This issue of Luxe is essentially a love letter to the people who make design happen. In addition to our annual GOLD LIST, which recognizes talents from across the country who have had their projects featured in our pages the past year, we celebrate creative originators and innovators: a community and collective of people who are grounded in their craft and dedicated to pushing design forward. We thank all of you for imagining and enriching the homes we live in. As the rhythms of daily life begin to return, and the pandemic recedes into the rear view, I am hopeful that the meaningfulness of home, and the people who reimagine the spaces of our everyday life, will remain in our hearts and minds.
Luxe celebrates people in design, including interior designers Rayman Boozer (above), Martyn Lawrence Bullard (middle) and Young Huh (right).

Healthy Planet. Healthy People. Healthy Lifestyles. 2022 IS THE YEAR OF THE HEALTHY KITCHEN. In many ways, true wellness begins in the kitchen. It is where we give our body the nutrition it needs, where we spend time bonding with loved ones over culinary projects, where we learn recipes and engage our most creative selves in the process. And at the heart of this high-performance heart of the home is its appliance suite. That’s where Beko comes in. A global appliance manufacturer with a product presence in 400 million homes in 140 countries, Beko is driven by a three-fold commitment to helping people be well through the production of appliances that promote health. The brand also believes that healthy people are only possible on a healthy planet, so it employs a zero-carbon manufacturing process. Its products are full of eco-friendly innovations and continually achieve ENERGY STAR certifications.

Beko’s EverFresh+ system with Active Fresh Blue Light prevents food waste, keeping fruits and vegetables crisp for up to 30 days and locking in nutrients. In 2022, Beko is taking it all a step further. It introduces the Healthy Kitchen Council, which comprises leading kitchen and home designers, nutritionists, dietitians and other health and wellness experts who will help the brand shape the concept of the ultimate healthy kitchen. As part of the initiative, Beko will present 22 new cooking, cooling and cleaning products equipped with proprietary technologies and features to empower Americans to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.
Doling Out Wellness
In partnership with Dole Food Company, one of the largest fresh fruit and vegetable providers in the world, Beko is working to bring healthier food to more tables. Together, the two companies will support hunger-relief and child nutrition charities that are striving to end hunger and encourage healthier living across the United States.

SAVE THE DATE THE PALM BEACH SHOW
If you’re craving a treasure hunt filled with unique objects, hard-to-find antiques and covetable curiosities, mark your calendar for the 19th-annual Palm Beach Show, taking place Feb. 17-22 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Visitors will mingle with private collectors, museum curators, investors and interior designers while perusing vast aisles and rooms overflowing with extraordinary collections of fine art, jewelry, silver, textiles, porcelain, Asian art and more. Whether you’re looking for something old or new, items span every genre and range in date from antiquities to the 20th century. A new addition to the show, Contemporary Focus is a section dedicated to exhibitors specializing in World Art Movements that spotlight contemporary and modern works. Look out for panels, including a conversation moderated by Luxe Homes Editor Jennifer Pfaff Smith with designers Phyllis Taylor, Chris Goddard, Anelle Gandelman and Juliette Calaf. palmbeachshow.com

rooms and bedrooms begin with a rug as a jumping-off point for paint, fabrics and furnishings. However, I advise waiting until the very end to select a rug in areas such as hallways, powder rooms and foyers, like icing on a cake. Personal experience: We are currently renovating, but I have very big plans in the near future. Our bedroom will have a gorgeous antique Kirman that has a peachyapricot ombre color, and the living room will have layered striped and geometric kilims. The hallways will have bold runners, which I’ll rotate for fun. Go-to design spots in Palm Beach: Antique Row in West Palm Beach, where my gallery is located, is an iconic shopping destination for interior designers and stylish homeowners. It is walkable, friendly and filled to the brim with vintage, antique and modern home decor.

Nicki Wolf knows a rug makes a room, and she’s laid the groundwork for homeowners to tell a story with her pieces. The Jupiter native began collecting vintage styles in college, and in 2017 she founded Heir Looms Vintage Rugs, a business that started on Instagram and evolved into a brick-and-mortar gallery in West Palm Beach. There, clients will discover a beautifully curated selection of Persian, Turkish and Moroccan floor coverings. heirlooms.co

RETREAT TO THESE NEW BEACHFRONT HOTELS WORTHY OF A DESIGN-INSPIRED STAY. Golden Age glamour returns to Miami’s iconic Ocean Drive with the opening of The Gabriel South Beach. Flaunting 132 guest rooms and suites sprinkled among three Art Deco buildings—including the historic Park Central Hotel— and a new five-story atrium, each of the four buildings features special touches that pay tribute to its history and design. Navigate Design blended Art Deco modernism with tropical allure, splashing spaces in pastel hues, vintage wood and original terrazzo flooring, while guest rooms tout midcentury modern accents. The new atrium building, with 12 suites, feels like a private beach house and showcases a 30-foot mural fashioned by street artist Mr. Brainwash and a peek-a-boo glass-bottom pool, where swimmers are on view for lobby guests below. thegabrielsouthbeach.com
As the only resort on exclusive Hillsboro Mile, known as “Millionaire’s Mile,” the newly minted Hillsboro Beach Resort offers modern luxury and breathtaking vistas. Spaces by Vianny Sanguily of BH3 are dotted with artwork by David Paul Kay, and the 99 guest rooms, suites and studios are fitted with millwork, white oak laminate floors and custom touches, including coffee tables and nightstands made of Nebula white marble, beautifully crafted headboards and Calacatta porcelain tile in the bathrooms.

Share the new styles you introduced. We add special curved shapes with soft angles and materials. There are two new wood finishes that match our two new metallic finishes. We also introduced a different hardware for our case goods. The leathered bases to decorate our dining table are a great accent of the collection. Why was this the right time for the collection? The pandemic taught us what we like and what we don’t like in the spaces we live in. We went through a different creative process this time by trying to bring out the crème de la crème of our brand. We wanted to pamper our clients through our most elegant designs ever, specially made for their homes.

What sparked the Gem Collection? As we searched for inspiration during the pandemic, and without travel, we had to focus on what we had in hand—quite literally—because we have gems and jewels in our hands. The main piece of jewelry that inspired us is the cushion-cut diamond. Its shape and soft curves are replicated in many of our pieces, from cocktail tables to an ottoman.

THE INSIDER MEG BRAFF
DESIGN
Drawn to Palm Beach for the last 25 years, interior designer Meg Braff now has an office-design studio in the town. What’s more, she’s paying homage to mid20th-century island style with a new collection of furniture, lighting and accessories for legacy brand Wildwood. megbraffdesigns.com; wildwoodhome.com
SCENE
New digs: My husband and I moved to Florida two years ago, and the real factor was: I needed an office outside of my home. I’ve had a shop/design studio in Locust Valley, New York, for many years, so I decided to replicate that—but on a larger scale. The new Palm Beach space houses my shop, design office and wallpaper and fabric showroom. I’ve never been able to have all three under one roof, so I am very excited. Match made in heaven: I love Palm Beach for many reasons. The architecture is incredible, and I’ll often drive around house-stalking and stop in open houses. The midcentury Palm Beach vibe has always appealed to me. I love looking at old pictures of people and parties from the 1950s and ’60s and shopping for furniture and lighting of that era on Antique Row in West Palm Beach. When I began thinking about an overarching theme for the Meg Braff x Wildwood collection, Palm Beach just made sense. The collection is devoted to pieces I’ve admired, been inspired by, purchased and used on design projects or always hoped to find while antiquing. Collection standouts: My personal favorites are the Fontana chandelier and sconces, the Concha cachepot—filled with orchids—and the Mirasol pendants, which are impactful for a kitchen, breakfast room or over a pool table. I also love our Serge Roche- and Emilio Terry-inspired consoles, which would be fabulous flanking a doorway or in smaller spaces that need a big hit of style.
A LA CARTE SEXY FISH
Fantastical art, architecture and a touch of theater abound at Sexy Fish in Brickell, the new sister restaurant to the lauded Japanese seafood eatery in London. Designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the restaurant’s contemporary interiors are influenced by the style and sophistication of a midcentury brasserie. Along with an illuminated agate floor, oak wood panels with smoky mirror inserts and a bar crowned with pink onyx, patterns and motifs of the ocean imaginatively intermingle. The restaurant’s most eye-catching feature is an installation by Frank Gehry, starring 26 fish lamps that shimmer above the bar and float around a giant waterfall column. Other design standouts include 10 Damien Hirst friezes and sculptures— like the resin octopus coated in broken crystal glass, diamond and metallic flakes that hangs above the DJ booth—and a live coral fish tank that stretches across an entire wall. sexyfishmiami.com

