FOUNDER’S LETTER

One of the best parts of residing in California is that we have the luxury of being able to really, fully live in our homes (enjoying the outdoors and indoors together). Our houses are not just places for sleeping and eating, but extensions of ourselves.

For years, we have been publishing biannual special issues of C Home to great accolades. But, with a more limited print run, we realized the need to share our in-depth interiors coverage with our broader C audience. By combining the talents of our editors and the access we have to some of the finest designers in the business (who happen to be based on the West Coast!), we’ve decided to dedicate this April (and October) issue to a comprehensive look at all things home in the Golden State.

Which brings me back to one’s own abode, and on a more personal matter, my house specifically.

Having lived in California for years, I am used to minor natural disasters happening occasionally, and have had to evacuate numerous times over the last few decades. I’ve become a pro at sizing up the top five things I need to take at a moment’s notice. This “laundry list” of sorts puts most things into perspective as far as what is truly important in life. So, after having been evacuated from my hometown this winter due to Montecito’s devastating fires and subsequent mudslides, I thought it would be business as usual when packing up the necessities.

But, as the situation in Montecito became unthinkably dangerous, I realized this was a scenario unto itself. The days following the tragedy on Jan. 9th were filled with making sure friends were OK, and watching the community come together in the most beautiful ways, with neighbors helping neighbors.

My family was, most importantly, safe, but as for my home, it took two weeks to find out if all of the things I had collected throughout my life were intact or under mud. I had to detach from the idea of home and all its mementos.

When I did hear word that our house had been basically untouched, I was beyond thankful, knowing other dear friends had lost so much. Ironically, it was during our return home, as I walked through each room, that it hit me just how much it really takes for a house to become a home.

Each piece makes up the sum of the parts of my magical retreat—from the antique tapestry that I inherited from my late father to the campaign daybed I coveted for so long until I finally invested in it.

I walked through the rooms and saw them in a different light—one of pure gratitude. All these things together create a sense of place that grounds me.

This issue is full of homes, north and south, that do just that for their owners, reflecting their passions, collections and memories. At the end of the day, it’s just stuff. And yet, it’s also so much more.

Cliff Fong

Anchored by vintage treasures, the warm, livable residences styled by Cliff Fong are a testament to the Los Angeles-based decorator’s unrivaled instinct. It’s been more than 20 years since the self-taught interior designer swapped a career in fashion for home decor, wooing clients, such as the notoriously nomadic Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, with his classic configurations. Fong co-founded Galerie Half in 2009, and today lends his magic touch to private and commercial spaces through his design studio, Matt Blacke Inc. mattblackeinc.com.

NATHAN TURNER serves his Boho Garden Brunch in Carpinteria.

Full Plate Well-versed in all things California casual-glam, Nathan Turner is a beloved fixture on Los Angeles’ interiors scene, known for creating relaxed, character-rich spaces for celebrities, tastemakers and friends. He is also an avid home cook and entertainer. Parties at

his eponymous shop—shuttered in late 2016—were legendary.

His passions for California, cooking and stylish settings come together in the aptly titled new book, Nathan Turner’s I Love California: Live, Eat, and Entertain the West Coast Way (Abrams, $40). A natural

host and aesthete, Turner has planned gatherings around memorable tables for as long as he can remember. (Born and raised in Northern California, the designer spent summers at his grandparents’ ranch near Stockton, and has lived and worked in L.A. for the past 20 years.)

APRIL 2018 C 37

The title interweaves memories, inspiration and ingredients from around the Golden State (the book is divided into Northern, Central and Southern California sections), presenting a modern approach to entertaining that’s completely translatable: “It’s my love letter to my home state—a celebration of how we live, eat and entertain here,” he says.

The comfort-food menus take readers on a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. There are twists on seafood in Sausalito and Tomales Bay, artichoke and cauliflower dishes inspired by the farms of the Central Valley, and SoCal classics like fish tacos and citrus margaritas.

The tables are relaxed and welcoming, with bold hits of colors, patterns and textures that echo each locale, such as embossed leather napkin rings for a lunch at Malibu’s One Gun Ranch, or bright paper flowers for a fiesta in Rancho Santa Fe.

Royal Affair Chef Ari Taymor racked up awards since opening his lauded Alma restaurant in Downtown L.A. in 2012. Now after some career twists and turns, the Bay Area native is back with Little Prince, a weekend-only brunch and cocktails pop-up in Santa Monica. “Brunch is one of my favorite meals to cook,” Taymor says. “The vibe is casual and fun, people are happy, and there’s so much freedom in terms of what to make.” Taymor’s creative liberties manifest in dishes such as not-your-average green chia pudding with sorrel and coconut, smoked brisket and Anson Mills grits, and beverages including a michelada made with Asahi Super Dry, charred tomatillo and yuzu kosho. 2424 Main St., S.M.; littleprince.la.

Turner smartly balances the aspirational and the accessible for readers who want to re-create the fun. For him, the carefree formula works anywhere, he says, adding, “It means a laid-back room, a friendly host, and a beautiful table with simple recipes and fresh ingredients.”

Tapert Howe 12.

