In the last decade or so, The Bird Streets in the private community of Doheny Estates have become one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after and exclusive showbiz enclaves.
With its superior views of the Sunset Strip and Beverly Hills, it is no wonder that A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Tobey Maguire, Jodie Foster and Ariana Grande are flocking to the Hollywood Hills neighbourhood named after its avian-themed streets.
Its newest permanent residents are Arya and Michael Martin, the duo behind the LA-based interior design and development firm Studio OSKLO, which specialises in luxury residential properties and select client projects.
“Doheny Estates is close to our hearts, and this is our second project completion for Studio OSKLO,” says the design couple, who usually stays in the same neighbourhoods for sequential projects. “The wide streets, sidewalks and approachable glamour makes it a cooler alternative to Beverly Hills.”
THE OLD RENEWED
For a long time, the Hollywood Hills has had its fair share of homes crafted in a mix of Hollywood Regency, Spanish and mid-century architectural styles. When the newer area came about in the 1960s, those of the California ranch style and mid-century hodge lodge started cropping up.
The Martins’ private residence is one of the many newer builds that defy the conventional, when they decided for the first time to build something completely from scratch, creating a modern estate mixing contemporary and mid-century architecture.
