LETTER EDITOR’S

Happy Place

As we approach one year of sheltering at home, I have to ask... how are you? There may be too many novel words and phrases added into our lexicon: “You’re on mute,” “Zoom fatigue,” “quarantini”— our emotions raw from it all. So, how to calm them? For me, it started with carving out a spot in my home that would evoke an indoor garden room of sorts. I chose a large wall in my office and collaged florals and other fantastical images that bring me pleasure. Surrounded by my art and design books, fresh flowers from the market and my art easel, I created a little slice of happiness for myself. My laptop, with so many Zoom’s logged on it, is not far off. A “make it work” moment for our times.

Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

While we continue to remain in our homes for the foreseeable future, I hope that you, too, will find a place—be it a wall, a closet, an alcove or perhaps an entire room—that elicits joy. May this issue provide the inspiration you need to get started.

REFINED REDUX THE LIVING ROOM

The lobby of the always-glam The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach has been reimagined into a chic spot appropriately dubbed The Living Room, where guests can dine, socialize and sip cocktails. There are new furnishings, such as a striking, 10-foot-tall pagoda rising above the fireplace, brass palm tree accent tables and palm-frond wall sconces from Kemble Interiors, but undoubtedly the most eye-catching feature is de Gournay’s bespoke wallpaper pattern designed in partnership with Colony owner Sarah Wetenhall. The handpainted wallcovering showcasing Florida’s flora and fauna—think grazing flamingos and panthers donning diamond lariats—was inspired by a mural that hung in the lobby when the hotel first opened in 1947. “I discovered an old postcard image of the mural The Early Days in Palm Beach,” explains Wetenhall. “It was our mission to embody the whimsy of our beloved hotel.” For those who wish to replicate the look at home, the pattern is now part of de Gournay’s library. thecolonypalmbeach.com

FIRST LOOK Think pink (and rose gold) at DashBar in Brickell, where the new salon and spa is dripping in dreamy design details and Instagrammable moments. Bold wallpaper in soft pink-and-cream stripes and metallic geometric shapes from London-based I Love Wallpaper drape the walls, black-and-brass sputnik chandeliers dangle from ceilings, and playful spaces abound with neon signs and plant walls. Created by entrepreneur Carla Oliva after she tired of running to different spots for beauty services, guests can kick back in custom chairs conceived by Oliva, as a beauty squad performs services such as a manicure, pedicure and blowout all at once. Sixty minutes and you’re out the door—right after snapping your beautified “after” photo in front of one of their fun backdrops. thedashbar.com

JUST IN TIME FOR THE HEAT, THESE ELEVATED BEACH AND BATH CLUBS ARE READY FOR MEMBERSHIP.

BAIA BEACH CLUB

1 beach club: aura groupe. baia beach club: courtesy mondrian south beach. the bath club: courtesy the bath club.

The tropical-modern bayside retreat Baia Beach Club is the centerpiece of the newly transformed Mondrian South Beach. It was brought to life by Miami-based designers Peter Oleck and Danny Cubes of OS Design Group, who sourced natural materials from around the globe and garnered inspiration from far-flung locales such as the Greek and Balearic Islands.

Float through the open-air living space featuring a restaurant, lounge and bar outfitted with raw organic timber, handmade macramé fixtures and lush plantscapes. Membership has its privileges, among them daily access to the bayside pool/cabanas, spa and fitness center, while non-members can enjoy the sunset bar and restaurant. baiabeachclubmiami.com

1 BEACH CLUB Luxury meets nature at 1 Beach Club at the eco-chic 1 Hotel South Beach, where members are transported to a Tulum-inspired space just steps from the ocean. The club’s design agrees with the hotel’s signature aesthetic of mindfulness and wellness, with sustainable architecture and natural materials gracing every corner. Members and hotel guests can tuck away on sprawling daybeds and chairs heaped with overstuffed pillows cloaked in hues of terra cotta, blue, neutrals and stripes, while flowy canopies and thatched umbrellas offer protection from the sun. Wave, an alfresco restaurant open to the public, is an ideal spot to join the beach party while devouring light fare like a seafood tower or mezze platter. 1hotels.com/southbeach/discover/beach-club-membership

THE BATH CLUB Founded during the Jazz Age of the 1920s and touting elite members like the Firestones and Maytags, The Bath Club on Miami Beach has a breathtaking new look. Commanded by the female design duo of Antrobus + Ramirez, the revamped club includes a sprawling beachfront, pool and spa, outdoor living rooms and multiple event spaces, as well as culinary and wellness experiences. The interiors impress with colossal antique wood doors, rich draperies and vintage leather armchairs, while the 1920s aesthetic extends outdoors to the water’s edge. A day in the life of a member offers open-air dining beneath European-style trellises, lounging on rattan beach chaises as bar carts roll by and retreating to whimsical beach cabanas with tented ceilings perched by the ocean. thebathclub.com

Spring has sprung, and with it, a new Arhaus showroom right here in South Florida. Located in Town Center at Boca Raton, the 16,000-square-foot store continues the brand’s tradition of showcasing its signature artisan-crafted, heirloom-quality furnishings and home goods in a brick-and-mortar setting while also offering complimentary virtual design consultations. Calling it “our newest ‘contemporary contextual’ store,” designer Philip Michael Brown of PMB Studio cites the Boca location as the embodiment of Arhaus’ commitment to top-notch natural materials and “an intentional design approach that enhances the public spaces in which we build our new stores.”

