The double island in the Schwartz’s kitchen is brilliant. The lush green terrace outside the living room.
PERHAPS THE SINGLE BEST PART OF working at House & Home is the chance to visit some of the most exciting homes anywhere. If you’ve wondered how we land the fabulous places we feature, here’s the short answer: pull! Someone with influence LET’S CONNECT starts the ball rolling. Often, it’s the @houseandhome designer or architect, a PR person or a @lyndareevesdesign photographer. Sometimes, we get a tip from @lyndareeves a friend of a friend... who knows of a place so great that it deserves to be shared. Every week, our editorial team meets to exchange scouting shots that have come in, and we debate which ones to pursue. Diversity is the big buzzword now. We want homes that reflect different cultures, alternate lifestyles and more sustainable solutions for living well. Of course, if a place is just so dropdead fabulous that we have to have it, we just say YES before anyone changes their mind! The next step is a visit by a design editor to see for themselves. One of our star wranglers is my great friend Debra Campbell, who has single-handedly found us many of the best homes we’ve published — starting with her own (Trends 2016 cover house), the colourful home of TV producer Alix Jaffe in L.A. (Oct. 2014), Pamela Meredith’s wonderful house (Jan. 2020) and, in this issue, the art-filled condo belonging to Alison and Alan Schwartz (page 58). I was lucky enough to visit Alison last July for the initial first look. I recall walking in and gasping at the lush green vista on the terrace beyond the wall of windows, of course the incredible art collection and the bold sight lines from every direction. But it was the kitchen that intrigued me most with its two islands: one for working and one for guests to perch at. Alison likes to cook without worrying about a messy prep island, and this is the perfect solution. I also paused in the den where a wall of dark, shallow cabinets concealed big TV screens. Another great source is Janis Nicolay, who 14 H&H MAY 2020

brought us this issue’s house on Bowen Island, B.C. (page 50). Next comes the photo shoot. Our design editors are the best at capturing the right shots to make our pages sing. But it’s impossible to get every angle into 10 pages, so choices must be made. The goal is to capture the essence of the home and its residents, and to show the visual highlights. The goal is not to get the single detail that might have stuck in my head! But that doesn’t stop me from asking, “Where’s the shot of Alison’s two kitchen islands? And where’s the lush terrace and the TV wall in the den?” As it turns out, these views didn’t make the cut. No problem, I have them on my phone so you can see them here. We prefer not to show anonymous homes. We think you want to meet the owners and hear their stories. We know we do. What led the Pages to build in Bali, of all places (page 76) or Craig and Kendra to decamp to Bowen Island, and how do Richard Ouellette and Maxime Vandal have time to manage that huge flower farm in Knowlton, Que. (page 68)? (I still don’t believe they do!) So how do we convince people to appear on our pages? Often, we don’t have to. Most are proud of what they’ve accomplished and want to share. Some want to help the careers of their designers and craftspeople. Plus, good press always helps when it’s time to sell. But more than anything else, it’s a personal connection with a homeowner that’s our best hope. (I, too, have begged on occasion!) I ran into Alan a couple of weeks back and told him how excited I was to see his home in our May issue. He joked about not recalling why he had said yes in the first place. But then again, Debra had asked, and that made all the difference. Enjoy spring!

YOUR LETTERS OUR READERS HAVE THEIR SAY. A smile immediately crossed my face when I opened your March issue and saw Lynda was writing the Editor’s Page. For some of us longtime subscribers (more than 20 years), having Lynda back again is a reassuring reminder that not everything we love has to change. — BARB NUGENT, Georgina, Ont. I was thrilled to see the exquisite kitchen designed by Jack Creasy profiled in your March issue (“Secret Ingredient”). Finally, some colour! The most perfect shade of green with that sumptuous brass hardware — simply divine. In my humble opinion, we would all do well to heed the words of interior decorator Dorothy Draper and “banish the beige.” — A.J. BERNE, Etobicoke, Ont.

I’m reading the latest March issue and, I have to say, it’s one of the best. I always look forward to my monthly dose of inspiration, but this month was incredible. — RUTH, Toronto Welcome back, Lynda, you bring an up-to-date vibe to every issue. I appreciate before and after pictures of renos, floor plans and actual costs. I’d like to see homes and designers from different cities in Canada, not just the big cities. Keep publishing more amazing Canadian issues! — SUSAN SMUCKLER, Burlington, Ont.

I read Lynda Reeves’ explanation of Emma Reddington’s departure as editor-in-chief and noticed a glaring omission. While she identified her feelings about the departure (depressing), she failed to include an acknowledgment of Emma’s efforts for the magazine and a congratulatory salute as she embarks upon her new endeavour. Outward signs of professional courtesy should always remain at the forefront of our words and deeds. — TIOMBE OLUMIJI, Pikesville, Md. Lynda’s note: Thanks for pointing that out, Tiombe. I’m a huge fan of Emma, both personally and professionally, and I thought that was obvious, but perhaps not. Her work as our EIC was much appreciated, and all of us here wish her well in her new career. Your kitchen issues are always so inspiring. The only problem is I always want to change my kitchen! — KARIN KAY, @karinkaykat via Instagram

As spring turns our attention to the outdoors, windows suddenly take the spotlight. Sheer drapery in gauzy fabrics softly filters sunlight while still granting privacy. “A faint pattern on a sheer or voile can be wonderful,” says Toronto designer Colette van den Thillart. Okari’s new collection of decorative sheers for Romo offers stripes, botanicals and simple woven textures in restful earth tones.

