This Hollywood Hills contemporary home by architects David Thompson and Kevin Southerland of L.A.-based Assembledge studio is clearly inspired by the surrounding landscape. This hillside villa offering the perfect vantage point to take it in the breathtaking 180-degree views of Los Angeles. Set on a rare, flat parcel of land in this slope site, the house plan features simple geometric forms with a horizontal, low-profile silhouette. The integration of indoor and outdoor living rooms really brings a new level of living to this home. Whether on the ground or upper level, there is always an outdoor connection, be it via a walkout to the garden or pool, along the balcony encircling the upstairs, or even just by virtue of the massive glass walls and skylights enclosing the space while letting the outdoors in. The only toss-up of this contemporary home is which views are tops – those by day or the glimmering lights at night! Assembledge
