INSPIRING MIND GABY VITERI
As an independent curator and creative director, Gaby Viteri knows a thing or two about art—including how something was missing in the West Palm Beach creative scene. “When I noticed a gap in female-led shows and art-centered programming, I decided to do something about it,” she says. Viteri swiftly organized “First Female,” an exhibition featuring the work of Hayley Sheldon and Jenny Kiker, which has since blossomed into a movement. Now a community program with membership options, First Female brings together local women in the arts for events, public shows and heartfelt camaraderie. firstfemalepb.com Describe your vision for First Female. My goal is to establish a local and collaborative community for female artists that expands the visibility of their work. Our programming is designed to
be a ripple effect, creating a fertile environment for artists—especially underrepresented women. We aim to bring awareness and change attitudes toward female art while carving out a friendly and engaging space for the makers to collaborate, connect and learn from one another. What’s next? We will continue to have monthly studio visits hosted by one of our artist members. Early this year, one of those includes the new studio of Angela Bulich of LSM Atelier, who specializes in thoughtful and minimalist decor. Any advice for women in the arts? Take the risk, work in your own style, find a community or mentor, and keep showing up. Use social media, and be sure to promote your own work—there is a lot of opportunity out there for those who hustle.
THE SCOOP When the Museum of Ice Cream unveiled a pop-up outpost in Miami Beach for two months in 2017, the interactive exhibit was so successful, it ended up staying for half a year. Now, it will have a permanent location in the Magic City, joining sister sites in New York, Chicago, Austin and Singapore. Opening early this year, the museum will take over two floors in the Miami Worldcenter, dedicating 14,000 square feet to the sweet treat. “Our Miami location is an homage to the city itself and our growth as a leader in the experiential world,” says Maryellis Bunn, one of the founders and CEOs of the Museum of Ice Cream. “Our aim is to weave the city’s unique characteristics into every facet of the guest experience, from the treats we serve to the architecture and design of the space itself.” This includes harnessing the use of AI, “from optimizing spatial layouts to sourcing design inspirations that complement Miami’s unique aesthetic,” she adds. Visitors will experience 10 installations, including the infamous Sprinkle Pool (right), filled with hundreds of antimicrobial versions of the classic topping. museumoficecream.com

Architect Kobi Karp and designer Debora Aguiar have teamed up for a residential project that brings an eco-mindset to the concept of a luxury villa. Under construction now, La Maré Residences Bay Harbor Islands will consist of two eight-story buildings containing a total of 52 units that range from two to four bedrooms. “We wanted to develop an idea of a single-family home and ‘lift it’ in the air while maximizing residents’ quality of life,” Karp says. “The goal was to create a structure that is sustainable and resilient in the face of natural disasters.” Positioned to augment sunlight and air circulation, the LEED-certified buildings will harness natural light to reduce carbon emissions, stand on elevated pilings for protection against changing tides and be insulated by green rooftops constructed of recycled materials. Nature, too—particularly the bay views—inspired Aguiar’s design for the interiors, which incorporate Poliform kitchens, Miele appliances and Antonio Lupi bath fixtures. “Like a black outfit that doesn’t overshadow its jewelry,” she describes, “this is how I envisioned La Maré: a serene palette with smoky tones that don’t compete with the view, allowing for a style that exudes comfort, warmth and sophistication.” lamarebayharbor.com

Christie Ward and Staver Gray founded their Manhattan-based interior design firm, Ward + Gray, in 2020, and have been buzzing ever since. The duo, who met at Parsons School of Design, take a research-driven approach to design, especially their hospitality projects. A distinct, singular aesthetic has garnered them national and international clientele, as well as a dazzling new product line. Hyper-local: Identifying the four pillars, or themes, of a project is where we begin. From there we research the buildings and locations so that each one has a clear sense of place and history. Case studies: A Florida hotel designed by a female architect is currently in progress and reading about her work has really influenced our vision. As for Wildflower Farms, an Auberge Resorts Collection property we recently completed in Upstate New York, we wanted to make something detailed and funky. You can also see a lot of Arts and Crafts references, which has a foothold up there. Homey spaces: Hotels are a big focus for us, but we look to give them a residential feel: collected, contextual and authentic. Hospitality experiences are temporal, so you want it to feel super immersive, a little bold, or even shocking. DIY: We put so much love and energy into creating custom rug designs that it was sad to see them installed and never used again. Hence, our new line was born! We hope to have smaller furnishings and lighting follow soon. wardandgray.com
ARTFUL IDEAS In 2019, Abby Bangser, former Artistic Director of Frieze for the Americas and Asia, launched Object & Thing, a roving exhibition concept where site-specific installations are held at historically significant homes across the country. By curating each event with hand-picked pieces, she created a new gallery model where the physical encounter is critical. Origin story: Our first exhibition was at architect Eliot Noyes’s home in New Canaan, Connecticut. His family keeps the residence as a time capsule of sorts and I thought a show with contemporary art and design would introduce the house to a new audience. We were appointment only and had a waitlist of more than a thousand people. When we closed, everyone said, ‘Where’s the next one?’ House party: Historic artists’ and architects’ homes already have a creative presence. When we add thoughtfully considered contemporary pieces, a dialogue between past and present is created. Giving back: We’ve partnered with nonprofits and given them a percentage of our sales so that the exhibition doubles as a fundraiser. Shop talk: The forthcoming permanent home of Object & Thing will be at a historic destination and represent multiple artists—including Johnny Ortiz-Concha and Frances Palmer—as a traditional gallery would. We will be able to display their work with greater frequency. object-thing.com

