The 10 Best Architectural Digest Celebrity House Tours on YouTube

youtube home tours

Architectural Digest's YouTube channel, and its "Open Door" series in particular, is one of life's greatest gifts. It filled the void that MTV cribs left in its wake when the series ended in 2010... and we're huge fans.

Because it's not every day we real estate addicts get to see behind the closed doors of luxurious, extravagant, and quirky celebrity homes. From a converted windmill in the Hamptons and a duplex penthouse apartment at the Plaza Hotel in NYC to the mansions of the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles , each home on this list will leave you both in awe and filled with inspiration.

These are the top 10 best Architectural Digest celebrity house tours...

1. robert downey jr..

First up we have Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey's converted windmill abode. This is not your run-of-the-mill (see what we did there?) Hamptons summer home, it was designed by renowned New York City firm Fox-Nahem Associates who transformed the late-19th century windmill into a charming and very private East Hampton masterpiece with stunning grounds. The highlight? Susan's office in the very top of the windmill is the ideal WFH situation and we couldn't be more jealous.

In this very humorous home tour we get to see everything from Robert's art projects and clutter closets to their table-side nap zone and numerous cats. If you're in the mood for a chuckle, look no further.

2. Dakota Johnson

If you love all things mid-century modern, this is the celebrity home tour for you.

Architectural Digest kindly bring us inside the beautiful home of movie star Dakota Johnson. Formerly the home of director Ryan Murphy, Dakota purchased the super private Hollywood Hills home for $3.55 million in 2016. Features of envy include beautiful crushed mohair vintage sofas, her cozy office with book wall, gorgeous green kitchen, and backyard oasis complete with citrus trees, a heated swimming pool, and an elevated bamboo-sheltered hot tub area.

There isn't an inch of this lush but humble abode that we don't love.

3. Wiz Khalifa

This episode of "Open Door" is currently the most viewed of all time with 43 million views. It brings us inside Wiz Khalifa's $4.6 million mansion and recording studio in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.

The rapper's super cool pad features a heated infinity pool with incredible views, a games room with a dab AND booze bar, an underground recording studio, weed-themed photo wall, and a fleet of killer cars. Proof that this man is living the dream.

4. Cara and Poppy Delevigne

You may never find more personality in a home thanks to the Delevigne sisters' jungle-inspired home in Los Angeles.

Nicolò Bini of Line Architecture told Architectural Digest of the home, “I wanted to create a true L.A. moment for them, with nods to California midcentury modern, Laurel Canyon bohemia, Beverly Hills swank, surfing culture, and a little Mexico. Then we tied all that in with Cara and Poppy’s Englishness to give the house another layer of Delevingne charm.” The interior of this home is one-of-a-kind, no doubt about it.

Over in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles , you'll find producer and DJ Zedd's $16 million mansion.

Highlights of this Architectural Digest "Open Door" episode include the incredible canyon and hill views, indoor trees, an art gallery, and a Skittle machine. Spanning a whopping 9,500 square feet, this mansion even has its own detached studio and gym and will soon have a separate "guest-house-bowling-alley-complex". Casual...

You can understand why this is the second most viewed video on Architectural Digest's YouTube with a staggering 43 million views.

6. Kendall Jenner

Next up we have supermodel and Kardashian clan member Kendall Jenner whose serene Los Angeles home was designed by Kathleen and Tommy Clements and Waldo Fernandez. The interior of the home blends super tasteful elements and earthy shades with fun, unexpected pops of color and a calm, peaceful atmosphere.

Keep an eye out for Kendall's incredible art collection including a signature James Turrell ovoid wall sculpture as well as her incredible fireplace, beautiful bar, art studio, dream-worthy chef's kitchen, gold bathtub, glam room, and so much more.

7. J Balvin

Travel with us to Colombia for this next "Open Door" episode where we get to explore superstar J Balvin's tranquil home. Inspired by Japan aesthetics and minimalism, the house features floor-to-ceiling windows that bring nature indoors. The open plan kitchen and living room open up to the great outdoors, with a wonderful indoor / outdoor flow. The pool area is beyond dream-worthy and is surrounded by lush and tropical greenery and bonsai trees.

The minimalism and neutral color palette changes greatly when you enter J Balvin's walk-in closet where  over 850 pairs of sneaker line the walls in explosions of color. The man loves his shoes...

