Spiritual bodies

Sculptor Ebitenyefa Baralaye discusses Black history and identity and how they both shape his work

A gauzy plaster and burlap form mounted on a wooden frame, Revelator, 2016, is an imposing sculpture. “I was thinking about what it means for someone to exist between heaven and earth, manifesting things that are heavenly while being grounded in the material,” says sculptor Ebitenyefa Baralaye.

The work is one acquisition for the new International African American Museum (IAAM) in Charleston, South Carolina. It is on the site of Gadsden’s Wharf, once the largest slave port in the US—up to 40% of enslaved Africans disembarked there. Baralaye feels the acquisition is appropriate: “For a lot of enslaved people, holding on to a hope that was bigger than themselves was key to dealing with the oppressive reality of their lives.”

Baralaye was born in Nigeria, grew up in Antigua, studied ceramics at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Cranbrook Academy of Art, and now lectures in Detroit. Primarily working with clay, he often incorporates other natural materials such as wood, plaster, and fiber. “I’m very much interested in Black and African abstraction, particularly from West Africa, and I speak through that lens,” he says. “I also think about what it means to represent the identity of Blackness now, here in the US.”

Another motivation is his faith and his interest in spirituality. A recent series of glazed stoneware busts refers to the significance the head is given by the Yoruba people, who believe it is where the soul resides. Baralaye is expanding the series to include the entire body.

The IAAM spotlights the history and achievements of Black Americans. According to the museum, “Baralaye’s work perfectly fits our mission of telling the untold stories of the African American journey”.

Baralaye’s work has also been shown at a number of international galleries including Friedman Benda, Shoshana Wayne Gallery, and David Klein Gallery in the US, and the Korea Ceramic Foundation in South Korea. His most recent exhibition, Making Space: Tracing Tomorrow, was at Friedman Benda Los Angeles, where he showed decorated terracotta and stoneware vases. What Baralaye refers to as “finial” forms, these pieces take inspiration from Yoruba sculptor Olowe of Ise, who worked as a royal artist for the Arinjale (king) of Ise in the 19th century.

Baralaye says that works such as Revelator capture the joys and power of the African American experience. “It’s important for me as a Black person to understand history,” he says. “But it is also important for the things that speak to Black creativity to not simply be in response to Black struggle.” Visit iaamuseum.org

INTERVIEW

Bringing the art in

At British designer Kit Kemp’s hotels, art, craft, and design take center stage. Her latest venture, opening in New York next year, is a case in point

The celebrated British artist Sir Howard Hodgkin’s largest-ever set of prints was also his last: he was in his late 70s when he made the 20ft, vibrant splashes of color that make up As Time Goes By. The interior designer Kit Kemp saw them in his studio shortly before Hodgkin died. The huge work now hangs in the bowling alley of Kemp’s Ham Yard Hotel in London.

It is one of the 10 establishments that Kemp and her husband Tim have opened under the Firmdale Hotels family. When the couple unveils the Warren Street Hotel in Tribeca in March next year, their third in New York, after Crosby Street and The Whitby, patrons will also be seeing the city’s newest gallery of art and crafts.

On the walls of any Firmdale hotel, one can see pieces by stellar artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Louise Bourgeois, Jim Dine, Alexander Calder, Sir Terry Frost, Tony Cragg, and Fernando Botero. “We have bought work by great artists, but it’s also wonderful to discover new ones just before they find fame,” says Kemp. “It’s about what I see, about falling in love with a piece of art, rather than buying a name—it’s all very democratic.” One recent “find” was Ugandan artist Sanaa Gateja, whose beaded textile works she bought for the Warren Street Hotel. “We have to start collecting long before a hotel opens,” she says. “Now suddenly he is having exhibitions in New York and everywhere—but we got there first.”

If all Firmdale properties are distinguished from their blander rivals by their use of original pieces, signature design flourishes do the same job. There are bold patterns and colors, and tall headboards, often with a hand-stitched appliqué design, as the focal point of every

Eileen Cooper, Dancing and Solitude, 2015, on display in The Whitby, New York.

Above right: Kit Kemp in her Hyde Park home; Room 1408 at The Whitby Hotel features a custom headboard

bedroom. “One room is orange, with a huge black and white headboard. I recently overheard a family party—in town for a wedding—who were astonished to see that every bedroom in the Crosby Street Hotel is decorated differently,” she says.

Though Kemp wants to leave some surprises for the Warren Street opening, she reveals that the foyer is designed around bold geometric works by British painter Vanessa Jackson, whose abstract work she saw at the Royal Academy of Arts’ Summer Exhibition in London. There will also be fantastical childlike painted scenes by a favorite Spanish artist, Ramiro Fernández Saus, as well as ceramics. “Something made by hand appeals to all of the senses in an easy, not insistent way,” she says. Huge pots by Carol Wainwright and Daniel Reynolds’ powerful shapes will both appear, and charming painted plates by Robina Jack, which Kemp is known to frame and hang in a grid on a wall.

A chandelier by the textile-designerturned-lighting-artist Gareth Devonald Smith has been commissioned, and there will be “curving minaret-like baskets, reaching floor to ceiling” by the Argentinian basket-maker Cristián Mohaded. Collections of smaller pieces—for example, original design sketches for Sèvres vases—will work alongside large abstract canvases. It is a rich mix. “The important thing is to let the art breathe, give

The toast of Tribeca

it space,” Kemp says. She applies the same principle to her use of color: “It’s good to be bold without getting frantic, it’s about how you balance color and pattern. With every interior, you should want to sit there forever.”

Her mission is to make hotels that are both exciting and original. Those Howard Hodgkin prints in London were joined by 36 pairs of eBay-bought bowling shoes in clear plastic cases. She seems sure to succeed again at Warren Street. Visit firmdalehotels.com

Architectural Digest put Ike Kligerman Barkley on its AD100 list for the firm’s “old-meets-new sensibility”, and the architect’s expert touch is in evidence throughout this impressive Tribeca loft, which it created with another AD100 alum, and designer to the stars, Monique Gibson. Inside the 3,735 sq ft home, a grand foyer greets you straight out of the elevator, and leads to a living area with nearly 50 ft of linear frontage. Other features include hand painted wall murals by Dean Barger Studios, a Saint Laurent marble center island in the kitchen, a dressing room with custom oak millwork and antiqued mirror details. It is right beside the district’s best restaurants, parks, schools, and transportation links.

