T R EN DS IN R E N OVAT IO N | GREATER NEW YORK “Door and cabinet hardware is the ultimate finishing touch for any kind of door.”
BEAUTY WITH BENEFITS It’s a fascinating time to be in the hardware industry, especially when standards have been raised to achieve not only form and function, but also germ prevention. In the realm of anti-microbial materials, new hardware products are being developed with an active ingredient that helps prevent the growth of bacteria, along with coatings and finishes that kill microbes.
HAMILTON SINKLER 212.760.3377 | hamiltonsinkler.com |
hamiltonsinkler
Few hardware companies exist like Hamilton Sinkler—one that partners closely with its clients to create the perfect product. Its process is purely collaborative, starting with learning what the homeowner likes stylistically and then translating that thought into hardware. Rob Suri, principal of the architectural and decorative hardware company, says that philosophically, Hamilton Sinkler strives to execute the hardware needs of its clients in as creative a manner as possible (in as little as six to eight weeks) and bring to light any vision they might have regarding a product they have conceived. One highly custom solution, Suri recalls, was a bear-proof lever that a client wanted for their home in the Rocky Mountains. While the technology for such a request had previously been established, Hamilton Sinkler was quick to merge function and aesthetics for a successful, enduring product.
LET’S TALK HARDWARE •M ost frequently asked questions: Is there hardware that is beautiful and functional? Is there a brass finish that won’t tarnish if residing by the sea? Are there digital locks that have authentic period details? (The answers are: yes, yes and yes.) •T rending upward: Matte black, burnished finishes and natural cast brass products that show off natural blemishes have been popular. •D istinctly Hamilton Sinkler: The former Barneys New York is adorned with front door pulls by Hamilton Sinkler. They are still there today.
Top Chic and elegant faux horn pulls come in a variety of shades. They are made to order for a six-week delivery. Item code: DP041H-OX. Right Hamilton Sinkler’s faux tees are redolent of a time when small details made big impressions. Item code: CK041.

For an apartment above Manhattan’s High Line, a designer looks to future life on Mars for inspiration.
The marshland setting of one Connecticut home imbues its interiors with a warm, organic coastal style.
A natural toolbox of wind, water, salt and sun colors the totemic canvases of this Fire Island-based artist.
Collecting inspiration from the past and overseas, a traditional Southampton home becomes anything but.

LETTER
What Sustains Us
For this issue on The Power of Architecture, I’ve been reflecting on its purpose and meaning. Aside from shelter, security and function, architecture serves as a spatial arrangement that forges communities and speaks to the culture of a place. At best, the spaces that surround us enrich the quality of interactions we have within them. It’s the reason we feel peaceful while sitting by a poolside loggia or happiness when ascending a stairwell with a view of nature. Our homes, and the buildings we encounter in our daily lives, also reveal much about how we see ourselves. The potency of architecture lies in its ability to innovate through materiality and design, to push us to think differently about our environment, and, most importantly, to lift the human spirit.

The most innovative dishwasher ever. From the world’s premier sustainable appliance brand.
With CornerIntense®, the industry’s first rectangular-motion spray arm, Beko’s 36, 38 and 39 model dishwashers clean dishes like never before. But they also use half the water and two-thirds the energy. It’s the most significant breakthrough in dishwasher technology in nearly 100 years. Along with this revolutionary approach, Beko’s new line includes custom panel options with fully flush installation and industry-standard dimensions. It also boasts a suite of impressive features. beko.com/us-en bekoappliancesusa beko_usa bekoappliancesusa
• The EverClean™ filter automatically rinses with pressurized water to remove food residue and debris, keeping it cleaner up to four times longer.
• DeepWash™ technology uses three water-adjustable jets to make sure tall bottles or jars with narrow openings get the extra powerful clean they need, too. • Next up, SelfDry™ unseals and opens the door on its own, letting air in to dry dishes naturally without the use of additional energy. Oh, and did we mention? These dishwashers are so quiet (the 39 model’s operating sound level is 39dBa), you’ll need the red light that shines on the floor to know they’re running. They’re the planet’s new best friend—and yours too. Bring your Beko home, starting in late May 2022.

Cleaner dishes. Cleaner planet. Cleaner conscience. Beko’s mission is simple, yet impressive. It aims to redefine what is possible in terms of performance, reduce the use of natural resources and price within the reach of everyone who wants to lead a healthy and eco-friendly life. It seems a tall order, but Beko has done it time and again, and its latest endeavor champions the trio of intentions.
Rising to the challenge of the dirtiest dishes, glassware, pots and pans, Beko dishwashers conquer it all for more peace of mind.

What’s the meaning behind the name Trad Nouveau? For me, Trad Nouveau is the tension point where modernity meets antiquity. It’s eclectically exuberant and unapologetic in terms of mixing textures, patterns and colors. It’s not staid—rather, it’s fashion-forward.
MEMBERS ONLY THE LANGHAM CLUB WRITTEN BY ANN PERES
High above Fifth Avenue, the notable Langham New York is debuting The Langham Club, an elevated members-only in which to work and socialize. Here, on the hotel’s fourth floor, members are granted exclusive access to the all-day club area—an expression of the latest trend in luxury travel befitting guests who prioritize privacy and personalization.

