The Century, a 42-story masterpiece designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, is not short on cachet. When it debuted in 2009, the landmark building quickly became home to a number of celebrities and high-profile Angelenos, including Candy Spelling and Paula Abdul to Matthew Perry, Qualcomm co-founder Younes Nazarian and chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Their attraction to The Century is hardly a revelation. Presiding over four private acres of lush gardens, the luxury residential tower offers the utmost in privacy with a 24-hour guard gate, valet, doorman and concierge. Added to that is the trove of amenities onsite: outdoor dining rooms, fountains, walking paths, a 75-foot lap pool, cabanas, an Equinox design gym, Pilates studio, spa, yoga studio, screening room, dining room, bar lounges, wine cellar, conference room and a children’s playroom.
While each homeowner at The Century brought their own vision to their spaces, most of the interiors typically keep with the modern, cool, casual vernacular of Southern California. Design palettes tend to consist of light, muted tones. Until you arrive at Unit #B. While the finishes have been kept timeless, modern and neutral, the Crespo-designed townhouse has been envisioned as an oasis of color. Vibrant pop art and flashes of hot pinks, purples and blues spring the soaring 6,750-square-foot space to life, making it feel a little more Miami Beach than Venice Beach. The departure from the expected culminates in a fresh and spirited infusion of bicoastal energy teeming throughout the interiors.

Spread over three levels, the townhouse is listed with Victor Ahn of Coldwell Banker Realty, who calls it “a single-family residence in the sky.” The floorplan features an oversized great room with dining area, family room and enclosed eat-in kitchen with a private terrace, where a beautiful fireplace sets an inviting outdoor stage upon which to entertain family and friends in the enviable California weather.

The upper level includes three bedrooms, including a stunning primary bedroom suite which wows with a terrace, dual bathrooms, dressing areas and an office. A lower level can also double as a home office or wine cellar. And the one constant throughout? The unconventional sophistication of the interiors envisioned by designer Enrique Crespo of Crespo Design Group.
We recently caught up with the Tampa Bay-based designer (who has projects all around the country) and asked him to give us an insider’s view of this unique space, his thoughts on color and more.
