apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

In one, the Pasinetti House, the shower off the master bedroom is completely glass. Nope, the owners are not exhibitionists; a flick of a switch makes the glass completely opaque! In the other, the Caverhill Residence, located just east of Coldwater Canyon, the backside of the house, including one of the toilets in the guest wing over the garage, is completely open to the breathtaking view of the hills and downtown skyline.

• Pasinetti House - Originally built in 1958, it's been restored to its former glory, honouring the original architect's vision with contemporary touches.
  
• Caverhill Residence - Panoramic views of Los Angeles from the Hollywood Hills to Downtown are the core draw at this dramatic modern home. Its open floor plan, many terraces and balconies and low air-conditioning and heating requirements are icing on the cake.
