TOM MCWILLIAM
WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT THE SECOND TIME AROUND WOULD BE so different, and yet so similar? C&G Media Group’s first ever New York Design Guide debuted to much fanfare last year, and little did we know that the repeat performance we had planned for the 2020/2021 edition would come together under such challenging circumstances. The pandemic has taught us all many important lessons, one of which is the importance of home. Whether you are sheltering in place or building a brand-new shelter, this handy reference tool is a helpful compendium of all the design professionals featured in the pages of NYC&G during the previous year, as well as reporting from interviews with top interior designers, architects, real estate experts, and landscape designers about the ins and outs of all things home-related in the greater New York region. Buying a house? Make sure it ticks off most of the boxes, but don’t expect every single one to be filled. Starting a new veggie patch? Slow and steady wins the race. And if you are looking for the perfect fireplace mantel or cashmere throw to warm up your winter, simply turn to our “Ultimate Shopping Directory” (page 108) for the names of our area’s finest home accessories shops and showrooms, which are open and eager for your business. These tips, helpful hints, and more are all neatly gathered into one big package, so all you need to do is grab a copy of the guide and keep it at your side. Whether you are at the early stages of hiring and working with a decorator or on the hunt for the perfect pair of side tables, we hope you find the information on these pages useful and inspiring. Enjoy!
LETTER FROM THE CEO
TIMELY RESOURCE IF EVER THERE WERE A TIME FOR THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE, IT IS NOW! The unprecedented movement of homeowners and renters both within the city and to the Hamptons, Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut, and the Hudson Valley has increased the need for all of our company’s design guides. Design professionals are in higher demand than ever before, and our new neighbors need to know who they are. The New York Design Guide 2020/2021 makes the introductions, while providing advice on getting your new house together and highlighting our region’s dazzling array of top shops and showrooms. Intentionally sized on the smaller side, the guide can be popped into a tote bag and is easily accessible online, too. Pick one up at a design shop near you, buy a copy (go to cottagesgardens.com/nydg), or preview a digital edition at cottagesgardens.com/nydgonline. Happy hunting!

HOW CAN CLIENTS AND DESIGNERS HAVE THE BEST RELATIONSHIP POSSIBLE?
“Let clients know what you’re up to, from meetings with vendors to visiting antiques shops and showrooms. Clients should feel like they’re involved in the process.” —Alyssa Urban
“DESIGNERS SHOULD KEEP BILLING TRANSPARENT AND PROVIDE RECEIPTS FROM EVERY VENDOR.”
—Jayne Michaels

