For decades, French-born creative director Marc Atlan has helped shape the visual worlds of Comme des Garçons, Helmut Lang, Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent. His own Los Angeles home was approached with the same attention to atmosphere and detail: a landmark 1923 Mediterranean Revival in historic Lafayette Square.

Built in 1887 for FDNY Engine Company No. 55, 185 Lafayette Street has evolved from firehouse to studio and residence, now serving as contemporary artist Daniel Arsham’s live-work home in SoHo.

In the 1980s, when Nasser Nakib was a junior architect working in Soho, he used to slip over to Bond Street on his lunch breaks just to stand on the cobblestones. “In Provence you’re in a lavender field and you think, I could die happy here,” he says. “In New York, this block is it for me.”

“Aberdeen is a home with a deep soul,” says the Breaking Bad actor. Past owners include Tim Curry, Robert Pattinson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Jim Parsons, who sold the property to Paul in 2019 for $6.95 million.

The late, influential art-world power broker Barbara Gladstone’s Gilded Age waterfront retreat — one of the last intact turn-of-the-century shingle “summer cottages” on Long Island’s North Fork — is for sale for $12 million

“Aberdeen is a home with a deep soul,” says the Breaking Bad actor. “It was the first home built on the hillside of Los Feliz with a garden that has been maturing for over 100 years. The original finishes that make this home magic are still intact, which is a testament to how much respect all of its owners have had for this space over the years.”

Built for George Crocker, son of railroad magnate Charles Crocker, the 58-room Jacobean-style mansion was modeled after Bramshill House, one of the largest and most important Jacobean prodigy house mansions in England.

Originally built in Amsterdam in the 17th century, the property was dismantled and rebuilt twice in New York City, and underwent a “gothic fantasy makeover” under British-born architect Frederick Sterner in 1910.
