WHEN ONE CONTEMPLATES GREAT DESIGN, THEMES EMERGE. IT MIGHT BE EXPECTED THAT THESE WOULD BE AESTHETIC PRINCIPLES, AN EXPERT’S EXPERIENCE OR EDUCATION, OR THE HOMEOWNER’S LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT.

This is rarely exemplified so well as in the relationship between interior designer and paint contractor. After the style whiz selects the perfect palette to complement architecture, building materials, furnishings and accessories, those talented with a brush bring it to fruition with deft hands and a deeply rooted understanding of application techniques, product composition, layering and more. When interior designer and paint contractor meet in the middle, a true marriage of art and science is at work. In this special section presented in partnership with Benjamin Moore, 10 such dynamic duos showcase the perspectives, craftsmanship and love for hue and tone that they pour into every project. Introducing, the Faces of Design.

CERTAINLY, THOSE FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN ANY PROJECT. BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT, SO OFTEN, THE MARKER OF IMPACTFUL DESIGN IS AN ALL-IMPORTANT, BEHIND-THE-SCENES INGREDIENT: COLLABORATION.

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E

Sarah: We believe that walls are our canvas and backdrop to life and art—the quality of the painting is important. So, we like to work with level-five finishes a lot. Early on in our firm, Enrique executed that with fantastic attention to detail and dedication to craft. We have worked together for the 20 years since! Describe the impact of paint on interiors.

How did you three come to work together?

Enrique: Paint can give everything a rhythmic look by connecting many aspects of the project, creating intimacy or openness across spaces. Paint a picture of the design journey and the role you play within it. Luis: We try to see things from the perspective of the design team, making their vision beautiful with color and craftsmanship. rowlandbroughton.com, forrestpaintingcolorado.com

SILVER SPRING, MD IANTHA CARLEY + JAMES LACKFORD

“People often try to identify what creates that ce rtain sense of elegance and luxury in their favorite spaces. It’s the paint and finishes.”

When clients expect close to perfection, smoothing the behind-the-scenes processes is key. Enter, designer Iantha Carley and paint expert James Lackford. The husbandand-wife team has built a gorgeous portfolio, with Iantha contributing the eye for color and James keeping upto-date on products and techniques. And while Iantha’s attention to detail is most immediately noticed in a completed space, James plays that role too. “Putting the paint on is the easy part. The prep takes the most time. One of my best guys goes out at night with a bare bulb and circles everything he finds wrong on the surface.” ianthainteriors.com, properpaintandpaper.com

IANTHA CARLEY ASPEN, CO SARAH BROUGHTON + ENRIQUE AND LUIS PENA

Asked to share the story of her collaboration with paint craftsman Rye Nazarian, designer Emilie Munroe says, “There is no lack of stories to share over a glass of wine!” Indeed, from executing an entire project during a client’s two-week vacation to perfecting the boldest of hues (an Emilie signature), the duo is always up to a challenge. Rye speaks to one he often undertakes: “There is this ‘freshly fallen snow look’ people are often seeking. We do it by using 18-inch rollers and a sprayer loaded with Benjamin Moore Regal in a dead flat finish on the ceiling.” studiomunroe.com, surfacepaintdesign.com

NEW YORK CITY, NY

In historic, iconic spaces, selecting paint can be daunting. Every hue should be perfectly attuned to the design, worthy of the home’s precedence, elegant yet ahead of the trends. Such is the challenge that often faces Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson. Beloved for their balance of timelessness and today, the designers embrace the art of “repolishing” interiors in buildings like One57 and Herzog & de Meuron’s 56 Leonard. And behind the scenes, one partner has played a key role. Jonathan Kutzin met the design duo when they collaborated at a Kips Bay Decorators Show House in 2008. The rest is a history of perfect pairing. “I work almost exclusively with the design community to deliver top quality in high-end environments,” Jonathan shares. “I have developed many unique specialty finishes, including one that incorporates eyeshadow into the medium and others with mica flakes and iron oxides.” With this innovative mindset, he creates capsule collections of samples for each of Jamie and Caleb’s illustrious projects. As for the team’s favorite formula, Jamie says, “Benjamin Moore AURA®’s quality makes it our go-to pick.” drakeanderson.com, americapainting.nyc “Paint can be the star or supporting role. I like when we use it to surprise or ‘wink’ at you—a bright orange peeking at you from the back of a bookcase.”

AUSTIN, TX SARA MALEK BARNEY + LISA AND PETER MOON

Upon being asked to describe the impact paint has on an interior, Lisa Moon says, “Use of light, use of color and good space planning are the essence of great design. If any of these is not executed well, the environment falls flat or, worse, feels ‘off.’” It’s this level of insight that has made Lisa, her husband Peter and their team at Paper Moon Painting invaluable resources for Sara Malek Barney, the founder and principal at BANDD/DESIGN. She chimes in, “We believe that everyone deserves to live, work and experience life in an aesthetically pleasing space, and having true craftspeople applying paint of the quality Benjamin Moore provides is key to creating that.” As is the breadth of selection. “Benjamin Moore does an excellent job of curating rich, lovely colors, plus providing the greatest selection of whites and off-whites in various undertones,” Lisa says. “They always seem to land on the perfect amount of saturation, ensuring brilliant hues never look like Crayola colors on the wall.” Peter adds his application tip for those bright shades: “Use a gray primer under reds and blues to avoid multiple coats.” bandddesign.com, papermoonpainting.com

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E

Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled painting contractor? Timothy: Our projects tend to have beautiful architectural details, wood paneling and plasterwork, which require specialty painting. We also work on historic homes where an understanding of preservation is key.

LOS ANGELES, CA TIMOTHY CORRIGAN + BILL SUPLEE

How do the feature benefits of a paint product influence your specification? Bill: We love Benjamin Moore’s SCUFF-X® for families because it is washable and scrubbable. Low or no-odor formulas like Eco Spec® are desirable for health-conscious clients and those with young children. I also recommend semigloss and eggshell finishes for kitchens and baths, but flat ones for ceilings and matte for walls. Which colors inspire you the most? Timothy: I am most influenced by the vibrant, saturated colors used in mid-18th-century French design. I like warm shades versus cooler ones in any color, because they make a space feel welcoming. timothy-corrigan.com, pinkpainter.net

Chad: Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select Matte is a favorite because it has a very subtle sheen but is almost flat. The way it toys with light gives a home a lovely glow. It can also be scrubbed clean without damage. paladinorudd.com, irawalden.com

TRACY MORRIS

MCLEAN, VA TRACY MORRIS + GEORGE FRITZ

tracymorrisdesign.com, horizonbuildersinc.net

Why is your collaborative relationship critical to a project’s success? Allison: It broadens how creative you can be. Recently, we wanted to bleach a mahogany ceiling in an outdoor space and then apply a beige stain to cut the green hue and create a soft shade. It would be challenging, but Chad accomplished it in one try. He is a master of subtle texture! Describe the impact of paint on interiors. Zita: We’ve been doing a lot of transitional spaces where the walls, moldings and ceilings are the same color but varying finishes. This becomes a clean and serene envelope perfect for showcasing art, which exemplifies the influence paint has on our designs. What role does paint sheen/finish play?

“ The design journey is a bit of a relay race where we continuously pass the baton back and forth , supporting each other at each stage.”

A warm taupe, a deep blueberry, a soft blush—out of all the colors under the sun, these three, Tracy Morris says, will always captivate her. The interior designer has a deep appreciation for color’s role in her creations, and construction and paint expert George Fritz has a passion for exceptional paint application. “Paint can transform a ‘blah’ space into something spectacular,” Tracy says. George adds, “And selecting the right paint can make the difference between an easy project and happy client or an extended project and miserable client.” Perhaps it’s no wonder these two have been a dream project team for almost a decade.

What is your all-time favorite Benjamin Moore product?

WESTCHESTER, NY

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E

Exactitude and craftsmanship, vision and inspiration —these are the elements that come together in the partnership of Joan Craig and Steve Hester. The designer and painting pro, and their respective teams, have made an art form out of collaboration for more than a decade. Joan knows that color transforms a space, and Steve’s 70-plus skilled painters take the utmost pride in their work. “We want to give our customers a finished product that will last for years to come,” Steve says. And they do, by helping designers like Joan select the perfect formula and finish before applying it beautifully. craigandco.com, hesterdecorating.com “ Th e final paint coats impact the big picture. If they aren’t perfect, every other effort and vision is diminished.”

Peter: We went to college together and ultimately found ourselves in the same industry 20 years later. Share your tips for paint selection. Everick: For a modern feel, Lisa and I like to specify our signature look, which includes painting the trim, doors and baseboard the same color as the wall in a satin or matte finish. In rooms where the ceilings are 8 feet tall or shorter, we choose white or lighter colors in flat finishes to create the illusion of a taller space.

Peter: Believe it or not, AURA® in a basic white. Simply put, it works the best for trim, and this is an area that often gets overlooked. Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled interior designer? Peter: If the client loves their color selections, they’ll be happy with our work and vice versa. We make the colors look their best, but it’s all about the color for the homeowner. everickbrown.com, certapro.com/westchester CHICAGO, IL JOAN CRAIG + STEVE HESTER

“Use AURA® Bath & Spa matte in the bathroom, especially for deeper colors. I’ve got baths I painted 10-plus years ago that still look new because of this formula.” JAMES LACKFORD “High-gloss ceilings, which have great drama and bounce light off, take a room to heaven.”

