The infinite potential of a blank canvas. The reinvention of your favorite room. The home you hope to create. WE BELIEVE THE MOST PLEASING ENVIRONMENTS ARE A REFLECTION OF HUMAN DESIGN. THEY ARE A STUDY OF BALANCE, SYMMETRY AND PERFECT PROPORTIONS. WE RESPECT THE HIERARCHY AND IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE AND DÉCOR THAT CREATE HARMONY. IT’S A DISCIPLINE OF ADDITION THROUGH SUBTRACTION, WHERE LESS BECOMES MORE, AND CALM IS CREATED THROUGH CONTINUITY. THE RESULT IS A HOLISTIC DESIGN THAT IS STRONG YET SIMPLE. WE SUBSCRIBE TO LEONARDO DA VINCI’S PHILOSOPHY THAT “SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION.” OUR DESIGNERS PLACE YOU AT THE CENTER OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, WORKING TO REALIZE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR HOME, AND TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
All you have to do is imagine. FOR AN APPOINTMENT, VISIT THE RH DESIGN ATELIER AT YOUR LOCAL GALLERY OR CONTACT US AT RH.COM/INTERIORDESIGN.

EDITOR’S LETTER
STYLE MATTERS
LX_COM10_EditorLetter.indd 84
I recently came upon this headline while scrolling online: FIVE EASY STEPS TO DEFINE YOUR HOME’S STYLE! Curiosity got the better of me, so I clicked and was served up five “looks” from which to discover my sense of self. A one-click approach to finding your style seems so, well, unimaginative. I’ve always subscribed to the belief that sartorial matters are personal and best left to marinate slowly over years, decades, a lifetime. This issue, like each one we publish, is populated with all manner of looks, attitudes and ideas (edited through our prism) and designed to spark creativity and expose you to a fresh inkling or new take on a deep-rooted idea. Here, we explore the age-old art form of portraiture, shine a spotlight on lighting that
ranges from Bauhaus-inspired to overtly maximalist, and report on tips and advice for entertaining at home. That’s our approach: to present viewpoints, designs and concepts with the hope that there’s an element or two for you to integrate and put your own spin on. Like people, the most interesting homes are layered, eclectic and unhurriedly evolved—never a quick click. From my house to yours, I wish you a season filled with beauty and enjoyed with those that you love.

Welcome to the November/December issue of Luxe Interiors + Design Austin + Hill Country! As winter approaches, the Austin design community is just beginning to heat up with events all across town. In September, we joined Caesarstone at Brazos Hall for a “Color Conversations” panel discussion with designer Claire Zinnecker and chefs Andrew Wiseheart and Paul Qui, moderated by designer Kris Swift. Guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a celebration of color as these dynamic professionals provided their specialized perspective on the impact of color in their professional segment. We also joined the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) for its Fall Social at the James Showroom. Owned and operated by designer Meredith Ellis and her husband Hunter Ellis, James is located in the heart of Austin’s growing Design District, offering dozens of carefully selected lines of high-end fabric, wallpaper, rugs and lighting to both the trade and retail. Be sure to check out our special advertorial section for holiday gifts and inspiration. Enjoy the issue!

What are some of your favorite home accessory holiday gift ideas? I love to give art or other beautiful, inspiring gifts with little function. I love giving those little things you’d love to have, but don’t always buy for yourself.
“
What I love most about the holidays is being with my family, slowing down and cooking more.

What will you have on your holiday dinner menu this year? Our new family tradition is cooking beef bourguignon for Christmas dinner. My recipe is Julia Child’s and it is a labor of love, as a holiday meal should be. My husband and I are obsessed with it, paired with a good red wine. What are some of your favorite must-haves for holiday decorating? Candles, woodsy incense, greenery, lights and, of course, mistletoe! How do you decorate your home for the holidays? I love multicolor lights; they have a vintage 1950s feel and make the house feel so fun and playful. I buy as much extra pine and fir greenery to put around, mostly for the forest smell.

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING WITH CASEY ROY, OWNER
OF CITRINE HOME
What are some tips/tricks for stress-free entertaining this holiday season? I love to get my house decorated right after Thanksgiving, so we can enjoy the spirit for the entire holiday season. I have a few easy, go-to recipes for festive appetizers and cocktails and always keep those ingredients on-hand for impromptu holiday gatherings. I also keep a stash of stylishly wrapped host/hostess gifts in my closet, so I am prepared for any party occasion. What type of holiday party do you like to throw? I love to have outdoor cocktail parties. Outdoor fire pits with Pinon firewood burning, festive holiday music, signature cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres are all must-haves.
“
Planning ahead and starting party preparations early makes all the difference in stress-free entertaining during the holidays.

