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

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

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

ONE TO WATCH MICHELLE MELE
Why did you decide to launch your own studio? I’ve always loved collaboration—with clients, architects, contractors, fabricators and artists. After honing my design vision and gaining the expertise to do everything, floor to ceiling, it made sense to start my own practice.
ON VIEW
“KEIKO HARA: THE POETICS OF SPACE, FOUR DECADES OF PAINTINGS AND PRINTS” Opening May 24 at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, “Keiko Hara: The Poetics of Space” presents a survey of work from the artist, whose long history of living, working and teaching in the state is expressed in her abstract paintings and prints. Many of her pieces conjure the landscapes and climate patterns of Eastern Washington. Born in North Korea and raised in Japan, Hara moved to the U.S. over four decades ago. She uses the unique form of Mokuhanga, a Japanese woodblock print technique, to craft evocative compositions grounded in place. “Hara believes we all hold places of personal meaning close to our hearts,” says Ryan Hardesty, the museum’s executive director and exhibition curator. “These bonds to place may center us in the present or tug achingly at us from the past. At the core of her work is an exploration of environment and human consciousness.” museum.wsu.edu

Tell us about your design approach. It begins with the client and their vision. Then I look at things from an architectural point of view: what makes sense with the building and the history of the place. Next, it’s about programming and space planning. Finally, we add in layers of texture, color and form. What is your design philosophy? I aim to make spaces that aren’t just pretty, but also interesting.

For Seattle-based interior designer Michelle Mele, design is a co-creative endeavor. Her multidisciplinary approach integrates old and new, custom-fabricated and off-the-shelf pieces, as well as modern and traditional elements to create layered, dimensional interiors that are refined but never precious. Having worked across the West Coast, including stints with designers Nicole Hollis and Charles de Lisle, Mele has launched her own studio to bring her playful-yet-deliberate sensibility to the Northwest. michellemele.com

CHECK IN MONTAGE BIG SKY
SCENE
DESIGN
In Montana, the landscape is known for being larger than life. The new Montage Big Sky, nestled in the Spanish Peaks Mountain Club, is a modern alpine resort that capitalizes on the rich histories and expressions of its natural surroundings. With a material palette inspired by a strong sense of place, including regional wood, natural stone and blackened metals, BraytonHughes Design Studios crafted a modern luxury resort that still manages to capture the rugged nostalgia of this storied landscape. “We wanted to create a contemporary take on the classic North American National Park lodge,” explains Joel Villalon, executive adviser and principal at BraytonHughes. The firm designed the 139 accommodations, along with the resort’s seven eateries, event spaces and recreational areas. “The materials harken back to iconic elements from the state’s mining, timber, agriculture and ranching histories,” adds Villalon. “We wanted to create a place rooted in Montana’s past.” montagehotels.com/bigsky
TALKING SHOP Located in Portland’s Central Eastside Industrial District, Spartan Shop is a sanctuary of art and design occupying a lofty, light-filled corner of a former 1920s-era auto shop. Showcasing art collections and oneoff design pieces as well as furniture and lighting, founder Currie Person has situated Spartan Shop in the deliciously liminal space between gallery and showroom, where each visit yields a novel experience. spartan-shop.com When did Spartan Shop get its start? I opened the shop in Austin in 2008. My background was in film. I knew nothing about retail—I was winging it. When we opened, our aim was to be a refined general store with an emphasis on the handmade. The founding principles were beauty, utility and longevity. How has Spartan evolved? Since moving to Portland in 2011, I’ve found

natural light to be the greatest luxury, so we were fortunate to find our current space in 2015, which is flooded with daylight. We closed the physical space for 16 months during the pandemic. When we reopened last summer, we transitioned away from smaller goods and reemerged as a gallery and showroom, exhibiting furniture, lighting and art collections. What can visitors expect? We’re reimagining the shape of the space all the time. The collections rotate frequently, so the showroom is modular, shifting throughout the year to accommodate new work. What’s coming up for Spartan? We have a show slated for late spring with artists Paul S. Briggs and Giselle Hicks. We’ve represented both artists for a while, but after forming a friendship at a residency in Montana, they proposed a show together, which we’re honored to host.