A look at upcoming car events and the vehicles on offer at Monterey Car Week

Excitement is building for RM Sotheby’s 2023 Monterey Car Week auction after an incredible edition last year that grossed more than $230 million in sales. The annual event—which sees some of the rarest and most-coveted cars go under the hammer— is a global highlight that attracts collectors and fans worldwide.

Last year’s sale is a tough act to follow, having seen a 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC Spider, a 1998 Ferrari F300 F1 car, and a one-of-akind 2022 Porsche 911 “Sally Special”—that went on to be the most expensive factory Porsche ever sold—but this year includes some equally spectacular vehicles.

The star of the show is undoubtedly the 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 once owned by Hollywood star Steve McQueen. The car was delivered new to the Hollywood star on the set of his 1968 film, Bullitt, and went on to be owned by actor Guy Williams, then Formula 1, Indy 500 and Le Mans racer Vern Schuppan. It was last sold for $10.1 million, by RM Sotheby’s in 2014, with a range of international bidders attempting to get their hands on it. This year will very likely see the same level of interest.

bassist Guy Berryman. One of only 36 built, it underwent a full restoration in 2021 by Rizza Classic in Italy to ensure it is in the best condition—this is backed up by its class win and Best of Show runner-up recognition in the 2021 Salon Privé Concours d’Elégance.

A 1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT Coupé, meanwhile, is being offered from a private collection. Only 35 were built, and this is one of just 27 that feature Pinin Farina’s body design. It has undergone some mechanical and cosmetic changes: rather than its original Grigio exterior and Arancio leather interior, it’s a striking blue and tan combination, and its original V12 has been replaced by a Maranello-built Type 112 motor. This was the 25th car of its kind to roll off the production line in Maranello, Italy, where all Ferraris are made. It was later exhibited at the Paris Motor Show, before heading to the US. Introduced in 1953, and powered by a 3.0-litre V12 engine, it was an important step for Ferrari as the direct predecessor to the 250 GT series—the iconic lineup went on to win numerous races, including Le Mans, Tour de France Automobile, and the World Championship for Sports Cars.

The ancients wore them, so does Rihanna: the cameo is no longer just for the history books

As a daughter of antique dealers, Anna Porcu grew up handling cameos. But she wouldn’t wear one as a brooch or pendant. “I needed to make them powerful and wearable in a different way,” she says.

The Italian jewelry artist has created one-of-a-kind bracelets and necklaces that combine 19th and early 20th-century cameos— small-scale raised portraits or scenes, often mythological, carved in materials including shell and agate— with leather for a contemporary look. Her work, featured in sales at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, is part of a wave of contemporary jewelry that is modernizing the form, which has roots in the ancient Mediterranean.

Now, another Italian, Francesca Villa, makes colorful, one-off “Be Yourself” rings, which pair antique and vintage cameos with precious metals, gemstones, and enamel. A recent brooch by Munich-based Hemmerle updates a 19th-century agate Medusa cameo by teaming it with diamonds, aluminum, and white gold.

Other jewelers have drawn on the historic technique to make cameos.

Liz Swig, founder of US creative platform LizWorks, collaborated with photographers Cindy Sherman and Catherine Opie on jewelry launched at the 2019 Venice Biennale. Amedeo

Scognamiglio, whose family have been cameo carvers in Naples since the 19th century, has, he says, “reinvented the old iconography” with designs including skulls and monkeys. His contemporary brand Amedeo has turned what was often considered to be “grandma’s jewelry” into something worn by celebrities, including Rihanna.

The renewed interest is apt for a tradition that has enjoyed revivals in popularity over the centuries, including during the Neo-Classical period, and the British Georgian and Victorian eras. A gold ring with an onyx cameo of George IV (dated circa 1820) features in the Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians exhibition at the Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, London, until October 8.

Marie-Cécile Cisamolo, a jewelry specialist at Sotheby’s, says the “resurgence” of cameo jewelry extends to the auction market. Sotheby’s sold a Neo-Renaissance gold-mounted agate cameo pendant featuring the profile of Charles V of Spain for €6,048, three times the low estimate, in October 2022.

“You can have an important piece of history around your neck or on your finger, but it’s understated,” says Cisamolo. “Since Covid, people want to wear jewelry that has quality without being too showy, and cameos hit the spot.”

Sotheby’s 50th anniversary in Asia

To celebrate the historic occasion, a gala dinner was held at the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong on April 2. Following welcome remarks from Nathan Drahi, managing director, Asia, guests enjoyed a series of dance and musical performances. An evening of record-breaking anniversary auctions followed on April 5, which started with the single-lot sale of Zhang Daqian’s Pink Lotuses on Gold Screen, 1973. The painting sold for the equivalent of $32 million—the third-highest price for the artist’s work at auction.

Test driving on ice

This February, RM Sotheby’s partnered with The ICE St Moritz (The International Concours of Elegance) for its annual gathering on a frozen lake in Switzerland. Sotheby’s Chief Executive Officer Charles F Stewart, and Peter Wallman, RM Sotheby’s chairman, UK and EMEA, inspected a vintage Bentley 3-liter raced at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1925.

On June 9, Sotheby’s RM will partner with Le Mans and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest on an auction in celebration of 100 years of the iconic race.

Restoration in action

On April 20, Sotheby’s and World Monuments Fund (WMF) were hosted by the Howard family for a day at Castle Howard, North Yorkshire. (See p38 for more on the restoration of the stately home.) Guests toured vital restoration projects, including works to the Mausoleum, with John Darlington, executive director of WMF Britain. Designed by Nicholas

Hawksmoor and regarded as one of the finest free-standing mausoleums in northern Europe, it remains the private burial place of the Howard family. Later, the Honorable Nicholas Howard and Dr Chris Ridgeway— curator at Castle Howard for nearly 40 years—shared stories about collection highlights and the historic estate’s remarkable history.

THIS SEASON

A spotlight on women in art

In honor of this year’s International Women’s Day, Sotheby’s London held a series of free, public talks. They included Breathe and Feel, Suffer and Love, which saw British artist Tracey Emin—whose sculpture The Mother, 2022, is installed outside the Munch museum in Oslo—and Sotheby’s vice chairman Simon Shaw explore Edvard Munch’s relationship with the women in his life. Elsewhere, fashion and jewelry designer Paloma Picasso, curator and art critic Iwona Blazwick OBE, and Sotheby’s head of Evening Sale Emma Baker discussed the influence of female collectors. The event was chaired by the Barbican Centre’s artistic director and former BBC arts editor Will Gompertz.