MYTH BUSTING “PICKING A WALL COLOR OR CORRECTLY SIZED FURNITURE IS NOT EASY. YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL EYE, ONE THAT UNDERSTANDS SCALE AND WHAT WILL OR WON’T WORK IN A ROOM.” —Alyssa Urban
“Good designers will never bully you into implementing their vision. A good designer is there to make your vision happen, with some special sauce on top.” —Robin Henry “YOU DON’T NECESSARILY GET AUTOMATIC DISCOUNTS FROM HIRING A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL. NOT ALL VENDORS OFFER THE SAME DISCOUNTS, AND IT’S THE DESIGNER’S JOB TO FIND THE RIGHT PIECES FOR A PROJECT WITHIN A CERTAIN BUDGET, NO MATTER WHAT.” —Philip Gorrivan
THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
“One designer’s fee structure can differ vastly from another’s. Just because decorators charge differently, it doesn’t mean that they are hustling clients.” —Tina Ramchandani
“THE JOB IS NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES. EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE AND EVERY PIECE OF ADVICE YOU GIVE COUNTS. THERE’S A HUGE LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY.” —Jayne Michaels
“Designers are not out to trick clients into spending more money or increase the price of something surreptitiously.”
—Penny Drue Baird
RICK LEW (SEPTEMBER 2014)
“My most successful projects have always been those with clients who are communicative.”—Philip Gorrivan
TOP 5
WHAT CLIENTS WANT
PETER MURDOCK (APRIL 2018)
“Rooms with great light fixtures. Clients might balk at custom-made sofas, but they’re willing to spend money on impactful lighting because of its decorative value.” —Philip Gorrivan
2 DESIGN GLOSSARY Cutting for Approval (CFA):
“A cut of fabric or wallpaper that is shipped to the designer for approval. It’s compared against the design scheme and original sample.” —Tina Ramchandani
Drawing for Approval (DFA):
“I often specify custom furniture for my clients. Whether we’re simply altering the dimensions or designing a new piece, we require drawing for approval from the vendor. I review and approve the drawings before production begins.” —Eve Robinson
Dye Lot:
“A run of fabric or wallpaper made in a particular colorway.” —Tina Ramchandani
Fees:
“A design fee is paid up front, or in installments, before any purchasing begins. A product fee is a percentage, determined by the decorator, added onto the cost of a product for the time and effort that goes into sourcing it.” —Robin Henry
Modern versus contemporary:
“Many clients think that these terms are interchangeable, but they’re not. Modern refers to 20th-century design, and contemporary means the current styles of today.” —Philip Gorrivan
Schemes:
“Samples of furniture, fabrics, rugs, paint colors, and wall coverings for a room.” —Alyssa Urban
“A specific distinction between rooms, allowing for more private, intimate spaces.” —Jayne Michaels
3
“Beautiful materials that are functional, comfortable, and durable, from kitchen countertops to sofa fabrics.” —Eve Robinson
4
“Closet and storage space for linens, luggage, and seasonal clothing—even if it requires giving up an extra guest bedroom.” —Alyssa Urban
5
“Open kitchens and family rooms, but designated dining rooms.” —Robin Henry

ART:
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO A DESIGN SCHEME? “Art allows clients to bring a room to life and put their stamp on it.” —Alyssa Urban
“ART IS CRITICAL TO A SUCCESSFUL ROOM—AND IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE MUSEUM QUALITY.”
—Penny Drue Baird
“There’s no way to design a space without art. It sets the point of view and helps create a sense of authenticity.” —Philip Gorrivan
“REALLY BAD ART CAN RUIN OTHERWISE REALLY GOOD DESIGN, AND VICE VERSA. BOTTOM LINE: YOU DON’T NEED TONS OF PIECES, BUT THOSE YOU DO USE SHOULD BE IMPACTFUL.” —Robin Henry 26
THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
TOP: NICK JOHNSON (OCTOBER 2018); BOTTOM: PETER MURDOCK (APRIL 2016)
“A room without art is soulless and typically seems more like a furniture showroom.” —Jayne Michaels
HOW DO YOU INCORPORATE ART INTO A DECORATED ROOM? CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: ANASTASSIOS MENTIS (NOVEMBER 2019); MARILI FORASTIERI (MARCH 2019); FRAN PARENTE (OCTOBER 2015)
“IF CLIENTS HAVE ARTWORK ALREADY, THEN WE PHOTOGRAPH AND CATALOGUE THEIR COLLECTION UNTIL WE DECIDE WHERE THE PIECES WILL BE INTEGRATED. AND IF CLIENTS DON’T HAVE ART, I TRY TO SUGGEST PIECES UP FRONT, SO THAT ART DOESN’T BECOME AN AFTERTHOUGHT.” —Philip Gorrivan
“More established clients often come onboard with their own collection, which we integrate into the initial schemes. For younger clients without art, I tell them at the beginning that we’re saving part of their budget for art and accessories. We tackle finding the right pieces once we’re in the purchasing phase because they’re more comfortable at that point.” —Tina Ramchandani
“We do elevations with placeholders for the art, which we refer to when we’re shopping for pieces.”
—Eve Robinson “We know which walls we’re reserving for art, and then at the end of a project, we’ll make recommendations to clients. Sometimes there can be a real give and take between designer and client, since art is such a personal choice.” —Jayne Michaels

