Openhouse, now known to many as 'the Spread set', is located in the Hollywood Hills, and was designed by L.A. based Xten Architecture who were asked to custom build a cantilevered home that would jut out over the hillside, by previous owner Randolph Duke. As a fashion designer and stylist, Duke had the three-bedroom home designed with parties and photo shoots in mind. The 10ft tall retractable glass walls erase boundaries between inside and out, and allow fabulous views over Los Angeles from just about every angle of the home.
The stepped and suspended structure, with first floor open living space and a master suite on the second, hovers over the twinkling city.
The natural textures and stacked stonework rough the scheme out of predictable cool contemporary, resulting in an eye catching piece of design worthy of its film star status.