VOLUNTEER PARK CONSERVATORY Now celebrating its 110 th year of operation, Volunteer Park Conservatory is an architectural treasure of Seattle. The Victorian-style glass greenhouse was modeled after London’s Crystal Palace and hosts a collection of ferns, bromeliads and cacti alongside a rotating calendar of seasonal flowers. Both the conservatory and the surrounding park were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, sons of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted who designed New York City’s Central Park. This spring, the conservatory launches a preservation campaign for the historical accoutrements adorning its entryway, including a peacock glass lunette window crafted from original wood dating to 1912. Visitors can also take in the conservatory’s orchid collection, which turns 100 this year. volunteerparkconservatory.org

PACIFIC BONSAI MUSEUM One of only two museums in the U.S. dedicated solely to bonsai, the ancient Japanese and Chinese art of cultivating miniature trees, the Pacific Bonsai Museum is a hidden gem of the Northwest. Located just south of Seattle in Federal Way, the museum boasts an assemblage of over 150 bonsai that is among the most botanically diverse in the world, all presented outdoors in artful, gallery-like displays. This spring, the museum hosts “A Gallery of Trees,” an exhibition showcasing 30 iconic bonsai, many from the founding collection. As Communications Director Katherine Wimble Fox reflects, “Our collection exists in the open air: living, breathing, changing.” pacificbonsaimuseum.org

Nestled in the hills above downtown Portland, the Portland Japanese Garden is a tranquil oasis beloved by travelers and locals alike. Considered the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan, the 12-acre park features eight different gardens and an architectural complex designed by noted Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Through July 4, the garden is hosting “Gifts from Japan,” a special exhibition of botanical illustrations of Japanese plants from the turn of the 20 th century to today, including peonies, lilies, wisteria, camellias and irises. Each artwork offers a verdant window into the Japanese and Japanese American experience as it relates to these horticultural exports, many of which are now grown the world over. japanesegarden.org

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

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

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

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

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

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

NATURE IS INSPIRING
NEW TRENDS The industry looks to Las Vegas Market to showcase the latest and greatest, and this summer’s takeaways have one thing to say: design right now is all about organic influences. Three industry luminaries from LVMKT’s Ahead of the Curve panel share their perspectives.

EARTHY TEXTURES
We have seen a shift from glazed and glossy materials to ceramic and earthenware ones. Wood grains with apparent texture, marbles and limestone, indoor plants, stones and other organic features are adding depth and character to spaces that have been more minimalistic up until now. Rather than museum-level polished surfaces, textured plasters that appear perfectly imperfect are proving a current favorite. Sarah Kennedy | CLB Architects Jackson, Wyoming

BIOPHILIC VIEWPOINTS
The use of natural ral materials, like wood, stone or raffia, and spaces that include natural geometries, like fractals and curves, can be highly evocative and satisfy the human need for connecting with our wild world. We are craving that, making biophilic design the mindset of the moment. We take a sum-of-the-parts arts approach, employing the atmosphere created with light, architecture, access to nature and furnishings ishings and accessories that evoke nature in our designs. We’ve been finding a lot of unique piecess that literally mimic nature and others that are more subtle. Whether they exhibit the golden ratio o or the Fibonacci sequence, such designs simply make us feel good and balanced. Currey & Company Neptune Chandelier

ARTFUL GLOW
A big trend we’re noticing this year is demand for organic lamps. Today’s modern lighting takes on sculptural shapes and gravitydefying designs to create a new type of light source—one that is functional and a work of art at the same time. This type of movement-filled design is a beautiful way to bring a lovely glow to a room, imbuing the ambience with not only light, but character. Monica Wilcox | M Wilcox Design, Allen, Texas

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

One particularly au courant look: a head-to-toe periwinkle ensemble that straddles the line between minimalism and maximalism, while remaining “soft and welcoming in the democratic spirit,” notes Piccioli. valentino.com.

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

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

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

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

LEARNING + CREATING AT HOME Understanding each family’s unique outlook is key to how Elster and Marsh tailor design solutions to suit the homeowners. They view this engaging process as “coauthoring a new, better future.” Pursuing hobbies at home has become more important to owners, who look to dedicate space to refine their craft (wood shops, metal shops, pottery kiln rooms and painting studios, to name a few). A few noteworthy requests, Marsh recalls, have been to incorporate unique cooking equipment for preparation of traditional ethnic foods. As expected, it’s been a success. “We have broad experience in fulfilling unusual requests; nothing phases us,” he says.

