11968 Brentridge Drive

Description

Discover one of Los Angeles's most significant new architectural offerings in Brentwood's most coveted enclave, designed by the AD100 recognized duo Ramin and Pamela Shamshiri of Studio Shamshiri. 11968 Brentridge Drive stands as a masterwork of contemporary design, where curved geometries and light interplay to transcendent effect. Completed in 2024, this expansive 12,587-square-foot residence orchestrates a stunning dialogue between modernist architecture and its natural surroundings across 1.2 acres of meticulously curated grounds. The residence is revealed through a monumental faade, where board-formed concrete and steel-framed geometrical windows establish a commanding presence. Beyond the gates, a sculptural porte-cochre introduces the home's architectural language of sweeping curves and dramatic voids. A circular oculus floods the space with natural light, casting ever-changing shadows across limestone floors. Inside, 20-foot ceilings soar above the main living spaces, where floor-to-ceiling steel windows frame verdant views. The interiors showcase museum-quality finishes: hand-troweled plaster walls, bronze details, and limestone surfaces that ground the spaces in materiality. A monolithic concrete fireplace anchors the living room, complemented by commissioned art pieces that punctuate the carefully considered sight lines. The kitchen reveals a space for creative culinary craftsmanship, featuring a Wolf range, Miele appliances, and custom millwork that conceals abundant storage. A temperature-controlled wine vault and professional-grade bar create sophisticated spaces for entertaining. A sweeping helical staircase leads to the primary suite occupying the entire upper level. Here, a study and lounge open to a private roof terrace with an exterior fireplace. The primary bath presents as a wellness retreat, where a freestanding garden tub and dual shower are positioned beneath strategic skylights, creating an extraordinary connection to the canopy above. The five-bedroom suites in the main house and additional guest house suite offer hotel-grade luxury, each featuring ensuite baths, detailed with rare stones and metalwork that mirror the home's modernist aesthetic. In the backyard, a series of outdoor spaces unfold, each thoughtfully designed for different moments of the day. A resort-caliber pool reflects the sky, while meandering pathways lead through gardens fragrant with blooming jasmine. A private funicular -- reportedly the only operational residential one in Los Angeles -- ascends to two well-appointed luxury yurts positioned to capture panoramic ocean views. Technical sophistication underpins the entire estate, including Control4 automation, surround sound throughout, and a six-car garage accessing the main residence via an underground tunnel. This architectural tour de force represents an artistic achievement where every detail has been conceived to create an unprecedented living experience.
