Alex Rodriguez IN MIAMI ARCHITECTURE BY CHOEFF LEVY FISCHMAN ARCHITECTURE DESIGN INTERIORS BY BRIGGS EDWARD SOLOMON PHOTOGRAPHY BY BJÖRN WALLANDER
Above: Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez built a secluded home in the Coral Gables section of Miami. “Traveling as much as I do, what I really wanted was someplace peaceful, where I could rest and recover and be with my daughters,” he says.
Left: The home’s office is outfitted with a pedestal table and wood-framed chairs by Knoll.
2 Right: The architects at Choeff Levy Fischman looked to Beverly Hills’ Trousdale Estates when designing the 11,000- square-foot compound. To conserve water, artificial grass surrounds the pool.
Below: An Andy Warhol portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat occupies prime wall space in the living room. “It’s fun to tell my girls who Basquiat was, who Warhol was,” says Rodriguez, an enthusias- tic art collector.
Center bottom: Rodriguez and his daughters, Natasha (left) and Ella, in the kitchen. The Yankees star says he wanted to create a residence that, years from now, would bring his children “rushing home from college for the holidays.”
Opposite, top: A Marsha Lega wall sculp- ture shines against a span of concrete in the master bedroom.
Opposite, bottom: Waterworks sink fittings are mounted on the mir- ror in Rodriguez’s bath. 4 Naomi Watts & Liev Schreiber IN NEW YORK CITY INTERIORS BY ASHE LEANDRO PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN Opposite: Actors Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts and their sons, Alexander (left) and Samuel, in the kitchen of their Manhattan duplex. Although Watts gave designers Ariel Ashe and Reinaldo Leandro wide latitude in creating the home, she insisted on the banquette. “The dining table is great, but I wanted a place where we could snuggle as a family,” Watts says.
Left: A Ralph Lauren Home console divides the living room into two seating areas; the matching sofas are by RH, and the mask is 19th-century Gabonese.
Above left: Black-and-white floor tiles by Clé provide a graphic welcome to the home, which was knitted together from two units, one of which had been an artist’s loft. The stair runner is by Ashe + Leandro for Merida.
Above: The boys’ playroom features a Living Divani sectional sofa for lounging and a desk unit for studying; the ceiling lights are by Michael Anastassiades for Flos.
6 Completing the home was an epic journey for the actors. Shortly after they closed on the units, Hurricane Sandy flooded the building, preventing them from entering for months.
Near right: The kitchen in the long-awaited dwelling is furnished with Lostine stools.
Below: The dining room is handsomely decorated with a Ralph Lauren Home table, Sol y Luna chairs, and various antique and vintage pieces. Watts attributes her knowledge of design to her mother. “From the time I was a little girl, she was taking me to rummage sales and antiques stores,” the actress says.
Far right: The tub in the master suite is by MTI Baths, with Dornbracht fittings; the penny tile is by Waterworks.
Opposite, bottom: The walls of the cocoonlike master bedroom are clad in a Clarence House fabric. The bed is by RH. 8 Giorgio Armani IN SAINTTROPEZ, FRANCE INTERIORS BY GIORGIO ARMANI PHOTOGRAPHY BY RICHARD POWERS PORTRAIT COURTESY OF GIORGIO ARMANI Near left: Giorgio Armani in the entrance hall of his summer retreat in Saint- Tropez. “I have fun with my homes, which have been my greatest investments,” the designer says. “I don’t buy Picassos, I buy houses.”
Center bottom: The chairs and metal vases in the dining room are by Armani/Casa.
Far left: The living room’s ceiling, bookcases, and floor are made of polished African teak.
Center top: Running along the back of the residence is a loggia appointed with Armani/Casa furnishings.
Above: Armani is especially pleased with the home’s site, which doesn’t look directly onto the water. “I didn’t want the sea in my face,” he remarks. “When people come to visit me, they are always surprised. It isn’t a house to show off in—it’s to live in.”
10 Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka IN NEW YORK CITY ARCHITECTURE BY POVERO & COMPANY INTERIORS BY TRACE LEHNHOFF PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIAM WALDRON
11 Actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, shown at far left, renovated a Harlem townhouse to accommodate their two young children, their dogs, and Harris’s production company. “You have to weigh the value of things when you have two dogs who slobber and two kids who love to finger paint,” Harris says. “The top half of the walls is where we put every- thing that’s valuable.”
Center top: Artworks by Brian Wills, Noah Davis, and Annie Lapin hang above Room & Board sofas in the living room.

14 & Khloé Kardashian IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INTERIORS BY MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD DESIGN PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROGER DAVIES
15 The previous owner of Khloé Kardashian’s Calabasas, California, house was singer Justin Bieber, so designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard was tasked with bringing in romance and softness—not to mention a dedicated space for Khloé’s vast shoe collection. Two bedrooms were combined to form the master closet, where the reality-TV star is shown at far left.
Near left: A photograph by Patrick Demarchelier sets a glamorous tone in the family room. “I was very hands-on in the design process,” Khloé says. “I’m obsessed with details, so I can be a bit controlling, but it’s only because I’m genuinely curious.”
Below: In the tented living room, a vintage sofa from John Salibello is grouped with a Levantine mirror and a rug by Anthony Monaco.
Center bottom: The courtyard’s fireplace is clad in tile by Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Ann Sacks. Singer Marc Anthony and his wife, model Shannon de Lima Muñiz, renovated their dream getaway in the Dominican Republic’s Casa de Campo resort in preparation for their 2014 nuptials there. “Our housewarming party was literally our wedding week,” Anthony says. “We were seeing the house for the first time just as our guests were.” In addition to the 10,000-square-foot main house, the com- pound includes bunga- lows, two swimming pools, and various cabanas and pavilions; it can sleep 24. “I’m glad I didn’t think about the scope of the undertaking for too long,” the multiple Grammy winner says. “I probably wouldn’t have had the nerve to do it.”
Right: The breezy living room is outfitted with island-inspired teak seating.
Below: Around the sand-bottom pool are palapa-style villas topped with cane roofs. Throughout the prop- erty, the outdoor fur- nishings are cushioned in Sunbrella fabric.

Anthony worked with architect Dino Barré of DM Dominicana to achieve the retreat’s inviting look. “I’ve been touring for 20-something years,” the musician notes. “When you’re locked in a hotel room, you learn how to enjoy spaces.”

Right: Near the main house, chaise longues by Vincent Sheppard line the infinity pool.
Bottom left: An artwork by Fernando Varela hangs on a coral-stone wall in the master bedroom; the bed is by Roche Bobois.

25 Director Michael Bay, pictured opposite with his English mastiffs, Rebel and Bonecrusher, erected a 30,000-square-foot modernist home on a steep Los Angeles site. “Everyone involved in the project said this was the toughest thing they’ve ever built,” Bay notes. The design was derived from architect Chad Oppenheim’s unrealized plans for a Caribbean resort.
Clockwise from near left: The master suite occupies a lofty perch above the house’s main level. A mirrored Anish Kapoor sculpture is the focal point of the living room.
