A House that Seems to Belong to the Land Features Underground Rooms and a Rooftop Pool
Welcome to Oak Pass Main House, a truly exceptional residence nestled in the hills of Beverly Hills, California. Located atop a estate, this home offers breathtaking panoramic views of the hills and canyons. What makes it even more special are the over 130 protected oak trees that dot the property. From the very beginning, the house was designed to seamlessly blend with its environment, avoiding becoming the central focal point of the landscape. The respect with which the presence of the forest was approached allowed the spacious 8,000-square-foot layout of the house to belong to the environment rather than appear intrusive.
One of the most notable features of this house is its “inverted“ program. Here, the public areas occupy the upper level, providing uninterrupted views and a feeling of being in the clouds. Below, carefully integrated into the hill, you’ll find the bedrooms, hidden beneath a green roof adorned with edible herbs.
The 75-foot-long pool, with infinity edges on three of its four sides, runs through the house and extends beneath the shade of one of the largest oak trees on the property. The house’s structure is primarily made of structural concrete, allowing for spacious interiors without the need for intrusive columns. The bedroom-level floors are made of walnut, while on the upper level, you’ll find beautiful limestone floors.
While exploring this unique home, you can’t help but notice how it seamlessly merges with the natural landscape, allowing light and air to flow through it, thanks to the indoor-outdoor terrace on the lower level, creating a versatile and private living space. In this space, there’s a communal fireplace where residents can feel sheltered, protected, and warm, enclosed by tall retaining walls surrounding the ground-level area. It’s a house that seems to belong to this place, a harmonious conversation between nature and modern design.
This residence also offers exceptional amenities, including a wine cellar, an auditorium, a gym, and a lounge. Additionally, the strategic use of sliding doors allows the house to open up to the outdoors, taking advantage of the mild Southern California climate.
