5 Unconventional NYC Homes: Sculptural Staircases, Abstract Glass Tiles & Disco Balls | Open House

Get ready to explore five stunning New York City homes with our host Sara Gore!

First, join us in midtown Manhattan with interior designer Rodney Lawrence as he adds an interplay of interesting textures, colors, and materials to transform all 4000 sq ft of this alluring 29th floor Park Avenue loft into a one-of-a-kind living space. Next up, we venture to West Chelsea, where interior designer Harry Heissmann introduces us to his unique take on a project that not only preserves numerous industrial features (such as exposed brick), but also reinvents many common aspects of a home (including placing a bed and disco ball fixture in the living room) and highlights his client’s personality with its humor-meets-drama tone. Soon after, interior designer Libby Langdon takes us through a glass-box pied-à-terre, located in Nomad, that was redesigned to reflect the smart, chic, and dynamic nature of New York City, as well as to maximize style and ease of movement in a small space. (Oh, and be sure to take in that gorgeous view of the Chrysler Building!) We’ll follow this up with a trip to an art-filled, ultra-modern townhouse that was built in the 1880s and is located in St. Luke’s Place in the West Village. Architect Greg Sharp takes us through every single detail of this magnificent beauty, including the spacious kitchen with two islands, the dramatic height windows at the rear of the home that fill it with natural light; the sculptural grand staircase, which creates a visual experience and serves as the main unifying element of the house; as well as the restoration of original details (such as the classic facade) that add layers to its wonder. Finally, we head over to Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn where architect and interior designer Hormuz Batliboi takes us on a tour of his gut renovation of an over 100-year-old abandoned Brooklyn brownstone. This project gave Hormuz the opportunity to not only create a beautiful home for his family but also implement his distinct design language and modern sensibility, as well as inspire a fascinating dialogue between contemporary and historic.
