Em uma colina com vista para Beverly Hills é uma casa que "vibra com o amor de quem a criou", diz sua dona, a atriz Jennifer Aniston. "Eu quero dizer isso apenas, porque é o certo", ela reflete. "Estou muito orgulhosa desta casa. E eu quero celebrar as pessoas que fizeram isso: os arquitetos que colocaram tanto de si em sua criação". Não menos importante entre eles é o designer Stephen Shadley, que trabalhou com ela no projeto por quase dois anos e meio. "Eu vou ter muita sorte se poder trabalhar com esta equipe e da liberdade de criar de novo", declara o designer. "Foi um projeto sem nenhum problema". O designer tem colaborado com Diane Keaton em duas de suas residências no sul da Califórnia (ver Architectural Digest, novembro de 2008 e abril de 2005) e uma no Arizona (veja Architectural Digest, Abril de 1998) e com Woody Allen no interior de seu apartamento na cidade de Nova Yorque (ver Architectural Digest, novembro de 2008). Ele e Aniston tinham chegado perto de um trabalho conjunto sobre duas outras residências. "Eu tinha ouvido falar sobre este lugar, e quando o vi, eu adorei. Eu sabia que era o meu desafio", explica ele. A casa, que foi projetada pelo arquiteto Harold W. Levitt, em 1970, estava em reforma na época e era, Shadley recorda, "de forma grosseira. Precisamente nós derrubamos a casa e a reconstruimos".

On a hillside overlooking Beverly Hills is a house that “vibrates with the love that created it,” says its owner, actress Jennifer Aniston. “I want to say this just right,” she muses. “I am so proud of this house. And I want to celebrate the people who made it: the master craftsmen who poured so much of themselves into its creation.” Not the least of these is designer Stephen Shadley, who worked with her on the project for nearly two and a half years. “I’ll be lucky if I ever do anything with this kind of team and freedom again,” raves the designer. “It was a project without a problem.” The designer has collaborated with Diane Keaton on two of her residences in Southern California (see Architectural Digest, November 2008 and April 2005) and one in Arizona (see Architectural Digest, April 1998) and with Woody Allen on the interiors of his apartment in New York City (see Architectural Digest, November 2008). He and Aniston had come close to working together on two other residences. “I’d heard about this place, and when I saw it, I loved it. I knew it was my métier,” he explains. The house, which was designed by architect Harold W. Levitt in 1970, was under renovation at the time and was, Shadley recalls, “in rough shape. We essentially tore the house apart and rebuilt it.” (Source: Architectural Digest)
