"Originally constructed in 1960, the Ajioka House captures the essence of Southern California 's postwar modernist movement - a period defined by clean lines, open layouts, and seamless integration with nature. Designed by the celebrated architectural firm Buff & Hensman, known for their contributions to the Case Study Houses and mid-century icons across Los Angeles, the property remains a testament to timeless design. Situated on nearly an acre of lush hillside, the residence offers privacy without isolation - a key feature of Hollywood Hills living."
"In recent years, the Ajioka House underwent a comprehensive restoration led by Commune Design, the renowned Los Angeles-based studio celebrated for its sensitive approach to modernist preservation. Commune's work - which often blurs the line between architecture, art, and craftsmanship - ensured that every original Buff & Hensman detail was respected while subtly updating the home for contemporary living. The result is a space that feels both lived-in and curated."
The Ajioka House sits above Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills and is listed for $9,995,000. The 1960 Buff & Hensman-designed residence exemplifies Southern California postwar modernism with clean lines, open layouts, and seamless integration with nature. The property occupies nearly an acre of lush hillside and offers privacy without isolation through a low-slung profile and expansive glass walls that invite sunlight, shadow, and greenery. Commune Design led a comprehensive restoration that respected original Buff & Hensman details while updating the home for contemporary living. The result feels both lived-in and curated. Original post-and-beam construction remains intact.