8. Hilary Duff

Next we'll enjoy a tour of Hilary Duff's vibrant, colorful, and cheerful family home in Los Angeles . A self-confessed home renovation addict, Hilary has renovated this house twice in the last eight years. The latest one has resulted in a quirky and somewhat eccentric aesthetic with a focus on family, livability, and large spaces to spend time in with beautiful art and tasteful features throughout.

The highlight of this home tour has got to be the chicken coop out in the back yard.

9. Tommy Hilfiger

Journey back to New York with us now for what may be the most luxurious and opulent home on this list. Legendary fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and his wife Dee reportedly purchased this duplex penthouse apartment at the Plaza Hotel for $25.5 million in 2008 (they've since sold it for $31 million, although originally listed it for $80 million).

This Plaza apartment overlooks Central Park, with incredible views of the city as far as the eye can see. This particular unit steeped in history having once hosted the likes of The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and many more iconic figures. You won't find another apartment like this in New York City.

10. Aaron Paul

Come check out Aaron Paul's custom wood and stone Idaho home. Despite the house being enormous, it has a very cozy, almost cabin-like vibe to it, tucked away in the snowy mountains and surrounded by trees and lakes. Just watching this home tour will make you feel warm 'n' fuzzy inside.

With the help of interior designer Jake Arnold and Pearson Design Group, the Pauls purchased and used the wood from three 120-year-old barns to build the house from scratch. Drool over the cathedral ceilings, vast living spaces, stone bathrooms, spacious bedrooms, and an incredible floor-to-ceiling fireplace.

Plus, a bonus one, but a must-watch nonetheless.

11. Naomi Campbell

Last but not least, we just haaad to include icon Naomi Campbell's Kenya compound and airy villa. On the coast of the Indian Ocean, in the tranquil seaside town of Malindi, lies this tranquil and "very calming place".

From the indoor/outdoor flow and two pools, to the restaurant-like outdoor dining area and on-site spa - we've never seen anything quite like this one... take a look for yourself.

Tour a Classic A. Quincy Jones Home Delicately Updated by Studio Shamshiri

It started with a typical friend’s refrain: “You two should know each other. You have so much in common.” Los Angeles gallerist Shulamit Nazarian first met AD100 designer Pamela Shamshiri at the suggestion of Michael Reynolds, the estimable design-world creative wizard and matchmaker. Not surprisingly, Reynolds’s instincts proved providential—Nazarian and Shamshiri did in fact have much in common. Both were strong, independent women of Persian descent, born in Iran and transplanted to LA with their families in the wake of the Islamic Revolution. Both were divorced mothers raising sons. And, not least of all, both owned architecturally significant houses designed by mandarins of Southern California modernism. At the time, Shamshiri inhabited Rudolph Schindler’s 1948 Lechner House, while Nazarian occupied A. Quincy Jones’s Smalley House (1969–73) in Holmby Hills, one of the architect’s largest single-family residences.

The capacious living room features a vintage Milo Baughman sofa in a Fortuny cotton-cashmere curled around a Vincenzo de Cotiis cocktail table through Carpenters Workshop Gallery , Pierre Paulin chairs with a Paul Frankl table, and carpet by Christopher Farr . Artworks include a Fay Ray hanging sculpture and a large-scale painting by Enrique Martínez Celaya .

The architecture stresses fluidity between indoor and outdoor experiences. New landscape design by Terremoto .

“We were both in moments of transition in our lives, and we felt a strong emotional connection almost immediately,” Nazarian recalls of their fortuitous meeting roughly five years ago. Shamshiri seconds the notion: “The bond was real. Shula is a student of architecture, a patron of the arts, and a gallerist dedicated to supporting women and Middle Eastern culture. She’d been living in this imposing house for years, bringing up her sons, but she didn’t seem completely comfortable there. It was a lot of house to navigate day to day, especially with her boys going off to college,” the designer explains.

