Tour an Epic LA Mansion With Eclectic, Hotel-Like Touches

By Alia Akkam

Photography by James McDonald

Moody visuals from Blade Runner, the 1982 sci-fi noir depicting a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles, were among the inspirations guiding AD100 talent Bryan O’Sullivan ’s design of a Bel Air manse. In their brief, the clients, financier Adam Levinson and his wife, Brittany, noted that the film encapsulated their eclectic tastes; O’Sullivan, founder of his eponymous London and New York studio and author of the forthcoming A New Glamour from Rizzoli, fittingly responded with cinematic interiors. The Levinsons, he points out, “are not afraid of color and like metallic finishes, which sit quite nicely with the architecture. It was a blank canvas.”

After snagging the 30,000-square-foot, midcentury-redolent new-build developed by Bulli , Plus Development , and Choice Projects , the couple, although smitten with the sprawling layout, craved a more intimate atmosphere in which to raise their three children, and turned to O’Sullivan and his team to enliven the rooms with warm, tactile layers.

The designer reimagined the vast spaces as more human-scale ones by employing a series of small interventions. Consider the archway, a grand arrival just past the exterior’s Daniel Arsham Pikachu sculpture and ceramic artist Tony Marsh’s pillars, heightened by a melding of burl walnut veneer, Calacatta Viola marble, and silver leaf. This art-filled “decompression zone,” as O’Sullivan puts it, was not part of the previous layout, but now gives visitors a chance to pause underneath Neal Feay’s shimmering aluminum portal before plunging deeper into the three-story residence.

Throughout, O’Sullivan showcases artworks from the Levinsons’ astonishing collection—including a Tracey Emin neon creation, Theaster Gates fire hose tapestry, and Josef Albers painting—forging a soulful, deeply personal narrative in the process.

“Our vision was to unify the existing structure with our family’s rhythm and lifestyle,” explains Brittany Levinson of the project. “We have a real love for art and wanted it to be central to the design of our home. One of the things that drew us to this house so much was the gallery-like feel of the double-height entry.”

The walls, wrapped in earthy Clayworks clay plasters, also provide continuity. The existing stone cladding was eradicated to make way for this textured alternative, just as the wood shutters were replaced with chic metallic screens and partition walls were installed to elicit an inviting sense of privacy. “It was cavernous before,” says O’Sullivan.

Swaths of automotive paint add a lustrous sheen, while the austere spiral staircase was revamped for a softer look. “It was black,” remembers O’Sullivan, “and we went for powder blue, so it’s more approachable. We also added timber capping to the glass balustrade to make it more homely.”

This element is one of Adam Levinson’s favorites too. “It brought an organic sensitivity of nature into a geometric and large, open space,” he says. “You literally feel yourself floating in a hilltop above Los Angeles with the floor-to-ceiling glass in front of you,” he says.

All rooms exude an air of elegance, yet are equally comfortable. Despite the presence of vintage items, the living room, with its curvilinear sofas and ensemble of tables, conjures a futuristic aura. It looks onto the swimming pool, with double-width, throne-reminiscent daybeds designed by Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, and mighty views.

Flowing from the kitchen and the family room is the informal dining area, which showcases the Harvest table from O’Sullivan’s inaugural furniture collection, a version inlaid with bespoke urban images—a skateboarder, a cop car, a donut—that evoke Los Angeles.

Upstairs, where the bedrooms are, the den contrasts the ground floor’s open-plan rooms. Dubbed the Pajama Lounge, it’s outfitted with oak paneling and a marble fireplace and has a cozy ambiance that also pervades the lower level.

Tapping into his expertise in the hospitality realm, here O’Sullivan crafted a red- and pink-toned bar and dimly lit speakeasy-style lounge enveloped in murals, both of which call to mind swank hotel lobbies. A full-fledged entertaining hub, there’s also a powder room graced by an Amani Lewis collage and a cinema complemented by whimsical concession cabinets, well-stocked with jars of candy for savoring alongside movies.

“It was a huge basement with no natural light,” recalls O’Sullivan. “We had to make it a place that people are going to want to spend time in.” Perhaps a place for the Levinsons to watch Blade Runner , and reflect on their design vision come to life.

Greeting guests at the entrance to the Bel Air abode is a playful bronze and polished stainless-steel Pikachu sculpture, part of the Daniel Arsham x Pokémon collaboration.

Artist Gregor Hildebrandt’s tower of compression-molded records elevates the dramatic winding staircase.

Eight of Augusto Savini’s 1960s Pamplona chairs refreshed in pale pink and gray fabric from John Boyd Textiles invite guests to sit down to Bryan O’Sullivan Studio’s chrome-inlaid Harvest dining table crafted from walnut. It’s complemented by a pair of 1980s Murano glass lamps scooped up from 1stDibs that frame Gisela Colon’s artwork, and in the background, pieces by Zhu Jinshi, Yoshitomo Nara, and Lynda Benglis.

Adjacent to the kitchen, with its blue lacquered cabinetry and Cipollino green marble island buoyed by a Sabine Marcelis resin pendant and custom chrome and leather stools, is an area for the family to gather. The Charles Zana sofa, covered in Holland & Sherry fabric, is joined by a walnut armchair draped in sheepskin, a striking hammered brass ceiling lamp from Galerie Meubles et Lumières, a platinum decorated Takuro Kuwata vase, and glazed ceramic and stainless-steel side tables by Bari Ziperstein and Lee Sisan, respectively.

