While the styles run the gamut, each of the occupants impressed us with their unique vision for their spaces.

This issue, as well as the 20 that preceded it, could not have happened without the homeowners, artists, designers, and entrepreneurs who shared their stories with us. For that, we’re grateful. We are also immensely appreciative of the talented freelancers who we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with over the years; some that we worked with on our debut issue are in the current masthead, too.

And of course, there’s you: our readers. Whether you’ve been with us since Issue No. 1/Fall 2010, or discovered us at some point along the way, thank you for being an integral part of Antholog y. We are honored that you’ve brought us onto your coffee tables and bookshelves—and into your lives.

we weren’t sure what to expect. While we both had journalism and publishing experience, we had never run a magazine before—never handled subscriptions, wholesale distribution, or many of the behind-the-scenes responsibilities that we became tasked with, along with writing and assigning stories, coordinating photo shoots, and producing a periodical. But one thing we knew for sure: We wanted to make a beautiful and thoughtful lifestyle magazine with a narrative approach. In print.

It’s been an incredible adventure, both personally and professionally, culminating in the final issue that you now hold in your hands.

For our closing theme, it seemed fitting to focus on those who are enterprising and innovative. To that end, we headed to upstate New York to interview an Emmy award-winning director at the farm where he likes to hang out and ride horses (“The Auteur,” page 68). And we profiled a trio of entrepreneurial women who are finding new ways to merge technology with design (“Designing Women,” page 75).

The homes featured represent quite a diverse group—from a yurt in Wyoming (“Freedom from Convention,” page 26) and an 1800s Copenhagen flat that once housed a watchmaker’s workshop (“Past Made Present,” page 105) to a newly renovated apartment in San Francisco (“A New Chap-

Freedom from Convention In northwestern Wyoming, a modern yurt defies the expected— much like its owner Text by ANH-MINH LE

Megan Griswold, who lives in a yurt situated near Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, takes in the beauty of her surroundings.

“I’ve had a nontraditional life,” says Megan Griswold, “so there’s some appeal to odd, interesting things.”

The California native studied political science at Columbia University, then went on to earn master’s degrees from Yale University and the Institute of Taoist Education & Acupuncture in Boulder, Colorado. Her résumé includes stints as a one-woman show performer, a house cleaner, an instructor with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), an acupuncturist, a commentator with NPR’s All Things Considered, and a doula.

And her penchant for the unorthodox extends beyond her career to her living situation: For the past two years, Megan has inhabited a yurt, located near Jackson, Wyoming. She erected the domed tent, which was purchased as a kit and sits on a platform, in one day, with the help of about 15 friends. Megan sited the yurt so that her back door frames a view of the Grand Teton, the highest mountain in the national park of the same name. “I like making everyday life feel like a camping adventure,” she says.

Megan is part of a yurt park community that currently includes 13 structures and has been around for several decades—thanks to landowners who were open to allowing alternative (and affordable) housing on their property. Since the county has restrictions on yurts, she likens securing a lease for a spot to “finding a rent-controlled place in New York.” Megan first learned about the enclave through a boyfriend, who once called it home; in 2013, she heard about an opening and jumped at the chance to live there.

The park’s residents come from various walks of life: Megan is a writer and designer (littlemoving 28

spaces.com)—she’s working on a letter-writing project and the interiors of the yurts for a resort in Park City, Utah—and counts a librarian, mountain guides, a yoga teacher, a painter, and a chef among her neighbors. “We would make a great reality show!” she quips.

The outdoor enthusiast was introduced to the beauty of Wyoming through her work with NOLS, which is headquartered in the state. “I’m attracted to extremes,” she says. “Either a big city or a place that’s really rustic.” There is a common denominator, though: She favors small spaces.

Prior to the yurt, which measures 24 feet in diameter (that’s about 450 square feet), she rented a 10-by-18-foot apartment in New York’s West Village. “I like feeling as if I’m actually occupying all of my home,” she elaborates.

With the yurt’s circular shape presenting a spatial challenge, Megan enlisted architect friend Thomas Schaer. Together, they conceived a kitchen in the middle, with a lofted sleeping quarters above it that accommodates a queen-size

“It’s about changing the rules of what off-the-grid living has to be like.”

“These desserts are the essence of fall.�

Serves 6-8

¾ cup dried sour cherries, roughly chopped

½ cup cornmeal + more for pan 1 ½ tsp whole flax seed 1 tsp chia seed ½ tsp psyllium husk powder 1 ¼ cups gluten-free all purpose flour blend without gums* 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup sugar 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 2 large eggs ½ cup milk 1 tsp vanilla extract confectioner’s sugar, for sprinkling *Use a mix that does not contain xanthan or guar gums.

1 tsp fine sea salt 1 tsp fresh rosemary, very finely chopped zest of 1 lemon, finely grated 1 cup cranberries, halved

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9" cake pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. Butter paper and dust the pan with a sprinkle of cornmeal. Use a coffee grinder to grind the flax, chia, and psyllium into a fine powder.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the powder together with the ½ cup cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, rosemary, and lemon zest until well combined. Place cranberries and dried cherries in a separate small bowl; add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture, toss to combine, and then set aside. Reserve the rest of the flour mixture.

3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and beat until fluffy and fully incorporated, about 5 minutes. Beat in the milk and vanilla.

Add the remainder of the flour mixture, then beat until the batter is fluffy and uniform, about 3 minutes more. Fold in the cranberry-cherry mixture.

