A Home With The Coolest Outdoor Home Theater |
Wednesday, 06 February 2008 |

We have found a candidate for the winner in the Coolest Home Theater
category. Just short of being a drive-in, this outdoor home theatre
surpasses the stinky basement family “media room” by close to a light
year.

Glass walls, clean lines, uninterrupted space, uncluttered rooms,
expensive detailing — the hallmarks of a modern, upscale classic are
all present in this stylish residence. Why anyone in possession of such
an amazing home with such breathtaking views, would want to watch
movies at home, is beyond us, but let’s just say that we wouldn’t mind
being invited to a screening or two. The terraces, patios and the 65-foot infinity pool and spa will keep
cinematically uninterested guests entertained as well. And we’ll all
stay at the separate guest house, of course.

But we must admit we are still lacking an invite to the
5,800-square-foot Skyline residence overlooking Hollywood and downtown
LA. The visit is up to the owner of the home, architect Hagy Belzberg,
a Harvard graduate (1991) who interned in Frank Gehry’s office.

The opulent home was designed by the entire team of his Santa Monica-based, 13-member Belzberg Architects that the now 43-year-old Hagy Belzberg founded in 1997. By Tuija Seipell
