00:05This space is huge, so invite everyone, as you sit here and imagine the parties you're
00:09going to throw.
00:10It's elegant, yet livable, and I promise you it'll impress even the most discerning New
00:14Yorker.
00:36I'm Sarah Gore, and welcome to Open House NYC, everyone.
00:39You are going to love the homes we're going to show you this week, filled with curated
00:43design and decor, so to kick things off, we are at this elegant duplex loft in Tribeca
00:49that's all about volume, light, and understated sophistication.
00:53The moment you step inside, you are met with soaring ceilings and a graceful, easy flow between
00:59the open living spaces.
01:01It's a home that feels expansive, yet refined, offering a fresh take on loft living and one
01:07of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods.
01:09Enjoy.
01:14Hi, I'm Eyal Dagan with Sotheby's International Realty, and I'm here to show you around
01:19this spectacular duplex loft in the heart of Tribeca.
01:21It has 7,185 square feet interior, over 2,000 square feet exterior, and as you'll see, endless
01:28opportunities to host epic parties.
01:33As soon as you step off the elevator, the tone is immediately set.
01:36This is a home with style and sophistication.
01:39Just look at this chic vignette in the entry, it sits beneath a grand center stairway, featuring
01:45an intricate wrought iron balustrade.
01:47You'll also notice this row of original cast iron columns that practically guide you right
01:52into the living room.
01:56As you sit here and imagine the parties you're going to throw, natural light pours through
02:01these windows, even on a rainy day, and these are original windows that can actually open.
02:06This space is huge, so invite everyone.
02:08I mean, check out the size of these sofas, and there's two of them.
02:11And don't you just love a cozy reading nook moment?
02:14It's also got soaring ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and custom white oak millwork.
02:20It's elegant, yet livable, and I promise you it'll impress even the most discerning New
02:25Yorker.
02:27This is the office where deals get done.
02:29It's right off the living room and can be closed off when those important calls come
02:33in.
02:33But when the workday is done, you're going to be hungry, so follow me.
02:41The graceful open flow actually allows the home to tell a story as you move from space
02:46to space.
02:46I always describe this place as cinematic, which is fitting because one of its past
02:51owners was the iconic M. Night Shyamalan.
02:53The heart of the home features a stylish dining area, a relaxing family room, sleek sitting
02:59nook, and this dramatic chef's kitchen.
03:01So get cooking.
03:02It's got everything you need for your dream meal.
03:04And if you make a mess, don't worry.
03:07Just cover it up with these pocket doors and shades.
03:10Rounding out the first floor are three huge bedrooms, each with plenty of style, but follow
03:15me for the main event.
03:22Up here is a flex space of fun.
03:26Whether you're gaming, or lounging, or sunning yourself on this beautiful terrace.
03:38Maybe not today, but you can imagine on a sunny day and those iconic views, you enter the primary
03:50suite through this ingenious use of space that offers generous storage and a quiet sense
03:55of luxury, making it both your walk-in and walk-through closet.
03:59And there's two of them.
04:00The primary bedroom has been designed to make you feel romantic, yet serene.
04:05It's light, it's airy, and completely dreamy.
04:08You've got a chic, oversized, upholstered headboard, plenty of room for seating, a built-in vanity,
04:14and best of all, a wood-burning fireplace.
04:16Winter nights will never be the same.
04:18And in the warmer months, you've got your own private terrace, perfect for sunset cocktails.
04:23This is definitely the kind of bedroom that makes you feel like you're on vacation every
04:27day.
04:32So that's the tour of the penthouse here at 45 Walker Street, a one-of-a-kind indoor-outdoor
04:38oasis in the heart of one of New York's best neighborhoods.
04:41Thanks for coming, and I'll see you next time.
04:45Coming up, partners in design and life show us their creative home.
04:49Don't go anywhere.
04:59Welcome back, everyone.
05:00Now we're with Chris and Amber Earle, partners in design and life, and the founders of Earle
05:06Home.
05:07Their North Hollywood home is filled with custom pieces inspired by their travels, offering
05:12a look at how they live and what fuels their work.
05:16Enjoy.
05:20Hi, I'm Chris Earle.
05:22And I'm Amber Earle.
05:23And we're the founders of Earle.
05:25Here at Earle Home, I am the creative behind it.
05:28I'm the design and builder.
05:30And I take the furniture and I place it into spaces and make them look pretty.
