PALM BEACH + BROWARD

@paladinoruddinteriordesign 3307 Northlake Blvd. Palm Beach Gardens

For this oceanfront Palm Beach home, the goal was to design minimalist and bright spaces that felt warm and inviting. The Paladino Rudd team paid homage to classicism with the interior architecture and established a sense of depth with the layering of materials, such as buttery gray Venetian plaster, book-matched stones and woodclad walls. They employed color thoughtfully and chose materials, like velvets and raw silk, to bring texture and dimension to their schemes. Paladino’s Perennials Sonder loop-and-cut rug was the perfect finishing touch. Unique furniture, lighting and art were carefully curated for each room to ensure they both felt and looked fabulous and were a reflection of the client. Paladino Rudd Interior Design is a small boutique firm that specializes in customized interior architecture and furnishings, all the way down to the last accessory. Together with their clients, the team designs distinctive interiors that express the vision. They also create accurate budgets, detailed meeting minutes, monthly status reports on items ordered and an accounting report to always make sure everyone is on the same page. “We love what we do, and our enthusiasm is contagious!” Allison Paladino, Principal 561.814.2838 I apinteriors.com

WHEN ONE CONTEMPLATES GREAT DESIGN, THEMES EMERGE. IT MIGHT BE EXPECTED THAT THESE WOULD BE AESTHETIC PRINCIPLES, AN EXPERT’S EXPERIENCE OR EDUCATION, OR THE HOMEOWNER’S LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT.

CERTAINLY, THOSE FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN ANY PROJECT. BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT, SO OFTEN, THE MARKER OF IMPACTFUL DESIGN IS AN ALL-IMPORTANT, BEHIND-THE-SCENES INGREDIENT: COLLABORATION.

This is rarely exemplified so well as in the relationship between interior designer and paint contractor. After the style whiz selects the perfect palette to complement architecture, building materials, furnishings and accessories, those talented with a brush bring it to fruition with deft hands and a deeply rooted understanding of application techniques, product composition, layering and more. When interior designer and paint contractor meet in the middle, a true marriage of art and science is at work. In this special section presented in partnership with Benjamin Moore, 10 such dynamic duos showcase the perspectives, craftsmanship and love for hue and tone that they pour into every project. Introducing, the Faces of Design.

When clients expect close to perfection, smoothing the behind-the-scenes processes is key. Enter, designer Iantha Carley and paint expert James Lackford. The husbandand-wife team has built a gorgeous portfolio, with Iantha contributing the eye for color and James keeping upto-date on products and techniques. And while Iantha’s attention to detail is most immediately noticed in a completed space, James plays that role too. “Putting the paint on is the easy part. The prep takes the most time. One of my best guys goes out at night with a bare bulb and circles everything he finds wrong on the surface.” ianthainteriors.com, properpaintandpaper.com

Enrique: Paint can give everything a rhythmic look by connecting many aspects of the project, creating intimacy or openness across spaces. Paint a picture of the design journey and the role you play within it. Luis: We try to see things from the perspective of the design team, making their vision beautiful with color and craftsmanship. rowlandbroughton.com, forrestpaintingcolorado.com

SILVER SPRING, MD IANTHA CARLEY + JAMES LACKFORD

“People often try to identify what creates that ce rtain sense of elegance and luxury in their favorite spaces. It’s the paint and finishes.”

Sarah: We believe that walls are our canvas and backdrop to life and art—the quality of the painting is important. So, we like to work with level-five finishes a lot. Early on in our firm, Enrique executed that with fantastic attention to detail and dedication to craft. We have worked together for the 20 years since! Describe the impact of paint on interiors.

Asked to share the story of her collaboration with paint craftsman Rye Nazarian, designer Emilie Munroe says, “There is no lack of stories to share over a glass of wine!” Indeed, from executing an entire project during a client’s two-week vacation to perfecting the boldest of hues (an Emilie signature), the duo is always up to a challenge. Rye speaks to one he often undertakes: “There is this ‘freshly fallen snow look’ people are often seeking. We do it by using 18-inch rollers and a sprayer loaded with Benjamin Moore Regal in a dead flat finish on the ceiling.” studiomunroe.com, surfacepaintdesign.com

NEW YORK CITY, NY

In historic, iconic spaces, selecting paint can be daunting. Every hue should be perfectly attuned to the design, worthy of the home’s precedence, elegant yet ahead of the trends. Such is the challenge that often faces Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson. Beloved for their balance of timelessness and today, the designers embrace the art of “repolishing” interiors in buildings like One57 and Herzog & de Meuron’s 56 Leonard. And behind the scenes, one partner has played a key role. Jonathan Kutzin met the design duo when they collaborated at a Kips Bay Decorators Show House in 2008. The rest is a history of perfect pairing. “I work almost exclusively with the design community to deliver top quality in high-end environments,” Jonathan shares. “I have developed many unique specialty finishes, including one that incorporates eyeshadow into the medium and others with mica flakes and iron oxides.” With this innovative mindset, he creates capsule collections of samples for each of Jamie and Caleb’s illustrious projects. As for the team’s favorite formula, Jamie says, “Benjamin Moore AURA®’s quality makes it our go-to pick.” drakeanderson.com, americapainting.nyc “Paint can be the star or supporting role. I like when we use it to surprise or ‘wink’ at you—a bright orange peeking at you from the back of a bookcase.”

Upon being asked to describe the impact paint has on an interior, Lisa Moon says, “Use of light, use of color and good space planning are the essence of great design. If any of these is not executed well, the environment falls flat or, worse, feels ‘off.’” It’s this level of insight that has made Lisa, her husband Peter and their team at Paper Moon Painting invaluable resources for Sara Malek Barney, the founder and principal at BANDD/DESIGN. She chimes in, “We believe that everyone deserves to live, work and experience life in an aesthetically pleasing space, and having true craftspeople applying paint of the quality Benjamin Moore provides is key to creating that.” As is the breadth of selection. “Benjamin Moore does an excellent job of curating rich, lovely colors, plus providing the greatest selection of whites and off-whites in various undertones,” Lisa says. “They always seem to land on the perfect amount of saturation, ensuring brilliant hues never look like Crayola colors on the wall.” Peter adds his application tip for those bright shades: “Use a gray primer under reds and blues to avoid multiple coats.” bandddesign.com, papermoonpainting.com

Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled painting contractor? Timothy: Our projects tend to have beautiful architectural details, wood paneling and plasterwork, which require specialty painting. We also work on historic homes where an understanding of preservation is key.

