Something Old, Something New

Layers of warmth and character imbue a Sagaponack farmhouse with unconventional flavor.

It’s all clean lines and ocean breezes at a Montauk hideaway built for simple pleasures.

A designer couple’s considered oasis proves great gardens come in small packages.

Tucked away in the Lanes, a family home honors its modest environs in luxurious fashion.

ON THE COVER: In the all-season sun room of this Sagaponack farmhouse, architect Stephen Potters designed floor-to-ceiling windows, whose frames designer Brittany Bromley painted Railings by Farrow & Ball to enunciate the views. Thanks to raised custom sofas and an expandable corner antique table, the room transforms easily into a fun dining space. Pattern play through armchairs upholstered in a Fermoie fabric and Hodsoll McKenzie-covered poufs add whimsy. Page 138

Dive Right In

Our annual Hamptons issue lands just in time this season. We’re feeling a sense of liberation and personal freedom as everything out east starts to open up...and evolve. As towns transform from summer weekend retreats to yearround residences, there’s an abundance of fresh design and culture to see and experience. In this issue, we visit new art outposts, check in with makers and architecture preservationists, and hear from designers about what they are most looking forward to this season. We also have a fab lineup of home design inspiration, from a relaxed Montauk hideaway to a Sagaponack farmhouse and an Amagansett getaway done in a simple palette of natural woods. Take the plunge into our pages...and luxuriate!

RISING TIDE CASSI NAMODA

A peek inside the studio and upon the latest works by Cassi Namoda reveals a reverence for the sea. It’s an inescapable influence for the artist, who ultimately put down roots in East Hampton, finding comfort in its tides, which recall the coast of her native Mozambique. “My favorite thing is to walk the shore and see the ebbs of the ocean,” she says. “It’s very special and will usually reveal itself in my work.” Portrayed across The sun has not yet burned off the dew (a suite of arresting paintings for a solo exhibit at Mendes Wood in São Paulo), figures from conjoined twins to ritual bathers walk fuchsia shores. Here, Namoda shares the East End routine that keeps her grounded, inspired and elevating her art. 7:30 a.m. Start with the Wake Up Vinyasa at Mandala Yoga Center for Healing Arts in Amagansett. 9 a.m. Cycle to my favorite beach, Two Mile Hollow, where I swim and take long walks with my chocolate Labrador, Montana. 11 a.m. Stop into Carissa’s Bakery for an iced matcha latte and the rye bread with caraway seeds.

2 p.m. Digestive stroll to Amagansett to check out the elegantly curated fashions at Tiina the Store before heading back to my studio. 6 p.m. End the day with one last swim at beautiful Napeague beach. 7:30 p.m. Dinner at Coche Comedor, which has a fun vibe and excellent Mexican food. Bonus: What feels like the biggest luxury of all is picking my own vegetables at Quail Hill Farms. In the summertime, I keep life simple and sweet.

SAFE KEEPING

HAMPTONS 20 CENTURY MODERN

DESIGN

“The idea is to offer access to relatively obscure architectural gems hiding in plain sight,” shares designer Timothy Godbold of the grass roots organization he launched last spring. A Sag Harbor resident of nearly a decade, Godbold was dismayed upon purchasing his own midcentury home to learn there were no protections for the modernist masterpieces of Charles Gwathmey, Norman Jaffe, Andrew Geller and their contemporaries. “I asked around thinking I would discover preservation societies and was told there was nothing of the sort out here—and that if I had an inclination to do something, I better hurry,” he says. Hamptons 20 Century Modern has a baseline goal of conservancy and awareness for these dwindling treasures—but looking ahead, Godbold is dreaming big. “The fundamentals of Palm Springs Modernism Week—architectural lectures, vintage shopping, house tours—could be easily translated for this area,” he posits. “Hamptons residents are notoriously private, but I think if we build a following and get on people’s radar, anything is possible.” hamptons20centurymodern.org

MAN ABOUT TOWN What began as an earnest wish to surround himself with pieces emblematic of his practice prompted an organic evolution at Glenn Ban’s new East Hampton office. In addition to serving as HQ for his interior design and special projects, the space now represents a considered selection of American makers and vintage pieces, all shoppable by appointment. Here, Ban reveals his unique approach to curating Hamptons style. glennban.com Studio faves: Lawson-Fenning furniture, Stone and Sawyer, Danny Kaplan and Dumais Made lighting, photography by Barry Balczun, beautiful pottery by Ceramicah and Rosario Varela—and more. Vintage hot spots: Beall and Bell and White House Farm—both on the North Fork—are my go-tos for great finds, as is Antiques Center Southampton. Can’t resist: Stools! You can use them as an accent piece anywhere, or layer them on top of tables to build a display. They’re economical, an easy commitment and extremely versatile. Collector’s mantra: Whatever you buy should be in its most authentic form. When things are manipulated, they lose their essence. For me, it’s less about where a piece came from, and more that the form and finish feel true. On trend: Wallpaper is huge. I’m seeing fewer white walls these days— it’s all about florals and patterns, and layers of color and texture. Hamptons timeless: Crisp beadboard and natural fibers. A seagrass rug is always classic.

BUDDING TALENT ARTHUR GOLABEK

A floral designer with a penchant for found objects, Arthur Golabek’s two passions beautifully collide in his new East Hampton shop and studio. There, he lovingly creates arrangements, sells vintage wares and choreographs tabletop tableaus for clients and party planners. While he personally leans toward an English style of arranging, where things are loose, mixed and “where each flower has its own place and feels special,” when it comes to clients, he looks to their home’s interiors to inform his individualized approach. For a modern abode, a clean single flower arrangement is the ticket. For a more rustic space, perhaps something relaxed á la a Dutch still life. And for what’s surely going to be a busy entertaining season, Golabek wants you to remember these tablescape fundamentals: keep blooms low (as to not interfere with conversation) and scentless (as to not distract from the food). arthurgolabek.com

HANG TEN Sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch like to flex their creative muscles. The siblings own, operate and curate Hidden Gem, the Jobs Lane brick-and-mortar destination ripe with tabletop goods, fashion finds, art, jewelry and home accessories. They make many items on the shelves themselves (Tanya has a background in fine art; Temidra in textiles), such as beaded bracelets and tie-dye napkins. But what’s sure to grace walls all along the East End (like the new Breakers Montauk hotel, for example) are their eye-catching range of customizable surfboards. “You don’t have to be a surfer to have this piece,” says Tanya. Really, you just have to find