4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 1 hour, rotating pan front to back halfway through baking. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the edges of the pan.

5. To garnish, sprinkle confectioner’s sugar over cooled cake.

Mira Eng-Goetz overhauled a once-neglected apartment into an airy and inviting space, filled with special mementos such as the metal lanterns from Morocco.

In every corner of the home, Mira’s talents—she works for Jessica Helgerson Interior Design—are on full display.

S

hortly after Mira Eng-Goetz came across the one-bedroom apartment that would eventually become her first home purchase, her parents came for a visit. “They looked around the place and said, ‘What are you thinking?’” recalls Mira with amusement. “I was thinking it had a lot of potential. In my mind, I was like, sold— there was no hesitation.”

You can’t blame her parents for worrying, though. Even Mira admits that it was “sad looking,” she says. “It had to be gutted—taken down to the studs.” The 370-square-foot unit, situated on the top floor of a 1930s Art Deco building in Portland’s Belmont neighborhood, was a foreclosure. The oak floorboards were worn so thin, some parts were broken through. Most of the plaster on the walls, which were a “yellow-ish flesh tone,” was cracked. The plumbing fixtures were unusable.

Still, Mira—who studied interior architecture at the University of North Carolina in Durham—was undeterred.

ANTHOLOGYMAG.COM

In fact, during her inaugural walkthrough of the property three years ago, she was already envisioning changes. For example, the apartment initially opened into the bedroom. “Immediately, it struck me that a flip-flop needed to happen,” Mira says of the decision to switch the placement of the bedroom and the kitchen. Now, the latter is an open space that also encompasses her dining and living areas.

A custom window seat consisting of a series of drawers runs the length of the wall opposite the front door. “When I was eight, my family moved to a new house and my parents designed a sunroom addition,” recounts Mira. “It had this massive window seat that my brother and I just loved. We hung out there all the time. It’s where we always wanted to be.” Similarly, she gravitates toward her own home’s window seat, noting that it is “wonderful for lounging, reading, and eating.” Plus, it provides ample storage and beckons overnight guests.

To accommodate the window seat, Mira moved the bathroom door a few feet. She also created an

Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, the waterfront neighborhood now famous as a hipster haven, was just an urban outpost in the early 1990s. For decades, it had hummed with the toil of factories and manufacturing companies while sustaining several marginalized communities—Hasidic Jews, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans. But when artists in Manhattan began to feel squeezed by rising rents and diminishing space, many fled to Williamsburg for refuge, and the area became the café-gallery-musicrestaurant hot spot that it is today.

Among the earliest creative pioneers were James Klein and David Reid, a couple who had attended high school together in Ohio, made their way to separate art schools (James to upstate New York and David to Michigan), and decided to launch their own line of ceramics. They set up shop in the neighborhood in 1993—“When there still were no cafés or even an ATM anywhere,” James says—and developed distinctive formulas for porcelain and glazes, collaborating on a line of vases that eventually got picked up by Bergdorf Goodman. Now their company, KleinReid (kleinreid.com), produces not only vases, but also jewelry, lamps, dinnerware, prints, and novelties (like pretty brass tops), all of it made in-house from scratch. Over the years, the two have honed their reputation as tastemakers whose timeless yet unique creations and impeccable craftsmanship continually push the boundaries of home-goods design into uncharted artistic lands.

After a 13-year stint in Williamsburg—during which time the neighborhood filled up with trendy venues, luxury condos, and a fair share of high-end boutiques—James and David realized they needed to find new studio space:

i

t’s a brisk afternoon in the burgeoning Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park. Chef Minh Phan and her boyfriend Aaron Sonnenschein are just back from a month-long trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, and busy prepping their bungalow-style home for a dinner party with friends.

Minh worked at Beachwood Cafe and Inn of the Seventh Ray prior to branching out on her own and launching Porridge + Puffs, and attributes her Vietnamese mother’s cooking as a major influence.

“My mom’s cooking helped define me,” says Minh, who attended New York University, where she studied theater and political science, and worked in advertising directing commercials before enrolling at the California School of Culinary Arts. Minh continues: “She’s pretty good at melding flavors. I think fusion is natural in any immigrant’s kitchen—cooking what you know, using ingredients [available] where you live.”

Growing up, rice was a staple in Minh’s household.

“When other families were having steak and meatballs,” she says, “we had rice every night.” Rice was also a main ingredient in a holiday tradition: The day after Thanksgiving and the day after Christmas, using leftover turkey carcasses, her parents would make porridge. Now, porridge has become Minh’s signature dish. Through Porridges + Puffs, which she experimented with last year and is working on turning into a permanent restaurant, she has been able to share her affinity for porridge with others. (In a write-up earlier this year, the Los Angeles Times extolled that she was “the woman responsible for the city’s current obsession with rice porridge.”)

“Although porridge is the star of my dish,” Minh explains, “most people view it as a vehicle for other ingredients. Porridge is simply the combination of grain and liquid. I can spend a lifetime studying the combination of these two things and how they play with each other. Currently, I’m obsessed with Koda Farms rice, but also intrigued with the possibilities of super-small grains like teff, millet, and amaranth.

As for stock, I appreciate the nuances of the classic veal and chicken, but I adore the infinite options for

It’s not only the beautiful way she puts her words together—or her wonderful wit. It’s her vision of life, and her spirit.
