A Midtown Penthouse that Captures the Excitement & Glamour of NYC | Open House TV

Step inside 111 West 57th St: a bespoke 3873 sq. ft. penthouse in midtown Manhattan that was designed by interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas, that captures the glamour and excitement of New York City. From the impressive foyer with its eye-catching pieces that set the stage for the dynamism of the space to the dining room featuring a frosted table held up by plasters of rock formations as a base, and from the primary bedroom with its abstracted pastoral vibe, low-profile bed to maximize the wall space, and stainless steel platform for added edge to the Great Room with its magnificent views of Central Park, transparent coffee table decorated with books and solid ceramic vases, and muted sofa with pops of lime green color that capture the natural scenery outside, this 3-bedroom residence is filled with a blend of elegant yet unexpected touches. As Cárdenas himself best puts it: “This apartment is my 1988 fantasy with its acid green and orange color palette and this view that I’m been waiting for — and it’s all hurled into the future.”

Full Show: Astounding Abodes Filled with Innovative Style | Open House TV

Join Open House host Sara Gore for a look inside five impeccable homes in New York and California that are filled with style, comfort, and innovative details.

First up: a stop at 111 West 57th St to tour a bespoke 3873 sq. ft. penthouse in midtown Manhattan, designed by interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas, that captures the glamour and excitement of New York City. From the impressive foyer with its eye-catching pieces that set the stage for the dynamism of the space to the dining room featuring a frosted table held up by plasters of rock formations as a base, and from the primary bedroom with its abstracted pastoral vibe, low-profile bed to maximize the wall space, and stainless steel platform for added edge to the Great Room with its magnificent views of Central Park, transparent coffee table decorated with books and solid ceramic vases, and muted sofa with pops of lime green color that capture the natural scenery outside, this 3-bedroom residence is filled with a blend of elegant yet unexpected touches. As Cárdenas himself best puts it: “This apartment is my 1988 fantasy with its acid green and orange color palette and this view that I’m been waiting for — and it’s all hurled into the future.”

Care for a visit to sunny Beverly Hills, California for a tour of 2650 Benedict Canyon Drive led by real estate agent Matt Altman? This luxurious 16,390 sq. ft. architectural compound has it all: Expansive living area flooded with natural light? ✔️ Open-floor concept that seamlessly blends indoor/outdoor elements? ✔️ Floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the surrounding mountains? ✔️ This 7 bedroom, 11-bath estate truly combines unparalleled contemporary design with state-of-the art interiors and cinematic style.

After that, we return to the East Coast for a visit to the renowned Tribeca penthouse of lighting and furniture designer Lee Broom. A fitting celebration of his innovative style and elegant aesthetic (a modernist take on classic decor), this duplex residence, which occupies the fifth and sixth floors of a historic cast iron building in downtown NYC and serves as the designer’s residence and appointment-only showroom, features an abundance of natural light, flow, and unique creations inspired by the architecture of the 3,000 sq. ft. space as well as New York City itself.

We then fly back to the West Coast to join interior designer Tamarra Younis (founder of Union of Art) at one of her recent projects: a mid-century home nestled in the hills of Studio City — that she transformed for Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel and his family — that is as delightfully comfortable as it is creative with its custom-made furniture, bold pops of color, and collection of personal and vintage decor pieces.

Finally, we find ourselves in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn for a visit with architect Simon Arnolds. Arnolds was tasked with renovating a top-floor duplex in a former Romanesque mansion. He opened up the space to give it warmth and reflect modern sensibilities (namely, by removing the dividing walls, exposing the ceiling structure, and staining the exposed wood with black pigment and the steel a very dark gray), and in the process, uncovered plenty of of the original architectural details that he seamlessly integrated into contemporary design.

Inside 5 Ultra Chic Homes with One-of-a-Kind Details | Open House TV

Inside 5 Ultra Chic Homes with One-of-a-Kind Details | Open House TV

Welcome to another edition of Open House! In this episode, our lovely host Sara Gore guides us through several tours of gorgeous homes in New York City and Los Angeles that are full of style, natural light, and one-of-a-kind details.

First up, we drop by the West Village to visit 652 Hudson Street, 5S/6S New York, NY for a tour, led by Julianne Bond, of a reimagined 6,151 sq. ft. triplex penthouse that features 3 beds/3baths/2 half baths — along with 31 large windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and its own roof deck with views of downtown NYC — and is currently listed on the market for a cool $14,950,000.

After that, we fly over to the West Coast to visit the impressive private residence of Scottish-born, LA-residing television presenter Ross King that offers direct views of the iconic Hollywood sign, and features personal details and “bits of home” throughout, including: a studio for his televised segments and voiceover work, a cozy cuddle chair section inspired by a James Bond movie along with a Jackie Collins sofa, memorabilia and photos of people he’s interviewed and met throughout his career, and thistle (an emblem of Scotland) upon entry.

Next, we venture over to Santa Monica, California to 175 W Channel Road, for a tour of owner, designer, and entrepreneur LeeAnn Sauter’s home. This Mediterranean-style estate boasts 3,664 square feet, 5 beds, and 3.5 baths, and is full of charm and personalized details throughout its chic interiors, reflecting a life of travel and adventure. Oh, and fun fact? It was originally built in 1925 for Hollywood legend Mae West. The home’s unique history and authentic flow is best captured in “The Great Gatsby” room, which embodies the glamorous essence of the Jazz Age. In this room, Sauter kept everything original from the beautiful window to the wood floors to the hand-painted wallpaper to the chandelier with the chains draping over a lucite table.

We then return to New York City to meet up with Sarah Abdallah, founder and CEO of Functional Creative Design for a look around her latest impressive project: a pied-à-terre on the Upper East Side that she designed for a client seeking a luxurious retreat to escape to. Tasked with creating a space that felt like “the dreamiest suite at a boutique hotel,” Abdallah focused on materials and soft textures that allow for easy entertaining and inspire a sense of tranquility and balance.

To round off this installment, we explore the vibrant Hell’s Kitchen townhouse of interior designer Karim Rashid. Rashid is as well known for his luminous style as he is for the impassioned belief that dynamic design can make you happier – and in turn make the world a better place — and his home, with its rounded, amorphous artwork, fluid patterns, and colorful dimensions, is a direct reflection of his personal philosophy.
