The natural investment for long-term rewards

SOME BEDS CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU SLEEP. ONLY ONE CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU LIVE. Your health. Your vitality. The way you embrace each day. In

endless ways, life depends on how well you sleep, and how your bed makes you feel. No other bed can make you feel the way a Vi-Spring bed can. A Vi-Spring bed is entirely handcrafted from luxurious certified natural materials, without chemicals, polyesters or foam that can be harmful to you. This and so much more makes a Vi-Spring bed the most perfectly supportive, and most sumptuously comfortable bed in the world. When you sleep in a bed built with such care and attention, you sleep more deeply, rest more fully and wake more refreshed. If you have never slept like that before, it can be a life-changing experience. If that was not enough a Vi-Spring bed is guaranteed for life. It is no wonder Vi-Spring is the number one selling luxury bed in the world. Call or email today to see how inexpensive a Life-Changing sleep can be.

green shoots.

We’re kicking off this spring in pursuit of optimism, creativity and new inspirations.

Fortunately, we’ve come across much of it this year, starting in January at Maison & Objet in Paris, where green hues seemed to dominate furniture and accessories, and continuing with an upbeat mood at design markets in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York.

The evening before I wrote this letter, we hosted dinner with a group of designer friends at San Francisco’s stylish Twenty Five Lusk. During dessert, Ted Boerner posed a thought-provoking question: “Do you know your life’s purpose?” Consider that for a moment while I share my response: “I’m not exactly sure and don’t mind being ambiguous about it.” Perhaps that’s because I consider uncertainty and curiosity to be welcome mats at the door of creativity and reinvention, an environment where ideas take shape and green shoots sprout up. All of us here, however, are quite assured when it comes to our passion for this magazine, and to serving our readers and the design community.

Let me share an exciting project that will be in full bloom this November⎯ Maison de Luxe, our first national designer show house at Historic Greystone Estate in Beverly Hills, taking place in partnership with the City of Beverly Hills and the Friends of Greystone. We are delighted to have 25 of the nation’s top interior designers reimagine this exceptional estate. It is also our privilege to have Holly Hunt serve as honorary chair. Stay tuned…

IN BLOOM With Barry Dixon, Randall Whitehead and Susan Inglis at our panel for Design San Francisco; with Roger Thomas and Donghia President Crans Baldwin at Rubelli; with Nobilis President USA Jannice Reynolds at Maison & Objet.

DESIGN Just months after the one-year anniversary of his death, the fashion world—and, indeed, the world at large—is still reeling from the sudden loss of designer Alexander McQueen. His penchant for complex storytelling and over-the-top presentations challenged fashion conventions, and his absence reverberates strongly in the industry today. This spring, The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art will honor his legacy as artist and auteur in Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. On view from May 4 through July 31, the 100-piece retrospective will explore the Briton’s body of work, ranging from his 1992 postgraduate collection to his final posthumous runway show in 2010. Themed galleries such as “The Savage Mind” and “Romantic Gothic” will take viewers deeper into the mind of this dark genius. metmuseum.org; 212.535.7710

PRODUCT IN PIECES We’ve long been fans of the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that go into the mosaics by Sicis the Art Mosaic Factory. Now, the Italian brand has teamed up with fashion icon Christian Lacroix for a line of home furnishings.

The designer (who partnered with Sicis independently of his own company) drew inspiration from his hometown of Arles, France, known as a treasure trove of Roman tiles and antiques, while focusing on maintaining clean lines and comfort. The result is a decidedly Old-World-New-World hybrid; look for it this June. sicis.com

DESIGN The allure of Miami Beach remains strong for international hotel brands, as yet another luxury project just opened on famed Collins Avenue: Dream South Beach. Vikram Chatwal Hotels, owners of upscale properties crisscrossing the globe, scooped up two Art Deco icons, the Tudor Hotel and the Palmer House, and merged them into a Moroccanmeets-1970s fantasyland. Designer Michael Czysz of Architropolis, a Portland firm known for its work with W Hotels, created a sexy, serene ambience with a cool color palette, mood lighting and sleek custom furniture. Highlights include the Chopra Center & Spa, the rooftop pool/lounge space Groovedeck and The Tudor restaurant by chefrestaurateur Geoffrey Zakarian. dreamsouthbeach.com; 888.376.7623

ART MIX MASTER Reconsider your concept of color: That’s both the request and goal of Carlos Cruz-Diez. This FrancoVenezuelan artist views color not as a static property but as an active process of the eye, and his exploration of color has been the driving force of his five-decade career. The first large-scale retrospective of his work, Carlos Cruz-Diez: Color in Space and Time, will be on view at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston through July 4. The show’s 150 works span from the 1940s to present day and include a dizzying array of media, from paintings (such as Chromatic induction 53, right), silk-screen prints and videos to room-size environments, architectural models and even a recreation of the artist’s studio. Elements of engineering, color theory, kinetics and craft all play a role in his interactive art, which often involves impressive production as well. mfah.org; 713.639.7300

BOOK BON VOYAGE If you just can’t squeeze in a jaunt to France this summer, reading Kathryn Ireland’s new book might be the next best thing. In Summers in France (Gibbs Smith, $35), readers tag along as the Santa Monica-based designer and her family enjoy a visit to their home in the French countryside. First, Ireland sets the scene, evoking the quaint charm of the medieval town of Montauban via snapshots, sketches and journaling.

Then, the consummate hostess takes you inside their renovated farmhouse and her signature bohemian-chic style, sharing before-and-after photographs, guest room must-haves, marketplace shopping lists and recipes—overall, a formula for effortless entertaining that you can apply right at home. kathrynireland.com

Reimagining classic forms in a modern context is the forté of designer Maloos Anvarian, of DWM|Maloos, who credits her mash-up aesthetic to a multicultural childhood, which includes stints in Azerbaijan, Iran and France. Now in San Francisco, she draws from an equally wide range of influences (from John Galliano to Dorothy Draper to Philippe Starck) in creating her past-meets-present furnishings. A case in point: In her Mod-Louis Settee (left), Anvarian takes an antique Louis XVI-style chair and substitutes Plexiglas for the conventional upholstered surfaces. dwm-maloos.com; 415.864.3857

MAD FOR MOD Palm Springs recently played host to the sixth annual Modernism Week, honoring the clean lines and whimsical elegance of design, architecture and culture in the 1950s and 1960s. During the 10day event, guests were privy to architectural tours of the area’s mid-century modern sites, as well as films, lectures, an architecture symposium and Mad Men-worthy parties in private homes. The center of all the action was the Riviera Resort & Spa, a historic landmark known for its intriguing wheel-shaped design and celebrity clientele (including Elvis, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin). A recent multimillion-dollar renovation polished up this mod gem while giving it a fresh 21st-century spin.

BALDWIN HARDWARE IS THE AMERICAN DREAM COME TRUE—AT LEAST, IT IS FOR SEVERIN FAYERMAN, A WWII SURVIVOR AND REFUGEE WHO ESTABLISHED THE COMPANY IN 1946. IT HAS SINCE SET THE BAR FOR STYLE, QUALITY AND DURABILITY, WITH SEVERAL OF ITS LINES STILL BEING MADE IN ITS READING, PENNSYLVANIA, FACTORY, WHERE THE PRIDE IN THE AIR IS PALPABLE, SAYS SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER MARY NICHOLS.