Architects Mark Elster and Dennis Marsh have a mastery of one trend that never goes
One of the hotter trends for siding materials in more contemporary work is raw wood prepared in a traditional Japanese charring process, called shou sugi ban, Elster explains. “The appearance can be varied by the length of char time and by the wood species. It results in a prosaically beautiful surface.”
out of style: listening. The highly personalized nature of their architectural practice, AOME Architects, results in successful outcomes for homeowners time and time again. “We find that careful, perceptive listening is our most important design secret—our clients who are otherwise unaccustomed to this approach misinterpret our skill as some form of mind-reading!” Elster enthuses. In the realm of renovations, where Elster and Marsh creatively thrive when faced with design challenges, people want greater sources of natural light and more view access. Elster notes that many existing homes often fail to capitalize on the beauty of surrounding landscapes. “With renovations, there is no blank canvas. The work begins with understanding what can be kept and how to prune away all that doesn’t belong,” he says.
“The lifestyles of our owners are where it all begins for us—it is the main influence.”

DESIGN THAT ROCKS “One of our most unique projects was a KISS room. When I first heard this from the client, I was hesitant— what is a ‘kiss’ room? Turned out, the homeowner was a huge fan of the rock band, KISS, and wanted a space dedicated to them. We created a bar, billiards room and movie lounge around the theme, including spaces to accommodate their vast KISS memorabilia, including a signed guitar. The room was black and red, and we recessed an illuminated case lined in red velvet into the wall to house the guitar.”

An intuitive user experience is the highest priority for the principals of the Hi-Tek Group—president Brian Webb, vice president Albert McRae and general manager Aaron Fuhrman. Thus, these smart home technology experts begin every project with the end user top of mind. “A smart system should provide the simplest means of controlling the home,” Webb says. “If a user needs to stop and think about how to perform a task, then we haven’t done our job.” McRae adds, “Our biggest commitment is giving the customer technology they’re comfortable using.” To this end, Hi-Tek Group takes a whole-home approach with a one-stop shop for every technology and electrical need. “Our customers might spend $100K on a kitchen remodel, but they’re going to interact with their smart home technology significantly more,” Fuhrman says.
Having robust Wi-Fi is one of the first priorities to look at when creating a smart and healthy home. Without it, customers and their lives would come to a screeching halt. School, work, business and leisure all rely on a strong connection, otherwise it’s a recipe for disaster. Many homeowners use their outdoor living space to entertain or as a quiet place to work alfresco. Thus, Wi-Fi must run at peak performance in all areas of the home—inside and out.
FINDING YOUR VOICE In the state of Washington, voice control is being driven by one of the largest innovators in the area. “Many of our customers need help gaining voice control over their smart home for the first time, so we have integrated many of the standard voice control options, as well as more custom and secure options, providing ease of control without sacrificing privacy,” Webb says.

If change is the law of life, then James Frank Construction is living its best life. More than six decades of home-building success is a testament to its ability to adapt and thrive amid an ever-changing industry. Today’s environmental challenges, combined with significant shifts in the function of the home present unprecedented obstacles—all of which have been carefully considered by James Frank Construction. “As winters become more unpredictable, homeowners are looking for backup generators,” says Thomas Frank, vice president and third-generation scion of James Frank Construction. With people staying in their homes longer, the Frank team addresses home office/school needs too, like built-in desks, fast network connections and increased power usage. To answer the call for greater natural light, Frank suggests increasing window sizes and adding windows, dormers or skylights to new locations in the home.

Flooring and painting lighten and change a room’s design. Tile and stone greatly enhance a small space. •N ame some top-ranking renovation requests. Outdoor areas: Our outdoor seasons are short in Oregon, so clients want to maximize their time outside. Multislide doors, outdoor decks, kitchens, fireplaces, heaters and TVs are popular.

Creating a memorable environment involves a lot more than aesthetics. It’s about how people experience their daily lives in that space—hence, the initiative that the design-build professionals at Lochwood-Lozier Custom Homes take in getting to know their clients. “It all starts with a lifestyle survey during our discovery and design process,” says lead interior designer, Sarah Smith. The comprehensive survey asks Lochwood-Lozier clients how they live now, how they wish to live and what feelings they want their space to elicit. From there, the designers select a foundational piece like hardwood floors or a stone slab and then use it as inspiration throughout the home. “It’s like a ripple effect, bringing it all together with different colors and materials that flow seamlessly,” Smith shares. In the end, homeowners not only enjoy a beautiful space but one that meets their current needs and future aspirations.