On her radar: I love all the design shops up and down South Dixie Highway and Georgia Avenue. I shop everywhere, but I have my favorites, including Todd Hase, Circa Who, Palm Beach Regency, Paula Roemer, Bamboo & Rattan and Casa Gusto. I love the additions of Le Bilboquet and La Goulue to the dinner party circuit, and I’m excited to see what develops in the coming years in Northwood, where I had an apartment for years.

When I was 12 years old, I began my career selling antiques from a stall in London’s Greenwich Market. It was the 1980s then, and Art Deco was the height of fashion. It was one of the first design periods that I studied, and from that, my passion grew. Because I came from a theatrical background—originally, I wanted to be an actor—it’s only natural that I would be drawn to a style so closely associated with Hollywood glamour. With the advent of cinema, Los Angeles boomed during the 1920s and 1930s, and extraordinary spaces, like the Cicada Club in downtown L.A. and the historic Sunset Tower hotel, were built. For me, the appeal of Art Deco lies in its association with decadence. The world had just come out of World War I, and there was reason to celebrate. People wanted drama and floridity. We left behind the Edwardian and Arts-and-Crafts periods, and turned almost instantly to this brand-new era symbolized by ornate geometric forms. Of all the Art Deco styles, I’m particularly fond of Egyptian Revival. It conjures the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, and with that, an air of adventure, travel and romance. In my work and in my own home, many Orientalist and Moroccan motifs blend with the geometric vibe and monochromatic palette of Art Deco. Recently, I drew inspiration from the period to inform a collection of inlaid stone and lacquer accessories for SV Casa. We did a series of beautiful cases that open into bars, inspired by Hermès and Louis Vuitton steamer trunks from the 1930s. They recall one of the first Art Deco pieces I ever bought: a 1920s alligator case, which makes me long for the time when travel was new. In those days, people used silver- and-gold jars in sleek cases for toiletries. We used to travel in such style! I’ve kept it with me throughout my journeys. It’s a great nod to my past, both in my dealing in objects of that era and my love of Art Deco itself. Martyn Lawrence Bullard on the steps leading to the pool and gardens of his Los Angeles home.

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to Michigan when I was three. Most of my ideas about my home country came from my parents, who were passionate about collecting and preserving Korean art. One of my favorite early memories was flying to New York City with my mother. She was shopping for a scholar screen— an artwork meant to decorate the study of a Yangban (a scholar of the highest class). They depict items a Yangban might exhibit to show his refinement: books, a peony, ink brushes. My mother was also searching for folk art—colorful, informal paintings, often with suggestive subject matter. I learned then that there were two schools of Korean art: the school based on courtly formalities, and the folk art hung in the homes of merchants or shamans. Adolescent me became fascinated with folk art. Rabbits smoking pipes! Mountains in every color under the sun! The rainbow hanbok of young girls! To me, these visions were the heartbeat of traditional Korean art—and today, they inspire every inch of my design aesthetic.
Some people think decorating is about picking pretty fabrics, but it is rooted in soils far deeper than that. As I design this home, I think of all the people who have lived here over the last two centuries, my family tree that dates back 700 years, and my children who will carry the future— and who, I hope, will tell everyone’s story.

Last year, I purchased a home in New York’s Hudson Valley: a classic Colonial in the most idyllic countryside setting. As I dreamt of how to decorate, my thoughts turned to my heritage. One project I’m working on is designing a wallpaper with Fromental, inspired by the papers out of East Asia, which were traded in the New World in the 17th century. I’ll be incorporating both the structure of courtly paintings and the brightness of folk art, all presented in a modern way.

Fashioning a Narrative

AS TOLD TO STEPHANIE HUNT
RADAR
AS
Ever since I was a child on a farm in Indiana, fashion has been my obsession. I was the middle child of nine—the Jan Brady of our family, and sort of invisible. After seeing The Mary Tyler Moore Show, my dream became to live in a city in an apartment. At age 8, I made a pact that I would one day move to New York and do glamorous things with my life. We didn’t have a ton of money, but my mother had amazing style. She made a lot of our clothes—think: red-white-and-blue bell bottoms with matching shirts. Even at age 5, I was picky about what colors I wanted to wear, and I hated being dressed like my brothers—I wanted control! Growing up, I fell in love with magazines. I’d go down to the local newsstand and pour over Vogue and GQ. One day, a handful of subscription cards fell out, and I noticed the “bill me later” part. I asked the shopkeeper if I could have them, filled them out, and for three months, I built a library. In high school, my parents let me get subscriptions—but I held onto those issues and read them over and over.
A lot of people see fashion as trivial, but I believe that it’s a nonverbal way of communicating with like-minded people. Especially in Manhattan, you’re always presenting yourself to the public in some way. For me, fashion is armor. It’s a silent means of declaring who you are. Rayman Boozer stands at the threshold of his Manhattan closet wearing a Prada sweater and slacks (his favorite fashion house) and Tods loafers.

When I went to college, I declared a fashion design major before finding interiors. What I am is a strong fashion editor—I’m good at pairing things together in interesting ways: colors, textures, attitudes—and a mix of high-low. My velvet Gucci blazer with a Uniqlo sweater; a leather Prada trench coat with my favorite Scotch and Soda jeans. Fashion also feeds my approach to color—you see daring combinations on the runway before the home. This, in part, is what keeps my interiors optimistic and open-minded.

Provence
Happy place: About 7 years ago, I rented a 300-year-old house outside of Avignon with my family—and it was kind of an epiphany. We’d spend mornings by the pool, then drive through the Rhône and visit towns, like Roussillon, which has this incredible sandstone, terra-cotta and ochre palette. Only fitting: Provence has a similar climate to Los Angeles, and the building materials—stucco, painted wood windows and shutters, tiled roofs—are essentially the same as Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, a primary vernacular of Southern California. Dream delivered: From the minute you walk in the front gate, you’re in this other world of pea gravel, olive trees and lavender. You enter the house through a pair of French doors, and it’s all very open and transparent. To me, it’s transportive emotionally. The clients, the design team and I were all so taken with the authenticity of the Provençal lifestyle; we tried to capture it’s relaxed, casual elegance in this home. willigerarchitect.com

Designer Bill Musso found inspiration for his Atlanta condo in a beloved landmark’s Art Deco mystique.
main photo: getty. inset: lauren rubinstein.
Early influence: My grandmother was enamored with Radio City Music Hall. Whenever she had the opportunity, she would take me to see a live show or a movie. We’d spend time walking around Rockefeller Center, and she would point out all of the friezes and statues. Aha moment: Four years ago, I did the 30 Rock tour. I wasn’t so interested in the TV aspect, but in wandering the halls and common spaces and taking pictures! Ode to Deco: The marble floor in my entry was inspired by an elevator waiting area at 30 Rock; I worked with The Rug Company on a runner that’s literally an adaptation of the carpeting in Radio City Music Hall; and my interior doors have the same Art Deco-influenced, raised panel design. Balancing act: Inspiration is all about knowing when to peel back. Like Coco Chanel famously advised: stand in front of the mirror and remove one item. I’d never want to feel like I’m living in a time capsule (as much as I love wearing a smoking jacket). mussodesigngroup.com

