Storytelling is at the heart of every memorable interior and certainly sits at the heart of AD. Our editorial team works tirelessly for months (even years!) in advance to secure spectacular spaces for our annual AD100 issue. The goal? To ensure that we deliver all the dazzle readers rightfully expect from the world’s most exciting design talents. 4 Every project featured this month is the creation of a person or firm 5 honored this year, and each weaves its own tale. Some are the brainchild of names long familiar to “the list,” such as the power triumvirate of architect Annabelle Selldorf, landscape designer Madison Cox, and interior designer Jeffrey Bilhuber, jointly responsible for a singular residence in the desert in Marfa, Texas, for a particularly discerning couple. Others are by more recent additions and returnees, like Paris-based American architect Elliott Barnes and the deeply experienced interior designers Jane Hallworth, Darryl Carter, and Rayman Boozer. In every home, each of the key players talks about the importance of building a kind of plotline for the transportive spaces they dream up— interiors usually meant for others but in the case of London- and New York–based Martin Brudnizki, for himself and his life/business partner, Jonathan Brook. “This is a fantasy of English arcadian life by a Swede who didn’t grow up in houses like this,” says the designer of the historically minded yet utterly madcap Sussex retreat. “It’s an extreme point of view, but it’s not for a client; it’s for me and Jonathan. This is our own story.” In New York City, ASH NYC conjured a dramatic and colorful, lush and layered vibe for the kind of industrial Tribeca loft that often gets the all-white, minimalist treatment. “I like to look at things through a theatrical lens,” says Will Cooper, partner and chief creative officer of the firm. “What narrative unfolds when you open the door? We paint a picture for you; we make a movie for you to live in.” That’s show business with the AD100 stars! Curtain up on the January issue.

Joe Colombo’s spacey 1965 Elda chair is still a power seat

fter Italian designer Joe Colombo visited a shipyard in 1963 that made fiberglass hulls for boats, inspiration struck: Why not use that same hand-molding technique for the base of a chair? The results—a roomy, futuristic armchair in which seven detachable cushions hook into a molded plastic shell on a rotating base—would become an icon. He named it after his wife, Elda. Colombo moved a white fiberglass and black leather model— produced by Italian brand Comfort in 1965—into his own Milan

Like a Boss

Second Home, Sight Unseen? It’s not as daunting as it sounds—with the right team in place, of course.

Second home purchases have heated up in the last 18 months, and post-pandemic buyers are dreaming bigger and getting more creative in their searches, forgoing the traditional drive-to weekend house for homes that can serve as primary residences in destinations a bit farther afield. Christy Budnick, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, says more and more clients are buying homes sight unseen, particularly (though not exclusively) overseas. It’s not as daunting a prospect as it sounds. The internet, of course, makes it easier than ever to get a feel for a home from behind your laptop, with hyper-detailed listings that include professional-grade interior photos, drone photos and even 360º videos; complete histories; and local market trends for comparison points.

But the key is to have the right real-life partners on your team, including a financial planner who can be sure the investment makes sense for you, and a trusted real estate professional who’s knowledgeable about the market, trends, and properties in your desired destination. The right agent will be able to curate a portfolio of options and help determine the best time for you to buy—which, these days, may have less to do with price than with avoiding the competition. “In today’s extremely competitive market, price-based timing may be less important than finding the right property and winning the bid,” says Budnick. “Your agent can help you determine slower, less competitive times in the markets you’re considering.”

So You Want to Buy a Second Home? Visit bhhs.com

Which begs the question: how do you know if an agent is a match for you? Budnick says the best partners are typically found through a trusted relationship you already have, and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network members are particularly adept at pairing clients in their own markets with the perfect Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network members in others. First-time buyers who don’t already have a “forever agent” will want to conduct interviews. There are a few key things to look for, says Budnick, including market knowledge, responsiveness, relevant experience, and happy clients. “Ask for a list of their last four or five closed transactions and contact the clients to determine their satisfaction,” she says. Online reviews can’t always be counted on. Look, too, for an agent who provides satisfactory answers in a timely manner. “Do they provide in-depth answers or shallow responses?” says Budnick. “Does their energy and enthusiasm feel in step with your needs? Trust your gut.”

residential concept for retail space may not seem like a new idea today as mega-brands settle into domiciles worldwide. But when AD100 inductee Rayman Boozer first opened his beloved Manhattan boutique, Apartment 48, in 1994, his approach was groundbreaking. Tucked on the garden level of a town house at 48 West 17th Street, the shop unfolded in a warren of rooms, with every corner (kitchen, bath, bed) outfitted as if inhabited. For Boozer, who had studied interior design at Indiana University before moving to New York to work for the likes of Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s, Apartment 48 was more than a chance to push products. It was a chance to push his point of view. “I was trying to find a way to express all my ideas at once,” he reflects. “My biggest desire was to be understood.” Among those who immediately got the concept, as well as the man, was Maureen Sullivan, then just a 20-something living with roommates. “Apartment 48 was so ahead of its time,” says Sullivan, a consumer-tech executive. “There was nothing precious or intimidating; it just felt warm and inviting and full of inspiration.” Her regular visits to the store gave way to a lasting friendship after she tapped Boozer to decorate her and her husband’s one-bedroom. Over the years, their lives have evolved in step—Sullivan having three children, Boozer pivoting to interior design full-time and closing up shop. Along the way, he has done five homes for her and her family. The latest was a pandemic project, brought on by the sudden sale of the Long Island retreat that Boozer had

