"The Ajioka House" a 1960 post-and-beam by Buff & Hensman, meticulously restored and reimagined by Commune Design. Privately tucked behind gates on nearly an acre of lush, landscaped grounds, this architectural compound unfolds across 4 detached structures: the main residence, guest quarters, and studio dwellings which are linked by lush garden pathways, sculptural fire features, and two custom Stan Bitters water installations.

Privately tucked behind gates on nearly an acre of lush, landscaped grounds, this architectural compound unfolds across 4 detached structures: the main residence, guest quarters, and studio dwellings which are linked by lush garden pathways, sculptural fire features, and two custom Stan Bitters water installations. Each space is thoughtfully composed to celebrate light, material, and connection to nature. Interiors are wrapped in reclaimed oak cladding, grounded by polished concrete floors, exposed beams, and a dramatic brick fireplace that anchors the main living area. At the heart of the home, a 24-foot Boffi kitchen island of stainless steel and walnut serves as a sculptural centerpiece, opening effortlessly to expansive outdoor living areas, an open-air bar, and a collection of serene spaces for gathering and retreat. Surrounded by mature landscaping and canyon vistas, the property offers a profound sense of peace and privacy. Just moments from the iconic Sunset Strip, The Ajioka House endures as a preserved architectural landmark, embodying the clarity, craftsmanship, and enduring vision that define Buff & Hensman's most celebrated works.