A Vintage Photograph
Unexpected idea: This photo of Sonny Bono and former Mayor Frank Bogert was the first inspiration image we showed our client. We overlaid it with a pink filter to tease out the magical light that happens at sunset in Palm Springs. There’s a rugged romance—a laid-back, masculine mood to it—that sung to us. Desert journey: There’s no front yard or backyard, per se. You enter through a portal in the Ficus, then move through these different sequences that are always changing: a fire pit surrounded by muhly grass, a palo Verde grove, an olive tree dining orchard. It speaks to this notion of traveling on horseback through an ephemeral landscape. Message received: For this project, we “borrowed” palm trees from the neighbors’ yards—and the San Jacinto mountains peaking above the hedges. At sunset, with the pink grasses in full bloom, the image of the cowboys and the palms—that feeling of a total Palm Springs escape—is really what you’re getting. sdisf.com

The English Country House
Mood board: From the first time I saw the property, the story in my mind was that it was a kooky British grandmother’s house that had been passed down to the next generation. It’s a large, new construction home, but the way the rooms were laid out—the intimacy of scale and the classical millwork— suggested history. Hero piece: I’ve always been drawn to tapestries, and here, they provided a strong “old manor house” through line. We hung a large 18thcentury Flemish tapestry in the living room and wallpapered the dining room in a Scalamandré print for a European country house vibe. Homework: I pinned about a billion pictures. Upton House, a Georgian manor in Gloucestershire that we referenced, has this hall with the most perfect minty green, which inspired the shades of celadon throughout. I love historical colors; tertiary tones are so much more interesting. studiohus.com

Modern muse: Our projects often begin with a sensibility imbued by a person, and in this case, Sophia Loren was one of our initial drivers for the mood and design intent; she’s the very embodiment of la dolce vita. Dramatic details: My clients wanted to transform a pastiche Colorado lodge into a home that was cool, effortless and glamorous; a space that lights up at night for entertaining, but also provides a languishing daytime salon. A core element to our work is always ‘the mix’ and for this dolce vita-driven project, the mix manifests in interesting combinations of textures and weaves. Think: mohair velvets and metallic glazed linens, marble and lacquer, and patinated brass elements. Secret sauce: It can be easy to go over the top, especially when you are going for high-impact design. The art is to know when you have done enough to tell the story. A successful room is all about artful layering drawn from travel, books, nature, art, history—and iconic people. samanthatodhunter.com

For a new home in Point Reyes Station, California, architect Dave Sturm channeled a design icon’s purist approach. Origin story: Our client grew up visiting Mexico and had loved Barragán since childhood. Field work: I was a budding architect when Barragán won the Pritzker Prize, and had been wanting to visit his home for decades. This project prompted my wife and I to spend two weeks in Mexico City. We visited several museums a day, and many Barragán buildings. I immersed myself in his spatial relationships. Good stuff: Barragán had this really limited, yet influential palette; a very high-modern aesthetic. His pink is almost like the national color. Key details: Nothing extraneous; we brought the walls all the way down to the floor—no trim, baseboards or moldings. And we used steel casement-style windows for the cleanest sight lines. Take it back: It’s a reference, not an homage. We were inspired by his simplicity. If Barragán had signed on, I imagine the walls might be pink. butlerarmsden.com

WITH HER LATEST COLLECTION, DESIGNER LORI WEITZNER DELIVERS AN ODE TO CENTRAL PARK. W R I T T E N B Y H E AT H E R C A R N E Y
Imagine wandering through Central Park. Bright pink petals highlight a grid between cobblestones. Intricate moldings and sandstone carvings come into focus on stair railings. At sunset, the city skyline turns from orange to golden to purple to gray. It’s this romantic setting that provided designer Lori Weitzner with hope and refuge during the dark days of the pandemic—while also opening her eyes to patterns, textures and colors hidden in plain sight. “It was a lesson in the idea that you’re so familiar with something that you stop looking,” says the designer. “I began to see everything in a whole new way.” The resulting collection is an ode to Central Park—an exploration of fabrics and wallcoverings that captures the beauty of a city in the midst of rebirth. “I love New York. It’s what keeps my senses alive. You pass a bakery, then you pass litter on the street. It’s all there,” says Weitzner. “Central Park is an oasis to the urban grit.” IPhone in hand, the designer would “click, click, click” on weekly rambles through her sanctuary, then return to her quiet Chelsea design studio where she printed and arranged the photos on a large white table. From there, the creative work would begin—editing, sorting, sketching and playing with colors and materials. Chariot, for example, a soft jacquard linen with subtle damask patterning, evolved from an image she snapped of traditional stonework near Bethesda Fountain. “We painted it in the studio, and then, because we didn’t want such a traditional pattern, we took a sponge

and broke it up with texture so it would feel eroded,” explains Weitzner. Illumination, an embroidered textile, stems from sketches of foliage in the Shakespeare Garden, while Mesmerize, a cut velvet print, takes its cues from the fountain’s stone filigree. With the line complete and her schedule picking up, it might be surprising to hear that the designer still carves out time to walk in the park—but it’s a habit she’s not willing to give up. “The pandemic made me slow down and appreciate the details,” reflects Weitzner. “This collection is about nature, but it’s also about seeing things anew.”

By the 1930s, Eileen Gray was a solidified furniture designer and architect—a rare accomplishment for a woman by early 20th-century standards. Of her many contributions to the modern movement, the Irish-born creative designed the ubiquitous (and replicated) adjustable side table, which she designed specifically for her home dubbed E-1027, shown above, on the French Riviera.

PASSION PROJECT MATTHEW QUINN
What a beautifully layered space! This kitchen is an homage to the owner, whose zeal for art, food and life shines through in the design. When she and her family moved from Mexico to the Atlanta area, they acquired a charming bungalow property and she promptly saved her pennies for 12 years to have her dream “Matthew Quinn” kitchen, as she explained, which was truly the ultimate compliment. Wow. What did she request? Thinking outside of the box was important to the client. She wanted to make the kitchen uniquely her own, which included covering the walls with art, creating plenty of storage for cookbooks and even adding cork flooring that provides comfort when standing and cooking. But it’s really about this funky mix of colors and materials that works so well together. Talk to us about the details. The Amazonia Quartzite screamed “bar area.” The boldly colored veining of the stone is paired with an equally striking blue paint on the cabinetry that creates a vibrant, fun moment. In the kitchen, white-glass countertops and high-gloss Macassar Ebony veneer cabinetry balance out the La Cornue range and brass finishes. Makassar Ebony Veneer Cabinetry, downsviewkitchens.com. Amazonite Stone, abcworldwidestone.com.
STRATEGIC APPROACH “I fell in love with kitchens because of their technicality—I like to focus on the architectural plan first; I’m a big stickler for rectangular and square rooms. From there, we address access points, center lines, location of appliances, storage, circulation, ergonomics and functionality. After nearly 30 years in the business, I can immediately pinpoint what needs to be tweaked, but if the kitchen works well, I know I can make it beautiful.” matthew-quinn.com

CALMING INFLUENCE CHRISTOPHER PEACOCK What was the inspiration for this serene palette? A big, beautiful picture window decorates the kitchen, and we didn’t want the rest of the space to compete with that focal point, so there was a conscious effort to keep the colors more earthy and muted. We went with a two-tone paint effect for the cabinetry: a lovely olive or sage green on the island and then a warmer gray on the perimeter. Walk us through the rest of the design. The scheme was about making it simple and quiet while keeping it spacious. There wasn’t a strong desire to fill the walls with unnecessary cabinetry; rather our focus was on the
materials and finishes. A handmade subway tile with varying shades makes for a beautiful backsplash that provides subtle movement; we avoided anything too shiny and went with brushed and satin nickel hardware. How did you approach scale? This is a very large kitchen with a barreled ceiling. So we grounded the environment with a large island featuring cutting blocks at both ends and a custom pewter-and-nickel metal hood that anchors one wall. The island table developed into a multifunctional element with storage and seating, as well as a place to work, prepare food and entertain.
TOP TAKEAWAY “The key is to be a good listener, have an inquisitive mind and a holistic or all-encompassing approach. If you watch what happens in most people’s kitchens today, it’s not kitchen related. It’s a gathering space, an entertaining space, a quiet space. Sometimes it’s a retreat or a place to relax—it’s all these things. We have to understand how the kitchen is being used because this room has matured into the most important space in the home. It’s critical to get the design right. Trust the people you’re working with—a kitchen renovation is an everlasting project.” peacockhome.com La Jolla Scone, paulferrante.com.

