The light-filled house had doubled as his studio. What's the fastest way to take a trip through time? Go to Josephine House for lunch, where everything is staged with Southern Living nostalgia in mind, right down to marble counters, whitewashed shiplap walls, and the seersucker-uniformed staff. Josephine House is the type of place where you can easily dither away the afternoon sipping iced teas and grazing on cool melon salads. A huge oak shades the patio while the low hum of oscillating fans lulls you into a lazy midsummer languor.
STUDIO
The menu changes daily and generally features healthy foods that belong to the season; the summer menu, for instance, relies heavily on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and melon, all brightened with fresh herbs and local cheese. Smoked Gulf snapper on a salad of minted watermelon and cucumber ($18) struck the perfect note for a 103-degree day. A puff-pastry savory tart with roasted tomatoes and eggplant ($12) evoked picnics and croquet on grass-covered lawns. Chef Jen Jackson, formerly of Lenoir and Swift's Attic, has taken a few classy old standards and injected new life into them using a modern farm-to-table sensibility.
Inside Richard Neutra’s Historic Chuey House
“I think if I wasn’t woodworking, if I wasn’t doing other creative things, playing music, I would probably miss it a lot more.” Plus, “there’s still a lot of baking in the house,” adds Duff, who shoots his cookbooks here. Duff credits his laid-back attitude to this house, where he and Johnna moved after their wedding — it’s surrounded by nature up a steep, unpaved road off a winding canyon highway — and all the hobbies he’s delved into here. He’s been making toys for their daughter Josephine, 2, and practicing the guitar for his band Foie Grock (a play on “foie gras” and “rock and roll”). Along with the house itself, the developers purchased the more than 200 paintings of Robert Chuey’s estate.

Ho-hum empanadas, for instance, thrill again when they are filled with roasted onions and shishito peppers ($12). A croissant sandwich is a novelty when pastry is flaky and the meat inside it is thin-sliced smoked duck breast accented by tart cherry jam and cabbage slaw ($16). A BLT is elevated by grilled sourdough, roasted tomatoes, herbed pesto, and mustard greens.
An old-fashioned vibe encapsulated at Josephine House
Mediterranean culture, the 20th century avant-garde style and the history of art are the foundation of its creative conception. Their work has been recognized by the domestic and international press and media. On their first date they talked for seven hours, and two weeks later they took a spontaneous trip to Hawaii together.

On Thursday, July 4th, Josephine House will be closedfor the holiday.
Located in the heart of Madrid, on Calle Santa Ana 15 in Madrid's Rastro neighborhood, this space unites the concepts of a showroom (with pieces of furniture for sale) and a décor studio. It is characterized by its selection and edition of objects and artistic pieces. The lights in the house suddenly flick on as the power finally returns, and Duff lets out a little “Yay! ” in the middle of describing his own light-bulb moments with his daughter.
Rather than tear down any walls, Campbell’s creative solution is to repurpose it as a dining room and build a larger one in the new addition. In 1956, when the still-untamed Hollywood Hills were an experimental architectural lab, the modernist Richard Neutra designed a house there for the painter-and-poet couple Robert Chuey and Josephine Ain Chuey. Built in the International style, the house featured Neutra’s signature emphasis on the Southern California landscape, namely glass walls that let in natural light and framed 360-degree views of the hills and sea. It gave the Chueys space for Robert’s studio practice and their social experiments in psychedelics.
Just West of My Heart
However, since it opened in February, Josephine House has taken on a life of its own. Lunches and late afternoon comestibles at Josephine House stand on their merit. Josephine House, set in a little blue cottage in the charming Clarksville neighborhood just west of downtown Austin, is available for full buyouts that includes both Indoor and outdoor seating on the wraparound patio. The Apartment, located above sister restaurant, Jeffrey’s, is ideal for intimate daytime parties or meetings with all the Josephine House favorites.
Perla’s Seafood & Oyster Bar
As a writer, artist and flutist, Johnna shares his passion for being creative. “It was obvious pretty quickly that we were really into each other,” he recalls. Food Network fans watched Duff create hundreds of over-the-top, hyperrealistic cakes at his Baltimore bakery Charm City Cakes for 10 seasons on Ace of Cakes. The baker and his team drew viewers in with their funny rapport and ingenious ideas about how to make an edible Jeep with working lights or the best way to transform a hunk of modeling chocolate into Betty White. Shulman’s photos show the house with reflecting pools and spider leg intact.
Brunch at Josephine House feels a little like dining at a friend’s (very nice) house. And the best part is that it’s available all week. This is one of our favorite spots in Clarksville for healthy-ish dishes—like the rice bowl served with roasted and pickled vegetables, arugula, and a poached egg.
Now there’s a reason for me to be making toys,” he says. He’s made her a set of blocks, a busy board and a fish-shaped clock, and he’s working on a chameleon marionette. The breadth of Robert Chuey’s paintings spanned portrait, still life, landscape, and abstraction. The upscale seafood restaurant Perla’s has an iconic South Congress patio. Casa Josephine is an interior design and architecture studio based in Madrid, founded and led by Iñigo Aragón and Pablo López Navarro.
Despite the stunning vistas and storied provenance, however, when the house went on the market for $10.5 million in 2017, there wasn’t a buyer in sight. As the asking price continued to drop, the conservancy gave Naouri and Choi its blessing, and they bought the home as well as the hundreds of paintings in Robert Chuey’s estate last spring. “The size of the house was quite small for the price they were asking,” explains Los Angeles developer Philippe Naouri, who with partner Eric Choi bought the house two years later for the reduced price of $5.75 million. The modest 2,000-square-foot house “didn't match the price point” of the highly coveted 1.5 acres it sat on, Naouri says, tempting prospective buyers to raze the historic house and start fresh with a profitable 20,000-square-foot mansion.
Two houses refurbished with rest and comfort in mind. Two perfect accommodations to enjoy the good and simple life with friends or family. With a capacity of people (La Rioja) and 4-5 (Segovia), both are rented as a complete house.
