High-end, high-art Houses at 8899 Beverly debut on market

Seattle’s architectural firm Olson Kundig is transforming the luxury residential market in WeHo with their new project, the Houses at 8899 Beverly, following their design of the luxury condominium 8899 Beverly.

Situated in West Hollywood, the luxury tower 8899 Beverly features 38 individualized residences, with the adjacent Houses at 8899 Beverly comprising eight unique single-family homes. These residences, also designed by Olson Kundig, showcase diverse architectural styles and are linked cohesively. The homes are priced starting at $6 million and include various designs like Concrete House, Bronze House, Wood House, Stone House, Glass House, Brick House, Garden House, and Steel House.

Positioned in West Hollywood’s art and design district, the Houses at 8899 Beverly provide the privacy of a single-family home along with access to the amenities of the 8899 Beverly tower, which include a 24-hour concierge, fitness center, and pool and spa. The amenities are located between the tower and the houses on Rosewood Avenue. Olson Kundig’s design integrates local materials and aims to connect residents with their surroundings.

Each house employs natural materials such as wood, stone, glass, bronze, or concrete, reflecting California’s indoor-outdoor living style. Landscaping by Coen + Partners features native Californian plants and emphasizes each house’s connection to nature.

Mike Leipart, managing partner of new development at The Agency, explains that while the architectural approach is consistent across the property, each home is distinct in its architectural features, layout, and interaction with the landscape. The homes are designed with specific materials to enhance their unique characteristics and integrate with the natural environment.

Examples include the Garden House, which utilizes light, air, and greenery, and includes a metal trellis to blend with its natural setting. The landscaping varies across the homes, with the Garden House featuring specific trees and plants. The Wood House incorporates various wood treatments and is inspired by Japanese Zen gardens, while the Concrete House features panel-formed, site-cast concrete and exposed steel, emphasizing each home’s unique design elements.