GEORGE FRITZ

JAMIE DRAKE “Deep, saturated hues for the win! Life is too short to live in a sea of white. Make a choice and lean in. If you tire of it (you won’t) you can easily repaint.”

TIMOTHY CORRIGAN “ When chosen well, paint can regulate the mood of a room, making a sunny space feel fresh and cool or an area with minimal windows feel cozy and comfortable.”

LISA BROWN “Always determine the best color for a room by painting a 2-by-2-foot foam board and moving it around the space. It should suit in every patch of light.”

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E Advice FROM THE Experts

ALLISON PALADINO “I a m a China White OC-141 fan. We work with a lot of natural materials, and its taupe undertone works amazingly well with wood and stone.”

EMILIE MUNROE “ The level of preparation a surface needs for a perfect application depends on the sheen, and that decision is informed by many factors: lighting, traffic, color and more.” STEVE HESTER “Next to space planning, paint is the most significant effect we can have on an environment.”

At this same museum in January 2015, I stood in front of John Singer Sargent’s Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, a painting I studied in my college art history classes. It has had a profound effect on me as both a design editor and an artist. I have my calendar marked to be back at the Frick in Fall 2023 to view Hendrick’s Steve with an equal measure of exuberant anticipation. Enjoy our art-focused issue.

Art, Now

I recently read that portraits by Barkley L. Hendricks will be featured alongside old masters at The Frick Collection in New York City. Hendricks is the first artist of color to have a solo show at the 87-year-old museum. That an institution presenting European art from the 14th to 19th centuries will be showing work of a contemporary artist whose focus is large-scale portraits of Black Americans—and who was an influential predecessor to the likes of Kehinde Wiley, Amy Sherald, Toyin Ojih Odutola and others—is significant for the art world...and, indeed, for us all.

Expected to open at The Shops of Highland Park in Dallas this year, Coupes Champagne Bar is sure to delight both bubbly and design enthusiasts alike. Says Coeval Studio creative director John Paul Valverde: “The design goal for Coupes was to create a space that celebrates the power of women over time through the influences of classic French architecture, the Art Deco movement and contemporary works of today, in order to create an authentic and exciting luxury experience.” Highlights include bar shelving inspired by the shape of coupes glassware and bead detailing resembling champagne bubbles.

WRITTEN BY PAULETTE PEARSON LAUNCH MARIE FLANIGAN FOR ANNIE SELKE

Houston designer Marie Flanigan and Annie Selke (the beloved founder and visionary behind Dash & Albert rugs and Pine Cone Hill bedding) have teamed up to launch an assortment of 45 handcrafted rugs, exquisite bedding, plush decorative pillows and chic accessories. The collection—available this September—is driven by textures, patterns and colors reminiscent of nature. Earthy neutrals, muted gemstone tones and elegant textiles carry through each and every piece. “I am constantly inspired by my surroundings—so much so that I hand-painted some of the designs, making the patterns one-of-akind,” Flanigan explains. “Some of the pillows were also inspired by antique materials and artworks.” The pair leaned on Selke’s textile and product development know-how, as well as her dedication to quality and her keen merchandising eye, to help bring Flanigan’s unique vision to life. “As a trained architect, Marie is a master of proportion and balance,” Selke muses. “She has created a signature look that is classic and modern, elevated and calm, all at the same time. And her attention to detail is extraordinary—not fussy, just fabulous!” In particular, the collection’s bedding and rugs—including several made-to-measure designs like the Afton, Elkins, Mina and Talus—reflect Flanigan’s penchant for sophistication, functionality approachability and versatility. No doubt we’ll be seeing many of these pieces showcased in Flanigan’s future projects and beyond. “This collection is truly a dream and accurately reflects my design aesthetic paired with the quality and meticulousness that Annie Selke is known for,” the designer says. annieselke.com

OPEN HOUSE SHOPS + SHOWROOMS Austin is now home to a two-story Hermès boutique (above), designed by Parisian architecture agency RDAI, which blends Southwestern urbanism with French savoir faire. Think raffia walls, graphic dune-colored carpets and contemporary photographs by Terri Weifenbach. And, at the heart of the space: a warm-gray terrazzo ramp with amber accents inspired by skate parks. Elsewhere in Austin, designer Laura Pankonien opened the utterly charming Bleu by TPG , where you’ll find curated home accessories, lighting, custom pillows, original art and kitchenware items, plus rare antique and vintage pieces. Further afield, Houston mainstay M.Naeve (below) has added a host of exclusive home decor lines to its oeuvre, all handpicked by founder Margaret Naeve Parker. True to form, selections from lines like Materia and Madda Studio possess a core feeling of quality and purpose. Meanwhile, Houston designer Jill Egan of Jill Egan Interiors has set up shop in Rice Village. Her gallery-like space not only serves as a client meeting locale and laboratory for developing and selling Egan’s own custom furnishings and accessories, but also showcases globally sourced open house photos: top, frank oudeman, courtesy hermès; bottom, pär bengtsson. first look photo: kara marie collective. don’t miss photo: gordon parks, untitled, los angeles, california, 1966 printed 2022 , courtesy © the gordon parks foundation.

On view at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), from October 16 until January 16, “Gordon Parks: Stokely Carmichael and Black Power” is a celebration of the photographer’s unique ability to capture a balanced, multifaceted profile of Carmichael, who was a prominent civil rights activist. Parks’ 1967 Life magazine essay, “Whip of Black Power,” recounts his travels with Carmichael from fall 1966 until the following spring. While the publication contained only five photographs, the exhibition presents 53 of Parks’ images from that period of time—all selected by MFAH associate curator of photography, Lisa Volpe, in consultation with The Gordon Parks Foundation. mfah.org

Designers Jamie Williams and Michael Brown—based in Austin and Dallas, respectively—have joined forces to unveil Elysian Collective. After years of exploring the world together and admiring makers across Europe, South America and Asia, they decided to channel their mutual love of contemporary design and exceptional quality into a gallery devoted to extraordinary objects and their stories. And so, Elysian Collective was born, offering a unique assortment of one-of-a-kind textiles, rugs, art, and decorative and functional objects by emerging artists. “It’s the culmination of our discoveries as we continue to expand our work with innovative designers and makers near and far,” says Williams. The word “elysian” refers to blissful peace, paradise and delight, and “this is a state we wish to embody and create with every interaction,” adds Brown. elysian-collective.com

BESPOKE SPACES A TRIO OF CUSTOM JEWEL-BOX DESIGNS EMBODIES THE VIBRANT STYLES OF THESE DALLAS DESIGNERS.

That legendary saying, “If you build it, they will come,” is something designer Kara Adam of Kara Adam Interiors kept top of mind for this sunny Dallas closet. “She wanted it to be a space where all the girls could end up during a party that wasn’t a white box,” Adam says of her client. As a first step, the designer measured the amount of space the homeowner would need for every type of item she had, before adding a touch of more storage so she could continue to collect, “aka shop,”

First impressions are everything. Just ask Dallas designer Holly Hickey Moore of Holly Hickey Moore Interior Design, who dressed this entryway for success. “Entries should always feel welcoming and naturally lead you into the rest of the interiors,” she says. “I also like to get more daring here because it’s a pass-through space. You are not hanging out in it all day long, so why n ot go bold and tease guests with the edgier side of your personality?” A bold, hand-painted mural by artist Nikki Stinson gets the conversation started, with swirls of Benjamin Moore’s Black bleeding from the walls over the crown, trim and baseboards. A custom console fabricated by Martin & Brockett, Made Goods mirror, Stray Dog Designs sconce and rug from Nomads Loom round out the fetching scene. hollyhickeymoore.com

ABBE FENIMORE For a home office with main character energy, Dallas homeowners turned to designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25. “I love the mix of bold modern color, traditional accents and statement lighting,” Fenimore says. “It’s happy yet sophisticated, and since the space is visible from the formal sitting room, it has the ‘wow’ factor my client was after.” Working with Mark Clifton Homes, she punched an opening into a wall to connect the space with adjacent rooms while allowing for more natural light. Custom built-in bookshelves painted Sherwin-Williams’ Coral Island were also installed, providing much-needed storage space and enabling the client to display her large majolica collection in style. “We used the coral color throughout the home in art, pillows and accessories to create a cohesive color palette,” Fenimore notes. studioten25.com

Adam laughs. From there, the fun really began with Christian Lacroix wallpaper on the ceiling, a graphic rug from Interior Resources and a Julie Neill chandelier hung above a Blue C eleste marble island countertop. karaadaminteriors.com

When it came time for Beni Rugs to open a brick-and-mortar outpost, the standard-issue gallery didn’t feel right. So, co-founder Robert Wright opted to do what a rare but emerging coterie of brands have embraced: roll out the welcome mat for clients in a place that would typically have one in the first place. An actual home. In 2018, the then digital-only company got its start by allowing people to fully customize Moroccan rugs. But a few years later, the time had come to expand to a physical location. “We wanted it to feel like you’re coming over to your friend’s apartment....and oh, by the way, on the floor are rugs from our newest collection,” Wright explains. “It was a fun exercise to think: ‘Well, why don’t we come up with an apartment in New York that’s the home of our ideal Beni consumer?’” They imagined everything from this fictitious client’s art collection down to the trinkets brought home from their travels. Thus, their new appointment-only Greenwich Village studio in a circa 1900 brownstone on West 9th Street in Manhattan was born. Other brands embracing the idea that style begins at home include Casa Perfect, Lee Broom, Gabriel & Guillaume and Galerie Philia (the latter of which opened its latest traveling showroom inside a $10 million Chelsea apartment). “We wanted to show that you can not only live with these historical pieces, but also mix them in a very casual way,” says Guillaume Excoffier, co-founder (with Nancy Gabriel) of Gabriel & Guillaume, which procures everything from Martin Szekely’s 1988 Betty armchairs to a 1950 Italian sofa by Federico Munari. The gallery, featuring rotating exhibitions, is currently ensconced in an appointment-only, twostory residence at 11 West 57th Street in New York City. “We have created a new kind of retail experience—something more exclusive, something more private— like entering into the apartment of a collector,” Gabriel says. It’s no surprise then that companies are seeing this model resonate with consumers, as navigating the sometimes-arduous task of making design choices now seems much easier in a familiar setting.

