A walk-through of the luxury Stradella House , made complete by an LA backdrop

A stunning modern home , nestled in the arching hillside of Bel Air , offers expansive views of Century City , Downtown LA , the Hollywood Reservoir , and the Pacific Ocean . Completed by design-build firm , HM DG INC ., the home prioritizes modern , sustainable living through its extensive use of Kebony wood . This global leader in the production of sustainably modified wood provides the bespoke luxury home with a striking aesthetic , befitting of its unique location .

The 7500 square-foot , five-bedroom home sits on a 2.5-acre lot in a tuckedaway neighborhood of exclusive homes . It was designed by HM DG Principal , Hassan Majd , whose firm also built the residence , which recently sold for nearly $ 12 million .
The striking exterior of the two-story home is covered on the first level with sand-colored stucco and on the second , Kebony wood . The specialist timber requires zero maintenance , and ages from an initial golden color , to a silver-grey over time .
