    Diane Keaton Once Owned This $12.8 Million L.A. Home Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Son

    by

    In Los Angeles, you find a good deal of both architecturally significant and celebrity-pedigreed homes. And sometimes, in cases such as this in the idyllic Rustic Canyon area of Pacific Palisades, those categories overlap.

    An estate designed by Lloyd Wright, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s eight children and an esteemed architect himself, has just hit the market for $12.8 million. The five-bedroom, 3.5-bath property was originally built in 1950 for Alfred Newman, the nine-time Oscar-winning composer for films such as Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing, Camelot, and Hello, Dolly!, among others. Decades later, another Oscar winner, architecture- and design-savvy actress Diane Keaton, took over the estate, restoring many features to all their midcentury-modern glory. Diana Braun and Frank Langen at Compass hold the listing.

    The living room is classic midcentury modern, with built-ins and angularity.

    Engel Studios

    Lloyd Wright incorporated many details that his father was well known for, including concrete floors, asymmetrical exposed brick fireplaces, and angular rooms with banks of windows that bring the outdoors inside. During her time in the home, Keaton retained those design features, restoring the woodwork, modernizing the kitchen, and turning the primary suite into a glass-walled loft on the upper level. There, the sleeping area is accompanied by a small sitting area near a fireplace, plus an alcove for snuggling up with a good book, and even a private deck for enjoying the surrounding greenery.

    Back on the main level, a massive fireplace anchors the living room, which spills out to a patio for outdoor hangs. The open kitchen leads to a small dining area, which also has access to the yard. There are built-in benches throughout the home and a cozy office for getting some work done.

    A soaking tub sits next to windows in the updated bathroom.

    Engel Studios

    Outside, the brick-lined pool and spa are situated among 1.4 acres of landscaping, including fruit, oak, and sycamore trees. There’s an outdoor fireplace oven, and along with the main residence there are two detached bedroom suites and a music-studio guest house.

    Southern California buyers may be familiar with Wright’s work from some of his other properties that have hit the market in recent years. A $3 million, four-bed abode came up for sale in La Cañada Flintridge in the summer of 2023. And while Keaton no longer calls the Wright property in Rustic Canyon her home, she has continued to spend her time in Los Angeles. Earlier this year, however, she decided to part with a $28.9 million residence that she built from the ground up, inspired by Pinterest.

      Inside Graham Norton’s $2.6 Million Country Home in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley

      by

      If you’re looking for a lovingly restored home with deep ties to art, history, and pop culture, this 245-year-old residence in a tranquil, celebrity-loved enclave just a few miles north of New York City might be just the ticket.

      The four-bedroom, four-bath residence in Snedens Landing (a.k.a. Palisades) was built all the way back in 1780 by Joshua Martin, and it’s believed to have been an office for George Washington during the Revolutionary War. More recently, the photographer Judy Tomkins lived in the home for more than 60 years, hosting friends like Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Julia Child. Tax records show Tomkins sold up in 2017 for $1.6 million to the current owner, Irish comedian and TV presenter Graham Norton, along with his husband, Scottish documentarian Jono McLeod. Now back up for sale with an asking price of $2.6 million, Richard Ellis at Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.

      The wood-covered library includes a Federal-style fireplace mantel.

      Ian Alexander Nelson

      “Around her dining table, Judy entertained some of the most influential minds of her generation,” Ellis said in a statement. “This home became a second residence for some of America’s cultural giants, who came together often to relax and celebrate their shared interests.”

      Across two floors and 2,600 square feet, the cozy abode retains many of its original details, including hand-hewn wood beams, wide-board pine floors, and three working fireplaces. Downstairs, the eat-in kitchen sports concrete countertops and old-fashioned cupboards, while the library includes a Federal-style fireplace mantel and a window that looks out to the yard. The primary suite sits on the main floor as well, with a private screened-in porch and access to the gardens. Upstairs, meanwhile, is where you’ll find the three additional bedrooms and bathrooms. 

      The primary bedroom has its own screened-in porch.

      Ian Alexander Nelson

      Tomkins added her own touch to the landscape, which comprises pleasantly untamed gardens on a wooded knoll with seasonal views of the nearby Hudson River. Along with being a photographer, Tomkins became a well-regarded garden designer and, in fact, worked on those of some of her high-profile neighbors over the years, including those of Diane Keaton, Bill Murray, and Al Pacino.