SIDE-BY-SIDE
GOLDEN STATE OF MIND Nature and place are the guiding forces behind the work of Rachel Bullock and Molly Purnell, partners at the Los Angeles design firm Laun. Bullock, an architect, and Purnell, a designer, not only have a successful furniture line (expect new materials and colors in the near future) but they also have several home renovations and new builds underway in the L.A. area and beyond. Eyes open: We love the built environment in Los Angeles—it’s liberating and fun—but we’re also influenced by art, fashion and photography. We think about form and color in all aspects. You can’t get stuck in a feedback loop of contemporary architecture. Guilty pleasure: Collecting vintage architecture books for our office library! It’s important to look at a wide array of references for every project. For a new build in Vermont, the client recommended Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn to learn more about New England’s heritage. Artful touches: Connecting clients with local artists to create custom elements is important. We recently commissioned a beautiful shower tile mural by artist Sara Bright for a project in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood. State of affairs: People aren’t as interested in the idea of “starchitects” anymore. Today, it’s about real people and real budgets. In the past, spaces were often built in service to the vision, not to the user. launlosangeles.com

Aspen Golann’s passion for woodworking was cemented after completing a two-year traditional trade program at Boston’s North Bennet Street School. Today her furnishings, made by hand in her New Hampshire studio, are prized by collectors and will even be on view at Winterthur’s spring show, Transformations, alongside contemporary works. Furthermore, through her teachings at Rhode Island School of Design and founding of The Chairmaker’s Toolbox, Golann is committed to championing equity in the industry. Getting started: I was always a crafty person and eventually decided, I am interested in expressing my artistic instincts. The trade program gave me the technical mastery to tell my story. All are welcome: I started The Chairmaker’s Toolbox to provide educational opportunities for learning traditional, sustainable techniques which have been removed from mainstream furniture production. We’re growing the future of green woodworking (the practice of using unseasoned wood) and seeing a lot of interest in workshops that teach classic methods. Our hope is to create a place for everyone, including historically excluded makers. Good will: Our teachers are volunteers, and our classes are free. We aren’t grant funded, so we’ve relied on educational partners like Winterthur, who have given us teaching space. Roll call: Alumni of the project include Fernanda Barretto, Audi Culver, Katrina Tompkins, Wu Hanyen, Charles Thompson and Chelsea Witt. aspengolann.com, thechairmakerstoolbox.com