A private library is also home to The Langham’s signature Writer’s Corner. Adding the final touch to this completely luxurious stay-work-relax experience, refreshments are on repeat all day, featuring special culinary presentations, evening cocktails and canapés. Membership is included with the booking of an executive club room or suite, while guests in any other room category can add club privilege for an additional rate. langhamhotels.com

Tell us about your creative process for this collection. Kravet and I looked at many different things for inspiration: my handdrawn sketches, Art Deco architecture in New York and 18th-century archival finds. The collection is versatile and offers multiple applications in the interior space—from furniture and window treatments to wallcoverings and beyond. I can’t wait for the world at large to see what we’ve created. What advice would you give someone who wants to bring a touch of nouveau to their decor? You can always liven up traditional spaces with judicious accents of modernity. Clean-lined window treatments, throw pillows, bold artwork and unique surface accessories can go a long way in changing a room’s vibe.

Bold New York interior designer Corey Damen Jenkins teamed up with Kravet Couture to launch Trad Nouveau, a 45-piece collection of textiles embodying his fresh take on traditional design. Through an array of prints, stripes and saturated colorways, it spans plush fabrics, from velvets to jacquards and embroidery. Here, Jenkins shares insights on his design philosophy and how this collection came to be. kravet.com; coreydamenjenkins.com.

A mainstay of New York’s design scene since 1989, the antiques and collectible design dealer Bernd Goeckler is ushering in a new era under the stewardship of second-generation owner and gallery director Katja Hirche, niece of the late Goeckler who passed away in 2019. While honoring her family’s proud lineage of discovery, Hirche is scripting the next chapter, championing a fresh roster of contemporary makers. Proof that you can respect tradition while turning your eye to the future, new designs share the gallery floor with antiques. Below, Hirche previews three need-to-know talents currently on view. berndgoeckler.com
ROBERTO RIDA “We have featured Roberto’s works for many years now, and we love his idea of incorporating vintage glass into new lighting designs. His imagination is vast and his delivery tailored to any interior.”
TALK OF THE TOWN A.MANO BROOKLYN
Born from founder Katherine Wells’ desire to showcase local artists in a community-driven space, A.Mano, a brick-and-mortar storefront, has opened in Prospect Heights. Designers on display include Justin Rothshank, Adams Puryear, Stephanie DeArmond, Steph Becker, Alison Owen, Julia Elsas, Jessica Rust, Dustin Yager and Gigi Sharp. In addition, A.Mano carries antiques, vintage furniture and fabrics from Voutsa, Cowan + Tout, Kravet, Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn, Raf Simons for Kvadrat, Natasha Baradan, Knoll and Timorous Beasties. As an added bonus, an on-site coffee shop provides locals with a new gathering spot. Luxe sat down with Wells to learn more about the showroom and the craftsmanship it celebrates. amanobrooklyn.com

What inspires you about Brooklyn’s art community? One of the best parts about having this store is going on studio visits. I’m excited by the idea of getting an artist’s work out of their own space and into the home of someone who really loves it. Tell us about your passion for antiquing and collecting vintage furniture. I’ve been drawn to interesting shops, flea markets, yard sales and estate sales for as long as I can remember. My grandmother was a fantastic collector! When I first came to New York, I worked in a high-end Madison Avenue folk art gallery and fell in love with that, along with early American furniture and accessories. You’ll see it in the store’s vintage selections, which, for instance, includes stoneware crocks. Is there a maker at A.Mano that’s particularly special to you? That’s like asking me to pick my favorite child. Dustin Yager means a lot to me. He was one of the first artists to agree to sell his work here. He makes colorful mugs and tumblers with dirty phrases— people love them!

TALKING SHOP
ASSEMBLY LINE General Assembly, the architecture and design studio helmed by Sarah Zames and Colin Stief, is expanding its footprint in Brooklyn to include Assembly Line, a new design center and decor shop in Boerum Hill. Zames and Stief were inspired to open a boutique to service home improvement needs, offering high quality materials from clé to Calico Wallpaper and Kast Concrete Basins. “We wanted to create a place where anyone interested in design, either personally or professionally, could find inspiration, flip through magazines, explore the work of local artists and feel at home,” explains Zames. Customers can put together a palette from Assembly Line’s materials library or simply browse the shop’s curated selection of home-ready pieces. These include lighting, rugs and furniture, as well as special objects by designers like Established & Sons, Hannah Bigeleisen, Steven Bukowski, Fort Standard and In Common With. “We feel confident to have them in our shop,” says Zames, “because we’ve used their designs in our own projects time and time again.” assemblyline.co
When Suzanne and Lauren McGrath, the mother-daughter design duo behind McGrath II, moved their studio from Madison Avenue to Greenwich, Connecticut, last March, they didn’t initially plan to open a retail arm. “As we built out our office, the space next door was also open and we thought, why not expand and fill it with things we love?” Lauren recalls. Along with her husband Chris Lospalluto, the pair launched the McGrath II studio shop, filling its shelves with products from their favorite ceramicists, artists and designers. “Finding pieces for the shop is something we do naturally everyday as we source for all our design projects,” says Lauren. “We often buy a few items for a client from a dealer and purchase something special for the store at the same time.” Some of their favorite finds include handmade table lamps with straw lampshades from a Barcelona-based artist, vintage pots from rural Maine and small vases in an array of colors from a ceramicist in the Berkshires. “It’s all about the mix—sourcing vintage and antique pieces from different countries and periods. We’re always bringing in new merchandise, and so much of it is one of a kind,” Lauren adds. “The idea is that every time you stop by, there’s always something fresh and interesting to see.” mcgrath2.com

