Nestled in the forests of Karuizawa, Japan, the Shinrin-Yoku House (“Forest Bathing House”) is a private home inspired by nature as muse, blurring the lines between architecture and landscape.

Rooted in both Japanese and California traditions, the home embodies crafted simplicity, where every material and junction is quietly precise.

A heartfelt thank you to our friends at Luxe Magazine and Jill Cohen for sharing our special hillside home within this month’s issue.

It is wonderful to immerse oneself and consider what it means to translate modern Californian design sensibilities to a context and culture different than your own.

Our journey begins with the vision of the natural site and landscape as a forest retreat, where architecture
and garden weave together to create a sanctuary of renewal.

Inspired by the practice of forest bathing, the design offers spaces
to reset mood and spirit—immersed in shifting light, rustling leaves,
and the subtle fragrance of the earth. 🌳 🌏

Retired tennis star Maria Sharapova is listing her Los Angeles-area home for $24.995 million.

The home—which has ocean views but no tennis court—is located in Manhattan Beach, Calif., about 20 miles southwest of downtown L.A., said listing agent Susân Perryman of Carolwood Estates.

Russia-born Sharapova, 38, and her fiancé, British businessman Alexander Gilkes, are selling because they plan to spend more time in Europe with family, according to Perryman, who said they also own a house in Florida.

The five-time Grand Slam winner bought the ocean-view lot for $4.1 million in 2012, according to property records. She commissioned Los Angeles-based KAA Design to custom-build the house, which was completed in 2015, said Perryman.

Inside, the house has a double-height entry gallery with concrete walls. There are two bowling lanes adjacent to the media room. In the living room, Sharapova likes to read on a built-in bench jutting out over the pool, according to Perryman.

Outside, the property has a fireplace and walls of greenery for privacy.
