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.
