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.

TALKING SHOP REED SMYTHE & COMPANY
Tell us about your three categories of artisan inventory. Initially our pieces were commissioned to fill a space we saw missing on our own tables. That’s how our antique goblets and wine rinsers came to be. Over time we’ve curated additional favorites, and we always love opportunities to collaborate.
Reed Smythe & Company was always a website with soul. The four-year-old e-commerce brand, co-created by tech entrepreneur Keith Smythe Meacham and her late friend—tastemaker, writer and national treasure Julia Reed—first germinated out of their shared hometown of Greenville, Mississippi. Carrying the torch forward, in November Meacham debuted a physical outpost in her adoptive Nashville with the spirit of Reed behind her. Fronting the company’s fulfillment center in Sylvan Park, the residentialinspired retail boutique boasts scores of unique artisan goods. Below, Meacham tells us what’s in store. reedsmythe.com
Who are a few of your Southeast creative partners? There are so many: woodturner Paul Kaplowitz in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and Doug Callum in Highlands, North Carolina, who creates whimsical candles. Here in Tennessee: coppersmith Larry Stone in Franklin and potter Claire Reishman in Sewanee.
Why brick-and-mortar? Having the traditional shop allows customers to see and touch the wares. It’s also a wonderful place to convene for book signings, new product launches and small gatherings. We want people to feel welcomed, as if they’re in our own home.
Anything new for this summer? We’re stocking new mochaware cachepots, oyster candlesticks by New Orleans artist Ashley Pridmore, plus pretty bronze shell place card holders. Reproduction tole carriage lanterns are on the way.
A LA CARTE From its Art Deco-influenced cypress façade to its Calacatta Tucci marble bars, Atlanta’s Le Bon Nosh channels the life of its Le Cordon Bleu-trained chefowner, Forough Vakili. Los Angeles design firm Commune created a cosseting atmosphere for the neighborhood market and bistro, where doubleheight cotton-velvet draperies recall the breezy saffron fields of Vakili’s childhood in Iran as tealtinted plaster and a tawny Tyler Hayes seascape reference the coast of Brittany, France, where she trained. An enormous Persian rug leads to the food counter featuring Heath Ceramics tiles, Remains Lighting fixtures and a La Cornue range standing proudly at center. Ascend the curving staircase for a final flourish: a mezzanine-level dining room clad in hand-painted de Gournay silk. lebonnosh.com

MEET THE MAKER THOMAS CAMPBELL
SCENE
DESIGN
Hailing from a multi-generational metalworking family going back to 1885, Arkansas native Thomas Campbell came by his craft honestly. After years working manual jobs at his family’s facility and devoting every free hour to his burgeoning artistic interests (even taking a few courses in applied design), Campbell landed a fellowship at North Carolina’s Penland School of Craft, which ultimately brought him to Asheville in 2018. Today, his practice—mostly in blackened steel, some with bold color—is more fine art than functional. Shaped into faceted, tubular volumes via TIG welding, Campbell’s pieces have found collectors across the country, plus gallery representation at Blue Spiral 1 in Asheville, Hodges Taylor in Charlotte and Signature in Atlanta, among others. Here, he shares what motivates him. thomascampbellcraft.com Was creativity an escape for you? At first, learning this craft was a means to get away from the monotony of running industrial equipment and to expand my skill set as a metalworker, but it was also the quickest way to explore all these creative ideas I had. There’s something so tangible about taking raw steel and turning it into art. Do you think metalwork is sometimes misunderstood? Society thinks of steel as a utilitarian material, as in infrastructure. My roots are really important to me, but I realized there’s so much beauty to be found beyond that industrial process. I’m trying to take this trade that has been in my bloodline for generations and push it in a direction my family hasn’t yet taken it. That’s what drives my work. What’s coming up soon? I have an exhibition this month at the Metal Museum in Memphis, which I’ve taken as an opportunity to make a jump in scale—even tripling the size of some pieces. The basis is still there—that faceted, break-line language of my work—but it’s a growth trajectory, an expansion.
OPEN HOUSE
Newly bowed in Nashville’s Houston Station is Prima Signa Gallery, marking one of the most elite fine art photography sources inland from New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Offerings include signed and original works by Los Angeles celebrity and fashion photographer Lorenzo Agius, U.S.-exclusive pieces by Ukrainian duo Dasha and Mari and iconic works by Slim Aarons. A mere two blocks south in WedgwoodHouston, Artistic Tile made its long-awaited debut at the Nashville Design Collective (right) in February, displaying new releases like Martello, a glamorous mix of stone and metal, and Hidden Circles, a line of M.C. Escher-inspired marble mosaics. The outpost also introduces a novel combination showroom-and-satellite slab gallery concept. The latest Circa Lighting locale to debut in the Southeast opens this month in the Birmingham enclave of Homewood. Houston residential designer Rudolph Colby customized the storefront to showcase the brand’s signature Architectural Lighting Lab and chic new releases by Paloma Contreras, Julie Neill and Sean Lavin. Transitioning from a digitally native direct-to-consumer brand to brick-and-mortar studios at a rapid clip, Interior Define made its Charlotte entrée this winter on Camden Road. Perks include an in-person look at virtually infinite configurations of upholstery intermixed with textile swatches, light fixtures and other home accents. A Nashville location is slated to follow this summer.

