The Brooklyn bachelor pad of Vincent Ho is proof positive that marching to the beat of one's own drum pays dividends.
Having grown up in what he unapologetically describes as a Southern California McMansion, Ho was determined to find an interior language all his own for his first home.

The former CEO of acclaimed fashion label Peter Do, Ho was acutely drawn to the idea of worldbuilding and using every inch of his 750-square-foot home to communicate his personal values, much like a creative director might use design to put their own stamp on a brand's retail spaces. Ho envisioned his apartment as a series of tableaux that visitors would move through, imagining how it might be perceived from different vantage points even looking in from the street below.
