ABOVE: e 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. e 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. e 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.
e limestone pathway, lit from underneath, appears to be floating as it entrancingly guides the
way to the front door.