The series was part of Sotheby’s (Women) Artists auction campaign, which celebrates female artists’ work throughout history. Both talks are available to stream at sothebys.com

Celebrating Mary McCartney

More than 30 works by photographer Mary McCartney, including portraits, still-lifes and landscapes, were displayed in a selling exhibition at Sotheby’s St George Street Gallery from March 9–April 2. The show, which was part of Sotheby’s (Women) Artists’ campaign, focused on McCartney’s depictions of vulnerable moments of the people close to her. A cocktail reception was held to kick off the show, with celebrity guests including her father, music legend Paul McCartney.

Basquiat sells in LA

On February 16, Sotheby’s Los Angeles hosted a cocktail reception for the selling exhibition Basquiat: Young King, which featured the artist’s works on canvas, paper, found objects and surfaces. Although he was a prominent figure in the New York art scene, Basquiat often spent long stretches of time in LA, staying at art dealer Larry Gagosian’s Venice Beach home in the 1980s and making around 100 paintings during his time there. Many of the works from the show include references to African history and African American pop culture icons and fame—themes and iconography that became synonymous with his work. Among the highlights was Zingest—part of a series he made in LA for a March 1983 solo exhibition—which saw him developing his key motif of the crown.

Sparkling joy

Witnessing steady growth since the pandemic, champagne sales continue to pop

Champagne moves in such exalted circles— glamorous parties, society weddings, Grand Prix podiums—that it is easy to forget that it is actually a wine. And, like every wine with the potential to age, it is much in demand both from collectors and investors, and never more than now. Over the past two years, leading cuvées have soared in value: 1992 Krug Clos du Mesnil has jumped 92% from £1,176 a bottle to £2,260, 2008 Louis Roederer Cristal by 68% from £167 to £281 and the 2007 vintage of the prestigious growers’ champagnes, Pierre Péters, has leaped from £125 a bottle to £282, up 126%.*

Richard Young, vice president, senior specialist, wine for Sotheby’s, explains that interest in champagne has been increasing since the start of the pandemic. Despite champagne’s production levels being at their highest, even for many of the most prestigious cuvées, Young identifies two main factors that led to the hike in prices. “Emerging markets have pushed up global demand, while market leaders—Dom Pérignon, Krug, Louis Roederer Cristal, and

some of the best growers’ champagnes— have tightened allocations, driving prices up and fuelling speculation from both trade buyers and collectors.”

The temptations for investors are obvious: Young also credits “a string of outstanding vintages—2002, 2008, 2012— that have strongly encouraged speculation. And it’s interesting to note that collectors now desire champagne in their cellars just as much as fine burgundy or bordeaux.” And champagne, he thinks, is promoting and marketing itself “very successfully to a younger, more diverse and affluent clientele”.

And what of the future? Can champagne sustain the growth levels of the past few years? Young feels that champagnes that have been allowed to age and those with a smaller production will do best. The fizzing interest in champagne is unlikely to slow down anytime soon.

Unusually for Salon, this cream of the Mesnil crop was only bottled in magnums in 2008: a mere 8,000 of them, so demand certainly outstrips supply for this magni cently concentrated and complex wine.

Jacques Selosse Extra Brut Millésime 2008 (750ml), $4,295

There is something almost burgundian about the texture and power of Selosse’s champagne—it is vini ed in old barrels from Domaine Le aive —and the hauntingly herbal, lemon-scented 2008 is a ne example from a great vintage.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2008 (magnum/1.5L), $1,295

60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, from the vintage in which Roederer rst used biodynamically grown grapes (40% of them): stunningly rich and opulent champagne that will easily last another decade.

Enterprising collectors are creating luxurious locations where lovers of art, architecture, wine, and fine food can experience them all, says

Christina Makris

People who love art usually enjoy the other finer things in life, such as good food, wine, picturesque landscapes, and elegant architecture. Now it is increasingly possible to enjoy these pleasures all at once. Across the world, owners of historic buildings and vineyards are boosting their potential as tourism destinations by using them as a backdrop for their art collections. From wineries in Chile, Tuscany, and California, to castles in Ireland and Italy, a former monastery in Croatia and a coaching inn in Scotland, they have created immersive spaces where a range of cultural and culinary offerings meet in beautiful surroundings. Some provide luxury accommodation and spas, others are the perfect spot for a day trip. All eight are a feast for the senses.

THE FIFE ARMS, SCOTLAND

Hidden in the Scottish Highlands in Braemar, close to the Balmoral Estate—which was bought by Queen Victoria in 1852 and is beloved by the British royal family—the 46 sumptuously decorated bedrooms and suites of this 19th-century coaching inn are inspired by local places and famous visitors to the town. Among them were novelist, poet, and essayist Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote parts of Treasure Island while on holiday in Braemar, and fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who is now commemorated in the art deco Elsa’s cocktail bar.

The Fife Arms belongs to the art dealers and philanthropists Iwan and Manuela Wirth, co-founders of the international gallery Hauser & Wirth. The hotel incorporates 14,000 antiques and artworks, ranging from the 16th century to modern masterpieces and contemporary commissions. There is a self-playing Steinway piano decorated by Mark Bradford, portraits by Picasso and Lucian Freud, photographs by Man Ray and Hans Bellmer, and a ceiling painted by Zhang Enli. The main restaurant is the Clunie Dining Room, which features a mural by the Argentinian artist Guillermo Kuitca that was inspired by the local landscape. thefifearms.com

Norwegian financier, investor and art collector Alexander Vik and his wife Carrie founded their 11,000-acre Chilean winery, Viña Vik, in central Chile in 2004. Guests can enjoy award-winning wines while dining on a seasonal organic menu devised by executive chef Rodrigo Acuña Bravo.

bungalows were each designed in collaboration with architect Marcelo Daglio, enabling guests to stay in an immersive artwork while enjoying 360-degree panoramic views of the spectacular landscape. The futuristic winery building was designed by the Chilean-Croatian architect Smiljan Radic, who designed the 2014 Serpentine Pavilion in London, and the couple’s art collection is spread throughout the building. Works include paintings by Roberto Matta, a light work by James Turrell, and a diptych by Anselm Kiefer.

