Cantilever House Los Angeles
8,200 sf, 5 bed, 6 bath
This Hollywood Hills modern home rests elegantly on a ridge with airliner views of the Los Angeles basin and Pacific Ocean. Designed for relaxed entertaining and family living, Cantilever House integrates interior and exterior spaces with minimalist architecture.
​
An edited palette of white oak and travertine evokes the midcentury glam of the Trousdale Estates, reimagined with warm contemporary details. The organic, curving roofline artfully mirrors the coastline in the distance and has large overhangs for passive solar design. In the lounge, an oculus frames views of the moon and sky.
Biophilic design, including operable window walls, layered lighting, and a multisensory connection to nature, enhances the health and wellness of the clients. A terrace promotes outdoor living, social activity, and regular exercise in the infinity lap pool. The living room cantilevers over the site—a sculptural design element that responds to the beauty and awe of the topography.
