 ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS:
The current owners commissioned Michael Palladino, senior partner and design architect in Richard Meier's Los Angeles office to create a contemporary home in keeping with the materials, colors and context of the natural landscape. The result is a sophisticated house grounded in the western architectural vernacular that exemplifies modernist principles of form following function. It achieves the ideal of architecture that is comfortable to live in and architecture as art. The two-year building process required an unusual precision and workmanship from both contractor and crew.
Nestled into a hill, the main house commands outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. It is characterized by the harmonious scale of its rooms in a layout that provides both privacy and inviting social spaces
- all suffused with natural light from windows designed to frame the spectacular views. One of the unique architectural features is the custom designed curved ceiling of the living, dining and family rooms, shaped as a wave from 14 feet at the highest point ending in clear- story windows, motorized to open. Clear- story is a design element that reappears throughout the house providing exceptional indirect light. UV glass is used in all windows as well as in the French and custom sliding doors opening to gracious outdoor living spaces.

GROUNDS:
The landscaping was conceived to provide a transition from the surrounding hills to a more cultivated environment. In addition to oaks and sycamores, a large olive orchard leads up to and surrounds the house and extensive grounds in which drought tolerant Mediterranean and native plants give way to the refinement of roses and lawn in the gardens closest to the house.
