Blueprints + BRUSHSTROKES 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

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.

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.

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

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

“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.”

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?

RYE NAZARIAN

JAMIE DRAKE AND CALEB ANDERSON + JONATHAN KUTZIN

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

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.”

EMILIE MUNROE + RYE NAZARIAN

LOS ANGELES, CA TIMOTHY CORRIGAN + BILL SUPLEE

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.

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

AUSTIN, TX SARA MALEK BARNEY + LISA AND PETER MOON

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?

tracymorrisdesign.com, horizonbuildersinc.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

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

“ 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.

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

What is your all-time favorite Benjamin Moore product?

WESTCHESTER, NY

How did you three come to work together?

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.

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.”

We have our go-to favorites!”

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.”

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.”

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

SARAH BROUGHTON Chantilly Lace OC-65 Wind’s Breath OC-24 Jute AF-80

“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.”

“If you are aiming to create a glowing space with a level-five finish, select an enamel paint that provides that car paint-like look.”

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.”

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.”

“As an architect, you don’t want to compromise your design in order to get what you want. You want to have a product that can meet what you need it to do. And we’ve found that Western Window Systems works very well for us.”

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.

Artists to Discover: Delphine Desane’s painting Georgia, Mother of Three (top left); Ilídio Candja Candja’s Olhando Para O Passaso a mixed media on canvas (top right); Sage High Rise, an oil and acrylic on canvas, by Amanda Baldwin (above).

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. Please support artists and the arts.

“When there is no room for individualism in ballparks, then there will be no room for individualism in life.” BILL VEECK

“The best camera is the one you have with you.” This lesson, imparted to fine art photographer Kate Holstein by her father years ago, has helped inspire the serene yet striking quality of her landscapes. Holstein relies less on fancy gear—she travels to scenic destinations around the world carrying just one camera and two lenses—and more on an ethereal quality of light so elusive it exists for mere seconds each day. “I’m always looking for those magic moments that occur in nature,” says the photographer, whose experience as a professional skier affords her unique access to some of the world’s most dramatic high-country landscapes, including those around her hometown of Aspen. “I find the time just after a snowstorm, when everything is freshly blanketed in white, to be the most magical time to shoot,” Holstein reflects. “I love trying to capture a rugged, strong landscape in a soft, quiet, almost meditative way.” kateholstein.com

SHOP MENO HOME Chances are the name of one of Denver’s most prolific product designers is one you’ve never heard of before. Since 2015, Jerri Hobdy has dreamed up hundreds of eye-catching furniture and lighting pieces for brands including Four Hands, Arteriors and Anthropologie. But this year, the young talent has stepped into the spotlight. In May, her year-old online home goods brand Meno Home made its brick-and-mortar debut at Free Market, the retail collective in LoDo. And this fall, she’s adding an in-house furniture collection to her inventory of locally sourced vintage finds. Hobdy’s new line of sofas, stools and tables hews to a sophisticated aesthetic the designer calls “soft modernism.” Her pieces showcase a palette of painstakingly sourced sustainable materials, from a vegan leather alternative made from Mexican nopal cactus to onyx reclaimed from downtown Denver’s original Hyatt hotel. With this opening, Hobdy’s full vision for Meno Home has been realized: “We’re giving customers the ability to mix new and vintage items in order to create their own unique look using furniture that’s acrossthe-board sustainable,” the designer says. menohome.com

INSPIRING MIND RENÉE DEL GAUDIO When she founded her namesake architecture firm, Renée del Gaudio embarked on a search for what she describes as “the most authentic architectural language for our unique climate, landscape and history here in the Rocky Mountain West.” A decade on, an impressive portfolio of residential work that’s earned her countless accolades suggests she’s found some answers. rdg-architecture.com

Share some design decisions you’ve made to achieve a sense of authenticity. In my most recent project, Goatbarn Lane, I sited the house alongside a dramatic granite outcropping. The rock informed the location, floor plan and circulation of the house. For me, authenticity is found when a building emerges so strongly from its place that you can no longer imagine it anywhere else. What materials are you gravitating toward? I want to do extraordinary things with ordinary materials, like plywood for instance. I find that challenge more interesting than seeking out the latest, greatest new material on the market.