There’s a tremendous amount of pride in the craftsmanship and quality of the product line. You can sense it throughout the entire facility.

The average tenure of our labor force in

Reading is probably 30 years, where sons and fathers work side by side.

When we are the ones bringing a concept from cradle to grave—in the fact that we have the designers here and the engineers in the factory— it brings the whole story together. It’s important that we control from concept all the way through to when the consumer gets it on their door.

The amount of man-hours that go into the Archetypes line, for example, is astronomical as opposed to a fully automated factory. It’s anywhere from 15 to 20 artisans physically working on the product after concept, so every order has 15 to 20 people touching it along the way.

Baldwin is an investment. We’re not the cheapest hardware brand, nor will we ever be. We want to make sure that people’s expectations are exceeded when they choose to invest in us.

Left: In Baldwin Hardware’s Reading, Pennsylvania, factory, upward of 20 artisans lay their hands on each product, from hand-polishing to hand-plating, such as in the Couture Collection (shown here). baldwinhardware.com

HEADQUARTERED IN BAY SHORE, NEW YORK, TEXTILE COMPANY DURALEE HAS GROWN LEAPS AND BOUNDS SINCE ITS START IN 1952, ADDING SEVERAL LINES AND A FURNITURE DIVISION TO ITS OFFERINGS. BUT, ACCORDING TO SENIOR STYLIST LAUREN PELUSIO OF THE DURALEE FABRICS DESIGN STUDIO, SOME THINGS HAVEN’T CHANGED, INCLUDING ITS FAMILYRUN STATUS AND ITS SUPPORT OF U.S. MILLS FOR SELECT COLLECTIONS.

As a hands-on, family-operated business, we can be nimble to trends and change directions as we see fit. We don’t have to answer to a

plan that is developed years ahead and can react when necessary.

We buy a lot from domestic mills. We always go to them first. It’s a long-term partnership with the mill, and they can get us products faster than other countries.

In our company, you can be a customer with a small problem or a big one, and your issue might wind up on the president’s desk. We are in touch with our consumers at the very highest level. We can make changes at the drop of a dime if we deem them necessary.

What most interior designers are interested in are things that they don’t find everywhere else. So that’s the true key to the craftsmanship: where the mills are constantly coming up with new things that we have not seen before.

Right: Duralee’s Wainwright Collection (patterns from its Azalea/Cranberry color book are shown here) is fully made in the United States and partially contains post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content. duralee.com

DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT STYLES—EACH RELEASE THEIR SEVENTH BOOK AND TAKE A DIY APPROACH IN REFLECTING ON PAST PROJECTS.

Kelly Hoppen Interiors: Inspiration and Design Solutions for Stylish, Comfortable Interiors (Rizzoli), $39.95

KELLY HOPPEN Kelly Hoppen Interiors

Hoppen often uses floating shelves to artfully display vignettes of frames and collected objects, all varied in form but united by their common color scheme.

The Kelly Hoppen by Welton home fragrance line was created with perfumer John-Paul Welton.

Fragrance IV, from about $53; kellyhoppenretail.com

HOW IS THIS BOOK A DEPARTURE FROM YOUR OTHER SIX? It’s the way I approached the subject: standing very much out of the box and looking in.

WHAT WAS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE PUTTING THIS BOOK TOGETHER? The book was a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work. From styling all of the shoots around the world, working on page layouts, selecting images, etc.—I have been thoroughly immersed in every part of the process.

YOU’RE KNOWN FOR WORKING WITHIN A NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTE. WHAT’S THE KEY TO CREATING A ROOM WITH IMPACT WHILE USING NEUTRALS? You highlight and emphasize using texture.

I am not against the use of color and use color frequently; it’s just that color is used to accent rather than as the palette.

YOU WROTE ABOUT CREATING DISPLAYS OF OBJECTS. WHERE ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE OFFBEAT PLACES TO SHOP FOR THEM? I love finding items whilst I travel, coming across a small shop that may not look like much from the outside but, upon entering, is a treasure trove. Never judge a shop by its exterior.

This living-dining-cooking venue is emblematic of Hoppen’s skill in space planning, as the room is segmented into three functional zones while maintaining a sense of flow and cohesiveness. The monochromatic color palette is another Hoppen trademark, drawing interest from contrasting forms and textures.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THE AVERAGE PERSON MAKES IN DECORATING? Poor space planning, resulting in too much or too little in a room. Always remember to plan, plan, plan—and then plan a little more if you want everything to be perfect.

“There are no rules. And if they did exist, they should be broken or at least put to a very tough test.”

—Charlotte Moss

Charlotte Moss Decorates: The Art of Creating Elegant and Inspired Rooms (Rizzoli), $50

CHARLOTTE MOSS Charlotte Moss New York

T H I S I S YO U R S E V E N T H B O O K . H O W IS IT DIFFERENT FROM THE REST? In so many ways, they’re all very similar because they all speak to a philosophy of trusting your instincts about decorating. I want it to be a kick in the pants to compel readers to go do something they’ve never done before but always wanted to.

Moss designed this bangle as part of her Wanderlust Collection for Halcyon Days. Marrakech, $700; halcyondaysonline.com

In typical Moss fashion, all of the rooms in the book—which were created for past showhouses—start with collages full of the designer’s far-flung influences.

YOU WROTE ABOUT WOMEN OF STYLE FROM THE PAST WHO INSPIRE YOU. ARE THERE WOMEN OF TODAY WHO DO THE SAME? There are a lot of people in my business who are doing exciting things. I love Alessandra Branca’s work because it’s bold and beautiful and fresh. And Mary McDonald, her work is very colorful and alive.

YOU WROTE THAT YOU’RE A COLLECTOR. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR COLLECTIONS? Oh my god, I have too many. My most significant collections are my paintings of interiors, my 18th- and 19th-century garden plans and my bronze perfume burners. And I think I have now reached the age where I have to stop.

WHERE ARE SOME UNLIKELY PLACES WHERE YOU DISCOVER GREAT FINDS? If you’re a hunter, there’s no place that’s unlikely because you shop everywhere. I don’t care if it’s all those shows out in the Hamptons or whether I’m in a little stall in the Paris Flea Market—you just find things.

For this great hall, Moss drew inspiration from the English country house West Wycombe Park, whose golden-hued façade is echoed in the ochre walls. The focal point of this comfortable gathering place is a central table stocked with books and curiosities that encourage guests to linger.

IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR SOUTHERN HERITAGE SURFACE IN YOUR DESIGN? It’s not so much in the physical; it’s in the ease and hospitality that rooms express. If a room just feels rich, who gives a damn?

What are you going to do to make it inviting?

And that is the ability—which is a sixth sense, in my belief—to really make a room welcoming. And I think you can do that if you live like that. And I think Southerners live like that.

“I am a big fan of The Rug Company, and I like everything about this carpet: from the beautiful images of hummingbirds in various stages of flight to the fine and detailed execution. It seems a tad menacing but in an amusing way. The rug is truly a remarkable piece.

