Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber Reveal Their Renovated New York City Apartment | Architectural Digest

- Actors Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are best known for their big-screen roles, red-carpet appearances, and awards-show cameos. But in their downtime, the A-list couple retreats to a recently updated apartment in Tribeca, one of Manhattan’s most fashionable neighborhoods. After a ten-month renovation by the design firm Ashe + Leandro, with whom Watts worked closely throughout the process, the light-filled home displays elements of three archetypal New York City layouts: a stately townhouse, an uptown duplex, and a classic loft. The combination results in what the actress calls “a real grown-up apartment,” with all of the character that comes with it, from the beveled-glass kitchen cabinetry and book-lined built-ins to the dramatic archway in the entry. Rustic elements blend with softer, more graceful additions to create an eclectic look that is at once stylish and comfortable-a place where the Watts-Schreiber clan can put family first and unwind between cross-country trips.
Fifteen years ago, when the British-born, Australian-raised Watts’s career was starting to blossom and she was looking for a toehold in New York City, she bought an apartment in the Financial District after seeing it once.
Black-and-white floor tiles by Clé provide a graphic welcome at the Manhattan duplex apartment that actors Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber share with their two sons; the interiors were designed by the firm Ashe + Leandro. The entrance hall’s pendant light is by Ralph Lauren Home, the 19th-century shell-back chairs are from KRB, and the painting in the stairway is by Harland Miller.
She settled in Los Angeles, where she built her career in movies ranging from Mulholland Drive to 21 Grams to King Kong to last year’s Academy Award winner for best picture, Birdman. “But then I met Mr. New York,” she says, “and everything changed.” Mr. New York, of course, is Liev Schreiber, acclaimed for playing hardened, complex characters in films such as Spotlight and on the Showtime series Ray Donovan.
Like so many New Yorkers, however, they soon found themselves desiring a certain precious commodity.
While Watts remarks that “with New York real estate, you never get everything you want,” she and Schreiber were able to create a duplex from two separate units-one had been an artist’s loft-checking off most of the boxes on their wish list. Then, shortly after they closed the deal, Hurricane Sandy struck, and the building, near the Hudson River, was flooded. For months they couldn’t enter the property, proving another rule of New York real estate: It will test you, constantly asking, How badly do you want to live here?
When the couple finally got back in, the place was a mess. After taking time to weigh options, they hired an architect but changed course several months later. Two years into owning the home, it was raw space. “One thing I’ve learned,” Watts says, “is when it comes to big renovations, no one gets an easy ride.” Ultimately they enlisted Ariel Ashe and Reinaldo Leandro, the duo behind the firm Ashe + Leandro, to design the interiors.
A Ralph Lauren Home light fixture illuminates the master bath’s Victoria + Albert tub, which has Dornbracht fittings; the mirror and chair are antique, and the penny tile is by Waterworks.
Images by Watts’s brother, photographer Ben Watts, are displayed above RH Baby & Child beds in the boys’ room; the pillowcases are by Ralph Lauren Home, the sconces are by Atelier de Troupe, the nightstand is by Room & Board, and the antique kilim is from Double Knot.
Walking through the home, it’s hard to imagine that Watts and Schreiber had to compromise on anything. Instead it feels as if they got a rare trifecta: an apartment that elegantly combines features of three archetypal New York homes. The entranceway gives you the intimate, welcoming feeling of a historic townhouse, while the sweeping sculptural staircase evokes the drama of a stately uptown duplex, and the open yet private layout of the second floor has the urbanity of a classic loft. Throughout, robust design elements are balanced with graceful, softer gestures, whether the jewelry-like lights suspended above the brawny dining table or the floral curtains whimsically offsetting the master bedroom’s masculine blues. Indeed, the home seems to mirror the union of the broad-shouldered, intense Schreiber and the delicately luminous Watts.

I get so excited when I find another AD video I haven’t seen before. I just wonder why the owner’s sometimes sit and give and interview instead of a walk through? 🤷🏽♀️
I wish AD could do some features on shall we say lower wattage/ less known performing artists and how they they 've put together /i. decorated their rental spaces ... and beyond NYC and LA , showing homes and apt in other states/districts and countries more often
yeah. its so easy to pay someone to design your home when you're rich. it takes creativity when you're not.
