THREE PLANES
' Three Planes,' the latest architectural reverie from visionary designer Jae Omar, is a modern equestrian estate nestled in the gated and exclusive enclave of Hidden Hills. Drawing respectful inspiration from the Chumash people, the Native American tribe who once inhabited this land, the residence is a spiritual and architectural homage to their cosmology - three interconnected worlds: the sky, the earth, and the underworld. Unlike Western belief systems, the Chumash held that humans could, with great effort, traverse these realms. Three Planes is a physical manifestation of that mythic journey.
Set on a generous property that spans over an acre, the approximately 11,000 square foot newly constructed residence unfolds across two levels, with a layout that balances grandeur and intimacy. The inspired home features five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and an additional powder room. The spa-grade primary suite rests on the main floor, while the upper level of the home boasts all four secondary bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms. Ideally positioned, a dedicated wing of the home offers a sanctuary of wellness and entertainment.
Upon arrival, the grand exterior greets you with a tactile blend of Shou Sugi Ban siding, Santa Barbara stone cladding, and hand-applied plaster, all crowned by slate and metal roofing - a modern ranch aesthetic that seamlessly integrates into Hidden Hills' equestrian heritage. The structure's silhouette is bold yet reverent, echoing the Chumash's deep connection to the land.
Inside, Omar's signature organic modernism takes form through rich woods, textured stone, and earth-toned plaster finishes. Vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams soar above the living spaces, while light-colored wood flooring and plush, neutral-toned furnishings create a grounded, serene atmosphere. Wall niches throughout the home cradle a curated collection of antique pottery, a silent tribute to the Chumash's artistic legacy and spiritual depth.
Anchoring the home is a bespoke kitchen finished with the highest degree of materials and appliances, which is joined by a generous breakfast nook, walk-in pantry, and adjacent to both the formal living and formal dining rooms. A plush media room, convenient wet bar, and private study round out the primary living areas, while a temperature-controlled wine room offers a refined touch for collectors.
The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, featuring a spa-level bathroom with steam, sauna, and a sculptural soaking tub. The wellness wing includes a fully equipped gym and dedicated spa, designed for both physical rejuvenation and spiritual reflection.
Outside, the property continues its narrative with a resort-style pool and spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, and a yoga deck - each element placed with intention, inviting residents to engage with the natural world. Rounding out the property is a detached horse stable that stands as both a functional amenity and a nod to the region's equestrian soul.
Throughout Three Planes, every material, every detail, and every spatial gesture is imbued with meaning. From the vertical fireplace wall that draws the eye skyward, to the encapsulated wine room that evokes the underworld, the home is a living myth - an architectural journey through the Chumash belief in transformation, transcendence, and connection.
