AD At Home: Architectural Digest

As editor-in-chief, Amy Astley has reinvented AD and influenced the entire interior design world by putting people at the center. For her, the home is not just about aesthetics, but about personalities, lifestyles and the stories behind the rooms. This book gathers her favorite features from the past decade — homes, interiors and environments created by some of the most creative and influential people of our time.

Under Astley’s leadership AD has become more relevant and diverse than ever, with a breadth of styles and expressions that shows there are countless ways to create a beautiful home. Here are original interiors that reflect the owners’ creativity and individuality, from art-filled city apartments and classic townhouses to country estates and tropical retreats.

The book moves between fashion, music, film, art and design and takes the reader into the homes of personalities from around the world. We get a closer look at Dakota Johnson’s relaxed mid-century home in Los Angeles, Shonda Rhimes’s elegant New York apartment, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz’s art-filled, modern residence. Also featured among the many inspiring environments are artist Mariko Mori’s minimalist white pod on a Japanese island and RuPaul’s expressive villa in Los Angeles.

With striking photographs by AD’s top photographers and in-depth texts by Astley and the editorial team, this is a tribute to personal style, creativity and homes that reflect the people who live in them.
