Brad Pitt's Hollywood Hills Home
The rumors are true. It seems that Brad Pitt is more than a great actor and a pretty face — he also knows quite a bit about architecture, as proved by his modernist masterpiece nestled high in the Hollywood Hills. Beautifully simple and exuding a zen-like calm — it’s a compelling space even before you find out that it’s home to Hollywood star Brad Pitt. The fact that he also had a hand in creating it merely adds to the appeal. "The most important thing I learned with this house is you have to let go of a lot of great ideas for the sake of harmony… I love that architecture is this huge art piece you can be inside. I believe it lifts your soul and affects your mindset," says Brad. Find out all about Brad’s pad in the gallery, which contains scans of Brad Pitt’s Hollywood Home as featured in the cover story of the July 2006 issue of Elle Decoration Magazine!

# 61 | anneaI completely agree. I didn’t like him when he was with you know who. I’m def. a fan now.
Love the house. Seems pure in design and chi flow. Brady seems like a pretty smart character. Looks like a good place for the kids too. Atmosphere is everything………
Ok so I’ve already stated that this house is not my style but the house in Los Feliz has a kitchen to die for! Dayummn!
#99, Ivy, I thought you were not going to attack other people’s comments when they are related solely to the house….Having a comment about its safety for kids is within that realm and not necessarily an indictment of the home’s owner
#61 and 98… Likewise, I felt the same when GP and JA were in his life. Now I am so fascinated and sense the depth of their love for each other and, of course, their children. I am not sure why I feel this way about the pair. Any thoughts?
# 80 | Kane - Tell us why we should join your forum. Maybe that will help in recruiting new members. :D
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your co-Pilot Speaking. We’re still experiencing some turbulance but be rest assured in about 300miles, we’ll have Hurricane Haters behind us. Keep your seat belt fasten.
#38- I Totally Agree, whats with so called smart and humanitarian folks using fur? Bleh!
All About AngelinaDon’t hate me because I’m most beautiful. (Photo courtesy People magazine)Unlike some other celebs that seem to be making nothing but all the wrong moves lately (ahem), thus far 2006 seems to be the year of Angelina Jolie. The woman has been busy and, between you and me, I think it’s time for a little maternity leave. Not only was Jolie named People’s Most Beautiful Person (and along with Brad, Maddox and Zahara, one-fourth of People’s "Most Beautiful Family"), she’s now also made the Forbes Magazine list of 10 most generous celebrities (a publicist denies Jolie and Pitt pre-sold photos of her as-yet-unborn child to People for a $3.6 million donation to UNICEF).This isn’t really an unexpected honor considering the actress has made a second career out of globe-trotting humanitarian work (she’s been a United Nations Goodwill ambassador since 2001). But for this celebritologist, all the do-gooding makes it harder to whisper knowingly about vials of Billy Bob’s blood, titter about lip locks with her brother, wonder about unseen tattoos and, of course, side with Jen. Who can help but feel anything but admiration for a woman who adopts two children and works pretty tirelessly to bring help to refugees the world over? As detailed in People, "Hollywood’s most dedicated humanitarian stays gorgeous inside and out." I don’t know if this was posted before…sorry if it was. WASHINGTON POSTBlech.Maybe, though, we feel the same way we did about that girl in high school who not only led the cheerleading squad, but also dug Nirvana and took every opportunity to volunteer and was actually cool to everyone — from jocks to rockers? Just like Angelina, she was all things to all people. We didn’t really like her. Or maybe we did. Maybe we’re just jealous. Maybe we should get another tattoo, donate to a charity of our choice and shut up.
# 100 | Not sure You’re right. The kids might hurt themselves on the concrete area or they may not. I have no idea what kind of childproofing Brad has done but from all accounts childproofing is taking place. I’ll judge (not that he seeks my approval) when and if I get to see the final results. Until then its just a whole lot of what ifs.
I think the house is very ZEN. Open….. Simple…inviting and natural. No gawdy moldings and heavy curtains and it is a house that looks like the windows let in a lot of the outdoors natural beauty. The lines of the house are linear and graphic……the furniture curvature and oval and circular. Kind of like the earthand it’s simplistic form. I love the natural pine floors.l environmental ??? lRegarding the leather and sheep. I do leather work……mostly deer and cow. Most cows that provide the leather for furniture are already raised and killed for food consumption. To make good use of the skins in true tribal /environmental spirit is utilizing resources that would otherwise be deposed of. People don’t go out and just "kill" these cows for sport. Nor sheep. Every part of nature has it’s purpose. In Canada as well as America, the population of deer became so overpopulated that had they not been hunted the ecosystems become unbalanced and many other insects, birds, flowers, trees become endangered. Large scale losses of agricultural crops, landscaping, and gardens are also damaged by animal overpopulation. Recent data suggests that deer are now causing nearly $1 billion in farm, garden, and timber damage annually in the U.S. Impedance of woodland tree and native plant regeneration’s extremely costly.For the past ten years or more, deer have been continually browsing virtually all plant material under five feet in height throughout many forest areas. The end result is a loss of many native plants and wildflowers and a significant decrease in the number of young sapling trees that will replace older trees as they die back. The long-term stakes could be dire with erosion and the potential loss of many hardwood forests. Also there is a higher incidence of Lyme disease then ever before. Sheep are also found to have varying years of overpopulation. I do think that the sheep are more unique in their grazing needs. There are many areas in Mexico that have an overpopulation of sheep vs. Big Horn sheep which is a more limited species. We can’t just go off and start spewing environmental bru ha-habecause we don’t like someone. Get the facts. Do the homework. then have a debate. Off the shoulder comments ranks you on the bottom of the intelligence chain.Same people that mock AJ & BP for saving humang lives in Africa and then become animal activists for cows and sheep as a higherconsciousness for life. Go figure.
