A Los Angeles Residence Celebrating Art and Nature

Interior designers Olivia Williams and Matt Merrell brought a keen eye to the interiors. The open kitchen/dining offers various luxurious features, including a separate scullery kitchen and pantry behind the custom wood paneled casework partition; Calcutta gold marble countertops, island, and backsplash; custom weathered brass range hood and cabinet pull detail; and a 13 foot long marble island with integrated stone sink and weathered brass base. A Murano glass chandelier above the dining table created the inspiration for the design palette.

This exterior vantage point highlights the view through to the atrium garden, the outdoor shower and cabana powder room, and the relationship of the house to the grand eucalyptus trees beyond. A material palette of shou sugi ban siding with copper accents will age gracefully in place slowly becoming one with the environment.

Taking inspiration from the surrounding Eucalyptus trees, the home's exterior utilizes rusticated materials, such as concrete and Corten steel, at its base. A custom profile of lightly charred wood serves as the exterior siding, while expanses of glass and dramatic plaster and copper eaves top the structure.

At the front of the home, one is greeted by the California live oak and Eucalyptus trees that define the local landscape and keep in proportion with the generous home, while the airplane hangar style garage door, finished with charred siding, “disappears” when closed.
