Taking inspiration from her own childhood memories, Jennifer Garner crafts a cozy California home and garden where she and her family can put down roots

Of her new home, Jennifer Garner notes, "I wanted it to feel old and cool and historic, but I also wanted to make it work for a big family with a lot of things going on." The actor, who reprised the role of Elektra in this past summer's Deadpool & Wolverine, will start shooting the second season of the Apple TV+ series The Last Thing He Told Me later this year.

Nestled in LA's sun-dappled hills, the resulting retreat is a dexterous blend of farmhouse charm and contemporary comfort, one that prioritizes togetherness, usefulness, and down-to-earth living-the kind of place that can handle muddy feet and impromptu dance parties in the living room.

It's a thoughtfully designed haven that defies Hollywood stereotypes-just like Garner herself, who in addition to her acting work, serves on the board of Save the Children and is a cofounder of Once Upon a Farm, a company that makes organic, farm-fresh snacks and meals for babies and kids.

Garner's search for the perfect place began more than five years ago. "I realized that I was going to need to move out of a dream house kind of scenario," she says. "I looked and looked for a house to move into, but I needed privacy, and any house that had privacy was more grand than I felt comfortable in."

This challenge led her to consider crafting something from scratch. "I was frustrated, but finally said, Okay, I think I'm going to have to build and found this lot." She then enlisted the now Tennessee-based husband-and-wife architect and interior designer duo Steve and Brooke Giannetti, with whom she had worked before on previous projects. (Designer Laura Putnam also collaborated on the project.)

Elements of Style - Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry celebrate 10 years of artistic exploration at Hermès

Last March, Hermès brought its home universe to life in eye-popping fashion at a one-night-only extravaganza staged at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The lavish performance featured dozens of dancers showcasing the French luxury house's furniture, tableware, textiles, and decorative objects in elaborately choreographed vignettes that seemed to riff on the unboxing ritual so popular on social media-a supersized spectacle of conjuring magic from ordinary crates. The event also coincided with the 10th anniversary of Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry's tenure as artistic directors of the Hermès home division.