When interior designer Georgia Tapert Howe got married in 2010, a life in Los Angeles was not the obvious trajectory for the native New Yorker. Yet months later, while her writerdirector husband, Lou, was working on his first feature-length film, he asked her if she’d be interested in giving L.A. a shot.

“We decided to try it for two months and never left,” Tapert Howe says. Now, seven years on, and at the helm of her namesake design firm, the Hancock Park resident is as enamored with the Golden State’s climate as she is with its modern architecture. Recurring midcentury elements—say a Jean Prouvé table or a set of Pierre Paulin chairs—weave their way throughout Tapert Howe’s otherwise classically elegant aesthetic, honed under design luminaries such as the founders of HaynesRoberts, Timothy Haynes and Kevin Roberts, and Mica Ertegun. Here, Tapert Howe lets us in on what else is catching her well-trained eye. georgiataperthowe.com. • GILLIAN KOE N IG

Clean LOOK After two years in a temporary kitchen built from custom-fitted shipping containers, Thomas Keller has a new workspace.

And it’s a beauty. The architecture team of Oslo- and New York-based Snøhetta, in collaboration with Berkeley firm EnvelopeA+D, studied the way The French Laundry’s cooks worked and came up with

C 42 APRIL 2018

a design that reflects their process. Skylights flood the white-on-white room with natural light, and the ceiling undulates like a gently flung tablecloth. Acoustics and open sight lines enhance communication. It’s the Napa Valley after all, so the low-slung building clad in charred wood features a ribbon window inviting cooks to gaze at the courtyard garden as they work. A separate annex houses offices, a test kitchen, a butchery and, most importantly, the Michelin three-star restaurant’s breathtaking wine collection. Public interiors including the dining room were refreshed by KallosTurin, and even the iconic blue painted door that welcomes guests to the property got a fresh coat of paint. 6640 Washington St., Yountville, 707-944-2380; frenchlaundry.com.

Move It The Bay Area goes bananas for dance this month. First, San Francisco Ballet hosts The National Ballet of Canada as they perform Nijinsky, a ballet

by John Neumeier (April 3-8). Considered by many to be the greatest male dancer of the 20th century, Nijinsky was something of an obsession for American choreographer Neumeier, who crafted the ballet as a biography of the tortured dancer. Later, “Unbound: A Festival of New Works” (April 20-May 6), brings 12 choreographers to work with the

company, including the director of the Houston Ballet, Stanton Welch, and Lines Ballet’s Alonzo King, plus wunderkind Christopher Wheeldon, and Belgian-Columbian Annabelle Lopez Ochoa.

LOS ANGELES

EAST MEETS WEST Veronica Beard has come a long way since it debuted its signature Dickey Jacket (a tailored blazer with interchangeable fronts) in 2010, which became an instant staple for Manhattan moms-on-the-go.

After opening two brick-and-mortars in New York, co-designers, co-founders and sisters-in-law Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard have brought their offerings to a storefront in Dallas and, now, Los Angeles.

In an age of minimal and muted retail environments, Veronica Beard is sticking to eclectic maximalism, mixing patterns and styles in a way that feels coherent, timeless and lived-in. Inside the Melrose Place emporium, there’s a familiar medley of leopard print, pops of fuchsia and tropical palm-print wallpaper to echo the garden out front.

The duo’s penchant for mixing styles is always reflected in their collection, too. This spring, inspired by 1970s Acapulco, miniskirts, maxi dresses and palazzo pants are infused with preppy plaids, stripes and micro-floral prints.

Gearing up to open the new store, the pair has leaned westward. They photographed the spring collection in Malibu, launched denim last year (all of which is produced in Los Angeles) and collaborated with local illustrator Donald Robertson on a set of votive candles and a series of jean jackets, the latter of which will be sold exclusively at the new address.

It all goes to show that east and west can beautifully coexist under one roof.

BIG MANWH ONSchnabel CAMPUS AHEAD OF JULIAN SCHNABEL’S LEGION OF HONOR EXHIBIT, THE ARTIST BEHIND THE MYTH SHOWS WHAT HE’S REALLY MADE OF

Julian Schnabel, the personality, tends to overshadow Julian Schnabel, the artist.

After all, he’s notorious for living a big life: He’s had multiple wives, girlfriends and kids; was an Oscar nominee for directing The Diving Bell and the Butterfly; is exhibited widely in Europe; and lives in a spectacular Venetian-inspired building in New York City called Palazzo Chupi, aka the “pink palace.” But the instant you walk into his home, you realize the multitalented man is much more than his internet track record.

In January, Schnabel opened his infamous domicile and ground-floor studio

C 48 APRIL 2018

to select journalists to show off work soon to be presented at the Legion of Honor, an endeavor thanks to Max Hollein, the director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Hollein, who has known Schnabel for many years and brought his work to the Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2004, wanted Schnabel’s paintings, which skillfully “create tension between the classical and the contemporary art context,” he says.

The Palazzo Chupi provides a compendium of Schnabel’s sensibilities of color, humor, and classical and abstract elements. The bottom floor, which features a pool and a gallery space with walls lined in wood milled from Brooklyn, gives way to more intimate rooms as you venture upstairs. The walls are painted in aggressive, fearless colors: cerulean blue, Kelly green, shocking pink.