BATHS HOW TO MAKE A POWERFUL STATEMENT IN A POWDER ROOM
“Use special finishes like high-gloss paint, faux gold, or silver leaf.” —Neal Beckstedt “PUT UP A MURAL, SUCH AS A MOUNTAIN SCENE, SO THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE IN NATURE.”
—Brett Beldock “Lacquer the walls, incorporate wood paneling, or wallpaper the ceiling.” —Alyssa Kapito
“Brass-framed shower doors can really elevate the bathroom.” —Alyssa Kapito “White marble and travertine make a space seem calmer. Save the color for the powder room and kitchen.” —Neal Beckstedt “Make sure to provide for his and her storage, even if there’s only a single sink.” —Bennett Leifer
28
THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A BATHROOM STAND THE TEST OF TIME? “KEEP THINGS UNIFORM. USE THE SAME MARBLE ON THE COUNTERTOPS, CABINET FRONTS, AND WALLS.”
—Brett Beldock
“CLEAN LINES, ALWAYS, FOR A SPA-LIKE FEELING.”
—Alyssa Kapito
“Use durable materials for floors and other heavytraffic areas so that they maintain a good appearance for as long as possible. Save more precious materials for the walls.” —Bennett Leifer
ERIC PIASECKI (MARCH 2019)
TIPS OF THE TRADE
KITCHENS
WHAT’S HOT:
MATERIALS AND HARDWARE
“Bars and pulls in solid or unlacquered brass and polished or burnished nickel.” —Alyssa Kapito
RAQUEL LANGWORTHY (MAY/JUNE 2019)
“A CARVED-OUT SINK IN THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE COUNTERTOP, LIKE A VEINY MARBLE, ADDS DEPTH AND RICHNESS.”
—Alyssa Urban
“WHITE MARBLE COUNTERTOPS WITH BLACK, GRAY, OR EGGPLANT-COLORED VEINING, AND PUSH-LATCH CABINETS, WHICH DON’T HAVE KNOBS AT ALL, THEREBY GIVING THE APPEARANCE OF A SOLID WALL.”
—Brett Beldock
“Lacquered cabinetry paired with a natural stone countertop and a backsplash featuring unusual veining.” —Neal Beckstedt
IS THE “TRIANGLE RULE” STILL RELEVANT?
The jury is still out on whether the famed triangle rule—the notion that the distance between the sink, oven, and fridge should approximate an equilateral triangle—applies to today’s kitchens. A more modern solution, Neal Beckstedt suggests, is to break the kitchen into more loosely delineated “functional zones” for making drinks, prepping ingredients, cooking, and cleaning, while ensuring that there “is enough breathing room for people to walk around.”

ith a passion for nature and organic form, Home for Zen is best known for a modern, chic and richly-textured aesthetic. Ania Dunlop loves to partner with her clients to design homes ripe for a refresh, transforming them into modern, luxurious but livable spaces that are made for lounging. The result is often a largely neutral palette with a pop of color, streamlined furnishings and show stopping light fixtures, which she believes to be “jewelry for the home”. Designing for wellness is one of Dunlop’s top priorities. While making a home that is a sanctuary from the stress of the outside world is on everyone’s list, she goes a step further and employs a mindful approach to material selection. Think natural materials that come from the earth like stone, wood, cotton and wool – all of which are non-toxic and promote the health and wellbeing of people and the environment. Master of mixing and matching textures, she creates layered rooms through the use of performance fabrics, nubby rugs, breezy window coverings and custom furnishings that bring joy and calm to her clients but can also withstand the messes of life. As a result, her designs are about sophistication, practicality and sustainability, a rare combination that is resonating with clients who want a beautiful family-friendly vibe plus a unique green edge. 44