Many Georgia O’Keeffe lovers may be surprised to learn that the modernist visionary captured flowers and stark Southwestern landscapes not just with brushstrokes, but with a camera as well. Through November 6, the Denver Art Museum shines a light on this aspect of her career with “Georgia O’Keeffe: Photographer,” a showcase of nearly 100 photographs displayed alongside a selection of paintings and drawings. “O’Keeffe explored the world with a camera to refine and clarify her vision as a painter,” says Eric Paddock, curator of photography at the Denver Art Museum. “These photographs provide startling insight into her work.” And a compelling new reason to appreciate this iconic American artist. denverartmuseum.org

MUST SEE RESNICK CENTER FOR HERBERT BAYER STUDIES

“GEORGIA O’KEEFFE: PHOTOGRAPHER”

If you could design on any Colorado landscape, where would it be? One of my upcoming projects in the foothills above Boulder is my dream site. It has it all: Flatirons views, a mountain meadow, snow-capped peaks in the distance. It has a pine forest, aspen groves and granite outcroppings, too. All it’s missing is a mountain stream!

In 1946, artist and designer Herbert Bayer, one of the Bauhaus’ most influential proponents, moved to Aspen. There, he played a key role in the town’s postwar revitalization by shaping the Aspen Institute’s early vision and historic campus, which comprises buildings and outdoor art installations designed between 1953 and 1975. This summer, the Institute honored Bayer with the debut of the Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies, a new facility dedicated to highlighting his work and legacy through exhibitions, public programming, community engagement and educational initiatives. The center—designed by Jeffrey Berkus Architects and Rowland+Broughton—features a Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic that pays homage to its historic neighbor, Bayer’s 1973 Boettcher Seminar Building. On view through December 2, its inaugural exhibition, “Herbert Bayer: An Introduction,” will present six decades of his work, including dozens of rarely shown paintings and watercolors capturing his love of the area. thebayercenter.org must see photo: tony prikryl. on view photo: georgia o’keeffe, jimsonweed (datura stramonium ) , 1964–1968 , black-and-white polaroid, georgia o’keeffe museum, santa fe © georgia o’keeffe museum. inspiring mind: house photo, david lauer photography; portrait, ashley sawtelle.

THE RITZ-CARLTON, BACHELOR GULCH

FAB COLLAB NADIA WATTS X KRAVET

In 1894, artist and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany patented Favrile glass, a unique glass defined by its iridescent colors. Now, his great-great-granddaughter, Denver-based interior designer Nadia Watts, has used that coveted material as inspiration for her first fabric collaboration with Kravet. Aptly named the Gem Collection, the assortment of modern embroideries, prints, velvets and bouclés shimmers with the jewel-like chartreuse, fuchsia and teal hues of Tiffany’s signature glass. Luxe sat down with Watts to learn more. kravet.com What sparked the idea for this collaboration? I was introduced to the Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Archival Glass by Ellen Kravet in 2017. The textures, shapes and bright colors of the glass used for these windows, lamps and decorative pieces immediately inspired me. I went home and began sketching what eventually became the Gem Collection. Describe your vision for this line. My goal was to create a complex assortment of fabrics using brilliant hues and motifs. I wanted lush fabrics that made you want to touch them— the same way glass makes you feel. From the cut-velvet Foundrae to Hoopla, an embroidery with hand-shearing, the variety of these textiles lends itself to endless applications in the home. Tell us about the personal significance this collection holds. By using glass as an inspiration, I’m paying homage to my heritage and carrying on the legacy and gift of color my great-great-grandfather gave us all.