previously designed. “We got an offer we couldn’t refuse,” Sullivan explains. “Suddenly we were in the bizarre position of wanting a new home very, very quickly.” Friends directed her to a Shingle Style house on the market in Southampton. “What were the chances it would be perfect?” she recalls of the five-bedroom home, whose traditional layout and decorative details sealed the deal. “My next call was to Rayman.” Color, a shared passion, has always been the starting point for their collaborations. “People who don’t get color don’t get me,” notes Boozer, famous for his use of bold hues. Though Sullivan self-identifies as a “blue-and-white person,” Boozer made it his mission to incorporate green into the palette. (“She likes things to match; I like things to clash.”) Sylvan tones now creep into the mix like vines, appearing in pillows, artworks, and wallpapers. “Rayman always pushes me just outside my comfort zone,” says Sullivan. “He knows how to make it that much more playful and more interesting.” From the exuberant pink medley in the daughters’ room to the navy scheme in the son’s, the charter became bolder, brighter, more fun! “It’s an upbeat house for upbeat people,” says Boozer. “I like to do projects that are happy. That’s what I am always striving for, to put positive vibes out into the world.” For Sullivan, who moved in in July 2020 after just four weeks of Zoom decorating meetings, those vibes have been powerful medicine. Her family rode out the pandemic in the Hamptons, with remote school at the dining room table and alfresco gatherings by the pool. “Rayman has been with us through all our phases as a family,” says Sullivan, noting that Boozer put the same love and attention into that first one-bedroom as he did this home. “He will forever be my go-to.” —SAM COCHRAN

Studio Zewde

NEW YORK

“Every landscape should look different,” says New Yorker Sara Zewde, deemed a 2021 Emerging Voice by the Architectural League of New York. Her work resists similitude down to the simplest things: “Why can’t we rethink what a curb looks like?” she wonders. Her projects, which hang somewhere between urban planning and landscape design, aim to “create enduring places where people belong.” They include the evolution of Graffiti Pier, a beloved (and much-Instagrammed) streetart landmark in Philadelphia and the winning design (with fellow AD100 honoree Sir David Adjaye) to redevelop part of the Kingsboro Psychiatric Center campus in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, which will include affordable housing and a range of public spaces for the community. Zewde, who has researched—and lectured on at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design—Frederick Law Olmsted’s writings that connect ecology to larger social structures, is working on a forthcoming book on the pioneering landscape architect. studio-zewde.com Landscape architect Sara Zewde in her Harlem, New York, studio.

Stefanie Brechbuehler, Robert Highsmith, and Ryan Mahoney—the principals behind the multidisciplinary design studio Workstead—are connoisseurs of craftsmanship. Shortly after forming in 2009, the firm made a splash with its design of the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The trio thoughtfully transformed the formerly industrial building, crafting a cool and contemporary space that preserved its historic roots, and the project has come to symbolize their subsequent work. Documented in the recently published monograph Workstead: Interiors of Beauty and Necessity (Rizzoli), their signature style marries the bones of the past with contemporary sensibilities. Case in point: the firm’s bold grafting of a modernist pavilion onto a graceful Victorian manse to create a genre-bending country getaway for a client in New York’s Hudson Valley (AD, July/August 2021). Additionally, Workstead’s covetable lighting designs have become must-have objects among design cognoscenti. workstead.com

LOS ANGELES

Following the well-traveled road from production design to interior design, Mandy Cheng has parlayed her experience in film, television, and music into a career as one of the most sought-after decorators on the contemporary scene. Her résumé in the entertainment industry includes a stint at DreamWorks Animation, music-video production design for chart-toppers J. Cole and OneRepublic, and graphicdesign work on Greta Gerwig’s movie Lady Bird and Beyoncé’s Lemonade album. She branched out into residential and commercial interiors in 2012, crafting environments defined by both high style and easy, unpretentious livability. The home she designed for actors Daveed Diggs and Emmy RaverLampman (AD, April 2021) made a splash with its bright pops of color and pattern and bespoke details that captured the effervescent spirit of her high-profile clients. She continues to apply her chic, breezy sensibility to a broad array of houses, traditional and modern, across Southern California. mandychengdesign.com

Jeremiah Brent Design

NEW YORK

Jeremiah Brent is ready for his close-up. Despite the myriad projects—house commissions, television shows, product collections—that he creates in collaboration with his high-profile husband, AD100 designer Nate Berkus, Brent has established himself as a force in his own right, applying his discriminating eye to a broad range of residential, commercial, and hospitality assignments across the U.S. His roots in the fashion world continue to inform his work in the arena of interiors, particularly in his ability to conjure environments simultaneously of the moment and timeless. “I’ve always believed the ultimate form of luxury is personalization. It has nothing to do with budget,” Brent insists. “Designing a space is, in actuality, the art of telling a story. Through vignettes, materials, client-conscious decisions, and historical references, there’s an opportunity to craft something that is deeply relevant, truly original, and unequivocally personal.” jeremiahbrent.com