I’d love to use it for one of my fast-moving, multi-tasking clients. I think it’s a clever reference to our overachieving lifestyles.”

This vase would be perfect on a fabulous tabletop or in bookshelves as a pair to add some glamour. It would be gorgeous mixed in with other white ceramic and gold objects as well.”

A contemporary pattern with platinum embellishments—rendered by hand—takes center-stage in this Limoges porcelain salad plate from Bernardaud. The company’s head creative designer, Catherine Bergen, fashioned this botanical image in effervescent hues of red, purple, pink and orange (shown here), offering a vibrant dose of color to any tablescape.

“For those not lucky enough as myself to enjoy the glories of California’s golden poppy in person, here is the next best thing, surrounded as if by the settling flakes of a snow globe. I tend to choose my plates in white or a simple variation on that theme and allow the food to do the color work. This plate is a jolly place to start a meal; it almost seems a shame to put food on it.”

French designer Philippe Delzers created this elegant cabinet as part of The Appartements Privés for Élitis. Delzers envisioned a modern collection with an ethnic twist, referencing long voyages and African legends. The cabinet’s bronze-sculpted handles with glass cabochons appear like jeweled bracelets against a scratched-wood exterior powdered with gold.

“This cabinet reminds me of the great pieces by Eugene Printz from the 1920s and ’30s. I love the leg and handle detail as well as the overall finish. It looks like a very rich piece. A pair of these in a big entry with beautiful ceramics or sculptures on top would look great. Similarly, a pair in a living room flanking the fireplace would be dramatic and wonderful.”

Art of Zen: To foster a peaceful environment for Eau Spa by Cornelia at The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach, DSBoca of Boca Raton designed a serene setting of falling water and tropical plantings that are resistant to the wind and salt spray from the nearby ocean. Multiple Personalities: Since the space not only functions as a relaxing meditation area but also as a garden for social gatherings, a shallow pool can be drained for more entertaining room, and LEDs can be color modified to reflect the desired mood. A sculpture by Edge of Architecture’s Malcolm Berg complements the garden’s contemporary lean, and inlaid river-washed pebbles create a tactile experience as they line the walking surfaces. dsboca.com

L AND DESIGN SOUTH , WEST PALM BEACH Quilted Landscape: “Most of this project (Eastpointe II Condominium on Singer Island) is constructed on top of a parking structure that was in need of waterproofing.

We created multiple outdoor rooms including a pool, spa, croquet/bocce lawn, a hammock grove and formal garden. Each space was scaled to be intimate yet interconnected while providing a crisp, modern update to the 30year-old building. We developed a patchwork effect (left) and created a nautilus pattern in the formal garden.”

Up Next: “We are actively working with exclusive club communities within our region on renovations of their pool and spa facilities, a continuing care retirement community in Boca Raton and several largescale, master-planned residential communities.”

Biggest Challenge: “The microclimates that were created due to the tunneling effect of the wind coming off the ocean and over the dune. We worked with the condominium, the contractor and our growers to identify materials that were native and tolerant to these conditions.”

Green Focus: “We offer planning, landscape architecture, environmental, transportation and graphic design services.

We have multiple staff members who are LEED AP and are founding members of the Palm Beach Branch of USGBC South Florida Chapter.” landdesignsouth.com

Elements of Design: Using plant material that conveys a Far Eastern aesthetic but thrives in Florida’s tropical climate, Blakely and Associates in Lake Park devised a lush landscape with water features and teak and ipe decking for a North Palm Beach residence (above). The coping and walking surfaces incorporate the 50 tons of granite boulders and irregular-shaped black granite the firm imported. Luminary Effects consulted on the lighting design, which includes incandescents, natural candlelight and mercury vapor for moon lighting. Rewarding Revamp: Blakely and Associates first designed the outdoor space in 1985 and oversaw the recent redesign, both times being awarded Best in Category by the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association. blakelyla.com

The distinguished Lars Bolander is shown in his West Palm Beach antiques shop amid an eclectic mix of pieces. Opposite: A vignette of the shop showcases hand-carved wood mushrooms from France on top of a three-drawer buffet table made from reclaimed wood.

reproductions, sometimes antiques. If you like a reproduction, why not?” The foundation of it all is Swedish design, which he studied in Öland, under the wing of Carl Malmsten, one of its originators. Bolander eventually settled in Long Island, where he and his wife, Nadine Kalachnikoff, opened an antiques business that introduced neoclassical Gustavian furniture to the United States. Their shops now flourish in New York and West Palm Beach—their current base—where the unstoppable Bolander is preparing for the autumn launch of his painted furniture line, which reflects Malmsten’s philosophy of incorporating the natural world into design. “That was his legacy,” Bolander says. “He was an extraordinary man.” larsbolander.com; 561.832.2121

SWEDISH REVIVAL

LARS BOLANDER Top Shops: I like Nicholas Haslam’s shop and David Linley in London. There are several shops in Paris on Rue du Bac that are wonderful. I always buy my vests there.

Prized Possession: A painting of my two sons by an English artist, Ian Sidaway. He also painted me inside an Absolut Vodka bottle. It says, “Absolut Lars.”

Design Icons: David Hicks is someone I really admire, for his use of color and for his designs in fabric and carpet.

Self-Indulgence: Food. I love to cook, and my oldest son, Howard Kalachnikoff, is a chef at Gramercy Tavern in New York, so food is in the family. More than we talk about design, we talk about food.

Current Obsession: Spinning. I go three times a week.

Collection: Art and books. Also furniture, but I don’t think I can collect any more because I have too much of it!

Philosophy: Never panic. I’m always easygoing.

often ties the past to the present, drawing upon Persian influences to create large architectural murals and more intimate pieces like her Goddess of Water series. Exploring her fascination with Persian mythology, the Miami coastline and the basic elements of earth, fire, water and air, she gravitates toward the mystery of ancient forms, often using signature Iranian tile colors like turquoise blue as well as iridescent finishes to mimic the Atlantic Ocean and Caspian Sea. “In clay,” says Filsoofi, “these elements work together to create something. And that concept is both poetic and spiritual to me.” rahelehfilsoofi.com; 305.299.9395

RAHELEH FILSOOFI Top Shops: I’ve been spending a lot of time at the Ceramic League of Miami. I also love the bazaar in Tehran.

Design Icons: Frank Lloyd Wright. I admire his complete body of work.

Today, he’s busy managing an inventory of more than 2,000 photos at his eponymous studio in Palm Beach, curating finds ranging from vintage snapshots to works by modern-day icons. “I love coming in every day because I get to work with the social and visual history of the 20th century,” says Luntz. “I can’t think of any other art form that better tells us who we are, where we came from, what we fear, what we love and what we hope for.” holdenluntz.com. 561.805.9550.

Top Shops: I love getting lost in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Inspiration: Travel; Seattle is one of my favorite places to go.

Last summer, I went hiking on Mt. Rainier, and it was still covered with snow in July.

Current Obsessions: Jazz music and great coffee. My favorites are Fonté in Seattle and Intelligentsia in Chicago.

Up Next: We’re working on launching hlphotogallery.com by late spring or summer. Our current site only has about 500 to 600 images, and we have so many more photos that don’t see the light of day; this will make them all accessible.

