An Italian Renaissance in the Hollywood Hills
Upon passing through the gated entry leading to a private courtyard, one enters the dramatic 24′ high Pantheon inspired rotunda complete with a retractable skylight.

The landmark 57′ high Florentine style bell tower houses an authentic bell imported from Rome (that really works!).
