Grand Entry, Gallery & Butler’s Pantry

We were honored to design two spaces in ICONIC HAUS. We wanted to create “galleries,” where one can enjoy a stroll to each room. The word gallery inspired us to source fine art. We can display artistry of so many trades and crafts, where the gallery can weave other rooms through the house together, exploiting European tones with accompanying modern touches inspired by the Mod-iterranean architecture. Materials mimic the textures of the antique pots at the front door.

The floors feature hand-woven textile rugs, passed down the ages with new modernized patterns. Iron lighting itself combines old world technique with modern style. The inspiration of the space is much like the Earth and Images motto: comfort of the past and thrill of the future.

Our inspiration for the butler’s pantry was to complement the main kitchen while mixing Old-World sensibility and a modern twist. Herringbone violet and gold tile, unique to this space, adds a modern flair yet is keenly parallel with Mediterranean colors of royalty. White clay pots from local artists pay homage to silhouettes that have carried on through eras of European history while orschach-like paintings are a nod to modern-day use of abstract art.

Great Room

This Modern Mediterranean Great oom is an eclectic mix of classic Old-World details with a clean modern twist. Mod-iterranean style has an emphasis on earthy warmth with natural materials, blending the indoor-outdoor living we cherish in Arizona.

Playing off the feel of the vintage Bourbon Bar, modern furnishings are deftly mixed with antique treasures to create a uniquely collected interior. Leathers, boucl , linens, mix of metals, antique pottery and washed woods create texture and depth. A vintage Oushak rug grounds the space. A stately camel colored leather sofa with hair on hide upholstery is mixed with two uniquely detailed neutral lounge chairs.

The coffee table is artfully adorned with a mix of books, vintage collectables and earthy ob ects. Two antique Senufo African stools lead into a welcoming spot by the fireplace flanked by low modern metal frame leather chairs and a soft boucle covered ottoman. A Karen Bezuidenhout painting takes center stage above the modern black concrete fireplace surround. Stunning Antique Spanish pots bring the corner a little warmth of the Mediterranean. The harmony of the colors, textures and unique treasures creates a sophisticated welcoming space and a true center of the home.

Bourbon Bar

More than ever, homeowners are setting up personal environments for entertaining in the comfort of their own homes. So enters the newest “wish list” item, the indoor/ outdoor bar. A popular spot at many of the local restaurants including our personal favorite, the bar at El Chorro Lodge, renovated and redesigned by Vallone Design and Candelaria Design in 200 /20 0. A retractable window system to open the space and serve from the interior bar accommodates everything from an elegant evening cocktail party to a casual afternoon BBQ.

To bring in a vintage vibe to a modern-day concept, the black cabinetry and Neolith top are complimented with antique mirror, iron shelving and leather wrapped handles. The raised white oak bar gives warmth to the space. A bar with this aesthetic calls for a mix of vintage and modern styling. A little whimsy off the masculine vibe, we used two Icelandic Sheepskin Acrylic Bar Stools and the elly Wearstler Affinity Lamp.

The exterior bar showcases modern woven barstools from Kettal. Spirits to make the perfect Old Fashioned are displayed alongside beautiful cut crystal decanters and glasses. The Painting by Michael Carson plays into the vibe, and the wall sculpture by Holly Wilson was too amazing to not feature.

Outdoor Entertaining & Grilling Experience

At Dalton Interiors, the 14 principles of biophilia are embedded into our company culture and all our endeavors. Biophilia, defined as the “passionate love of life and all that is alive” romm has been proven to “reduce stress, improve cognitive function and creativity, improve our well- being and expedite healing” Browning, yan, Clancy when incorporated into interior design. Amidst a global pandemic and economic crisis, the restorative properties of biophilia are more important than ever.

Naturally, we gravitated towards the outdoor entertaining space. Oftentimes, we hear the term “bringing the outdoors in” to enhance an interior. Our goal for the space was to bridge the gap between inside and outside by creating a transitional space that integrates the living room with the pool area.