HERITAGE MOMENT SARAH BLANK
This kitchen is in an older home, right? It’s an absolutely stunning Spanish Renaissance residence that was built in the early 1900s along the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the kitchen was in bad shape after a recent update, but I was lucky that the client wanted to go back to its historic character. I am a big believer in taking from the past to create the future and spent a lot of time understanding the original aesthetic of this property.
How does your background inform your designs? I love classical architecture and historic structures—I’ve been a part of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for a long time. Everything I do now, even after all this time, goes back to the aesthetic of old homes and what they teach us.

Sarah Blank Design Studio chose Farrow & Ball’s Stone Blue for the island in this Irvington, New York, kitchen by Taconic Builders. A BlueStar range, Miele oven and custom hood complete the scheme.
EXPERT TIP “Here’s a trick for anyone embarking on a new kitchen project: Do not clean up when the designer comes over to see how you live. If you tidy up before I arrive, how am I going to know what the problems are? I spend a lot of time talking to clients and asking what they want, but what tells me even more is opening all the cabinets and drawers and looking at their inventory and how everything is stored. Once I know what’s behind closed doors, I can design your kitchen! My new book, Classic Kitchens for Modern Living, is certainly a culmination of everything I have learned over the past 40 years!” sarahblankdesignstudio.com

Where did you start? Before I did anything, there were several architectural changes that needed to be made, including taking down a wall, reworking a window and altering the ceiling. Then, I began the mission of taking a very narrow kitchen and making it functional. A lot of the elements, such as the metalwork and wood detailing, are inspired by 19th-century European kitchens.

“ A hand-painted, high-gloss cabinetry color was customized around the wallcovering in this Short Hills, New Jersey, project. We always ask and try to push our clients to do something a little more unexpected in smaller spaces. The outcome was beautiful.”
“The client had an impressive collection of vintage glassware and entertained a lot, so from the very beginning of our conversation we knew the bar would be an important component. The homeowner was drawn to the vibrant color and stone elements. The resulting happy mix is truly a reflection of her.” –MATTHEW QUINN

“ T his Stamford, Connecticut, jewel of a room is both a wet bar and wine room, as well as a butler’s pantry. The homeowner fell in love with the tiger maple wood, while the high-gloss ceiling and its reflective quality make the room feel deceptively large.” –SARAH BLANK

JEAN LIN, COLONY In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, then-design journalist Jean Lin sparked an idea: invite local New York City artists to craft works from debris for storm relief. In the process, Lin grew familiar with the growth and representation struggles faced by independent makers—and the idea for a new, community-driven gallery model was born. Where the industry-standard commission hovers around 50 percent, Colony takes a smaller fraction of each sale, and charges a stabilized monthly co-op fee. Their contract also includes a non-exclusivity clause, which “shows our true intention of putting the bottom line of the designers we rep before our own,” says Lin. Expanding its influence and capital, Colony has since launched an in-house consultancy offering marketing, art direction and interior design services. “The vision moving forward is that these branches of business scale in tandem,” says Lin. “Which goes back to Colony’s founding spirit and genuine belief that all ships rise with the tide.” goodcolony.com

THE CURATOR
THE INNOVATOR
“I don’t love the word ‘disruption,’ but I am passionate about asking the question, ‘how can we make people’s lives easier?’ And I think the answer to that lies in meeting them where they are,” shares Anderson Somerselle. For Somerselle, a veteran of the textiles industry, this passion manifested in a digital-first showroom designed to aggregate boutique lines—as well as their up-to-date stock numbers and samples—in one destination. “It’s an honest response to witnessing how many designers and clients start their inspiration process online,” he notes. With the lower overhead associated with a digital footprint, Somerselle also provides a more affordable representation avenue for smaller brands. “It made sense to bring together these amazing artisans in a virtual showroom first, because there’s more reach,” he explains. “Eventually, we’ll open a physical space, but that will be a totally different experience. I want people to say, ‘Wow! I want to live here.’” somerselle.com

THE RECONCEIVERS NOAM DVIR AND DANIEL RAUCHWERGER, BOND
In a past life, Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger worked as critics at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz before falling in love, heading west to earn their masters at Harvard and founding BoND, a holistic architecture and design firm focused on expanding traditional ideologies of home. “In the residential environment, there’s this mold of how a space should be organized—but design for non-nuclear families looks different,” explains Dvir, pointing to the themes of gathering and desire that often distinguish their work. “Design should explore many different identities and lifestyles, and we really wear that on our sleeves.” With a fast-expanding residential practice, the couple has their sights set on more cultural projects in the commercial space. (They recently designed Company Gallery, a leading queer art institution, and are fast at work on a trans-led after-hours nightclub.) “It’s very important to us to work on projects that people will have access to, and that feed us spiritually,” says Rauchwerger, adding, “the real fun comes in sharing.” bureaund.com
ZOE FELDMAN, ZOE FELDMAN DESIGN
“I truly don’t know a lot about sustainability—and that’s kind of the point!” demurs Zoe Feldman. For the Washington, D.C.-based designer, the birth of her daughter in 2018 collided with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s devastating special report on global warming, spurring her to evaluate her own role in the climate crisis. After researching avenues of impact—and

THE ACTIVIST
upon discovering that planting a tree only costs 5 cents— she designed a green pledge as a core pillar of her business. Aptly named Our Beautiful Planet, the framework includes donating her consultation fee to an environmental charity (then matching it upon contract signing), planting 100 trees for every approved design proposal (offsetting its carbon footprint), and a commitment to sourcing 80 percent vintage. Feldman hopes to turn this working template into a movement that designers can adapt to suit their practice. “These are easy things to implement,” she says. “We’re trying to show the industry that we can all take very small, simple steps and potentially, make a massive impact.” zoefeldmandesign.com
THE STORYTELLERS HOMAN RAJAI AND ELENA DENDIBERIA, STUDIO AHEAD
For Homan Rajai and Elena Dendiberia, design is both a global and local affair. What it is not is siloed around Eurocentrism. Meeting as young designers, the pair, with their respective Iranian and Russian roots, felt similarly disconnected from the world of European antiques they were living in, so they built a new framework. Questions like, What philosophies do you relate to? distinguish their client questionnaire, and Rajai and Dendiberia champion a diverse network of vendors working in traditional crafts. “There’s this assumption that—say, Persian rugs—are in the past tense. We’re educating our clients that there are living, breathing, modern-day craftspeople making these pieces,” says Rajai. At the other end of the spectrum, the firm is devoted to amplifying design at a hyper-local scale—and boasts a fast-expanding production wing of collaborations between Northern California artists. “Think of Alice Waters and what she did with farm-to-table,” says Rajai. “We’re bringing the same idea to design.” studioahead.com
THE BOTANIST JESSICA VIOLA, VIOLA GARDENS
A promise to “seek biological over technical solutions” nests at the core of Jessica Viola’s approach to the garden. Certified in ecological and permaculture design, Viola (one of a handful of licensed female landscape contractors in California) cut her teeth rehabilitating lawns into gardens in the California drought. Those regenerative principles have propelled her business since. Whether sculpting brims in the landscape to better harness rainfall, or planting for erosion control and fire resistance, Viola’s bottom line is embracing the intrinsic characteristics of each property, fostering the age-old relationships between people, flora and fauna amidst a changing climate. In this way, tackling the crisis becomes a creative exercise: “When you’re coming at things from a place of fear, you block what’s possible,” says Viola. “Instead of trying to solve all the world’s problems, I’m facilitating conditions for more awareness—and going one garden at a time.” violagardens.com

