Inside Diplo's Jamaican Jungle Paradise | Open Door | Architectural Digest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- Today, AD is welcomed by Diplo to tour his private jungle paradise in Jamaica. Since the beginning of his career, Jamaica has been a significant haven of inspiration for the Grammy award-winning DJ and producer so it made perfect sense as the location for his own tropical retreat. After purchasing an ambitious 50 acres of land, Diplo assembled an inspired team of artists to help bring his vision to life over the next 10 years. The years of work have resulted in an indoor-outdoor concrete villa clinging to the lush hillside. Bridges, trellises, and breezeways connect the space, allowing the jungle to weave into the home as if one. Now Diplo walks around his new home confident that his dreams have been realized through these years of hard work. “This project was all about patience. There were so many ways that it could have failed, but we kept finding solutions. I thought that, if nothing else, at least I own a bunch of banana trees.”

The amount of commercials in this thirteen minute video is ridiculous!
Jisoo company when?
The link is broken
One of the best homes you have shown 10/10
This is my favorite house I've ever seen on AD. The architecture, decor and location. Stunning. ❤
Didn't expect to be obsessed with Diplo's property - but here we are
It’s Jamaica hun, there’s a lot to love 🇯🇲
Same!
It’s heavenly I
Love it
Same here 🙌🏾😅 Architects, well done!
That the life..its like he stole whole idea .lol
This has to be one of the most beautiful homes and authentic tours on AD. There's color, there's history, style, incredible architecture, and most of all NATURE. Didn't think I would become a fan of a house like this but here we are!
Designed by a design team in ny
Not disagreeing you but there’s always this same comment on every video. It’s all subjective.
Totally agree. Such a cool episode
this guy has style and seems really nice and down to earth too.
@@fmcdomer what design team is that?
i never get envious of celebrity houses but the taste and vibe of this house is just elite, ugh.
Too elite 😂
love u AD
can we get the musics you made ?
You should get a female horse and name her John the Mare
So glad that let you use your own music! Knew it was uncharacteristically dope for AD. And I can't believe you made that. You can tell you have a serious appreciation for Jamaican music. The little reverb doinnngg was perfect xxxxs
I'm pulling up to Jamaica because of your crib
Dope house! Congratulation!
The taste levels, talent and creativity involved is OUTRAGEOUS?????
you forgot money, but yes.
@@MrShokololand where does diplo get all this money to build a house like this?
@@BlackCinco568do u know who diplo is :D
Otherworldly.
@@MrShokolol If you've watched enough of these expensive house tours you'd know that money can't buy taste. Most of these multi million dollar mansions are lame, cold and seem like they exist to check boxes for what a rich person should have instead of being homes catering to a person's interests, tastes and hobbies
Didnt know Diplo was chill like this, bro is living the dream.
absolutely
Diplo's a creep, Google it
preach
diplo is a sweet potatoe
@@BenRigdonand a predator
I didn't know what to expect.. I'm blown away. Diplo has immaculate taste.
The connection to nature, style, character, thought process, personality....absolutely stunning. Has to be my favorite ad house
One of the best OPEN DOOR'S, tons of character!
Totally disagree, seriously soulless brutalist concret facade. How you can say this has charcahter i have no idea. Watch some of the other homes on AD, this has zero soul at all.
"A landscape for me is a piece of art, so we frame it like that" sums it up pretty well.
This house is AMAZING! I am absolutely loving it. Somebody, please build it on the sims XD
Okay on it 🫡😎
Diplo shows the true beauty & bounty of our island paradise. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Portland is the most beautiful parish in Jamaica. Extremely quiet.
I feel like you could talk to Diplo all day about life, goals, and wanting to be a better person and he'd be there to listen & help. Seems pretty chill. Must be the Jamaican lifestyle.
Other than the "I bet no one has one of these" or "this is pretty rare" bragging comments he tosses in, sure. 😂
And he would be giving you a cuddle while you talked lol. I love seeing him win. All positivity
@@spacecash9721what, no one else can make jokes? You made some wild projections there, and tryna cut deep. You got issues.
@@spacecash9721 "LEAVE THE MULTIMILLIONAIRE ALONE!!"
@@spacecash9721 it aint that deep relax weirdo
This has more soul and authenticity than all of Dubai
Why would you compare them? They’re both not even in the same type of biome
I love your comparison
Very true 😂
❤🇯🇲
Yes Dubai, every single Utah mom's place, all the Taylor Swift girlies, and finance bro's place.
Im not usually a brutalist fan when it comes to a house that you actually live in, but this was made with so much intent and flows so nicely that if I were Duplo I would rarely ever leave. Very nice!
I think his place is the best that AD has featured. His place is awesome
This Guy lives in Paradise and the house is amazing , such a piece of art !! He Won
This is probably one of the coolest homes ive ever seen
Diplo is not someone I would care to be around, but the architecture, furnishings, and environment are just incredible.
I applaud how he created synergy w the Jamaican environs. The people, his farm, flora and fauna, animals and weather. Even his love of art and the breadfruit sculpture ❤ I hope more build using this style in Jamaica.