THREE HANDPICKED HISTORICAL HOTELS DOTTING THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA COASTS HAVE SOULFUL STORIES TO TELL.
SCENE
DESIGN
CHECK IN
ANCHORAGE 1770 Operating out of an edifice older than America itself, Beaufort, South Carolina’s bayfront Anchorage 1770 inn is believed to be the largest and oldest tabby structure still in use today. It was once owned by anti-Recessionist William Elliott III, who hosted the likes of the Marquis de Lafayette within its hallowed halls. A 2015 renovation by Allison Ramsey Architects carefully preserved the 19th-century plasterwork, Adams mantels and series of spacious porches. Antique-laden interiors by Mark Hampton protégé Michelle Prentice lend the backdrop to in-room spa treatments and yoga while the resident chef and sommelier proffer superlative epicurean experiences for guests between fishing excursions, river tours and sunset cruises. anchorage1770.com
Famed as the birthplace of the nation’s first historic preservation society and first historic district, the building known today as 20 South Battery began as a private home in 1843 before quickly becoming a hub of the sociopolitical world. Standing opposite White Point Gardens and framed by swaying palmettos, the grand manse survived the Civil War—it was purchased in 1863 by a Union Army colonel and soon renovated in Gilded Age fashion by architect John Henry Devereux—before parrying the cataclysmic winds of Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Concluded in 2020, an elaborate, 18-month revamp upgraded the five-story boutique property with modern conveniences, curated antiques, crisp linens and Gilchrist & Soames bath amenities across 11 luxurious guest suites. Summer sailing excursions simply sweeten the experience. 20southbattery.com

KEHOE HOUSE Next door to the Davenport House Museum and a stone’s throw from Colonial Park Cemetery is Kehoe House, part of a hospitality group that includes five other historical Savannah gems. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the red brick, Queen Anne Revival residence was built for Irishborn industrialist William Kehoe and his family in 1892—then briefly owned in the 1980s by NFL MVP Joe Namath, who hoped to turn it into a disco. Today, the intimate inn offers guests all the trappings of an old-school experience, complete with a parlor and music room and plentiful culinary perks. Tip: Request a chic to-go picnic to enjoy in one of the Hostess City’s historic squares. kehoehouse.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

T R EN DS IN R E N OVAT IO N | SOUTHEAST “Our only business is garage floor coatings, which allows us to be extremely focused on providing the best quality, service and warranty.”
JEWEL OF THE PROCESS Granite Garage Floors uses a unique combination of industrial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic coatings to create finishes that withstand the abuse a garage floor must handle. But the secret to making it also appear beautiful, Mishkoff says, is the method of application. “We meticulously prepare the concrete floor by grinding it with diamonds to remove previous coatings and stains.” The results are garage floors that are durable, resistant to chemicals, easy to clean and available in many designer colors, like Aspen Greige, Farmhouse Gray or Platinum Metallic.

Alongside the obvious benefits of its system and guarantee against hot-tire pickup, Granite Garage Floors alleviates arguably the worst part of renovation. “We make the entire journey so seamless that the customer could go without realizing we already did the renovation,” Mishkoff says. “We show up on time, clean up thoroughly and leave nothing behind but a flawless floor.”

When it comes to remodeling the garage, two goals are top of mind: organization and durability. At the same time, with the spaces of home being more flexible than ever and the garage often serving as one’s first entrance into the home, it should also be pleasing to the eye. At least, that’s what the team at Granite Garage Floors believes. “Your garage makes up roughly 20 percent of the home’s total square footage, and it actually tends to be the main entryway for you and, often, your visitors too,” says Alan Mishkoff, the company’s founder and president. “While its floors must withstand more than any other—thousands of pounds rolling in and out multiples times a day on hot tires—they should also contribute to a good design. That is why I founded Granite Garage Floors.” With an industrial-strength hybrid composition, the company’s various finish options live up to its tagline: Looks and Lasts Like Granite®.

