This room shows the meticulous restoration involved in bringing the house into the 21st century. I created two seating areas in the large formal living room which functions nicely for large family get-togethers.”<br><br> Oriental elements decorate the living room. (November 2000)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl03_hayes.jpg><br><br> “At the time I designed this apartment it was the most “Modern” project I had done. I particularly like this view with the monumental rosewood sliding door separating the master bedroom from the study/sitting room. The space is serene and simple but maintains inviting warmth with the use of wood incorporated into the custom furniture.”<br><br> Hayes transformed a small Manhattan apartment into a master suite for an adjacent unit. Oversize doors connect the master bedroom to a sitting room. The untitled 1985 photograph is by Adam Fuss. (February 2000)<br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl04_hayes.jpg><br><br> “This 1920s home in Austin, Texas, was about neutrality, owning to the client’s different views on color or lack of color and keeping the interiors visually cool. Every time I visited the job site it was hot and humid, and being from Louisiana I knew just how to create a cool-feeling bedroom. After the room was almost complete we found the pair of Fornasetti painted panels which fit in beautifully and completed the room.”<br><br> The master bedroom of an Austin house, which features a pair of circa 1950 Piero Fornasetti landscape panels. Flanking the teak bed, which was designed by Hayes, are circa 1940s French lamps. (July 2001)<br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl05_hayes.jpg><br><br> “It was a pleasure to be handed over a spacious room off the master bedroom and create a bath, closet and dressing room for the wife of this duo; he got a smaller dressing room across the hall. Originally, I drew a fireplace in the location of the vanity hoping that those few weeks of cooler weather in winter would somehow grant permission for that notion but it didn’t fly. They loved the idea but ultimately she said it would not be used. In its place I created a vanity that stretches from wall to wall and then designed an oversized mirror to give scale and importance to that elevation. It is a wonderful open room that is both functional and glamorous.”<br><br> The master bath of an Austin house. Russel Wright lamps and a 1999 painting by Fuss rest on the vanity. (July 2001)<br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl06_hayes.jpg><br><br> “This was the first project I did for myself that was actually designed and thought out as opposed to just going out shopping to fill the need for a particular piece of furniture that was required. I had so much hesitation around it initially, but soon enough started enjoying the process. I like this simple meditative and spare view of my living room. This is a great mix-use area, not only for talking but watching television and eating and drawing at the large center table, which measures 5 feet square. The center/coffee table is 24 inches high but it works perfectly because of the lower seat height of the upholstered chairs.”<br><br> Hayes’ own living room in a 1830s town house in Greenwich Village. Naga Antiques Chinese scholars’ rocks. (September 2003)<br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl07_hayes.jpg><br><br> “I love this cypress paneled living room. It was so warm and perfect—all I had to do was design a few pieces of furniture for it. The off-white linen fabric on the sofas and the linen rug contrast nicely with the dark floors and rich cypress on the walls. The room—even with the paneling—always feels fresh and crisp.”<br><br> Hayes revived a 1964 house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a yoga instructor. (March 2004)<br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl08_hayes.jpg><br><br> “I have done multiple projects for this family—ranging from two New York City apartments to a Victorian in Telluride and this family compound in the Hamptons. This family home located on a large tract of land dates back to the early part of the 20th century. The wife had requested a blue and white scheme for the house because she felt it was cool, fresh and appropriate for the beach. I gave her the blue and white but added my touch in the black/brown stained furniture, which gives weight and prevents the interiors from looking too precious.”<br><br> A family’s 100-year-old Shingle Style summer house in the Hamptons was restored and expanded by New York architect Alan Wanzenberg. For the light-filled space, Hayes mixed a circa 1860 French ebonized cupboard—filled with 19th-century milk pitchers—with his own version of bobbin-turned chairs and a Chinese-style low table. (January 2005)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl09_hayes.jpg><br><br> “This is a great view showing that one gesture—like making openings along the window wall, enfilade—creates a more open space in small apartments. It affords more light and air and creates a sense of openness and lightness.”<br><br> For a Manhattan apartment, Hayes visually expanded the living/dining room, which now leads to the lounge, the study and the bedroom. (February 2006)<br><br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl10_hayes.jpg><br><br> “This sweeping view shows the main living space composed of a sitting area and dining area. This house was about being clean, serene and warm. The drama is in the ceiling height, the floating roof above and the amazing meadow and river beyond, which is ever changing. All of the gestures I made are in direct response to that idea.”<br><br> Hayes collaborated with Thompson, Makris and Reed, a landscape architect, from the outset. Window walls spanning the living and dining areas emphasize views of the meadow and the tidal river beyond. Milton Avery’s White Wave rests on a console. The Japanese screen is circa 1850. (June 2007)<br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/08/hayes/arsl11_hayes.jpg><br><br> “This is a grand ‘lodge’ like room that my clients wanted for movie screenings and winter happenings. This “Field House” is a lovely five-minute walk from the main house, which is located in upstate New York. The emphasis here was comfort, warmth and casualness.”<br><br> A field house in upstate New York was imagined, in a collaborative effort, by Hayes, architect Paul F. Shurtleff and landscape architect Douglas Reed. The building is clad in cedar siding. Large doors, which slide open to reveal the media room, continue the farmstead theme (June 2008)<br><br>)