“I choose them by instinct,” Schnabel says emphatically. The space is crammed

with his art, as well as pieces by his famous arty friends, among them Albert Oehlen and Jake Chapman.

Exotic objects ground the rooms: a large animal skull (which resembles a crocodile) is placed in front of a cream-colored divan and a painting from his “Recognitions” series; a sculpture of Schnabel by friend Urs Fischer sits adjacent to two grand pianos (one crafted by Tom Sachs with a giant Jimi Hendrix amp nestled inside). The library even features Schnabel’s take on a Picasso. “I once went to Cy Twombly’s house and he had a ‘Picasso’ that he had painted, Continued on p.134

A SARTORIAL ODYSSEY INSIDE DESIGNER ALIONA KONONOVA’S LARCHMONT POP-UP STUDIO

Designs from ALIONA KONONOVA’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection.

“I love neoprene for experimental pieces,” says Moldovan fashion designer Aliona Kononova, dressed in the space-age material as she parses the last details of her newest designs. “The fabric itself has a bit of life, like pencils that make the letters look rounder and everything suddenly looks more beautiful.” Kononova’s pop-up atelier, called Visitors, a cozy new Larchmont space for her Spring/Summer 2018 collection and custom pieces, is the latest in a series of temporary studios around Los Angeles, the city she’s called home for the past five years. Set on a shaded street just off Melrose, the spot is lined with stark racks holding colorful and decidedly modern frocks. Kononova, who is

also an accomplished milliner, pulls on a new circular white hat and nods to herself in approval. She favors angular shapes and unexpected fabrics, having combed vintage shops and the Rose Bowl Flea Market for the deco chairs (reupholstered in a charmingly offbeat baby duck-patterned fabric) and midcentury lamps inside her space.

The designer trained and worked in Milan for 13 years before collaborating with master milliner Stephen Jones, and credits Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey as a frequent source of inspiration. Although the film’s futuristic Pan Am uniforms and hats could seamlessly fit in Kononova’s design universe, she’s most obsessed with the plot’s central idea of a computer developing its own consciousness. Her spring collection explores the concept of inanimate objects becoming aware. The looks on display inside Visitors are directly inspired by another sci-fi masterpiece, Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris, and can also be custom-ordered. “The dresses visit you, they’re part of you,” she says. “It feels as if you’ve somehow created them—they’ve come from you, just like the dreams in the film.” By appointment only. 665 Lillian Way, L.A., 323318-0879; alionakononova.com.

Peter Philips, color master and creative and image director of Christian Dior Makeup, looked to the City of Angels for inspiration when creating Dior Addict Lacquer Plump, the newest addition to the cult-status Dior Addict line. “L.A., known for its amazing light and its cool, relaxed attitude, is a platform for

self-expression and creativity,” Philips explains. “The Dior Addict line is where we play the most with effects and textures. The goal was to offer something surprising, different,” he adds. “Lacquer Plump is a liquid, but applies as gloss, which creates a different sensation. And the stain formula means that the color

tint will last much longer.” The line comes in a variety of hues, from classics to neon colors. His advice on choosing shades? “Glossy gives an on-the-go kind of look, while glitter lips show your sparkly side. Be careful [whom] you kiss,” Philips cautions. “Not everyone appreciates a glitter trace!” dior.com. • K . A.

“If we aren’t freethinkers here in the Wild West, where else is it going to happen?” asks Azadeh Shladovsky with a laugh. Los Angeles provides this Tehran-born interior designer, artist and motorcyclist the space to pursue her

creative truth. Through her high-concept furniture and object collections, Shladovsky has always challenged people to see differently.

The themes of vision and perception are recurring ones for her, since a brain tumor tragically stole her daughter’s vision, and ultimately her life, almost a decade ago.

Shladovsky’s latest collection, Qualia, directly engages the braille alphabet—the silhouettes of her pieces mimic the symbols for specific letters. (For instance, a blue Dedar velvet chaise with a rolled backrest “reads” as the letter I.) The designer enlists talented local artisans to execute every detail—including hand-turning brass and casting acrylic, and color-matching paint to a range of jewel-tone fabrics. “If you know my work, you know me.

It’s always a reflection of where I am in my life.” It’s clear that Shladovsky is in a beautiful place. By appointment only. 3645 10th Ave., L.A., 310-454-7139; azadehshladovsky.com.

With a San Francisco showroom under his belt, Alhadeff expanded his West Coast presence in 2017 by opening Casa Perfect, a design-gallery that recently relocated from the Hollywood Hills to the former residence of Elvis Presley, a 1958 Trousdale Estates house designed by architect Rex Lotery. Original Hollywood Regency-style details mix with works by lighting designer Lindsey Adelman, contemporary furniture designer Piet Hein Eek, artist and furniture maker Chris Wolston and ceramic artist Reinaldo Sanguino. “Californians are so open to the new ideas we represent,” Alhadeff observes. “And there’s something special about the light.” By appointment only.

OBSOLETE “The past decade in California has seen a major shift away from midcentury design.