How do the feature benefits of a paint product influence your specification? Bill: We love Benjamin Moore’s SCUFF-X® for families because it is washable and scrubbable. Low or no-odor formulas like Eco Spec® are desirable for health-conscious clients and those with young children. I also recommend semigloss and eggshell finishes for kitchens and baths, but flat ones for ceilings and matte for walls. Which colors inspire you the most? Timothy: I am most influenced by the vibrant, saturated colors used in mid-18th-century French design. I like warm shades versus cooler ones in any color, because they make a space feel welcoming. timothy-corrigan.com, pinkpainter.net

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL ALLISON PALADINO AND ZITA RUDD + CHAD QUIST

“ The design journey is a bit of a relay race where we continuously pass the baton back and forth , supporting each other at each stage.”

Chad: Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select Matte is a favorite because it has a very subtle sheen but is almost flat. The way it toys with light gives a home a lovely glow. It can also be scrubbed clean without damage. paladinorudd.com, irawalden.com

A warm taupe, a deep blueberry, a soft blush—out of all the colors under the sun, these three, Tracy Morris says, will always captivate her. The interior designer has a deep appreciation for color’s role in her creations, and construction and paint expert George Fritz has a passion for exceptional paint application. “Paint can transform a ‘blah’ space into something spectacular,” Tracy says. George adds, “And selecting the right paint can make the difference between an easy project and happy client or an extended project and miserable client.” Perhaps it’s no wonder these two have been a dream project team for almost a decade.

Why is your collaborative relationship critical to a project’s success? Allison: It broadens how creative you can be. Recently, we wanted to bleach a mahogany ceiling in an outdoor space and then apply a beige stain to cut the green hue and create a soft shade. It would be challenging, but Chad accomplished it in one try. He is a master of subtle texture! Describe the impact of paint on interiors. Zita: We’ve been doing a lot of transitional spaces where the walls, moldings and ceilings are the same color but varying finishes. This becomes a clean and serene envelope perfect for showcasing art, which exemplifies the influence paint has on our designs. What role does paint sheen/finish play?

How did you three come to work together?

Peter: We went to college together and ultimately found ourselves in the same industry 20 years later. Share your tips for paint selection. Everick: For a modern feel, Lisa and I like to specify our signature look, which includes painting the trim, doors and baseboard the same color as the wall in a satin or matte finish. In rooms where the ceilings are 8 feet tall or shorter, we choose white or lighter colors in flat finishes to create the illusion of a taller space.

Peter: Believe it or not, AURA® in a basic white. Simply put, it works the best for trim, and this is an area that often gets overlooked. Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled interior designer? Peter: If the client loves their color selections, they’ll be happy with our work and vice versa. We make the colors look their best, but it’s all about the color for the homeowner. everickbrown.com, certapro.com/westchester CHICAGO, IL JOAN CRAIG + STEVE HESTER

Exactitude and craftsmanship, vision and inspiration —these are the elements that come together in the partnership of Joan Craig and Steve Hester. The designer and painting pro, and their respective teams, have made an art form out of collaboration for more than a decade. Joan knows that color transforms a space, and Steve’s 70-plus skilled painters take the utmost pride in their work. “We want to give our customers a finished product that will last for years to come,” Steve says. And they do, by helping designers like Joan select the perfect formula and finish before applying it beautifully. craigandco.com, hesterdecorating.com “ Th e final paint coats impact the big picture. If they aren’t perfect, every other effort and vision is diminished.”

WESTCHESTER, NY

What is your all-time favorite Benjamin Moore product?

LISA BROWN “Always determine the best color for a room by painting a 2-by-2-foot foam board and moving it around the space. It should suit in every patch of light.”

EMILIE MUNROE “ The level of preparation a surface needs for a perfect application depends on the sheen, and that decision is informed by many factors: lighting, traffic, color and more.” STEVE HESTER “Next to space planning, paint is the most significant effect we can have on an environment.”

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

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

ALLISON PALADINO “I a m a China White OC-141 fan. We work with a lot of natural materials, and its taupe undertone works amazingly well with wood and stone.”

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E Advice FROM THE Experts

TIMOTHY CORRIGAN “ When chosen well, paint can regulate the mood of a room, making a sunny space feel fresh and cool or an area with minimal windows feel cozy and comfortable.”

JAMIE DRAKE “Deep, saturated hues for the win! Life is too short to live in a sea of white. Make a choice and lean in. If you tire of it (you won’t) you can easily repaint.”

We have our go-to favorites!”

“Use AURA® Bath & Spa matte in the bathroom, especially for deeper colors. I’ve got baths I painted 10-plus years ago that still look new because of this formula.” JAMES LACKFORD “High-gloss ceilings, which have great drama and bounce light off, take a room to heaven.”

I recently read that portraits by Barkley L. Hendricks will be featured alongside old masters at The Frick Collection in New York City. Hendricks is the first artist of color to have a solo show at the 87-year-old museum. That an institution presenting European art from the 14th to 19th centuries will be showing work of a contemporary artist whose focus is large-scale portraits of Black Americans—and who was an influential predecessor to the likes of Kehinde Wiley, Amy Sherald, Toyin Ojih Odutola and others—is significant for the art world...and, indeed, for us all.

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

At this same museum in January 2015, I stood in front of John Singer Sargent’s Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, a painting I studied in my college art history classes. It has had a profound effect on me as both a design editor and an artist. I have my calendar marked to be back at the Frick in Fall 2023 to view Hendrick’s Steve with an equal measure of exuberant anticipation. Enjoy our art-focused issue. Please support artists and the arts.

Art and culture are at its heart: The brand partnered with Miami artist Jen Stark, who splashed the 252-room Brickell hotel’s façade with five vibrant pieces of artwork; meanwhile, the interiors are filled with various artists’ work that exude distinct Miami flair. All guest rooms are uniform in style, with oversize king beds fitted with fine European linens, a jetlag-bursting shower and MoodPad tablets that control everything from the temperature to the blinds and entertainment. Designed to feel like a living room, the lobby is well-appointed with comfy furnishings, books and art. Head up to the rooftop pool and bar to soak up sweeping views of downtown. citizenm.com

Moody drama envelops guests the moment they enter Dirty French Steakhouse in Brickell, another design masterpiece by renowned interior designer Ken Fulk for Major Food Group. “We took inspiration from legendary hot spots across the globe—El Morocco, Indochine, Les Bains—using elements from these fabled nightclubs,” he says of the spaces decked out with animal and jungle prints, mashrabiya screens and silk lanterns. “Dirty French instantly feels iconic.” Walk down a dimly lit corridor lined with hand-carved, ebony-hued mashrabiya panels to the Jungle Bar: a lounge dressed in a wild, tropical pattern and anchored by an onyx bar punctuated by brass banana-leaf pendants dangling from above. Amplifying the extraordinary glamour, the main dining space grabs attention with zebra-patterned seating, smoky mirrors, walls adorned in burnt-orange velvet and silk-and-brass lamps that suspend from the gold-leaf ceiling. Meanwhile, the private dining room literally dazzles with rainbow Venini glass chandeliers that burst with color and reflect off the tables, silver-leaf ceiling and mosaic mirrored “disco ball” walls. dirtyfrench.com

NEW HEIGHTS LEVEL UP AT SOUTH FLORIDA’S NEWEST LUXURY RESIDENCES

Rising 43 stories, residential skyscraper Ombelle will make a stylish entrance in Fort Lauderdale’s artsy Flagler Village neighborhood in 2025. Designed by New York-based architecture and design studio ODA, its twin towers will surely stand out with structural, tapered outdoor balconies and terraces that create unique sky gardens for each residence.