CASTELLO DI AMA, ITALY

A visit to the Castello di Ama vineyard, between Siena and Florence in the Chianti region of Italy, is a sensory feast. Since 1999, the estate’s proprietors, Lorenza Sebasti and Marco Pallanti, have commissioned sculptures and installations as an offering of thanks to the land and its spirit, which also infuses the philosophy of their wine-making. Artists who have made works include Michelangelo Pistoletto, Daniel Buren, Giulio Paolini, Anish Kapoor, Carlos Garaicoa, Cristina Iglesias, Louise Bourgeois, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Chen Zhen, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Lee Ufan, and Roni Horn.

The latest work to be unveiled is a garden installation by Jenny Holzer, which features heavily scented helichrysum flowers and excerpts of poetry by Patrizia Cavalli and WS Merwin.

LOPUD 1483, CROATIA

The history of this former Franciscan monastery on the small island of Lopud, just off the coast of Dubrovnik, is a little hazy. It was built in 1483, but many of its records were lost in the massive earthquake that hit the area in 1667, which largely destroyed the city. The monastery fell into disuse, and while there was still a functioning church on the site in the 1990s, the surrounding buildings were becoming increasingly dilapidated, a situation highlighted by the World Monuments Fund in 1996.

The following year, the collector and philanthropist Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza began what would become a 20-year project to restore the monastery buildings. The 13 monks’ cells have been sympathetically transformed into five suites that fuse ancient and modern. Traditional plaster walls and woodwork are combined with handmade furniture by the Italian designer Paola Lenti and carefully curated works from Thyssen-Bornemisza’s extensive TBA21 contemporary art collection.

Lopud 1483 offers a variety of locations that can be tailored to every taste, from private gatherings to high-profile events, as well as seminars, performances, and concerts. lopud1483.com

LISMORE CASTLE, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

The Anglo-Norman Castle was built in County Waterford in 1185, on the site of a seventh-century monastery within sight of the imposing Knockmealdown Mountains. In the late-16th century the statesman and adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh bought the castle, but had to sell it after he was imprisoned for high treason in 1602. It later became the Irish home of the dukes of Devonshire, who acquired it in the mid-18th century. William Cavendish, the sixth duke, commissioned the Gothic revival architect Augustus Pugin to add a medieval hall, and asked Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of the Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, to create the lower garden.

The castle is still owned by the family, and their 15-bedroom residential wing is available for hire, but only in its entirety, rather than as individual rooms. The castle is an ideal venue for a celebration as it can accommodate up to 27 guests. One wing has been converted to house Lismore

The seven-acre gardens, which are open to the public between March and October, are divided into upper and lower areas. The upper garden dates from the early 17th century and is considered by many to be the oldest cultivated garden in Ireland. The flower borders and lawns coexist with sculptures by Antony Gormley, Franz West, Bridget McCrum, and Eilis O’Connell. The lower garden has an impressive collection of plants that love its acidic soil, including magnolia and camellias. lismorecastlegardens.com; lismorecastlearts.ie; thehallandlismorecastle.com

THE DONUM ESTATE, CALIFORNIA, USA

Founded in 2001, the Donum Estate in Sonoma, northern California, is a leader in single-vineyard pinot noir and chardonnay wines. Spread over 200 acres of hillside, it also includes groves of olive and eucalyptus trees and lavender fields.

The estate was acquired by the Danish entrepreneur and businessman Allan Warburg and his wife Mei in 2010, and the collectors have spent the past 13 years transforming the landscape with sculptures from their personal collection. Their taste is broad: artists whose work they have acquired include Ai Weiwei, Lynda Benglis, Anselm Kiefer, Louise Bourgeois, Gao Weigang, Ugo Rondinone, Zhan Wang, Keith Haring, Jaume Plensa, Elmgreen & Dragset, Fernando Botero, Richard Hudson, and Yue Minjun.

Warburg first went to China as student, and by the 1990s had set up a joint venture there with the Danish fashion company Bestseller, importing and selling western fashion into a fast-growing emerging market. Bestseller Fashion Group now has about 7,000 stores in the Far East. Warburg now resides in Hong Kong with his wife Mei. There isn’t a hotel at the Donum Estate as yet, but there are daily tours for visitors to taste the wines in a specially commissioned pavilion designed by the artist Olafur Eliasson and the architect Sebastian Behmann. thedonumestate.com

CASTELLO SAN BASILIO, ITALY

This fortress, near Matera in the southern Italian region of Basilicata, was built to protect a monastic community in the seventh century. It is now owned by the Berlingieri family, who have housed their art collection throughout the property for the past five decades. In 2019 the young collector Aloisia Leopardi was invited to start a program dedicated to artistic research, experimentation, and collaboration. The castle is now a project space for cultural exchange

HEART

of the city

The tree-house observation pod at the recently transformed Kingsbury Commons in Pease Park

On any given Saturday night, as the sun settles in the hills beyond Austin, Texas, a parade of sleek cars pulls up to the corner of West Lynn and West 12th. Their destination is Jeffrey’s, which, for nearly 50 years, has been one of the city’s finest restaurants. Founded in 1975, the restaurant hosted the Austin elite—from Lady Bird Johnson to Laura Bush— for decades before it was sold in 2011 to Larry McGuire and Tom Moorman, a pair of enterprising young chefs. They brought in Emily Little and Paul Clayton of Clayton & Little Architects (now Clayton Korte) for the renovation.

A table at Jeffrey’s remains one of the city’s most coveted, in part because the creative team chose to amplify, not erase, what was already there. For Clayton, it was more about emotion—the warm and friendly feeling that the original owners, Ron and Peggy Weiss, gave the place—than any specific finish or flourish. The architects embraced the history of the three storefronts that comprise the site, disjointed floor plates and all, to create an ambiance that would resonate with the “tight-knit community”: low lights, rich materials, a warm welcome, and top-notch service. Clayton still keeps in touch with the Weisses, and his office recently hosted an exhibition of Peggy’s artwork. The restaurant was the first of a number of Austin institutions started in the 1970s that McGuire Moorman Hospitality (MMH, changed to MML Hospitality in 2021) was able to acquire, as the generation who shaped the city’s food scene began to retire. “Larry’s genius,” says Clayton, “is knowing that goodwill exists, then turning the volume up on it.” Their portfolio now includes 19 bars and restaurants, two hotels (one in Austin, one in New Orleans), and luxury fashion shops, with more to come.

