Who’s who behind the scenes of this issue, plus their favorite California places

Sam Frost

C People 1 Andrea Stanford “I’ve been a forever fan of Ray Azoulay, and being able to feature his new home after following his work for so long was amazing,” says C Design & Interiors Editor Andrea Stanford of producing the cover story on Azoulay’s minimalist pad (“Clean Getaway,” p.42). “It was a perfect Malibu day; we were shooting with the ubertalented Sam Frost, and I had one of those moments when I had to remind myself I was actually working.” C SPOTS • Girls’ night in my favorite booth at Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood • Concerts at The Forum in L.A. • Meadowood Spa in Napa Valley—I’ve always admired Howard Backen’s work and I’ve been lucky enough to see this property with him as my tour guide! (Collage, p.82.)

C 12 SPRING HOME 2017

Kerstin Czarra “The designers really nailed the modern Southern California spirit: effortless, chic and approachable,” says L.A.-based writer Kerstin Czarra of the Bonesteel Trout Hall-designed Newport Beach residence featured in “Lighten Up,” p.60. She also detailed Lee Stanton and Israel Serna’s Palm Springs getaway in “High Desert,” p.66. Czarra has held editorial posts at One Kings Lane and Martha Stewart Living. C SPOTS • The Runyon scramble at Hollywood’s Beachwood Cafe after a hike • Nickey Kehoe shop in L.A. for great gifts and endless inspiration • A negroni at the bar at Bestia in Downtown L.A.

Heidi Bonesteel, Michele Trout and Jill Hall “Through our use of unexpected materials, a clean-lined approach to the interiors and a well-curated art collection, we have created a fresh, light and casual home for this family with six young children,” says Michele Trout—one of three founders behind interiors firm Bonesteel Trout Hall—of designing the Newport Beach abode in “Lighten Up,” p.60. Together with partners Heidi Bonesteel and Jill Hall, Trout has collaborated on projects ranging from family compounds in Palm Springs to mountain retreats in Aspen.

C SPOTS • Elyse Walker in Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach • Paseo Miramar Trail in Pacific Palisades on a full moon is an incredible evening hike • Garde Shop in L.A. for the most amazing objects, accessories and jewelry

Howard Backen “We wanted to use Meadowood’s existing tree as a focal point in our design, which is a feature you’ll see in some of our other projects—like Napa Valley Reserve’s big oak tree,” says Bay Area architect Howard Backen, who shares his California inspiration behind the resort in Collage, p.82. As founding partner of Backen, Gillam & Kroeger Architects, Backen has spent more than 20 years imagining high-profile projects spanning wineries to residences. C SPOTS • The Presidio of S.F. for eucalyptus forests, hiking trails and ocean views • S.F.’s Spruce restaurant • The body-temp outdoor pool at Solage Calistoga in Napa Valley

“The simplicity, beauty and stillness of Ray Azoulay’s home floating on top of the Pacific Ocean was, to say it mildly, relaxing,” says photographer Sam Frost, who captured the minimalist Malibu digs in “Clean Getaway,” p.42. When he isn’t shooting for clients including Chanel, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor and Haute Living, Frost can be found “chasing down artists for portraits,” he says. C SPOTS • Malibu Creek State Park for its 100-yearold oaks • Noah Purifoy Foundation in Joshua Tree at sunset to have the desert’s silence alter my experience of art viewing • Venice Beach at dawn to feel my insignificance just steps from my door

From white ceramics by ERIC ROINESTAD to a DIMORE STUDIO hanging light fixture, the new CASA PERFECT showroom is a design lover’s dream.

Dossier (opener)

LAUREN COLEMAN

Miles Ahead David Alhadeff knew he’d have to radically switch up the concept of his design gallery and showroom The Future Perfect for the Los Angeles market. “If everything in L.A. is destination retail, then I thought, ‘Why don’t we do something cool?’” he explains.

Enter Casa Perfect, the SoCal iteration of the tastemaking business Alhadeff founded in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2003, and subsequently moved to Manhattan. (He also opened on Sacramento Street in San Francisco four years ago.)