Love him….That photo of Brad is great !!!!
i am not really a big fan of brad whenhe was still with aniston,bec. i really cant stand that USER!she just used brad for her hidden plans.but now,since brad was hooked up with angelina,i became his biggest fan.actually am a bit obssessed about them now.they seem very interesting couple,both are very gorgeous and successful in their own rights.they are unpretentious and they are good to look at.hope that aniston will find a man that can live up to her expectations.she seems at lost right now.whocan blame her,from BRAD PITT TO VINCE VAUGH?oh goodness,it hurts so much to see brad with aj and aniston with just vince!
LOLOL…finally an artucle that hits the nail on the head - loves it. Thanks SANDI for posting…was that the Washington Post you say?
# 88 | Original jpf | I had no idea you had lived there, how lucky for you. :) I believe I’ve also heard that area has wonderful schools and that all the store owners are very against the papps and try to keep them out because most of their clients are celebrities. Perfect for Bamzs!
# 114 | CLINIQUAYes it’s Washington Post. Around the time People Most Beautiful edition came out. I love the last line !!!!! :)
#99, Ivy, I thought you were not going to attack other people’s comments when they are related solely to the house….# 105 | Too Cold |No, what I actually said that I didnt have a problem with those who didnt like the house’s style. Everyone has different tastes.. and it doesnt make one right or wrong if you like it or don’t. I just didnt agree with those who seemed to not like it for other reasons. (out of some personal dislike of BAMZS) As far as the safety of the house is concerned… other posters have already mentioned that the house is still being renovated. I trust Brad and Angie will have the home child proofed prior to moving in. BTW, I did not attack anyone else’s comments. So I dont know where you got that idea.
Well said.. why some dont think that Angie or Brad can or have kidproofed any house is beyond me. They havent moved in FOR A REASON…. geesh! ^^^# 99 | Ivy |Ivy, that would make waaaaay to much sense!jpf
# 100 | Not sure -I don’t see anything dangerous with those stairs, (children and adult hurt themselves all the time by just doing nothing, my nephew yesterday hurt himself as he walked into the closet door without looking, so now my sister has to remove the door?..) My friend has a home at Palos Altos, half of her house is on steal, and the lower half of the house is anchor by the lime stone, the basement is carve out like a cave like with wood beam holding it up and lime stones stair, very uneven, she has so many stairs way to the garden, to the guest house, to the back yard, and most of them are uneven blending in with nature, she has this one path way (3-4 feets wide) carving out from the side of the hills, lead to down to a private rocky beach area…it’s like a house for tarzan. Any way, she has twin daughters, (5 years old) and 2 nephews (age 3 and 6). These children are everywhere, bare foot most of the time, climbing stairs, running down the path way…so far, beside a few minor skin scrach or a few falling down while running is part of life, but nothing major. My niece and nephew love the house as well, I think as we getting older, we are more cautious and always think of what if?, we lost the sene of adventures, freedom, we constraint ourselves with fears…I think we should just take off our shoes and running with the children…
Brad looks HHHHHHHHHHHOT!
Ivy, that would make waaaaay to much sense!jpfI’m starting to believe you are right. lol # 118 | Original jpf
You americans are very stupid regarding homes. Why for the God sake, modern means cold and traditional warm? In Europe all new houses are modern, and better said contemporary. And all this old and traditional houses and castels are dirty and cold and old and nothing works in there.Every time has its way how to build homes. Why should I build colonial home like 200 years ago and feel more comfortable than in Brads house.We need to do many experiments in house buildings today because not just traditional is god.You go Brad. Show to America that modern can be familiar and warm. Just put guardrail on the terase, I dont bilieve code will let him finish it that way and live kids to play there.