040

LUXESOURCE.COM

inspiration from your surroundings, which is how the surfboards came to be in the first place: The sisters had begun experimenting with colorful, marbleized canvases when they spotted a Jeep Wrangler with a coral surfboard hanging out the back. This prompted them to try the technique on a new object. The wooden board forms are cut and sanded by their brother, Jari, after which Tanya and Temidra meticulously mix and marble paint colors—the ideal consistency is similar to pancake batter—and carefully hand pour each organic design before they get their shiny resin coat, and head off for a lucky home. hiddengemny.com

BARN PARTY

DESIGN

FRAMPTON CO

When the barn next door to designer and art advisor Elena Frampton’s Bridgehampton cottage became available, Frampton saw it as an opportunity to expand her Manhattan gallery space, Exhibition, to the Hamptons. “We don’t check the typical boxes of white cube gallery or showhouse,” she says. Below, Frampton breaks down what the hybrid space is all about. framptonco.com What’s behind the barn doors? A little of everything! The work runs the gamut from art to design and the in-between, and likewise across medium, style and era. Emerging and mid-career artists like Nick Missel are in conversation with iconic works of art and design like Wendell Castle. How can aesthete-seekers experience The Barn? The Barn is active year-round. Our Winter Show was an inspirational refuge. When possible, we host events and partners in the space, including our Salon Series program, which welcomes guests into the galleries for intimate conversations. It’s about creating context for the work, while connecting with and expanding our community.

MAKER’S MARK Of the many words to denote Justin Allen’s design company, synergy is a good one. At Shepard Co’s core, synergy between client and maker, form and function, and material relationships is paramount. Whether dreaming up custom furniture or getting in on the ground floor of an interiors project, Allen and his crew of highly technical craftspeople put design integrity and coaction first. It’s within his studio and workshop in the Springs (an area of the Hamptons he felt connected to in an “ancestral way”), where they problem solve—like how to incorporate work-from-home nuances in an aesthetically pleasing way— and where they rethink materiality. “I’ve always related deeply to materials; exploring what they can and should be,” says Allen, who works with metals, woods and cement-based casting, to name a few. Of the custom furniture commissions he’s received of late, beds, bar cabinets and desks are on the assembly line—and indicative of the times. As for Shepard Co’s next symbiotic chapter, a collective of fellow makers and designers is in the works. “Being able to design for your community and create what’s needed…it’s a nice way to spend your time,” he says. shepardcodesign.com

ONE STOP SHOP RALPH LAUREN HOME

DESIGN

Whether the order of the day is a last-minute hostess gift or a coveted design update, Ralph Lauren’s new Southampton Home Cottage is the spot to scout. Adjacent to the perfectly styled windows of the Jobs Lane storefront, a bricklined garden path leads to a whitewashed outbuilding with everything from crisp bedding that riffs off the brand’s classic Oxford shirts, to unabashedly preppy madras textiles, graphic beach towels, crystal barware and more. While pieces from the new Summer Hill collection (très Hamptons-chic) are currently on display, the cottage plans to transform seasonally, celebrating new Ralph Lauren Home lifestyle collections. A Ralph’s Coffee trike parked out front and offering complimentary cold brew adds incentive, but if a visit isn’t in the cards just yet, “step inside” online and enjoy the charming ambience through the store’s RL Virtual Experience. ralphlaurenhome.com

DESIGN ESCAPE With a mission of aggregating the best Brazilian designers and artisans sharing similar ideals on sustainability and social change, Heritage Brazil has planted roots in Southampton. The brainchild of husbands and wives founders, Michel Benarroch & Lilian Vianna and Alessandro & Tathiana Teixeir, the showroom highlights a thrilling mix of furnishings and accessories by talents like Sergio J. Matos, Flavio Franco and Paulo Alvez. Notes Alessandro, “Our motivation is to stir emotions with pieces that showcase human touch and the stories behind them.” heritagebrazil.com

GATHERING GROUNDS THE CHURCH

When strolling Madison Street in Sag Harbor, stop and appraise its onceshuttered Methodist church with fresh eyes. Under the vision of owners and artists, Eric Fischl and April Goralnick, along with Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership, who oversaw its top-to-bottom restoration, the historic structure has been reconceived as a creative mecca. With an artist residency program, ample exhibition space and a public garden, The Church is designed as a holistic center devoted to continuing the village’s proud legacy as a makers’ community. Kicking off the season is “Road Rage,” a show devoted to disparate artists’ interpretations of the automobile—with much more in store. sagharborchurch.org

ENTERTAINING

Life’s a Beach THE BEST TABLE IN TOWN IS A BESPOKE PICNIC BY THIS MOTHER-DAUGHTER DESIGN TRIO. W R I T T E N A N D P R O D U C E D BY G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY N I C O S C H I N C O

Rugs, pillows and low-slung picnic tables up the comfort factor at Destination Haus-designed fêtes.

On a foggy morning last May, Kendra and Carlyn Vellante loaded their car and drove to a secluded Montauk beach to shoot their summer lookbook. The concept: an opulent picnic to showcase the latest wares from Destination Haus, the luxury home boutique they run alongside their mother, Laureen. Admiring their handiwork at wrap, the sisters texted a few friends: Would they care to come down and enjoy the beautiful, socially-distanced setup? Kendra photographed the scene not anticipating

that her Instagram post would go viral and that a thriving franchise would be born— one that would buoy the family business through an unprecedented retail season. Designing and delivering bespoke picnics proved a natural pivot for Destination Haus, which sells custom-crafted dinnerware, vintage glasses, soft goods and tabletop accents amongst their inventory. Their Montauk shop now does double function as a showroom (bulk items are stored at an offsite warehouse), and the ladies drilled down on their globally curated ethos, introducing destination-driven picnics. “Last summer, we had a client who had planned a trip to Capri to propose to his soon-to-be fiancé,” offers Kendra. “So we brought Capri to them with a lemon yellow-themed, Italian-style concept.” For their second summer of picnicking, the

trio has upped the ante, partnering with local catering company Hamptons Aristocrat on destination menus and adding a full-time chef to their “in-haus” services. “It’s almost like we’re an event production company now,” laughs Laureen, whose ethereal fine art photography is available exclusively through Destination Haus’ art wing. While a happenstance of Covid-19, there’s a timelessness to picnics that harmonizes with the shop’s emphasis on handmade goods from craftspeople around the world—a quality that brings Carlyn back to her days studying art history in college, where the alfresco tableaus of the French Impressionists left a lasting mark. “There’s something magical about a picnic,” she says. “Our clients feel that romance, too—like they’re in a moving picture.”

