![]() Inspired in part by Old Westbury Gardens on Long Island, the home (whose exterior was built on a soundstage, with enhancements added digitally) instantly conveys establishment status. Then there’s the Georgian redbrick manor where Daisy-Nick’s cousin and Gatsby’s obsession-lives with her unfaithful husband, Tom. And materials that reflect Nick’s innocent nature. “It was all about finding what we thought were quintessential Long Island motifs,” explains Martin. Outside, a porch with an Adirondack swing overlooks flower beds and a small lawn, while Stickley-esque furniture, quartersawn oak beams, and moss-green tiles conjure an Arts and Crafts vibe inside. The over-the-top splendor of the Gatsby mansion stands in contrast to Nick’s neighboring residence, envisioned as a homey cottage. Though Gatsby’s bedroom has traditional arched windows, the decor is all up-to-the-minute ’20s glamour, with richly polished hardwoods, a harlequin-pattern wall covering of silk crisscrossed with ribbons of wood, and a gray and gold Art Deco–style rug designed by Martin.
