Inside Robert Downey Jr.’s Windmill Home in the Hamptons | Open Door | Architectural Digest

- In this episode of Open Door, Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, Avengers) and wife Susan Downey turned a converted windmill into a stylish and charming Hamptons home. In this funny, full-access house tour, the Downeys show off their favorite art, let you into their closets and explain why their cats have full run of the place.
"We wanted something we haven’t seen a million times,” the Iron Man star says, describing the property itself as well as the decorative ministrations of AD100 designer Joe Nahem and the team at New York City-based Fox-Nahem Associates.
The Downeys originally met Nahem two summers ago, when they rented the heavenly Amagansett country house the designer shares with his partner, Jeffrey Fields.
The Downeys said goodbye to Nahem and Fields that summer with a request that the designers alert them to any particularly enticing properties coming onto the market in the Hamptons. Several months later, Nahem found a place that more than fit the bill: a late-19th century windmill folly, originally constructed as a playhouse, that had been transformed into a full-fledged residence by way of structural additions grafted onto the building in the decades following its construction. Among the many attributes of the estate were proximity to the town of East Hampton coupled with the privacy of a secluded location, enchanting gardens conjured by landscape designer Joseph Tyree for the home’s previous owners, and those sublime trees that dot the lawns like masterpieces of sculpture.
Nahem didn’t have much time to revel in the triumph of his matchmaking. As soon as his clients acquired the property, they gave their designer a mere six weeks to transform the home into a Downey-rific sanctuary keyed to the couple’s adventurous aesthetic tastes and the comfort of their children, five-year-old son Exton and three-year-old daughter Avri. (The actor has another son, 24-year-old Indio, with his ex-wife, Deborah Falconer.)
Happily, once the holiday season was over, Nahem and his team were able to return to the home and begin the renovation in earnest. One of the biggest changes was the reconfiguration of the living room that lies just beyond the octagonal entry foyer at the base of the windmill. To give the transitional area a greater sense of place, the designer sunk the living room several feet and anchored it with a massive wraparound fireplace wall by ceramic artist Peter Lane.
Another major component of the renovation involved rethinking the pool area to suit the Downeys’ vision of easy, breezy outdoor leisure. Rather than making the guesthouse do double duty as a swimming cabana, as it had in the previous scheme, Nahem designed a freestanding poolside pavilion, in collaboration with Alveary Architecture, replete with a dining setup centered on a mosaic-topped table by Kelly Behun Studio, an outdoor living room and bar, and a television almost as large as the screens at the local multiplex.
As for the interiors of the house itself, the mix represents an amiable consensus among the Downeys and their designer: pedigreed pieces and unpretentious off-the-rack staples, poppy colors and soothing neutrals, eccentric accents and discreet luxuries. It’s an idiosyncratic assemblage that speaks equally to the actor’s puckish spirit, his wife’s concerns for efficiency and ease, and Nahem’s finesse in crafting eminently livable homes with a touch of otherworldly magic.