In that vein, the outfitting of the Boca outpost features reclaimed materials throughout while maintaining an overall contemporary vibe. arhaus.com

First Chicago and Los Angeles, now Palm Beach: Interior designer Alessandra Branca has chosen the city for the third outpost of her studio and showroom, Casa Branca. The brand was launched in summer of 2020, a treasury of wallcoverings, textiles and tabletop, among other items, which guests can browse amid a series of lovely vignettes designed to evoke a European atelier while maintaining the subtropical essence of South Florida with a floral motif, orchids trailing from the chandelier and an outdoor garden. Items such as cocktail napkins hand-embroidered by women in Rwanda and hand-painted faux-bamboo wireless lamps by artist Margot Larkin are an assortment of vintage and antique finds. Newly launched is Casa Branca Collection II, called “Into the Woods,” meant to complement and marry harmoniously with pieces from Collection I. casabranca.com

American Amalgamate THREE STATESIDE SHOP OWNERS ON CURATING DESIGN. AS TOLD TO MARY JO BOWLING

Sartorial Influence Scotti Sitz

GARDE, LOS ANGELES AND SUMMERLAND, CALIFORNIA

I try not to go on social media. I don’t look at Instagram unless I have to. It allows me to focus on buying what I love for the store, and that is what sets the tone at Garde. If you walked into my shop right now, I hope you’d say: ‘Oh my God, this space is so beautiful. I want to live here.’ ” Our look has been described as minimal, organic and neutral. I don’t like the word ‘eclectic,’ but you could say I’m a believer of a ‘not decorated’ look. You should choose

basics reflecting your personality, style and history; and that’s what our clients are looking for. They also want to learn something new and be inspired.

My background is in fashion. I developed a minimalist aesthetic working for Calvin Klein and learned to appreciate textures and an architectural look at Giorgio Armani. After 20 years, I was eager to do something outside of the corporate world. I had always wanted a store, but I started working in interior design. While shopping for a client who wanted European decor, I discovered many things you couldn’t find here, and that’s how I decided to open a place of my own.

I want Garde to be approachable.

Everything we sell has a story, and we enjoy telling that tale. A story is important, because there is so much out in the world, and many times you may purchase an item without really connecting with it or knowing what you’re buying. There’s also a whimsy and lightness about our pieces; they are often tongue in cheek, heartwarming or funny. It’s kind of like the fashion concept where you put together a Gap T-shirt and a Chanel skirt. We try to replicate that idea with furniture, presenting people with a livable, yet elegant style and a point of view that welcomes and educates.

TALKING

Cris Briger (right) with her son, Charles Peed, in their West Palm Beach showroom.

Pretty Up

Cris Briger and Charles Peed CB: My family is well-traveled. We spent a lot of time in Europe, and we dragged our children to antique flea markets and every museum we could find. I never imagined that any of them would join me in a business like this. Now, my son Charles co-owns this shop, and another son, Pablo, recently joined in as well.

CP: We started this store on the idea that we have a distinct taste and style, and that if we could bring one-of-a-kind things forward, someone would like it.

Our look is ‘lived in’—a look where you would find comfort. But it’s also bold— we are not afraid of pattern and color.

CB: We are bringing pretty back. We feel like it’s OK for people to have pretty rooms; a concept that seemed to lose favor for the last 20 years but is returning. The atmosphere here is easy and Latin as well as European influenced. It’s the idea of con gusto, which means ‘with pleasure.’ It’s not uptight; we set coffee cups on furniture, and we don’t put glass tops on the furniture. We have a lot of North American, European and Latin pieces, but the way we present them is with a more American attitude. We are known for taking something that’s ordinary and tired and bringing a fresh vibe to it. We also have a lot of classically inspired pieces we’ve commissioned—it’s a fascinating mix.

CP: In Mexico, we found that a lot of artists were making things with papiermâché. We decided to put our own twist on it, commissioning botanicals, fruit and even a bust of Julius Caesar using the technique. We’ve also put our own spin on classic Mexican talavera pottery.

We’ve commissioned plates and bowls with updated patterns that appeal to everyone, even our youngest customers.

TALKING

Kate Rheinstein Brodsky in her Manhattan store, KRB.

Mix Master

Kate Rheinstein Brodsky It’s very American not to be afraid to mix things of different periods, styles and colors. The great decorators in this country never shied away from that, they just used whatever they wanted. In this sense, we are a very American shop. We show people how to put disparate items together—it’s one of the things that makes people pay attention to us. We create vignettes that give people a context for how to do it. For example, we might put a 19th-century English serpentine server with a contemporary sofa and then hang a modern painting by Mary Nelson Sinclair above it. The mix grounds the whole thing and gives it depth. It allows us to make antiques relevant again and to show that they have a place in today’s home.

I learned about retail and style from my mother, Suzanne Rheinstein. She had a store in Los Angeles for 30 years and, as a young person, I went to her shop every day after school. After my homework was done, I’d help her out, everything from arranging displays to sending out mailings. I fell in love with retail there.

When I started this store, it was a straight-up antique shop with a few home accessories. But a new space gave us more room and allowed us to try new things.

We are now carrying 50 percent antiques and vintage furniture and the rest is new and handcrafted furniture, art and accessories. The handmade is compelling in home design, and I’m lucky to be able to create a platform for smaller artists and brands, as well as a colorful place full of interesting objects you want to get closer to and discover.

KELLY WEARSTLER LENDS A WEST COAST PERSPECTIVE TO FARROW & BALL’S FIRST-EVER DESIGNER PALETTE.

Kelly Wearstler draws inspiration from the California landscape for her new paint collaboration with Farrow & Ball.

Walls painted in Faded Terracotta (pictured) are reminiscent of a sunrise, while Citrona (above) grounds one of Wearstler’s colorful material palettes.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Terracotta tiles baking in the afternoon sun.

Billows of cool Pacific fog rolling inland.

An asphalt highway steaming through the desert. These and other vivid tableaus shape designer Kelly Wearstler’s latest love letter to California: a collection of eight paints for Farrow & Ball’s premier designer collaboration.

Dreamy and diffuse, the palette is equal parts upbeat and restful. “I’m optimistic for the year ahead,” shares the L.A.-based designer. “I wanted to introduce colors that were fresh and lively, yet still have a calming relation to nature.” Homebound like the rest of us, she looked to her proverbial backyard for inspiration. “Every hue has an emotional touch point to the California landscape,” Wearstler explains, citing Palm, a chalky green homage to her hometown’s iconic allées, and Citrona, a lemon groveinspired “contemporary take on chartreuse.”

