The Bernardi House

Los Angeles, United States

The Bernardi House is an architectural odyssey, a living sculpture perched upon a private Silver Lake hillside that commands arguably the greatest view in all of Los Angeles. Originally a 1917 Spanish duplex, the structure was radically reimagined by artist Fritz Haeg into a "cubic wrapper with cut corners," creating a vertical, rocket-like silhouette. The exterior, finished in a specialized white stucco infused with mica dust, glistens under the California sun, while the interior logic unfolds as a sensory journey of color and form. This celebrated residence, featured in the pages of The New York Times, Dwell, and Architektur & Wohnen, offers a seamless synthesis of 1920s romanticism and avant-garde modernism.

Each level of the home serves a distinct purpose, using a vibrant palette—from sun-drenched orange and yellow communal spaces to grounded, muted blue and cedar-toned private quarters. Haeg’s design dissolves the boundaries between the home and the rugged landscape, integrating the outdoors through circular windows and a central, lush solarium featuring simulated rain and tropical flora. Re-polished and refurbished in 2025, the house invites guests to inhabit a space where hand-carved wooden built-ins and "rock formation" seating emerge organically from the walls, providing a truly one-of-a-kind living experience in the heart of the city’s creative pulse.

Modernism

The property is a "thoroughly original" mutation of a classic 1920s Spanish box. Gutted to its studs and reconstructed into a three-story contemporary masterpiece, it draws inspiration from neighboring modernist landmarks by R.M. Schindler. It balances the romantic volume of Spanish architecture with the sculptural precision and verticality of 21st-century modernism.
