When Eric Owen Moss designed his home just a block from the Pacific Ocean, he had little room to work with. He took it as a challenge. It’s been three years since the visionary US architect finished work on the Santa Monica Canyon pad.

The additional room in the five-bedroom abode just metres from the iconic Mulholland Drive, on Stone Oak Drive, wasn’t for the former Chinese TV star’s family, but for something else. “Because I was on TV, and highly involved in the luxury world, I probably have 400-plus purses and over 1000 pairs of shoes,” Chiang said.