While aesthetic tastes and specific lifestyle needs vary from person to person, Smith has noticed two emerging design trends that revolve around the form and function of the home, and the region’s unique weather patterns. “Homeowners are wanting to update their living spaces with materials that are not only easy to maintain, but are also elegant and comfortable,” Smith says. “Additionally, they want to create bright, cheerful spaces that are an uplifting oasis in the depths of our gloomy Pacific Northwest winters.” To achieve this, Smith often opts for white cabinets and lightcolored quartz countertops in kitchens and baths. “This provides an airy look and feel,” she adds. “And the fact that they are timeless and easy to maintain makes them the perfect choice for homeowners dealing with children, strict budgets and the elements.”

Introducing them to concepts, colors and fantastical designs beyond their imaginations, Miller gives homeowners a reason to celebrate a renewal of the home. He says nothing is off the table. “We might repurpose industrial materials for house parts, hang furniture from the ceiling, mount slides around a winding staircase or hang over-scaled mobiles as light fixtures filled with family jokes and stories,” he shares. His renovation projects are primarily driven by his clients’ desire for privacy, innovation and vitality. Privacy is for those who seek an uninterrupted sanctuary away from the rigors of daily life; innovation is revealed in the form of creative uses of space and elements that can surprise and delight; and vitality is expressed through smart and rich applications of color and materials. “We dream big with our clients to achieve something remarkable,” he says.

• Move out. This might go without saying, but do not live in it. You will be so much more at ease living nearby but not in the work zone. • Rely on your advisors. Remain involved weekly to keep communication clear, but avoid placing judgment on a solution until it is complete. • Escape occasionally. Take long vacations away somewhere you love and keep tabs digitally. • Lead by example. Treat everyone kindly, offering perks along the way to the various makers who come and go. Small measures of hospitality speak volumes to keep everyone energized.

In a Big Sky residence outfitted by designer Thom Filicia, a passage framed by patinated-steel panels and dry-stacked sandstone quarried high in the mountains of northwest Montana leads to an office and two guest rooms. A roughly chiseled Mexican onyx bench provides a place to pause underneath a photograph by Ali Darvish. The custom, brushed-nickel picture light is by Modulightor.
F
or designer Thom Filicia, the perfect Montana winter day is simple. “After skiing on Yellowstone Club’s slopes, you return to your house where there’s a fire going, food cooking, and family and friends in every room,” Filicia relates. “Everyone relaxes in comfortable après-ski clothes, glasses of wine in hand, but they’re ready to have fun because it’s just 4 o’clock.” This is the scene the noted designer brought to life in a ski-in, ski-out vacation home overlooking Big Sky’s iconic Lone Peak. His goal was to create the ideal backdrop, one he describes as an “environment to gather in and feel pampered.” When Filicia joined the project, his client— an active family who splits their time between the East Coast and Big Sky—had already selected a Yellowstone Club homesite and tasked local architect Nate Heller with creating a contemporary residence celebrating the mountain views while evoking the look and feel of a luxurious boutique hotel. Heller and project manager Josey Hasson responded with a design that, from the street, appears to be a single-story home. But when viewed from the ski slopes, its multistory, glass-walled rear façade “looks like a big lantern on the side of the hill,” the architect says. The dwelling offers views at every turn, from the main floor’s open-concept living, dining and cooking space—which, when the sliding glass doors retract, becomes one with a broad terrace and landscape designed by Troy Scherer—to the main bedroom suite, where a cantilevered bathing area hovers above the hillside. Heller crafted a fresh take on the traditional Western palette of weathered woods, rusted metals and chiseled stones, opting to carry cleanlined wood, native sandstone and patinated steel from exterior to interior for a seamless modernist style. Before selecting a single piece of furniture, Filicia’s first objective was to fine-tune the fit and finish of these materials so the interiors would feel warm, textured and inviting. To that end, he and the architect created a wall and ceiling treatment in the open living room and kitchen comprising thin ribs of white oak—each individually placed under the direction of general contractor Chris Lohss—which adds dimension and softens
echoes in the glass-walled rooms. Other vertical surfaces—from kitchen cabinet faces to the living room’s fireplace surround—are defined by steel panels artificially aged to achieve a darkbronze finish. The imperfect patina “is similar to what you would see in the region’s old mining buildings,” Filicia says. “The clients were excited to create something more modern than they’ve ever done before, but it also had to respond to this location. They trusted us to use familiar materials in unconventional ways so that we could achieve a sense of warmth, strength and ruggedness while still feeling modern.” That juxtaposition is enhanced by accents of clean-faced, dry-stacked sandstone, “which really tells the story of where we are,” Filicia notes. The regional material’s range of warm and cool tones inspired the designer to employ fabrics and finishes in a complementary palette of earthy neutrals. There’s color too—rich cabernet and truffle shades on accent pillows, slate-green hues on a sculptural chair—but the kind of après-ski comfort Filicia envisioned demanded that texture be the star. So, the designer wrapped dining chairs in velvet and heavy bouclé, upholstered headboards in suede, and draped the family room’s four-sided custom sectional—which faces a fireplace, bar, crystal foosball table and mountainview terrace—in cozy faux furs. All that softness balances glamorous accents of polished stone and metal: rope-like channels of Carrara marble on the powder room’s walls, book-matched onyx slabs around the family room fireplace, sexy bronze coffee tables in the living room and, above them, custom light fixtures in bronze and brass. “They look like birds flying through the living room, dining room and kitchen,” Filicia says of the latter, which hang at varying heights. “They bring the ceiling down and make the entire space feel more humanscale and approachable.” Which means that as evenings draw near and Lone Peak’s familiar face becomes a silhouette, the après-adventure scene unfolds just as Filicia imagined. “You’re watching the sunset on the mountain, you’re seeing the color and light change, and all of a sudden the stars come out,” the designer says. “What I love about this house is that when you’re in it, you’re coddled, but you’re still part of that outdoor experience.”

