Why We Love It: Gudewill Estate may be situated in Victoria, British Columbia, but this renovated bungalow’s Moorish ironwork and tile accents make it seem like it was plucked straight off a Hollywood hillside.

The Homeowner: Sloane Klevin
Why We Love It: Mid-century finds feel right at home in the spare architecture of this Manhattan film executive’s vacation home, designed by Selina van der Geest. The black and white palette enlivened by striped textiles is as calming as the home’s woodsy surroundings.
