3 Interior Designers Transform the Same Luxury Loft | Space Savers | Architectural Digest

We gave interior designers Noz Nozawa, Darren Jett, and Joy Moyler a photo of the same undecorated loft in New York - then asked each of them to create a design for it in their particular style, however they pleased. From the windows to the floors, the lighting fixtures to the furniture - three artists, one canvas, each bringing something different to the space. Watch and see which designer checks the most boxes on your luxury loft wishlist.

Joy is designing a home you live in, Noz is designing a show home for a brochure and Darren is doing a boutique hotel suite

[@fruit4evr]

I think you summarized it so well! ur really right

[@justjulia5116]

Ok but I'd hands down live in Noz's space. Perhaps in in Darren if this place is huge and I have an open kitchen/tv room/regular dining space somewhere else, and tbh (everybody's got their thing) but never in Joy's, mostly just not into harsh shapes/love more organic and also it feels like I'd always be bashing into a chair or something.

I LOVE Noz’s - so fun! Love the shapes and textures- But it needs some colour! Ok - never mind… just watched some more and the coloured windows!! 😂😂

[@sazennonumber]

Three absolutely different styles, for sure. Noz scored trillion points for me right off the bat though, when she introduced an island so that people don't have to walk forever to get to the fridge. This assignment didn't even have clients, but she showed that she is thinking of the user in relation to the space. It's not all about the looks and it is great to see that a designer understands that. Thank you for this video, it's awesome!

[@morticiagomez6166]

One critique is that Noz blocked the view with that big couch and the guests backs will be towards the view! And then she blocked the view further with those colour panels.

The island doesn't have any storage. Did seem practical for some one in a smaller space.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 😊💗

[@lityne5577]

Noz and Darren's designs were really cool but I feel like Joy probably gets more actual work.

[@rasberry513]

I think Noz's and Darren's designs just wanted to bring out a whimsical idea, and originality. The projects in both their websites are pretty tame but stylish; and Joy's website also has more stylish and daring interiors.

[@rianamohamed300]

Darren's design looks like a zoo

[@EH23831]

Hate Darren’s - looks like a literal nightmare

[@lukethomas658]

Joy's seems most rooted in how people actually live. I suspect with real life layering would be gorgeous, but it does seem a little lackluster in the rendering. I loved Noz's right up until those tinted panels, love all organic shapes and white. Darren's would be a fabulous swanky hotel lobby, but particularly billed as an entertaining space, sitting on low cushions and sculptural furniture is not a relaxed experience for guests

[@Vanilla.coke1234]

It feels "realter spec" to me. It's definitely for someone that just wants something easy to come home to after a long day

[@NardosKebede]

Well said, Luke. Also, replacing the kitchen peninsula with floating island is a BIG POINT for Noz - access is 🔑

[@kelvinong6549]

Interesting. I was meh about Noz's until the tinted window panels, and then I LOVED it.

[@dianeosgood6594]

Joys design with chairs with more of a curve design would have made the space more balanced. The space is very rectangular and her furniture is too. Like the dining chairs and living room chairs Noz used. The breakfast bar stools of neither work, they need to have padded seats and lower backs. Viola Davis chose perfect ones for a surprise redo of a kitchen for friend with Property Brothers. Rugs with holes are bad idea. That space needs a beautiful rug with color and/or artwork with color and accessories and pillows that pick up colors of the artwork and rug.

I genuinely love everyone’s aesthetic. Joy’s design seems to be the most functional (even down to the crypton), Noz’s creation is beautiful but I would be afraid to do anything in that space - way too white for me - but it’s breathtakingly organic. Last but definitely not least Darren’s mind is brilliant. I would love to tag along with him on adventures just to see how he views the world and what he’s attracted to. His design was my favorite, but I couldn’t see myself living there. More of these videos please 🥰

[@leaschmitt2496]

I would have honest to god absolutely loved noz's design if only she didn't choose all white and neutrals for everything and instead used the same shapes but with a lot more colour and did away with the weird coloured window pannels that only take away from the views

[@EtreTocsin]

All white is the best. So easy to clean. You see a stain and get to clean it right away without it setting. And you can use bleach and peroxide but can’t do that on color fabrics and woods.

