Though there are many actors who fall for architecture once they make it big, snatching up multimillion-dollar properties the way others buy groceries, there are few who can say they’ve ever formally studied the trade. British-born actress Hannah Ware, however, had the chops for design long before she found herself moving into a quintessential post-and-beam in the Hollywood Hills.
“I have a degree in art history and I became really interested in the modern architecture component,” Hannah says. “I thought marrying the social component of architecture and the design aspect would be the perfect job for me. This was all theoretical. I didn’t take into account that I have very bad spatial awareness and, practically speaking, my mind leaves a lot to be desired.”
