Actors Jeff and Emilie Goldblum have revealed the interior of their newly redesigned guest house in Los Angeles [1, 2].
The tour provides a look at how the couple integrates high-concept design with personal hobbies, reflecting a trend toward multi-functional residential spaces. By showcasing specialized rooms for art and fitness, the project highlights the shift toward curated, activity-based home architecture.
The guest house, located in the Goldblums' backyard, was created in collaboration with designer Barbara Bestor and the firm Zeb and Crunk [1, 2]. The design emphasizes a playful aesthetic, utilizing bold colors, and eclectic furnishings to create a personalized atmosphere.
Among the primary features is a dedicated piano room for Jeff Goldblum, which serves as a creative hub within the structure [1, 2]. The layout also includes a creative office and a custom gym specifically designed for aerial training, tailored to Emilie Goldblum's needs [1, 2].
The project was presented as part of Architectural Digest’s “Open Door” series, which focuses on the intersection of celebrity lifestyle and interior architecture [1, 2]. The video tour serves as a visual guide to the space, accompanied by a curated shopping guide for the décor used throughout the home [1, 2].
Because the guest house is separate from the main residence, it allows the couple to isolate specific activities—such as music and intensive exercise—while maintaining a cohesive design language across the property [1, 2]. The collaboration with Bestor and Zeb and Crunk resulted in a space that balances professional design standards with a whimsical, lived-in feel [1, 2].
“The guest house features a piano room, creative office, and custom gym.”
The redesign of the Goldblum guest house illustrates the growing demand for 'specialized zoning' within residential properties. By dedicating entire structures to specific pursuits like aerial training and music, homeowners are moving away from general-purpose rooms toward highly optimized, hobby-centric environments that support both mental creativity and physical wellness.
