Iconic landmark live/work residence developed by legendary Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry in collaboration with renowned Los Angeles artist Charles Arnoldi. This is Residence 2, the stunning Southwest front-facing corner unit with 2,565 SF and considered the most desirable in the building. Currently curated as an art gallery and private residence, this versatile property offers the ultimate flexibility for any live, work or creative concept. Exceptional design with the utmost attention to detail is showcased through large scale open living spaces, double-height 17 ft ceilings, oversized gallery walls perfect for artwork and a sleek minimalist aesthetic throughout. Industrial-scale windows and oversized skylights flood the interior with natural light and beautiful panoramic views while enhancing Gehry's signature material palette. The dramatic entry great room showcases soaring two-story ceilings, concrete floors, a private office/bedroom with full bath and bonus mezzanine level above. The middle level features a bright open floor plan with living room, dining space and custom kitchen designed with beautiful floors, millwork, concrete countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The entire upper floor serves as the primary suite with panoramic city and ocean views, large walk-in closet and full spa-like bath with honed marble slabs and high-end European hardware. Gated and secure underground parking garage with two side by side spaces, storage and two guest spaces. Part of a boutique six-unit complex that stands as a testament to the creative partnership between two of California's most celebrated artistic figures. Residence 2 was selected by the artist and developer himself as his personal studio space. A one of a kind architectural marvel and an incredibly rare offering in the heart of Santa Monica.
