The Hidden Speakeasy in This 'California Meets Japan' Style Home Is Inspired by a Bar in Tokyo

The exterior of a California desert house featuring a pool terrace and serene plant surroundings.

Created as the ultimate escape for a young family who split their time between several other locations in the United States – Washington, Idaho, and Hawaii – this contemporary Californian retreat offers its owners spectacular mountain views and dramatic sunsets.

The single-story house sprawls seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, all arranged around a utopic courtyard that connects the different elements of the house. At the center of the courtyard is a water feature with stepping stones crossing to the different wings of the house, lacing a canopy of zen across the property.
