The city of Los Angeles is the magnificent vista in this Hollywood Hills house. While the windows wrap the whole living room, this is understandable. The rest of the house is also a mix of punched openings and other full-height glazing. In each case the choice is appropriate to the view and varying levels of privacy. Here the low ceiling of the living room reinforces the horizon and the expanse of LA.

Technology is progressing at a pretty rapid rate. One promising product is the MusicLites light bulb speaker. Developed in partnership with Sylvania, these bulbs look like the kind used in overhead can lighting. Just screw them in and sync with a transmitter that plugs into a computer, stereo or mobile device. The sound plays through the lightbulbs, wherever they are in the house. It's a great concept, but there are a few drawbacks to this product in its first incarnation. The bulb looks slightly different than traditional can light bulbs, and doesn't dim in concert with the rest of the lights in the room when controlled through a wall dimmer. It can dim when using the MusicLites remote control, but it doesn't match up perfectly with the lighting level elsewhere. I had trouble syncing the system when I tried it at home. It's a great idea but not quite ready for the mass market. Audio companies know that consumers want wireless products and are developing them as quickly as possible. But achieving a quality product is a lot more difficult than we'd like. As one loudspeaker manufacturer once told me: If wireless worked well, there would be no wired products.

Amazing panoramic views of the urban plain are the result of the architect's plan. Here we are in the middle, transparent floor, where butt-glazed glass on the left and a sliding glass wall on the right provide indoor and outdoor enjoyment of this L.A. experience.

SpaceArchitect Arthur Erickson once said, “Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.”Too often in our culture, a great space is equated with high volume — meaning tall ceilings make great architecture. That is not necessarily true. This living room has a lower ceiling height. The floor-to-ceiling glass extends the height and opens the space to the extraordinary views. The interior space is uncluttered, and the room is decorated by the view.
