While snide house hunters will snub this pastel-hued Pacific Palisades gem, do notice the amazing bones, views--and the detailing in the sinks--of this four-bedroom, five-bathroom home on Almafi Drive. It takes a minute, but you will fall in love quite quickly. Pink, more pink, violet, and the random hunter green library, is yours for $4.05 million.
More house tour coverage from CA Boom, the three-day design conference in Santa Monica: Yesterday, the tour bus stopped at the Pacific Palisades home of Stanley Felderman and Nancy Keatinge, owners of a design firm in Century City. According to the press release, the owners "reinterpreted the concept of the split level, combining loft and suburban living...corner glass door in the living area slide back to create an open air pavilion." The backyard/back of the living area is indeed the most eye-catching feature of the house, but the lack of privacy--the master bedroom has no doors and is situated close to the front door--irked some members on our tour.

Following the trend of humbly building a green residence and quietly keeping the news to oneself, Los Angeled-based Kovac Architects has put up a web cam to track progress of their Sycamore House, a platinum LEED certified residence in the Pacific Palisades that'll probably win the Nobel Prize. Hopefully tomorrow's showing will be better, but this afternoon's movie was two construction guys having a conversation. Check out renderings of the home after the jump.
Cool renderings are here.>>>
Our pals at the Value of Architecture present this lovely modernist home, done in that fabu Bauhaus style we keep hearing so much about. The modern home, built in 1956, and recently redone by Callas-Shortridge, is a steel and glass wonderwork, featuring a skinny swimming pool, 3 beds and 3 baths - plus a fireplace! Via the listing:
The compound is situated amongst a sea of oaks, minutes from the village, the ocean, and the wilds of the Santa Monica Mountains. Its singularly must be seen, the energy of the site experienced.No mention if the site's energy can be harnessed to boil a pot of water or if it will just make the pot, water and owner feel good. The home is showing this Tuesday from 11am-2pm.