TURNING POINT
FRESH OUTLOOK Architectural firm Mattaforma, founded by Lindsey Wikstrom and Jean Suh, is focused on creating a future in which buildings are designed in an ethical and equitable manner—from material choices to planning for deconstruction. Last spring, Wikstrom, who has taught at Columbia and Yale, published Designing the Forest and Other Mass Timber Futures, which explores the history and new possibilities of wood. Going forward: Our firm is only a couple of years old, but we’ve already worked across all scales, from a 400-square-foot bar to a 33-acre Rhode Island community. We want to keep challenging ourselves with diverse projects. Guiding ethos: We take our role in climate change seriously. The way we can make an impact is by lowering buildings’ energy usage, the energy required to make materials, and the energy used during a space’s lifetime. End game: We design with deconstruction in mind, too. In thinking about 100 percent circularity (a means of lessening waste and emissions from demolition), there’s a new sense of planning for the end life of a structure. Broad spectrum: Our portfolio includes neurodivergent classrooms for a high school in Queens; a New Jersey craftsman-style home where the idea of traditional layouts was rethought, and a mountain retreat for artists, writers and musicians in Park City, Utah. mattaforma.com
ALL TOGETHER NOW There’s an adage: find a void and fill it. And Brooks Morrison has done precisely that. While working for Moore & Giles, the Virginia native realized that many boutique textile makers were being overlooked. With her knack for marketing and merchandising, she launched The Design Social Pop-Up in 2019, which allows interior designers to connect with makers behind boutique brands. And despite the pandemic causing her to hit pause, she has turned the gatherings into some of the industry’s most anticipated events. Smart thinking: The old way for small businesses to get their products out there was by going door to door, but that isn’t time efficient. I thought, ‘how can I create a model that supports every brand and every sales strategy?’ By establishing a collective and holding events in relevant, inspiring places, it also became fun. It was that simple. Location, location: In the beginning, I looked at tertiary communities with growing interior design practices that didn’t have immediate access to design centers. We now have a footprint across the country, but I still look for evolving markets. Why it works: This idea isn’t unique, but it used to be done by company reps, not the creatives themselves. For small businesses, personal connections are invaluable. New this year: Along with events in Palm Beach, Denver, East Hampton, Darien, Connecticut, and Charlotte, we’ll be building on educational and mentorship opportunities. Happiest moment: When I hear participants say, ‘You’ve moved the needle for me.’ Sharing their work is a privilege. thedesignsocialpopup.com
Baltimore native Alex Delotch Davis, the new executive director of SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta and Lacoste, France, has carved a dynamic path as a leading arts strategist. Her successes have been many—founding cultural media company Gallerie 88 and producing the Driskell Prize gala during her tenure at the High Museum of Art, both of which celebrate Black creative excellence—but for Delotch Davis, this is just the beginning. Lifelong pursuit: What I love about art in all forms is that you can never know it all. There’s always a new thing to learn about: an artist, technique, style or trend. As soon as you become the expert, something else comes along and you must start all over again. Higher learning: My role at SCAD FASH is to develop programming that will enhance the relationship between Atlanta and the university by presenting modern material culture in a way that is visually captivating and inspiring. The opportunity to bring together the realms that interest me—fashion, art, design—in an organization driven by innovation is a remarkable stroke of fate. I am an alumna of SCAD, myself! NextGen: Motherhood is the driving force in every decision I make. I want to show my daughters what passionate work looks like. Ones to watch: Fashion designer Manish Arora, designer Bradley L. Bowers and artist Awol Erizku. Booklist: Daniel Pink’s A Whole New Mind, which talks about the importance of creative thinking in the future economy. The human ability to imagine what could be and then laying out the mechanics to make it happen is what lies ahead. scadfash.org
DREAM WEAVER Textile designer Esha Ahmed may have honed her passion for design while working for architect Peter Marino, but it was her mother’s wardrobe of saris that first sparked her creative inclinations. Born in Bangladesh, Ahmed moved to the United States with her family as a child, retaining a global outlook that continues to inform her textile studio, Makrosha, today. Natural instinct: I come from a unique upbringing and culture where fabrics are revered. In Bangladesh, bright, warm patterns are a part of daily life. Past perspective: My background is in textile conservation and history, and I’ve loved studying the impact of textiles across the globe. Traditionally, they were the ultimate luxury and I want to bring that back. Well made: I collaborate with hand weavers all over the world. It’s important that I work with mills that compensate and celebrate their craftspeople, and that artisans get a say in what they’re making. Creativity needs to be constantly fostered. Family matters: I’m lucky that I’ve gotten to make this my career, but I’ve also worked hard. It’s important for my daughter to see someone who looks like me in charge and creating opportunities for people. What’s next: Last year, I went to Italy to visit new mills that I hadn’t worked with before and who have the capabilities to reproduce my collection of beautiful antique remnants. I can’t wait to see them come to life in a modern way. makrosha.com

TABLE FOR TWO Walk into Deux Chats in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood and you’ll feel transported to an age-old French brasserie. This sense of place was precisely the goal of Jon Neidich, Chief Executive of Golden Age Hospitality, when it came to the property’s design, one of many in their growing portfolio. “When I start imagining a new space, I always create a picture in my mind of who is having dinner there,” says Neidich. “I ask myself, ‘What are they like? What are their affectations?’” Inside the Art Nouveau-inspired lounge, sumptuous green-upholstered banquettes mingle with intimate bistro tables and chairs, which lend themselves to the sweet Curtain Lamp by artist Analuisa Corrigan. A lovely white linen shade sits atop the handcrafted ceramic base in a matte sage glaze finished with brass hardware. deuxchatsbk.com, goldenagehospitality.com, lovehouseny.com

CORNER BOOTH “I love sitting in cafes in Paris’ 6th where photographs of famous actors who have dined there line the walls,” says Neidich. “It tells so many stories.” The restaurateur’s hope is to replace the black-and-white portraits in his own establishment with those of modern-day artists and creatives who have had a memorable experience at his venue. Rachel Donath’s metal Arte mirror, leaning above the ledge of a coveted corner seat, reflects the dozens of frames that currently hang.