For two decades, the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, has won marks for its edge-of-the-wilderness setting, best-in-class outdoor experiences, and signature hospitality. Now, a two-year series of renovations and upgrades has brought the Vail Valley resort firmly into the present, all the while emphasizing its coveted place in the heart of the American West. The transformation began in 2020 with multiple dining experiences—from a new sushi restaurant to enhanced après-ski venues—and culminated this summer with the debut of the Club Lounge, Great Room and guest rooms and suites, all reimagined by Mexico City–based designer Simon Hamui. “We sought to create spaces that encourage social gatherings while integrating historical elements to the design to connect it to the region’s history and nature,” says Hamui. To wit, a palette of organic wood, stone textures and soothing earthy tones create the warm and contemporary setting of this new must-see destination. ritzcarlton.com fab collab photos: courtesy kravet. transformation photo: courtesy the ritz-carlton.

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.

A student of Shaker the New York-based come to culture and beliefs were tied to what produced. Be it a chair, table or baby’s toy, every form harks back to the maker’s values—a quiet beauty Nosanchuk honors every stage

“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

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.”

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

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.

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.

On the Move

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

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.”

From a front façade to a fireplace design or a spalike bathroom wall, stone plays an integral role in creating exterior and interior places that feel both sturdy and stylish. For decades, Eldorado Stone has been inviting architects, designers, builders and homeowners alike to explore the possibilities as they seek that marriage of beauty and function. With a wide range of premium stone profiles and a second-to-none approach to the development and application of trend-leading color palettes, the company has become a beloved stone resource.

– 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.”

“Every home should be uniquely designed for the people living in it, especially with respect to evoking emotion and forming lifelong memories. Adding textural touches is a wonderful way to set a tone for each space.”

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.”

K I T C H E N + B A T H | T H E R E P O R T LIVING Inspiration abounds with unabashedly bold kitchens and baths and art world discoveries.

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.

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

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

ALL SQUARE

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

BULLARD

FLORAL FAN TASY

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

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.

A Brooklynite by way of Haiti, Gardy St. Fleur built his practice showing beginner collectors the ropes—and joys—of the art world. As business grew, he drilled down on introducing emerging, as well as historically overlooked, talents to budding collectors, adding mentorship and management of working artists along the way. saintfleur.com

L U X E S O U R C E C O M L I V I N G OPEREHTRT

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.

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.

Ar tists to watch: Rebecca Ness, Delphine Desane, Cindy Ji Hye Kim, Chibuike Uzoma and Vamba Bility. Don’t miss: The Independent Fair in New York this September, which will focus on overlooked 20 th century artists. Paul Claude Gardère, the first Haitian artist in residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, will be on view—I’m excited about that. Next frontier: Starting a monthly dinner series where artists, clients and board members can discuss changes that need to be made at the institutional level.

SOCIAL STUDIES

Illa Gaunt brings a masters in art history and a post-graduate diploma in modern and contemporary art from Christie’s Education in London to her Houston-based boutique advisory.

MODERN HISTORY

Anchored in New York with satellite locations in the American West and overseas, the Dia Art Foundation is a force in the nonprofit space. For Humberto Moro—newly-appointed deputy director of program—evolving exhibitions, publications and public engagement is intrinsically linked to telling an even more inclusive history of art. diaart.org

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.

ARTS EVOLUTION

When Chelsea Neman Nassib founded Tappan Collective 10 years ago, online-native galleries were a novelty. Fast forward to 2020 and the platform, thanks to its investment in producing artist studio visits and profiles for their website, found itself precociously equipped to connect stories with collectors in a digital world. tappancollective.com

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

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

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.

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.

Today’s kitchen is a hub of activity. It’s where family and friends gather, gourmet cooks prepare meals and takeout fans lay out the latest spread. It’s also where homework happens, virtual conference calls take place and work-from-home ideas percolate next to the coffee. Today’s bathroom is very different, serving as a spa-like oasis right inside the home. Both rooms share one thing in common: they are centers for design. In this special section, we showcase the latest in features and appliances, lasting and on-trend color palettes, beautifully blended materials, and the lighting and hardware choices that make kitchens and baths true dream designs.

“Our mission is to provide an absolutely exceptional experience for our clients, through timeless and authentic design.”

TODAY’S TOP PICKS Lindemann shared her current favorite design choices for kitchens and bathrooms.

