The cantilevered addition was kept, and another bedroom added to the second floor over the existing house. Parks collaborated with Fort Structures to ensure that the third addition would sync with the rest of the house, replicating the window placement to make them sit between the roof beams, while still meeting current code and insulating the ceiling.
A Ptolomeo vertical bookcase by Bruno Rainaldi stands outside the couple’s bedroom, which features a John-John bed from Poltrona Frau and Awa side tables from B&B Italia. The tatami mats are original to the house, which was designed in 2002 by architect Mikio Tai, who worked with George and Mika on updates.
The three-story structure has a pair of external staircases set between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the shutters. A Chinese lacquer chest sits at the center of the ground-floor tatami room, which is used as a tearoom, a yoga space, and a guest room. Untitled 20-10, by Julia Ritson, an Australian artist from George’s hometown, hangs in the entryway. “Her kaleidoscopic painting prepares you for the world outside,” says George.