It was this same site-specific view to design that prompted the heritage U.K. paint brand to approach Wearstler for its first-ever designer palette. “Kelly shares in our process of taking inspiration from textures and colors around her,” says Charlotte Cosby, head of creative at Farrow & Ball. “This collaboration is so exciting because it brings California’s warmth and Kelly’s signature style into homes in a relatable way through our paint.”

While the Golden State served as muse, experimentation is encouraged across the continent, pond and beyond. After all, there are no color rules, if you ask Wearstler. “I always say that living without color is like living without love,” she says. “Don’t be afraid to take risks.”

Wallcovering designs, such as Form (shown), Synergy (far, right) and Taking Flight (left), illustrate Porter Teleo’s fluid, expressive approach. “We create inspiration inside our studio every day,” says Bridgett Cochran (pictured below, left, with cofounder Kelly Porter).

Has there been an upside to the challenges of the past year? KP: Change can be met with frustration and hesitation or it can be met with excitement and innovation. We put ourselves through a process of learning and looked at every section of our business.

What adjustments did you make? BC: We’re doubling-down on our textile line and releasing 15 patterns, including some of our best performing wallcovering designs, such as Kintsugi, Pétales and

Form. We also pulled out of showrooms. We require a lot of one-on-one communication with designers. Removing the middle man has been rewarding and enlightening.

Is there an advantage to being in Kansas City in that you’re more insulated from trends?

KP: Insulation is exactly right.

To create something new, you have to exclude the outer world. There is a theme of companies doing what’s trending, what sells. We never go down that path; we never play it safe. Every time we put a big piece of Japanese paper flooded with pigments on the table, the designers are so excited.

Why is supporting women integral to your brand? KP: With a majority of female employees, there is a respectful and supportive energy exchanged throughout the day. We’ve learned from covering each other on maternity leave.

If life hadn’t thrown us curveballs, we wouldn’t have adapted and diversified in ways that have benefited us.

Love that! How does human touch shape your designs? BC: We mix color by hand.

Our artists have the freedom to express an aesthetic. We explore, ‘How wild can this mark be? How opaque can this flower be?’

It matters, for the world and humanity, that our products are made in this way.

If Porter Teleo drapery is framing the windows at a dinner party, what should the guests notice? KP: Our patterns are never repeated. There will be highs and lows and pockets of pigment. It offers the sense of something larger, like experiencing fine art with positive and negative space.

Exploration and introspection are at the heart of Porter Teleo—artist Kelly Porter and interior designer Bridgett Cochran’s Kansas City, Missouribased textile and wallcoverings brand beloved for its painterly palettes and poetic motifs. With a new business model, fresh pattern releases and a second line with Schumacher on the way, this duo is poised for a big year.

Charlotte Moss wants you to relax and stop worrying— at least when it comes to curating florals in the home.

As the celebrated tastemaker expresses in her new book, Charlotte Moss: Flowers, published by Rizzoli this April, when thinking about arrangements, it’s time to throw the rulebook out the window. “Flowers need not be formal,” says Moss. “It can be as easy as walking by the local grocer or going into your garden. Really it’s about the personal and what moves you.”

Moss is, of course, known for her sophisticated interiors, but she says,

LUXESOURCE.COM

“there’s an informality to a lot of it— relaxed and comfortable, yet elegant at the same time.” And that’s exactly her approach to blooms, a passion which began as far back as she can remember.

“I was drawn to them because of my maternal grandmother,” she says. “The house always smelled divine, because flowers were just part of her life. So, of course, I followed suit.”

One part unconventional manual (there are no rules) and one part motivational musings of past icons (think Bunny Mellon and Pauline de Rothschild), Moss’s compilation emphasizes that composition should reflect personality and highlight the innate beauty of the blossom—no matter the type. For example, a few

“When it comes to arrangements, people freeze up and are completely stymied,” says interior designer Charlotte Moss.

“Really, it’s all about creating your own style. In life, it’s most important to surround ourselves with beautiful things.”

cabbage roses tucked into a small vase on a bookshelf look just as beautiful as a large centerpiece. “I go out and poke around the garden and just pick a few flowers that somebody might not even think of,” she says. “But it’s an arrangement to me.”

Above all, florals are meant to bring joy, and what sparks happiness varies from person to person. “Experiment,” Moss advises. “The greatest things come about as a result of being confident and a little fearless and saying, ‘It’s my house and I’m doing what I please.’ ”

GEORGE SAWYER LAURA PRESTON San Marcos, Texas

Artistic inclination: During my first cross-country trip in an Airstream that lasted for four years, I was looking for a small-space creative outlet. I came across modern quilters who were rooted in tradition on social media and was hooked. Name game: In John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley, “Vacilando” meant someone who is going somewhere, but doesn’t exactly know how. Similar to my journey, not all those who wander are lost. Enduring legacy: Quilting is very much alive and well in America. It’s exciting to think my quilts might still exist in 50 years as an heirloom. vacilandoquilting.co

Woodbury, Vermont

Origins: I was raised in my father’s chair-making shop, so working with wood and using hand tools was always a part of my life. Go-to materials: Maple, ash, pine, cherry and oak— the vast majority comes from within 25 miles of our shop.

Made to last: What’s important to me is how properly using these manual methods can drastically improve the durability, flexibility, comfort and life of a chair. Life lesson: My father taught me where precision matters. There are a lot of tiny details in our chairs and it’s easy to get lost in trying to make everything perfect—but he trained me to trust my eye and recognize that the subtle differences and movement in our chairs make them feel alive. sawyermade.com

CHARLOTTE TERRELL Nashville, Tennessee

Southern charm: I was drawn to and influenced by the architecture, gardens and work of highly skilled artisans in my hometown of Columbus, Mississippi, where a wealth of preCivil War homes with murals and hand-painted finishes still exist. Process: Each bespoke mural wallcovering is custom made for a project and my client. All elements of the room are considered—the palette, windows, doors, furnishings and even the desired length of the “repeat” in the landscape scene. American craftsmanship: To me, it is an expression of our time and the individual artist who contributes to the enhancement, beauty and harmony of our surroundings in limitless variations. charlotteterrell.com

At Lloyd Flanders, the tagline “Woven for Life” is more than an idea. The 100-plus-year-old creator of premier outdoor furnishings has built a legacy on giving homeowners and design pros the open-air pieces they seek, which today includes mixing and matching unique fabrics and finishes.

