Recently listed for $30 million, this ultra-slim, brand-new house in Los Angeles’s Brentwood area is situated atop a private hill.
After more than three years of building, the house was finally finished earlier this year. Richard Landry, also known as the “king of the megamansion,” created the design as a tribute to all of the large homes he has constructed throughout the city.
For its owners, investor David and artist and designer Azadeh Shladovsky, the property was a labor of love. According to PropertyShark records, they paid $2.895 million for the underlying property in 2020.
“What captivated me from the start was the process of creation and seeing the outcome we had imagined,” stated Azadeh Shladovsky. “We’re excited for the enjoyment we know it will bring to the new owner, even though it’s more house than we need at this point in our lives.”
The over 11,500-square-foot home’s architecture, which features large glass walls combined with natural stone, is what listing agent Cindy Ambuehl called “museum modern.” According to Ambuehl of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, who listed the house on Monday, the design is influenced by modern museums.
“The term’museum modern design’ pertains to a particular architectural and interior design style that is distinguished by its uncluttered lines, understated elegance, and utilization of premium materials and inventive methods,” explained Ambuehl. “High-end real estate and public spaces where the integration of art, natural light, and open space enhances the overall aesthetic and user experience” are two settings where this style is especially appealing.
The house features six bedrooms, a bespoke spiral staircase, a great room, and a kitchen with a marble island that creates the illusion of a waterfall. A main suite has a coffee and juice bar, a fireplace, a covered patio, and a skylight-lit bathroom with a freestanding tub and two marble showers. In addition, there is an elevator, a playroom, and a home office.
“The interior is meant to feel spacious yet intimate and cozy at the same time,” Shladovsky said. “There isn’t any part of the home that isn’t right on the mark.”
There are far-reaching city, ocean and canyon views throughout the home, which was designed to take advantage of both the vistas and the natural light they provide, Shladovsky added.
