Located adjacent to the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, this courtyard home with main and guest houses tied to a shared yard celebrates indoor-outdoor living with heroically scaled porches wrapping the home's edges uniting spaces of everyday use. The elevated central veranda has the dignity of a stage where life surrounding it takes on the aura of a performance. The roof extends over the plinth - a raised wood deck - engaging an existing large Avocado tree located at the center of the property. This new home features a playful use of sloped ceilings and wood finishes throughout combined with exposed structural elements including heavy timber posts and beams. Construction is underway with expected completion in 2026
