Travis Roderick's Masterpiece in Bel Air Featured in The Wall Street Journal

When the Wall Street Journal profiles your work, you know you've created something exceptional. Roderick Builders is proud that our collaboration with architect Thomas Juul-Hansen on The Getty House in Bel Air has earned national recognition as one of Los Angeles' most striking new residences.

The Project

The Getty House is a nearly 10,000-square-foot modern masterpiece perched above the Bel Air Country Club. Designed by acclaimed architect Thomas Juul-Hansen and brought to life by Roderick Builders, the home features soaring 20-foot ceilings, walls of glass framing canyon-to-ocean views, and a 5,000-square-foot rooftop deck that may be the finest outdoor entertaining space in all of Los Angeles.

The property represents the pinnacle of what's possible when visionary architecture meets uncompromising construction excellence. Every element was designed to make a statement — from the dramatic cantilevered volumes to the seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.

Materials and Craftsmanship

The exterior is clad in Alabastrino Travertine, a material chosen for both its beauty and its ability to create a warm, monolithic presence. Inside, the material selections are equally intentional: custom Murano glass lighting fixtures, book-matched marble feature walls, and millwork detailed to furniture-grade standards.

Building at this level requires a team that understands there are no shortcuts. Our crews approached every detail as though it would be photographed — because in a home like this, it will be. From the precision of the stone joints to the flawless integration of automated systems, The Getty House demonstrates what happens when every trade operates at the highest level.

Recognition and Market Impact

The Wall Street Journal feature highlighted not just the design but the build quality that makes it possible. In a market where buyers at this level have seen everything, the execution has to be perfect. The Getty House has set a new benchmark for luxury construction in the Bel Air market.

This kind of recognition reflects our approach across all markets — whether we're building in Bel Air, on Thrasher Avenue, or in the mountains of Utah's Wasatch Back. The standard never changes.

From California to Utah

Travis Roderick and the Roderick Builders team bring the same level of craft and ambition to every project. Our Utah builds at communities like Benloch Ranch and Park City benefit directly from our experience building at the highest levels in Los Angeles.
