Today, AD welcomes back Grammy-winning DJ and producer Zedd for an exclusive tour of his brand-new Los Angeles home. Seven years after his first Open Door appearance, Zedd returns with a minimalist sanctuary designed by Jae Omar that reflects a new chapter in his life. A Japandi-inspired aesthetic defines the space, while an at-home gym and spa support his renewed focus on health and wellness. The centerpiece of the home is a state-of-the-art recording studio spanning over 5,000 square feet. With everything he could possibly need under one roof, Zedd has built the ultimate home retreat–“The goal was to never have to leave,” he says.

00:00What's up, AD? I'm Zed. It's been a while. Come on in.

00:05So this entrance, as you can tell, is pretty simple and compared to how I used to like my

00:20entrances with a ton of different things. The key here was really just simplicity and enjoying the

00:26view that you get when you walk into this house. It's one of the most magical parts of this house

00:32to me is walking in and you immediately feel at home. This sort of center point tree is something

00:39that I love. At my old house, we had the same people build an olive tree and I loved how that

00:46tree made me feel. So I wanted to replicate it here. It gives you a little bit of greenery inside

00:52of the house. And it's also an amazing source of light at night. You don't need the lights up.

00:56You can just have the tree give you just enough.

01:05This is my living room. And as you will notice, it's very simple. The couch is a cloud couch from

01:12RH. Most of the furniture you see here is RH. I still think it's the most comfortable couch that

01:17I've ever sat on. I've always been a fan. The most use this will get is when we do mafia nights,

01:22which is something we got into where we just fill this with seats and play mafia. And that's where

01:28the couch really, really matters because any little move you make for anybody who's ever played mafia

01:33or werewolf, the couch delivers. In terms of this ginormous coffee table, as you will notice,

01:40there's barely anything on it. Key component is simplicity, matching of colors. My theory,

01:46not scientifically proven though, is that if there's less clutter, if there's less things for your eye

01:52and brain to have to focus on, your average heart rate throughout the year will be at least one BPM

01:57lower. So my choice here was to keep it super simple, keep it easy. And the advantage is if you

02:02want to eat, which I sometimes do eat here, you know, I just sit down, there's enough leg room, we made

02:08sure and you eat sushi and watch South Park. This house was designed by Jay Omar, an incredible

02:16designer. I'm a huge fan. And on the interior decoration side of things, this is the first

02:21time I've ever worked with an interior designer. His name is John Krawick. He's been incredible to

02:26work with. He was willing to collaborate and really bring my vision to life and not sort of try to place

02:31things. So you will notice everything is incredibly cohesive, very simple, very calming.

02:40This is the main kitchen. Same core principles of simplicity. This area of the kitchen is probably

02:46where I spend the most time. I wish I was a good chef. I'm not. However, I'm very good at making

02:52coffees. It's something I got really obsessed with a few years ago. And I went on this journey to finding

02:57the best equipment, the best beans. And as you can see, it looks a little bit like a lab. This is

03:03where I will be making coffees for myself, for my friends, and I probably spend an equal amount of

03:08time here and in the studio. We have beans out here, different choices. This is if I want to make a pot of

03:16coffee. And then this grinder right here is specifically set to a coarser grind, which will

03:22make a lot more sense with filter coffee and less sense with espresso. Now, I'm really about precision

03:29when it comes to espressos. Key component is this cool cup that is also a scale at the same time. As

03:35you can tell, will tell you how much something weighs if you put some pressure on it. And then you just put

03:41the beans in here, and then you weigh them, and then you put them into this grinder. I believe it was

03:46designed by a person who has worked on some of the first Apple devices. And out of all grinders that

03:53I've tried, this is the most precise reproducible results. And if your goal, which is my goal,

04:00to have consistency, this is the best that I have ever tried. This Slayer espresso machine is what I

04:07use to extract my coffee. I am obsessed with this machine. I don't want to be a walking ad, but I have

04:15been very, very happy with how this has been performing. And then we're sort of flanked by

04:19milk fridges right here, because I like when I went to coffee shops and I like how they can like

04:24so I want to do that myself. So I put a dedicated milk fridge in here. The rest is for cooking.

04:29I stay out of that. I'm currently in a really health conscious time of my life. I have tons of spices

04:36because I found spices to be the best way to make up for the lack of fats. If you're trying to eat

04:43calorically conscious, and then I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it. We call it Maggi. I'm

04:48from Germany. I grew up with this. This is liquid gold. You put this on anything. It tastes amazing.