Teo Yang Studio The two traditional hanoks in Seoul’s new-meets-old Bukchon Hanok Village where Teo Yang lives and works (AD, May 2021) have, no doubt, inspired the designer’s singular approach. “Focusing on local context, heritage, and culture but recasting it in a very modern, 21st-century aesthetic has been a manifesto for me,” says the designer, who worked for Marcel Wanders in Amsterdam before returning to his native Seoul to start his own practice in 2009. Since then, he’s brought that mantra to stores and restaurants as well as the lobby of the ancient artifact-filled Silla History Gallery at the Gyeongju National Museum. This year he launched his own furniture collection, Eastern Edition. Next up: the L.A. home of a prominent Korean art collector, the Seoul outpost of Thaddaeus Ropac gallery, and a national museum in Seoul dedicated to the Korean language. teoyangstudio.com

Yellow House Architects

Elizabeth Graziolo, the Haitian-born, New York–based architect who worked under fellow AD100 architect Peter Pennoyer for two decades before striking out on her own in 2020, is well versed in the classics. But now, as she executes ambitious projects of her own—reconfiguring classic Manhattan apartments, executing a ground-up residence in the Midwest, renovating a private estate and designing and building a boathouse in Palm Beach— she explains, “We draw upon our knowledge of traditional architecture— proven models that have evolved over centuries—while adding modern touches.” A perfect example: an apartment in Tribeca’s storied Woolworth Tower Residences, where Cass Gilbert’s architectural flourishes have been refreshed for a modern family. yellowhousearchitects.com Elizabeth Graziolo of Yellow House Architects atop the Woolworth Building in New York City. 62

From an experimental residence built in the caverns of a stone quarry (AD, April 2021) to permanent art installations that appear to have been excavated from the earth, the work of husband-and-wife architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa interrogate the very ways we live and build. That inquiry now continues from their own Brookline, Massachusetts, home and studio, assembled out of prefabricated elements, and extends to Spain, where the studio’s new factory outside Madrid produces more modules for projects to come—among them a follow-up to their blockbuster interventions at Tippet Rise Art Center in Montana. ensamble.info

Apartment 48

NEW YORK

As Rayman Boozer tells it, he’s all about “putting positive vibes out in the world.” From 1994 until 2011, the Alabama-born, Indianaraised interior designer did so from his beloved New York City store, Apartment 48, where he layered home goods into an imagined residence long before doing so was the norm. Eventually, devoted customers became adoring clientele (see page 33), and Boozer pivoted from shopkeeping to decorating. Ever since, he has created relaxed, confident rooms that brim with color, pattern, and an effortless air of joy— rooms, in other words, that bring a smile to your face. apartment48.com

Hallworth Design

LOS ANGELES

Rather than being defined by an instantly recognizable signature style, the projects of interior and product designer Jane Hallworth are noted for their graciousness, ease, and soulful ambience—they look as if they evolved organically over time, not conjured magically with the wave of a decorator’s wand. Narrative-driven and intensely collaborative, her work tells stories specific to each client, articulated through the imagination of a diverse team of designers, craftsmen, artists, and fabricators. That approach has garnered a client roster chockablock with heavyhitting Hollywood creatives, actors Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons (AD, November 2021) and Michelle Williams and director Thomas Kail among them. “I take a studied approach to the details, born of my love for architecture and design of wide-ranging periods and geographic origins,” Hallworth says, underscoring her catholic tastes and dexterity in moving between traditional and modern idioms. Her current projects— including a 1,200-acre ranch in Montana, a classic George Washington Smith house in Beverly Hills, and a multistory condo in New York City—testify to the elasticity of Hallworth’s vision. hallworth.com

BROOKLYN AND HILLSDALE, NEW YORK

“We will always reference artist-made homes,” says designer Aaron Aujla, who founded the New York–based Green River Project with Benjamin Bloomstein in 2017, after they’d worked for artists Nate Lowman and Robert Gober, respectively. What started with narrative-driven furniture collections that prioritized rough-hewn materials like raw mahogany, coffee-stained lauan, bamboo, and dried tobacco leaves quickly evolved into full-blown interiors, popularizing today’s vogue for all-over wood. The look is steadily infiltrating Lower Manhattan, where the duo designed retail spaces for menswear brand Bode (Emily Bode is Aujla’s wife) and hip Chinatown hangouts like Dr Clark, a Japanese restaurant, and The River, a new bar next door that features a 100-foot oil painting of the Hudson River. Meanwhile, they carve out idiosyncratic spaces for creative clients (among them photographer Tyler Mitchell and playwright Jeremy O. Harris) from Rockaway, Queens (AD, February 2021), to Virginia and Santa Monica, where personal histories are woven into the woodwork. greenriverprojectllc.com

Launched in 2014 and led by founder David Flack and co-principal Mark Robinson, the studio specializes in residential work and hospitality commissions, all animated by an adventurous sensibility that privileges both historical research and contemporary innovation. “We delight in architecture and interior projects in which furniture, lighting, textiles, and fittings coalesce into a holistic—if sometimes idiosyncratic— experience,” Flack says, further describing the firm’s work as “personal and definitive, with a touch of daring.” A deep sense of materiality and a passion for contemporary art are two hallmarks of the studio, whose projects include homes throughout Melbourne, restaurants in New South Wales, and the much-anticipated Ace Hotel in Sydney, slated to open this summer. flackstudio.com.au David Flack in his studio office in Melbourne, Australia. 72

Carlos Mota Inc.