This dude was born to play tony stark
Watermelon Head Tony Stark was created to be played by Robert
Robert is literally Tony , Tony is literally Robert
You took the words from my mouth
He's not a dude, you're a dude .
This is a man, a handsome muscular man 😂
Evika Rahayu i see what you did there 😂😂
his wife is so iconic she matches his energy so well
Not sure iconic is the right word lmao
@@austinhendricks8658 nowadays it does the word has lost all its meaning
Yeah, the house says it all.
@@oscar2k755 its just a word DONT cry
@@suziyard9465 yes, because I'm crying
After this I’m convinced he has never seen a single script from Marvel, not one. The man just gets on set and does his thing.
Aren't you happy that this man has made it to a happy and trouble free life ? Man its so nice to see this man jolly and happy.
Yes!👍🏽
Lol - all he did was pretend to be some of your favorite make-believe characters in movies. He’s not a hero or anything
@@RAVENC-4621i am sure they are talking about his drug addiction time
its so inspiring really !
Yes, all thanks to Mel Gibson
That moment when u realize that he didn't act Tony Stark...that's just how he is.
lool
Which is why he was just perfect for the role
YES.
Tony Stark is an ENTP NETI and ROBERT is an ENTP NEFE quite some difference in my opinion.... ( I'm not joking LMFAO)
Was going to say the same thing!
So he wasn’t even acting in the MCU, he really just is Tony Stark in real life.
The fact that RDJ is a cat person has just cemented him on my list of favourite people.
Tony gets paid to play Robert Downey Jr
Yes! That is why, as a 45 year Marvel Comic collector, I was so excited when they cast him. Nailed it!
He is just using his normal behaviour in the Movies
I knew it all long!
The first celebrity house on AD that looks messy yet cosy & beautiful 😍. Such a humbled couple.
This was the most chaotic AD home tour and I’m here for it!😂👏🏼
so he got paid for being himself in the avengers
and iron man films lol
You just found out?
and the sherlock holmes films
Yes.
Same thought hhahaha
RDJ is iron man even when he is not in character 😂
We love you 3000
We do love you 3000, Sir
Bagas Prakoso no iron man will ever be better than RDJ!
Im crying
*sniff* ok that was unnecessary
We love you 3000 indeed!😍😍😍😍
And yeah, he's just so in his character.. Or he's just this way in real...😃😃😍😍😍
His house is him ..
A lot of character, fun and unique.
Hello greetings how are you doing is me keanu reeves can I share something with you...
He picked the perfect partner, they have great chemistry and look good together, great house, lots of Aries energy.
They are not just husband and wife, they are pals.
@0:10, he says, "that would be security breach" instead of "that would be a security breach". I see every Aries making grammatical mistakes and being lousy in general. RDJ's non-marvel movies aren't that great. I am an Aries too. Please don't have Aries children.
This was a nice comment until you ruined it with the horoscope BS at the end...
I can't tell if he's being himself, or he's stuck as Tony Stark
Its him before auditions
Kenneth Bowers Tony Stark is RDJ
bro he is literally tony stark now
I don’t really think there is a difference anymore 😂
I mean that in a good way.
he adapted himself into tony stark, idiots
He protec
He attac
But most importantly
He loves you 3000 bac
He protecc
He accatt
But most importantly
He not let out his cattt
But most importantly
He is Tony Starcc
I needed this 😪🥺
@@MrMasterSimo That's what I *_thought_* he was going to say
Hospitable great another person seeking attention by using something someone else already said proud of yourself?
Finally a house where you actually see that people are really living in, and doesn't feel like a museum. :)
As a cat owner, I have no idea how he’s managed to keep such nice furniture with two cats roaming around.
And I don't think I would put the cat box in a closet where my clothes are hanging....
@@sandraleigh4023 dude must have the cleanest cats on earth
😅😅😅😅 I have 2 cats got another new couch 1 week in they ripped 3 cushions open al ripped holes everywhere else I give up 😅
@@user-xn8pd2re3n I feel your pain
Dont let the cats out!
My man gets paid for being himself 😂 I love 3000!
true🤣❤
Hahahaahaha....I wish I can have a job like that
Hitlers cat
PERIODT
We did it mr stark
I think Robert purposely made almost every piece of furniture comfortable so he can sleep anywhere
A true futurist is you ask me
I don’t know how someone so rich and above me can feel so relatable
Lol I think that is true 😂
They also have kids. You can't have furniture that isn't able to be sat on or is uncomfortable. They'll just bother you more.

This has to be so nicely therapeutic being away from the grandiose and unbelievable life Robert lives. Less is more. Wow, nice place to call home. Robert keeping it real. I'm liking him even more as if that was even possible.
This is the best episode of AD because they showed a glimpse of an actually lived in room that hadn’t been professionally cleaned & decorated before the cameras arrived.
*I believe he has a secret basement filled with iron man suits*
conspiracy 101
Go search in his Malibu mansion...
@@VALAR_Morgulis. y'mean the building that got blown up years ago.... yea... sure
@@person43 I think stark rebuilt that for sure by now
Just for keeping iron man suits...😅😅
No silly, it's the bodies.
It’s not even over the top luxurious. He knows what is essential. THE DAMN CATS
Not over the top? House is like 20 metres and another level away from being a mansion
Dudes living in a giant windmill..
He lives in a windmill. Not over the top. XD but the cats are important
Well, we haven't seen his Malibu house.
What literally u mean CATS? the real or just another meaning?
Love how they’re not shy about their house being lived in. Super Stars with nice things but it gets used things.
So homely. Robert has a great sense of humour with good looks. Hard to believe the Iron man living a simple life.
i will just pretend iron man retired and living like this.
adit same man. I’ll pretend he lives here and still lives at that wooden house by the lake.
yes man, why not hulk do the snaps on thanos earlier on his left hand.
Dandy G because hulk had already snapped his fingers remember Thanos destroyed the avengers headquarters after the snap
That is what he did.
YES
When people say “I wish I had a cool dad” they mean they want Robert Downey Jr.
Hell yeah!
but if you don’t go to sleep he’ll sell all of your toys
Did you mean tony stark?
Or jackie chan
Olivia Martin me
Robert whispering "dear boys" at 4:18 to his cats is everything
🥹😻
I love these down to earth guys! They realize they’re just like everyone else, except rich!
C'mon Robert don't be shy, show us the Iron Man suits that you hide in your basement

