Today, a California live oak blocks a view from the street, and a massive pine sits in the front courtyard—in addition to a Japanese maple, bamboo, and other specimens. Here is a look into the second courtyard and a covered patio off the kitchen.

Stairs lead up to a rooftop deck that adjoins a media space and two guest bedrooms. “We wanted to have this idea that you can be in your own private space, integrated with nature, and you don’t know that someone else is in a room next to you or around the corner,” Sylvester says.

The award-winning Venice House by Sebastian Mariscal has been published worldwide as a celebrated example of warm modernism. Configured as a compound of structures connected by formal outdoor spaces, the result is a heightened integration of nature into daily life. Interior spaces open via solid mahogany lift-and-slide pocket doors to interface with exterior patios, courtyards and rooftop gardens creating expertly crafted indoor-outdoor living. Two outdoor fireplaces complement a dining pavilion and lounge area. A sensuous palette of mahogany windows and extensive custom casework is balanced with finely detailed ebony-stained cedar siding. Mature trees include California Live Oak and Japanese Magnolia, offering tranquil seclusion in a quiet part of Venice close to the vibrant dining and shopping scene of Abbott Kinney Blvd. Featuring Miele appliances, TOTO fixtures including Neorest Japanese toilets and whole-property water filtering. Built in 2013 and offered for the first time.
