Bullard arranged the environment to complement other aspects of Freedman’s lifestyle, too. “When we put the Buddha in the pool area, it changed the whole vibe of the place,” Freedman says of the lava stone bust from Bali. He hosts what’s called Malibu Yoga Shala on Sunday mornings: an invite-only yoga class, followed by contemporary farm-to-table cuisine by Chef Oren Zroya, surfing and hanging out. The classes have been such a hit that he plans to open a Malibu Yoga Shala and Kamboocha Bar in the near future. “We curate this perfect day,” he says. “I feel like I’m living in warmth and love. I live alone, but I don’t feel like I live alone.” •
Clockwise from above: A SUNDAY MORNING MALIBU YOGA SHALA SESSION. THE ROOF DECK ADJACENT TO THE REC ROOM, WITH ITS WARHOL SURFBOARDS AND TERRY-COVERED SEATING, IS IDEAL FOR CHECKING SURF CONDITIONS. CHEF OREN ZROYA PREPARES A POST-WORKOUT MEAL IN THE KITCHEN, WHERE A TRIO OF STOOLS FROM DAO MAKES A WHIMSICAL STATEMENT. FREEDMAN EMERGES FROM THE SURF WHILE BO AWAITS A CHANCE TO PLAY.