Brickell’s glittering skyline continues to grow with The St. Regis Residences, Miami, where lovers of the brand’s legendary five-star service can live a hotel-inspired life in 2025. Crafted by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, dual towers will boast bell-shaped forms that allow for epic views of Biscayne Bay’s turquoise waters. Interiors by Rockwell Group will be inspired by Miami’s history as a major trading and travel hub, the coastal location and the building’s views of the bay. Residents will be treated to luxury amenities such as a signature tearoom, a cutting-edge virtual reality golf room and a sky-level bar with water views. A central spa area with private treatment rooms, as well as cold-dip and regulation lap pools, will connect both towers and serve as the primary communal space. Owners can also expect a collection of museum-quality artworks along with the brand’s signature service and iconic rituals. miamisrr.com

What’s Ahead. I’m currently working on a series of large-scale paintings of Palm Beach’s amazing midcentury modern apartment buildings. They are elegant icons from a simpler time and have wonderful geometric shapes to paint. I’m also exploring works on paper featuring tropical garden scenes.

082 L U X E S O U R C E C O M S C E N E CGSEDINDISPATH

The Process. Working from my own photographs, I select a favorite setting and then do several thumbnail sketches in both colored pencils and charcoal to figure out the best composition and value. The final edit is drawn on canvas, which I then paint using acrylics. Depending on the size of the piece, it may take me a month or more to finish a painting.

The Beginning I discovered the magic of working with colors, lines and shapes at an early age. But I only started painting in my mid-twenties when I was commissioned to create a series of large-scale pieces. Then, in 2000, I took a career-changing trip to Italy where I lived in Florence. When I returned home, I saw my neighborhood in a brand-new way. The colors of the trees and grass were such an energetic green, and I noticed how beautiful the homes, yards and gardens were. I realized I didn’t have to go to another country for inspiration—I could simply paint the ordinary sights all around me. And that is how my current series of artwork began.

NINA DAVIDOWITZ

The Art. My interests in garden landscapes and historic architecture is reflected in my work. I enjoy showing how natural and man-made worlds can coexist in a harmonious balance. I’m inspired by everyday scenes where dramatic lighting can create interesting patterns of highlight and shadow. Somehow this illumination turns the ordinary into something special.

Vibrant green shrubbery. Clear bluebird skies. Architecturally rich buildings. Selftaught artist Nina Davidowitz brings landscapes and neighborhoods to life through her paintings injected with light and vivid color. Davidowitz moved to South Florida from Pennsylvania several years ago, and her Lake Worth townhouse now doubles as her studio. Her work can be found at Mtn Space Gallery, and she also enjoys personal commissions, including house portraits. ninadavidowitz.com

When it came time for Beni Rugs to open a brick-and-mortar outpost, the standard-issue gallery didn’t feel right. So, co-founder Robert Wright opted to do what a rare but emerging coterie of brands have embraced: roll out the welcome mat for clients in a place that would typically have one in the first place. An actual home. In 2018, the then digital-only company got its start by allowing people to fully customize Moroccan rugs. But a few years later, the time had come to expand to a physical location. “We wanted it to feel like you’re coming over to your friend’s apartment....and oh, by the way, on the floor are rugs from our newest collection,” Wright explains. “It was a fun exercise to think: ‘Well, why don’t we come up with an apartment in New York that’s the home of our ideal Beni consumer?’” They imagined everything from this fictitious client’s art collection down to the trinkets brought home from their travels. Thus, their new appointment-only Greenwich Village studio in a circa 1900 brownstone on West 9th Street in Manhattan was born. Other brands embracing the idea that style begins at home include Casa Perfect, Lee Broom, Gabriel & Guillaume and Galerie Philia (the latter of which opened its latest traveling showroom inside a $10 million Chelsea apartment). “We wanted to show that you can not only live with these historical pieces, but also mix them in a very casual way,” says Guillaume Excoffier, co-founder (with Nancy Gabriel) of Gabriel & Guillaume, which procures everything from Martin Szekely’s 1988 Betty armchairs to a 1950 Italian sofa by Federico Munari. The gallery, featuring rotating exhibitions, is currently ensconced in an appointment-only, twostory residence at 11 West 57th Street in New York City. “We have created a new kind of retail experience—something more exclusive, something more private— like entering into the apartment of a collector,” Gabriel says. It’s no surprise then that companies are seeing this model resonate with consumers, as navigating the sometimes-arduous task of making design choices now seems much easier in a familiar setting.

Beni Rugs worked with stylist Colin King to perfect their townhouse space in New York City’s Greenwich Village (left).

JOLIE NGO As the youngest member of the museum’s Makers’ Circle, recent art school graduate Jolie Ngo creates ceramic ‘cyborg-like’ objects and vessels using modern technologies, including 3-D printing and rapid prototyping. A child of the early aughts, her aesthetic was shaped by digital interfaces including Minecraft and The Sims, and she continues to explore the intersection between handmade and automated. “Shaker work is quite the opposite of my own with a focus on simplicity and purpose,” Ngo says. “Their objects lack unnecessary ornamentation and decorative detail.” But, nonetheless, she has come to appreciate this ethos of making. “They believed that mastery of craft was a partnership with tools, materials and process—an idea I hold close within my own work, continuously probing the synergy between what is formed by hand versus technology.” ngojolie.net

NOSANCHUK David Nosanchuk, studying designs of the allowed him to develop an oeuvre very rooted in the present. Using new materials, methods and processes, Nosanchuk is remaking traditional Shaker work such as wooden candlestands in translucent resin. A longtime student of Shaker style, the New York-based artist has come to understand that their culture and beliefs were tied to what they produced. Be it a chair, table or baby’s toy, form harks back to the maker’s values—a quiet Nosanchuk honors throughout every stage of construction. davidnosanchuk.com

“Iconic Shaker pieces, like chairs and boxes, have always had a pull on us as designers,” explains Ladies & Gentlemen Studio’s Dylan Davis, adding that working with the museum has “been an amazing opportunity to do a deeper dive into their culture.” Davis, who founded his multidisciplinary Brooklyn studio in 2010 with wife Jean Lee, believes historical principles of Shakerism can change how we look at contemporary life. For example, they reimagined one of the Shakers’ most intentionally designed furnishings that centers around a closely held belief: the workstation. The pair’s secretary-style iteration features just the right amount of room for everyday items while allowing them to be concealed at the end of the day ladiesandgentlemenstudio.com

KATIE STOUT When going through the Shaker Museum’s collection, Katie Stout was drawn to colorful, sweet and soft objects— in other words, not the iconic pieces noted for minimalism.