NEW YORK

With his wide-ranging experience as a celebrated stylist, creative consultant, and international style editor at AD, Carlos Mota has been well prepared for taking on the role of interior designer in recent years. He has even designed a beautiful scenic wall covering for Pierre Frey, and the title of his 2019 book, Beige Is Not a Color (Vendome Press), has become something of a rallying cry for aesthetes tired of bland decor. Today the multihyphenate creative uses his full-fledged mastery of color to enliven the homes of clients around the globe, including model Jessica Hart, whose vibrant Los Angeles abode (AD, September 2021) perfectly captures his philosophy that “houses should reflect the client’s personality as well as that of the designer.” One thing is for sure: The former stylist has kept his unerring knack for the details, thoughtfully curating every inch of the homes he touches with artistry and allure. casamota.com

LOS ANGELES

Although he launched his namesake firm a mere two years ago, Jake Arnold has already established himself as a major force in the world of interior design. As a cofounder of The Expert, a digital platform that connects high-profile designers with clients via online consultations, he rocked a famously tech-phobic industry tethered to outmoded business models. At the same time, he has built his own design practice into a juggernaut, with a list of celebrity clients that includes John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Aaron Paul (AD, March 2020), Rashida Jones, and Whitney Cummings. “My philosophy is to create spaces that are high-impact but livable, timeless, and comfortable,” Arnold says of his approach, which places a premium on subdued tones, artisanal details, and richly textured organic materials. His coastto-coast commissions encompass residences in Fort Lauderdale and New York City as well as a host of projects, both renovations and new builds, throughout his hometown of Los Angeles. jakearnold.com

LOS ANGELES

David Netto is a true designer’s designer, deeply immersed in the history of the craft, its long-standing traditions, and its pantheon of legendary practitioners and landmark projects. A consummate arbiter elegantiae and industry gadabout, he creates interiors that transcend the increasingly antiquated definitions of traditional and modern. Instead, he draws on the past to conjure profoundly beautiful spaces rooted in the here and now, spaces alive to the pulse of contemporary life. Rejecting the wisdom of received ideas, his philosophy prizes inspiration and imagination above all else: “Respect the architecture, insist on quality, challenge yourself when it comes to color, and try not to repeat your favorite ideas. Ask yourself every day, ‘What did I do to add to the story of American chic?’ If it’s nothing, try again tomorrow.” That attitude has garnered a following of elite clients on the order of Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, Lauren Santo Domingo, Renee Rockefeller, and Nathalie Farman-Farma. davidnettodesign.com

great room is like a fabulous dinner party: The guest list encompasses a broad array of fascinating figures, each with a singular point of view; there is both harmony and a welcome degree of friction in the conversation; and a handful of unexpected, oddball characters turn up to keep the proceedings from becoming too polite. By that measure, the dazzling Los Angeles home of Tinder cofounder Sean Rad and his wife, fashion designer Lizzie Grover Rad, is the hottest ticket in town. Chockablock with myriad treasures both familiar and obscure, the house gathers strength not simply from its blockbuster lineup of design luminaries but from the surprising affinities, interwoven narratives, and intriguing juxtapositions orchestrated by AD100 designer Jane Hallworth. In short, it’s a knockout. “You can’t make a house like this without clients who are willing to take risks and break a few rules, clients committed to living with beautiful things they truly appreciate and

understand,” Hallworth says. “Lizzie grew up in Virginia, very East Coast. She’s got a mellow-chic sensibility that can veer off into the eccentric. Sean is an L.A. guy with a more minimalist style and a kind of magpie fascination with strange, wonderful objects. The house spins those different threads together in a way that feels youthful but sophisticated,” the designer adds. The couple’s idiosyncratic personal tastes come into full flower in the decor of their home offices—spaces that rarely grab top billing in a typical house story. Rad’s lair, wrapped in an envelope of reclaimed French oak, feels ready-made for a modern captain of industry. A monumental Georg Baselitz canvas hangs behind a George Nakashima dining table repurposed as a desk, surrounded by estimable pieces by Tobia Scarpa, Poul Kjærholm, Marcel Breuer, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, and Jean Prouvé. Elevated on a bespoke wood pedestal, a vintage late-1970s Apple II computer—a 30thbirthday gift from Grover Rad—nods to her husband’s roots in tech. “I’ve been working out of hotels and boxes for years. I never had a proper office before, so I wanted to create a space that would inspire me and the people I work with,” says the tenacious entrepreneur, who parted ways with Tinder in 2017 and now runs Rad Fund, a private investment company.

Grover Rad’s office, meanwhile, features a massive disco ball, hand-distressed by Grover Rad herself with coatings of espresso powder, alongside signature furnishings by Osvaldo Borsani, Gio Ponti, Gabriella Crespi, and a host of lesser-known creators of objets de vertu. The ensemble sits on an ice floe of sheepskin carpets proudly procured from IKEA and Costco. Positioned behind her Carl Malmsten desk—where she’s currently plotting the 2022 launch of her namesake fashion brand, Grover Rad—a George Condo painting titled Interacting Figures makes a provocative backdrop for Zoom meetings. with acanthus leaves, lion heads, and other classical ornaments. “Sean had zero input here. This was my opportunity to express “I didn’t want to do some big statement light fixture that my maximalist self,” she admits. would suck up all the energy and focus,” the designer explains. “The tree tempers the scale of the room, and that gorgeous, craggy planter makes a lovely counterpoint to the silvery WHILE MOST DESIGNERS typically reserve their choicest finds Vincenzo De Cotiis cocktail table, which feels like a heraldic and most dramatic gestures for a home’s main social arena, Hallworth took a quieter approach to the double-height living shield bouncing natural light into the room.” Of course, if it’s drama and wonder you’re looking for, there’s room. The first major piece she and her clients acquired for the plenty to be found elsewhere in the home: in the kitchen’s senspace was a 16th-century marble water-well head from Italy, repurposed as a planter for a towering ficus tree and festooned suous, Rorschach-like marble treatment and bronze cabinetry;

in the rare, futuristic 1930s Poul Henningsen grand piano that anchors the music room (Rad is an accomplished composer and musician); in the Carlo Bugatti table that holds the whiskey decanter in the bar; and in the ballet of swirling, skirted, mechanized pendant lights by Studio Drift in the entry hall. For sheer jaw-dropping astonishment, however, there’s no topping the gloriously decadent primary bath, wrapped in a cocoon of Breccia Capraia marble, with a monolithic tub carved from a single block of stone and a marble chaise longue installed in the steam shower—Hallworth’s tip of the hat to