05:35And run the whole business.
05:36Yeah.
05:38Welcome to our home and studio.
05:43When you walk into the room, the fireplace is oriented at an angle.
05:46And so we actually got this cowhide because we needed something with asymmetry to play off
05:52of the fireplace.
05:53And then on the fireplace, that's actually one of our mirrors.
05:57All our pieces are solid wood construction.
05:59We use traditional joinery.
06:01So that's an important aspect that I want to bring into every piece.
06:04We love the rocking chair paired with the lounge chair.
06:08And then we are always changing the fabrics.
06:11But right now we played into the French blue, velvet, and blue clay, which we think is really
06:16complimentary to the brown leather and the sofa.
06:24So our dining table is always a rotation of different chairs.
06:27You can come here and sit in one of five of maybe 20 different chairs we've made.
06:33One of the things I like about the came back chair is we got to do two versions.
06:37Yep.
06:37We've got the standard dining and then a captain chair version of it.
06:41I like how the arm came out.
06:42We also have this folding chair over here that actually we haven't even launched yet.
06:47Oh, world debut.
06:49Our built-in here, Chris painted it to just match the walls.
06:53Yeah.
06:53It really helped to brighten up the room.
06:55Before it looked like a little dungeon, now it looks like somewhere you want to eat.
07:03So this is where we spend a lot of the time.
07:05We should definitely talk about this chair.
07:07We've talked about a lot of chairs.
07:08This one's great though.
07:10All right.
07:10The only thing I'll say about it is it's a nice size chair.
07:13It's built for you.
07:14But inevitably, anytime someone sits in this thing, someone else comes and sits right next
07:19to them.
07:19But I want to talk about this sideboard here with the caning detail and the wood doors.
07:24I think it really grounds the room.
07:26This room specifically, it's kind of our throwback to Papua New Guinea where Chris grew up.
07:31So we have the arrows on the wall.
07:33Those actually, do you get those when you're a kid or?
07:35That was a teen maybe.
07:36Okay.
07:37I guess that's a kid.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Right?
07:38Yeah.
07:39So we actually have a little sitting room.
07:40There's a really beautiful bar cart underneath.
07:43And then conversational piece is this heritage photo wall that kind of draws you in.
07:49It creates conversation.
07:50It allows you to tell your story.
07:57So for the bedroom, keep it simple.
08:00Beautiful bed, dresser to put your stuff in.
08:02That's all you need.
08:03Nice stand.
08:04Yeah.
08:04We got married in 2012 and Chris actually made me this bed frame as a Christmas gift.
08:10It just really brings back the idea of this is heritage heirloom furniture that's made
08:15to get better with age.
08:17Again, we have the meaningful art and pictures on the walls and just always wanting to feel
08:22warm and cozy.
08:23So this is where the resting happens.
08:25But for work stuff, you got to join me out in the shop.
08:33So my process here is pretty hands on.
08:36I get in here and just start prototyping.
08:37So I'll generally get to scrap wood, start slapping stuff together.
08:41But I'm just figuring out heights, angles.
08:43Is this thing going to be functional?
08:45Yeah.
08:45And then I come in and I'm like, okay, I need this done in walnut and I need the top
08:50to spin.
08:50I need it to be compact.
08:51And I create a photo shoot and I kind of bring the pieces to life.
08:55We always say we're kind of living the California dream together.
08:58We're making furniture, creating spaces for people to gather and connect.
09:07All right, guys.
09:07Thank you so much for coming by.
09:09Check out our operation here at Earl.
09:11Yeah.
09:12Thank you so much.
09:12It was a pleasure.
09:13We'll see you next time.
09:16Coming up just after the break, we're with this art dealer and curator.
09:20Don't go anywhere.
09:30Welcome back, everyone.
09:31Now we're with Lolita Cross, curator and art dealer in the West Village.
09:36Her apartment is a compact space, but every element shows the impact subtle, thoughtful design can make.
09:43Take a look.
09:48I am Lolita Cross.
09:50I'm an art advisor and art curator, and I am here in the West Village.
09:55As an art advisor, I help clients purchase and get familiar with artworks.
10:01And my background as an art curator allows me to focus a bit more on the context of the artwork
10:06and prioritize the educational part of the job.
10:10Art is awe, and it's sublime, and it's important.
10:18I found this apartment eight months ago.
