AT HOME WITH ABIGAIL COOK STONE, CEO & CO-FOUNDER, OTHERLAND

What is your favorite room in your house? Our kitchen. What makes this particular space special? Our kitchen is bright and open, with windows looking out on the urban landscape of SoHo, New York City. As the saying goes, our kitchen is certainly the heart of our home. I love to cook, and cooking weeknight dinners is an important part of my self-care routine in getting away from my desk and office mode, and winding down. With the design, I took a decor-forward approach with a large, floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcase that is filled with colorful books and cookbooks that I’ve collected over the years, objets d’art, and smaller framed artworks and mementos— and, of course, it’s heavily accented with Otherland candles in little vignettes.

What are some things that you personally feel make your house a home? In the case of my kitchen bookcase, as with the rest of my space, having elements of personalization make me feel like I’m truly at home. A curated collection of items, like books, artwork, tchotchkes—whatever it may be!—tells a story of what is meaningful to you and your personal self-expression. This ties in with the idea of interior wellness, which more broadly is part of my concept of “interiential”—a combination of interiors and experiential that is all about creating meaningful experiences at home.  www.otherland.com 5

OUTDOOR SPACES Leveraging your outdoor space no matter the season. 6

Often, outdoor spaces are treated as superfluous to the home; they’re merely spaces that surround our house and separate us from our neighbors. There’s so much that can be done, though, to make these areas an extension of your living space—providing you with both more usable and livable square footage, and a wider range of environments in which to enjoy your home.

I N D O O R /O U T D O O R S PAC E S A N D C OV E R E D A R E A S Larger homes often boast balconies or patios, or both. As balconies are usually found on the higher levels of your house, they are more likely to have a view. Use the space to leverage that: have your furniture facing away from the house, towards the view, for an excellent contemplation space. Patios, on the other hand, are ground-floor spaces, often situated off of the living or dining areas. Because of this, they allow your social spaces to spill out into the yard; be sure to offer a lot of comfortable seating on the patio, gentle overhead lighting, and heating for the colder months. If you have the space, adding a gazebo further away from the house provides a more secluded, private option either for socializing in small groups, or for your own private retreat. A wonderful thing about gazebos and other covered outdoor spaces is that they are usable all year round, even in the cold and rain (make sure your roof is watertight and you have adequate outdoor heating). If you happen to live somewhere with consistently sunny weather, though, you can’t go past shade trees—like sawtooth oak or red sunset maple—for a stunning natural outdoor entertaining space. Dappled sunlight filtering through the boughs, and delightful color displays in the fall, make shade trees a must-have for your outdoor spaces.

OUTDOOR KITCHE N The kitchen is often called the heart of the home. Installing a fully functioning outdoor kitchen is the perfect way to create the heart of your garden, too. Instead of separating yourself from your guests while they mingle and you prepare food, you can be right in the center of the action the whole time with an al fresco culinary area. 8

When you create your outdoor kitchen, it’s important to consider that there are some necessary differences between an indoor and an outdoor kitchen. Inside, food prep and cooking are the main focuses, and counter space is a huge consideration. When you’re cooking outdoors, you’re likely to have done your prep inside, and the outdoor kitchen will mainly be used for cooking while you entertain. Consider having the kitchen at the edge of your space instead of dropping it in the middle, so it doesn’t interrupt the flow through your entertaining area. It’s also important to remember that your outdoor kitchen will be exposed to the elements. Designing your space with hard-wearing materials, such as stone and stainless steel, will ensure that you end up with an outdoor kitchen that is both aesthetically