White floors and walls set the scene for a riot of colors, patterns and textures, spanning vintage and contemporary, in Katie Leede’s Sag Harbor shop.

Global Glam Katie Leede & Co.

“Shops are great stages for personal dreaming,” says Katie Leede of the inspiration behind her namesake store in Sag Harbor. “I’ve always wanted to have

my own shop because I’ve benefited from so many great ones. And not just because you find inspiring things, but because they’re a real nexus for community.” A handwritten “for-rent” sign tacked to the window of the former Ruby Beets offered a divine nudge for Leede to take the leap, and the result is a sunny floorthrough layered with color, pattern and perspective. There are vintage furnishings and new upholstered pieces in kicky prints. There are overscale Italian lamps and shades made of Indian saris. There’s local artwork, contemporary dinnerware and libraries of Leede’s own fabric and wallpaper designs. And who could miss the carpets (which number in the tens of thousands between the shop, a storage unit in the Springs and her widespread network of vendors), ranging from midcentury Scandinavian flat weaves to Indian palace dhurries.

There’s “a conversation here between old and new that’s fresh, fun and easy to live with,” says Leede. “Nothing is perfect, but it’s colorful and comfortable.” It’s a mix that harmonizes with her approach to residential design, where “highly personalized, cozy homes that reflect individual style” are always the goal. As the Hamptons tiptoes into gathering again, the shop hopes to host book signings, artist meet-and-greets and fashion pop-ups in its garden, harking back to Leede’s belief in shop-as-connector. It’s the same thread that tethers her to a favorite branch of the business: “I think I was a Bedouin in the last life,” she says. “I love rolling out carpets and talking to people about their homes— there’s something about that exchange of human energy. I feel very connected to the culture of these pieces; to these amazing, hardworking people all over the world; to this slipstream of history.”

Collected Caché Jetsam Studio

When Quinn Pofahl decided to open a Southampton studio, he looked to maritime law to distill his modus operandi. “Flotsam and jetsam is an old rule of admiralty,” he explains. “Jetsam means that if you find it, it’s yours to keep.” Pofahl’s talent for the hunt has translated into an exquisite array of vintage furnishings and lighting (with an emphasis of French modernist designs of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s), one-of-a-kind accessories and a rotating cast of fine art in partnership with JHB Gallery. “I often say I have everything from a Royere console to an American folk art popsicle basket,” he laughs, adding, “Somehow, it all kind of hangs together.”

LUXESOURCE.COM

Finding rare pieces is a favorite pursuit for the designer and collector—and one he’s delighted to see a growing appetite for. “After being cooped up in a catalogue world, I think people are drawn to uniqueness and the artist’s hand,” he says. “You might think clients here would want beachy-this or coastal-that, but I’m finding that’s not true. For example, I recently brought out this solid black and textured painting. I didn’t know what the response would be, but it has gotten a ton of attention.” Looking ahead, Pofahl plans to introduce artist showings and furniture exhibitions where the genius of French designers like Pierre Chapo, Henry Jacques Le Même and René-Jean Caillette can be enjoyed within a contemporary context. But on any given

Distilled in his Southampton studio, Quinn Pofahl’s curation blends a clean, contemporary ethos with distinctive artworks and iconic French designs of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s.

Tuesday, you’ll find Pofahl simply enjoying his jetsam—such as a pair of tough-looking Brutalist leather chairs from the south of France, works from artist Amanda Means’ “Folded and Crushed” series and faux bois vessels by Minnesota-based potter Joe Christensen. “They’re hand-carved and glazed in bronze so that they look like steel,” he says. “I’m so in love with them that I think they’re coming home with me.”

A trestle table in Elizabeth Eichner’s sunlit Amagansett shop displays a refined yet approachable array of makerdriven wares sourced around the globe.

Artisan Edit E-E Home

Plaited bulrush place mats and baskets from England. Iron garden trowels hand-forged in Japan. Pure white sea salt harvested off the Welsh island of Anglesey. These and other discoveries inspirit Elizabeth Eichner’s jewel-box shop in Amagansett. For the former set stylist, sourcing such storied, small-batch luxuries is a lifelong passion: “I’ve always looked for things that are interesting or artisan-driven,” she says. “And it felt like there was a niche out here to introduce items with function that were also beautifully executed, and that had an intrinsic connection to their maker.” Set against a framework of pale gray wainscoting, white oak floors and Shaker peg rails, Eichner’s finely honed edit of artisanal wares, pantry staples, textiles and vintage treasures—an ethos she describes as “a cross between Scandinavian, Japanese and my own Anglo-Saxon roots”—beckons shoppers

of all stripes. (Emblematic of the warm and welcoming mood, Eichner’s Welsh terrier, Daltrey, can be found sunning himself by the window.) “I wanted a shop where people could drop in for a box of English Champagne truffles on their way to a dinner party, or to come in and outfit their whole home,” she says. In fitting Hamptons fashion, cocktail-hour accoutrements flew off the shelves during Eichner’s first season in business. English crystal and one-of-a-kind pottery dishes for dips and appetizers were heavy hitters, she shares, adding, “last September, I think we sold more caviar servers than any other store in the country!” This summer, beach-ready goods (think: Swedish enamelware; canvas safari-style folding stools and benches) join the mix—as do a growing number of exclusive maker collaborations in E-E Home’s signature cobalt blue. “For me,” she says, “it all comes back to telling a story— setting a mood, setting the table and having only the things you love around you.”

CAROL KURTH ARCHITECTURE + INTERIORS 914.234.2595 | carolkurtharchitects.com |

carolkurth

From the soaring skyline to the sweeping vistas of the countryside, Architect and Interior Designer Carol Kurth, FAIA ASID’s perspective is informed by seeing the world through the lens of design. From the natural environment to the architecturally iconic skyline of the city—form, structure and light spark creativity for the native New Yorker. It’s easy to see why, when asked how New York City fits into the global design scene, her immediate response is, “Isn’t New York City the center for the design world? New York is a destination year-round—art, culture and commerce—all at the intersection of design.” From monuments unmatched in their sentiment and artistry, to legendary museums and hidden passageways that spur imagination, Kurth is inspired by the layered urban backdrop of Manhattan. Drawing creative energy from the vitality of the city and her travels, it is reflected throughout her portfolio of work. “More than ever, people have the need to live, work and play from home, which has evolved a new paradigm for New York City living, with architecture as a backdrop for living, interiors an inspiration for lifestyle,” shares Kurth.

