Description

The Mahler / Adams Residence, 1924-1998, William Adams, Architect. The published studio / home of sculptor Anna Mahler, daughter of Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, is a remarkable demonstration of Mies van der Rohe's adage: Less is more. While memorializing them in the new floor surface in deference to Mahler, Adams daringly removed living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom walls, and ceilings creating an inspiring new space for modern living. The new open plan features spacious high-ceilinged living/dining space with fireplace. Remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances and a corner banquette. A primary bedroom with en suite bathroom, and walk-in closet with handcrafted Mortise & Tenon cabinetry. The second bedroom can also function as an office and opens directly to the private exterior and into nature. A party-sized sundeck, sheltered by a canopy of shade trees, adorns the hillside, and affords wide views of the surrounding canyon, making it the perfect place to unwind or host friends. The front yard includes a parking pad as well as carport for two cars. Situated in sylvan Beverly Glen, with the prestigious Bel Air zip code, The Mahler / Adams Residence offers an artful blend of rich, bohemian history and warm contemporary architectural significance.
