00:01Hi A.D. We are David and Isabella Grutman. Welcome to our home in Miami Beach. Come with us. Come
00:07on.
00:18So I'm obsessed with landscaping architecture and my wife is Brazilian so of course she wanted...
00:23Raymond Jungles, the best of the best. I mean he's the number one landscaping architect in the world.
00:28It's Miami so of course the weather is a little tropical today but it's Miami and this is what makes
00:33it so special.
00:34So the first thing that I want is like to build this tropical island that's jungly.
00:38I have bananas here that I'm very proud about. Yeah very proud of the bananas.
00:42I just want it to feel like closer to nature. One thing that's really important to us is our fish.
00:48Fun fact about Dave is that he comes and he sits and feeds the fish every single morning.
00:53I never thought I would see this from him. I love these fish. They're my friends.
00:57For me it's always been a dream to have a koi fish pond and to have water at the front
01:02door is a feng shui thing for wealth.
01:04So this art piece is by Prune. She's a friend of ours from France and it's called Tree of Life.
01:10It just comes all together, all the landscaping with this art piece which is perfect.
01:15One thing that's really special about our garden is we have a bunch of Ai Weiwei raindrops throughout and...
01:21My bananas. Very special items too.
01:24It makes me feel like I'm back at home because my dad used to have bananas on his backyard.
01:28So actually I text my dad all the time and I'm like when are they going to be ready?
01:32I didn't know the process was so long but it's going to be worth it. I'm very happy about it.
01:37Now let's get out of the rain because I have to dry up myself. Let's go.
01:45Everybody thinks because I'm in the hospitality and nightlife business that they're going to come to my home and there's
01:50going to be a disco ball hanging and moving lights and loud music and everywhere.
01:54But this is where I come to relax and be with my family and decompress and the whole thing.
02:00It's grounding too. When we get home, when we get out of the craziness, we are grounded.
02:05And God knows I need grounding.
02:08With a big house like this, we love to have like a casual dinners but I wanted something grand too.
02:14And that first item that I looked at and I loved was Chandelier by Stuart Haygarth and I was so
02:22in love with it.
02:23And it took me a year to convince you.
02:25I mean, there was some back and forth for sure. I think what's so interesting about it is it's espresso
02:30cups and dessert bowls and...
02:32That's what I love too, to like go to a vintage market in Paris and get little cups and things
02:37like that.
02:38So when I saw this, it was like, it's so me and it's so gorgeous.
02:44We're now sitting on one of the coolest pieces of furniture we have by Costas Lambrides.
02:50It's a collage of many different materials and stuff like that.
02:53But all cat kitty, I don't allow her to sit on the chair and she sits and stares at me
02:58like you're not taking me out of it.
03:00Yeah, you guys have like a full war going on at all times.
03:03It's a full thing, but we love her anyway. She's so cute.
03:05Do you want to talk about your obsession with first dibs?
03:08Dave buys so many bowls around the house.
03:11So they're like little glass candy dishes and stuff like that. And I'll show you some examples throughout the house.
03:16I think it's going to be something big and amazing. And it's, it's this big.
03:20Cause I don't know, understand centimeters to whatever, but it always comes the wrong way.
03:25Like a kid during Christmas waiting for that package. And when it gets, it could be like this small.
03:36This is our show kitchen. It was really important to us to have a kitchen that we actually have the
03:42cooking that goes on behind.
03:44It's for me to look pretty. It's for me to look pretty right here.
03:47Pretend I cook. I don't cook that much. So this is all I need. It's nothing.
03:51We wanted to do something different for the backdrop. We didn't want to just have again, you know, subway tiles
03:57or this or that.
03:58We wanted to do something special and different for Miami.
04:01You guys remember the first dibs obsession. So this is one little example that he thought it was something huge.
04:08I thought this was going to be a massive thing on our countertop.
04:13But again, it just fits in the palm of my hand.
04:17This is my favorite is the Haas Brothers salt and pepper shakers. These little animals. Aren't they the coolest?
04:24They're so cute.
04:25I mean, I love these guys.
04:26I love them too. And all those things, we actually use them. So the glasses. I have my favorite olive
04:32oil here.
04:33A lot of it is just for the show kitchen. I just want to be clear with you.
04:36I mean, I have my honey here. I have my salt and pepper. I have all this stuff.
04:42The show kitchen. Of course, same situation. I have zero input on what goes back there.
04:50But you still try. You still touch.
04:52I try. I try to sneak stuff in here and there. And the next day I come back and it's
04:56gone.