We sourced natural elements, including the wood coffee and side tables, natural fiber area rug, plants and an organic glass sculpture—all while maintaining the interior aesthetic of the home with various pops of gold throughout. We envision this space to be the ideal spot for quiet coffee time, a glass of wine after a long day or an intimate gathering around the fireplace on a chilly winter night.

Culinary Kitchen & Morning Room

A graceful Mediterranean style home takes on a Mod/Boho vibe…and the kitchen is no exception It started out with boutique Viking appliances in matte black with rose gold accents, setting the stage for the color black to be a major theme in this home and our kitchen/breakfast area. Black cabinets are brought to the lighter side with countertops and backsplash of Calcutta marble. The addition of natural rift cut oak cabinets adds natural warmth and contrast and compliments the warm terra cotta tones of the tile floor in the breakfast area.

With a nod to the texture and pattern of the eye-catching floor tile, we added a lot more texture, with baskets, woven rattan dining chairs, pottery pieces, woven black metal pendant light and a concrete tabletop—all enhancing the playful lightheartedness that the “Mod” element of the home’s design aesthetic suggests.

Pool Oasis & Bistro Patio

Inspired by the stunning modern Mediterranean architecture and a vision of a timeless black and white portrait, Dana Dray from luxury outdoor furniture manufacture Brown Jordan was moved to create luxurious outdoor spaces that elegantly wove new designs with the unbothered aesthetic of Mediterranean life.

The home’s private courtyard fuses together the legacy of Walter Lamb Aluminum collection, a design from the 0’s reimagined with new life and innovation, with a fresh new take on woven design from the moody Oscar collection. The resulting space provides comfort and intrigue within the monotone aesthetic of the two mix materials collections.

Playing off the bold mosaic accents, the pool deck follows suite by paring chaise lounge chairs from the modern Still collection with sophisticated Fire Tables and Brown Jordan’s newest collection H. Named for the first letter of the word “hoy”—“today,” in Spanish—the H collection takes a classic mix of materials for a new spin with its -inch diameter rope creating a dramatic sculptural effect against the collection’s streamlined aluminum frames. The combination of these outdoor spaces and enduring design creates the perfect gathering areas to make timeless memories in luxury and comfort.

Elegant Dining & Wining Experience

With the overarching theme of the home being “Mod-iterranean,” my personal philosophy of blending classicism with modernity aligned well with this fusion of styles. In true DMID style, we wanted to add edginess but in a subtle way that allows the perfect backdrop for a desert setting.

Channeling the softer side of Mediterranean design, we started with a neutral color palette. When working with neutrals, the textures become critical elements in creating drama. The gritty surface of the cork wall covering is balanced with subtle hints of gilded gold. Natural fibers of alpaca boucle and virgin wool are enhanced with passementerie an Italian couturier would be proud of.

The dining room allowed the perfect forum to debut a new piece for our EnVie rench for desire) collection; a graceful dining chair. This beauty is dressed in shimmery velvet. Her leather corseted derri re grabs your attention as you enter. The chandelier, with its fluidity of glass mimicking ripples of sand, adds the decadence we are known for.

Carefully curated accessories enhance the space while dramatic artwork from Parisienne artist Gregoire Devin adds the edginess we strive for. A partnership with Town Studios allowed us the procurement of many of the elements in our space.

Entertaining Courtyard

With the beautiful architecture of ICONIC HAUS as our backdrop, our goal was to bring in aspects of Modernity in a way that beckons guests to gather and stay. A central element of fire is surrounded by clean-lined furniture in durable fabrics that mimic natural fibers.

We are proud to introduce our new collaboration with world-class architectural stone purveyors Materials Marketing. Our inspiration for the collection derived from modern totem poles, blended geometric shapes and contrasts in the elements themselves, all the while embodying the classical modernity we are known for. Nero Marquina and Charcoal Limestone play off each other, offering sophistication and grit that creates beautiful tension.