The primary bathroom of a New Jersey farmhouse, designed by Michelle Gage, boasts a black-andwhite penny tile floor which pairs nicely with the glazed jade wall tiles, both from Daltile. The cast iron tub is from Signature Hardware.
BATH + KITCHEN
OUTSIDE THE BOX “We call it ‘The Gentleman’s Farmhouse,’” shares designer Michelle Gage of the circa-1787 New Jersey abode that she restored top-to-bottom alongside general contractor Chadwick Hunter. To bridge the residence’s early American roots with the eclectic mix she envisioned within, Gage looked to black-and-white tiled floors to compose a timeless base. In the kitchen, a checkered blend of honed Bianco Carrara and Nero Marquina marbles were chosen for their luxurious look and feel. “This is a very personal, sacred space for him, so we sourced the best of everything—including the floors,” says the designer. “We wanted each detail to feel very intentional and considered. Plus, there needed to be a graphic element to cut the sweetness of the purple cabinetry.” The surprising hue— a custom Sherwin-Williams blend she describes as “hazy lilac”—was chosen to complement the diffuse sunlight the space

receives throughout the day, and to feel era-appropriate yet bold and dramatic. Shockwaves of color similarly distinguish the client’s primary bathroom (opening spread), where a classic penny mosaic floor with a black subway tile border juxtaposes walls clad in jade tiles arranged in a climbing herringbone pattern that feel a touch unhinged—in the best way possible. Masculine details, including a cast iron soaking tub, mahogany wood vanities and a custom snake-shaped shower door pull lend further intrigue to the period home. “It’s tailored and gentlemanly, yet quirky and fun,” surmises Gage. All in, the design is as vibrant as the merriment it caters to on a regular basis. Shares Gage, “The client manages a band and has many musician friends. He is often cooking up a storm for these jam sessions, or as bands pass through.” michellegage.co; hunterkitchenandbath.com

Gage selected classic elements for the kitchen, including a fluted apronfront sink from Signature Hardware and ceramic scalloped pendants by Regina Andrew. The countertops are Caesarstone’s White Attica.

“Thematically, the idea was to channel a bistro,” shares architect Ryan Salvatore of the playful Connecticut kitchen he conceived alongside designer Graham Veysey. Included in the storage program: A diner-style stainless-steel Eliason pantry door and a wall of cupboards resembling vintage ice boxes. “We wanted to add elements that aren’t so ‘normative kitchen,’ and to use volume in an interesting fashion,” he notes. Hefty Armac Martin hardware was then added to the lower cabinets “to punctuate them in a muscular way.” Grounding the mix is a rosette penny tile floor—a choice as apropos for this charismatic new build as for its antique neighbors down the road. “It’s a traditional home, but a fresh take on traditionalism,” says Salvatore. “The last thing we want is for people to be able to date our projects.” burrsalvatore.com; goodbonesdesign.com

“WE WORK CLOSELY WITH LANDSCAPE AND INTERIOR DESIGNERS TO CREATE HOMES WITH A SENSE OF PLACE AND PERMANENCE—COMBINING BEAUTY, COMFORT AND FUNCTION.”

hen a truly collaborative project comes to completion, the end product is more magnificent than any single contributor could have delivered on their own. Founded in 1984, Smith and Moore Architects has long believed in the power of collaboration—be that with the client or the artisans and craftspeople that they choose to work alongside. “Our relationship with our clients is one of immersive collaboration from the initial introduction through the life of the project,” says Principal and Architect Daniel Kahan. The firm, led by Partners Harold Smith, Jonathan Moore, Peter Papadopoulos and Kahan, states: “A thorough understanding of our clients’ daily lives and their visions for how they want to live is essential to designing successful projects. Through open and continuous dialogue, we make our clients part of the project team.” And when it comes to partners, they approach their relationships and alignments with artisans and craftspeople

as “similarly essential to every project.” Kahan adds: “Employing the highestquality materials and levels of finesse in design can only be successful with a universally focused project team. We pride ourselves in this collaboration and in the final results being uniquely greater than the sum of their individual parts.”
What style is your firm most known for? We have always prided ourselves on being able to apply modern ideas and standards of living to classical traditions and frameworks, yielding timeless designs that suit the distinct lifestyles of our clients. The projects that emerge from this process result in design solutions that range from intensely classical architecture to more modern and contemporary buildings. What are some key influences? Much of the basis for our work comes from the study of both classical architecture and the interpretations of it by our more modern forebears. We strive not to be swayed by today’s current trends, and instead are inspired by the timeless examples of taste and quality that have come before us.