Affiniti Architects Affiniti Architects calls it imaging—a montage of pictures, representing four or five scenarios. It’s the creative process that the firm uses to create award-winning concepts for customers seeking one-of-a-kind architectural designs. And it evolved, of all things, out of a communication barrier. “When we started working overseas, we’d be in a room where people were speaking several different languages, so we communicated through pictures,” says the team at Affiniti, which has earned more than 350 national and regional awards for its work, which can take the client through a series of feelings, styles, colors and emotions. “We mix and match and build on that.” Such creativity also has helped Affiniti build its reputation, after 27 years, as a leader in luxury residential design. From its offices in Boca Raton, Orlando and the Bahamas, the Affiniti partners have developed projects all over the United States and beyond for custom clientele—including celebrities with rather specific requirements. “We did a house for a golfer that included a gun range, a bowling alley, a garage for about 26 vehicles—and the entire interior was designed around a huge aquarium. We always create something unique. That’s why they hire us.”

Mitchell Kunik, Brian Collins Ron Rickert, Benjamin Schreier 6100 Broken sound Parkway, suite 8 Boca raton, fL 33487 mkunik@affinitiarchitects.com affinitiarchitects.com

“their design ideas brought a fresh approach to the feel we were trying to accomplish.”

561.750.0445

FEATURES: The variety of styles on which Affiniti works keeps its creative team on top of trends and enthused about the next opportunity. In this case, the project called for a European country estate that featured dramatic stone and wood details.

FEATURES: Meticulously detailed cast-stone highlights a residence that emphasizes its outdoor spaces and water views. The end result is a stunning layout that feels more like a vacation resort than a residence.

q a q+a

What are the main determinants in your creative process?

Sometimes it’s instantaneous, or it can be a process. Once a concept is right, it fits all parameters to create a cohesive, comprehensive result.

What are your favorite types of styles to work on and why?

It would be the current one we are designing. Varieties of styles keep us fresh and inspired. A single style is unable to work for all locations, people or budgets.

What qualities do you think a design professional should possess?

Design professionals need to be artistic. Architecture is the combination of art and structure. Knowledge of history and current trends all play a role.

FEATURES: The Affiniti partners believe that detail execution makes all the difference in a custom project. Here, an existing boathouse is incorporated into a design featuring West Indies architecture with exquisite wood details.

SPECIAL ADVE RTISING SECTION

FEATURES: When clients approach their home as a long-term investment—where personal needs outweigh the quick resale—it creates windows to execute original concepts. Here, modern curves and massing provide dramatic views to the Miami skyline beyond.

FEATURES: Affiniti maintains an artistic sensibility that is complemented by technical competency as well as an understanding of past and present architecture. Those gifts are on display in this project that marries Florida Georgian architecture with elegant detail.

automation Domatica After four years on the road as a consultant for IBM’s Global Services division, Rob Crews had seen enough airports and hotels to last a lifetime. He was ready to plant business roots that allowed him to remain on the cutting edge of technology while also playing to his strengths in problem solving and customer service. “Home automation,” Crews says, “was a perfect fit.” He isn’t alone in that assessment. Time and again, satisfied clients have found that the seamless fusion of technology and design provided by Domatica is nothing short of life altering.

“Our goal is to take everything in the home—audio, video, lighting, motorized shading, security—and have it work together in one system,” he says. “One client recently said that she had no idea the quality of her life would improve the way it did. Home automation is very liberating when done right. What we’re really selling is time and convenience.” Domatica takes special pride in its understanding of technology within the spirit of design.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a beautiful residence with technology strewn about. Designers can rely on us as an ally.”

FEATURES: At Domatica, our job description is to make everyone happy. In this residence, we did that by taking an existing installation and completely reworking the room for a new design.

The room’s audio/video, lighting and shading were all controlled.

FEATURES: The challenge in this quaint but stylish kitchen was to give the client the ability to watch television at breakfast while not overpowering the design. Both the designer and client were satisfied with the result.

What makes Domatica different in the home automation industry?

Our advantage lies in our understanding of technology within the spirit of the design.

Our top priority is to ensure the designer’s vision.

What projects have brought you the most satisfaction?

How do you think your clients would characterize you?

Our goal always has been to work on the best projects with the best teams of architects, designers and trades. During these types of efforts, something unique is created.

In a word, dedicated. You can’t fake caring. My clients know that I’m willing to do whatever I can to assure their satisfaction and a successful outcome.

FEATURES: We completely renovated and updated this client’s residence while they were out of town for a few weeks. The client returned to a new apartment in terms of technology; we also added a lighting control system.

SPECIAL ADVE RTISING SECTION

FEATURES: The products we specify and layouts we choose combine to ensure the designer’s vision. Here we had space limitations, but we still installed a 3-D media room and audio equipment for the entire house—all while maintaining a clean look.

FEATURES: This bar area is just one zone in a multiroom audio implementation. Holidays and get-togethers will be much more enjoyable with the client’s favorite music hidden in the background.

There also was a media room installed.

A LWA Y S —

R E P E A T , A LWA Y S — A P A S S I O N A T E O N E . Just ask Jaya Kader Zebede, whose

education reads like a storied trek through the halls of architecture’s elite institutions, including a graduate degree from Harvard. Mentors have included Robert A.M. Stern— she was the project architect on the Miami Beach Library—and the Costa Rican native “gets” the tropical in “tropical modernism” because it’s practically in her DNA, given where she grew up.

It’s no wonder, then, that Kader Zebede, head of Bay Harbor Islands’ KZ Architecture, nailed the task of creating a beautifully serene modernist home that commands its setting in Golden Beach. While the wife celebrates the livable interiors, the husband delights in the fact that the architect seamlessly related the interior and exterior spaces.

MODERN LIVING The flooring throughout the main level of the home is a limestone from Piedras International in Miami.

The dining room table is vintage—its top made of lacquered linen and the base a polished stainless steel. The open floor plan for the main living space is a hallmark of modernism, using pillars to support interior spaces sans walls.

COOL WELCOME The gray limestone on the walkway leading to the entry is a pale complement to the slate-clad façade. The cantilevered overhang covering the entrance portico illustrates architect Jaya Kader Zebede’s fluency with modern principles.

C O N T I N U E D F R O M PAG E 229

“The beautiful surroundings of the house are important to me,” he explains, “but the fact that I can garden is even better; it’s my therapy!”

Designer Deborah Wecselman, of Miami’s Deborah Wecselman Design, came on board to assist Kader Zebede in creating the waterfront haven’s charm and ease. “Our home is very welcoming,” says the wife. “We seem to always have kids coming in and out with wet feet, so the materials were key to preventing their activities from being a stress point.”

STYLE SELECTION

C O N T I N U E D F R O M PAG E 231

Wecselman and the wife have been friends since they were children, and the designer believes the fact that they know each other so well is what made the project come together so perfectly. She also agrees that material selections were paramount. “The feel of the home we were aiming for was very Miesian,” she explains. “Materials were not only important from the standpoint of lifestyle, but because the house is so open that the interiors are visible from nearly every angle.”

