Inside Meg Ryan's New York City Loft | Celebrity Homes | Architectural Digest

Actress and director Meg Ryan enlists designer Monique Gibson and architect Joel Barkley to help her reimagine a New York City loft with an art-world pedigree.

Ryan first encountered the loft apartment she now calls home around 15 years ago, when she attended a party there. She forgot all about it until she was on her house hunt and stepped back through the door. “I remembered immediately having been there. It was all quite different back then, and the space had been through many eras. At one point Cindy Sherman had used it for her photo studio. In fact, what’s now my coatroom was her darkroom. But even when I had visited all those years ago, I was amazed by the volume. It was like so much of New York: cinematic.”

Ryan's NYC loft features:
-- A silver Windsor chair from Wyeth.

-- Two prints from Ryan’s photography collection—one by Sebastião Salgado (top), one by Annie Leibovitz—are displayed on the room’s marble shelving.

-- Fabrics by Rogers & Goffigon cover the living room’s sofas and ottoman. Pendant from John Rosselli & Assoc., custom-made rug by Holland & Sherry.

-- Light floods the living room, where a pair of task lamps from Wyeth sit atop a vintage worktable, one of Ryan’s treasured finds. The armchair at right, also from her trove, is joined by a Stéphane Parmentier lava-stone stool.

-- A tub by the Water Monopoly anchors the master bath; the dual Urban Archaeology vanities are customized with Grigio Carnico marble tops. Tub and sink fittings by Waterworks.

-- In a corner of the living room, a painting of Ryan by John Mellencamp overlooks an Arts and Crafts table displaying a Pablo Avilla wire sculpture.

-- Bentwood chairs from Lee Calicchio surround the dining room’s custom-made bronze table by Maison Gerard. Salvaged lantern and mantel from United House Wrecking.

-- The media room features a bronze-footed sofa by BDDW and a grouping of Scandinavian pottery from Wyeth.

-- Bed curtains of a Holland & Sherry wool and a pendant light from Olde Good Things hang in the master bedroom. Arts and Crafts chairs by George Henry Walton, cocktail table by Jacques Adnet, rug by RH.

-- Industrial lights from a salvage shop in Maine illuminate the kitchen’s dining area, which boasts cabinets by Fine Woodwork. Grapefruit fills a porcelain bowl by Valérie Hermans on a plank-top table by Get Back.

Stop making nasty comments about how she looks. Her place looks like her personality and style, not fussy and simply elegant. May I remind everyone, she is not in her 20's. She's a grown accomplished woman. Nice to see her looking happy and healthy, The Meg Ryan I remember.

My only complaint is that the video is way too short! There are myriad of styles & preferences....that’s what makes the world go round! And everyone is free to express their own style. How fun! I think the home and Meg Ryan are beautiful. 🌸

Seriously she was the most cutest teen and adult actress I have seen in life .. She had the most mischievous smile and even the Walk..She definitely looked a tomboy and I loved watching her ..

Her home looks stunning cozy warm and beautiful.. Just like her

[katjames]

This is about her living space and not about her choice in plastic surgery procedures. She's a lovely person and shouldn't be judged on the outside only.

[barbaraibarra]

This is one of the most elegant loft I have ever seen, I want to move in!

For me as a German it looks like a traditionel NYC-appartment - cosy and also cool. So nice.

Meg Ryan is such a little cutie pie. And her house is adorable just like her.

Judging from the quick glimpses of the place, it is very elegant, and beautifully designed. I hope she finds happiness in the fruits of her labors.
