Hi, Homeworthy, I'm Todd from Studio Todd Raymond And today we're in my loft apartment in Soho, New York Come on in You're watching Homeworthy, where we believe every home has a story My name is Todd Raymond I have an interior design firm called Studio Todd Raymond And today we are in my loft in Soho, New York So we sort of found this apartment We didn't actually look at too many apartments I think we looked at four or five And this was the very first one we saw And put an offer into it Our selling point, we walked in And it was very much a raw loft space From like the 80s Like had not been updated, had not been renovated And what we loved most about the apartment Was these sort of seven sets of French doors That opened to a Juliet balcony It really made us think that we were in Europe It felt very Madrid, it felt very Paris And we sort of took that theme and ran with it So you know, there was no applied moldings You know, in the apartment at all It was very much like a raw space So we kind of brought in that old world charm With the applied moldings And sort of created our own little Europe in New York So when you enter our home You come down sort of the hallway Into this sort of open gallery And step down what's into our kitchen and TV room So this is our kitchen We sort of designed it to really be about entertaining You know, it's very functional From a regular kitchen perspective We have pantries, fridge You know, dishwasher, range, all of that But what is really special about this kitchen Is that we created these bifold doors That close up when we entertain I'm just going to show you right now And so when we have parties We love to be able to close these doors And actually close off the sort of guts And the ugly bits of the kitchen And that's so that this acts as more of a backdrop To our island, which serves as a bar Our kitchen island is this really beautiful Topey mushroom kind of marble color We wanted it to really be a big monolithic bar We have a pit range here All of the controls are actually on the backside here So there's, you don't see it But the cool thing about these Is that they go right onto the marble And then we have the sort of vent here By Gaggenau that pops up when we're cooking But it's pretty discreet And lowered when we're not cooking When we entertain We actually, again, we created this We actually have a piece of wood That goes over this range to actually hide it Again, getting rid of like the idea That this is a real kitchen It's actually in the same finish as this millwork As this chocolate brown So when guests come in If we're having a really big cocktail party For, you know, 40, 50, 60 people We'll have a piece of wood covering this With the sort of ice buckets and whatnot And maybe a bartender standing here And then people can kind of come in They can get a drink at the bar AKA the kitchen And then kind of meander on To the rest of the apartment and space But I think it's really nice to entertain Entertaining tips, never serve red wine But, you know, anything goes really I mean, we try to always do a full bar When we entertain So that people can, you know, have their own selection Of whatever they want to drink, so We wanted to pick a dark color To really kind of step out as a statement piece I love chocolate brown I feel like it's Chocolate brown for me is like black It's a really beautiful neutral And I think it goes with a lot of things We specifically wanted to highlight the grain So of the wood And we just thought that this sort of dark chocolate brown Would really be a nice, rich, elegant way To elevate the space The light fixture over the island Again was sort of meant to act as Something that's not traditionally found in a kitchen And so we chose this pendant That sort of reads as if it might be Over a dining room table, for instance And again, that's sort of to set the stage It's sort of the chocolate brown millwork Is a nice backdrop For such a beautiful sort of fixture That you maybe wouldn't find in a typical kitchen Yeah, when we first saw the apartment It was, as I said, very raw And very sort of industrial There was an artist that was living here It was his sort of New York live-work space And so there was big vents Going out through the transom windows To get all the fumes out of the apartment And, you know, paint on the columns And, you know, there was It was pretty much one big empty space There was one big glass wall Made of those, like, 1970s glass bricks That basically divided the bathroom From the living space But there was really no doors So it was very much like this, like, loft space Like very much like a bed in the corner And a sofa up at the front by the windows And it was just, like, very raw We actually lived in the apartment For close to 2 years While we were figuring out What we wanted to do with it It felt like we were going back To, like, college living Like it was like, it was like We didn't have any furniture yet And it felt like this very big echoey space That, you know, hadn't been touched Since the 1980s This is not a really large space But we wanted to really make sure That the TV area was close to the kitchen And what we really