Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman Reveal Their California Country Home. Working with Studio Shamshiri, Anne Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman reinvent a historic Alpine-inspired getaway cabin that Yves Saint Laurent once owned was destroyed by fire in 1917.
Hathaway and Shulman describe the allure of their picturesque property in terms of a love affair. “The minute we came up the driveway and saw this incredible panoramic view unfold in front of us, we were hooked,” Shulman recalls. Says Hathaway, “It was the ideal combination of romance and great design. Our initial instinct was that this was going to be a very important place in our lives. I could really see raising a family here.”
For Shamshiri, the fairy-tale architecture provided a jumping-off point for the fanciful, decades-spanning interiors. “We were dealing with a California fantasy of a Swiss chalet, built as a hunting lodge and a winter getaway, so we looked at a lot of historical Swiss imagery,” she explains.
