Editor\u2019s note: Adam and Behati Prinsloo Levine sold their home in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles in May 2022. This article was originally published in September 2021.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Life at the home of\u00a0Adam and Behati Prinsloo Levine\u00a0doesn\u2019t seem very, well, rock-and-roll-y. Or supermodel-y, for that matter. The rooms aren\u2019t cavernous, there\u2019s no crazy waterfall or lagoon, and instead of zebra stripes and patent leather, all the furniture is covered in lovely linens and boucl\u00e9s. Nothing feels even vaguely louche. To be fair, Adam does own a king\u2019s ransom in groovy, blue-chip sneakers, but the closet where he keeps them has a Rick Owens daybed smack in the middle of it. That\u2019s something you don\u2019t see on your average episode of\u00a0Cribs<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t want a palatial McMansion. That\u2019s just not who we are,\u201d insists the Maroon 5 frontman, who is currently touring in support of the band\u2019s latest album,\u00a0Jordi<\/em>. \u201cWe were attracted to this place because it felt homey. You could tell that kids had lived here before,\u201d adds Behati, describing the allure of the couple\u2019s\u00a0Pacific Palisades property\u00a0as a refuge for themselves and their two daughters, Dusty and Gio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n An artwork by Mary Corse graces the living-room fireplace. Lounge chairs by Waldo\u2019s Designs.<\/em><\/p>\n The couple sold their previous home, completely furnished, when the paint had barely dried after an extensive renovation by the mother-and-son design duo Kathleen and Tommy Clements. \u201cBeverly Hills\u00a0just started to feel hectic. It\u2019s strangely central, so we felt surrounded by the city. We wanted to live somewhere quieter, where you don\u2019t hear the traffic and feel the stress,\u201d explains Adam, who grew up in Los Angeles and went to high school just minutes from their current abode. \u201cThe only things we brought were the art and the bonsai trees, which are my other little kids,\u201d Behati says.<\/p>\n The home they acquired has an architectural pedigree\u2014ranch-style maestro Cliff May designed the house in the late 1930s\u2014although the original May design had been all but erased in decades of renovations and additions by the time Adam and Behati arrived. Previous owners of the property, which is nestled far off the street and opens out to spectacular views stretching to the ocean, included Gregory Peck, producer Brian Grazer, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Bones and Charlie chill in the living room. a Rashid Johnson painting and an Andrea Branzi standing light flank the entry to the bedroom wing.

We simplified the materials and colour palette and exposed the bones of the house to create a beautiful, neutral backdrop for their collections of art and design,\u201d Tommy Clements notes. \u201cAdam is an obsessive design junkie. He and Behati like to live with beautiful things, but in a super-casual way, where the kids have the run of the house, and friends and family are always welcome,\u201d Kathleen adds.<\/p>\n The voluminous living room, commanded by a striking Rashid Johnson canvas, best exemplifies the home\u2019s pervasive vibe of hushed chic and lounge-y luxury with its deliberately low-slung custom seating, classic Jean Prouv\u00e9 Visiteur chairs, and minimalist basalt slab cocktail tables that hover inches off the floor. \u201cThe low daybed isn\u2019t for every client,\u201d Kathleen muses. \u201cI\u2019d need a crane to lift me off, but I think Adam and Behati are fit enough to handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A Raymond Pettibon painting surmounts a Clements design bed upholstered in a Pierre Frey boucl\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n Behati underscores the characterisation of her husband as a real estate and design freak. \u201cAdam usually takes the driver\u2019s seat in making design decisions. He stays up all night looking at furniture and houses. He should be an interior designer himself,\u201d the Namibian model says. Evidence of the singer\u2019s cultivated tastes can be discerned in every room, from the Jacques Adnet chairs in the den to the\u00a0Charlotte Perriand\u00a0desk in the home office and the massive Raymond Pettibon painting that looms above the couple\u2019s bed. \u201cIt\u2019s not exactly earthquake-friendly, but we\u2019re willing to die for that piece of art,\u201d Adam jokes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Custom chairs of tubular steel and oak surround a Clements dining table of charred walnut. An Albert Oehlen drawing hangs above the original fireplace. The painting on the far wall is by Richard Prince.<\/em><\/p>\n In addition to the Pettibon and Johnson, the couple\u2019s intriguing art collection includes a mix of boldface names\u2014Henry Taylor, Richard Prince, Mary Corse, Mary Weatherford, Albert Oehlen, and others\u2014along with dramatic works by friends Sage Vaughn and Andrew Zuckerman. Commissioned by Behati as a gift for her husband, Vaughn\u2019s trippy painting of a shark floating above a field of flowers provided the cover art for the\u00a0Jordi<\/em>\u00a0album. \u201cWhen things are chaotic culturally, as they have been for the last half decade, it tends to foster great art. Behati and I have an emotional attachment to everything we collect,\u201d Adam says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The kitchen has a La Cornue range, Wolf hood, Sub-Zero integrated refrigerator, and Miele wall ovens and dishwashers. The stools are by Thomas Hayes Studio, and the Bruno Munari pendants are from Obsolete.<\/em><\/p>\n Landscape architect Mark Rios ensured that the house\u2019s alfresco spaces were just as conducive to easy repose as the interiors. \u201cWe created a series of discrete destinations\u2014outdoor rooms that are truly meant for living\u2014to add variety to the experience of the garden,\u201d Rios notes. Those destinations include a raised platform for enjoying the sublime views, a sunken conversation pit off the den for nighttime frolics, and a pool area designed for hanging out as much as swimming.<\/p>\n Teak chaise longues by Gloster, guarded by olive trees, line the pool. Landscape design by RIOS.<\/em><\/p>\n A bevy of mature olive trees ties the backyard to the front of the house, where Rios transformed a banal circular motor court into an Arcadian idyll with lush plantings and irregular stone pathways.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Covid lockdown made us especially grateful to have this place. In a world where nothing ever seems to be enough, our home feels like a genuine unicorn, our perfect sanctuary,\u201d Adam concludes. Behati puts a finer point on the sentiment: \u201cIt\u2019s really all that we need or want.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Editor\u2019s note: Adam and Behati Prinsloo Levine sold their home in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood of Los Angeles in May 2022.