did was just kind of It was not a very wide space You can see We just wanted to be able to sit close We have a small TV We're not huge TV people So it wasn't as important to us But what was important to us Was that it sort of still felt Sophisticated and still felt elevated Again, when we entertain This isn't a separate area Where people can sit And just talk to one another This is a vintage Guillermin and Chambron cabinet From the 1970s They did a lot of really beautiful Sort of oak pieces like this This one in particular Is a little bit unique Because of the integrated table lamp But his stuff is amazing And we thought it was a nice way To sort of ground this whole elevation So we chose to actually go With silk rugs in the space One of our sort of We definitely knew We wanted to have an elegant Elevated space for entertaining And what I love to do Is sort of play on textures I love the fact that a silk rug Adds a shine And I think that's really important In a sophisticated, elegant space This is like a dark olive green rug That we chose for this area It's, you can see It's all like, you know The step marks on it From where your shoes are But we just loved it It sort of acted as a nice Sort of neutral to ground this area What I loved was We actually ended up purchasing This beautiful artwork That has a mint green background Which I thought worked really well With the olive green rug And so, you know, a little bit of green A little bit of cinnamon in this area This is the most colorful area of the home But a lot of people would say It's not even that colorful, so I think the dark millwork Adds like a grounding feature To our apartment Our concept really was to Have these old, old world Sort of applied moldings to the wall That sort of helped solidify That fact of, hey, this might Might have felt like it was in Madrid or Paris With the beautiful French doors So from the exterior shell of the apartment Has all these beautiful Sort of more traditional elements The more solid elements of the millwork Kind of ground the middle of the apartment So all of the dark millwork Is super modern It's super sort of sleek In contrast to the very traditional Applied moldings And the whole center of the apartment Is sort of like that So I think the dark color Really helps ground the whole apartment I think it's important to live in a space Before you design it if you can One of the things that we love About this apartment Is that we face east And so we love waking up to the sun That's important to us And knowing how that sun Hits the space and changes Throughout the day Was actually really important For us to live here To understand that And sort of when we came to designing The layout and the materials And the finishes We sort of took that Into consideration You know we have a sofa here That completely faces the French doors Just to capture that view So I think it's actually important To sort of live in a space And see how you navigate around it See what parts you like What parts you don't like The footprint of this apartment Was very different to what it is now As I said it was sort of One big open space So it was interesting To sort of carve out different rooms And try to figure out Like spatially Where we wanted things to be So that was kind of fun as well So after you walk Sort of through the TV room And the kitchen You enter into the sort of The really big living And main entertaining space So this is a combination Of dining room We have a living room And bar as well It feels like home When it's just the two of us But it's ample seating For cocktail parties For dinner parties Again the sort of dark millwork Wraps around And continues to follow Throughout the whole apartment The chair is a topic I don't know that my husband Loves the chair I think he thinks it's cool And it looks amazing And it does It is pretty comfortable What I love to do Is actually just surprise sometimes With some really unique Pieces of furniture This is one of those Sculptural pieces of furniture That you know It's not the chair That you want to sit in everyday But it's fun to have As an extra sort of chair When you entertain And Chester likes it too Chester is our Six year old Norfolk Terrier And he wants to say hi to everyone He said hi Hi bud Our house is dog friendly Our dog is one of the We let our dog Onto all of the furniture And he's basically a little human So there's no real restrictions From that perspective Although we do have a dog gate But that's because We like to contain him a little bit We're often asked to do A lot of projects That have pet friendly fabrics And durable materials And things like that So it's definitely something We took into consideration In this apartment And used outdoor performance fabrics Where we could And scotch guarded things And yeah like you know We have a silk area rug In our living room that's white You know it'll get dirty But my sort of motto is that Homes are meant to be lived in And accidents happen But we're really not Super concerned with Chester I don't know if you can See him on camera But he's right here So next room is our dining room We actually This was the very first Piece of