How Thousands of Years of History Weave Through NYC's Central Park
Today Michael Wyetzner of Michielli + Wyetzner Architects joins AD in New York as he returns to Central Park to explore the thousands of years of history found there. Although Central Park itself would not have existed 200 years ago, you can track the use of the land back 13,000 years. From ancient Native American trails to billion-year-old rocks, take an in-depth look at the thousands of years of history housed inside this iconic park.3 Interior Designers Transform The Same Dated 60s Kitchen
We gave interior designers Noz Nozawa, Kat Bell, and Hema Persad a photo of the same outdated 1960s kitchen—and then asked each of them to renovate it in their particular style. Three artists, one canvas, each bringing something different to the space. Which designer's renovation can you see yourself bringing into the 21st Century?Inside 9 Fabulous Celebrity Closets
Today Architectural Digest takes you inside some of the most stylish celebrity closets. From Emma Chamberlain's dream dressing room to Carmelo Anthony's dedicated sneaker paradise, look at the rooms where the fashion happens.Inside Harris Reed’s Fantastical London Home
Today, AD is welcomed by fashion designer Harris Reed to tour his fantastical London home. When the trailblazing Nina Ricci creative director and husband Eitan Senerman first viewed their future home it was dark, gray, and in dire need of renovation–yet there was something about it Reed could not stop thinking about. The space felt like a blank canvas, and with the help of his godfather, Harry Harris of 4Corners Design, and Georgina Wood, founder and creative director of Studio Clementine, Reed turned the space into a “Wes Anderson–meets–Oscar Wilde” fantasyland. The 750-square-foot space transcends into opulence with embroidered silk walls, embellished ceilings, and marbled floors creating the perfect creative refuge for the couple. “It really is a safe queer space—all our friends can feel at home here,” he says. “We’ve created something so authentic, and it’s beautiful when a dream allows others to dream as well. I think that’s really special.”

Today, AD is welcomed by Antoni Porowski to tour his sophisticated New York home. The Queer Eye star has always been something of a self-professed nomad, but when the pandemic hit it was time to lay down some more permanent roots. Despite dreams of a historic loft in downtown Manhattan, Porowski wasn’t keen on a huge renovation, instead finding ‘the one’ in a new build. With the help of Andrew Torrey, a good friend, and AD PRO Directory interior designer, Porowski transformed his new home into a chic, sophisticated space full of unique art and custom artisanal furniture pieces. “Every corner here is a memory,” Porowski notes. “I do love to travel, but then I can’t wait to come home.”Inside Yolanda Hadid’s Modern Texas Ranch
Today, AD is welcomed by Yolanda Hadid to tour her modern Texas home. The reality TV star’s relationship with Fort Worth is a real love story; after visiting on her first date with her partner, Joseph Jingoli, over six years ago, the couple have now built their dream Texan refuge from the ground up. Hadid designed the home herself with an industrial, modern, and relaxing vision in mind. The former model masters the ranch aesthetic with beautiful reclaimed wood throughout and a mudroom that does not disappoint. And when her children, Anwar, Gigi, and Bella Hadid, come to stay there are plenty of cozy rooms including an adorable bunkbed room designed especially for granddaughter Khai and any future grandkids. An elegant mix of hard industrial lines and plush textures, Yolanda Hadid’s home is the perfect place to kick off your boots and unwind “I want people to be able to come in and wear their cowboy boots. I’m not going to worry about mud on the floors. It had to be casual,” she says. “I wanted to use a lot of organic materials because there’s something about cowboy culture that feels organic to me—going back to the earth.” Still images of The Wild Horses of Sable Island ® by Roberto DutescoTouring the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Set with Nymphia Wind

Today Architectural Digest travels to the Vancouver countryside to tour the 75.9 House. Designed by Omer Arbel, this unique structure got its name from being the 9th iteration of the 75th idea they authored in their studio. Omer’s design plays with the idea of creating future ancient structures using concrete in a soft, fluid way, letting the material dictate its form. Impressive tree-like pillars flow through the space giving the appearance of ‘found’ ruins. Join Omer for an in-depth look at the creative process and philosophy behind this unique structure.Touring the ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 4 Set With Lily Collins

Today, AD is welcomed by Lil Baby to tour his stylish bachelor pad in Atlanta. When the Grammy-nominated rapper moved into his home a couple of years ago it looked nothing like it does now. With the help of Georgia-based AD PRO Directory designer Annysa LaMantia, they worked together to create a stylish yet playful interior full of warmth and spacious areas for hosting. After years of hard work, Lil Baby’s home is now full of the buzz he wanted–from a movie theater to a basketball court there is always something to enjoy when guests pop round.“Not only does it feel like home, it feels like a great accomplishment for me.”