Bands of handprints decorating Villa Kenya pay tribute to an African tradition. (July 1996)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/04/unconventional/hosl04_unconventional.jpg><br><br>A 14-foot-long Airstream, which was completely refurbished by Ralph Lauren, is one of four unique theme trailers previously auctioned for charity on the polo.com website. Under a pine ceiling stands a pullout peeled-log dining table. The floor is made from salvaged barnwood. (May 2001)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/04/unconventional/hosl05_unconventional.jpg><br><br>Architect Bart Prince conceived an elevated structure for a client outside Albuquerque, New Mexico. The living spaces cantilever from 11 steel-and-glass towers and are joined by a gallery walkway that runs the length of the house. “It’s like nothing I’ve done before,” says Prince. (May 2004)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/04/unconventional/hosl06_unconventional.jpg><br><br>“A tree house should never overpower the tree in which it is built. It should sit lightly in the branches,” says Jeanie Stiles, who, with her partner and husband, David, designed in East Hampton. (June 2007)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/04/unconventional/hosl07_unconventional.jpg><br><br>On a southern Minnesota farm, the Glen Harder House displays the mixture of solid forms and exuberant accents that mark the work of architect Bruce Goff. Reflecting Mr. Goff’s interest in Japanese architecture, the graceful curves of the eaves are exaggerated in turned-up chimney caps. Like a flying buttress, an arc of stones rises from the pool to a chimney.

Wilks designed and built Pyramid House, a unique underground residence. A blue glass pyramid, 38 feet square at the base and 27 feet high, rises above the subterranean structure, allowing sunlight into the interiors below. The rectangular tower contains a chimney and has a room at the top for viewing Wilk’s 265-acre property.

A ceiling and pivoting shutters of Majorcan cane fencing that provide guests with privacy define the daloon, which is behind the captain’s bridge. Hempel added straw cushions dyed deep red and, as low tables, a 1923 Louis Vuitton trunk and two Chinese vellum trunks. (January 1997)<br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/04/unconventional/hosl11_unconventional.jpg><br><br>“It’s comfortable and accommodating for an active family,” says architect Marc Appleton of Erika Glazer’s residential compound in Telluride, Colorado. “The interior entrance tower was laid out as a kind of fantasy tree house,” explains Appleton. “The bark was left on the trunks, and branches were added to hold hanging lanterns and other surprises. The stair winds its way up around the eight thick columns.” (June 1997)<br><br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/04/unconventional/hosl12_unconventional.jpg><br><br>“The floor plan was already set—it was one huge room with a mezzanine,” writer and architect Joseph Giovannini says of a former banquet hall in an 1880s Los Angeles building that he reworked.

She had been living on Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills, but when stardom demanded a grander lifestyle, Louis B. Mayer—in a transaction not uncommon for studio chiefs eager to perpetuate the myth of stardom—loaned her $40,000 to buy the house. When she bought the house in 1929, she furnished it in “green and gold, silks and brocades,” hoping to achieve the sophistication she lacked, wrote one biographer, but she later called her efforts a “hodgepodge.” (April 1990)<br><br>Best Actress<br>Mildred Pierce (1945)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/03/oscars/hosl03_oscars.jpg><br><br>“Orange is the happiest color,” Frank Sinatra said of his favorite hue, which showed up in his clothes and his houses. Sinatra bought a modest house at the Tamarisk Country Club in Rancho Mirage in the mid-1950s and lived there until May 1995. A caboose, a gift from some of his employees in 1971, became the compound’s main hangout. Inside was a full-service salon, complete with barber’s chair, a professional hair dryer, a massage table, a scale and a sauna, at rear.

Keaton and designer Stephen Shadley reinforced the play of light and shadows with wood beams and furniture offset by the original stained-concrete floor.

Think about that.’ She did and immediately signed on,” says Michael Douglas of the Bermuda refuge he and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones commissioned decorator Stephen Ryan to design. To maximize the height of the master bedroom, the designer created a canopy of laced panels that cascades from the beam ceiling. “It’s very pretty—it just works,” says Ryan.

The living room of the four-story residence, a circa 1860 town house on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, features the poster for Renoir’s 1953 film Le Carrosse d’Or and a projector where the director can view his collection of 16mm films. On the mantel are 19th-century Japanese stirrups from actor Ken Takaura. “There’s a part of me that loves a kind of Japanese minimalism—I need an uncluttered room to think in,” he explains. “But in New York you can’t live with that rigor in every room.” (April 1994)<br><br>Best Director<br>The Departed (2006)<br><br><br><img src=http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/homes/2008/03/oscars/hosl14_oscars.jpg><br><br>Stone chairs and ottoman, designed by the late Michael Taylor, complement the capitals used as tables in the master bedroom of Cher’s Malibu home. “The way we work is really strange,” she says of her long-standing relationship with designer Ron Wilson. “I’ll tell him that I want something that doesn’t exist—a style that isn’t a style—and then he’ll make it exist for me.” Wilson chose the bed fabric, by J.