Jeffrey’s offers a glimpse into the city’s past but, to judge by the restaurant and retail boom happening around it, it was also a harbinger for the new super-cool area that’s coming into being just west of Downtown. In the historic neighborhood of Clarksville, a network of homegrown talent has gone all-in on a different type of redevelopment. They are blending preservation and innovation to create an updated, upscale vision for old Austin— one that feels entirely fitting.

Up a steep limestone hill about a mile and a half from the Texas State Capitol, Clarksville has some of the oldest roots in the city—it was founded by Charles Clark, a former enslaved man, in 1871. Clark bought a couple of acres of land and built a house on what is now West 10th Street and sold plots to other freedmen. The neighborhood’s origins are celebrated today at the Hezikiah Haskell House on Waterston Avenue. Clarksville would not last long as an early hub for the city’s Black population. In 1928 the segregationist city authorities enacted a plan to move its African American residents to less valuable land on the East Side.

Over the past decade, Clarksville, a central district of the Texan capital, has been transformed by a creative set of architects, restaurateurs and more, writes Heather Corcoran

Jeffrey’s, first opened in 1975, is still one of Austin’s favorite fine dining spots

During the later 20th century, Clarksville became a haven for academics from the nearby University of Texas at Austin, and even musicians passing through, such as Texan rock legend Janis Joplin. Today, Clarksville is a quiet, oak-lined neighborhood—one of the city’s few walkable ones—of stately 19th-century homes and Craftsman bungalows, but it’s undergoing yet another transformation.

The neighborhood’s northern gateway is Kingsbury Commons, the first phase to be implemented in the transformation of Pease District Park, one of the city’s oldest green spaces. Helmed by Ten Eyck Landscape Architects, the $15 million project opened in 2021, and sympathetically incorporated existing features of the space, including mature vegetation and Civilian Conservation Corps-era concrete picnic tables. The result is seven acres of native plants, local Texas limestone blocks, and the type of weathering steel used by cattle ranchers, the practical beauty of which only gets better in the harsh climate.

The park’s most whimsical (and surely its most Instagrammed) feature is a spherical tree-house made from a nest of woven rebar by Mell Lawrence Architects. It’s echoed in the vine-covered mesh screens of other structures by Clayton Korte, which the architects designed like elegantly detailed agricultural outbuildings to merge into the surrounding landscape. “I joke that fig ivy is one of the most important architectural materials,” says Clayton.

In some ways, Kingsbury Commons looks like it could have always been there as it is today, and it’s easy to imagine it gracefully aging into Austin’s next century. The park’s quiet beauty begs visitors to pause and look closer in a textured experience that can be hard to find in the new centers popping up around town. “The challenge is doing work that’s durable,” says Clayton, musing on what it means to build for the long-term in a town where a tsunami of tech investment has transformed the skyline of a place once beloved for its small-town feel. “There’s so much design work out there that is meant to be ‘of today’. But you drive down the street, and it’s just littered with everybody’s best idea on a particular day. Sometimes people just don’t know how to be sympathetic to what’s already there.”

To experience Clarksville like a local, visitors would do well to start at MML’s Austin Proper Hotel on 2nd Street, which opened in 2020 with interiors by AD100 Hall of Fame designer Kelly Wearstler. Rich with patchworks of carpet and wood, the textural space evokes the city’s hippy heritage. From a perch by the rooftop pool, take in the views of Lady Bird Lake, the kayakdotted section of the Colorado River that snakes through the center of the city. Then take a stroll west, past Austin Central Library—by Lake Flato Architects—and the renovated Seaholm Power Plant with its iconic art moderne lettering. This industrial rehabilitation project, which began in 2013, anchors one of the city’s pioneering

redevelopment successes (and some of the most expensive real estate west of the Mississippi). From there, it’s on to North Lamar Boulevard and up to the luxury boutique ByGeorge, the city’s go-to for high fashion since 1979, where shoppers can pick up pieces by leading designers, from Dries Van Noten and Jil Sander to The Row.

“Its beginnings suited Austin at that moment and, over time, as the city evolved, so did ByGeorge,” says Molly Nutter, ByGeorge’s president. MML owns another ByGeorge in South Congress and a third store in New Orleans.

In 2021 McGuire and Moorman offered a partnership to Liz Lambert, the famed hotelier from West Texas, which prompted the name change from MMH to MML Hospitality. Lambert is credited with putting Austin on the culture trip map when she opened Hotel San José in 2000. Together they are reimagining more Austin stalwarts, with a growing nexus in Clarksville.

At the corner of West 6th and Blanco Street, the striped yellow and white awning of Clark’s Oyster Bar beckons with its coastal charm and bottles of chilled sancerre. Across the street are newcomers Rosie’s Wine Bar and Howard’s Bar and Club, MML’s latest offerings. Tucked behind Clark’s and Austin’s own activewear brand, Outdoor Voices, sits Pecan Square Café, another newly launched MML takeover of a beloved institution, reimagined as a rustic eatery in the style of the Bay Area’s farm-to-table pioneers.

“We are drawn to buildings and spaces with interesting history, and in Austin we have definitely looked to preserve places that we grew up with,” says McGuire. “With that comes restrictions and defined parameters, but we find those energizing in terms of creativity, design, and storytelling.” If it feels like MML is recreating the neighborhood in its own multifaceted image, there may be some truth to that. After all, the city’s first name in hospitality continues to expand its extensive portfolio in ever-broader directions.

“There is an intersection of industry here—food, music, retail— and it goes back to a community that feels so authentic,” says Elle Florescu, proprietor of Elle’s Boutique, “an elevated, modern take on a sex shop” housed in a charcoal-colored bungalow on Blanco. Florescu is McGuire’s partner (the two were introduced by Lambert). She approaches retail as a form of hospitality, curating private sensory experiences where shoppers explore lingerie and luxe sexual self-care goods, such as Coco de Mer’s Orgasm Balm, in a once-residential space inspired by Pierre Yovanovitch and Luca Guadagnino interiors—a touch of louche 1970s Milan in the middle of America.

On any given day, Florescu finds herself popping between meetings with friends at the various MML-affiliated businesses that have established

themselves in this hyper-focused micro-neighborhood. “It almost feels like New York City to me, in a way that only exists in New York,” says Florescu, citing Jane Jacobs’s urbanist bible The Death and Life of Great American Cities. “These organic systems can really only crop up if they’ve been constructed in a way that is authentic. To me, this neighborhood embodies that sentiment.”

