Big Bird is a one-of-a kind contemporary three storied residence situated at the peak of the Hollywood Hills on Swallow Drive. Designed as a U-shaped open courtyard house, it commands unique views of Los Angeles and tastefully integrates indoor outdoor living.

Organized into three levels : a lower level wellness zone, a mid level entrance and entertainment zone and an upper level private master suite with guest wing, the design strategy stratifies and maximizes indoor-outdoor living.

The lower level entertainment retreat is designed around hospitality concepts. The level has a custom 12 seat in-home theater with an adjacent live-performance foyer, cigar room, an open-to-sky courtyard with a green wall and a meditation pond. A large indoor pool and wellness spa area integrates an adjacent steam room, private massage room and gym.

The main entrance level is a grand open courtyard layout designed around indoor-outdoor living with the living, family, dining and kitchen all centered around the pool oriented to accentuate the unique views while maintaining privacy.

The upper level master suite and guest rooms take advantage of the most special views in the house. The master wing is designed as its own sustainable wing with an ensuite kitchenette and den. All living suites open directly to generous private terraces, each with column free corner glass doors that are fully automated to maximize the spectacular views of the Los Angeles region below.