The landscape has evolved into a complex mixture of styles with projects that balance important 20th-century design with more primitive and classical pieces. This evolution would not have been possible without the artistic industries that thrive in Los Angeles. I expect design in California to continuously evolve and become even more complex.” —Ray Azoulay, owner 11270 Washington Blvd., Culver City, 310399-0024; obsoleteinc.com. A . S .

ECHO PARK

HAVING A MOMENT With posts at renowned firms in Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Echo Park architect-designer Emily Farnham had worked on high-profile projects, but longed for a closer connection to design and clients. She’s now making her mark on projects such as actor Mandy Moore’s midcentury Pasadena home, designed

by Harold Zook. Drawn to spaces with a notable past, Harvard-educated Farnham reinvigorates them with a thoughtful, elegant style. “I push for one big gesture in a space while seeing the value of the quiet background.” Raised in New England, her influences range from architects

Vision Quest Architect Grant C. Kirkpatrick has delighted clients, including Tom Hanks and Matt Damon, with his unique brand of modern living.

After 30 years and hundreds of custom residences, he showcases six of his designs in California Contemporary: The Houses of Grant C. Kirkpatrick and KAA Design (Princeton Architectural Press, $55). “The sunlight, the color of the sky, the California canvas, that is the inspiration for my work,” says the third-generation Californian.

“It’s the golden land of dreams and these are dream homes.” Among the sublime spaces: a nautically inspired home perched on the Pacific, a tree house connected by pavilions and gardens, and the author’s own property, Split Rock Ranch, set against a rambling Central Coast vineyard. “Our environments connect us to essential elements of life,” says Kirkpatrick, “nature, legacy and delight.” kaadesigngroup.com.

French Ambassador Chef Dominique Crenn, the dynamo behind the Michelin two-star Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, bursts into the restaurant’s tiny kitchen. Instead of creating ethereal dishes for the Atelier’s tast-

ing menu, her team is testing recipes for Bar Crenn, the chef’s new wine bar next door, and up next is les pommes moulées.

the Charlotte but you cannot get that here.

Now, we’re trying Yukons.”

Getting it right is important. Bar Crenn’s menu is a celebration of French gastronomy and Crenn personally requested the recipes from the greats: Paul Bocuse.

Alain Ducasse. Yannick Alléno. Guy Savoy. Les pommes moulées came from Guillaume Gomez, chef to the French President Emmanuel Macron (for whom Crenn cooked last year). The bar itself is an elegant homage to the past, modeled on a 1920s lounge and filled with antiques and crystal chandeliers, books and art, with almost no wine bottles in sight. They are below, in the cellar: a brilliant list of 200 selections by producers that, as Crenn puts it, “have something to say:” from Littorai’s Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir to Domaine Leflaive’s Pucelles Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet White Burgundy.

The bar is ambitious—three years in

the making, Crenn says—but it turns out to be just “the appetizer” for what lies ahead this year. A few months ago, she bought a farm in Sonoma, where she grows the produce for her burgeoning empire of San Francisco restaurants.

Root Project, a coffee initiative in Haiti dedicated to replanting coffee trees on the island, is producing beans that she uses in the restaurants. She will expand it into a distinct operation next year, part of what will be her biggest project yet.

Called Boutique Crenn, the 5,000-squarefoot space will open on the ground floor of the Salesforce Tower, the tallest building in the city, and combine food, art and fashion, all with a focus on sustainability.

And, as if that weren’t enough, Crenn also has a memoir due out later this year from Penguin Random House. In it, she will talk about things she has said little about publicly—namely the #MeToo movement, which she has preferred to address with projects like her Women in Food dinner series at Petit Crenn, featuring Niki Nakayama, Nancy Silverton, Barbara Lynch and many others. “It sold out in two minutes,” she says Continued on p.134

EAT THIS City

A NEW COOKBOOK PRESENTS A CULINARY SNAPSHOT OF LOS ANGELES “A friend once said that I am the type of person who would eat a carrot straight from the ground without brushing off the dirt,” says food and travel writer (and former C senior editor) Alison Clare Steingold, author of this month’s release The L.A. Cookbook (Rizzoli New York, $40). “They’re kinda right, in spirit,” she admits. “And this book is like that: It’s about giving context for the contents… the people, the neighborhoods, the markets—the flavor of the city that’s allowing the chefs in these restaurants to thrive.”

Each chapter’s name is an insider’s nod to the city itself: from the droughtreferencing “Conserve Water,” which is devoted to cocktails, to the KCRW-riffing “Morning Becomes Eclectic,” focusing on brunch. The book features 100 recipes from the town’s most talked-about spots, including Bestia, Animal, Trois Mec, Madcapra and Pizzeria Mozza. There are also renowned dishes such as Matsuhisa’s black cod in miso, a Josef Albers-inspired infographic ode to iterations of avocado toast served across town, and an exclusive recipe from noted pizzaiolo Noel Brohner (consultant to the likes of Felix’s Evan Funke) for slow-rise pizza dough.

