This luxury house Integrated Into Nature and Open to the City Beyond. This house was designed by L.A. based Xten Architecture. Open House in Hollywood Hills Some description from Architect : “This residence is embedded into a sharply sloping hillside property, a challenging site that led to the creation of a house that is both integrated into nature and open to the city beyond. The structure and detailing of the house is more complex than it appears. Extensive grading and terraced retaining walls were developed to extend the first floor living level into the hillside and to create a garden terraces on each level. Steel beams were set perpendicular to and into the hillside to achieve the backspans necessary for the large cantilevers at the front of the building. Lateral steel clear spans fifty feet between these beams to create double cantilevers at the leading edge of the house and uninterrupted cinematic views over the city.” Open House in Hollywood Hills Open House Interior in Hollywood Hills Open House Interior in Hollywood Hills Source : xtenarchitecture.com
