A sitting area and bathroom are located outside one of the bedrooms.

The home’s three low-lying rooflines subtly emerge from the landscape.

Another peek at the wraparound terrace, which is designed for incredible indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Wall-length windows and 18-to-32-foot-high ceilings effortlessly capture views of the city's skyline, while also ushering in an abundance of natural light.

Sitting on top of Beverly Hills, the Trousdale Place Residence redefines contemporary design with a fresh sophisticated aesthetic.

The Floating Farmhouse’s semitransparent addition has a roofline that matches the pitch of the original 1820s farmhouse. A porch, tucked under the side eaves, is cantilevered over a stream that runs through the property. Ikea loungers are illuminated from the interior by commercial gymnasium lights repurposed as pendant lamps.

Surrounded by 1.2 acres of flat land, the contemporary residence is designed to frame a unique, long view of Los Angeles—as well as the mountains beyond.

There's a noticeable four-inch gap in between the last two tiers of cabinets where the couple mounted a sliding library ladder in order to easily access every cabinet.

The living room, where a large industrial-style window facilitates plenty of sunlight.

Because the architects wanted to showcase the view of one of the more majestic oaks on the property, they placed a lap pool below the tree so the mirror-like surface of the water would gracefully reflect its image.

After: Wood beams and concrete walls emerge from cutaways in the drywall, revealing the building’s industrial skeleton. The custom steel-and-oak dining table is by Ohio Design.

In an effort to keep costs within budget without sacrificing looks, the fully gutted and renovated kitchen features IKEA cabinetry framework with shaker-style fronts by Semihandmade. The cabinets were painted Farrow & Ball Pigeon.
