The hillside home overlooking the Sunset Strip has a hidden nightclub, a $40,000 custom bed, and crystal installations selected by a shaman.
are all inspirations for our design,” says Rayni Williams. “We sought out to create something unique that will stand the test of time.”
To accomplish this, the Williamses and Somers enlisted Vantage Design Group and interior designer Victoria Gillet to bring their vision to life, featuring old-school Hollywood decadence mixed with contemporary glamor and flair. A total of $20 million to build and design the home. Only the finest materials were used, and all the furniture and decor are included in the sale, everything down to the toothbrushes and soaps in the bathroom. All you have to do is show up with your clothes.
“We wanted to create something that was trendsetting but had a reference that made Los Angeles so iconic, blending mid century-modern principles and organic textures with the latest and greatest technological and lifestyle components,” Somers tellsNearly every room has seamless outdoor access through sliding glass doors that peel away to reveal spacious patios and decks, both on the main level and second floor.
“With the location of the house in Hollywood and our respect for the entertainment industry, following a storyline with our development coming from inspiration from the classic James Bondmovie, which took place on a tropical island, was very inspirational to the lushness and intrigue of the site,” says Somers. “James Bond has always been a style master and a theoretical character as a homeowner to this house.
“The home is very linear, and it was important to accentuate the visage with a lightness of architecture, which we expressed by creating these razor-edge profiles with Shou Sugi Ban, or Japanese burnt wood, and deconstructing the facia further with a bronze silhouette that we think will be very trendsetting in the future of architecture. However, it’s actually taking a page from the legendary architect John Lautner.”Finally, the home has several crystal installations throughout the property.