Luxe examines heritage design today with soulful product launches, an ode to Shingle style architecture and wellness communities making waves.
HOMEOWNERS WHO PRIORITIZE HOLISTIC HEALTH IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE LOOKING TO THE SOUTH—WHERE WELLNESS COMMUNITIES AND AGRIHOODS ARE RISING FAST. W R I T T E N B Y K AT H R Y N O ’ S H E A- E VA N S
It’s not often that a kid’s birthday party will change your life. But for Monica Olsen, who hosted her son’s fourth fête at Serenbe, a wellness community 32 miles from her then-home in Atlanta, it was a transformative experience. “We had a pony party at the gorgeous stables which were designed by architect Peter Block and it was this magical day,” she recalls. “We thought, ‘Maybe we should just stop at the real estate office while we’re here…’ They pointed out a house, we bought it and basically never left!”
LUXESOURCE.COM
Founded in 2005, Serenbe is tailormade to help residents live their best lives. It’s outfitted with a new 3,000-squarefoot spa, yoga studio, swim club, artist in residence program, lush hiking trails and many more wellness-geared elements that make it idyllic to say the least. And, it’s gaining traction: The community had around 100 residents when Olsen purchased her home in 2009, and boasts 1,000 today. All properties there—including townhouses, cottages and estates, most of which look more like
they’re in Scandinavia than Georgia— are EarthCraft certified. (Translation: they’re energy and water efficient, saving 30 percent of the energy costs of a typical home.) And Serenbe is not the only Southern community that epitomizes the notion that health is wealth. “Agrihood”—planned developments that mingle sustainablybuilt real estate and farm-to-your-owntable amenities—is booming. Just miles from downtown Asheville, North Carolina, 346-acre community Olivette Riverside

Community & Farm sits perched along the French Broad River and features a four-acre organic farm. Every home here is required to use a geothermal heating and cooling system, which comes with a hidden perk in the sweltering Southern summers: no HVAC noise buzzing. Broker and owner Allison Smith notes, “Pandemic migration has taken property sales through the roof as major lifestyle changes allow people to now work from anywhere.” Meanwhile, at Tennessee’s 5,200-acre hotel and residence Blackberry Mountain, sister property to the iconic Blackberry Farm, the lucky few private homeowners

on premises have access to wellness offerings that range from sound bathing to an aerial yoga platform. And yes—the untrammeled wilderness is a huge part of the allure too. Only 20 miles from Charleston is the new Kiawah River, where half of the 2,000-acre waterfront community will remain entirely wild and untouched. Protecting the natural world here is vitally important to this agrihood, which includes The Goatery—a farm dedicated
to artisanal goat milk products—beehives and pasture-raised cattle as well as myriad farms for produce. Residents can also enjoy maritime forest trails where everything from bald eagle pairings to migrating monarch butterflies are frequently spotted. “We love the community and people,” Kiawah River homeowner Megan Hendricks says. “But most of all, we love the wildlife we get to see every day while walking on the paths by the river.”

ARCHITECT THOMAS KLIGERMAN REFLECTS ON THE ENDURING APPEAL OF AN INNATELY AMERICAN VERNACULAR. A S T O L D T O G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T
When I close my eyes and imagine a house, I picture the sounds it makes: footsteps on the staircase, slamming screen doors, faint voices from downstairs while falling asleep. If someone asked me where I’d choose to live out my days, I’d say a Shingle style home because they reverberate like a drum. My connection to buildings has always been visceral. By the time I left for college, I had lived in 10 houses— saltboxes up and down Connecticut; apartments in New York, London and Paris; an adobe in New Mexico. My father’s work moved us often, but summers were always for sailing in Rhode Island, which is where my love for shingled homes cemented. Shingle style architecture emerged in Newport in 1876, combining the simple forms of early Colonial buildings with the quirks of Victorian Stick style. The 1880s were fascinating years—everything was brave and new. During this time, rooms grew from small, symmetrical boxes into episodic progressions with
abstract shapes and enormous doors that opened onto terraces. These homes weren’t trying to be Italianate villas or French chateaus. Here was an American style. I’m grouped with classical architects, but I’m a closet modernist who is always pushing to see how modern traditional homes can become—yet I never want to lose sight of what people love about them. Shingles are a medium that encourages daring design because they’re so lightweight. You can have soaring cantilevers and chimneys that look like great blades dropped from the heavens. With shingles, you can make a home look like the sail of a boat filled with air. Have you ever sat on the porch of a shingled house in the rain? There’s this wonderful, cozy scent from the cedar that brings comfort like a favorite sweater. That’s the thing; no matter who you are, whether you live in Santa Fe or Seal Harbor, the draw of home is strong for Americans. And Shingle style buildings don’t look like houses, they look—and feel—like homes.

Parisian designer Vincent Darré’s fantastical collection with OKA includes the Spiral Lamp & Shade, XIV Mirror, Gemini Vase and Lyric Console Table.
LUXESOURCE.COM
As British retailer OKA expands its horizons stateside—it arrived in Dallas last November and will open in Westport, Connecticut, in September—a new collection with French designer Vincent Darré is next on the agenda. Darré, a former fashion heavyweight, captured the imagination of Sue Jones, Co-Founder and Creative Director of OKA, with his Cocteau-esque interiors. “Seeing Vincent’s work in the flesh excited me about the prospect of a collaboration,” recalls Jones after an early visit to Darré’s Paris atelier. “Everything he touches has a sense of drama to it.” For the duo’s tightly edited four-piece collection, Darré channeled OKA’s aristocratic-meets-bohemian style—a look that reminds him of photographer Cecil Beaton’s work—while also referencing the Neoclassical era and romantic 18th-century gardens. The result? Furnishings that work just as well in a group as they do individually. Included are a marble-topped console supported by ancient ruin-inspired legs, a column-like floor lamp (its spiral shade reminds Jones of a Philip Treacy hat), a black-and-white Grecian face vase and a mirror embellished with musical instruments and starfish. The playful collaboration allowed Jones and Darré to have a little fun while still championing true craftsmanship and creative ingenuity. oka.com

