Project details:
At 2500 feet above sea level this is one of the highest homes in the Santa Monica Mountains. Originally built as a telecommunications tower connecting Los Angeles to the rest of the country, the building has been renovated into a home with 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, the surrounding canyons and mountains and Downtown Los Angeles.

This building originally carried switching equipment for long distance phone calls, and later television signals, as a node in the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company (later AT&T) network that spanned the length and breadth of the entire USA. Government-built in 1972 then abandoned, renovation has recently transformed it into a residence and event space. The essential character of the main equipment building, with its 36” thick concrete walls, is preserved as a single open space (volume +_ 2000 square feet) with fifteen-foot-tall ceilings, a mechanical and structural spine, museum quality track lighting and inventive shading devices. A central sunken courtyard area features a pond and ‘garden of the four elements’ open entirely to the sky by means of an innovative accordion skylight, whose infinity edge frame creates a Turrell-inspired view of sky and tower.

Adjacent to the building in a five level 75 foot tall steel and concrete tower that still holds the four original microwave horn antennae, an integral part of the line-of-sight wireless conduit which facilitated communication through the mountains. Views from the tower and building encompass a 360-degree view of the ocean, basin, valley and layers of mountain ranges.

We’ve trusted Gleicher Associates with multiple renovation and addition projects on our home for more than 10 years, and they continue to exceed expectations. Their attention to detail is exceptional, from major structural work to the smallest finishes.

We had a great experience working with Gleicher & Associates.

Six years ago we lost our home in the Woolsey fire. It was the most devastating thing we had ever experienced. One of the first things we did is meet with Bert, he was knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful. We knew right away that we would be able to work with Bert, that he would look out for us and be honest and fair. Bert’s team of experienced sub contractors were always on time, answered all of our questions, worked with our limited budget and never once let us down. We lost everything in that fire but Gleicher Associates gave us a beautiful new home where we were able to create new memories. We will be forever grateful. – The Buckley family