or many acclaimed designers, repeat clients prove themselves an avenue to new places and vernaculars. Just ask Betsy Wentz, who, after building a career in the Northeast, was tasked with designing the interiors of a past client’s dream house in Palm Beach. “We had such a great experience with Tom Kirchhoff, the architect on the project, that he and I teamed up to design a room together for the 2020 Kips Bay Decorator Show House,” Wentz shares. It was the beginning of a beautiful partnership that would keep part of Wentz’s project list settled firmly in the area. Now, Kirchhoff and the team at Betsy Wentz Interior Design have completed several projects together,
and the latter is a Palm Beach go-to. In a place with so many inventive and artistic residents, Wentz’s approach is appreciated. “My projects take on each client’s style, so each is very different and unique,” she explains. “I am most known for my use of color and pattern mixing. My work is sophisticated but infused with color. I also prioritize function and family-friendly environments.” Another element of her process that clients adore is the method of sourcing and level of involvement Wentz offers. “I fully engage in the design process with my clients,” she says. “They have access to a 3,000-square-foot studio, where we select color schemes, fabrics and wallpapers.”
ASK THE EXPERT Name influences and inspirations that inform your work and approach to it. My mom was my biggest teacher and influence on my approach to design. She taught me that you need to listen and involve your clients in the process. Like any relationship, trust is the most important factor. How can clients contribute to a painless design process? Be transparent with your budget and timeline. It’s also important to make prompt selections and to communicate your expectations. What project would you love to take on? I would love to do a modern beach house. It would be so fun to create a family-friendly, warm but really modern space that incorporates ocean views.

A high-rise condominium becomes a loving ode to midcentury modern design, with a touch of Latin flair.
RETRO REVIVAL
Interior Design: Sabrina Maclean, Hino Studio Home Builder: Antonio Torres Betancourt, Navicon Construction
“We were influenced by Gio Ponti floors,” designer Sabrina Maclean says of the entry vestibule, pointing to Artistic Tile’s Sail mosaic from Ceramic Matrix. The doors by Lisar, a nod to Jean Prouvé, are accented by Olivari’s Lama handle. The art installation is by Tauba Auerbach.
D
ecades since its heyday, midcentury modern design still tantalizes and delights. The signature simplicity of line and form remains a touchstone of cool sophistication. Among her diverse portfolio, “It’s the aesthetic I love doing the most,” designer Sabrina Maclean confesses. So, naturally, she was thrilled when two former clients approached her to compose another abode, this time a pied-à-terre inspired by her favorite style with a bit of Latin charm. The retro feel suited the couple’s penchant for colorful contemporary art and the spirit they wanted to conjure for their retreat overlooking the ocean—a debonair place for free-flowing cocktails and conversation. Executing this sensibility would require painstaking precision, so Maclean recruited general contractor Antonio Torres Betancourt to assist in revamping the Bal Harbour residence. “We knew everything had to be perfectly plump, square and level,” he says. “The finishes help create this sense of minimalism.” The transformation begins at the entrance with white-lacquered doors “that are a little bit Jean Prouvé in style,” Maclean points out, noting the portholes and reeded walnut accent that channel the late Italian modernist. She then turned from Europe to the period’s Latin American influence for rich natural materials and organic contours. The designer chose honed Greek marble—laid in thick, largeformat slabs—for the floors, then replaced a solid wall punctuating the entrance with an undulating slatted walnut screen. “It feels like a big sculptural harp against your fingers,” she muses. “There’s this beautiful sense of movement leading you inside.” The walnut structure snakes around the dining room and slips into the main living space, where leather-lined doors open to a shimmering mirrored bar. The dramatic unfolding sets the stage for entertaining; however, the room’s elongated dimensions were ill-suited for intimate gatherings. So Maclean carved out two distinct conversation areas divided by a shapely bouclé daybed with a slim, low profile, offering extra seating without blocking the exchange of refreshments and repartee. “We had to make sure there were areas for both smaller and larger groups, so it’s not overly formal,” she explains.
Throughout the home is an engaging transnational banter among the furnishings. The designer sourced midcentury modern pieces from diverse icons of the era, especially Latin American luminaries. In the living area, two Vladimir Kagan seats mingle with a pair of armchairs by Brazilian designer Jorge Zalszupin. More delightful discoveries are peppered across the home, such as the office’s matching armchair and ottoman by Brazilian modernist pioneer Sergio Rodrigues and floor lamp by French designer Georges Léon Rispal. To corral everything together, Maclean customized area rugs that honor modernist forms, from geometric shapes for the living area to woven Cubist linework in the couple’s bedroom. “The mix of materials and textures brings dimension to the space,” she observes. This tactile richness carries through to the upholstery, which flaunts a variety of supple leather, velvet, bouclé, sheepskin, and tweeds woven with strands of silk. Earthy tones of terra cotta and beige harmonize with hints of blue, “bringing the ocean into the home,” the designer explains. The azure accents also deepen the blue-dominant palette of the clients’ beloved artworks, especially the Leon Berkowitz painting in the dining room and a pool plunge diptych by Vladimir Dubossarsky and Alexander Vinogradov in the living area. Illuminated by integrated lighting, seamless white walls provide a pristine backdrop across the residence but shift in key spaces like the primary bedroom, where the team added floor-to-ceiling fluted walnut paneling. The husband’s office “has the look of timeless 1950s architecture,” Torres Betancourt describes, pointing to the built-ins with an adjoining desk and Murphy bed. And for the powder room, “We wanted to give it the essence of a chapel,” Maclean describes. They reframed the small space by sculpting arched ceilings using Marmorino plaster tinted a warm parchment hue, forming a tabernacle over a minimalist outdoor pedestal sink. Swirling trompe l’oeil marble wallpaper adds to the sense of sanctuary. The room is just one of many in a residence “that is full of character and surprises,” Maclean reflects. “This is the one project where I really identified with every single piece and object we chose.” And as an ode to midcentury modernism, it’s a testament to the style’s chic endurance.

