Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis tour showcases a $7.3 million, 5,514-square-foot modern residence in Studio City, Los Angeles. The home blends a \"moody\" contemporary aesthetic with Zen influences, utilizing organic materials like lava rock, limestone, and white oak. The design emphasizes a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, integrating natural greenery and architectural lighting to create a sophisticated, tranquil living environment.
A lot of you have been enjoying
the more reasonably priced homes,
and this one is on the market for $7.3 million.
We're in Studio City, Los Angeles.
It's a newly constructed modern home,
5,514 square feet of interior space,
and it really packs a punch.
You'll see lava rock, shishigibon exterior clad,
white oak millwork, plaster walls,
and limestone used throughout.
It also has a clean, functional layout
and features plants throughout,
even in places you wouldn't expect.
It's a unique take on a modern home,
and I'm excited to show you around.
On the exterior, we have three different sections.
To our right, we have the entry,
and that volume is nicely pushed back for some protection.
Above that, the rectangular frame
houses the second floor of this property,
and then we have this section that sits forward
that houses the two car garage.
Now, I really like how they used shishigibon
on the second floor, as well as with the garage door,
and then we have this lava rock.
This stone was sourced from Hawaii,
and it provides so much texture and depth to this home.
And then we have the greenery, the landscaping.
I really like the aesthetic of this home.
Now, to lean more into the natural materials,
instead of a concrete driveway,
they went with this gravel approach,
and the opening here is cased in steel,
which is a nice contemporary touch.
And earlier on today,
we got a chance to park our Cadillac here,
and let me tell you,
the Escalade IQ looked so good on this driveway.
Also, given that we're pretty close to the street,
I feel like they've done a pretty good job
creating a separation between the street and the plot itself.
This section is nicely landscaped.
Same gravel continues with these trees, plants, boulders,
and they also have extensive outdoor lighting here,
so I'm sure at night,
this section is gonna light up beautifully.
Now, to my left,
we have the flagstone walkway leading us to the front door.
I really like the natural approach here
and how all the greenery surrounds the entry of this home,
and there's also a water feature here.
Not too small, not too big, just the right size,
and it adds a little tranquility and this natural element
before you walk into your home.
Now, the entry is cased in steel
with this fixed window to the left,
your pivot door here.
Let's go inside.
The foyer features natural materials throughout.
On the floor, we have limestone
installed in this flagstone pattern
where you can see all the imperfections,
the edges, and these big graph lines.
And here, they also use limestone to case this shelf here
that looks so nice against the plaster walls.
Now, given the lighter tonality of this plaster,
you can see all the brush marks
and the imperfections that are on the floor.
And that brings so much character and warmth to this entry.
Now, on this step-up section and the rest of the main floor,
we have dark-stained white oak hardwood floors,
and the same wood continues to this side
where we have the staircase.
I really like how they continue the plaster walls
all the way to the steps with no reveals
and recessed in lighting.
But here, they incorporated a subtle reveal
and cased the top with the same white oak as well.
The two-story foyer gets a ton of natural light
thanks to all these picture windows, the lighter tonality.
Above me are these rice paper
Japanese lantern light fixtures.
These are lightweight fixtures that are substantial in size
and perfect for big voids like this
if you wanna fill up the space.
But beyond that, because of their lightweight construction,
you don't need to further support
or beef up your ceiling design
to accommodate light fixtures like this.
They diffuse the light really well,
create a softer aesthetic,
and here, compliment this home really well.
Now, to my left, we have an indoor garden.
In fact, this is a theme that you're gonna see
throughout this home.
Greenery is life, and bringing a natural element like this,
especially right off the entry of your home,
is such a nice touch.
Indoor gardens absorb CO2 in the air,
release oxygen, and calm the nervous system.
So I thought this was a very nice touch.
And above, you can see how they finished
underneath the staircase.
Instead of just framing this wall straight,
they wanted to highlight each one of the steps.
This is a lot more labor-intensive.
Now you need to cover each one of these corners,
continue the same plaster,
but it's an interesting architectural detail to look at.
