A glass-and-steel staircase leads from the central hall to the master suite, which occupies the entire upper level. Designed to resemble a yacht, the bedroom and bath are outfitted with burled walnut and black granite floors. The bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of glass looking out to downtown Los Angeles. The bathroom features two showers along with a pair of irregularly shaped granite tubs. Outside the bedroom, a glass bridge passes over the den below to a small corner office with a built-in glass desk.

A larger office is located off a wide landing on a carpeted stairway that leads to the home’s lower level, which contains a pair of bedrooms with maple built-ins and glass walls. The lower level also has a fully equipped gym and a soundproof home theater with a green marble bar and sunken seating area.