onzalo Fuenmayor’s studio is “a dangerous place for white clothing,” he warns. Charcoal dusts the surfaces, and the artist typically ends the day resembling a chimney sweeper. Fuenmayor resigned to wearing black 20 years ago, when he began using the pigment as a way to counter stereotypes—a decision that launched an accomplished career exploring his drawing skills, imagination and identity through a single shade. It all started when the Colombia native came to the United States in 1998 to attend art schools in New York and Boston, focusing primarily on painting. As one of the few Latinos in the programs, “I perceived that in order to fit in, I had to paint in vibrant color and incorporate Latin American cliches,” he says. “After exploiting myself for others, I decided I didn’t want cultural expectations to dictate my work. So I came into black and white as a way to counteract that.”
The shift from painting to drawing came easily. “I was in love with the touch of my hands directly on the paper instead of a brush,” says the artist, who relocated to Miami in 2007. But what didn’t change was his exploration of identity politics, which played in his mind like scenes from a movie. “While trying to fit in, there’s this performance that happens,” he explains. “In my work, I slowly started referencing these spaces of acting, depicting a stage of sorts.” These concepts are often translated into renderings of surrealist scenarios, such as a Victorian drawing room containing a spiraling waterslide, a chandelier crowned with bananas or a gilded theater stage overtaken by tropical flora. “I want to make the viewer see that something doesn’t quite make sense,” Fuenmayor says. “In a way, it’s evoking that same sense of how it feels to be an outsider.” The baroque settings further underline a connotation of control, such as colonialism. “Under the spectacle of opulence, where did that power come from?” he considers. “It’s an exploitation
of other cultures, which is kept secret in the shadows. That’s what I’m trying to convey.” Drawn from collages the artist assembles using photographs—some he’s taken himself, others sourced from the Internet—these scenes capture real spaces and objects. He then projects the collage onto the paper, traces the image and uses charcoal to create an atmosphere. Fuenmayor’s signature touch is the use of chiaroscuro, a drawing technique used to evoke a sense of volume and accurately portray shadows—a key element of his work. “I’m trying to manipulate how darkness and lightness are perceived,” he explains. “My aim is to make these images feel as if they belong together.” The final piece appears photorealistic and precise, but up close the artist’s fingerprints are apparent, smudge marks dotting the paper. So just how will Fuenmayor’s movie end? For now, the assimilation plot continues in black and white. “There’s always this struggle of trying to belong,” the artist says. “And I believe that struggle is shared among so many of us.”
From his studio in Little Haiti, artist Gonzalo Fuenmayor (opposite) draws large-scale abstract scenarios rendered in charcoal on paper. “I use black and white as a way of expression,” he explains. Known for his deep shadow work, the Colombia native often depicts settings with unexpected elements, a concept that speaks to “the pressure of performing in order to assimilate,” Fuenmayor says.