It makes it a little bit more fun.
Normally, when you just have a straight line,
it can be a little bit more boring,
and these steps will cast shadow on the wall here,
and it's just a unique feature.
I wanted to point that out.
Now, going this way, we have a hallway
that leads us to a few different rooms
that we're gonna see later.
And on this side, we have a really nice built-in bookshelf.
I really like the millwork here.
It's actually very simple, but executed so well.
We have wood slats that are the columns,
incorporated to the ceiling, as well as the floor.
And then we have these horizontal shelves,
your supporting beams, and that's pretty much it.
Everything is fitted really well, no trim work,
no extra notches.
And in fact, even the closed section on the bottom
are single slab doors.
No built-in handles, nothing, very clean.
And then they have all these books, vases, accessories.
Such a nice moment off of the entry.
Now, continuing this way, we have the great room.
Kitchen, formal dining, the living room,
and this entire section opens up to the backyard.
Beautiful backdrop.
I love the flow of this home.
The energy here is quite special.
And before we continue,
I wanna quickly also get the specs out of the way.
We have five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms.
Again, on the market for $7.3 million.
And I wanna give big thanks to the listing agents,
Artin and Levon, and also the developer, SLS Properties,
for doing a phenomenal job with this project.
So well-designed and curated.
He also furnished the entire house.
This is not staging.
And yeah, more information will be
in the description of this video.
Now, Armand, why don't we focus
on the kitchen for a second?
We have this oversized island.
Love the limestone countertop with waterfall edges
and this sandblasted texture, which is very natural.
And then you have your bar seating here.
Your gas cooktop is within the island.
But look at this backdrop.
The indoor garden that's behind the base cabinets.
The 24-foot skylight above bringing so much natural light.
The greenery pops so nicely
against the Shoshigiban back wall.
Isn't this amazing?
That is very unique.
It's unique, it's different,
but there's life and it feels very open.
I love this and we're gonna talk more about it.
Now, continuing this way, again, white oak cabinetry.
I really like these custom handles
that are fabricated out of the same wood.
This is where we have the paneled fridge, freezer,
additional cabinetry above.
And then we have the base cabinets here.
This is actually a two-tone kitchen,
meaning this base section here is all black
and the rest of the cabinets are dark brown.
So I like this subtle two-tone contrast.
Then we have built-in handles with grooves.
So it makes it easy to pull these drawers.
The countertop surface area here is also great
given that we don't have a back wall.
They extended it a little bit more.
And then on the back, we have this awesome indoor garden.
First off, to our right,
we have the timer to water all these plants.
Then above, we have a 24-foot skylight
bringing all this natural light.
I love the fact that they brought the shoshi giban
on the back wall here,
again, leaning into the natural materials.
And this indoor garden here diffuses the light
that comes in, absorbs the CO2 from the air.
It cleans the air and releases oxygen.
And beyond that, it also removes VOCs from furniture.
It removes paints, stains.
So it further cleanses your home.
And I just think it's a very soothing, relaxing touch.
Imagine washing your dishes here, cooking here,
getting all this natural light
and interacting with a little garden here.
I mean, how fun is this?
It looks beautiful.
And they also have outdoor lights.
Well, in this case, it's indoor lights
to highlight all these plants.
So I'm sure at night,
this section is gonna look really nice.
I would grow vegetables here.
It's actually a good idea.
You can, I mean, it's real garden with real soil.
So if you put some fertilizer,
it is actually getting enough natural light.
And especially if you have the sliding glass doors open here
there's enough airflow.
You can grow vegetables here.
That's actually a really good idea.
It's beautiful, yeah.
Yeah, it's such a nice touch.
I love this frame.
I love this detail.
We have the fabricated sink here, ton of cabinet space.
And again, on the other side,
we have the island with pit gas cooktops.
I really like this system
because not only you get this cleaner aesthetic,
it's really easy to clean when you cook here
because you have the surface area.
You know, normally you have the grill
and all those details you need to remove it, clean it.
This makes it really easy.
And I just think aesthetically, it looks so good.