your outdoor space. Situate your water feature in the open to offer a focal point to your garden, or incorporate it into the landscape itself—like a small rock waterfall at the back of the yard—to provide a more natural feel. If you have a swimming pool, you can also consider building decorative water features into its design. The benefits of this are twofold: it will help to circulate your pool water, thus avoiding stagnation; and it offers visual layering, which gives your pool area a more dynamic feel. You could also incorporate an outdoor fireplace to heat the water for your hot tub—unique, useful, and visually very appealing.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE When considering furniture for your outdoor spaces, durability is a must—but it is by no means the only consideration you should make. Too often, we make the mistake of choosing furniture that can be left out in the elements but compromises on comfort and style. Each outdoor space should have a cohesive aesthetic that ties all the pieces together, much as you might strive for with your indoor furnishings. Your furniture should provide a comfort comparable to what you have inside the house. For comfort outdoors, cushions and pillows are your best friend. You can either create a weatherproof storage space to store your soft furnishings 10

(under benches or in a small shed will work well), or opt for cushions that are themselves weatherproof, and can be left out in the elements. Modern outdoor furniture design has come a long way, and there are plenty of designs that offer comfort without cushions or pillows—think bent wood, sculpted plastic and even inbuilt concrete. These pieces look fantastic, and are surprisingly nice to sit on for the duration of a night by the grill.

L ANDSCAPING The key to tying all these elements together is landscaping. Landscaping encompasses anything you do to the land that improves either function or aesthetic, or both. This includes things like paths that will dictate the flow of movement around your space, as well as garden beds, decorative features, seating, and plants. When landscaping, it’s important to consider both the style and functionality of your space. Do you want large open spaces, or smaller, more intimate nooks? Do you want a flat or undulating yard? Do you want a lot of plants, and, if so, do you opt for hardy natives, or colorful varieties? How about water features, walls, benches, and paving? Do you want to incorporate the current topography of the land, or create your own layers and spaces? The joy of landscaping is that it provides an almost endless array of elements to add to your garden. It can be overwhelming to have so much choice, though, so consider having a cohesive design theme throughout. This will give you a more manageable palette with which to work, and will ultimately make it feel like your outdoor space has been thoughtfully created with love and attention to detail. You put a lot of effort into ensuring that your indoor design is comfortable, welcoming and well put together—and there’s no reason that you shouldn’t extend that into the outdoors. You’ll expand your livable space and create a variety of options for different events, so you’ll be the house in the street with the “mustattend” parties.  11

Van der Rohe and other proponents of minimalism established a robust minimalist architecture environment in the United States, although it was still a minor facet of home design at large. The aim of modern minimalism was to create a space in which each element of design is multifunctional and creates a visual serenity. In essence, minimalism means that nothing can be removed from the home’s design in order to improve it. It took a couple of decades for minimalism to really take hold in the United States, but the style exploded in the 1980s, and has been a prominent feature of the architectural field ever since. Many attribute this to the human stress response to the informationsaturated and pressurized society of the last 50 years—people are seeking an antidote to the chaos; a space in which to find calm.

FURNITURE

FOR YOUR LUXURY HOME Why You Should Invest in Sustainable Furniture. BY M ERYL S I EG MAN

Left: Chairs by Lee Industries, an America-based furniture designer that has a Gold Exemplary rating on the Sustainable Furnishings Council’s Quick Buying Guide.

As we continue to face the challenges ahead, and with the prediction that Americans will spend more than $100 billion on new furniture in the coming year, it is important to understand what “sustainable furniture” means, why you should invest in it, and how it can benefit luxury homeowners.

S U S TA I N A B L E F U R N I T U R E D E F I N E D It’s easy to confuse the word “sustainable” with “green” and “ecofriendly”—terms that are often used interchangeably. Green usually refers to how the materials used are sourced, and focuses on lessening the product’s carbon footprint. Eco-friendly means “earth friendly,” which is to say that it’s not harmful to the environment, and describes products that contribute to practices that help conserve resources. But that does not necessarily mean that green or eco-friendly furniture is sustainable. Sustainability is a term that encompasses much more. Whether an item of furniture is considered sustainable is based on:

the environmental impact of the materials used

the process by which it is made

whether its finishes are non-toxic and do not off-gas

the product’s life cycle

how the product arrives at its final destination

the product’s durability.