A HISTORICAL RENOVATION IS IN THE WORKS AT THE SHAKER MUSEUM.

RADAR OONTEWRTHY L U X E S O U R C E C O M

As a direct response to a bonnet and cloak she found in the archives, the trail blazing artist created a whimsical chair out of muslin layered with ruffles and ruching. Stout describes the final result as “a silly, frilly duo of cloaked and bonnet-ed chairs joined in a permanent Shaker dance.”

Arriving in the United States around 1774, the Shakers were a Utopian sect who created a distinctly new design vernacular. Prioritizing function above all else, they favored simple, pared-down aesthetics that allowed an object’s materiality to shine. The group was also known for championing gender and racial equality, communal living and sustainability. At their peak in the 1900s, thousands of members resided throughout the Northeast, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.

A preview of the new museum, which includes an outdoor amphitheater.

On the Move

Today, the Shaker Museum in Chatham, New York, continues to tell their story, showcasing the most comprehensive collection of art, furniture, objects and materials in the country—much of which was out of view for the last decade. The museum will soon enter a new iteration, and double in size, as it moves to a 19th-century industrial building within Colombia County, where Selldorf Architects and Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects are heading up interior and exterior renovations respectively. An inaugural Makers’ Circle, consisting of contemporary artists and designers, is collaborating with the museum’s leadership on institutional decisions. As executive director Lacy Schutz notes, “the Shaker Museum continues to convene and engage a community of creatives connected to its material culture and whose work is informed by it today.” shakermuseum.us

And while the contemporary artist is drawn to the group’s “resourcefulness, simple solutions and entrepreneurial genius” she is also interested in the predominance of female makers and the role women played in propelling 19th century craft forward. katiestout.com

A SEASONED STONE PURVEYOR’S NEXT MOVE: A FRESH LOOK + NEW PRODUCTS

And now, it’s entering a new chapter … “Through a brand refresh and novel product offerings, our goal is to continue to promote a lifestyle-centric perspective and emphasize how stone can play a key role in creating spaces where memories are made and design influences the everyday moments of life,” says Sarah Lograsso, Eldorado Stone’s director of marketing and product design. “We want to help people curate the perfect backdrop for every space.”

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

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

THE START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL™ “With respect to new product development, we look carefully at the inﬂuence of people’s lifestyles on architecture and design, and how the comprehensive purpose of everyday environments will impact those who inhabit them in a very practical way,” Lograsso says. “We look to where a client chooses to spend time and what draws them into that space. Is it a tranquil and serene retreat for unwinding at the end of the day? Or is it the hustle and bustle of a lively kitchen for family gatherings? Perhaps a curated display of adventures traveled? Any of those elements can spark inspiration and play an integral role in shaping beautiful spaces.”

Opposite Indoors or out, Loire Valley™ RoughCut® pairs brilliantly with other natural elements for the perfect expression of organic luxury.

For their freshman debut, The High Key’s Relief collection explores curvaceous shapes as is evident in the Glove Couch. Founder and creative director John Vieweg first designs pieces using 3D software, after which a network of manufacturers build the designs to exact renderings. Vieweg contemplated the idea of ‘relief’ throughout the design process: from the physical relief of sitting on a sofa, to the way in which reliefs were historically made by carving away at materials—a method employed on the sofa’s interior foam body to achieve its final construction. thehighkey.design

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

Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson, the design duo behind Drake/Anderson, are known for their stylish schemes and a penchant for producing luxurious, impactful spaces. So, when their clients—a couple who had just purchased an apartment in a new Manhattan building—wanted to gut their kitchen in favor of injecting some personality and color, the designers were more than happy to oblige. “We landed on a beautiful blue for the cabinetry, which looks rich, sophisticated and playful,” Anderson says of the chosen hue: Benjamin Moore’s Vermont Slate. The painted custom cabinetry also cam ouflages all appliances and even houses a semi-walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. “The color was the biggest point of departure, and the marble came second,” Anderson continues. “The client loves interesting stones, and this room has three! The Oyster White marble on the countertops and backsplash is highly gestured with organic veining, while the White Thassos and Blue de Savoie marbles on the floor are laid in a geometric Mondrian-style pattern but they all marry together wonderfully.” Another focal point is the plush L-shape banquette, which is built into the back of the peninsula, saving valuable square footage and giving the room a nice sense of movement. This informal dining nook is visually connected to the prep area with a large lighting piece from Apparatus overhead while artwork by Melinda Hackett enlivens the entire space. “This kitchen isn’t huge,” Anderson says, “but it certainly feels dynamic.” drakeanderson.com

Drake/Anderson filled this Manhattan kitchen with striking touches, like custom cabinetry in Benjamin Moore’s Vermont Slate, Oyster White marble countertops, Mondrian-esque stone flooring, artwork by Melinda Hackett and an Apparatus light fixture.

Clockwise from above: Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson’s book Bold: The Interiors of Drake/Anderson (Rizzoli) drops in October. The tome contains 11 projects, including Anderson’s own New York apartment, where a marble bath features pops of yellow. Both the brass-sheathed wet bar and kitchen are located in a London residence. rizzoliusa.com A SELECTION OF KITCHENS AND BATHS FROM THEIR NEW BOOK. “It’s fun combining details that feel antique or old-world with those that are more modern.

To satiate the same client’s love of color and Bisazza tile, Drake/Anderson enveloped a powder bath located off the office in a mesmerizing gradient mosaic. “The upper half almost recalls windows in a skyscraper,” Jamie Drake says. Since the design of the adjacent workspace is fun and whimsical, the same feeling was carried into the bathroom with a playful all-over tile arrangement. Drake notes that, “the clean, contemporary floating vanity doesn’t compete with the surroundings, but its curved shape adds another layer of visual interest.” A benefit of sheathing every surface in tile? “It melts the perimeters of the room, making it appear larger,” Drake explains. drakeanderson.com

FLORAL FAN TASY

For his third collaboration with Ann Sacks, designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard embraced his love of historic fabrics. The new Eutopia line of glass mosaics features ﬁve botanical patterns—three of which are based on wallcovering motifs previously conceived by Bullard, including Sultan’s Garden (shown)—in 49 custom shades. “This collection was born out of my passion for East-Indian and Middle-European textiles,” Bullard says, “which often contain magical patterns depicting the Tree of Life and Mughal ﬂowers.” annsacks.com HEADSHOT: COURTESY DESIGNER.