Queengelina Jolieby Peter Kurthwww.dissidentvoice.orgJune 27, 2006 Folks, I’ve got some crazy ideas running through my head this week. At least, they sound crazy, but I’m hoping you’ll stay the course while I connect the dots, which is what we do nowadays with ideas on the ground, if you will: We connect the dots. The last thing we’d want to do is cut and run from an idea just because it’s nutty. Why, there’d be no end to it! If we cut and run from every nutty idea that comes along, thousands will have died for nothing and might prevent thousands of others from dying for the same reason. On the ground, if you will. So, please, stay the course with me while I connect the dots. OK?Frankly, I get tired of all these media phrases (“on the ground,” “if you will,” etc.). But frankly, also, that’s where the craziest of my crazy ideas comes from this week — repetition. You know — saying the same thing over and over. And over. “Catapulting the propaganda,” as Mr. Bush might say. Repetition. I woke up this morning and saw what must have been the 50th story about the death of TV producer Aaron Spelling, the 300th story about Al Gore’s global-warming movie, the thousandth story about Hillary Clinton’s “fundraising savvy,” the millionth story, each, about Iraq, bird flu, hurricanes and the “war on terror,” and finally — I’m not making this up — the billionth story about Angelina Jolie and her baby, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born in the movie-star equivalent of a manger in Namibia and destined for a glory as yet unknown and, presumably, unscripted.Which is why I decided that what America needs, right now, is a monarchy, and that Angelina Jolie should be queen.Like I said, it sounds ridiculous, but hear me out — I’m just connecting the dots. Not only does America need a monarchy, but, in my opinion, it needs an absolute monarchy. Not one of those squishy “constitutional” numbers they have in England, for instance, but an honest-to-God, autocratic, crack-the-whip, Russian-style despotism, with all power invested in a single person, whose will is law and who is, in the end, inseparable from the State itself. We need someone at the helm who rules by fiat, with an iron fist — or, in Angelina’s case, iron lips — and who’ll get America back on track as quick as you can say “Coochie-coo!”I know — you’ll tell me that we already have one of these in the form of George W. Bush. But the problem with Bush is that he was elected — or not elected — into office, and we need to do away with elections altogether. First, they’re fraudulent. Second, they cost a great deal of money, which could be better spent on diamond-studded pacifiers and gilded bassinets. Third, we need someone at the top with genuine spiritual values and a reputation for good works, such as Angelina has, not some cross-eyed Presbyterian cracker with shoulder padding. And this person would have to be a woman, because, let’s face it, a woman as ********** is easier to sell. We’re going to need some advertising to get the idea of absolute monarchy across to the four or five hundred Americans who still believe in representative democracy. Under Bush, most Americans have proved beyond a shadow of doubt that they don’t care a hoot about democracy, but those few remaining holdouts are a hard nut to crack, and only a woman with iron lips can do it.But the real beauty of Angelina Jolie as queen of America is that her reign wouldn’t change a thing. Congress could go on doing what it does best, which is passing money around to itself and its donor base. The Supreme Court can stay just as it is, since it works for the Ruler already. Bush and his friends could keep on having wars in the Middle East — only they’d have to pay for them out of their own pockets and send their own children to die there, because Angelina doesn’t like war. No, not at all — she’s against it, except as it provides her with an opportunity to adopt abandoned babies and give them silly names like Zahara. Angelina could even keep the tattoo on her arm that says “Know Your Rights,” but since she’s the only person in America who’d have any rights, this would need to be seen a personal rather than a collective expression.I rush to assure you that, as queen, Angelina’s husband, Brad Pitt, would play no political role apart from Prince Consort and farm stud. I suppose he might be allowed to help Angelina decide which war-zone should cough up their next adopted child — Somalia? Darfur? South Central L.A.? — but that’s as far as it would go. Of course, as an absolute monarch, it would be Angelina’s choice what to do with Brad in the long run, but consorts have been throttled behind staircases before, and I’m not sure anyone would mind if Ocean’s 13, 14 and 15 never got made.One last thing: Someone will need to look out for Jennifer Aniston. First, she needs better parts in better movies. Second, absolute autocrats have been known to lose it sometimes, throwing their slippers at the wrong people, and we’ll want to make sure that Angelina doesn’t have Jennifer stuck in a tower or walled up or something. I happen to know — because I was at the supermarket and saw the headlines — that “It’s Jen’s Time For Happiness,” and, if she can’t be queen, the new Jolie-Pitt dynasty could at least make her Duchess of Alimony. Then she could have a baby of her own and call it Gettysburg Passé or something just as cute as Shiloh Nouvel. That’d show ‘em, right?After that, I see no problems on the horizon.Long Article, cut some parts out.
#119 Estelle,good post.Your friends Palos Altos house sounds interesting and fun.
*BTW, I did not attack anyone else’s comments. So I dont know where you got that idea.*Here it is, thanks #118 for inadvertently pulling it out:*Well said.. why some dont think that Angie or Brad can or have kidproofed any house is beyond me. They havent moved in FOR A REASON…. geesh!*
