The Inspired Home
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.