In stark contrast to his other locations, Alhadeff has taken over a midcentury stunner in the Hollywood Hills for a by-appointmentonly “very private and very curated” experience. The 1957 post-andbeam house is indeed an ideal setting in which to advance The Future Perfect’s collaborative design universe, starting with Lisa Eisner’s line of organically shaped furniture hardware made with Commune, and outdoor planters by ceramist Jonathan Cross. “We want to enrich this space with what’s local, and then bring that back to our other stores,” Alhadeff says. 323-202-2025; thefutureperfect.com. • JESSICA RITZ SPRING HOME 2017 C 15

“Growing up, my grandma was into giving me these little ornate porcelain Limoges boxes from France,” says artist and Carpinteria native Rebekah Miles. “They were always in my mind, and I thought, I want to make things that feel like heirlooms, but new.”

Working out of a studio in Ojai near the home she shares with her boyfriend and fellow ceramist Mark Churchill, the trained painter, Echo Park Craft Fair regular and Rodarte collaborator (she teamed with the designers for a series of original hand-painted book covers) creates illustrative, hand-built ceramic objects. Emblazoned with her own trademark iconography inspired by everything from an early-19th-century antique Mexican bingo set to books on native plants and wildflowers, each is poetically rendered in mason stains and colored slips worthy of preserving for years to come.

Influenced equally by a coastal Mediterranean aesthetic and Old Hollywood glamour, Ralph Lauren Home’s new bedding and textiles collection, Mulholland Drive, manifests a refined color palette of champagne, sand and opal in decorative gold beaded pillows, suede and raw silk shams, embroidered sateen sheets, and a silk jacquard throw with hand-knotted fringe—subtle shimmer woven throughout. Like everything Ralph Lauren does, the offering is an elegant and modern take on the traditional—what more could you ask for from a bedmate? 444 N. Rodeo Dr., B.H., 310-281-7200.

SOURCE MATERIAL Studio Woven, the new collection by venerable rug gallery Woven, was inspired by the company’s enviable inventory of antique and vintage styles. “We are creating modern designs that mix cultural references, materials and techniques,” says Sam Moradzadeh, creative director of the collection and principal of Woven. Moroccan tribal patterns and Bauhausesque blocks get a West Coast revamp via loose forms and shades of sand, sky and water. “California is a unique landscape,” says Christina Tullock, Woven’s design director. “You can create new beginnings. These styles harness that energy.” 8674 Melrose Ave., W.H., 310-652-6520.

Soft Landing

As founder and principal designer of MASHstudios—the design firm behind the creative offices of Pinterest, Uber and Yelp—Bernard Brucha noticed there was a bit of a hole in the market for flexible larger seating options. In response, Brucha’s team has unveiled a new sofa line through MASHstudios’ offshoot brand, LAXseries furniture company. With their thoughtful, fluid arrangements, the Point Dume, PCH and Wade sofas are well suited to the office, of course, but also translate perfectly to home environments.

Made locally from natural and sustainably sourced materials, the welcoming yet tailored sofas are sold online, as well as by appointment at the firm’s new studio and showroom.

“Everything is made contract-grade and intended to last. It’s not supposed to be a two-year sofa,” Brucha says. 2611 W. Exposition Blvd., L.A.; 310-313-4700.

“They’re straddling this line of nothing looking too new but everything looking clean and modern,” she notes.

Along with home projects (she’s finishing up new builds from Ojai to Connecticut), she’s also growing her line of custom furnishings (think vintage rug-upholstered ottomans and white-oak coffee tables) at her newly expanded store, plotting a range of home accessories and bedding, and releasing her debut coffee-table tome, The California Eclectic.

LEWIS AND KITCHENS (2): TESSA NEUSTADT

Growing up between her parents’ houses in Malibu—her father’s clean-lined glass structure and her mother’s bohemian, textilefilled retreat—interiors whiz Amber Lewis wasn’t just traveling to opposite ends of the coastal enclave, but also the design spectrum. “My aesthetic is 100 percent my environment,” says the 35-year-old, whose way with blending disparate crisp and textured elements resulted in her quick-fire design-world ascent (and insatiable Pinterest following) upon launching her namesake firm in 2013. The designer claims an influential blog and more than 300,000 Instagram followers, and helms an e-commerce and Calabasas brick-andmortar, Shoppe by Amber Interiors, to boot.