Not featured? The ubiquitous kale salad. “That was a discussion with my editor,” she admits. “It was my only protest. And there’s a whole chapter called

C 88 APRIL 2018

‘Beyond the Kale,’ which is about breaking with cliché…That’s partly why this book felt necessary: to separate from some of that hot air—like, what’s the hype and what feels more authentic?”

Instead, Steingold sought out lessexpected traditions: Little Dom’s cauliflower risotto, for example, and Joan’s on Third’s bright, fresh take on beets and burrata. “I also had a total panic toward the end of putting the book together when I realized there wasn’t an olive oil cake [included],” she confesses with a laugh. (For the record, Little Flower supplies a decadent version with brown-butter frosting.) “I could not have this cookbook without it,” she adds of the recurring staple at the city’s buzziest haunts. “It’s just so L.A.” • M EL I SSA G OL DST EI N

FOLLOWING AN EXTRAVAGANT RENOVATION, THE HÔTEL DE CRILLON IS REBORN AS AN ODE TO PARISIAN HISTORY

ROSEWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

Ceramist PETER LANE created a mural for the hotel’s updated pool area, designed by decorator CHAHAN MINASSIAN. Above: Forty different types of marble were used in the HÔTEL DE CRILLON, A ROSEWOOD HOTEL’s remodeling, spearheaded by designers TRISTAN AUER, CYRIL VERGNIOL, ALINE ASMAR D’AMMAN and Minassian.

EDITED BY LESLEY McKENZIE

Behind the palatial exterior of the Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, 260 years of history reverberate throughout the halls.

The fabled Parisian landmark—resurrected last summer after a four-year renovation— has borne witness to Marie Antoinette’s music lessons, Benjamin Franklin’s signing of the Treaty of Alliance with France, and a roster of legendary hotel guests, from Igor Stravinsky to Andy Warhol.

“The challenge was to bring new life [to a property whose] architecture is so highly protected,” says Chahan Minassian, one of four Paris-based designers tasked with reimagining the hotel’s public and private spaces—including 78 rooms, 46 suites, four restaurants and a spa—without erasing its legacy.

It takes a good push to get through the heavy doors of the new NoMad Los Angeles, a breathtaking transition from Downtown L.A.’s gritty present into the lobby’s Gilded Age opulence. Designer Jacques Garcia has transformed the stately 1923 building (once the headquarters of the Bank of Italy) into a 241-room boutique hotel plush with velvets and dark wood, antiques and curios. Garcia left many elements of the original building intact—the grand Italianate ceiling in the lobby, the ornate elevators, even the 50-ton vault door in the basement—and enhanced them with custom furniture, fabrics by Matthew

Williamson, and artwork commissioned for the hotel that is meant to evoke connections between Los Angeles and Italy.

A rooftop-to-lobby array of bars and eateries from chef Daniel Humm and restaurateur Will Guidara—the hospitality duo behind the original NoMad in New York and Eleven Madison Park, holder of the No. 1 spot on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list—brings many of Humm’s signature dishes to the West Coast. The Mezzanine restaurant offers his famous roasted chicken with black truffles and a seafood plateau of tiny composed dishes,

On a snowy day in Manhattan, Dakota Fanning is huddled over a cup of mint tea, diplomatically weighing the pros and cons of living in New York City.

Predicated by her acceptance to New York University, Fanning found an apartment in a prewar building in Nolita and has been based here for the past six years.

One of the pros is that the city has given her a newfound sense of freedom. “This is the only place I’ve ever lived by myself,” she explains. Evidence of her willingness to try new things is on practically every street corner thanks to billboards promoting TNT’s The Alienist, Fanning’s first major television series. “I just heard three people scream my name as I was walking here. I’m like, ‘Oh, f---! What did I do?’ But they were just saying ‘hey,’ so I said ‘hey’ back. I was like, ‘It’s gotta be because of those billboards.’ ” Based on the Caleb Carr novel set in 1890s New York, the 10-episode psychological thriller (co-starring Daniel Brühl and Luke Evans) sounded almost too good to be true. Fanning had just come off promoting two films, American Pastoral and Viena and the Fantomes, so the timing was perfect. The only hang-up was that it meant moving to Budapest, Hungary, for the better part of 2017 to film the show. “I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s so far and such a long time to leave your life,’ ” she says. “Movies are made in eight weeks, you know?”

She decided to think of it as doing a semester abroad and, in the end, wholeheartedly embraced her Hungarian sojourn—the spa culture, “family” dinners with the cast and hosting out-of-town friends. During the workweek, Fanning (who is notoriously prompt for everything) would arrive on set to be laced into an old-fashioned corset. Her character, Sara Howard, is a strong-willed young woman who stands up to sexual harassment as the first female employee at the New York City Police Department.

“As we were filming, we were like, ‘God, didn’t we read an article that’s kind of about this, like, yesterday?’ ” she says. “I think that it does go to show how history repeats itself. To move forward, you have to do something different because it’s been this long and these situations are still happening.”

Fanning is doing her part to push the

needle forward. A few days after our meeting, she joined the list of female presenters at the Screen Actors Guild Awards (she’s particularly sentimental about this award show, ever since she was nominated there at the age of 7— she’s still the youngest nominee to date, for her role in I Am Sam). This summer, she will appear in Ocean’s 8, the allfemale spin-off of Ocean’s 11.

off, but a complete lifestyle overhaul.

