Set on nearly an acre of botanical grounds and secluded from the nearby Los Angeles urbanity, lies a verdant, gated architectural sanctuary, composed of a wood clad, glass and stone multi-level residence with a separate studio. Redesigned in 1991 for Eagles acclaimed songwriter, JD Souther, this residence was enlarged in 2002 by the architectural luminary Stephen Kanner, FAIA, creating a light-flushed canyon retreat with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding wood windows throughout to capture the forested vistas beyond.
