Alfred “Hap” Gilman may not be one of the boldface names that quicken the pulses of design junkies and real estate agents, but the Chicago-born acolyte of Frank Lloyd Wright left a string of distinguished houses across Southern California. One of those homes—a Spanish-style hacienda planted on five-and-a-half acres of gardens, macadamia trees, and citrus groves, with distant views of the Pacific Ocean—cast a siren spell over actor Rainn Wilson and his wife, writer Holiday Reinhorn. “We visited the house three or four times, and each time we found ourselves lingering, not wanting to leave. It kept drawing us back,” Reinhorn recalls. Tammy Randall Wood, the couple’s decorator and principal of Interior Archaeology, puts a finer point on the subject: “I told them straight out, ‘If you don’t buy this gem, I will.’” The interior design reflects the couple’s idiosyncratic tastes cultivated during their travels in places like Morocco and Haiti—where Reinhorn and Wilson established Lidè Haiti, a foundation that provides academic support and arts programs for adolescent girls who have been denied equal access to education. “We didn’t want the house to feel too formal or overly designed. We are two creatives sharing a home, and we wanted it to be a place where we can write and make music and tell stories,” Reinhorn says of the heady vibe. “I would describe the look as global bohemian.” Wilson adds, “The interiors of Julian Schnabel’s home in New York City was a major reference point. I’ve been to a lot of fancy houses around the world, but Schnabel’s home is one I’ll never forget. I loved the combination of high-classical design and funky iconoclasm.” Wood confesses that her initial design scheme missed the mark in capturing her clients’ aesthetic sensibilities. “Rainn and Holiday are edgy kind of people, so I thought their taste would be much more modern. I was way, way off,” she says. “After getting to know them better, we went in an entirely different direction. Imagine Georgia O’Keeffe, Schnabel, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Baudelaire having an orgy at Yves Saint Laurent’s Villa Oasis in Marrakech. That’s what we were going for,” Wood muses. Orgy, indeed. The home’s voluminous living room perhaps best exemplifies the mood of luxe bohemiana. Wood painted the walls in a pale pink color sympathetic to the terra-cotta tile floors, and she set her polychromatic decorative ensemble on a field of collaged Moroccan rugs placed atop a huge leather-trimmed sisal carpet. One end of the space opens out to the garden while the other is anchored by a bespoke bookcase. “They’re both avid readers and writers, and they wanted books everywhere,” the designer notes. Actor Rainn Wilson and his wife, writer Holiday Reinhorn, were immediately enchanted by this Alfred “Hap” Gilman–designed Spanish-style hacienda with distant views of the Pacific Ocean. After buying the property, they turned to decorator Tammy Randall Wood to help them realize their vision. The house’s entry arcade features antique wood gates and beams from Gaudalajara.