But it has also ensured that every product embodies the driving principles of quality and sustainability. “Everything we make is crafted to be heirloom quality, made to be handed down through generations,” says Jess Flanders, who runs the company alongside Dudley Flanders and Warren Juliano. “We also use natural materials, like cellulose fiber, and can repaint to update

“Today, everyone wants a custom look. Homeowners aren’t interested in what’s available at big-box stores.”

finishes, providing more years of use. Plus, all of our teak products are certified by the FSC and made from sustainable sources.” They are indeed woven for life—for the life of a design, the life of the user, and the life of the planet.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: LLOYD LOOM One of Lloyd Flanders’ standout offerings, the proprietary Lloyd Loom wicker is a natural fiber wicker fabric with long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility. The continuous weave avoids burrs and cracking, and increases visual appeal by eliminating visible material ends. All that, and Lloyd Loom products are available in 20 custom finishes.

CARE + KEEPING •W here it starts: “The proper upkeep of outdoor spaces begins with the selection of high-quality products,” Jess says. “Strength of craftsmanship makes all the difference. We build to withstand full exposure to sun, rain and even snow.”

Top: The Catalina sofa and chairs in the Hickory finish perfectly complement teak tables in this Costa Mesa, California, space by Molly Wood Garden Design. Left: In this Charlotte, North Carolina, look by Lisa Mende Design, the Hamptons collection sofa and lounge chairs complement Weekend Retreat swivel gliders in the Pewter finish and teak accessory tables. Right: One might argue that the Terracotta finish and Essence lounge chair were made for each other.

•H ow to clean: Lloyd Flanders recommends the following routine to its clients: Vacuum or use a soft brush on woven material and cushions to remove organic particles and loosen surface soil, then rinse with a mild detergent and clean water.

It’s easy to understand why outdoor living spaces have become an essential part of the home.

They not only extend usable square footage, but also invite one to create an open-air retreat.

What isn’t so easy is the actual process of building these environments—and that’s mostly due to the intense demand on furnishings. This is where Universal Furniture comes in. “With more than 100 products to choose from in a variety of different materials and special-order cushion options from brands like Sunbrella, we provide the consumer with countless ways to make their space highly practical while meeting design goals,” says Neil MacKenzie, the company’s director

“Homeowners want flexible gathering spaces, especially now.

Outdoor furniture for dining and conversation areas is taking priority.”

On New York’s Lake Canandaigua, Lyndsay Caleo Karol, cofounder and creative director of The Brooklyn Home Company, designed a practical pool house to accommodate her family’s easy summer lifestyle.

THE BROOKLYN HOME COMPANY

It’s all in the family for Lyndsay Caleo Karol, who began the successful design and development firm The Brooklyn Home Company—alongside brother Bill Caleo and artist husband Fitzhugh Karol—more than 14 years ago when they were tasked with fixing a dilapidated property with a few hundred dollars and some Home Depot tools. Fast forward to today, and many homes later, Caleo Karol knew her approach to updating her family’s idyllic retreat on New York’s Lake Canandaigua to include a new pool house would be much the same as in the beginning: honor natural materials, incorporate artisan details and look to the light. thebrooklynhomecompany.com This project was personal, right? Yes! I was lucky enough to grow up going to the Finger Lakes—one of the most beautiful areas of the country, in my opinion—but over the years, as our family grew, so did our need for space.

When we tore out an old tennis court to build a pool, I knew that an accompanying structure was needed to house towels, help with outside eating and act as a crash pad for kids.

Does the kitchen get a lot of action? In the warmer months, we gather for most meals here and eat outside at the massive table under the pergola. The kitchen is where a lot of prep work and cooking happens. It has a sink, refrigerator, freezer and a lot of storage zones for snacks.

I wanted the design to feel relaxed, simple and timeless with the white, bright paneling that continues throughout the pool house and natural bluestone flooring you see outside as well. It’s also important for us to add a handmade element and artist Natalie Page’s ceramic lighting hangs beautifully under the eaves.

Tell us about the pool house. When we can all be together, there can be 20 of us and everyone seems to end up in the pool, so I knew this building would be getting a lot of use! From the beginning, we understood the footprint here was pretty tight to work with and, just like in the city, we always go up. As soon as the ceiling was raised, the entire area became so much more inviting and a place you really want to hang out. Optimizing natural light with large windows and doors was also paramount.

Barbecue on the mind? Look no further than the 48-inch DCS Series 9 Grill—an advanced cooking experience over the flame. With freestanding or built-in styles, this appliance features an infrared rotisserie, charcoal smoker tray and ample storage.

A secondary cooking surface allows for a wide repertoire of options—slow cooking, roasting, sauces—and keeps food warm after searing. Turn up the heat with the 25,000 BTU burners, which allow for precise heat control from 300 to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit. dcsappliances.com

Cocktails by the pool just got a whole lot easier thanks to Dometic’s introduction of the MoBar, the ultimate mobile beverage center. Offered in three sizes, the 550 model at left has dual-zone refrigeration that can house 40 bottles of wine or 155 cans with a removable retention ice bucket on top for another 22 bottles. A storage drawer and cabinet as well as side shelving allow for plenty of room for mixers, snacks and glasses. Cheers to that! dometic.com

Fancy Free OPEN-AIR DREAMSCAPES ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

Over the past year, exterior living spaces have proved as essential as interior ones, offering gathering grounds, peaceful refuge and a semblance of escape. Celebrating this spirit, Luxe shares tales of garden delights across the country, beginning with landscape designer Margie Grace’s own Montecito, California Shangri-La. Here, under the canopy of an 80-year-old oak tree, Grace crafted a “room” for coffee and contemplation by placing an antique faux bois dining set under the majestic sweep of its branches. “At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the light comes up from under those leaves and acts like a spotlight on the table,” she says. “I think to myself, ‘It’s like the wood fairies live here.’ ”

WR I T T E N AN D PR ODU CE D BY GR ACE BEULEY HUNT At her Montecito, California property, landscape designer Margie Grace looked to Japanese principles in arranging public living spaces close to the house and quieter moments—like this perch for morning coffee—on the garden’s outermost “concentric circles.” Adds Grace, “It becomes a different kind of party the further you roam.” gracedesignassociates.com

MOVEABLE FEAST CHRISTOPHER SPITZMILLER WAXES POETIC ON A PRIZED OUTDOOR STAPLE. Fifteen years ago, when I purchased my home, there was no garden to speak of. But after a decade of improvements, I find that so much of our time is spent outside. One of my workhorses is a cider pressing table that first came into my life—like many things with style and practicality—through my mother. It quickly took on a new life as a portable garden table.