& THE ASSOCIATES STUDIO

“& The Associates Studio is a design collective. Design is about problem solving and understanding people.”
ccording to Clemens Schaub, “Every home is essentially a portrait of the particular client, with our brushstroke.” The architect takes an artistic approach to design, celebrating originality and individuality. “We never repeat a design,” he says. His firm, & The Associates Studio, was born from acclaimed architecture practice Clemens Bruns Schaub Architect & Associates., P.A., founded on the belief that integrating architecture, interior design and landscape from the outset creates the most beautiful and balanced solutions. “Good design encompasses architecture, landscape and interior design. The lines are blurred,” explains the firm’s interior designer, Christine Pokorney. Architect J. Michael Ohler adds. “We feel the homes we collaborate on with our clients result in a better product when all are addressed by a unified team. Clients also love the convenience of an entire team under one roof.” The three principals and their team of passionate designers and craftspeople center their work on bringing clients’ visions to life. “We are good listeners and collaborate

heavily with our clients. We visit homes we have completed together so that they can experience spaces and materials firsthand. If we are working on the furnishings, we will invite them on shopping trips. Experiencing things together is telling beyond words,” Pokorney says.
Please name influences and inspirations that inform your work and approach to it.

“We treat each project like one long conversation that starts on the first day and ends when they move in.”
iami is rich with history and a tradition of bold architectural feats. And Portuondo Perotti Architects is proving that it will take a place in the city’s next generation of design legends. In the past year alone, the firm has been awarded two Addison Mizner Awards by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, one for a commercial project and the other for a residential one. But these industry recognitions aren’t the only form of accolade given to Portuondo Perotti. “Our greatest success to this point has been our ability to maintain a strong and active portfolio for years mainly on word of mouth,” says vice president Jose Luiz Gonzalez-Perotti, who runs the firm with president Rafael Portuondo. Indeed, from Miami and Coral Gables to Palm Beach, the Caribbean and even all the way to Spain, clients are singing the praises of Portuondo Perotti Architects. “We are known for our ability to incorporate our clients’ wants,” Rafael says. “Our penchant for drawing by hand is a

What style is your firm most known for? Whether a Mediterranean villa of stucco, stone and clay roof tiles or a modern residence of exposed concrete and steel, our projects are recognizable in the strength of our floor plan diagrams and building facades, rooted in classical order and proportions. How can clients work with trade professionals to ensure a painless design process? The biggest piece of advice that we offer our clients is to not be afraid to be vocal. Some of the best successes arise out of realizing what a client dislikes, as opposed to what they like. We encourage them not to hold back their opinions, and there is no such thing as too many inspirational images! We want them to be active participants.

rom new construction to historic renovations and restorations, Smith and Moore Architects begins each project with the goal of elevating—and paying homage to—the existing surroundings. “We take a holistic approach, understanding the variety of architectural traditions, contextual relationships, and the critical seamless integration of landscape and interior design,” Daniel Kahan, principal and partner, says. The firm, founded in 1984 and led by partners Harold Smith, Jonathan Moore, Peter Papadopoulos, and Kahan, brings to life residential and boutique commercial projects in the Palm Beach area and beyond, working
closely with landscape and interior designers. “Much of the basis for our work comes from the study of both classical traditions in architecture and the interpretations of classical architecture by our more modern forebears,” Kahan adds. “We strive not to be swayed by the current trends, but by the timeless examples of taste and quality that have come before us.” Maintaining an open dialogue with clients and integrating the latest technologies alongside sketches done by hand is vital to that process. As the partners say, “Employing the highest-quality materials and levels of finesse can only be successful with a universally focused project team.”

Mackle Builders brings each customer’s unique vision to life with masterful skill and a clear passion for results. Delivering a stunning final product is more important than anything else to Tom. “My business model is not focused on growth,” he says. “I know that may sound unusual, but my focus is on innovation and improving the process. Building your dream home should be a pleasure, and I make that my single priority.”

Whether a custom new build or remodel, residential masterpiece or center of hospitality, the firm’s projects belie its founder’s belief in uncompromising craftsmanship and devotion to architectural vision. “We strive to exceed expectations and create dream homes,” Ryan Watley says. “We think truly successful execution of a vision depends on perfecting every detail.” This ethos is evident in the project that put Watlee Construction “on the map.” “In 2004, we were hired to build a 7,500-square-foot house in South Martin County, and it was completely custom,” Ryan says. “The floor, tongue-and-groove ceiling and millwork were all produced by a mill in Montana. The walls were done in Venetian plaster and the exterior was a coastal with lap siding and a standing-

anny Haim and her daughter Michelle Haim share a vision about what living spaces should be: original, artful and enduring. Their trademark design principle—the permanent quest for innovation—fuels each uniquely personal space they create. “It’s not just about what we do, but how we do it,” Fanny says. “What imprint are we leaving behind? The company was founded with that mission and remains a constant today. We strive to become even more conscious, thoughtful and responsible.” Creating masterful custom pieces is a signature of the Haim team. The demand for their work has led to expanded
collections, from rugs for Stark and textiles for Holland & Sherry, to furniture for Holly Hunt Miami and Jean de Merry. “We design products for industry icons and look forward to the launch of some exciting new collections, including a line of ceramic tile for Arca that Michelle has developed,” she says. Fanny Haim Atelier product lines fuse seamlessly into their design practice. “There are recurring elements that are a part of our vernacular: the concept of ambiguity, including elements of surprise, creating silent dialogues with items of diverse provenance. Texture upon texture is present always, and color comes incidentally, but certainly not all at once,” she says.
ASK THE EXPERT What is the first project that put your company on the map? I don’t think there is a singular project that put us on the map, but there was a hugely surprising moment when we were included in Robb Report’s Best of the Best issue. To this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success and why? Professionally, having the privilege to work alongside my daughter Michelle, with whom I get to share this journey. She is my muse and brings her unique eye that feeds the creative process. Can you elaborate on the kinds of communities you work in? Miami, which is home, is an international crossroads, and a second and third home for many of our clients. Recently, we seem to be doing a lot of renovation of public spaces, which is very active in Miami.

hen one has a true passion for all things design, it’s difficult to stay in a single lane. After all, creativity knows no bounds. Miriam and James Duncan understand this all too well. Through their brand, James Duncan, the husband and wife are recognized for their beloved, original furniture designs, which one can find in showrooms throughout the U.S., from New York Design Center to Miami Design District. But over the years, the duo has expanded to use their talents in increasingly new ways. Today, they have delved into product licensing, interior design and real estate development in addition to furniture design. In every pursuit, they find ample inspiration in the global community. “Miriam grew up in Morocco and her parents are Polish, so her viewpoint is shaped by African and European influences,” James says. “Meanwhile, my parents are professors who took me around the world. They were also serial renovators and art collectors. These experiences have

combined to lead Miriam and me toward an eclectic approach.” Miriam concurs, adding, “Good design should be like a good story: complex, inspiring and telling. The clients, too, are a powerful influence. We work hard to understand and amplify the best of their personal points of view.”
What advice do you give to homeowners embarking on a project? Hire good architects, contractors and cabinetmakers. They are worth the money and without them, we are all in trouble. What type of project would you love to take on? Boats and planes. Of course, there are some real talents out there doing them, but there are also far too many really expensive boats and planes that are unforgivably tacky. What’s next for your firm? We are hoping to release our wallpaper line in the next few months. We are also working on a museum in Cartagena that we are excited about.

