A modern architectural masterpiece featured in the NY Times, Dwell and AW, 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

Hosts were incredibly welcoming and informative with quick communication. The house is absolutely gorgeous! The views were incredible. Would most definitely stay at the Bernardi House again and again! Thank you so much for the hospitality
What an amazing space. Fantastic location, plenty of space, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, espresso and coffee machines. Hot tub was easy to operate and HOT. We did not heat the pool and it functioned as an amazing cold plunge!
I had the most incredible stay at the Bernardi House, I already can't wait to come back for another stay and bring my girlfriends. This house is so incredibly decorated, more than photos are able to capture, and the ultimate relaxing place to enjoy a book by the pool, walk to Sunset Junction for a coffee, and just enjoy Silverlake. Thank you to the hosts for such great communication and local recommendations!