furniture That we bought for the apartment And sat in storage For like two years While we were doing the renovations But this is a table That we got from a gallery in Madrid And it's this really cool Boomerang shape Made out of two different stones And two different tables That technically don't touch There's like an inch And a half gap In between the tables But ironically What we ended up Taking from this table Was this whole boomerang shape That's sort of repeated Throughout the apartment It's repeated in Sort of the shape of the chandelier The boomerang shape Is kind of repeated In the chair That I just got up from There's like little boomerang That sort of angle In the sort of stone knobs Of the vintage furniture So it's that sort of Very subtle boomerang shape That we kind of actually Took as a jumping off perspective For the rest of the apartment So this piece is by A guy named Damien Gurney He's repped at a gallery Down in Miami Called A-Bar Gallery Who we buy from quite a bit It's actually glass It looks like metal But it's actually Molded glass And we just Absolutely love it Chandelier is by Apparatus Studio Covered in suede The ceramic on the table We just bought in On a trip to Palm Springs The other vintage thing Is these chairs These are vintage leather chairs From the 60s So it's chrome and leather And I think it really Adds a nice contrast To the really Modern dining table And the really Modern artwork So that boomerang motif Is kind of represented In even this table In the sort of shape it is Where we have displayed Not so discreetly Articles where we've been Featured in In press and print But one of the things That we actually Really do a lot of With our firm Is we really study Dimensions and proportion Like any designer does But we really hone Into the details Of how much space there is In between the sofa And the coffee table And how far away The chairs are from that And I think One of the reasons I like this living room And I think it's Successfully designed Is because there's Actually a lot of movement And a lot of egress And a lot of space So when we are entertaining We have, you know People sitting here My husband might be Making drinks at the bar Behind us And I'm sitting over there And there's enough space Chester's also sitting with me There's enough space To kind of move around And nothing feels too cramped And too tight From that perspective So one of the cool things That we also, again Thinking of entertaining When we were designing This apartment When we entertain for people That we don't really know And we don't want to see What's behind here Which is our primary bedroom We'll get to in a moment We actually created These beautiful doors That shut very discreetly That sort of mimics The same design As the French doors So it kind of reflects And makes it look as if The balcony outside Keeps going on forever Similarly on this side There's a little sort of Secret millwork door That we can shut When we don't want Guests that we don't know that well To sort of walk into Our primary bedroom But this shuts as well So that this really becomes The public space And our private spaces Stay private We've had a couple Big parties here Our biggest party I think we've had Was for We had a pride party last year And I think there was Maybe 65 people here Which I was nervous We hadn't ever had That many people In the apartment But actually there was A lot of space People were sitting People were standing People were in the bedroom People were sort of like Kind of everywhere And it was really nice To actually have The sort of apartment Come to life From that perspective It didn't feel cramped It didn't feel crammed And it was a really nice Sort of kinetic energy In the space I have the viewpoint Of my trajection My sort of goals In the industry Are to really just do Really good work I feel like if that's Recognized in publications That's like an added bonus But I really love The connection with people And a lot of our projects Come from referrals Of projects that we've done For friends Of friends of friends That's really important to me Is to sort of Build a business Where people feel really happy About the process And as well as the end result I would love to continue To grow my office From a project perspective We have about Eight or nine projects Going at any one time Which is a lot But I would like to grow That a little bit more And then I also sort of Want to get into Product design a little bit I would love to do Collaborations with vendors I would love to have A wallpaper collection I'd love to have A rug collection Maybe we open a gallery one day My husband's Australian And I say that At one point I would love To end up spending A lot more time in Australia And who knows Maybe I open An outpost office in Sydney So I do have High expectations For our company And where we can go But it's sort of You know put your head down And just do really good work And I think the rest Will fall into place So one of the things That sold us on the apartment Was these really Beautiful French doors Ironically we don't really Go out to the Juliet balcony very much We actually don't use them I think that's