Lone Stupa In this photo, a stupa can be seen along a road that runs deep into Mustang, the Himalayan mountains looming in the background.

Prior to the gut renovation, the house was dim and closed-off. Jacobs tore down walls to create a spacious feeling inside.

The open-tread stair leading from the garage to the second-floor living room sets the stage for a Star Wars–style duel.

The central courtyard is undoubtedly the star of the show. The softly curved lines on the roofline create a picturesque frame for L.A.’s blue skies and abundant sunshine. A lone tree sits in the middle, the focal point for the whole home.