What an interesting vanity! The custom L-shape vanity was purely an aesthetic choice. The client didn’t have a need for storage below, which allowed us to do something a bit di erent with the design. For the wallpaper installation, we mimicked the form of the vanity and extended it from one accent wall up to the ceiling. shannonmurrayinteriors.com

The only mandate was to incorporate blue, so we gave this bath a ‘wow’ factor using many shades of the vibrant hue. I really enjoy creating one-of-a-kind powder rooms—they are truly the best space to do something out of the ordinary. Talk to us about the brass accents. We carried the subtle gold shimmer in the wallpaper through to the modern brushed-brass Kohler sink ﬁ xtures. Lucky for us, the client already had the metallic mirror from her previous home, and it worked perfectly with the round sconce from Arteriors.

For a residence in Rye, New York, designer Shannon Murray Petruzello of Shannon Murray Interiors envisioned a glamorous powder room inspired by her client’s favorite color. “This home was originally built in the 1980s, so we did a full renovation of the ﬁrst ﬂoor— including this existing powder room—in order to modernize it for a young family,” explains Murray Petruzello, who paired a cool marbleized wallpaper by Schumacher with Benjamin Moore’s Cable Knit Sweater on the remaining walls.

Making headlines: The art world is bonkers right now with long waiting lists for new works, sold-out shows and record-breaking auction prices. See: Louise Bourgeois’ Spider sold for $40 million at Art Basel and Andy Warhol’s Marilyn sold last May for $195 million, breaking auction records for an American artist. Looking forward: Amanda Baldwin’s vibrant landscapes are on my radar. I’m excited about her upcoming show at Hesse Flatow in New York City. Hot spot: Berlin has amazing contemporary galleries like Soy Capitán and Wentrup. Sunday school: In 2019, I began presenting Sunday art history lessons on Instagram Live and developed a sizable following during the pandemic. Topics have ranged from art movements like Dada, to the intellectual explosion that took place at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, to deeper dives into artists like Ruth Asawa. Treasure trove: I find new talent through critical reviews and art fairs like NADA Miami that focus on younger galleries and emerging artists. Highlight reel: Amoako Boafo: Soul of Black Folks at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (on view through early October) is a gorgeous show. The way he approaches portraiture with both spirit and brush, as well as his signature finger painting, is inspiring. Collector’s mantra: Buy what you love. The intrigue and attraction should feel instinctual.

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

Nightstand companion: Tell Them I Said No by Martin Herbert—a collection of essays by artists, including David Hammons (a hero of mine), who were creating for the purpose of transaction but ultimately retreated from the art world. Unforgettable institution: Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland, which was started by a Swiss dealer couple with an incredible modern art collection.

MODERN HISTORY

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

New currency: With the rise of NFT’s, the art world has even more accessible paths for all. We sell NFT COAs, which allow us to include a contract in the sale encompassing royalties, so that every time the artwork trades, the artist makes 10 percent. This can be life-changing because artists don’t make a percentage of secondary sales, which is where prices often make headlines. Gallery crush: Del Vaz Projects by Jay Ezra Nayssan. Jay operates a galleryfarmstead from his home in Santa Monica. There’s also an apothecary that sells everything from Persian tea to CBD lavender salve. It’s wonderful to see curators bringing a more artful approach to retail and vice-versa. One to watch: Lisa Dengler. We just signed her and are so excited about her paintings and stone sculptures. On deck: Opening our first physical gallery. I want it to be a place that anyone can walk into and find something—almost like a vinyl store.

ARTS EVOLUTION

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

RAINBOW CONNECTION

Inspiration fix: One of the realms where truly original ideas are born is science fiction, and that is most of what I recreationally read these days. Ted Chiang and Liu Cixin are authors that I come back to. Arts destination: The vibrancy and creative freedom of Mexico City are rare—there’s always something unexpected. Hot topic: One of the most important subjects being discussed in the world at large, is the essential right to project different realities and possible futures. I’ve seen so many resonances with this idea. One example is the Venice Biennale, titled The Milk of Dreams curated by Cecilia Alemani, which, from specific art history perimeters, questions the agency of imagination. Pièce de résistance: Few things compare to The Lightning Field (1977) by Walter De Maria—a land art work in New Mexico in the Dia’s collection. De Maria used to say that every great artwork should have at least 10 meanings, and the myriad of ideas that can be interconnected to this piece is almost unfathomable. The way in which one experiences it, and what one can obtain from that experience, speaks directly a bout what we do at Dia.

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

Life-changing institution: The Noguchi Museum in Queens. It taught me how to sit quietly and take a long look. Coming up: This spring, we’re hosting an event curated by Art Handler. I can’t reveal too much, only that it’s a multi-event experience not to be missed! We’re also slated to have a show by New York City’s Bortolami Gallery featuring Robert Bordo. Design crush: Artist duo Kristen Wentrcek and Andrew Zebulon. I’ve never seen such high level of craft meet fearlessness and yet somehow remain functional. My wife and I own several of their pieces and admire them daily.

Fantasy acquisitions: Anything ever made by Carrie Mae Weems! If I could extend the spree, I’d buy a Carlton bookcase by Ettore S ottsass, a Cecily Brown painting, a Sam Moyer sculpture and a large wall piece by this little-known artist named Sol LeWitt. Dreaming big: I’d love to expand this concept, potentially in partnership with institutions. It’s also my hope that my team continue to spearhead consistent public programming that’s accessible to people of every age, color and educational background.

Frustrated by the quality of studio space in New York City, artist Stef Halmos saw an opportunity to develop her dream resource. She set her sights on three historic mills in the Hudson Valley, converting them into Foreland: a vibrant arts campus spanning galleries, studios, collective workspace, public programming and event spaces—all built to create agency for working artists. forelandcatskill.com; stefhalmos.com

RISING TIDE

Donovan Johnson joined Bill Lowe Gallery 10 years ago, where he gracefully ascended the ranks. Upon the passing of his beloved mentor, for which the gallery is named, last December, Johnson was appointed executive director, tasked with ushering the Atlanta institution into its next chapter. lowegallery.com

On deck: The first show scheduled for next year is called Alchemy and features Black artists from around the United States, including Thornton Dial, Wifredo Lam and Emma Amos. It’s a group show around this idea that in marginalized communities, there’s an innate call to take whatever you have and turn it into something that transcends its first state of being. Virtual reality: During the pandemic, galleries introduced 3-D viewing rooms. This technology had been around too long for us to be suffering from the 2-D aspects of photography! Now anyone can experience sculpture in 3D; you can even see surveys of the Whitney Biennial on YouTube. It’s a beautiful thing about the world we live in. Arresting artist: Ilídio Candja Candja, who was born in Mozambique around the time they won their independence from Portugal. He paints these beautiful abstractions around the influences of colonization. Lasting impression: The exhibition What is Left Unspoken, Love at Atlanta’s High Museum achieved true resonance. Fair game: Atlanta is 49 percent black. Generally speaking, art in the South is so much more diverse than what is currently being seen. Our programming moving forward will be reflective of this.