Lasting Lineage Sara Hayat Design
Design is in Sara Hayat’s DNA. Since the 1870s, her family’s company M. Hayat & Bros. has produced luxury furnishings for everyone from royal households to prominent clients, including John F. Kennedy and his famous White House rocker. So, it comes as no surprise that the need to be creative eventually struck. Setting aside a career in finance, Colorado-based Hayat set her sights on made-to-order furniture with a debut collection comprising coffee, writing and dining tables, chairs and sofas, and inventive modular seating. Each of the designer’s pieces, which have their genesis in detailed drawings, are handbuilt by her family’s longstanding artisans in Peshawar, Pakistan. While her materials lean traditional (mahogany, marble, cane, brass inlay, leather and velvet), her forms (geometric, floral, stacked and beveled) are anything but ordinary. Hayat studied joinery and detailing techniques by researching her
LUXESOURCE.COM
family’s archival catalogues in addition to referencing some of the world’s greats— Oscar Niemeyer and Pierre Paulin for further inspiration. She also became fascinated with contemporary automobile and fashion styles, making note of what she loved and which aesthetics she responded to emotionally. “Intentional design has the ability to uplift, and I want my furniture to do just that.” And her Tetris-inspired modular sofa provides a plum example. “People should be creative in how they use it,” Hayat explains, noting that the piece can morph from a sleek living room sofa into a fantastical object for play when deconstructed. “These pieces should dazzle, anchor us in the moment and remind us of what we can be.” As the newly minted furniture designer begins using her own pieces at home, she can’t help but reflect on what her parents instilled in her growing up. “My mother always believed that you should surround yourself with items that make you happy.” A legacy Hayat will surely continue to uphold. sara-hayat.com

Feeling Blue
Delft by Plain English is a five-piece tile collection featuring designs inspired by antique tiles that decorate the founder’s own home. Children Playing I (background) and Sea Creatures (inset).
LUXESOURCE.COM
Sometimes inspiration is right under one’s nose. Or in the case of Tony Niblock, co-founder of kitchen manufacturer Plain English, it was right over his Aga range, where an assortment of antique Delft tiles is proudly displayed. Niblock first started collecting the blueand-white squares after spotting them at a historic house in Yoxford, England, in the 1990s. Now, that passion has grown beyond adorning his own home and evolved into the company’s latest offering, Delft by Plain English—a collection of handmade, hand-painted tiles inspired by his findings. “There’s a freshness about the color combination, isn’t there?” posits co-founder Katie Fontana. “And it’s so wonderful that there’s been a renewed interest and understanding around Delft tiles.” The tin-glazed earthenware tiles have been synonymous with the Netherlands since the 17th century when, impervious to heat or water, they became a functional— and charming—wall decoration for homes, public buildings and palaces across Europe. Plain English’s interpretation features figurative depictions of daily life, like children skipping, as well as fantastical scenes including a mermaid admiring her reflection—all in keeping with eclectic British style that is now back in vogue. “There is a naivete about them that people find appealing,” remarks Niblock. plainenglishdesign.co.uk

The highly anticipated Schiaparelli show took place at Paris’ Petit Palais art museum, where the garments, like this treasure-like shift laden with fillagree including gems and pearls, rivaled the glamorous interiors. Under the direction of Texas-born Daniel Roseberry (the first American to helm a French couture house), the predominately black-and-white collection—complete with Schiaparelli’s signature gold adornments—was inspired by a mythical high priestess “at once goddess and alien, who might walk among us,” explains Roseberry. schiaparelli.com.

Synonymous with all things high-fashion, Valentino’s Anatomy of Couture show beautifully challenged the industry’s status quo. Under Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s vision, diverse and dramatic silhouettes graced models of all sizes, ages and backgrounds. One particularly au courant look: a head-to-toe periwinkle ensemble that straddles the line between minimalism and maximalism, while remaining “soft and welcoming in the democratic spirit,” notes Piccioli. valentino.com.

After 16 years, designer Dana Wolter knew it was time to upgrade her Birmingham, Alabama, kitchen. She soon whipped up a pretty, elegant and detail-filled scheme, but above all else, the space needed to stand the test of time. “I like to think of this room as timeless—a kitchen that will age well and get better the more you use it,” Wolter explains. To bring her well-aging vision to life, she opted for eternally exquisite materials like
LUXESOURCE.COM
Calacatta gold marble countertops and unlacquered brass fittings, all of which patina with use and become more beautiful. Wolter also gave careful consideration to several special details, including delicate fluted cabinetry, a hidden marble spice rack above the range and a functional trough sink carved directly into the island. As Wolter learned first-hand, renovating your own space certainly comes with its perks. The designer tweaked and customized every element to align with how she wanted the space to function. One especially lovely area came about from moving walls around: A graceful display niche that houses silver and crystal tableware frequently used for meals.
Here, delicate curved stone motifs on the shelves echo detailing on the center island to tie the areas together. In contrast to the light, airy kitchen, Wolter had a bit more fun in the pantry, where a moody palette and graphic marble slab surfaces add a touch of drama. “My intention with the pantry was to repeat some of the finishes and treatments in the kitchen, and to make the rooms flow,” the designer explains. “But at the same time, I wanted the pantry to be a little bolder.” Ample storage, refrigerator drawers, and a second dishwasher allow the space to function as a workhorse and keep messes out of sight. A successful passion project, indeed! danawolterinteriors.com

