We're drawn to homes where architecture and landscape speak the same language. Woods + Dangaran. Completed in 2015. Recognized in The LA Times and LA Magazine. Hidden behind soaring bamboo hedges in Santa Monica's coveted North of Montana neighborhood, this ground-up residence is a masterful expression of California mid-century modernism, where architecture, landscape, and light exist in complete harmony. Every line is thoughtfully composed. Every proportion is carefully considered.

Approximately 3,136 square feet on a 7,498 square foot lot, unfolding as a choreographed sequence of spaces, from sophisticated entertaining areas to intimate private retreats. Expansive walls of glass. Warm cedar detailing, polished concrete floors, rich hardwoods, crisp white planes. Eleven skylights wash the second floor in soft daylight, giving the home its quiet, gallery-like atmosphere. The kitchen is a study in understated luxury, with custom Bulthaup cabinetry, a complete suite of Gaggenau appliances including a built-in coffee system and a 41-bottle wine refrigerator, and Dornbracht fixtures. Iconic lighting by Poul Henningsen, Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen, and Fabricius & Kastholm carries the design pedigree throughout.

At the center, a serene pool courtyard enveloped by mature bamboo, architectural succulents, and specimen cacti. A private, resort-inspired sanctuary where the landscape is every bit as intentional as the architecture itself. Quiet luxury in one of Santa Monica's most coveted neighborhoods.