E
ven before hiring architect Stephanie Halfen, her clients— a couple with three children— had a distinct understanding of what they desired for their new house. “Our vision was to create a contemporary design that embraces exposed materials, particularly concrete,” the wife describes. “We aimed to infuse the interiors with wood, glass, stone and steel. Equally important was the seamless integration of the landscape.” This abstract image isn’t one they conjured without thoughtful consideration; the wife has an architectural background, and the owners’ request for a modern, industrial structure with a tropical sensibility is a language Stephanie speaks fluently. “The idea was to incorporate a lot of natural elements into the home and create a feeling of strength within a timeless design,” the architect says. She began by using the Golden Beach couple’s preferred material—concrete—in large swaths, devising a two-story residence that plays with depth and angular forms. “People sometimes refer to a contemporary house as a box,” she observes. “But we did the opposite, creating a kind of sculpture with different volumes—pushing some out and some in.” The concrete was cast in place, a process that required a great deal of finesse, explains Ricardo Halfen, the project’s general contractor and Stephanie’s husband. “You have only one chance to do it right,” he points out. A wood-paneled pivot door softens the façade and aluminum louvers filter light through the oversize windows, while bands of white stucco wrap elements like one of the two garages, emphasizing the structure’s contrasting projections. The mix of materials continues inside. Upon entering, one experiences what Stephanie calls “the wow factor”: a soaring foyer with a concrete-and-glass staircase that appears to be floating against a double-height marble wall. At the base of the stairs, she and landscape architect Carolina Monteiro arranged an indoor garden of potted plants nestled in a bed of stones. “Incorporating greenery is a priority, because it improves the living conditions inside and blurs the line between interior and exterior,” Stephanie explains. “Wherever we can find an opportunity
to bring nature in, we take it.” Other verdant moments appear in the breakfast area, where she constructed recessed planters in the floor and installed a lengthy horizontal window among the generous kitchen cabinetry, creating a glass “backsplash” with a view of the lush grounds. “It becomes a green backdrop,” the architect describes. “You can feel the power of nature— and that energy inside the house is important.” From the grand, lofty entrance, a more intimate feeling defines the living spaces. There, Stephanie introduced elegant wood finishes. Grooved paneling, for instance, adds interest to a wall of the living area, then extends to the upstairs hallway, even shrouding doors. It’s not the only finish the architect used lavishly: An ocean-blue honed marble encases the primary bathroom, dominating the walls, flooring and countertops. “It feels like you’re walking into a cave of raw stone,” she muses. “It brings strength to the space.” Just as she advised on the home’s architecture, the wife also played a primary role in the interior design. In particular, she gravitated toward the stylish simplicity of contemporary Italian furnishings and textiles such as leather. Low profiles outfit the living area, allowing for unobstructed views of the outdoors. Save for artwork and small pieces, neutral tones prevail, echoing the earthy palette Stephanie had established through gray marble flooring and natural wood accents. “The idea is that the materials, shapes and colors meld harmoniously with the architecture of the house, giving it a unique personality,” the wife says. Similarly, the grounds’ structured landscaping is intended to complement the commanding residence. Among the lawn surrounding the backyard’s Olympic-size swimming pool, Monteiro strategically placed select plantings that offer the homeowners privacy. “There are fishtail palms to provide cover and create an enclosure,” she notes. “Then we used podocarpus while layering in other species.” To the wife, the inviting serenity and craftsmanship experienced inside and outside is exactly the feeling she envisioned when it came to bringing her concept to life. “I love how the spaces blend and merge with each other,” she describes. “The house turned out to be welcoming, livable, fresh and aesthetically pleasing all at the same time.”

W
ith its inviting glass entry arch and striking silhouette, her neighbor’s cloud-white stucco abode proved an irresistible draw to Heidi Naughton. Every day, as she walked her two dogs, Heidi paused to admire the Cape Dutch-style house. “One of my favorite cities is Amsterdam,” she says. “Looking through my camera roll, I realized most of the photos I’ve taken there are of architectural elements, namely the gables of canal houses— I think that’s what I was responding to.” Eager to rebuild their property in South Florida—where they spend half the year when not in New England—Heidi and her husband, Kevin, reached out to the architect of the home she so admired, Rustem “Rusty” Kupi. He proposed a tour of the house, which happened to be owned by designer Christie Cade. That field trip turned out to be a twofold blessing: “Once I saw how Christie and Rusty communicated, I knew immediately she was the right person to tackle this with,” Heidi recalls. Giving the Naughton abode its own distinct identity was key. Working with his daughter, residential designer Alexandra Kupi, Rusty started with a stucco-and-concrete-tile exterior, similar to that of Cade’s residence. The duo then introduced a series of simplified Flemish gables to distinguish the façade. Later, they added the same steel-framed windows—described by general contractor Richard Mouw as “maximum glass without beefy frames”—to mimic the lightness and transparency Rusty previously achieved. Making these a central part of the design allowed for the creation of graceful elliptical archways and large sheer panes. “We wanted to bring the outdoors in and make the clients feel like they’re in their own little Eden,” Rusty says. The lush vision is furthered by the work of landscape designer Elliott Templeton, whose elegant scheme gives the grounds the feeling of a well-kept secret. Also informing the build was the homeowners’ art collection, which provided a sense of whimsy. “We found a big bronze hippopotamus sculpture that reminded Heidi of a recent trip to Africa,” Cade says. The monumental mammal, placed
primely at the edge of the pool, provides both a lighthearted focal point and a rear terminus for the main axis of the house. “I told Rusty and Elliott that I want to be able to see him all the time,” Heidi adds with a laugh. Organizing the home’s H-shaped layout around a front courtyard and a back pool area brought a tranquil garden-like ambience to the interiors. It also enabled the formation of symmetrical twin galleries to showcase the couple’s venerable artworks—many of which have ties to Maine, where Heidi was raised. Prized pieces from the Pine Tree State were given pride of place: A lobstering scene by Stephen Pace welcomes visitors in the entry, while across the courtyard a blue heron takes flight on a large canvas by Scott Kelley. For the interior palette, Cade responded by integrating atmospheric, saturated hues into her usual airy, fresh mix. “Being from Maine, Heidi loves those dark, moody colors and has a more English sensibility,” the designer says. To illustrate, steely blue paint adds depth and drama to the kitchen and bar cabinetry, while the den is enveloped in a coat of smoky Viridian green, which harmonizes with slipper chairs covered in a classic banana-leaf print. The jadeite hue was inspired by the palette of an abstract painting, scored at a thrift shop, that hangs above the sofa and shares air with a treasured work by Reggie Burrows Hodges. “I love how they play off each other,” Heidi observes of the odd-couple art pairing. While the lofty primary suite provides a calming refuge for the couple, Cade took a more playful approach for the guest quarters. With three grown children, there would be no formal room assignments. Instead, visitors can choose from a trio of art-filled rooms, including one with a collection of bird prints, a hat tip to the home’s surroundings. By the time the team completed the install, the clients had yet to see the project’s late-stage progress. Having just flown down for a blacktie event, they made a pit stop at the new house to drop their bags. “It was just me and Kevin unlocking the door and being blown away,” Heidi recounts. “All the pieces I had seen as individual parts suddenly were orchestrated into this beautiful whole that I get to call my home.”

