Thursday Design: 8/25 Edition - 7 Stylish Bachelor Pads To Inspire Your Masculine Style

The word bachelor pad tends to evoke leather sofas, lounge chairs, giant entertainment centers, and a fully stocked bar. But more and more single men are proving that living solo doesn’t mean forsaking a stylish home. AD has put together some bachelor pads from their archives to inspire a contemporary and cool twist on traditional masculine style.

 

When a Manhattan bachelor purchased a piece of land on Martha’s Vineyard, he turned to architecture and design firm Ashe + Leandro to create the perfect getaway. The great room displays selections from his extensive art collection, including works by, from left, Howard Hodgkin, Sterling Ruby, Aaron Young, and Rashid Johnson; the bespoke ceiling lights were created in collaboration with the Urban Electric Co., the sofas and slipper chairs are by Christian Liaigre, and the striped pillows are by Ralph Lauren Home.

 Before settling down with model Behati Prinsloo, singer Adam Levine resided in a chic Hollywood Hills home decorated by Mark Haddawy and outfitted with classics by 20th-century-design icons. The living room is a well-edited haven of vintage pieces: a Dunbar sofa in Maharam mohair velvet, a Stilnovo floor lamp, a Jean Prouvé cocktail table, a Hans J. Wegner Ox chair, and a Ludwig Mies van der Rohe daybed. The pillows are covered in antique Caucasian textiles, and the carpet is 1920s Persian.

 Designer Peter Dunham worked with film producer Steve Tisch on the redecoration of his 1932 Paul Williams house in Beverly Hills. Basquiat's Trumpet is displayed above a custom-made sofa in the living room; the cocktail tables are vintage French, and the 1940s floor lamps are by Jacques Adnet.

 Entrepreneur Derek Mattison called on design collective Commune to renovate his 1960s Los Angeles home. Reclaimed-oak paneling gives the double-height living room a rustic air; a dark custom-blended Benjamin Moore color on the beams and trim lends contrast. The floor lamp on the far left was custom made by Downtown, and the cocktail table is by Alma Allen for Commune. A Vladimir Kagan Contour chaise from Ralph Pucci International is upholstered in gray cashmere, and the overscale floor lamp is by Bottega Veneta; the cowhide rug is from Blackman Cruz

Designer Tino Zervudachi of Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi worked with local sources to restore and furnish Nat Rothschild’s bachelor pad in Rio de Janeiro. The glass-top table in the living room is from Firma Casa; the wood Whale lounge chairs are by Julia Krantz. On the wall is a piece by Brazilian artist Regina Silver.

In the master bedroom of investor Yoon Kim’s Manhattan bachelor pad, which was designed by David Mann and Brett McMullen of MR Architecture + Décor, the floating bed by Robert Bernstein is dressed in Calvin Klein linens, a mink coverlet by ER Fur Trading, and a throw from ABC Carpet & Home. The photograph displayed on the wall is by Dietmar Busse.

Architect Frederic Schwartz and designers Tony Ingrao and Randy Kemper collaborated with Donny Deutsch to renovate his 1889 Manhattan townhouse. In the living room, a George Condo painting is displayed above a custom-made sofa, one of a pair upholstered in a J. Robert Scott silk mohair. Next to the Venfield zebra chair is a gueridon by Hervé Van der Straeten; the curtains were made using the reverse side of a Kravet fabric, and the cowhide rugs are from Stark Carpet. via AD

The residence is currently listed at a whopping $19.5 million USD.

Home Design - 8/23 Edition: LA Barn House

Owned by Apollo 13 producer Brian Grazer, the Los Angeles Barn House gives a 1930s Cliff May ranch a sleek update.



Clad in grey-washed cedar, the monochromatic facade conceals a mishmash of architectural styles, while brise soleil covers the enlarged windows for added privacy.



Designed by Waldo Fernandez, the interior’s crisp white walls act as a gallery for works by Richard Prince, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol.



The property also features a basketball court, a yoga platform, and a rectangular pool and sits just a mile away from the Santa Monica coastline.




The former garage was covered into a screening room, fit for viewing Oscar-winning films.

Hang Your Hat - Friday 8/19 Edition: Beautiful Rural Montana Home For Outdoor Enthusiasts

The gated community of Meriwether Ranch is far from the hustle and bustle of any major city. With its world-class fishing and hunting, this secluded neighborhood is a welcome respite for those seeking a break from city life.



“This is a place where you can experience wildlife on an almost daily basis,” said listing agent Laura Sacchi of Big Sky Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s not unusual to see a herd of elk, deer, the occasional black bear or grizzly bear, or wild cats.”



In keeping with its wild surroundings, the interiors of this Meriwether Ranch home are adorned with fishing and hunting memorabilia, including a trophy room featuring a large, stuffed bear.



The property, which belongs to a family of outdoor enthusiasts from Colorado, includes an unusual perk: a high-end kennel and dog shower designed for the family’s hunting dogs. “Even the hunting dogs get very luxurious treatment in this home,” Ms. Sacchi said.

The Stats
The 6,375-square-foot house has five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one partial bath. The home also features a modern kitchen and a game room.

Amenities
While the home sits on one acre—relatively small for homes in rural Montana—Meriwether Ranch gives residents the opportunity to explore the great outdoors. Most of the 724-acre community is undeveloped, and access to hunting and fishing is a big draw for potential buyers.



The Big Hole River runs past the home’s backyard, and can be seen from the living areas. The property includes an outdoor fire pit.

Neighborhood Notes
The home is one of many on Meriwether Ranch, which is accessible via two suspension bridges that stretch over the Big Hole River.

While the community is located in a rural area, the small college town of Dillon is just a 15-minute drive away. Butte, which has air links to Salt Lake City, is one-hour away.



As Montana becomes more attractive as an alternative to Jackson Hole and Aspen, nearby properties—with their world-class outdoor attractions—have enjoyed increasing popularity.

Agent: Laura Sacchi, Big Sky Sotheby’s International
Location: Dillon, Montana
Price: $1.95 million