CANE DO! Caned rattan is today’s accent of choice, decorating everything from mirrors and wardrobes to bed frames. Now, the motif is taking basic subway tile up a notch. Sunday, Céragrès’ new four- by eight-inch glazed porcelain tiles, can come embellished with a pattern that imitates classic caning, giving walls extra panache. Opt for crisp black or white, or choose from these three dusty desert shades. Sunday porcelain tile in Salvia (on wall), Terra (centre) and Mattone (bottom), from $15/sq.ft. At Céragrès.

ILLUSTRATOR VIRGINIA JOHNSON INTRODUCES WALLPAPER INSPIRED, IN PART, BY HER OWN BACKYARD BLOOMS. THE CABBAGE COLUMNS PRINT came out of a bouquet I received from a dear friend on my birthday. It had kale, cabbage and pale roses, and lots of celery-shaded greens. I painted it because it was so beautiful — and I can never resist ruffled edges.
I’M ALWAYS DREAMING of gardens. When
I travel, I try to stay in hotels with gardens where I can sit for hours. As the wallpaper samples were being printed this past February, I was sitting in a little hotel garden in Santa Monica. Even though it was only 12 degrees, it made me so happy.
EVERY PRINT STARTED as original art. First, I painted with watercolours, then the art was scanned and put into a “repeat,” which is what I’ve done for my textiles for years. TRELLIS WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING,
because I hate drawing in straight lines. I tend to just wing it and, obviously, if the lines have
to meet up for the repeat between rolls, you can’t do that! This print always makes me feel like I’m outside; it’s elegant and calming. MY FAVOURITE PRINT is Geranium because
it’s quirky and happy, and it reminds me of something my grandmother would have put in her kitchen. THERE’S NO QUESTION THAT A ROOM with
wallpaper is livelier than one without. I’d love to see my papers used in rooms that reflect a garden — living rooms that overlook a garden, a bedroom with floral furniture… in other words, surrounded by like-minded friends.

FROM LEFT: Sweet pea ‘Candy Floss’ and ‘Big Blue’, $4/seed packet. Through Antonio Valente Flowers.
GOOD SEEDS It’s tempting to buy annuals for instant colour, but starting seeds now will result in cut flowers for beautiful bouquets all summer long. In his market garden north of Toronto, organic flower grower Antonio Valente specializes in seeds not typically found at florists or big-box garden centres. Many are heirloom or pollinatorfriendly varieties that help sustain bees and butterflies, with bestselling seeds including blush-toned zinnia and candy-coloured sweet pea. “The seeds can be started indoors four weeks before the last frost or sown directly into the garden once the soil has warmed up,” says Antonio. “Remember to pinch the seedlings once they reach eight inches (leaving two to three leaf pairs) to encourage vigorous growth.” 36 H&H MAY 2020

“The most popular vegetable in my garden is the cucamelon,” says Niki. “The adorable, grape-sized fruits have a refreshing cucumber crunch and hints of lime.” Eat them straight from the garden, chopped in salads or dipped in hummus.
This year, look beyond your usual herbs and vegetables to create an edible garden of exotic delights. “Growing less common varieties has opened me up to a world of flavours,” says award-winning Halifax garden writer Niki Jabbour of savvygardening.com, who likes to grow cucamelons, ground cherries, cucuzza squash and edible gourds. She notes that global cuisine has boosted the rise of rare vegetables and seed diversity, and she typically sources from Annapolis Seeds, Halifax Seed Company and Johnny’s Selected Seeds.

“It’s much harder working on my own garden,” says landscape designer Meredyth Hilton of Toronto firm Artistic Gardens. Especially so when your vision is a colourful perennial garden designed to attract birds and bees. “Perennial gardens are high-maintenance, but they have big rewards,” she says. For city gardens, paying attention to scale and choosing slow-growing, dwarf varieties is key, as is adding shaded areas for hot summer days. Meredyth’s backyard oasis — which she shares with her husband, Brad, sons Cade and Dylan, and dog Princess — faces north, but it’s in full sun all day. Peonies, roses, hornbeam trees and boxwoods are just a few of the plants she chose. Here are her expert tips for doing it yourself.
e MIX HIGH- AND LOW-MAINTENANCE PLANTS Fussier plants such as peonies and delphiniums are balanced by easygoing varieties including cranesbill, obedient plant and giant lamb’s ears. Meredyth prefers an iris’s grass-like foliage and flowers to ornamental grasses. “I love tall Siberian irises and the shorter, early flowering dwarf bearded iris,” she says. 40 H&H MAY 2020

GILLIAN GREEN: This house is grand and muscular in proportion, but the kitchen had been stripped of its historical details long ago.

