7229 Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles, CA | $2,400,000 | 1 BD | 1.5 BA
Domus Solaris is one of those rare Hollywood Hills homes that has it all – style, location, and views. Designed by renowned architect Donald Hensman in 1975 as his own personal residence, this Modern masterpiece is perched atop Mulholland Drive and offers stunning panoramic views of Los Angeles.
At dusk, Domus Solaris appears to float in a tight orbit between the twinkling lights of Los Angeles and the vast blue sky above. This architectural home is a beacon of sophistication & style, offering panoramic views of the cityscape & beyond.
The sun’s light is strongest during the day, united with nature, at “The house of the Sun.” The occupants here are in communion with phenomena that transcend us: an endless sky and mountains, solitude shared with only wind, sun and air.
This iconic Buff & Hensman home boasts a “perched on a promontory like a luxury railway car” design with two-way views, according to the Los Angeles Times, and is trimmed down to essentials so as to create an open frame for the holistic living space offered by patios and pool (more than 2 times the interior area).
Domus Solaris brings to mind both the Philip Johnson’s “Glass House” in Connecticut and the world-renowned “Barcelona Pavilion” by Mies van der Rohe.
The idea of romance hidden within Modernism is the ability to unlock human potential through total immersion in freedom and privacy. This home features one large bedroom, 1.5 baths, and a garage that could easily be turned into a second pavilion.