While her penchant for punchy, pinktinged interiors is what landed her on the map, Lewis has since shifted to a fresh, neutral palette. Nowhere is this more evident than in the newly transformed kitchen of the Calabasas home she shares with her husband and business partner, Mike, and their young daughter, Gwyneth. The space, which she dubs “eclectic modern farmhouse,” abounds with earthy materials including Calacatta marble, whitewashed wood, black limestone and rustic floating

LEO'S OYSTER BAR, Ken Fulk

Tropical patterns, textures and color joyfully comingle at LEO’S OYSTER BAR.

“We all want interesting, beautiful, engaging experiences,” says Ken Fulk. And yet, leave it to the event-planning and interior-design whiz to also give people what they didn’t know they wanted. His collaboration with Anna Weinberg of Big Night Restaurant Group, Leo’s Oyster Bar, instantly became a hot spot in San Francisco’s Financial District when it opened in January 2016, garnering accolades from all corners. With an Instagramready wall of bold tropical floral wallpaper, a bar enveloped in onyx, brass and rich wood paneling, and other sumptuous dining-room details—plus the adjoining Tiki Lounge and The Hideaway lounge spaces—Leo’s offers “an intoxicating mix,” says Fulk. It’s the work of an optimistic storyteller who might love the drama of the past, but continues to look ahead. “We are forward thinking. I never think the best times were behind us.” Cheers to that. leossf.com; kenfulk.com.

For Cafe Birdie, Breer and business partner Jake Rodehuth-Harrison again embraced a narrative-based process.

“Birdie was a woman who was born in Cuba, emigrated to Miami and moved to New Orleans with her French husband,” Breer explains. The designer’s loose, Old World aesthetic incorporates a custom seafoam green from Portola Paints & Glazes, Simon LeComte of NewMade LA’s streamlined copper and acrylic lighting, and other details created by jack-of-all-trades ace Carlos Anthony Lopez. Up next: Oriel restaurant in Chinatown and Hotel Covell’s expansion, both with Covell owner and hospitality entrepreneur Dustin Lancaster. cafebirdiela.com; etcforshort.com.

LOQUITA, Doug Washington

LOQUITA mixes elements that reference Spain and Santa Barbara’s unique C 24 FALL HOME 2015 cultural heritage.

Sherry Villanueva’s vision has helped transform buzzy neighborhood the Funk Zone from a scrappy warehouse district to a must-visit destination in Santa Barbara, thanks to the stellar food and wine offerings she’s developed through Acme Hospitality. Given this community’s unorthodox history, it’s not surprising that the designer behind its most popular venues, Doug Washington, isn’t technically a trained restaurant architect or interior designer, but instead a successful restaurateur who hails from S.F. (Town Hall, Salt House, Anchor & Hope). The latest in Acme’s portfolio (The Lark, Les Marchands, Lucky Penny, Helena Avenue Bakery) is Loquita, a laid-back Spanish restaurant located on State Street, in a position that serves as a gateway of sorts to the buzzy Funk Zone neighborhood. Of his stylistic approach, Washington says, “You really feel Spain when you’re in Santa Barbara,” so he endeavored “to be light-handed with references.” Wall-mounted antique copper paella pans inside and the patio fireplace clad with 3,000 sardine tins keep the centuries-old dialogue between California and Spain going. loquitasb.com; Doug Washington, 415-533-5583.

SAN FRANCISCO

TARTINE MANUFACTORY, Charles Hemminger, Hemminger Architects “Many chefs and restaurateurs have a keen sense of design,” Charles Hemminger says. “It’s a misconception that interior designers and architects are in a vacuum. It’s a dialogue that goes on.” Through his work at places that land at the top of any S.F. food pilgrimage itinerary, such as State Bird Provisions, Outerlands and Cala, the architect knows how to translate culinary creatives’ visions into three dimensions.

“The initial idea with Chad [Robertson] and Liz [Prueitt] was to create a workshop that’s an extension of the whole Heath project,” he says of Tartine Manufactory, a restaurant, bakery and cafe from the couple behind Tartine Bakery, set inside the Heath Ceramics complex—a project for which Hemminger’s firm collaborated with Commune Design. The challenge and opportunity was to “let people come in and see the production. They want to feel a part of the vibe of people working, the smells, the visuals.” To wit, at the center is the literal and figurative heart of the Manufactory operation: a giant oven. tartinemanufactory.com; Hemminger Architects, 415-378-7046.