GG: You have to ask yourself: What will make your heart sing in the space? Then hold on to that idea as you go through the design and construction process. An architect can help you find that song and keep you in tune for all the decisions that need to be made. H&H: Are you pleased with the kitchen design now that the project’s wrapped? GG: I’ve kindly been invited to the house several times since completion, and I’m delighted to witness the space being fully used as we envisioned. A kitchen island chat, an intimate dinner, a house party with friends dancing in the backyard — this kitchen allows for it all.

Craig Pearce and Kendra Patton were once enamoured with the city. They loved living in a loft in downtown Vancouver where they both worked — Craig, the owner of custom furniture company Union Wood Co., and Kendra, an interior designer for Fluevog Shoes. Sure, they would decamp on weekends to Galiano Island, Tofino, B.C., or the Sunshine Coast, but they’d always happily return to city life. As time went on, though, they started to dream about building a vacation cabin close by. That dream led them to Bowen Island, only 20 minutes away from Vancouver by ferry. They instantly fell in love with the place. “There are more beaches than we can count, trails all over the island, and the view of the waterways and mountains is amazing,” says Kendra. Also attractive: the island’s grocery stores, friendly pubs and an elementary school for when their daughters, Jude, 3, and 11-month-old Maeve are old enough to attend. (The family’s Boston terrier, Otis, remains illiterate.) In short order, the vacation home idea was scrapped and Craig and Kendra decided to put down permanent roots instead. They purchased land on Bowen in 2016, on the island’s oldest road, up a rugged trail and at the edge of a dense forest of fir trees. They couldn’t imagine anything more breathtaking.

Fireplace, Kozy Heat Fireplaces; sofa, Van Gogh Designs. BELOW: The black-stained cedar siding is punctuated by windows framed in weathering steel. The driveway was left rocky for a natural look. “We have the most amazing view of the water and mountains looking east toward Cypress Mountain, Horseshoe Bay and the Sea-to-Sky Highway,” says Kendra.
“We have a tree that’s more than 600 years old. It would take three people to put their arms around it,” says Craig. Designed by architect Peter Atkinson of Human Studio and built by Kennedy Construction, The Trail House, their twobedroom, two-bathroom abode, has a gable style that suits the unspoiled terrain. Windows framed in weathering steel blend in with the colour of the rocks on the property, but the reverse board-and-batten exterior offers dramatic contrast. “We clad the house in black-stained cedar to mimic a shou sugi ban burnt-wood look,” says Kendra, describing the textural Japanese treatment. Completing the nearly year-long build was tough, says Craig, and it wasn’t without challenges. Shipping the ceiling’s massive heritage beams over on the ferry was a pain, and hauling them up the steep hill to the property, nearly impossible. “There were two weeks where we couldn’t build because of the snow and ice,” says Craig. “The contractors and delivery trucks couldn’t get up the hill.” Even accessing water required coordination because it had to be pumped up to the house from a shed. Once the build was finished, Craig took over and the hard work continued inside; he did most of the interior finishing himself and managed the trades.

Then Kendra’s work started in earnest; set against white walls, her distinct decorating choices — quirky antiques juxtaposed with more streamlined pieces, all underlined with moments of pattern — meld to exude an unbuttoned elegance, creating a modern family home that has a ton of soul and more than a little character. These light-bathed rooms and expansive vistas are worlds away from downtown Vancouver, where Craig and Kendra continue to commute to for work. But in the contest between city versus island, they now know where their hearts truly lie. “On the ferry from Vancouver, you can often see the sun reflecting off our galvanized roof in the hills on Bowen,” says Kendra. “It’s a beacon leading the way home.” 54 H&H MAY 2020

TOOK SIX YEARS TO MOVE IN. Six years of anticipation and imagination. That’s how much studying, reading and research went into the layout and planning of Alan and Alison Schwartz’s two-storey, 4,200-squarefoot condo overlooking the rooftops of Toronto’s Annex neighbourhood. With a private collection of more than 100 international pieces by contemporary artists, Alan, an executive, and his partner, Alison, found themselves empty-nesters in 2011 with time to finally plan the home they had always wanted, but never quite achieved in any of their past residences. When a new seven-storey condo development designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects came on the market nearly a decade ago, the Schwartzes bought two units on the fifth and sixth floors during preconstruction. Enter Daniel Harland, the couple’s longtime interior design partner, and his team at Roundabout Studio.

