This Eclectic Brooklyn Apartment is a Tim Burton Christmas Come to Life  | Open House TV

Want to see how architect Paul Reber brings a festive spirit to his studio apartment, located inside an old converted schoolhouse in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn? ✨🎄

Each year Paul decorates for the holidays in a unique way that embraces the eclectic style of his home, including sprucing the place up with burgundy accents and mercury glass (to match his light pendants), and turning the garland on his spiral staircase into a next-level Christmas tree with its mermen ornaments and little flashing dragonflies. (And if you hear chirping in the background, those are the cage-free zebra finches that he affectionally refers to as his “chickens”. 💛)

Full Show: Unique Homes Full of Creative Touches | Open House TV

Ready to explore more beautiful houses in New York, Los Angeles, and Connecticut? Open House host Sara Gore offers viewers a peek into several distinct properties that calm and inspire!

Kicking things off is Ippolita Rostagno, a jewelry designer and founder of Artemest known for her bold designs, takes #OpenHouseTV inside her live-work townhouse this weekend on @NBC. Tune in to explore this stunning Park Slope home and studio, which features an original structure that has been modernized and is juxtaposed with decorative art and furnishings. ✨ Prepare to be inspired by her maximalist aesthetic, which she describes as “simplicity meets Baroque details,” as well as joyful touches (such as the dining area in her serene garden and the commissioned Florentine mirror in her bedroom) that pay homage to her Italian culture.

Next, Chaz Dean, an in-demand celebrity hairstylist and founder of WEN hair and skin products, embraces all three when it comes to creating a zen-like calm in his Los Feliz home. From the warm and relaxing atmosphere in the inner sanctuary that is the primary suite (complete with cork wallpaper!) to an entertaining area that features three interconnected paintings that depict meaningful moments from his life, to the spacious garden blooming right outside in his backyard, this stunning residence is full of comfortable, welcoming and tranquil touches.

After that, art and design converge with functionality in an innovative space in Brooklyn. Join architect and artist Umberto Bellardi Ricci for a tour of his minimalist studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard — which showcases prototypes, pieces at every stage of their design, and folded metalwork that plays with light — where he creates unique sculptural works of art against the magnificent skyline of Manhattan. We then follow him over to Clinton Hill, Brooklyn to visit his family home, which features industrial, mass-produced pieces that are juxtaposed with warm and personal textures and materials. The main inspiration? “I want to make sure that the pieces are beautiful to look at, but also comfortable to live with.”

“What architecture has the ability to do, is combine traditional materials with new technologies that let us see things in a different way.” Architect Eric Liftin (and his adorable pup Luna) leads us on a tour of his personal home that does exactly that. When Eric first found this place, it was completely raw but the continual views of the water captured his attention since they expand the space and help it feel larger. From the sofa in the living room that’s situated in front of the fireplace and brings everyone together to the repurposed lights made out of lights to the carpet from Istanbul that adorns the all-purpose dining room upstairs that’s made out of recycled materials, the interior design in the home is welcoming and uncluttered, but full of interesting touches and textures that draw you in. “It is never a blank minimalism that is alienating,” Eric explains in the episode.

We conclude this installment with a visit to Southern Connecticut to visit one of architect Eric J. Smith’s projects. Eric was hired to design a writer’s studio on his client’s bucolic Greenwich property— a place in which the muse is always welcome — that was purpose built for the pursuit of poetry. And inspired by the surrounding natural environment and notion that every home tells a story, Eric set out to create a woodland haven that captures his client’s boyhood fascination with Thoreau’s cabin and reinterprets his creative writing process by embracing solitude, solace, and the pursuit of art.

A Modern Take on a Classic A-Frame Home in Lake Tahoe | Open House TV

A Modern Take on a Classic A-Frame Home in Lake Tahoe | Open House TV

Drop by Lake Tahoe for a look at a modern take on a classic home with an A-frame silhouette that was conceived by architect Todd Maher. We learn more about what inspired the imagining of this traditional mountain ski-cabin — aptly named Phoenix Rising after it was built from the literal ashes of a quintessential lake cottage — and how he morphed this symmetrical building into a warm and inviting abode full of geometric surprises and functional upgrades — including, but not limited to: a wood-burning fireplace in the great room, along with decorative beams and a circular multi-layered chandelier that binds the space together; a kitchen that embraces natural light and the beautiful views outside through bar seating under the cabinet window; a curved staircase for a touch of whimsey; and an intricate roofing pattern that is applied indoors as well.

A Glamorous Duplex Apartment at the Iconic Plaza Hotel | Open House TV

Take a tour of a glamorous corner duplex inside the private residences at the iconic Plaza Hotel. This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom beauty spans well over 3500 sq ft with original historical details mixing seamlessly with eye-catching modern decor, designed by professional stager Jason Saft. From the massive great room that Saft segmented into four distinct zones — including an area for relaxation and take in views of Central Park and a entertaining space with a custom bar that’s anchored with a circular rug, round coffee tables, and four mirrors to make it feel less boxy and reflect light — to a dining room that underwent a dramatic transformation into a jewel box room that features elements from different eras, florals, and traditional touches, to a whimsical room that references the beloved children’s book character Eloise on the dresser, this home exudes a certain boldness that sets it apart with a comfortable softness that makes it ideal for everyday living.