A study in contrasts, materiality, and an understanding of surrounding influences creates the perfect gathering space.

Work from Home Experience

With so many more people working from home this year as their new normal, a home office is more essential than ever. In this office, we created a light and airy environment with classic details and modern touches. In lieu of a traditional desk, a worktable is a great way to open up the space and allows the main office space to feel light, airy and uncluttered. A closet houses all the storage needed for file cabinets, supplies and equipment.

The beautiful glass desk top showcases ends of wine bottles cast into the glass on a simple metal base, while hand-blown glass crystal rondelles in the console table are reminiscent of beautiful stained glass windows.

Hand-made wallcovering is a subtle yet impactful statement to anchor the space and speaks to the overall tone on tone color palette. This helps to keep the room calm and restful to inspire creativity and productivity. Cozy guest chairs allow for family or clients to rest comfortably for any meeting. With this home office, you might even be more inspired to sit down and tackle that to-do-list

We are excited to debut technology that makes communicating from home better. With onetouch on a Crestron remote or mobile app, the Crestron HomeTime video conference system enables you to oin and host Zoom meetings without a laptop, using the TV in the ICONIC HAUS home office. The Crestron HomeTime video conferencing system is, quite simply, the most natural, easy and en oyable Zoom conferencing experience for the home.

ANITA LANG IMI DESIGN

Master Retreat

Intentional design was the impetus of this evocative master bedroom design. Tapping into the unseen energetic forces of the universe, the room manages to combine natural elements with celestial patterns including sacred geometry.

Sacred geometry is based upon the energy patterns that make up our universe. A custom laser-cut wooden trim draws the large-scale pattern of intersecting lines circling the room. Its intricately carved pattern is composed of shapes and lines commonly found in nature that are reflective of energy in the world. Underscoring the celestial motif, black Phillip Jeffries wallcovering creates a backdrop reminiscent of the night sky. An aptly named “Astro” mobile light fixture by Andrew Neyers provides an oversized focal point that is a functional work of art. Furnishings are kept low to the ground for a more intimate feeling, including a custom platform bed with pebble tables.

Continuing the conversation around intention, Anita Lang’s custom line, Design 528 , debuts a bedding collection. These sustainably sourced bed linens are ethically crafted from hemp, the world’s oldest textile fiber, and are embroidered with the sound frequency patterns of the words “love,” “joy” and “beauty.” Sleep with intentions.

The Mod-iterranean architecture lent itself to statement black shutters by Hunter Douglas, as well as the fireplace clad in black marble slab, flanked by two sculptures. Sleek, marble Kelly Wearstler lamps and lightweight linen drapery by Hunter Douglas complete the space.

ASHLI SHIELDS DESIGN OUTSIDE THE LINES

Master Closet

Through bold reflective surfaces, curvilinear and rectilinear lines mixed with a variation of textured materials, our closet design portrays elegance inspired by the ripples of a water droplet. The reflective elements emulate flickers of liquid’s opulence with glints of the contemporary. Subtle curvilinear lines parallel the graceful shape of a droplet falling into a cool pool. The soft undulating lines paired with sharp vertical and horizontal edges mimic those found in the surroundings of water found in nature.

The variation of materiality was selected to echo the light and shadow found between the water’s folds. By selecting mirrored surfaces, designing moments of gentle interactions between curving versus linear moments and a fluctuation of distinctive finishes, we created a sophisticated design that parallels the quality of a droplet cascading into a basin of clear water.

