Home of the Week: An exotic vibe in Hollywood Hills West

Tucked within a pocket of canyon wilderness, this wood-paneled and glass-enclosed residence is visually dramatic, with a switchback design that lifts the master suite and media room above the main level. Walls of glass and multiple wood-lined balconies take full advantage of hillside and city lights views.