Interior designer Margaret Kaywell’s client sought an office space of a different color. Namely, one that would inspire future ventures, and host friends and associates for work and play alike. He found his answer in a run-down bungalow in West Palm Beach, which Kaywell—in collaboration with MP Design & Architecture and Tim Givens Building & Remodeling—imagined as a sumptuous private clubhouse. Reworking the layout from the studs, Kaywell conceived a gracious foyer with velvet banquettes flanked by a conference-meets-dining room on one side, and a billiards room on the other.

Designer Nina Magon faced a unique brief when it came to the media room of a young Houston-based family. “The husband is a serious cards player and wanted a designated place to call his poker room. His wife said, ‘Okay fine, but you need to share it with me and your child!’” So spurred plans for a space that bridges the divide between moody man cave, elegant lounge and kid-friendly play space. “It’s a universally fun room; it works for everything,” notes Magon, pointing to the custom six seat table (the exact headcount for poker night) and adjacent TV area with its wipeable ottoman that rolls away to accommodate a playmat. But the real hero of the space is the custom cabinetry, painted Sherwin-Williams’ Seaworthy, which chicly stashes vestiges of life with a toddler, or a gamesman, as the case may be. ninamagon.com

LAST HURRAH
A family’s early 1800s farmhouse in Litchfield, Connecticut, was a ground-up project—of sorts. Over the course of six years, and led by designer Susan Bednar Long, renovations were tackled phase-by-phase. By the time they set their sights on the unfinished attic, both designer and client had developed a keen sense of what was still missing—a workhorse. On the wish list: A well-appointed office, a gentleman’s lounge for cigar smoking and game nights, a sleep loft for family visits and a bevy of storage. While embracing the original beams and warm wood floors, Long set about modernizing the space with a cozy, masculine mood. Notably, in building out the crooked chimney, she created a stylish built-in
bar-meets-shelving unit wrapped in metallic Hermès wallpaper, which ingeniously serves as a partition between the lounge and office areas. Utilizing every solitary inch (while preserving an airy feel thanks to precisely scaled furnishings), the designer squeezed in a comfy window banquette, an 11-foot-long desk, a flatscreen TV and a sectional. Storage space abounds as well, including the antique home’s original, rehabilitated cubbies that now enclose back-of-house office supplies, camping gear and seasonal storage. “Only the pretty stuff is on view,” notes Long, adding, in the ultimate stamp of approval, “This was never an essential space, but it has become just that.” sblonginteriors.com

UPKEEP TIP TRIO Derrig shares three must-dos to keep one’s Hamptons home as pristine as the blue waters. •T he wind, salt and sun can beat up on wood and more. It’s critical to work with a trusted team that is safeguarding your home and maintaining it often. •L andscape maintenance is also critical.

“I have dogs and I’m an early riser, so I think there is nothing better than watching the sun come up at Georgica or Wiborg Beach and letting the dogs run around,” Derrig says. “When my kids are home they join me and my wife, Dwyer, in this routine.”

The Hamptons is revered the world over for many reasons, but among the foremost is its stunning architecture—a mastery of traditional styles on display. For Michael Derrig and his team at Building Details, that expected quality level is the vision behind their East Hampton work. “Our philosophy is simple: perfection is in the details,” Derrig says. “We deliver the highest caliber of custom construction.” With more than 20 years of experience building fine homes in the Hamptons, starting with his own, Derrig understands the region and its residents. “They are mindful of the traditional architecture, but also want every modern convenience, including large-scale rooms and more contemporary interiors,” says Derrig, who also owns Landscape Details. “Listening is key. We’ve become experts at finding a balance between beauty and budget; timing and timelessness.”
“Best-kept secret? The fresh mozzarella at Red Horse Market and the sweetest corn at Pike Farms. Anything else I share will make me unpopular with my friends.”

Blending old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge concepts is what makes Hamptons design truly unique. At the forefront of this ideal is Gary Ciuffo and his award-winning team at Ciuffo Cabinetry. “We are a family-owned and operated custom millwork firm that has been serving the design community since 1907,” Ciuffo says. “From our headquarters in Bayport, our stunning Southampton showroom and our newly unveiled Westhampton location, we are able to serve our discerning clientele in the Hamptons and across Long Island.” Although the Hamptons are renowned for traditional Shingle-style architecture, innovative design is flourishing. “Architecturally, we are seeing more contemporary homes with clean lines, open layouts and groundbreaking technology,” Ciuffo adds. “With interior design, natural and stained wood finishes, organic materials, mixed metals and bold colors are in high demand.”

THAT HAMPTONS LOOK “This is a place that encapsulates charm, sophistication and that laid-back luxury feel,” Cohen enthuses, on the topic of style in the Hamptons. “Crisp whites and coastal blues are a staple, as well as timber wood, in which luxury vinyl is a great option. We aim to provide it all, with custom carpet collections, private-label exotic hardwoods, water jet cuts and exotic mosaics, Hunter Douglas window treatments, fashion-forward fabrics, designer furniture and more. It all helps our clients discover their version of the Hamptons home.”
BELOVED CHANGE When asked to describe what makes the Hamptons unique, Cohen points to how it almost acts as a living, always evolving thing. “It has a special quality in that it can stay familiar, yet reinvent itself each year,” he says. “Each season brings new hot spots in restaurants, bars, clothing stores and art, all while keeping the historic charm that you know and love.”