Emily Lindemann, the owner of Coeur Cabinet + Curated Interiors, believes that home design should resonate on an emotional level, and that good design is both beautiful and functional. Coeur provides a range of services that allow clients to work with them in multiple ways. They provide custom cabinetry design, a full-service interior design studio and a home décor and furnishings store. Lindemann notes, “All of our designers have a background in architecture and interior design, and create thoughtful designs that consider all aspects of a space.” Adding on interior design capabilities and a store simplifies the entire home design experience for their customers. Lately, people have been leaning towards “natural, organic palettes that resonate with the focus on wellness-inspired rooms. Colors with greens and browns— as well as natural woods—are very much a component of many of our designs.” coeurcci

• Appliance garages: “We integrate these into almost every project. They remove clutter from countertops, yet keep the tools accessible for everyday use.”

When it comes to working with different materials in home design, Lindemann says: “The secret to balancing multiple materials in one space is to be able to tell a cohesive color story. Materials should have complementary color undertones that allow for a seamless transition. Trust your instinct when deciding if a combination of materials feels forced or effortless.”

• Quartzite: “This material is a must for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a beautiful, natural stone and incredibly durable.”

• Unique woods: “We incorporate natural wood into all of our designs in order to bring warmth to a space.”

Karska spills the inside scoop on where color preferences are leaning these days.

In any interior space, but especially in the high-functioning kitchen and bath, elegant design often comes down to keeping it subtle and simple. This is a concept that guides and inspires Kasia Karska as she goes about her work leading Kasia Karska Design. With training in architecture and the fashion industry in addition to her interior design chops, the creative is known for her ability to beautify environments in such a way that improves an individual’s quality of life through the marriage of function and form. Asked to share her top rule for kitchen and bath design, she says: “I would say there are three. First, generosity in space planning is key. Second, I think there should be a sensible appeal to these spaces. Third, with kitchens being the center of the home, bringing the outdoors in, which we do through big windows and windows as backsplash, is a must.”

LOWDOWN ON COLOR HIGHS

• Bright and clean looks are favored, so many shades of white are trending.

• People are drifting away from gray, which has dominated the past decade in design.

• There are turquoises and greens among favorites as well.

KITCHENS

Asked to discuss the trend toward open floor plans for the kitchen, Karska points to the idea of the duo. “I think it started with people wanting two kitchens: one for the dirty prep work and storage, and another for entertaining,” she says. “Clients then wanted to divide the kitchens gently with a wall or split level, and that has evolved to demand that the kitchen for show be accessible to guests. They have opened to include living, kitchen and dining in one big space.”

“Views to the outdoors and the presence of a fireplace bring out the warmth in one’s home.”

Understanding the daily rituals and routines of every family is key to designing a custom kitchen. Longtime interior designer Laura Umansky does her homework. She asks the right questions and a lot of them, ensuring the design reflects and enhances the owner’s lifestyle. Questions like “Do the kiddos do their homework at the island?” and “Is there enough refrigeration space?” help define a visual space. “Our clients are at the center of every design decision we make,” Umansky says. A personal touch of Laura U Design Collective’s is a chic day pantry that is filled with clever storage solutions. Gina Elkins, creative director at the firm, points out that day pantries are small everyday pantries designed with bespoke custom millwork to complement the larger walk-in pantry. should be space for everyday items and concealing small appliances,” she says.

EASE OF USE

What is something that everyone needs in their kitchen? One approach Bevan and Blankenburg use to design a functional kitchen is to take a close look at drawer space and location. “We find that deep drawers are often more practical than cabinets for a lot of clients. When planned well, they are a great solution and provide easy access to everyday items with a lot less rooting around in hard-to-reach places.” “Through thoughtful collaboration, we create a unique vision for each client meant to inspire them. Then we bring it to life!”