We’re serial hosts at Clove Brook Farm, and in fair weather, we entertain outside whenever possible. For special occasions, we’ll move the table to whichever garden room is in its prime.

We’ve used it for a Fourth of July lunch in the front yard beneath the shade of a maple tree, in

LUXESOURCE.COM

the Dovecote Garden programmed as a bar for a summer cocktail party and for an evening dinner in our Sunken Garden when the Casa Blanca lilies are blooming. For that occasion, we styled the table to conjure a garden fantasy right out of John Singer Sargent’s painting, Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose.

The roving cider press table appears in a number of different incarnations throughout my new book, A Year At Clove Brook Farm, which I hope will inspire people to get outside and seize the abundance offered by each season.

There are no rules to outdoor living: I use my best dishes, glassware and silver. (No paper

plates or napkins here!) If you don’t have a vintage table, use what option you do have dressed in an interesting cloth. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to bring precious items outside. Using beautiful things in the garden makes an already enchanting setting all the more magical. christopherspitzmiller.com

TAKING ROOT “It’s like that saying about the shoemaker who can’t make his own shoes,” says Keith Williams of creating his West Palm Beach garden. For the landscape designer, such musings might surprise, but the more paint chips in your fan deck, the harder it is to pick a color. “I sketched so many versions that finally I said, ‘Let’s just order X amount of this and this,’ and when it arrived, I pieced it all together,” he demurs.

What came of this approach is a series of small, graceful compositions set against an expanse of white pea gravel. In its organic simplicity, it nods to gardens of southern France, while stars like glossy fiddle-leaf fig and monstera— meticulously arranged to balance light, scale and texture—keep the feel firmly Floridian.

While in its nascency, the garden hints at lushness to come. Plumes of rosemary and sage dance in the gravel, creating a sensory experience should you brush against them, espalier jasmine pops against the home’s stucco façade and newly planted palms reach skyward.

Meanwhile, native pollinators—porterweed, Buddleia, Simpson’s stopper—lure butterflies, a favorite of the daughter Williams and his wife, Nicole, adopted last spring. As the couple awaited her birth, they began to notice butterflies everywhere, and when Colette came home, butterflies followed. “I’m a huge fan of green-on-green and normally, I don’t like color,” says Williams. “But I knew these flowers would be rewarding. Every day, she makes these crazy noises because there are butterflies all around us and she loves them.” nieverawilliams.com

LOS ANGELES

PARTY in the FRONT Enchanting and unexpected with an air of European chic, entry courtyards are having a moment. Here, designer Robin Rains, architect Douglas Enoch and landscape architect Anne Daigh discuss designing this Nashville jewel.

Why a courtyard? DE: It’s an urban setting, so we wanted to make use of the lot. I grew up in the south, where there are many “surprise courtyards”—I love that idea of a surprise behind a gate. AD: Privacy was also very important; the clients wanted to sit outside in the mornings and have their coffee in seclusion.

RR: Doug built this beautiful brick wall with an arched doorway and we commissioned a custom copper lantern to hang high above.

It really beckons you in.

Tell us about the design. AD: We planted two crepe myrtles, which create a pergola and make you feel like you’re in an outdoor room. Then we added structured landscape with dwarf

boxwood and billowing hydrangeas. The simplicity of the space—the way it wraps around you—is what makes it so charming. DE: Each of the four façades is symmetrical, so wherever you sit is a relaxing experience. RR: We carried the French limestone paving inside for seamless transition and chose Janus et Cie’s Amalfi iron canopy chairs, floating them in the courtyard as “sculpture furniture.”

What makes the room? DE: The pear espaliers, because they soften and echo the architectural symmetry. AD: Those pear trees create another level of rustic provenance. Plus, they actually produce beautiful green pears! RR: To me, the espaliers are another sculpture. Imagine going out into your courtyard to fetch breakfast?

It feels like you’re in France. robinrains.com; enocharchitects.com; daighrick.com

OUTDOOR LIVING The role of home is always evolving. It changes as one’s needs change, accommodating new family members and emptier nests; unique hobbies and work-from-home setups alike. But one concept has become more relevant across the board, year after year: Outdoor living is a staple of the modern-day abode. No residence is complete without space to spread out, play in the open air, dine alfresco and clink drinks poolside. Regardless of climate, innovative solutions are making this vision of time spent in the midst of nature possible, and homeowners throughout the country are embracing it. On the following pages, the experts of all things outdoor weigh in on the trends and techniques dominating the conversation.

POSH, BUT PRACTICAL

BANDALUX 305.883.0008 | bandalux.com |

The particular challenge of outdoor design is the durability it demands. When seeking out a redesign, homeowners hope to achieve a certain aesthetic, but, as the Bandalux team always advises, functionality must be given the proper attention, too. “Mechanisms must be able to withstand the weather, operate smoothly and look new over time,” Garcia says. “A key factor here is maintenance and designing to support it from the beginning.

Any outdoor element must be crafted with a long-lasting vision.” He goes on to extend an example: the pergola. Users should be able to clean and care for it without having to uninstall the entire structure. Bandalux’s technical engineers work hard to ensure this.

