GLASS WALLS HOME Hollywood Hills,CA - WealthyKidRealEstate

My faavvoorriitte cuzzo Subee is always ranting about having her 'glass house on the beach'. Now, while I love modern architecture, I'm more into the wood/sustainable type look, but I never knock her style-- It's miles ahead of mine.

This Hollywood Hills gem built by artchitect John Lautner, blends in beautifully with it's surroundings. The use of organic materials creates a "spa" like feel throughout the house. With glass walls, you can see L.A. skyline (however miniscule) from any room. Even the bathroom!










What do you think about this home? Are you more into conventional homes, modern homes, or condos? Fill me in, kids.

Luxury Hilltop Glass Home in Los Angeles,CA

Nothing makes my knees buckle and my teeth grit more than a well built modern home. The modest window placements, ambient lighting, and (in most cases) use of sustainable materials, all seem to scream "This is where you need to be right now!". Who doesn't crave straight lines and hard edges (ahem)? Futurism is a vital requirement in the non-existent Wealthy Kid Book of Ethics.

But alright jetsetters, on to the pad:



Designed by Ray Kappe in Los Angeles,California, oddly, this home was built originally in the 60's. It was later restored to it's glory by architect Michael LaFetra, and is now on the market! it taughts five large bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a rooftop deck, and an amazing hilltop view of L.A. Most of the home is made of glass so it is difficult to notice the wood and concrete that make up the home's foundations.

The most stunning feature, in my opinion, is the pimp ass pool. It sits on the edge of the hill, and looks as if it is about to spill over into the valley. What wouldn't I give to sit on of those lounges while being fed grapes by three or four LA Babes? Ah, a sweet dream. This home is listed for 4.5 Million dollars. Got the mulah to buy it? Head over to realtor.com

Now, let me know what your idea of a dream home? How do you feel about modern architecture, do ya love it? Or are you still praying for that little house on the prairie. :-/
