RLB Architecture
Pacific Palisades, CA
ABOVE & FACING PAGE: With a design inspired by a Virginia hunting lodge, this home was faced with a stone veneer and given a slate roof; redwood siding was used
on the home's less visible sides. The house was built with 12-foot-high walls and sloping ceilings and set back 200 feet so visitors could walk through the garden as they
approached the f ront entrance. The gourmet kitchen was outfitted with a wood-burning fireplace oven, furniture-quality cabinets, zinc countertops, and a marble-topped
island with a skylight directly above. A large, three-sided bay window was designed to accommodate a booth f rom the iconic and now-closed Chasen's restaurant. A wine
cellar was constructed in the home's basement to accommodate the client's 6,000-plus-bottle wine collection.