probably Just a result of New York City being Really grimy and gross And we don't want that Tracked inside So on this exception today We're gonna take you outside To the balcony We're on Broadway here And it's all the way down south And north One of the things that We love about this apartment Is our view Which is really unique In Soho as well So we're on Broadway here Between Prince and Spring Street And what's really unique On this block is that All of these buildings Across from us Actually go down a level So we have this incredible Very New York City view With lots of water towers And lots of buildings And it's just a really Beautiful part of Why we enjoy this apartment so much I think there's 17 water tanks in total At one point I counted But it's a very New York kind of view Because there's so many water towers We love it I think we have 50 feet Of frontage here I don't think that this Would even meet code today Because the balcony is like so low So it's a little bit scary When you first step out there If you're not used to it It feels like you're gonna topple over Which is a little bit dangerous But not so much Because we don't go out there that much The building's called The Little Singer Building And it's one of the Original historic Cast iron buildings of Soho What's really unique About this building in Soho Is that we have 50 feet Of frontage here With Juliet balconies And I feel like What's really special About this loft And at least this size Of loft in Soho It's, you know We're 2,500 square feet here More or less The other apartments That are sort of that size and scale Are sort of these long, narrow Full floor apartments Where you have four Gigantic, beautiful Windows at the front Of the apartment And four gigantic windows At the back And, you know, 2,500 square feet Of nothing in the middle That you kind of have to carve up Into kitchen and living spaces We love this apartment Because it was sort of More of a square And more of a box So it offered us the opportunity To really do this really long Living room That is sort of Dining room, living room Which turns into our bedroom Rather than having it be The perpendicular Kind of typical orientation Through this door Is our primary suite It's very cocoon-like We upholster the walls In a suede wallpaper Which gives a really Beautiful texture And a sort of warmth to them I custom designed The integrated bedside tables And headboard in bed It's sort of all designed By me and our team In our studio And then what's really cool About this room Is the artwork It's pinned by yours truly It's actually raw linen So I found this Beautiful weaver in France That weaves flax it's called And so I asked her If she could custom dye it A beautiful sort of green color And she thought it was A really fun sort of thing to do So she sent me some samples Of things that she was trying around What colors kind of worked best And so we agreed on this Beautiful olive green color And I asked her to just weave Three yards of it for me So it came on a bolt of fabric And I had a back plate Made for the top of it And then I spent about three hours And just tried to pin it up And kind of a little DIY tapestry artwork But I think the effect Is really beautiful We have the sort of Mono point art lights In the ceiling That shine down on it And flax, raw linen Actually has a little bit Of a shine to it So at night Which you're not seeing right now But at night It's a really beautiful Sort of glow And a beautiful shine To the material Which is really pretty I like to keep our beds Actually pretty simple Our beds meaning This is my own personal bed But in projects I like to keep beds pretty simple We don't tend to do Too many pillows We do custom coverlets Which is what this is Out of a cashmere And then again Doubling down on the whole Texture on texture on texture thing We did a really thick Chunky faux fur blanket It's actually from Restoration hardware Just to kind of add that Extra element of luxe on our bed We knew we wanted a stool At the end of the bed You know, functionality We sit here We put on our socks and shoes This is an iconic butterfly stool Made out of walnut So there are actually Two of them And it's great Just to kind of sit And use So the dresser Is not really anything That special In the sense that There's no sort of fanfare about it We wanted a dark Sort of simple dresser I think again Just to kind of Keep the room weighted But also to kind of Mimic that like Everything is pretty simple It's a very sort of Cocoon-like room Like this is our sanctuary And this is the sleeping room So we didn't really want to make Too much out of it The Hunt Sloman painting Is a gift from Really great friends of ours It was a wedding gift When we got married And we love waking up To see it every day One of the things That we love about this apartment Is that there's all these Really amazing little Hidden nooks and crannies One of which is We joke around Is our dog special closet So you can see here We have a little jib door That's covered in the same Suede wallpaper But it opens up to reveal Extra dog toys Bookkeeping things And whatnot Just a little extra closet For us But