The Gelber Residence was designed by esteemed architect, Martin Gelber, FAIA, who was mentored by such architectural giants as, A. Quincy Jones and Richard Neutra. Not only a rare but a beautifully private property with panoramic views of the canyon, city, and ocean. As you step into the house you are surounded by natural light, the beautiful sculptural design, and the floor-to-ceiling windows all framing the stunning views. To your right is a studio/office space looking out on those views. To the left, you find a den/bedroom, bath, and the ensuite primary bedroom with a fireplace and those forever views. Down the ergonomically designed stairway, an oculus lights the way, to the left is a guest bedroom with its own entrance, deck and hall bath. Turning to the right and opening in front of you is the dining room, living room, conversation area, bar, fireplace, and the galley kitchen, all graced by the custom 18-foot, Clear Heart Redwood ceiling. Surrounding it all is the deck and views. Entertain an intimate group or big party. This property lends itself to both. All cabinetry is custom-made and created to make a simple but powerful architectural statement. The exterior is made of clean angular lines or "fins". This sustainable design is specifically created to keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Because of this unique energy-conserving element, the property was certified as the first passive solar house in California. In keeping with the sustainable energy-saving properties, the house is also designed to catch cross breezes. Indoors and out, the openness and quiet extends in all directions. The four currents of 1970s Modernism are in perfect balance here. The expansive backyard offers space suitable for a pool or other uses. An unfinished basement allows you to customize for yourself.