GRATITUDE, Wendy Haworth

Insider (bits)

Arguably no restaurant group better reflects the grain bowl-dominated times we’re living in than Love Serve Remember. CEO Lisa Bonbright brought Wendy Haworth on board to design the group’s Venice location of renowned vegan eatery Cafe Gratitude in 2012, and they’ve been together ever since, creating a sophisticated visual sense to go hand in hand with the restaurants’ plant-based menus.

There’s “a vocabulary” that Haworth has established in approaching the interiors of sister restaurants (including the West Hollywood hot spot Gracias Madre): natural upholsteries, one-of-a-kind goods (macrame wall hangings, pottery) and earthy elements. Gratitude, a more upscale concept in Newport Beach, showcases Haworth’s preferred bright palette and the handmade components she sources (origami lighting fixtures by The California Workshop, Matthew Ward ceramic planters).

Haworth’s other recent projects include neighborhood restaurant Winsome in Echo Park and the highly anticipated Felix on Abbot Kinney from chef Evan Funke, plus a forthcoming Gratitude in Beverly Hills. cafegratitude.com; wendyhaworthdesign.com.

WEST HOLLYWOOD

GRATITUDE’s interiors in Newport Beach bring an ideal mix of laid-back, breezy and sophisticated design, with one-of-a-kind components.

John Sofio is keenly aware of his weakness for Jazz Age fantasy, and the cliches that could come with it. “I wanted to avoid your typical Gatsbyesque room, and create a modern version of Art Deco today,” says Sofio about envisioning and constructing the deluxe Delilah supper club in West Hollywood. The founder of design-build firm Built, Inc. took an intensive field trip to a landmark that’s loaded with treasures and steeped in romantic lure: the Queen Mary in Long Beach. In addition to the famed ocean liner, Sofio drew inspiration from the compact bar swathed in green-hued stone at the Parker Palm Springs, and from as far away as Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed columns in the Johnson Wax Headquarters building in Wisconsin. To achieve Delilah’s contemporary polish, “every corner, every detail is pulled together,” he explains. It helps that Built, Inc. fabricated almost all the components in-house for Delilah—not to mention The Nice Guy, the new Peppermint Club and the other evocative rooms he’s shaped. delilahla.com; builtinc.com.

Welcome Home West Coast interiors can’t be pigeonholed into a single, geographically designated aesthetic (à la French chateau or Tuscan villa). There are as many ways to manifest inspiration from Californian surroundings as there are styles that represent the Golden State, from modern barn to bohemian beach to wine-country retreat, to name but a few.

This issue of C Home is a perfect example of the ways in which locale, architecture and personal taste comingle to create one-of-a-kind homes. Take the Malibu dwelling of gallerist and ultimate cool guy Ray Azoulay: Sparingly designed with curated art and furniture, it’s anything but typical “seaside style” (not a shell in sight!). And it is the mix of family-friendly fun and highbrow art that sets the stage for lighthearted living in Sydney Holland’s L.A. home. From the moment you walk in the door, you know you are in for a good time. Or consider the Paul Vincent Wiseman-designed wine-country getaway for the deWilde family in Sonoma; I’m not sure there’s a better setting in which to relax and entertain.

There is much in this spring issue that celebrates living life on the West Coast in style—however you choose to express it in your own surrounds.

The facade of Ray Azoulay’s Malibu abode is, by his own admission, “an awful textured green.” The antiquarian behind the rarefied Culver City design showroom Obsolete, whose clients include Diane Keaton, Ellen DeGeneres and Takashi Murakami, made a conscious decision to leave the offending celadon hue intact when he moved into the house in June.

“Houses in Malibu all do something to say, ‘Here I am,’ and I didn’t want to do that yet,” he says, answering the door in a gray roll-neck cashmere sweater, charcoal twill pants and white Rick Owens high-tops, capped off with a Supreme hat emblazoned with the face of Felix the Cat. “I like that it remains so innocuous; it reminds me of cool places in [Manhattan’s] East Village, where the storefront is X, and you go in and it’s something completely different.”

Max Richter’s ambient neoclassical album Sleep hums in the background, intermingling with the crashing of the waves. “Just when you think it’s not going to come, it does,” says Azoulay, an obsessive swimmer (“it’s more therapy than exercise”) of the reassuringly constant sound of the ocean’s advance and retreat.

The Long Island native, who has lived in Los Angeles since 1999 (when he left a post in New York as director of menswear design at Liz Claiborne to decamp to Venice to be with his then-boyfriend), moved here from a loft in Marina del Rey—“there was a homeowner’s association there,” he explains wryly.

