Overview

Tucked into the lush, green hills of Echo Park, this sustainable testament to modern simplicity was designed by Swedish architecture firm Jordens Arkitekter. In this design, Jordens sought to bridge the gap between global and local, analog and digital while creating a living environment that would breathe and live in harmony with its inhabitants. Clad in wood and built to work in tandem with the existing natural landscape, this one-of-a-kind property is equal to the task. Its striking, modern-minimal silhouette embodies the principles that Jordens stands for: valued craftsmanship and the promotion of a slower pace of living that encourages presence and fosters tranquility. In each room, a floor- to ceiling wall of windows welcomes a flood of natural light. Along with the expansive views, the main living area also holds a chefs kitchen, which thoughtfully enhances the space and experience. With three bedrooms including one flex space with its own separate entrance and four bathrooms spanning over 2,200 square feet (or 204 square meters, it is Swedish, after all), this home is a true jewel of the lively Echo Park neighborhood. Stones and tiles from Sweden and fully owned solar panels are just a few of the eco-conscious details that subtly relay the thoughtful approach and intentional choices made throughout this multi-year-long development. Says Jordens, Architecture is not just about the building itself but those who use it. Our mission is to involve people and give shape to their dreams. With gated entry and parking for 3+ cars, this hillside perch is truly a mindful, modern treasure when it comes to serene living in the heart of the city.