Great communities like Vero Beach both enchant and inspire the people who call them home. Enter Elizabeth Read Pusser, ASID, and Sherry Cauley—the Founders of Oodles who channeled Vero Beach’s unique style and innovative spirit when they imagined a new way to find the perfect wallpaper. “Exhausted by carting heavy wallpaper books home or paying designers a big fee for a few options, we launched Oodles with a groundbreaking approach.” Read Pusser says. “For five dollars, a client can purchase a wallpaper sample from our oodles (thousands) of options, and after they’ve made their decision, that sample can be used as wrapping paper or anything else their creative minds dream up.” The success of that idea has allowed Oodles to grow to include high-end fabrics, upholstery, draperies and pillows. “And, with Oodles Home, we now deliver outstanding furnishings and design services to our savvy clientele.”
Mission Accomplished “Oodles’ mission is to create a sophisticated, welcoming and innovative environment where top-quality interior designers and vendors have the opportunity to showcase their work and designs, and where clients can purchase affordable home furnishings,” Cauley explains. “We believe this ‘triad’ of the vendor, designer and end user coming together in one place promotes excellent interior design. It is the very essence of Oodles.”
Very Vero Beach “Nestled on the barrier island across from John’s Island, Oodles has a premier location in the Village Shops on A1A,” Read Pusser and Cauley say. “Our favorite local restaurant is Citron. Located just outside our back door, they serve an awesome toasted Gruyère, bacon and tomato sandwich with a side of truffle fries. A dieter’s delight! We also have beautiful clothing, gift and card boutiques, and a wonderful gourmet food shop. The beach, tennis and golf clubs are all nearby as are the Vero Beach Museum of Art and theater and comedy club Riverside Theatre, which are true favorites.” Top Oodles worked with all of their favorite vendors to deliver a primary bedroom brimming with comfort and sophistication.

Locality in Mind With frequent projects in Windsor, John’s Island, The Estuary, Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club and The Moorings, the Seaside Exteriors team is no stranger to Vero Beach and its stylistic leanings. Hence, it extends a unique offering. “The homes in these communities often draw influence from Northeastern architecture, which goes hand-in-hand with Walpole’s typical designs for their structures, being that they were originally founded there,” Vaughn explains. “This makes our standard kits perfect for most Vero Beach clients. Some of the newer homes and remodels are moving toward a more contemporary look as well, which is when our custom models can be a great fit.”

With its oceanside vistas and swaying palms, Vero Beach is a true paradise. But as anyone living along a coast will lament, there is one challenge to such a breathtaking location: the harshness on a home. “Between sporadic weather patterns, salty breezes, insects, a blazing sun and hurricane seasons, it is crucial for Floridians to choose materials carefully,” says Mitch Vaughn, the Owner and CEO of Seaside Exteriors. “We are the exclusive South and Central Florida partner for Walpole Outdoors, through which we offer the solution to rot, insects and decay. The cellular composite material they work with does not deteriorate in our local weather conditions the way wood or oxidized aluminum does. In fact, the salt and sea have no impact on Walpole’s products—our lifetime guarantee and 25-year paint warranty promises it.” To bring this game changer to as many homes as possible, Vaughn and team provide standard and custom kits.
FOR WHATEVER STYLE OF HOME, WE CAN PROVIDE TURNKEY PRODUCTS THAT ARE VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE.”
In The Open Air “With beautiful weather year-round, locals love to be outside,” Vaughn says. “Their enjoyment of outdoor spaces can be enhanced with a rain-resistant, shaded custom poolside pergola, whether it’s over a sitting area or an outdoor kitchen.”
