A Stylish Yet Functional Pied-à-Terre on the Upper East Side | Open House TV

Sarah Abdallah, founder and CEO of Functional Creative Design, invites us for a look around her latest impressive project: a refurbished pied-à-terre on the Upper East Side that she designed for a client seeking a luxurious retreat to escape to. (The home is situated inside a 120-year-old landmark limestone building by Carrère & Hastings—the architectural firm best known for The Frick Collection and The NY Public Library buildings.) Tasked with creating a space that felt like “the dreamiest suite at a boutique hotel,” Abdallah focused on durable materials and soft textures, including: a serene gray wall covering from Phillip Jeffries’ commercial line that mimics silk, unique furnishings from DDC, along with a pair of Hans Wegner Elbow chairs adorning a Saarinen Tulip table; and handcrafted Liaigre pieces: Grume bench, Longitude desk and Chantecaille table lamp, plus an Aspre lounge chair and a Cravache armchair covered in Holly Hunt linen and leather. All these touches allow for easy entertaining and inspire a sense of tranquility, ambiance, and balance.

An Innovative NoHo Triplex with a 27-ft Tall Atrium | Open House TV

An Innovative NoHo Triplex with a 27-ft Tall Atrium | Open House TV

Join Open House in downtown NYC for a full tour of Zoe Vidali and Peter Vits’ NoHo home!

When the architect and designer and her entrepreneur husband first bought this place, it was a typical 1980s artist loft, but they saw great potential in its massive volume. They completely gut renovated the space to take advantage of its full height and reimagined it into a tri-level loft that feels like a townhouse, with ample room to live in. From removing the original facade and replacing it with a 3-story cast-iron window to allow for more natural light to eliminating most of the floor plates to create more spaces, including an entertaining area on the basement level that is topped off with a bar and sauna, their upgrades have allowed each floor to effortlessly blend into one another. When you have an indoor garden and a window inside of your house that allows you to look out to the rest of your loft, you just know you are dealing with a very special home!

Full Show: 5 Modern Homes with Unique Architecture & Style | Open House TV

Full Show: 5 Modern Homes with Unique Architecture & Style | Open House TV

Ready to step inside five modern marvels that feature unique architecture with style to spare? Open House host Sara Gore takes on a tour of more beautiful homes this week!

First, we meet up with architect Gregory Sharp at 153 East 30th Street to check out a renovated townhouse! Tasked with converting a multi-family home into a single-family townhouse, Sharp embraced the challenge and reimagined all 5500 square feet into a 5-bedroom, 5-bath modern abode in Kips Bay. From a formal parlor room upon entry to the seamless flow between the kitchen, living room, and backyard, this home emphasizes an open dialogue between the interior and exterior spaces.

After, we journey to downtown NYC to take a tour of Zoe Vidali and Peter Vits’ NoHo home! When the architect and designer and her entrepreneur husband first bought this place, it was a typical 1980s artist loft, but they saw great potential in its massive volume. They completely gut renovated the space to take advantage of its full height and reimagined it into a tri-level home with ample room to live in. From removing the original facade and replacing it with a 3-story cast-iron window to allow for more natural light to eliminating most of the floor plates to create more spaces, including an entertaining area on the basement level that is topped off with a bar and sauna, their upgrades have allowed each floor to effortlessly blend into one another. When you have an indoor garden and a window inside of your house that allows you to look out to the rest of your loft, you just know you are dealing with a very special home!

Next, we fly down to New Orleans to join architect Nathan Fell for a tour of his one-of-a-kind Mid-City home! Fell and his family love city living but also enjoying spending time outdoors, so through a design aesthetic that emphasizes transparency, he was able to configure an indoor and outdoor dialogue that enables interaction and maximizes the building’s verticality. Different types of natural materials are what makes this home unique, including 12-ft high sliding glass doors that surround the place, exposed concrete walls, walnut-clad cabinetry, black granite on the kitchen island that serves as a reflective surface, and a variety of wood to create a cooling effect throughout the home. The living room kitchen, and dining room are also all seamlessly connected and to bring life to the dark and rustic color schemes in each room, Fell found playful ways to add bold pops of colors to brighten up the space and counterbalance the otherwise more static materials. Additionally, the outdoor area is a must-see: the pool expands the entire living area and there is a roof deck with views of downtown Nola that’s perfect for entertaining guests.

