Inside NBA Star Jaylen Brown's Sleek Boston Penthouse | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Jaylen Brown asks everyone to take their shoes off before entering. Beyond the door, his Boston penthouse holds an antique harp, a television with folding sound-panel wings and a championship trophy displayed around a structural pillar.

The Architectural Digest tour has drawn nearly 460,000 views in its first eleven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a regular video. The comments are several times busier than a typical first day, too, with viewers picking out everything from the bathroom technology to the family artwork.

Billed as James Bond-inspired, the apartment has plenty of gadgets to support the comparison. Brown's bedroom contains recovery equipment, including a hyperbaric chamber. His remodeled bathroom combines dark Italian marble, gold fixtures, an oversized soaking tub and a smart toilet. Viewers have practical questions about that last purchase; one commenter working in HVAC is more concerned about access to the equipment behind the chamber.

But the less technological objects give this Open Door episode its particular character. Harpist Li Shan Tan plays the gilded antique, while a John Coltrane record sits among the personal mementos at Brown's bar. His Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy occupies a floating table wrapped around a building pillar, turning an architectural obstacle into a display.

The tour ends with something more personal than the gadgets or trophies: artist Simon Berger's cracked-glass portrait of Brown's grandmother. It is a family tribute made in a material that belongs comfortably among the penthouse's polished surfaces.
