Property Description
Conceived by Barton Choy, AIA, in 1972, this Silver Lake residence is a masterclass in mid-century geometry and purposeful, compact living. Built for and occupied by his family, discerning design balances maximum transparency and complete privacy. Exterior hues of tea green complement a structure wrapped in hewn red cedar, a tactile choice that grounds the home's verticality within its lush, hillside environment. Inside, the 3+2.5 home features a 1,659 square-foot floor plan that prioritizes volume and light, anchored by a dramatic semi-circular stairwell that serves as both a functional core and an architectural focal point. The living room is defined by towering walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between the interior and the verdant exterior. Here, Carl Davis's "Ironic Column" hanging sculpture plays against the floor-to-ceiling windows, while a patio terrace extends the living space into a private sanctuary of mature plantings and an ancient staghorn fern. Interiors are curated for both warmth and modern utility, featuring newly installed cork flooring on the lower level and dimmable bare-bulb lighting in the dining area for a raw, industrial edge. On the second level, the primary suite utilizes the upper reaches of the living room's glass facade to harvest natural light and frame views of the surrounding treetops. Every room is a study in efficiency, from the kitchen with its hillside vistas to the private upper-level patio. This is a residence for the architectural purista home that celebrates the honesty of glass, wood, and thoughtful design in one of Los Angeles' most storied creative enclaves.
