Property Description

Located in the heart of West LA, the Earthquake House is a modern industrial loft-style residence by award-winning architect David Ming Li. Named for its innovative structural system, the home is supported on visco-damper base isolators designed to protect it from earthquakes, making it both an architectural masterpiece and a rare find. Upon entering, soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and open-concept living fill the space with natural light and inspiration, complemented by steel as the primary structural framework. The home also incorporates distinctive materials, including galvanized sheet-metal refrigeration panels and translucent Kalwall sheeting. The three-story residence offers a light-filled, private, and highly creative living environment. The kitchen and dining area feature ample storage, stainless steel appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The spacious primary suite showcases wood beams, exposed ironwork, and a meticulously designed bathroom with a floating dual vanity and large frameless glass shower, along with a massive walk-in closet with extensive built-ins. Two additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms reflect the same industrial character carried throughout the home. An additional upstairs living area provides flexible space for intimate gatherings, an office, or art studio, and includes a dedicated office nook. The private yard features a wooden deck and teahouse, while the home itself is set back from the street for added privacy. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with 14-foot ceilings and an industrial roll-up door, a basement, solar panels, and generous storage. A truly one-of-a-kind property, the Earthquake House is a creative's dream, ideally located near Sawtelle, the beach, and everything the city has to offer.
