Architectural Digest's September cover features the powerful and just simply iconic Smith Family. I love the fact that the family's style is so unexpected. Unlike the typical celebrity love of glamorous, modern, and/or eclectic, the Smiths opted for an adobe built estate with a worldly palette.
Nearly everything in this home as made by hand. Master woodworkers, metalsmiths, stonemasons, plasterers, and upholsterers all gave it their continuous hard work to make this 25,000 square foot estate happen. Will says," We wanted to feel the love and labor that went into every piece of this place."
The adobe living style suited them after further examination. Jada stated that Will and herself have always been very natural, organic and earthy. They really wanted a place that was closely related to the land. The inspiration for the adobe flavor started in 1998 when Will was working with costar Gene Hackman for Enemy of the State. Gene loves Santa Fe and during his visit, Will eventually started to love the feel of Santa Fe himself. What sold Will was when the were filming Wild Wild West which was filmed outside of Santa Fe. After that - Will said," I just loved that adobe flavor and feeling."
Definitely check out the new Architectural Digest September Issue. If you don't subscribe, stop by a book store and just take a peak. :D There's just so many great things happening with this magazine.
