In July 2023, Alexandra Daddario purchased a stunning retro home in Brentwood, California, and images of her living room have lived in my mind ever since. While I was certainly never opposed to the mid-century modern aesthetic, something about Alexandra's living room brought the style to life in ways I'd never seen before.
The 'treehouse-inspired' architectural jewel, designed by Matt Kivlin in 1959, is perhaps the perfect canvas for this design aesthetic, complete with light wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sliding glass doors that blur boundaries between indoors and outdoors and maximize natural light and views of the canyon. In such a setting, it's no surprise that her mid-century modern furnishings shine.
