“This was a definite joint effort,” actress Demi Moore says of the 1950s canyonside house in Beverly Hills she renovated with her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher. “We had a give-and-take that was very easy.” Bedrooms for her three children were among the additions.
The rear garden, landscaped design by Pamela Burton, has a spacious deck and a pool. The house “works really well for entertaining,” Moore notes.Window walls in the living room, as throughout, maximize exposure to the outdoors.
A 1930s table centers the dining area. “It’s interesting how things start to call to you,” says Moore, who sought guidance from interior designer Brad Dunning. “Pieces from the ’30s to the ’70s were an automatic fit.”
A stairway curves through an atrium linking sections of the house, which was remodeled by Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner.
reserving the openness to nature was a top priority. “There’s a great warmth to the house,” Moore observes. “I wanted to keep that organic quality.”
The master bedroom “is the perfect example of mixing outside and inside,” she says. “We close it up at night—I don’t like light when I sleep.” The bench hides a television by Philips. [Photography by Erhard Pfeiffer - Text by Gerald Clarke - source : bluetramontana style]
