CHATTER

o be or not to be"… that soliloquy of Shakespeare seems to be edging into the limelight once again this time is it to be digital or print.

There are strategic reasons for both and the analysis can be tossed either way like the most delicate of Caesar salads—its acceptance goes to the medium du jour. Remember records? Then there were cassettes and finally CD's. Now all we have are zero's and ones after we download. And the medium is moving along strongly. I'll refrain from my opinion for today because I would like to know your opinions. So don't be shy—let your true feelings out and email me. I hope you are having one gigantic blast this summer. Travel safely and we'll see you soon on the Internet. All the best, James Barra james@culturedlifestyle

BLUESTOCKING

Dream of Venice In Black and White Edited By JoAnn Locktov THE ESSENTIAL SPIRIT OF VENICE. How do we see it? How do we capture it? What does it look like? In Dream of Venice in Black and White, our third book in the Dream of Venice series, we explore Venice as a narrative in chiaroscuro. In a city noted for her luminous palette, there is elegant realism in focusing only on shadow and light. Without the distraction of color, her reality will be exposed.

BLUESTOCKING

Dream of Venice in Black and White is dedicated to Gianni Berengo Gardin. He grew up in Venice and it is where his children were born. He considers himself to be “a Venetian, both in character and at heart.” The acclaimed Italian author Tiziano Scarpa, a Venetian novelist, playwright and poet, has written the Introduction. Tiziano Scarpa contributes a poignant reflection about his life as a Venetian experiencing “perpetual change.” His eloquent and candid introduction exposes the complex issues that threaten the survival of his city.

Author, designer of fabric, furniture, rugs and wallpaper. He's no nubie. No diva he. In the beginning Smyth's good fortune was to be hired by David Easton. “Going to work for David was the best decision I ever made. It was exactly like going to graduate school."

In 1988, after six years with Easton, Matthew Patrick Smyth Interior Design was established and why not. Smyth has been listed as one of the top designers. Classic style and impeccable attention to detail are his hallmarks. An innate sense of taste and learning the rules, "Right and wrong do exist in matters of planning, scale, proportion, the proper height relationship of chairs to tables.” says Smyth. All of that and a genuine care to satisfy the specific needs of his clients is what makes Smyth run. We asked Smyth to share some of his favorite spaces and he was kind enough to write and reveal something about each of the rooms. n

Rediscovered, old cottages have been replaced with homes that take inspiration from their natural surroundings— in fact, the setting was the impetus for this home’s design.

On the shores of the 14,000 acre Lake Minnetonka the cottage was built. Workman had previously worked with these clients on their winter home in Naples, Florida. “Besides our compatibility, being involved from the ground up is always an exhilarating challenge,” says Workman, with her lead designer, Lisa Scott, and the talented team of Petersen/Keller Architects and builder Steven Streeter, oversaw the entire project from initial knockdown to placement of pillows in the finished home.

“This is a very charming historic community,” Workman says. “But the homeowners wanted contemporary lines coupled with organic warmth and a view in every room.” They achieved this in the 8,700 square ft home with its streamlined dynamism clearly contemporary, the soft ambers and grays of natural rock facings and wood imparting the ambiance of home. 42

“I want a home to be a place of comfort," interior designer Alene Workman says. “But from time to time, an interior should offer a sense of drama—a moment in space will stir the eye." And this modern home has drama, yet is extremely organic in nature.

Entering one looks up to Leucos’ spiraled, smooth, chromed and always undulating tubes which capture light from cached bulbs above the main floor’s stairwell. The spectacular glass view stairwell has bespoke detailing which overlooks the large waterfront. The hallway has custom teak designed wall panels concealing doors, closets and storage cabinets. Custom-designed sofas in neutral gray linen and wool surround the living room’s unique cocktail table by Josh Houshmand. Made of walnut, complete with burls and splits, the natural shape is enveloped by 3⁄4 inch thick glass. The off-white color tones and beautiful wood allow the interiors and exteriors to beautifully co-exist. Across the room, the designer again uses wood, this time to face a wall and its disappearing door.

Using copper that appears delicately woven, Workman custom designed a metallic wall that couples with a soft headboard of leather positioned to maximize viewing the 27 acres of the lake. For a place to read are softly lit angular bedside lamps from Holly Hunt. Warm neutral tones abound punctuated with natural light and amber colored throw pillows. The creamy tone of the patterned area rug from Stark is picked up on a facing wall clad in Parisian ivory marble. Workman created a haven of sheer luxury that includes a master bath with dimensions that rival that of the sleeping area. Lit from above, a teak grid over the MTI vessel tub captures the eye. Through dramatic double glass doors set against the sheen of marble flooring, the wife’s vanity is to the right and the husband’s space is to the left. The solitary union of shape and texture becomes art in the master bath. “Though there is a privacy shade of course, I wanted the owners to be able to take advantage of the wonderful vista to be had from the warmth of a bath.” “I traveled for two years from start to finish working on this wonderful project,” Workman says. “I already loved my clients, and now I think I’ve come to love the North country, too!”

THE SIXTH CUSTOM HOME DESIGNED BY FU TUNG CHENG, HOUSE 6 is a monolith of human proportion and warm, natural materials. The house is a place of refuge and repose, one that warmly envelopes its inhabitants and guests—the home’s 12-inch concrete walls providing a sense of safety and security. The concept was to create a building that, while minimalist, would convey integral tactile design and craft throughout by “playing ” with and controlling the mix design of the co n c re te wa l l s a s t h ey we re b e i n g p o u re d . T h e o n l y e l e m e nt re m a i n i n g from the original house is the kidney-shaped pool, refinished to harmonize with the house. CULTURED LIFESTYLE

AT FIRST GLANCE, the two-story house reads as a modern fortress, but upon closer inspection this “fortress” is surrounded by a lush, colorful garden that mounds up to embrace the exterior walls making it seem as if the structure is rising from the earth. Spontaneous color and texture placed by hand within the concrete walls make the home warm and approachable. The entry canopy greets visitors at a height that is almost touchable as the sound of the indoor/outdoor water feature ushers visitors into an intimate foyer area. Human connectivity and scale were key to maintaining the idea of “refuge.” House 6 is not spectacular in size, but a collection of intimate spaces inside and out—even the “grandest” space, the living area, is large without being excessive.