Powder Room

The powder room should be a show-stopping moment in every home. You want guests to think “WOW ” when they enter. Materials and finishes need to be unusual. Ideally, they should be things that visitors haven’t seen before or are used in an unexpected way.

eeping that in mind, we chose fish-tail tile in black, gray and white hues, using an ombre installation. It’s very dramatic, rising from the dark floor and creeping up the wall. The ceilings are high, so we had a custom mirror made for above the super-cool cement floating vanity. It reflects a lot of light back into the space since there is no natural source. The wall-mounted faucet is an unexpected style and finish. The fabulous sconces are another attention-getting moment-very architectural. The Llama framed canvas is intentionally oversized and makes you smile.

The powder room design should make your guests comment when they rejoin the party. You want them to be inspired to go home and re-do their own powder rooms

Game Room & Billiard’s Patio

Worth and TOWN’s design concept for the Game oom was to rethink how such a room should be used. Too often, we fall trap to installing as many high tech, advanced electronics and shiny things in a room like this. The goal for us was to translate those two words differently...Game oom. We wanted whomever arrived into the space to feel a sense of peaceful energy. No TV will be found in this room. Mobile devices should be turned off. This is a space to take a step back from technology and enjoy precious moments with loved ones.

A good conversation, a game of a backgammon or pool. A contemporary interpretation of an Etruscan drawing room is where we drew our inspiration. With a moody wall color, luxurious textiles and finishes incorporated into multiple inviting seating areas, the intention was to create a sanctuary for friends and family. This is a room where technology is set aside in exchange for human interaction...something we have all missed in recent months.

Guest Lounge & Gallery

We wanted to infuse the “Mod-iterranean” feel of the home into our space with neutral elements, refinement, warmth and texture.

or the gallery hallway, we accentuated the arch ceiling detail by finishing it in a beautiful greyish green hue to bring a moodier edge of class, sophistication and uniqueness. The wall sconces have a classic, modern feel to them, as they frame the gorgeous paint stroke artwork on either side of the hallway. We grounded the hallway with a vintage-inspired rug that brings the textures and tones together beautifully.

For the guest lounge, we thought it would be unique to carry the arch character detail that is highlighted throughout the home into the space by creating a focal wall statement that frames the glass sideboard and television. This helps drive cohesion and a special unanticipated twist into the space.

The cane detailing on the side chairs and the arching detail on the arms were subtle but intentional design decisions. We love how the furniture selections are refined yet inviting. The open black shelves bring airiness to the space with the incorporation of warm terracotta finishes from our Design Team’s Home D cor Shop Homes to Treasure.

We wanted this laundry room and mud room to be functional yet fabulous!

All laundry rooms deserve design love, no matter their size. Instead of treating this hardworking space as an afterthought, unique and vibrant materials were utilized to create a lively atmosphere.

A bold color palette, an attention-grabbing textural wall surface and whimsical accents were the motivation behind the design of this space.

GET A grape NIGHT SLEEP

And Drink Up the Experience

By Teresa Traverse

As you’ve sipped and swirled at a winery’s tasting room, you know that feeling of wanting time to linger in the moment. You can extend the experience by staying the night at these luxury hotels with their very own vineyards, ranging from a lush Italian property in Tuscany to a modern hotel smack dab in one of Spain’s

most famous wine regions.

ROSEWOOD CASTIGLION DEL BOSCO Montalcino,,Italy

Founded by family members of the Ferragamo fashion brand, Chiara and Massimo Ferragamo, the 800-yearold Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco in Montalcino, Italy, is situated on an expansive 5,000-acre estate in Tuscany complete with castle ruins, a medieval church and a village.

The resort is home to a winery, spa, cooking school, organic vegetable garden and two restaurants that serve authentic locally sourced Italian cuisine. The UNESCO-heritage site is the fifth-largest producer of Brunello di Montalcino.

When it’s time to sleep, you can stay in one of 11 luxury Tuscan villas housed in restored 17th and 18th-Century farmhouses. Guests who book the 7,815-square-foot Villa Biondi vineyard hotel have country-chic décor and plush amenities, including a living room with a Tuscan fireplace, a private heated outdoor swimming pool and an outdoor terrace overlooking awe-inspiring vistas of Tuscany’s rolling hills.

