he idea was what kind of a
romantic moment would a
movie star want to experience
in their own life, and how does
their personal movie unfold,"
confesses Daphna Ziman, the president of
TV network CINÉMOI and the developer
and designer of this house. The piece of land
immediately convinced Ziman to create this
project, which represents tried-and-true Hol-
lywood. "I got fed up with all the modern
homes being boxes, gray and dull," she says.
"So I wanted to design something that was
unique and different, and take advantage of
what Los Angeles Stands for—glamour and
views, sunsets and sunrises, and this is what
the house is all about."
Spread over 10,270 square feet, the
five-bedroom, eight-bath property compris-
es a massive motor court that can accommo-
date approximately 15 cars and a security
suite. With its skylit elliptical staircase float-
ing over a waterfall and pond, the dramatic
entrance is a prelude to the impressive great
room with 14-foot-high ceilings and walls
of automated glass that retract to welcome
in the exceptional panorama, in addition
to the full show kitchen and back catering
kitchen. Prevailing throughout the house,
the modern art deco style also characterizes
the primary bedroom, which features walls
paneled in Macassar and velvet.
"I chose every material for a reason with the idea in
mind to make everything very warm but still mod-
ern," says Ziman, who was particularly influenced
by Karl Lagerfeld and the late fashion icon's elegant,
richly textured house in the south of France. "There
is not one shade of gray in the entire home. Every-
thing is black and gold but understated and speaks
with an undertone rather than an overtone." With a
game room and bar, screening room, gym and three
additional bedrooms suites in the lower level, as well
as a 92-foot-long infinity edge pool and gardens, this
house, currently on the market for $33,950,000, is a
legend in its making.