      It appears that Norton and McLeod are pulling up all of their roots stateside. The five-time BAFTA TV Award winner and his spouse recently hoisted their historic New York City carriage house on the market for $5.6 million. Previously owned by German model Claudia Schiffer, Norton has owned the Greenwich Village residence for more than 20 years, and he had recently renovated it to show off his art collection and amp up the color palette.

      This $5.9 Million Canyonside Home in L.A. Was Once Owned by a Songwriter for the Eagles

      by

      Not too far from Los Angeles’s famed Laurel Canyon—which has long served as a respite for artists—sits a house with similar musical pedigree.

      The five-bedroom property, originally built in 1941, was once the home of the late singer-songwriter JD Souther, best known for co-writing the Eagles’ hits “Best of My Love” and “New Kid in Town.” Tax records show the pop ditty scribe bought the treehouse-like abode in 1990 for $875,000 from television producer Ilene Chaiken (The L Word, The Handmaid’s Tale) and owned it for about a dozen years. During his tenure, Souther enlisted third-generation L.A. architect Stephen Kanner to redesign and expand the residence, which is clad in natural materials like wood and stone. It’s now on the market for $5.9 million, listed by the George Penner Team at Compass.

      Skylights fill the living room with natural light.

      Gavin Cater

      The secluded structure sits among almost an acre of lush greenery, including its own vineyard. On the main floor, there’s a separate living and dining room—the former includes several skylights cut into the wood-beam ceiling, allowing natural light to flood the space. The nearby chef’s kitchen has been updated with modern stainless-steel appliances, which contrast with the wooden cabinetry. Other hangouts down here include a den and a library, with multiple fireplaces for keeping cozy.

      Upstairs, the sizable primary suite includes an entire wall of windows, double closets, and its own built-in reading alcove with yet another fireplace. The stone bathroom’s glass corner picture windows look out onto the surrounding treetops. Two additional bedrooms are found in an adjacent wing, while another guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom is downstairs.

      A snug home theater is tucked down on the lower level along with a wine cellar.

      GavinCater

      Elsewhere, hobbyists will find several spaces suited to their interests. A small screening room is ideal for catching up on your favorite director’s repertoire, while the climatized lower-level wine cellar keeps your bottle collection in tip-top shape. Outside, there are several lounging spaces, including a verdant glade with overhead lights and a fire pit. The pool is accompanied by a pool bath and a detached studio, which could serve as a space for making music, art, or other creative work. With its own veranda and stone fireplace, you can comfortably post up either inside or out.

      Nichols Canyon is navigated by a serpentine road that climbs into the mountains above Hollywood and is home to some pretty spectacular dwellings. Just last month, a 1960s Spanish villa there hit the market for $8.5 million, following a five-year renovation that added features like arched steel windows and handcrafted terracotta tiles.

      Apple TV’s ‘The Studio’ Filmed at These 3 Scene-Stealing John Lautner Houses in L.A.

      by

      In The Studio, Apple TV+’s sharp, stylish send-up of Hollywood’s inner sanctums from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the Continental Studios offices rise from the screen like an architectural fever dream: a grand “temple of cinema” supposedly designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1927, complete with soaring concrete blocks and Mayan Revival flair. It’s stunning. It’s cinematic. It’s also completely fake. 

      That’s right—Wright never built this shrine to celluloid. Rather, the show’s production team conjured it on the Warner Bros. lot, a loving homage to the architect’s Ennis House. But while Continental’s headquarters might be a masterclass in architectural fiction, the homes featured in the series are the real deal. And they are not just any homes; they’re designed by visionary architect John Lautner. Innovative, iconic, and gloriously unusual.

      From the spaceship-like curves of Silvertop (a.k.a. the Reiner-Burchill Residence) to the sleek lines of Harvey House and the modular magic of the Foster Carling House, The Studio goes beyond parody to pay homage to bold design that withstands the tests of time. Because while the show pokes fun at Hollywood’s obsession with legacy, it also quietly celebrates the kinds of L.A. structures that have become legendary in their own right. Just like the characters, these homes want to be remembered. And honestly, who wouldn’t want Catherine O’Hara living her best life in a Lautner?

      Harvey House  

      Episode one of Apple TV+’s The Studio filmed at John Lautner’s Harvey House.