04:56I catch it. Otherwise it will be just balls and knickknacks. It wouldn't be curated. I like things to be
05:01curated and organized.
05:08So this is our TV room and I picked this Edra couch from DDC and I wanted to have it
05:15super comfortable.
05:16But we have full wars about this couch because let me tell you, the couch bends, right?
05:20So it could go up or go down and either I want it bent and she wants it up.
05:25But it's nice because when you're laying down, you can just put your arm like this. It makes it comfortable.
05:30But I have to tell you, it's the coolest couch. It's a great couch.
05:33I don't know about you guys, but my wife and I are obsessed with Benihana.
05:37So what we wanted to do is to have Benihana in the house, but we still wanted to be chic.
05:43So we built this amazing... Travertine Island. It's travertine all the way around and it's sculpted.
05:50Another thing that's very special about this room is the indoor grill.
05:54We're in the hospitality business, so we want to feed you right away.
05:57This kitchen being so close to the TV room that people could watch the games, you know, could come and
06:02just hang out and relax.
06:04And to have it so close to each other and also be close to the pool, for us it made
06:10a lot of sense.
06:11Cesar Molina, our architect, designed it in a way that every room has a view of this amazing bay.
06:17And I love the fact that no matter where you're at, you could see the water and not just the
06:21swimming pool, but the actual bay.
06:29I wanted to design with the designer a room for the kids that it has a lot of space for
06:35them to use their own imagination and play.
06:37So it was very important to have this main area empty, but also like little chairs for them to chill,
06:43read a book and things like that.
06:45And we also wanted to create something super fun for up there.
06:49The girls had a lot of input on designing the space. They actually curated and customized all the cubbies.
06:55And I think it's really special the girls have their own space while we're doing stuff to have their own
07:00time.
07:07What's so special about the bed is, you know, we saw that Lenny Kravitz did a photo shoot on a
07:13bed just like this.
07:14So we asked Lenny Kravitz, can you please help us find this bed?
07:17Lenny, besides being a musician, is also a designer.
07:20So we reupholstered it in the suede leather.
07:22The room is so wide, we didn't want to have multiple TVs.
07:26So what we did is very James Bond.
07:28We put a railing and the TV comes to you.
07:31It's like magic.
07:32It's pretty cool, no?
07:40So we are in our balcony outside our bedroom.
07:43We love to sit here and have coffee.
07:46But as well, like here is where I come to meditate.
07:48Sometimes we get dolphins and manatees here as well.
07:51And they're crazy.
07:52I'm obsessed with manatees and there's so many that come around.
07:55The dolphins go crazy.
07:56And what I really love is on top of our gazebo, we have a wildflower garden.
08:01Most people put AstroTurf or whatever.
08:03Here we have a wildflower garden and I love it.
08:14So now we are in our primary bathroom.
08:17And my main inspiration was actually a Celine store that had this beautiful green onyx.
08:23And Arca actually found it.
08:25And I was so happy when I saw it because it didn't have so many veins.
08:29It was more like a saddle green.
08:32And we put the green all over.
08:34And then here we are sitting actually on a vintage Sergio Rodriguez bench.
08:38It's a Brazilian designer.
08:40Of course.
08:40Of course.
08:41And that's a Brazilian little chair over there as well.
08:44And I think what's great is we have two separate toilets.
08:47And we have two separate showers, but you never used your shower, which I don't understand.
08:52You're always going on my side. Why?
08:54Well, because you always have the fun product on your side.
08:56So maybe I should move it all to the other side and see if you'll go against it.
09:08Now we're in the gazebo, which is really part of our backyard.
09:11Where everyone starts their day and ends their day is right here.
09:14It's where we like have a little glass of wine with our friends.
09:18We will do like cocktails before dinner.
09:20This is like also where you take naps.
09:23You take a lot of naps here.
09:24This is the best place in the world to take a nap.
09:26I'm not going to lie.
09:27We designed this also based on like me thinking that I can sit down and enjoy myself,
09:32but also be watching the kids in the pool.
09:34Ray Coral did this insane mosaics, which is so beautiful and it's green.
09:38So you could see the pool.
09:39It looks like it matches the water.
09:40It's the main thing.
09:41I want to like the pool to just blend in with the bay.
09:44It just makes everything in synergy.
10:02So as much as we love hosting.
10:04It's a rainy day and we want to get comfy.
10:07So let's go.
10:08Bye.
10:08Bye.
10:08Bye, AD.
10:09Bye, AD.
10:10Bye, AD.
10:10Bye, AD.
10:11Bye.
