with views of the patio, pool, upper lounge area, and trees beyond. In the bedroom, a motif of beiges, browns, and jet-black play against the crisp whites of the recessed ceiling, and the inviting curvilinear furniture, which is all warmed by a rough stone fireplace.

Two skylights brighten the bath, one over the double steam shower and a larger one over the sink vanity, featuring Taj Mahal stone countertops and Gessi wall-mounted fixtures.

Adjacent is an elegant dressing room with a lighted onyx counter topping the island.

At our Los Tilos house in the Hollywood Hills, one of the guiding principles for the design was again the concept of “living small”, the idea that the occupants of a home be able to stay visually connected throughout a property, through open sightlines. At Los Tilos, the L-shaped terraced design and floor to ceiling glass walls allow views to reach across the various spaces, indoors and out.

At the bottom of the L is the owner’s suite, which opens up directly onto the resort style swimming pool and terrace. Sightlines from the bedroom look across the backyard to the main house, and also extend out over the hillside, all the way to downtown Los Angeles, via floor to ceiling glass walls.

The primary bathroom frames views of the nearby mountains in a cutout floor to ceiling window beside the tub.

The primary suite at our Walker Road house, on the top floor of the home, is quieted by neutral carpeting, and warmed with accent walls in walnut, and pops of red.

Dark porcelain tile, repeated elsewhere in the home, is featured in the double primary bathroom and in the dressing area, where porcelain fixtures are from Badeloft, and faucet fixtures from Blu Bathworks.

Another Hollywood Hills home, Hopen Place, features an ultra luxury primary bedroom, with a modern design that seems to extend the space beyond its walls. It exists both indoors and out.

This room expresses our interest in the interplay of light and water, and the drama of simplicity and style.

The bedroom is wrapped in glass and jetliner views of glittering lights and sunset skies, and is visually cooled by the waters of the infinity pool that sits just on the other side of floor to ceiling glass.

For a more private and secluded atmosphere, Crestron controlled remote blackout and Somfy sunshades close the room to the outside. Many of the furnishings are from B&B Italia, including a small circular sofa designed by Citterio for B&B Italia - Maxalto. Its base allows it to rotate 360 degrees to take in the views. Also from B&B Italia are the California King Tufty bed, simple Dado nightstands, and low cabinet. On the nightstands are Verner Panton functional art “Wire” lamps in yellow. 

The luxury bathroom is peacefully shaded by a wall of bamboo trees.
