Home of the Week: A Beverly Hills penthouse blanketed in greenery

Found toward the top of a Beverly Hills complex that blends nature with architecture, this chic “Sky Villa� looks as good on the outside as it does on the inside. The building, dubbed Gardenhouse, was designed by MAD Architects, the same firm handling the futuristic Lucas Museum of Narrative Art coming to Exposition Park. Greenery covers the outside, and museum-like living spaces fill the inside with gallery white walls and a massive sculptural staircase.