Le Corbusier’s bathroom at the Villa Savoye. “It’s over-the-top, but in the nicest possible way,” the designer observes wryly. “Jane took me out of my comfort zone on this project. It’s the detail and care she put in, her refusal to compromise, that I respect so much,” Rad says, summing up the extraordinary design adventure. Grover Rad seconds the notion: “It’s inspiring to see how bold she’s willing to go. Jane comes up with insane ideas, insane stories, and as much as she values the integrity and authenticity of the house, the story she cares most about is the one we’re making together.”

ot too terribly long ago, an aristocratic neighbor dropped by interior architect and designer Martin Brudnizki’s new country place in the wilds of Sussex. Eyes widening, he was plainly stunned by the orchidaceous ensemble: lampshades piped with ruffles, fabrics as thickly flowered as any high-summer herbaceous border, flashes of mirrored glass. Passing from the English-pea-purée entrance hall into the goldenrod-yellow drawing room thickly hung with works of art—among them a heroic depiction of Charles II that is parked above the drinks table—he paused, peered, and pondered, eventually settling down on a supersized pink ottoman. After a moment, the visitor said, in a reflective tone, “This is a lot to take in.” It was a comment that delighted Brudnizki. Indeed, it is precisely the sort of reaction that the AD100 star and his partner in life and business, Jonathan Brook, await when they throw open the eau-de-Nile front doors on weekends. “People don’t know where to look,” Brudnizki says, grinning. “I love that complete confusion.” It’s his horror vacui riposte to playit-safe decors. “Minimalism has nothing to say,” the designer continues, adding, “This is a fantasy of English arcadian life by a Swede who didn’t grow up in houses like this. It’s an extreme

point of view, but it’s not for a client; it’s for me and Jonathan, and we wanted to be quite crazy.” Brook chimes in, “Anybody else would have brought in brown furniture and chintz curtains. You need an outside influence to do something different, and people forget that traditional English design and architecture are full of foreign influences, from Andrea Palladio to Giacomo Leoni.”

Anyone familiar with Brudnizki’s commercial projects, most famously his punchy, pattern-on-pattern revamp of Annabel’s, the venerable London club, knows that a certain level of pearl-clutching delirium is expected. In the couple’s apartment—which takes up much of the ground floor of Binderton House, a 17th-century bolt-hole that once belonged to former prime minister Anthony Eden—the general effect

is as if John Fowler, the Colefax & Fowler tastemaker, had dropped a bit of acid. Why hang one painting from a decorative blue bow when you can do it with a dozen and then swag them all with rosy ribbons? Or lavish a bedroom with a wall-to-wall linen print of life-size foxgloves beneath a ceiling as pink as a candied almond? When Brook and Brudnizki decided to gild

the Georgian chimneypiece in the drawing room, the discreet accenting that had been intended soon morphed into a mother lode that crept up and out, even to the room’s cornice. Not many people would add lampshades to a Venetian chandelier— after all, those light fixtures are already pretty opulent—but the jolly gentlemen of Binderton House did just that, each shade fashioned of boldly ruched pink silk and wrapped with rows of fluffy blue fringe. “They’re like hats,” Brudnizki explains. “And they’re so much fun.”

s the designer observes, “Most people are in shock when they first see the place, but by the end of the evening, they’re sprawling on the sofa. What I really like about maximalism is that it’s about camouflage. You feel hidden in a room full of patterns and things. People walk in and they disappear, like in a painting by Vuillard.” A gallery’s worth of art, from Old Masters to what Brudnizki describes as tat, has been fitted into the drawing room like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. “We started with three big canvases, but Martin wanted to fill the walls, so we created a grid with a Zoffany portrait, capriccios, and landscapes, and added miniatures to fill the gaps,” Brook says. Adds Brudnizki, “I hate seeing blank spaces.” Most of the works that the couple have assembled have local resonance.

2020—depict the area, such as Claude Lorrain–ish views of Chichester Harbor by George Smith, an 18th-century painter and poet from the town. Contemporary works are creeping into the mix, too, namely Flora Yukhnovich canvases that resemble abstracted details from Tiepolo murals and, thus, echo the palazzi where Venetian chandeliers like the one in the drawing room would have been installed. One of the couple’s dreams is to own Rex Whistler’s 1944 painting of Binderton House, created during a weekend he spent there; sold at auction a few years ago, it was likely the last oil painting that Whistler—one of the most incandescent of the era’s bright young people—did before he was killed in World War II. The aforementioned Charles II portrait, a 19th-century copy of a Sir Peter Lely, also has a regional reference: When the future king, accused of high treason, fled to France in 1651, his journey took him through West Sussex. And since the harbormaster is one of their neighbors, Brook and Brudnizki snapped up a 2015 Ryan Mosley portrait of a bearded sea captain and placed it in the striped guest room. “We like everything to fit into a narrative,” Brook says of his and Brudnizki’s philosophy of personal style—and much of that narrative is built around the people at its heart. “In a typical country house, generations of a family always add their own touches over hundreds of years,” Brudnizki says. “At the same time, we wanted everything to relate to the area or to us. This is our own story.”