MUSIC TO DESIGN LOVERS’ EARS Andrew Denny hosts a podcast called Couture & Construction, which he records from a sound booth within the Textures Nashville showroom at the Nashville Design Collective. On each episode, he sits down with local talent to discuss the latest in the luxury design and build industry.
FASHIONABLE FLOORING These are the top emerging trends in flooring, according to Denny: • Earth tones and ranges of driftwoods, light browns and naturals are all making a comeback. Walnut is very on-trend. • In terms of size, wide-plank hardwood and long boards are becoming all the rage in hardwood flooring. • The integration of parquet, such as chevron and herringbone, is also in vogue. Patterns allow our designers to bring some imagination to the design to give people unique, fresh looks.

Sticky summers in the Southeast can put flooring to the test. But with engineered hardwood from Textures Nashville, homeowners can say goodbye to warped solidwood planks that never stood a chance against the humidity. “Our materials are the finest Northern Appalachian hardwoods and our custom materials are created by the finest craftsmen in America,” says founder Andrew Denny. For nearly 20 years, Textures has provided local interior designers, architects and home builders with handcrafted, small-batch flooring that’s completely made to order. “With the floor being the most used surface in a dwelling, we approach every project with an intent to meet at the place where design and need intersect,” Denny says. From installing floors in luxury homes to Nashville hot spots, like Sean Brock’s flagship restaurant Audrey, Textures ensures surfaces will stand the test of time in style.

Textures Nashville One-of-a-Kind, Herringbone Flooring in The Russell Nashville The Russell is a beautiful boutique hotel that has been a staple to the thriving East Nashville community since opening its doors in 2019. What began as a 115-year-old Presbyterian Church ended up as a unique venture that had vendors fighting over who could be a part of the once-ina-lifetime project. Textures had the pleasure of designing a one-of-a-kind herringbone floor that blended tile and wood beautifully together in the lobby of the hotel. The flooring creation orchestrated by owner Andrew Denny and designed with Textures’ “Flooring Is Fashion” philosophy, was received phenomenally by The Russell owners, and thus Textures was signed onto the miraculous remodel. The end result was a work of art that has become one of Nashville’s most sought-after boutique stays. Design & Build by Powell | Photo by Caroline Sharpnack

The stairway of this Atlanta abode highlights the collaboration among residential designer William T. Baker, designer Dana Lynch and general contractor Shaba Derazi, who worked together to imbue its interiors with disciplined rigor. To amplify the light and airy nature of the glass-paneled feature, by Image Design Stairs, Lynch suspended 18 ultraslim Juniper Design pendants at random lengths from the ceiling above.