I Agree
As a Jamaican , I’m so inspired by the Brazilian architecture. Very rare to see here but absolutely beautiful ! Big up Diplo and Major Lazer!!!
facts! we always used to painting but the raw smooth concrete gives a nice vibe.
Never thought I’d see a house like this jamaica but I’m loving it !! Very nice only in Portland !! How could I get there for a visit or stay !! ?
@@godschild7350 There are plenty of houses like this, my family has a similar design in Montego Bay, you can look to book villas for something like this
@@godschild7350on a horse😂
Likewise. I'm also very fascinated by this style of architecture and surprised to see that there's a house like this in the island. Definitely a concept I plan on using.
This is one of the best homes ever featured on AD. Diplo surprised me with his taste in architecture and design, this is stunning.. I also love the background music that accompanied the video!
This is so beautiful. The wooden headboards, the sculptures, the framing of the landscape, the gym and library is insane!
He did the backflip and caught his glasses at the same time!!🤯 That's maximum swagger
As a Jamaican, living in Jamaica...this was a delight to watch! LOOOOVED THIS!! 🤌🏾👌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Mi feel poor again
On one hand I love it, on another, the "allegations " are a few.. I hope it's for a better Jamaica and not exploitation of our girls and lands.
As a Jamaican, I wouldn’t be praising Diplo if I were you, considering all the allegations and how he treats underage women of color. Just saying
How much can a house like this cost in jamaica?
This is absolutely the most beautiful house in Jamaica. Thank you, Diplo, for creating this beauty in my country. We need more great architectural masterpieces like this. 🇯🇲
Have you seen all the homes in Jamaica?
Doubt tht
No its not! There are many outdoor homes in Jamaica w/ edgeless pools!
I so agree with you 🇯🇲
Ha that's your OPINION. it's nice tho beautiful property great air quality.
This has to be the best house AD has ever featured! Absolutely 10/10!
Diplo doesn't deserve to be this rich. Straight up.
a gnt sabe que riqueza não é sobre merecimento...
GOALS! Love all the natural materials in this house and not a lot of plastic.
One of the best houses i have ever seen ....
this house is a piece of art, i was literally crying at the end of the video, it's the great beauty, nature, care, all in one place!
The DJ/Producer with the most style and taste.
Did he say poured concrete wasn't a thing in Jamaica? An island where all the major homes must be concrete by law because of the earthquakes? As an American living in Jamaica this video annoys me, I can't stand this guy. Feels like coloniizer vibes.
This has got to be one of my all time favourite Ad tours - Diplo, your house is what I have been seeing in my mind since I was young, to see a house like this is inspiring!
Love the colour schemes - jewel tones. 60's and 70's vibes. I relate.
Jamaica is a paradise
This is definitely one of the most amazing properties on the island. Well done. Simply amazing. A piece of art.
Everything about this property is LIFE!!! Simply amazing in every aspect. Much respek DIPLO!!!
I can definitely feel the vibe of this house-the fresh sea air and the vegetation. It's a vacation place of dreams!
Agreed! When he was talking about writing on the letterhead if you stay there I was like wait can i rent this on airbnb? Haha
@@iluvconcerts3maybe?… (the studio!) 👀💚👀
My beautiful parish and country. 🇯🇲
I remembered following Diplo on MySpace in 2007 and I knew he was going to make it at this level, so happy to see the mix of cultures he owns and mixes with great taste
“It’s analog” 💕 and he created music for this video. Wow, the attention to detail is next level
What's not to love?! 50 acres of Caribbean paradise! Love all the concrete and the furniture. Just so you know, those bananas are still green...banana bread calls for ripe/over-ripe bananas.
Perhaps that's why he said "later". Time is relative.
No, there is a type of banana that is green even when it is ripe, Musa Ebun Muzak for example. We have this type of banana in our backyard and with other varieties. If you live in the tropics, you know that there are so many types of bananas. That yellow banana you see in the supermarket is especially grown for exports and perhaps the only banana known by many people living in colder climates.
It's Jamaican green banana
@@lamindy no those are cooking bananas they probably won't really ripen.
@@ecksearoh6283Some bananas ripen in green color
I’m usually not a fan of brutalist architecture but he made me one today! Wow!
It's a juxtaposition to highlight the true beauty which is the jungle. Love it.
THE BREADFRUIT SCULPTURE IS AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING
haha i know it is so cool!!
JAMAICA NIIICE!!!!!!! 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 Portland is the safest parish and I see why.
It's the safest parish because most of the population is in Kingston. Not because some white colonizer moved there.
this is the most fire compound I've ever seen in my life...........
one of my favourite houses I've seen on here - stunning
Is this the guy who has been accused of targeting young black girls / women. And he is out in Jamaica? Someone needs to keep an eye on this weirdo.
Why is no one else saying this.. why are we idolizing this guy.
@@marleyyates2995this!!!
THE BEST open door ad
The local Jamaican people are being locked out of blue lagoon, its cultural heritage site that the people have deep spiritual ties to and as of lately Jamaicans can't get access to it fences and roadblocks for the people off the land. Glad he enjoys it tho.