      Apple TV+

      One standout location is the Harvey House, a swoon-worthy confection tucked into the Hollywood Hills, where sharp-tongued producer Patty Keigh (O’Hara) welcomes newly appointed studio chief Matt Remnick (Rogen) into a sun-drenched entryway in episode one, ‘The Promotion.’ Built in 1950 for industrialist Leo Harvey, the midcentury marvel is one of Lautner’s early masterpieces—featuring a circular wooden courtyard, sweeping stone floors, and floor-to-ceiling glass that blurs the lines between indoors and out. 

      The home had its own second act in 1998, when actress Kelly Lynch and her husband, writer-producer Mitch Glazer, famously outbid Leonardo DiCaprio to purchase it, Vie Magazine reported. The couple subsequently poured another $1.5 million—an amount about equal to the purchase price—into a meticulous restoration guided by Helena Arahuete of Lautner Associates. Today, the couple still calls Harvey House home, and thanks to The Studio, it’s now playing a scene-stealing role of its own.

      Reiner-Burchill Residence (a.k.a. Silvertop)

      In episode two, the crew used Lautner’s Silvertop as a filming location.

      Apple TV+

      Another standout is the legendary Reiner-Burchill Residence—better known as Silvertop—Lautner’s swooping, hilltop wonder overlooking Silver Lake. Built between 1956 and 1963, this gravity-defying feat of engineering serves as the dramatic backdrop for episode two, ‘The Oner,’ when Remnick stumbles through a chaotic sunset film shoot. The irony? As cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra put it, the house was an architectural dream—and a logistical nightmare. 

      “It’s an incredible house and I was so excited to shoot it, but the second I got there, I realized we had completely penned ourselves into a corner,” he told IndieWire. “Because the house is all glass walls, it’s impossible to cheat the time of day. And there’s no flat spots on the property—it’s literally perched on a ridge, with the east and west sides both sloping steeply down. You have nowhere to stage gear, nowhere to put people, nowhere to set cranes for lights. It’s really just not a great filming location for what we were trying to do. But I think that’s what made it perfect for us—it forced us to be creative and come up with fun solutions.” 

      The hilltop residence is nestled within the prestigious Moreno Highlands area above Silver Lake.

      Apple TV+

      Rogen, who serves as co-creator, director, and actor on the project, echoed the sentiment. “The hardest part about that episode is that it’s all set at magic hour and that house is all glass,” he explained. “And when we first got there—we didn’t really have access to the house before [Goldberg interjected that they visited for just three hours the week before shooting]. We picked a location that was incredibly beautiful and very inspiring and very Los Angeles, but also completely not conducive to filmmaking.” 

      Still, what made Silvertop tricky behind the camera is exactly what makes it unforgettable onscreen. The home’s enormous arched concrete roof seems to hover above glass walls that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, while a cantilevered driveway spirals around the structure like a concrete ribbon.

      Lautner originally designed Silvertop for industrialist Kenneth Reiner, whose bankruptcy left the home unfinished until Dr. Philip and Jacklyn Burchill revived it in the 1970s—with Lautner’s direct involvement. In 2014, Beats president Luke Wood and his wife Sophia Nardin purchased the residence for $8.5 million and embarked on a meticulous restoration with architect Barbara Bestor. Over two and a half years, they recreated original terrazzo recipes, replaced cork ceiling panels sourced from Portugal, and carefully restored Lautner’s open-plan kitchen—all while honoring the house’s original spirit. Bestor has called Silvertop “the Fallingwater of the West Coast,” and it’s easy to see why.  

      Foster Carling House 

      Lautner’s Foster Carling House doubles as Matt Remnick’s (Seth Rogen) personal address.

      Apple TV+

      While Remick may be fumbling his Hollywood comeback, his home is pure architectural triumph. Enter the Foster Carling House—a 1949 creation that feels part spacecraft, part luxury yacht, and entirely ahead of its time. With its hexagonal layout, boat-like contours, and a redwood-clad exterior, the abode is perched high in the Hollywood Hills, offering 360-degree views of L.A. and some serious midcentury swagger. 

      Originally designed for film composer Foster Carling, who requested an open plan to accommodate both his grand piano and lively gatherings, the residence marked Lautner’s first collaboration with boat builder John de la Vaux, a partnership that would go on to produce some of the architect’s most daring structures, including The Harpel Residence II in Alaska and the previously mentioned Harvey House. There are no interior columns; instead, steel cantilevered beams do the heavy lifting, supporting a soaring, uninterrupted living space. 