Azoulay is clearly not the sort of person to be governed by others’ rules and regulations. “A lot of people build

Rather than outfit a guest room for outof-towners, or a dining space for hypothetical dinner parties, he installed a sleek upstairs screening room (he is an avowed cinephile) and a kitchen whose counter space is readily compromised by the bell-jar display of an exploded dolphin skull from Paris taxidermy shop Deyrolle.

Above it, a black-and-white photograph by Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison—artists he represents through the fine-art arm of Obsolete, Slete Gallery—depicts an anonymous man picking his way through a gauntlet of tires.

From top: The native oak trees provide shade for guests to dine on the north terrace. Weathered teak chairs and table are from the Kelso collection by MUNDER SKILES. The open kitchen takes its cues from the sturdy California farmhouse tradition—welcoming wine-tasting, cooking and gathering.

Surrounded by wild woodlands fragrant with ancient oaks, cypress and manzanitas, Katherine and David deWilde’s elegant board-and-batten weekend house looks as if it has weathered many fine seasons and sheltered generations.

The residence, an example of classic California farmhouse vernacular architecture, was completed in 2011. As the beloved weekend retreat of the deWildes and their children, grandchildren and

multitudes of family friends, it’s beginning a new era.

The four-bedroom main house, which surrounds a courtyard, was originally built by Reiter Fine Home Building, and is sited on a gentle slope to capture allday sun. Located about a one-hour drive north of San Francisco, the property is surrounded by Chardonnay vineyards.

“I loved the simplicity and rustic charm of the house on sight, and even before we

had closed escrow, I started planning new tennis courts, a bocce court, hiking trails through the woodlands, and my ‘field of dreams’ for Wiffle ball,” says Katherine, a bank executive.

nett Associates was enlisted to reposition the central entry to create a favorite new sunroom/study, a place for late-night card games.

The house and additional guesthouses and barn now meander like a cluster of impromptu farm buildings among the olive and oak trees.

“Country houses and barns in California were always practical, sturdy and unpretentious, and built to have a close and respectful connection with the land,” says Wiseman, who grew up on a farm in

the Sacramento River Delta. “The ‘farmhouse’ concept was our starting point for redesigning the deWildes’ house. It has straightforward pale gray locally quarried stone fireplaces, terra cotta-tinted concrete floors, hand-plastered walls, and handsome timbers, all very natural and low-key.”

The updated furnishings conjure a clean-lined traditional feeling punctuated by modern statements. Softly colored textured linen, and hemp and Moroccan rugs in hand-dyed tones are

scattered throughout.

“We escape from summer fog in the city and, surrounded by family, we play games and explore the woodland. It’s the perfect setting to renew the psyche,” says Katherine. “David and I love it most when our children and grandchildren invite hordes of friends—we can sleep 30.

There’s volleyball in the pool; we play bocce for hours in the shade of an orange trumpet vine; and after dinner, we gather around the fire pit and recount our wins and discoveries and adventures.” •

Pacific Palisades-based designers Heidi Bonesteel, Michele Trout and Jill Hall are known for their stylistic mastery of laid-back glamour. Born and raised in Southern California, the designers’ spaces balance relaxed airiness with unexpected, modern touches for results imbued with seemingly effortless cool—not unlike the women themselves. (They’re those girlfriends who know the right surf spots, farmers markets, and buzzy city restaurants and boutiques.) “Our office is a tree house with ocean views, so nature really inspires us,” says Bonesteel. “But we’re 10 miles from downtown, so there’s that urban culture influence, too.”

Bonesteel and Trout drew upon their signature aesthetic for their most recent project: a luminous Newport Beach home for a family of eight. A dynamic couple with six children under the age of 10, the clients have collaborated with the designers for years. “We’ve done homes for them in Aspen, in Michigan and here in Southern California,” says Trout. “We’ve grown up together.”

The home’s decidedly traditional exterior belies the bold, beautiful design inside. “They like us to create something

Feature (tbd) different every time,” Bonesteel says.

While pushing boundaries was essential, the space is at its core a bustling family hub. “The design has to perform,” says Trout. “With six kids, it’s a very active house. We get that, as we lead that life as well.”