Yeah.
I like the contrast.
It's also a nice contrast, absolutely.
And then we have the vent here
that pops in front of these gas cooktops
and the rest of the main floor.
All right, let's take a moment from the video.
It's a new year and I hope 2026 is going well for you.
And with a new year,
there's always a pressure to reinvent yourself.
New goals, new habits, a new version of you.
But most of the time, it doesn't last.
By February, it fades, not because you don't care,
but because you never slow down
to really understand yourself.
One of the biggest shifts for me over the last few years
was realizing that real change
doesn't come from forcing motivation.
It comes from understanding your patterns,
who you are, and why you respond to life the way you do.
Therapy gave me that space to get that clarity
and understand myself better.
And once you have that,
life becomes a lot easier to navigate.
This video is sponsored by BetterHelp.
And I think it's one of the simplest ways
to start that process.
It's an online therapy platform
that makes therapy more accessible and flexible.
You fill out a short questionnaire
and they match you with a licensed therapist,
usually within a few days.
And if it's not the right fit,
you can switch to a new therapist anytime at no extra cost.
As you guys know, I travel a lot.
My schedule is really unpredictable.
So in-person sessions aren't always realistic for me.
With BetterHelp, you can do sessions
by video, phone, or messaging,
which makes it a lot easier and more attainable.
Over 6 million people have used BetterHelp,

Again, big thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this video.
And now, back to the tour.
I also like how we have the sliding glass doors
opening up to the outdoors.
This backyard is private, zen,
and you can see all the lava rock.
And over on this side, we have the formal dining room.
Solid wood table, comfortable seating for 10.
It's a clean, functional space.
I like that the carpet defines this room,
given that the entire main floor is open.
And look at all the built-ins on the back.
Again, the same simple millwork.
Full slab cabinet fronts.
And on the bottom, we have the built-in handles
and the subtle two-tone contrast with the same limestone.
Then over here, we have the sliding glass doors
opening up to a little side yard.
Beautiful stone fire pit with these benches.
Whether it's the lava rock, the plants,
the gravel on the floor,
there's a vibe to this little outdoor seating area.
And here's something interesting.
I'm not sure if I told you this.
The property next door,
the same developer is also building this one.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, early on today, I had a chance to see that home.
It's a totally different style,
little bit bigger than this one,
but also really well-designed and curated.
I hope in the future we'll get a chance
to tour that one too.
But yeah, I mean, this is such a nice space
and I love the lava rock.
And I think these trees will grow
and provide more privacy
Of course, yeah.
I mean, they just planted those trees.
So I'm sure in the future they're gonna grow
and these trees are gonna fill in the gaps in between.
So you're not gonna be able to see the neighbor that much.
Yeah.
All right, now stepping back in,
here's something interesting.
It's a simple rustic log,
but with the metal detail
and how it contrasts in front of this plaster wall,
it's a nice design element.
It's not about what you have.
It's what you do with what you have.
And in this case,
a simple log can be such a meaningful piece
for a home like this.
Now, welcome to the living room.
I just love how open it is.
Two sets of sliding glass doors,
easy transition to the outside patio,
your above ground pool,
the retaining wall on the back with all these plants,
the lava rock, it's a vibe.
And the space is well curated.
Again, this is not staging.
The developer here purchased all these furniture pieces.
And if you wanna buy the home with the furniture,
you can certainly do that as well.
Here, we have this limestone shallow wall design
with an ethanol fireplace.
And of course, in the future, if you'd like,
this is where you would place your TV.
I just appreciate how much natural light it gets.
These linen window coverings,
gorgeous leather chairs here
with the strap detail on the back as well as the bottom.
And this natural hand-woven rug, the books, accessories.
I just like the feel of this room.
I can see all these trees and plants moving,
the breeze coming in.
I really like this home.
Now, before we leave, of course,
we gotta talk about our candle brand, Noir.
We launched our candle brand last year in August,
and we've learned so much since then.
Instead of going to a factory, mass manufacturing products,
I decided to go to a totally different route
and make the products ourselves.