CONTRIBUTORS
BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
BRADLEY NESBITT WEATHERLY If I could interview anyone, I would… Want to talk to Kate Middleton, off the record. Any time you have the opportunity to speak to someone whose life is in front of the lens, it’s always nice to have moments that are stripped away to meet the real person, know what makes them laugh, get insight into their quirks and see who they are outside of the public sphere. Favorite Luxe interview: I enjoyed the conversation I had with landscape architect Mario Nievera of Nievera Williams. It was so interesting to see how he thinks of grass as rugs and boxwoods as wallpaper. His entire approach to outdoor landscape is so relatable to interiors. What type of architecture inspires you the most? I’m a Southern girl, so I love both Greek Revival and Georgian styles. I can almost smell the magnolia when I see a Greek Revival house; it immediately takes me home. Words of wisdom: Never let fear determine your steps.
JESSICA KLEWICKI GLYNN Photographer / Palm Beach
What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that traditional methods of crafting furniture are making a comeback with many bespoke designers. I also enjoy when people repurpose antique hardware, including hinges, doorknobs and pulls. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love a marble-topped Saarinen dining table for my new breakfast room, some beautiful wall sconces for my bedroom (particularly Aerin’s black Charlton wall lights), and a redo of my pool area—something sleek yet traditional such as a bluestone pool deck. Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Growing up, all of my summers were spent at our family vacation home in Montauk. One day, while working the ticket booth at a movie theater in East Hampton, I was reading Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. A gentleman walked up and said, “So how do you like that book?” I told him I loved it, and he said, “Do you want me to sign it?” I looked up and it was Kurt Vonnegut. I still have the signed copy on my bookshelf.
LX_COM10_Contributors.indd 94
NICK JOHNSON Photographer / New York What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received? On my first day as a photo assistant, I worked on a shoot of Martha Stewart with the legendary architectural photographer Scott Frances. Afterward, I was telling Scott what a great day it was and he said, “As far as your career goes, you are what you shoot.” I try to remember this to make sure I get the best shots possible. Whose work are you influenced by design-wise? Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of Consort Design and Estee Stanley. Their work is casual, comfortable and cool. I try to take what I can from them and incorporate it into my own house. Memorable Luxe assignment: While my assistant and I were shooting a Colorado house with amazing views, we heard a loud rustling behind us and saw a bear standing in the woods. We left so fast that we forgot the camera and had to get reinforcements to go back and get our equipment. The bear didn’t indulge us for any selfies, though.
PATRICK SORAN Writer / Denver Prized possessions: Since my husband and two dogs aren’t possessions, I would have to say my neoclassical console table built in Italy around 1850 (that I love more than I ought to), a pair of wood carvings of Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris that I bought in a shop on the banks of the Nile, and the little plaque I got in ninth grade for Best Creative Writing. What books have impacted you the most? First, William Zinsser’s On Writing Well. The author recommends that a writer get to the point, tell the story and then run to the nearest door. Right now, though, I’m obsessed with the symbolism of diamonds and radio signals in Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See. If not a writer, what you would be? A flâneur is a person who does nothing much but walk around hither and yon and enjoy what he sees. I’d flâneur in Paris, Manhattan and San Francisco, thank you very much. Then I’d have lunch.

ABOUT
FACE THE BEST PLACE FOR A PORTRAIT ISN’T HANGING IN A MUSEUM GALLERY—IT’S ON THE WALL IN YOUR HOME. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
From the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring to American Gothic, the collective fascination with portrait art goes back far beyond even the most famous examples of the genre: back to prehistoric times, in fact, where crude renderings of faces in profile have been discovered by archaeologists in cave dwellings and in the tombs of Egyptian and Chinese royalty. Few mediums have had such staying power. So, what’s with the fascination with faces? It’s simple: Much like the best writing, portraits are a way to explore our humanity—something that highlights all the ways in which we are different and all the ways in which we are the same. So, it’s no surprise that the introspective art form has been increasingly making its way into our homes, with portraits often acting as the stars of busy gallery walls and standalone displays alike. Here, Luxe rounds up some of our favorite local and international artists that are keeping the ages-old tradition alive and fresh with new interpretations and thrilling techniques.

GABRIEL SCHAMA
FAMILY PORTRAITS Who: From his studio in Oakland, California, artist Gabriel Schama’s powerful profiles and portraits are a cut above—literally. All of his pieces are either carefully excised by hand with an X-Acto knife or expertly produced with the help of his in-house assistant, a laser cutter he’s named Elsie. What: Schama’s work runs the gamut, from reimagined images from newspaper articles and album covers where he’s replaced the faces with boldly hued paper-cut explosions to classic profiles executed in wood with inner workings comprised of Elsie’s precisely stacked layers (as shown in the section opener). Why we love him: There’s something meditative about Schama’s work, like a complex wood weaving or a dizzying mandala brought to life. It’s hard to look away. gabrielschama.com
KEHINDE WILEY
SHANTAVIA BEALE II, 2012 Who: No one breaks down boundaries and flips the narrative quite like Brooklyn-based artist Kehinde Wiley, whose classically inspired oil paintings are made modern thanks to their subjects. What: Highly stylized and realistically rendered portraits in rich palettes depicting black and brown men and women from all over the world in poses influenced by the works of the old masters. Why we love him: There’s so much ground the historical portrait-painting tradition has yet to cover, and Wiley’s work is helping to narrow the distance between the genre’s myopic view of the past and the incredible diversity of our everyday reality— while simultaneously celebrating it. kehindewiley.com; skny.com
CAYCE ZAVAGLIA
GARRETT, 2011 Who: Artist Cayce Zavaglia had spent her career working on photo-realistic oil portraits, but when she became pregnant 15 years ago and had to forgo using the toxic chemicals required of the practice, she switched gears: relying on nontraditional embroidery techniques to capture her subjects. What: Large-scale embroidered portraits that may as well have been plucked from the studios of the old masters. One of these complex pieces can take Zavaglia anywhere from six weeks to six months to produce. Why we love her: Zavaglia is able to capture the depth and personality of her subjects—all friends and members of her family—in their direct and unwavering glances; plus, the softness of the embroidery thread and wool she uses brings added warmth to each beautiful visage. caycezavaglia.com

