Courteney Cox and her not-so-humble Malibu abode were recently featured on Elle Decor.

The Friends and Cougar Town star, who wanted to be an architect before she got into acting, has a passion for design and decorating that is evident by the photos of her new Malibu, California home.

Although Elle Decor reports that Cox’s previous Lautner-designed home was “the most amazing place [she] ever lived in,” Cox said that architect Michael Kovac and interior designer Trip Haenisch “gave me everything I wanted” in a new home and that it is “exactly how I want to live.”

But the work that went into Cox’s perfect place wasn’t easy. According to the Elle Decor, Cox focused on every minute detail, from the color of the tennis courts to the way “guests interacted and moved through the space” and held “‘intense’ once-a-week planning meetings that lasted three hours.”

The result, of course, was well worth it. From its decadent, open design with wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean to its “guest cottages… screening room, and saltwater swimming pool,” Cox planned a house that looks absolutely amazing.
