Well-known Los Angeles designer, builder and Realtor – Steve Hermann of Steve Hermann Design – has listed what must be his biggest masterpiece to date: The Glass Pavilion, a 15,000 sq ft home set on 3.5 acres. When he builds in the Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills, Mr. Herman says he is usually restricted to a small lot. This lot measures about three-and-a-half acres and gave him the space he needed to create a home featuring walls of glass.
Private and exclusive atop a rolling green lawn, the house appears to float as if weightless upon arrival up the driveway. The architecture is stunning, taking top notes from upper echelon predecessors such as Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion and Phillip Johnson’s Glass House and expounding upon this architectural heritage to create a new classic.
The five bedroom, six bath Glass Pavilion includes a magnificent interior gallery space with walnut lined walls for showcasing prized collections, currently occupied by the owner’s thirty two vintage cars.
Every detail of the home is world class from the Varena, Poliform and Antonio Lupi kitchen and bath fixtures to the Star Fire glass, used by high-end jewelers for impermeable display cases. This is adream home for someone who wants to make a grand statement in the modernist oeuvre while enjoying the sensation of being perpetually surrounded by the beautiful outdoors.