      [embedded content]

      The home’s standout features include a glass-walled indoor-outdoor pool and a living room wall that swings open—yes, literally swings—to reveal a terrace and extend the built-in sofa into the open air. It’s here, in episode one, that Remick and his coworker Sal Saperstein (Ike Barinholtz) lounge back to watch Goodfellas, not long after unintentionally slighting Martin Scorsese himself. It’s also where, in episode six, ‘The Pediatric Oncologist,’ Remick entertains his new doctor girlfriend, played by Rebecca Hall.

      Last sold in 2014 for $2.95 million, the Foster Carling House is owned by fashion designer and former Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott (also the owner of Lautner’s Elrod House in Palm Springs), and it remains one of the most innovative and significant early works in Lautner’s storied portfolio.

      A Rolls-Royce Co-Founder’s Family Commissioned This $5.3 Million London Home

      by

      If you’re in the market for a proper British house with a side of automotive heritage, and maybe a dash of horsepower, this Edwardian villa in the leafy and affluent Putney district might be your dream garage, er, home. 

      Listed with Wilfords London for £4 million (about $5.3 million), marking its first appearance for sale in three decades, the grand residence isn’t just another stately family home. Built in 1901 and believed to have been commissioned for the family of Charles Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce, it’s a property that comes with serious motoring credentials. The question of whether a modern Phantom can squeeze through the driveway gates remains to be seen. (No promises. But if anyone can make it work, it’s Rolls-Royce.)

      The circa 1901 Edwardian home features a gated driveway.

      Wilfords London

      Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the spread has all the architectural drama you’d expect from a home linked to Edwardian aristocracy and one of the world’s most alluring and luxurious car brands. Think soaring ceilings, intricate wood paneling, open fireplaces and an entrance hall that feels downright Downton Abbey. The drawing room, with its bay window and stately fireplace, is as refined as they come, while the kitchen, fitted with a Chalon design and classic Aga range, spills into a conservatory. 

      “There’s something undeniably special about this house – it’s not just the possible link to Charles Rolls, though that certainly gives it a unique provenance. It’s the feeling you get when you step through the door,” says Geoff Wilford, founder of Wilfords London. “The proportions are majestic, the detailing exquisite, and there’s a sense of quiet confidence in every room. The sweeping carriage driveway wasn’t just for show – it was designed with early motorcars in mind, back when the automobile was still a marvel. And that spirit of innovation, of elegant practicality, runs through the entire house.”

      There are bay windows and multiple fireplaces throughout the six-bedroom home.

      Wilfords London

      Upstairs, there are six bedrooms spread across two floors, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like en-suite and a dressing room that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel. There’s also a whimsical top-floor bedroom with a fairytale-style bath and a sun lounge that could moonlight as a yoga studio, artist’s nook, or very indulgent nap zone. 

      Outside, the south-facing garden is beautifully landscaped for alfresco entertaining. As for the detached garage—currently picturesque and period-appropriate—it’s too small for an 18-foot long Ghost, the smallest Rolls-Royce on the market. But is is ripe for reinvention as a home office, gym, artist studio, or even a snug screening room.

      Two Former ‘American Idol’ Producers Are Auctioning Off Their 160-Acre Paso Robles Vineyard Estate

      by

      Ken Warwick and Nigel Lythgoe doled out $5.2 million for a sprawling parcel of land on the northern edge of Central California’s Paso Robles wine region back in 2005. The childhood friends and former executive producers of American Idol went on to raze an existing farmhouse on the property and then spent around four years and $12 million creating a Tuscan-inspired vacation retreat that would double as a winery and an event venue.

      After two decades of ownership, the British-born showbiz duo first decided to sell their 160-acre spread during summer 2022 for $22 million before substantially chopping the price to nearly $14.8 million last year. Now, with no takers coming to the forefront, the property known as Villa San-Juliette is slated to go under the gavel next month. Elite Auctions is heading up the no-reserve bidding, with Brianna Deutsch and Paul Margolis of Rodeo Realty serving as the listing agents.

      The winery includes an expansive tasting room for partaking in more than a dozen different varietals.

      Elite Auctions

      Tucked away in the rolling foothills of the San Miguel Mountains, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the property is spotlighted by a 94-acre vineyard with Bordeaux and Rhone-style grapes that produce 12 varietals. Winery amenities include a large tasting room, a gift shop, a commercial kitchen, and two barrel rooms, plus an inventory of award-winning bottled and bulk vintages valued at $1.2 million and access to 700 subscription wine club members.