JOLIE KOREK & COMPANY
“A
home is ‘living art’,” according to designer Jolie Korek. “It’s not a place to merely make a statement, it’s a dynamic, multi-faceted expression of the people who reside there. The key to truly outstanding design, weaves in seamless functionality, so that it’s also experiential, it makes you feel good.” With a thriving design practice from Westchester, to Manhattan, to the Hamptons, Korek’s work has been featured in magazines such as HC&G, Architectural Digest, and NY Spaces. “Who wouldn’t want to design in the Hamptons?! Nature has already done half the work for you”, she jokes, discussing her many celebrated projects on the East End. Here, her work brings the inside outside and vice versa, tapping into the innately serene feeling inspired by the landscape and light. She should know, Jolie spends time year-round at her East Hampton home of 20 years. Today, Korek leads the way integrating tech and green design elements. Solutions like remote shades, skylights and other modern innovations bring a sense of ease and flow. Solar, radiant floors, green building materials and recycling are all part of her ethos. Her aesthetic draws from a background as a fine art gallerist and an avid world traveler. “Every element of a design has the possibility to be something special, that’s what makes designing such a joy. Nothing gets phoned in, everything is always fresh and new.”

TALES OF THE SALE
HOW QUICK THINKING CAN SAVE A DEAL
A-LIST AMENITIES The savviest developers know how to lure buyers with special perks and incentives. At some of New York City’s newest residential projects, there’s something for everyone
BUSYBODY BOARD MEMBER
THE TOUGH SELL: After the president of an Upper East Side co-op board hired Michelle Sedlitz of Citi Habitats to sell her apartment in the building, she insisted on joining Sedlitz at every showing so that she could cover the furnishings and interview prospective buyers. HOW IT SOLD: The apartment went into contract just two weeks after Sedlitz politely persuaded the owner to make herself scarce.
ARTFUL DODGER
THE TOUGH SELL: Two adjacent East Village townhouses owned by the Uranian Phalanstery were in desperate need of repair. HOW THEY SOLD: Compass agent Martin Eiden marketed the air rights and played up the fact that the buildings are tax-exempt, thanks to the artist collective’s status as the first recognized agnostic church in New York City. A developer ended up buying both and tripling the square footage.
FOR THE GREEN THUMB The Rockwell Group–designed amenity club at Waterline Square’s three Upper West Side towers includes an indoor gardening room, where condo owners can plant and arrange flowers. FOR THE OVERWHELMED PARENT Private-school consultant Amanda Uhry provides residents of the Upper West Side’s Chamberlain with advice on tutors and navigating the complicated world of New York City’s private schools. FOR THE BEAUTY FANATIC Luxury concierge service LIVunLtd and skin-care guru Tracie Martyn—a favorite of Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, and Naomi Campbell—have created a program that offers special treatments to residents of 111 Murray in Tribeca. FOR THE BUSY FAMILY At the Upper West Side condo One West End, a “kids concierge” not only advises residents on the best toys and books to purchase for the little ones, but also organizes specially tailored parentchild activities. FOR THE WELLNESS ENTHUSIAST The Tower at Gramercy Square has teamed up with MNDFL, a network of drop-in meditation studios, to open a residents-only location on-site.
TRAPEZE ACT
A WOMAN SCORNED
THE TOUGH SELL: The owner of one Hamilton Heights property had an “art installation” in the bedroom, where trapezes and other contraptions hung from the ceiling.
THE TOUGH SELL: The seller’s soon-to-be ex-wife stripped their Prospect Heights townhouse of everything—down to its bay window, kitchen cabinets, and light fixtures.
HOW IT SOLD: The Corcoran Group’s Tamara Marotta embraced the theme and held “countless Champagne parties” for creative types and others she knew wouldn’t be scared off.
HOW IT SOLD: Corcoran’s Peter Gordenstein “went to an architectural salvage yard and priced the missing pieces so that buyers would know the cost of replacing them in advance.” —reported by Heather Senison
64
THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
FOR THE FOODIE Resident, a Brooklyn-based supper-club start-up, puts on dinners and wine pairings for residents of 475 Clermont, a luxury apartment building on the border of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. FOR THE SYBARITE Tribeca Select, a custom program for 30 Warren, connects residents with the best that the neighborhood has to offer, including sommeliers and inhome catering, music and art classes, private yoga lessons, florists, and closet organization and pet services. —reported by Jean Nayar
TRICKS OF THE TRADE BROKERS OFTEN END UP TAKING UNEXPECTED ROUTES TO GET THEIR LISTINGS SOLD. CONSIDER THESE SUCCESS STORIES: AD DOLLARS KEEP PAYING OFF
The Corcoran Group’s Gary DePersia thought he was done representing a $13 million property after the seller decided to take it off the market. However, when a potential buyer responded to an old print ad that DePersia had placed for the house, the seller agreed to let the broker show it, and they struck a deal. “If it hadn’t been for that print ad, I may not have made the sale,” DePersia comments, “and I certainly wouldn’t have gotten both sides of the transaction.”
WHAT A BLAST!
E-mail has become a useful tool for most brokers, including Sarah Minardi of Saunders & Associates, who sends out regular blasts that she has dubbed “Minardi Mentions.” The broker once added a man to the mailing list who had sent an inquiry about weekend rentals, and a year later, he ended up buying a property that he saw advertised in one of her missives. “Moral of the story: No matter how small the request, never discount a potential client,” she says, “because you never know where that initial point of contact will take you.”
THE ART OF THE PITCH
Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Rima Mardoyan Smyth recently worked with the firm’s PR department to pitch one of her listings to the New York Post for exclusive coverage. “After the write-up came out, the listing received 1,700 hits,” says Mardoyan Smyth. “There was a bidding war, and the property sold shortly thereafter.”
INSTA-SALES!
Never underestimate the power of Instagram. Compass’s Evan Kulman posted an announcement for an upcoming listing and had a broker query within hours. “The agent previewed the property while his client was on FaceTime, and it resulted in a full-price offer,” says Kulman. Matthew Breitenbach, also of Compass, was hired to market a development project after one of its investors, a professional athlete in the NHL, saw his Instagram feed and DM’d him. And an Instagram post by Douglas Elliman’s Michaela Keszler elicited a life-changing response from her own husband. After Keszler posted a photo of a condo that she had been representing, he expressed interest in the unit, and the couple ended up downsizing from their home of 20 years. —reported by Lisa Chamoff

