Phenomenal home. I was sad when he said “I don’t want you to bore you to death with the details”. I want to know more!! Amazing architecture and refined taste.

What a classy home. Thank you for let us see inside.

This house is so beautiful! The library is definitely my favorite part of the house

[Frenchie]

It's modern but not cold and impersonal. Gorgeous!

I adore this man. He's so cool and smart and humble.

So strange, on the face of it I wouldn't think of this as my favorite style, but the art and house work so well together I can't help but love it. Beautiful place, thanks for the tour!

I can only imagine the fascinating dinner conversation about how the art and library were collected!

[EpicEventsPartyRentals]

This level of wealth and culture is what I strive for.

That library 😲👏 with the almost maze like glass bridges that form the second story. One of those things you see that will ever persist in your mind. So extra, yet so his laid back style at the same time.

This library reminds me of my home library when I was a child. My elder brothers worked hard to build that library

The Capulets were clearly behind that house fire!

What a wonderful, humble person you are.
I loved the African pieces especially the boat full of people.
Thankyou for showing your lovely home. May you enjoy every single moment in it .

[amcreative]

Thank you for sharing your art filled home. It was a blessing to see the pieces that surround the space.

[mickeyjasperswe]

What an amazing collection of African art. I've never seen a collection of African art so similar to mine. Thank you for sharing. If you allow tours, I would love to one day see your collection in person.

[biswajithota]

Very beautiful & unusual pieces of art. Extremely loved the concept of the house.

[robertschlesinger]

Great home and great interior design, David. David, you look familiar. I may have seen you or met you at a rare book event or an ethnographic art event in Southern California, where I live and do much of my collecting. If I see you at another such event, I'll be sure to say hello.