Yeah.....what’s with the celebrity thing? I just don’t get it.
LOVE the decor. Simple, modern, colorful. Perfect. But I didn't see a railing on the second floor. Glass?
Such a shame their marriage didn’t work.. love them both
Naomi Watts is quite nice in person. I have talked to her and she is nice and polite. In the featured decor here, the living room looks great.
I love her so much... She is adorable !
She s so lovely, and love when she saids Its a grown up home... lol...
everyone looks so happy in the pictures! What happened?
He found a younger one
no way!
That’s show business!
carig121 she's so lovely tho 😞
Things aren’t always as they seem!
More visuals of the appartment, less chat would have been nice.
Luv her accent
Ditto.
What a beautiful house....love it
where is Liev ???
we're a block away from the wuuuttaaa
or the American pronunciation Waar-der
wakarimasen71 wah-ter
American: wah-terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
indian pronunciation screws it up the best: waaaattarrrrrrrrr.
What a warm and cozy apartment. Perfect for a small family. Nothing like the big pretentious mansions of other "celebrities".
niki don it's in Tribeca! Have you any idea about the price of the land? Every rich actor wants a house there. With the same money in Los Angeles she could buy a super house with a swimming pool. You are paying the location, that's it! The rest is ordinary interior design.
Mais ferme ta gueule !
@@giuseppenativo2123
Mais ferme ta gueule!
Naomi Watts seems to be getting younger.
the background music :(
Telling everyone what district her family lives in? I'm not sure that's a great plan. Lovely home; this lady has very good taste!
I think her certain elements of her apartment are lovely but, it’s nothing to write home about. But, what’s with her references to adulthood? “I’m a adult. This is an adult apartment.” News flash... Naomi you were 48 years old in 2016 and now you’re 52... I hate to break it to you’ve been an “Adult” for a very long time already.
Esplêndido !!
Retorno de uma carreira bem sucedida !🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful!
you are my sister
gorgeous home and family!
i thought they broke up?? or are they back together??
Such a beautiful couple.
And where is Liev??
i love it! so, when can i move in? lol
Beautiful and the house isn't bad either.
would have been nice to really see it instead of just hear her talk about it.
Ok, where’s Liev?
So, just still pictures.
Strange
Naomi uma excelente Atriz.
Em.O Despertar de uma Paixão está perfeita.
what's the point of 2 sofas back to back?
Where’s the cleaner, big job.
Beautiful! love Naomi
Is Mr. Donovan here?
She is the living embodiment of perfection.
I'd rather say of femininity and vulnerability! But these two things combined do spell 'perfection'.
i thought these two broke up?? or are they back together??
Would have been nice to actually SEE it.
Literally didn't see any of their home
I see Naomi Watts, I click😍
The only reason I tuned in was to see Liev. Where's Liev?
Who the heck is she??
Interesting. HER apartment?
just in time for the divorce...
lol
the green man sad. Probably why he wasn't there for the interview
did she divorce?
moonbeeps - they never married
But they did split just as if they had been married! The pain's real! If only it couldn't have been.
Is this a style piece or a music video? I had to cut it off because the music is so intrusive, not to mention ear-achingly awful.
Had no idea she was British
British-Australian to be exact.
I love it!
This is the girl
Amazing
tribeca is family oriented...lmao, no where in nyc is family oriented. place is a hell hole
Hi
She is 51??
Noooo!!! The other apartment was beautiful!!!!this one is so cold!
Great deal Naomi!!
"we'll renovate your pad for free if you do this quick video for AD daaahlling!"
what a lame walkthrough.
it wasnt EVEN a "walkthrough".
Waaaaaaaaaaaatts up!! - Billy Bush circa 2004
I wish I was rich :(
You'd still be you ... just as now you are whatever you are but on a low budget
Poor Naomi, just got the luxury apartment of her dreams only to lose her hubby. Aww, so sad ...
I just love this minority !!!
These people speak with forked tongue.
She’s English. She hated him. She wanted to take over.
Based on my experience, yes I think English has that sort of trait at least a little bit in them.
English-Australian to be more precise.
