Bel Air · Los Angeles · Private residence · for sale
Three materials and one view.
A house on a canyon ridge in Bel Air: an olive-planted slope on one side, the open canyon and the city haze on the other. Travertine, bronze and white oak — three materials for the entire house.
The estate
Held privately since completion, shown by appointment only.
The upper volume is pushed forward and holds shade over the terrace all day, so the glass walls can stay open from morning until the light goes. A twenty-five-metre lap pool runs the length of the façade, the water level flush with the stone.
Inside: a double-height living room with a fireplace cut from a single block of travertine, a kitchen island in the same stone, a dining room for twelve, and a master floor with the bath set against the panorama window.
The story
The ridge changes the house every few hours — the same rooms read completely differently between the olive slope in the morning and the canyon at night.
Low sun comes through the olives and the travertine goes warm before the house wakes up.
The cantilever holds shade over the whole terrace, so the glass walls stay open through the afternoon.
After dark the house reads as a lantern on the ridge, with the city haze behind it.
The setting
The plot takes the whole crest: olives on the slope below, the canyon opposite, and no neighbouring roofline in any window of the house.
Private amenities
Six rooms under the living level, each built around one thing.

The reveal
Twenty-one photographs went into the workspace and four finished assets came out: this page, a graded twenty-seven-second film, a print brochure and a month of social. Nothing on this page was re-shot by hand — the light, the times of day and the vertical crops were all built from the same set of frames.
