A husband and wife design duo have showed off the results of an incredible transformation of a 1920s castle before it was bought by American actors - and partners - Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus.
Robert and Cortney Novogratz, who have starred in two reality TV shows about their designs, renovated the LA home to a stunning modern mansion, complete with a swimming pool, a master suite balcony looking over the city and spacious contemporary living spaces.
Perched on a gated near the Chateau Marmont, the stylishly unconventional 1920s villa presides over almost half an acre and boasts three floors with four bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The home, which is featured in the couple's new book Novogratz Design Fix: Chic and Stylish Tips for Every Decorating Scenario, was an old castle that had been built in the 1920s by a silent film star.

In the 100 years since, there have been only three owners, but due to each having wildly different design tastes, there were numerous small rooms, different types of hardwood flooring and an illogical floor plan.
With the house feeling more like a maze of tiny rooms and multiple doorways, everything had to be gutted, redone and modernized by the designing duo, while keeping the charm and period feel of the house.
The Novogratz couple decided to open the floor spaces up to give a loft-like look to the castle, now owned by The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus and his partner National Treasure star Diane Kruger for a reported $8.5million.
With an 'Old Hollywood' exterior, the castle features plenty of fairytale-like towers, while offering a more contemporary feel inside - including a step-down living room with a modern fireplace, adjacent to a separate dining space with French doors that open on to a balcony.
