Jonathan Togo doesn’t follow a script when it comes to home design
Jonathan Togo, the 33-year-old actor who returns to “CSI: Miami” as investigator Ryan Wolfe when the new season premieres Oct. 3, is bemused by the celebrity real estate racket.
Instead of buying into the hype that he needs more house, more furnishings he won’t use and more security in the form of a gated neighborhood, Togo is happy with something smaller and more personal, he says. Two years ago he bought his first home, a 1,800-square-foot Midcentury pad in the Hollywood Hills, and he asked himself: “What if I got a tiny house and filled it with the best things I love?”
The question explains what one sees here: an eclectic mix of vintage and new furnishings, an unexpected photography and print collection, and a personal boxing gym in the garage.
Dressed in gym shorts and a T-shirt with a stylized image of Mohammed Ali, Togo leads a tour through the 1958 post-and-beam structure that contains just a few main rooms, including a combined living-dining-kitchen area that occupies more than half the home.
Two stars from “CSI: Miami” made a special appearance last Sunday at a sporting match.