“I’ve been balancing work and school for almost 20 years,” says Fanning (she’s appeared in a staggering 40-plus films over the course of her career). “It’s not like going to school is a burden, but it’s a lot of pressure.” After she finishes her last year of credits (she’s studying film at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study), Fanning is thinking of moving back to California—she grew up in the San Fernando Valley but thinks Silver Lake might be a better fit now—to live out her domestic fantasy with a house, a backyard and, eventually, a husband and kids (“three is a good number for me ideally,” she says).

Could this very adult roadmap be the upshot of growing up on a movie set? Perhaps. But this is also the way she has always been—as a child, her favorite “toy” was her pretend kitchen, her favorite book was a book of baby names and she loves to knit. Plus, when it comes to thinking about marriage and children, she reasons, “It’s good to think about these things now because they are already going to overwhelm you when they happen, so if you can prevent that you might as well.”

One thing Fanning expects will be difficult is if her own child wants to act: “My mom gave up everything to be with me full time and make sure that I was prepared,” says Fanning. “I think she’s the reason why I’m OK, why I’m still acting and why I still love it. But I can’t imagine not working after I have a child and I would never send my child to a set without me. So, it’s complicated.” After a few seconds, she adds: “But I’m assuming that the love that you feel for your child would make you give up anything for their happiness, so maybe I would be willing to make sacrifices.” That day may not come for many years, but when it does, chances are she will be ready. •

Tamara Kaye-Honey never dreamed her hunt for a midcentury home with a view would lead her to the doorstep of a new build in the Glendale hills. At first glance, the home’s open spaces, gorgeous modern glass and steel framing had the interior designer and owner of the South Pasadenaand Montecito-based design and decor studio House of Honey convinced that it was the work of modernist architecture firm Buff & Hensman. “The snob in me was shocked that it was a new home,” she says, laughing. “It took me a minute to look past the fact that this would not be a major construction project, which is what I do.”

Kaye-Honey is known for whimsical and modern residential and commercial projects that are infused with her singular glamour, such as Otium restaurant in Los Angeles, Redd in Napa Valley and stylish boutique hotels in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. She’s also a serial home renovator, having lived through three different projects in Los Angeles with her husband, Ryan, co-founder of Buck design and animation studio, and children Phia, 16, and Streak, 13.

But the clean-lined, four-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot home offered a unique challenge that the family’s previous Tudor-style residence did not: a blank canvas. “It comes down to restraint,” says

projects have pride of place, such as exquisite hand-painted leather tiles on the kitchen island from Brit Kleinman of AVO, a one-of-a-kind tapestry from Lauren Williams hanging above a sofa, and

WITH A DEEP REGARD FOR Feature HISTORY, SAN FRANCISCO INTERIOR DESIGNER NICOLE HOLLIS ADDS A BURST OF CONTEMPORARY ELEGANCE TO AN 1866 TOWNHOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN WRITTEN BY DIANE DORRANS SAEKS

The TV cabinet (right) is a custom design by NICOLE HOLLIS.

Feature Hollis When Stephanie and Rowan Trollope hired acclaimed San Francisco designer Nicole Hollis to renovate and redesign their Russian Hill townhouse two years ago, Hollis, noted for her deft deployment

of modernism, was immediately captivated by the opportunity to bring the historic property into the 21st century Originally built in 1866, the threestory house had been renovated by California architect Julia Morgan in 1916, and still maintained the elegant Victorian air and classical proportions.

Today, Morgan’s classic Italianate, stucco exterior is still intact.

“The work of Julia Morgan has always been an inspiration to me,” says Hollis of the groundbreaking Beaux Artstrained figure behind Hearst Castle.

“In this day and age, it’s important to remember the woman who paved the way for all women in design and architecture. I was very honored to be working on one of her homes.”

This was to become a multipurpose residence: a family home for three children, and a home office for their father.

Rowan Trollope is senior vice president and general manager of Internet of Things (IoT) and applications at Cisco

Systems Inc. He is also an accomplished international mountaineer who wanted a storage/workroom for his rock-climbing equipment and his Triumph motorcycle.

San Francisco architect Aleck Wilson opened up the house to all-day southern sun, as well as the ultra-private garden.

The light-drenched living room now flows to the kitchen and dining room.

Hollis set about identifying what was timeless and what should be contemporized, without being trendy. Taking a high-low approach and blending furnishings from different eras and styles, spanning LED tube light pendants by of-the-moment talent Bec Brittain to 1950s Italian lounge chairs in ebonized wood, Hollis followed the family’s mantra to prioritize comfortable, easy living, with nothing too precious.

The kitchen features a custom island designed by Wilson, and a black-andsteel La Cornue stove. The custom oak-and-brass dining table, designed

by Hollis, is centered on the original

The original ballroom on the second floor was converted into a romantic master bedroom, complete with the original antique French marble fireplace. “There were no closets so we imagined monoliths with satin-polished brass doors, to create a soft golden reflection in the room and incorporate closets, a TV and a headboard,” says Hollis.