Kader Zebede explains that this transparency was intentional: “They wanted spaces that effortlessly flowed from the outside to the inside, so I placed courtyards in the front of the home and the rear, which helped to articulate garden ‘rooms’ perfect for personal downtime or for entertaining family and friends.” Landscape designer Carolina Monteiro, of Miami’s Enea Garden Design, then went to work adding prolific plantings to those spaces,

GEOMETRY CLASS Lush greenery and wood accents help soften the home’s sharp angles. Working with Florida Engineered Glass Corp. in Miami, Kader Zebede implemented pocketing, three-panel sliding doors at crucial points, achieving a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

OPEN LIFESTYLE Designer Deborah Wecselman used tall doors to create focal points in the interiors. In the living room, the stairwell appears to be cantilevered because only one point of connection to the slate wall—at the small landing—exists. The undulating design, finished with polished walnut veneer, glass panels and a stainless steel railing, creates an interesting sculptural form in the open space.

GLASS HOUSE The slate wall and ipe flooring in the front courtyard break up the large expanses of white on the home’s exterior. Gaining as many views as possible was an ardent request from the homeowners, so Kader Zebede lavished the home with ample floor-to-ceiling windows that visually bring the lush plantings, by Miami’s Enea Garden Design, into the interiors.

as well as to other areas surrounding the home, choosing verdant tropical flora that would flourish. “We paid great attention to the microclimate, to where we would create shade elements, and we set out to make the views from the interiors striking,” she says. “From the beginning, we knew we wanted to create vistas from inside the house.”

The colorful series of Moico Yaker oil-oncanvas paintings in the living room playfully echoes the hues in the sculptural art on the low console table. The geometrically layered coffee table, an Andrée Putnam design, holds a mix of the homeowners’ collection of art and books. The rug subtly echoes the gray tones of the limestone floors.

The Intracoastal Waterway, which flows past the home, serves as the perfect backdrop for the lush surroundings and the striking residence, both of which had titanic talent behind them. “Everyone had such great vision, and Javier was so attentive,” says the wife about builder Javier Delgado, of Miramar’s Larqcon Group, who was joined by his project superintendent, Bryce Barker.

HIS AND HERS

Of their efforts, Delgado says, “This is a special house because it has all three elements that are necessary to make it so: good design, good materials and good implementation.”

Builder Tracy Roth, of Miami’s Tracy Construction, who also collaborated on the home, concurs: “The workmanship and the thought process in creating a modernist design of merit is very particular, and not everyone understands it.” Wecselman, who designed the interior architectural elements, says the proportions of the home’s built-in elements make it noteworthy: “I’m so proud of it. It’s the most successful modernist home I’ve done.” The homeowners are equally gratified and soulfully enamored of their waterfront refuge. “Every time we walk in, we can’t believe how beautiful it is,” the husband says, “and, yet, we feel so comfortable here. That’s why this is not just a house, it’s a home.” L

The custom metal mirrors were concepted by Deborah Wecselman Design in Miami, and the floor-mounted faucets are by Lacava, found at AquaLumi Luxury Bathware in Miami.

SLEEP EASE Gilded linen drapery fabric, made of woven wool, linen and viscose from Arabel Fabrics in North Miami, brings a hint of glitter to the master bedroom. The Jose Bedia painting above the bed adds a juicy pop of color to the pale room. The bedside tables are vintage Ralph Lauren, modern counterpoints to the creamy tones of the sofa and custom-upholstered bed. The acrylic table at the foot of the bed is a custom design, as are the ottomans tucked beneath it.

Mbiango, of Miami’s Peters & Mbiango Interiors, style, substance, sophistication and serenity are the forces that intermingle in their work, particularly in this Spanish Mission-inspired residence in Coral Gables. “Our approach to luxury advocates simplicity,” Peters explains. “For instance, we stay away from patterns or mishandled colors that break the calm mood we are determined to achieve.”

The classically chic home by the design duo could easily be dubbed serenity central, though the pops of color and eclecticism they brought to the project make it anything but ho-hum. “This is a prime example of the interiors we like to design,” remarks Mbiango. “We set out to make them appear as if they have evolved over years, not months. This particular client wanted a sophisticated traditional look, which we feel we achieved, but, as always, we added a bit of an edge.”

The designers collaborated with Rafael Portuondo, of Miami-based Portuondo Perotti Architects, to update the home, squaring off interior archways, which were curved; adding cabinetry and wall panels; inserting tongue-and-groove detailing; and cladding the exterior of the home in South Florida keystone. The designers made many a bold move with the furnishings, placing a queenly 18th-century DutchPortuguese mirror on a wall covered in a baroque Bennison fabric in monochromatic swirls of gray in the sitting room, for example. The broad variety of elements they brought to the interiors includes crystal chandeliers, seashore accents, 19th-century ginger jars, contemporary art and antique curiosity cabinets. Though stylistically disparate and not of the same period, these accoutrements commingle to bring a perfect blend of classical restraint to the home. “We don’t do thematic design,” says Peters. “Themes are much too ‘one note’ for our tastes, so we stay away from anything overly contrived.”

Given the fact that Peters is from Haiti and Mbiango is from Belgium, their ability to create globally rich aesthetics is no surprise. To the neutral linens that serve as the mainstay of their fabric choices, they added Indian motifs for color and contrast, which brings interest to the traditional English-style interiors and reinforces a subtle British Colonial vibe. “With each project we approach, we do what is right for the homeowners, reinventing our take on design for each one,” says Mbiango. “We don’t have a formula.” Peters and Mbiango travel the world to gather the personable furnishings they implement.

The Bennison wall fabric in the sitting room is an elegant backdrop for the 18th-century Dutch-Portuguese mirror with its fluted crown from Michael Connors International in New York.

The Rose Tarlow Melrose House sofa from Holly Hunt is covered in a classic stripe, the perfect perch for playing chess on the antique game table with ivory pieces, which the designers purchased in Belgium.

WELCOME HOME The antique sculpture on the pedestal in the entryway is a find that Peters and Mbiango picked up in Belgium.

The English rosewood table from Yale R. Burge Antiques in New York complements a rare Indian ebony chair purchased at Newel in New York. The artwork is by Kito Mbiango in Miami, and the antique, French chandelier is from Cedric DuPont Antiques in West Palm Beach.

DINE IN The designers bought the 19th-century English sideboard in the dining room in Belgium. They paired it with an antique table and Dennis & Leen guest chairs purchased at Jerry Pair in Dania Beach. The chandelier is from Nesle in New York, and the ceramic Chinese ginger jars are from William R. Eubanks Interior Design in Palm Beach.

COLOR POP The James Nares painting— purchased at Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles—with its squiggle of bright red is a counterpoint to the antique furnishings and natural coral in the dining room.

“In Belgium and London, for instance, we’re always looking for intriguing objects, curiosity pieces and vintage furniture,” Peters explains. “In New York and Los Angeles, we’re on the hunt for antique furniture and accessories, as well as modern furniture.”

The outdoor rooms they added to this haven—which they asked Jorge Sanchez, of the Palm Beach firm Sanchez & Maddux, to surround with lushness—act as seamless transitions to the home’s tropical surroundings. He brought in feathery palms; colorful knots of climbing bougainvillea; and textural pavers, which he

SLEEP TIGHT The bed by Gregorius | Pineo holds court in the master bedroom. The designers placed a George Smith sofa purchased from Monica James & Company in Miami at the foot of the bed to add softness and color to the room.

