From the street, the house rises two stories, dropping down on the opposite side to follow the slope. Clive envisioned the top floor as a “crow’s nest.”

“With the separate levels, children and adults have their own territories but can also come together,” explains Clive.

Joe Sturges of GS Landscape Architecture Studio oversaw the landscape design.

“I wanted it to feel almost like you’re in a helicopter when you’re on the top floor,” adds Clive.

“The steeply sloping site provides three unique spaces—the living attic, the pool deck, and the garden terrace.”

Beach, hills, and flatlands vibes all swirl together in architect Clive Wilkinson's Los Angeles home, where guests are greeted with a laser-cut metal stair railing. Situated on a steeply sloping site, the distinctive structure lends itself to a living attic, pool deck, and garden terrace, mixing elements like low-slung Italian furniture and oak flooring. Bright green makes a splash in the kitchen, which is tucked underneath Douglas fir rafters.

The terrace, furnished with pieces by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance for Ligne Roset, is the perfect spot for taking in views of the L.A. basin.

On a hillside in Los Angeles, architect Clive Wilkinson created a three-story home for himself, his wife, Elisabeth, and their children.
