There exists a house high atop the Hollywood Hills called the Skyline Residence. Beautifully modern, its angular surfaces make the house a piece of art in and of itself. Designed by Belzberg Architects, the Skyline encompasses everything you'd want in a house, clean and modern, with an eco-friendly heart.
What draws me to this house, though, isn't just that it's modern. It's that outdoor patio. It's the way friends are lying on the concrete… Continue

(The painters have to is adhere to some color and shape guidelines.) I love… Continue