In contrast to the rounded sofa is the angular Ashanti stool that perches on the 19th-century Tabriz rug from Art of the Knot in Miami. The chandelier is from Kentshire in New York.

SWEET ESCAPE A 19th-century English crystal chandelier is a delicate element in the master bathroom.

Blue limestone wainscoting on the walls from Waterworks in Miami adds a textural element, while the Syrian-style table from John Rosselli Antiques & Decorations in New York and the 19th-century Italian stool purchased in London add warmth to the pale space.

edged in soft, sensual green. These exterior spaces are comfortable and welcoming, even while the grandest of them—like the gazebo with stone pillars that flank a roomy bench for lounging—are statuesque.

The makeover of the house and grounds, which took two years to complete, strikes just the right balance for Peters and Mbiango. “As you move through the house, the eye is constantly intrigued and everything flows,” remarks Mbiango.

“We aim for timeless interiors with elegance and edge—spaces that are inviting yet sophisticated and fun.” Peters adds, “The right touch of formality is key in this home, but it is still fun and never fussy.” L LUXE INTERIORS

He hired Miami Beach designers Peter Hawrylewicz and Ken Lieber, as well as associate Nicholas Poole, all of PHDesign in Miami Beach, to turn his domicile daydreams into concrete ideals. “His loft in Tribeca is in a 19th-century commercial building that has wooden floors, concrete columns and infrequent windows,” Hawrylewicz says. “The Apogee is all light and views; it’s wrapped floor to ceiling in glass. If I could liken his New York home to a beaver’s lodge, then, metaphorically speaking, this is an eagle’s aerie.”

The condo, which was under construction when purchased, provided a blank slate for the client’s lofty ideas of an “elegant bunker” defined by highly polished concrete floors and textured granite walls. “The logistics of pouring the concrete were difficult because it’s on the 21st floor,” Hawrylewicz says, adding that they hired Miami Beach architect Dan Robertson, of HR Design Architecture, for technical assistance. “We wanted to pump the concrete up the fire stairs, but, when this proved impossible, we had to hand-mix and hand-pour it in sections.

It worked out well because the joints actually helped us delineate the spaces.”

LEARNING CURVE A lounge—appointed with a curvaceous Vladimir Kagan sofa upholstered in Mokum fabric and a coffee table by Jim Zivic Design in Jefferson, New York, found at J. Batchelor in Dania Beach—transitions the living and dining areas. An egg-shaped sculpture from Holly Hunt and brown chairs from Gratz Industries in Long Island City, New York, purchased from Morlen Sinoway Atelier in Chicago, aid in the organic feel of the space.

WARMING TREND The original kitchen cabinetry’s faux walnut warms the loft-like space. Two steel-framed barstools from Jim Zivic Design reside near the island, which houses a range hood from Abbaka, appliances from Miele and Sub-Zero, and a faucet from Dornbracht. Kreon light ďŹ xtures illuminate the island.

NARROW PASSAGE The front door, made of horizontal-plank walnut by Handcraft Woodworking in Deerfield Beach, opens to a long hallway decorated with contemporary art by Oli G. Johannsson, purchased at Opera Gallery New York.

The highly polished concrete floors, granite walls and stainless steel bench by Chris Howker, from Luminaire Lab in Miami, lend an industrial edge to the space.

C O N T I N U E D F R O M PAG E 250

To soften the space, the granite slab walls were raked to create a suede-like texture, forming a neutral background for the mix of contemporary and retro-style furnishings. “Being a young bachelor, the client wanted a youthful look,” Hawrylewicz says. “He also has an admiration for mid-century antiques, which we addressed with punctuated pieces. We took a natural, organic approach to some of the larger items.”

Thus, a pair of vintage-referencing paddle chairs and matching ottomans designed by Hawrylewicz for the living room are in perfect harmony with the

SKYLINE DINER Brown leather chairs from Donghia surround a dining room table by John Houshmand in New York. The stone centerpiece on the table is by Robert Kuo. Two works, by Chicago photographer Jesse Hickman, provide conversation points, while the sculpture by Christian Burchard adds interest to the console.

OUT ON A LIMB The 12-foot-wide terrace, which wraps around the condo for panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, houses teak-framed armchairs, a brown dining table and woven chairs all by Roda, purchased at Luminaire Lab.

The painting of Charlie Chaplin, by street artist Mr. Brainwash, brings just the right amount of hipness to the scene. “When possible, we used everything in its natural state,” Hawrylewicz says. “The dining room table, for instance, is made of live-edge cherry planks from dying or distressed trees, and the coffee table in the lounge is a piece of polished coal.”

TUNNEL VISION The master bathroom features a faucet from Dornbracht, an original rectangular limestone sink as well as an original glassed-in shower that abuts the terrace to provide a view of the great outdoors.

The chaise is by Roda.

Creating the open floor plan also allowed the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. “We capitalized on the fact that the terrace is 12 feet wide and not the usual 6,” he says. “It’s like an old-fashioned wraparound porch with a wide overhang, so you can sit outside even in the rain.”

Defining the spaces without dividing them visually was one of the greater challenges. The living room and dining room flow together with the help of a lounge area that rests right outside the kitchen. “The space is good for large and small parties,” Hawrylewicz says. “People can have cocktails in the lounge, which has a bar.”

The chair and ottoman by Norell, purchased at Morlen Sinoway Atelier, rest on a rug by Beyond Borders from Holly Hunt. The wood spheres are from Ebano Soberon in Dania Beach.

ABOUT FACE In the master bedroom, David Mach’s collage portrait of Kate Moss is paired with a leather-upholstered bed and nightstands concepted by designer Peter Hawrylewicz. The bed lamps are by Bestlite, and an Eames chair from Design Within Reach sits at a built-in desk made by Handcraft Woodworking.

The dressing area of the master bedroom suite is defined by its walnut wall partitions, built by Handcraft Woodworking, which create a sculptural effect with ladder-like rungs.

The vintage woven-leather chair and ottoman and vintage metal floor lamp complete the naturalistic aesthetic.

The only interior walls frame the bedrooms and bathrooms, which are appointed with walnut millwork repeated in the vestibule and the living room. “The mixture of the walnut paneling and concrete floor and nightstands in the master bedroom is my favorite,” says Jerry Rowland, owner of Deerfield Beach-based Handcraft Construction Management and Handcraft Woodworking, who was responsible for the millwork and concrete elements. “The lines and palette are clean; movement occurs with the furnishings.” The client, who was floored when he saw the finished condo for the first time, loves his two lofts. “He finds the contrast very appealing,” says Hawrylewicz.

D I S L O C A T I O N O F T E N B E G E T S N E W P E R S P E C T I V E S . In 2005,

while having windows on their Miami Beach house updated to hurricane grade, a couple with two sons nearing college age temporarily moved into a condominium. They figured it could be a way to experiment with the downsized, smaller-scale living many empty nesters eventually gravitate toward. But, after a few months, says the wife, “we looked at each other and said, ‘We’re never going to be happy in a condo.’ We decided to build a bigger house we could grow old in, where the kids could come back with their own children and, hopefully, grandchildren.”