nfusing a contemporary aesthetic into a traditional home takes skill, vision and a substantial helping of resolve. Fortunately, one Atlanta couple was steadfast in their desire to create a family-friendly residence whose clean lines wouldn’t feel out of place alongside its stately Buckhead neighbors. It all started with the property. Expansive and private, their lot came with an intriguing bonus: sitting plans by residential designer William T. Baker, commissioned by the previous owner, to renovate the home on site. While Baker was tweaking his original plans to better suit the couple and their three children, the wife called on designer Dana Lynch for additional insight. The two women clicked instantly, bonding over a mutual fondness for black—in clothing and decorative accents—as well as their shared passion for streamlined interiors. “She and her husband have exquisite taste,” says the designer. “What they envisioned was something a little quieter, a little more subdued.” With Lynch on board before framing commenced, the project was able to take an even more contemporary turn that integrated many of her firm’s stylistic hallmarks. “I really like things that are simple and speak for themselves,” the designer notes. “I’m all about materiality and texture.” Once demolition began, the team—which included general contractor Shaba Derazi— recognized that what began as a straightforward renovation would ultimately become a downto-the-foundation overhaul. The footprint and floor plan stayed true to Baker’s drawings—with a few additions to boost square footage—while incorporating his trademark varied ceiling heights, strong axial relationships and perfected room proportions. But the project’s evolution inspired him to interpret his clients’ preferences via echoes of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Baker captured those influences in the abode’s graceful arched entryways, mulled windows, flush gables and hard-coat stucco. Indoors, the wife worked closely with Lynch to distill the residential designer’s vision further, opting for caseless openings and foregoing such details as beams, baseboards and moldings. “It’s a very unforgiving style because there’s no room for error,” Baker acknowledges. “But it’s something Shaba excels in, because he understands the precision required to do it.” Lynch agrees. “In a
home this clean-lined, the agony is in getting the details right so that it looks simple,” she explains. “The craftsmanship required is incredible.” Devising the dramatic staircase for the foyer was another challenge that relied on meticulous pre-construction planning and collaboration among Baker, Derazi and Lynch. Says the latter: “When the homeowners said we could go modern, our follow-up was, ‘Can we go all the way?’ ” Fully supported by the clients, the result is a minimalist marvel: a frameless glass balustrade illuminated at night by slender lengths of LED lights that virtually disappear from view. Continuing the interiors’ contemporary mood, Lynch and the wife kept to a restrained material palette: plaster, concrete, wood, mixed metals and stone that they complemented with practical performance fabrics like mohair, bouclé and wool. Linking spaces in terms of color is a through line of Belgian-inspired tones: off-whites, warm grays and taupes—all accented by charcoal or black. The latter has a major moment in the dining room, where dark-tinted plaster, suggested by the wife, spans both walls and ceiling. Describing black as her “happy color,” Lynch leaped at the chance to deliver a dark and moody dining space for her clients, but she was just as committed to their entertaining needs. “We chose two tables that push together,” she reveals. “You can seat 10 people at each if you separate them.” As unconventional choices took flight indoors, the back of the property—shielded from the traditional façades of the street—provided another opportunity to play. Here, Baker’s design for a rectilinear pool house brilliantly answered the husband’s request for a modernist retreat. “It’s an excellent example of how exacting the construction had to be; everything is perfectly level, perfectly aligned,” Baker notes. Positioned on axis with the family room and anchoring one end of the raised pool terrace, it represents a rigorously geometric folly framed by the lot’s mature canopy. Furthermore, fresh plantings of rosemary, American boxwood, Little Lime hydrangea and more by landscape designer William McMullen help knit the building to its site. So, too, does the minimalist structure reflect the design evolution of Baker, an industry veteran who made his name as a classicist. Ultimately, “A house should be a reflection of its owners,” he explains. “These clients are progressive and forward-thinking people, and this house is very much them.”

alk inland from Kiawah Island’s 10-mile-long beach, beyond the windswept dunes, past the quiet ponds and toward the lush fairways of Osprey Point Golf Course, and you’ll enter a landscape of swaying palmettos and sprawling live oaks. Tucked amid that coastal South Carolina canopy is a house whose covered wraparound porches catch breezes while shading its elevated interiors like the brim of a hat. For Greg Olsen—a Charlotte-based Fox Sports broadcaster and former NFL tight end—his wife, Kara, and their three children, the home has proved an ideal out-of-town refuge. Found just far enough from the beach, the secluded location was a boon for the project, which produced resort-like vibes with numerous fresh twists. “It’s not your typical beach house,” Kara notes. “I didn’t want our home to be a misfit on the island, but I did envision something more modern and out of the box.” Taking stock of local construction codes requiring an elevated structure of 9 feet or more, architects Ken Pursley and Craig Dixon drew inspiration from 18th-century French Creole building traditions. “These developed because of the hot, wet climates in Mississippi and Louisiana, necessitating architecture that was raised above the flood plain,” Pursley explains. Borrowing the style’s elevated living quarters and hipped roof extending over wide porches, the architects likewise sought new ways to solve the challenges of a Lowcountry build. And that’s precisely where the regional expertise of general contractors Rob Hutzler and Paul Newman proved invaluable. “Raising your main floor is dramatic because you gain more ceiling volume and dynamic sight lines,” Pursley furthers. “So often with beach houses, you access the second level via a dank understory.” In this case, forethought structural solutions yielded a comparatively brighter result. Adds Dixon: “As the family enters a vestibule at the center of the ground floor, ascending to the main living space, they’re walking toward the light and the view.” A prominent staircase essentially bisects the multistory dwelling, whose retracting glass doors extend the generous living areas outward to the porches, then onward to the pool terrace. The light-harnessing feature is reminiscent of the indoor-outdoor living strategies employed by early modernist architects, and the clean lines used
throughout the residence reinforce those nods— albeit in classic beach-house materials. Selections include bleached French oak floors and white woodpaneled walls and ceilings—plus a few surprising alternatives, like the faceted metal box concealing the living room’s fireplace vent, shimmering tiles above the kitchen range and casement windows to invite salted breezes. Each finish was fine-tuned by designer Louise Leeke, whose decade-long professional relationship with the Olsens allowed her to effortlessly translate their sophisticated style to a fresh environment. “This was our third project together, and we didn’t want to repeat anything we had done before,” reveals the designer, adding: “Nor was this going to be a typical sand-and-shells beach house.” Consider the kitchen, where Leeke specified a scrupulous 10-layer finish for the white oak cabinets. “I know we got it right because you just want to reach out and touch them,” she says. At the bar, she honored Kara’s request for glamorous black accents, choosing a patterned concrete tile and smoked-crystal light fixtures. Ethereal in contrast, the bathrooms are “very clean, very modern,” continues Leeke, but the farmhouse-style sinks, sliding barn doors and rattan pendants bring the look back to the beach. Following Leeke’s lead with finishing touches was Layton Campbell, a designer whose own interpretation of coastal style materialized in considerate selections of contemporary furnishings and textiles. “Kara loves neutrals and tactile textures,” he explains. “Thankfully, on Kiawah, the environment provided so much organic material to work with.” Campbell’s primary challenge was echoing the outdoor connection while evoking a different emotion in each space. In the living room, his composition of rattan-wrapped leather chairs and a U-shaped sectional conveys “a super cozy feel,” he says. But on the adjacent covered porch—for which he designed a 14-foot-long dining table with twin tree-trunk bases—screened seating nooks “feel quite open to the pool and landscape beyond.” The designer also oriented the primary bedroom’s upholstered bed and leather chaise toward the lush grounds tamed by landscape architect Paul Freeman. “With the sheers pulled back, the couple can feel at one with their surroundings,” Campbell notes, summing up the home’s entire raison d’être. For the Olsens, that equates to “not just observing this beautiful place, but truly living in it.”

