Big Beautiful Houses in Los Angeles, California
7500 sqft 4 Bedroom Beautiful Home in Los Angeles, California
Video
Area: 7500 sqft
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 5
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Price: $14,495,000
Year: 2019
A bold and innovative departure in new construction whose inimitable style will set a new benchmark for design. This resort-like estate is set above the street with a sweeping 120-foot approach that passes through a canopy of mature specimen trees, succulents and tropical greenery to reach the home’s front entrance. The estate was crafted with exacting precision, high-quality and meticulous attention to detail. Rich textures and finishes abound including luxurious wall coverings, suede paneled doors, slab Nero Marquina marble, oak paneled walls, walnut cabinetry and polished concrete flooring.
The main level features soaring 13 foot ceilings and an open floor plan with living, dining and bar spaces open to the outdoors via floor-to-ceiling, pivot and automated recessed doors. A showroom quality kitchen includes floor-to-ceiling, hand-hewn walnut cabinetry, center island with Nero Marquina marble countertops and walnut table extension, Wolfe and Miele ovens, Miele espresso machine, Gaggenau range and glass front Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers. Automated, 13’ recessed doors open to the outdoor living and dining areas with built-in barbecue overlooking the pool and spa. A sky-lit, floor-to-ceiling oak paneled powder room with custom built Calacatta Gold vanity completes the first floor.
The master suite is reminiscent of a five-star luxury hotel with sitting area, two-way fireplace and dressing room with custom rift white oak cabinetry and vanity desk. Heated floors of antiqued natural oak, laid in a striated chevron pattern stylistically set this space apart from the rest of the home. The spectacular master is moored by white Calacatta marble slab floors and shower, custom vanity with rift white oak and freestanding Cascara tub plus heated floors. An adjacent outdoor area is accessed through 11’ floor to ceiling pivot doors. Two additional en-suite bedrooms with custom finishes and built-in desk areas complete the second level.
A separate entrance accented by a living plant wall with backlit onyx leads into the entertainment level. Part lounge, part nightclub, part sports bar, this space brings versatility to entertaining. The theater is unrivaled by any other in its league. With ample room for 16 or more the theater is equipped with Dolby Digital Surround Sound, a state-of-the-art Da-Lite screen and JVC projector. Invisible Stealth Acoustic speakers and dual Sunfire subwoofers are concealed from view and the theater walls are wrapped in upholstered panels. Motorized black-out draperies tuck away into pockets when the theater is not in use. The open-plan bar features marble countertops, stainless steel cabinets, a four-tap beer/beverage dispenser with two double-keg refrigerators, plus icemaker, beverage refrigerator and two dishwasher drawers. Set behind a wall of glass the adjacent, climate-controlled wine room has an open-display capacity of 388 bottles. Ample additional storage capacity can be found in the wall-mounted curvilinear cabinetry. This level is complimented by a powder room with natural cork wallcovering with gold-foil backing and floating vanity of rift white oak plus heated flooring system throughout the theater and bar.
A separate flex-space is staged as an office, but is equally suited as a gym, entertainment lounge, or as the home’s fourth bedroom suite. Deeply-hued natural cork wallcovering and a wall of smoke-tinted mirrors lend a moody vibe to the space. Heated cement floors with a grey micro-coating finish and an en-suite bathroom with custom wood and Calacatta marble vanity and a large, glass-enclosed shower with white Calacatta slab-marble walls provides an elegant guest retreat.
Equally distinctive are the serene and tranquil grounds which blend harmoniously with the surrounding hillside. Numerous outdoor spaces seamlessly merge with the indoors. An outdoor living and dining area with built-in barbeque overlooks commanding views of the city lights. The zero-edge pool and spa with live plant wall and fireplace flanked by a peaceful water wall creates the perfect private refuge or the backdrop for entertaining on a small or large scale.
Modern Minimalist Home with Breathtaking Views in Los Angeles, California
About SAOTA
Perched high on a hill in Bel Air, Los Angeles's premier neighborhood, this modern minimalist home with breathtaking views built in the 1970's has been completely remodeled by professionals from the SAOTA design and architecture studio, who combine the aesthetic freshness of today with the organic feature of California's modernism to form a privacy-defined dwelling and a breathtaking view.
At the request of the residents, the old house in Spanish style underwent a complete renovation that maintained only its original structure. And since the location offers a panorama that goes from downtown to Century City with the mountains to the east and the ocean to the south, architects have tried to value the beautiful light of the North American west coast by creating generous openings that invite the landscape to invade the interiors.
A balanced play between wood, concrete and glass is already on the facade, which has been redesigned, according to the architects, as a sculptural composition. From the entrance hall, an asymmetrical passageway carved into the main body of the house intentionally postpones the discovery of the skyline, framed by the high ceiling of the living room. "There is a transition between the severe forms of the entrance, anchored in the slope, that open space for a lighter structure as one moves through the interior," say the architects.
Here the Californian lifestyle translates through the lightness in spaces, which serve the varied purposes of a modern family. In the new layout, the swimming pool has gained the company of linear beds that color the surroundings of the house without hindering the view of the horizon. Meanwhile, a structure creates a natural extension of the inner spaces outward and provides protection from the sun when dining is the idea of relaxing in the open air, watching the palm fronds under the blue sky of Los Angeles.

