After graduating from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design in 2005, she relocated to Oakland and founded Redmond Aldrich, which has since become known for its atmospheric spaces that teem with old-world details and channel breezy California style. Warner, similarly, is also a Bay Area transplant. “Our son will be graduating in a few years, so the idea of relocating in the middle of high school didn’t feel right,” says Christina, who met her husband as high school classmates in their hometown of Springfield, Illinois. “She told me, ‘My husband is very tall,’” Shanahan recalls, “and after pausing for a moment, she added, ‘And all of his friends are very tall.’”ĭespite the peripatetic nature of the NBA-over the past 18 years, Andre has also played for Philadelphia, Denver, and Miami-when Christina contacted Redmond Aldrich (after finding out the firm had designed one of her favorite stores), it was because the family were finally ready to put down permanent roots. After briefing Warner’s team on the concept she had in mind for their 7,000-square-foot and five-bedroom house-she wanted an understated yet modern French-inspired aesthetic with lots of room to host family and friends-Christina mentioned, offhandedly, to Shanahan that the house would require a fair amount of custom-made furniture. “Christina is very low-key,” recounts founder Chloe Redmond Warner, who led the project alongside senior designer Taylor Shanahan. She omitted that her husband, Andre Iguodala, is a Golden State Warriors superstar. When a Bay Area family contacted Oakland-based Redmond Aldrich Design to devise their dream home, the wife, Christina, didn’t share much information.
