Venice Beach's TriBeCa Loft. Born from a shuttered sushi restaurant and a forgotten office building in two Abbot Kinney era brick buildings, this three-bedroom,... two-bathroom home spans 4,100+ square feet of combined indoor-outdoor space. The live/work compound was reimagined by acclaimed Venice architects Yo Hakimori and Kulapat Yantrasast and featured in The New York Times. The property sits in the heart of Venice, an oasis of calm in the midst of a dynamic community. Soaring brick walls, exposed wood beam ceilings, and polished concrete floors carry the bones of the building's industrial past into a present that feels equal parts gallery, studio, and home. The sunlit great room houses the open living room, dining room, and kitchen which doubles as a performance stage equipped with piano, guitars, and a state-of-the-art sound system. A built-in vinyl library lines one wall, a nod to the home's musical soul. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with walnut cabinetry and a suite of luxury appliances by Miele. Walls of Fleetwood glass open wide to an enclosed courtyard built for gathering lap pool, spa, firepit, grill and outdoor shower of board-formed concrete and framed by a unique brick gabion wall woven with climbing vines, part architecture and part art. A dramatic steel and glass atrium staircase weaves the two structures together, leading up to a sanctuary-like primary suite complete with its own private rooftop solarium garden. Above it all, a massive Ipe wood rooftop deck, surrounded by tall Ficus trees, opens to ocean views and has hosted everything from sunrise coffee to live sets from touring musicians. Two private garage spaces plus additional rear guest parking are available. A home for the artist, the musician, the collector, the creative soul who can turn a room into a story. Steps away from the acclaimed restaurants of Abbot Kinney like RVR, Felix, Gjelina, the famous Venice boardwalk and the surf and sand beckon. A space that has to be experienced to be believed.
