Modern 17 is a contemporary modern house built around broad city-facing glazing, layered terraces and a long curved lap pool. Pale stone cladding, deep roof overhangs and crisp horizontal volumes give the exterior a clean architectural profile, while retractable glass connects the main living rooms directly to furnished outdoor areas. Below, darker leisure spaces provide an immediate tonal change without leaving the property.
The rear elevation opens across two levels, with glass-railed balconies above a deep covered patio and pale stone pool deck. The large lap pool follows the curved edge of the site, creating long water-level perspectives toward the skyline and canyon landscape. Hedges contain the deck without interrupting the distant view. Black loungers, dining furniture and low outdoor sofas establish several ready-made conversation and relaxation setups. The overhang creates an open-air room beside the water, giving crew and camera some protection from direct sun while preserving a clean view through to the pool. This terrace gives commercials, music videos and still photography reflective water, modern architecture and a wide city backdrop within one setup. At dusk, architectural lighting and blue pool illumination turn the house into a more graphic, futuristic exterior.
Inside, the house maintains a warm contemporary modern look rather than a stark white-box finish. Pale stone floors meet horizontal wood paneling, dark cabinetry and veined stone surfaces. The open kitchen faces a large sectional seating area, with a dark island and bar stools providing a practical foreground. Sliding glass corners extend the room toward the pool, allowing shots to hold interior action, terrace depth and the Beverly Hills view in one axis. A separate dining room has a long table beneath a sculptural linear chandelier, plus a wide opening to another furnished terrace. Upstairs, a softly furnished sitting room opens directly to a narrow lawn balcony behind a frameless glass rail. A marble-lined bathroom combines a glazed shower, freestanding upholstered bench and private planted terrace. Clean finishes and uncluttered circulation give the house a polished luxury-residential read on camera.
City-facing rooms receive strong open-sky daylight through full-height glass, with the brightest schedule available across the living areas, bathroom and pool deck during daytime hours. Deep overhangs soften that light near the sliding doors and provide shaded reverse angles. When exterior light moves, crews can shift downstairs to spaces shaped primarily by recessed fixtures, ceiling strips and decorative LEDs. The lower level is broad and open, with polished floors, a pool table, lounge seating and a faceted stone bar backed by a black geometric screen. It can play as a private club or high-end recreational suite. Nearby, the home theater has tiered seating, dark carpet, a large projection screen and an illuminated cracked-stone feature wall. The mirrored gym offers a largely clear floor, black stone underfoot and repeated linear reflections for movement shots. An elevator wrapped in textured metallic panels connects with bright upper corridors, while open wood treads add a second vertical route and a strong architectural insert. Ample parking supports cast, crew and equipment arrival; productions can coordinate shooting through the Beverly Hills film permit office while planning staging. Wide connections between the kitchen, lounges and terraces allow equipment to move between contrasting setups without breaking the principal sightlines.