At a time when open-air living and entertaining is increasingly prevalent, Bandalux is offering the robust variety of solar control solutions homeowners need. For more than 35 years, the brand has brought foremost knowledge and experience to the market via its products, which are designed in Europe and manufactured in the United States.

“We know what works, how things should be done and what our customer expects, and we are always evolving with these things in mind,” USA general manager Eduardo Garcia says. “Innovation is in our DNA, and our customer-centric approach ensures excellent service through and through.” The results are evident in its first-class awnings, pergola systems and alfresco shades, as well as the creative way they’ve been utilized in countless projects. “We help our clients choose the best products for them based on comfort, design, finesse and maintenance.” And thanks to its full ownership of every step of the process, Bandalux can combine it all into any system one can imagine.

ECO-FRIENDLY COMPONENTS Bandalux has a few ways of ensuring sustainable products and processes.

• It offers a range of ecological fabrics.

• PVC is not used to construct any of its pieces.

•W hen paint is used, the brand consciously chooses VOC-free formulas.

•R ecycled plastic from bottles is incorporated into its products.

“Our homes have become more important than ever, so we’re considering our outdoor spaces like never before.”

With everything going on in the world, now is the time for an outdoor space that is commensurate with your indoor space and one that is perfect for entertaining.

“Grills, refrigeration and outdoor ovens all play their part in creating the perfect outdoor entertaining space.”

That’s according to Mike Robertson, Alexa Warner and Tim Brohawn, owners of Fuse Specialty Appliances. As specialists in indoor and outdoor appliances, they suggest pizza ovens, built-in grills and refrigeration for first-rate cooking and hosting experiences. “Having the right appliances in an outdoor kitchen makes cooking outdoors much more enjoyable. Refrigeration in the right place adds a convenience that you don’t realize until you have it,” Robertson says. “A professional grill that can achieve searing temperatures or can be used to smoke a favorite meat or cheese is a staple,” he adds. For those concerned with longevity, Warner notes that most outdoor appliance products are made of high-caliber stainless steel. “As long as the grill is kept clean, it will last a long time.

PUTTING IN THE WORK Judith Norman Outdoor Living carefully evaluates every potential factory partnership to ensure that each piece’s construction and reaction to climate is suitable for its clients and their homes. That said, maintenance is a must.

“We tell clients, if you were to leave a car directly exposed near the beach or parked under a tree for an extensive period, you would expect the paint to be impacted and detailing to be needed. Outdoor furniture is no different,” the team says. So, what’s their recommendation? Wipe down frames and cushions with a damp towel once a week to remove any dirt or dust. “Mildew grows on dirt, not on furniture.”

POINTERS FROM THE PRO FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT

KWD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 561.243.1873 | kwdesignteam.com |

kwdesign_team

What distinguishes KWD Landscape Architecture is that they do not have one signature style—rather, their multifaceted team works with each client to design one-of-a-kind outdoor living spaces. Rising to the challenge of innovation time and time again, the team at KWD attributes their success to the mentorship of the firm’s founder, Krent Wieland, along with an equally distinctive and informed clientele. “We are fortunate to have the clientele that we do, because we are often able to be wildly creative,” says Wieland’s daughter, Amy Wieland-Carlson. “We create spaces that make each client feel unique. They don’t want what their neighbor has.” Established in 1984, KWD is a South Florida staple that produces award-winning work year after year. The past year has placed an emphasis on outdoor living like never before, invigorating people to spend more time outside; in turn, raising the standard for exceptional landscape architecture. “Our designs provide owners with a sense of serenity within their own residence,” she says.

•E nlist the right people for the job: Just as an architect is vital to a well-designed home, a landscape architect is equally important to a well-designed pool, spa, water feature, garden and resort amenities.

•U nderstand the long-term maintenance: A design that requires intense maintenance can be discouraging for homeowners.

An outdoor living space needs to be wellmaintained on a continual basis in order for it to be relaxing and peaceful.

• I nsist on high-quality conceptual drawings: KWD creates conceptual designs and then expands on them by creating the drawings that will be used for construction, permitting, bidding and submission. The process is designed to safeguard clients so they obtain the best outcome.

Bottom: Centered on the master suite, yet distanced by a garden space, this serene pool creates a visual separation, while allowing accessibility from the most private area of the home.

This project was a design collaboration between principal Krent Wieland and senior project manager Aaron Mastin.

The Glass House At once grand and simplistic, a Village of Golf residence champions nature inside and out.

inged by Banyan trees and birdsong, the private enclave of Village of Golf unspools like a bolt of green velvet.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in this South Florida town stands a house of a peaceful nature. With its stucco façade and allée of welcoming palms, it plays well with its neighbors. But a closer look reveals curiosities: a modern-inflected Cape Dutch silhouette, a monolithic white roof and soaring steel-framed windows affording views straight through its heart to the backyard beyond. “UPS calls it the glass house,” says designer Christie Cade. “People think it’s an atrium.”

Clarity—of vision and of physical sight lines—is exactly what Cade intended when she teamed up with architect Rustem Kupi on designs for the new-build residence. The owners, Floridians via Northern California, wanted a cohesive indooroutdoor dialogue, the informality of single-story living and a warm, modern ethos. A modified H-shape Cape Dutch layout would strike that perfect balance of East and West Coast tradition, comfort and contemporary appeal.

To bring in the outside in a heroic way, Cade made the decision early on to fabricate steelframed impact windows, a local rarity. In addition to making a bold statement, “you can create larger expanses, because steel is stronger than standard aluminum,” she explains. “It allows so much light in.” In total, the great room features six 11-foot-tall openings framing verdant views. She also employed the same shellstone flooring indoors and outdoors to establish a focal alfresco connection.

Consistency in materials is a signature move of the designer, and for this home, she didn’t stop at flooring. The kitchen’s matte-finish cerused-oak cabinetry, unlacquered brass fittings and Belgian bluestone counters extend to the bathrooms. The same sisal rugs occupy every room. And while common room windows are left bare to best enjoy the views, the bedroom and bathroom windows wear the same sheer linen fabric.

