THE BONSAI A refined single-story interpretation of California mid-century modernism, The Bonsai is a fully reimagined four-bedroom, three-bath view property in Woodland Hills coveted Carlton Terrace. Defined by strong architectural lines, natural materials, and custom picture windows, the home balances mid-century sensibility with contemporary craftsmanship. A dramatic seven-foot picture window defines the front entry, creating a direct visual connection between architecture and landscape. Remodeled down to the studs, the residence pairs limewashed walls, natural stone, walnut-toned cabinetry, white oak millwork, and bricked travertine with custom picture windows framing 180-degree, unobstructed city views. The spacious primary suite features extensive custom cabinetry, a large walk-in closet, and a quiet, considered material palette. Outside, Corten steel gates, breeze-block detailing, smooth stucco, sand-finished concrete, and sculptural landscaping establish a distinctly mid-century arrival. A custom aluminum pergola, built-in BBQ, fire and conversation pit, and water feature extend the living spaces outdoors. The Bonsai is a study in materiality and indoor-outdoor living, with a subtle Japanese influence woven into its architectural language.
