Rising three storeys, the Carla House sits atop a secluded ridge overlooking LA's hilly terrain and distant mountains.The iconic Hollywood sign is visible from the home, which is located in the coveted Trousdale Estates neighbourhood,
Carla House was constructed on a gently sloping, 1.2-acre property.Encompassing 20,000 square feet, the sprawling abode contains seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, along with luxury amenities such as a theatre and fitness studio.
Walker Workshop Rather than creating a single, hulking mass, broke up the house into two wings that are slightly rotated to ensure optimal vistas. The wings are connected by a low-lying central volume with ample glazing.Finishes in the public zone and elsewhere include grey tile flooring, white walls and ceilings wrapped in honey-toned cedar.
A mix of materials were used for the facades, including western red cedar, concrete and white stucco. Large stretches of glass usher in natural light while enabling the homeowners to take in the scenery.The front of the home has a long pool that . The rear yard features a patchwork of patios and gardens, along with an infinity-edge lap pool that stretches 84 feet (26 metres).The living room, kitchen and dining area occupy the centre of the dwelling, where numerous apertures dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
