5741 Jamieson Avenue, Encino (los Angeles), CA 91316

Located in the Encino Park neighborhood, this distinctive home has been featured in Dwell and other architecture magazines and even served as a case study. In 2001, a significant addition was designed by the renowned Central Office of Architecture, drawing inspiration from Neutra, Schindler, and Ain. While the addition contrasts with the original structure, it maintains a geometric harmony with it. The original home features hardwood floors, a living room (or den), two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Natural light floods the interior through numerous skylights and clerestory windows, while floor-to-ceiling steel and glass doors slide open, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. A towering 30-foot bamboo hedge provides privacy, and the spacious patio includes a stunning cactus and succulent garden. The main living area “great room”, designed with an industrial aesthetic, boasts polished concrete floors, soaring 30-foot ceilings, expansive windows, a dining area, and a fireplace. An adjacent art studio, filled with natural light, includes a bathroom and laundry room. The double-height primary suite is accessed through a dramatic pivoting door and features a mezzanine library overlooking the bedroom. The en-suite bathroom is finished with slate floors and a slate tub/shower.