At the center of bucolic, historic Bedford, NY, Carol Kurth Architecture + Interiors has made its mark in the architecture and interior design realms with projects from urban to coastal, vertical living to bucolic country estates. “I grew up in Manhattan’s Hudson Heights with spectacular views of the Palisades, majestic cliffs —these soaring cliffs impacted me creatively with rugged topography,” shares Kurth. While she has projects in many locations, the architect and designer calls her Bedford storefront studio “home” and always appreciates a cliffside project with challenging terrain.

THE DESIGN WEEKENDER Kurth shares the highlights of a busy New Yorker’s Saturday. • Exploration is key to inspiration, with time being the true luxury —affording opportunities to explore the excitement and energy of the city. •W alking NYC is the best way to explore, appreciating how from one moment to the next you can feel the different cultures and neighborhoods link the city in a visual tapestry. •M oMA, The Met and Cloisters are my go-to destinations that spur imagination and take me back to my roots, growing up in Manhattan. •S pontaneity is part of my love for New York—always something unexpected around the corner (day or night!)— whether it’s a pop-up venue, discovering a new art gallery or an architectural wonder of the city. •T he evening is all about unwinding with fabulous food [pizza or fine dining] that celebrates the ambiance, artistry and flavors that make up New York City.

“New York City does not ‘fit into’ the global design scene. It is the global design scene.”

HANDPICKED HAPPENINGS These are Morgan’s top two events of the year. • Kips Bay Decorator Show House: The exhibition of talent and products is a thrill for any design lover to experience. This is my most beloved event of the year by far! •H ousing Works’ Design on a Dime: Designers create one-of-a-kind vignettes from donated merchandise that is then sold off in a cocktail party/ mad shopping frenzy. I’ve witnessed some pretty juicy showdowns over a lampshade!

When Sarah Morgan drove from North Carolina into New York City in 2001, she had no job lined up, no prospects, but bucket loads of determination and high hopes running through her fearless veins. Today, she’s a design specialist at Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, which opened its first showroom in the city a decade ago and, as Morgan tells it, has a nationwide presence but a tight-knit team. “We are almost like our own little small-town family, which makes me feel right at home, given my country roots.” But what is it about New York City? “I would love to answer this, but it would take me forever,” she says. “To quote Browning, ‘How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!’ It’s a monumental love affair … ” And while recent challenges have tested the design industry as a whole, that same passion for place has, she says, inspired inventiveness, resourcefulness and perseverance in The Big Apple.

“After waking up around 10 or 11, I’ll putter around with my iced coffee before doing a 30-minute Peloton ride,” Morgan says of her ideal Saturday. “Then, I’d head to the park with my husband for a game of picnicstyle Scrabble. Next, we’d pick up ingredients from our favorite Italian store, Agata & Valentina, make dinner at home and watch Saturday Night Live.”

“Day and night, in every season, there are intriguing and important things happening in Greater New York.”

AT HOME IN GREENWICH Just a short drive from the city, there is Greenwich, Connecticut. It’s a town with a centuries-old tradition of distinguished architecture, and a home base for those who would rather commute to their skyscraper jobs than live in the middle of the action. All of that makes it the ideal place for Hilton. “We have been located here, downtown, for the past three decades,” Hilton says. “I have found Greenwich a perfect spot to pursue both projects in Manhattan and country estates throughout New England. There are seemingly endless showrooms and skilled industry partners to help us execute our most ambitious creations.” If the projects in the firm’s book, Classic Greenwich Houses, are any indication, the community has been a boon indeed.

CHARLES HILTON ARCHITECTS 203.489.3800 | hiltonarchitects.com |

From Art Deco and Greek Revival, to neoclassical and federal, the range of design genres visible on a single street block in New York City makes it something of an architect’s playground. At least, that’s how Charles Hilton feels. “The sheer scale and vibrancy of the city is always impressive,” he says. “It has such a unique and interesting combination of aesthetics, unlike anywhere else in the world. I find so much inspiration from walking amongst the buildings.” Born and raised in New Jersey, Hilton often visited the city as a child and fell in love with it. Asked to discuss the future of its many boroughs, Hilton utters a phrase one feels may be a mantra for the locals: “ready for a rebound.” “A resurgence is underway,” he goes on. “While some parts of the city are showing more activity than others, everyone seems ready to re-engage and anxious to resume their projects and move forward.”

PORT OF PASSION “I seek inspiration along the water,” Hilton says. “From the shores of Long Island Sound, to Massachusetts and Maine, I love our region’s coastal places.” When he’s out of the office, he can be found there, too. “My wife and I love to start our weekend days with a walk along Fivemile River in Rowayton.”

“New York City draws the brightest design talents from all over the world.”

UPPING THE FOOTAGE The offices of Elissa Grayer Interior Design are located in a beautiful suburban area of Westchester, where Grayer wanted to enroll her daughters in school. Some years later, the spot is core to a niche for which the firm is known. “I find that my experience creating a home here after life in the city is relevant and helpful for my clients doing the same,” Grayer says. “Imagine leaving a twobedroom apartment on the Upper West Side and having to furnish a large suburban home. It can be overwhelming!”

Upon being asked to consider that which gives New York City its magic, Elissa Grayer reflects on the quiet opportunities to take it all in. “Sometimes it’s the simple things that remind me why I love the city so much,” she says. “A recent walk from 100th Street down Riverside Drive took me back to one of my first homes here, and the energy of those walking in the bright green parks was so vibrant and optimistic.” In other words, it’s a feeling the place possesses and seems to instill in each member of the community. As for how Grayer and her team at Elissa Grayer Interior Design bring a complementary presence to their clients’ spaces, art holds the key. “Be it in a deeply layered Manhattan apartment or a light and bright Sagaponack beach house, on a compact gallery wall or veritable exhibit of white space, I find that fine art is an element which translates beautifully,” she says.

