apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Now, a few years back, we spotlighted the lobby at Christmas, but in honor of Escapes month, let's take a peek at one of the Chateau's more intimate Hillside Bungalows. This particular one, frequented by Humphrey Bogart, was designed by Craig Ellwood in 1956 and was an extension of the Case Study Houses. Seeing this place will help you ignore the fact that Britney Spears is poolside dropping y'alls and snapping gum, or the crafts service truck from Entourage taking up 5 parking spots (FYI, parking sucks in general over here, but rent one of the cottages and you get your own driveway)--the mid-century architecture and the privacy of being tucked away will recall memories of Hollywood's golden age. That is, until someone tells you that John Belushi OD'd a few yards away. (RIP, Bluto Blutarsky.)
