When the Dempseys discovered the Gehry house, the original façade and footprint were largely intact but the interiors had been renovated and the nearly five-acre grounds transformed by the previous owners, spa entrepreneurs Sue and Alex Glasscock, who had collaborated with decorator Michael Lee and landscape designer Scott Shrader.
“We really admired what the Glasscocks had done and wanted to respect their vision,” Patrick says of the former residents, who still live in the area, where they own the Ranch at Live Oak Malibu, an award-winning fitness resort. “So we decided to give Scott a chance to expand on his master plan for the landscape.”