Industry buzz: There’s been a lot of talk about works by young artists reaching upwards of six figures privately and at auction. Three factors contributed to this phenomenon: newly-created crypto wealth, which added diverse buyers to the market, trillions in American dollars printed and a lack of primary access to work for new collectors. Fall happenings: September 2 marks the first installment of the Frieze Art Fair in Seoul. I’m excited to see what happens when the art world meets the sophistication of South Korea’s artists, institutions and collectors. Closer to home, the September opening of Hauser & Wirth in West Hollywood will be a treat for Angelenos. Buoyed by: The increased presence of Latinx, AAPI and BIPOC run galleries, including Commonwealth and Council (LA), Regular Normal (NYC), LaPau (LA), Calderón (NYC), Mariane Ibrahim (Chicago), Sow & Tailor (LA), Make Room (LA) and Estrella (NYC). Collecting 101: With so much art in the world, working around themes of identity, geography, medium, or a combination of three, can help focus decision-making while creating depth.

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

Harmonious design is great design. Known for environments with “blended balance,” Bakes & Kropp’s co-founders, Bob Bakes and Paul Kropp, thoughtfully consider all the elements in their designs, which results in outstanding spaces. Bakes, head of design at the firm, says that every element should “have a friend to talk to,” meaning that each accent or texture is reflected in some way throughout the space and does not stand alone. “There have to be moments where you can feel the connection between different areas, whether it’s through color, texture or finishes,” he adds.

Photography Top & Left by Nicole Larson; Far left by Ric Marder

Bakes & Kropp concentrates on giving clients spaces that are truly personal with the common denominators among projects being more visceral than visual. “There’s a sense of peace our clients experience when they fully absorb what we’ve put together in their kitchens,” says Bakes. “All elements are simply blended, with hints of symmetry and color connection. Our cabinetry is crafted with the philosophy that a nicely designed kitchen should be the most welcoming and comfortable part of the home.”

“Subtle balance, texture and symmetry are the elements that influence our designs and the spaces we create for our clients.”

KITCHEN + BATH | PALM BEACH + BROWARD

Moving forward, Bakes and Kropp anticipate the popularity of the all-white kitchen to endure well into 2022 and beyond, while homeowners embrace the growing interest in more personalized alternatives. Bakes explains: “Our clients will be open to more adventurous design choices as they see the color and texture palettes that are on the horizon.” bakesandkropp

BAKES & KROPP 888.206.0015 | bakesandkropp.com |

There’s an unmatched sense of togetherness that is achieved when living, cooking and enjoyment are blended into one harmonious space. “Open kitchens are almost always the focal point of any first-floor room configuration,” Bakes shares. “The need to sequester the kitchen is an old concept, and I don’t think it’s going to be making a return any time soon.”

THE NEW NEUTRAL Color resonates in distinct ways for different people, but the Fuse team has noticed one overarching trend: green color palettes are in. Robertson elaborates, “Green and blue are essentially the new neutrals that pair well with wood tones, crisp or creamy whites, or bolder tones, creating an optimistic, fresh space.” “With open floor plans, it is important to decide if the appliances will become a statement piece or blend into the overall design.”

A SHIFT IN KITCHEN DESIGN

“The most beautiful kitchens are those that are true reflections of their owners.”

There’s plenty of room in the residential design world for alternatives to the ubiquitous sleek white kitchen. Howle notes the emergence of organic materials, like natural wood cabinetry, rustic farmhousestyle kitchen tables, natural stone, marble and darker colors. These elements, Howle says, “bring warmth to the room where families cook, gather and connect.”

MAIN BATH MUSTS

Through the architectural lens of Harry Gandy Howle, a kitchen must balance sleek function, striking elements and careful attention to detail. For the multi-faceted design professional (equal parts architect, interior designer and landscape architect), ample counter space in the kitchen is critical, as is durability. Howle adds that music, ambient lighting and comfortable seating make the kitchen as much of an entertainment space as a chef’s workstation. An increase in domesticity means that many people have discovered a newfound appreciation for Classical architectural details. “These create the peacefulness of home sweet home,” Howle says. Such architectural features large butler’s pantries, grand entrances and creative cocktail bars. A longtime student of the Classics, Howle says traditional style is not only comforting but logical. “Traditional will have a few updated features and will be conducive for working or entertaining from home,” he says.

“The bathroom should be a sanctuary,” says Howle, whose clients often request spa-like design and functionality. A much-coveted feature is a steam shower that incorporates aromatherapy and chromotherapy elements, which have positive effects on stress levels. As Howle points out: “Who doesn’t need a private spa space in their home to unwind and destress?”

The showroom now continues her vision in Boca Raton. Debbie Miller, general manager, knows that it’s important to strike the right balance between form and function. “People want beautiful products everywhere, and functionality needs to play a huge role in kitchens and bathrooms,” says Miller. “For us, the key is communication. Understanding what features, benefits, styles and finishes are important to the clients—as well as their lifestyles—is critical. If a client doesn’t like fingerprints, introduce matte finishes.

In design, rules can be broken, certain ones. In terms of function and usability, rules are strictly followed. Longtime kitchen and bath designer Barbara Geller says her No. 1 rule—above all else— is function first. “It’s not enough for a kitchen or bath to look good,” she says. “If they don’t function in the home, they have no purpose.” Geller, who is the president of the acclaimed South Florida firm The Place for Kitchens and Baths, is known for creating thoughtful kitchens that perform flawlessly. Versatility is also at the core of a kitchen by Geller, where the dynamic space can act as a gathering place, a home office or even a classroom. This concept has evolved into more space dedicated for the kitchen and durable workstations, with technology interspersed throughout. “Smart elements, like motion-sensitive faucets and touch-screen refrigerators, are changing the way we use our kitchens,” she adds.

Weighing in on the outdoor living trend and what it takes to create a functional open-air kitchen, Holford says: “Quartzite has become increasingly popular and is a go-to here. This is due to its wide range of colors that coincide well with various designs and color palettes, as well as its UV resistance, which makes it perfect for outdoors.”

In the living area, a Michel Faublée artwork is framed by draperies made of a Formations textile from Jerry Pair. A pouf from Walker Zabriskie Furniture rests by a table from Sutherland holding a vintage lamp. The flooring is Turkish marble from SK Stones.