OUKALY Who: Spanish painter Oriol Angrill Jordà has taken two of art’s most celebrated and oft-studied subjects— landscapes and the human form—and merged them together in his signature watercolor series, titled Blendscapes. The result? Portraits that break all the rules in the best way possible. What: Jordà’s work feels like a dream within a dream, with everything from steep mountain ranges to serene lakeside scenes depicted across the side of a face or a cheek, like a window into what his subjects are thinking. Why we love him: Because Jordà brings one of our favorite platitudes to life in his portraits: People contain multitudes. It’s a beautiful sentiment depicted in works that are both realistic and deeply imaginative. oriolangrill.com

Walking in the shoes of some of the characters powering through traumatic, complicated lives in our favorite television shows may sound less than ideal—we’re looking at you, The Affair’s tragedystricken protagonists Noah and Alison—but living in their homes? That’s another story. One look at the aforementioned Noah’s effortlessly cool Brooklyn brownstone or Alison’s cozy beachfront retreat in Montauk can make even (spoiler alert) taking the blame for vehicular homicide seem a little more palatable. Catching a glimpse into the well-appointed Red Keep in Game of Thrones, too, can make it hard not to root for Cersei Lannister; surely, if she were so evil, she wouldn’t have such great decorating taste? As on-demand television becomes more of a staple of home entertainment, the remote’s role has gone far beyond pausing, playing and fastforwarding—it’s turning the small screen into a veritable Pinterest board full of décor ideas for everything from living and dining rooms to artist studios and, well, even the White House.

It all comes as no shock to Steve Arnold, the production designer behind the uncannily realistic presidential-inspired sets on the award-winning House of Cards. “You would be completely amazed to know about all the emails we get from everywhere on the planet—from Australia, Europe, the United States,” he says. “They want to know where we sourced the chaise lounge in such and such episode, the fabric on the sofa in another episode. They’ll ask about the smallest little details.” So, is it just that people are spending more time in their homes and in front of the television, or has the entertainment industry itself become more keen to its audience’s design-leaning proclivities? It’s hard to tell. But for people like Arnold and set decorator Beauchamp Fontaine— who’s responsible for the easy, breezy coastal interiors on the set of Grace and Frankie, as well as blockbuster hits like The Revenant and Now You See Me—they’re still designing with clients in mind; they just happen to be fictional and on a crazy-tight deadline (sets are often
conceptualized and completed in as little as 6-10 weeks). This real-person approach is what gives the sets their soul and lived-in layers, and likely, what makes the spaces resonate with viewers. Lily Tomlin’s artist studio in Grace and Frankie, for example, was a real labor of love for Fontaine. “For Lily’s character, Frankie, the studio is the one place that is really and truly hers,” she says. “It became her refuge. So, it was important to me that we get it right.” To make it look real, then, Fontaine tapped a local ceramicist to come in before filming and work on the potter’s wheel— saving his half-thrown pots, slip and slurry, adding to the dialogue without saying a word. “What we’re doing is a different kind of storytelling,” Fontaine says. “Interiors can tell as much of a story as the plot sometimes. It’s been incredible to see viewers really catching on to that.” Above: A still of Lily Tomlin’s art studio from the set of Grace and Frankie, designed by Beauchamp Fontaine for the show’s premiere season on Netflix.