The moment Darren added blue carpet, I began begging him to stop flogging a dead horse, it was already dead. To be fair, if he added the bronze mirror BEFORE the blue carpet, I could see it as a hotel lobby bar or something with more relaxing lounge furniture. But then he went all Nickelodeon Channel with the furniture as well.

This is G-O-L-D; OmG. I always wanted to see something like this: professionals in interior design and decor doing magic from three different perspectives, styles and methods, each in their own way. My fav style is definitely and 100% attached to Joy's, especially because of the minimalism, the simplicity of the elements and the calm color palettes, but I admit that the projects of the other two designers are very interesting, especially since they are based on exactly the same space. I recently added an Arco lamp from Barcelona Designs to my living room and realized how much I love classic and iconic MCM designs. Amazing video!

[@juliaignaszewski9322]

What's cool about Noz's is that in the nighttime you would experience that all-white, soft, organic, relaxing vibe, so you're getting a massive visual transformation of the space from the colourful day look. I love both!

I think softly colored, sheer curtain panels would have been a better alternative to the window tints. Maybe it's my age, but I remember the days when haberdashers (there's a word no one uses anymore) used to tint their store windows like that. I couldn't break the association in my mind.

I love Noz’s. Its so calming to me. Everything else stressed me out majorly; Joy’s was too crowded for me and too harsh, it felt very artificial in a wat (but i absolutely adored some of the colors she was working with), while Darren’s felt… not exactly claustrophobic, but just very uncomfortable and close (but those curtains were breathtaking and very heavenly).

[@bearchow1723]

This was a master class in interior design for someone like me. I have a passion for it and I know what I love, but I currently have little practical experience beyond designing a few personal spaces. Among the fun, insightful videos that AD has brought us, this one struck me as particularly inspirational. AD has chosen three really talented designers with distinct views. All three designers had fantastic ideas. They expressed their approach and artistic view with such eloquence. It allowed me to see why they went with those choices. I nodded along as they elaborated on their choices and thought about how it made sense given their artistic POV. And so, whereas I may differ in certain areas, I respect their selections a lot. If I was fortunate to be presented with a choice between the three, I would go Noz Nozawa’s approach as it has a magical blend of calm and playfulness. I love the rounded shapes, natural textures, and purposeful asymmetry.

[@Shooky_pink]

I agree seeing how they explained their choices and they way they talked about their designs and the emotions that come with them was amazing. It made me feel excited with interior design again which I haven’t been for a while tbh. I loved all of them and for all different reasons and POV’s but the way Darren’s made me feel … it was like a spark it’s so beautiful to see… for all of them

the rugs with holes is a death trap - will likely get ripped either by a chair leg or human tripping on it. and that sofa - couldn't nap on that. the opulent one is all about the designer's aesthetic (which is fab!) so it leaves little room for the homeowner to express themselves other than through the vision of the designer. the final one is standard issue sound design that's practical, economical, livable - generic done well. i would have liked to have seen the opposite end of the space too and how they dealt with whatever challenges were there. love these videos!

Joy’s is my favorite because it’s livable, simple, but beautiful - balanced. Darrens design I think takes swanky too far and feels like a beautiful hookah lounge.

[@chandahopkins]

The fact that Noz and Darren both cover up that million dollar view is sacrilege. Darrens Blue floor is amazing and the reflective warmth on the walls is inspiring, but his design reminds me more of a restaurant I would want to visit , rather than a home. Noz, had the right idea with changing out the island but again, I think most New Yorkers who are paying for a place with floor to ceiling windows, want to see the city , not stained glass. I think Joys design is a bit restrained, but is the only one that respects the buyers investment.

[@hopelaurrrr]

I love seeing three incredible designers showcase their perspectives on the same space. I would love love love to see more videos like this!

[@mayarapier1494]

Loved them all but Noz is my favorite ! Although I’m not sure about the colored windows - I’d think I’d get over stimulated by it and miss the natural light.

[@LinaG30]

The 3rd is a good real life living space. The 2nd (tinted windows) is a good design for an airbnb and the 1st (with those pillow like seats) is a good events place design.

[@Mariciella]

I like how appreciative they are of one another, though their styles are completely different.

[@SEH221]

Joy's space is so warm and livable. that one get's my vote! Each of their creations are really interesting and places I'd want to visit, but Joy's is where I'd want to live.

