In the verdant enclave of Trousdale Estates north of Sunset Boulevard, designer Jeff Vance and IDGroup CEO Ferial Sadeghian have created a stunning home that honors mid-century style while embracing contemporary design and panoramic Los Angeles views.
- Mid-century architecture inspires a modern LA home
- Natural light and outdoor views shape the design
- Art and craftsmanship enhance every room
What happened
Designer Jeff Vance and Ferial Sadeghian of IDGroup collaborated with longtime clients Barbara Glazer and Philip Morton to build a new home in Los Angeles’ prestigious Trousdale Estates. The existing house was demolished to make way for a modern residence that integrates with its natural surroundings and respects the mid-century architectural heritage of the neighborhood.
The home features an expansive open-plan layout with a central 100-foot gallery illuminated by a continuous skylight, reclaimed wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls bringing in sweeping views of the city skyline and Westside. Each room opens onto private gardens, creating a harmonious relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Why it feels good
The design blurs the lines between past and present by honoring mid-century design elements such as low-lying profiles and bespoke details while embracing contemporary materials and artistic touches. This approach creates a sense of continuity and warmth that resonates deeply with both residents and visitors.
Natural light is harnessed beautifully through architectural features that channel shifting daylight to create dynamic reflections and moods within the home. Attention to craftsmanship and the inclusion of meaningful artworks and sculptural elements add layers of cultural richness and a feeling of personal connection.
What to enjoy or watch next
Visitors and design enthusiasts can enjoy exploring how this home masterfully integrates art, architecture, and nature in one seamless experience. From the Art Deco-inspired kitchen pendants to the dramatic oval pool set against lush landscaping, each element invites admiration and inspires ideas for living with style and soul.
Keep an eye on IDGroup’s future projects for more innovative designs that balance timeless influences with contemporary innovation. Homes like this one show how thoughtful design can both preserve and reimagine architectural traditions for modern lifestyles.
