Diane Keaton RRR Residence
9,000 square feet of new construction in Los Angeles designed in collaboration with Diane Keaton, completed in 2017. Interior design by Diane Keaton and Stephen Shadley, with David Takacs. The project became the subject of a book by Diane Keaton, "The House That Pinterest Built" published by Rizzoli.

The Master Suite taking shape. CYNTHIA CARLSON ASSOCIATES sourced the reclaimed heavy timber used throughout the house from Northern California.
Vintage used bricks from Chicago were sourced by CYNTHIA CARLSON ASSOCIATES.
The concepts of FACTORY, BARN & COMPOUND became the inspiration for the project. The corral fence and board and batten siding pay homage to the original houses in this Cliff May tract where many of the residents still keep horses.

Plans were worked out in the office prior to design meetings in her studio, where concepts were further explored in live Sketchup modeling sessions informed by Diane's exhaustive image research.