[@tbmsilva]

Great video, very inpiring! Would love to see more of these in the future! My favorite design is by far is Noz's, except those windows, the idea behind them is cool, but totally ruins the amazing view.

[@marialuz4109]

I agree, i love everything except the windows, I feel like the color could be added thru the art on the wall and decoration as no not ruin the beautiful classic view.

[@itwhoitisme7810]

I loved the windows but having them colored all the time would be annoying in the long run, maybe blinds that give the same effect would be better. Gives u options

[@karentran5869]

More of these ! I love how to articulate everything and explain their decision on each piece, finishes and such. From a designer point this video is much appreciated listening to these designers

[@maja_papaya]

living in noz's space would be so relaxing. the organic nature of the furniture feels so pleasing...

[@lilitharam44]

Loved watching it, but it didn't take long for all three to go off the rails for me! I liked the room that Darren designed best, without the furniture. The other two were kind of generic looking without the weird furniture. That said, I think these three are awesome designers and I wish them all success!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

You thought Joy’s room had “weird furniture”??

[@lilitharam44]

@@Lucinda_Jackson No, I thought the room was kind of generic. I didn't mind the older lady's furniture choices, they were the best, for me, out of the group. Darren's was my fav, sans furniture. Joy had the best furniture but a generic room colour. Just in my humble opinion.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@lilitharam44 Yes, of course you were stating your opinion. I just was confused about the “weird furniture” comment in regards to Joy’s room since it was pretty standard stuff. Now Roz definitely had weird furniture!

[@lilitharam44]

@@Lucinda_Jackson I agree! I love stained glass but I wouldn't want to obstruct that view with entire windows coloured in! Little too much for everyday use.

[@PLuMUK54]

An interesting insight to what goes on in a designer's head. Joy has produced a design that could be lived in, but it was rather "tame", "ordinary", "safe". I would not walk into that room and go "oh, they've had a designer in!" Noz's design made me think of a nursery school, due to the curves. It is "uncomfortable", "dangerous", "odd". It is not a place to kick off your shoes and curl up with a good book. It would not be long before someone injured themselves by catching their foot in the holes in the rugs. If I walked into this room I'd go "I wonder what the designer's idea was?" Darren's design for the kitchen, and the ceiling are simply gorgeous. The mirror would not be something that I would choose, seeing myself once a day is enough, but I love the effect. My favourite part is the dining area, though, at my age I'm not sure that I be able to get up without help... The only part that I don't like is the carpet, I'm not a fan of carpet. If I walked into this room, I'd go "wow! What an amazing designer!" If had to choose one for my home, it would, though, be Joy's. At least I could live there.

[@memevictory3352]

Love joys design...it's very warm, comforting..

[@poikatiikeri]

Those colored windows!!! 😍😍😍 they need to be made into ”blinds”

[@tmmlis002]

Brilliant concept for a video. Please do it a hundred more times! I'm a design novice and concerned about echo chambers overly influencing my preferences and creative thinking. This kind of video broadens the input so much and is super duper valuable.

[@MaiAmezquita]

Darrens might not be my style but I loved seeing a bold and very unique design.

[@adrianfamisan1176]

I love that at the end they were very professional on how they critique and compliment each other's work. There is no notion that "mine is better than yours". Just pure love and appreciation. Good job! Btw, Joy's design is the most believable and functional really fit for a couple or family. Noz's has a great vibe and energy with a touch of femininity that fits a young professional with an active lifestyle. Darren's design gives me Christian Grey or Lady Gaga vibes. Sophisticated and elegant ready for an after dinner party.

[@ShawnMwenje]

Need a series of this ASAP

[@cheeeeechan]

Noz freaking SOLD me with the "stained glass" window panels... such a fun way to bring personality to a visually minimal, very white space. LOVE!

[@ethan_]

I love all their initial takes on the space. "It's a box," "This has potential," "I love it." So brief but really reflects their styles

[@maryspencer4218]

I love how they hype each other up and compliment each other on specific elements. The sign of true passionate professionals! ❤

[@gwitthuhn]

Noz!! I love her. The whole time I was like, wow this is so Scandi and white on white for her and then BAM! Colored light floods the space. Incredible.

[@ArtHistoryProfessor]

Hands down, for me it's Joy Moyler's design. Best of the best.

