"They were incredibly diligent about making sure the lot was compacted correctly for the house they want to build," the insider told PEOPLE. "It's good for the neighborhood that she's doing that and that there will be a significant architect." Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships so we may receive compensation for some links to products and services. Khloéand Kourtney Kardashian showed off their beautiful homes inArchitectral Digest’s annual “Celebrities at Home” issue, and the genius behind their designs couldn’t be more proud of his work. On September 29, Kardashian shared photos and insights about the products on Instagram, where she has 330 million followers. 'Because I kind of started with celebrities, it went from one celebrity to the other, to the other, to the other.
The concept of house as sanctuary is one of the great clichés of shelter-magazine writing—and for good reason, as anyone who finds comfort in their home can attest. But for sisters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, the idea registers on a whole different level. After all, when you’re members of what is arguably America’s most famous family, with so much of your life playing out on reality TV and in the tabloids, you need someplace where the eyes of millions are not watching 24 hours a day. As for the decor, it seems Khloe enjoys filling her home with classy black, grey, and white furnishings, much like her mom. Some spaces within the home seem to be a combination of modern-style meets classic Moroccan design, an interesting blend that really ties everything together beautifully. Almost seven years—and three more children—later, the Wests have transformed that real estate into one of the most fascinating, otherworldly, and, yes, strange pieces of domestic architecture on the planet.
Stylish Living Room:
Minimalist architect Claudio Silvestrin—who worked on Kanye’s pre-Kim Manhattan loft and continues to collaborate with him on ambitious building projects still under wraps—designed the voluminous master bath. Vincent Van Duysen helped furnish the living room as well as the children’s bedrooms. Wirtz International Landscape Architects, under the direction of Peter Wirtz, oversaw the design of the burgeoning, purposely all-green gardens.
The next owner allegedly tore down the home and made plans to build an extravagant new compound, but they were never executed. Variety reported that Jenner purchased the ample property in cash in an off-market deal, and marketing materials for the property state it is one of the largest in Hidden Hills.
Kim and Kanye's Other Wyoming Ranch
Caitlyn Jenner's posh Malibu pad got a light, bright makeover to suit her new life. "She wanted her home to reflect not just her sense of style but her journey," designer Lori Margolis said of the space. The Yeezy designer, 42, purchased a ranch in Cody, Wyoming — a city in the northwest of the state, just 52 miles from Yellowstone National Park, a source told PEOPLE in September 2019. The property, formerly known as "Monster Lake Ranch," comes in at just over 4,500 acres and cost the rapper a reported $14 million. The sizable compound, sitting on 0.83 acres, boasts seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms and even has 20 parking spaces for the reality star's several luxury cars. Kim Kardashian is bringing her love of minimalistic design to people's bathrooms with her first home decor line and fans have lots to say about it.
"I see us living on a ranch in Wyoming, occasionally going to Palm Springs and our home in Los Angeles — and becoming a lawyer," the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star told her husband, who interviewed her for the story. The Beverly Hills mansion the KKW Beauty mogul shared with husband of 72 days Kris Humphries is back on the market for a cool $5.7 million. Kim owned the five-bed, five-bath home from 2010 through 2013, when she sold it to move in with Kanye West. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has already shared plenty of photos of her and her daughter Stormi hanging out in the new home - taking advantage of the pool and the tennis court. “I wanted each piece to be artfully crafted from hand-poured concrete—every item has its own unique texture and stone effect with an ornate patina occurring over time, so no two pieces are exactly the same,” she said of the new home accessories.
I’m an interior designer – Kim Kardashian’s new home decor collection is ‘not special’ & you could DIY the look for less
"I find if I love the space I'm in, I get a lot of work done - which is why I always pay special attention to the decor of my home office," Kardashian writes in a post on her app. Books organized by color lighten up the dark walls for a space that captures what she calls a "work hard, play hard" aesthetic. Although most living rooms serve as spots to kick back on the couch, Kardashian, 37, designed hers with her inner hostess in mind. "It's more of a party and entertaining space." The proudly displayed piano was a gift from mom, Kris Jenner. "I took piano lessons on this exact piano, so it's very sentimental to me," she says." But they probably didn’t expect the billionaire entrepreneur would one day become a competitor to them in the homewares industry, with the launch of her own home accessories line.
