Flawlessly integrated form and function are epitomized in this home, an engineering marvel and a masterful expression of modernism. Precision craftsmanship showcases the design of award-winning architect Curt Cline of Modern House, creating a clear aesthetic vision that is both bold and graceful. His design principles, “Blur the boundaries between the natural world outside and the created world inside,” have been artfully achieved at this home. Cline further states, and has incorporated here, “Maximize the connectivity of the interior living space and the exterior space, both visually and actually.”

The entire design revolves around the use of glass with entire walls that fully retract and the true marvel – a retractable glass ceiling in the living room. The restrained design incorporates a Studio Becker kitchen, 2 offices, 4 main-level bedroom suites, plus a lower-level recreation room with golf simulator, a wine cellar, and a 5th bedroom currently used as a fitness center. The selection of finishing materials throughout is made with a refreshingly unique approach, employing sleek materials that are decidedly avant-garde. Adding the finishing touch to this architecturally significant home are multiple wraparound outdoor living spaces and a pool creating the quintessential California lifestyle in the #1 ZIP code in America.