[@TrindyForce]

I love that Joy was like "So we've got the budget for some luxurious pieces, he's how I'll put them together," Joy said "well, I am obsessed with this artist so let's pick up a $6,000 light fixture and just put it riiiight there," and Darren said "we're gonna custom order $50,000 worth of silk and mirrors and custom oxidized metal"

[@fionaoliver]

This needs to be a series AD. We are telling you what the people want!

[@Chris-ng8du]

they all tried so hard to not call out Darren for his ugly design and i appreciate that

[@btslesserafimtxt]

I really enjoy this episode. To me, Joy certainly have a design that I love. It is warm and inviting.

[@thedavidj1996]

Though Noz’s design is my favorite, I think all three designers really crafted a beautiful space.

[@alexmccarter6051]

Darrens is really cool, at first I thought the furniture was weird but then the way it was decorated and the way the drapes diffused all the lighting made it work so well.

[@mauroguzman9137]

Please make this a series!

[@astoriarosewood5135]

More of this AD, please! 🤩

[@attention_shopping]

1 is a complete party, what a great space for hosting. 2 is interesting between 1 and 3 in terms of livable but still so bold. 3 is standard good decisions for a living place

[@ashleysnotions]

Please make this a series; I would be so excited to follow it. Noz for the win 🥇.

[@sophien5416]

Darren's space is chef's kiss! I love bringing oriental touches into my own space because it's my background. However, Joy's space is the most approachable. Though I appreciate that the designers could do anything they wanted to the renderings, I know from renovating my own condo, I appreciated how joy worked with the given layout and architectural materials. As a client redoing these things cost $$$ and I like when designers save as much as they can from a sustainability perspective.

[@fmanantsoa]

I feel like the key difference in the designs is the approach, Joy's seems more like a day to day living space, like the rest of the place would be one or two bedrooms and bathrooms. For Noz and Darren, it's clearly more of an entertaining area which would be part of those overly extensive appartements where you have a lot of bedrooms, studies and whatnot, which allows the eccentricity since you may not use the room every single day. But all that being said, a stunning job on the renders !!

[@REDnBLACKnRED]

I wouldn't call Noz's design eccentric if it weren't for the coloured windows, without that it's actually a very tasteful, liveable space.

[@fmanantsoa]

@@REDnBLACKnRED Eccentric doesn't mean it's not tasteful, it just means that it's something you don't see often. And the liveable part, I feel like the shape of the couch, the holes in the rug, that bump on the table require extra attention and maintenance, which if it were something I had to deal with everyday would get annoying really quickly. It's just a feeling I get from the render, maybe in real life it is very easy to maintain, I can't know that for sure. Designing a living space for me is not just about making it look beautiful, it's more about how it's going to make the actual living easy, practical and comfortable. That's why it feels more like an entertaining space than a living area, but it still looks great. Then again, just sharing my thoughts, not trying to convince you of anything.

[@REDnBLACKnRED]

@@fmanantsoa It's definitely not for everybody. In contrast to Joy's design, which is quite conservative, Noz's is definitely more avant-garde, but I think it is still conventional in the sense that it still has a relatively conventional layout, and a normal table, with normal chairs. A uniquely shaped sofa but still a usable sofa nonetheless. A usable island. It's just that the pieces chosen are quite unique. I do agree that the carpets with holes are the most impractical choice there, I thought about how the chairs would get caught in them when moving them, or sit unevenly if one of the legs is in the holes while the others aren't. That is definitely a bit eccentric. The tinted windows definitely push it further in that direction. But I'm sure you'd agree, one wouldn't put it close to being anywhere near as eccentric as Darren's. That one is almost outlandish and impractical in everyday contexts, the sofas, the low table, the carpet, the lights, the mirror (imagine cleaning that space!). I suppose it has a lot to do with personal design philosophy. I for one tend to look for unique, sculptural furniture pieces for my home since I like the idea of everything you spend time using to also be a piece of art in its own right, for your space to be a source of creative inspiration, rather than be purely functional. I just never thought of that as being eccentric, perhaps it is!

[@fmanantsoa]

@@REDnBLACKnRED Totally agree, Darren's is in a league of its own. And you're totally right, it has everything to do with personnal design philosophy, what works for you may totally not for someone else and there's nothing wrong with that, because at the end of the day, if we are talking about the design of personnal space, it has to reflect our taste, priorities, personnalities and all those things, so other's opinions, you do whatever you want those ^^.

