Home of the Week: Beverly Crest showplace strikes a balance between modern and worldly comforts

Entered through a walled meditation garden, this hillside residence in Beverly Crest presents itself as a perfect marriage of European influence and modern technique.

Steel and metal panels and sculptural screens line the exterior, giving the multilevel home a shell-like appearance that is both subtle and expressive. A meditation garden leads to a towering glass front door. The light-filled entry flows into an open great room lined with walls of glass and finished with concrete radiant-heated floors.