The 9-foot terrace, home to sitting and dining areas, received a facelift with a limestone wall, cast-stone pavers and plenty of greenery. By aligning the sliders with the front door and opting for a glass-railing staircase, Brown ensured the lush space is visible from the entrance, bringing the outdoors in.

The renovation gave Brown a fresh chance to convey his unique style: a duality of East Coast and West Coast sensibilities sprinkled with global accents. “Early in my career, I trained in Los Angeles, so I always say it’s a fusion of California and Florida,” he explains. “I love textures, patterns and throwing in punches of color or excitement. I want to mix it all up and have incredible surprises as you round each corner.”

The living area is an eclectic assortment of some of the designer’s favorite pieces, including a side table with lion’s paw feet and a pouf boasting an African-inspired print. The Floridian side of his work manifests here in details like the palm leaf patterns on the pillows and club chair and the warm orange-pink hue of the fireplace wall. “The light doesn’t come into the living area very well, which was something that always bothered me,” Brown says. “Because that wall is across from a window, I lacquered it with a wonderful peach color, so it brightens up as the sun shines in.” Pocket doors allow this space to open or close to the media room, which nods to California with a shag rug, geometric prints—like the sofa’s gray flame stitch—and bold works from the owners’ developing collection of art, including pieces the designer painted himself. “It shows I’m not afraid of color or pattern,” he says. “So much of what we have is from our travels, and I love mixing the textures and memories.” Assuredly, Brown is an acolyte of color, yet because the home is a relatively compact space, he approached the palette judiciously. Keeping the base canvas—walls, floors, cabinetry—largely neutral, he saved the brightest tones for where they would be most impactful. Complementing the kitchen’s Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, for instance, the white cabinetry features sporadic pops of his favorite hue. “Yellow is a perfect accent, and I’m crazy about a color I call ‘curry,’ ” the designer says. “As an attempt to bring more light into the room, it’s such a warm tone and reminds me of sunshine.”

Fortunately, the designer’s good-natured teasing paid off: The neighbors eventually decided to sell, and the couple inherited the extra space.

The addition of the staircase also afforded the creation of an entry hall defined by a Macassar wall that floats across the entire ground floor. “It’s the one consistent natural material that cuts through the apartment,” the designer says. “This adds an element of strength and modernism to the space and gives the illusion that everything is bigger than it is.”

To Brown, Rick and their guests, the abode’s latest iteration is its best yet. “I think of it as Michael Taylor meets Dorothy Draper,” the designer says. “I love when people come over: They’re so surprised by the transformation, because it looks nothing like it did before. They haven’t seen anything like this in Palm Beach.”

Brown and Rick chose to start over, demolish the layouts and connect the two floors through an interior staircase, essentially creating a townhome in the boutique building. They designated their previous bedroom as an office/guest space and the second former bedroom as a media room to complement the living area, leaving the entire upstairs to become the primary suite. An important part of the project involved opening up the downstairs galley kitchen, enlarging it to four times the original size and connecting it to the outdoors. “We put a big, beautiful island in the middle and sliding doors that pocket into the walls of the house,” the designer says, “so when we’re entertaining, we can open them up to the backyard.”

very now and then, designer Mitch Brown would joke with his upstairs neighbors about convincing them to sell him their apartment. Of course, behind every joke is usually an element of truth. Having lived in their ground-floor residence for more than a decade, Brown and his husband, Rick Moeser, desired more room but were reluctant to leave their prime location near the beach.

Threads of Time The handiwork of a textile artist embraces imperfections as part of each piece’s story. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER PFAFF SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY BY SONYA REVELL

stray thread dangles from the middle of a pink cloth, disrupting the horizontal lines of the delicate fabric tediously handwoven by Frances Trombly. But to her, the accidental interruption simply tells the history of the piece. “Because it’s handmade, it’s never perfect,” the artist acknowledges. Like an archive, her textiles reveal the minutia of her handiwork and are a greater observation on the passage of time. As “errors and wounds” unfold during her creative process, Trombly explains, so do imperfections outside the studio. “In life, we have these markers in time, and you can’t escape them. They’re a part of us, and that’s what makes us beautiful.”

The Miami artist’s past work was primarily object-based, such as a box made of woven cloth. Then she began creating canvases. “As I would work, I’d see scars throughout the process— beautiful mistakes,” Trombly says, pointing to knots and loose strings. “I had to decide: How important are these mistakes to me, and can I use them in the work?” She chose to accept them and embraced a more abstract concept of woven cloth draped on wood structures. Rayon, cotton and silk make up most of the artist’s pieces, constructed via an intensive method that requires skeining, washing and dyeing the material before even sitting at the loom. Her palette consists of a trinity of ancient dyes: indigo; madder root, a spectrum of red; and weld, a gorgeous yellow.

Just as a painting has a frame, most of the artist’s finished canvases hang from a structure handmade from maple, referencing the material of her loom. And like its blemishes, the cloth falls in an inexact way, usually off-center, presenting its natural form. To Trombly, each piece honors undervalued female labor. “So many of us exist in a place where much of the work we do, especially me as a mother, goes unseen,” she affirms. It also complements the works of fellow artists at Dimensions Variable, the non-profit she founded with her husband, artist Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, to support art not necessarily embraced by the market. With every assemblage she fabricates, Trombly— who will exhibit in September at the Mindy Solomon Gallery—aims to change the public perception of tapestry. “Using this medium is so empowering,” she says. “It’s creating a stance of: This is just as valuable.”

Most of her canvases hang from structures handmade from maple (bottom), representing the material of her loom (left). Just as she leaves errors such as knots in her work, the artist typically drapes the cloth off-center. “I tend to gravitate toward works that can be a little uncomfortable,” she says. “I like things that are imperfect.”

Nirvana 161 by Seo Young Deok kneels in the foyer alongside the staircase by Stair Builders of South Florida. Walls painted Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White and French oak flooring offer a neutral backdrop for the home’s artwork and extensive views.

