Radius House is a context-specific, architectural residence and the first ground-up residential project by the Los Angeles-based design studio, Pentagon. This 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence features sculptural interior spaces and articulated facades, giving it a distinctive presence in an area recognized for expressive residential designs. Crisp angles, curved surfaces, and large picture windows throughout the two-story structure create unique moments of dialogue between indoor and outdoor. The home wraps a central courtyard on three sides. Lush landscaping by Sarita Jaccard Design surrounds a raised basalt slab containing a pool, sundeck, and fireplace, conceptualized as a "bento box" of outdoor activities. Inside, a cantilevered grand stair encircles a central atrium illuminated from above by a large oculus walkable skylight embedded in the outdoor roof terrace. The interior of the residence introduces finish selections that express visual contrast, human scale, and refined materials. The walnut cladding of the curved shelving in the entry continues through the kitchen to the grand stair and central atrium, wrapping upwards to the roof. The venetian plaster walls give the residence a luminous continuity and a handcrafted quality throughout. The radiant heated concrete of the first floor, and European white oak wood on the second floor, bring a feeling of comfort and warmth to both common and private spaces.

Originally a beach resort set on two miles of oceanfront property, Venice is now among LA’s hottest neighborhoods and is a top global tourist destination. In good company, Venice is adjoined northwesterly by Santa Monica, northeasterly by Culver City, Del Rey and Marina Del Rey, southerly by Ballona Creek, and westerly by the Pacific Ocean. Known for its canals, beaches, and classic Southern California architecture, Venice is one of Los Angeles’ most vital beach communities. Booming with modern architectural homes built along the boardwalk with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean as well as newly developed luxury apartment complexes, property in Venice continues to be among the most highly sought-after in LA. While the lots are traditionally smaller in size, the homes are impeccably designed, perfectly blending the sensibilities of a beach town and an eclectic urban hub.
The Venice Boardwalk—a nearly three-mile stretch of a pedestrian promenade boasting an endless parade of the most charismatic and unique entertainers and performers—is the city’s most well-known tourist attraction. Abbot Kinney Boulevard attracts a plethora of artists, restaurateurs, and designers, as well as new and high-end businesses. The neighborhood maintains a vibrancy and creative spirit unlike any other area in Los Angeles. Venice can be an entertainer’s dream or the ultimate sanctuary.