04:53It doesn't even matter what it is. I think it's liquid MSG. I don't know if it's good for you. But

04:57you know, not everything can be good for you in life. You got to make compromises. And this is my

05:01compromise. I love this. We are in the life room lounge of my studio. This is something we built from

05:15the ground up. And it sort of fulfills my dream of being able to be creative, have a space to make

05:21music and be able to record immediately anywhere I get inspired. So we have the piano, the drums,

05:26the guitar, everything is hooked up, ready to go.

05:34So one of the most amazing things about being here, besides the fact that this is my favorite piano,

05:40and I went out and played so many and this specific one just speaks to me. I can be writing music here

05:47and playing and I get inspired. And then we have this magical box right here. I can just plug

05:52a little cable into here, or there, or by the drums, and I can control my main room from out here.

06:01So if I really write something incredible that I want to make a song out of, I don't have to lose

06:05the inspiration and move away and boot up my computer. I can just continue right from here and

06:11I'm controlling my actual computer. But there's more. Let me show you. We have a little Easter egg of my

06:17Telos album. So what you will notice is there's a lot of hidden arches, whether it's the arch of my

06:22album, or the little arches in what are actually sound absorbers. It's all there to point back to

06:28my album, which is arches and stained glasses. So we got a little bit of a stained glass seed here.

06:34So you will see those popping out everywhere. The record wall is inspired by this Japanese

06:40library slash lounge. The idea was just to get inspirational feel, warmth, and sort of history

06:46while you're in a room where you can write. Now this is the hallway to the actual studios. We have

06:53room B, which is a small production room. It is fully soundproof, but it's not there to be grand

07:00and inspiring. It's just there to get things done. Or if I want to collaborate with an artist, I can have

07:04an artist work here while I work in my room. Then here we have the vocal booth. And the idea here was

07:11that you can face either of the two rooms and you can record with whoever you want to. You just pull

07:18the curtain for who you don't want to see. And then welcome to the main room, which is where I spend most

07:24of my time. I've in 15 years of producing music never had daylight in a studio. And so when I realized

07:31the orientation of this room and we consulted with our studio designers, we realized there's a world where

07:35I might have daylight and it literally, I didn't even care about anything else. I just wanted to be

07:40in daylight. And so we built the studio from the ground up and you will notice in terms of the

07:45design, it's incredibly simplistic. All the furniture in this room, besides the couch, were made and

07:50designed by Hadrian D'Souza, who's incredible and built them based on my knee size so that I can sit and

08:00play basically made for me. And my engineer Skinny has been working with Hadrian to sort of figure out

08:06where the cables have to run so that you don't really look at any cables at all. It's incredibly

08:11clean for how much is going on here. This is here for me to make music, be inspired and enjoy the

08:17daylight. The most important part of my gear is literally hiding behind the screen, which is just

08:24a laptop. You just slide it into the stand and everything is powered on. Yeah, when I was a kid

08:29making music on a laptop, I definitely never thought I would be in any place along these lines,

08:34not even as a visitor. Honestly, this is beyond any of my wildest dreams. And I also wouldn't have

08:40guessed that all these years later, I'm back on a laptop where I started. And it's all I need at

08:45this point. The Rhodes is something I've always dreamt of having. We have a little custom plate on it

08:50and it is a remake that they did a limited edition of. This was my chance to get into the Rhodes game

08:57and you will hear it all over my album. It is an amazing instrument. It's historic. The worm sound

09:02of Rhodes.

09:10It's a magical instrument. This is the magic.

09:13So this is the wellness wing of the house. This in particular is the cardio room. I spent a lot of

09:26time here. I bought this iPad holder and I put my iPad on here and I play Hearthstone Battlegrounds.

09:33It's like a card game that you can kind of play and do something and I do my cardio and I play my game.

09:37So that was my way to get around hating being here. And obviously the beautiful view helps a lot.

09:45So this is the recovery part of the whole wellness wing. It is where I get my massages. We have the dry

09:52sauna. We have the steam room which genuinely feels like a billion degrees. An important part of working

09:59out and being fit, recovery. And speaking of recovery, one part I almost hate the most and do daily

10:06is the cold plunge. Every morning I stand here, contemplate life, procrastinate until I just go

10:13in. I feel like the cold plunge became part of my life routine. I do 2 minutes and 40 seconds a day

10:18in it and I hate it every single day. It does get a little bit easier over time but it doesn't get any

10:25better. But then when you get out of it, you kind of feel great. So that's why we do it. And I start

10:29the day with something that sucks and when I'm done with it, that's already been the worst part of the

10:33day. It only goes up from there. This is where we lift. It's not the prettiest thing you've ever

10:38seen but it's here to get some work done. So this used to be a guest house but I feel weird putting

10:44guests in a guest house. I want my guests to be in the house and like enjoy everything that the house

10:48has to offer. And this to me is just a dedicated fitness room. And there's also pickleball court.

