Nestled in the iconic Bird Streets of Los Angeles, this new home is a testament to the seamless integration of form and function in contemporary design. With its utilization of the hillside topography, this home features rooms carved into the earth, presenting 180 degree views from downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean.   A private roof deck provides an elevated perspective of the city at street level, while a lower level offers a private pool and garden.

A sculptural staircase winds its way down through the central void, connecting the roof deck to the lower yard offering multiple circulation options and enhancing the home's accessibility. This home's design prioritizes performance and sustainability, incorporating passive design strategies and maximizing the natural landscape to offer a high-performance living experience.

The distinctive roof design, inspired by the shape of a bird's wing, pays homage to the area's namesake and further distinguishes this home with its exceptional performance and unique appearance.   It exemplifies the perfect blend of modern living and sustainable design, harmoniously uniting style, comfort, and function.