The concept of sustainability addresses the impact of each component of the process—from the raw materials used in its manufacturing and delivery, all the way through to the end of its usefulness. While there are organizations that

offer different types of sustainability certification, such as LEED (Leadership in

ustainability in architecture and interior design has been a trend in the home-building industry for more than two decades. The subject has recently become mainstream, emerging as a major issue as we consider the societal, cultural,

and economic changes that are taking place around the world. We now know that home buyers will pay more for sustainable features—such as energy-efficient windows and locally sourced building materials—not only because of a desire to improve their lives, but also out of a sense of social responsibility and wanting to do the right thing. While building or buying a sustainable home might initially be more expensive, ultimately it saves owners in operational costs, helps them to become energy independent, and increases the resale value of their property. This evolving trend is also evident in homeowners’ choice of home furnishings. Sustainability in furniture design supports a lifestyle that consumes less, reduces energy consumption and resource needs, and results in products that are high quality and durable, so that they don’t fall apart and get tossed into landfill, like the 9.8 million tons or more of unwanted furniture that ends up in landfill every year. 24

HOW HOMEOWNE RS CAN BENEFIT FROM S U S TA I N A B L E F U R N I T U R E There are many excellent reasons for homeowners to invest in sustainable furniture, which not only benefit them, but also promote a healthy environment. Quality: Sustainable furniture means durability, exceptional quality, and noble materials. It is made to perform well and last a lifetime. As a result, it is an excellent long-term investment. Health: It’s good for your health. These are some elements that may be present in common furniture: toxic, flame-retardant chemicals;

formaldehyde; heavy metals such as mercury and lead; phthalates, which are used to make plastic more flexible; and VOCs that affect indoor air quality. Once you learn more about the potential health hazards of cheap, typical furniture, it is easy to imagine a luxury home filled with high-end, beautifully made furniture that is free from toxins and will last a lifetime. Cost: Furniture that is recycled or refurbished, such as high-quality vintage furniture purchased from a reputable source, is often less expensive than buying it new. Because its components are recycled, its sticker price might even be a pleasant surprise. Aesthetics: A home filled with sustainable furniture can be as elegant and luxurious as one that is not committed to sustainability—or even more so.

On the other hand, living on a huge property with no close neighbors can be isolating for people who crave social interaction. For some, living in a thriving community—whether it’s an apartment building, a close-knit town or a gated village—brings people into their lives, which creates a sense of wellbeing. Understanding whether space and isolation feed your wellness, or whether having a close community of people around you is more beneficial to you, is an important part of choosing a home, and gives you the luxury of social choice.

S U S TA I N A B L E L I V I N G In today’s more socially conscious world, sustainability is a priority for many citizens. Homes that feature sustainable materials and finishes require less maintenance and less energy, and help to create better indoor air quality for the residents. The initial construction of a home is the beginning of its sustainability journey. Truly sustainable homes will use materials that are not damaging to the environment, will use local Living outside of a metropolis offers the luxury of quiet and space, but few of the conveniences that city living can provide; however, there are different kinds of convenience to be found in more remote areas, such as proximity to things like lakes and skiing, direct access to fresh produce, and the ability to get out into nature as often as you like. And traffic? Forget about it. Luxury is also about saving time and having the things that you need when you need them. Consider convenience when you are looking for luxury.

A SOCIAL QUESTION Privacy and seclusion are listed as luxury features of a property, and for good reason. Being able to completely control your environment, and benefit from the space and quiet of a large property, is, for some folks, the ultimate luxury.

Once occupied, a home can be made sustainable by choosing responsibly sourced furnishings and finishes (see our sustainable furniture article on page 22). Sustainable furniture reduces landfill, and minimizes toxic chemicals in the home. While the preference would be for all homes to reach a high level of sustainability, currently we see a low-carbon footprint as a luxury.