We hand mix and hand pour these in Los Angeles,
and we curated each one of the scents.
We didn't go to a scent house and bought the formulation.
We made the formulation.
We wanted to make sure that we don't have any paraffins,
any petroleum byproducts in our candles.
And most importantly,
we wanted something that's truly from us to you.
And that's why we decided to make candles.
It has been a lot more difficult than I anticipated
because making a product is not easy,
whether it's your sticker, your box design,
how you are shipping it, controlling your inventory,
coming up with new scents,
and dynamically running all of these elements
have been a huge learning curve for me,
but I'm really enjoying the process
because this is something that we make for you guys,
just like our videos.
Seven years ago, I had no idea what it takes to make videos,
and here we are.
Our channel has now over 4 million subscribers,
and we go around the world to showcase the best assets.
I believe we can also do that with our candle brand, Noir.
If you haven't checked it out,
please go to our website, NoirHome.com.
We have a small vessel, big vessel,
and tester tins for you to try out our candles.
I'm working on our third scent as we speak.
Anybody that's out there running a small business,
you have my sympathy.
It is so difficult, so much work,
but it's so rewarding at the same time.
And yeah, I'm really proud of what we have created here.
Now with that, we're done with this section.
Why don't we check out the backyard?
It is such a nice day out today.
I can't believe it's only March.
It feels like summer, but with the breeze, warm weather,
this is a beautiful backyard.
Now, obviously they've really focused on darker tones here,
whether it's the dark flagstone floors,
the shoshigi ban continues underneath the section,
and then the lava rock retaining wall
and the above ground pool.
Now here's something really interesting.
We have center drains here for the patio,
but also we have drains around the perimeter.
And instead of bringing the flagstone
all the way to the sliding glass doors,
they created this little gap
as if to collect all the water.
And there are also built-in drains here,
which is an interesting touch,
but it creates some separation
between the house and the patio itself.
Here, they also focus on landscaping,
not only on the surface level,
even above the retaining wall,
outdoor seating area,
outdoor kitchen here with a grill,
and the lava rock.
It's ironic because tomorrow we're flying out to Hawaii
and this stone was also sourced from Hawaii.
I just like how it looks like coral.
So it looks organic, natural,
and it complements this darker aesthetic really well.
And it looks so nice against the greenery.
Now, stairs take you up to this elevated section
where we have the above ground pool.
Given the size of this backyard,
I feel like they've done a pretty good job
maximizing the opportunity here.
Light gray plaster,
you have the hot tub on the other side,
this mosaic tile detailing around the perimeter,
and also the flagstone goes over the pool
and covers the edge.
So it creates this more natural aesthetic.
We have these rustic stone chairs,
lounging beds on the other side,
and the hedging here will grow a little bit more
over the next few months.
And we'll end up covering up the view here
so you won't even see the neighbor.
And I wanna bring everybody up here
because we can also see the house really well.
Again, two sets of sliding glass doors, easy transition.
You can see the balcony for the primary bedroom above,
and that's where we have the primary bathroom
with a little outdoor garden as well.
It's a really nice property,
but we're actually not done with the main floor.
I told you we'll come back to this section.
Now the first space we're gonna see is the media room.
I really like the floors here.
Again, limestone installed in this flagstone pattern.
It's a regular big grab lines.
It looks natural.
And then we have the plaster walls and the ceiling here.
They brought the shishigi bond.
So there's a nice contrast, it's moody,
and they don't have any recessed in lights in this home.
Instead, they have these down lights,
which are a little bit more architectural, artistic,
and they're also directional.
So if you wanna highlight a piece of art or a portrait,
you can certainly do that with these light fixtures.
And then we have this rustic, cozy.
Let's see if it's comfortable.
Definitely comfortable, leather couch here.
And we have the frame on the other side.
That's actually a TV.
Great space, great ceiling height.
And given that the elevation of the plot drops here,
they've actually embraced it.
That's why we have a small staircase.
So it's a few steps down, hence the high ceilings here.
I also have to point out this bench with the live edge.
