Jacaranda House

This single-level architectural home sits in Venice, where clerestory windows and skylights wash the interior in natural light, rising to a 14-foot living room ceiling. Designed by Maya Sahafi, the 2,014-square-foot home holds four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms across two separate wings, with elegant industrial finishes that have been widely imitated but remain, here, a Venice original. A mature jacaranda tree shades the outdoor entertaining space, lending the home its name. A 12-foot operable wall of glass connects the black-cabinetry kitchen, live-edge dining table, and living room to the outdoor entertaining areas, where horigotatsu-style dining, a fire-pit lounge, and an outdoor kitchen with a copper Kamado cooker sit beneath the jacaranda's canopy. The primary suite is set apart from the rest of the home, with a glass-enclosed steam shower, dual rain shower heads, and a freestanding soaking tub, plus a glass curtain wall opening to a private deck and hot tub.
