Skip to main contentClare Crespo enjoys poking fun at Silver Lake, the Los Angeles neighborhood historically associated with all things bohemian, indie, alternative, and artsy. She calls the area Fraggle Rock, a reference to Jim Henson’s hallucinogenic 1980s television puppet show of the same name about a group of zany characters inhabiting a fantasy world all their own. Of course, among the stalwarts of Silver Lake, few are as archetypally Fragglicious as Crespo herself and her husband, James Chinlund. She’s an artist, designer, and conjuror of gorgeous, magical things sprinkled with pixie...…Skip to main contentClare Crespo enjoys poking fun at Silver Lake, the Los Angeles neighborhood historically associated with all things bohemian, indie, alternative, and artsy.

Skip to main contentCarmelo Anthony is a house guy. At least that’s what the 10-time NBA All-Star and 3-time Olympic gold medalist reported on a recent call. This past May, Anthony’s sterling two-decade-long professional basketball career officially came to a close. He spent seven of those years as a member of the New York Knicks, commuting to Madison Square Garden from a 4,500-square-foot condo in Chelsea. And as much as the New York native enjoyed his downtown digs, he realized he needed more space to stretch out his considerably long legs. “I love land, I love space. Once you start...…Skip to main contentCarmelo Anthony is a house guy. At least that’s what the 10-time NBA All-Star and 3-time Olympic gold medalist reported on a recent call.

Skip to main contentCurrently, New York City is home to the most billionaires. The wealthiest among the Big Apple’s residents is Michael Bloomberg, with a net worth of $96.3 billion, per Forbes. But despite its reputation as a haven for the most well-off among us, New York City isn’t the primary residence for any of the richest people in the world. While one of the planet’s most moneyed figures famously keeps a modest dwelling in the middle of the US, others boast more lavish digs in coastal areas, purchased via record-breaking transactions. Unsurprisingly, many of the world’s most affluent...…Skip to main contentCurrently, New York City is home to the most billionaires.

Skip to main contentIn the mid 1960s, Richard Clements, a contractor from San Fransisco, set out to build a one of a kind resort. The location: 9.5 acres atop a stunning bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The inspiration: Paro Taktsang Monastery in Bhutan, perhaps one of the most famous cliff-hanging structures in the world. Though the hotel never came to be, the lobby, which appears to grow out from within the rocky overlook, was constructed. And in 1992, this daring design was purchased and transformed into a single-family home, which recently hit the market for $25 million.Described in...…Skip to main contentIn the mid 1960s, Richard Clements, a contractor from San Fransisco, set out to build a one of a kind resort.

The pair had recently purchased a 1917 property the architect designed, known as the F.G. Bogk House, and were curious if the visionary had come up with any landscaping for the home. Though he had no garden plans to offer, he maintained that the house was, in every way, “good.” Ever since, the home has remained with the Elsner family, who were loyal stewards to the home: preserving the interiors, restoring the paint to its...…Skip to main content“A good house of a good period for a good client.” This is what Frank Lloyd Wright wrote to Barbara and Robert Elsner in 1955 of their new home.
