About this property
The Bernardi House
BRAND NEW LISTING - A modern architectural masterpiece featured in the NY Times, The Bernardi House, designed by Fritz Haeg, garners the greatest view in all of L.A. Perched on a private Silver Lake hillside, each room is a wonder unto itself with panoramic views of the Hollywood sign & Griffith Park Observatory. Blocks away from Sunset Junction and hike to the reservoir, Haeg integrates the outdoors with the indoors throughout the rocket-like structure leading to a one of kind pool & hot tub.

(The Screening Room can double as a 3rd bedroom with two "foot to foot" queen beds as part of the built in semi circle sofa.)
Originally built as a Spanish style duplex in 1917, film executive David Bernardi purchased the duplex in 2003 and commissioned artist, designer, architect, and unconventional environmental activist Fritz Haeg to reinvent the structure. Bernardi was inspired by modern work but was looking for "somebody capable of making something new." Haeg was an accomplished artist whose work spanned a range of disciplines and media including gardens, dance, performance, design, installation, and ecology.
The renovation was completed in 2008 (refurbished in 2025) revealing Haeg's indoor/outdoor design integrating the adjoining Hollywood Hills landscape. Each of the three stories are treated with bright and vibrant paint colors that transition downstairs in muted tones creating a calm and grounded atmosphere. Emerging organically from the walls, built-in seating throughout appears as natural rock formations while peering through circle windows into the solarium. The exterior elevation features a rocket-like silhouette with wood siding and a stucco facade which contains mica dust sparkles that glisten when viewed from different angles.
“I wanted to blend everything together, so you can’t tell what’s old and what’s new, what’s the house and what’s the landscape.” – Fritz Haeg
“It’s as if Mr. Haeg took the whole history of Los Angeles, the Spanish and the modern, and synthesized it into one gluey, seamless experience.” – The New York Times
While one designated parking spot is available to guests, there is always free street parking available.