For many, New York City and its surrounding hamlets have long exercised an almost inexplicable, enigmatic pull. Grayer emphasizes the power of place it holds: “I am constantly inspired by the global influences that permeate our community. My dearest friends in the industry hail from Asia, India, Northern Europe and Africa. All of them have found a home here and bring new perspectives to life through their aesthetics, which, in turn, influence my own work.”

It seems a similar answer comes from anyone who is asked to describe New York City: “There is no place like it!” This also rings true for iconic design destination The New York Design Center, located at 200 Lexington Avenue. The utterance is ubiquitous—“The city is both gritty and pristine, hard and soft, fast-paced and relaxing—all at the same time,” says Jim Druckman, president and CEO of The New York Design Center. “It’s hard to describe, so perhaps the best words are just, ‘It’s like nothing else!’” The New York Design Center was designed by architect Ely Jacques Kahn and built in 1926 as the New York Furniture Exchange. Such fitting roots have informed the essence of

It’s no secret that New York City is a style setter in nearly every industry. When it comes to design, 200 Lex is an establishment at the heart of it all. “We host many not-to-be-missed events through-out the year, but What’s New, What’s Next is always the biggest local celebration of design,” Druckman says. “It includes more than 65 programs, with hundreds of product introductions and more than 100 design ambassadors.” This year, WNWN: Future Forward will take place from September 20 through October 1. For more information visit nydc.com/events.

This is a place where rich history meets forward movement.”

While Arte has showrooms in Paris, London and Los Angeles, its New York City location has a penchant to inform all the rest. “Each city has traits that make it unique, but we find that the New York market has an energy unparalleled,” says Philippe Desart, CEO of the luxury wallcoverings company. “The pace of new development is unique in the United States, and the design community here has an international clientele that is unrivaled in the world. Taken together, these factors create a perfect environment for really bold, risk-taking design.” While on the subject, he also notes that the resilience of New York is “famous for a reason.” Desart observes design pros and their clients embracing the moment, using the past year as a catalyst for beautiful creations that push boundaries and showcase the city’s global style inclinations. “We are watching them make daring, unexpected choices.”

“On any given day, there is so much culture and inspiration to soak in.”

What is it about New York City? According to Gary Ciuffo, “There is a rich blending of diverse cultures and a constant drive of innovation and creativity. It’s a place where anything is possible.” He would know, having been born and raised on Long Island, where he now acts as owner of his 100-plus-year-old family business. Since 1907, Ciuffo Cabinetry has served clients throughout the Greater New York region, and when asked to discuss the state of design at the moment, Gary points to a shift in priorities and preferences. “The kitchen is valued more than ever as of late,” he shares. “With that has come a larger budget allowance for all of the new and emerging materials, finishes and products. Contemporary, modern and industrial styles are trending, with demand for stained woods and metals rising. As this trickles into areas like the Hamptons, we’re seeing transitional interpretations that marry them to the classic local aesthetic.”

KICK BACK IN THE KITCHEN When the weekend rolls around, Gary is likely to spend some quiet time in his office catching up on work, but once that’s done, it’s time to cook, taste, serve. “As a kitchen designer, I appreciate how joyful it can be to prepare a delicious meal in a functional, well-designed kitchen space,” he says. “So, whether I’m exploring a new restaurant or cooking at home, it is the perfect way to unwind.”

DENNIS MILLER NEW YORK 212.684.0070 | dennismiller.com |

Having moved to Long Island with his wife in 2015, Orlansky understands the appeal driving a new trend: Many city dwellers are splitting more time between their action-centric bases and waterfront Hamptons retreats. How does this impact design? “Designers have been finding unique ways of expanding on their looks out into the Hamptons,” Orlansky says. “Generally, those country homes are more elaborate, with large kitchens, high ceilings, wood beams and character.”

From their furniture and accessories showroom’s perch in the New York Design Center at 200 Lexington Avenue, Justin Orlansky and his team at Dennis Miller New York have a bird’s-eye view of the area’s aesthetic leanings. So, what’s their take on the state of things? “The classics never left, but you could say they’re having a comeback of sorts. Whether in a New York City apartment or a sprawling Hamptons estate, our clients are recognizing the beauty, peace and, in some ways, sense of security that tradition imbues in a place,” Orlansky says. “Lately, people are less inclined to be challenged by edgy and out-there design.” But that doesn’t mean creativity is any less boundless— not in the world of New Yorkers. “I have noticed more and more artisans are mixing materials in surprising ways,” Orlansky continues. “They are also designing with lots of shapes and curves.”

Thus, few people would have better insight on the condition of the boroughs and their local creative happenings. She weighs in: “The design community in New York City is resolute in its efforts to keep fresh and invigorating. The industry doesn’t get stale in its endeavors to create. It never ceases to push the envelope, and the respect for the environment as we do that has also been impressive and, I hope, influential.” Despite the challenges the area’s design pros continue to experience— notably, the lack of access to materials as of late—it seems they persevere, as New Yorkers do.

It rests in proximity to mass transit to New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut—an ideal gobetween. The primary office also has a retail storefront, which invites the team to crosscollaborate with clients in a fun environment.

hirshson_architecture_design

How does New York City fit into the global design scene? Well, according to Scott Hirshson, “It doesn’t. It stands on its own.” The principal of namesake Hirshson Architecture + Design, which has grown amid the backdrop of the Greater New York region since its inception, goes on to discuss the past year’s shifts. “The strength and resilience of the community as a whole facilitated each step of a safe return to design and construction. You cannot stop the drive of designers in New York to explore new ideas, materials and ways of implementing design. On the client side of things, the pandemic inspired many to evaluate their priorities for their homes. Therefore, we’re digging deeper into understanding the dynamics of a family and its pets.” The resulting residences boast customized floor plans and selections that reflect the needs and personalities of the end users more than ever.

“Relationships make New York City unique. Mutual connections and past projects spur creative energy between trades.”

From the floral to the refined, Korek’s influences manifest themselves in how she approaches and designs a space, resulting in the varied portfolio of projects she’s completed. “I love traveling, but I am always grateful to call the Greater New York area home,” Korek says. “We bring with us the world of goods and then shape it to our clients’ needs.”