Just minutes from the beach and wrapped inside a greenway, the house takes full advantage of the California sunshine with towering steel-framed windows in every room. “They are super affected by light,” says Bonesteel of her clients. “We weren’t allowed to cover the windows at all. The curtains take up only a quarter-inch on either side.”

Industrial elements recur throughout, from steel railings to plastered brick walls.

“The materials are raw and beautiful, not really fancied up a lot,” Trout says. “The decorating is almost like a backdrop to the nature and the architecture itself.”

Form and function were fundamental when curating the home’s furniture and accessories, too. “The design has more of an androgynous beat to it,” says Trout, “which is part of making the house work for kids. There’s not a lot of extra things. The only furniture is what you actually need.”

Left: The owner’s home office has custom brass and walnut built-ins that house a collection of machine parts.

Because the clients favor a tight color palette (“There’s actually only one shade of blue they like,” jokes Trout), personality and punch come courtesy of bold midcentury lines, dramatic lighting and graphic Moroccan tile. And then there’s the art.

Like their relationship with Bonesteel Trout Hall, the clients have long worked with Lake Forest-based art consultant Anne Mennealy, who loves to showcase California artists. “They’re always open to the unexpected,” says Mennealy. “They love artwork that ‘owns’ the room.” Two such high-impact examples: a three-story twisted-rope installation along the stairs and a wall sculpture composed of romance novels that spell “Forever.” It seems the family bond as well as the design union grows stronger with each home. “They both care; they will stand up for what they like,” says Bonesteel. “That’s a great relationship.” •

A collection of 19th-century charcoal pieces line the wall in the master bedroom, which is designed to feel like an artist’s loft. Linens from DEBORAH SHARPE dress the bed, while a set of industrial carts serve as nightstands. In the kitchen, ceramic flooring is placed on the wall to look like wood. Glassware and dark brown French pottery grace the shelves.

You won’t find a Lucite console, bright shag rug or chrome lounger at Lee Stanton’s desert home. And it’s no accident.

The Los Angeles-based antiquarian and president of the La Cienega Design Quarter dreamed up a weekend home (he also has a residence in Laguna Beach and recently embarked on a new project in Montecito) in collaboration with his partner, Israel Serna, that defies the prevailing Palm Springs look. “The goal was to not look like the rest,” says Stanton.

Instead he and Serna filled the Indian Canyon home with Belgian and French furniture, oil and charcoal artwork, and patinaed leather and linen fabrics, pulling from his incredible collection of

eclectic and fine period pieces (highly sought after by boldface-name interior designers). “We wanted to embrace midcentury lines from a raw point of view,” Stanton says. “The sky, sand, cactus and the majestic mountains, it’s so natural.

To me…chrome, bright colors and stark white don’t relate to the landscape.”

The home, designed by Charles Dubois in the 1960s, sits on a cul-de-sac backed by a greenbelt and the San Joaquin mountain range. “The views, the straight lines of the architecture and the layout are perfect for a home away from home,” says Stanton. “We feel a connection to the desert and the mountains with their ever-changing colors.”

The interiors unfold in a charming flow of open rooms, with architectural details that have been preserved and reinvigorated thanks to Stanton’s expert mix of European antiques, industrial pieces and artwork—ranging from flea-market finds to selections from his West Hollywood showroom. “I love to showcase antiques in modern settings,” says Stanton. “It’s unconventional and it allows you to see them in a different way.”

The 19th- and 20th-century pieces pop among warm, modern woods and muted artisanal pottery. Rich finishes and subtle textures convey a layered warmth without disturbing the space’s clean lines (a Sydney Harbour paint, for example, is

In the guest bedroom, a pair of English midcentury chairs and an ebonized wood table create a serene sitting area. The mirrors were created from industrial metal pieces. The paintings are by English artist MALCOLM CHANDLER. Opposite, clockwise from top left: In the master bedroom, an early-20th-century metal chest is joined by wood and metal chairs from France.

THE WEEKENDERS

The guest bedroom is inspired by Stanton’s relatives, who were haberdashers.

“It started with a painting I found in Paris, this debonair gentleman,” he says.

“I added a quilt made of various suiting fabrics and dressed the bed in cotton stripes and gray flannel blanket.”