“Incorporate fire features, from rustic or casual to truly sculptural pieces that stand on their own as works of art.” —Michael Derrig
“MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE YOUR GARDEN’S WATERING REQUIREMENTS.” —Roxine Brown “Consider a custom fountain or other water element, such as a dramatic urn overflowing with water at the end of a long axis, or a reflective pond in a contemplative corner.” —Michael Derrig
“Get some outdoor barstool seating. People love to engage with their friends or family while spending time outside.”
—West Chin
“A LARGE GARDEN SHOULD HAVE EIGHT-FOOT-TALL WIRE DEER FENCING. TWO ROWS OF FOUR-FOOT- OR SIX-FOOTTALL FENCING SPACED FOUR FEET APART WILL ALSO WORK.”
“Gardens that are meditative and have a healing aspect to them.” —Quincy Hammond

GARDEN GLOSSARY BENEFICIAL ORGANISMS:
“These pests, fungi, and microorganisms play an important role in the garden, fighting off destructive insects or other pests, pollinating flowers, and helping with soil structure by breaking down organic matter and creating air pockets. Beneficials always need to be considered before applying pesticides or herbicides!” —Roxine Brown
BOXWOOD BLIGHT:
“A plague hitting the Northeast’s beloved boxwood hedges hard. But there are successful new treatments for it, so consult an expert ASAP.” —Quincy Hammond
DRAINAGE WICKS:
“Deep, narrow holes filled with gravel, these improve drainage in a garden.” —Quincy Hammond
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
“A licensed professional who has demonstrated proficiency in landscape design as required by the state. To receive a license, an applicant must be skilled in multiple areas of land planning and site design, have a minimum number of years’ experience, and pass a rigorous exam.” —Cleo Abrams-Horsburgh
LANDSCAPE DESIGNER:
“A highly skilled landscape professional who does not have a state-issued license. Landscape designers more often work on residential planting designs, rather than complex projects with extensive hardscape and infrastructure requirements.” —Cleo Abrams-Horsburgh
TOP TO BOTTOM: MARILI FORASTIERI (MARCH 2017); ROB CARDILLO (OCTOBER 2013)
“Taking responsibility for how our public and private gardens have an impact on the local climate and world overall.” —Louis Fusco

