The Glassridge Residence. A Tadao Ando inspired organic modern with walls of glass that open to ocean and Getty views. Privately gated and set along one of Bel Air's most prominent ridgelines, the estate was newly completed in 2025 by Studio MD - AIA, with interiors by James Rosen. The main level is conceived as an open-plan environment with soaring 12' ceilings and sliding glass walls that connect living, dining, and kitchen spaces directly to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen reads like a gallery installation, featuring full-height travertine surfaces, a 15' waterfall island, and seamless, handle-less cabinetry that conceals an integrated Miele appliance suite, including double ovens and a built-in espresso machine. On the top level, a private vestibule with a stone-clad prep bar, integrated sink, and refrigerator precedes the primary suite, creating a quiet transition before the view reveals itself. Designed to honor its breathtaking setting, the bedroom is lined with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls that open to a wraparound private terrace, extending the suite outdoors and framing uninterrupted hillside and ocean views. The en-suite bath is resort-caliber, finished in travertine with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, and custom double floating vanities. A linear skylight draws natural light into the space, while a custom walk-in closet sits adjacent, integrated with matching wood millwork. The lower level is organized as a sequence of architectural moments featuring a linear corridor set against an exposed board-formed concrete wall, left intentionally raw, accented by wide-plank oak flooring. This level includes a private three-tier theater, temperature-controlled wine room, gym and steam shower, bar and lounge area that opens to a separate outdoor deck, all designed as a self-contained environment for leisure, wellness, and entertaining. A fully integrated Control4 system manages lighting, climate, audio, and security. The backyard showcases a 41' infinity pool that visually disappears into the landscape, flowing into a waterfall feature visible from the lower deck below. Lounge areas, dining zones, a built-in Alfa wood-fired pizza oven, grill, and a level lawn are arranged as distinct outdoor settings, all oriented toward the surrounding hills. 1149 Linda Flora Drive stands apart as an architecturally distinguished estate thoughtfully designed for privacy and wellness.
