Rarely does an architect have the opportunity to reinterpret and update his own work. Thirty years after his original concept of this bluffside house above the Palisades Village, Steven Ehrlich reinvents his work as a thoroughly 21st Century entertaining compound. Broad entry stairs descend to a courtyard, a prologue to the copper-clad vault defining the main living/dining great room. Glass walls roll back into the structure and this level immediately draws one to the view terraces overlooking the Village and Pacific beyond. The horizontal hearth focuses on the unity of all three areas: living room, dining area, and kitchen. Elegantly simple cabinetry of the kitchen blends seamlessly with the silken oak flooring throughout. The formal entry gives way to the generous family room/study with the adjacent powder room. The midlevel provides a transition area leading to the master suite with a terrace and a guest bedroom, both with ensuite baths. The lower-level two-bedroom suite with bath can function as a second master with sitting room/den, guest suite, or an entire entertaining area, all connecting to a terrace extending along the entire facade. Superior architecture and superior setting with 180-degree views, cul-de-sac street, and two-minute proximity to the villages old and new.
