12316 16th Helena Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049
Designed by renowned Santa Monica architect Johannes van Tilburg, this striking residence is a refined expression of modernist geometry where simplicity, proportion, and light take center stage. Inspired by the architectural philosophy of Luis Barragan, the home blends modernism with subtle traditional influences. Clean architectural lines and thoughtfully placed interior windows foster a dynamic interplay of openness and connection. Soaring ceilings provide gallery-scale walls ideal for art, while expansive windows frame tranquil views and bathe the interiors in natural light. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow is perfectly suited for entertaining, anchored by a reimagined pool that commands the rear deck, complete with a lovers fountain that enhances the home's tranquil, resort-like atmosphere. The spacious primary suite features generous closet space, complemented by three additional bedrooms, one currently styled as a home office. Celebrated in the LA County Museum of Art Art & Architecture Tour, the Women's Architectural League, and the American Institute of Architects Tour, this nearly 3,000-square-foot home is a rare and private offering, tucked away in the coveted Helena's.