RELAX AND SOOTHE

Layers + Lines has recently had several clients interested in high-tech bathtubs. Professional and everyday athletes alike look forward to a revitalizing soak after training. Bevan shares, “One client—a boxing coach— affectionately named his new bathtub the “noodle bowl,” and he couldn’t wait to sink in and use all of the functions to soothe his aching muscles. The primary bathroom was built around that noodle Sometimesbowl!” design can be found in very unexpected places. For Molly Bevan and Kim Blankenburg of Layers + Lines Home Design, their design partnership began in the marketing department of a Denver-based investment firm. After a decade of working side-by-side, they became creative partners in 2016. Their philosophy is that clean, simple lines provide the right foundation for a space and by layering in bespoke details, a home will tell a story. They find kitchen projects to be a fun challenge. Blankenburg says, “It’s the place where homework is done, Zoom calls happen, takeout containers land, gourmet meals are prepared and family and friends gather. It’s critical that the ideal kitchen—and adjacent spaces—accommodate it all!” She adds: “Through thoughtful collaboration, we create a unique vision to inspire our clients and show them what’s possible. Then we get to work to bring it to life!”

Architecture: Eric Cummings, E Cummings Architect Interior Design: José Solís Betancourt and Paul Sherrill, Solís Betancourt & Sherrill Home Builder: Paul Ricks, Fortenberry & Ricks View Finder A Telluride retreat surrounded by waterfalls and peaks is designed to pay homage to its environs from every angle. WRITTEN BY HILARY MASELL OSWALD | PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARCOS GALVANY

There’s no doubt the house responds impeccably to its context—as Cummings intended—and imparts comfortable, lowkey sophistication—as Solís Betancourt and Sherrill devised. For the owner, the real delight is in the abode’s appeal to her guests: “What was important to me was for my house to accommodate at least two families, and that even teenagers would want to be there,” Rachel shares. “It’s a home base in the mountains for the people I love, and a place that I hope will endure for a very long time.” Simple enough.

simple”—that’sonastically how homeowner Rachel Moore Weller, who grew up in Colorado, described her vision for the Telluride family retreat that she tapped architect Eric Cummings to design and general contractor Paul Ricks to construct.

While the interiors are much more striking than the average monasterial cell—and definitely more spacious—the surroundings are certainly praiseworthy and spiritually moving. Tucked within Box Canyon, the house offers panoramic vistas of the area’s two beloved waterfalls, Bridal Veil Falls and Ingram Falls, and the mountains that rise steeply around them. “It’s national park-quality scenery outside,” marvels Ricks, who worked closely with project manager Mike LeBlanc. To respond to the site, Cummings designed the house to be primarily oriented toward Bridal Veil, between mountains visible to the north, east and south. This configuration allows the central great room’s extensive wall of windows to fully capture the area’s dramatic scenery. “Everywhere you are in this space, you see that landscape and—I swear—it makes people behave better and feel happier,” Rachel says with a laugh. To keep the focus outside, the residence’s interior architecture is pared down to geometric shapes and key materials such as concrete floors, exposed steel beams and wood. “Those sights were a wonderful challenge,” says designer Paul Sherrill of the furnishings and decor he put in place in collaboration with José Solís Betancourt. “We wanted the interiors to be strong enough to stand up to this wonderful attribute,” he notes. The pair chose rich, textural neutrals that would enhance the home’s architecture without drawing attention away from its picturesque outdoors. Blues, grays, coppers and browns—all shades drawn from the landscape—define the palette. Because the homeowner’s brief prioritized comfort and low-maintenance materials and surfaces, the designers employed indoor-outdoor fabrics on many upholstered pieces. A Great Outdoors fabric by Holly Hunt was chosen for the Ferrell Mittman sectional, for example, and the duo utilized solution-dyed acrylics that won’t fade in the intense Colorado sun. Rachel also wanted the team to incorporate Southwestern fabrics in order to honor the area’s history and its people, the Diné Navajo. “We used many textiles as artwork,” Solís Betancourt notes. “The fine weave adds warmth to the walls in a visual way.” Yet the interior designers didn’t shy away from bold decisions. Notable pieces include the dining area’s 1,900-pound cast-bronze table crafted by artist Stefan Bishop. “It has hand-textured surfaces and overlapping amorphous shapes,” describes Sherrill. “It’s a wonderful, horizontal sculpture,” concurs Rachel. Meanwhile, the mix of chairs surrounding it imparts a level of casualness that she also desired, all the while allowing it to welcome up to 10 guests. The designers crowned the piece with a chandelier of cascading slumped glass from Charles Burnand, giving the room a gentle glow and echoing the movement of the waterfalls outside, Solís BetancourtWheneverexplains.shedesires a quieter spot, the homeowner moves to what she calls the “book nook”: a much smaller room with a wall of novels from beloved Argosy Book Store in New York. “They’re mostly 19th-century English novels,” she says, “from Jane Austen, who’s more late 18th century, through Henry James.” Here too, the designers married form and function, with an Amuneal media center holding Rachel’s personal library, a pair of comfortable club chairs and an ottoman covered in a Navajo textile. “It’s the perfect place to escape and read,” she enthuses.