you would never Really notice that If you didn't know It was there The light fixture We actually found It looks like It's a vintage Murano fixture But it's actually Contemporary Murano glass So it came from Italy There's I don't know How many leaves Like 25 independent leaves That are all sort of Connected by the Little brass fittings We loved it actually That was ironically One of the more Difficult decisions From a design perspective I wasn't sold on it My husband loved it And I sort of went Back and forth in my mind Before we installed it Wondering whether or not It was going to be The right fit But I actually love it I think it's really It makes the room I actually came to design A little bit later in life I had worked for many years In hospitality in New York City So I had sort of A different career Before I even got To interior design But I ended up In interior design I went back to school At Parsons for design Maybe when I was 26 years old 27 years old Which was great And I sort of started Working for a few Different designers Here in New York And sort of just kind of Navigated the design world Like learning from Some of the best AD 100 designers And some of the best Designers in the industry I ultimately started My own company About 5 years ago And we work on projects You know geographically In New York Because we're here So we do lots of Apartments in the city We have a few projects In the Hamptons Always going on And we work up In the Hudson Valley Quite a bit My husband and I Have a weekend place up there And so we've created A little bit of a community And a networking up there So we work in the Hudson Valley Which I think is wonderful It's a very different vibe From New York And then we do Sort of work Wherever it takes us We just wrapped up A beautiful project In Palm Springs, California Of a mid-century modern house Which was fun to work on Currently we have Some really fun things Going on in the city here We have the penthouse Of the new Georgia Armani building That's being built On 65th and Madison So that's been A really fun project To sort of get off the ground And then a couple Fun projects We have a loft In Brooklyn In Red Hook That we've been working on For a really cool client So a lot of things Going on at the moment So you walk from The primary bedroom Straight into our closet Which then turns Into our bathroom Again just to double down On all the little secret Nooks and crannies This is a little Secret compartment For all of our luggage And where we kind of House everything When I open this door Our dog knows That we're travelling And he starts going mad crazy Because he knows We're going to be travelling So he doesn't like When this door gets opened Very much And then it gets hidden Even again by this So you walk right through this To our closets It's a his and his closet Everything is split down The middle and even So my side, my husband's side We have lots of short hanging For our suit jackets And blazers and pants And stuff like that Lots of shoe storage And then we even I'll show you a little secret We have great little Jewelry drawers We have little compartments For everything You could possibly imagine I don't know who Spends more time in here I think we both We both enjoy clothing and fashion I think we like the way That we feel when you're Dressed really nicely I don't think either one of us Spends too much We're not fussy people It doesn't take us too long To get dressed in the morning So from our primary bedroom You actually have to walk Through this closet To get to our primary bathroom As I sort of said before When we sort of Took over the apartment It was more or less One big space And so we had to Sort of carve out The different rooms And the bathrooms And where the kitchen was And all of that One of which was this space And how much space We needed to allocate Towards our closets So this was all Custom designed by myself And sort of figuring out How many shoes We wanted to display You know we have Pull out drawers for laundry We have telescoping rods For you know When dry cleaning comes Back from the dry cleaners We can hang everything up When you're getting ready So all these sort of Little details Are what we love to do In our projects As much as in my own Personal home Because they're really It's a real functioning Kind of closet My favorite thing About this house Is my shower I just love it It's all gray travertine And it's very masculine It's very like It's lit with LED lights It's very beautiful space And I feel like We travel a lot We are all over the place And we stay at nice hotels And that have nice showers But every time I'm always like I can't wait to get home And get to our own shower I just love our bathroom And our shower But I also really just love All the colors That we've done here Or the lack of colors That we've done here Because there's not that many People would say We don't do any color But it's a lot of Chocolate browns and neutrals And to me That's a very calming Type of environment To be in, right Like I feel like There's not that much stimulus Other than texture And you know The feel of a beautiful mohair Or something like that So