"In some ways the strongest attributes of the house are probably the outside spaces,” says Court. The original cedar deck was replaced with Kebony decking that wraps around a century-old cherry tree.

The Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland (King’s Road) In the 18th century, the Stuart family’s vast collection of beech trees symbolized an elegant entrance to Gracehill House, their Georgian mansion in County Antrim. Equal parts picturesque and brooding, the landscape remains one of Northern Ireland’s most coveted attractions, its twisted branches forming an arch over the hushed avenue. Bregagh Road morphs into the King’s Road in Game of Thrones, part of Arya Stark’s escape plan when she flees King’s Landing disguised as a boy. Wood from a few of the Dark Hedges’ storm-felled trees was fashioned into 10 intricate doors that pay homage to scenes from the show. They are on display in cozy pubs throughout the country, including one depicting the Three-Eyed Raven and the direwolf sigil at Gracehill House, now a golf club, restaurant, and bar conveniently found on the Dark Hedges Estate.

Fort Manoel, Malta (The Great Sept of Baelor) Originally built by the Knights in 1723 to protect Valletta’s north-facing bastions from artillery, Fort Manoel, on Manoel Island in Gżira, Malta, was badly damaged during World War II. The square-shaped structure with a quartet of corner bastions appears on Game of Thrones as the Faith of the Seven’s center of religious worship, the Great Sept of Baelor. Thanks to a restoration by the developers Midi plc, the baroque fort once again mesmerizes. It’s open to the public only on certain days, so plan ahead for the full tour.

By removing walls and a counter peninsula jutting into the room, interior designer Corine Maggio was able to create enough space for a generous island. The stove wall is a fitting focal point with a hood vent accented in tigerwood and a quartz slab backsplash that helps to tie the space together.

French-born chef, TV personality, and pop-up wizard Ludo Lefebvre says of his kitchen, "My life is based around cooking 24/7‚ so making the kitchen the star of our house was really the only choice. Our previous kitchen was tiny‚ and with two small children it became almost dangerous at times: too many people‚ not enough space. I wanted an open area where family and friends could be part of the experience but also have breathing room."