Situated underneath a custom polished brass and opaline glass pendant in the living room is an American black walnut George Nakashima dining table. It’s surrounded by Gio Ponti Leggera chairs swathed in fabric from John Boyd Textiles and looks onto the pool.

1970s vibes permeate the living room, which mixes vintage pieces from the era like a glass and chrome François Monnet table and duo of Jacques Charpentier leather and steel lounge chairs with de Sede’s curving Snake sectional, Raphaël Navot’s Moon sofa for Domeau & Pérès, and artworks by Kouzo Takeuchi, Tatiana Trouvé, and Robert Irwin. Bolstering the room is an array of tables by Based Upon, Draga & Aurel, Bari Ziperstein, and Tron Meyer, as well as lighting from the Future Perfect and Monologue London. The Dieter Rams stereo for Braun and George Nakashima lamp perched on the Borsani table all add 1960s flourishes.

Bryan O’Sullivan Studio’s bespoke serpentine sofa, upholstered in a deep blue Brochier fabric, is the star of the secondary living room. It curves around Egg Collective’s asymmetrical-topped Isla coffee table, accessorized with a Georg Jensen tea set, and sits underneath a flamboyant brass and neon ceiling light from Locatelli Partners. Behind it is another standout from O’Sullivan and his team: a cantilevered leather and aluminum desk paired with a Maria Pergay chair from Demisch Danant and Anne Holtrop’s lamp for Maniera. They all mingle with Massimo Castagna’s platinum side table for Henge, grounded by two Ignazio Gardella reclining 1960s armchairs, and an antique side table that takes the form of a lily. Alessandro Mendini’s Cubo Sfera table lamp for Fidenza Vetraria and artworks by Fred Eversley, Lee Hun Chung, Peter Alexander, Jason Martin, and Cameron Martin round out the space.

Custom sculptural loungers decorate the pool deck.

Exit by Yoshitomo Nara, artworks by Lynda Benglis, Zhang Huan, and Josef Albers, and Bryan O’Sullivan Studio’s custom-designed ottoman command attention in the double-height atrium.

A powder blue sheen adds softness to the sculptural staircase that leads upstairs.

Panoramic views and Arabescato Corchia marble fill the primary bathroom. They are juxtaposed with a resin side table from 88 Gallery, Heinz Mack’s late-1950s hand-embossed wood and aluminum artwork, and Rocky Mountain Hardware’s sleek vanity pulls.

A high-gloss mustardy hue courtesy of Benjamin Moore cloaks one of the guest powder rooms, where French artist Franck Evennou’s cactus-shaped, cast-bronze sconces from Maison Gerard flank the custom antique brass Fiona McDonald mirror. Chiyu Uemae’s mixed-media work adds a splash of contrasting dark blue to the space.

Soft pink Nobilis upholstery shrouds Bryan O’Sullivan Studio’s sinuous solid oak sofa in the “Pajama Lounge.” That custom design melds with a Verde Salvia marble fireplace, Hans J. Wegner chair and stool, and lighting from Entler Studio, BDDW, and Eric Schmitt. Among the objects lining the oak bookcase are Roxy Paine’s low-density polyethylene sculpture sourced from The Kitchen and a Kaws yellow vinyl figure.

The lounge is dominated by a black fossil fireplace brightened with a Stickymonger artwork and Brian Robles’s limewashed blue ceiling and wall murals accented with silver- and gold-leaf. It also brings together several custom-designed creations from Bryan O’Sullivan Studio: plump armchairs enveloped in striped Toyine Sellers fabric, brass and cast-glass drinks tables, and coiled stools that entice with mohair from Savel. Collier Webb antique bronze sconces and indigo leather and chrome lamps cast a warm glow, while 1950s Murano glass vases showcase blooms.

Plush seating elevates screenings in the cinema, a dark space punctuated by Awol Erizku’s green neon and stainless-steel depiction of a panther sourced from Ben Brown Fine Arts.

In the glamorous drinking den, Bryan O’Sullivan Studio custom designed many of the pieces, including the bar’s undulating brass and opaline glass pendant and swiveling stools, along with the expansive chrome-based sofa and lava stone coffee tables. They are married with vintage alabaster sconces by Pierre Chareau for Galerie MCDE, spinning armchairs propped up on polished chrome bases, and Zak + Fox and Tibor fabrics.

An elaborate candy display, designed to augment movie watching sessions.

A work by Amani Lewis defines a powder room in the basement entertaining hub.

The newly constructed home is characterized by stunning city views. A large outdoor sectional by Exteta offers a place to lounge.

Founded in 1604 in a decree of Tsar Boris Godunov, Tomsk is one of the oldest cities in Siberia. It began its life as a fortress on the River Tom to protect Russia’s conquest of Siberia. The city is also home to Siberia’s oldest university and is today a major educational centre in the region and a real student city. Despite being located off the Trans-Siberian Railway, it remains a popular tourist destination thanks to the large number of historical buildings that have been preserved in the city. However this view was not shared by Anton Chekhov when he stopped in Tomsk and locals have repaid Chekhov’s unkind words about their city with an equally unflattering statue of the great Russian writer.
