Inside Joshua Weissman's Minimalist Texas Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Today, AD is welcomed by chef and KZbinr Joshua Weissman to tour his minimalist home in Austin, Texas. It’s often said the kitchen is the heart of the home, and with nearly 9 million subscribers following his gastronomical KZbin content, Weissman’s kitchen doesn’t disappoint. The KZbin star’s knives (his prized possessions) are proudly displayed along magnetized blocks, and Italian Carrara countertops add a luxurious feel. But more important than style is the function of his space. Though maybe not the most beautiful of stoves, Weissman cannot beat the performance of his Wolf. And then there’s Weissman’s cabinets, organized to perfection to save time and thought when he could be cooking up a storm. “The number one thing that’s important about a really great kitchen is not its size or how nice it is; it is about how you organize yourself and how you operate in that kitchen, so that you can actually enjoy the process of cooking,” he says. “Instead of having to think so much, I can think with my eyes.”

Joshua Weissman having seven copies of his own cookbook is the most Joshua Weissman thing ever

[@Kanzaz]

i wonder how often he opens them

[@fredles1]

marketing 101

[@peasndough]

I remember when he refused to write one

[@loveofplantswestindies4820]

I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was funny he had so many. But, upon thinking about it maybe he has them to be able to gift to guests if they come over or something!

You can make it too

I Still remember the time when he puts the camera on his cupboard and film there, this guy has come a long wayyy

[@Mat-qo3hh]

I just realized he doesn't do that anymore 😭I loved those cupboard openings

[@antzpantz]

Surely he's just green-screened himself in his lounge room?

[@KnowOne111]

Nah he grew up rich

[@sarahlacorte1364]

Love how sleek and modern it is, but I feel like it needs just a touch more warmth and softness. The bed is screaming for a beautiful rug underneath to match that awesome art piece. I love all that natural light and the blend of indoors and outdoors. The vibe really matched Josh's practicality and polish.

[@TheLounika21]

Soooo true for the rug. And the couch in the library/bar, so uncortable also 😔

[@sneezing_panda]

@@TheLounika21 It really ties the room together...

[@chrism45]

The bedroom is really small and empty. Looks like it was supposed to be an office and they changed their mind later.

this is the biggest minimalist house I've ever seen

[@Kniveschowyas]

I don’t see minimalism, it just looks like a showroom

[@tamiwithani]

Minimalist is also a style. It's very muted tones, not too many knickknacks and embellishments. Just modern and sleek.

[@GoSlowTaco]

@@tamiwithaniwhy not just call it modern and sleek then because this is not minimalist.

[@GroillaMan]

@@GoSlowTacobecause it sounds more intriguing and most people don’t know the actual definition of minimalist

[@tamiwithani]

@@GoSlowTaco because 'modern and sleek' is the definition of the style movement called 'minimalism'. If there wasn't a style movement called minimalism, i could understand using two or three adjectives to describe something, but a word exists for that. It is minimalist in the design sense and that preceded this 'i only own 3 shirts and sleep on the ground ' minimalism

[@bunnynooryani7020]

‘’This feels so clean, I think it might even be dirty.’’ I´m with you, bro.

[@kitchenhack3r811]

Oh crazy I toured this house a couple years ago before they bought it! First AD house I've been in.

[@ronaldo19832]

I drove by that house so many times lol crazy indeed. It’s a great construction. Definitely went up a lot in price since when they built it.

[@mschein10]

@@ronaldo19832 How much did it originally cost and what did it sell for?

[@tuyenhoang5546]

Probably over 2-3M given it’s Austin?

Omg… he’s officially super super big 😅😂 I never thought I would see him on AD

[@miaelledge]

I've always wanted to be on AD. It's amazing to see Josh running the show! I used to wait outside for my carpool with Weissman back in high school. It really goes to show how far a person can take themselves. I'm so proud of him. Great setup in Austin. I'm sure he grills a lot.