      A couple of 3,700-square-foot, three-bedroom residential villas with kitchens, entertaining areas, and marble baths share a veranda and a resort-style pool, while a 1,040-square-foot home with two bedrooms has been used as a rental destination at $400 per night. Offering picturesque views, the surrounding lawn, gardens, and arbors can also accommodate up to 200 guests for weddings, concerts, and corporate retreats.

      The estate’s two 3,700-square-foot villas share the resort-style pool.

      Elite Auctions

      Warwick and Lythgoe initially decided to sell because it’s time to slow down and spend time with family, according to the New York Post. “Villa San-Juliette has been an incredible chapter for us, a place of beauty and creativity,” Warwick said. “But at this stage of our lives, family has become our priority. With our time increasingly split between Los Angeles and London, the practicalities of frequent travel to Paso Robles make it difficult to give the estate the attention it deserves. It’s time for another family to create their own memories here.”  

      Private previews of the property are available by request, with the auction set for Saturday, May 17, at 11 a.m., just one day before the Season 23 finale of American Idol takes place.

      A Gallerist’s Artfully Updated One-Bedroom Carriage House in N.Y.C. Lists for $20 Million

      by

      One of New York’s most prominent gallerists is hoping for a masterpiece of a deal in the heart of New York City’s Greenwich Village. Gordon VeneKlasen, co-owner of the prestigious Michael Werner Gallery, has listed his exquisitely reimagined four-story carriage house on MacDougal Alley for a speck under $20 million with Compass’s Tim Malone. 

      Tucked behind locked iron gates on one of the Village’s most storied carriageways, the one-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is a fusion of historic charm and modern refinement. Built in the mid-1800s as a horse stable for homeowners around Washington Square Park, the handsomely unassuming red-brick structure has evolved through the decades, once serving as the home of Jackson Pollock before VeneKlasen acquired it from billionaire hedge funder Daniel Loeb in 2009 for approximately $6 million. Fun fact: the following year, the art dealer sold his apartment in Gramercy Park to his former neighbor, late-night host Jimmy Fallon, for $1.35 million, Observer reported at the time.

      The interior was renovated with the help of architect Annabelle Selldorf.

      VHT Studios/Alexander Thompson

      Working with acclaimed architect Annabelle Selldorf—his longtime friend and collaborator—VeneKlasen transformed the 4,000-square-foot abode into an intimate, museum-quality sanctuary. “Gordon is the most curious and voracious person I’ve ever met,” Selldorf told W Magazine of the renovation. “He wants it all.”

      An interior glass vestibule was added at the front door to create a small foyer, while the interiors unfold around a sculptural central staircase, leading to a private rooftop garden that crowns the home. The double-height living room, framed by soaring south-facing windows, bathes in natural light, while blackened metal railings and hand-selected finishes create an atmosphere of quiet sophistication.

      At the rear of the ground floor, the chef’s kitchen opens to a secluded garden patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. The library, tucked into the finished basement and fashioned from a former wine cellar, and a guest bath clad in 100-year-old patinated copper exemplify the home’s exquisite attention to detail. 

      There are soaring 10-foot-high windows in the double-height lounge on the second floor.

      VHT Studios/Alexander Thompson

      The entire second floor is devoted to a single reception space with two 10-foot-tall windows, while the home’s lone bedroom occupies the top floor with a walk-in closet and spacious bath. On top of it all is a planted roof terrace with a vine-laced pergola, and, adding to its rarity, there’s a private parking spot just outside the front door, nearly unheard of in this part of Manhattan.

      VeneKlasen’s purchase and painstaking renovation of the property reflect a deep appreciation for both art and architecture, and the collaboration with Selldorf, who also worked on the Michael Werner Gallery—it’s located in the Upper East Side townhouse that once housed the venerable Leo Castelli Gallery—resulted in a home that not only houses an eclectic collection of art and objects but also elevates everyday living to an art form itself.

      ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Co-Host Julianne Hough Is Seeking $8 Million for Her L.A. Home

      by

      ‘After more than a decade of ownership, Julianne Hough has decided to sashay away from her longtime home in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Dancing With the Stars co-host and two-time Mirrorball champ has stuck a nearly $8 million price tag on the stylishly revamped digs, with Brandon Piller and Joey Ben-Zvi of The Agency holding the listing.