The growing buzz is drawing even more excitement to Clarksville. In March the gallerist Lora Reynolds moved her 18-year-old business from a Downtown location to West 6th, trading a storefront at the base of a modern tower for a former grocery store with an original Mission Revival frontage dating to 1925. Reynolds christened the new space with an exhibition of colorful blown-glass and marble snails by The Haas Brothers, Nikolai and Simon, twin artists who grew up a few blocks away.

“We have tried to build institutions that will last and will age well as Austin grows and matures,” says McGuire about his brand of native Texan hospitality. “In that way, I hope we will preserve the feeling of Austin, which is basically laidback places that also strive for excellence. That’s the Austin I grew up with.” 0

Her home is a CASTLE

Victoria Howard is restoring a stately home with the help of its decorative archive. A furnishings line is all part of the process

One of the wonderful things about Castle Howard is its amazing archive,” says its chatelaine, Victoria Howard. “Everything has been kept, including receipts for building materials ordered by Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor,” she adds, referring to John Vanbrugh, the Restoration playwright-turned-architect, and Nicholas Hawksmoor, the protégé of Christopher Wren, who designed the house for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, starting in 1699.

The 145-room house, which took more than 100 years to complete, is about 15 miles north-east of York and is surrounded by an 8,800-acre estate of parkland, woodland and farms. Such an old and enormous building requires constant maintenance and renovation, so there is a rolling program of works to keep the house and its rooms in good order for the 270,000 visitors it attracts every year. The extensive archives are invaluable in this respect, particularly when it comes to the decoration of the historic interiors.

“Somebody had the sense to keep samples of most of the wallpapers that were put up throughout its history,” says Howard. “We have found 140 different patterns.” Luckily, these were all stored in the dark, so their original colors are fresh and vibrant. “We’ve just hung a wonderful 19th-century embossed wallpaper in one small room— there was just enough. There are fabric samples and cuttings, and some quite good lengths—some whole curtains have even been kept.”

This was too good a treasure trove to languish in a storeroom. Howard, who is an entrepreneur to the tips of her fingers, approached Watts 1874, a company that specializes in historic wallpapers and textiles, to produce the first Castle Howard collection of six fabrics and one wallpaper, which was launched in May. Of the fabrics, three are “Indiennes”—inspired by the Indian Tree of Life designs that were popular in Britain in the 18th century. One of these, Howard Indienne, and its matching border, has been used for bed hangings in the Admiral’s bedroom. There are also two ravishing floral chintzes in the collection and a pretty chinoiserie toile in deep pink. The Japanese wallpaper, Goose, a graphic pattern of stylized flying birds that can be seen on the walls of the Archbishop’s bedroom, has faded over the years. Watts will be making two new versions, one in its original colors and another with a more modern acid-yellow ground.

Before taking over the running of Castle Howard in 2016 with her husband Nicholas, a photographer and a descendant of the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, Howard had a starry career in business. She co-founded the publisher 4th Estate in 1984 and rose to become the chief executive of HarperCollins, one of the world’s biggest book companies, in 2000.

WE’VE HAD DIFFERENT LAMPSHADES ESPECIALLY MADE FOR EACH ROOM

Their talents complement one another, she says. “Nick and I are joint chairs, it’s very much a double act. He is visual; I run the business and financial side.”

To help with the collection and with renovating some of the rooms, Howard sought out the American interior designer Remy Renzullo. He has worked closely with Watts 1874 on the fabrics and wallpaper, and also designed some beautiful bedrooms. “Vicky is amazing,” Renzullo says. “She has such a grasp of the complete concept, yet minute attention to detail. In dealing with a house this vast, most people would say: ‘Let’s just put card shades in every room’, but we’ve had different lampshades especially made for each one.”

Alec Cobbe, who has advised on historic decoration and picture hanging for the Royal Collection, is part of the team working on the biggest project: the restoration of the Tapestry Drawing Room, one of 22 rooms damaged by a disastrous fire in 1940, which is still a stone shell. Cobbe has already completed the redecoration of the Lake Sitting Room, and is now engaged on a new scheme for the Long Gallery including a complete rehang.

The majority of Castle Howard’s rooms that survived the 1940 fire are now open to the public, including some dressing rooms that have been converted into bathrooms for its paying guests. Howard solved the problem of asking visitors to stand gazing at the toilet in one of them by buying a large antique wardrobe and putting the toilet inside.

For those with fewer than 145 rooms to decorate, a beautiful Indienne fabric or Goose wallpaper could turn your own home into a castle. 0

OBJECT LESSON

Design gallery Culture Object is putting Midtown Manhattan on the map, says Rima Suqi

Culture Object’s recent exhibition Hyper-Materiality

Right: Gallery founder Damon Crain

To visit Culture Object’s gallery in Manhattan’s Garment District, whose premises were previously storage space for street vendors’ carts, is to experience a full range of emotions. It starts with confusion, followed by surprise, awe and (depending on one’s powers of concentration) alternating levels of distraction. Confusion because, after you are buzzed in, you won’t immediately see anyone. Instead, you enter a small vestibule, a portion of which is hung with bright wallpaper by the American artist Danny Ebru. (A pseudonym—“ebru” is the Turkish art of paper-marbling.) A narrow passageway leads to the surprise: the first in a suite of rooms envisioned by the gallery’s founder Damon Crain and his husband, interior designer John Douglas Eason. “I’m not trying to intimidate,” Crain insists when asked about the entrance. “I want to strip people of their preconceptions, so they’re starting fresh with a sense of curiosity. In doing this, I am emphasizing the fact that everything you’re going to experience here, you’re seeing with new eyes.”

Almost every room of the 1,400 sq ft gallery, which opened in 2021, is painted in a saturated hue that references a historical interior. A blue room was inspired by James McNeill Whistler’s Peacock Room at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; a gold room references Stockholm City Hall’s Golden Hall; and the celadon-green dining room echoes the Frick Collection. Crain presides over all of it clad in a white lab coat. As he tours visitors through the collection, they will undoubtedly experience a sense of awe, followed by distraction. Where to look when surrounded by so much and so many colorful sculptural objects and furnishings? Crain is sympathetic: “It’s new work, and it’s unusual work.”