Alan called Daniel and asked, “Are you sitting down?” The owners and designer soon visited the condo’s sales centre and, during construction, had many walk-throughs. “We started with an empty canvas,” says Alan. “Because we combined two units, it was raw space and we had the advantage of there being no floor plan.” Imagine the Schwartz’s glee at being totally free to design how they wanted to live in the space. In Alison’s words: “You walk in and there’s a reveal that says, ‘We’re people who love art and take art seriously, and there’s going to be a lot of it!’ ” By this point, Daniel knew the Schwartzes wouldn’t be interested in an entry with wall hooks for coats, an umbrella stand and a demilune table topped with flowers. “No, the art 62 H&H MAY 2020
starts at the front door,” says Alison. Every design decision beyond the entry would support the art throughout the condo. “Some pieces have been with the Schwartzes for decades and are very dear to them, while others are rotated in and out,” says Daniel. “For us, how they approached their collection was one of the defining characteristics of this project.” With that in mind, the design team was sure to keep sight lines open. “We wanted to curate views that would work for multiple pieces,” says Daniel. That meant creating spaces that led into one another. The lone exception: at Alison’s request, Daniel closed off the kitchen with a half wall. This provided additional wall space for art (like the Oscar Murillo checkered canvas) while keeping eyes away from food prep. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

“The Schwartzes are one of the few clients I have whose home looks like this every time you go there,” says Daniel. In the principal bedroom, every item has its place.

Furniture was chosen and grouped to ensure that there were no visual distractions competing with views of the paintings and sculptures, but also that nothing physically got in the way of the art, either. Furniture heights and colour choices were taken into consideration: the palette is neutral, a mix of greys, whites and blacks. “Keeping things simple is part of setting the stage for the art,” says Daniel. Other small details like the placement of electrical outlets, switches and thermostats were crucial given the number of large-scale pieces in the collection. Daniel either dropped the outlets to a few inches above the floor or installed them on supporting columns at the periphery of the main living spaces. Elements such as textured French oak floors and castconcrete surfaces bring warmth and speak to domesticity. “We do modern,” says Daniel, “but it’s livable, not stark SEE SOURCE GUIDE

It’s on the key-drop cabinet in the entry, the large black frame around the fireplace, the island facing near the dining area and the handrail leading upstairs. When the project was done, Daniel took a step back and let the emotive quality of the whole place sink in. “It really suits the Schwartzes,” he says, and Alison agrees: “We both love our home. It has the calm elegance we like to be surrounded by.” From sight lines to space planning, the eye is consistently led back to where it should be — the art. “There’s a curatorial story here. It isn’t just what fits where; it’s a dialogue in the same way a gallery would do a show.” H&H MAY 2020 65

On the second floor, almost every piece of art is by a woman. “We realized when we moved in that we have 40 pieces by women,” says Alan. “We decided to hang them together.” Knowing that the upper landing would have some of the biggest display walls for art, Daniel gave the space as much breathing room as he could without taking away from the rooms on either side. 66 H&H MAY 2020

The Collection After buying Canadian contemporary art for years, Alison and Alan Schwartz began building an international collection. Over the past few decades, they’ve acquired pieces from all over the world. “We donated the bulk of our Canadian-only art in the 1990s,” says Alan. “We hoped to make choices that would have a more universal and lasting impact, and that pursuit thrust us into the world of the so-called ‘big league’ of collectors. But getting to the big leagues was never our ambition or focus.” Here’s a list of art from the condo that is shown in the pages of this feature.

IN PLOTTING THEIR OWN COUNTRY GARDEN, TWO TOP DESIGNERS CREATE A PARADISE WITH A PURPOSE. Garden design by RICHARD OUELLETTE and MAXIME VANDAL Text by KATIE HAYDEN | Photography by ANDRÉ RIDER

RICHARD OUELLETTE AND MAXIME VANDAL, the duo behind Montreal design firm Les Ensembliers, have always loved a beautiful garden. But here at Humming Hill, their latest weekend home near Knowlton, Que., they’ve created something that’s a lot more than just an aesthetic masterpiece. Their 32-hectare property is also a working farm, with a serious vegetable plot, honeybees, chickens and a sugar bush that will produce gallons of maple syrup this spring. Since buying the property in 2016, Richard and Maxime have been digging, building and planting, not to mention painstakingly hand-dividing hundreds of dahlia tubers and installing a growing chamber for starting seeds in the basement — all in preparation for opening a flower farm sometime in the near future. All summer long, the flower gardens burst with colour, with vegetables and more precious blooms corralled into a tidy parterre crisscrossed with pea gravel pathways that recalls the best ornamental gardens in France and England. “It’s inspired by a Victorian maze and is designed to be seen best from above,” says Richard. As they’ve created their outdoor spaces, the pair have become students of permaculture — a sustainable approach to working the land — seeking advice from specialists in the area, most notably, expert Caroline Gosselin. For the designers (and soon-to-be flower farmers), gardening has become a way of life. “Humming Hill is about creating a place with purpose, where we can grow flowers and vegetables, enjoy a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, entertain and share good times,” says Richard. Here, Richard and Maxime share their best tips for how to create a vibrant, hardworking garden.
SEE SOURCE GUIDE
Start with Structure The pea gravel pathways of this classic parterre enhance the symmetrical style, help the area drain well and provide less muddy access to beds. Raised beds for vegetables are nearer the centre, while the ground-level beds at the periphery hold small fruits, flowers and decorative elements that help camouflage the fence. The fountain at the centre, nestled among lavender and roses, is a gathering place for butterflies, dragonflies and hummingbirds (for which the farm is named). The pair outsourced the construction of the raised beds and pergola, but do the planting, garden maintenance and much of the harvesting themselves with help from Maxime’s brother, Bernard. H&H MAY 2020 69
The coach house sits beside gates that access the parterre.
Balance Beauty with Function Although this is mostly a working garden, Richard and Maxime care about the visual, and they plan the colour and scale of the flowers and vegetables carefully. Raised beds are an earth-friendly, lowimpact way to make gardens work better: they offer good drainage, discourage weed and slug migration, help soil maintain its nutrients and keep it from getting compacted.
Think About Sustainability Look for ways to make your property do more — or do more for the common good. Richard and Maxime keep Chantecler chickens, a locally developed cold-resistant breed. They also keep bees, essential for pollinating the flowers and, in February, they started tapping their maple trees and expect to make 40 to 60 gallons of syrup by the season’s end. They’ve also started a collective of local farmers, mostly weekenders, to share information and resources. “We merge our efforts to be more productive and specialize in what we do best — we’re creating synergy,” says Maxime.

