Jeff Goldblum and his wife, Emilie, unveiled their newly redesigned Los Angeles guest house on July 1, 2026.
The renovation was led by AD100 architect Barbara Bestor and design firm Zeb and Crunk.
The multi-purpose pavilion is located on the couple's 1930s Spanish Revival property in the hills above West Hollywood.
It was transformed from an outdated structure into a vibrant family playground, performance space, home office, and custom gym.
The project initially began as a simple upgrade to the laundry room.
It expanded into a full structural overhaul that raised ceilings and added historical architectural details like arched doorways.
A Family-Friendly Transformation
Emilie Goldblum, a professional aerialist and former Olympic rhythmic gymnast, recalled her first gym encounter with her husband in 2011.
The couple married in 2014 and share the property with their two sons, Charlie Ocean and River Joe.
Architect Barbara Bestor described the original style as "1983 janky." She aimed to harmonize the pavilion with the property's main residence through retroactive historicization.
The ground floor now features an open social space with a Steinway & Sons grand piano. This supports Goldblum's musical endeavors with his band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Structural changes also accommodated a highly customized, pink-accented second-floor fitness studio. Emilie records athletic content there.
Bestor noted the playful personalities of Jeff and Emilie, along with their children. "It all had to be fun and relaxed," she said.
Interior spaces are decorated with bold colors, floral prints, and art pieces by Goldblum's sister, Pam Goldblum, and her husband, Jeff Kaisershot.
Emilie said, "We love the laid-back California 1970s energy—lots of color, flower prints, things that uplift."
Jeff Goldblum addressed the custom pink gym equipment, stating, "I don’t associate colors with gender." He expressed enthusiasm for the creative flexibility the new spaces offer.
Designer Jazmyne Crunk of Zeb and Crunk said the mood of the house changes depending on what's happening.
"It can be serene and stimulating, mellow and sexy, a place to recharge and a place to create," she added.
The interiors balance whimsical modern art with classic touches like a Murano glass chandelier.
Partner Zeb Knudsen noted a touch of 1930s Chateau Marmont cool and old-time Hollywood glamour.
The renovation concludes a long history of various uses for the structure, which previously hosted pinball machines, wet bars, and acting classes.
Jeff Goldblum said, "We’re going to keep discovering how this place serves us."
The family plans to utilize the flexible spaces for future artistic experiments and performances. "These rooms are so fertile and ripe for experiments and adventures," he concluded.
