Joseph Spierer Architects has long been inspired by Southern California’s year-round sunshine and cinematic landscapes. Known for designing everything from butterfly-roofed contemporary coastal retreats to Cape Cod traditionals, the Redondo Beach–based firm has brought a fresh, modern spin to classic Spanish design in one of their latest creations completed in 2024 and brought to market in guard-gated Ridgeview Country Estates. Set minutes from Malibu’s beaches and the upscale amenities of Palisades Village, the community was recently tested by last year's devastating wildfires, making the home’s sense of refuge all the more meaningful.
The 6,230-square-foot Spanish Contemporary masterpiece—conceived in collaboration with Lindsey Miller Interiors—celebrates light, color, and connection. A soaring 19-foot entryway opens to airy, open-concept living spaces that maintain an ongoing dialogue with the surrounding 1.3-acre landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows blur the line between indoors and out, framing mountain views and flooding the interiors with natural light. Spierer’s hallmark indoor-outdoor flow invites the easy rhythm of Southern California living: The kitchen and living spaces connect seamlessly to outdoor areas for entertaining, from a courtyard to multiple patios.
Miller's bold, maximalist-inspired interiors veer towards whimsical drama at times—like the jungle-inspired wallpaper in the powder room, vibrant banquette upholstery in the kitchen, a lacquered Kelly green bar. These details give the home an expressive, curated character—a striking departure from the neutral palettes typical of most spec builds.
The chef’s kitchen is a statement, anchored by a La Cornue and Bluestar range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and honed Calacatta quartz countertops. The home offers five bedrooms and six bathrooms, including four ensuites.
The primary suite is a retreat in its own right, with a fireplace, sweeping mountain views, and a concealed safe room. Additional highlights include a study/library, a custom bar, a Diva Den (a luxe reimagining of the garage), a dedicated laundry room and smart home automation via a Savant control system and Lutron RadioRA 3.
Beyond the walls, a pool and spa are framed by mature landscaping for complete privacy. Whether hosting a sunset gathering by the pool or enjoying a quiet morning coffee on a private terrace, the connection to place is undeniable.
In a region newly defined by its resilience, this residence stands apart by offering a rare fusion of timeless design, technological sophistication, indoor/outdoor connection, and privacy.
