Concrete mixes with punchy pink, rich wood and well-loved design classics
Architect Barbara Bestor's dream came true when she was commissioned to build a ground-breaking home in LA for a couple of TV writers.
'Then they pulled out, so I felt I had no option but to build it myself,' she says. 'It was out of my league financially, so I guess you could call it a blind leap of faith.'
Despite most of the budget being blown on the build, the interior still packs a punch. Bright open spaces give way to breath-taking views of the countryside and industrial materials collide with punchy pink fabrics.
Not only are there several balconies, an outdoor pool and an alfresco dining area, there is a huge open-plan kitchen-diner, 3 bedrooms, a TV den and a study.
And you can't fail to notice the bright pink sofas, table and walls. 'It's a tongue-in-cheek feminist declaration,' says Barbara. 'Our pink is ironic and assertive.'
