What can you find in New York City's archives? Do the names John Lennon and Abraham Lincoln sound familiar? Records dating back hundreds of years have been meticulously saved and restored and are available in person or just a click away.

Today, AD is welcomed by Chef Bobby Flay to tour his stylish New York City loft. After more than a decade of living in the space, the celebrity chef and restaurateur teamed up with interior designer Olivia Jane of Olivia Jane Design to give his apartment a full renovation. The pair aimed to enhance the open-air loft feel of the apartment, which is located in a century-old warehouse. Darker colors, warm tones, and vintage furniture create a cozy ambience while honoring the space’s open-plan design. Naturally, the heart of the home is a chef-worthy kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances, clever storage, and plenty of counter space–perfect for cooking, entertaining, and unwinding.

The Breuer was always a radical premise: architecture as proof that ideas matter. Its bold forms, coffered ceilings, and off-kilter windows challenged the city to see differently. Now, Sotheby’s returns to Madison Avenue to place the world’s most powerful engine of cultural value — collecting, selling, and shaping art — inside this uncompromising modernist icon.

Inside, the building comes alive again, calibrated for the 21st century without losing the genius of Marcel Breuer’s design. Galleries, auction spaces, and new cultural intersections coexist within its sculptural walls, proving that architecture can do more than house art: it can amplify it. What happens here next will ripple far beyond these walls.
