When it comes to lifestyles of the rich and famous, we’re far more interested in architectural elements, functional spaces and cool design these days than we are ridiculous collections of Lamborghinis and golden everything. Take Natalie Portman’s stunning new house by Barton Myers for instance. The close to 4,000-square-foot home is situated atop a hillside near Santa Barbara and has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a stunning view. On the list of great house features you’ll find a divided living/dining room and separate kitchen/bar area with triple overhead garage doors, a giant outdoor fireplace/firepit area, and a concrete and glass pool at the edge of a gorgeously landscaped terrace. The combination of materials and design styles creates a unique space that’s equally modern, international, rustic and homey all at the same time.