iven that this penthouse residence is surrounded by the natural beauty of Beaver Creek, designer Annie Kern didn’t want its interiors to compete with the area’s postcardworthy, mountain-ringed panoramas. There already was a lot going on architecturally, Kern observed, from the great room’s vaulted ceiling to an abundance of orangehued butternut wood. Right from the first glimpse with her clients, who planned to utilize the sky-high home as their family getaway, she wanted to tone down the woodwork, walls and surfaces. “I just thought, ‘What can we do to give your eyes a softer place to land?’ ” she recalls. Kern had known the homeowners for a long time and worked with them over the years on smaller projects. As a result, they kicked off this renovation with an established level of trust and a deep understanding. The couple, both longtime art collectors, “love to play with color,” she notes. They also have eight adult children and dozens of grandchildren, and wanted their retreat to be stylish, welcoming and fun. “My clients asked for a ‘mountain modern’ feel, but they didn’t want it to feel austere or minimal,” the designer adds. But first, some walls needed to fall—and others needed to rise. Architect Amy Salter spearheaded the changes. “It was traditional but dated, with a wonderful volume and interiors that were beautiful for their time,” she explains. Salter largely retained the home’s layout, “pushing and pulling” several areas to improve both the spatial setup and flow. To wit, the kitchen and pantry changed shape, the study’s wet bar was nixed to make room for a wider fireplace wall, and the primary bath’s enormous footprint was reduced to carve out a spacious den. The architect also replaced the two-level penthouse’s heavy wood railings—prominent due to an upstairs balcony—with contemporary metal-and-glass ones. That choice decisively brought the interior architecture up to date and let in more light. It also offered the upstairs hall’s art gallery visibility from below. “Using glass opened everything up and gave that space a much nicer presence,” Salter comments. But the one change that really set the tone for the interior’s new direction was the decision to strip the extensive orange-butternut woodwork that had previously contributed to the abode’s lodge-like look. “A lighter, neutral tone just worked better with the natural surroundings,” Kern observes. And this was, after all, one of the main objectives.

Builder and project manager Robyn Boylan sourced new butternut to craft interior doors, coffered ceilings and other trim—which became a labor of love. “Butternut is more uncommon now due to a disease known as ‘butternut canker,’ ” she explains, “so our supplier had to go through a network of mills nationwide to find it in the widths and lengths we needed.” New wide-plank, light oak flooring paired well with it, she adds. Kern devised a plan for the interiors, keeping in mind her original goal to provide restful points of interest. One such example is the smooth-cut limestone surround in the great room that replaced a busy moss rock wall. “It’s a beautiful backdrop for all the seasons,” the designer says. On the opposite side of the open living-dining space, the kitchen’s waterfall countertops in White Macaubas quartzite mirror this simplicity. To kick off furnishings, one key piece set the stage: “I fell in love with a large-scale camouflage rug in shades of brown, cream and taupe to anchor the great room—that was the springboard,” Kern remembers. Next, she plucked aubergine and blue accents from a few choice oil paintings in that same space and used the hues throughout the home, from the great room’s chevron-patterned seats to the sofa and mix of upholstered armchairs in the casual dining area. In the formal dining space, Kern introduced camel leather chairs and a pair of azure ones in a bold, graphic print. The sturdier fabrics introduce stronger textures while balancing what looks like a metal caged chandelier overhead (but is actually made of steel and gilded papier mâché). “It elevates the space without feeling heavy,” she says. This palette and its various blue hues continue through the entire home, from the den’s immersive, lacquered cobalt walls to the primary bedroom’s crisp but quieter pairing of indigo and white. A guest room’s immersive Cole & Son’s Wood & Stars navy wallcovering also echoes these tones while evoking a nighttime fairy-tale woodland. But in the end, everything still cedes way to one major scene-stealer: “So much of this project had to do with the views,” says Kern, looking back at her work. “There are just so, so many. They wanted every room to take advantage of that.” And now, she’s happy to report, everywhere your eyes rest is stellar inside and out.