Cade also relied on scale and symmetry for sparkle—especially in the great room. There, general contractor Alexander L. King aligned every last air-conditioning duct and light fixture between

the ceiling beams, creating a visceral sense of peace and order. “If you stand in that room looking south, everything centers: the windows, the cabinetry, everything,” he says. “It’s a beautiful, crisp, clean look.” A pair of deep kitchen islands, a gracious library table that doubles for dining and the living area’s enormous Scott Kerr painting turn a wouldbe cavern into a cozy cathedral.

To drive home her “California Casual” interiors concept, Cade riffed off the cool steel windows with a rich cocktail of organic textures. “I’m all for texture wherever you can get it,” she says. “If you’re designing contemporary and you’re not using color or print, texture is what makes it happen.” Rattan and raffia accents, such as the kitchen stools and living area’s easy chairs, add hits of texture that feel right at home amidst the tropical environs, while touches of plaster and patina-prone metals hint at West Coast cool. Notably, the designer also limited built-ins throughout, favoring Japanese Tansu chests instead. Amid the predominately off-white, camel-and-black palette, surprises abound: A peak inside the kitchen pantry reveals a jolt of red lacquer, an oversize artwork of an amaryllis holds court between twin beds in the guest bedroom and, in the serene blue-toned main bedroom, a set of plastered rattan nightstands sport drawer pulls of little brass feet. “I always say I could be a minimalist, but there are too many great things in the world,” Cade muses.

Finish line in sight, the designer called upon landscape architect Chris Vance to lend his own similarly tailored aesthetic to the exteriors.

Taking cues from Kupi’s structure, Vance imagined a central axis of palm trees joined by oversize planters teaming with elephant ears, bromeliads and Japanese blueberry trees. “It’s not about putting on a big show; it’s about feeling comfortable,” he says. “The trick to doing that is: Elements need to be bold and powerful, to become architectural features.” In another transformative stroke, he flipped the proposed pool siting on the horizontal. “I wanted to treat it like an oldschool estate and make the pool a destination,” he explains. The grounds echo the alluring ease of the home’s interior, projecting Cade’s fondness for cohesion inside and out. “Consistency soothes the eye,” she shares. “It suits the pattern of nature and keeps things understated.”

Leading off the patio of a Village of Golf residence by designer Christie Cade, a path lined with Sylvester palms and terracotta planters containing elephant ears draws the eye to the shellstone pool and the pool house, home to a Four Hands table and Sutherland chairs. Landscape architect Chris Vance designed the grounds, which were installed by Steve Kross.

hen Carolina and Pedro Freyre first laid eyes on the 1950 Coral Gables home they were considering buying, it wasn’t much to look at: The cinder blockand-stucco structure suffered from low ceilings, a choppy blend of elevations that meant stepping up or down to get from one room to another and a very unfortunate infestation of iguanas. Still, “we fell in love with it,” Carolina says, adding the house’s unique position on a bluff in the bend of a canal—which gives the property a long, southwesterly view over the water—compelled them to buy it.

Luckily, Carolina, an interior designer, had a precise vision for the residence: “Right from the start, it was screaming ‘beach bungalow,’ ” she says.

With help from architect Arturo Fanjul and general contractors Andres Freyre and Frank Batista, she conceived a property that feels like a modern Bahamian-meets-Ibizan cottage and reflects her family’s travels and love of entertaining.

To achieve such an ideal outcome, the structure first had to be taken down to its cinder block shell with only two interior walls standing.

“We didn’t just scrape it and build on the site, because it would have been too challenging to build something newer,” explains Andres, Pedro’s cousin. “It has a coral stone foundation, and that was a big benefit to keeping the shell of the house.” Fanjul overhauled the layout, creating a central great room that comprises the living area, kitchen and dining area and is lined with sliding glass doors to the back patio and pool. “We knew we needed to create volume and capture the vistas,” he says. By removing the ceiling cross beams and boosting interior height, the team achieved an airy feel and added one of the home’s most distinguishing features: the truss system’s tension rods. Structural in essence, they are also a key aesthetic boon thanks to their painted matte black color, which injects an industrial feel. “They give the house a little edge that differentiates it from a typical beach home,” Carolina says of the rods, installed in the kitchen and the main bedroom. “They make it feel a little more ‘us.’ ”

A former carpenter, Batista credits the craftsmanship to Carolina’s eye for detail. “Every nook and cranny took discussion,” he says. To build a home of this caliber, he adds, “you start from the millimeter, and you move your way up to inches and feet.” Materials played a starring role; the thoughtful palette on the exterior includes stucco in a beachy clapboard finish and the original barrel-tile roof, painted white.

The bright, clean aesthetic continues inside, where the floors are covered in a concrete-like micro-topping and sealed with marine-grade white paint. Combined with the walls, all painted the same shade of white, the envelope is an ideal backdrop for layers of furnishings, rugs and art that give the spaces a storied, collected feel. In the family room, there’s a framed rubbing of a steam-hole cover an artist created outside of Dartmouth College’s business school, where Pedro attended. The same area holds a handsome chest the couple bought from an antique store when they lived in Atlanta and an Indian mirror with gorgeous inlay, a hand-medown from Carolina’s mother. Across the room, double doors that lead to the main bedroom showcase knobs Carolina bought at London’s famed street market on Portobello Road; nearby, a framed black-and-white photo of men fishing— purchased in Positano, Italy—reminds the couple of Pedro’s childhood summers, spent in a small fishing community in Spain. “It’s important to me that every detail tells a story,” Carolina says.

That narrative extends to the house’s landscaping and hardscapes. Out back, a threetiered terrace leads to the water and a small boathouse. Landscape designer Jason Smith, who helped engineer the terraces, left three original junipers—“which have so much character,” he says—and introduced palm trees and shrubbery such as clusia nana. In the front, he adds, “we went for exotic, highly sought-after trees, like cabada palms and satakentia.”

The whole residence exudes intentionality and warmth. “Everyone feels at home here,” Carolina says. “I can seat 120 people for dinner across the property, or I can simply enjoy being here with my family. And when the sun sets over the water, it’s just as good as we first imagined.”

ordan Betten isn’t afraid to follow his instincts— even if they lead to ripping apart his own paintings. In the pursuit of something beautiful, the Miami artist finds everything can be reimagined anew. “I’m never content,” he confesses. “I’m always trying new things. And I always want the next piece to be better than the one before.”