What is it about certain people who feel the need to flaunt? Rich, privileged celebrities who - before they became famous could very well have lived modest lives just like the rest of us - display and exhibit their private wealth to the entire world? I guess they got paid a lot from Architectural Digest for doing so. In any case, I hope that in the post-COVID 19 life, there'll be more mindfulness and less flaunting of one's wealth. It's tacky. Oh, and they got divorced, Naomi and Liev. So this life and this Tribeca apartment? No longer.
Why do they all say the same thing: It's impressive but it's not imposing, or something like that. clones.
im gonna marry her kid so i can inherit this house
No can do! But you can always apply for the job of a house cleaner to actually be daily inside the apartment for a few hours during which you're free to imagine it's yours--whatever makes you clean it with more efficiency and speed! Good luck
was alwys flabbergasted dat she a star
teenie beenie why
She's so talented
She's not necessarily 'popular' as Kim K. but she's a top actress or a movie star! I'm flabbergasted you actually know the word (flabbergasted)! Must have learned it when you saw the 'movie' that launched KK to 'stardom'!!
Kardashians on the cover ... ouch
The amount of work to make it look so average is a borderline super power. Not seeing any style per se, but a more of super bland beige kinda vibe. I think the interior designers should rename to MEH!
NW lost her australian accent?
Not that I know of.
King Kong lady
This vid shouts he left me
Not fancy? Umm ok
Sadly they seperated the same year
Cyril TV As there is also a tour of Liev‘s apartment, which he had for 20 years, they seemed to live separated way before the split!?🤔
What kind of life was that? She could have fared so much better in the love department! Not necessarily with an American or an actor, for that matter!
Arnt they like divorced ?
Gota get that black/white floor in there! (Illuminati) what a shame!!
Oh for peace sake, not everything is some damn conspiracy. Checkered floors are nothing new. Should we all throw our chess sets away, or get rid of our Nascar jackets just bc they're checkered. Geez Louise!
I hear she has an absolutely crazy temper.
seriously? like how? she is marring billy crudup anyway
@@parinaz1991 there were multiple stories of blind, screaming rages she went on in public.
@@NemeanLion- actually never saw any of these you mentioned on the net.!!
ah, being rich! how ironic that acting is the easiest and stupidest career, yet, it is one that pays the most. No wonder so many people are after fame.
Not impressed. Lots of money. Moderate taste.
Well, show us yours! If you've got any taste it should show even if with no money!
says a nobody
Girl ,you're delusional, you obviously haven't seen many homes in NYC. It does feel grand...
The Royal Arch of Baal
Just goes to show that a house does not make a home.
Frick.... where are all the real people
Always pleased to see how the over paid live wonder how they would like to have a normal home
It just seem like a designer interior for a magazine shoot, without anyone living there. Dead and hollow.
So would your crib look like if you tidied it up ... I can assure you that her 'designer interior' looks quite livable at certain moments
Whatever . 😂😜🤑
Divorced
Must be nice
usadrones Google
The gabby pyramid prenatally hop because bagpipe positionally skip versus a clever beam. scintillating, elated shield
:(
yeah, if I ever had that kind of money and lived in that place, Id set it on fire, and rather buy a home that looks like humans could live in and not robots, its an appalling and cold hearted looking house
I'm sure you'd swap it for a coyote den! Oh wait, no! You've already got one-- nice hole, Juan!
Exactement !
Why is she putting on a british accent?
kellahan vaoa She's AUSTRALIAN
she's british she just lived in Australia which is why her accent is kind of british and kind of australian
***** Not true - not anymore!
Satya G she's an Aussie
There are various types of Aussie accents and hers is more refined than others. Even though she was born in Britain she considers herself more Australian as she lived here for a long period of time
I LIKE TRUMP 2Q2Q
yes, you are 50 years old, get over it
They both had crappy upbringings.
Yes, I should be commenting on the apartment but WTF did Naomi do to her face!?
allykatt1849 nothing, Naomi is one of the very few actresses that hasn't had surgery or uses fillers or Botox! Also AD uses very very soft lenses on their cameras.
it's the lens and also she use very soft colour lipstick so it makes her more pale, other than that i believe Naomi is very original
No need to live in such a lavage apartment if you care about the illegal immigrants so much why not share with them instead of expecting the middle class to take care of them. Show business people are such hypocrites
