Skygarden to Redefine Luxury Living in the Bel Air Hillside

LOS ANGELES - April 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Mercer Vine (http://mercervine.com/), an emerging leader in Los Angeles luxury real estate, has announced the exclusive listing of Skygarden, an expansive luxury development located at 10721 Stradella Court in the Bel Air hills.

Developed by Woodbridge Luxury Homes and designed by SAOTA, a South Africa-based architectural firm, in collaboration with agency of record Woods + Dangaran, Skygarden is scheduled for completion in late 2018 and is expected to fetch a sales price of more than $100 million.

"Everything about Skygarden is carefully planned to establish it as one of the top homes in a legendary luxury neighborhood," says Adam Rosenfeld, founding partner at Mercer Vine and one of the property's listing agents. "The land was selected and the compound was meticulously designed to pair the private Bel Air lifestyle with the most modern design elements, amenities and entertainment spaces. It will be a modern-age palace."

Designed to provide contemporary comfort and pay homage to mid-century-modern styles, Skygarden will be a collection of structures built on multiple levels of the Bel Air hillside. The architect utilizes an open-air concept to create 300-degree panoramic views of downtown, Culver City, the Pacific Ocean and Stone Canyon Reservoir. This concept is paired with a series innovative screens that ensure that these incredible views never sacrifice privacy or solar protection.

The home's unrivaled entry will include a 150-foot water feature that appears to flow directly into an infinity pool. The entrance hall positions visitors to experience all the home's views before entering a double-height dining hall that sits on an axis with a main staircase that wraps around a glass elevator.

"The arrival sequence is defined by a series of events - punctuations along a journey - revealing the building slowly as one's frame of reference changes moving through the spaces," says architect Mark Bullivant. "The tension builds from a subtle first impression at the street, to the powerful all-encompassing vantage point of the entrance hall."

The home will have six bedrooms, including a 2,700-square-foot master suite, guest house, three staff rooms, theater, wine cellar and gym. There will also be a spa that includes a sauna, steam room, and hot and cold plunges. The infinity-edge pool will have an overall length of 84 feet and allow for 60 feet of lap-swimming. These amenities will be surrounded by signature trees and meticulous landscaping that give the sense of a "garden in the sky" overlooking Los Angeles.

Skygarden is the latest in a series of high-end partnerships between Woodbridge Luxury Homes and Mercer Vine, which is Woodbridge's exclusive listing agency. Other recent high-profile partnerships and transactions include the acquisition and renovation of:

    - The former home of Hard Rock Café co-founder Peter Morton at 1001 Hanover Drive;

    - The 1,920-square-foot home of actress Peggy Lipton for $3.7 million; and

    - The sale of a 6,500-square-foot Hidden Hills equestrian ranch to entertainer Miley Cyrus for $5 million.
