Above The Sprawl

Above The Sprawl: California

Los Angeles unfurls like a map before you up at this architecturally stunning home in the Upper Hollywood Hills. Every suite in the house has a breathtaking view of sparkling city lights after sunset from walls of glass. And then there’s the sunset itself – as the sky streaks pink and gold, head out to one of the many terraces for the daily spectacle. The infinity pool feels as though it’s hanging over the edge of the city and huge terraces lined with loungers and outdoor sofas face the glittering urban sprawl, perhaps best enjoyed by the warmth of a fire pit.

Inside, it’s sleek, open-plan and feels as though the living area was designed for lavish entertainment. A suspended fireplace in the living room draws the eye if you’re not too busy gazing at the view from floor-to-ceiling windows. We love the architectural details throughout – the sleek Scandi breakfast bar, floating lightwood staircase and raw wood room dividers. Then there’s the ultimate entertainment area with a home-cinema set-up and a wall of wine bottles for a plush evening in.

Up in the twisting streets of upper Hollywood Hills, you can enjoy exclusivity and quiet. But you’re just a ten-minute drive from the shops, restaurants and theatres of Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards.
