Tasteful Friends: Tour Giorgio Armani’s House in Antigua

What’s the point of cliffside? No beach... What’s the point?

Good hooker dumping?

It's too close to the water...I always think it's gonna fall in. It probably will...eventually

I like the house. I don't like the decor. Yes, it's very luxe and very Armani but it's so cold and sterile for a vacation house in Antigua.

It doesn't have to be full on Tiki Hut but it could be a bit more relaxed and beachy.

A nice wood sign that said ‘BEACH’ would be cute, maybe could hot glue some seashells on it...?

Looks like a hotel.

The puppet from Ed Sullivan owns a house in Antigua?

A few of his Armani Casa furniture pieces can look good (I own a couple of his lamps and quite a few of his Murano glass pieces), but an entire room of Armani's drab furniture often looks really cold and unappealing. This is a great example of that.

Ugh. Demonstrative Good Taste run amok.

The lanai at pic 6 is nice, and so is the poolside area. The rest is a joyless lead blanket of gray -- what a waste.

But it's still better than what he did to his Swiss chalet, where all those angles and that dark wood make an already cold environment absolutely glacial. Talk about working against a space! AD has a feature in that one too, if you want to check it out.

But I still love his clothes.

All of Armani's heliotropic homes are the same, and we've seen them before, since 1980 at least: the same blue-grey palette, the same shadowy rooms with the same shadows from the same venetian blinds/plantation shutters, the same tailored suit fabrics.

So luxurious, so boring. This is what happens when you design on principal and unwavering rules, you get a collection of vastly expensive houses in some of the most desirable spots in the world and all look exactly the same, just like the Giorgio Armani Hotel Collection...Milan, Dubai, and not near you soon.

That home could be in Milan, or Moscow, or Dubai, or Beijing, or London, or Frankfurt

Antigua, ugh

The location & outdoor living are beautiful. The indoor living does not match a beach house. I realize Armani loves his grays and near austere decor but for a beach house I'd rather embrace the light & airy with a lot of whites. The interior is just to gloomy for the beach IMO.

It's oddly drab, given the fabulous location. And the couches and living rooms seat 50. I guess he wasn't into intimate dinner parties.

Orgies, I guess.

All of his homes look like retail spaces or hotels.

Nice to look at and they photograph well.

Too sterile to live in though.

Nice home but at 86 all those steps must be a killer.

Seems pretty masculine to me.

Which could explain its lack of appeal to the DL.

Of course, the critics live in a place such as this. 250 sq ft. 8th floor walk-up in Queens.