After this segment, we journey to 1291 Will Geer Road in Topanga, California to join estate agent and content creator Aaron Grushow for a tour of Trust Ranch (which stands for The Ranch Upon Sacred Territory). From its expansive great room with soaring wooden ceilings and panoramic views of the Santa Monica mountains to the rustic, airy kitchen with an oversized center island, custom tiles and cabinetry, and overall earthy elements that include barn doors that lead right into a multi-purpose, multi-functional project room, this magnificent 6-bedroom 17-acre estate is a true sanctuary that is perfect for enjoying quiet moments of leisure but also entertaining large groups of friends and family. If you’re aching for some natural light, fresh air, and outdoor bliss, this house and its gorgeous grounds — complete with horse stables, a private vinyard, an 1800 sq/ft open-floor plan, guest house with canyon views and patio, and an outdoor pavilion that supports the solar panels and has been used for aerial silk classes, this luxurious yet calming haven will do the trick!

We top off the episode with a tour of a charming Brooklyn home designed by NYC-based interior designer Eneia White. Featuring original details (so as to now disrupt some of the classic highlights of the home), modern silhouettes, creamy colors, and huge bay windows, this space exudes loads of casual elegance while also striking a balance between contemporary and cozy living. Overall, it feels like a warm hug at the end of a long day and showcases how whimsical details can make an otherwise traditional space really shine and flourish!

A Light-Filled Nolita Loft Designed by Vicente Wolf | Open House TV

A Light-Filled Nolita Loft Designed by Vicente Wolf | Open House TV

Join interior designer Vicente Wolf for a special tour of one of his latest projects: a welcoming space in Nolita that embodies an aura of warmth and softness. Wolf enjoys environments that provide a progress of discovery; and from the long hallway at the front that leads into a cohesive open-floor setting, this downtown home captures this design philosophy to a t. Not only is the dining area — which features two tables on wheels that separate for large parties — stunning and efficient, but the adjoining sections of this large space (including a living room that showcases a mixture of midcentury pieces, irregular shapes, custom designs, and curved couch that allows for guests to see each other while sitting) are just as remarkable. This loft also boasts a dream library, cocoon-like media room where unwinding in peace and isolation is the focal point, an impressive bathroom with recessed lights and lacquered ceilings that add a sense of drama and reflection, and a primary bedroom that is both classy and flirtatious with its strip lighting and electrical blinds that allow its residents to have ultimate control of how much natural light pours into their bedroom. Overall, this spacious, well-lit, and oh-so detailed home provides a modern aesthetic with a vintage touch!

A Tour of Architect Marc Balet's 3-Story Loft & Creative Studio in NoHo  | Open House TV

Venture over to NoHo to visit the live/work loft of artist, art director, and award-winning architect Marc Balet. According to Balet, “good design” is all about simplicity and being authentic, and his 3,000 sq. ft. triplex residence & studio certainly embody this philosophy. From the long corridor near the entrance that houses pictures gifted by famous photographers (such as his former boss Andy Warhol), as well as personal ones of himself with close friend Paul Reubens — aka PeeWee Herman — and Carol Channing, to his own original creations, this downtown home — which used to be the site of many legendary parties — displays a passion for art, drama, and personal expression. With its 20-ft ceilings, large windows adorned with movie curtains, custom furniture designed by Balet himself (including a magnificent dining table that sits right below a show-stopping Sputnik light), three lava lamps gifted by Reubens, a well-lit top floor that exhibits serenity and relaxation with its backyard (that features a hot outdoor shower) and terrace that overlooks Broadway and Houston St, a Malibu beach house-inspired bedroom, and enviable book collection that would make the most voracious reader’s heart flutter with glee at the mere sight of it, this NYC apartment has been a source of great conversations and joy, and teems with unique treasures, unbeatable memories, and one-of-a-kind touches.