“HUMMING HILL IS ABOUT CREATING A PLACE WITH PURPOSE” — Richard Ouellette
Conserve Water Richard and Maxime invested in an irrigation system. “If you really want success for this type of garden, you have to have a built-in system,” says Richard. Their dropby-drop system lets them select timing and quantity by zones. Mulch, which covers most beds here, is an easy and sustainable way to keep the soil cooler, damper and fight weeds. The pair makes their own mulch from trees they take down in their forest to make way for trails.
Create Places to Sit and Relax Add places to sit that feel like a mini retreat, like this pergola Richard and Maxime had built from Eastern red cedar beams and outfitted with Muskoka chairs. This summer, inspired by natural pergolas they saw in Corsica, Richard plans to weave branches through the beams to amp up protection from sun and light rain. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Keep It Casual in the Pool House The pool house got a fresh coat of paint, and then Richard “threw in odds-andends furniture to make it cosy and fun,” he says. If you have the space, a shower is a fun addition to an outdoor area. Here, it’s tucked in a nook in the pool house wall and, to make it as private as possible, it’s oriented to face empty fields. The property’s mature trees, from oaks, pines and maples to lilacs and cherries, were a main selling point for the property. TOP RIGHT: The pool house is used as a changeroom for swimming and tennis, as well as guest quarters in warm weather. Richard and Maxime designed the ikat fabric, Les Nomades, on the ottoman for Brunschwig & Fils, and Richard painted the verdant artwork hung behind the sofa. BOTTOM RIGHT: The pool house also includes a small bar (background), so it’s easy to fix drinks during an afternoon of swimming. The quilt is from an antique show in Knowlton, and the photograph is by Ned Pratt.

Connect the Pool to the Landscape Omit edging around a swimming pool — or choose terracing with a natural look — to help it blend in to the garden more seamlessly. “We took away all the hard surfaces, so it looks less manicured,” says Richard. “We’re thinking of making it dark next year to blend in even better.” Chaises longues, Ikea; cushion fabric, Kravet Canada.

Include Hardworking Areas This table (left) on the side of the coach house shelters firewood, is a repotting station, a place for sorting and packing fruits and veggies, and adds a work surface for food prep (including pizzas from the outdoor oven, far right). “When you serve a meal, and people know it’s been produced on the grounds, it puts everything in perspective,” says Maxime.
Switch out Potted Plants A tall metal potting bench (below) lets Richard shift planters in and out of service. He brings half the garden’s potted plants inside each winter to reuse the next year, an eco- and budget-friendly move.
Introduce a Water Feature
Even the gentlest trickle of water enhances a garden by layering in sound and movement (left). “We added this Corten steel waterfall when we built our koi pond,” says Richard. “It’s a quiet, meditative spot, and the wooden Buddha has been in all our gardens over the years.” Built of concrete, the koi pond basin is designed to be a raised “water bed” on par with the earth-filled beds surrounding it. “At night, we get the light effect of the water dancing on the ceiling of the coach house,” says Maxime. 74 H&H MAY 2020

IN BLOOMS These are the main flowers Richard and Maxime are cultivating for their future flower farm business.
Design a Vantage Point The coach house’s upstairs balcony has become a favourite spot to look out at the property. “It gets the morning sun, and then it’s the perfect little shady hideaway during the afternoon heat because the sun is on the other side,” says Richard (left, with Maxime and mini pinscher, Zack).
COSMOS: The prolific annuals are beautiful, easy to grow and great for bees and butterflies.
DAHLIAS: These tuberous herbs take years to divide and need to be dug out to overwinter inside, but they produce spectacular flowers.
Vary Lawns by Installing Stonework Wide stone steps were installed across this expanse of lawn to echo the proportions of the planting beds nearby. The stones connect architecturally with the width of the coach house door, and they create a path to the fields.

