HOME TOURS: Stunning Renovations in New York City, Los Angeles & Palm Springs | Open House TV

HOME TOURS: Stunning Renovations in New York City, Los Angeles & Palm Springs | Open House TV

In this week’s all-new episode of Open House, our wonderful host Sara Gore invites viewers into 5 breathtaking homes full of unique details and stylish design that are located in New York City, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs.

First up: Calli Sarkesh shows us around an exceptional residence located at 122 West 73rd St in New York City. Originally built in 1900 and recently renovated by Murdock Solon Architects, this Upper West Side single-family townhouse spans over 6,600 sq ft and boasts 6 levels, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and — plot twist — THREE powder rooms. From the parlor floor — which serves as the centerpiece of the home and houses a beautiful kitchen, formal dining room with soaring ceilings, and dining room with a fireplace that’s ideal for intimate gatherings —to the primary suite with a sumptuous marble bathroom and 20ft long walk-in closet, a sun deck on the very top floor, and the private sanctuary that is an outdoor bamboo garden, this brownstone teems with elegance and meticulous details.

Next, we zip over to the West Coast to take a look around interior designer Melissa Warner’s latest project: a maximalist home in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles that pays homage to her client’s love of tailored fashion and bespoke luxury, while serving as a masterclass on how to incorporate bold statement pieces to add interesting dimension to a space without having them compete with each other. From the tiger wallpaper in the dark-and-moody foyer that packs an unforgettable wow factor upon entering the house, to the dining room that takes her client’s fondness for beautiful menswear into account with plaid on the rug, bouclair on the chairs, and pleated dressmaker details on the drapery, Warner’s personalized touches show how even in a large space, it’s often the meticulous little details that make a big impression.

After that, we venture over to sunny Palm Springs, California to visit with interior designer Christopher Kennedy as he invites us into his forever home. Built in 1978 and spanning 3200 square feet, this gorgeous home honors the ‘70s aesthetic through neutral tones and interesting touches reminiscent of that era, including: a sumptuous shag rug, a brutalist-style chandelier, curved sofas covered in a beautiful white boucle fabric, textured throw pillows, and more. From the expansive great room with views of the golf course and San Jacinto Mountains right outside to the welcoming kitchen with its sand-colored oak cabinetry that references a desert landscape with a sand mirror tiles with an antique finish that help bounce light around, this home is full of nostalgic statement pieces that pay homage to the original architecture while also serving as a relaxing retreat that’s perfect for entertaining.

We then return to New York City to join architect B. Alex Miller for a tour of the white box Battery Park City apartment that he and his team transformed into a welcoming residence that offers comfort, functionality, and plenty of custom architectural detail. From the marble insertion that greets you at the door to the primary quarter of the apartment that features staggered millwork panels that expand as you move forward and provides visual interest along with storage — and to the main living space that contains the seating area that features a combination of cool & warm tones through the furnishings, anchor rug, and wooden lamps that exudes a warm light in the evening; dining space with a giant airplane-esque pendant hovering above the table that helps give it a sense of place; and a blue Mediterranean marble kitchen that captures the tones of the Hudson River — this home offers a warm, minimal, and inviting respite to the busy city outside.

We finish this week’s Open House episode with a trip to an impressive art-filled Greenwich Village penthouse that was reimagined by Irish-born interior designer Clodagh. She stresses the importance of using holistic design to foster a sense of wellbeing, which becomes evident throughout this glorious duplex loft — especially with the magnificent art collection on display and a transformative environment that is as modern as it is serene.

Sergio Mercado, an interior designer based in New York City, invites us into one of his recently completed projects: a beautiful townhouse located on a rare gated cobblestone street at Sutton Place with a private park and unobstructed river views.

All these subtle details create a fluid, comfortable aesthetic that make a significant impact.

We then venture over to Los Angeles, California to join architect and designer Amanda Gunawan for a look around her thoughtfully crafted residence located in what was formerly the Nabisco factory. This bright and luxurious loft features an open-floor plan, colors and materials (including light wood and paper lanterns) that unify the space and evoke a sense of tranquility. Other points of interest include: large windows that allow for ample natural light to flow through, a collection of teas and ceramics from her travels; a neutral-colored kitchen with a huge counter to prep sushi (her favorite meal); a relaxing guest bedroom; a double-height living room that serves as the heart of the home; and a primary bedroom that was converted into a soft, tranquil sanctuary within the the industrial ruggedness of the building. Overall, the design is as harmonious as it is intentional.

To top of this episode, we travel to 18th street in Ditmas Park —a landmark district in Brooklyn — to explore a home that was a true labor of love for design enthusiasts Ken Alpert and Maytal Olsha. They completely reimagined their 1908 Victorian-style home into a bright modern retreat, which includes restoring the front porch to its original grandeur and renovating it from a 9-bedroom home into an open space — and renovating the space within as an ode to all that inspires them as artists and creators, including a principle oasis with vaulted ceilings that will make your jaw drop, brick chimney that forms an intimate wall between a Danish bookshelf and powder room; and kitchen that features unique Dutch cooking top burners (the first house in the US to do so).

An Upper West Side Apartment that Celebrates a Love of Color & Literature | Open House TV

An Upper West Side Apartment that Celebrates a Love of Color & Literature  | Open House TV

Architect Valerie Schweitzer invites us into her apartment located on the Upper West Side that centers on three design principles: daylighting, contrast, and sensuality. This updated pre-war residence celebrates her love of literature, multi-layered textiles, and pops of color as is showcased in the art that adorns each room. Additionally, this lovely home features a mix of furniture that ranges from contemporary streamlined pieces to mid-century modern to antiques that she and her mother would search for in the Cotswolds of England. From the ebony white-veined marble and metal iron works that exude a historical 16th century Italian vibe to the intimate dining room with its rich cobalt palette that envelops you in a medley of colors, and industrial white oak table that juxtaposes the soft organic pale green curtains — and from the functional office with its floating bamboo shelves & resilient cork floors to the Jane Eyre-themed kitchen with its glass cabinets and checkered black-and-white marble floor — this Riverside Drive live/work residence is a playful symphony of personal design, fun twists, and unique touches meant to inspire conversation and intrigue.
