Step into the realm of ancient Norse mythology with Odin, a $23 million Los Angeles home that channels Scandinavian design. realestate
One of Omar’s signature design elements is angled wooden room dividers that divide areas while diffusing light.“Humans all over the world built these fabulous myths, and my projects have these sorts of philosophical underpinnings. Odin was known for his love of poetry and literature. On one hand, he is violent and tempestuous, and on the other, sensitive and delicate. That contrast is exactly what you find when you walk through the house.
Harmonious and inviting, Odin has soaring ceilings with Scandinavian-inspired woodwork and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that allow plenty of natural light to flow through the open-concept living spaces. Near the entrance there’s a floating architectural staircase made from oak with glass railings. The home’s great hall, meanwhile, has nearly invisible glass walls that overlook the manicured backyard lawn, a stately imported stone fireplace, and an indoor-outdoor lounge area.
“Odin’s mythical story is that of a warrior poet, a perfect balance between both purpose and beauty,” says Omar. “Translating that to the home, it was imperative that every space have a firm direction and function, while also allowing for the space’s unique aesthetics to provide sensory influence, placing more thought and insight into our conventional use of a home.
Outside the amenities continue with a Junior Olympic-sized pool, sunken fire pit with a 4,500-pound boulder, spa, a sports court, and outdoor lounge areas. There is also a tiered yard with a dedicated yoga and meditation area, a raised organic garden, and a play area. Just off the backyard is an indoor-outdoor wellness center with a covered fitness area for equipment, as well as a sauna, steam room, shower, a relaxation space, and outdoor plunge pools.
Odin is listed with Sally Forster Jones of Compass and Matthew Altman of Douglas Elliman. If sold for asking, it would become the most expensive home ever sold in Encino.