I love how these natural and organic pieces
made it into this home.
It looks so nicely against the plaster wall
and the limestone floors.
And here we have built-in cabinetry,
a small bar with a sink,
and a perfect picture window framing the side view.
Now, obviously you can see the neighbor here,
but in a few months,
once these hedges grow and fill in the void,
you won't be able to see the neighbors,
and you'll have this lush green backdrop for this room.
Really nice space.
And in the future, if you want,
you can turn this into a proper movie theater as well,
with some built-in seating and fabric walls.
Now, going back to the hallway.
To our left, we have the two-car garage.
Here, we have a powder room.
Same limestone floors continue,
and they also use the same chip of limestone
to fabricate the vanity here.
It looks elegant.
The window continues underneath.
So there's also light coming from this section,
oversized fixture,
and the mirror's floating right in the center
where we have the picture window.
And they also brought the shishigi barn here.
And the room smells fantastic because of the wood.
And the space is so moody.
Look, this is not a big powder room,
but they made such a good use of it,
and they made it count,
with all the surfaces, materials, details,
all the way to this clay light fixture.
It's a nice powder room.
It's beautiful.
Now, on the other side, we have the fifth guest suite.
Your only bedroom on this level,
but they staged it as an office.
Comes with two casement windows,
built-in cabinetry here.
And again, these are single slab doors,
same limestone floors.
And over on this side,
we have a full bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.
Just so I can show how spacious it is.
It's a good size shower.
Comes with a casement window here that's frosted.
And even if you open the casement here,
it's angled in a way that you will still retain your privacy
but get some natural air here.
Limestone finishes, beautiful fixtures.
And Arman, remember the property
that we toured a few weeks ago in the Olivet Hills?
Yeah, I remember.
The fixture was on the other side.
That way you can adjust the temperature.
And once you like the temperature, you can just step in.
Yeah, I think this is great.
And a beautiful handheld fixture.
Beautiful home.
And now, let's go see the second floor.
The palette of this home is so warm, inviting, and soothing.
And I just love these plaster walls.
Now, remember the light fixtures
that we talked about earlier?
These fixtures are doing a great job filling the void here.
And again, I like the fact that they're lightweight.
And Arman, here's how it works.
You see where they're mounted on the ceiling?
Inside the ceiling, there's a plastic box.
All your electrical connections come to that point.
And then you take the electrical connections
from the light fixture, you merge them with knots,
and then you put two screws to attach them to the ceiling.
Now, when you want to install heavy chandeliers,
big light fixtures, those boxes are not strong enough.
So now you need to strap your ceiling or use metal boxes
or even further support your ceiling
to accommodate heavy fixtures.
Because these are very light,
you can install them to regular light boxes.
But they look like big chandeliers.
So you get the reward of a big light fixture
with the conveniences
of a regular light fixture installation.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, totally.
So that's why it was a nice touch for this space.
Now, the same white oak hardwood floors continue,
and there's actually a small,
cozy little lounging area here.
And this property is situated in a canyon.
So we have a lot of mature trees,
cool, quirky, historic homes.
There's a lot of character in this canyon.
And today is a little bit windy,
so I'm just loving the breeze that comes into this home.
And yeah, we have a really nice lounge here.
I'm sure you can furnish it a little bit more,
possibly put a TV and light the rustic rug as well.
Now, on this level, we have four bedroom suites.
Let's quickly go through them.
Bedroom suite number one.
This one is facing the front of the home
with a window assembly and a casement.
Comes with a full bathroom as well
and gets great natural light.
Here, we have the second bedroom.
Another low profile, queen size bed,
which leaves the room a little bit more open.
Small side tables, wall-mounted light fixtures.
These rooms are designed in a really minimal way.
I also like that this is a,
I believe it's a cashmere blanket.
So it's warm, cozy, fiber rug, two casement windows.
This one's facing the side
and comes with a built-in cabinetry for your closet space.
And over on this side, we have the bathroom.
Here, they wanted to create a two-tone contrast.
So we have the black vanity here and a basalt countertop.
