ABOVE: The dramatic knife-edge pool, illuminated with color-changing LED lights, is undoubtedly one of the most striking, wow factors,
as it hugs every curve of the home. It is virtually a kinetic work of art connecting earth and sky and the interior with the exterior. One can
quite literally step from the living area through a sliding wall of glass and into the water.
FACING ABOVE:
Perched in the exclusive Bird Streets neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills, the 6,000-square-foot Bluejay residence was
completely re-imagined to maximize the site's sweeping Los Angeles views while reflecting the homeowner's trendsetting lifestyle. The
open-plan great room includes a living area and a long wraparound bar that is made for communal seating and entertaining. Behind the bar,
a vertical stainless steel wine refrigerator extends all the way to the ceiling, thus providing a seamless way to solve for the lack of a wine
room in the home. The LED lighting underneath the countertops echoes the mood of the pool yet again uniting the indoor and outdoor
spaces.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: While the property sits directly on the street, a walled-in entry sequence creates a sense of drama and privacy
while setting the tone for the rest of the space. The limestone pathway, lit from underneath, appears to be floating as it entrancingly guides
the way to the front door.
