Description

A Fire-Conscious Architectural Estate — Hollywood Hills

Perched in the prestigious Outpost Estates, The Forge introduces a new category of Los Angeles luxury-where architectural integrity, material permanence, and modern resilience converge.

Conceived as a study in quiet luxury, The Forge is an architecturally significant new construction designed for the most discerning buyer. Set on an expansive, mostly flat 11,500-square-foot lot, the residence captures sweeping city views while maintaining a rare sense of privacy and calm. Anchored directly into bedrock and supported by deep steel-and-concrete caissons, the home reflects a level of engineering and permanence rarely seen in residential construction. Its design is rooted in fire-conscious philosophy, positioning The Forge as a forward-thinking standard for the next generation of luxury development.

The exterior is defined by a bold yet refined material palette board-formed concrete, blackened steel, and charred wood creating a striking architectural presence that feels both grounded and enduring. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and intention: a floating steel and walnut staircase, expansive floor-to-ceiling doors, radiant heated floors, and richly detailed wood paneling create a seamless dialogue between structure and livability. Three en-suite bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned in private zones throughout the home, offering both separation and serenity. The living spaces extend outward to an infinity-edge pool and spa, where panoramic views meet a quiet, elevated atmosphere.

Interiors by Studio Balestra further refine the home's vision-layering texture, tone, and proportion into a cohesive living experience that is both sophisticated and understated. Built by Maassen Development, The Forge is more than a residence it is a statement of Los Angeles luxury evolution.