RADAR / ITINERARY
WRITTEN BY JESSE BRATTER
It’s almost time for the art world to descend upon Miami once again for the much-anticipated Art Basel Miami Beach fair—for artists and collectors everywhere to come in droves to South Florida for several jam-packed days of VIP previews, international brand appearances and auxiliary shows throughout the city’s metropolitan areas and artistic enclaves. Offering an oasis of design,
art and community in the midst of all the organized chaos will be Jessica Acosta-Rubio, whose creative agency Design Pub collaborates with designers and like-minded brands on both a local and global level to curate exhibitions and pop-ups. This year, she’ll join forces with Lululemon to host H[OM BASE]L at a residence on the Venetian Islands; the project will explore the seven chakras
through various activation stations with the help of tabletop brand Comunione, jewelry designer Joanne Stone, and other creatives. And while we’re sure to see Acosta-Rubio behind more events happening between December 1 and 4, she let us in on some of her other must-see spots for those who love art and design just as much as she does. atdesignpub.com
EAT “Egot,” an exhibit of furniture by Nun and Office GA, was previously presented by Design Pub and Giovanni Beltran. Damien Hirst's Gone but not Forgotten (above) is on view at Faena Hotel Miami Beach.
Soul Food: I’m a huge fan of Rene Gonzalez’s architectural work, and I love the indoor-outdoor Plant Food + Wine restaurant inside The Sacred Space Miami, a mixed-use facility he designed that focuses on wellness, education and community. From the restaurant to the outdoor area, this open yet private floor plan is so unique to Miami. It’s the perfect place to eat and drink while in a meeting or just occasionally with friends. The food and plating is absolutely gorgeous. thesacredspacemiami.com Feel Good: Paradigm Kitchen is a health-conscious restaurant concept in Miami Beach from the team at Jugofresh. I can’t take all the credit, but I loved helping them with some of their furniture selections from our favorite brand in Los Angeles, Bend Goods.

RADAR / ITINERARY Design Pub curates pop-up exhibitions like “#101ManMade” (shown here and center), a show that coincided with a previous Art Basel Miami Beach. At bottom is a look at the Plant Food + Wine restaurant at The Sacred Space Miami.
SHOP Plain and Simple: Good design should be accessible to everyone. And no one practices that philosophy more than the cotton T-shirt brand Neushop Miami, whose two main characteristics are function and quality. The simple yet meaningful ethos of Neushop is represented by the barebones quality of the historic downtown building in which it’s housed, and in the shop’s monthly design forums and events that are open to the public. neushop.com En Vogue: The Webster in South Beach is definitely my preferred place to shop. I love that they’ve preserved the look and feel of the Art Deco building, because the best part of the shopping experience is the contrast between the historic design and the new fashion trends they have inside. And the accessories selection there is on point: I’m a huge fan of Annelise Michelson jewelry; I adore the world of Olympia Le-Tan; and because we live in Miami, I always need to splurge on new sunglasses by Mykita. thewebster.us
EXPLORE Double Trouble: My favorite design duo in town is Jessica Martin and Deon Rubi, collectively known as Nun, who work out of Little Haiti. They’ve been part of our Design Pub exhibits for the past two years, with a focus on furniture design and objects, including collaborations with Jonathan Gonzalez of Office GA. They were also a part of the incredible show, Giovanni Beltran’s “Primitive Hut,” at Noguchi Breton in Miami earlier this year. deonrubi.com
Meet Market: I’m very excited about the Mexican designers who will be exhibiting in Miami during Comisaria Latina de Diseño, a design showcase of art, fashion and interiors by Latin American artisans in a bazaar-like setting. Check it out at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami hotel from December 1-4.
STAY Checking In: Faena Hotel Miami Beach is my new go-to spot to have fun among art and architecture. The design is just breathtaking, and the Faena Theater is like a dream. It’s so magical and whimsical that they call it a fantasyland, and they have a performance every weekend called C’est Rouge! that shouldn’t be missed. Every time I find myself at Faena, I always feel as if I’m inside of a movie. It’s like Wes Anderson meets Moulin Rouge. faena.com

Moore is More: The Moore Building houses a site-specific installation by Zaha Hadid that is definitely worth seeing. We’ll have a show there during the next big art and design invasion—Maison & Objet Americas in May—with lots of limited-edition works mainly by young talents from Miami and Latin America. bridgehouseevents.com

View Finder: I love walking around the Miami Design District and discovering new places. Alchemist has been one of my favorite finds. The fashion boutique has three locations, with this one focusing on fine jewelry. It’s again designed by Rene Gonzalez and has an unforgettable rose gold-mirrored façade, is surrounded by palm trees and lies diagonally to the Buckminster Fuller Fly’s Eye Dome sculpture. The whole area has changed tremendously—mounting exhibitions inside temporary spaces here over the last six years, I’ve seen it all. The Design District is the most ambitious project in Miami in terms of community building and outstanding design. I can’t wait for the opening of the new Institute of Contemporary Art, all of our summer rooftop parties and more restaurants to come. miamidesigndistrict.net