      Though the asking price is around $6 million more than the almost $2 million she doled out for the 1930s-era home back in early 2014, Hough completely remodeled the premises during her tenure in collaboration with architect Steve Wunderlich and celeb designer Jake Arnold. The result? An enchanting Cape Cod–style refuge featuring three bedrooms and four baths in 3,000 square feet of two-level living space boasting rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, plaster walls, arched doorways, organic stone accents, and bespoke millwork throughout.

      The custom-colored kitchen comes with an eat-in island and a Lacanche range.

      Gavin Cater

      Sequestered behind gates, the white clapboard and black-trimmed structure is tucked away on a ridge spanning half an acre that overlooks picturesque views of the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory. Inside, a step-down living room is highlighted by a sculptural brick fireplace, while an adjoining dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen decked out with blue-green cabinetry set against a white subway tile backsplash, an island topped with Calacatta Viola marble, a pricey Lacanche range, and a sliding library ladder for easy access to the top shelves.

      Elsewhere is a gray-hued screening room, an office, and a mirrored gym, as well as a cozy primary bedroom flaunting a private balcony and a spa-like bath with a steam shower and massive soaking tub. Once outside, hedged and greenery-laced grounds professionally designed by Trilling Landscape host several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots enhanced by a pool and spillover spa, plus a built-in barbecue and pizza oven, a fireplace, and a bocce court. There’s also an attached two-car garage and motor court on the premises.

      The primary suite opens to a spacious balcony overlooking some of the city’s top landmarks.

After winning numerous Mirrorball trophies (he has six; she has two), the siblings redefined their roles on the reality dance competition, which was recently renewed for a 34th season. Derek became a judge on the show in Season 29 and Julianne also logged time as a judge before taking over co-hosting duties with Alfonso Ribeiro in 2023. She’s also an accomplished country singer and actress.

      British Design Legend Tom Dixon Just Listed His Curvaceous Villa in Mykonos for $25 Million

      by

      When Tom Dixon designs a sea-view villa, you know it’s not going to be your average beach cottage. Enter Aimasia, a nearly 10,000-square-foot love letter to Mykonos, crafted with the renowned British designer’s signature flair and the finesse of A31 Architecture founder Praxitelis Kondylis. Tucked into the rocky folds of Elia, the six-bedroom estate isn’t so much built on the land as it is at one with it, a swooping, Brutalist sculpture drenched in clear Greek sunlight. Now it can now be yours for a cool $25 million.

      “This villa isn’t just perched above Psarou Beach—it commands it,” says Nest Seekers International agent Amanda Lynn, who shares the listing with colleague Efthalia Anastasiadou. “The views are cinematic, the architecture is breathtaking, and you’re steps from the most iconic beach clubs in the world. It’s the ultimate Mykonos experience… private, luxurious, and completely unforgettable.”

      Dixon’s Design Research Studio (DRS) both juxtaposed and channeled the island’s rugged terrain into every inch of Aimasia. Think boulders repurposed as interior sculptures, a kitchen island of polished granite with softly curved edges, and plaster bedframes tinted with Mykonian soil. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought here either—it’s imbedded into the bones: from the low-carbon concrete and native green roof to smart cross-ventilation and energy-efficient systems. 

      The villa is anchored—literally—by a roughly 200-foot-long granite wall, a remnant of the site that now serves as both structure and storytelling device. The wall slices through the home, guiding you from the open-air atrium to indoor living spaces, all wrapped in sliding glass and shadow play.

      Each of the six bedrooms is its own private haven. Two have private plunge pools, and a detached suite is notched into the hillside below the main house for maximum seclusion. But even indoors, the line between architecture and nature blurs. Stone, oak, and soil mingle with custom furniture, including some of Dixon’s most important pieces, like the S-Chair, which is included in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection, and experimental pieces made just for Aimasia—paper mâché totems, metal sculptures, and disk-like pendant lights that are artfully suspended over the kitchen. 

      And then there’s the view: the Aegean stretched out beyond an infinity pool. The outdoor living spaces—shaded terraces, a BBQ kitchen, and a dining pavilion—are primed for long lunches and slow sunsets. “Whether you’re throwing a legendary party or just escaping with friends, this villa is the kind of place people talk about long after summer ends,” Lynn adds.