LADIES & GENTLEMEN STUDIO

“Iconic Shaker pieces, like chairs and boxes, have always had a pull on us as designers,” explains Ladies & Gentlemen Studio’s Dylan Davis, adding that working with the museum has “been an amazing opportunity to do a deeper dive into their culture.” Davis, who founded his multidisciplinary Brooklyn studio in 2010 with wife Jean Lee, believes historical principles of Shakerism can change how we look at contemporary life. For example, they reimagined one of the Shakers’ most intentionally designed furnishings that centers around a closely held belief: the workstation. The pair’s secretary-style iteration features just the right amount of room for everyday items while allowing them to be concealed at the end of the day ladiesandgentlemenstudio.com

JOLIE NGO As the youngest member of the museum’s Makers’ Circle, recent art school graduate Jolie Ngo creates ceramic ‘cyborg-like’ objects and vessels using modern technologies, including 3-D printing and rapid prototyping. A child of the early aughts, her aesthetic was shaped by digital interfaces including Minecraft and The Sims, and she continues to explore the intersection between handmade and automated. “Shaker work is quite the opposite of my own with a focus on simplicity and purpose,” Ngo says. “Their objects lack unnecessary ornamentation and decorative detail.” But, nonetheless, she has come to appreciate this ethos of making. “They believed that mastery of craft was a partnership with tools, materials and process—an idea I hold close within my own work, continuously probing the synergy between what is formed by hand versus technology.” ngojolie.net

A preview of the new museum, which includes an outdoor amphitheater.

Today, the Shaker Museum in Chatham, New York, continues to tell their story, showcasing the most comprehensive collection of art, furniture, objects and materials in the country—much of which was out of view for the last decade. The museum will soon enter a new iteration, and double in size, as it moves to a 19th-century industrial building within Colombia County, where Selldorf Architects and Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects are heading up interior and exterior renovations respectively. An inaugural Makers’ Circle, consisting of contemporary artists and designers, is collaborating with the museum’s leadership on institutional decisions. As executive director Lacy Schutz notes, “the Shaker Museum continues to convene and engage a community of creatives connected to its material culture and whose work is informed by it today.” shakermuseum.us

On the Move

As a direct response to a bonnet and cloak she found in the archives, the trail blazing artist created a whimsical chair out of muslin layered with ruffles and ruching. Stout describes the final result as “a silly, frilly duo of cloaked and bonnet-ed chairs joined in a permanent Shaker dance.”

KATIE STOUT When going through the Shaker Museum’s collection, Katie Stout was drawn to colorful, sweet and soft objects— in other words, not the iconic pieces noted for minimalism.

A HISTORICAL RENOVATION IS IN THE WORKS AT THE SHAKER MUSEUM.

And while the contemporary artist is drawn to the group’s “resourcefulness, simple solutions and entrepreneurial genius” she is also interested in the predominance of female makers and the role women played in propelling 19th century craft forward. katiestout.com

Arriving in the United States around 1774, the Shakers were a Utopian sect who created a distinctly new design vernacular. Prioritizing function above all else, they favored simple, pared-down aesthetics that allowed an object’s materiality to shine. The group was also known for championing gender and racial equality, communal living and sustainability. At their peak in the 1900s, thousands of members resided throughout the Northeast, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.

Incredible Homes... Have Excellent Windows, Doors and Mouldings

A Richardsonian Romanesque Architectural Design is rare…there are few that exist within the USA.

Fewer that are done well. There are none like The Lodge in Hunters Creek… The Lodge in Hunters Creek sits on a coveted, private, secluded incredible nine acres in the heart of Houston’s wealthiest zip code. An economy fueled by the energy business and a myriad of cultures. Sports teams, real estate and political force all underpinned historically by Oil & Gas. There is a conflux of quiet seasoned wealth and now new money, via a variety of entrepreneurial industry sectors such as renewables, entertainment and technology. Set within the acclaimed Hunters Creek Village, the elevated estate is surrounded by a moat on three sides; a horseshoe bend of the 18,000-year-old legendary Buffalo Bayou (The Lodge in Hunters Creek is one of few estates sustaining zero problems in the recent floods) It is also buffered by the expansive green space of the Houston Country Club and all of it, takes in the vibrant Houston skyline. Accessed only via a secured gate of a private cul de sac, the secluded, mysterious and dramatic estate resembles a stately presence more akin to a fortified French chateau or English castle likewise surrounded by moats and incredible grounds. Like any centuries old estate, the property exudes a quiet, patient and impressive grandeur. A true and timeless presence honed through an impeccable and careful mix and seamless grafts of limestone, steel and concrete. The result is an efficient, modern and very private entertainer’s home and a fortified masterpiece, which is designed and built to last for hundreds of years to come.

So, while work was temporarily delayed, the owner took off on a year-long European sojourn with two antique and interior design experts on a substantial buying tour across Europe. Antiques and architecturals includ ed and incorporated into the design build came from (to name a few): Paris, Marche aux Puces de Paris Saint- Ocen 1870, stores across Germany, Medussa in Belgium, and Heist op-den Berg outside of Antwerp, across Holland as well as throughout En gland, including the Cotswolds. Except for a single custom built walk in fireplace, four of five equisite mantels came from European castles and manor houses. Privacy and security amenities are many… Intricate and impeccable details, finishes and technologies are incredible, while oldworld class architecturals are far too many to list. It is intentionally and distinctly, a One of One! “As an architect doing work for over 35 years across the United States and in several other countries around the world, I will tell you that this estate in Houston, Texas is one of the most extraordinary houses anyone may ever see” -- Ken Newberry. Listed for $60 Million

The owner wanted old, hand-crafted, hand cut stone. “Like that used in the university buildings of New York and Chicago, like the Empire State Building, the Vanderbilt and Wrigley estates and other world landmarks, such as the Pentagon.” Indeed, that is precisely what they got! The US Government came calling and for a period, halting the estates construction after the terrorist attack on the Pentagon in 2001. They needed all available limestone from the quarry and diverted all production to rebuild. The estate had to wait…

The Lodge in Hunters Creek is an architectural, design and builder/construction marvel that has long been the subject of community mystery and enviable comment. The interior of the home has never been shown nor open to the public (and won’t be). It has not ever been for sale until now. Listed for $60 Million, it is the highest priced residential listing in Texas. Exclusively by Icon Global The estate exudes privacy, charm, serenity, security and prominence. It carries an understated elegance and simplicity yet is sophisticated in its design and intentions of use and comfort. It is riddled with high tech, security functions, incredible one of a kind custom / handmade finishes, architectural details with amenities ahead of its time; all the while remaining timeless. Six years in construction, and completed in 2005, the 22,000 SQFT masterpiece is complemented by a separate 3,500 SQFT guest home, complete with its own spacious private, 5-acre grounds. Once the site of Houston’s original hunting lodge and even a fabled exotic birdcage folly, the lodge site itself is rife with its own legacy including being a favored es-cape for Houstonian rebel youth of that era. A hideout, sans adult supervision!

The accomplishment began with architect, Ken Newberry, and a submersion into what would become a carefully choreographed abyss of ideas brought to life by Newberry’s pencil and perfected by builder, Jeff Thompson, and construction supervisor extraordinaire, Mike Timmons. The cornerstone to the owners dream would be utilizing authentic Indiana limestone construction. Original machine cut blocks, a minimum of 12” thick (no veneers) were crafted by none other than the renowned Bybee quarries from her native state. (These authentic limestone blocks also breath and capture efficiently circulated radiant energy throughout, ensuring a cool home and low energy bills in the summer and high heat retention in the winter).

And now, it’s entering a new chapter … “Through a brand refresh and novel product offerings, our goal is to continue to promote a lifestyle-centric perspective and emphasize how stone can play a key role in creating spaces where memories are made and design influences the everyday moments of life,” says Sarah Lograsso, Eldorado Stone’s director of marketing and product design. “We want to help people curate the perfect backdrop for every space.”

– Kerrie Kelly of Kerrie Kelly Design Lab, an Eldorado Stone Design Partner Left The unique colorway and texture of Latigo TundraBrick® adds a dash of rustic allure in the kitchen as a bold “bricksplash.”

THE START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL™ “With respect to new product development, we look carefully at the inﬂuence of people’s lifestyles on architecture and design, and how the comprehensive purpose of everyday environments will impact those who inhabit them in a very practical way,” Lograsso says. “We look to where a client chooses to spend time and what draws them into that space. Is it a tranquil and serene retreat for unwinding at the end of the day? Or is it the hustle and bustle of a lively kitchen for family gatherings? Perhaps a curated display of adventures traveled? Any of those elements can spark inspiration and play an integral role in shaping beautiful spaces.”

