gradient during sunset time, which is quite
extraordinary," says designer Zatikyan.
"To maximize the natural light in the living
room areas, we actually matched the
colossal pocket doors with same size
windows above."
The scenes inside the house are equally
strikingly, sometimes to a jaw-dropping
degree. Note the Sahara Noir marble
fireplace, a smashing architectural extrav-
agance stretching two stories from floor to
ceiling, and the floating glass and marble
staircase, a showpiece that greets one
from the entryway. The wine cellar, mean-
while, is "an original idea willed into reality"
and completely visible from almost every
room on the first floor. "Yet again," Zatikyan
explains of this element, "giving the house
a small nugget of a space where traditional
and modern work together in harmony to
create something incredibly unique."
Finishes throughout the house are
exquisite. Natural wood, for example, is
used in every living space "to ensure the
home feels like a real home, rather than
a hotel," says the designer. "However,
we still wanted the home to have its own
contemporary personality and luxurious
interior which is easily accented with
many styles of furniture." To this end, she
adds, "we have paired the pleasant wood
flooring with Bianco Neve white marble on
most of the first floor, as well as Bronze
Amani marble for one of the fireplaces
and the matching bar." Marble is always
a congenial canvas; flexible with any
style of décor, while lending the space
a timeless, elegant feel. "We trusted the
flawless craftsmanship of Italian furniture,
which truly never goes out of style—all
of the closets, bathroom vanities and the
kitchen have been imported from Italy. In
addition, every single one of the elegant
interior doors with magnetic locks are from
the Romagnoli factory in Italy."
The result is a house with "a sense of
'home' from the moment one walks through
the door," says agent Nick Sandler. "We
want everyone that steps inside to be able
to imagine California living at its finest."