“Stephanie and Rowan have been great clients with real vision and appreciation for design and art,” she adds.

“They allowed me freedom to create an environment that embodies their personal style.”

With hints of the future and the evolving family, the house nonetheless continues to pay homage to Julia Morgan, whose influence lingers in every room. •

idea of a repeated beautiful element.”

Looking back now, the experience formed a blueprint for how this director, producer, author and Academy Award-winning actor (whose legendary films include Something’s Gotta Give,

Father of the Bride and Annie Hall) creates her own interiors—with a sense of history, a California backdrop, and an appreciation for unique, profound design.

The latest addition is Keaton’s own home, an intriguing 8,000-square-foot, rustic-industrial vision in Sullivan Canyon, just north of Brentwood, where she lives with her daughter, Dexter, and son, Duke, and the family’s golden retriever, Emmie.

The 38,000-square-foot lot allowed Keaton to do something she’s never done before: build from the ground up. (She’s previously lived in architectural jewels by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr. and Wallace Neff.)

Another first? Adding a modern design tool to her tried-and-true method of tear sheets from magazines and web sites: Pinterest.

Friend Nancy Meyers (the director whose movie interiors have launched countless pins) suggested Keaton check out the image-sharing app. “One click and I was hooked,” she says.

TAKING CUES FROM TUSCANY AND CentralPROVENCE, CA A BAY AREA ESTATE MERGES CALIFORNIA GLAMOUR WITH A EUROPEAN SOUL PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROGER DAVIES WRITTEN BY JENNIFER BLAISE KRAMER

Feature Central CA

“I guess it’s ‘Ameropean,’” says San Clemente-based architect Doug Mansfield of his clients’ East Bay home, a decadeand-a-half-long, travel-inspired passion project. “The husband preferred a more Tuscan aesthetic while the wife leaned more toward Provence. So our design melds visual snippets that could be found in both or either region, without precisely imitating either.”

The 10,000-square-foot estate has been named “Vallée de Chêne,” meaning “Valley of Oak” in French. It sits on the highest point of a 20-acre site, surrounded by native California oak trees. Natural light abounds and wildlife is everywhere— turkeys often wander poolside—and getting approval to build here was a lengthy feat in itself. When Mansfield joined the team, it was clear that keeping an eye toward nature and neutral elements was key.

Working off visions of European countryside maisons, Mansfield designed all of the stone elements, including the entry portals, columns and balconies. At the front of the house, an 18-foot-tall steel-and-glass door frames what the team agrees is the most beautiful oak tree on the property. Inside, the foyer is 20 feet tall with walls clad in the same French limestone as the exterior. The limestone was quarried in Coulmiers, France, and blocks were shipped to Italy for fabrication. Once the stone surrounds arrived on-site, they took more than a year to

install by a crew of masons from Poland, rounding out a “very international” experience, the architect says with a laugh.

Nearly every tile, light and door handle ascribes to Old World craftsmanship.

so I went home and thought, ‘I’ll try,’” he says with a twinkle.

Schnabel often paints on pre-marked materials—think plates, textiles, sails, tarpaulins, velvet or kabuki theater backdrops. Then he makes his own gestures on top, sometimes using classic techniques such as painting with wax or gesso. “You have a sense of that which was made, and then that which was made after,” says Schnabel, whose work critics and curators have likened to time capsules. “The contradiction between pictorial (the premarked materials) and physical is a space where the paintings exist.”

In the pink family room, a gigantic canvas from his “Big Girl” series looms over a long dining table. It’s a classic example of the other defining element of his paintings—immense scale—which render his work not only a visual experience, but also an architectural object in space. For the new exhibition, Schnabel has created six 24-by-24-inch abstract paintings on sacklinen (that once covered an open-air Mexican market) for the museum’s outdoor colonnade. “They transform the space that surrounds them and create an emotionally charged and poetic environment for the viewers,” says Hollein.

Inside the Legion of Honor’s Rodin galleries, the exhibition will include three different groupings of paintings. Work from Schnabel’s 1990 “Jane Birkin” series, which were inspired by Felucca boats on a trip to Egypt, are painted in oil and gesso on sailcloth that Schnabel acquired through trading with sailors. (The name of one of the boats was Jane.) A second series of irregular purple and pinkish canvases with marks across them is also painted on the aforementioned sack linen.

And the third series, “The Sky of Illimitableness,” which was made as a posthumous tribute to Mike Kelley, uses a printed Dufour wallpaper pattern on canvas, on which Schnabel adds a goat image and marks on top, referencing Diego Velázquez’s painting, A White Horse.

Schnabel pauses in front of one of his goat paintings, which includes the edge of the wallpaper—the area beyond the pattern that you aren’t meant to see. “I kind of like that idea that you’re sort of where the paint ended,” Schnabel says. “It’s like the

idea of Chicken Little and the sky falling... they have no idea what’s going to happen.