Love the confident energy of this couple, giving people unfiltered, unstaged, the most authentic house tour ever
Little did they know, drax is in every frame standing very VERY still
Quietly 😂
*HI DRAX*
Crunching slowly
This whole Drax thing is getting irritating real quick
How do you know? I cant see him
This man basically launched the whole marvel franchise with one hit movie
KMR_136 and got a super sweet contract deal from it
Yup. The Godfather of the mcu
thanks to kevin feige and jov fraveu too they improvise most of the script in such limited time which is amazing
And yet,not a mansion,just a quaint little windmill house,messy rooms, cats and all,down to earth and still acts exactly like Tony stark lol you can't not love him.
are you serious? wtf? go do a search. you seriously think he only owns one house? a quick search in the first page of google tells you he at least own 9 because that is how many results google will show you in one page.
You guys are so laid back, your home is lovely, thanks for the tour
RDJ is literally one of the richest movie stars in the world and this is his house.... Simple and homely...
I love it...❤️
Tony Stark is showing is his luxurious house, while acting as RDJ
HAHAHA AGREE
Yes, but maybe more isolated.
So you could say that he's a dude…playing a dude?
Zeo , but the real question is....
Is he a dude playing a dude... disguised as another dude?
Haven’t heard this one before. Clever joke mate!
It's nice watching iron man pretend to be some guy in Hollywood
Well, The Hamptons. Hollywood East, basically.
He should be the next cameo guy, in the next marvels movies :D

Truly, Mr. Downey is a national treasure. I totally love this guy. And his lovely spouse seems to be a sweet person as well. Love it!
Their home looks so nice and cozy meanwhile other celebs home just bombarded with gold and gucci lmao. I'd rather Tony's house tyvm.
thank you veeeeerrry much...
(sorry I just had to)
RBJ made a home while the others make crack dens
Lol like Kanye’s house
Other celbs home is not like a real home it feels artificial
It still looks expensive
*For some reason I feel this house has high tech equipments*

It does he’s just hiding them for the video, he truly lives in the avengers tower

Jarvis is in charge of not letting the cats out.
@@arturoescorcia Lol XD
the way robert put lot of his younger-self posters in everywhere’s such a legend. i love his confidence of the fact that he is actually fanboying himself.
So cool that it's a windmill home. Definitely reflects their fun personalities. Also, I love that they are both cat lovers. 😊
just imagine. RDJ kids at school
Class mate 1: my dads a police officer.
class mate 2: my dads a fire fighter
RDJ kid: *MY DADS IRON MAN*
@art girls everyone Since they won't be using Iron Man again any time soon,its safe to say is. RDJ is going to be Iron Man for a very very long time.
And the other kids be like we would like to express sympathy for your fathers death
Class mate 1 to RDJ's Kid: My Dad said he arrested your Dad like 4 times, lol
Cue black sabbath song
Quedyn Pickens dead accurate.
why is tony stark pretending to be this so called robert lol

I can't get over how good Robert looks, he seems to never age and is in great physical shape. MY hero lol.
RDJ being a cat person gives me life
There's not even an ounce of difference between Tony Stark's personality and RDJ as an actual person.
RDJ was created to be the real life Iron Man
RDJ is a living, breathing bundle of joy and imperfections. Tony Stark is dead. There!

Well we do see his humble retirement home in Endgame, it's just not a windmill

So Ironman lives in a windmill now and left Pepper for a cat lady. Strange..,but I will take this new timeline Cap created.
The "cat lady" is the reason He quit drugs and turned his life around.
@@sindhus1702 obviously your confusing Tony Stark with someone else.
Pepper is the cat lady lol

best things about this: every seating area is also a sleeping area and they highlighted it every time like yea i come down here to lie down xD
the fact that they didn't artistically arrange everything so many rooms are messy
the cats
This is the best house tour of the AD series. They actually made it fun.
I cant be the only one who noticed that Tony Stark changed his name to Robert just so he can cheat on Pepper
Nah it's his clone, he tried to make him so he had an extra iron man but all he wanted was to be an actor
Pepper changed her name to Susan
What a dawg
No man I believe that too
Daamn I didn’t even think about that, what a snake