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
MASS PLANTING:
“Planting in large quantities—from at least six to several hundred plants—results in a more cohesive, bolder landscape.” —Quincy Hammond
MICROCLIMATES:
“Areas of slightly differing exposures and temperatures due to existing physical and environmental qualities.” —Roxine Brown
MULCH:
“A thick layer of shredded bark, pine needles, or other organic material scattered on planting beds and around trees. It helps retain moisture in the soil and is an important complement to irrigation systems, ultimately reducing water consumption.” —Michael Derrig
OVERCROWDING:
“What happens when you don’t take into consideration the full growth potential of a plant. Species planted too close together eventually die back or kill each other off.” —Roxine Brown
PRUNING:
“Gardens don’t just happen, they are created, so hedging, shaping, and removing dead branches is essential. Pruning not only ensures the achievement of long-term design goals, but also the healthy and correct growth of plants.” —Michael Derrig
TOP TO BOTTOM: KINDRA CLINEFF (SEPTEMBER 2019), ANNIE SCHLECHTER (SEPTEMBER 2018)
SOIL COMPACTION:
“This occurs when soil has been driven or walked on enough to expel necessary air pockets and harden it, limiting proper drainage and nutrient absorption.” —Roxine Brown
SOIL PH:
“A measure of how alkaline or acidic a soil is. Neutral soil pH ranging between 6.5 and 7.5 is best for most plant materials, because nutrients, especially nitrogen, are freed up to be used by plants at this level.” —Roxine Brown
SUCCESSIONAL INTEREST:
“A theory of planting that extends beyond just flowers to the consideration of fall leaf color and winter structure, berries, and seed heads.” —Quincy Hammond
SUSTAINABILITY:
“Sustainable landscape design is one of the greatest tools we have for reversing the degradation of waterways and critical natural habitat, as well as protecting precious natural resources.” —Michael Derrig

GARDENING

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT FOR SUCCESSFUL VEGETABLE AND HERB GARDENS AT HOME? WE ASKED THE EXPERTS “In terms of crop rotation, there are differing opinions on whether certain plants, like tomatoes, should be moved from one bed to another. So do your homework.” —Quincy Hammond, landscape architect
92
THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
“DON’T FORGET THAT SOME PLANTS, LIKE ASPARAGUS, WON’T BE READY TO HARVEST FOR SEVERAL YEARS. SO BE PATIENT.” —Tony Piazza, garden designer “Raised beds are your best bet, although rotating crops and maintaining soil quality can be a challenge. For instance, you aren’t supposed to grow garlic in the same place for at least seven years.” —Tony Piazza
“IN SMALLER GARDENS, TRY USING WHISKEY BARRELS INSTEAD OF RAISED BEDS. THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN A BARREL FILLED WITH HERBS.” —Michael Derrig,
landscape architect
“VEGETABLE GARDENS ARE NOT TRADITIONALLY PRETTY AND ARE EMPTY A LOT OF THE TIME, SO IT’S BEST TO LOCATE THEM IN AN OUT-OF-THE-WAY SPOT.” —Ian Hanbach, landscape architect
WHICH PLANTS DO YOU LEAN TOWARD FOR SUBTLE COLOR IN THE GARDEN? WE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE PROS “It’s all about green trees, hedges, and lawns for me. When I do decide to use color, I like a lot of white because it looks so fresh against green. White ‘Iceberg’ roses bloom all summer if they have enough air circulation, and I prefer white ‘Annabelle’ hydrangeas, although hydrangeas in all colors are pretty.” —Quincy Hammond
OPPOSITE PAGE: TONY PIAZZA. THIS PAGE: TOP RIGHT: LAUREN COLEMAN; BOTTOM: QUINCY HAMMOND.
“A lot of color in a small area is just too busy for us. Instead of ‘color bombs,’ we prefer to limit our palette to whites, purples, and lavenders.” —Ian Hanbach “At my home, we have a boxedged garden that is studded with blue delphiniums, which later get pulled out and replaced with purple Russian sage.” —Michael Derrig “If you want to have color all summer long, you can’t beat plumbago, and I also like Verbena bonariensis.” —Tony Piazza —compiled by Alejandro Saralegui

