Bespoke. Timeless. Rare. Collectible. High-end. These things don’t come to mind when you are at an open house. Many staged houses are cobbled together from what’s laying around, an accumulation of stuff intended to give a didactic vision of you living in the space. Husband and wife team, Oliver and Luana Hildebrandt, owners of Los Angeles based design-build company Hildebrandt Studio, sought to disrupt this pattern. "Our goal was to create a smart space in which lifestyle, function, and good taste inspire contemporary living." Listing agent Geoff Clark, of Deasy/Penner & Partners, turned to Hildebrandt Studio to create something unique in a special house. New to the staging game and already changing the rules, Oliver and Luana have never staged a house before. The open house doubled as an exhibition space slash showroom, in which some of the items were offered for sale. It engaged potential homebuyers to experience a pop-up gallery within a domestic environment. It’s part mid-century modern, part contemporary, and all design-art. Built in 1959, and designed by Los Angeles architect Edward H. Fickett, the property remains faithful to its original aesthetic. Clean lines, an open floor plan, indoor-outdoor living, a simplicity synonymous with California Modernism. The house hit the market on May 8 with an asking price of $1,895,000. Three, all-cash offers were made, and the house closed escrow on May 26. With 2,510 square feet of interior, living space and a pool in the back, the house is ideal for showcasing art, design, and furniture.Many items on view within the house were pulled from the Hildebrandt’s personal collection. Original, mid-century modern pieces such as, a chrome slatted bench by Milo Baughman, a fireplace tool set by George Nelson, a bedroom set by Stanley Young for Glenn of California, or bookends by Ben Seibel. Contemporary art works by Douglas Armour, Justin Siegel, and Lisa Sitko, were on view. As well as, works by Los Angeles designers, Samuel Moyer, Brendan Ravenhill, Annabel Inganni, Brendan Sowersby, and Reistetter Studio.