The Greater New York region has always been a place that embraces innovation and welcomes growing pains. As of late, this has been on full display. At least according to Michael Daddio, principal of artisan builder M. Daddio, Inc. “The industry has been incredibly busy, as we focus on optimizing the work-from-home process and complete projects that do the same for our clients,” he says. “The business is improving rapidly in terms of design and construction, and we are happy to be a part of that.” And indeed, they are at the center of the action. Recently, M. Daddio, Inc. completed a project at the legendary, 27-story One Fifth Avenue. “Constructed in 1927, the Greenwich Village landmark is at once modern and Art Deco, stoic, yet elegant and approachable,” Michael says. M. Daddio allowed this beautiful pre-war building’s bones to not only shine, but be celebrated.

They also maintain their identity as a Big Apple brand, with a showroom in the ever-beloved Decoration & Design Building on Third Avenue. The prime location is a boon for their designer clientele, who are knee-deep in the Walters inventory as of late. With outdoor living being more of a focus than perhaps ever before, Walters’ collections of designforward pieces in every size, shape, style and shade are certainly in demand this New York minute.

Top Ethimo’s Eivissa pavilions, designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, breathe life into a new way of living outdoors. Walters is the exclusive US distributor for Ethimo. Left Designed by Clodagh for Walters, More Comfort is a brandnew indoor-outdoor collection that exudes the same holistic wellness sensibilities seen in Clodagh’s iconic spas. Right “These pieces indulge the senses, support the soul and provide a place for dreaming,” says Marcel Wanders of his Reverie collection for Walters.

“For the house to become personal, the architecture has to get out of the way”

- James Merrell, Principal

This may not be the typical or expected design philosophy for an architecture firm, but James Merrell Architects is anything but typical. Led by the company’s namesake, James Merrell, this talented team is transforming the industry with their unique approach to residential design and construction. While others may disagree, Merrell believes that involving the client in the design process is integral to the success of a project. “Houses aren’t commodities – they’re personal. The client’s contribution to the conversation about the design is so important, and leads to the elements that make the house meaningful not only to the homeowner, but to the world.” Merrell’s unique philosophy may be attributed to his background in history and the arts, but has undoubtedly guided him throughout his 30+ year awardwinning career. Today, James Merrell Architects boasts an impressive portfolio of incredible residences imagined from the firm’s home-base in Sag Harbor, NY. A true testament to his success, Merrell adds, “Clients never sell our houses.” James Merrell Architects has accomplished the perfect balance between hearing their clients and creating noteworthy architecture. “We design things that you don’t even know you want, but by being a part of the process, you discover the realm of what is possible.” jamesmerrellarchitects.com | 631.725.9842 | Sag Harbor, NY

ummers in the Hamptons are what dreams are made of—sunlit days relaxing by the water that segue into evening gatherings lasting late into the night. It’s a true escape for many New Yorkers, including finance professional Raleigh Nuckols and interventional radiologist Cash Horn. But this pair wanted more than just a summer house. They desired a respite to enjoy all year-round, be it the glory days of the high season or the bleakest stretches of Manhattan winter. So, upon their purchase of a rambling farmhouse in Sagaponack, they turned to designer Brittany Bromley to create something “warm and comfortable and different from our neutral city apartment,” says Raleigh. That’s not to say they sought a classically Hamptons look. “They wanted to have colors that felt like you would be just as happy there in January as you would be in July,” the designer explains. Texture and pattern play were similarly key to crafting an all-season ethos, especially in the double-height living area. “It was very difficult to imagine how it would ever feel cozy, because it’s such a cavernous room,” Bromley says. Her clever solution? To clad the walls in a soft yet dramatic faux bois wallcovering—a move that, admittedly, made Raleigh and Cash nervous at first. “We thought, “Oh my gosh! How are we going to have such massive amounts of wall covered in something patterned or textured?’ ” says Raleigh. “But Brittany was 100 percent right. That was the number one thing that warmed up the space.” There and throughout, Bromley took to the walls to craft a homey, curated-over-the-years feel. A blue-and-cream patterned wallpaper greets guests upon arrival in the foyer, grass cloth lends a South Asian vibe in the main bedroom and a high-gloss green paint adds old-school romance to the library (a room where the couple loves to curl up and watch movies). That Bromley had an artfully-conceived home to outfit is thanks to the efforts of now-retired architect Stephen Potters—along with his project team of Ruth Gyuse, Vanessa Ah-Chuen and

Kathy Bahk, and general contractor Anthony Kasmarcik—who oversaw its top-to-bottom renovation, which included transforming the kitchen and bathrooms, overhauling flow from room to room throughout, and building out living quarters above the garage. That said intervention was meant to house a luxurious guest suite only underscores the fact that the couple sought a home to share with others. Consummate entertainers, they wanted their future procession of visitors to feel comfortable and welcome. “They’re intrepid travelers and have tons of friends from all over the world. There are always interesting people over,” notes Bromley. The lush backyard—a summertime hot spot—got a full blitz, too. “The house didn’t take advantage of the property that surrounds it,” says Raleigh. “We opened up the back, moved the pool so it was more proximate to the house and cleared some of the forest area.” Meanwhile, lending provenance off the rear, Potters “created a covered porch with a deck above, which brings the inside out. One of the main goals was to make the space feels as if it continues, both physically and visually,” explains the architect. A popular spot for lunches by the pool, Cash and Raleigh happily dub that back porch their “favorite place to be.” Still, outside isn’t the only place to come together and enjoy the idyllic setting. Crafting an ambient indoor oasis, Potters winterized an all-season sun room, replacing one wall with floor-to-ceiling windows whose trim Bromley painted black to boldly frame the views. An airy lounge by day, by evening, the space transforms into a whimsical dining room thanks to a library table that expands with built-in petal leaves. “Brittany had the couches raised, so they’re the proper height for the table,” shares Raleigh. “We can pull them up like banquettes.” “There are so many interesting moments in this house,” adds Bromley. “It feels to me like a home that was layered in over time, and that’s really my favorite kind of project.” But more than anything she credits the success of the design to the spirit of her clients. “A home feels warm and personal because the people who live there are warm and personal,” she says. “And that is Cash and Raleigh.”


“When I think about my best memories of the house,” says homeowner Raleigh Nuckols, “it’s spending time by the pool with friends, the music going and a couple bottles of rosé.” RH chaises shaded by Tuuci umbrellas and an RH dining set provide plenty of spaces to relax with guests amidst the lush landscaping installed by Hamptons Grounds Care.