Just as the Hamptons itself has evolved from being a summertime destination to a year-round or extended seasonal residence for many, Country Carpet has gone from a flooring specialist to a trusted source for all things home. As president Harris Cohen puts it, “We proudly cater to the professional design community and style-minded homeowner, and they all marvel at our simply massive inventory.” Indeed, with a variety of products and styles, as well as a custom program, at its showroom right off the Long Island Expressway in Syosset, Country Carpet enables its clients to find whatever they need—and it does vary. “The requests we see from full-time residents versus seasonal residents are interesting,” Cohen says. “Customers decorating a summer home want clean looks or to create something funky and outside of the box. Whereas those with year-round Hamptons homes envision a more welcoming, homey feel.”

Having a creative eye, the ability to work across a myriad of styles and vernaculars, and a long view toward maturation and sustainability are essential to creating outstanding Hamptons designs. For nearly 30 years, award-winning landscape designer Frederico Azevedo and his expert team at Unlimited Earth Care have conceived and built landscapes that are comprehensive, timeless and environmentally sensitive. “The Hamptons is a unique place when it comes to design,” Azevedo says. “Although the East End is known for the classic Hamptons style, I find that that aesthetic is always adapting and shifting to encompass new ideas and concepts. I’ve designed landscapes for the most beautiful, traditional homes and created stunning gardens that respond to modern architecture, which is why I always work in a site-specific way. Sometimes a series of graphic boxwoods is right for a traditional home, while an overflowing of hydrangeas suits a contemporary design. And although my aesthetic is fluid, healthy plants and flowers go with every style I design.”

THAT SPRING LIGHT “My favorite time to spend in the Hamptons is early spring,” Theresa shares. “Summers are always so busy with work, but springtime is serene, with bright sunlight. Painters, photographers and writers have been drawn to the sun reflected off the clouds and moonlight off the historic structures for decades. The magic starts with the light.”
DESIGN FOR THE WEEKEND Asked to share what her clients in the Hamptons are seeking, Theresa says, “I think we all realize now more than ever that weekend/ summer homes need to function as well as our primary residences. To that end, there are a few musts. •S pace to work from home comfortably

Like many of the original summertime residents of the Hamptons, who settled in during the 1960s and 70s, Theresa Seabaugh is actually based in Brooklyn. Quite often, though, she makes her way east to work in the famously charming villages. “These towns, which were once mostly traditional architecture, now present an incredible spectrum of styles all across the Hamptons,” she says. “Over the years, the art and finances of New York City have influenced everything from saltbox

styles to bungalows to Greek Revivals.” Her firm, Seabaugh Interiors, is thus well-versed in a variety of aesthetics. “We are experienced in it all and are known for finding those personal elements that will make your house sing,” Theresa says. When she isn’t in design mode, the creative might be found at events like Hampton Designer Showhouse or grabbing a bite at one of her favorite local spots, of which Page at 63 Main is the dinner must.

asha Bikoff’s creative launching pad is more plotline than mood board. “I’m driven by narrative,” shares the New York-based designer. “I love the drama and storytelling behind design, and tend to approach all my projects like going on a journey.” This particular journey began the first time Bikoff entered the apartment her clients had purchased in the then-newly constructed, Zaha Hadid-designed building overlooking the High Line. The late Iraqi-British architect’s signature curves and unconventional, contemporary flourishes fueled the designer’s theatrical approach. “It’s a very eccentric, out-there building unlike anything else in the city,” she says. “The immediate story that came to mind was that we were in outer space, and I began to imagine what kinds of shapes and textures might exist if we lived on Mars in the future.” The homeowners—who are “very fashionforward, bold and risk-taking people,” notes Bikoff—proved a perfect match for her flights of fancy. The wife, according to the designer, loves to make a statement “from her shoes to her interiors,” and her husband likewise “sees the joy and beauty that goes along with making a splash.” Both enthusiastically embraced Bikoff’s space odyssey vision, giving her full leeway in responding to Hadid’s otherworldly architecture. “This was the best kind of project—a blank slate in a beautiful, new building with no construction worries,” notes Bikoff. “I was able to fast-forward to the fun stuff.” Fun stuff commences in the foyer, where the designer evoked a sense of sky with metallic blue wallpaper that shimmers toward silver, “as if you’re entering Earth’s atmosphere and looking down,” she explains. Leading off the entry, the crisp gray and silver palette of the open livingdining area lends “an icy cold, man-on-the moon effect,” grounded by an enormous Disco Dots carpet (inspired by Pierre Cardin and other titans of Space Age style) from Bikoff’s rug collection. Furniture throughout is collectible design, from Francesco Binfaré’s lunar landscape-like

