One flat for 30 years...only added on...crazy great! So much to look at - will have to watch over and over! Beautiful. I'd love to see a floor plan! One of the best moments was when he said "Give me advance notice because we get quite booked up!" Just darling! He is so charming and elegant like his interiors! I want to touch all the textiles! BTW...I love London!

Alidad has the elements of opulence! A period home fit for a King and Queen with all the bells and whistles to draw you in and keep you in awe. I love the traditional mixed with the modern and the whimsy of the past gives the home a feeling of cozy. I can tell Alidad is OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) where placement and objects have to be exact and symmetrical in nature. This is a condition of brilliance and to be so gifted allows one to layer beyond mere decorating.

If anyone is looking for good advice about creating a living space for themselves: listen to Mr. Alidad! He knows what he's talking about. I grew up in a house that was occupied by four generations of my family over a period of 57 years and there were items and furniture going back even further. I like the idea of being in one place for a long time and settling in. I was looking through the April 1994 Architectural Digest which is a "Hollywood at Home" issue with LOTS of fascinating reading and photos. Mae West was another who stayed put: she lived in the same two-bedroom apartment for 48 years. Her style was...interesting...and included the mirror over her bed "...where I do my best work". I don't think Mr. Alidad would go for the West style but I'm sure he would appreciate someone else being in their own place for a long time and making it their own unique, individual home.

@@quintessenceblg I'm going to add on a little more here. I wanted to mention a book I'm reading that may be of interest to you if you're not already familiar with it. The book is "Alone Together---A History of New York's Early Apartments" by Elizabeth Collins Cromley published by Cornell University Press in 1990. The book is about how in Manhattan there was such a great need for affordable middle-class housing in the 1800's and how purpose-built apartment houses were introduced. The book is also about how American society had to adjust to something new and that some people even found risky or threatening: a family not living in their own separate and the fear that a family could be harmed by being too much around other people and from not having as much work to do. "Alone Together" is what I would call a History/Sociology book; not fast reading but very informative and that gives historical context and understanding to how many people now live.

I can't believe out of all the videos I have watched I pick and chose elements that I like but this designer has a flow like none of the others. His spaces breathe with life even though there are many objects.

I always look forward to seeing different people's homes. It's so delightful! I also really love the music that is in the beginning and end of these video clips. It makes me feel very joyous. It makes me feel like I'm soaring. Fantastic 😁 Renee from California

Alidad’s designs are acutely interesting, rich in color and abound with multidimensional detail. I can imagine that his design lectures leave one with new insights and the inspiration to step forward in creating their own projects.

Such stunning art on his walls @quintessence ! Just delicious interior design eye candy everywhere you look! Incredible layering makes for a stunning place to be in - what an experience for you this must have been! Don't even get me going on those utterly-stunning hand-painted walls! ( 💋 Leah )

Jib doors are amazing, preserving the symmetry of the room while maintaining access to on off balanced entrance, like his red room, with the jib door hidden on the left. His design is so well mastered.

That dining room is fabulous! I am mindblown with the leather wall covering...like, how? why? If I win the lottery I am sooo copying it. Can you tell us more about the metal grill things with upholstered tops in front of the fireplace? Are those seats? Its been a while since I've seen middle-eastern/ottoman inspired interiors featured anywhere. Though I'm not opposed to white rooms, my gripe is that they're just everywhere nowadays. Thank you Quintessence for featuring another interesting home and designer.

They are called club fenders and add space saving extra seating for cozy conversation!

what a talent, and what an eye for the exquisite. i began following his work last year and studying his outstanding interiors and his taste in decor. he is absolutely one of my three favorite interior design professionals. i am amazed w/ his ability to mix and layer and how he handles breaking the traditional rules of interior design. if it ever works out, i will have a similar diningroom, as pictured and presented in this vid, and i shall have him do my livingroom, study, and bedroom. i might never leave my diningroom, should i get the leather motif. one just has to appreciate, respect and adore professionals such as him. wonderful.

I've seen this apartment time and time again in photographs in magazines and I have never "got it" like I have with you two in the space. It being filmed neutrally and sensitively without oversaturated colours is important.
