Property Description

The fully furnished, "Screen House" in Santa Monica, designed by world-renowned architect Hagy Belzberg, stands as a pinnacle of innovative design, earning the AIA LA Design Awards: Single-Family Residential - Honor Award. This award-winning residence seamlessly combines privacy, light, and space with a sophisticated architectural narrative inspired by the family's cultural roots in Mexico City. A handcrafted, porous facade of custom-molded composite blocks ensures privacy while elegantly filtering sunlight, casting dynamic patterns of light and shadow that shift throughout the day. At the heart of the home lies a subterranean courtyard, which infuses natural light deep into the interiors, fostering a sense of openness while maintaining a serene intimacy. Ventilation is masterfully achieved through a triple-height atrium and a northern light well, creating a natural airflow system centered around the courtyard's olive tree. Internally, the home exudes unparalleled craftsmanship, with lighting, millwork, and flooring sourced from Mexico City's top artisans. Renowned millworker Simon Hamui collaborated on custom furnishings, elevating every space with bespoke artistry. The five-bedroom residence includes expansive living and dining areas, a chef-caliber kitchen, a luxurious entertainment suite, elevator and spa-inspired amenities. The basement holds a beautiful screening room, sauna, steam room and gym. With its seamless blend of functionality and aesthetic brilliance, the Screen House is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary, perfect for both retreating and entertaining.
