Brentwood Luxury Residence by Belzberg Architects

The Brentwood Residence is an impressive 12,000 square foot contemporary home designed by Belzberg Architects in collaboration with interior design studio MLK Studio.

Located in Los Angeles, California, this luxury two-story residence features large glazed walls, a tennis field, a generous swimming pool and a guest house.

Brentwood Residence by Belzberg Architects:

“The Brentwood Residence is located on a large picturesque lot in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Because the lot did not offer any immediate views from the buildable area of the property, the structures that comprise the project were designed to engage each other while focusing attention on the built and natural landscape within.

The lot features a large California Oak tree on the rear half of the site which serves as the focal point of the formal procession through the project. To counteract the formal setup of the site plan the spatial organization has been setup to challenge the established axis without eroding it.

To achieve this, pathways have been intentionally designed to dissolve and reappear along the route. The line clearly divides the formal living area of the main house from the informal public spaces but it is counteracted by the complex interlocking geometry and asymmetrical volumes that make up the exterior.

The Main house kitchen was conceived as the backbone of the informal family gathering space of the residence. By programming the larger appliances to the south and west walls, the kitchen serves as a transition space between the public and private areas while maintaining a very open feel with the adjacent family room. The materials used compliment the clean modern feel that exists throughout the house with an emphasis placed on being warm and inviting.

As a homage to the palette of classic Mid-Century design, the house features a material composition of steel troweled plaster, gauged and stacked Pennsylvania Bluestone, and Mangaris wood siding.”
