. Can I tell you a real quick story about this house and we got pregnant? then I got pregnant and then he had a house in Los Angeles, Hollywood, I had a house in Beverly Hills, they both weren't that familiar, so one day we were going for a walk and I said this was my dream house, this house here and Then he was like, I like it and he liked it, it was like, "Oh my God, he loves it because he doesn't really like it at all." That's my specialty.

He doesn't like things. I knew it was going to be our dream house and he was going to completely Redo it and it would be nice, what's the one thing you would get rid of if I wasn't around and why? Okay, I'll tell you what I think this TV station that shows Dateline would be, oh really, uh, love. It's like it brings me calm at the end of my day. How would I get rid of Rick and Morty? Do you think we can handle Rick and Morty every night? Well, it's been two years since the new season started, really yes, but I, Axl, am still working on it.

Our next project we have these new

design

s that we've been doing with James Turrell and Claudio Sebastian and Axl, so we'll be on the same mind, we'll always move on to the next one, but I think if you got rid of one thing. you would definitely get rid of the things in my closet. I feel like you think I'm a hoarder in my closet If our house had a soundtrack, what would it be and why? I mean, I think Jesus is king because that's just the verb right now. and that's the soundtrack right now, yeah, hallelujah, hallelujah, yeah, kids love to sing that, yeah, what would you say?

We always talk about wolves when we see the hallway, simple like with my

other

team. Which room has the best light for selfies? He's like, oh, that was the first thing that got me excited. Oh finally, I would honestly say theater because I like a darkroom and I like using a flash with a darkroom. When was the last time you used a swimming pool? I've never used our pool, actually, what if, can you believe it? That, but I love our pool. You know, we don't have a jacuzzi. Can you believe it? Do you think we don't have a jacuzzi?

We just make sure it's hot. Oh, that's how I think, because Kanye wanted like everyone wanted a hot tub. like weird on the side and we just wanted a really long front staircase, which has been amazing because all the babies just sit on that staircase and since all the cousins ​​come over, you said I wanted a jacuzzi, weird, no, I wanted it for the coffee. like we didn't have, I mean, everyone kept designing them on the side and it b

other

ed you so much, but kids love swimming in a hot tub, but you said no, the whole pool is going to be a hot tub, just make it really warm like the whole thing. pool all the time we build this like a very long ladder and it's not the deepest pool so the kids love it, what three words would you use to describe Axel frolicking, bald, himself or do you like the design of him?

Oh yeah, I'd say Axel's design style is wabi-sabi and that's two words, yeah, so I just have to use one more, yeah, oh, and Wabi and sabi, that's three words, that's not what What would I have guessed, this is what I think you would have said, there are three words, oh, I could do it. in four, I think you would say the best of all time, oh how nice, yeah, you wish you had. What was your favorite thing that you and Axel designed together? I mean, this hallway, just take this hallway that you loved when you found this house. and with me and Axel we pushed it to minimize it and make it as strong and simple as possible.

What is your favorite thing about the bathroom? I think you would say you would say you take selfies in that room. Yes, that's true, lighting. in the bathroom it's so good it softens all the cellulite, we have this light panel that we saw, maybe we cut it like in this Chanel store or something and the whole ceiling was this light and we did it, it's so cool that the whole ceiling It's just a giant light, but it softens everything, so I start the day by getting in the shower feeling really good about myself and thinking, "Oh my God, I really like this." I've been training so hard my lights go out and then I just went into the closet later to get dressed and realized it was just the lighting we need.

There is a type of lighting for the closet. Everyone's eyes need that kind of lighting. Yes, we still have that sink. Everyone asks: How does the sink work? How does it work? this exists, yes we did, we are designing some new sinks now, but Claudia worked on that sink, he was the one who said, push it back, remove it from the wall and it has a more zen feel, yes, the sink was against the wall and that was the big debate, so I thought, well, if I put on makeup, it'll be weird because I'm so used to having it against the wall, but then I have a lot more mirror, so it's surprising what rooms there are.

You're very proud of Well, I'm going to answer I feel like you're very proud of your closet. Why is that because he completely removed the closet rods? You have like a whole new system of how you like to fold your clothes and How you like to organize your clothes makes me so anxious because then you have to steam them instead of just laying them out. I can see all my clothes in the closet at the same time. I just don't have it on the shelves at Uline, it's not very Axl, I'd say my favorite room would be the interior of an Anish Kapoor.

I look in and say we have to live inside one of these like a huge Kapoor, yeah, yeah, okay, I was wrong, the bathroom is one of my favorite rooms and it's also the In a way, it's someone who looks like more to the concept of our houses in the future, although it is square and the other houses are more organic, but I love how the whole bathroom side is blown out and that was Chris, she was like you. Boys need a bigger bathroom. I was like, oh bathroom, and then it's like we had this huge bathroom that propelled our project backed up for like eight months.

We had just continued living with my mom for about eight months. Thank you very much Chris, thank you very much mom. I know it's something Kim and I always had in common with our

home

s. We never had many bright colors. We both always had houses of this tone. What I love about having such a minimalist house. I don't think I started out so minimalist. but after being with you I became much more minimalist, like there was too much clutter and I couldn't do as many things. I really think if I had a lot more stuff everywhere for me, that's how I organize myself and how to do things, I know where everything is, there's a place for everything even if it's hidden in the wall and a cabinet that doesn't You can see, we have a lot of stuff, well, that's the next frontier for closets. like a store pure and simple because if you go to a store you see everything that is for sale, so the closet scale probably has to be bigger so that everything can be visible, but still be arranged in a really nice because that reduces the anxiety of knowing where your things are not more minimalist, yes, more minimalist, more relaxed, our lives are so hectic and so crazy and there is always so much going on that I love coming
