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.