On the Rocks sofa to the Campana Brothers’ Vermelha chairs. Galactic tropes continue in the dining zone as well, with its charred-edge table and oxblood red velvet chairs, or “puffy marshmallow UFOs,” as the designer puts it. In the as-delivered kitchen, she ornamented Hadid’s molten cabinetry concept with a constellation-like fixture over the island, extending a sense of sculptural simplicity to the adjacent breakfast nook. There, a circular table surrounded by translucent resin chairs mirrors an enormous window. “It’s a unique architectural element, so we wanted to keep the space airy and not detract from the views,” Bikoff explains. Adding an earthly element to the milieu, a rug composed of overlapping hides provides a cozy underlay. Arguably, the designer’s out-of-this-world narrative reaches its fever pitch in the private spaces, where bold details are made soothing thanks to her precise attention to contour, texture and scale. The primary bedroom is a galaxy unto itself, with a deep-toned wallpaper “that really does look like you’re on Mars—maybe even Mars on fire,” she adds. Bronze-and-walnut nightstands topped with smoked quartz lamps and a high-gloss caramel ceiling treatment keep the planetary bedroom vibe inviting—like you’re sleeping in a swanky Martian cave, Bikoff posits. Enveloped in a glossy gumball lacquer, the guest room is the designer’s personal favorite. “It reminds me of J. Lo in her pink Juicy Couture sweatsuit,” Bikoff says. The fuzzy bed, which looks like “the cutest monster ever,” she quips, is dressed in perfectly rumpled silk sheets. And a host of playful lighting fixtures bounce off the rock candy walls and crackled mirror nightstands, underscoring the peacefully prismatic spirit that distinguishes the residence in full. Hadid passed away unexpectedly during the construction of this iconic building, making the opportunity to add her own storyline to the architect’s oeuvre even more meaningful for Bikoff. “Zaha has been such a huge inspiration to me. She created an elegance and lightness here that are contemporary without being cold,” says the designer. “I felt a real connection to that, and it made this project so exciting.”
Just beyond the threshold of this Chelsea apartment, designer Sasha Bikoff set the stage for a Space Age theme with a credenza designed by Patricia Urquiola and Federico Pepe for Glas Italia. Flanking it are an electric blue Tom Dixon chair and a red stool by Ettore Sottsass for Kartell. The artwork is by Shinichi Maruyama.

The marshland setting of a Connecticut home inspires a sweeping, fresh-as-an-ocean-breeze redesign.
Sense of Place
Interior design: Grace Rosenstein, Atelier Roan
U
ntil recently, this couple’s classic shingle-style home in Norwalk, Connecticut, felt lacking, despite everything it had going for it. There was ample space and sunlight, impeccable bones and a sensational setting on a peninsula in the Long Island Sound. What was missing, however, was inviting interiors tailored for their large, blended family. A solution presented itself when the wife fortuitously met designer Grace Rosenstein at a gathering for mothers with young children. Impressed by her know-how, the homeowners turned to Rosenstein to deliver a comfortable, considered scheme optimized for togetherness. When the designer first visited the house, she admired its clean lines and open floor plan— but it was the waterfront location that made the biggest impression. “I was blown away by the site,” she recalls. Thanks to a renovation several years prior, the home was outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding-glass doors, immersing its indoor spaces within the picturesque surroundings. “The winding canals, the blue water, the wildlife—it’s so natural and beautiful. We took those views and ran with them as our jump-off point,” says Rosenstein. Her first step was to assemble a color palette whose soft, coastal tones echo those found outdoors. On the ground floor, which had previously been appointed in cool shades of white and gray, the designer began by “warming up the walls with milkier variations on white. Subtle differences like that made a big impact,” she notes. Throughout the residence, cream tones are joined by oatmeal, sage and mist, with a little cognac and whiskey thrown in for good measure. Natural textures further serve to connect the interiors to the environs: Linen, alpaca and bouclé fabrics strike an organic tone, while touches of woven rush caning, rattan, jute and sisal nod to the reeds and cattails beyond the windows. Wood furnishings play another leading role in the design. Working from square one (the
216

owners made the bold decision to get rid of their entire existing collection), Rosenstein partnered custom pieces with vintage finds whose patina give the house a warm, aged and approachable feel. This is true of the oak spindle stools, which add a beachy flourish to the all-white kitchen, and of the primitive accent tables dressing down the living area. So, too, with more sophisticated additions, such as the pair of midcentury modern Guillerme et Chambron armchairs in the great room and the Louis Philippe sideboard in the entry. Meanwhile, in the dining room, wood detailing takes the form of faux bois wallpaper. “That room is separate and quiet, so we wanted more of a cozy library feel—somewhere you can entertain, but also do homework or take a call,” the designer explains. Rosenstein’s keen understanding of the homeowner’s lifestyle proved equally valuable when organizing the open-concept great room, which now features two separate yet cohesive seating areas. “Without walls, rooms are more expansive but less homey. I wanted the furniture arrangements to create moments of intimacy,” she says. At one end of the space, she designed a casual zone—comprised of a large sofa and two sets of upholstered chairs gathered around a television—while still carefully facilitating flow to the adjacent kitchen and outdoor living spaces. The opposite side of the great room, which encompasses a sun-drenched rotunda, has a dressier, entertaining-ready feel. There, a curved 1950s sofa recovered in a hand-printed fabric depicting birds, butterflies and botanicals anchors the area. “If the sofa had been done in a solid, you wouldn’t have this effect,” she notes. “That pattern took a lot of selling, and it made a huge impact.” But while the designer’s bolder selections commit to memory, it’s the artfully curated sense of quietude that makes this project such a success. From its tonal layers of mist, sea and sand, to the many linen sheers that dance gracefully in the breeze, framing each window like an oil painting, the finished result is, in her words, “a little pocket of paradise.”
The entry of this Norwalk, Connecticut, house commands attention, starting with the substantial antique Louis Philippe buffet serving as a catch-all for keys and everyday items. A white ceramic lamp from Vaughan and a resin mirror from Mecox Gardens offer visitors a first glimpse of the neutral palette employed throughout.

