Sharp looks, and views to the sea
Julius Shulman made a career of photographing some of the most architecturally interesting houses in Los Angeles. At 94, he’s still at it, this time taking pictures of a newly built Pacific Palisades home that earned a design award in 2004 from the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
Hill House, a creation of L.A. architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee, is reminiscent of Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House No. 22, which Shulman also photographed.

Pacific Palisades house -- The photographs that ran with the Feb. 20 Home of the Week on Hill House in Pacific Palisades were credited to Julius Shulman. They were taken by Shulman and Juergen Nogai.
Shulman remembers the 1959 Case Study house, with its walls of glass and its location, perched on a hill above Sunset Boulevard. “This house is better, much better,” he said.
Two glass walls slide back to bring in the outdoors and reveal views from Sullivan Canyon to the Palos Verdes Peninsula. A so-called floating staircase leads to a gallery/library, a mezzanine study, a den and a guest bedroom. The den can serve as an additional bedroom. On the lower level are a sunroom and the master bedroom.