Homecoming A design team creates a dwelling for the future while recalling a homeowner’s past. W R I T T E N BY M I N DY PA N T I E L P H O T O G R A P H Y BY K E V I N S C O T T

In the entry of this Fauntleroy residence designed by architects Joe Herrin and Chris Wong, a sapele front door by Quantum Windows & Doors is fitted with a large hammer-formed brass pull fabricated in the Dovetail General Contractors metal shop. The site-cast concrete wall blurs the line between inside and out with twin red cedar benches and a river rock channel enhancing the effect.
T
he Thomas Wolfe novel You Can’t Go Home Again was published in 1940, and since then the title has become a widely accepted adage postulating that it’s impossible to return to a place from your past, as it will have been altered by time and memory. Try telling that to Josiah Johnson and his wife, Chase O’Connor. The couple recently built a residence in the Fauntleroy neighborhood on the same block where Josiah’s grandparents constructed a home in 1954, where his mother grew up, and where he recalls happy childhood memories running along the beach by the ferry terminal and trolling for creatures in tide pools. “I wanted my children to have this place and the beach in their lives,” he says. Although the couple was inspired by Josiah’s grandparents’ midcentury home, they desired a bespoke creation. “We hoped for something unique and specific to us and our property,” says Josiah, who kick-started the process by hiring general contractors Scott Edwards and Ashley Sullivan. “We understood the importance of having the right builder, and they recommended Heliotrope,” he adds. Upon assessing the site with architects Joe Herrin and Chris Wong, the pros and cons of the waterfront locale came into focus. West-facing views to Puget Sound, the Kitsap Peninsula and beyond to the Olympic Mountains landed on the plus side, while street noise on the east and privacy issues with neighboring houses on both sides topped the con list. “The owners were very interested in a warm, minimalist design solution and were drawn to the notion of a jewel box perched over the site,” notes Herrin, who addressed those privacy concerns by placing solid forms on the neighbor-facing edges of the property. “The resulting home is essentially a box sitting on top of two ground-level boxes. The space between the latter is a glass-enclosed living-dining area.” With the needs of an active, growing family at the forefront, interior spaces designed for both living and playing emerged. “The lower level flows out to a yard with a fire pit and spa on the west side of the house, while the main floor opens out
to a terrace garden on one side and a deck on the other,” explains Herrin. Meanwhile, all involved went to great lengths to preserve an elegant Chinese photinia tree at the front of the residence that helps divide the courtyard space from the entry walkway. “There’s a long architectural concrete wall that runs under the tree canopy into the house, and we employed an arduous, multistep process to build it while protecting the tree roots and also making things look seamless and effortless,” says Sullivan. Using the same tree as a centerpiece, landscape designer David Ohashi further developed the courtyard by using green layers to enhance the water feature, concrete wall and a fence designed by the architects. “Framing the outdoor space created a sense of enclosure and strengthened the indooroutdoor relationship,” Ohashi explains. “Together with the plantings these elements create a visual barrier and tranquil audio separation from the surrounding activity while enhancing the utility and aesthetic of the garden room.” Just beyond the tree, the front door opens to reveal a staircase with open treads that allow for glimpses of Puget Sound. Sightings of the Fauntleroy ferry arriving are visible elsewhere as well through sliding glass doors on the main level and picture windows in the upper bedrooms. With the help of Terri Lyn Sloan, a residential design consultant at Inform Interiors, the owners selected furnishings with a contemporary European bent. “The Italian Flexform sofa and bed, and Maruni dining room chairs were a perfect fit for the architecture,” says Sloan. “We stayed in a palette of warm neutrals, and even used some soft pink in the cotton linen upholstery.” Central to everything is the water. The lower level, which includes paddleboard storage, opens directly to the beach—the very one where Josiah made childhood memories and where his daughters have begun to do the same. For him, the possibility of going home again was never in question. “Maybe it’s nostalgia but I don’t mind the sound of revving motorcycles at 5 a.m. as they prepare to leave the ferry,” says Josiah. “And I still love the movement of the boat and the sound of engine.”

