The PAD was built in 1949. Back in the day, the curious little cul-de-sac was made up of bachelor PADS and hunting lodges. The street had some interesting neighbors, such as Bing Crosby, Dennis Hopper, and ‘That’ woman that starred in ‘The Attack of the 50ft. Woman’ Yvette Vickers. Yvette lived on the drive below. Facing south, the PAD is bathed in light and embodies the spirit of nature and architecture in harmony. The house was acquired by Photographer/Director Jonathan Lennard in 2011. Over three years, he worked on the space restoring every angle and detail to origin, making it ideal for the photographic frame.The organic materials of the house fill the soul with warmth, and embody the spirit of a casual California lifestyle.
If you are one of the fortunate few, you still might see mountain lions, bobcats, owls, red tailed hawksand maybe even a few movie stars caught in a time warp . Late at night you will hear screeching owls, and you may get to hear Yvette ringing the chimes on the deck. Over the past 3 years there have been 3 Vogue covers shot here, featured as Selena Gomez's house for her video "Proust questionnaire" and has an impressive list of celebrities who have shot here, including: Jessica Chastain, Victoria Beckham, Larry King, Pedro Pascal, Ewan Mcgregor, Khaled, Kid Cudi and Zayne Lowe for Apple Music, Kate Upton, Eva Mendes. Sarah Silverman, Emily Ratajkowski and Gisele Bundchen, to name but a few.
