Special Spaces is a television series that tours the most beautiful rooms in America and meets the fascinating people who occupy them.

From historical gems like The Octagon Library in Richard Jenrette’s Edgewater estate, to a spectacular TriBeCa loft re-imagined with modern lines, to retreats in the Colorado Rockies designed to perfection, Special Spaces takes viewers inside and explains how these great homes came to be. With a designer’s eye for details, we examine the art and architecture, and explain how the combinations reflect the personality of the owner.

Special Spaces is a journey, which starts at the front door then walks, not only through amazing rooms, but also through the imaginations of the designers and owners who create these vital spaces.
