At one point the space belonged to Cindy Sherman, who used it as a photo studio—Meg remembers attending a party there fifteen years ago. As for the motivation behind this off-camera obsession, Meg told AD, “I love renovating. I think it’s tied to living the actor’s life. As an actor, you are so rarely in control. But with decorating I am in control.” Click through to see photos from inside her newest enviable abode, and read the full story in November’s Architectural Digest—subscribe now for instant access to the digital edition.