for us It's a very calming space And I love that We've been able to sort of Achieve that calming aspect To our home Because New York City Is a busy city I mean we're always busy We're always out and about We work really hard But it's nice to come home To a space That feels very comforting From the closet We go straight into Our primary bathroom Which is probably My favorite part of the house So we have The water closet here We have linen storage And extra toiletries and towels It's a little messy I'm not going to show you in there And then we have Double vanities That kind of flank Either side of this door Which is the glass door That goes into our shower Which I love So there's actually Two shower heads A big beautiful niche in the back To sort of have your shampoos And whatnot And then What I really love About the bathroom Is this Slim Aarons photograph So this actually Means a lot to us My husband and I got married On the back of a boat In Lake Como And we got married On the back of a Riva boat Which is what's photographed here A 1964 Riva So we sort of saw this By Slim Aarons And sort of had to have it And we even It even had the same Baby blue leather That our boat had So every time We sort of see this It reminds me of our wedding And you know How special that was for us You know We have a big bench Under the artwork For no real reason Other than to just Again sit on We throw our clothes on here Extra towels And all that kind of stuff And then we have A heated towel bar Which is just It's just luxury I just love it It's nice to have A sort of a warm towel When you get out of the shower So you know These are hot And they keep your towel Pretty warm We have all sort of Little secret nooks and crannies You know One of the things That we actually do In our own projects And renovations Is to make sure that Vanities have electrical In the back of them To be able to You know Have your blow dryers Or anything That you want Plugged in So that you're not always like You know It's one of my pet peeves When you go to a hotel And you always have to Plug in the blow dryer And whatnot So we try to think of those Sort of luxury details For people When designing bathrooms So that they don't have to You know It's a really easy Kind of Getting ready routine I guess in the morning You know We have medicine cabinets Integrated into the wall And what I think Is really beautiful about The most beautiful thing About this bathroom Is the stone that we chose For the shower and vanities It's this beautiful Grey travertine You know It's a very masculine stone It's a really beautiful stone And I think it just adds That level of warmth That we love about Being in this space What's also really unique About this bathroom Is we have a mirrored What looks to be A mirrored portion of the wall But it's actually a secret door That goes to the entryway We actually had to have this door For egress and code purposes But it actually works a lot When I get up in the morning And take the dog out For his walk I come straight from our bedroom Through the closet and bathroom Straight out the front door So this leads to our entryway And this entryway Sort of sets the tone For the whole apartment, right? From a material perspective From a design perspective I feel like it sort of Touches all those notes Here we have artwork I don't know We have terrazzo floors It just feels very sort of Like the terrazzo nods to Italy And that European feel But in a very contemporary way All of the dark millwork Sets the tone For what you're going to see In the rest of the apartment As well as the sort of Applied moldings And the detailing there So it sort of hits All of those architectural And design notes Right here in the entryway So one design trick That I would love to share Is I have a few One is always picking The right color temperature lights You know, 2700 Kelvin Is a really soft, warm light Anything higher than that Like 3000 Tends to be a bit of a cold I think for residential spaces 2700 is a beautiful temperature To pick We always try to like When designing Especially when you're designing A space from scratch In your building We try to think about How everyone How our clients Use the spaces Or at least anticipate Using the spaces So we hone into the details Of like are they The kind of people They come in And they like to Throw their keys In the wallet somewhere Which is why we have This little secret drawer Here for us Because it's something We don't like to see I don't want to have it out So I have a little Secret drawer for that So finding little spaces For all your needs Is really important What does home mean to me? Home to me Is where you're most comfortable And it's really where You can just kick back and relax And I think that's really fun To design spaces For not only myself But for other people That spaces can be multi things Right? Like this, our home Is meant for entertaining Because we love entertaining But at the same time It is the most comfortable place To just kick up our feet And watch Netflix And so I think home Is where you're most comfortable Thanks for watching Go to homeworthy.com For exclusive content And shopping guides