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE
PLANT OR FLOWER? TOP EXPERTS WEIGH IN
“I’m partial to grasses, particularly native grasses, but I can’t live without Japanese forest grass, or Hakonecloa macra, which likes shade and dry soil. You can put it in a dark closet, and it will grow!” —Tony Piazza, garden designer
“It changes from day to day, but probably ‘Papa Meilland’, a velvety black-red tea rose that’s a cross between ‘Chrysler Imperial’ and ‘Charles Maillerin’. It has the most classic, strong rose scent.” —Catherine Warren, garden consultant and rose specialist
94
THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2020/2021
“I love sunflowers, which are very attractive to pollinators. One of my favorites is ‘Mammoth’, an heirloom variety that can reach 12 feet in height and puts out huge flowerheads with tons of seeds.” —Pam Healey, garden consultant and plant specialist
“Privet. It performs well even in sandy soil, and you can do a lot with it. A healthy privet hedge will grow a foot in a year, so go ahead and make hedges, mazes, and ball forms, or cut arches into it.” —Edmund Hollander, landscape architect
“‘Summer Crush’, a hydrangea from the Endless Summer series. Most hydrangeas are low-maintenance and bloom beautifully as long as they have good growing conditions. Pick just about any one, and you’ll be happy.” —Paige Patterson, garden consultant and plant specialist
“Dinner-plate dahlias are great in arrangements, but right now I’m most excited about cactus-form dahlias, which have spiky petals and come in deep oranges, fuchsias, and purples.” —Lauren Bell Borenstein, dahlia grower —compiled by Alejandro Saralegui

Seven Acre, 8 Bedroom Oceanfront Compound Along 300’ of Beachfront East Hampton. Heroic ocean views are merely the prologue to the story that unfolds off East Hampton’s fabled Further Lane as nearly 7 lush acres on two separate parcels plays host to both house and guest house along 300’ of pristine oceanfront. A gated entry opens to reveal a sprawling 2-story, 5,900 +/- SF residence on its own 5.4 acres designed by Zwirko & Ortmann to incorporate enviable vistas from every room over the gently, undulating dunescape to a vast liquid backdrop. The great room under a vaulted and beamed ceiling forms the nucleus of this chic, recently refurbished retreat which is anchored on one end by a fireplace and on the other by the dining area. A generous eat in kitchen with fireplace opens to a covered porch with room for alfresco dining sure to resonate with conversation and laughter during meals both large and small while looking out to the sea. A guest master with private terrace, an additional fireplaced bedroom suite, powder room and a glass encased office adjacent to the two-car garage complete the first floor. Upstairs,
the master wing with its own terrace finds seclusion on the eastern end of the residence while fortunate guests will be very comfortably ensconced in a generous suite with fireplace and terrace to the west. A separate staircase finds another guest or staff suite. Outside broad stone terraces wrap around the rear of the residence affording expansive views with room for copious lounging to enjoy it all. While a 50’ pool with ocean views is found leeward of the residence framed by a large bluestone patio a new 60’ oceanside infinity edged pool is also a possibility. Noted Hamptons mid-century architect Alfred Scheffer designed the recently renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath guest house with fireplace that resides on its own 1.3 acres seamlessly landscaped into the park-like grounds. The two-story structure with sleeping loft has its own heated Gunite pool and a detached garage creatively transformed into a spacious gym. While both houses are ripe for renovation and expansion, an ambitious new owner might create something more befitting this gorgeous acreage that could include a 12,500 SF new residence oceanside as well as a 6,000 SF guest house, both of which could be enhanced with more square footage in finished lower levels. In addition, the property has more than ample room for a sunken north/south tennis court. With endless possibilities and the broad, white sandy beach at the end of your private walkway, this substantial oceanside compound awaits your private tour. Exclusive. $72M WEB# 872050
