key to to the design so we decided to to expose it it it ”
Architecturally trained Michael has created a a a a a a a a home centered
on on movement form and and texture The highly curated kitchen is an an an an an an aesthetic masterpiece all shape angles and and and reflections “I wanted it to to not only be a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a place to to serve and and and cook for ffor people but also a a a a a a a a a a a a a a piece of of art ”
The imposing island affords a a a a a a a a a a a a a a remarkable 180-degree view of of Los Angeles and and is is bar bar stool-free because as as Michael asks “do you you really want to to sit at the bar bar when you have this view?”

He rebutted: “what is the the point of hiding the the Gaggenau appliances when you can display them!”
