Floating above it's hillside terrain, natural landscape is allowed to flow undisturbed beneath its strong framework, representing a marriage between pure structural logic and lyrical sculptural design. Beautiful redwood ceilings and redwood detailing combined with walls of glass and massive skylights create a continuous symphony of direct, indirect and dappled light that animates the house from sunrise to sunset. Considered a work that is disciplined and deliberate, yet seemingly free and effortless, the 5 bedroom, 5 bath structure is described as both " essay and poem", Traditional spatial boundries are erased by seven split levels encompassing 4,157 square feet. Described by the L. A. Times as " The Greatest house in Southern California", designated as a Cultural Historical Monument in 1996, the residence represents a master class in the "additive process of design", embracing the surrounding landscape of Rustic Canyon. The primary suite anchors the northeast wing, while a suite of 3 bedrooms occupies the southwest wing, providing a balance between communal and private life. Below the main living area lies a glass walled studio with stunning views of the rock garden. The open living area has serene tree top views and custom designed Kappe furniture. Four unique outdoor spaces, including a dramatic cantilevered deck, create the perfect indoor- outdoor experience. There is a stunning lap pool, spa, sauna and cabana with additional kitchen and bath. The estate is a modern vessel for enduring legacy, a global icon of residential architecture that continues to be a mecca for scholars and admirers of iconic architecture worldwide. The distinguished provenance is deeply intertwined with Los Angeles history, as it functioned as Kappe's residence , office and creative studio, gestating the inspiration & design for over 200 of his projects. As the "birthplace" of SCI-Arc, it represents a singular opportunity for the stewardship of a national treasure. Shown to pre-qualified clients only.