Coincidentally, they’d recently purchased a waterside parcel a block from their existing home on one of the exclusive residential islands in Biscayne Bay. And, impressed by another house architect and builder Zeb W. Jarosz, of Z.W. Jarosz Architect and Jarosz Development in Coconut Grove, had erected nearby, they hired him to realize their dream.

“I wanted a house that looked like it had been built at Miami Beach’s inception, when the islands were first dredged from the sea,” recalls the wife. Jarosz drafted a Mediterranean Revival-style villa with thick walls clad in indigenous keystone.

Then the couple retained interior designer Holmes Newman, of Miami’s Holmes Newman & Partners, who collaborated with Jarosz on the interior space planning.

“We’re definitely less-is-more kind of people,” observes the wife. “It was very much our desire—and a Holmes trademark—to deliver an understated, serene environment.”

In the library, interior designer Holmes Newman lowered the ceiling to give it better scale. The walls, lined with custom millwork by Exotic Woodworking in Hollywood, complement an antique desk and wing chairs from Yale R. Burge Antiques in New York. A chandelier from Marvin Alexander in New York adds an elegant touch, while doors from Peetz Windows and Doors in Weston lead to a putting green.

ENTRY LEVEL The scaled-down foyer is nevertheless quite a luxurious affair, featuring a “marble carpet” from Paris Ceramics in New York and a desk designed by Bunny Williams from John Rosselli Antiques & Decorations in New York.

A work by Brazilian-born artist Vik Muniz is reflected in the antique mirror from Sentimento Antiques in New York.

The lamp is from Chameleon Fine Lighting in New York.

GALLERY STROLL An oil-on-canvas by Brooklyn artist Claire Sherman adds dramatic impact to the neoclassical first-floor hallway.

“I don’t like those spaces to be too narrow,” says Newman, who intended it as a gallery for the clients’ growing collection.

He and architect Zeb Jarosz made it almost 8 feet wide and then divided it into sections using arches, each with its own threshold, and custom lanterns from Chameleon Fine Lighting. The flooring is from KeysGranite in Miami.

That desire called for some alterations to the original plan, which stipulated, for instance, a grand, spiral stone staircase in the entry hall. “We moved it to a more

Rather than a traditional buffet, Newman placed commodes

by Dessin Fournir in each of the dining room’s four corners and topped them with Queen Anne-style mirrors by Rose Tarlow Melrose House. The dining chairs, covered in Holly Hunt fabric, are by Dessin Fournir, and the custom dining table is by Rose Tarlow Melrose House. The 19th-century, Georgian crystal chandelier from John Rosselli Antiques & Decorations is dressier than other fixtures in the home, which suits the room’s function as the nexus for more formal entertaining.

discreet area and brought the foyer to a more human scale,” says Newman. He also dropped ceilings in that space and in the library “to make them more intimate.”

A long hallway forming a connective spine for many of the public rooms “was broken up into a rhythm of arches punctuated by lanterns so it didn’t look like a bowling alley,” he explains. And he specified simple, linear crown moldings sans dentils, acanthus carvings or other ornate details. (He also cleverly concealed air-conditioning vents in the moldings to keep everything visually pristine.)

Which is not to say there is an absence of formality. The husband, a history buff passionate about old English libraries, with their wall-to-wall books housed in richly stained millwork, got one of his own. The dining room—where the owners host political functions, charity fundraisers and dinner parties related to the annual creative frenzy of Art Basel—was crowned with a more ornate chandelier (though Newman had all its hurricanes removed) and four commodes paired with Queen Anne mirrors (whose chinoiserie he instructed the manufacturer to tone down). “It’s hardly minimal,” he admits, “but nothing screams at you. It’s not cluttered, and the color palette is easy to live with.” The soothing silveryblue and gray palette extends to the living room, too.

There is also a conspicuous lack of pattern, something that emerged quite organically. “Our object was a place to come home to and take a breath,” says the wife, “and, as we went through colors and fabrics, it just became an understanding.”

Calacatta Oro marble countertops from KeysGranite and Exotic Woodworking’s cabinetry are traditional foils for more modern, industrial-chic pendant lamps from Holly Hunt. The kitchen looks onto the family room through a 10-foot opening, encouraging socialization with family and friends. But pocket doors can close it off when the kitchen’s double islands are abuzz with caterers.

OLD SCHOOL French baked-oak parquet floors from Cavendish Grey in New York, Gregorius | Pineo’s Chinnery side chairs purchased at Kneedler-Fauchère in West Hollywood, California, and a chandelier from John Rosselli Antiques & Decorations impart a more conservative brand of traditionalism in the breakfast room than the modern expression of the style that predominates throughout the house—though, thanks to a contemporary work by Martin Kline, observes Newman, “it’s still cohesive.”

BATHED IN LUXURY The chandelier in the master bath was the only object the owners brought from their previous home. Newman deployed it here as a hint of whimsy in an otherwise soothingly sedate bath characterized by a variety of textures: hempcovered walls by Donghia juxtaposed with polished, subway wall tiles and hexagonal honed-marble floor tiles from Waterworks in Miami. The bathtub is by Michael S. Smith from Kallista.

C O N T I N U E D F R O M PAG E 266

The sense of relaxed luxury is instead expressed in textures: shimmery silks and supple velvets. Perhaps the greatest testament to the home’s sense of timeless, comfortable elegance is the fact that many visitors ask how much renovation was done to achieve the look. But, more than aesthetics, the ultimate goal was functionality.

“Holmes made it his mission to find out how we lived,” says the wife. “He understood this was a house for living, not showcasing; friends and family were the reasons for its existence.” L

SLEEP IN An antique, Japanese paper screen from Midori Gallery in Coconut Grove sates the husband’s taste for traditional art.

It’s the focal point of a room that groups a Dessin Fournir four-poster bed with Madeline Stuart nightstands, Marvin Alexander lamps and a Rose Tarlow Melrose House chaise covered in Holly Hunt fabric. The rug is by Odegard in Miami. Overlooking the pool cabana, the room boasts one of the few window treatments in the house, which ensures privacy and darkness for sleeping.

Trust your kitchen design and fine cabinet selection to the experts who have years of culinary experience in their repertoire, from the food and beverage operations at the Kravis Center & City Place to premier private functions on the Island.

UPWARD BOUND WHILE RESIDENTS OF CHICAGO KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT LESS-THAN-PERFECT WINTER WEATHER, AN APPRECIATION FOR THE GREAT OUTDOORS IS NEVER LACKING, AS EVIDENT IN THIS HIGH-RISE TERRACE.

Designer Jamie Dietrich crafted this home accent for Anthropologie using 19th-century glass and a found piece of coral. Beach Find Bottle, Coral, $598; anthropologie.com

URBAN EATS A quaint dining area comprising pieces from Janus et Cie occupies a corner of the 18th-floor terrace, allowing alfresco diners uninhibited views of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan.

Add a pop of color to a seating area with Ballard Designs’ outdoor-friendly acrylic accent pillow, available in several designs.

