This House Is Basically A Swedish Forest Spa

This Fryman Estate is something else. It’s tucked away in Fryman Canyon, which is a pretty exclusive part of Los Angeles. Studio Rob Diaz designed it, and it really feels like it grew out of the landscape. They used wire-brushed cedar all over, and it just blends perfectly with the redwoods and hills around it. The whole place has this calm, sculptural vibe that I just love.

Details

This estate really redefines California living. Inside, you’ve got these amazing 30-foot ceilings with custom Belgian oak floors, hand-finished paneling, titanium travertine, and copper accents. It all feels so warm and well put together. The house is laid out really thoughtfully, with seven bedroom suites and eleven bathrooms spread across different sections, so there’s a nice balance between spaciousness and coziness. The pool area is like a resort, with meadows and limestone decking. There are also two cool limestone pavilions at the back – one is a wellness area with a spa, cold plunge, sauna, and massage suite, and the other is a top-notch fitness studio. Between them, there’s an outdoor kitchen and dining space that’s perfect for entertaining. Plus, the upper decks offer incredible views of the natural surroundings. It’s a really bold statement of design and lifestyle.