FINE PRINT THE CREATIVE WUNDERKIND BEHIND NEW YORK’S WALLCOVERING UPSTART, VOUTSA, GEORGE VENSON USHERS IN A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF DESIGN LOVERS WHO BELIEVE PATTERN MAKES PERFECT. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA / PORTRAIT BY CHRIS GLOAG
“No one can pronounce it,” says George Venson, with a laugh, in reference to the name of his devil-may-care design house, Voutsa—an abridged version of his father’s family’s pre-Ellis Island Greek surname. And while that might be mostly true (for the record, it’s | voot | - sä), it’s had no bearing whatsoever on the company’s rapid ascent. Venson’s bold, at times risqué, wallpapers almost instantly found their niche after Voutsa’s launch in 2013, and his devotees have hardly let phonetics get in the way of translating the brand’s whimsical prints into statementmaking backdrops for daring interiors. Voutsa’s painterly collections feature wild and fantastical illustrations—from giant watercolor lips and coral-grazing goldfish to elegant birds-of-paradise and Russian dancers in mid-waltz. They’re all fun and eye-catching, but if Voutsa’s nearly meteoric rise can be attributed to any one thing, it’s to Venson’s own sheer force of will: his aversion to trends and his selfprofessed interest in charting his own course. “I have no desire to make the typical, expected things,” he says. “I want everything I do to have a bit of a twist, something no one sees coming.” It seems obvious, then, that a year after his first wallpaper collection premiered to great success, the artist-turned-product designer was on to the next thing: a capsule fashion line—in collaboration with Paul Marlow, the couture mastermind behind the retired menswear collective Loden Dager—rendered from Voutsa’s most popular patterns, which he’s currently traveling to promote in a series of international pop-up shops, like his latest in London, at right. “When I first started working with Paul, I told him I wanted to create clothing that represented my ideal look—from head to toe,” Venson explains. “We did tunics and shirts and bandannas, focusing on well-made pieces with classic cuts that could fit different body types.” For Venson, though, it’s not just about outfitting a body or a room; it’s about capturing a lifestyle—regardless of if that life is being carried out in a New York City apartment or in the Oval Office (a name he drops when asked for his dream commission). “I have a wonderfully diverse base of people interested in the work I do at Voutsa,” he says. “Whether it’s one of my wallpapers getting selected for a high-end project by a big decorator or a printed scarf going home with someone in Wyoming, I love that each person can take away a piece of this fantasy world I’ve created.”

WHO: Dallas-based Judy Aldridge, blogger, tastemaker and the woman behind online décor brand Atlantis Home, arouses some serious decorator envy on her expertly layered and well-collected Instagram account. WHAT: Mixed prints and rich hues take center stage in Aldridge’s perfectly eclectic feed, as she travels the globe in search of handwoven textiles and artisan goods. Also, expect to see recurring appearances from her precious canines—all eight of them. WHY: If you’re a fan of piled-on, Bohemianchic interiors, you will fall in love with the hip and cozy vibe of her ever-changing abode. IN HER WORDS: “Sometimes my photos are very planned and curated, but other days something specific will stop me in my tracks and I’ll have to post it. Shaker chairs, wingbacks, levels of decay and Victorian sofas all catch my eye. And I can never turn down gilt mirrors and unique sconces.”

Holiday shopping just got a little more enjoyable for design-savvy Texans, thanks to a slew of stores that have recently popped up. For starters, contemporary furniture stalwart Kartell (1964 W. Gray St.) is opening a new flagship in Houston’s River Oaks. In Dallas, interior designer Kristin Mullen launched an eponymous home décor shop coined Curated by Kristin Mullen (6725 Snider Plaza), which features styled vignettes of hand-selected finds and dually hosts her design studio, while Parisian silversmith Christofle (67 Highland Park Village) chose the city’s Highland Park enclave for its second Texas boutique. If you’re in Austin, drop by the new 60,000-square-foot RH Austin (11720 Domain Blvd.), the latest iteration of the brand’s next-generation design galleries, located at buzzy The Domain. Also, Annie Downing Interiors (509 Powell St.), above, launched a chic, lived-in interiors showroom offering accessories, upholstered furniture, art and more in the capital city’s growing design district downtown. 114 / LUXESOURCE.COM

In Houston, century-old Italian furniture maker Giorgetti is making its way into the luxury-branded real estate industry with a new boutique condominium: Giorgetti Houston. Slated for completion in 2018, the seven-story building containing 32 roomy units will be located in the city’s tony Upper Kirby neighborhood. Bellaire-based Mirador Group will helm the design of the structure, with the steadfast furniture brand’s aesthetic sensibility ever in mind. “Everything from the building’s geometry to the fixtures and finishes within have been inspired by the Giorgetti brand,” says Jerry Hooker, principal of the Mirador Group. The texture of the exterior façade, for example, is informed by the design house’s Origami sideboard, while exotic woods, leathers and fabrics distinctive to the Italian company are woven throughout the interiors. Consider it a home made in Italy. giorgettihouston.com