Updating an important modernist home to align with the rhythms and rituals of 21st-century life is always a complicated endeavor, requiring a delicate pas de deux between historical verisimilitude and contemporary expression. Nazarian approached the challenge with probity and patience. She had lived in the home for more than a decade before she embarked on the full-scale renovation. (She’d previously confined her modifications to the garden, originally designed by modernist landscape maestro Garrett Eckbo.) “Jones and the Smalleys were great friends. Jones was eulogized here after his passing. I understood the importance of the house in his body of work, and I knew that I’d become the caretaker of this phenomenal gem,” the homeowner says. “But architecture is a living thing. It has to be relevant to the way we live now. So we utilized Jones’s language in all the changes we made, to elevate and amplify the power of his architecture.”

Jones had originally planned the house with the children’s bedrooms, family area, and kitchen on one side of the 7,500-square-foot structure, and the primary bedroom suite on the opposite side. Between the two he situated a soaring living room defined by a formidable spine wall of rough-sawn cedar that slices through the interior and extends out into the garden—a signature Jones detail that underscores the dynamic indoor-outdoor connection. “The biggest move we made was relocating Shula’s bedroom to the old children’s area on the more private side of the house, which has a much more human scale. From there, she can go to work in the generous home office and study we placed in the old primary. The progression through the house feels natural and easy,” Shamshiri says of the reorganized floor plan.

Adjacent to the office, the designer created a sybaritic home spa with a clay sauna and a biomorphic bench and hot tub of black river stones inlaid in black concrete, a construction that echoes Jones’s sensational, circular-patterned concrete floors hand-seeded with pebbles. Those floor pads also suggested the form of the radically reconceived kitchen. “Honestly, it was the most challenging kitchen I’ve ever done,” Shamshiri confesses, emphasizing the wildly tight tolerances of the walnut cabinetry and doors. For Nazarian, the effort was clearly worth it. “The kitchen is a place of gathering and nourishment. The new design connects the house’s more formal areas with the family spaces in the most beautiful, generous, welcoming way,” she says.

kitchen room circular room wood light ceiling curved

The entirely reimagined kitchen is a tour de force of design and engineering, articulated in American black walnut with pale stone counters.

Voluptuous forms and sinuous lines proliferate throughout the interior appointments, adding what Shamshiri describes as “a soft, feminine counterpoint to the rigidity of all the vertical black mullions and crisp modernist planes.” In the sunken living room, an epic Milo Baughman circular sectional sofa is joined by shapely Pierre Paulin Mushroom chairs and a curvaceous Paul Frankl cocktail table, all set on a green wall-to-wall carpet that nods to the river-patterned Edward Fields carpet specified by the home’s original decorator, the late AD100 stalwart Steve Chase . The dining room is anchored by a massive Wendell Castle table set beneath an Ayala Serfaty light fixture that hovers like a luminous cloud.

outside steps trees stone

The installation of the art collection provided another opportunity for Nazarian to put her personal stamp on the landmark house. “The architecture really stands in its own beauty, without any art at all. The most intimidating part of the process was figuring out how we handled the big spine wall. Pam and I went through many ideas, but in the end I think we were able to find a solution that respects the integrity of both the architecture and the art,” Nazarian says. One of the most seductive works on the property is a site-specific tile mural by artist Summer Wheat , installed around a new fountain tucked in a previously underutilized pocket beneath the primary bedroom. “I think it was brilliant of Jones to leave this unresolved space as a placeholder for something yet to come,” Nazarian asserts. “It allows for a discussion between past, present, and future—and isn’t that a hallmark of all great architecture?”

WEATHER ALERT

4 warnings and 3 advisories in effect for 16 regions in the area

Photos: mayor whitmire, police chief finner take aerial tour of kingwood flooding.

Michael Horton , Digital Content Producer , Houston, TX

As flood waters continue to swell throughout neighborhoods in Kingwood, Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Police Chief Troy Finner traveled by helicopter to get a first-hand view of the situation Saturday afternoon.

“Houston residents benefit when all levels of government work together,” Mayor Whitmire said in a statement. “Together, we will get through these challenges. Let’s go to work!”

In the statement, the Mayor’s Office said that the purpose of the helicopter tour was to give Houston’s elected leaders a greater perspective of the damage in Kingwood and the potential resources the community will need in the coming days.

“Mayor Whitmire is staying in touch with residents and first responders through every means possible. Furthermore, he is using his contacts to speak to Governor Abbott and Lt Governor Patrick and has had a great response from the Texas Division of Emergency Management,” an excerpt from the statement read.