SUBTLE SEPARATION Just as interiors are divided into rooms, so, too, should this method be applied to the outdoors. Scott Byron, landscape architect and CEO of Lake Bluff, Illinois-based Scott Byron & Company, designated areas on this terrace for different activities.

“There’s a small lounging space by the barbecue, a larger dining area and a more intimate sitting spot,” he says. “It’s a very large terrace, so we had to find a way to create a sense of intimacy through furniture placement and scale.”

PICTURE SPOT Having a high-rise terrace in a large city is a luxury many choose The 31-inch depth of this reclaimed teak planter allows for strong root growth of plantings in less forgiving environments.

to enjoy. Accordingly, Byron always bases his design concepts for high-rise projects on one thing—the scenery. “Everything you do on a terrace is about the views,” he says. “A successful landscape design is kept very simple. It’s not about adding layers of stuff so much as it is about taking the layers away.” Minimal and unfussy plantings, furniture and accessories work best, as shown in the scene at right, featuring Janus et Cie’s Amalfi II collection, surrounded by crabapple, lilac and boxwood.

WIND POWER Chicagoans know their beloved habitat isn’t dubbed the Windy City without reason. As a landscape architect, Byron must consider these weather extremes. “On higher floors, we have to design a space that would hold up if it were to be hit Thin, elongated legs provide a delicate touch to Janus et Cie’s powder-coated stainless steel sofa from the Amalfi II collection.

with a Category 4 hurricane,” he says. For this project, that meant heavy wrought-iron furniture and deep, sturdy wooden planters that allow the roots of the plantings to penetrate far below the top of the soil.

Deep planters made of ipe, a South American hardwood, are durable enough to survive the winter climate and strong Chicago winds.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING W I T H N E A R - P E RFECT CONDITIONS, IT’S NO WONDER THAT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIANS HAVE QUITE L I T E R A L LY FOU ND A WAY TO BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN THE INDOORS AND OUT.

POOL VIEW The open-air cabana of this Newport Coast, California, estate, featuring a coffee table from Paul Ferrante and chairs from Palecek, connects two wings of the home.

DUAL HOUSE Midwestern artist Ken Rausch created this vivid outdoor painting on a copper “canvas” for Frontgate. Original Copper Outdoor Art, from $199; frontgate.com

It’s not hard to imagine a night spent outdoors when the luxuries of the interiors are present. In the pool house at right, Sheldon Harte, principal of Laguna Beach, California’s Harte Brownlee & Associates, along with Irvine, California’s EBTA Architects, incorporated such elements as radiant floor heating and retractable doors that close to the outside on command. “The structure allows people the luxury of being outside but not exposed to the elements of sun and moisture,” Harte says. “But it can also be used as auxiliary guest space.”

COMFORT ZONE Fortunately for homeowners, no longer does the “outdoor-friendly” label mean you must sacrifice comfort. “Outdoor furnishings have come so far in recent years,” Harte says. “They handle much better, Los Angeles designer Kristen Buckingham’s first line of outdoor furnishings includes this intricate piece, shown in traditional teak.

Laurent Étagère, $19,500; kristenbuckingham.com

and there are so many more options in material and style.” With a plethora of possibilities—from canvas and acrylic fabrics to wood, wicker and steel furnishings to outdoor paintings, sculpture and lighting—transforming the outdoors into an extension of the home is effortless.

WEATHER REPORT Combating the everyday sun and moisture of a coastal Southern California property is best achieved through covered environments with means for temperature control. But, Harte says, that’s not the only weather concern he’s dealt with. “The Santa Ana winds can wreak havoc on exposed furniture and plants, particularly on Inspired by Roman architecture, this chair from Brown Jordan comprises hand-forged aluminum.

the coast.” Securing loose chairs, chaises and planters, or bringing them inside when the winds get strong, is essential to protect pieces from damage.

Dress up the outdoors with original artwork atop copper or all-weather canvas for the complete decorated feeling of an interior living room.

Potted flowers and plants serve as a living accessory to an outdoor room and are best incorporated early on in the design plan.

Every South Florida waterfront home begs for ample outdoor lounging space, and this Tuscan-style structure by interior designer Carola Hinojosa, principal at Miami’s Hinojosa Design Studio, and Miami architect Ramon Pacheco, of Ramon Pacheco & Associates, Architect and Planner, is no exception. “We aimed to create a very relaxed and calm atmosphere,” Hinojosa says. The spacious rear terrace features stone columns, light-walnut travertine flooring and contrasting dark wood beams on the ceiling.

SOCIAL NETWORK Designed to be enjoyed alone or with the owners’ frequent guests, the terrace is equipped with a variety of seating options, including Jeffrey Court’s crushed glass mosaics are perfect for dressing up an accent wall behind a grill or outdoor kitchen.

single chaise lounges by the pool, space for two dining rooms—one more formal and the other casual—and a lounge area. Outdoor kitchen and bar areas allow the hosts the freedom to stay near their guests. “I encourage my clients to enjoy the outdoors as much as they can,” Hinojosa says. “That’s what living in Florida is all about.”

MATERIAL WORLD Though it’s easy to enjoy an outdoor living room, South Floridians must take heed of the furnishings they opt to leave outside.

“Choosing the correct materials is essential for the outdoors in Florida,” Hinojosa says. “Avoid any metals, unless they are powder Sutherland Furniture’s dining table features a teak top with lazy Susan attachment.

coated or protected, due to the risk of oxidation.” The humid climate of South Florida works best with wood, stone and outdoor-friendly fabrics, as evident in Hinojosa’s selections of the teak Sutherland furniture and fabric from Perennials seen here.

WARM THOUGHTS An intimate seating area centers on a stone fire pit outside an Aspen dwelling, which looks out to a Ponderosa pine forest and Aspen Mountain in the distance.

NATURAL GROWTH The uneven terrain of Colorado often brings with it architectural hurdles. In this case, it was an old-growth Ponderosa pine located centrally in the site’s building envelope. “Challenges often represent opportunities for extraordinary design solutions,” says Valerie Alexander Yaw, principal at Aspen’s Bluegreen. “We chose to preserve the tree and design the home around this great specimen.” Staying true to the environment, Yaw repurposed materials from the site and sourced local stone, boulders and wood for the outdoor living spaces.

CREATIVE FORCE Working closely with nature warrants plenty of opportunities to Upholster pillows and cushions in hues evocative of nature, such as those in this turquoise striped fabric from Perennials.

Jake Stripe, Agave, price available upon request; perennialsfabrics.com

be creative. While much of the home and outdoor features are clad in natural materials, Yaw incorporated a series of contrasting stainless-steel poles, some outfitted with light fixtures, to add interest and serve a functional purpose. “I was inspired by the client’s seemingly simple request for a place to hang his robe when relaxing in the spa,” she says. “They were designed to mimic the property’s natural pine forest.”

NEW HEIGHTS While Coloradans enjoy prime outdoor weather in the summer, cold winter temperatures and high altitudes can hinder many types of plant growth. “The area’s plant palette is limited by its high elevation, but Bluegreen has spent over 10 years building Part of Summit Furniture’s Smoothie Collection, this contemporary chair features elongated lines and comfortable cushions.
