Martyn Lawrence Bullard's Villa Grigio ( James McNaughton, 1964)

Designed by architect James McNaughton, formerly a successful television set designer, this home truly epitomizes glamour. The conversation pit in the living room looks out onto the pool area through expansive glass walls that wrap a portion of the sunken area, while an arcaded courtyard creates a stunning setting for relaxing in the Palm Springs sunshine. The dramatic architecture is complemented beautifully with the vibrant décor of Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the current homeowner.
