how the other half live: hilary swank // 23 Nov 2011

Hilary Swank has come a long way since the trailer park. As well as having a rambling villa on the West Coast of the US, she now also resides in this downtown Manhattan 1,400ft² apartment. It’s a modest-sized home (well, modest for a s’leb), since Swank feels that “smaller spaces are more nurturing”, and one that designer Mark Zeff helped her to create. The Calvin Klein Home Collection features prominently in each room, and I love the space’s clean lines and its masculine, unfussy feel. I can imagine it’s a peaceful retreat for Swank in the middle of one the most hectic cities in the world. My favourite part? The living room wall clad with planks of reclaimed barn wood. Beautiful.
