Enveloped by the dramatic Hollywood Hills, this private mid-century residence required the ultimate outdoor room. The design concept was to link exotic plantings with spaces for entertaining, working, bathing, and even sleeping - urning the home 'inside-out'.

The living room opens on both sides to integrate seamlessly with the lush landscaping and integrated koi pond.

Make your home a tropical paradise with this dining room set perfect for a relaxed, yet refined dining room. The table has two stylish bases with woven inset tops and both the chairs and the table feature leather wrapped rattan bases, evoking ruminations of beach-side cabanas. Adding even more to the island theme, the upholstery on the arm chairs has palm fronds stitched into the back. The glass top of the table is less imposing then a less transparent surface would be, making your dining room seem bigger.
