The Space

The open, unobstructed interior features clean architectural lines, curated furnishings, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws the canyon landscape inward, creating harmony between the home and its surroundings. The atmosphere is soft, minimal, and restorative, with every element thoughtfully selected to support comfort and ease.

A fully equipped kitchen, comfortable gathering spaces, and quiet corners for reading, meditation, or reflection make the home ideal for unhurried mornings and restful evenings. Share a slow breakfast, relax together after exploring the city, or simply enjoy the changing canyon light from the comfort of the living pavilion.

Sleeping Arrangements

Merkaba Home accommodates up to five guests across three private bedroom suites, each designed for rest, privacy, and a calm, Zen-inspired experience.

Panoramic Primary Suite & View Loft — Upper Level

This spacious primary suite features a king bed, private balcony, fireplace, and direct access to a 450-square-foot sundeck with panoramic canyon views. A Hinoki soaking tub creates a serene, spa-inspired bathing experience. Enjoy sunrise coffee, quiet afternoons overlooking the canyon, or evenings beneath the open sky.

Canyon & City View Spa Suite — Lower Level

This expansive private suite features a king bed, beautiful canyon and Los Angeles city views, and a Japanese-inspired spa bathroom with a deep Hinoki soaking tub and walk-in shower. Its peaceful lower-level setting offers an inviting retreat after a day of exploring Los Angeles.

Zen View Wellness Suite — Lower Level

This tranquil private suite features a full-size bed and beautiful canyon and city views. Designed for deep rest and daily wellness rituals, it includes meditation seating and two Japanese-style Zen yoga mats—ideal for sunrise stretching, breathwork, or quiet reflection. A private full bathroom with a basalt-stone walk-in shower completes the grounding, spa-like experience.

Hotel-grade bedding has been selected throughout the home for comfort, breathability, and softness.

Bathing & Wellness

The home’s bathing spaces draw inspiration from Japanese bathing culture, combining warm water, gentle lighting, natural materials, and elemental calm. Smooth stone surfaces, basalt-stone showers, and deep Hinoki soaking tubs create restorative, spa-like environments that encourage guests to slow down and unwind.

For an elevated wellness experience, Merkaba Home partners with Tomoko Spa to offer in-residence Japanese massage treatments, available by advance reservation. This optional service allows guests to enjoy the privacy and relaxation of a personalized spa experience without leaving the home.
