INSIDE a $56 Million Bel Air MEGA MANSION
A three-winged glass fortress perched above Bel Air just hit the market for $56 million.
YouTuber Erik Van Conover took cameras inside 11490 Orum Road, the Bel Air estate known as the Orum Residence, for an exclusive walkthrough of one of Los Angeles’ most architecturally aggressive listings. Commissioned by Thai hotel heiress Dang Bodiratnangkura and completed in 2018, the house was designed by Zoltan Pali of SPF:architects and built by Tyler Development. It’s less a traditional mansion than a piece of engineering — a propeller-shaped structure wrapped in reflective glass, cantilevered over a hillside promontory.
- The three-level, 18,800-to-18,850-square-foot home sits on a 1.55-to-1.6-acre lot and carries a $56 million asking price.
- Its three-winged, propeller-like design uses Sky-Frame mirrored and translucent glass curtain walls to deliver 300-degree views of the Getty Center, Downtown Los Angeles, and the Pacific Ocean.
- The property includes 9 bedrooms, up to 15 bathrooms, dual primary suites, and a detached four-bedroom guesthouse called “The Cube.”
The Design Behind the Price Tag
Zoltan Pali’s plan for Orum Road breaks from the boxy glass-cube aesthetic that dominates most new-build Bel Air listings. The three wings splay outward from a central core, engineered so the structure reads as though it’s floating above the slope rather than sitting on it. According to SPF:architects and The Pinnacle List, the Sky-Frame glass curtain walls — a mix of mirrored, reflective, and translucent panels — wrap the exterior and pull in that 300-degree sweep of the Getty Center, Downtown Los Angeles, and the Pacific horizon.
Three wings, 300 degrees of view, and a glass shell engineered to make an 18,850-square-foot house look like it’s floating over the hill.
A sculptural glass-and-steel floating staircase ties the three levels together, functioning as much as a visual centerpiece as a means of getting between floors. It’s the kind of detail that shows up in almost every listing photo of the house, and it’s the first thing Van Conover’s tour lingers on after the front door.
Nine Bedrooms and a Guesthouse Called The Cube
The residence carries 9 bedrooms and as many as 15 bathrooms, per The Pinnacle List and LuxuryProperty.com, including dual primary suites tucked on the upper private floor. For guests or staff, there’s a separate four-bedroom structure on the grounds nicknamed “The Cube” — a standalone building that functions as its own small house within the larger property.
Communal living space occupies the main floor, but the real showpiece is underground. The subterranean lower level is carved directly into the hillside and houses a Dolby Atmos private cinema, a glass-enclosed, temperature-controlled wine room holding 1,000 bottles, a fitness gym, a massage room, and a cedar sauna — essentially a full entertainment and wellness wing hidden beneath the house.
The Outdoor Footprint
Outside, the property leans just as hard into scale. The Pinnacle List details roughly 6,000 square feet of covered and open deck space, two separate fire-pit lounges, an outdoor kitchen, and a motor court large enough to hold dozens of cars. An LED-lit, ozone-treated swimming pool and spa stretch toward the city, positioned so the water itself frames the downtown skyline.
It’s the combination of the architecture and the amenities — the floating staircase, the wine room cut into rock, the pool lit like a runway — that Van Conover’s tour is built to showcase, giving viewers a sense of what $56 million actually buys in Bel Air’s current market for readers who follow this kind of luxury real estate content.
The Orum Residence remains on the market at its $56 million ask, one of several ultra-high-end Bel Air listings competing for a small pool of buyers who want architecture as much as square footage. For a heiress-commissioned spec house built to turn heads from the street below, that propeller-shaped silhouette is doing exactly what it was designed to do — the kind of story that keeps popping up around wealthy homeowners and heirs making headlines for their real estate rather than their day jobs.