10:21It came with a lot of character.
10:23So art was a huge part of the design of this apartment.
10:28It's what came first, starting with this artwork, which I always knew was going to be on this wall.
10:33This is a piece by Leslie Hewitt, and the piece is all about personal objects and the narratives you create
10:38around them.
10:39And the yellow in the piece was what I wanted to highlight, and so I picked this fabric and wanted
10:47to create this kind of alcove for it.
10:50On the opposite wall, I have a piece by Tyler Mitchell, and I always loved the melancholy that comes with
10:56his work.
10:57This is probably my favorite spot in the apartment.
10:59In the morning, I like to sit here with the windows wide open.
11:03The sun shines right through here, and I love it.
11:12I didn't change anything in the kitchen because I kind of loved it.
11:16I love the country house feeling of it, and it really leaned into it.
11:21I have a fridge full of personal notes on it.
11:25I have two works by Judy Chicago where she had created all these plates in honor of a mythical or
11:32a historical female figure.
11:35And I like that it's kind of my feminist corner.
11:37And I like that it's also about building community because they're actual plates that I hung on the wall.
11:43Behind the sink, I have a small little artwork, which is the first piece I ever bought.
11:48And then my kitchen towel is actually a photo of an artwork, and it's really beautiful.
11:57The bedroom is a little powder room.
12:00The piece I had in mind for that was a work by Madeleine Hollander, which hangs above my bed.
12:07So this artwork is all about the lights of the city, and I wanted to have that in conversation with
12:12the neon sign that hangs in front of my apartment.
12:16So it feels like I'm in symbiosis with the city.
12:19Across from it, I have this work by Lorraine O'Grady.
12:23It's kind of like family-oriented and felt like having some kind of a family photo in my bedroom.
12:29This is Cash. He is from the south, so I give him a southern name.
12:34It took me months to find a bedside table that could fit both mine and his bed so that he
12:42had the perfect little nook.
12:43Now that I've shown you guys my apartment, let's go take a look at a few galleries.
12:54To me, a really good artwork is as good as a really good conversation, which is needed.
13:00It's food. It's food for your brain. It's food for your thoughts.
13:03It's food for what you will put out into the world because your brain is full of interesting topics.
13:13I hope you were as inspired as I was, and I hope you've enjoyed seeing what I do and where
13:19I live.
13:20Bye.
13:22Coming up just after the break, we're with designer Justin Charette at a classic loft remade.
13:37Welcome back, everyone.
13:38Now we're at an expansive Soho loft with designer Justin Charette.
13:42See how he worked with the original details, wood columns and beams, a tin ceiling, exposed brick and oversized arch
13:50windows to create a fresh take on classic loft living that's also filled with gorgeous southern light.
13:57Take a look.
14:01Hi, my name is Justin Charette of Justin Charette Design and welcome to my project in Soho.
14:06The design objective of this project was to embrace the past of this cast iron Soho loft while creating a
14:12sleek Zen refuge.
14:17Since you stepped right off the elevator into this loft, I wanted to create a welcoming moment in this entry.
14:23I started with this curved Bauer Studios mirror.
14:26It adds light into the space and gives you a first and last look.
14:30Then I added this custom carpet by Stark.
14:33It has a black feature that actually mirrors the mirror.
14:37And then I created this custom bench with fabric by Zack and Fox, which gives you a stylish place to
14:43take off your shoes.
14:47The main area of the loft contains a living room, dining room and kitchen.
14:52And since it's a big open space, I wanted to define each area by creating custom rugs.
14:56This custom rug defines the color palette of the living room.
15:00I placed the living room by these large arched windows to maximize the light.
15:04The tin ceiling, original columns, exposed brick and wall of windows remind you you're in a classic Soho loft.
15:12This oversized ottoman serves as a center element.
15:15I covered it in this soft gray mohair to complement the carpet.
15:19The matching sofas are in a cream leather.
15:21It's the only item that the client requested.
15:24And the tables serve a dual purpose.
15:26They're a stool and a place to put your drink.
15:28The living room also functions as a music room with a Steinway.
15:31And I placed this Jacob Hashimoto right by it.
15:34I love three-dimensional art because it adds interest and depth to a space.
15:39And art plays a big part of my design, including in the dining area.
15:45Here, I selected this piece by Omar Rayo, which adds interest and depth to the dining area.
15:51The glass dining table is actually the same size and shape as the living room ottoman.
