- What's up AD?
Welcome to the desert.
I'm Devon Booker. This is Haven.
Come check out the house. Come on Haven.
[upbeat music]
This is the great room.
I had a wonderful team help me on this.
Clements Design team helped me bring this vision to life.
The mountains coming in right from outside
so you get beautiful views
and this coffee table took a lot to get in.
It's a big, heavy piece of granite slab
so it was a process getting in here.
Fireplaces get used more than you would think in Arizona.
You know, the winters are cold, so
and I'm from Michigan originally
so I grew up around a fire so I keep the fire on.
Come to the living room.
[upbeat music]
If I'm having the team over, I'm having an event
at the house this is usually where we tend
to watch any type of game.
You know, my team's big.
Everybody's usually over 6'5" at least
so this couch fills up pretty quick.
The whole entire space I wanted to be inviting,
I wanted to be comforting, and I wanted to be grounded.
It's architecturally a modern house and I did didn't want
to just throw modern furniture in here,
I wanted to feel collected, feel like pieces came together,
some materials came together.
So when I get home I like to just lounge,
lay down and just kick it.
[upbeat music]
When I have the team over, this bad boy right here
gets used the most, we play this little a game called Booray
on all of our flights, so sometimes after the flight's over,
the game carries over to here.
But you can also play UNO here, we play Spades,
we play any type of game.
We custom built this table to my liking,
put these nice sweet chairs next to it that, you know,
gives it a nice feeling and texture to it.
I think the bar next to the poker table go hand in hand.
It's perfect, that's my trick.
I give my teammates a couple drinks
and get them going, give them some confidence.
A lot of tequila in here.
[upbeat music]
So here's the kitchen. I don't do too much cooking.
Shout out to my chef Ryan, prepares unbelievable meals
for us all the time.
You know, I talk about having the team over a lot,
you know, that's kind of my mindset around this house is,
you know, make a place that's inviting
and have areas where you can, you know,
talk and chill with each other and this is one of the areas
where, you know, that tends to happen.
And you know, it's very spacious two islands in here,
the marble top, very cohesive, I love how they hit off
of each other and some fresh picked limes from the backyard.
[upbeat music]
Now we're headed to the dining room
and this is where dinner is served.
This is actually my seat right here.
You know, I have my family over a lot,
I have my friends over a lot.
And I like to do dinner, you know, as a collective group.
I like to sit down, I don't want to be all over the house
so we keep it in one spot.
And these chairs are unbelievable.
They have a mid-century vibe, same with the chandelier,
both mid-century, it's a beautiful hint to what I like.
As you can see, the wine cellar right off to the right.
I'm all over with the wine to be completely honest.
You know, I took a couple trips to Napa Valley,
that's where I started and now I'm just exploring, you know,
I have a lot of friends that are into wine, so they put me
on the new things and you know I like the process.
Like I said earlier, it's about conversation
and I have some great conversations
over some good wine bottles.
And last but obviously not least, this is the James Turrell,
probably my favorite piece in the house.
And if you stare at it long enough,
it starts to look like a floating box.
Come on bro. Done for the day, Haven?
[upbeat music]
Onto the office.
This is where the deals get done.
No, funny thing about this office,
it used to be my gaming room.
So, you know, it took a lot for me to grow up
and transform this into a proper office
but I'm glad I did it.
We started this room with this couch.
It's like a vintage Italian leather couch
and we built around it.
Obviously you see the strange shaped desk here,
piece of art hanging and just the materials like we talked
about earlier, you know, it feels warm and cozy and,
you know, I feel it's part of maturing
but I did love my gaming set up in here.
[upbeat music]
This is my bedroom, you know, just keeping the textures,
keeping it warm, keeping it grounded.
You know, I like to clear my head here
especially when it's time after a long day just to rest
and ease up a little bit.
Obviously, the big staple of this room was the bed.
I've never had a bed this big in my life
but I got it custom made
and I don't do much in here but sleep.
[upbeat music]
This is my closet and this is my sneaker collection.
A lot of people always ask me, how do I go about collecting?
I used to be a lot bigger sneakerhead than I am now
to be completely honest, I used to wait on release dates.
I remember as a kid, saving a lot of money up
to get any shoe that released at the time
but now I get too many.
And you know, the process for me is putting them in storage.
So try to keep it at this amount.
Yeah, if you can see these ones up top,
the white and blue ones, these are some 1985
custom Jordan ones which are like an art piece for me.
That's how I feel about shoes.
Here's another one right here from 1985.
I know they look used and beat down
but gives it a lot of character for me.
You know, I don't switch it up very much as you know,
a lot of people know in the sneaker world.
Converse is probably my favorite shoe.
[upbeat music]
Here we are in the garage. I'm a classic car collector.
I think it's a family tradition for me that, you know,
I've took on and honed in on.
These two right here, I know they look very similar,
which my mom doesn't understand
but this is my daily Grand National that I drive day to day
and this is a GNX version.
They did only, I think, 547 of these things.
So I don't drive it much, but it looks good sitting here.
People always ask me, what's my favorite?
And it's like picking your favorite child.
You just don't do that but I'll take you all the way here
to the end to show you my favorite. [chuckles]
This right here is Pretty Penny.
This is what I drove to the game, one of the finals.
This is a '59 Impala Ragtop, all original
so how it came in '59 and this is what introduced me
to collecting cars, this is my first piece.
I got got this two years ago now.
I found her in Utah and you know, me and my friends,
we get the back stories on these cars
and that's where most of my conversation is.
My grandpa, I remember going to his house growing up.
He'd be underneath this car every time I got there
and you know, I never got that privilege to spend time
with him in the garage, but he loves that I'm collecting
and hopefully one day I get a warehouse
and even expand even further.
I usually keep it Chevy, you know, I have a lot of Impalas,
this a '59, I have a, the '96 is right here,
the black cherry one but this just brought the house.
[Devin chuckles]
[upbeat music]
Well, this is the backyard. This is the pool.
Not much of a backyard but I actually use this pool
very often whether it's for recovery or for entertainment.
And I like how it's set up, you know, it's courtyard style
and I feel like every section is kind of facing
towards the pool so, you know, we have a good time out here.
Our projector screen it comes down right over that box
over there and you can watch it from the pool,
you can watch it from the hot tub,
you can even see it from inside the house so,
you know, it takes up the whole backyard.
Once it gets dark, it lights up pretty well.
Now you come into the game house.
[upbeat music]
This area used to be a proper guest house
with a kitchen and two bedrooms and we came here,
we just blew it all up and just wanted to make it
an inviting, comfortable space.
You know, this serves many purpose for us.
It's a theater, it's a studio.
We play loud music back here.
And really we just chill, this is the hangout.
And even though this is a big couch,
you'd be surprised how quick it can fill up
with a couple seven footers on it.
I'm actually not that crazy of a candy eater
but when it's sitting in front of you just like this
every single day, I dibble and dabble, I'm not gonna lie.
This is the pool hall.
I don't know if you can tell, I got, repping my college
with the Big Blue Nation Kentucky pool balls.
I mean I have a competitive team and we like activities
and we like to gamble a little bit here and there,
so between the poker table, this pool table,
the video games we play on the screen in there,
we have activities to do so we keep it interesting,
we switch it up around here.
[upbeat music]
All right, AD, it's been real.
I appreciate you guys visiting me.
I appreciate you coming out to the desert.
I have a poker game to get to
but you guys are invited back whenever.
Watch out bud.
