Strikingly Luxurious And Diverse Laurel Way Residence In Beverly Hills

Cascading down a hill in Beverly Hills, California, Laurel Way Residence can very easily be mistaken for an exotic vacation resort. Whipple Russell Architects wanted to attain an unconventional design and style, exactly where “each area or space ought to be a jewel box, an individually conceived, precisely functional and dramatic sensory encounter with its own depth of architecture”. Marc Whipple’s signature elements are present all through, such as the use of contrasting textures and glass reflecting water. 
According to the architects, “the instant encounter upon entering the residence is its inherent weightlessness – the sense that the walls seem to float as panels and you are always connected to the outdoors. This is achieved with adherence to precise symmetry of beams, support panels, tiles, and sightlines, and also that walls do not meet the ceilings – a half-inch gap is left that aids achieve the impact”. Some of the most striking features of Laurel Way Residence contain a 14 ft. wood pivot entry door flanked entirely by glass, a Master Suite opening up towards an expansive terrace with Jacuzzi tub, a house theater, a 5-auto garage and a zero edge Infinity Pool.
