Square Ft: 3,391 + 2,306 Guest/Studio

Listing Description
Located on a mountain top above Pasadena and the Rose Bowl on approximately 3.61 acres this touch of Shangri-La is a quiet and serene retreat. The home was designed by Thornton Ladd in 1951 with a vision for a great house utilizing the surrounding vast spaces and spectacular views. Many design elements governing the architecture and landscape include horizontal and vertical planes, floating slabs and trellises, interlocking levels and terraces, and a variety of geometric shapes, walls and screens. Each outdoor room is a visual extension of an indoor space. Though the studio lies considerably below the main residence, the two structures are visually tied by parallel geometric forms. Originally designed in 1953 and restored in 2001 by Marmol Radziner and Associates AIA, the Hilltop guesthouse and studio integrates Asian influences into a modern context.