[@josephj-dw6sn]

I find your house extremely well thought out, materials, ceiling, kitchen, outdoor, and most of all I love your "organized" way of being, minimalist, and yet perfectly organized. I also believe that at least 75% of cooking is planing, organizing, preparing, and the way you have everything "at fingertips" and visible is just a dream! Same for the other rooms as well. You certainly have a great character as well!

[@bbrowne9855]

Rather than the AD requisite bowl of lemons on the counter, you have a yellow toy car.

[@jimmyadaro]

Wait, the requisite what?

[@RoxaneJ14]

I know, I was SSSSOOOOO ready for the lemons/limes!!!

[@bbrowne9855]

@@RoxaneJ14 I think he should have a bowl of toy Lambos on the counter instead lol

There's the lemon comment I came here searching for! Props to Josh for bucking the forced trend!

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

Minimalist but bigger because you know, it’s Texas!

[@tamiwithani]

minimalist the visual movement not the 'i own three underwear and sleep on the ground' minimalist

[@gabrielleroux2333]

It’s not about big or small, it’s about not being overstuffed

[@T22m3]

⁠@@tamiwithaniThat’s the most hipster way of hijacking “minimalist.” This house is not minimalist (and neither is sleeping on the ground, since you went extreme with your comparison).

[@levezze]

@@T22m3 There's nothing "hipster" about Architecture terminology and styles. They existed before you were born. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk.

[@daniell8201]

Love that Josh made it like this. Hes such a great guy! Been following him forever. Love your house and glad you’re the one in it! You earned it

[@kungfukaity]

I literally toured this house 5ish years ago when it had just finished being built! It was part of an Austin Modern Homes tour.

[@ladyleaner200]

WHO is it built by and the architect? Location? Hubs wants to build one similar!

[@KERO0988]

@@ladyleaner200 This is already the 2nd comment where you asked for the location. You're creepy and weird, you don't need to know his address so that your husband builds something similar. He already said which architect built it in the video and you don't need to know more about the location other than the fact that it's in Austin, Texas. Stop being so creepy, you sound like a potential stalker.

[@yt.silentknight]

my first discover of Josh was him making croissants like 4-6 years ago. he's come a long way 🫡😭😭

[@jamied8667]

That Matthew McConaughey impression doe 😮

[@steixeirajr]

Nothing but respect for Joshua Weissman, he found an incredibly unique voice and style, entertaining and with cred but also very funny. He's going places

[@katiew.4861]

When Josh said "I got this on Etsy," and "I found this at an antique store..." Yes!! He is one with the people. I knew I liked him for a reason lol

If only Josh were this chill on his own channel...

[@LyonTheGreat]

He used to be!

[@heavyq]

Josh fangirling over Sonic ice is 100% relatable.

In the end not really interested in the interior design, but impressed by the sonic machine and his curated skill for fan art. Didn’t regret the time spent here

[@cherylrleigh1912]

Just absolutely gorgeous! Well done, and congratulations, Joshua!

[@simplychaff1875]

Papa’s house is actually just a West Elm showroom 😂 I’m actually surprised with myself that I instantly recognized all the pieces

[@faithbasedliving9391]

“Anyone can organize their kitchen like this” Sir, we don’t all have that amount of space.

Very tasteful not only in the modern rendition of architecture, but of decor choices that are just exquisite. Fantastic display of personality and style!

Serene and beautiful. Love how the backyard and trees are an extension of the house. Also, a second living room with minimal books, meant for relaxing = a den. Should definitely call it a den.

Agreed..most modern and industrial design gives me tgis feeling

It feels like that for you but not for him. He even talks about were he got stuff and is obviously personally connected to the interior. Its not your personality but that is more an opinion than a fact.

[@MERCHIODOS]

To me these minimalist modern houses look more like an art gallery then a house. Like where's the warmth? These types of houses doesn't feel inviting at all