15:56I wanted it to serve as an element of continuity while also defining the space.
16:01The wooden and suede chairs add contrast to the steel dining table.
16:05And as with all the spaces in here, I designed this custom carpet.
16:09And no dining area is complete without a chandelier.
16:13I selected this Lindsay Adelman to bring movement into the space.
16:17And it adds a romantic glow to any dinner.
16:23Because this kitchen is visible, it had to look good.
16:26And I think it's a showstopper.
16:27It features this large center island, custom oak cabinets, and marble countertops.
16:33It isn't just a kitchen.
16:34It's a stage to show off your culinary skills.
16:36But what I think is really clever is this ingenious cutout, which lets southern light into the private areas.
16:47This loft has two bedrooms, with this one configured as a cozy media room and home office.
16:53But now, let me take you to the primary suite.
16:59I wanted this space to be peaceful, yet still impactful.
17:03To achieve this, I used art with bold, striking forms and minimal color.
17:07The furnishings in here are all neutral to complement the artwork and soothe the senses.
17:14This leather bed and boucle sofa soften the straight edges of this bedroom.
17:20And to add a little pattern, I use these monochromatic pillows and carpet.
17:24I find night lights are often overlooked, so I chose this snazzy pair from Kelly Wurstler.
17:30This is a great space to unwind after a night out in Soho.
17:38This project was all about celebrating original architectural details and understated luxe design.
17:45In my humble opinion, it turned out great.
17:48See you on the next one.
17:51Coming up just after the break, expect the unexpected at this colorful home.
18:05Welcome back everyone.
18:06Now we're with interior designer Victoria Holley at a recently completed project in Studio City, California.
18:12See how Victoria created a customized look that captured her client's personality.
18:18The result is a bright, colorful and pattern rich home that defies expectations.
18:24Take a look.
18:28Hi, my name is Victoria Holley, owner and designer of Victoria Holley Interiors.
18:32Welcome to one of my latest projects, which is a fusion of grand millennial meets postmodern design.
18:37In this home, you're going to see the reinvention of a builder grade home turned into a personal millennial paradise.
18:44Let's go check it out.
18:48So when I first met with my client, he loved the open floor plan.
18:52As you can see, the kitchen, living room and dining room is connected, but the home lacked personality.
18:57So a lot of this project was ways to infuse our client's personality and taste into a home while still
19:03being resourceful and sustainable.
19:05For example, you see the fireplace.
19:07This was all white before.
19:08And so we decided to just say, you know what, let's cover it in a pale blush pink.
19:13And it completely changes the vibe of the fireplace while keeping the bones and structure in place.
19:17We sourced this vintage coffee table that actually spins around so you can really see the decor and entertain from
19:24all different directions.
19:25And then we went with this palette of teals and mauves and browns and then paired it with this incredible
19:33jungle wallpaper,
19:34which serves as a way to ground the living room and separate it from the kitchen and dining.
19:45This kitchen was a challenge, which I always appreciate a good challenge.
19:49But again, my client wanted a kitchen that looked a little bit more custom and tailored.
19:53So what we did was repainted the kitchen in this rich, wonderful green with like an undertone of blue.
19:59And then one of my favorite touches in this kitchen are these taco lights.
20:04They're fun.
20:05They're unexpected.
20:07You have these subtle curves to the hardware and this old school shape to the knobs.
20:12And then we tied that in with the black metal and wiring here, but then chose an unexpected glass shape.
20:18Our client really wanted an open concept space that was great for entertaining.
20:23And so we really were able to achieve that both in the floor plan, but also the use of accent
20:28lighting.
20:29The kitchen lights feel a little bit more playful and postmodern.
20:32And this is more of a nod to 1920s and a little bit more grand millennial style.
20:38And so we wanted to make sure that they were two very different styles so they weren't just competing with
20:42each other.
20:46Welcome to the primary bedroom, which is boho chic themed, just with the pull of very thick blackout curtains.
20:53You can access the California indoor outdoor living with these sliding doors and then you're outside on the patio.
20:58And there's so many wonderful areas to relax in within the backyard, within the dining and the fire pit.
21:03You're just able to enjoy California.
21:11That's it for the tour. I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you on the next one.
21:17That's all for this week's episode. We hope you enjoyed these tours today.
21:20Don't forget, we'll be back next week with more homes and design inspiration.
