The house is perched on Edgehill Mountain, its 10,121 square feet comprising an artistic marriage of both curvilinear and sharp angles. Inside the unique facade are eight bedrooms and five bathrooms in a loft-like interior framed by a 20-foot ceiling. The home has five levels, all served by an elevator. Honey-toned wood, parquet floors, burnished brick and cement glow in the light pouring through tall windows inset across the entire back wall of the home.

With the birth of daughter, Zoe, now two years old, it became clear to Felipe and von Behrens that they wanted to prioritize creating a secure environment for their young family. What began as a search for a weekend home ended with a spontaneous purchase-a new principal Hamburg home for the family. One morning, von Behrens came across a midcentury-style architect's house in an online ad.

The downstairs is one large room. I needed it to be able to be a guest room occasionally, but I couldn't figure it out.
