Stacked stone-clad volumes, warm cove lighting, and cascading planted terraces step down a hillside site, with walls of glass opening to the city lights.
The Bird Streets remain the most coveted few blocks above the Sunset Strip, prized less for their houses than for what those houses see: an unbroken sweep of the Los Angeles basin that runs, on a clear evening, from the downtown towers to the Pacific. This pavilion was built to hold that view and little else — a single level, kept low and long, with the hillside doing the work of privacy.
The main volume is walled almost entirely in glass, the panels pocketing into the structure so that the living space opens completely to the terrace. Travertine floors run inside to out; the ceiling is a single plane of white oak; the only fixed masses are a central fireplace core and a kitchen resolved into honed stone. With the walls open, the room becomes a covered platform above the city.
The Edge
The pool is the property's signature: a mirror-edge basin cantilevered past the hillside, its surface set flush with the terrace so that water and view appear continuous. A sunken lounge and fire feature sit at its edge, and the whole composition is angled to catch the sunset rather than the neighbors.
Four bedrooms are set back into the hillside for quiet, the primary suite opening to its own view terrace with a bath in book-matched marble. A media room, gym, and glass-walled garage displaying the owner's cars complete the plan. The house comes largely furnished, its interiors already tuned to the architecture.
Minutes from the Sunset Strip yet insulated on its private cul-de-sac, the pavilion is offered at $8,900,000 through the listing agent.
