Three-level home, built atop rock, extends from Hollywood hillside

The house was built on top of rock, which was left exposed to give the impression that the house is part of the hillside.

A chandelier-art piece, titled “LoveCraft,” by Los Angeles artist Eddy Sykes hangs in a stairwell.

A Boffi designed “chef-driven” kitchen, is on the main, third level of the Hollywood Hills home.

A vase of godetias, also known as farewell-to-spring flowers, adorns the stainless steel countertop. Ana Henton bought them on one of her weekly trips to the L.A. Flower Market in downtown Los Angeles.

Pottery by Adam Silverman rests on a shelf in the Boffi-designed kitchen.

A clutter-free shelf in the living room includes a record player and books.

A painting by architect Ana Henton, titled “Backyard in Blue” serves as a centerpiece in her Hollywood Hills living room.

Architect Ana Henton wanted the hillside and grass visible from the master bathroom, giving the home a sense of being carved from the hill.

The master bedroom offers views of the Pacific on a clear day.

A desk from HD Buttercup, in the office and third bedroom, is located on the first level of the three-level Hollywood Hills home.

Each level of the house has ample outdoor space, including this patio outside of the kitchen.

The three-level home offers an expansive view of the Los Angeles Basin. Here, the view looks out over the guest room patio.

A deck outside the second bedroom on the second level looks west toward the Pacific.

In building her 9-foot concrete retaining walls, architect Ana Henton created spaces for planters as well as sitting, with fig vines that will eventually cover the walls.

Architect Ana Henton wanted to have unique water features in her backyard, but on a budget. She received assistance from James Woodard of the Sea Store, who advised her on how to create these planter box fountains.