This is a volcanic stone,
just like the lava rock outside.
Wow.
And with this leaded finish,
so it looks a little bit more natural.
And then we have the limestone back wall
with this tactile pattern.
Really cool mirror that's backlit,
irregular lines and a built-in tub
that showcases the same dark stone
and the limestone continues on the back.
Really nice bathroom.
Now, coming back to the hallway.
To my right, we have the laundry room.
This is the third bedroom suite.
Again, the same design elements,
low profile bed, linen sheets, fiber rug,
built-in cabinets, full bathroom.
These are not the biggest bedroom suites,
but keep in mind, this is a 5,500 square foot home.
I think the developer did a great job
with the layout and the flow,
and more importantly, dedicating enough space
to each one of these rooms and furnishing it nicely
to make sure that they function really well.
Now, coming back to the hallway.
Here, we have the primary bedroom suite.
Off of the entry, we get a wet bar,
fridge, fabricated sink, upper cabinets.
And then to my left, we have the low profile king-size bed.
I just love how the upholstery and this headboard
contrasts nicely against the plaster walls.
Then we have these gorgeous bedside tables
and these stunning light fixtures.
I love the aesthetic here and these natural materials
all the way to the sheets and the pillows.
You can see the ceiling mount light fixtures.
Of course, you have your built-in speakers.
And I just realized,
we actually do have some recessed in lighting here,
but you know what's interesting about them, Erman?
They're not on the surface.
They're pushed into the ceiling.
So you have to go all the way underneath
to actually see the light fixture itself.
So they're diffusing this soft light.
You cannot see the edges of the fixture itself.
That's really cool.
Now, in case you wonder where you would put
or install your TV in this bedroom,
there's a TV connection on this corner
as well as the other side.
But if you were to ask me,
my recommendation would be is that
you shouldn't have a TV in your bedroom.
Your bedroom should be your sacred space
where you come in to rest and disconnect
from the rest of the world.
As soon as you start watching TV,
I feel like you start thinking about the outside world again
and you don't have the space
and the recovery time to yourself.
Just my two cents.
Now, I love the fact that sliding glass doors open up
and we have a balcony for the primary bedroom.
In fact, Armand, can you go backwards for a second?
Look at the view you get from your king-size bed.
Just the hillside.
No neighbors, nothing.
What a great view to wake up to every single morning.
I just love the fact that as soon as I wake up,
one of the first things I can do
is to step out to my balcony,
which features limestone floors, natural.
Breathe in this fresh canyon air.
It's fantastic.
I can barely see the neighbor to our right.
They've done a good job with the hedging here,
so I don't see the left neighbor.
And all these mature trees.
You can hear the birds.
Yeah, all day.
All day.
They also brought in the landscaping to the balcony
with this built-in planter design.
And Armand, let's get a close-up.
There's actually a drain here.
So inside the planter, they use gravel.
Obviously underneath that is the soil.
And when it rains,
you want to retain some of the moisture and the water
inside the planters.
But if the water level gets too high,
you want to make sure to control that.
That's why these drains sit a little bit
above the ground, Armand.
So that if the water level gets really high,
drain starts capturing it
and pushes down to the ground level.
That way you don't flood your planters
because eventually that water will go into your home.
You want to avoid that.
So I thought it was a nice touch.
And even here, they incorporated outdoor lighting.
At night, this home is going to be so moody,
so vibey, I can already tell.
Now, the other thing that I want to point out here
is where we have the primary bathroom.
And that's where we're going next.
I just like that the same planter goes to that side
and it creates a little outdoor garden as well.
So well-designed.
The scenery, the air, I really like this home.
All right, going back into the bedroom.
Look at this rustic stone console here.
Such a nice, natural element into this home.
And again, these kinds of properties,
curating a home like this
is all about layering the right pieces.
Plaster walls, hardwood floors,
and then a natural piece like this
with a little vase and a book,
and you get a beautiful corner.
Tastefully done.
All right, going to this side.
Pivot door opens up to the primary bathroom.
To my right, we have the water closet.