IF A LUXE AIRBNB OPENED IN EDEN, it might look like Karen and Simon Page’s villa in Canggu, Bali. Just browsing photos of their 4,800-square-foot, light-drenched home — designed as a place to unwind amid frangipani-sweetened breezes — has a restorative effect. The freshness, says Karen, comes by the grace of the windows. “A lot of villas in Bali have all dark woods,” she says. Karen and Spanish architect Felipe González Jiménez de la Espada (who was recommended by friends and was already working on the island) wanted, instead, to reflect the lightness of Bali. “The windows modernize the space,” says Karen. “Light, sunshine and breeze can flow freely from all directions.” The Pages were living in Singapore when they decided to build their four-ensuitebedroom holiday home in Canggu. Simon was born in Zambia and moved to Canada when he was 13; he and Karen met through mutual friends in Vancouver. After a year of dating, Simon landed a job in Hong Kong and the new couple moved there, had two daughters, Chloe, now 12, and Madeleine, now 9, then moved again, this time to Singapore. Bali, now just a two-and-a-half-hour flight away, turned into their tropical backyard — the family’s vacation playground, where Simon surfed and Karen enjoyed the country’s artistic culture.

As dreamy as having a home in Bali seems, Karen insists this isn’t a fantasy-fulfillment story. “This was not a life plan for us,” she says. “When Simon said, ‘Let’s build a villa!’ I thought, Oh my God, no. That’s way too much of an undertaking. And it was — it was a big deal.” Still, she concedes there was a dream-come-true element for Simon, who’s now the CFO of an L.A. start-up. “He’s always talked about owning and designing boutique hotels, but we just didn’t have time to go down that road.” Building their holiday home, which they named The Starling Villa and rent out when they’re not there, quenched that desire. For Karen, it was most important that the place feel inviting. “I wanted things modern but not cold,” she says. “I wanted my kids to walk in the door and relax; I wanted everybody to think of this house as a sanctuary.” She also wanted the villa, which took about 18 months to complete, to feel personal. “We worked hard to make it feel like our home. Striking that balance while making it work like a hotel was tricky.” To help get the mix right, Karen brought in Madrid-based interior designer Virginia Perez-Orive, who she met through Felipe. Virginia’s design credo aligned tidily with Karen’s. “I do livable houses, not minimalistic white homes with no toys or dogs,” says Virginia. “I design homey homes.” 82 H&H MAY 2020
Rejecting the typical order of things, Virginia takes art into consideration from the start, instead of leaving it until the end. “Once the art is on the wall, it’s so much easier to make a space work,” she says. “It should be the furniture subordinating to the art, not the other way around.” Four watercolours by American artist Christopher Stern were chosen for the living room. “They set the tone,” says Virginia. Their vibrant shades took Karen away from her neutral-coloured comfort zone. “Simon’s into colour,” she says. “I’m more of a chromophobe.” The villa also plays with thoughtful contrasts. Cool, washed-concrete walls in the kitchen, for example, are offset by tactile Balinese baskets turned light fixtures, each as big as a church bell. Light stone floors on the ground level are balanced by black wood flooring in the upstairs bedrooms. “I think of black as the eyeliner,” says Virginia. “With spring-like colours, you need that tougher touch.” In addition, the designer advocated for the handwoven rugs that decorate the home. “They’re very earthy. They give the place warmth and a handmade feel.” These design touches give the peripatetic family a sense of home when they’re in Bali. “We all have Canadian passports, but we’re not sure where home is,” says Karen from their latest abode in Venice Beach, Calif., where the family has just relocated. Their Bali home offers a familiar place where they can comfortably relax — never mind that it’s postcard-perfect, with rice paddies on either side, a surfeit of clear blue sky and gardens lush with palms. “Talking about it is making me want to go!” says Karen. She’s not alone. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

HIS SPRING’S 2020 Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Home Lottery Showhome in King City, north of Toronto, is definitely in the major leagues: it’s a sprawling 9,390 square feet and boasts five bedrooms. Her first time designing a Princess Margaret Showhome, Sarah Baeumler certainly hit it out of the park, but she had an inside advantage. “This house will be filled by a family one day, so I thought about the things that would make life a little bit easier,” says Sarah. As a mother of four, she knew exactly how to make a luxury residence work for family living. Sarah is best known for chronicling the renovation of the Bahamian boutique hotel Caerula Mar Club with her husband, Bryan Baeumler, on HGTV Canada’s Island of Bryan, and she clearly owes a lot of this home’s design DNA to beachy influences. A neutral palette and natural materials such as linen, grasscloth and woven accents are timeless elements that will easily serve as a backdrop for the future winner’s own style. But she wasn’t shy with colour or pattern, either: in the basement lounge area (which she playfully refers to as a “speakeasy”), she deftly paired peacock blue and bold jungle wallpaper to create a moody, club-like vibe.

