Perched high in the fabled Bird Streets above the Sunset Strip, Nightingale Residence by acclaimed Los Angeles architects Woods + Dangaran redefines contemporary hillside living through its seamless union of architecture, landscape, and light. Composed of more than 200 tons of hand-selected Turkish travertine, the design distills Californian modernism into a pure architectural form that feels both monumental and serene. Expansive walls of glass dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior, framing 280-degree panoramic views that stretch from the glittering skyline of Los Angeles to the distant horizon of the Pacific Ocean. The residence’s restrained material palette of white oak, stone, and plaster creates a tranquil continuity throughout, enhanced by a gravel roof inspired by traditional Japanese gardens, grounding the design in nature’s quiet balance.
At the heart of the home lies a 35-foot Jacaranda tree, dramatically enclosed within a double-height glass atrium, a living sculpture that bridges architecture and landscape. Surrounding it, the primary living spaces open to an 115-foot infinity-edge pool and sculptural trellis-shaded terrace that overlooks the city below. Inside, a chef’s kitchen outfitted with Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances integrates seamlessly with the dining and formal living areas, each oriented to capture light and horizon. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat, complete with a soaking tub, secluded atrium, and expansive custom closets, creating a personal sanctuary of calm refinement.
Beneath its serene exterior, Nightingale embodies the future of luxury wellness design. A private theater, gym, 1,000-bottle wine cellar, and full wellness suite with treatment room, sauna, and steam shower emphasize holistic living. Advanced Delos Super V air purification technology ensures pristine indoor air quality, underscoring the home’s commitment to health and longevity. Designed for effortless single-level living, the estate achieves an elegant equilibrium of precision and poise, where architectural mastery and sensory experience converge. Representing the pinnacle of modern residential design in Los Angeles, Nightingale Residence is an architectural landmark that defines the evolving standard of luxury and sustainability in the Hollywood Hills.