For their freshman debut, The High Key’s Relief collection explores curvaceous shapes as is evident in the Glove Couch. Founder and creative director John Vieweg first designs pieces using 3D software, after which a network of manufacturers build the designs to exact renderings. Vieweg contemplated the idea of ‘relief’ throughout the design process: from the physical relief of sitting on a sofa, to the way in which reliefs were historically made by carving away at materials—a method employed on the sofa’s interior foam body to achieve its final construction. thehighkey.design

It’s important to keep the work areas off limits to children and pets for their safety; however, you may have a little extra dust and dirt in your house, so keeping the work area off limits will avoid them tracking the dust to other parts of the house.

4 | Should I plan more money than the contract price? Additional work or a change in the project requested by the remodeling homeowner usually requires a contract price change. Planning for the unforeseen is wise, though, so putting aside an extra 10% over the contract price makes for a less stressful remodel.

While conventional wisdom dictates getting three estimates for anything involving labor, this doesn’t necessarily hold true when it comes to comprehensive remodeling projects such as a kitchen, bathroom, addition, or whole house remodel. The real comparison is in the team you will be working with. Chemistry and trust are key! NARI recommends that you interview at least three remodelers and then select the one you feel most comfortable with to bid out your project. This is because there are multiple ways of tackling a project and, unless you know exactly which methods and/or the subs the contractor will be using, there is no way to get an apples-to-apples comparison.

6 | What is the time frame for starting the project? Now is the time to ask questions about work schedules. You should ask: What is your estimate for completion? How early will your crew normally begin work? When will they normally quit for the day? Will I be contacted about delays or changes in the schedule? By whom?

THE RIGHT RESOURCE FOR YOUR Next Remodeling Project NARI stands for “National Association of the Remodeling Industry” and is the only professional association dedicated solely to the remodeling industry.

7 | Do you have design services available? If you are considering a large or involved project, you will need design services. If the contractor does not have design-build capabilities, you should consider hiring an architect and/or designer. Depending on the size and scope of the project, you may also need a structural engineer.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is the only independent national association dedicated solely to the remodeling industry. Austin NARI’s goal is to help homeowners ﬁnd the right professional partners to execute their remodel project. Austin NARI wants each homeowner to get the maximum value and enjoyment for the dollars they invest in their remodel and to avoid the pitfalls so many make when hiring ill-equipped contractors. Ask your remodeling contractor if their company is a member of Austin NARI.

Bold Moves FROM EYE-CATCHING COLORS TO A MÉLANGE OF PATTERNS, TODAY’S KITCHENS AND BATHS PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS. BY ALYSSA BIRD

Drake/Anderson filled this Manhattan kitchen with striking touches, like custom cabinetry in Benjamin Moore’s Vermont Slate, Oyster White marble countertops, Mondrian-esque stone flooring, artwork by Melinda Hackett and an Apparatus light fixture.

Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson, the design duo behind Drake/Anderson, are known for their stylish schemes and a penchant for producing luxurious, impactful spaces. So, when their clients—a couple who had just purchased an apartment in a new Manhattan building—wanted to gut their kitchen in favor of injecting some personality and color, the designers were more than happy to oblige. “We landed on a beautiful blue for the cabinetry, which looks rich, sophisticated and playful,” Anderson says of the chosen hue: Benjamin Moore’s Vermont Slate. The painted custom cabinetry also cam ouflages all appliances and even houses a semi-walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. “The color was the biggest point of departure, and the marble came second,” Anderson continues. “The client loves interesting stones, and this room has three! The Oyster White marble on the countertops and backsplash is highly gestured with organic veining, while the White Thassos and Blue de Savoie marbles on the floor are laid in a geometric Mondrian-style pattern but they all marry together wonderfully.” Another focal point is the plush L-shape banquette, which is built into the back of the peninsula, saving valuable square footage and giving the room a nice sense of movement. This informal dining nook is visually connected to the prep area with a large lighting piece from Apparatus overhead while artwork by Melinda Hackett enlivens the entire space. “This kitchen isn’t huge,” Anderson says, “but it certainly feels dynamic.” drakeanderson.com

To satiate the same client’s love of color and Bisazza tile, Drake/Anderson enveloped a powder bath located off the office in a mesmerizing gradient mosaic. “The upper half almost recalls windows in a skyscraper,” Jamie Drake says. Since the design of the adjacent workspace is fun and whimsical, the same feeling was carried into the bathroom with a playful all-over tile arrangement. Drake notes that, “the clean, contemporary floating vanity doesn’t compete with the surroundings, but its curved shape adds another layer of visual interest.” A benefit of sheathing every surface in tile? “It melts the perimeters of the room, making it appear larger,” Drake explains. drakeanderson.com

In this Upper West Side bath designed by Drake/Anderson, a custom vanity topped with Calacatta Turquoise marble complements Bisazza mosaic tiles. Sconces from Circa Lighting flank a mirror from Mirror Home.

For his third collaboration with Ann Sacks, designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard embraced his love of historic fabrics. The new Eutopia line of glass mosaics features ﬁve botanical patterns—three of which are based on wallcovering motifs previously conceived by Bullard, including Sultan’s Garden (shown)—in 49 custom shades. “This collection was born out of my passion for East-Indian and Middle-European textiles,” Bullard says, “which often contain magical patterns depicting the Tree of Life and Mughal ﬂowers.” annsacks.com HEADSHOT: COURTESY DESIGNER.

The only mandate was to incorporate blue, so we gave this bath a ‘wow’ factor using many shades of the vibrant hue. I really enjoy creating one-of-a-kind powder rooms—they are truly the best space to do something out of the ordinary. Talk to us about the brass accents. We carried the subtle gold shimmer in the wallpaper through to the modern brushed-brass Kohler sink ﬁ xtures. Lucky for us, the client already had the metallic mirror from her previous home, and it worked perfectly with the round sconce from Arteriors.

What an interesting vanity! The custom L-shape vanity was purely an aesthetic choice. The client didn’t have a need for storage below, which allowed us to do something a bit di erent with the design. For the wallpaper installation, we mimicked the form of the vanity and extended it from one accent wall up to the ceiling. shannonmurrayinteriors.com

What did the client want for this powder room?

For a residence in Rye, New York, designer Shannon Murray Petruzello of Shannon Murray Interiors envisioned a glamorous powder room inspired by her client’s favorite color. “This home was originally built in the 1980s, so we did a full renovation of the ﬁrst ﬂoor— including this existing powder room—in order to modernize it for a young family,” explains Murray Petruzello, who paired a cool marbleized wallpaper by Schumacher with Benjamin Moore’s Cable Knit Sweater on the remaining walls.

Making headlines: The art world is bonkers right now with long waiting lists for new works, sold-out shows and record-breaking auction prices. See: Louise Bourgeois’ Spider sold for $40 million at Art Basel and Andy Warhol’s Marilyn sold last May for $195 million, breaking auction records for an American artist. Looking forward: Amanda Baldwin’s vibrant landscapes are on my radar. I’m excited about her upcoming show at Hesse Flatow in New York City. Hot spot: Berlin has amazing contemporary galleries like Soy Capitán and Wentrup. Sunday school: In 2019, I began presenting Sunday art history lessons on Instagram Live and developed a sizable following during the pandemic. Topics have ranged from art movements like Dada, to the intellectual explosion that took place at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, to deeper dives into artists like Ruth Asawa. Treasure trove: I find new talent through critical reviews and art fairs like NADA Miami that focus on younger galleries and emerging artists. Highlight reel: Amoako Boafo: Soul of Black Folks at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (on view through early October) is a gorgeous show. The way he approaches portraiture with both spirit and brush, as well as his signature finger painting, is inspiring. Collector’s mantra: Buy what you love. The intrigue and attraction should feel instinctual.

Nightstand companion: Tell Them I Said No by Martin Herbert—a collection of essays by artists, including David Hammons (a hero of mine), who were creating for the purpose of transaction but ultimately retreated from the art world. Unforgettable institution: Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland, which was started by a Swiss dealer couple with an incredible modern art collection. The building was designed by Renzo Piano—it’s very special.

ARTS EVOLUTION

Inspiration fix: One of the realms where truly original ideas are born is science fiction, and that is most of what I recreationally read these days. Ted Chiang and Liu Cixin are authors that I come back to. Arts destination: The vibrancy and creative freedom of Mexico City are rare—there’s always something unexpected. Hot topic: One of the most important subjects being discussed in the world at large, is the essential right to project different realities and possible futures. I’ve seen so many resonances with this idea. One example is the Venice Biennale, titled The Milk of Dreams curated by Cecilia Alemani, which, from specific art history perimeters, questions the agency of imagination. Pièce de résistance: Few things compare to The Lightning Field (1977) by Walter De Maria—a land art work in New Mexico in the Dia’s collection. De Maria used to say that every great artwork should have at least 10 meanings, and the myriad of ideas that can be interconnected to this piece is almost unfathomable. The way in which one experiences it, and what one can obtain from that experience, speaks directly a bout what we do at Dia.

RAINBOW CONNECTION

New currency: With the rise of NFT’s, the art world has even more accessible paths for all. We sell NFT COAs, which allow us to include a contract in the sale encompassing royalties, so that every time the artwork trades, the artist makes 10 percent. This can be life-changing because artists don’t make a percentage of secondary sales, which is where prices often make headlines. Gallery crush: Del Vaz Projects by Jay Ezra Nayssan. Jay operates a galleryfarmstead from his home in Santa Monica. There’s also an apothecary that sells everything from Persian tea to CBD lavender salve. It’s wonderful to see curators bringing a more artful approach to retail and vice-versa. One to watch: Lisa Dengler. We just signed her and are so excited about her paintings and stone sculptures. On deck: Opening our first physical gallery. I want it to be a place that anyone can walk into and find something—almost like a vinyl store.