Right: Key to designer Brittany Bromley’s brief was making the home feel collected over time. To this end, in the entryway she curated a blend of antiques (the wall art and leopard upholstered ottoman) with new pieces that maintain a classic feel (the Cloth & Kind wallpaper and Fibreworks sisal rug). Opposite: It took a little convincing, but Bromley’s decision to use a Thibaut faux bois wallcovering in the great room proved to be game changing. For a laid-back vibe, Bromley mixed patterns on custom pieces, such as the Cowtan & Tout striped fabric on the ottoman and the Claremont floral on the daybed. The chandelier is Arteriors.

The vintage engravings are from Brittany Bromley Home. Left: “We wanted to do something different in the library,” says Bromley, where she coated the walls in Benjamin Moore’s Essex Green with a high-gloss lacquer overlay. To steer away from the traditional masculine pairing that often comes with dark green—plaids or dark browns—she incorporated a velvet Pindler sofa, an ottoman and pillows in a floral Penny Morrison fabric and swivel chairs in a Kathryn Ireland pattern.

Right: The main bathroom strikes a classic tone with white penny tiles and a Kohler clawfoot tub and pedestal sinks. Vintage notes, like the Moroccan rug and basket pendant coupled with drapes and a recovered stool in an antique textile extend the home’s collected feel. Opposite: In the main bedroom Bromley melded her love of texture with her passion for mustard yellow and delft blue. A Phillip Jeffries grass cloth covers the walls while window treatments of a Bennison floral fabric tie to the throw pillows atop the RH bed. Wicker touches like the twin scalloped stools topped with Schumacher fabric add another layer of warmth.

Guests enter this Montauk residence on the lower level, before ascending to the main living spaces upstairs. To foster a welcoming, warm and beachy vibe, designer Brooke Abrams appointed the space with a bleached oak From Chef to Table console and a lamp from Lulu & Georgia, the latter contrasting with the bleached oak paneling architect Paul Masi chose for the walls.


C

oco Chanel once famously advised looking in the mirror and removing one item before leaving the house. Architect Paul Masi hews to a similarly less-is-more philosophy when it comes to building houses. “The most successful architecture makes the biggest impact with the most minimal means,” he contends—and this residence bears out his thesis. Situated among modestly scaled postwar dwellings, and just across the road from the pristine shores of Hither Hills beach, the structure captures the relaxed mood of Montauk and refrains from overpowering its neighbors either by scale or aesthetics. Achieving that balance, however, required a complex design program. “The property didn’t have a flat side,” Masi explains, and the soil ranged from sandy to rocky. Terracing the house into the landscape and using a series of bluestone retaining walls created the level ground plane. The move also facilitated a floor plan that placed the living spaces and main bedroom upstairs to capture the ocean views, and the guest bedrooms below to directly flow into the landscape. “We had to cut into the hill pretty deep—18 feet for the foundation on the back,” recalls general contractor Keith Romeo, who oversaw the home’s construction. Besides the bluestone used for the retaining walls, Masi opted for just a handful of materials. He chose a warm mahogany decking material for the upper level, using it to wrap the sides of the house in a cohesive blanket. White oak is a similarly unifying force, beginning at the lowerlevel entry where it covers one wall and serves as the foundation of a built-in bench and screen that draws visitors in and up the stairs. It then envelops the primary living area: on the floors, walls and louvers beneath the kitchen skylight. “Each one is on a fabric hinge and when those big doors are pocketed, the wind comes through and begins to move the louvers, casting different patterns and shadows,” Masi says. Realizing the house’s interiors for its new owners had particular resonance, both personally and professionally, for designer Brooke Abrams.

The wife happens to be Abrams’ best friend, and the designer has long admired Masi’s work. “The architecture shaped a lot of my visualization,” she says. “The wife and I have a mutual love for neutral and modern, and here, a neutral palette and the finishes worked extremely well together.” Approaching the open upstairs layout with an intimate understanding of her clients’ lifestyle, Abrams designed a floor plan that caters to carefree evenings in the company of friends. The homeowners love to cook and entertain, so naturally, she positioned the dining area right alongside the kitchen. She collaborated with woodworker Ben Rioux on the cerused oak table, choosing an inky finish that plays off the black metal of the nearby windows. “The clients love this piece,” says Abrams. “It already has so much soul since they use it all the time.” From the louvered skylight above, she hung an Apparatus fixture whose leather sheathing similarly picks up on the dark hardware of the windows. In the adjacent living room, Abrams crafted two separate conversation areas that reflect her passion for mixing neutrals and textures. One space reads more casual with a low-slung sectional in soft linen. “It feels lived-in and works well with the paneled wood wall behind,” she says. While still approachable, the other zone leans slightly more formal with a loveseat covered in a finer, off-white linen. “I love a light sofa and then mixing in an organic-shaped chair,” she says, pointing to the adjacently situated club chairs upholstered in bouclé. A chunky, braided rug and silk-covered pillows add additional plush, textural flourishes, while details like the surfboard-shaped coffee table keep the vibe at the beach. For Abrams, the project was a particularly edifying one. “It’s satisfying to know the spaces I create are enjoyed by the clients,” says Abrams, who has had a front-row seat to watching the couple fall in love with their new home. (She happens to live down the street and was part of their quarantine bubble.) And she counts herself as fortunate to have worked within Masi’s framework. “It was an honor to design this project,” she says. “When you put things into the universe, it’s amazing how they come back to you.”

