Inside Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard's Brooklyn Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Haidee welcome to the house come on into the parlor where the fire is this used to actually have a classic regular fireplace mantel of which this is left over and we put our own bespoke fireplace up we actually heat the house just with those a lot of the time because we have four of them and come on in here we also built this what's cool about this is this is actually the width of a full-size full-size a lot of people have slept there sometimes I like to think about like in an emergency how many people could sleep in our house yeah well one two three right here yeah so we both obviously like movies a lot we make movies one thing we decided to do is underneath the ceiling put in this screen even during the daytime it kind of blocks out the lights it projects from this other side over here they can see what we've been watching Breaking Away come on who remembers Breaking Away when we bought the house we had just seen that movie the lives of others the lives of others we've just seen the half of the movie the lives of others with these like East German artists and we kind of got inspired by them so we craft papered the walls at one point the idea I think was that people would draw all over it and then you just read a good read craft paper we actually have reams of craft paper in the basement but you just end up wrapping Christmas presents oh yeah I don't say this but this is unfinished we had a fantasy of like making some amazing well we never found it I mean I think that's the way with a lot of this us is that we kind of did it as we went we didn't do it in one fell swoop we've sort of enjoyed doing it piecemeal this room is the music room so do you consider this guitar there's an amp over there this piano behind you there's a theremin which I played the theremin in a movie the idea in this room is to take inspiration from other artists as you make art this is a Matthew Barney piece that he traded me for seven work I did on a film of his my good friend Jordan played with Ornette Coleman and this is from score he did called a girl named rainbow and you can see he wrote Ornette the knowledge of goodness question mark Peter I don't really know what that means but it's something to think about as you sit here plucking away at the piano we created this hearth piece we had it as a coffee table for a number of years yeah I guess so and then we turned it into this cars we sort of like mixing things like that you know yes that's a little bit of history for us like a lot else in this house several things in this room were repurposed this sink was actually here but we put new legs on it and we found this tile and we retiled it and this is our amazing bathtub this is a teak bath it's amazing it's made by Scottish barrel makers and we've had it for 10-12 years right yes a favorite room okay like this room yes this is our office I've really enjoyed sharing the space and like working at the same time we used to have separate desks and then we sort of landed on sharing a desk we do have our own separate sections like that's your section and this is my section these are all magnetic and I just hang up pictures and ideas and things that are inspiring me and then that was a gift I gave you a Peters really into soccer this is like the two greatest sportsman of all time this is our bedroom this is another working fireplace it's really nice to have a fireplace in your bedroom we do also have like a lot of teak throughout the house so there's a built in teak unit I like the idea of being on a boat and having to have everything have its own little spot you know the way you have to be organized so this is dinah dinah believe it or not is only two years old and already quite massive but Dinah is a rescue I think it's really the only way to get a pet there's so many pets out there waiting to be adopted and why do it any other way this is our steam shower it has Heath tiles they're from California which is where I'm found it's also nice to have a big window and also to be able to shower me up so high like you're kind of in the trees yeah but we always feel like this room is a tough one and a brownstone in this particular area it's the garden level it doesn't get a lot of light this is the north side so we sorta felt like just go with the den vibe you know just to like not try to pretend that it's something that it isn't this is a dark denne section yeah this becomes like an area to read a book a place to do your homework while people are yeah we have two little kids you know so it's like a great place for kids to play yeah you can stash stuff under there we have a lot of places these floors are actually another thing that was reclaimed and put in this is worm chestnut built all this kitchen and we cook a lot and we're often in here and this is also all teak this is another was fireplace insert and one thing with so nice about this we often heat this floor just with this fireplace because a lot of this heats up yeah this is also Heath tiles also from California hyung and yai radiates heat I love this and the other thing is you know in a brownstone we're going up and down all the time to be able to close the door to a fireplace and still see a beautiful fire but it's safe you know yeah thanks for coming by yeah
