RH Estates Brings a New World of Collectible Design and Luxury Living to Greenwich
Greenwich has welcomed a new destination for exceptional interiors as RH introduces RH Estates, The Gallery on Greenwich Avenue, the first North American expression of its elevated residential concept and the first standalone RH Estates gallery.
Spanning nearly 20,000 square feet across two floors, the destination brings collectible furniture, interior architecture, hospitality and design culture together within the Greenwich Avenue Historic District, creating an environment conceived for clients who view the home as an expression of personal identity, craftsmanship and refined living.
For The 1%, this approach reflects the growing importance of the residence within the luxury ecosystem. According to Altrata’s World Ultra Wealth Report 2026, the global Ultra High Net Worth population reached approximately 556,850 individuals in 2025, collectively holding more than $63.8 trillion in wealth. This audience continues to shape demand across prime residential real estate, collectible design, fine art and bespoke interiors, with homes increasingly conceived as highly personal environments where architecture, furniture and art form a unified expression of the owner’s lifestyle and cultural interests.
RH Estates Arrives in North America
Opened on September 10, RH Estates occupies a prominent Greenwich Avenue address behind an elegant limestone Beaux Arts facade. The architectural character of the building establishes an immediate connection between the gallery and the historic identity of Greenwich, creating an appropriate setting for a concept centred on sophisticated residential design and exceptional craftsmanship.
The opening represents another stage in the international development of RH Estates following presentations in Milan and London. RH initially introduced the concept during Salone del Mobile at RH Milan before bringing it to RH London in Mayfair, establishing a design language intended to serve exceptional residences and sophisticated clients across major luxury markets. A second standalone RH Estates gallery is planned for Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles in 2027, while additional international expansion is expected to extend the concept into new destinations.
For Ultra High Net Worth homeowners, the gallery model provides an opportunity to experience interiors as complete compositions. Furniture, materials, lighting, decorative objects and spatial planning can be considered together, allowing clients and designers to imagine how individual pieces contribute to the wider architectural identity of a residence.
Greenwich Becomes a Complete RH Destination
The new gallery forms part of what RH describes as its first complete RH Ecosystem, with three complementary destinations located within walking distance of one another. RH Estates sits across the street from RH Outdoor Greenwich and close to RH Greenwich, The Gallery at the Historic Post Office, creating a concentrated luxury environment encompassing interiors, outdoor living and hospitality.
This approach aligns naturally with the lifestyles of The 1%, where the experience surrounding a luxury brand can carry as much significance as the individual object. A residence may incorporate bespoke furniture, collectible design, important artworks, landscape architecture and hospitality spaces within a single creative vision, encouraging luxury companies to engage with clients through complete environments rather than individual categories.
Greenwich provides a particularly relevant setting for this philosophy. The area has long been associated with substantial private residences and sophisticated international wealth, creating a natural audience for interiors conceived around scale, craftsmanship and highly curated living.
Collectible Design Meets Exceptional Craftsmanship
The Home as a Personal Collection
For Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, interior design increasingly participates in the wider culture of collecting. Furniture can exist alongside contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography and decorative arts, creating residences where every acquisition contributes to a personal visual narrative.
Research from the Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2025 found that Ultra High Net Worth collectors with wealth above $50 million allocated an average of 28 percent of their wealth to art. The scale of this commitment illustrates the importance of cultural assets within significant private fortunes and helps explain why residential design and art collecting increasingly intersect within the same creative conversation.
A carefully considered interior can provide the architectural framework for an important collection, allowing furniture, materials and artwork to communicate through scale, texture and composition. Abstract art can play a particularly natural role within these environments, where colour, form and movement establish visual relationships with furniture and architecture while contributing an individual expression of the collector’s taste.
Hospitality Becomes Part of the Design Experience
RH Estates extends beyond furniture through the introduction of Cucina Angelina, an 88 seat Italian restaurant named in honour of the mother of RH chairman and CEO Gary Friedman. The restaurant incorporates hospitality directly into the gallery experience, encouraging visitors to spend time within the RH universe while experiencing the brand’s interpretation of dining, atmosphere and residential culture.
Hospitality has become an increasingly prominent component of experiential luxury, particularly among brands seeking to establish deeper relationships with clients. Restaurants, private salons and social spaces create environments where design can be experienced through everyday rituals, allowing the aesthetic philosophy of a brand to extend into dining and entertainment.
Within the context of RH Estates, this integration also mirrors the priorities of exceptional private homes, where dining rooms, kitchens, terraces and entertaining spaces often receive the same level of creative attention as formal living areas and private art galleries.
From Greenwich to Milan and London
The Greenwich opening forms part of RH’s broader development of destination galleries in internationally significant design capitals. RH Milan occupies a restored eighteenth century palazzo on Corso Venezia and extends across seven levels, while RH London introduced the Estates concept within Mayfair, connecting the brand with another established centre of global wealth, architecture and design.
These destinations demonstrate how luxury retail is evolving toward environments that combine architecture, cultural context, hospitality and product discovery. Historic buildings become part of the storytelling, allowing the physical setting to contribute to the perception of craftsmanship and permanence surrounding the collections.
For The 1%, these spaces also offer a familiar language of private discovery. The experience resembles visiting a carefully curated residence, gallery or collector’s home, where objects are presented within an environment designed to reveal their scale, materiality and relationship with surrounding architecture.
Designing the Cultural Residence of The 1%
The arrival of RH Estates in Greenwich reflects a wider transformation in how exceptional residences are conceived. For Ultra High Net Worth homeowners, the home increasingly serves simultaneously as private sanctuary, social environment, architectural statement and cultural collection, bringing together furniture, art and craftsmanship within a deeply personal expression of lifestyle.
This convergence gives collectible design an increasingly meaningful role within the world of luxury. A sculptural chair, handcrafted table or bespoke upholstered piece can establish a dialogue with contemporary and abstract art while contributing to the architectural rhythm of the residence, allowing individual objects to become part of a complete cultural environment.
With nearly 20,000 square feet dedicated to this vision, RH Estates, The Gallery on Greenwich Avenue presents a sophisticated interpretation of contemporary luxury living for collectors who value provenance, craftsmanship and exceptional design. As RH expands the concept from Greenwich to Los Angeles and additional international destinations, the gallery offers a compelling vision of the residence as one of the most personal expressions of The 1% lifestyle, where architecture, collectible design, hospitality and art come together within a world shaped around the individual collector.
