PALMS HOUSE I & II: An Award-Winning Architectural Compound in Venice | 825 Palms Blvd.

Welcome to Palms House I and II. Part architectural manifesto and part luxurious retreat, this multiple award–winning compound offers three distinct living structures that come together in a studied collision of complementary materials, think hard against soft and opaque against transparent, yielding a calm yet mighty expression of West Coast modernism.

825 Palms Blvd
Venice, CA 90291

$9,980,000 | 7 Beds | 7 Baths | 5,800 Sq. Ft. | $1,721 Price/Sq.Ft. | 10,746 Sq. Ft. Lot | Built in 2021

At 825 Palms Boulevard in Venice, sunlight is treated as a primary material, pouring through angular apertures and expansive planes of glass, while a glistening and lengthy pool anchors the compound’s composition, serving as a central link between the structures rather than a simple amenity. The result is a luxurious yet relaxed modernism: rigorous, playful, and quietly radical.

This expansive property was extensively featured in the May 2022 issue of Architectural Digest. That publication called the homes a triumph of creative design by renowned architect Kevin Daly, who envisioned the property as a multi-generational or arts colony-esque estate for a contemporary and creative lifestyle.

Featuring three distinct residences, the property is designed to offer a rare degree of privacy between each, creating an ideal setting for a richly layered Los Angeles life. The compound lends itself naturally to artist studios, writing rooms, collaborative workspaces, or intimate retreats, all set within lush natural surroundings and just a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Abbot Kinney Boulevard.

The main house, designated as Palms II, was completed in 2021 and features warm wood and screen elements set on a concrete base, with expansive glass that opens sight lines across the property.

With over 3400 square feet of living space including four bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, details include soaring ceilings, multiple stylish fireplaces, custom wood cabinetry, unique built-ins, polished concrete floors with radiant heating, and a true indoor/outdoor kitchen.

The heart of the main house is the living room, anchored by a gas fireplace with mid-century modern inspiration, walls of glass, and seamless access to both the kitchen and outdoor spaces. The result is a setting that feels equally inviting for intimate evenings and uplifting for entertaining.

The primary bedroom has soaring cathedral-like wood beamed ceilings, uniquely shaped skylights, brilliant natural light, and several sitting areas.

Its ensuite bath is absolutely massive, yet refined, with a royal green floating double vanity, a relaxing soaking tub, and a steam shower with bench seating for two.

The main house’s three additional bedrooms may be slightly smaller in scale but they are no less grandiose with their own natural wood beamed ceilings, skylights, and built-in workspaces.

Each of the bedrooms have their own ensuite baths.

While a second family den, with an attached powder room, offers a cozy space to enjoy a movie, and has wonderful built-in bookshelves and storage.

The main house also offers multiple al fresco balconies and terraces, many with lush treetop views and raised garden beds with drought-tolerant landscaping.

The second house, known as Palms I, was completed by the architect in 2010.

The three bedroom, three bathroom home was carefully designed to frame the views of trees and sky through folding, perforated metal screens that wrap the base of the structure.

There are glass sliders, and then there are glass sliders. These are made to extend the entire length of the indoor living room into the outdoors. Further details include soaring ceilings, open dining room, radiant floor heating, and an eat-in kitchen with gorgeous custom cabinetry and its own outdoor dining patio.

This outdoor dining patio also acts as a central courtyard and comes complete with a living plant wall designed by Big Red Sun.

The three bedrooms have private balconies.

And lovely, yet simplified ensuite bathrooms.

Some of which have their own attached balconies which are perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun.

Completing this amazing triptych of homes, the ideally positioned guesthouse was conceived as a refined and complimentary 400-square-foot studio, offering beautifully appointed living and sleeping quarters with a full bath, dual-sided fireplace, in-floor heating, and a private entrance and deck.

The outdoor courtyard is the ultimate private gathering venue between the three homes. It features no less than three outdoor fireplaces, a sport court with NBA regulation hoop, outdoor shower, beautifully landscaped gardens, and the incredible pool with a retractable cover.

This one-of-a-kind compound has parking for eight cars (four for each home and each with electric chargers) and a state-of-the-art security system.

Conceived and constructed over the course of a decade, this extraordinary compound stands as a singular architectural achievement, offering rare privacy, inspired design, and the flexibility to become a truly generative creative retreat. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, a multi-generational residence, or a dynamic live-work environment, the property invites its next steward to experience the architecture firsthand and unlock its full potential. This is a rare opportunity to inhabit, activate, and evolve a work of enduring West Coast modernism.
