Bel Air, California
Elevator Boutique installed a 3-level A Series home elevator in this new Bel Air estate, listed at $49,995,000. Dark, reflective cabin walls stand apart from the pale stone and oak of the house, so the ride feels like its own room.
The home sits on just over an acre, with about 18,000 sq ft of living space, six bedrooms and ten bathrooms across three stories. Canyon, city, ocean and mountain views run through the house, and the program includes a home theater, gym and sauna. In a house this size, an elevator is how the top floor stays part of daily life.
The estate
Mike Khalesi of Beverly Hills One designed the house, and Sharon Ohana of CDH Builders built it. Long terraces step out to the pool, and the hillside rises straight up behind it.
The cabin
Most of this house is pale: travertine-toned stone, white plaster, oak shelving. The cabin goes the other way. Its dark walls and ceiling pick up the LED spots overhead and reflect them back, so a small room feels deeper than it is.
A slim control panel and a single stainless handrail are the only details on the walls. When the doors slide open, the pale hallway and oak door beyond come into view.
The house stays quiet. The elevator gets to be the surprise.
The fit
Every Elevator Boutique elevator is made to measure. The hoistway was planned with the build, to our engineering drawings, so the elevator became part of the architecture.
Inside the home
The curved stair is the showpiece of the main level, rising through a double-height wall of glass. The elevator takes care of the everyday trips, from the bedrooms to the pool and back.
A dark cabin inside a pale house gives the ride its own character.
One control panel and one handrail keep the cabin calm.
Three stops keep all three stories of the house easy to use.
