Inside Celebrity Homes
The Top 5 Architectural Digest celebrity house tours featuring microcement
For over five years Architectural Digest have been inviting us to glimpse inside the homes of the rich and famous in their Open Door series, and unsurprisingly many of them feature microcement. Here are our top five.
Troye Sivan’s Eclectic Melbourne Terrace
At the top of our list is Troye Sivan’s beautiful Victorian home. Constructed in 1970 and restored in 2020 by Flack Studios, the house maintains its historical character by honouring the original architectural structure. Elevated by a beautiful collection of art and furniture sourced from Australian artists and designers, the singer has created a space that he describes as “unquestionably Australian”. The bathroom features our beautiful custom-coloured X-Bond Microcement to create a unique room that has to be our favourite space within this house.
Dakota Johnson’s Midcentury Modern Home
This sophisticated Los Angeles residence sets a laidback mid-century inspired tone. A carefully curated mix of vintage and modern furniture contributes to a homely, lived-in feel. From the wooden panels adorning the living space to the microcement walls embellishing the bathroom, Johnson’s home champions natural materials.
Ray Romano’s Desert Hideaway
Drawing inspiration from the rustic charm of Italian country homes, Ray Romano’s desert hideaway embodies a casual kind of luxury. It features the farmhouse aesthetic typical to Californian architecture, complete with textural rendered walls referencing stucco haciendas. The infinity pool takes the cake as the standout feature.
Alicia Keys’ Art Filled Modernist Home
This ultra-modern mansion featuring floor-to-ceiling windows has been described by many as a masterpiece. The juxtaposition of contemporary art and furniture with the functional concrete finish of the walls creates a surprisingly timeless interior for such a modernist building.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Boundary-Defying Space
Kim Kardashian’s famously minimalist house features white-on-white surfaces, open spaces, and clean lines. The textured microcement walls add an extra dimension to the otherwise stripped-back spaces, while the carefully curated selection of furniture and art pieces help to accentuate the architectural, gallery-like aesthetic.
