Sarbonne I House, an Urban Oasis in CA by McClean Design

Architecture Design of Sarbonne I House

Description About The Project

Sarbonne I House designed by McClean Design, inspired by Southern California’s temperate climate and spectacular city views. This 14,000-square-foot residence is designed as an entertainer’s urban haven. The narrow lot inspired a grand hallway that serves as a spine for the main rooms, featuring high ceilings, abundant natural light, and oversized windows and doors that open to outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Gray striated marble walls emphasize the corridor’s length. Multiple indoor and outdoor water features, along with a material palette of gray and cream stone, metals, glass, and themes of transparency, light, and fire, lend warmth to the home.

The house is approached via an expansive circular vehicle court. Oriented to the northeast, the home features a four-car garage beneath a terraced garden. The lower level includes an entry foyer, living room, spiral staircase hall, library/office, dining room facing a wine storage room, kitchen/family room, media room, pantry, maid’s quarters, split-level laundry, and two powder rooms. The upper level comprises a master suite with his and hers closets and baths, an office, three bedrooms with full baths, a gym, and a guest suite with a bedroom, living room, and full bath. A standout feature is the stair hall’s ultra-modern, crisp white spiral staircase with charcoal-toned wood treads.

Outdoor spaces include an entry court, large lawn with built-in seating, lap pool/spa with fire feature, front terrace, back linear garden with two water features, and two upper-level wooden decks. The tight hillside lot presented a challenge, successfully resolved by elevating most flat outdoor areas on caissons. An open green lawn above the two-car garage features a built-in seating area with a linear fire pit, flanked by olive trees, providing a beautiful spot to admire the city views. The southern façade’s polished white stone forms an expansive deck, leading to an overlong infinity lap pool framing the view with a floating fire feature, enhancing the drama. The result is a modern urban haven that appears to float above the city below.

Text by the Architects: Inspired by Southern California’s temperate climate and the site’s spectacular city views, this 14000-square-foot house residence is designed to be an entertainer’s urban haven. The very narrowness of the lot inspired us to create a grand hallway that acts as a spine for all the main rooms allowing them high ceilings with abundant natural light and oversized windows/doors that open to the outdoors, blurring the boundary between living spaces and patio gardens. Gray striated marble walls emphasize the length of the corridor. Multiple indoor and outdoor water features-along with a material palette comprised primarily of gray and cream stone, metals, glass and themes of transparency, light, and fire lend warmth to the home.