ndividuality, elegance and function are touchstones in the work of interior designer Kristen Rivoli, who harmoniously combines tradition and modernity. Architecture, the arts and international travel inspire her designs, yielding an expertly executed mix of antiques and vintage pieces and modern furniture. Rivoli, despite being an expert in her field, is a lifelong student of creative masters in art, architecture and design. “I’ve always researched designers, artists and architects in all types of styles. Traveling has always influenced my design language—to visit the museums and historical sites in
Europe gives me an overwhelming amount of inspiration for modern and traditional design,” she shares. Rivoli established her firm, Kristen Rivoli Interior Design, in 2009, using her construction/site prowess to complete large-scale new construction and renovation projects in New York and South Florida. A recent project of hers, a 13,000-square-foot new construction residence, was a resounding success, thanks to her dedicated working synergy with both the architect and contractor. “I feel completely comfortable on a job site, discussing issues with the architect and builder to make the design the best it can be,” she says.
ASK THE EXPERT What is the first project that put your company on the map? An 8,000-square-foot full gut renovation for a young family. We created floor plans and a complete interior design package, including hard finishes, window treatments, wall finishes and furniture. How do you include the client in your creative process? I like to find out from the client what they want from their new home. We are designing for where they’re going, not where they’ve been. Every family is changing and evolving, so we want to design their home to support them along the way. What is the next move for your firm? I just released a rug collection that is made of beautiful 100-percent Tibetan wool. The rugs are handmade using 60-knot construction by artisans in Nepal. I plan to grow the collection over the years, adding new designs and colors.

or Maggie Cruz, principal of namesake Maggie Cruz Home + Interior Design, the journey to success has been deeply intertwined with Miami’s vibrant culture. The Bird Road Art District-based creative has won a plethora of prestigious awards for her elegant, regionally informed take on traditional spaces. Infusing classical sophistication with surprising moments inspired by the colors, shapes, light, landscapes and history of South Florida, she has become known for making new construction look refined, yet lived in. But the project that put her on the map was a historic reno in 2008, where Cruz brought new life to an original 1920s George Merrick home in Coral Gables. “We managed to create a breathtaking five-bedroom, six-bathroom custom home, built around two 100-year-old oak trees,” she says. “Pictures of the project’s ‘Cuban Kitchen’ circulated virally within the trade and caught the eye of some scouts and editors.” Ultimately, that sparked well over a

decade of project features and a growing clientele. It has kept Cruz and her team busy, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t dipped toes into other pursuits. In 2018, they launched Maggie Cruz Home at High Point Market. The furniture line has become something of a fan favorite, offline and on. “We’ve leverage platforms like Chairish and Perigold to reach new audiences.”
What kinds of communities, areas of focus or types of projects do you specialize in? Although my projects have taken me to New York, Casa de Campo and other popular hot spots, our projects are primarily located in exclusive South Florida communities, like Coral Gables, Cocoplum, Key Biscayne, Miami Beach, South Miami and Pinecrest. We specialize in new construction, working alongside top architects and builders. Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success? This year marked my sixteenth in business and tenth as a mother. Personally, I think learning to balance those has been a great accomplishment. It has also historically been difficult to penetrate the top-tier design industry in South Florida, so I take pride in doing so as a local, female, Cuban American designer.

“My work is just a string of reactions from what I see and experience—keeping my eyes open, always.”
uan Poggi “listens and then designs.” The interior designer and owner of Poggi Design in Miami prioritizes one-on-one encounters with clients, which inform his process. Based on their feedback, Poggi places every fixture and furnishing with purpose. “With the internet’s instant satisfaction, we forget to interact with humans. But that in-person connection, for me, is priceless,” Poggi says. Once he and his clients have nailed down an aesthetic vision, Poggi works closely with his team to create spaces that encompass comfort, safety and beauty. “My work has no translation without my team,” Poggi says of the individuals who help him create each personalized oasis. Just as he takes an authentic approach with his clients, Poggi also doesn’t like to purchase pieces from behind a screen. Rather, he visits showrooms and storefronts in person to select design elements for each project. “That way, I see the people of my industry,” he says.

or all the importance of form and function, ROYE understands that it isn’t just the aesthetics or practicality of a space that matter. “The way a home makes you feel and the memories it may help to conjure and hold are equally as worthy of attention,” says Yessenia Cardenas, who together with Robert Zemnickis acts as principal of the interior design firm. She continues, “ROYE regards interior design as the ultimate form of self-expression. It is a three-dimensional articulation of one’s innermost self.” With that in mind, Cardenas, Zemnickis and team have one goal that remains relevant to every
project: capture the client’s essence and take it to new places. They aim to help homeowners find the style choices that will best express themselves and suit their lifestyles, as well as the architecture and site. The latter does prove a paramount influence, given the inspirational tropical locale in which ROYE has found its footing. “We work mostly in South Florida’s high-end residential communities, like Gables Estates, Miami Shores, Golden Beach and Miami Beach,” Zemnickis explains. That said, they also have some exciting commercial renovations in the works, including three of Miami’s hottest spots: Bâoli, Marion and El Tucán.
ASK THE EXPERT Name some influences and inspirations that inform your work. Cardenas: The French modern style (think Christian Liaigre and Joseph Dirand). It works well in a more relaxed environment without feeling too casual or kitschy. How can clients work with trade professionals to ensure a painless design process? Zemnickis: By making sure they are 100 percent prepared and ready to commit to decisions. Changes midway are one of the biggest problem starters. Also, hire the right people (not just the cheapest), considering their abilities and how well they seem to understand your desires. What project would you love to take on? Cardenas: Something in Paris or London! They are two of my most favorite places. But I just love traveling anywhere; a different context can be so inspiring and bring great challenges.

hen asked to share a brief timeline of key milestones and successes in his career thus far, Orlando Comas says, “50 years cannot be explained briefly, but perhaps the most important series of moments has been the sound relationships I’ve built with my clients, particularly those who come to the table with something to say. I could not ask for more.” Upon further exploring the landscape architect’s perspective, the value he places on client involvement becomes clearer. “I do not believe in imposing a style,” Comas says. “I try to work with my clients to discover their needs, likes and dislikes. They must end
up with a project they enjoy and will make good use of.” Although he has created stunning commercial and hospitality spaces as well, Comas focuses primarily on high-end residential because of the close relationship with clients. Asked for the advice he gives each one, he says, “Many people do not understand the distinction between a landscaper, landscape designer and landscape architect,” he says. “I constantly explain and advocate for knowing this, because only landscape architects are regulated and licensed by the state. We are equipped not only to design beautiful places, but to expertly handle grading and drainage, irrigation, lighting, hardscape, etc.”