t’s as cottage as cottage can be,” says landscape designer Alex Chapman of the 1875 home he shares with his partner, designer Zach Motl. “People want to do incredible gardens on Long Island—estate plantings and 200-year-old trees— but ours is left intentionally wild and unkempt. We see what takes and let it go,” he adds. Yet Chapman’s breezy spirit belies the amount of work, done entirely by the couple, that has gone into creating this most delightful of gardens. When Motl purchased the house in 2013, there was little more than lawn, but meeting Chapman in 2015 changed everything. Together they have realized a series of idyllic outdoor “rooms” on less than a third of an acre. “We created zones and it fell into place,” explains Chapman. “You walk through a fence to get to the house, but you can get lost along the way.” Irresistible meanders include the shade garden, where flowering trees shelter hostas and hellebores; a grassy expanse with a pool and sun loungers (rescue dog Ginger’s favorite nap spot); and a gambrel-roof barn-turned-home office surrounded by billowing white hydrangeas. Pathways edged with echinacea and lavender lead to the gravel court’s dining area and raised vegetable beds. (“Having friends over impromptu and making a salad—that’s luxury,” he adds.) And the home’s stone terrace is an equally rewarding destination, it’s vintage-style seating upholstered in black with crisp white piping. “My contribution is more the interiors aspect,” says Motl, who is currently working on projects in Manhattan and Long Island, “but we toggle back and forth, and he’ll help me inside.” “It’s a happy mix,” adds Chapman, who is busy with seasonal refreshes for clients out east and throughout the Bellport area. Coming from Pennsylvania (“You could make pottery from the soil,” he quips), Long Island’s sandy, welldraining variety makes experimentation fun, and by creating a microclimate, cutting garden favorites like dahlias can overwinter in their beds certain years. “It’s cheating, but I like to see what I can make last. This is my lab to see what works and what doesn’t,” says Chapman. And never is there a nicer time to reap their rewards than now. “From late spring to fall, the house expands and we’re outside all the time,” says Motl. In the words of British gardener Monty Don, an inspirational figure for the couple, “Nature doesn’t make gardens, people make gardens. And the story of a garden is always the story of a person.” Just in this case, two.

“There’s a minimal, modern simplicity to using oak to wrap this stair,” says architect James Merrell of this dramatic wood-and-glass design. To complement it, designers Elizabeth McNellis and Alexis Litman selected an equally streamlined furnishing: Blu Dot’s Daybench, which combines a powder-coated-steel base with a leather cushion in a subtle gray-green hue.

t’s tempting, when first encountering this new home tucked between Amagansett’s village and beach, to default to making stylistic assessments. Does its humble gabled roof make it a cottage? Does its glass-walled southern façade make it modern? Or do the mullioned windows on its cedar-shingled guest house make it traditional? Architect James Merrell wishes we wouldn’t ask those questions. “As soon as we name it, in a sense we own it, and we are no longer engaged with it,” he explains. “The works of art that persist are the ones that people go back to because they haven’t quite figured them out.” That’s why, for this getaway for a Manhattanbased family of five, Merrell and colleagues Steve Soule and Garrett Wineinger set out to craft a structure that “purposefully messes with stylistic expectations,” Merrell says; one that would honor the young family’s needs and the historical modesty of the neighborhood, whose streets were once lined with small summer cottages. Like most properties in the Lanes, this one is long and narrow, running perpendicular to the street. Unlike most, it is nearly two lots deep, with an existing barn and pool on the back half-acre. Rather than presenting the bulk of the house to the street, the architects turned the ridge of the structure to run east to west down the length of the lot, maximizing privacy and natural light. On the main level, floorto-ceiling windows comprise the south-facing wall. Above them is a row of dormers separated by fixed windows hidden behind cedar louvers. By day, the rhythmic detail fills the second floor with light. By night, it transforms the house into a glowing lantern. By Hamptons standards, the interiors are compact, with an open-plan living and dining area that connects to the kitchen, the only double-height room in the house. “Having everything built around the kitchen was important to us,” the husband says. “We didn’t want a scenario in which everyone has their own space to entertain themselves away from each other.”

The challenge with such a layout, Merrell says, is that the functional aspects of the kitchen “can interrupt the calmness desired in a living room.” To prevent such a conflict, the architects hid those messier elements in a pantry and imagined the kitchen as a library-like space, “with elegant woodwork that’s visually quiet,” Merrell says. “It’s not about making cabinets that look like kitchen cabinets; we hope they disappear.” Key to that magic was a concise materials palette dominated by white oak, which general contractor Peter Cardel and his master carpenters coaxed into a wood-wrapped breakfast nook, a marble-inset island and millwork that merges with creamy plaster walls. “When we start a project with Jim, we have the set of plans, but rarely do we have things like interior finishes,” Cardel says of the deceptively simple details. “Those evolve over the course of the project. The designs are like living beings.” Designers Elizabeth McNellis and Alexis Litman took that evolution several steps further, first honing the finish palette, then “really warming it up with lots of textiles and organic materials that keep the house sophisticated but approachable for a young family at the beach,” McNellis says. “We didn’t want an intimidating house. We wanted it to be welcoming and warm,” the wife adds. In the bedrooms, textured wallcoverings and roomy upholstered window seats set that mood, “creating comfy, cozy spaces where you want to sit down and read a book,” Litman says. In the living areas, leathers, wool bouclés and kilims soften clean-lined furnishings that occasionally lean modern. “Amagansett has this fresh, modern vibe about it, which we tried to honor,” McNellis says. “Take that vintage travertine coffee table in the living room: It lends a bit more of a cool factor to the space.” As do architectural lighting fixtures—which “break up the white oak ceiling planes,” Litman says—and colorful modern art. “We wanted pieces that are less serious, more fun,” the husband says. “And for people to know this a home where they can let their guard down.”

The spectacular, 2-acre, 16,000-square-foot Southampton manse has nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and, as Hamptons Luxury Estates president Yale Fishman puts it, “unrivaled heights of luxury.” Just up the road from Cooper’s Beach, it welcomes a lifestyle of relaxation and adventure. Fishman elaborates on the experience: “A gated entry opens to an impressive Shinglestyle exterior. Inside, soaring ceilings, a formal dining room seating 25, a chef’s kitchen, three master suites, the latest

tech everywhere, a 1,100-bottle wine cellar, a steam room and dry sauna are only a few of the appealing amenities.” Not to mention the exquisite design details, from a double-height Arabescato marble fireplace, to Venetian plaster walls adorned with 85-strand, 14-karat gold luster.

Please name influences and inspirations that inform your work. While our builds are always informed by the unique desires of the client and architect, there is often an ambience we aim to bring to life. In the case of 63 Duck Pond Lane, the goal was to create a total expression of resort-style living. It is postured flawlessly for intimate private enjoyment or to host sophisticated soirees and grand fetes. How do you see technology changing the design industry moving forward? It will continue to drive new innovations and novel ways of thinking. In a more specific vein, the integration of smart home features will, I believe, only grow as a guiding influence for architects and product designers alike. In 63 Duck Pond Lane, intelligent solutions are powered by a Savant system with Lutron lighting integrated.

From stately and traditional to sleek and modern, possibilities abound in the realm of well-designed windows and doors. At the forefront of the design movement is Long Island-based NSE Windows. A longtime staple in the industry, recognized for high-end design and materials, NSE has adorned many of New York’s most prominent residences with its windows and doors.