Life-changing institution: The Noguchi Museum in Queens. It taught me how to sit quietly and take a long look. Coming up: This spring, we’re hosting an event curated by Art Handler. I can’t reveal too much, only that it’s a multi-event experience not to be missed! We’re also slated to have a show by New York City’s Bortolami Gallery featuring Robert Bordo. Design crush: Artist duo Kristen Wentrcek and Andrew Zebulon. I’ve never seen such high level of craft meet fearlessness and yet somehow remain functional. My wife and I own several of their pieces and admire them daily. Fantasy acquisitions: Anything ever made by Carrie Mae Weems! If I could extend the spree, I’d buy a Carlton bookcase by Ettore S ottsass, a Cecily Brown painting, a Sam Moyer sculpture and a large wall piece by this little-known artist named Sol LeWitt. Dreaming big: I’d love to expand this concept, potentially in partnership with institutions. It’s also my hope that my team continue to spearhead consistent public programming that’s accessible to people of every age, color and educational background.

Frustrated by the quality of studio space in New York City, artist Stef Halmos saw an opportunity to develop her dream resource. She set her sights on three historic mills in the Hudson Valley, converting them into Foreland: a vibrant arts campus spanning galleries, studios, collective workspace, public programming and event spaces—all built to create agency for working artists. forelandcatskill.com; stefhalmos.com

GREATER GOOD

Donovan Johnson joined Bill Lowe Gallery 10 years ago, where he gracefully ascended the ranks. Upon the passing of his beloved mentor, for which the gallery is named, last December, Johnson was appointed executive director, tasked with ushering the Atlanta institution into its next chapter. lowegallery.com

On deck: The first show scheduled for next year is called Alchemy and features Black artists from around the United States, including Thornton Dial, Wifredo Lam and Emma Amos. It’s a group show around this idea that in marginalized communities, there’s an innate call to take whatever you have and turn it into something that transcends its first state of being. Virtual reality: During the pandemic, galleries introduced 3-D viewing rooms. This technology had been around too long for us to be suffering from the 2-D aspects of photography! Now anyone can experience sculpture in 3D; you can even see surveys of the Whitney Biennial on YouTube. It’s a beautiful thing about the world we live in. Arresting artist: Ilídio Candja Candja, who was born in Mozambique around the time they won their independence from Portugal. He paints these beautiful abstractions around the influences of colonization. Lasting impression: The exhibition What is Left Unspoken, Love at Atlanta’s High Museum achieved true resonance. Fair game: Atlanta is 49 percent black. Generally speaking, art in the South is so much more diverse than what is currently being seen. Our programming moving forward will be reflective of this.

RISING TIDE

Los Angeles-based advisor Nancy Gamboa specializes in developing private collections of cultural significance. Enhancing this pillar, she founded Botanica Fine Art, a digital initiative that promotes visibility for Latinx artists. nancyagamboa.com; botanica-fine-art.com

Industry buzz: There’s been a lot of talk about works by young artists reaching upwards of six figures privately and at auction. Three factors contributed to this phenomenon: newly-created crypto wealth, which added diverse buyers to the market, trillions in American dollars printed and a lack of primary access to work for new collectors. Fall happenings: September 2 marks the first installment of the Frieze Art Fair in Seoul. I’m excited to see what happens when the art world meets the sophistication of South Korea’s artists, institutions and collectors. Closer to home, the September opening of Hauser & Wirth in West Hollywood will be a treat for Angelenos. Buoyed by: The increased presence of Latinx, AAPI and BIPOC run galleries, including Commonwealth and Council (LA), Regular Normal (NYC), LaPau (LA), Calderón (NYC), Mariane Ibrahim (Chicago), Sow & Tailor (LA), Make Room (LA) and Estrella (NYC). Collecting 101: With so much art in the world, working around themes of identity, geography, medium, or a combination of three, can help focus decision-making while creating depth.

Arete Kitchens was founded in 1999 out of a passion for modern residential design. Their scope now includes custom German-made LEICHT kitchens, bespoke closets and outdoor kitchens. “Design today takes into account the many different aspects of our lives, plus how we interact with our spaces and each other,” says general manager Tom Wilkinson. “Families are spending more time together and entertaining friends at home. Houses are designed with an emphasis on open and engaging spaces that blur the line between indoors and out. The outdoors are pulled in by incorporating features like natural light and earthy tones and materials. The indoors seamlessly flow out into outdoor living and kitchen spaces that act as an extension of the home and are designed in harmony with the home’s interior.”

Today, that includes a focus on sustainability. Brock adds, “Austin homes are being beautifully built with a focus on sustainable materials and changing the way we live. Austinites live where design, function and sustainability intersect.”

“Austin has grown in spurts,” says Brock. “There are neighborhoods full of colonial-style homes, others with tiny bungalows, expensive modern builds, and a few Sears homes thrown in for fun! Eclectic doesn’t even begin to describe the incredible juxtaposition of Austin and the people that live here.” As a result, Artisan projects range from “traditional to modern and everything in between.”

When you’ve been in business for decades, it’s the wide variety of projects that keeps things interesting. Artisan Hardwood Floors was founded by furniture builder Roy K. Flint in the 1960s. In the first year, custom furniture turned into custom-designed parquet patterns and then custom hardwoods for floors, walls and ceilings. Today, it’s the array of projects they tackle that motivates them. Head of marketing Amber Brock says: “Each space we work in offers a chance to try something new. We’ve worked with some of the best architects and designers in the country, and are inspired by so many of our projects. Nicole Blair’s angular architecture with lots of natural light gives us opportunities to do something modern and new! And the historic remodel of Green Pastures (now Mattie’s) with Clayton Korte and Joel Mozersky was a fantastic opportunity to bring an Austin landmark back to life!”

PROGRAM TO PERFECTION Asked to share one of her favorite product options, Norma points to motorized shades. “They can provide a great open look and feel by being programmed to raise prior to the usual times you are in your living areas and, conversely, lower in places like the bedrooms at nighttime. Having shades follow the patterns of those who inhabit the space can help everyone truly enjoy a home or a space as the architect intended.”

“Both Austin and San Antonio are very unique in terms of the rest of the state,” Tracey says. “The food, architecture, people and vibe of these two cities are unlike any other in Texas. Austin is all about ‘keeping it weird’ and maintaining its individual feel, while San Antonio is about staying true to and honoring its deep roots in Mexican American culture. The sister cities complement each other well.”

“Through window treatments, we strive to accentuate— not take away from—Texas’ beautiful views.”

While Texas offers a wide breadth of gorgeous places, there is just something special about Hill Country. With its scenic drives and abundant wildlife, it exudes a charming opportunity to find wonder and delight. This is why Tracey Hopkins and Norma Cataño, both natives of the state but from the west and the panhandle, respectively, set their sights on Austin a little more than 25 years ago. Today, the duo operates Austintatious Blinds and Shutters together out of Bee Cave, and they couldn’t have made a better choice for locale. “The amount of growth and change here and in San Antonio is unprecedented,” Tracey shares. “It’s an exciting time to be involved in the interior design world, specifically in our region.” Norma adds, “There are so many incredible projects that really push the envelope in terms of design. It also keeps our team motivated and excited just to see what we can be a part of.”

CURATING THE MIX

One of the reasons Austin has proven such a perfect spot for Curated is the local sentiment toward old meets new. Gaynor elaborates: “I believe in the Sister Parish quote, ‘Innovation is often the ability to reach into the past and bring back what is good.’ Austinites agree with me. For example, I’ve seen quite a few turn-of-the-century cottages adapted to meet the needs of our modern-day digital lifestyles.” Gaynor says, “I love interiors that blend elements of yesterday and today into something unique.”

“I find that people who move here from other parts of the country seem eager to shed their belongings and start fresh,” Gaynor says. “They often say, ‘This is my Austin house; I want it to look like an Austin house.’ There is definitely a pride of place among everyone who lives here, native or new.”

From viewing San Antonio as a “heart home” throughout her childhood in an always moving military family, to rediscovering Austin with her husband years later and deciding to plant roots there, Lisa B. Gaynor’s Texas story makes her current location seem fated. As does her ownership of Curated Home Furnishings & Fine Jewelry, given the longtime family joke that Gaynor might slip away at any time if a consignment shop was nearby. Her visit to so many shops like her own paid off, because today Gaynor has established Curated to be a new kind of consignment with a approach. “We offer a black-tie concierge-style preview and pickup to our clients who are selling, and they can monitor the progress of their sales via an innovative online portal,” she explains. “Meanwhile, we are developing a wish list function for our shoppers.”

BRING OUTDOORS IN Shelby Van Daley credits the great outdoors and the local area as an ongoing inspiration for the company’s designs. She says: “We love the incredible scenery and lakes that make up this unique city! Any opportunity to highlight the outdoors, we will gladly take advantage of. That might mean removing shutters to bring in more natural light or bringing the outdoors inside with the color palette. We love incorporating natural elements.” “We work with clients to create a beautiful space within their budget and timeline— resulting in a joyful, meaningful home.”

Austin has so much culture and personality!”

Austin design is so multi-faceted when compared to the past, and it has grown so fast that it has expanded in a lot of directions at once. Our firm has received more inquiries than ever, and we are involved in some of the best, most creative projects we’ve ever had!” Having deep roots in a community provides the proper perspective required to understand when there is a shift taking place.