o much of painting’s history revolves around the pursuit of light, of harnessing its warm clarity using oil and pigments. But it’s the shadows that Chattanooga painter Addie Chapin most loves probing; those moments “when you can’t tell if it’s dawn or dusk, and the light is so dim, things start to appear you wouldn’t otherwise see,” the artist explains. “Those swampy, below-the-surface places are actually full of life.” Chapin’s body of work is permeated by this nocturne aura. Producing everything from twilight-tinged landscapes to glyph-like paintings resembling unearthed artifacts, Chapin’s practice is “about plumbing the depths,” she says. “I spend a lot of time down there with what’s beneath.” Much of the artist’s inspiration stems from a childhood spent in Albany, part of Georgia’s Flint River Basin. Boasting tea-colored
blackwater rivers and wetlands tangled with lotuses, the natural surroundings there “are so beautiful, but haunting in a way,” Chapin explains. Flora proverbially plucked from these landscapes echoes throughout the artist’s work, especially her spectral water lily paintings. Organic hues creep through in a palette of ochres, greens, grays and browns evoking “growth and decomposition,” and reminding us that in Mother Nature’s dimmest corners, “life and death literally coexist,” the artist says. Chapin conjures this primordial quality using acrylics, chalk, oils and graphite, while also incorporating house and spray paint for varying effects: from thick, plaster-like surfaces to watery veils of color. The artist wipes away layers almost as readily as she applies them, slowly obscuring or revealing, but leaving “just enough to suggest,” she says. “I let the viewer imagine the rest.” Though her pieces appear outwardly enigmatic, they teem with reveries of personal experience. “Even my landscape
paintings feel somewhat autobiographical,” confesses Chapin, whose inspiration includes the wilds of Georgia’s Cumberland Island and North Florida’s St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge—places where dense marshes displace foot paths and ancient live oaks cast colossal shadows. Similarly, her mixed-media pieces depicting repetitive crosses, dots and tally marks act as “timestamps, evidence of who and where I was,” she says. Having exhibited her work locally at Revival Home, as well as in Atlanta, Los Angeles and beyond, Chapin can claim elite collectors from coast to coast. Her Chattanooga studio—a downtown retreat decorated with playful oddities like salvaged neon buoys and golden cherubs rescued from a shuttered department store—reflects a bend toward whimsy that could seem at odds with her murky works. But for Chapin, the two concepts are meant to coexist: “For me, it’s not about dark versus light; I want to engage the full spectrum.”