Inspired by Caribbean residences, a Coral Gables property is an indoor-outdoor paradise.

ndoor-outdoor living is a prevalent concept in South Florida, but it’s an obvious attraction when a house is bordered on three sides by water. Such was the case for a Coral Gables estate whose peninsula-like setting enticed an outdoors-loving family. “It is a very special property,” says the designer, Robert Rionda. “This is one of the coolest spots in Miami to watch storms come in and the weather change.” It makes sense, then, that the project’s architect, Rafael Portuondo, was inspired by great houses of the Caribbean. “The Caribbean vernacular mostly has a feeling of indoor-outdoor,” he explains. “Homes in that style have panoramic views. They’re designed to be open and have cross-ventilation.” Portuondo planned this residence in likewise fashion, wrapping the structure in large covered terraces linked to nearly every room. Lined with Iroko wood ceilings, they offer protection from strong winds—meaning no matter the weather, there is always a spot to enjoy the environment comfortably. Another nod to island living is the home’s striking display of organic materials. Grounded in oolite boulders hand-chiseled for an organic appearance, the base of the exterior “looks like it’s coming out of the ground,” Portuondo muses. The façade’s primary material, however, is Coralina, a coral stone used for centuries in places like Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Uniquely, its running bond pattern continues into the interior of the main public rooms, including the entry gallery and the great room, which contains the living, dining and sitting areas. This decision was partly a personal one, says builder JC Mendiola, who worked on the project with his father, general contractor Jose C. Mendiola Jr. “The clients had visited Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, where coral stone is often wrapped around houses into interiors,” he explains. The reason: The rock is moisture resistant and therefore ideal for spaces such as the great room, which nearly doubles in size when its terrace is accessible. “Because the clients like to entertain and keep the doors open, we chose coral stone rather than drywall to prevent condensation from forming,” Portuondo says. “We designed the house to be flexible when open.”
The structure’s graceful exterior columns and traditional crown molding add a classical touch to the tropical feel, yet the owners wanted the residence to be more comfortable than formal. Rionda introduced all new furnishings, although many offer a midcentury or an antique inspiration, such as the curvy-legged consoles flanking the fireplace in the great room’s sitting area. “The clients also really like organic design,” he adds. “We used a lot of Brazilian and wood pieces.” The oversize live-edge dining table, for instance, is made from one long walnut slab and large enough for two host chairs at each end. The furnishings’ wood palette, ranging from medium to dark hues, takes cues from the home’s oak flooring, which is stained in varying rich tones for contrast. “The furniture echoed that,” the designer says. As for softer pieces, Rionda was inspired by the shifting colors of the sky and sea as daytime hours fade to nightfall. “I wanted to keep the main components of the furniture pretty neutral but work with some soft blues and greens for accents to integrate with the foliage outside and the changing water colors,” he says. He incorporated light-colored upholstery in casual materials such as textured linens, slubbed raw silk and jutes, including flat-weave rugs in the living and dining areas. “There is not a lot of variation in color,” he notes, “so we were working more with textures when using those neutrals.” Those touches of sea tones show up in places such as the family room’s patterned rug and the primary bedroom’s dark blue headboard. But its most unexpected appearance is in the kitchen. When the initial idea for a neutral backsplash was unavailable, Rionda took an opposite turn toward deep blue handmade subway tiles. “I always like to integrate one or two accent colors in the house,” he says. “This was a way of bringing blue into the kitchen as well but going much deeper into a navy.” Linen counter stools in a similar shade further establish the hue’s presence. Inside and outside, the residence is a true balancing act, Portuondo says. “This is a good mix of historical architecture and contemporary edge with the furnishings,” he reflects. And just like the home’s coral stone backdrop, the architect adds, “it’s elegant and casual at the same time.”

f there exists an antonym of “mass-produced,” it could be the defining description of Grove + Anchor. Rob Cortes, the artisan behind the Dania Beach wood furniture brand, says the name denotes both his medium of choice and his commitment to the purity of his discipline. “When I have all the boards I order for my pieces stacked up in my shop, it’s kind of like a grove of trees,” he observes. “ ‘Anchor’ is a reminder to stay true to the fundamentals of woodworking and the craftsmanship of creating furniture by hand, the traditional way.” Although his methods are classic—Cortes favors handheld tools over automated machinery—his style is contemporary and minimal. His mainly standalone pieces, which include tables, benches, credenzas and bedroom furnishings, are all custom, yet each demonstrates the clean-lined, modern forms that characterize his work. For every creation, Cortes hand-selects each wood slab, scrutinizing the grain pattern and color consistency. He leans primarily toward ash and white oak for their strength, durability and pliant response to the humid climate of South Florida. “From there, I let the wood speak to me and the materials take the direction,” he says. The carpentry process, Cortes describes, “starts loudly and ends quietly”—an aspect furthered by the music playing in the background as he works. To begin, rock songs belt out over the din of his tools as he cuts and sands boards; from there, the calmer assembly stage occurs during a podcast session or a round of slow tunes. “The quiet time is the part I enjoy the most,” he says, “because it’s a little more Zen and not so chaotic.” To end, he applies a finish similar to a hard wax oil for a matte appearance, so each piece looks and feels as natural as possible. Cortes honed his skills at a Brooklyn trade school, briefly worked in Kansas City and then moved to South Florida to launch Grove + Anchor in 2015. Up next, he’s producing his first line of made-to-order furniture, to be released starting in March, culminating with six to eight pieces that can be customized. “I want to strip down all the busy-ness that can go into furniture and minimize it as much as possible,” he says. “I feel like if you implement a minimalistic signature piece into a home, it speaks for itself. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
In his Dania Beach studio, woodworker Rob Cortes (bottom) crafts custom, minimaliststyle furnishings. Eschewing heavy machinery, he wields handheld tools (left) to construct each piece. The passion runs in the family: His father designed and finished furniture for four decades, often bringing his son into his New York City workshop (below).

Case in point: the steel-railing staircase that cradles Made Goods’ Noor table and Outpost Original’s Aria benches. A custom artwork hangs against a wall painted Benjamin Moore White Heron. Flooring from Cavastone flows underfoot, and Apparatus’ Synapse pendant suspends above.
W
hen a couple decided their Palm Beach vacation home needed a modest refresh, they asked their longtime interior designer, Kelly Anthony, to help select new options for the walls and flooring. But comparing paint swatches quickly turned into something much more. “We studied the house for a bit, and I said, ‘I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news,’ ” Anthony told her clients. “ ‘The good news is I’m not going to change one thing. The bad news is I’m going to change everything.’ ” Nearly a decade earlier, Anthony had designed the dwelling’s previous iteration, which featured a classic Palm Beach style. This time, however, she envisioned a clean, modern take on the island’s aesthetic, with an open, light-filled plan. Achieving this would require a full gut renovation, so she partnered with general contractor Jason Willoughby as well as Matthew Quinn of Design Galleria Kitchen and Bath Studio to help transform the structure inside and outside. First on the agenda was overhauling the layout of the main floor. “It had a real Mediterranean vibe—so a lot of confined spaces and darker rooms,” Willoughby recalls. “Everything was kind of sectioned off.” The walls dividing the kitchen, dining area, living room and loggia all came down, creating a long, beautifully flowing space leading to the back courtyard. The general contractor installed steel-framed windows and doors along the back wall to bring in more natural light as well as views of the plunge pool and elegant grounds in the modest courtyard by landscape architect Dustin M. Mizell. “We made a really small space feel more gracious,” says Mizell, who added plantings such as Senegal date palm, yellow tabebuia and jasmine vines. Two dining areas offer ample space for entertaining, and the wine room now functions as a bar thanks to a new pass-through window into the living area. “Once we connected all the spaces and opened up the back of the house, it took on a completely different personality,” Anthony says. Quinn, meanwhile, worked his magic in the kitchen. To create a sleek space that complements the rest of the architecture, he cleverly hid appliances and gadgets behind retractable doors and deep drawers. Monochromatic materials such as rift-cut oak cabinets, Cristallo quartzite and deep chocolate-hued wood floors set a sophisticated
tone. “It was really about creating a space where somebody could cook a meal if they wanted to, but mostly it was a beautiful space,” Quinn says. Outside, Anthony and Willoughby intended to smooth the exterior’s textured stucco façade and replace the barrel tile roof with a charcoal flat one. But the town’s architectural commission denied the plans, because several nearby residences were being built in a similar transitional style. Instead, they found other ways to modernize the old world style exterior, including introducing a glassand-steel front door, a motor court and a ribbon driveway. In the end, “we feel the direction the board made us go in actually provided for more of a unique home,” Willoughby reflects. “We kept some of the traditional elements, which give it that real Palm Beach vibe. Then when you walk inside, it wows you even more.” Simply opening the front door of the Mediterranean-style façade unveils a dramatic surprise: a modern hallway enveloped in crisp white walls and lined with veined marble flooring. Throughout the interior, Anthony pursued a contemporary color palette dominated by black, white and gray, with neutral pops of ivory. As a nod to the wife, who designs clothes, she channeled fashion influence in each space, incorporating Chanel-inspired bouclé, art with a sartorial spin and jewelry-like light fixtures. “She likes things to be feminine, elegant,” the interior designer says of the wife, “but she also likes a bit of glitter and glam.” Sculptural and curvy furnishings inject an enticing level of comfort, countering some of the dwelling’s more commanding features—like the dark gray linen wing chairs that play off the living area’s striking black marble fireplace, the bar room’s low-slung beige sectional that balances graphic wall art and the rounded velvet sofa that hugs the marble breakfast table. But the coziest space, rightfully so, is the primary bedroom. “We wanted to make the room feel like it was enveloped in fabric,” Anthony says. “The space feels very clean, open and bright.” With the backdrop of a gray marble fireplace, she warmed the room even more with nubby seating, a plush rug and a channel-set vinyl headboard wall, all in neutral shades. By the end of the renovation, Anthony was proved correct: The team had indeed changed not one thing but rather everything. And that, it turns out, includes the desires of the residents. “They trusted us to give them what they didn’t even know they wanted,” she says.