Anchored by a large window, this Beaver Creek penthouse’s breakfast nook offers views of ever-changing scenery. A Michael Taylor Designs banquette from John Brooks paired with RH burgundy linen armchairs and powder-blue Rose Tarlow Melrose House chairs provide a variety of seating options.

n the mind’s eye, not even the most abstract art remains purely nonrepresentational. Stare long enough and your imagination will take over, extracting narratives from shapes and colors. Ellen Moershel plays to this effect through paintings that tantalize the senses. On her canvases, visions of Eden might arise from plump orbs and tangled lines, and bustling cityscapes may form out of jagged neon fragments. Or you might simply feel engulfed by her chromatic waves. Subjective visual interpretation is what Moershel loves about the artistic process. “With abstraction, there’s so much freedom,” she says. “The precise subject matter is secondary to the form.”

In turn, the artist filters her own surroundings through her lens. Nature in particular has long provided fruitful inspiration. “I’ve always thought plants were good at sparking abstract drawings,” says Moershel. This influence permeates through her most recent series at the Walker Fine Art gallery. Inspired by her own collection of tropical houseplants, these artworks arguably show Moershel at her most figurative and maximalistic, weaving botanically inspired silhouettes through architectural arches and square shapes. “I’m interested in that juxtaposition of the organic with geometric, human-made forms,” the artist explains. Moershel’s process combines structured and spontaneous techniques. She starts out instinctively sketching forms until compelling compositions emerge. “Just a twitch of the hand, a mistake or a quick decision can lead to something new,” she notes. Then, using these drawings as reference, she fleshes out shapes with oil on canvas or, most recently, gouache on paper. Gouache, known for its deep saturation, opacity and smoothness, imparts an energy the artist appreciates. “It is such a graphic paint,” she says. This vibrance is amplified in her many public murals. For each of these projects, Moershel tries to “let the space inform the piece,” so that the art “looks like it belongs,” she explains. Cracks in a façade, for example, bloom into a web of color, while a yoga studio’s lengthy exterior wall transforms into meditative tidal pools that captivate practitioners’ focus. For the artist, seeing real life refracted through this variegated perspective is endlessly surprising. “I’ve always appreciated life’s unpredictability,” muses Moershel. “We never know where it’s going to take us.”

Architecture: Luis Menendez, Menendez Architects + Interiors Interior Design: Nasrin Nourian Menendez, Menendez Architects + Interiors Home Builder: Mike Simpson and Ryan McGovern, Koru Ltd. Landscape Architecture: Ryan Vugteveen and Jane Lanter, Lift Studio Set in Stone A granite-clad riverside home in Woody Creek draws inspiration from Nordic elements and the area’s dramatic topography. WRITTEN BY LAURA FENTON PHOTOGRAPHY BY DRAPER WHITE

And the homeowners’ love of travel shaped the decor in the form of Moroccan rugs, Moorish tiles and art they’d collected.

