As an event venue in Los Angeles, Garcia House brings John Lautner’s mid-century architecture to a setting above the Hollywood Hills, with angled steel supports, a sweeping curved roof and a glass-walled living volume. The property suits corporate receptions, private celebrations and product launches that call for hillside outlooks, preserved wood character and connected indoor-outdoor spaces.
Architecture At The Edge Of The Hillside
From the broad, level forecourt, the entrance approach leads to a house lifted above the slope on angled steel supports. The curved roof, glass, exposed steel and slim V-shaped supports create a distinctive exterior presence, while railings keep the mountain view open and surrounding trees help screen neighboring structures.
A Split-Level Living Room For Gathering
Inside, the main living room is a generous double-height, split-level volume under the arcing ceiling, with tall window bays on the view-facing side and a black stone fireplace anchoring the opposite end. A long built-in sofa and continuous wood shelving run through the room, and steps connect the seating area to the raised kitchen and circulation level. The window wall, indoor trees and hills beyond give the room depth while keeping the preserved wood character present.
Pool Terrace, Balconies And Hillside Seating
The modern pool follows the rounded edge of the slope, with submerged entry steps and a concrete deck that opens into a furnished lounge terrace. Umbrellas, dark woven seating and mature planting shape the pool level. Narrow balconies run along the curved facade, and one covered sitting terrace has wicker chairs, potted succulents and an uninterrupted hillside view.
Light, Materials And Connected Levels
Sliding glass doors connect the kitchen to a planted patio, and garden stairs descend through dense planting toward the lower terrace and pool, creating defined paths between levels. Inside, daylight enters mainly through the hillside glass and high clerestories, with deep roof overhangs and roller shades softening the interior as the sun shifts. The kitchen adds warm wood paneling, black counters, a peninsula, double sink and rugged stone walls, while the dark media lounge offers black walls and ceiling, wood cabinetry and a narrow panoramic window.
