Today, AD welcomes interior designer Darren Jett to tour one of his most recent design projects, a full Soho loft renovation. From structural changes to interior design, every decision matters when renovating a space–Jett breaks down how he landed on the final design and what factored into his choices.

Monica Geller’s apartment in ‘Friends’ is iconic to sitcom fans, but could it have better feng shui? Today, AD welcomes interior designer and feng shui practitioner Julie Khuu to see how she would redesign this famous apartment to invite good qi.

Today, AD is welcomed by supermodel Paloma Elsesser to tour her Brooklyn townhouse. An illustrious modeling career means Elsesser is often jet-setting the globe, and as a result, her time at home has become her vacation time. Brooklyn was always where the supermodel wanted to end up setting up home, with Gregory Rockwell and Hester Hodde of Gregory Rockwell Interiors helping bring her oasis to life. Her home takes its cues from Milan design, mixing vintage and artisanal pieces, a style Elsesser has been drawn to since her many travels to Italy’s fashion capital. As the model settles into her dream home, it’s already been a place of great personal evolution–“I feel like I became a woman here,” she admits. “I learned to navigate so many things—a breakup, a contractor, having agency over my decisions and my money. I’m under no one else’s jurisdiction. It’s scary, but also very freeing.”

Today, AD joins architect and designer Hugo Toro to tour one of his latest projects–the renovation of an abandoned Paris townhouse. When the AD100 designer’s clients bought their new home it had sat abandoned for fifteen years providing a blank canvas to work on. Toro gave the seven-story townhouse a grand makeover including an indoor pool, roof terrace, and artisanal furniture.

Today, AD is welcomed by Brooklyn-based visual artist Maris Jones to tour the creative space in which she designs sets for Chappell Roan and more. Jones grew up the daughter of artists, so creativity has always been her path. Making her start filming viral short videos on Vine, Jones’s work has evolved into surreal world-building that has caught the eye of famous names–this past year creating sets for Chappell Roan’s performances on The Late Show, The Tonight Show, and The Governor’s Ball. Follow Jones as she shows you around her home and prepares for the launch of her new book.
