Inside Will and Jada's 25,000 Square Ft. Home
Filed under: Entertainment

Will Smith and Jada Pinkeet-Smith recently opened their 25,000 sq ft home to the readers of Architectural Digest in their upcoming September issue.

Sporting a meditation room, a lake, tennis courts and a circular design, the Smiths spared no expense to make their 9 bedroom Calabasas home a perfect fit for their family's needs.

"Everything needed to be done by hand," Will says. "We wanted to feel the love and labor that went into every piece of this place."

Jada agreed adding, "We're very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land."
