Set high up in the Bird Streets neighborhood of Hollywood Hills West, this contemporary home makes the most of cityscape views. Acurving roofline and bands of clerestory windows deviate from the home’s clean lines and bring in natural light throughout the day. Glass walls leave little to the imagination, taking in a terraced courtyard in the front and a panorama of downtown L.A. in the rear.