Sarah notes that many of her smaller design considerations will have a big impact when it comes to function. “I was lucky to be brought in at an early stage so I could weigh in on the architectural plans,” she says. It was her idea, for example, to move the laundry room from the main-floor mudroom to the second floor (“Who wants to fold clean laundry when the kids are barrelling in with their hockey bags?”), and she added a sink and wall oven to the pantry behind the kitchen — both will be handy when cooking a holiday turkey. 90 H&H MAY 2020
Alongside these practical perks, the designer also delivers showstopping moments. Take, for instance, the principal ensuite’s wet room, with its elegant tub and dual showers — it’s luxe and it stays warm for bath time. “There’s nothing worse than stepping out of a tub into a freezing room,” says Sarah, who admits the ensuite is her favourite space. She even included an armchair and side table where she imagines the home’s winner pouring a glass of wine, taking a sip… and agreeing with her wholeheartedly. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Head chef Luca Lussoso of Eataly’s Trattoria Milano shares his recipe for Insalata Invernale. Q: I had the green salad at Eataly’s new Milanese restaurant in Toronto, and it’s incredible! Tart, not sour, complex and totally refreshing — I’m dreaming about it! Can you please get me the recipe? — SUSAN McARTHUR, Toronto
Send your questions to askachef@ hhmedia.com
A: The secret to this bright-tasting, colourful salad is the combination of three types of radicchio and a zingy dressing made with authentic Italian Barolo wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil and anchovies. When assembled, the überflavourful dressing complements the bitter radicchio for a balanced — and delicious — dish.

ALISON ROMAN’S SECOND COOKBOOK, NOTHING FANCY,, IS PACKED WITH UNFUSSY, CROWD-PLEASING RECIPES. Text by ALICE LAWLOR | Photography by MICHAEL GRAYDON and NIKOLE HERRIOTT “IT’S NOT ENTERTAINING; IT’S HAVING PEOPLE OVER.” With that simple statement, Alison Roman inspired a new generation of casual weeknight hosts. The Los Angeles– born, Brooklyn-based writer has a biweekly column in The New York Times and one bestselling cookbook, Dining In, already under her belt. She started out as a cook in San Francisco and New York (at Milk Bar, among other spots), and it shows. Her recipes are dotted with clever tips for adding flavour with whatever’s on hand. Alison is no 96 H&H MAY 2020
stranger to fat, sugar and salt, and many of her recipes come with a make-ahead option. It’s all part of her anyone-cando-it approach, and the belief that nobody wants you to pretend your home is a restaurant. “I don’t have any clever hosting tips, and I will not teach you the secrets to mood lighting,” she writes in the book’s introduction. “But I will give you low-stress and high-impact recipes and ideas designed to make your life easier when cooking for others.” Here are three of her recipes to liven up your spring suppers.

AS SHOWN ON PAGES 96 TO 97
Citrus Chicken Rested in Herbs SERVES 4 TO 6
PLAN AHEAD: The chicken can be cooked a few hours ahead, loosely covered with foil and kept at room temperature. Serve either at room temperature or throw it back into a 450°F oven (or on the grill) for a quick reheat. ½
cup fresh lime or lemon juice (from 4–6 lemons or limes), plus 1 lime or lemon, thinly sliced ½ cup fresh orange juice, plus 1 orange, thinly sliced, seeds removed ½ cup soy sauce 2 tbsp canola oil, plus more 2 tbsp yuzu kosho or sambal, or 1 jalapeño, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely grated Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3½–4 lb. chicken, halved lengthwise through the backbone, or bone-in, skin-on parts ½ cup fresh cilantro, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped ½ cup fresh parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped A few sprigs fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano or marjoram (optional) MAKE MARINADE 1. Combine lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, oil, yuzu kosho and garlic in medium bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Set about half aside for later, and add rest of marinade to large bowl, resealable bag or baking dish. Add chicken, tossing to coat well. Let sit in marinade for a while (at least 30 minutes, but up to 24 hours, in the refrigerator). ROAST CHICKEN 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. (Alternatively, heat a grill to medium heat, with cooler coals or low flames on one side. You can grill chicken over hotter flames, but it can be challenging to manage; for beginners, it’s good to err on the side of the coals being slightly cooler than slightly hotter.) 2. Remove chicken from marinade 98 H&H MAY 2020
(discarding marinade chicken was sitting in) and place skin-side up on rimmed baking sheet. Roast until skin is deeply browned and lightly charred, and chicken is cooked through, 35 to 45 minutes; no need to flip or turn. (Alternatively, place the chicken skin-side down on the grill and cover; make sure the vents are open. Let it grill, resisting the urge to turn or check too frequently, until it’s nicely golden brown with those cute little grill marks, 10 to 12 minutes; just like when you’re searing chicken in a skillet, the skin will release effortlessly once it’s cooked and golden. Attempting to move it beforehand will probably tear the skin and maybe ruin your day! Using your finest and largest tongs, carefully flip the chicken and cover so that it continues to grill, and cook on the other side, another 10 to 12 minutes. Flip once more, skin-side down, and add a few halves of cut citrus. Continue to grill another 5 to 8 minutes to recrisp the skin and finish cooking through.) SERVE CHICKEN 1. Place remaining citrus slices on platter or cutting board and scatter with herbs. Place cooked chicken on top, skin-side up, and pour reserved marinade over top. Let chicken rest for 10 to 20 minutes, allowing its juices to mingle with fresh citrus and herbs. Carve chicken into pieces before serving.
2 ½ 2 2
tbsp finely chopped fresh chives cup fresh parsley, tender leaves and stems tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus more, to taste balls burrata cheese, drained (you can also use mozzarella; just expect a different visual)
PREPARE OLIVES AND PEAS 1. Combine olives and olive oil in small bowl; set aside. 2. Place half of peas in medium bowl. Using your hands (or, if you’re more refined or own one, a potato masher), crush peas. You’re looking for crushed, not a purée, so don’t bother using a food processor. Add remaining peas and lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper. PREPARE GREENS AND ASSEMBLE 1. Toss greens, mint, chives, parsley and lemon juice together in another medium bowl, and season with salt and pepper and a bit more lemon juice, if you like. 2. Tear burrata into pieces and arrange on large serving platter or in shallow bowl (you can also cut the burrata, but tearing it is much easier). Scatter crushed peas on and around burrata and top with olive mixture, followed by the spicy greens and herbs.