And before we check out the bathroom,
I actually want to go into the walk-in closet.
I really appreciate the creativity here,
and certainly the millwork.
This is a unique take.
And it's a Japanese-inspired millwork
where we have wood posts and then supporting beams,
and everything is so tightly fitted.
Look at the rods and how they're inserted to these posts.
And behind each one of these posts,
they also recessed in strip lighting,
which creates this moody aesthetic,
especially against your plaster walls.
And then we have these gray shelves.
And Arman, let's get a close-up.
You see how these supporting beams
sit a little bit behind the post?
So there's also a nice reveal detail.
Everything is open.
Plasterwork on the back is immaculate.
Look at the light fixture in the center.
And then here, we have the island with a glass top.
And Arman, let's show the top section.
You can slide it to each side.
Yeah, this is very nice.
This is very nice, right?
And I'll come to your side.
Look at these built-in handles.
It's the same drawer system,
but they incorporated the white oak fronts
with the custom handles.
And of course, it's also soft close.
I really like this closet.
I think they've done an exceptional job.
And I bet it costs either the same
or less than your traditional closet systems.
And it's just as functional and looks beautiful to me.
Now, going back into the primary bathroom,
dark oak vanity.
Really like the green countertop here
and the fabricated sinks.
And the green tones continue to the built-in tub
that I'm gonna talk about in a second.
Now, I actually wanna explain the difference
between a wall fixture and a countertop mount fixture.
You see some of the vanities that we see,
fixtures are mounted to the countertop,
but here they decided to mount it to the wall.
Countertop fixtures are a lot easier to install
and a lot more forgiving.
Here's how it works.
Behind the vanity, inside your wall,
you have a cold line and a hot line that comes in.
And then we have the fixture attached
to make sure that the connection points are ready
for your fixture here.
Then you use a flexible pipe
to connect the hot and cold water
and your fixture diverts the water
and gives you the temperature that you desire.
So far so good?
Yeah.
When you decide to do a wall fixture,
that means you have to install the connection points
inside the wall.
And a lot of times you need to do that
before you have your vanity in place.
So you better have your measurements,
your height, everything just right,
because there's a very likely chance
that if you're off by a quarter of an inch,
that means your sink is now not centered.
Everything will look misaligned.
So you have to really know what you're doing
and plan everything perfectly,
especially early in the design
to make sure your fixture has to drain perfectly.
It's a lot more expensive to do a wall fixture
and a lot more labor intensive.
The other one, you just connect it at the end.
So if your water lines were two, three inches to the right,
it doesn't matter because they're all hidden
underneath the sink.
And because of the flexible pipes,
you will center it back to the sink again.
So this is a lot more labor intensive.
Yes, definitely.
A lot more, a lot more risky,
unless you really have done this a couple of times.
Then you'll nail all the details
and make sure that your sink hits the drain perfectly.
Everything is nicely aligned.
Looks great.
Plumbing 101.
All right, next up, this built-in tub.
First off, I love the glazed tiling here.
The green and brown tones, it looks so natural.
And then we have a proper sliding glass window here,
opening up to the little garden that's actually covered.
So you have this portal, private space, the hillside.
So this entire thing is custom built here, waterproof.
And I also like that there's an angle on the back
because they wanted you to just sit down,
enjoy, look at your garden,
appreciate this fresh air that comes in
and relax in this bathroom.
This is so tasteful
and you can definitely fit a few people here.
Now, on the other side, we have the walk-in shower.
Just as impressive, if not more impressive.
First off, it's spacious.
I really like the light fixtures here,
additional lights above.
And then we have the skylight,
pouring in natural light into the space.
And given that these are glazed tiles, they reflect light.
So there's movement, there's contrast in this space.
And these are hand-pressed tiles,
which means they're not perfect.
They're irregular, they provide ton of character,
feel great underneath your feet.
We have two handheld fixtures, shower heads,
fantastic shower.
And I like that it's also glass-enclosed,
so you still see your shower.
Very impressed with this home.
All right, that's it for the tour.