For collector Hélène Nguyen-Ban, Elliott Barnes puts a modern spin on a classic chalet in the French ski resort of Megève PHOTOGRAPHY BY

A MONUMENTAL GEORG BASELITZ SCULPTURE GUARDS THE ENTRY.

magining a dream retreat in the French mountain village of Megève led AD100 designer Elliott Barnes and his client Hélène Nguyen-Ban, a passionate collector, to profound conversations about art, family, and togetherness. “We talked about a contemporary chalet interior as a suitable backdrop for art and also a welcoming environment for family and friends,” says Barnes, a Los Angeles native who has lived and practiced in Paris for more than 30 years. “That basic idea—art and family—became the inspiration, theme, and organizational backbone of the entire project.” Tucked away in the French Alps, Megève, a renowned ski destination for the beau monde since the 1920s, has managed to maintain its fairy-tale-like charm. The village’s sweeping views of Mont Blanc and its cobblestone streets, dating back to medieval times, are part of its enduring allure. Only an hour’s drive from Geneva, the location makes it an accessible getaway for Nguyen-Ban, her husband, and their three daughters, who are based in London and travel frequently to France. “Construction in the mountains is complex,” Barnes admits, with a note of wry understatement. The designer’s longtime clients (this is their fourth project together) had initially searched for an existing property before they ultimately decided to build from the ground up. Citing climate and thermal considerations as well as the restricted building schedule of a resort area, Barnes says that partnering with a local architect was a priority. He describes the close collaboration that resulted with architect Gérard Ravello as a commitment to creating a holistic home, with a seamless bond between the interior and exterior. “We didn’t want to fall into a cliché of Swiss chalet style, so we used traditional building materials but in a much more tailored, pared-down fashion,” Barnes explains, sketching the overriding design sensibility. Only four primary materials were used in the construction: Pierre de Vals stone, locally sourced pine, blackened metal, and plaster. The modest front door, set within a façade detailed with small windows, belies the drama that unfolds within. “Once you enter into the main salon, that’s where the view happens,

that’s the big wow,” the designer says, noting the space’s lofty ceiling, soaring chimney, and enormous picture window overlooking a majestic mountain vista. “By opening up the space it becomes a gathering point, driving our idea of togetherness through the topology of the house,” he adds. Comprising four bedrooms in the main house, a kids’ dormitory that sleeps nine, and a guesthouse christened the “Petit Chalet,” the property can host 23 people, which means plenty of activity, especially in the salon. “Everything can be moved easily. When you have lots of people coming and going, you can’t have a space that’s fixed,” says Barnes. An oversized table from a pub in England, a flea market find, grounds the main dining area. The grouping of mismatched wood dining chairs, also flea market finds, were unified with faux-fur covers. A column of ceramic pots created by Cameroonian artist Pascale Marthine Tayou represents a clever homage

“We didn’t want to fall into a cliché of Swiss chalet style, so we used traditional building materials but in a much more tailored fashion.” —Elliott Barnes to a long tradition of decorative faience tiles in the Alps. “In a subtle way, all the artwork selected for the chalet gives a nod to certain things one might see in more traditional mountain homes,” Barnes observes. For the pine-paneled kitchen, the designer chose a custom range and signature cabinetry by La Cornue, “to capture the spirit of classic French cooking,” he says. The art of living is also celebrated with a cheese cave, a sausage-curing room, and a luxurious wine cellar with a subterranean picture window highlighting the granite of the excavated hill. “It’s important to feel connected to the earth,” Barnes avers.

TRADITIONAL CHALET BEDROOMS are typically small

in order to maintain heat, and the sleeping quarters here are no exception. Whatever they may lack in size, the bedrooms more than make up for in intimacy, warmth, and magical views from windows strategically placed to best appreciate the beauty of the land. A circular skylight crowns the primary bath, pouring natural illumination onto a generous round copper tub with standing faucets. A fireplace recessed into a mirrored wall casts a gentle glow on the tub’s metallic surface. The retractable floor above the swimming pool was an idea that emerged from discussions with Nguyen-Ban about creating a multipurpose space for parties and other functions. With the push of a button, the pool can easily become a dance floor—a vision seemingly plucked from a James Bond movie. An unexpected view of people splashing in the water as one enters the ski room from the garage only buoys the Bond fantasy. Given the expansive scope of the clients’ art collection, Barnes says that selecting pieces for the chalet essentially amounted to a curatorial conversation. “Hélène likes to live with the works she collects almost in the way one would live with family portraits—everything has a connection and an emotional resonance,” the designer explains. “Pieces move in and out, so the installation isn’t static. Like the house itself and the experiences it nurtures, the art feels alive.”

After Cooper’s team stripped things back a disco ball shimmering amid Deco-era glam at the Siren in to the essentials, the main walls were painted in Domingue’s Detroit, and a divine gingham fantasia at Hôtel Peter & Paul, a onetime church and school in New Orleans.

