Ramos added a clever space-saving cooktop with peninsula bench for additional seating.

The primary suite, which features striking city views and original built-ins, awaits down the hall.

Of the windows, which were designed to withstand gusts of more than 100 miles per hour, Cutler says, “The big sheets of glass create a phenomenal connection to place.” Ben adds, “Every window has a different view, and each one feels like it’s the view.”

“The covered walkway was very important, because how the view is revealed can be either mundane or thrilling,” adds Cutler.

The master bathroom features arabesque terra-cotta tiles from Tabaraka Studios in a brilliant shade of green. The custom vanity has a concrete countertop with an integrated sink from Concreteworks and hardware from Marion Cage. The playful wall tiles are also from Tabarka Studios: Paris Metro #14 in charcoal and paprika. The turned leg is based on the turned column detail by the front door.

"We wanted this to be a fully-immersive environment in and out of the shower," Cooper says. His team decided to create a custom terrazzo based off of the same material that was found during demolition.

The floor tiles are from Popham Design in a custom palette, paired with handmade subway tile in an earthy, off-white color.

“Everything needed to be approachable and simple,” says Hilary. “The house reflects who we are.”

Hilary and her husband, Jimmy, opted for a functional, restrained material palette. In the dining room, Rejuvenation pendants hang above a table by Hedge House and chairs from Hay.

The kitchen features a marble backsplash and a precisely placed window. The floors and internal walls are also crafted from clay and concrete.

The Ramseys finished the pool after they moved in. Although Alterstudio had also designed a cabana, the couple decided not to build it in favor of keeping more outdoor space. Chairs and lounges by Loll join an umbrella by California Umbrella.
