This 6,700 sq ft single-family residence sits on the "Carla Rim" in the Trousdale Estates section of Beverly Hills.  The house is unusual in that the entire southern side opens to dramatic city and ocean views.  The kitchen, living room, and family room look across a private courtyard and mosaic lined infinity pool toward Catalina Island and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Varying roof and ceiling planes with clearstory windows between them delineate the interior spaces. Meanwhile, skylights provide an ever changing show of light and shadow throughout the day.