DATE BOOK Architectural antiques showroom Chateau Domingue has been a favorite among Houston’s design set since its opening in 2002. Specializing in grand-scale European finds, architectural elements and reclaimed building materials, the sprawling shop boasts hundreds of rescued treasures. “Everything we do is an expression of luxury that is warm, discreet and authentic,” says founder Ruth Gay. Recently, the proprietor expanded her brand to offer reproductions of her often one-of-a-kind pieces. This includes the launch of Atelier Domingue, which offers custom metal door and window frames; Maison Domingue, a line of bespoke doors fashioned from reclaimed oak and pine; and the Bastide Collection, stone and wood flooring informed by European estates. Here, the savvy shopkeeper shares what makes Houston a can’t-miss for antiques lovers. chateaudomingue.com 9 a.m. Start at Common Bond Café & Bakery for coffee and a flaky croissant. If you’re feeling indulgent, go with a kouign-amann, a croissant with a crunchy, sugary top. 10 a.m. Wend your way west, stopping first at M. Naeve to check out the recently added custom upholstery line and then Kay O’Toole for wonderful European furniture and objects.
2 p.m. Next, stop by the great Thompson+Hanson; it’s a refined nursery that has a bit of a hiddentreasure feel. At one end of the courtyard is the retail shop, and at the other end, grab a late lunch at the restaurant Tiny Boxwoods. I love the salmon Provençal.
12 p.m. Head to W. Gardner, Ltd. William Gardner, the owner, is the best antiques dealer in town. There is never a time when I stop into his charming shop in a bungalow that I don’t find something remarkable.
3 p.m. Spend the remainder of the afternoon at Chateau Domingue. We have three acres and 15,000 square feet to explore: doors and windows, stone floors and sinks, fountains and mantels, columns, lanterns, gates, garden elements, paintings, tables and chairs as well as reclaimed elements and materials. We love introducing people to what we love.
1:30 p.m. Indulge is where I pick up my favorite fragrance of Diptyque candles: Baies. Be sure to browse the great selection of home décor items, like linens by Sferra and pretty glassware.
5 p.m. End the day at Area, a good source for decorative objects and books. Owner Don Connelly styles his shop in a series of vignettes, so it’s easy to see how something will work in your own home.

It’s rare that… The words “whimsical” and “architectural” can go together, but somehow, Rosie Li pulls it off. I’m a pretty big risk-taker in general. I tend to think that there are less “rules” in decorating than most others do. When I look at Bubbly I smile, because they really went for it, and to that I can relate. On trend: The piece is gold, layered and extravagant yet with a playful curvature. All of these elements are on trend, but especially the idea of pairing opposites: extravagance with function, playfulness with formality. When it comes to luxury design… It’s all in the details, but sometimes the details can often be painstaking and much easier to just forego. When a designer like Li has spent time on the finishing touches, you can easily spot the difference. The fixture against this backdrop… Is a marriage of two ideas: respect for the past and boldness for the future. It’s a delicate balance to strike, and here it’s done very well.

THE PIECE: Bubbly 08-Light Linear Chandelier THE DESIGNER: Rosie Li FIND IT: rosieli.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by soap bubbles and Newton’s law of universal gravitation, Brooklyn-based Rosie Li married maximalism with geometric elegance to create a stellar brass lighting system—a sculptural take on the traditional linear chandelier.

ABOVE THE FOLD THE PIECE: Origami Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: François Champsaur for Pouenat FIND IT: hollyhunt.com THE INSPIRATION: Calling on the ancient art of origami, François Champsaur’s angular brass table lamp explores the infinite possibilities offered by metal, with the sharp, decorative lines of the material clearly on display.
DAVID MONTALBA
ARCHITECT MONTALBAARCHITECTS.COM
François Champsaur’s work shows… A strong, consistent support of extremely high-quality design and unique craftsmanship. The folded metal planes and the focus of the light on the material’s surface feel very architectural and intentional. It reminds me of both contemporary sculpture and some of our own work: It’s rooted in the past with its cast fabrication, but its form suggests a contemporary relationship and progress. On trend: This particular finish feels timeless, possibly vintage or repurposed. Lately, there has been a push toward recycled, conscious fashion, so in that respect, this piece feels in line with the current zeitgeist of design. When it comes to luxury design… A bespoke piece, be it for clothing or interiors, always feels like more of a privilege than whatever massproduced product it’s up against. Playing a role in crafting what you wear, or how you live, is the ultimate in luxury. In composition: The sculptural qualities of the lamp are very elegant, giving it a sense of formality. The polished continuity of the fixture against the rough brick background really highlights its simplicity and clean lines. A strong contrast is visually engaging; this opposition inspires dialogue.

CHRISTINA BRYANT TEXTILE MAVEN STFRANK.COM
Pelle’s use of form and material is… Enchanting. Their compositions come across as both deconstructed and refined—I love that apposition. I’m all about taking risks. This is an exceptionally whimsical sconce, and it has much more of an organic shape than I’m used to seeing from Pelle. In that way, I think it’s a risk well-taken. My line of work demonstrates… My love for—and belief in—the beauty of juxtaposing texture and shape. That same quality draws me to the Lure sconce. On trend: Lure’s mix of hard and soft, the sleek metallic with the organic cast flower, is a combination we’re seeing in fashion right now. That, along with the costume-like romance and femininity of the petals, makes this piece very much in style. The rustic, industrial backdrop… Contrasted against these delicate sconces accentuates their sensuality as well as their clean-lined hardware. The way the light is cast toward the flowers creates shadowy silhouettes that echo their shapes, which is really captivating.
LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 161
STEEL MAGNOLIAS THE PIECE: Lure Sconce THE DESIGNER: Pelle FIND IT: pelledesigns.com THE INSPIRATION: Enlisted for its structural strength yet technical delicacy, the magnolia served as the muse for Pelle’s Lure sconce. A suspended LED light, held by a slender brass arc, illuminates the fixture’s hand-sculpted cast-paper petals.