ike many homes from the 1920s, a traditional brick abode in the historic Druid Hills area of Atlanta is replete with architectural charms: a wide front entry, limestone lintels, fanlights capping windows and a gracious porte cochere, among other winsome hallmarks. Abutting Fernbank Forest, the enclave is beloved for its picturesque manses perched atop elegant landscapes—memorialized by cultural touchstones like Driving Miss Daisy—and a lush tree canopy laid out by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted as devotedly as he crafted New York’s Central Park. Adding to that sense of legacy is the dwelling’s original architect, Leila Ross Wilburn, an early-20th-century trailblazer who was among Georgia’s first female architects. Drawn to the lore of the neighborhood, the current owners acquired it with aims of preserving its history while mixing in their own modern style. For interior designer and architect Ili Hidalgo-Nilsson, working on a residence of such pedigree was a windfall of an opportunity. “The house had great bones,” says the architect, whose firm handled all aspects of the renovation, from delicate restoration work to decorative touches. “Working on a classic home that is part of Atlanta’s architectural history and evolution was exciting,” she adds. “Especially as a female architect, it was thrilling to collaborate with Leila Ross Wilburn through time and space.” While a prior renovation a few years before had produced a primary suite addition, new steel windows on the back of the house and a full kitchen overhaul, it laid the groundwork for Hidalgo-Nilsson and her team to finesse things further. Spearheading the revamp was construction director and general contractor Maurie Hullender in collaboration with construction site manager and builder Scott Madsen, who dubbed the house “a treasure map waiting to be explored.” The scope of the duo’s work included preserving the brick archway leading to the primary suite, repairing existing interior doors— still boasting original unlacquered hardware—and rewiring the front entry for gaslit lanterns. Taking her cues from inherited features like large arched windows, high ceilings and intricate moldings, designer Katelyn Rountree made it her

mission to inject the clients’ lively style in ways that would not compete with the old. “They’re a cool couple. Their style is a little bit rock ’n’ roll, but also textural,” reveals Rountree, who leveraged the pair’s cache of travel mementos and contemporary art to create high-contrast focal points throughout the house. “Their collection had a very clear stylistic direction; it was bold, sculptural, not frilly in any sense.” Setting the tone from the entryway, the designers chose not to compete with the original oak door, selecting a muted sage grass cloth for the walls and adding interest via patterned textiles, curved furniture silhouettes and a bentwood sculpture by New York artist Jeremy Holmes. This vignette also hints at surprises to come, such as the sinuous rattan piece over the living room fireplace. True to tradition, “We went a little dressy in this space,” Rountree says, “but it’s still approachable enough to host a fun cocktail hour.” In another vintage throwback, Rountree focused on giving each room an individual mood by using a predominant color for each: There’s muted blush in a guest bathroom, a pop of golden yellow in the living room and slate blue in the kitchen. “The rooms really became capsules unto themselves,” explains Rountree, ever mindful to maintain a cohesive flow among the spaces. Her scheme extended even to graphite grays in the media room and dining room—where patterned tile floors complement the original French doors. Elsewhere in the house, Hidalgo-Nilsson and her team added new thresholds. Steel-and-glass doors complement the existing metal windows, linking the kitchen and family room and leading the way to the pool terrace. “Their backyard was already gorgeous,” says Rountree. “Our updates were just about giving them a true sense of passage, and better connectivity between indoor and outdoor living.” As a specialist in older homes that blend history with modern preferences, Hidalgo-Nilsson believes the clients were a perfect match for the residence for one key reason: They were inherently respectful of its past. “They trusted us to make every decision carefully, to highlight the proportions of the individual rooms and to preserve the home’s sense of history,” the architect explains. Because of this, “the house could live the way Wilburn intended, but also translate perfectly to today.”
For the living room of this Atlanta home, interior designer and architect Ili Hidalgo-Nilsson and her team placed Selamat’s cane Stockholm armchairs and a custom channel-tufted velvet sofa by Cococo Home. The latter’s goldenrod hue gives levity while capturing the owners’ “edgy style,” says designer Katelyn Rountree. Art Deco-inspired Downey Reflector sconces from Circa Lighting allude to the abode’s 1920s origins as a midcentury-inspired ceiling fixture by Stilnovo suspends overhead.
Frequently playing host to lively cocktail hours, the living room features Serena & Lily’s Parisian bar cart beside a dining room door framed by a pair of Jean-Paul Parent prints. Matching ebonized ash table lamps by Rejuvenation converse with the glossy rattan sculpture, Reeve by Palecek, over the original limestone fireplace. Jim Thompson Fabrics’ diamond-patterned Halisi textile covers custom accent pillows.
