As work of architecture and design, the
house is distinct yet illustrative of TWG's
ethos in that it follows, as Wiseman puts
it, the "Three rules of decorating: appro-
priateness, appropriateness, appropri-
ateness. The architecture is appropriate
for LA, the interiors are appropriate to the
architecture, and the comfort and style is
appropriate to the client."
If the house has a defining feature, it is
connection, between the interior design
and the architecture, and a fluidity of the
alignment between the furnishings and
architecture. "The glass bricks of the front
door line up with the stone bricks of the
wall," Wiseman points out. "The embroi-
dered lines of the drapery line up with
the architectural spacing of the moldings
of the windows." The architecture itself
is a masterstroke, particularly where it
concerns the home's curved limestone
