Located near the intersection of Highland and Melrose in Hollywood, STREET is celebrity chef Susan Feniger's first solo restaurant, offering a pan-cultural menu of urban tastes. The interior is conceived as a single surface of wood that references vernacular materiality and urban abstraction. As the street is a surface, so too is this STREET. Photo courtesy of NMDA.

Thirty years ago, this Apple designer helped define the future of personal computers with three iconic icons.

The "Happy Mac" was one of Apple's first icons.

Susan Lankford created a custom headboard in Romo fabric for the primary bedroom, to accompany a custom bed. A Parachilna pendant and vintage lounge chair are on the far end of the room.

A sectional sofa raised to dining height furnishes the dining area, along with vintage Hans Wegner chairs upholstered in ostrich leather. Serra custom-made the table, using Cosentino's Dekton x-Gloss Halo. The rug is from Scandinavian Made.

This classic owned by writer Susan Orlean and her husband John Gillespie was updated by architect Jeff Fink, who specializes in restoring homes by Austrian-born architect Rudolph W. Schindler. The couple has previously owned his Los Angeles Roth house, buying it even though they lived in New York. Then, they sold it for the Kallis-Sharlin House, known for its butterfly roof—which allowed Schindler to add clerestory windows, and more light to the home. For the exterior, they ordered a custom hue from Behr, channeling the grey-green of a Martini olive.

Moreland House

The kitchen features cabinets from Bulthaup’s B3 line and a hearth made of ironspot brick. Evans and his wife, Susan Wilson, bought the wall clock at Habitat in London.

A vintage mahogany cabinet by Borge Morgensen, covered with a floral wallpaper by Josef Frank, adds a dose of cheerful color to the adjacent dining area.

A mix of vintage ceramics and artworks soften the minimal, top-of-the-line appliances. Serra sourced the ovens from Gaggenau, and the Dekton Borea countertops from Cosentino. The Kohler sink is paired with a touchless faucet, which is easier on the hands for the whole family.

Agate drawer pulls and a backplash of Cosentino's Silestone Albedo pair with a Gaggenau full-surface induction cooktop. The walls throughout were painted in White Tie from Farrow & Ball.

Serra installed new Dinesen oak flooring throughout, finished in matte white oil, in the Scandinavian tradition. She also replaced two curved-top windows with one large, rectangular picture frame window to emphasize the light and coastal scenery. The vintage handwoven Swedish rugs add warmth to the overal palette of cool blue and pale neutral tones.

Kitchen designer Susan Serra embarked on a deeply personal project when she set to update her own home kitchen, a multigenerational gathering spot for a family that loves to cook. Combining elements from her Danish background and coastal setting on Long Island, the resulting combination of colors and style influences were initially inspired, she says, by a Swedish painting that she and her husband purchased to commemorate their 40th anniversary, which sits above the light gray cabinetry from Cabico (top right).

The banquet table featuring an inlaid Lazy Susan—a nod to large, shared family dinners at Chinese restaurants—and a custom curio made of steel and oak were both designed by Vancouver–based industrial designer Ko Júbilo.

Elsa, designed and built by Olive Nest Tiny Homes, is a 323-square-foot tiny house, complete with a pergola-covered porch, a swing, and a greenhouse. "We wanted to soften the look and the experience and extend the living space with something useful," says designer Melanie Aho, who launched the tiny home company with her parents Mary Susan Hanson and Randy Hanson. Elsa is outfitted with cedar shiplap, standing-seam metal exterior siding, and a standing-seam metal pitched roof. "The look is simple and earthy," Aho says. "We’re of Scandinavian heritage and are drawn to Scandinavian style and design."

The dining room table seats 10 and features an integrated lazy Susan. It is crafted from white laminated plywood with Birdseye maple legs. Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson architects and manufactured by Tomlinson Woodworks, it is available to purchase separately.

Rudolph M. Schindler’s Kallis House, recently restored by homeowners Susan Orlean and John Gillespie, is often referred to as the Austrian-born architect’s late-period masterpiece. It makes use of the "Schindler frame," an adaptation that allowed him to design large glazed openings and thin ceilings and roofs. John, Susan, and their dog, Ivy, commune in the sitting area of the master bedroom. The Wide Angle Janus sofa by Edward Wormley for Dunbar Furniture, found by John’s mother at a thrift store with the original orange fabric intact, was purchased for less than $100, including delivery. The coffee table is by Isamu Noguchi and the 9-Light LED pendant is by Sonneman.

Decorative artist Willem Racké worked with Susan Chastain to create this vibrant tangerine lounge. The two main walls of the small room were painted to give the illusion of looking into infinity. A high-gloss, orange lacquer covers the ceiling.

Moreland House

Exposed brick and natural light add a touch of quintessential New York loft style to the updated home. Restoration Hardware sconces, pillows from Injiri and Susan Connor, and a throw from ABC home tie the room together in the perfect combination of structured and cozy.

The kitchen island is topped with PaperStone in slate and wrapped in the same steel used to clad the house’s facade. “We matched the color to create a ‘2001: Space Odyssey’ monolith,” Garlick says. He and his wife, Susan Elliott, a chef, cook at the commercial Wolf range they purchased at a restaurant supply store.

The airy living room shows off a monochrome landscape by Petros Koublis framed by an Interior Define sectional and Verellen coffee table. Extra accents include a floor lamp by Bungalow Decor in Westport, block print pillows by Susan Connor, aerrain plant pot, and black urns by Habitat Greenwich. Tying the space together is a rug from Restoration Hardware.