He’s not exaggerating. There is a glimmering table by Netherlands-based Handmade Industrials, created by hand-shaping molten plastic in a walk-in oven they designed for the purpose; organically shaped ceramics by

British-Brazilian artist Tessa Silva—made with milk and chalk (“When I first uncrated them, there was a bit of a heady aroma,” Crain laughs)—and a sideboard Trey Jones crafted using scrap waste from other woodworkers.

The final room, which was wonderfully described by the designer Jamie Drake as Crain’s “Ali Baba’s cave”, has deep bays inspired by the Greek and Roman galleries in Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum. It is anchored by an installation by Brooklyn-based Gary Fernandez, a composition of interlocking cement forms, each hand-cast then painstakingly configured into an altar-like structure.

The Garment District may seem an unlikely address for one of New York City’s top design galleries, as most dealers prefer the Downtown or Chelsea zip codes where their clientele reside. That’s not the only decision that marks Crain out. Long-recognized as an expert in mid-20th-century glass (he was elected a fellow of the Corning Museum of Glass), his gallery represents about three dozen artists working in a range of media, including glass, but also ceramics, wood, metal, concrete, resin, lacquer, and bioplastics. They may seem random bedfellows, but there is a connective thread, says Crain. “Everything I show connects somehow to the environment, education, and equality.”

These are not words one often hears in the much-hyped world of what has been dubbed “collectible design”. Yet he takes them quite seriously, especially the equality part, which translates into an artist roster that maintains gender balance. While building his program, Crain researched similar galleries worldwide and found that, in terms of representation, “the norm is about 20% women—it is wildly skewed towards men and there’s no justification for that. There is no shortage of women who are talented.” Their work is on prominent display in his gallery, along with a select group of others who are “making functional objects that have a strong conceptual value, meaning they are promoting an agenda and ideas”.

Culture Object remains under the radar compared with buzzier galleries that have the means to exhibit at design shows around the world, yet Crain’s unique vision and offerings have gained him a notable following. “Damon has brought a huge amount of energy into the New York design scene, and I think he’s put his finger on something very important that’s emerging, as well,” notes Glenn Adamson,

Right: Crain’s Peacock Room, inspired by James McNeill Whistler’s 1870s version (below) at the Freer Gallery of Art. The original was designed to house a porcelain collection

“

I AM EMPHASIZING THAT EVERYTHING YOU’RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE HERE, YOU’RE SEEING WITH NEW EYES ”

a curator, writer, and historian who works across the fields of design, craft, and contemporary art. “The artists he represents are diverse, but they share an intense commitment to experimentation, often resulting in a maximalist material expression. I’ve been extremely impressed by the coherence of the program, which reflects Damon’s clear perspective and deep commitment as well as the individual talents that he’s representing.”

Jamie Drake, whose client list ranges from captains of industry to Madonna, and who is not one for hyperbole, says of Crain: “I think he’s a genius. He sources artists who are not as well-known and, unlike other gallerists of his ilk who isolate objects, presenting them in an almost religious way, he presents works with passion and in the way they might live in someone’s home.”

In the three years since Culture Object launched, Crain has edited his representation and evolved his program. Plastics are still important, he says, but “there’s definitely a higher bar for them being accepted by people. Ceramics are now fully part of the art cannon as being a viable material. People not only relate to them but are drawn in and enjoy them.”

His clients, a mix of collectors and interior designers, tend to go for the more extreme pieces in terms of process and design regardless of material. And Crain is all for pushing the creative envelope. “I’m always looking, thinking: ‘What’s the next step?’ I don’t want to be spending my life doing something that’s been done before. I want to be contributing to new ideas.”

“Jian works with mother of pearl inlaid into lacquer, and has found a way to give this historical medium new life without completely ditching the history,” says Crain. She cuts and reassembles pieces, sometimes lifting the mother of pearl from its original setting and remounting it. Her work pushes the boundaries of design and craft, resulting in unique creations that are destined to become modern heirlooms.

Elyce Graham, United States

Graham, says Crain, is at “the 10th level of technique with resin— a material that is suited for specialized and spectacular things that no other material can do.” She casts, carves, and constructs chairs, lights, and other decorative installations using techniques usually associated with sculpture.

“Her works are very conceptual, but in a gentle way, and always impress from an aesthetic point of view.”

Maxwell Mustardo, United States

“It is relevant to mention that Maxwell is a millennial, and so he sees things through a digital lens. His ceramic forms are almost emoji of amphoras and other iconic shapes,” says Crain. Mustardo is constantly inventing new techniques for his colorful, curvaceous forms, most notably the use of PVC rubber coating.

A new generation of collectors is refreshing how we live with antiques, finds Dominic Bradbury

THINGS

At a time when digital stimulation is intruding on almost every aspect of our daily lives, it’s reassuring to see a corresponding uplift in pursuits that feel less frenetic. Book sales are up across the board, slow cooking is well-established, there’s a growing revival of artisan craftsmanship and, at the same time, a resurgence of interest in collecting. All help to suggest that there are now multiple generations of well-informed, 21st-century connoisseurs interested in questions of taste, provenance, and history. A prime example is Michael Diaz-Griffith, whose book The New Antiquarians celebrates contemporary art and the culture of collecting.

“There are, demonstrably, far more young people who are collecting now than at any other time,” says Diaz-Griffith, who is based in New York and is a collector, a curator, and design consultant. “In previous periods, people were often inheriting things and buying antiques, but now they’re taking a little more time to seek out specific things. With the book, I was interested in exploring the deeper motivating forces in the lives of these people and what causes them to embark on these experiments, beginning lifelong addictions to beautiful objects. I also wanted to have a wide lens, elevating and highlighting people from very different backgrounds who have been able to build these collections around themselves.”

Diaz-Griffith’s book, published by Monacelli, visits 17 collectors from the US and the UK in their own homes, many of which are modestly scaled yet fully layered and rich in invention. The collectors demonstrate varied approaches to displaying the results of their obsessions, whether in New York, Louisiana, or London. Many of them are “insiders” of one kind or another, from the realms of art or design; all have had to navigate their way through the economic and cultural shifts of the past 20 years, explored in the book’s introduction, and have seen the antiques market rise and fall before settling into its current period of resurgence and growth.

“The main criterion was that these are people who love historic art or antiques, but also live with it in an interesting way,” says Diaz-Griffith. “The main challenge was that the younger a collector is, the smaller their home might be, so it was about finding collectors whose interiors had a finished quality that translates into a design book like this. The sense of plurality was also hugely important. I wanted for a Black American to open the book and see someone like them, to talk about the

importance of aesthetics in the lives of young gay men, for example.”

