"Captivating." "Visually stunning." "A triumph." Accolades that could perfectly describe a cinematic work of art can also be used to define this home, which features soaring 18 ft ceilings and room-scaled skylights, that draw the heavens deep into the dwelling, and the inspiration behind the name TRAGALUZ. An exceptional presentation of light & space, reminiscent of the work by renowned installation artist, James Turrell, this 2 bed + 2.5 bath townhouse style condominium has served as the beloved pied-a-terre of internationally acclaimed & award-winning Spanish cinematographer, Javier Aguirresarobe, for the past 14 years. Originally from the Basque Country, Aguirresarobe garnered global recognition for his work on "The Others" by Alejandro Amenabar, "Talk to Her" by Pedro Almodovar, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and "Blue Jasmine" by Woody Allen, "Thor: Ragnarok" by Taika Waititi, and The "Twilight" Saga, among many others. This 3-story residence is one of only 15 units housed within "Habitat 15," an iconic landmark conceived and created by visionary architects, Hadrian Predock & John Frane. Situated on the very top floor with exterior west-facing tree-top views, TRAGALUZ has been blessed with one of the most privileged positions and floor plans in the entire building. Erected as a new construction in 2009 and winner of an AIA Design Honor Award, Habitat 15 encapsulates architectural design and modern urban living, right at the crossroads where Hollywood & West Hollywood meet. The distinctive facade of Habitat 15 showcases 27 windows of varying sizes, strategically arranged across its 80-foot expanse, to mimic a colossal wall of flat-panel TV screens: an ingenious nod to Tinseltown. Fifteen 2-bedroom homes of two or three levels spread across two parallel blocks, separated physically by an interior court of trees - visually by a bamboo screen - and linked by steel pedestrian bridges. Property comes with two ample side-by-side designated parking spots, as well as additional storage, in the private and secured subterranean garage. Sited on a wide and peaceful street, yet conveniently located just around the corner from the Will & Ariel Durant Branch Library, Ralph's, In-N-Out Burger, Otus Thai Kitchen & Coffee, Cannabis Cafe, The Formosa Cafe, and Trader Joe's. Make this home yours!