Modern Beautiful Home with Reflecting Ponds, California
About Horst Architects
Architecture Horst Architects
Project THE STRAND
Location California, United States
Photography John Ellis
This AIA award winning home resides at the Strand in Dana Point, California. A series of overlapping reflecting ponds within the home’s central courtyard instills a sense of meditation and retreat where one can contemplate the sky and ocean. Outdoor and indoor living is orchestrated by balancing views with privacy, communal space with intimacy. The clear expression of the steel skeleton structure, infilled with wood and glass, allows the structure to sit lightly along the coastal terrain, while limestone walls anchor the structure.
Description from architects:
Several generations of the owner’s family enjoyed seaside vacations in their weathered, wooden cottage in Crystal Cove, just north of Laguna Beach, California. When the lease with the State of California recently expired, the owners purchased a property within the Strand at the Headlands, a few miles south in Dana Point. Seeking to re-establish their familial base, the owners requested a relaxed family beach house accommodating three master suites for parents and grandparents, as well as a suitable environment for children, grandchildren and friends. The parti reflects the program through a composition of three diaphanous pavilions around a central, unifying courtyard. This courtyard is concealed from the street and entered discretely through a pivoting wood door revealing a covered passageway along a stone wall leading to the entry. This sequence of movement from street to inner sanctum creates an atmosphere of mystery and heightens the sense of arrival, while also revealing the ocean view sequentially. A series of overlapping reflecting ponds contained within the central courtyard instill a sense of meditation and retreat where one can contemplate the ocean and sky.

Frank Gehry's beautiful architecture - Schnabel House, Brentwood, Los Angeles, California
Project: Schnabel House
Architecture: Frank Gehry
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 5
Area: 5700 sq ft
Year: 1989
Location: Brentwood, Los Angeles, California
Photography: Nick Springett, LATimes
Built in 1989, Frank Gehry's Schnabel House in Brentwood (Los Angeles) has been called many things: free-form architecture, career watershed, family home, status symbol, sculpture. The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and has been described as "a village that looks inward". The half-acre of grounds include a swimming pool, a reflecting pond and an olive orchard. There is a main house, a guesthouse, an office and a garage-and-gym building with a breezeway.
Schnabel House, one of the last single-family dwellings designed by Frank Gehry, is on the market, and it just got yet another price reduction. Called one of the greatest houses of the 20th century, the 5,700-square-foot home in L.A.’s Brentwood neighborhood was built in 1989 for Rockwell Schnabel, a former ambassador to Finland, and his wife, Marna, an architect.
The six-bedroom, five-bathroom residence was last sold by Broadway producer Jon B. Platt in January 2013, after he spent years restoring the home under Gehry’s guidance. Producer Michael LaFetra purchased the house from Platt, and since then it has been on and off the market with a series of price changes. LaFetra first listed the house in June 2014 for $14.995 million, then took it off the market a few weeks later. He relisted the property for $12.995 million last September and has reduced it three more times before arriving at the current $10.495 million asking price.
The property includes a main house, a guesthouse, a sauna, a garage and gym building, and an office with a dome inspired by the Griffith Observatory. The grounds feature a reflecting pond, a swimming pool, and an olive orchard.
“This is the design I had fantasized about for my own house,” Gehry has said of Schnabel House.

Luxury custom villa in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California
This luxury custom villa (Brentwood, Los Angeles, California) is inspired as much by the client’s lifestyle as by its unique setting. Due to the complicated irregular topography, which includes a small grove of pine trees and eucalyptus, only one of the 3.5 acres is suitable for building on. To maximize the surrounding views, the house was designed into two wings – south and north – which face the surrounding canyon views and an expansive lawn and turn away from the motor court.