EN PLEIN AIR On the shores of Fire Island, an artist crafts textile monuments to the unbridled wild.

tand still long enough on Fire Island’s churning beaches, and you will witness a procession of nature’s mercurial wonders: the electric neons of sunsets, the bluegrays of pending storms, the fathomsdeep darkness of midnight. James Perkins has seen them all, distilling these moments of awe into three-dimensional paintings that undulate with currents of color and form. The artist’s slices of sea and sky, however, are not made with paint, but by exposing textiles to wind, water, heat and cold. “My goal is to infuse the material with this sensation of standing at the shoreline’s edge and feeling like the smallest thing on the planet,” he explains. Perkins’ work evolved from his explorations of the Light and Space and Land art movements, both of which conceptualize earthly landscapes. Fire Island, where he splits the year with his
wife and son, became a natural muse, with its sunken pine forests, windswept coastline and radiant eastern sunrises. Here, the artist honed his unique process into a careful waltz with the elements. Inspired by the island’s hues, he selects a colored base fabric, most often silk or linen sourced from New York’s garment district, and stretches the material onto wooden frames. He then plants these structures—some above the surface, others half submerged— in specific ecosystems, from beaches and sand dunes to his family’s bayside garden. Often, Perkins will move them around to multiple locations to render particular visual effects. Each placement is “based on where the sun will be, where the sea will go, and the amount of salt in the water—even the wind coming off the bay versus the open ocean,” he explains. “You can see where wind and water repeatedly make contact immortalized on the material. I know the places where you can capture that effect.”
After months (and sometimes even years), Perkins unearths his pieces and releases the weathered fabrics from their frames. He then takes them to the Long Island City studio where he works during the winter months. There, and with the help of assistants, he stretches the textiles again, this time into their final totemic shapes. The artist carefully considers proportion, as “there is a certain scale they need to be in order to hold their own,” he notes. During this final step, Perkins is mindful to leave any traces of salt and earth undisturbed. Most of all, he hopes these artworks, which are available through Tappan Collective and at Hannah Traore Gallery in Manhattan, where he has a solo show this spring, summon for the viewers memories of encounters with nature in all its mystery and magnitude. Because, for Perkins, nothing feels more powerful than those moments when “you’re taking your shoes off and grounding yourself again,” he reflects. “You are hyper aware once more that you’re on Earth.”
Nestled amid the scrub pines of Fire Island, artist James Perkins’ beach house functions as a satellite studio and creative incubator for composing nature-sculpted textile artworks.

esigner Timothy Godbold had a full plate of design work in the deep days of the pandemic, not to mention the renovation of his own midcentury home in Sag Harbor. But when the owners of this Southampton residence reached out on Instagram expressing a sincere appreciation of his work and style, he couldn’t say no. “I guessed from their address that this was a classic Hamptons beach house, and my specialty is taking those traditional homes and giving them a more modern vibe than the exterior suggests.” With abundant natural light and a thoughtful layout, the as-delivered structure offered an enticing blank slate for Godbold to build upon. Adding interest to the interior architecture was a first order of business. Sections of dark oak paneling—smooth for the den and reeded for the dining room—were added to create an atmosphere that would warm even the strictest minimalist’s heart. The living room’s fireplace wall was done in a textured Venetian plaster (which now serves as backdrop for a piece of stunning ceramic wall art by Carlos Otero). And in the primary bedroom, a space where the designer firmly believes “romantic and sexy belong,” he added floor-to-ceiling panels of vintage mirror behind the bed. Looking beyond the East Coast for aesthetic ideation, Godbold’s sourcing process became a design odyssey taking him around the world, albeit virtually, and drawing inspiration from modernist icons ranging from architect Le Corbusier to sculptor Costantino Nivola. Limited by pandemic travel restrictions, he found himself shopping online from some of his favorite vintage emporiums in Europe. “I bought
230

a lot of pieces from Béton Brut in London, and from a shop in Spain called Serge Castella Interiors. Both of those galleries were very influential in the design of this home,” Godbold shares. “I even started taking scenic rides on my Peloton through the British and Spanish countryside. That’s where my head was at when working on this project.” Godbold describes his clients, a couple with two young children who divide their time between Miami and Southampton, as “up for anything”—a quality that made them particularly amenable to unexpected color pairings. “The pastels in the living room, such as the sea-foam-green ottoman and the pink-and-green marble coffee table, or combinations like the dining room’s blue chairs alongside the red hues of the Nerone Giovanni Ceccarelli painting are not things that should work together, but they do,” notes the designer. “Not every client will allow you to do pastels in their living space, but it felt right here and they understood that,” he adds. The homeowners were similarly game for unconventional furnishings and accessories, from the living room’s Brasiliana sofas by Jorge Zalszupin— midcentury modern pieces crafted with tropical jacaranda wood—to ceramic works by Georges Pelletier, which Godbold describes as the kind of thing that would be “right at home in a 1970s commune in Nevada.” And so, in an edifying turn for both designer and clients, what started out as a quintessential Hamptons dwelling morphed into an exciting outlier. “We were able to take this traditional house and turn it into something else—and that appeals to my independent side,” says Godbold. “This project was a testing ground in a lot of ways, but everything gelled and it became one of my best—it’s a gem.”
Aqua Creations’ Totem pendants have a starring role in the entry of this Southampton home designed by Timothy Godbold to be “simple, functional and elegant.” They hang above VM Carpet’s Tunturi rug and a Roland bench by Rather Well Design.
