I do love these videos, but my God, the gap between the haves and the have nots.

[@nancykahn4125]

Light and art...

[@azurieone3002]

Beautiful home!!

[@mireille1594]

Disgusting art featuring a mass murderer!

[@rewa118]

Can Someone please tell me whose portrait it is in the living room?!

[@lsamoa]

Mao

[@tempusnon2157]

Twomblys and Gustons. What a life to live

[@samuelalvarez9377]

Rip Mr. Rogers

[@christanne1]

I would love to be surrounded by such incredible artwork. That Guston is sensational. Difficult to believe that this gigantic space is in Chelsea.

[@everythingisupsidedown9593]

Great to see the chap that has advocated the most for high density living prefers, in his own words: "Space, space, space! The luxury of life is space".

[@tranzco1173]

Space for him, austere cramped hovels for the unwashed masses. I

[@natedornbirer]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha This series is basically, rich architects that advocate for simple, sustainable living, but live in the most complicated and unmaintable properties. Love the series, but leez be real. Ya'll are loaded and have staff.

[@exodusvelo]

Architects are huge hypocrits. I am architect and I have been studying and working with architects for 20 years, I know what I am talking about.

[@georgek3261]

And what he was supposed to do? Live in a small home bacause other people can't afford something more than a small home?

[@everythingisupsidedown9593]

@@georgek3261 he can tell the truth 'space metters' and advocate for big homes not the tiny 'compact' ones he advocates for, written books on and been in a government job pushing such? Pretty straight forward Georgebiy

[@MAWYOGI]

One of most beautiful and inspiring homes I've ever come across. And such lovely people living in it.
I'm in absolute awe of all the masterpieces you at NOWNESS create for us all. And incredibly grateful🙏😊🙏

[@imianco8079]

real people with talent living styled and curated.. thank you for the inspiration!!

[@Beekiddo1808]

looks like a modern museum!

[@1hayes1]

The Gustons. How many can one couple have?

[@Carducci1959]

Space, volume is definitely a luxury, especially in London, but too cold and austere for my taste, and sooner or later those stairs will present a real problem for an elderly couple.

[@mdfwndmx3146]

His art collection is insane

[@HypoliteMaindron]

Matt Wallbridge like the Phillip Guston

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

It reminds me of Jane Fonda. Who of course has the quadruple Andy Warhol of herself in the living room. That's life goals, not only having a Warhol, but one depicting yourself. Rogers still have to reach that goal...

[@architecclp2647]

his book collection too

[@Rascallucci]

I have always dug volume. Nothing beats double or even triple height space. That feeling of openness it gives you is unbeatable.

[@Pfukr]

Where in the house is the spiral staircase shown at the beginning?

[@jeffreyrichardson]

Sotheby"s

[@drzavahercegbosnaponosna5974]

what a STUPID staircase !! never ending climbing to the sky ... yet, good for your health mr. rogers. ;-))

[@patrickbell4314]

I love to see where and how people choose to live vs those who have few choices in where and how they live.

[@existenze69]

An immaculate living space...flawless architecture! Feels more "homey" than many other cluttered interiors that are so-called 'closer to nature'...the irony.

[@freebornjohn6876]

If you say so.

[@existenze69]

@@freebornjohn6876 I do.

[@zikaeziagulu1]

His art collection!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@negoco4393]

Too short. I can't feel the real Richard Rogers steel and glass - his own house.

[@gmart225]

nice office

[@mgoskay]

Beautiful,love this episode

[@MMAFIGHTCLUB11]

great spirit.and handsome.

[@exodusvelo]

the andy warhol thing from mao zetung, that thing can be sold for millions and millions. Now, it could not be uglier. Having to see such and ugly and huge thing, every single day of your live in your living room. How sad.
Such a big deception that the guy who made the pompidu in paris (copying it from cedric price of course, maybe that explains a lot of it) lives in such a boring, simplistic and dull house.

[@frederickthompson2697]

Well, it's a tad late, having just come onto this video, but I was immediately turned off by the off-putting 'musical background' which does nothing to enhance the beauty of this space or the lives of those who inhabit it. Surely there were more appropriate choices that one might have made? Quel dommage. F.

[@exodusvelo]

I think the music is perfect for the house. Bad music for a bad house. Dull musci for a dull house. Perfect match. No complaints to who ever chose the track. perfect.

[@raghureddy9620]

Space space space😄👍

[@maddscientist3170]

minimal

[@mathias_griffiths]

great art taste

[@missmasonya3131]

Can u retire this house to me 😉

[@MegaConsideration1st.]

😍

[@anbernika]

super

[@hsghatora]

Nice

[@prashanthb6521]

Matthew Donaldson, please show more of the house.
Just few fancy panning moves of camera is not good cinematography.

[@MassiveChetBakerFan]

Hopefully the future owner of this historic Georgian house will undo the vandalism wreaked on its interior.
