Will and Jada Pinkett Smith showed off their Malibu home for the upcoming issue of Architectural Digest magazine.
“Everything needed to be done by hand,” Will said about the 25,000-square-foot home. “We wanted to feel the love and labor that went into every piece of this place.
The couple says they wanted to create a retreat for their kids Trey, Jaden and Willow and called on architect Stephen Samuelson to help design the house of their dreams. “For Will and me this home was always a spiritual endeavor,” Jada says. “We’re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land.”
Will adds that he was inspired by Gene Hackman whom he worked with on the 1998 thriller Enemy of the State. “Gene loves Santa Fe,” Will says. “He has a house there, and he always talked about it. And then Wild Wild West came up, and we were shooting outside of Santa Fe. So I thought, Let me go see Gene’s house. I just loved that adobe flavor and feeling.”
