English pop icon Harry Styles and American actress Olivia Wilde have been romantically linked since January when they were spotted attending a wedding hand in hand. Styles is set to star in “Don’t Worry Darling,” a psychological thriller film directed by Wilde. The celebrity couple have sparked much public discourse yet appear to be happily in love. Over the course of their relationship, the 27-year-old musician and the 37-year-old movie star have lived in the Hollywood Hills home of Styles’ longtime manager, Jeff Azoff, before their voyage to London. Last month, the duo reportedly embarked on a summer getaway with quality time in Italy.

Continuing the trajectory of their romance, the couple have now taken residence in a Los Feliz rental. The love nest is meant to serve as a temporary home as Wilde films her role in Damien Chazelle’s upcoming film “Babylon” alongside Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. The celebrity couple’s newfound abode was sold in 2019 for $3.3 million to Spanish songstress Lourdes Hernández and husband Zach Leigh who completely reconstructed and renovated the home into a modern, chic space. Now, the property is reportedly being rented by Styles and Wilde at $13,600 a month.

Built in 1981, the contemporary Los Feliz residence spans nearly 4,000 square feet and features five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Entering the gated property, the single-story home opens to a foyer with a gracious grand piano. The interior layout presents two living areas: one that is cozy and comfortable, and the formal space with built-in bookcases. The renovated Scandinavian style kitchen offers a spacious center island and breakfast nook. The décor encompasses an industrial chic aesthetic with neutral tones, pale hardwood flooring, metal light fixtures, and a contrasting array of windows to offer warmth.

Outside, the exterior space highlights a standalone bar adjacent to the swimming pool that is surrounded by lush green lawn. Additionally, the backyard offers a built-in barbeque and covered patio perfect for entertaining. Other amenities of the lovers abode include an at-home gym, hot tub, office, and music room.

In 2017, the famed Hollywood star purchased a contemporary mansion in Clearwater, Florida for $3 million under Hawker Investment Trust, Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston’s go-to trust in which his sisters are listed as trustees. Located a mere mile from the Scientology headquarters, Travolta has served as a devout member of the controversial Church of Scientology since 1975. Clearwater also provides residence to fellow Scientologists Tom Cruise, who lives in a downtown penthouse, and Kirstie Alley, who owns a multi-residence waterfront compound.

Now, Travolta is bidding farewell to his former Florida home for $4 million. The property was initially listed in March for $4.65 million but nonetheless, the 67-year-old actor is walking away with a profit. This sale comes about a year following the passing of his late wife Kelly Preston in their home due to breast cancer. In January 2020, Travolta sold his $18 million Spanish-style mansion in Los Angeles and earlier this year, parted ways with his longtime waterfront residence in Maine for $5 million. He currently owns a $2.65 million Calabasas home which he purchased with Preston in 2019.

Travolta’s former Florida home spans more than an acre of picturesque land and includes five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The open floor interior presents a modern two-story staircase and spacious foyer. The living area is equipped with an electric fireplace. The kitchen offers bar seating and a breakfast space. Upstairs, the primary suite features an ensuite bathroom with a contemporary encased spa bath and a terrace overlooking the harbor. Other luxe amenities of the home include a seaside infinity-edge pool, a separate one-room cabana, and an artist’s studio with a bath. Resting on the western shores of Clearwater Harbor, the waterfront estate is heavily gated and surrounded by foliage. The exterior space consists of an expansive boat dock and boasts panoramic views of the gleaming coast and skyline.

Antonio Banderas has established himself as a legend in his own right. The talented Spanish producer, director, actor, and renowned singer has always been associated with that old-school Hollywood glamour and is credited for many of our favorite classics. Though Banderas may have directed, starred in, and/or produced our classic favorites, the Surrey, England home that he has just listed is anything but. The stunning home may not boast a typical or vintage design, but that is what makes this $2.95M home all the more appealing. With clean and contemporary color palettes and lines, as well as floor to ceiling two-story windows for walls, the distinctive, beautifully eccentric, and special home receives incredible natural light, and once within the home, the view, fit for a star like Banderas himself, is enjoyable from every possible vantage point.

Waking up in the master bedroom, one of five luxurious bedroom spaces all of which open to their own private terraces is an absolute dream. The master of Banderas’ listed residence flaunts crisp white, grey, and black cool tones offset by rich pops of ruby furniture. Continuing the theme of sophisticated modernity, the kitchen includes simple silhouettes and is finished with neutral furnishings and light wooden accents for a serene and polished feel. Though the home features mostly neutral color palettes, the spectacular windows allow for viridescent shades to seep into the space ultimately creating a tranquil, private, and eco-centered dynamic. In fact, the contemporary and quite structured design of the home is juxtaposed by the greenery and lush Surrey woodland scenery which surrounds it. The luxurious home comes complete with a play area, dining room, living room, kitchen, work area, garden and terrace, and a cloakroom. Enjoyable amenities of the home feature a gym, sauna, patio area, cinema room, and a double garage.

As aforementioned, the massive windows provide the entire home with an extensive, open, and vast air to it. The estate is in total, 5,387-square-feet, and the living room includes various unique and Banderas-style glamorous pieces. A stylish grand piano and funky-shaped tables intrigue guests, while fun and fresh colored butterfly-embroidered furniture break up the otherwise conservative color scheme of the living room. But these vibrant butterflies are merely a taste of what’s to come; looking onward, the glass-wrapped contemporary property, known as Huf Haus after the company which prefabricated the home, comes complete with an eye-catching and brilliantly flamboyant interior sofa which serves as a hub for communication and of course, an exciting and stimulating centerpiece that seamlessly unites bold fuchsia and chartreuse hues. The interior walls are lined with vivid and striking pop art to honor Banderas’ energy and exquisite taste.

After six years of living in the UK, Banderas is excited to return to his native country of Spain where he has purchased a settlement in Malaga. It is certain that whoever calls the distinguished Huf Haus, designed by German architecture firm Huffmans Hauf, home next, will enjoy the open-plan lodging that is so full of juxtapositions. It provides both contrast and symbiosis with its environment surrounding and blends minimalist design with maximalist decor. Huf Haus uber-effectively entertained Banderas and his guests and will continue to do so for its future residents.

Dirk Somers, founder of Belgian studio Bovenbouw Architectuur, created an entirely fictional city as his contribution to the Belgian Pavilion at this year's Venice Architecture Biennale.

The display is called Composite Presence and it is comprised of 50 models of projects recently completed throughout Brussels and Flanders, in northern Belgium. The models were completed by 45 separate architecture studios and are displayed at a 7:100 scale.

Visitors of this year's Venice Architecture Biennale will be able to walk among the models, which have been placed in miniature neighborhoods.

The display lends itself to an eclectic fictional city, as the models were selected among new buildings and refurbishments that represent visual themes common to the Flanders region.

The Belgian pavilion provides visitors with a surreal Architectural experience and also aims to underline the role that competitions  play in urban design.

The Venice Architecture Biennale opened its doors on May 22nd and will be open until November 21st.
