Unlock the Design Secrets of Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott's NYC Apartment

A Collaborative Design Journey

“Teaming up with Jonathan made my job so much easier,” says AD100 designer Young Huh, who partnered with Property Brother Jonathan Scott on the New York City duplex he shares with partner Zooey Deschanel and their two young children. “He has a tremendous understanding of architecture, and he obviously knows construction, which meant we could jump straight to the details.”

From the over-the-top moldings to that elephant topiary, Young Huh and Scott reveal the sources and strategies behind the couple’s Manhattan pied-à-terre. The project showcases how collaboration between a skilled designer and a construction-savvy client can streamline the design process and focus on intricate details that make a space unique.
