Private residence

Article Abstract:

Architect-designer George Freedman and partner Ralph Rembel were contracted to render the interior design for the private residence of one of Australia's top businessmen. The designers used finely crafted materials and classic modern furniture to create elegance and an illusion of space. Translucent glass windows were added to the side walls to balance lighting and privacy. The interior also features white plaster walls, natural woods, limestone floors and sophisticated carpets.

Dan residence: Malibu, California; Franklin D. Israel Design Associates

Article Abstract:

Michael and Cecilia Dan contracted Frank D Israel Design Associates to design their residence in Malibu, CA. The designers used spectacular geometry to give the interior a sense of flow. An earthy red color was chosen for the stucco cladding to complement the plantings. Fir beams, white walls and natural tones are seen throughout the interiors, especially in the master bathroom. A mezzanine office tucked under the roof is also creatively incorporated into the master bedroom.

Second home

Article Abstract:

An abstraction of the woodsy Craftsman houses in the Bay Area was blended with the rigorous geometry of artist Donald Judd and the dramatic asymmetry of architect Rudolf Schindler in the house created by architect Scott Johnson. The Napa Valley house was designed as a second home for his family. The simple lines belie an interplay of mass, light and materials and the magnificence represented by a pergola.
