Designer French Regency Estate Above the Sunset Strip | 1364 Londonderry Place

Restoring historic and often architecturally significant homes in Los Angeles is always a balancing act, one that seeks to preserve the elegance of Hollywood’s historic architectural lineage while infusing it with a modern sensibility attuned to contemporary life. Few studios have mastered the balance of reinvention and preservation as deftly as Studio OSKLO, whose recent transformation of a French Regency estate in the Hollywood Hills right above the Sunset Strip demonstrates how history can be both honored and reinterpreted.

1364 Londonderry Place
Los Angeles, CA 90069

$5,995,000 | 4 Beds | 5 Baths | 4,178 Sq. Ft. | $1,435 Price/Sq.Ft. | 9,991 Sq. Ft. Lot | Built in 1948

Originally conceived in the post-war French Regency tradition, 1364 Londonderry Place carries all the hallmarks of the style: symmetrical massing, classical proportions, and a formal sense of approach. Studio OSKLO has retained this architectural DNA while opening the interiors to light and movement, creating a residence that feels both rooted in history and attuned to contemporary life.

The French Regency style, though less common in Southern California than its Spanish or Mediterranean counterparts, has long appealed to Hollywood’s playful eye for theatricality. With its symmetrical proportions, refined silhouettes, and classical references softened by a touch of whimsy, Regency architecture offered an ideal canvas for estates that aspired to both grandeur and charm. 1364 Londonberry Place bears the composure and symmetry that define the genre.

The home spans nearly 4,200 square feet and sits on a nearly flat 10,000-square-foot lot, fully gated and secured.

In keeping with the Regency ethos of graceful landscapes integrated with architecture, the grounds unfold with a sense of measured drama: a broad grassy lawn, a pool that mirrors the geometry of the house, sculptural water features, and views that carry outward across Los Angeles, glowing with city lights at night.

Inside, a lovely dining room, a kitchen designed as both workspace and gathering space, and a glass-wrapped parlor bar articulate a sequence of interiors that can shift effortlessly between intimate, casual living and grand entertaining.

There’s something special about the home’s brilliant natural light.

The sunlight cuts through the custom steel doors and windows, creating luminous interiors where indoor and outdoor spaces dissolve into one another.

Each of the four bedroom suites has been treated as a distinct composition, yet together they maintain a cohesive thread of understated elegance.

Even in the home’s five full bathrooms the palette is restrained yet rich, polished yet approachable, proving that luxury can be conveyed through craftsmanship rather than embellishment.

It is simply a masterclass in restoration. What might have remained a relic of Hollywood’s architectural past now emerges as an open dialogue between eras.  The estate embodies not just the city’s capacity for reinvention but its ongoing negotiation between reverence and possibility.

The grounds perfectly reflect the French Regency ideals of architectural symmetry married to landscape design.

A broad grassy lawn is punctuated by a pool whose geometry mirrors the house itself. Water features add movement, while sweeping vistas culminate in stunning views of Los Angeles. At night, the city’s lights extend the home’s drama outward, blurring the boundary between this wonderful estate and the Los Angeles metropolis below.

The result is a redefinition of French Regency architecture for Los Angeles today: a residence that honors tradition while embracing the cool, curated confidence of modern design.
