Carla Ridge II

Located in the historic Trousdale neighborhood, this residence presents a single-story, substantial plaster facade with slim louvers puncturing the form. Upon entering the home, the spatial experience evolves into expansion: a series of three discrete, linked pavilions is positioned to views of Los Angeles. The first pavilion, the main entry, hosts informal living spaces, the great room, kitchen and dining areas, spa deck, and pool. The second pavilion houses the guest suites, library and office, formal living and entertainment spaces. The third pavilion comprises a secluded master suite and two private decks exposing striking views over the hillside.

Teak ceilings and travertine floors unify the pavilions interstitial spaces as well as the interior and exterior. Door and window frames invite a soft symmetry, as the full-height panels of glass blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
