It’s not always “modern,” it’s never fussy, and almost always involves amazing light, but it’s pretty hard to define. If there’s such a thing as “California Style,” photographer Amy Neunsinger and stylist Kate Martindale are right in the middle of it. The Los Angeles-based design duo has worked with everybody who's anybody in the design world, with clients ranging from magazines and celebrities to big-name stores. The two friends have collaborated on plenty of big projects and even have a mini fashion range together. Amy is also a friend, so when she announced that she and Kate landed a design show, Home, “Capturing Home,” on the Magnolia Network, we were all happy dancing for them. It’s kind of a big deal. Their style reflects the laid-back (but stylized) California look that made them darlings of the design world. The show is a traditional home makeover deal with a personal twist. Instead of sending the family away until the big reveal, Kate & Amy will take their cues from the homeowners' personal stories to create interiors that feel specific to them. It launches Saturday, August 6th streaming via Prime Video and Discovery+. We’re already on the sofa with popcorn, ready to be inspired. Xx, mlk All photos: @amyneunsinger

Respectfully and lovingly restored by Michael LaFetra as close as possible to the way original architect John Lautner intended, the Stevens House, built in 1967-8 and declared a California State Landmark in 2010, is on the market for $22 million dollars. According to LaFetra, Dan Stevens, who originally commissioned the home, interviewed a number of famous architects to design a 5 bedroom 5 bathroom house with a pool on a 90′ X 37′ lot in 1967. All of them said it was impossible. He then called John Lautner. Lautner accomplished all of Stevens' requirements by designing a structure that utilizes 14 steel I-beams that in turn support two half catenary curves in reverse positions to become the concrete wall, roof and ceiling. The house unifies sculpture with architecture and resembles two waves on the exterior. The interior of the house is composed of concrete with cedar planking throughout. The house also utilizes giant custom glass and Douglas fir sliding doors that open completely to bring the ocean air directly into the house. The architectural masterpiece sits on the beach in the famed Malibu Colony with approximately 37 feet of sandy beach stretching to the ocean, a large beach deck, grassy yard and swimming pool. Built of wood and concrete, Lautner created the five-bedroom mid-century structure to resemble ocean waves. After undergoing a significant renovation that restored the home as close to the original as possible, it now bridges the past to the present. The five bedroom, five bathroom home is 3,366 square feet and sits on a 8,702 square foot lot situated at 78 Malibu Colony Road. Asking prince is $22,000,000. The home is listed with Cory Weiss images courtesy of Cory Weiss, Michael LaFetra and Deasy/Penner & Partners Foundation Films owner Michael LaFetra has restored many a mid-century masterpiece by such architects as R.M. Schindler, Ray Kappe, Pierre Konig, Richard Neutra in addition to several Lautner homes. Be sure to see his beautiful work here.
