Housed in a colourful artist’s compound in Glendale, Los Angeles, this zen loft space provides the perfect setting to let your creative side run free. With its jungle of houseplants, funky artwork lining its walls, soft lighting and beamed ceilings, there’s a feeling of serenity the moment you walk through the door. We love how the open-plan space has cleverly been separated into distinct areas using curio-laden shelves, drawing your eyes to a constant carousel of beautiful artefacts and objects of virtu that the host has collected on his many travels. Thinking outside the box will come easily here with an office room equipped with a large desk and chair, as well as a glass sketching wall to help you brainstorm your ideas and storyboard that next blockbuster hit. The piece de resistance, however, has to be the ginormous 8'x10' bed with its bespoke painted base and green-shag cover that looks like a cloud of soft grass. When you’re not letting inspiration take hold in your artist’s loft space, chilling out to some tunes on the Bose sound system or firing up the barbecue in the shared garden for alfresco feasts, go out and explore your surroundings. There’s a plethora of coffee shops and eateries right around the corner to fuel those late-night creative sessions, while the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Boulevard are both less than a fifteen-minute drive away.