The combined living-dining space connects the family to water and mountain views. Dovetail General Contractors crafted the rift-cut white oak veneer panels that define the fireplace. The extra-long Bensen dining room table is surrounded by Maruni chairs, both from Inform Interiors.

Landscape designer David Ohashi softened the space with dwarf mondo grass around the steppingstones. Opposite: The homeowners chose to dedicate most of the main bedroom suite’s square footage to the dressing and bathing spaces, but a large window wall in the sleeping area still makes it feel expansive. An upholstered Flexform bed with storage provides a soft landing area to enjoy the view.

At the rear of the dwelling, a path leads directly from the beach to the house. The hot tub was originally designated as a garden planter but during construction the homeowners switched gears when they realized it would be the perfect spot for a spa.

ortland-area artist Lilith Rockett experienced the “flow state” for the first time during a ceramics class she took in her 20s. “I became immersed in the creative process. That was when I fell in love with clay,” she explains. Rockett continued to work in the medium off and on for years, until a workshop made it official. “I met full-time ceramicists there,” she says. “Before then, I had never considered this as a career path. From that point I committed to creating ceramics.” Working primarily with porcelain, the artist describes her work as minimalist, noting that many pieces possess a luminous quality and a velvety soft feel. While Rockett often retains the porcelain’s natural white color for her tableware and vessels, she also experiments with tints and different firing methods to achieve varied finishes. “There is no end to the possibilities available in porcelain,” she notes. Rockett’s work is sold across the United States, Canada and Japan, and she also accepts commissions. “Chef Matt Lightner bought a few of my pieces when he was living in Portland,” she says. “When he asked if I could make tableware for his New York restaurant, I went all in and created 19 options for him to choose from. To my delight, he ordered 20 of each design.” That first commission opened the door to requests from chefs as far away as Beijing. “It helped launch my career in a new direction. I developed relationships with some of the finest restaurants in the world,” notes Rockett. To continue her creative growth, the artist pursued study opportunities in Asia. “I did a residency in Jingdezhen, where porcelain was first developed,” she says. “For a porcelain artist like myself, this was more of a pilgrimage. The sophisticated and advanced technologies seen in China are exhilarating to witness.” Beyond picking up new techniques, Rockett also pushes herself to explore creating different types of pieces—she is currently crafting light fixtures for a Lightner restaurant opening in McMinnville. “These pieces are a huge technical challenge so I’m learning a lot,” she says. “I’m always in new conversations with the material.” While her career path has long been settled, Rockett’s creative process is still evolving—and that’s what keeps it interesting. “Working with clay can be both frustrating and rewarding,” she says. “Resilience, persistence and a deep fascination with the material make a good potter. I still love it after almost 20 years.”
Artist Lilith Rockett creates pottery in her Portland-area studio (opposite). Among the tools she uses are “bats,” which are discs that attach to the potter’s wheel and allow pieces to be carefully moved (below). The range of Rockett’s colors and finishes can be seen in works such as a blue vase (right) and her pink and white gaiwans (bottom).

