AIA Award-Winning Architecture Above the Los Angeles Skyline
Published
Designed by the celebrated XTEN Architects and recipient of the AIA Los Angeles Award for most influential architecture of 2020, this Bird Streets promontory estate represents the convergence of visionary design and an irreplaceable position above the city. Inspired by the cinematic language of Stanley Kubrick's Space Odyssey, the residence unfolds across polished terrazzo floors beneath soaring coffered ceilings, with walls of glass framing jetliner views that stretch from the Los Angeles basin to the Pacific. Every element — from the eight-car subterranean showcase garage to the infinity pool suspended above a manicured lawn — has been executed with the precision and deliberateness of a singular architectural statement.
