Full of framed views, visual surprises and hovering above a pool deck—this recently completed home by the Borneo-born and L.A.-based architect Elyse Alam came on the market this week. The 3-level, 4-bed, 3-bath home sits at the edge of a hillside overlooking the city, with a very private street front that is also selectively open to the broad vistas at the back. A perfect example of L.A. Minimalism, Alam’s layout is simple—the street level has a living space for entertaining plus an office, the bedrooms are above, and the lowest level has another living room and plus that pool carved out of the hillside—plus the detailing is impeccable.

The primary bedroom is separated by the central stairwell from the other bedrooms and features a spa-level bath. Note the frameless, floor-to-ceiling door.
