In the world of quiet luxury, few names hold as much weight as Jerry Lorenzo. The Fear of God founder built an empire on precise tailoring, muted palettes, and an aesthetic that speaks in whispers yet commands a room. His influence extends beyond fashion—it’s a cultural movement, shaping the way we think about effortless sophistication and modern minimalism.
Now, that ethos finds its ultimate expression in architecture. Welcome to Nottingham House, Lorenzo’s former Los Feliz estate, a 7,200-square-foot sanctuary of design mastery, restraint, and presence. More than a home, it is a study in balance—where power meets purity, and where fashion meets foundation.
Listed by Tyrone McKillen, founder of Plus Real Estate, this $11.75M estate isn’t just another LA mansion—it’s an icon of architectural streetwear. The blueprint is simple: no excess, no noise, just power in the details.
The Fear of God Approach to Architecture
Stepping through the steel-framed doors of Nottingham House feels akin to slipping into a Fear of God coat—perfectly draped, structured yet fluid, unmistakably luxurious but never loud. At first glance, the home is a masterclass in restraint, but a closer look reveals an obsessive attention to materiality, flow, and scale.
Originally built in the 1930s, the residence has been meticulously reimagined by Kathleen and Tommy Clements, the design duo behind some of Hollywood’s most exclusive homes. Warm woods, textured neutrals, and rich natural stone create an atmosphere of grounded elegance, mirroring the ethos of Fear of God’s fashion collections.
The main house, guest house, and poolside loggia unfold seamlessly, creating a flow of living spaces that feels effortless yet intentional. This is architecture as couture—measured, tailored, and designed to move with its owner.
Where Power Meets Precision
True luxury is never about excess—it’s about what’s left unsaid. The living room, flooded with natural light, is a lesson in proportion and restraint. A grand fireplace anchors the space, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the outside world like a curated backdrop. There’s no need for embellishment when the architecture itself is the statement.
The kitchen is a design purist’s dream—sleek yet functional, powerful yet understated. Custom cabinetry, bookmatched marble, and high-end appliances create a space that is as performative as it is beautiful. This is not just a place for cooking—it’s an architectural moment, akin to a perfectly draped Fear of God overcoat.
Upstairs, the primary suite continues the theme of elegance through precision. Muted tones, soft textures, and clean lines evoke the same quiet confidence that defines Lorenzo’s approach to fashion. This is not a space meant to impress—it’s meant to be felt, experienced, and lived in.
A Private Sanctuary in Los Angeles
Set on a 13,274-square-foot lot, the estate offers something even more rare than good design: true privacy. Shielded by towering hedges and Japanese maple trees, the outdoor space is a retreat within the city.
The inground pool feels like an extension of the home, reflecting the same minimalist yet impactful aesthetic. A sports court, subtly integrated into the property, offers an unexpected yet intentional nod to movement, creativity, and play.The outdoor lounge and dining areas create a seamless transition between architecture and nature, reinforcing the home’s philosophy: everything is connected, nothing is accidental.
Architectural Streetwear: When Fashion and Real Estate Collide
Fear of God is often described as “streetwear for the elite,” a brand that takes everyday essentials and elevates them to the realm of luxury through precise tailoring and meticulous craftsmanship.
This house does the same.
With steel-framed doors, a muted yet rich color palette, and a play on textures that feel both organic and structured, Nottingham House mirrors the same subtle opulence and architectural minimalism that define Fear of God’s collections.
Brendan Brown, Los Angeles luxury real estate expert, puts it best:
“This home moves like it's one of Lorenzo's latest collections—intentional, seamless, a masterclass in structure and ease.”
This is what happens when fashion transcends fabric and becomes a way of life.
A Legacy Home in a Legacy Neighborhood
Los Feliz has long been a home to visionaries—from Old Hollywood royalty to today’s most influential creatives. Its tree-lined streets and historic estates create a neighborhood that balances heritage with modernity, much like the home itself.
The Nottingham House sits just minutes from Griffith Park, Silver Lake’s creative hub, and some of LA’s most sought-after restaurants and boutiques. It offers a balance that few properties achieve—total privacy, yet complete access to everything that defines Los Angeles.
A Home That Owns Its Place in Architectural History
Some homes sell. Others leave a legacy.
Nottingham House is the latter. This estate isn’t trying to be iconic—it simply is. It doesn’t follow trends, because it was designed to outlast them. It doesn’t need to announce itself, because the right people already know its value.
Brendan Brown, Los Angeles luxury real estate expert, sums it up in one sentence: “Some homes are built to be passed from owner to owner. This one was built to be kept.”
And just like Fear of God, this home isn’t for just everyone. It’s for those who understand.
