The Los Angeles Times visited the Laguna Beach home CSI: Crime Scene Investigation showrunner Carol Mendelsohn shares with Andy Wolf, an attorney and former president of the Pacific Design Center. It took a year of planning and two-and-a-half years of work to turn the ramshackle building into a stunning retreat. “This is our getaway house,” Mendelsohn shared. “We can drive here in an hour, spend the night and feel like we’ve been to Hawaii for a week. We renew our energy here. This is a place that feeds the soul.”

The interview also includes a photo gallery featuring the interior and exterior of the home.

CSI Files previously reported that Hill Harper (CSI: New York‘s Dr Sheldon Hawkes) would star in the upcoming SyFy original movie Stonehenge Apocalypse. The network has now released new information about the film:

The ancient sandstone pillars of Stonehenge suddenly come to life, shifting along the earth’s power grid and creating devastating natural disasters around the world. Is Stonehenge really an alien terraforming machine, originally used to create a fertile, life-sustaining planet? And is its accidental re-activation going to destroy the earth? It is up to brilliant and eccentric radio show host Misha Collins (Supernatural) to prevent this by stopping a crazed cult leader (Harper), eager for Armageddon.

Stonehenge Apocalypse premieres Saturday, June 12, at 9:00pm (ET/PT) on the SyFy network.