To wit, Betten’s gut has never led him astray. In quick succession, he has amassed an expansive body of work that includes abstract paintings, found-object sculpture and his signature collages, made from the slashed pieces of paintings. The artist’s work has found an eager home, with representation at GGA Gallery and commissions from Wynwood Walls and Faena Art. This experimentation stems from Betten’s past life as an artisanal designer

in New York, where his eclectic combination of materials such as snakeskin, crystals and feathers attracted the likes of fashion editors and rock stars. But the familiar itch to reinvent became too strong once he moved to Miami in 2016, when he decided to fully commit to painting. Selftaught, the artist intuitively translated the materiality of his previous craft into his new practice. “A flat surface isn’t so interesting to me,” he explains. “When I was working with leathers, I always mixed different textures together. So I wanted to bring that into my painting style.”

This tactility plays out in Betten’s abstract paintings, for which he uses brushes, palette knives and his hands to make energetic gestures. He prefers oils, as they “have so much texture and depth,” he says. “Different viscosities allow me to really move paint around.” The artist’s sculptures capture the same sense of motion, incorporating unusual materials

pulled from the hardware store or left over from his painting process, such as wire, wooden stirrers and jar lids coated in dried paint drips.

Blurring both mediums, Betten’s collages came about as a way to repurpose test paintings he had produced. Stiffened with old paint, the canvas took on a sculptural quality that could be manipulated like leather, a discovery that led to a new creative process.

He first paints the main canvas to establish the movement and color of the work, then weaves together the ripped canvas strips twisted into different shapes, from sharp, tight rolls to gentle ribbons falling into peaks and valleys. The artist paints over these complex layers, creating compositions that leap off the surface.

This freestyle nature means Betten can never be certain of the final result. And that’s just fine with him. “I like the element of surprise,” the artist says. “When those accidents happen, it’s magical.”

From his Wynwood studio, artist Jordan Betten (bottom) produces multimedia works fueled by happenstance. His 3D collages are created by twisting and rolling a ripped oil painting, using the canvas as a medium.

URBAN JUNGLE On a lush site in Delray Beach, a midcentury structure is an eye-catching escape.

W R I T T E N B Y M I K K I B R A M M E R | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY K E N H AY D E N

Architecture: Angel Sanchez, Sanchez + Coleman Studio Interior design: Christopher Coleman, Sanchez + Coleman Studio

A

ll great relationships are built on trust. And sometimes that means trusting your partner’s vision in the potential of a fixer-upper. Residential designer Angel Sanchez experienced this—twice— with interior designer Christopher Coleman, his partner in business and life. The first time, Coleman saw promise in a Hudson Valley abode that later became their beloved weekend cabin while the couple was living in New York City.

So when they recently came across a neglected midcentury house in Delray Beach that caught Coleman’s attention, Sanchez knew to trust the feeling. “Chris has an amazing eye,” says Sanchez, a trained architect from Venezuela and a fashion designer. “And I always wanted to live in something that was a little midcentury.”

Now South Beach residents, Coleman and Sanchez decided to transform the property into a weekend getaway. A renovation was required—with Wayne Ferrell of Architect 1 serving as architect of record—and their vision was clear: Respect the structure’s bones while opening up and modernizing the residence to bring it into the 21st century.

By knocking down the walls separating the living and dining rooms and the kitchen, Coleman and Sanchez created a vast, multiuse space with different seating areas for lounging and entertaining. “We doubled the size of the kitchen, and now you could roller skate around the dining room—there’s so much space in there,” Coleman says. A pair of wicker armchairs in the living area joins a gray sofa by the fireplace, a welcoming spot for conversation, while another sofa faces a television. In a sunlit corner, a cocoon-like green armchair beckons as a reading nook.

Generous-size windows inhabit most rooms, and the serene hues of the lush ferns and palm trees outside informed the interior palette. “The color decision was easy for us,” Sanchez says. “We both agreed immediately we wanted to bring the green inside.” To present a tropical modern feel without verging on tacky, they tempered olive green and occasional pops of yellow with black

and white. The black tiled ornamental fireplace makes a sleek statement in the living area, while black sink faucets and metal frames on shower panels emphasize the bathrooms’ wood vanities. Each bedroom has a green feature wall, emphasizing a connection among them. And the home’s engineered ash floors and full-height frameless Italian doors imbue casual elegance, allowing more colorful moments—like the mosaic backsplash in the kitchen and the jungle-esque wallpaper in the powder room—to sing.

The design ethos centered on carefree living, including simplicity in furnishings. A light-handed use of rattan in pieces such as headboards, armchairs and side tables imparts a relaxing vibe while adding a material through line. Several items, like the living area’s curvaceous wood coffee table, are inventory from years ago, when Coleman owned a store in Hudson, New York.

The duo re-covered the existing dining chairs in a green fabric and installed a rope flourish on the frames. “It added a nice detail to the chairs, mixed in with the rattan,” the interior designer says. At the head of the dining table sits a thronelike rattan chair the interior designer says has become the go-to social media perch for guests.

“Everybody goes there and takes a picture,” Coleman says.

Adding more personality to the house are the couple’s cherished artworks collected over the years, a passion hobby throughout their relationship. “Art is always part of our life together,” Sanchez says.

A marquis next to the living area fireplace evokes memories of Art Basel nearly a decade ago. Nearby, a ribbon-like wood wall piece is another special work that harmonizes with the interior’s natureinformed atmosphere.

Coleman’s vision for the residence as a sanctuary-like escape proved especially beneficial during the pandemic, as the couple spent much of their time enjoying the restful property inside and outside. “It’s a privilege to have all this nature all around the house,” Sanchez says, adding the grounds remind him of his native Venezuela. “It’s like we live in a little jungle. We have the birds and no people looking around—it’s really isolated and magical. This house is so special for us.”
