Tour David Lynch's House as It Hits the Market David Lynch, the visionary American filmmaker behind Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Dr, passed away in January 2025. His larger-than-life creative universe endures in objects, spaces, and ideas—most notably in his meticulously designed Hollywood Hills estate, now listed for $15 million. --- Overview of the Estate Location: Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles Size: Approximately 2.3-acre hillside spanning five contiguous parcels Structures: Three main residences Several ancillary buildings Total: 7 structures with 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms Total area: About 11,000 square feet The estate unfolds like a cinematic storyboard, with each building capturing different facets of Lynch's artistic vision. The compound is considered a "creative sanctuary and architectural landmark" in Los Angeles. --- Architectural Highlights Historical Background The story began in 1987 when Lynch acquired the pink-hued Beverly Johnson House, designed in the early 1960s by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright). This house is recognized by Historic Places LA as an excellent example of Mid-Century Modern residential design. In 1991, Eric Lloyd Wright (Lloyd Wright’s son) was commissioned to add a pool and a pool house, continuing the Wright architectural legacy on the property. Subsequent acquisitions included: A two-bedroom Brutalist house in 1989 A studio building in 1995 Additional land parcels to create a seven-building complex, forming a creative campus. Design Features The centerpiece is a ~2,000 square feet home with abundant natural light pouring through windows and skylights. Facade includes cement chevrons that catch sunlight. Interiors feature simple metalwork, natural woods, and organic textures, embodying material honesty often reflected in Lynch’s films. Outdoor spaces feature terraces, courtyards, and planted walkways that offer a serene contrast to the intensity of creative work inside. Special Spaces 7029 Senalda: Former home of Asymmetrical Productions. 7035 Senalda: Acclaimed as both the Madison residence in the movie Lost Highway and Lynch’s own studio, featuring a library, screening room, and editing suite where he refined major works, including Mulholland Drive. Additional buildings designed with Lynch’s collaboration include a sculptural two-story guest house and a one-bedroom retreat finished with smooth grey plaster, his favored material. --- Cultural and Artistic Significance The estate is more than a home; it serves as both a living archive and a working creative studio.
