Residential Project
Perched above the Valley, this Encino Hills luxury home is a study in quiet luxury and indoor–outdoor flow. A restrained palette—white oak, softly veined stone, and matte black accents—keeps the architecture calm while framing long views. The plan centers daily life around an expansive working kitchen with a walk-in pantry and opens seamlessly to a resort-ready yard with pool, spa, firepit, and an outdoor kitchen.

Designing an Encino Luxury Home for Indoor–Outdoor Living
Arrival is bright and architectural: a two-story glass volume ushers light deep into the home, while the stair's white oak treads and vertical paneling with integrated LED reveals set a warm, refined rhythm.
A minimal glass guardrail and crisp black hardware keep the lines clean.
The kitchen reads as a modern atelier—continuous stone on counters and backsplash, dual islands for workflow, concealed refrigeration, and a slim linear pendant. Black-framed windows capture greenery and daylight, while the adjacent family area layers oak millwork with a clean linear fireplace; pocket sliders dissolve the threshold to the terrace for effortless entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite functions like a private lounge with built-ins, soft textures, and a balcony to valley views.
Bath spaces continue the material story in large-format stone, matte black fixtures, and precise lighting; the powder room shifts tone with a monolithic, vein-cut travertine vanity for a sculptural moment.
Craft is the throughline: custom millwork with crisp reveals, stone carried vertically for continuity, and a layered lighting plan—ambient, task, and subtle accents—that warms the palette and articulates texture.
Outdoors, architecture and landscape read as one composition: a disciplined grid of concrete and turf organizes circulation between the outdoor kitchen, dining terrace, pool, and spa. Low, linear planting and warm, integrated lighting keep the palette calm at dusk, while smart glass and pocket sliders manage privacy and climate without interrupting the valley views.
Every detail in this Encino Hills luxury home is considered—from integrated lighting and concealed storage to the gridded hardscape that organizes the yard—yielding a home that feels edited, comfortable, and distinctly Californian.
