A mid-century Granada Hills home with a sunken lounge.
A newly renovated mid-century home in Granada Hills, designed with a calm, expressive palette that moves from warm woods to soft greens, terracotta tiles, and muted stone. The main living space opens wide to the garden, with a sunken lounge that anchors the room in texture—herringbone floors, brick fireplace, and custom millwork that frames the space with quiet geometry.

Why Merck House
Color plays a defining role throughout the house. The kitchen layers rich walnut with ochre and plum accents, while the bathrooms introduce sculptural marble, brass fixtures, and tiled surfaces sourced from London and Japan. Each room has its own tonal atmosphere, unified by natural light and thoughtful material transitions.
The property includes a converted garage studio, gym, and sauna, along with a separate guest house—set among pines—with an outdoor kitchen and shower. This secondary structure works seamlessly for filming, holding, glam, or crew support.
Ample parking, open flow, and generous outdoor space make the location production-friendly while maintaining the intimacy and character of a classic mid-century home.