For designer Carolina Freyre, two primary elements were clear from the start of the third residence she completed for repeat clients: the family’s compelling art collection and the home’s modern farmhouse architecture. “It was a luxury to start with art, because it really anchored and directed the project,” Freyre says. “And it was exciting to work on an edgier idea of a farmhouse; the two fit well together.” Architects Max Strang and Alexandra Mangimelli had dreamed up this concept on a bosky lot in Miami, and the family purchased the property after builder Alex Pirez framed the structure. “We describe much of our work as ‘regional modernism,’ ” Strang explains. “It’s a softer version of modernism that adapts a house to its site and climate.” Responding to this setting among wonderful old oak trees, the team combined bold exterior materials such as keystone, Kebony wood and glass—lots of it—for a palette that is simultaneously distinctive and rooted in the locale. “It’s a style never before seen in the area,” Pirez adds. The home’s connection to the grounds was furthered by landscape architect Christopher Cawley. “When you think of a modern farmhouse, you tend to think of a forest and then a clearing, where you’d find the structure,” he explains. “So, we tried to use restraint in our design to accentuate the architecture.” One example: After designing the circular driveway, his team planted a trio of gumbo limbo trees in the middle to create a small grove. Grass slits in the front pavers soften the hardscape, and Coccothrinax palms join exterior sculptures in adding interest to the front lawn. The entry of the H-shaped residence, topped with gabled rooflines, is defined by a central glass volume. “It’s so transparent that as you’re walking up to the front door, you can see through the foyer to the pool and backyard,” Strang says. These light-filled spaces called for a style that is “clean, contemporary, livable and warm, with pops of drama,” Freyre describes. She began by considering the clients’ art collection, an assortment of bold-colored works and commanding sculptures. “The art is not delicate or subtle,” the designer notes. “It’s bright and strong, and it makes a statement, so I knew I’d choose a lot of neutral items to let the art be the focus of many rooms.” After deciding on a dining room wall for a vibrant Mr. Brainwash piece, for instance, she selected an ash table, cream-colored chairs and glass pendant lights to keep attention on the painting. A series of Roy Lichtenstein works lining an adjacent hallway creates a “pop art moment,” Freyre says, while white walls and reveal baseboards throughout add a subtle gallery feel. In many ways, the house itself is a work of art. For the living area, walnut veneer and a slab of deep-green quartzite align to form a two-toned wall, each side displaying a striking portrait. Like the dining room, to keep the focus on the art wall, the designer curated neutral furnishings for the space, working in natural materials such as wood armchairs and a driftwood-and-glass coffee table. Across the arrangement, the marble reappears as a shelving backdrop in the glamorous bar area, where she displayed the owners’ crystal collection on a spectacular custom Lucite bar. “I’m always thinking about the mood of a space and what the clients are going to get and feel out of each area,” Freyre explains. “I needed a story that matched the level of entertainment that takes place. Each room serves a purpose.”

ehind every project is a driving factor that inspires the interiors’ look and feel.

Together, all these thoughtfully planned moments allow the residence to function for bustling everyday life as well as for hosting special occasions. The black-and-navy kitchen, for instance, opens to a breakfast area for casual daily meals as well as the family room, which has sliding doors leading to the patio and pool—ideal for gatherings that spill outside. “You feel like the house is accommodating you, whether you’re having an intimate conversation or a large dinner party,” the designer says. Although each space is striking in its own way, the home’s most consistent feature is also one of Freyre’s favorite elements: the views of the lush landscape, seen through expanses of glass throughout—the only “blank” walls in the house. “Everywhere you turn, the outside is part of the inside,” she muses. “The landscape is also art, and it fills up the eye.”

Interior Design: Jessie Schuster, Jessica Schuster Design Landscape Architecture: Christopher Cawley, Christopher Cawley Landscape Architecture Moody Vibes Against a sleek, masculine backdrop, cozy textures add comfort and warmth to a waterfront home. WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BJÖRN WALLANDER

Leaning into the moody feel, Schuster developed interiors that are “modern, eclectic and warm—not stark,” she describes. “The existing palette was rich and saturated and spoke for itself, so immediately I knew I wanted to do something interesting with plaster on the walls and ceilings in a very similar tone.” Her choice— a taupe-colored Venetian style with defined brushstrokes—provides a quiet counterpoint to the home’s shinier finishes, including a massive living room bar clad in polished black marble. “The plaster created a more refined and elevated finish throughout, tying together all of the hard materials and ultimately creating a more cohesive space,” she says. “It also toned down some of the reflective surfaces throughout and made everything feel cooler and more natural.”

n many parts of the country, coastal living is synonymous with a beachy style marked by breezy fabrics, sunny stripes and rattan at every turn. But in South Florida, glamour reigns—and that’s exactly what the owner of this property loves about it. For the jet-setting entrepreneur, a house in the Bahamas is home base, and residences in New York City and London serve practical purposes, while Miami Beach is all about fun.

Landscape architect Christopher Cawley further emphasized those views with his careful selection of palms and native plantings, including lush tangles of hardy railroad vines. Placed just outside the glass balustrades of the multilevel terraces, the plant will eventually cascade over the sides, “softening the edges and making the architecture look like it evolved from the landscape,” Cawley says. “In nature, these vines spread across the dunes, so you can think of this residence as a contemporary interpretation of a landform.” Palms flanking the property work with the dwelling’s angled structure to direct the eye toward the bay while obscuring neighboring homes, “making you feel like you’re in your own world,” he muses. Once the sun dips below the horizon, the owner has another private realm: a bedroom suite in which the house’s rich textures and colors reach a new level of luxury. Here, the walls are swathed in a delicate gray silk woven with shimmering metallic threads, the bed is wrapped in leather and the floors are carpeted in a decadent shearling. “It’s amazing, like heaven,” Schuster says of the floor covering—though, as the homeowner can attest, it’s an apt description for every inch of his new retreat.

When Schuster joined the project, she discovered an under-construction house at the northwest tip of Di Lido Island with a style as distinctive as her client’s. “He has a very masculine, sophisticated sense of design; this is a super modern residence that definitely has a darker, sexier vibe from its finishes,” many of which had already been selected, she says. “It’s not that typical ‘Miami modern,’ where everything is white.”

“He enjoys life and likes to have a good time,” says designer Jessie Schuster, who has created the interiors for each of his properties. “This was meant to be a happy place, where he could host family gatherings and have friends over. He wanted it to be formal but also inviting for his children and their guests.”

With a monochromatic backdrop in place, Schuster added brighter and cozier elements to the palette through furnishings, fabrics and area rugs. “We wanted the rooms to have a very comfortable feel; all the furniture needed to be oversize so you could plop down into it,” she says. The selections also needed to honor the homeowner’s affinity for refined seating by iconic Italian brands such as Minotti and Poliform. To keep the look fresh, Schuster upholstered those classic, contemporary sofas and chairs in rich bouclés, chenilles and leathers. She then paired them with eclectic accompaniments: petrified wood accent tables and vintage accessories in the family room; metal-wrapped coffee tables in the living room; and, near a broad window wall that opens to the main floor’s waterfront terrace, a light fixture made of cast-bronze, handblown glass and marble that stretches from floor to ceiling. By employing an array of neutral tones— punctuated occasionally by a colorful artwork— and angling furnishings toward the expanses of glass, Schuster ensured the home’s Biscayne Bay panorama would always catch the eye first. “Obviously, the emphasis is on outdoor living, because the view is so fantastic,” she says. “We wanted to create a rounded experience to ensure you never felt like you had your back to the water.”