BUT AS TIME PASSED, the narrative shifted. Cooper started doing

what he does best: collect. A pile of textiles from Turkey, India, and France found its way into the space, as pillows, seat cushions, and even a clever disguise for the TV. With a suite of Scandinavian antiques from Manhattan purveyor Dienst + Dotter Antikviteter and a range of rugs from Heirloom in Brooklyn, Cooper layered in bursts of the unexpected. “A project needs time to evolve,” says the designer, who, after looking at Horst P. Horst’s images from Vogue, began to fantasize about the eclectic high-society homes of the 1960s grandes dames. “I wanted to somehow imbue that level of taste and sophistication here in a loft in a contemporary way, through textiles and layers,” he explains. Slowly he coaxed his clients out of their all-white comfort zone. Most of the walls remained as requested, but the inside of the wet bar got a hit of aubergine lacquer. Bathrooms were clad in colorful tiles, the primary bedroom was painted a warm shade of praline and the moody media room a deep navy blue. In went the textiles, adding texture and color galore. Perhaps the biggest thrill came in the children’s room, where twin 1920s beds were dressed in D. Porthault linens and antique Turkish and Peruvian textiles, then canopied with antique ceremonial wedding-procession tents from Gujarat, India.

Lest we forget: Kids are part of this story. Cooper designed accordingly, squirreling toys away here and there—in a yellow ottoman in the living room, in generous closets in their colorful bedroom. Per the family’s request, ASH devised a modular sofa upholstered in red velvet and mohair with an integrated back, perfect for tumbling tots. Across the apartment, the plot thickens as highly decorative furnishings—a fleet of Swedish Rococo pieces (a bench, a console, a pair of gilt-wood mirrors, and more), whimsical wicker and rattan from the world over—blend in with industrial classics. Marcel Breuer’s B33 chairs surround the Pierre Chapo dining table, for instance. Overhead, custom cone-shaped ceramic pendants, inspired by one from Cecil Beaton’s bedroom, hang on metal chains. Meanwhile, in the living area, a Gio Ponti lounge is covered in Scalamandré’s “Panthera” leopard-print velvet, and at the bar, simple, powder-coated-steel counter stools are dressed in frilly skirts of striped Turkish silk. “That modernity was important—the Breuer, the black leather, the chrome, the planters in polished stainless steel,” explains Cooper, whose own contemporary furniture designs for ASH— a few Pillow Chairs, a range of simple WC tables—are also sprinkled in. “We’re not in an old-world place,” he says, after all. “This is Tribeca.”

moved in, the husband suffered a fatal heart attack. “It was a very rough time for our family,” acknowledges the homeowner. “The girls and I were in a difficult place for a while.” Helping her daughters through their grief became her priority. “I wanted them to see that we could still be happy and hopeful people, despite their father’s death,” she says.

Indeed, the house’s untrammeled spaces seem to invite especially deep breaths. In the living room, the low-profile seating promotes an easy flow, and the walls—which have built-in cabinetry disguising a television and additional storage areas—seem to recede.

Throughout the house, the plaster walls are coated in Farrow & Ball’s All White, which Carter settled on only after an iterative process of experimentation. “White seems easy, but it’s such a nuanced color,” he explains. “For this house, we wanted a true white. But if I were designing a more traditional interior, for instance, I would have gone with a warmer shade.” “The house is minimalistic but doesn’t feel empty,” the owner says. “We fill up the space with the talk of the day’s events, work, school, and teenage drama.” In the late afternoons, she and her daughters often find themselves drawn to the dining room, where they’ll work separately on their laptops, comfortably sitting in silent concentration beneath the undulating Ted Abramczyk chandeliers suspended cloudlike above them, their adored dog, a Lagotto Romagnolo, napping at their feet. It’s a room Carter says he particularly loved designing. “I don’t see the point of a formal dining room that only gets used on holidays,” he explains. “We designed this one to feel almost like a library, with places for books and an indestructible table. I think it’s a room that beckons.” The owner agrees. “We all have our private spaces, but we also have these rooms where we love to be together,” she says. “Darryl understood my vision for the house, and the result is something we’re very grateful for.”

FOR DETAILS SEE RESOURCES.

Reflecting on Marfa in 1985, Donald Judd wrote:

“The area of West Texas was fine, mostly high rangeland dropping to desert along the river, with mountains over the edge in every direction. There were few people and the land was undamaged.” Decades later, that spellbinding beauty and sense of exquisite isolation remain, albeit juxtaposed with the artist’s own legacy—the Judd Foundation (anchored by The Block, his former home) and the Chinati Foundation, the army base he transformed into a museum for contemporary art. Today’s Marfa is a contradiction: a tumbleweed town and an international pilgrimage site, where Judd’s visions of unified art and architecture reached their apotheosis.