Wine enthusiasts ” will want to consider partaking in The Vertical Tasting, where they can enjoy seven of the winery’s finest Brunello di Montalcino vintages.”

THE ALLEGRETTO VINEYARD RESORT Paso Robles,, California

Allegretto Vineyard Resort is a 171-room luxury resort in Central California that’s modeled after a Tuscan resort. The hotel is located on 20 acres and includes pools and cabanas, a bocce ball court, a 12,000-squarefoot courtyard and Mediterranean gardens. It even has its own private wine label that guests can drink in the onsite tasting room, including the award-winning 2013 Willow Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, in addition to the Malbec and Vermentino.

Guests can dine in the Cello Ristorante & Bar, digging into locally sourced plates like Australian lamb rack and risotto, served with fresh regional ingredients. When they’re ready to wind down, the Spa Allegretto features wine-inspired treatments. Indulge in an essential oil massage or try the Vinoperfect Radiance Treatment.

THE HOTEL MARQUÉS DE RISCAL Araba,, Spain

Modern meets vintage at the Hotel Marqués de Riscal. Modern architect Frank Gehry designed this hotel that features striking architecture and is in Spain’s famed Rioja wine region. The hotel is located in Araba, nicknamed “The City of Wine” and is also home to one of Rioja’s oldest wineries, the Herederos del Marqués de Riscal. The winery dates back to 1858 and is known for its innovative and pioneering winemaking techniques.

The on-site Restaurante Marqués de Riscal is a Michelin-starred restaurant with sweeping vistas of the nearby medieval town of Elciego that serves traditional regional Basque cuisine paired with complimentary wines. In keeping with the wine vineyard theme, hotel guests also can book treatments like the Merlot Wrap or the Crushed Cabernet Scrub at the Spa Vinotherapie Marqués de Riscal.

CHATEAU CHANTAL WINERY AND INN Traverse City,, Michigan

Built by a former nun and priest who both left the church to wed, the Chateau Chantal Winery and Inn sits on a 65-acre estate and offers sweeping panoramic views of Traverse Bay. Just 12 miles north of Traverse City, the bed and breakfast was modeled after a traditional French chateau. The hotel features 11 rooms individually decorated in a French country style with bay views, a private balcony, a tiled shower and a whirlpool tub. Chantal is an official American Viticultural Area (AVA), one of just four in Michigan. Guests can take a cellar tour or book a special chef-prepared sevencourse meal paired with select wines. The onsite winery is renowned for its late-harvest Riesling and Cherry Eau de Vie. The owners also harvest grapes and make wine from a 55-acre vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina. Hotel guests can participate in a private winery tour every morning and are also given 24-hour access to the tasting room.

Entre Cielos is home to 16 rooms. The most striking is the Vineyard Loft that sits on stilts, where you can literally sleep in the vineyard. Guests who book this special space enjoy a queen-size bed, an outdoor Jacuzzi on the balcony, a flat panel TV and a Nespresso machine. The Bacchus includes a grape seed exfoliation, a wine bath, body treatment and grape extract facial, followed by a 50-minute oil massage.

When guests aren’t resting, they can relax at the hotel’s spa, the ” first traditional hammam and spa in Latin America, with a steam room and pool..”

BLUE ZONES Longevity is in the Water in These Communities in the World’s Blue Zones

Photo by Dan McLain

By Dena Roché

What do Ilkaria, Greece; Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; Okinawa, Japan and Nicoya, Costa Rica have in common? They are the five areas of the planet where a high portion of the population lives to 100 or more.

Dubbed “The Blue Zones” by National Geographic researcher Dan Buettner, these places may hold the secret to longevity for the rest of us. Buettner, an adventure junkie who holds three Guinness World Records, stumbled upon the concept of Blue Zones when he owned a company that solved ancient mysteries. Fresh off exploring why the Mayan civilization collapsed, he decided to tackle finding the Fountain of Youth. The trail led to Okinawa, which held the longest life expectancy in the world.

