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.
