I wish I could have made it to New York for this year’s Hearst Designer Visions show house. It is set in a brand new warehouse-to-condo conversion building in TriBeCa. They paired each magazine with a designer—Matthew Patrick Smyth for Elle Decor, David Rockwell for House Beautiful, and Antony Todd for Veranda. Then, the spaces were used as sets for two short films produced by The 48 Hour Film Project. Here’s a look at the rooms.