Intrigued by what he discovered, Buettner dispatched a team of researchers to parse population data to see if similar areas existed. They found four, and Buettner went off to investigate Blue Zones.

One of his biggest discoveries was that satisfaction and happiness, which influence longevity, had nothing to do with money, status or possessions—it was all about simple things like a conversation with a friend, doing work by hand and enjoying simple food.

“Being in a good, happy partnership lowers mortality by 50 percent,” Buettner said.

By far the most powerful thing you can do to live longer is to find the right partner and then pour your efforts into that relationship instead of fad diets and Crossfit. ”

Another key factor to longevity is rooted in relationships with our community and friends. All Blue Zones have populations that have strong ties to a faith-based or spiritual community and a focus on socialization.

Additionally, the minute the standard American diet becomes prevalent in a population, longevity decreases. According to Buettner, our typical way of eating knocks six to eight years off our lives. Instead, Blue Zones use nutrition for longevity.

Regardless of what plant-based food floats your fancy, the perfect nutrition pairing for longevity is with one or two glasses of wine. Most Blue Zone populations consume a moderate amount of wine daily.

The culture within Blue Zones also has built-in stress busters. Okinawans take a few moments each day to remember their ancestors, Adventists pray, Ikarians take a nap and Sardinians do happy hour. Find what relaxes you, whether it’s yoga, meditation or a bubble bath. Now do more of it.

“According to a Gallup survey, 70 percent of us don’t find our purpose in our jobs,” Buettner explained. “But now, many of us have a chance to reassess what we were doing if we lost a job. The economy will recover. Now is the time to determine what job does speak to your heart and could help you live your purpose.”

Another epiphany Buettner had while studying the Blue Zones was that the people in these areas don’t have a better understanding of aging or more discipline than the rest of us—their culture and lifestyle simply promote wellness.

A lifestyle that encourages longevity is one where we aren’t sitting in front of a computer eight hours a day, nor is it one where the only exercise we get is running on a treadmill at a gym. What people in the Blue Zones had in common was that their lives encouraged movement naturally, not with burning calories the primary goal.

The more you can naturally add movement into your day, the better. Walk to your coffee shop, play with your kids, or go on a hike with a friend. While there is no literal Fountain of Youth, it just might exist after all if you embrace the Blue Zone lifestyle.

Beautiful Find Transform Your Home and Connect to Nature Through Design

Roderick Wyllie and his award-winning practice Surfacedesign create private gardens that cultivate a sense of connection to the built and natural world and push people to engage with the landscape in new ways.

A strong connection to the natural environment enhances emotional well-being and alleviates feelings of social isolation, in addition to increasing cognitive performance and well-being.

“People are really wanting to make sure that the garden is totally integrated with their living environment because they’re at home, and I don’t see that going away. It feels like the work environment might morph a little bit to allow people to be at home more, which then means that things really need to be maximized,” Wyllie said.

“Let’s say people are working two or three days a week at home. Well, those two or three days, being able to get out or have a phone conversation outside during that day is pretty important.”

We strongly believe that people should look outside in order to reap the internal benefits. There are plenty of sources of inspiration for taking a leap into the realm of garden design. Why not start now?

In the words of Frank Lloyd Wright: “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”

THE

UNRIVALED DESIGN.

At BMW we believe bold design should be transformative.

That’s why we set out to engineer an unforgivingly bold vehicle crafted with elegant lines, aerodynamic curves and a surprisingly spacious interior that set a new standard for what a sophisticated coupe should be.

We proudly present the BMW 4 Series Coupe. With best-in-segment driving dynamics, attention-grabbing style and adrenaline-inducing power, it’s a not-so-subtle reminder that greatness favors the bold.