One of Stanton and Serna’s favorite rooms to spend time in is the den, a cool cocoon in which to nap, read, work or play games. With their days filled with hikes, shopping for vintage finds, and cocktails or lunch at favorite spots including The Parker Palm Springs and Tyler’s Burgers, the pair is thrilled to hide away here on a hot afternoon. Of course, solitude is a rare thing in these surrounds: “We see our friends more here than in L.A.,” says Stanton. “You’ll run into people in the supermarket and say, ‘Let’s have dinner tonight.’”

STAYCATION STYLE We like to dine at boutique hotels like Purple Palm Restaurant and Bar at the Colony Palms Hotel, The Parker Palm Springs or SO•PA at L’Horizon Hotel and Spa. It makes us feel like we are truly away.

LOCAL HANGTIME Coffee at Joey’s Palm Springs, lunch at Tyler’s Burgers, and dinner at Workshop Kitchen + Bar should be on every visitor’s list.

TREASURE HUNTING Palm Springs has some of the most one-of-a-kind vintage shops.

You’ll find some fantastic things at The Shops at Thirteen Forty Five and Hedge. Both are very well edited.

“If we didn’t have a backyard, it would be a problem,” says Sydney Holland, sipping a sparkling water in the living room of her expansive Mediterranean-style home while her 1-year-old twin sons, Liam and Harrison, eat breakfast with their nannies in the kitchen (her 3-year-old daughter, Alexandra, is due home at any moment).

The pronouncement follows introductions to Lucien Smith’s rain painting 7th Heaven 2, which hangs on the far wall, and the petite Jeff Koons balloon dog and Dan Colen M&M sculptures installed in her built-in bookcase: “I’m always worried they’re just going to come in here and take a marker to it all,” she says of her brood, with a laugh.

Of course, Holland does have a backyard—complete with a manicured lawn, a pool, a limestone Buddha bust, a custom oak pergola hung with Indonesian lanterns, and an array of James Perse outdoor furniture. But from the marker-free looks of things inside, her offspring have inherited a respect for the finer things from their mother, an avid collector and patron (she recently underwrote the Museum

(She also has a passion for flipping houses on the side.)

Holland made her way here in August 2014, after selling her Beverly Hills residence to actor Jennifer Lawrence. She was looking for a “more livable,” familyfriendly abode, and found it on a quiet cul-de-sac in a gated community off of Mulholland Drive. She enlisted a longtime collaborator, decorator Tracie Butler, for the project. “We have the same appreciation for aesthetics—we’ve always connected,” says Butler, who has worked on five residences with Holland.

The results blend California bohemian moments with all-out modern glamour (think pervasive natural crystals and geodes crossed with vintage Persian rugs, mirrored velvet ottomans and custom Louis Vuitton luggage furniture). It’s ultimately a backdrop for Holland’s museumworthy art collection, which covers every surface of the 8,000-plus-square-foot digs: from the checkerboard limestone-floored entryway, where Tracey Emin’s Trust Yourself light sculpture shares space with Wes Lang’s Perfect From Now On and John Baldessari’s portrait of Karl Lagerfeld; to the dining room, furnished with a Jean de Merry chandelier and Chris Levine’s holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Lightness of Being, Marilyn Minter’s Deluge and Ed Ruscha’s That Was Then This Is Now. Even her children’s rooms are outfitted with works by Ruscha, Paul Rusconi, Yoshitomo Nara and Urs Fischer.

Her latest conquest, a quartet of colordrenched Beatles portraits by Richard Avedon, has yet to be hung—she rushes over to her office to offer a sneak preview. As she lifts one of the frames aloft to showcase it in all its glory, she considers the method behind her obsession—she may not have a “type,” per se, but there is a definite strategy at play: “I buy what I like—I don’t ever buy for an investment,” she says, as she reverently returns it to its box. “I buy art to keep it.” •

LAUDED DESIGNERS SHARE THEIR CALIFORNIA MOOD Designed by HOWARD BACKEN and his team at Backen, Gillam & Kroeger Architects, THE MEADOWOOD SPA pays homage to the unique Napa terrain, one that the noted architect knows intimately having designed several residential and commercial projects in the area throughout his career.

HOWARD BACKEN “The oak tree at The Meadowood Spa is iconic. Whenever something like that exists, we use it as the starting point of where to enter. You’ll notice a similar tree feature at the Solage resort, as well as the big oak tree at The Napa Valley Reserve. The Meadowood Spa reflects and respects the landscape: simple, rustic-modern structures with a natural essence and flow. It’s truly special and awakens all of the senses.”
