Mandy Moore and husband Taylor Goldsmith, a musician in the band Dawes, bought the property in early 2017, with an eye towards syncing the home with its original form. “We tried to imagine what Zook would have done if he were designing it today,” Moore told Architectural Digest.

The couple assembled a top-notch team for the overhaul, including interior architect Emily Farnham, interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, contractor Bronstruction, and Terremoto Landscape. According to Farnham, the process started with a “subtractive approach.”

“We surgically removed the circular volumes and ceiling complexity, brought the project back to its original grid, and opened it up to the sweeping views with new glazing,” Farnham said. “The design challenge was consistently: ‘How can we do this with fewer moves, fewer materials?’”
