Club James entertainment venue was designed by Conner & Perry Architects across seven decades in Los Angeles. Adding to an iconic hillside property by John Lautner, the firm has previously overseen alterations to the pad made famous in The Big Lebowski. A swimming pool, dining terrace, barbecue zone and kitchen facilities feature in the hillside property, complete with a new movie screening room. Architects want their work to be “an evolution of the visual language” of the original designer.
Step into the world of the Rustic Canyon Residence, an architectural triumph nestled in the heart of Santa Monica Canyon, California. Renowned architects Kristopher Conner and James Perry seamlessly blend the sublime aesthetics of contemporary design with the rich history of this unique locale. Once a testing station for the Forestry Service in the early 20th century, this two-story house now serves as an awe-inspiring canvas for a world-class art collection, a nod to its illustrious past.
The residence, a testament to organic architecture, offers a stunning indoor-outdoor experience, framed by majestic Oak and Eucalyptus trees. Exquisite design features such as pocketing glass exterior walls and extended eaves create a serene living space that truly integrates with the surrounding nature. On the inside, materials like massangis grey limestone and French oak mirror the outdoors, further solidifying this magical connection to the environment. With each turn, this home embodies an immersive California experience.
