Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Buys Wallace E. Cunningham–Designed Razor Hous. The architect used white concrete, stainless steel, and glass to create the coastal property. 

Alicia Keys’ husband had been tracking their chance to buy the ultra modernist mansion for eight years. The superstar couple worked with AD100 designer Kelly Behun to craft their literal “Dreamland”. 

The Razor House is a novel trophy property planned by one of Architectural Digest’s Top 100 Designers. Unparalleled quality and flawless configuration make this Art-Filled Modernist Home Overlooking the Pacific Ocean a genuine bit of workmanship.

Built from white cleaned cement and floor-to-roof glass, this perfect work of art suspends the limits of common living and orders astonishing continuous perspectives of the sea, open sky and regular scene.

Kelly Behun, the interior designer introduced warmth using wood elements, Moroccan wool rugs, and seating upholstered in soft fabrics. The color palette is tempered, Behun uses a lot of warm neutrals, such as sandy hues, caramel browns, and buttery cognacs.

The house is decorated with works of art that are part of the private collection of Alicia Keys and Kasmin Dean, a kind and careful selection of objects and images from Black artists, such as Kehinde Wiley, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye to Barkley L. Hendricks, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Henry Taylor.

Resting high above Torrey Pines State Reserve, this 11,000-square-foot piece de resistance showcases 4 rooms and 6 showers, breathtaking two level visitor house and elements private access to Black’s Beach.
