HATCH’s recently completed home was featured on the cover of June 2023 Architectural Digest. Working closely with visionary Martyn Bullard to transform this lack-luster 1980s Beverly Hills mansion into a decadent Hollywood Regency style home. We recast the complexion of the house by modifying the existing mansard roof, reconfiguring railings and colonnades, and adding a host of neoclassical details. The existing home had very little connections to the outdoors; the transformation was focused on creating a variety of unique spaces that provide vibrant landscape experiences quintessential to true Hollywood homes of the 1930s. The result of this exceptional collaboration, paired with a brilliant client, has yielded an architectural masterpiece truly worthy of the drag superstar.
