Manuelian Architects is a boutique architectural studio specialized in designing high-end custom single family homes.
This contemporary residence is situated high in the hills of Bel-Air, with expansive views across the surrounding canyons and the Los Angeles cityscape.
The design is organized around an open and streamlined plan that maximizes the connection between the interior spaces, the surrounding landscape, and the distant views. Large openings and carefully positioned outdoor spaces extend the living areas toward the panorama, while the layout and orientation of the house provide a strong sense of privacy.
A series of indoor and outdoor spaces—including a library, study, theater, and outdoor entertainment area—are integrated into the overall composition. The curved infinity pool and spa reinforce the connection between the architecture and the hillside setting, creating a continuous visual relationship with the landscape and views.
The architecture combines clean contemporary lines with a restrained material and formal palette, creating a cohesive composition that responds to the dramatic Bel-Air hillside setting.