That way, you won't feed into expensive impulse buys that weren't a part of your original plan. From a design perspective, he also does not like their bedroom bathroom but did give "plus points for creativity" for the built-in tub wrapped in stone. He then moves on to an image of their dining room and thinks it's beautiful with "its sculptural, elemental details that bring all those natural concepts in." "The reason why I hate these is because this is the average height of your fridge pole," the designer says as he points to the fridge in the image. "Why are we using the exact same length on all of the cabinets? It's so ridiculous." The niche in Khloé’s bedroom is marked by a mix of exotic touches, among them a star-shaped lantern, a photograph by Chester Higgins Jr., and a side table inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
'Her first house she did was very young and quite wild in a way, but she has matured into a really interesting lady, who really is passionate about design and really studies it,' said Martyn. Then at one Christmas Eve party the designer was approached by her daughter Kourtney who had just bought a new home in Calabasas and wanted some help. Regardless, Martyn and Kris clicked and he started to get invites to the Kardashian Christmas parties and social events and even vacationed with the famous family.
Martyn has designed stunning home interiors for family matriarch Kris Jenner as well as her daughters Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner - with Kim Kardashian being the only hold out. In one video, Grey analyzes details in the shared living space of celebrity couple Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian. She also mentioned the Damien Hirst skull artwork that her ex-husband Scott Disick had given her and the several coffee table books that she had in her living room that cover everything from fashion to interior design.
Since purchasing the $20 million property in 2014, the couple reportedly dropped another $20 million on just the renovations and have been collaborating with the master of minimalism, Axel Vervoordt. Kardashian's home boasts plenty of new products, but the most meaningful items are those that incorporate sentimental nods to her loved ones. A bookshelf with law books and a pair of shoes gifted from Elton John, both belonging to her late father, Robert Kardashian, serves as one example. "My dining room is one of my favorite rooms in my house," Kardashian says of her modern yet comfortable eating area. "I use the space to entertain - it's perfect for when I have the whole family over." She even hosted the Kardashian-Jenner clan's Christmas brunch here. She also picked up the empty lot next door and allegedly had plans to turn it into a horse stable, but ended up letting go of it for $5.3 million in August 2018.
Martyn has also completed projects with supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, and he's designed four houses for actress Ellen Pompeo. His first celebrity client was Cheryl Tiegs, the fashion designer and America's first ever supermodel. Martyn points out that while some of the more expensive items of furniture or artwork he buys may seem ostentatious, in fact they are a smart investment. We made it very inviting because she was pregnant at the time, a place for her to bring her first child into the world. Martyn says the 64-year-old businesswoman and momager is also extremely passionate about interiors and loves to decorate. Martyn says he made a 'real connection' with Kourtney, 41, because of her passion for design and says her knowledge 'blossomed' the longer he worked with her.
We changed the house by purifying it, and we kept pushing to make it purer and purer,” the designer explains. Here, he still manages to keep a timeless aesthetic present with a curated collection of traditional furniture. With natural light at a premium in this living room, white furniture keeps it looking airy. This rustic wood table offers warmth to the pale-washed walls, while an arched window streams light in, bringing life to the design. As their family continues to grow, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been focused on making their 15,000-square-foot Hidden Hills home perfect.
Because she didn't want it to be "an afterthought," she layered it with thoughtful details like vintage rugs, luxe bedding and even nightstands gifted from mom Kris Jenner. According to her app, she always puts out, "fresh robes, bath towels, extra blankets and bottled water" for her visitors, as well. Kim and Kanye parted ways with the 9,000-square-foot Bel Air home they purchased in 2011 for $11 million and completely renovated in November 2017. Kim gave the buyer, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Marina Acton, a personal tour of the six-bedroom estate, which closed for a cool $17.8 million. News of the purchase did not come as a total shock to fans, as Kim Kardashian had revealed dreams of living in Wyoming in the next 10 years in her September cover story for Vogue Arabia.
The enterprising duo have found such an escape in homes around the corner from each other in a private Calabasas, California, enclave where the real-estate game is something of a celebrity swap meet. A couple of years ago Kourtney, the elder of the two, bought an 11,500-square-foot Tuscan-style dwelling from former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson. A month or so later Khloé snapped up a nearly 10,000-square-foot Mediterranean Revival house from Justin Bieber. Matriarch Kris Jenner is the original interior design star of the Kardashian clan. Her dramatic entryway features black-and-white tiles, oversize plants and a statement-making stairway that is almost as glamorous as her famous family.
'These are all very smart, very sensible women, there's no flighty, craziness going on there,' he said. Martyn started the project with Kylie when she wasn't even old enough to drink and was pregnant with daughter Stormi. 'It was a really fun thing to work with somebody so young and who has the money that we could really do some amazing things together. Martyn says Kendall was open to experimenting with the interior of her first house. 'Unlike all the others, Kendall has a really different look on things,' said Martyn.