10:53It is amazing because I hate leaving my house. My goal was to have everything I need from the plunges,

11:00to the pickleball, to the lifting, to making music. Everything I want to be able to do at home because

11:05compared to most people, for a living, I leave my house. I used to drink a ton on stage and over time

11:12I realized that I can't afford to do that anymore because the hangovers get longer and the schedules

11:16get tighter. So I made health and well-being a major component of my life. As much as it sucks and

11:23I don't know anybody who loves working out in the gym in the morning but I think it's something that

11:28if you make it a routine of your life, especially if you start your day with it, the whole day gets better.

11:32In this primary suite, I wanted to fulfill all my three needs, which is being able to be creative

11:47if this is where I am and I feel inspiration, which is why I have the Busendorfer piano here.

11:53The same one we saw in the studio, just slightly smaller, but it still plays like a dream. My second

11:58mode is sleep. I take sleep incredibly seriously, so I really cherish this bed and I will fly home in

12:06the middle of the night to sleep in my own bed. And the third of the important bits is gaming.

12:12It's part of my routine. It's my wind down nightly routine and I'm going to take you to the gaming

12:17space. I guess you would call this the living room of the primary suite. It has two ways to game. One is

12:23my PC setup, which looks ridiculous in such a beautifully designed home, but

12:27you got to know what's important to you and to me. I need a good gaming setup. So that's where I game

12:32every night before I go to sleep. So if I don't use the PC for gaming, I use this, which is kind of

12:38magic. For example, if you want to play PlayStation or Switch or Xbox, there's a TV hiding inside of

12:46this and you will notice the TV is taller than the entirety of the space. What makes this magical is

12:52it's actually a roll-up TV. So it basically goes down into a little spiral and then when you press a

12:57button, it rolls itself up. And I still wonder every time how it does that, but it just goes away

13:03silently and gently. And I like to do this all day because it still blows my mind and I even

13:09know what's about to happen. It's crazy. I still don't get it.

13:19This is where I get ready, where I get my haircuts, where I do my makeup for shoots like today. This is

13:25very much in line with the goal of never having to leave your house. You know, I get my haircuts here,

13:31I get my makeup done here, everything that I ever need to do in my life, I want to be able to do from

13:36home. And so I dedicated this bathroom just to get ready. So this is the primary bathroom. One of my

13:43favorite features is the light. There's skylights here, there's skylights in the shower, obviously huge

13:49windows, which just makes it feel amazing. And it gives me a bedtime because I know if I go to bed

13:54and I see light, stayed up a little bit too late, but you will notice how simple everything is. No

14:00clutter, nothing unnecessary. And then my typical routine is I go take a shower and then I walk up to

14:07this part and I wear the same shirt every day. I open this and I usually just grab the first thing,

14:13which is always going to be a black shirt, and I wear it. But outside of these, I do have an actual

14:18closet, which I would love to take you. Welcome to my main closet, which consists of a shoe wall

14:30that I built to house all of my shoes until I got more. This is the shoe that I wore in the Break Free

14:39music video with Ariana Grande. It's a very bizarre shoe and it only has like half of a sole, but I

14:44really wanted to keep it as a memory. So this is one of my favorite shoes and memories. Filming that

14:50music video was awesome. I always find these awesome shoes. I buy them and I never leave my house,

14:55which I suppose I told you was the purpose of this house. So I don't know why I buy them. But anyway,

15:00I like comfortable shoes. I jump a lot on stage. So whether I'm on stage or whether I'm running or on

15:05the elliptical, I typically just go for comfortable shoes. We installed these pant hangers and you can

15:13see them all without having to guess what's where. So this is a neat feature. And otherwise,

15:20this is pretty much your go to regular just doesn't close. This is your regular closet. I try to keep it

15:28as organized as I can. But with all the travel I do, sometimes I get lazy, and I just throw things in

15:33places. I also started collecting watches, which is maybe the only thing I really collect in my life.

15:39And I have a lot of really fun pieces, including this one of one Telos Moser piece, the tourbillon.

15:47It's a work of art. And I approach watches with every watch has to offer something that another watch

15:56doesn't offer, whether it's a different color or texture or movement could be like a very vintage

16:02looking piece like this. And it can be an incredibly shiny piece like that. I can find beauty in anything,

16:11as long as it's symmetrical.

16:21Thank you guys so much for checking out my new house. It's been a pleasure to show you around,

16:24but it is time to get back to work for me. I'll see you at the next one.