AT THE ENTRYWAY, a bamboo gutter diverts rainwater to the garden. The outdoor water feature flows into the house, bringing good energy to the home, arriving at a pond that bridges inside and outside. Live, petite pond fish and the presence and sound of water connects nature to the home itself, filled with organic, natural materials. The living room’s entire south- and west-facing window walls pleat open to provide a seamless indoor/outdoor experience. Craftsmanship and artistry is keenly present in every aspect of the floors, walls and ceiling. Concrete and natural materials are layered, thoughtfully hand-placed, colored, and textured in a smooth, ground, and inlaid finish. Concrete floors were raked and ground to provide both decorative and non-slip functions. Walls were “slip-cast” by reusing the same wall forms every 4 feet in order to creatively 82

control hand-placing and integrally coloring the concrete. The numeric house address “6” was captured in concrete as a graphic element and is a serendipitous nod to the home being the sixth of Fu Tung’s custom home projects. Even more appropriate, the symbol “6” has been long-associated with domestic stability, smoothness and tranquility—ideal sentiments to cast in stone for the house intended for refuge and repose. The 4,000 s.f. house is a hybrid structure of a monolithic core of concrete and traditional wood framing, traditional rough, board-formed concrete walls and hyper-smooth concrete walls, articulated with bands of exposed aggregate. Family communal life occurs in the concrete structure of the main living core while private life occurs in the wood-framed wings.

CULTURED LIFESTYLE

THE CONCRETE WALLS WERE POURED USING A FORMWORK-REDUCING slip-cast technique. The 4' x 8' panels comprised of plastic laminate and plywood were ganged together in single-height 4' “lifts.” With each lift came the ability to control how the concrete was performing. Reaching into the forms added subtle bands of color and prevented any marring of the glossy smooth forms. In addition to the slip-cast technique providing aesthetically beautiful finished concrete, there are environmental benefits as well: because the cast walls are finished when the forms are removed, there is no need for additional finish materials; casting in “lifts,” one pour on top of another, reuses and thus reduces formwork material itself; concrete remains cool during warm days and releases heat during chilly evenings, eliminating the need for air conditioning. n

e wanted to create a place that would fit into a large piece of property in such a way to maximize views of the site and nearby creek. Nature and natural light were thematic and enduring objects of desire. I hoped to create a bucolic kind of place that would feel natural and be, in some ways, reminiscent of old farmhouses from our memories," says Jeffrey Dungan, Architect, with a glow of someone who just won the trifecta.

The materials we used were important—they always are. We kept to the tried and true things and simplicity was the guide. A “cap” of cedar shakes that would weather over time and walls of stone and wooden boards made an exterior that felt at once in keeping with the natural setting. Like older structures often times exhibited, I wanted these exterior wall materials to also be used inside as well, rather than more conventional answers. The layout and interiors followed a combination of cues from the rolling topography and views into the woods and the creek. I broke the house into smaller pieces based on functions, kitchen and dining, great room, and bedrooms. Each piece could then relate more specifically to frame views and outdoor areas by their orientation—which yielded exactly the kind of wonky rooflines I recalled from farmhouses in America and Europe.

effrey Dungan: Stylistically speaking we were taking a farmhouse but also wanted to steer clear of the pastiche that can come along

with it. We wanted a warm place that was also clean and fresh.

There would be no pitchforks or wagon wheels or red and white checkered fabrics in this house. So inside we used some of the exterior materials, which, for me, made for a sense of authenticity

and character. At the same time, we allowed these materials to mature and evolve with a greater sense of sophistication. Wood planks turned into paneling with added details of pencil molding

and stains with washes of neutral tones. I had never done a kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling but that is exactly what we did and the effect was a wonderful quality of natural light and views out over the pool and to the creek. Working with Beth McMillan was one of the most seamless and easy design collaborations I have experienced. Her flair for sophisticated and approachable design was the perfect fit for the goals of this project. She worked not just on the furnishings and décor but got her hands dirty along with us on much of the colors and stains we were making sample after sample of. I love working with great interior designers and enjoy experiencing how their unique gifts and vision changes where I may have been headed.

eth McMillan: Being an interior designer for a long time and having seen many beautiful projects and creations, this farmhouse, from the ground up

was truly beyond itself in stature and beauty—quite magical as our “dream team” watched it come to life. Something about its unfolding moved us—the soul of the house put us in the direction it wanted to become for its owners. Best described as if looking at an old still life painting that came alive before

our eyes this farmhouse has an unmatched, and very valuable, persona!

Wanting the interiors to have a feeling of the outside coming in was achieved through a combination of rich earth colors, the flooding of natural light, raw woods, natural stone and antique wooden furniture. There was no heavy drapery, instead, exposed wood floors, low light sconce lighting and intimate seating arrangements. Essentially, this is an approach to high-end décor minimalism—nothing trendy, just touches throughout of artistic, edgy, décor-boldness. The two visions of interiors and architecture worked in perfect harmony. It was to be “one with nature” and feel as though the house and carriage house had been there for many generations, passed down with its collected treasures included in the deed—sophisticated, rustic elegance, family friendly, timeless and quite magical. n INTERIOR DESIGN: BETH MCMILLAN ARCHITECT: JEFFREY DUNGAN