F or one retired couple, the initial allure of their new Woody Creek getaway overlooking the Roaring Fork River was the quality of the area’s fly fishing—excellent, by the way—rather than the property’s aged log home. It had already borne several additions throughout its life span and, after replacing the roof, the duo called in a team of pros to rethink the residence completely. “The house had a very convoluted floor plan, and we went through a few iterations trying to make it work,” recalls architect Luis Menendez who, along with his wife and partner, interior designer Nasrin Nourian Menendez, led the revamp. Eventually, they determined that it made more sense to start fromOutscratch.camethe wish list. The couple wanted a single-story abode with room to host their four adult daughters (and maybe grandchildren someday, too). But since their family is closeknit, they were happy to have some of the guest bedrooms share baths. The wife, who is Finnish, also desired a classic sauna experience incorporated into the home. And, of course, the duo wanted to take full advantage of the property’s picturesque riversideShapedperch.likea boomerang, Luis’ new design divides the home in two. One wing contains the main living spaces and primary suite, while the other houses bedrooms for the owners’ offspring and guests, including a bunk room with two twin-overqueen beds. The house is oriented towards the river with the bedrooms angled to capture the sunrise, and an expansive sauna sits at the intersection of the two wings. A subtle personal touch comes via the cedar siding, which is made up of boards of four different widths—one for each of the owners’ daughters—spaced randomly to symbolize “the unpredictable nature of raising children,” the architect explains. Stone became a key design element due to the many large granite boulders found on-site. They were of particular interest since the wife’s family operates a granite quarry in Finland. “We wanted to use that material to connect the site to her history in an interesting way,” says Luis, who imagined an exterior clad in cedar and a jigsaw-like arrangement of giant granite slabs. For this ambitious plan, he worked closely with project manager Martin Taffarelli and builders Mike Simpson and Ryan McGovern. “The granite veneer was a unique challenge,” notes Simpson.

Specialists from Suarez Masonry assisted with the install and were “masterful in the details, which yielded a one-of-a-kind result,” notes Simpson.

A monthslong search for the right stone led the team to Millennium Granite, a small quarry in Maine. To source the massive slabs required— some of the individual pieces weighed more than 2,000 pounds—the stone was extracted in large blocks with the faces sawn off for a cleft finish.

The stone-and-wood theme continues inside, where many interior surfaces feature European white oak. Stone accents appear on the fireplace, near an entryway window seat and within the sauna. The wife’s Nordic roots also inspired choices such as the Josef Frank fabrics on throw pillows and chairs, and the birch Secto Design light fixtures.

Outside, the couple tapped landscape architects Ryan Vugteveen and Jane Lanter to craft their immediate surroundings. Luis had determined where decking, limestone patios, a cold-plunge pool and a spa would rest in the landscape. Vugteveen and Lanter then took his visions to the next level by determining their precise locations and how each space would interact with the surroundings. For the plantings, Vugteveen and Lanter looked to the wilderness and selected a palette of mostly native plants. The turf lawn’s fescue sod was selected for its low water needs and because, when left unmown, it lies in whorls that lend the impression of movement. And around the aspen trees and shrubs that ring the house, the duo sowed seeds for local grasses. “The homeowners appreciated the intrinsic qualities of their land and did not need it to become a garden,” explains Vugteveen. “They understood the beauty of embracing a less manicured ruggedness.”

The landscape architecture team also incorporated boulders, slicing some in half to turn them into benches and placing others in aesthetically pleasing spots. Working with The Landscape Workshop, Inc., Vugteveen and Lanter designed substantial stone steps—custom-cut from the same granite as on the façade—leading down to the riverbank. Which, in essence, brought the project full circle: It’s now easier and even more compelling than ever to grab a rod and stroll down for a fly-fishing session.

A window seat in the entryway of this Woody Creek abode was crafted using wood from the original house. For an interior granite wall, architect Luis Menendez and builders Mike Simpson and Ryan McGovern intentionally left drill marks exposed to display craftsmanship from the quarrying process.

In the living room, designer Nasrin Nourian Menendez refinished and upholstered a vintage Widdicomb Furniture Company sofa set with Nobilis’ Velours Calder from Kneedler Fauchère and piping from Samuel & Sons. The wool rug was sourced via Integral Thread and the pendants are Secto Design.

Four steps down from the home’s sauna, an outdoor spa flanked by bamboo decking and limestone flooring takes advantage of river views through a gap in the tree line. A balance of native grasses and perennials helps blend the hardscape into the surroundings.