Think about the cities most revered for their architecture and design. What qualities do they share? The answer many would give is that they are trend setters. But in truth, the most ahead-of-thecurve places are the ones where the foremost minds are also willing to break the trends. And that, according to Scott Ruzich, is all Austin. As the president and CEO of Epic Smart Homes, a company rethinking the way technology is integrated into the home, he would know. “Austin has always done things differently, and we embrace the challenges and outside-the-box creative thinking that some projects need from us,” he says. Indeed, equipped with specialized knowledge in products and systems that expand livability—even making the outdoors seamlessly functional— Epic Smart Homes achieves just about anything the client and design team can dream up.

“The Driskell hotel is one of our favorite downtown places to visit and meet up with folks for quick meetings, drinks at the infamous bar and live music,” Ruzich says. “It was built in 1886 and is still one of the finest vintage hotels in Austin.” As for buildings he admires outside of the city’s center, one comes to mind. “One of our favorite modern architects is Miró Rivera Architects. We love the firm’s creation of Residence 1466, also called Willow Beach, in Lake Austin. It is so unique.”

TO THE TUNE Asked to share his favorite local events, Ruzich points to Austin City Limits and SXSW. “Residents and visitors alike look forward to these every year. Austin is a music capital of the world, and these festivals in Zilker Park honor a history and legacy of that place as meaningful to music lovers. We enjoy bringing the sounds of Austin’s music scene into our clients’ homes as well, with luxury sound systems and media room designs.”

A scenic tale of architectural contrasts, with the duality of respect for tradition meets a quest for innovation, and a melting pot of diverse people, from “Keep Austin Weirders” to techies, transplants and everyone in between—this is how Jessica Nelson and Stephanie Lindsey describe the magic of living in Austin. It paints a picture of a city overwhelming with variety, and one can see that in the designers’ work, too. “Staying true to the uniqueness of Austin, we receive requests for many different styles,” Jessica shares. “Of course, there will always be a need for modern and contemporary, but we have assisted clients with Spanish revival and traditional as well.” Indeed, she and Stephanie, along with their design team at Etch Design Group, have built a portfolio of bespoke, ever-individual projects. Up next? Stephanie says, “We’re looking forward to moving into the new office we designed.”

• We value work-life balance, and building strong and lasting relationships.

What else, after all, could a visionary creative like an interior designer be? Jessica shares Etch’s principles for crafting an ideal approach to every project.

ON THE RISE Asked to describe the state of design in Austin, Stephanie says: “It’s on fire. We are excited to continue welcoming companies that are relocating to the state capitol.

“We are fortunate to live and work in the Austin-San Antonio area. It provides rich, diverse, creative and historic cultures.”

What is it about Austin or San Antonio that distinguishes them from other cities in Texas? “This area has been known for a more laid back and casual lifestyle, as compared to other big cities in Texas,” says Luis Jauregui. “I believe that this shows through in the design of the homes people live in, and it sets us apart from other parts of the country.”

S P E C I A L A D V E R T I S I N G S E C T I O N

Many artists and designers take inspiration from the environment that surrounds them. In the case of Jauregui Architecture Interiors Construction, they started in the Austin-San Antonio quarter in the 1980s and have operated there primarily ever since, and they look locally for many of their materials. Luis Jauregui, company president, says: “Texas Hill country is a stone town, and we have some of the best quarries in the country. This shows up in the architecture in all the Texas towns surrounding us, and in the courthouses in nearly every city. I use this readily available material in most of my designs.” Jauregui is also inspired by his peers working in the region.

“I never miss the AIA Austin Homes Tour in October, and the GAHBA Parade of Homes in the summer. Both events are full of wonderful designs and provide me with fresh inspiration.” jaureguiarchitect LOCAL CHARACTER

KEEPING COOL Texans are known for an appreciation for the great outdoors, but need to balance that with ways to manage intense heat. Luis Jauregui designs with that in mind, and makes sure clients can keep cool. Jauregui says: “All of our homes are designed to take advantage of shade and views. An indoor-outdoor transition with the use of glass and doors provides access to a terrace to shelter our clients and protects them from extreme Texas heat. It is essential in all of our home designs.”

Photography Top & Right by Dror Baldinger; Center by Chase Daniel; Far right by Whit Preston “I thrive on synthesizing a modernist approach to design with client needs to create unique solutions tailored to each client.”

Architect Jay Corder says: “Design in Austin right now is at an all-time high in terms of the quality of design and the overall talent level of architects in the region. The bar is very high in Austin, and as clients become more sophisticated, the design community has evolved to meet that need. It’s amazing!” Corder is consistently inspired by his local colleagues, and says: “I see new projects on an almost daily basis that are just so lovely for any number of reasons. I’m moved by that, and very humbled to be a part of what’s going on here right now.” As a seventh generation Texan, has deep roots in the community and the local culture in his blood. His design approach “the climate, topography, native materials—all of these things are simply a part of my experience since birth.” MOVING TO MODERNISM Jay Corder confirms that “in Austin, modernist work is on the rise.” He adds: “As a growing metropolitan area, this movement speaks to the flavor and cross-section of transplanted citizens from California and New York. In this way, Austin likely sets a new standard for the quality of construction and overall design for the rest of Texas.”

Modernism is also architect Jay Corder’s focus. “Our work is decidedly modernist in approach. By extension, we naturally seek to find the optimal relationship between our buildings and the land. Whether that’s through passive design strategies that seek to balance and bring in daylight, through the study of edge conditions between inside and out, or through the direct connections of interior and exterior space in the form of framed views and outdoor living spaces, our work resonates this appreciation.”

Austin has been undergoing significant change during the recent period of population growth.

In the past decade, Austin has seen many a new resident settle in, whether from afar or as a transition from another part of Texas. With new corporations doing the same, it has only continued to grow in culture and opportunity year after year. “Austin has become a sophisticated town with knowledgeable, educated consumers seeking the finest in home furnishings and interior design for their homes,” says John-William Interiors founder and president John Snell, who works alongside designers David Fuller, Hadley Hanson, Diana Johnston and Terry Davey. And indeed, while they complete projects throughout the country, their local Austin endeavors prove especially inventive and enticing. Asked what brings such great clients to the city, John says: “Austin is such a hub for creativity. We are exposed to some of the best art, food, music and events around—it’s special.”

Asked to reveal where they find inspiration, the JohnWilliam design team points to two main sources.

EVOLVING STYLE

“Austin design has grown rapidly in not only taste level but also variety of taste,” John says. “With the growing population comes an emerging blend of cultures and influences. Currently, we are noticing a big focus on organic, transitional design with eclectic European influences. Comfort and livability are still very imperative.”

A WORLD OF INFLUENCE

Far left A sophisticated Italian-inspired dining area, this space boasts room for entertaining. Left Luxurious textures and finishes with layers of textiles make this space interesting without overwhelming the senses.

• We are absolutely influenced by nature in our designs and in the pieces we carry. From ocean blues to one-of-a-kind wood end-grain case goods, our clients love bringing the outdoors in.

• Travel is probably our other biggest source for inspiration. Enjoying everything from Italian summers to wineries in Fredericksburg, we use our time outside of the showroom to reinvigorate our creative juices.

“With both national and international interest in our city, the energy is awesome. Austin is making for a great place to do the business of design.”

The saying “Everything is bigger in Texas” likely originated from the fact that the state is the largest in the continental U.S. when it comes to square miles. This state is huge—and so is the array of design styles in the area. Jill Siegel, the LAVISH kitchen + bath chief inspiration officer, says Austin and San Antonio vary in styles and trends. “In Austin we’re not grounded in tradition, so it’s a great place to be creative and playful. In San Antonio, there’s a lot of interest in modern cabinetry and that aesthetic is also fun for us to design and create.” LAVISH has bases in both communities, with a design studio at the Domain Northside in Austin, a new studio in progress in San Antonio, and a production facility located between the cities “so our team can easily service both.” Siegel adds, “Austin and San Antonio are both unique and different from anywhere else in the world.”

CAMOUFLAGE

Above Wood grain warms the space and pairs with the countertops to create clean and functional storage in a beautiful, streamlined look. Top Mixed materials are layered to accentuate dimension and create a striking visual in this open kitchen.

LAVISH is seeing cabinetry “streamlined with clean lines and warm textures in multiple finishes” in today’s kitchen designs. Siegel says, “Paneled appliances are popular, as are appliance garages that conceal items when not in use.”

INSPIRED BY NATURE Jill Siegel says that at LAVISH “nature is our number one inspiration.” She notes that wood is one of their favorite materials for cabinetry, and they are passionate about using natural wood. “Organic materials possess special qualities, and we often incorporate natural elements into our designs.” Nature is also where the team goes for fresh ideas. Siegel adds: “We’re avid hikers and love the terrain of central Texas. You can spot us at Commons Ford, and in warm weather you’ll find us in the water! Be it a river, lake, or swimming hole, the key to staying cool in hot Texas weather is to get wet!”