RYAN KORBAN
INTERIOR DESIGNER RYANKORBAN.COM
I like the artisanal feel of John Pomp’s work. He is a true craftsman, which is something I am attracted to as a designer. On trend: In a world where design is often over-saturated and everything tends to look the same, I think Pomp’s Lumenariums feel original. I’m constantly searching for pieces that are authentic, and this hits that note. Silhouette is… Often the most important aspect of lighting, and the sophistication of this particular piece is really in its silhouette. When it comes to luxury design… People love great pieces but don’t want their environment to feel too decorated. People are eager for statement items, but are not looking for a polished, matching ensemble. Rather, they want to mix and match; it’s a fresher perspective. In composition: I love the juxtaposition of the lights and the backdrop. It is that perfect combination of something custom and refined with something super undone that sparks emotion. I am always inspired by the intersection of product and environment. Opposites attract. And that could not be truer than in design. This kind of contrast makes people feel—not just see. It evokes emotion that cannot be replicated.

GEO LOGIC THE PIECE: The Wrongski THE DESIGNER: Jean-Pascal Gauthier FIND IT: jeanpascalgauthier.com THE INSPIRATION: Here, a geometric mélange of acrylic, brass, mirror and glass keeps with the suspended and balanced mobile style of Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s portfolio, which is steadily influenced by the Bauhaus movement.
STEPHANIE VON WATZDORF CREATIVE DIRECTOR FIGUE.COM
Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s work reminds me of… The Russian Constructivism movement that started in 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin, along with sculptor Alexander Calder’s work—which I love. It resembles a mobile: I like the harmony of the shapes and the mix of the triangle with the big and small bulbs. I always look to interior design… For inspiration in my own work; both worlds complement each other. I look at proportions, colors, textures, fabrics and overall elegance. In terms of luxury design: For me, quality equates to luxury. Statement piece: Any piece that is unexpected and has an interesting balance and shape to it, like the Wrongski pendant, is a “statement piece” to me. The raw iron and textured background… Juxtaposed with the clean finished lines of this hanging sculptural light fixture is especially striking. I am always looking for the unexpected: Risk can create incredible beauty and harmony. Here, the fixture is set in a surrounding that is totally contrary to what one would assume. The vintage, rusty, antiqued background with the angular, clean metal and modern shape of the lighting fixture is an unexpected contrast.

ROCK STEADY THE PIECE: Sender One Side Lamp THE DESIGNER: Christina Zamora FIND IT: brave-matter.com THE INSPIRATION: Christina Zamora's decision to employ waxed brass to pierce a piece of variegated salt crystal creates a statement-making lamp that ditches convention for something altogether more refreshing.
GEORGE AUGUSTO CREATIVE DIRECTOR STAUD.CLOTHING
Brave Matter’s pieces are… Overtly midcentury and, at times, lean toward 1960s Pop art. In this particular piece… I like that the beauty comes from only two elements: the brass stem and a salt crystal light fixture. Making such a simple piece is deceptively difficult. The mix of materials is… A perfect balance between feminine and masculine. Luxury design used to be… Primarily based on price, but I think that’s changed. Today, it’s about being special and the combination of high and low: the ability to fuse a wide range of elements and include a piece with some emotion or nostalgia. On trend: The midcentury revival exploded in the late ’90s and hasn’t let up since. This fixture fits right in with that aesthetic. In composition: The juxtaposition of the raw environment makes you further appreciate the total refinement of the light fixture. Such a contrast allows you to see certain aspects of each aesthetic with a clarity that would otherwise not be possible.

THE MUST-SEE EVENT IN HOME FURNISHINGS Celebrating 107 years, High Point Market is the world’s largest and most important home furnishings trade show. Each spring and fall, more than 75,000 home furnishings professionals come to High Point to experience the products, trends and innovations—and meet the people—that are moving home fashion forward. We spoke with three leading interior designers to hear what they were looking forward to seeing at the Spring 2017 High Point Market and capture just some of the energy and excitement that make Market Week the fashion week of home furnishings.