And in a sense, we don’t know what’s going to happen....” How will Schnabel’s art be received in the future? Hollein is betting that Schnabel, the artist, is poised for posterity. And now Californians get to see why. “Julian Schnabel: Symbols of Actual Life,” April 21-Aug. 5, Lincoln Park, 100 34th Ave., S.F., 415-750-3600; legionofhonor.famsf.org. • E. K .C .

book gives readers a front-row seat to her thoughtful process and a personal tour of her private space—with its mix of tonal and textural elements (reclaimed wood, brick, metal, nubby textiles) and playful patterns (dots, plaids, stripes).

The elements reflect Keaton’s affinity for Spanish, farmhouse and ranch styles that all share a sense of warmth. “I like worn elements, things of the past,” she says.

Not one to follow convention or trends, Keaton’s influences are varied and intriguing, like her interiors. In conversation, she muses on an “incredible” cement factory in Tucson, iconic architect Michael Graves and a fondness for bare windows. “People think I’m crazy, but I don’t have curtains,” she says. “I hate them.”

Instinct and emotion blend with traditional decor cues to fill the first half of the book with stylish juxtapositions of such wide-ranging subjects as landscapes, pools, ladders, book covers, beds and bath fixtures.

Keaton cheerfully confesses her kitchen is “literally copied from an image on

Pinterest” that shows a long gray-andwhite island and large industrial lights in a white church-like space with skylights.

But much of the house used images as jumping-off points, with twists and tweaks made by her team of architect David Takacs, designer Stephen Shadley, and Cynthia Carlson and Toben Windahl of Cynthia Carlson Associates.

Take, for example, the brick exterior, which Keaton was planning on painting, but ultimately chose to keep the raw, textured facade. “I fell in love with the mortar and the brick’s natural character,” says Keaton. “That’s how great ideas evolve— what you take in, what you see.”

Or a silo structure used more for visual balance than extra space. “The roofline was boring,” she says. “It needed more elevation.” It also gave Keaton the look of a New York City water tower—something she’d tried (unsuccessfully) to purchase before.

One absolute for Keaton is an abundance of light. “For me, there’s nothing better,” she says. It led her to add the large skylight in the kitchen and line the entire second floor with clerestory windows.

Ultimately, the book and home is as much a tribute to Keaton’s love affair with design and living as it is to the 300 images from across the Pinterest universe.

(Keaton’s own account, keatondiane, is a wonderland in itself.)

From the Cliff May knockoff model homes she visited with her father as a young girl (“paradise”) to the creature comforts in her current space (“dimmers and my Monterey furniture I’ve had forever”), Keaton sees the journey to her dream house much like life itself. She writes in the book’s introduction, “No matter how you cut it, the process is filled with compromises, failures and setbacks. Knowing this, I say, ‘Do it anyway.’ Grab ideas and let them take you wherever they will.”

And where’s Keaton headed? There’s possibly a new project tied to the book.

“Stay tuned,” she says. And there’s always the next home. “Already I am thinking, ‘How can I build another house?’” she says with a laugh. “It never goes away.” •

MAISON D’ETRE CONTINUED FROM P.132

properly for modern everyday use, as this is the homeowners’ primary residence.

Likewise, she selected the furnishings with great care and research so nothing looked like a knockoff of the real thing.

“They had a deep feeling of wanting it all to feel European and authentic—not a phony version of the South of France,” Hersch says.

To that end, they scoured villages near and far, finding treasures to perfect each room. Regarding the kitchen’s long farm table, which once belonged to an abbey in a tiny Italian town, the designer recalls, “We held our breath as it came through customs.” Since the wife is an avid cook, the team devised a giant, traditional hearth around the La Cornue range using extra Italian bricks from the pool cabana.

Silk wallcoverings line the master suite to provide warm texture and break up all the plasterwork throughout the home. In the living room, Hersch chose linen upholstery to “calm down any stuffiness” from the antique furniture.

The dining room’s chandelier is fitted with candleholders for rustic romance, while the back terrace dons vintage Italian iron chairs for soaking in the sun.

Hersch says the property’s “somewhere in Europe” vibe is more relaxed than anything you’d likely find overseas. “It’s reinvented—not [just] one thing or another,” she says. “Actually, it’s so California.” •

“It doesn’t matter where you come from, or who your family is, you have to have the chops,” Gideon Adlon says matter-offactly. She may be the daughter of Golden Globe-nominated screenwriter and actress Pamela Adlon—who co-created and stars in the FX dramedy Better Things—but the 21-yearold is forging her own path.

While studying photography at Columbia College Chicago, Gideon couldn’t shake her other passion: acting. Having spent her high school years performing in plays and musicals, including A Chorus Line and Romeo & Juliet, the native Angeleno decided to return home. A year and a half later, she landed her first lead in a major movie: April’s Blockers, a Kay Cannondirected comedy starring Leslie Mann and John Cena. She plays Ike Barinholtz’s daughter, who makes a pact with friends to lose her virginity on prom night. There’s one snag, however: Her character is a lesbian struggling to come out. “The film is funny, but it’s also sweet and honest,” says Gideon, who will next star in the drama Mustang alongside Matthias Schoenaerts. While Gideon’s sisters, Odessa and Rocky, are also actors, she insists, “My mom never forced us into anything. She let us figure it out ourselves. And that made my sisters and I realize, ‘We want to be like you.’ It means everything to have a woman like that as the leader in my life.”
