  • Today Architectural Digest is welcomed to Los Angeles by actor-producers Viola Davis and Julius Tennon for a tour of their tranquil, newly-renovated family home. Davis and Tennon, along with their 12-year-old daughter, Genesis, lived in their Toluca Lake home for about five years before embarking on a renovation with LA designer Michaela Cadiz. “I always want to go big and bold, but not too bold, not garish,” says Davis, the acclaimed Oscar-, Emmy-, and Tony-winning actor and founder (with Tennon) of JuVee Productions, a company that develops film, television, theater, virtual reality, and digital projects. “We were working in South Africa, shooting The Woman King, while the renovation was unfolding, and we were inspired by the incredible color and culture there.”

    Although this is a multimillion dollar mansion and trophy property, it feels unpretentious and like an authentic home where a family resides. Viola and Julius emit such a comfortable and familial energy. Their home reflects their style, the lives they have built, and their prideful heritage. Glad they have given us a glimpse.

      OMG! I will NEVER, EVER, forget hearing her life's story! It was jaw dropping to say the least! As Viola said herself, "there is poor...& then there is paaaaawww!"Her life IS a MIRACLE in every way!
      I Love how she has retained her down-to-earth way about her. She is Truly a Beautiful human being. And that Beautiful green Grecian dress on her beautiful black skin, makes her look like the Goddess that she IS!
      You can tell she & her husband are salt-of-the-earth people, completely unpretentious. Their home, obviously a mansion, is Extravagant & Gorgeous, yet still has the feel of a normal families home.
      Viola is hands down one of my absolute top favorite actresses. She's Incredibly talented!