Ten years ago—after a second renovation of her own South Austin bungalow—Liz MacPhail started her eponymous interior design company. “When our large-scale addition doubled the size of our bungalow, friends and neighbors started asking me to do to their house what I’d done to mine,” says MacPhail. In 2019, she purchased and renovated a 100-year-old historic bungalow to house her interior design studio and a small, trade-only, boutique showroom. MacPhail is passionate about the area. “If I could buy up all the old bungalows in Austin and save them, I would!” She finding ways to salvage the charm and durability of old homes while adding enough updates to make the home last. MacPhail says, “I love listening carefully to what a house really needs—or doesn’t need—and unlocking how best to elevate the old while bringing in the right amount of new to make the home last.” lizmacphailinteriors

MAKE WAY FOR HEIRLOOMS MacPhail always makes space in her designs for family heirlooms and beloved pieces. She says: “We are known for our use of client antiques. If our client loves their grandmother’s buffet, then we love it, too, and will help them make it shine in their home. We just might suggest they move it from where they currently have it, or set it in an unexpected place. We put dressers in dining rooms, pair paintings in a powder room, or put a formal buffet in an office. It’s our way of putting a fresh spin on an old favorite.”

MacPhail says the Austin and San Antonio design communities are vibrant. “We’re picking up steam and making a mark! I used to have to go to Houston, Dallas or New York to source. Now, there’s been so much growth and new business, it has helped establish us in the national design scene.”

“A strong sense of individuality and a focus on custom, artisan craftsmanship sets Austin design apart from other Texas cities.”

• Instagram visits: @aiaaustin @dillonkylearchitects @reagan_andre_architecture @gensleraustin @chasarchitects As stunning, sprawling landscapes go, few places can compete with the beauty of Texas. Whether it be a downtown skyline view, or a silhouette of the hills rolling through the countryside, Texans have a reason to open their homes to the views beyond. That is just what Portella Steel Doors & Windows aims to do. Based in Austin, which they appreciate for its central location and eclectic architecture, CEO Misrraim Cardenas and his team find that clients often favor clean, custom, door and window designs that welcome the outdoors in. “But,” Cardenas says, “we don’t favorites, because our products inspire each project in their own way, which allows for individual creativity.” And indeed, since Portella’s made-to-order approach is fully custom, the possibilities are nearly endless. “Our project managers have extensive knowledge and will help guide you through the process of the investment in your home.” | Chenn

“In Central Texas, the flow— of life and design— is just different.”

WHAT AUSTIN WANTS Asked to discuss the design and architectural trends dominating Austin and the surrounding areas, Cardenas points to a delightful idea. Despite being in an international destination experiencing significant industry and job growth, Austinites, it seems, still value locality and regional style. “We mostly work with modern custom contemporary, Hill Country and Spanish Colonial custom homes, here in Texas,” Cardenas says. “These are considered the trendier aesthetics, but they also have history in Texas.”

Tucked away in Brentwood, in a gorgeous, sun-drenched complex designed by Baldridge Architects, one of Austin’s greatest champions can be found at work: Killy Scheer. The owner of Scheer & Co. Interior Design moved to the Central Texas hot spot after living in New York City and San Francisco, where she launched her design career. In Austin, she found her favorite of the iconic places. “I love the rich culture, energy and talent here,” she says. “I quickly became enamored with the city and immediately got involved with Preservation Austin, in part to ensure I was one of the transplants working to protect its individuality.” She launched her firm in 2013, with the goal of guiding homeowners through a journey of discovery in order to tell their stories through a visual narrative. While trends come and go, Killy is known for bringing bold, highly bespoke, timeless designs to life.

What makes Austin so special? Killy enthuses, “Considering that Austin is located smack dab in the middle of the state, the volume of high-quality, design-centric amenities and establishments is impressive. The restaurant, cocktail and boutique hotel scene rivals those of much larger cities. Despite the influx of people from all over, Austin’s culture remains authentically ‘Austin.’ It may not be as eccentric as it used to be, but it still has a very unique, somewhat intangible vibe Plus, for being a landlocked city, we have access to so much water, which is essential in the Texas heat!”

• The AIA Austin Homes Tour showcases design excellence. The beloved autumn Austin event is a self-guided tour of both new and newly renovated homes designed by local architects.

Austin is home to plenty of transplants and a collection of longtime locals, too. In Matt and Paige Shoberg, the two categories made for a perfect pairing. After moving to the city to start his career in home building, Matt met Paige. Today, they own and run Shoberg Homes together while also running a household of four boys. They do it all from Westlake, Paige’s hometown turned their family and business home base. Upon being asked what they love about the area, Matt chimes in, “I have always believed that Austin is ahead of the curve when it comes to architecture and design, and neighborhoods like Westlake, Tarrytown, Pemberton and Rollingwood showcase the eclectic diversity of styles that contribute to that idea.” As for what new builds and major renos are looking like, Paige says, “There is an overarching desire to create sustainable homes that don’t lack luxury or quality.”

In discussing the value of regionalism as a concept, David touches on the aspect of function. “We like to reach into regional examples that can tie new ways of solving architectural problems together with tried-and-true methods of construction,” he says. “One of my favorite examples is a dogtrot house. This is a home with two parts that connect via an open porch in the middle. It has air funneled through by virtue of being wedged between buildings, which offers the perfect antidote for our hot, humid climate.”

Meanwhile, Austin is a mecca for creativity, taking on the role of ‘experimenter-in-chief.’” As for which specific styles the clients of Webber + Studio are requesting, David points to modern in San Antonio and farmhouse in Austin. “Still, for us, the work is always bespoke, because the site and homeowner’s lifestyle play a critical role.” OF LOCALITY

Interior Design: Emily Summers and Chris Angelle, Emily Summers Design Associates

onsidering interior designer Emily Summers’ intimate knowledge of the HALL Arts Residences in Dallas, it’s no surprise that multiple owners have sought her help in furnishing their units. Summers and her team brought the luxury residential high-rise to life with design director Eddie Abeyta, under architect of record HKS, as well as her longtime collaborator, Jessica Stewart Lendvay, who oversaw the interior architecture. “It was a seven-year project,” the designer recalls. But one residence in particular stands out for Summers. Not only are the homeowners her friends, but their location offers unimpeded views of nearby landmark buildings by bluechip architects I.M. Pei and Norman Foster. Working with her firm’s creative director, Chris Angelle, who served as lead designer, Summers decided to embrace rather than compete with the sweeping vistas. At the same time, the duo aimed to create spaces conducive to the easy lifestyle their clients envisioned for welcoming friends and family. Key to the team’s approach was making the home—which is long and narrow to take advantage of views—flow naturally. With that in mind, Summers and Angelle broke the entry into segments that create what Summers describes as “elements of surprise.” One of these is an art gallery with large-scale, subtly hued works by Brooklyn-based artists Brian Rattiner and Krista Louise Smith. An arching Lindsey Adelman Studio chandelier mounted to the wall and ceiling also bisects the space. The entry foretells more surprises to come, offering a glimpse into the kitchen, where a special installation by graffititurned-fiber artist HotTea occupies an entire wall. “The clients wanted to take this unit to the next level, and they let us generate ideas in a fun and explorative way,” Angelle says. To further define the interiors, the designers created a cocooning lounge with leatherwrapped millwork and a lava stone bar. “The armchairs encourage great conversation,” adds the wife. “And we purposefully installed the Alex Prager piece on the low side, so people in the photograph are at eye level and gaze back at us.” To separate the lounge from the dining and living rooms, builders John Priest and Rodney Smith crafted a series of full-height, pivoting shou sugi ban screens to give the couple flexibility while entertaining. “There’s a great contrast of materiality throughout this home that informed the overall palette and aesthetic,” addsThatSummers.contrast is evident in the dining room, where Summers and Angelle paired an elliptical stone-and-iron table with chairs originally designed for a Michelin-star restaurant in Hong Kong. “They’re soft and comfortable, everything you’d want in a dining chair,” notes Angelle. Underfoot is a Summers signature: a rug cut into pieces and then stitched back together in an unexpected shape. “It needed to be a flat weave, so you can pull the chairs in and out, while still creating interest,” she explains. Also sharing the space is a large architectural photograph by Michael Gaillard.

Further customizing the abode’s floor plan, the primary bedroom suite sits near the main living area for easy access to the terrace and glittering nighttime views. “Everything just fell into perfect place here,” says Angelle, pointing to the leather headboard wall and an owl sculpture by Los Angeles artist David Wiseman. Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the residence, two guest bedrooms accommodate the couple’s children. “They come and go, so the owners wanted gracious, comfortable rooms for them,” says the designer. Form certainly meets function in this home that soars above the city. “It was wonderful to begin with a clean slate—and Chris did a great job of balancing contrast, subtlety and color,” reflects Summers. “Every piece has a purpose. It is all about living in a well-edited space.”

LUXESOURCE.COM

While most of the home follows the owners’ request for a black-and-white palette, the design team employed punches of color to enliven the adjacent glass-walled living room. Here, views of the nearby opera house’s red dome and the park inspired Angelle to bring in complementary hues. “Every project we design is about context, so we pulled in blue, green and yellow from the view,” the designer explains. “It wasn’t about selecting colors; it was about what felt natural.”

A custom Lindsey Adelman Studio Cherry Bomb chandelier arches over the entry, illuminating paintings by Brian Rattiner and Krista Louise Smith.

Worlds Collide Italian classicism and seaside serenity unite in a Houston home’s eye-catching interiors. WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LISA PETROLE | STYLING BY MICHELLE AVIÑA L U X E S O U R C E C O M

The stone’s moody tone inspired marble features throughout, including the entry’s black-and-white flooring, the powder room’s pedestal sink and the primary bedroom’s fireplace surround.

What do sultry Cabo San Lucas resorts and classical Italian villas have in common? Both have a special place in the hearts of the ownershusband-and-wifeofthisnew Houston abode. These desirable destinations also informed the design of the residence itself, which marries the two sources of inspiration with nary a seam in sight.

