The Rising Glen Residence by Janna Levenstein
This mid-century-modern home in the hills of West Hollywood, California, was recently remodeled by Janna Levenstein. The 4 bedroom house is set on over a half-acre above the Sunset Strip.
The house is currently for sale through Jan Horn, more info – here.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! This is definitely something I could see myself in someday.

Ms. Levenstein is incredibly admirable. She has totally absorbed the ideology of the “deluxe modernists” like Paul Laszlo while integrating the really practical mechanisms for erasing indoor-outdoor boundaries that are only really possible in Southern California. Neither is she tautological in her interpretations nor afraid of infusing a liberal dose of sex (which is what the Swish Alps are all about after all).
Mind you, this is amongst her early efforts. It is a pity that this house has come on the market at a bad moment because she deserves ample success. Kudos for a project that is perfectly fit to its place physically, socially, and desirably.

This house is so beautiful. I especially love the Vanity Fair wall mural.

It is definitely a mail space- angles, colors, texture- it feels manly
It is a bit cold for a family house, but because of its good design, it could be easily transformed with some nice touches here and there
