Designer Randolph Duke has dressed so many Hollywood starlets that he actually alphabetizes them on his website, presumably to avoid showing favoritism. And while we have no way of knowing whether his designs are lucky charms come awards season, the fact is that Angelina Jolie, Hilary Swank and Marcia Gay Harden all rose to the podium in Duke's designs.
His Hollywood Hills home won the AIA award for best residential design in 2007 and was recently featured in Architectural Digest. It is also for lease at $24,500 a month.
The modern home, designed by XTEN Architecture, is set on a promontory and seems to float above the city. The 4,800-square-foot house has three bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. There are an additional 6,500 square feet of usable outdoor terraces, decks and gardens and hundreds of feet of electric glass walls that open to them: Push a button, the walls retract and the room is open to the outdoors. Sure beats the bother of opening a window.
