Musician Taio Cruz listed this recent modern-style home in Beverly Hills on the open market this month. The 5,700 sq. ft. residence is priced at $8.5 million, and features a concrete and glass exterior that hints at desert contemporary.
The interiors of the five-bedroom, six-bath house are varied in style. In the common area, a stacked stone fireplace accent wall and divider hints at midcentury style, the staircase adds a bit of tough industrial, and Shoji-screen doors add a dimension of Japanese influence. Scraped plank hardwood, recessed fixtures and a retractable glass wall are other features of the appealing main living area.
With floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in semi-gloss hardwood, the kitchen gets most of the warmth, while the formal dining room’s greys are more understated. The home also features a recording studio and a gym. A guest suite and an outdoor living area with an infinity pool round out a first look at an eligible home for lovers of this style.
