# Luxe Hidden Hillside Homes The Oak Pass House Opens Completely to the Beautiful Surrounding Forest By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-07-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-pass References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/oak-pass-main-house/) & [walkerworkshop](https://www.walkerworkshop.com/#/oakpassmain/) Hidden within a hillside of Beverly Hills, the Oak Pass Main House looks as though it has become a direct part of the local landscaping. Comprised of 8,000 square feet, the sprawling home offers over-the-top glazing that makes all guests feel as though they are standing directly in the forest in every room. The design team took an unconventional approach to the floor plan by adding a master bedroom on the main floor and the main living room above. The traditional lines and warm color scheme makes the home feel comfortable while still being a uniquely modern structure. The 75-foot infinity swimming pool acts as a piece of art directly outside of the Oak Pass Main House, giving the illusion the home is floating on water.
