這座位于西好萊塢的高科技靜居之所,坐落在日落大道上方,可俯瞰洛杉磯,擁有從圣蓋博山脈延伸至太平洋的廣闊視野。從住宅的各個區域都能最大限度地欣賞到這些令人驚嘆的美景,這是該設計的一個關鍵指令。其他的設計目標是盡可能地模糊室內外的界限一一因為客戶有戶外探險的背景,他希望這座房子對他和他的眾多客人來說就像一場冒險。在住宅的三層空間中,許多定制設計和自動化元素賦予了這座住宅獨特的現代風格。
住宅的主層設有廚房、餐廳和起居區,一系列可伸縮的窗墻能將住宅完全敞開,與環繞在外的戶外露臺相連。起居區、廚房和北側臥室的滑動窗墻,與餐廳的一對“斷頭臺式”窗墻以及起居區南側的兩扇旋轉窗墻相互映襯。這一系列數量可觀的可操作窗墻共同將室內外空間融合在一起,將可居住空間延伸到了溫和的南加州氣候之中。餐廳和起居區外的主露臺通向一個游泳池,從這里可以俯瞰下方山坡上的一片橄欖樹林,遠處則是綿延的洛杉磯城市天際線。
這種與戶外的連接在住宅的上層得以延續,上層設有主臥室、一間書房、家庭健身房以及一系列屋頂露臺。下層則體現了客戶的個人興趣和愛好,設有汽車陳列室、游戲室和多媒體室。一個大型戶外露臺從汽車陳列室延伸而出,懸挑在山坡之上,能毫無遮擋地欣賞城市景觀。

This high-tech West Hollywood retreat is located just above the Sunset Strip and overlooks Los Angeles with sweeping views that stretch from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Maximizing access to these breathtaking views from all parts of the home wasa key design directive.Other design goals were to blur the boundaries between inside and outside as much as possible- because the client comes from a background of outdoor adventures,he wanted the house to feel like an adventure to himand his many guests.Many custom-designed and automated elements throughout all three levels contribute to the home's uniquely modern identity.
On the home's main level,which contains the kitchen,dining and living areas,a series of retractable window walls open the home completely to outdoor terraces wrapping the exterior.Slidingwindow walls in the living area,kitchen,and north bedroom complement a pair of \"guillotine\"window walls in the dining area and two pivoting window walls on the south side of the living area.Together,this substantial series of operable window walls merges indoor and outdoor spaces,extending the livable space outside into the temperate Southern California climate.The main terrace off the dining and living area leads to a swimmingpool overlooking agrove of olive treeson the hilside below,with the Los Angeles cityskyline stretching out in the distance.
This connection to the outdoors continues on the upper level,which contains the master bedroom and a den,home gym,anda series of roof decks.The lower level reflects the client's personal interests and hobbies,containing an auto gallery, game room and media room.A large outdoor terrace extends from the auto gallery,cantilevering out over the hilside with unobstructed views of the cityscape.