Throughout most of the interiors, saturated colors float in a plane between white ceilings and dark wood floors—from the dining room’s wine-colored leather chairs and emerald-green sideboard to the living room’s red travertine coffee table and orange velvet-upholstered chair. But in the study, the color is all-encompassing— much to the homeowners’ delight. “We’re not afraid of deep colors or strong elements,” the wife says. “As much as I love a serene feel, put a leopard print in front of me, and I’m good to go.” So, she didn’t bat an eye when Oberhauser had these walls plastered in a deep sienna hue and added tall velvet drapes to match, or when Palmore proposed a dramatic ribbed alcove behind the desk. “That was one of those details we winged,” he adds. “I’m a firm believer that there are some things you can’t design unless you’re standing in the space.”

What’s more, the kitchen island was wrapped in the same species of burl wood Oberhauser specified for aircraft bulkheads in her former career designing luxury jet interiors. “I was scared about that at first,” the wife notes of the latter, “but we get so many compliments about how original it is. And the running theme with Ashton and DJ was, ‘We don’t want to do the expected.’ ” The result is as different—and yet perfectly suited to this couple—as Los Cabos and Tuscany.

During the planning process, residential designer Ryan Gordon imagined how his clients might experience a day at their favorite Mexican seaside retreat: waking to the sight and sound of water outside their bedroom window; hitting the gym before skipping down a spiral staircase to the pool; and dressing for dinner in a spa-like bathroom with earthy plaster walls. Simultaneously, he conceived a design with arched windows and limestone walls, acknowledging the couple’s love of Palladian architecture “without being so literal as to put big columns on the front of the house,” he explains. And in homage to Tuscan country dwellings, he incorporated hefty rafter tails beneath hipped slate roofs as well as wooden beams on high ceilings. But there’s a bigger twist. “From the front, the house is tight and classic, and as you move toward the back, it becomes more transparent,” Gordon says of the steel-and-glass window walls connecting the open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen to the poolside terrace. This contemporary contrast hints at interiors brought to life by designer Ashton Taylor Oberhauser and builder DJ Palmore, who blended elegant, coved ceilings and paneled and plastered walls with clean-lined Italian modernism. “The homeowners’ personalities are at opposite ends of the spectrum: she’s outgoing, and he’s more reserved and regimented,” Palmore says. “This home’s aesthetic reflects both of them by being bold but also structured.”

Encouraged by the clients’ derring-do, Oberhauser and Palmore proposed a few more bold choices, including a Romanesque dome in black plaster over the powder room sink and the primary bathroom’s freestanding tub encased in a cube of quartzite.

LUXESOURCE.COM

For her part, Oberhauser found inspiration for the dramatic spaces in a rare vintage black marble dining table by Italian architect and designer Angelo Mangiarotti. “The contemporary lines and beautiful stone, which is worn in the most perfect way, helped set the tone for what we wanted in the entire house,” she recalls. “My style leans more contemporary, but I believe in finding a way to roughen up those sharp lines for more of an aged patina, because you still need some soul.”

Its timeworn finish—reflective of ancient Italian architecture—also helped inform the plastered walls, French oak floors and full-bodied velvets, moirés and bouclés on the furnishings. “There’s a lot of depth to the fabric colors we selected that you can’t get from typical cotton velvet,” Oberhauser explains. “The living room chair, for example, had to be a striae linen cotton to provide the richness we needed.”

n life, certain moments—the golden warmth of a sunrise, a chilly plunge into blue waters, or the sticky sweetness of childhood ice cream afternoons—linger deeper in our minds. It’s these euphoric events that Houston artist Angel Oloshove embodies in her expressive ceramic sculptures. Alongside monoprints and functional pottery, she experiments with emotive forms, textures and colors. “I love those moments that feel like a full-body sensation, when you become completely attuned to what’s happening,” she observes. “I want to marry that spiritual and ephemeral experience in solid form.” To create her synesthetic shapes and hues, Oloshove often prods her own memories, recalling everything from her childhood on a Michigan farm to young adulthood working as a toy designer in Japan. The latter’s majestic rain-eroded forest Buddha statues, for example, influence her abstract yet anthropomorphic approach to form. And then there’s Houston’s vivid sky, “with colors unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” she muses. “When they reflect off the skyscrapers, you feel like you’re in a planetarium playing Fantasia .” Oloshove’s bucolic barn studio feels similarly fairy tale-like, with greenery creeping under the walls and chickens clucking outside. The organic space feeds her process, which begins with sketching until an abstract yet visceral silhouette emerges. “I never want these forms to be too didactic,” she explains. “I want them to feel like a memory you forgot you had.” Based on the final drawing, she constructs cotton-and-wood molds, draping them with slabs of clay. She then refines the shape, drawing from her background in toy design, “where the smallest change can make something come to life,” the artist says. Once the shape is formed, she removes the mold, leaving behind a hollow cavity imparting “visual buoyancy, with beautiful convex curves not beholden to gravity,” she notes. After firing, the Texas clay becomes a paper-white canvas for spray-painting with vivid color-stable underglazes, which Oloshove carefully contours so each shade appears to pulse through the piece.

On display at Uprise Art in New York and Form & Concept in Santa Fe, her sculptures’ powdery matte finishes feel achingly familiar, somewhere between weathered stone and warm skin. “I want you to have a ghostly feeling in your fingers when viewing it, of how it would feel in your hands,” she describes. In a way, her work becomes truly complete in this moment, when colors and contours awaken the observers’ own bodily reveries. Because for Oloshove, “I’m always trying to find a connection with others that’s more complex than words.”

Houston artist, ceramicist and sculptor Angel Oloshove (opposite) creates ceramic sculptures, monoprints (left and bottom) and even functional pottery.

Interior Design: Shazalynn Cavin Winfrey, SCW Interiors, LLC Returning to Your Roots A designer’s renovated Austin abode honors her own history while nodding to its former owner. WRITTEN BY KATE ABNEY PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEPHEN KARLISCH STYLING BY FRANCES BAILEY

omething seems fated about the home designer Shazalynn Cavin Winfrey has made her own in Austin. She wasn’t even in Texas when the residence came on the market, but she immediately knew it was special. “I texted my husband, who was nearby, and said, ‘the minute you wake up, get in the car and go over there,’ ” recounts the designer, recalling how she fell in love with the property sight unseen. Seated on one of the highest points in the city, the home had previously belonged to Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, whose bishop lived there for more than 40 years. It had served as a parsonage, providing living quarters for the bishop as well as plentiful spaces for hosting parishioners and visiting clergy. However, the abode’s traditional hallmarks—white stucco, stacked stone, red-clay floors, terra-cotta roof tiles—resonated with the designer, who spent much of her life in the western part of the state and was anxious to find her way back. “There was something old-school Texas about this architecture,” she muses. When Cavin Winfrey finally set foot on the property, she found a tangle of overgrowth. Taming the vast landscape included preserving its heritage trees, inserting a sleek swimming pool and updating the bishop’s four beloved terraces— with one perfectly positioned to soak up the area’s golden sunsets. Interior design decisions were similarly predicated on natural light, with the floor plan preserving outdoor access from virtually every room and hallway. From there, a family room was captured for a daughter’s bedroom, the dining room was swapped with the living area, and an upstairs apartment kitchen was converted to a closet. Meanwhile, the kitchen was reconfigured for both beauty and functionality. Here, the influence of Cavin Winfrey’s former culinary arts career is evident in the custom private-label cabinetry as well as the layout. “Most professional kitchens have a galley style, and that’s my preference,” the designer shares. “I think zones are important, and keeping the working area and serving area separate.” One end of the space features an entertaining station complete with a refrigerator in Kelly green—a hue repeated on a lacquered china cabinet that anchors the opposing breakfast nook. The color choice is a nod to the bishop’s annual Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations but is also a direct response to the natural surroundings. “I believe a house will tell you what it should be,” explains Cavin Winfrey. Verdant hues also appear prominently in a Jackand-Jill bathroom, which the designer clad in handmade ceramic tiles. Teamed with patterned selections adorning the stair risers and running up the kitchen backsplash, the tile assortments have the added benefit of appearing original to the house. “It was a tribute to my Southwestern roots,” she describes, “that 50 years ago, materials would have been made and sourced locally with indigenousComplementingqualities.”the spaces are favorite pieces that have followed Cavin Winfrey and her family from place to place. “I can’t think of a single item in this house that doesn’t fit better here than it did anywhere else,” she expresses. In the dining room, a raw-crystal chandelier from a previous residence illuminates a backdrop of scenic wallpaper bedecked with fanciful creatures. And an inherited collection of Staffordshire figurines feels right at home atop twin étagères tucked into the window niches. Adds the designer: “These pieces are about our history and the ancestors who have helped deliver us to this place.” It was much the same case for the couple’s eclectic collection of art. “Truthfully, I only purchased one new piece for this home,” Cavin Winfrey reveals. Framed textiles—originally from the Lakai Uzbeks in Afghanistan—hang in the primary bedroom, conversing with a mix of Southwest-style and other vibrant rugs throughout the interiors. In a daughter’s bedroom, art pops against sketchy grid-like walls underscoring the designer’s deftness for combining scales and patterns. While in the entryway, a small landscape of her native New Mexico suspends above seven tortoise shells, and a cherished angel figurine poses within a niche retained during the renovation.

The residence is a sacred vignette of sorts— one that honors Cavin Winfrey’s story as much as that of the bishop before her. “There has been a spiritual journey in arriving to this home,” the designer notes. “I know this place has a history, a divinity, and those are my touchstones.”