The Miami home of architects Marlene and Sergio Artigues “is a play of volumes,” Sergio says. The structure features burnished porcelain slabs from Iberia Tiles that simulate cold-rolled steel, poured-in-place exposed reinforced concrete, glass railings from AMG Glass Fencing & Railings and painted stucco.
A
nyone who’s ever found themselves knee-deep in a pile of outdated clothes knows how satisfying it can feel to purge your closet—and your life—of unwanted apparel. But what about the architectural equivalent: What happens when an entire room no longer sparks joy? Even before Miami architects Marlene and Sergio Artigues became empty nesters, they were beginning to tire of the scale and aesthetic of the French-style family home they built more than 15 years ago. “As you grow up, your tastes change,” Sergio acknowledges. So when a tear-down around the block went up for sale—a property Marlene passed every day while walking their dogs—they knew the time was right to channel all their ideas about downsizing into a new residence that would be a departure from everything they had built to that point. “Our previous home was very formal,” Marlene recalls. Sergio adds, “We used our dining room maybe a handful of times; the second family room was a playroom, but our sons are older now.” Just like discarding clothes that haven’t been worn in a while, “we did that with rooms,” Marlene says. The couple conceived a contemporary loft-style structure driven as much by efficiency of space as the tropical modernism of a vacation villa in Bali. Only four areas fill the first floor: the kitchen, great room, laundry room and powder room. There is no dining room, no den, no hidden office tucked away in a back corner. Rather, the latter exists as an extension of the primary suite on the second level, its only partition being a Mondrian-inspired bookcase that maintains privacy for the primary bathroom while underscoring the house’s angular geometry. “We realized we really love informality,” observes Sergio, who designed the spaces to flow into each other, eschewing doors to enhance flexibility and a sense of connection. “We went outside the box and thought of what we really use, and that dictated the style.” Sergio’s interest in gravity-defying volumes guided the rest. The main bedroom is an ambitious cantilevered space delineated by large swaths of exposed concrete inside and burnished porcelain slabs outside that resemble cold-rolled steel—an engineering feat that is as complicated as it is
beautiful. The structure rests amid a riot of tropical and native greenery, including ferns and palms, stands of bamboo, sea grape bushes and gumbo limbo trees. Steel-reinforced, floor-to-ceiling storefront glass windows allow for the seamless interplay of landscaping and interiors while keeping the worst of South Florida’s steamy weather at bay. The combination of those competing volumes and the rough-hewn mix of materials creates a series of liminal spaces that blur the lines between interior and exterior environments. Like the tropical flora that’s always in the background, French oak flooring softens the sleek kitchen island’s richly veined Calacatta Gold marble as well as the rustic striations of the great room’s exposed concrete wall. Sergio designed the staircase—an engineering marvel done in one seemingly miraculous cement pour—to provide transparency and create a sculptural architectural element that is “a focal point of the great room as well as the pool and pool deck beyond,” he explains. Low-slung furnishings in earthy tones and simple forms, such as the living area’s black sectional and the primary bedroom’s cream-colored bed, keep the focus always on the greenery outside. And a pair of walnut wood screens offers privacy from the main rooms on the first floor, while floor-toceiling windows in the main bedroom give the space the look of a canopy-top aerie. “It feels like you’re floating in a tree house,” Marlene muses. The outdoor spaces are designed with a similarly imperceptible sense of connection between the interiors and nature. Inspired by Balinese architecture, the patio and pool area feels worlds away. “We’re homebodies, but we love to travel,” Marlene says. Beneath the overhang created by the cantilevered primary suite, a ceiling of ipe wood paneling and a wall of burnished porcelain act as grounding forces for an outdoor living room nestled among the verdant vegetation. The pool— a heated spa and cold plunge tank separated by tile divider—serves as a reflecting pool when viewed from the house’s entrance. The overlapping versatility makes it easy to forget all of these features are packed into a lot that’s less than one-fifth of an acre. “We wanted to take advantage of every space,” Sergio says. “We kept only our most prized pieces and bought what we truly loved for this home. It is highly curated.” It’s also sure to spark joy for years to come.

THE LOOK “Vero Beach has many architectural styles, but I think the one that comes to mind the most often is the West Indies look,” Sweeney shares. “I also think that the architects here have blended the Key West and West Indies aesthetics very well—that combination is popular in new construction. As for interior design styles, I think when people come to Vero it is often a second or third home, and they want it to be light and bright as compared to their primary residence. They seek that coastal modern feel. But there is a fair balance of modern and traditional design requests.”
PLACES TO BE Sweeney offers up insights on Vero Beach’s neighborhoods and her weekend happenings. •S ome of our most noteworthy communities are John’s Island, Windsor, The Moorings, Riomar and Palm Island Plantation. •O n an ideal Saturday, I would do some local shopping or spend time at the beach, then hit up my favorite restaurant, Green Marlin, and maybe catch a theatrical production or comedy hour at Riverside Theatre.

With touches of tropical and chinoiserie elements, the Palm Beach Regency style was first pioneered by the likes of Dorothy Draper and Carlton Varney. Today, it serves as muse for Tiffany Sweeney, owner of Decor Envy. “Some years ago, I was struggling to source colorful accessories and furniture for my clients’ homes,” Sweeney says. “I was tired of the sea of beige and gray everywhere; I wanted to find something that gave me butterflies … this aesthetic was it.” It wasn’t long before Sweeney turned her newfound inspiration into a resource for the Vero Beach design community. Decor Envy offers pieces that suit the stylistic leanings of local interior designers and homeowners alike. It also ensures their designs will last. “The salt air here corrodes everything, and sand and water get tracked inside regularly,” Sweeney says. “We aim for durable finishes and materials that are resistant to water and stains.”

“Vero has managed to balance its small-town charm with worldclass amenities and has a strong community that rallies together to preserve the natural beauty by which we are surrounded while still allowing for welldesigned residences,” Lyles says. “Smart planning and strong ties are key in building here; everything is very strategic to ensure the utmost quality and careful growth. Commercial has not been allowed to overrun the beachside area, which maintains the tranquil community feel.”

What are the tenets of a luxurious, Vero Beach estate? Well, if anyone would know, it’s RCL. The developer has been a fixture in Florida, collaborating with preeminent architects, interior designers and landscape architects to craft timeless places with unparalleled precision. And according to president Robert Lyles (who was recently joined by vice president Alex Wells), the art of building the perfect Vero Beach home could be summed up by two concepts: “First, if there’s a view, showcase it. Second, trends may come and go, but quality craftsmanship stands the test of time.” Of course, in a climate like Florida, durability and code concerns play a major role too. Lyles, Wells and their team accomplish it all time and again, for young families and empty nesters alike. “From West Indies to traditional or coastal contemporary, we bring beautiful designs to life on time and on budget.”