[@ebonyr.495]

I like Noz’s the best but they all did so well! I really would love to live any of these spaces. Awesome comparison between artists.

[@corduroycavities]

I would love to see Noz’s room with Darren’s windows!!

[@lena.x1853]

1st blue- gold living room looks beautiful, good contrast palette, interesting shapes, but it’s to intense and can make people tired if stay there longer, it’s ok for hotels but not for flat where you wanna rest. 2nd totally chill, beautiful and soft shapes .oh looks like heaven , and that trick with light omg is the cherry on the top. 3rd -is very practical,I love those chairs. I feel like she is very good to design places where everyone could live, function. Her designs are always well thoughtful.

[@xXDinzyyXx]

I really like this approach of videos with multiple designers/artists. What I love the most is the way they explain WHY the decision was made, makes you see their perspective so much more. It makes you think. Thank you ! And amazing production ofc

[@christinarandrianarivo3273]

At first, I thought Noz's design was the nicest and Darren's the least that I liked but when I saw the final results, it turned out that Darren's design was just lit and is the best of the three. It's just so inviting, unique, and I love the contrast he uses with colors, shapes, views, heights and especially how he puts them altogether. Noz's design started off promising but it ended up all too white with no contrast neither in shape nor color; the windows are great but don't give the same effect. Joy's design is very classic, elegant, and chic but no plus.

[@pascalemillet3344]

I love Darre’s table and fringed low seating, I love Noz’s floating island, her windows, and her choice of lighting and her SOFA. The chairs in Joy’s design with the caning feeling inviting and warm

[@qellawrence8352]

absolutely loved this video. It showed three very different ways to go about this space. A first I didn't really like Darren's design because I couldn't see where he was going with it all but that definitely changed when I seen the finished product. Playing with the height in the room was absolutely genius especially with that light piece about the sitting area. Noz's design was brilliant with not only the island but with the art pieces as well and the stained glass windows were what really sold me. Joy's design was something that I can see myself actually buying because of all the geometrical aspects, they just happen to be my favorite.

[@redrose7189]

I absolutely love Noz’s design… So stunning! It’s such an art piece itself and I love the window and clay art on the walls

[@jolieusher]

Noz was the BEST so Cozy and inviting and dream-like. Darren’s was cool too, very sleek and luxurious wow.

[@mei8511]

When they showed us Darren's previous projects in the introduction, I got the feeling that I would like his output the most. And I was right! I really like classic/traditional East Asian and European styles of architecture and interior design, so I'm in love with the mixture of the low seating and the paintings in those ornate frames in his work. The atmosphere of his design is just... I can't even find the words to describe how much I love it. I'm genuinely considering making my living are look like this when I move (though maybe with different sofas instead of the ones Darren used)

[@sharonthebaron88]

I love Noz' lighting, but Darren's design is totally my style!

[@ricardorojas4057]

Wow! I really loved this type of video,I hope they make more videos like this. It was very interesting to see how each designer had a very different vision of the same space and it was awesome to see the entire process. Darren’s is so bold and sophisticated Noz’s is so minimalistic and slick Joy’s is very homey and modern The three projects look incredible! They are very talented!

[@SunshineandSand88]

I absolutely love Noz's design for this! Very understated but still very luxe. Neutrals and organic shapes - my kind of decor for sure. But also love Joy's simple, mid century modern inspired design and Darren's jaw-dropping art deco-esque extravagance. What I love about these three are 1) how much thoughtful art and design pieces Noz incorporates as an homage to amazing craftswomen and how she ties everything so effortlessly, 2) how much Darren literally transforms a blank canvas into a multi-sensory masterpieces with his brilliant mind and gorgeously layered approach, and 3) how much warmth Joy injects into her designs and how much she thinks about the actual lived experiences of someone occupying the space. Best trio ever

[@Poemeloentje3310]

I loved how appreciative they are of each others design.

[@Cookie_moonlove]

I really like this! This gives much more inspiration than seeing 3 designers do 3 different spaces. All 3 designs were amazing in their own way and I'm really interested in looking into each of the designers now. I would love to see more of this!
