Homes reflect the people who live in them," Meyers-Shyer tells AD. In Goodrich's case, he's a man with "very curated taste" who, after his first marriage ended, thought he'd live alone in a midcentury-style home exuding masculine energy. "Then he meets a younger woman and she moves in and they have these kids. He moved the kids into his world, which was really important to us [to convey]. Goodrich was never going to move to a house with a white picket fence."
After a "far and wide" search throughout Los Angeles, she landed on a midcentury stunner in Baldwin Hills, designed by modernist architect Miller Yee Fong in the late 1960s. Fong's Chinese-immigrant parents, Danny Ho and Muey Fong, moved in circa 1970, and as of press time, the unique residence is on the market. "It's in pristine condition with these black-tile floors and wood ceilings and a rock garden and lots of glass with sweeping views of Los Angeles. It just felt so masculine. I knew it would shoot really well," production designer Richard Bloom tells AD.
Though many of the house's standout furnishings remain onscreen-including the elevated fireplace and red sofa in the living room-the production team spruced up its interiors. ("We had to be very delicate working in there!" he says.) For visual inspiration, Meyers-Shyer consulted a Pinterest board that she first created five years earlier.