MAKES 1 CAKE
PLAN AHEAD: Cake can be baked up to 5 days ahead, wrapped tightly and stored at room temperature. NOTE: For some reason, finding a standard-size loaf pan is nearly impossible, so get as close to these dimensions as you can. While you could use either a metal or glass pan, I prefer metal because it conducts heat more evenly. I refer to this cake as “house cake,” which is, of course, cake to keep in your house at all times. I am not what I would call an earnest person, but in all earnestness, just slicing into it makes a bad day CONTINUED ON PAGE 100

2 ½ ½
cups all-purpose flour tsp baking powder tsp kosher salt tsp ground turmeric cup plus 2 tbsp sugar tbsp finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon) cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt, plus more for serving (optional) large eggs cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed Whipped cream (optional)
MAKE BATTER 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9" x 4" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter and line with parchment, leaving some overhang on both longer sides so you’re able to easily lift cake out after baking. 2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and turmeric in medium bowl. 3. In large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar with lemon zest and rub together with your fingertips until sugar is tinted yellow and smells like you just rubbed a lemon in there. Whisk in sour cream, eggs and lemon juice until well blended. 4. Using spatula, add wet mixture to flour mixture, stirring just to blend. Fold in melted butter. Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top. Scatter top with lemon slices and remaining 2 tbsp of sugar. BAKE CAKE 1. Bake until top of cake is golden brown, edges pull away from sides of pan and tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. (I love deeply caramelized lemon, but if they’re getting too dark, lay foil on top to prevent burning.) Let cool before slicing.

Q
I just bought a beautiful condo in Old Montreal. I’d like to have a dining area next to the window, a round table with four chairs and drapery panels instead of the blind. The previous owner had a television over the mantel, but I’d prefer a mirror for more modern Parisian style. Any suggestions? — CLAUDIA, Montreal
A
You definitely have a great space to work with! To brighten up the room, start by painting your walls a soft, creamy white like Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White. Look for a tulip-shaped dining table with a black base. For a bistro feel, surround it with four Hoffmann side chairs similar to the ones in the Inspiration room designed by Joel Bray. Your existing rug is very nice; try placing it parallel to the mantel. 110 H&H MAY 2020
Consider installing a pendant fixture above the dining table to cast a warm glow. The Nolan pendant in vintage brass and dark bronze would add a contemporary touch. And hanging a mirror in lieu of the television is a great idea. For a Parisian vibe, I suggest an oversized version with a polished brass frame. Have it hung so it rests on the mantel and looks like it’s leaning. French pinch-pleat panels in a gorgeous yellow silk would be an elegant upgrade from your current blind. Choose a black drapery rod with simple finials for a classic look. As a final touch, set a clear vase on the table and fill it with seasonal branches. Enjoy your new dining area! 1.

Spring might have just arrived, but we’re already dreaming of hazy summer days. Take inspiration from Oscar de la Renta’s exotic ensemble, seemingly designed for catching a breeze. Or if living beachside is one of your fantasies, give your home warm-weather vibes with raffia and woven pieces in natural hues. For modern appeal, try a rattan side table or Laura Kirar’s feathery rattan Filamento chandelier in black. The iconic Rio rocking chair by Oscar Niemeyer brings curves and comfort with its caning detail. For a refined look that combines Scandi and French influences, consider the Air cabinet by Mathieu Gustafsson. Or try Alyson Fox’s wallpaper for a fresh take on wovens. Finally, for fashionable style, Prada’s espadrille platform sneakers are just right for meandering cobblestone streets. That long, hot summer we’re craving is just around the corner.
