Michael 1822 is a high-end custom single-family residence in Pacific Palisades, designed as a contemporary hillside home with a strong emphasis on clean geometry, natural light, and indoor-outdoor living. The architecture combines light stone and stucco volumes with warm vertical wood cladding, dark metal detailing, and expansive glazing to create a refined and modern material palette. The spatial concept organizes the residence across the sloping site, using terraces, broad overhangs, and large openings to frame views while maintaining privacy from the street. A key challenge was integrating a substantial family program into the hillside condition while keeping the massing visually balanced and connected to the landscape. The result is a sophisticated Pacific Palisades residence that feels open, warm, and carefully adapted to its site.