It was that heady mix that set two creative New Yorkers, both natives of the Lone Star State, on the long drive to this one-stoplight oasis. “If you’re from Texas and involved in the arts, then all roads lead to Marfa,” says one, whom we’ll refer to as Cowboy for the sake of this western adventure. As his other half—let’s call her Cowgirl—recounts, “The moment I saw the town, I felt connected. It’s intangible…the big sky, the light, the breeze. Marfa is not one thing; it’s many things.” Their plans to buy land and build a contemporary glass box were scrapped when they visited a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival house for sale. Designed by Henry Charles Trost, a celebrated El Paso architect who cut his teeth in the Chicago School, the home occupied a hilltop plot not far from the center of town, with spectacular views and an adjoining empty parcel. Judd had even owned it once upon a time. Says Cowgirl, “It just felt true and beautiful and right.” To reimagine the property, they turned to architect Annabelle Selldorf, whom they knew from New York and through Chinati. She updated the Trost house (whose original details had already been stripped away by the prior owner) through a series of deft interventions to the floor plan. On the

main level, clusters of small rooms were combined to create a vast living space, with multiple seating areas, and a spacious chef’s kitchen, where an enormous island can seat six comfortably. A tight, sculptural staircase now descends to the primary suite on the lower level, creating a sequence of compression and expansion. “You had to make the trip downstairs into something exciting,” notes Selldorf, whose hand can be felt most clearly on what had been vacant land, where she devised a side-by-side guest casita and a garage/gym, as well as an entertaining pavilion up on another hill. “The architectural vocabulary is a simple series of volumes that speak to one another but feel distinct from the old architecture,” she notes of the structures, clad in clay-colored stucco and aligned to create beautiful transitions. ALONG THE WAY, Selldorf connected the clients with landscape

mastermind Madison Cox, whom they visited in Marrakech well before Cox made it to Marfa. That first trip to Morocco was an aha moment: Their eyes widened as Cox welcomed them to Villa Oasis, introducing them to the work of designer Bill Willis, and guided them to sites throughout the region, whose landscape, building materials, and sensibilities reminded them of West Texas. In no time, an enormous shipping container filled with pots, zellige, and furnishings of all kinds was on its way to Marfa, where Cox conceived a series of outdoor spaces that blend the local vernacular with Moroccan traditions.

Terra-cotta tiles line porches, walkways, and exterior stairs. Terraced terrain, fragrant with sage, descends from the pavilion to the pool—part of a larger strategy to limit lawns for water conservation. And iron pergolas devised with Selldorf offer shade thanks to rush awnings that will one day be replaced by creeping vines. JEFFREY BILHUBER, the couple’s longtime decorator, com-

pleted the design dream team. “When the clients brought me on, they said the first thing to do is come and soak in what Marfa is, what Marfa gives,” he reflects with trademark flourish. “Over the course of the drive your mind begins to open, so that by the time you do arrive your mind is ready to receive.” The mandate for the interiors was to maintain that spirit of discovery. Vintage and antique finds from around the world mix with an assortment of textiles—Turkish, Navajo, Uzbek—and a collection of contemporary art, including pieces by Walead Beshty, Rashid Johnson, Jenny Holzer, and Do Ho Suh. Tilework inspired by Bill Willis enlivens bedroom suites, each one defined by a color scheme that nods to the

surrounding landscape. “This house doesn’t turn its back on Marfa,” Bilhuber reflects. “It embraces Marfa fully, reinventing the language of what Marfa could be.” Nods to Judd are, in fact, few and far between. One of his daybeds can be found in the entertaining pavilion, sometimes positioned before the telescoping window walls that merge indoors with outdoors. Timber shelving in the style of the artist’s own lines the library. And privacy walls throughout the grounds recall The Block’s adobe perimeter. Yet Judd’s influence is unmistakable—evident in the refinement of every minimalist detail and the rhythm of Selldorf’s geometries. The greatest connection, however, may just be the clients’ commitment to Marfa. The home was a multiyear project, with more phases to come outside where Cox plans to expand the plantings based on what has thrived. At times the property even serves as an extension of the local cultural landscape, with art-world gatherings for upwards of 100. Neither clients nor dream team, however, seem fazed by the marathon effort. Says Bilhuber, “You have to take the long road—and a long road it is.”

GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN–PARIS Founded in 1989, GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN is located in Paris’s Bastille district in a 300 sqm (3200 sq ft) space, architectured by JEAN NOUVEL. Since its opening, the gallery has brought the talents of French designers such as JEAN PROUVÉ, CHARLOTTE PERRIAND, PIERRE JEANNERET, LE CORBUSIER and JEAN ROYÈRE into the international spotlight. With a particular specialization in the work of Jean Prouvé, Galerie Patrick Seguin works rigorously to promote both his furniture as well as his architecture (demountable houses). As of today, the gallery has assembled the most important collection of these demountable houses, which for the most part are either unique examples or were produced in very few numbers.

one to watch Simone Bodmer-Turner

When Simone Bodmer-Turner began experimenting with clay in 2014, as a creative outlet from her day job at a start-up, the artist fell in love with the process. “It’s so…quiet,” she half whispers during a recent visit to her sun-dappled Brooklyn studio. The work itself is equally hushed: soft, undulating shapes, glazed in a spectrum of dreamy whites. “I was so interested in form making that I put color on the back burner,” she notes of her signature restrained palette. Hand-built vessels made for the florist Saipua gave way to slip-cast series, allowing her to streamline her production process and become more ambitious in her fine-art practice. In 2019 she started experimenting with chairs, and one of her most recent, pictured, features a swooping, ever-so-slightly cantilevered seat. Early in the pandemic she created a gypsum wall in her studio that was loosely inspired by artist Valentine Schlegel. Now she’s working on several similar architectural interventions for private residences in New York and abroad. It all feeds her latest project: a solo show this month at New York City’s Matter gallery, where she will unveil a console, chairs, lights, and sculptures—most of it in clay. These days she doesn’t really see herself as a ceramist. Rather, she says, “The work is just sculpture and clay is the medium.” simonebodmerturner.com —HANNAH MARTIN
