The Ajioka House by Buff & Hensman, 1960
Calling all cool kids with taste. A 1960 Buff & Hensman post-and-beam, meticulously restored and reimagined by Commune Design. This gated compound sits on nearly an acre of lush, layered grounds just above the Sunset Strip. The main house, guest house, and two studio dwellings are connected by garden paths, sculptural fire features, and landscaping that makes everything feel more magical.

Inside
Here, you never feel fully “inside.” Reclaimed oak cladding wraps the interiors, grounding the home in warmth and texture. Polished concrete floors, exposed beams, and a dramatic brick fireplace make the main living space refined and relaxed. The kitchen features a sculptural, 24-foot Boffi island made of stainless steel and walnut. It opens seamlessly to the outdoors, creating a natural flow between cooking, gathering, and lingering. Each structure offers moments of connection and separation: room to host, to work, to just be. Light moves easily through all of it, playing with the materials in a way that makes the house feel alive.
Outside
The grounds are what turn this into something else entirely. Garden pathways weave between structures. Sculptural fire features create focal points at night. Two custom Stan Bitters water installations add movement and sound. There’s an open-air bar, multiple gathering places, and just as many spots for quiet solitude. Mature landscaping frames canyon views, creating a sense of privacy that feels peaceful, but not sleepy.
The O' Factor
Honestly just so special: From the Buff & Hensman architecture to the Commune Design restoration – the near-acre of land to the four independent structures. Walk in and you’ll immediately start rethinking what you want your life to look like.
