Los Angeles-based architecture firm Good Project Company, founded by Pierre De Angelis, reinvents this stunning modernist minimalist villa perched atop the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Mount Olympus.

Oceanus House was built in 1975, then renovated and enlarged in 1992 by Donald Luckenbill, principal architect of the renowned Paul Rudolph firm. The scope of the new improvements focused on reinforcing horizontality to better extend living spaces between indoors and outdoors. White walls, oak floors, high ceilings, a spiral staircase and intelligent technology now structure Oceanus House. Spanning almost 700 m² on two levels, it boasts four bedrooms and six bathrooms. The spacious living room, with its integrated black steel fireplace and bespoke oak bookcase, boasts a sumptuous leather banquette in mid-century modern style. Nearby, the dining room and adjacent kitchen embrace the sun-drenched ensemble, thanks to large windows that open onto a terrace adorned with a pool and alfresco breakfast nook. Pierre De Angelis' renovations also focused on enlarging the existing façade, with overlapping cornices and soffits to further accentuate the linearity of the spaces. A modern renaissance that retains all its intimacy, with reoriented views of the Pacific Ocean and downtown.