This..
I did wonder how much the locals were getting to enjoy Blue Lagoon etc.
@@leilakennedy7736Why would government lock locals out .? Don't listen to these people
@@user-dx5mg9by9y because they cant pay as much as rich foreign tourists goverments dont care for the people they care for power
Jamaica’s do not own Jamaica and never will, just like Africans do not own Africa and never will. It’s a sad reality, but it is a reality nonetheless.
Those two countries been sold to Chinese and different cultures throughout the history of existence .
It seems like there is no unity. That is why it is easy for others to come in and take over, because these countries are poverty stricken, and the natives are easy to manipulate and control.
I love the integration with the land, the culture, and the environment and who Diplo is, amazing!
This is one of the best properties we have seen in this channel. So much personality! I LOVED his house a LOT!
These ADs always just come up on my feed and watch through them quickly but must say this one is MY FAV. Not one second was boring 👏🏻
Beautiful house and farm! Gorgeous views of nature and the ocean. Excellent interior design and architecture. LOVED the breadfruit sculpture! Loved the whole thing! 🇯🇲💖🇯🇲💖🇯🇲💖🇯🇲
Really copied lenny kravitz on the opening horseback
And???
Ok
Came here to say this. How unoriginal...
do you really think he bought horses specifically for this video? lmao
Wow he has horses too as do millions of people🙄
Finally a rich person with a house where you can actually live and use all the space
One of my favourites, hands down
Opening 100% reminds me of the tour with Lenny Kravitz! Dude!! Even the way he talks
100%
Maybe similar personality type!
@@katscandanceBoth Kravitz and Diplo have groomed and molested young girls, so that's an accurate statement.
Very tasteful design and personalised furniture/statement sculpture. Pleasantly surprised Diplo.
hands down, the most beautiful and authentic house I've seen by any artist on the internet
Never heard of you Diplo but I immensely enjoyed this one. Natural materials, fine taste AND infra red sauna, cold plunge bath and horses … heavennn!! 🤩
I LOVE the interior design, decor, and music. I also love the horses. Everything is gorgeous! ❤❤❤
How cool…. No flys, mosquito, spiders and snakes …. I love it
There is definitely all that and more out there.
@@kl6172 I’m live in Australia and there’s no way, you could live like that here …..
Don't think this house could look any more perfect. Everything's been well thought out, the flow and functionality, detail, and then his own soundtrack ugh... PERFECTION!
Not sure which pleases my eyes more the host or the house, both just perfect and been a fan of Diplo. This is a treat !
My favorite AD house of all time!!! This is beautiful. The 360' views and the detail and placement of rooms are fantastic! 🤩🤩🤩
Happy for him only if Jamaicans are happy these ones are known to cause a raise in land and property prices making it difficult for locals to compete
Gorgeous! I like how it works with the environment. I appreciate it’s not all locked up with the air con on, he’s about the breeze and letting nature in. Gorgeous! I love it!
Incredible house..money well spent..amazing when you see your vision comes to reality.
This might be the best so far, well intentioned build. Big ups Diplo.
One of the best homes on AD....Love it
This is one of the best, if not the best AD Open Door episode.
This might be my favourite house ever, the taste and attention to detail is on 1000. I feel like he tapped into my brain fr.
Love Diplo. He’s one chilled out dude. His house is pretty incredible too, wow! Wasn’t expecting that at all. ♥️🙌🏼
Now that is a beautiful and yet practical house to live in.
Diplo has captured Jamaica in his architecture and designs. This is beautiful 😍
Thanks Diplo and your whole team that designed this house!!
Not Diplo living his wildes jamaican luxury farm dream haha!
This is truely wild! Absolutely loved the heavy reggae tunes in dis one! Would love to come visit 🔥
Love it! 7 years design and build on an island isn’t easy but just WOW. Well worth it. Superb.
this is one of the best ad videos. this "house" is absolutely charming 🇯🇲
Hope everyone on the earth could live in such a great house!
One of the coolest houses I've seen so far on here! Amazing!
Love the walls of glass the house just melts in nature
This is the most beautiful house I have seen in my entire life
This house is incredible. If I had diplo money this is exactly what I would build.
This is so breathtaking! I am absolutely in LOVE!!!!
Totally epic. I hope Diplo gives back to the Jamaican community in spades.
Yeah cause so many wealthy Jamaicans do?
I was never interested in going to Jamaica. I now must go
this is one of the best homes I have seen on AD
Prolly the best house ive ever seen. Just wow!
Amazing is an understatement....Wow.. Great Job!!
Wow what an amazing house in Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤😊
I love everything about this.
This is the best house I have ever seen in my life ❤
Gorgeous architecture
This was relaxing
WOW. I LOVE this house! All time favourite!
What an elegant and down-to-earth introduction . . . I knew nothing about Diplo, but now truly appreciate what a thoughtful, creative, and intelligent renaissance guy he is. Excellent!
This is definitely the dream and one of the best designs I've seen on this series.
