Let it rip! In honor of the release of season 4 of "The Bear," we're taking a look back at our visit to chef @mattymatheson's restaurant, Prime Seafood Palace. Matty worked with architect Omar Gandhi (@og_architect) to imbue the dining room with a stylish, timeless feel, where warm tones and sinuous furniture compliment his menu's hearty offerings. Revisit the “wooden cathedral” at the link in our bio.

Today, AD travels to the woodlands of Oregon to tour the breathtaking Newberg Residence, a remarkable home designed to exist in harmony with the nature surrounding it. Perched over an old logging pond, this one-of-a-kind home is the work of Jim Cutler of Cutler Anderson Architects (@cutler_anderson), who envisioned a structure not imposed on the land, but integrated with it. Built like a bridge over water, the residence is a testament to Cutler’s philosophy: to never harm natural life through his work, but instead to foster and encourage it.

“Wright’s influence is obvious, but Jackson had his own distinct interpretation of organic modernism,” notes LA-based architect Barbara Bestor (@bestorarchitecture), who recently completed an exhaustive restoration and expansion of a phenomenal house originally authored by Foster Rhodes Jackson, a Frank Lloyd Wright acolyte in 1953. Bestor expanded the footprint of the existing 7,000-square-foot structure with an appended 3,000 square feet of sleeping accommodations, offices, and creative spaces for its multigenerational inhabitants. Her emendations amount to a cut-and-paste exercise remarkable for its apparent seamlessness—discerning old from new is no easy feat. See how Bestor Architecture transformed the unique property at the link in our bio.

For nearly two decades, Michael Govan, the CEO and Wallis Annenberg director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, has proselytized his vision for @lacma reborn, a place liberated from 19th-century academic thinking about the proper role and form of a civic arts institution. “A permanent collection shouldn’t be permanent in its presentation,” he contends, rejecting strict narratives based on chronology, geography, and artificial notions of creative progress. Today, as the new David Geffen Galleries designed by Swiss Pritzker Prize winner Peter Zumthor in collaboration with @skidmoreowingsmerrill , near completion in advance of their official 2026 opening, Govan is at last ready to unveil the linchpin of his Herculean transformation. Head to the link in our bio for an exclusive look at LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries. Photography by @yerinmok; words by @mayer.rus.

"I wanted it to feel like an old cigar-slash-’70s shag pad,” says actor Olivia Cooke with a laugh, recalling the unconventional brief she gave her interior designers, Lisa Jones and Ruby Kean of the London- and New York–based firm @atelier_lk_. “But then I also wanted it to have this sort of Japanese-slash-château vibe.” That last bit feels particularly fitting for Cooke, who most know as Queen Alicent Hightower, the cunning second wife of King Viserys I Targaryen in #HBO’s hit series #HouseoftheDragon.

"It was the ultimate gift: A few weeks before I got married in 2005, Miranda Brooks offered to design my garden as a wedding present. Miranda needs little introduction: She is one of the world’s leading landscape designers and, luckily for me, she was my colleague at Vogue, where we collaborated on many stories for the magazine and had become great friends. I was thrilled, but there was a hitch—I didn’t have a garden for Miranda to design ... Around 2011, after I’d had two children, Ursula and Tess, my then husband and I bought a tumbledown farm high on the Cotswold Hills ... The moment we started planning the build, Miranda began designing the garden, imagining the levels, lawns, beds, and trees when there was nothing. Over 18 months ... Miranda and I went back and forth discussing the garden that would one day exist." — @therealplumsykes Revisit the novelist's flower-filled oasis and shop the look at the link in our bio.

Carlos Morera could never have predicted the headwinds that his business would incur in 2025. A week into the new year, the landscape design principal at LA-based AD100 firm @geoponika_ watched in misery as parts of his city were reduced to rubble. Then, come springtime, increases in import tariffs induced a sense of uncertainty and anxiety across industries. As of this month, increased ICE raids have rocked his practice, says Morera, whose firm works closely with immigrant installers, maintenance teams, and plant growers. “For any business owner, losing half of your staff with a decade of expertise and having to retrain a new generation of green workers is a devastating prospect,” he shares in an op-ed for AD PRO.

“I wanted a room with a fireplace,” says photographer @anita_calero_arboleda . In New York, that’s a bit of a tall order—wood-burning fireplaces can only be maintained in homes built before 2015. When Calero closed on this studio apartment with the relative rarity in an Art Deco building last August, its interiors had been largely stripped of any historic detailing. Inspired by Calero’s love of Japan and a desire for a cozy yet elegant home, woodworkers Charlie Herrera and Fabian Sukmangal built the apartment’s new mahogany millwork, including a new desk with integrated cabinetry, mantel, kitchenette concealed behind accordion doors, and a chic, removable radiator cover. Tour her warm and distinguished home at the link in our bio. Photography by @monicabarrenecheolivares; words by @efazzare