mmersed in the concrete, steel and glass of a city, a person can feel disconnected from nature. However, in this family’s Seattle high-rise vacation home, the elements never seem far away. Their dwelling peels open wide toward panoramic views overlooking Puget Sound, and when the early morning fog rolls in, the interiors seem plunged into the clouds. “You feel like you’re floating on top of the water,” says designer Kenna Stout, to whom the family turned to create their ultimate Emerald City retreat. Built in 2008, the space had “a sharp, rectangular atmosphere,” notes the designer, recalling severe finishes like the bright red glass kitchen countertops. Stout aimed to soften hard angles with a more delicate, organic perspective, subtly echoing the surrounding vistas. “We wanted to honor that overall sense of nature enveloping the space, even though it’s in the middle of the city,” she explains of her approach. Collaborating with general contractors (and brothers) David Burr Girvan and Ryan O’Keefe Girvan, Stout replaced an oversized media closet with a sleek walnut built-in unit, which helps establish a lighter footprint in the main living area. Overall, however, the task of mellowing the interior features was less wrecking ball and “more surgical,” notes David, who focused on integrating new materials while preserving features Stout wanted to retain. For example, his team carefully worked to replace the kitchen’s counters and backsplash without marring the original cabinetry. In areas where alterations were unavoidable, his team refinished new additions to match the existing sections. The process of achieving this seamless transformation involved “taking the kitchen down to a certain place and building it back up to look brand new,” says David. Subtlety also guided Stout’s approach to reimagining the great room, where she pivoted the layout’s focus toward the windows. Restrained in her approach to furnishings, the designer selected only a few key pieces to ground these gathering areas without overcrowding them. “We maintained a sense of openness,” explains Stout. “In this case, having less is more.” Contemporary in style, the furniture pieces favor gentle, curved silhouettes counteracting
the home’s inherent angularity, from the living room’s shapely velvet green chaise to the dining area’s waterfall-edge table. Wood surfaces are lightly stained to preserve the natural grains. To cultivate a relaxed ease suitable for family living, all upholstery had to pass Stout’s signature “cheek test.” “When we’re examining the hand of a fabric, we’re always touching it to our faces to see if this is going to be nap-able,” laughs the designer, who composed layers of velvet and chenille throughout the space. She also incorporated textiles with subtle two-tone patterns to emphasize their lush tactility. Color was essential for saturating the interiors with a sense of Seattle’s water and sky. Stout favored hues in “gradients of blues, greens and grays, like the natural surroundings,” she says. These oceanic notes are infused into the newly added finishes, like the kitchen’s backsplash tile, featuring motifs that resemble rippling water. Tucked away from the main living area, the couple’s bedroom “has skyscrapers surrounding it,” notes the designer. So, she selected a custom mural wallpaper depicting gentle waves crashing onto the shore, which helps “to visually bring the water back into focus,” she explains. As far as new decorative details, the most spectacular addition could be the dining room’s light installation. Inspired by fashion designer Coco Chanel’s iconic pearl necklaces, the fixture’s string of globes drape across the ceiling. Installing the piece required great care, as David can attest. “Each part is fragile and very heavy,” he recalls. “We placed pillows underneath it. I had several people there, one holding each sphere.” The result justifies all their efforts, as the light became “this beautiful, sculptural piece of jewelry for the room,” notes Stout. “We love that it takes center stage, suspended in the air.” Like an aerie perched high, the final design is a decisive testament that urban living need not be limited to sleek minimalism. Now the family enjoys being in the bustling heart of the city while still maintaining an intimate connection to the changing environment, watching the sun and ocean wax and wane. “It’s so peaceful all the way up there,” muses Stout. “I just imagine them as having so many wonderful spots to relax and take in the natural world.”
