Bedroom The icon of the design is the chair of the Danish Hans Wegner in the skin of Donghia.

Bush grew up in a family of farmers: they kept a dairy farm on Long Island, while my mother made furniture, and my father created sculptures from machine parts. In addition to them, the boy was brought up by his grandmother-designer, cousin-artist and aunt-fashion designer. Scion eccentric clan decided to study art and architecture. He went first to New Orleans, and then to Venice - to the “real”, Italian, where he focused on organic modernism.

Today, Bush divides time between Long Island, where he lives with his family in a barge moored off the coast, and Los Angeles, in which most of his clients live. They appreciate the architect for his ability to erase the boundaries between architecture and design and to interpret the interior of even a large villa as a whole.

Lightness and white color predominate, which is predictable in a house on the ocean with works of art on the walls. Unusually - that the ceiling is trimmed with European larch. "I love just such a combination, a wooden ceiling and a white floor, it gives off surrealism."

There is a completely different atmosphere in the basement, where a home theater is equipped. "I wanted to create a kind of cave here." The architect lowered the ceilings and sheathed the walls with wood to get a sound-absorbing effect. And in the music room next door, where the young owner learns to play the drum set, he hung up custom acoustic panels. "The concrete box is the wrong place to play the drums."

The music room in the basement also serves as a cabinet. Acoustic panels on the walls Baux. Art work by Benjamin Edmiston. Jimmy Nelson, David Jackson. The blue and blue accents - the leitmotif of the interior of the villa - remind that the ocean is near. The roof terrace is furnished with chairs and sofas of the Italian factory Paola Lenti upholstered in Summit and Thomas Lavin.
