In a major feat of engineering and imagination, Geoffrey Bradfield joined the top floors of two terraced buildings, transforming them into a sleekly elegant residence for a London client. Out of a gutted space, Bradfield fashioned a “warm and inviting” library. A painting by Frank Auerbach is above the walnut fireplace. “It’s a perfect marriage with the modern mix.” (February 2008)

“I’m one of those impulsive people,” says actress Jamie Lee Curtis, recalling the time she first walked into the Spanish Colonial Revival house in Los Angeles she shares with husband Christopher Guest. “I believe that I can make almost any place lovely; I can make it a home.” (December 2002)

In this living room, every item has a unique shape, from the twisted legs on the chairs to the statuesque floor lamps flanking one sofa. Symmetry grounds the multitude of shapes and gives the room balance.

Don and Jeanine Cooksey worked with architectural designer Wallace Cunningham to conceive a house for their La Jolla, California, land—a lot that was thought to be unbuildable. The structure, which has four bedrooms and six baths and is done in white concrete, stainless steel and glass, straddles a dramatic coastal canyon. An infinity-edge pool lies between the carport and the front entrance, the latter of which is marked by a trio of concrete columns and is joined to the circular living room. Interior designer Pamela Smith placed the living room furnishings in the middle of the space, leaving the glazed wall—the view—free of obstructions. (April 2008)

“They wanted a Shingle Style beach house with uncomplicated interiors,” Karin Blake says of the residence she designed for Greg and Teresa Nathanson in Malibu, California. In the kitchen, Blake created “barnlike cabinet doors using strap hinges and rat-tail pulls,” she says. They are copies of ones she salvaged from a barn owned by the late actor George Montgomery. A circa 1890 cast-iron windmill weight is on the counter. The range and custom hood are from Wolf. Refrigerator, Sub-Zero. (January 2008)

For a Southern California couple, architect Richard Landry created discrete structures to emulate the look of a small Italian village. The breakfast room’s ceiling and outer walls are glass. A French beaded-crystal chandelier is over a table whose base was made from a Portuguese giltwood Corinthian capital. (March 2007)