The project evolved from Diaz-Griffith’s own lifelong love of collecting, and his experience curating and organizing antique events, including Manhattan’s The Winter Show for art and antiques. Even as a child, growing up in rural Alabama, he began scouting pieces from flea markets and auctions. His grandmother was an antiques dealer; his parents let him design his own bedroom and themselves became realestate developers, although with a rather more reserved approach to their interiors.

“They were building elaborate historical reproduction houses and new urbanist developments, rather like Poundbury in England,” says Diaz-Griffith. “I was involved in their business at a young age, helping on the design with the local architect, designing metalwork, or working with the carpenters.” It was a more creative upbringing than it might seem from afar, and in such a rural area. Diaz-Griffith became “quite obsessed with early American interiors at one point and had a bedroom that was a fully conceived period room”.

His university education fused his love of literature and the decorative arts. During his first degree at the College of the Atlantic on Mount Desert Island in Maine, he met his future husband, Mexican-born painter Alonso Diaz-Rickards. The couple spent two years in the UK, before settling in New York, where Diaz-Griffith studied at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, and joined The Winter Show, eventually becoming associate executive director. The New Antiquarians first began as an informal group of millennial collectors, co-founded with friend and colleague Benjamin Miller, which developed into a podcast and—eventually—a book.

“Benjamin and I would convene small groups of curators, art and antique dealers, and specialists from the auction houses, and have these salon-style evenings together,” says Diaz-Griffith. “One of my favorite events was a picnic in Central Park where we would all sit on antique blankets and quilts and invite people to bring their favorite object so we could have a handling session.”

The book, largely photographed by Brian W Ferry, uses the early era of World of Interiors under former editor Min Hogg as one point of inspiration. Those featured are friends, or friends of friends, and highlights include artist

IT’S ALMOST LIKE ACCESSORIZING A PERFECTLY WHITE BUTTON-UP SHIRT

Andrew LaMar Hopkins and his multi-layered townhouse in New Orleans. The author first met him at The Winter Show, just as it began incorporating contemporary art in the mid-teens. “It was the opening night and Andrew was dressed in drag as his alter ego, Désirée Josephine Duplantier, which was quite a brave thing to do at the time and wonderful. He has collected a massive amount of material over the years, much of it has served as props for his own paintings.” Argentine-British artist Pablo Bronstein’s period home in Deal, Kent, is full of color, texture, and delight while offering an exemplar of a collector with focus. There’s a particular obsession with English silver sugar casters, but also Delft pottery and 17th-century candle stands. “I knew the sugar casters needed to be in the book,” Diaz-Griffith says, “because Pablo has a wonderful way of talking about them and has this serial collection in the old-fashioned sense. But it’s also about his visual representation of his collection, which is so wonderful.”

Other collectors encompass what Diaz-Griffith characterizes as a post-millennial approach to antiques within the home, where an otherwise calm and contemporary interior becomes a backdrop to a carefully conceived collection of objects. Design editor Camille Okhio and her Manhattan apartment offer one example, along with gallerist Alex Tieghi-Walker and his home in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

“It’s an emerging taste for a very cool, classic approach to collecting antiques that’s all about this minimalist background which allows objects to pop,” says Diaz-Griffith. “It’s almost like accessorizing a perfectly white button-up shirt and certainly a few interiors in the book have that feel, with the mixing of antiques and contemporary pieces in one vision.”

For the future, Diaz-Griffith is already thinking about book two, with more of a focus on established collectors and possibly a wider geographical remit. And, of course, he continues to collect. His own passions include portrait miniatures, watercolor room portraits and reverse painted glass portraits from the 19th century. Plus, American painted furniture, rattan furniture, and wicker work.

“I have set up our New York apartment rather like a conservatory to try and battle the greyness and gloom of a winter in Manhattan,” he says. “We also have Alonso’s work, and some contemporary art, and I do like things that create a dialogue among themselves. But, at this point, if I had six houses then I would just collect different things in each of them.” 0 Dominic Bradbury writes about architecture, interiors, and design. The New Antiquarians: At Home with Young Collectors , by Michael Diaz-Griffith, is published by Monacelli in June

EXTRAORDINARY GLOBAL PROPERTIES

Private islands offer the perfect getaway homes for those looking to unwind

Far from the rush of city living, a secluded private island may be the ultimate location for a getaway home, whether in the Caribbean or the Mediterranean. They offer untouched beaches, secluded coves or lush vegetation. “The pandemic increased the lure of private islands,” says George Damianos, chief executive officer of Bahamas Sotheby’s International Realty in The Bahamas. “It opened up many people’s eyes that they could work from The Bahamas or other locations.”

In North Eleuthera, 11-acre Crown Pigeon Island has 12,000 sq ft of living space with 15 bedrooms across three residences. It also has patios, outdoor kitchens, a swimming pool, and fishing flats. The island offers sandy beaches, a sea turtle sanctuary, a beach club, and a four-acre harbor. “If you are interested in mingling, you can go for dinner on Harbour Island,” Damianos says, which is a short boat ride away and has grocery stores and access to plumbers or electricians.

On a five-acre island not far from Helsinki, Finland, a contemporary three-bedroom home with a guest house and sauna provides a place to relax. Its large terraces offer views of archipelago pines, coastal cliffs and the sea. The interiors enhance the presence of nature, designed with oak, pine and rusted Corten steel. The home features technical solutions for island living: a desalination system, geothermal energy, motorized shades and a jetty for helicopter landings.

In Australia, enjoy scenic views of the Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef, and some whale-watching, from the main house on an island three miles off the Queensland coast. One of seven other homes on the island, a penthouse studio with a yoga platform in a rainforest sits atop a hill.

At Turnagain Island in Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, 93 acres of forest and coastline offer sunrise-to-sunset views of the Pacific. The 3,000 sq ft four-bedroom main house features a living room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Seconds away, two docks with boat houses provide easy access to and from the island.

Off the Caribbean island of Curaçao, in Spanish Water Bay, is a 7.3-acre untouched island. It features a 5,188 sq ft gated community, with a landing with room for docking, and development plans and building permits.

Private island homes tend towards casual rather than fancy and stay in families for generations. Damianos says the rule is “keep it simple. You don’t have to worry about dressing in Gucci shoes. Put on your flip-flops and go in and out.” Marcelle