Full Episode: Renovated Classic Homes & Ultra-Modern Showstoppers | Open House TV

Full Episode: Renovated Classic Homes & Ultra-Modern Showstoppers | Open House TV

Sara Gore is back with another episode of Open House filled with stunning homes in New York City, Los Angeles, and Denver!

We kick things off with Brian Lewis at 123 West 132nd Street for a tour of a newly renovated historic brownstone located in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood. Built in 1910, this 5-bedroom home, situated in the vibrant area of Lenox Terrance, has since been re-envisioned in ways that have implemented modern conveniences to make it livable in the 21st century while also preserving its original details, stunning craftsmanship, and classic DNA — including keeping the antique front door to moving the kitchen (with its room marble countertops, dining bar, top-end fixtures trophy appliances, and gorgeous walnut cabinets) to the middle of the space to make the most of the natural light that streams in from the open-plan dining area. From the herringbone wood plank floors to the soaring tall ceilings to the new copper plumbing, and from the jaw-dropping, well-scaled primary suite (complete with a massive pass-through closet, decorative fireplace, dual-sinked bathroom, and treetop views) to the multiple guest rooms to the serene private garden right outside, this townhouse embodies beauty and seamlessly dovetails the past with the present.

Next, we fly over to the Mile High City, where Kenzie Robertson takes us on a tour of a home at 400 Saint Paul Street in Denver, Colorado, located within the highly desired Cherry Creek North neighborhood. Previously known as Harmon Town Hall, this 4-story house was constructed in 1891 and has since been converted into a mayor’s office, courthouse, and, ultimately, a show-stopping private residence filled with intricate details and modern upgrades. From the gorgeous entryway filled with natural light to the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the 13,656 sq. ft. property that peer into a serene courtyard — and from the spacious primary suite complete with a sitting room office, luxurious bathroom, and adjoining terrace to the classic library designed as an homage to the Gilded Age with its reclaimed wood beams and vintages maps plastered on the ceiling (not to mention the home theater, full gym and custom landscaped rooftop terrace on the top floor, and sleek speakeasy carved into the underground garage) — this 4-bedroom, 8-bathroom red-bricked residence is truly a one-of-a-kind historical landmark with thoughtful renovations and upscale entertaining amenities.

After that, we head over to downtown NYC to join Jennifer Kalish for a tour of a stylish and comfortable Tribeca loft perched on a historic cobblestone street. This full-floor, south-facing apartment — reimagined by designer Shawn Henderson — has 4 bedrooms and close to 3,000 sq. ft. of boutique living. From the private entryway that you step into right off the elevator to a grand entertaining space with a clean-burning fireplace with a steel facade and a wall of Channel Vision glass windows that fill the room with natural light and offer beautiful views of the architecture outside of 15 Leonard Street Apt. 6, and from the chef’s kitchen complete with custom Italian matte white lacquer mixed with stained oak wood cabinetry (as well as top-end appliances) to the adjoining dining room that is ideal for intimate dinner gatherings, no detail has been spared in this meticulously designed home.

Care for a look around a home located at 1033 Somera Road in the prestigious Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles? Join the property’s developer, Ramtin Ray Nosrati, for a look around a decadent space surrounded by nature — which includes a lush living wall of fauna that adorns the private driveway, as well as a massive artwork of moss (that has been stained with organic fruit dye) that greets visitors in the foyer. Other highlights include: glass walls and automated floor-to-ceiling glass doors; a wraparound balcony with an L-shape fire pit and views of of the Pacific Ocean; a sprawling primary bath that features custom imported stone; an open-floor living room comprised of wide oak wood, a sleek fireplace clad in travertine, an exquisite wine cellar, and hand-carved stone bar; a dining room that peers into the spacious backyard; a state-of-the-art kitchen that serves as the heart of the home; an infinity-edge pool with a hot tub; and a nearly 3,200-square-foot roof deck equipped with an outdoor kitchen, 16-ft fireplace, entertainment viewing area, and 4-hole putting green. With its panoramic views of the city and ocean and 13,929 square feet of interior space, this 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom ultra-contemporary residence is filled with upscale amenities, imaginative architecture, and intricate design details.