Corey Damen Jenkins Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates, LLC “I’m excited to see some of the specific 2017 spring colors that were identified by the trend forecasters at Fashion Snoops—particularly the combination of Pantone 19-3921, Pantone 17-4911 and Pantone 15-309. Our firm is coincidentally building a home for one of our clients with these exact colors as the main palette of the first floor. Together they create a very fresh and vibrant color story, but it’s also sexy and sophisticated as well. I’m looking forward to pushing traditional boundaries with these hues. I also really appreciated what Jamie Drake had to say about how fashion and interior design are essentially in a symbiotic relationship. His statement, ‘Most of the rules can be broken if done with sophistication and style,’ should be printed on t-shirts and given out to clients.”
Kerrie Kelly Kerrie Kelly Design Lab “We are so inspired by the Old Havana and Cove trends that Fashion Snoops has forecast for the coming year. With our renewed access to the old-world elegance and excitement of Cuba and our constant desire to be near the coastline, these two color trends are paving the way for a much-anticipated shift in the design world. The Cove color trend speaks to us particularly because of our California roots. Every time we drive down the coast we are inspired by something new—waves breaking against the shore, a beachfront cafe or the laid-back style of our fellow Californians.”
Elissa Grayer Elissa Grayer Interior Design “I attend High Point Market to see and touch everything new in the industry. By being there twice a year I get to experience an incredible world of new products and absorb the talent and inspiration on display around me. I bring that enthusiasm back to my clients! Don’t forget to wear the most comfortable shoes and enjoy all the food and drink the showrooms provide.”

CLEVER DESIGN AND UNEXPECTED SOURCES OF INSPIRATION CONVERT THE HOME’S HARDEST-WORKING HUBS INTO GUEST-READY SPACES PRIMED FOR ENTERTAINING. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
Just like the best hostesses exude warmth and hospitality so, too, do standout spaces. A home that’s fit for entertaining should make handling a crowd look effortless, especially in its most hightraffic zones. Good flow, eye-catching finishes, high-performing appliances and, of course, comfort are fundamental factors in creating areas that invite crowds to linger. Whether it’s a kitchen built for sipping and socializing around a supersized island, or a powder room with enough pizzazz to make a lasting impression, your home’s busiest rooms should be ready to face the public at a moment’s notice. Here, a look at party-ready spaces and products that are as stylish as they are functional. 158 / LUXESOURCE.COM

RESTAURANT QUALITY SMITH HANES
The details-obsessed visionary behind the look of Atlanta’s hottest eateries, including The Optimist and Le Fat, is known for his warm, industrial aesthetic. For this handsome residential kitchen, designer Smith Hanes used reclaimed materials and earthy neutrals to create an atmosphere that feels both vintage and timeless. smithhanes.com
What can homeowners best learn from restaurant design? The most important thing is the lighting. The ideal plans incorporate multiple light sources on many surfaces, like under the open shelving and in the pantry. The goal is always to put people at ease and make them look and feel their best in their surroundings.
Definitely not for the clutter-prone, this showstopper pantry features custom-made steel-and-glass enclosures, playing off the materials used in the adjoining kitchen.
Describe your signature “soft industrial” look. We use materials that are characteristic of the industrial era, such as metal, glass and brick, to create a variety of textures. Pairing them with lighter colors, like cream, blush, pale gray or even, in this case, wood tones, helps to create a softer, warming effect.

Share your vision for the space. The kitchen is meant to function as a place where a large family can gather, so we did an open plan with enough seating for 10 to 12 people. The client had a photo of a wall of cabinets made from old doors and windows; that was the inspiration for the glass pantry.

IN THE NAVY While a simmering pot is usually best kept out of sight from guests, you might want to make an exception for the new collaboration between venerable French cookware company Staub and Food 52. Sporting the on-trend combination of midnight blue with brass accents, the collection is a stylish addition to your stovetop repertoire. food52.com
In recent years, the wall space behind the stove has become the de rigueur place to make an artistic statement in the kitchen. Take the chevron backsplash from Nashville designer April Tomlin, for example, who created the Navajo-inspired design shown here out of MDF covered with fire-safe paint. “I was bored with traditionally used tile,” she says. Open shelves and a snowy white quartz countertop ensure all eyes are on her handiwork. apriltomlin.com

DUTCH treat For this sophisticated kitchen, San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis found her muse in an unusual place: a Flemish still-life painting. A moody mix of materials, including steel-framed glass upper cabinets and a gray island topped with Belgian blue limestone, stand in stark contrast with white lower cabinets and a Calacatta Gold marble backsplash. Low-lighting creates ambience and intrigue—the perfect dinner party guests. nicolehollis.com
Ask any chef or caterer: An oversize refrigerator is the unsung hero of effortless entertaining. And with a tray that slides out to accommodate commercial-size sheet pans, the latest built-in model from Blue Star is both workhorse and eye candy— available in 750 customizable colors, including this deep indigo. Its interior is just as attractive as its exterior, thanks to a sleek stainless-steel lining, which makes it not only goodlooking, but better at insulating cold air, as well. bluestarcooking.com

Just because it’s a half bath doesn’t mean it can’t be full of style. Small in square footage but big in personality, powder rooms are the perfect forum to express your individuality and design philosophy—after all, you’ve got a captive audience. One way to make an impression? Let a unique wallpaper guide the overall concept, as designer Shea McGee did in this Salt Lake City powder room. “I fell in love with the vintage vibe of this rose print, which inspired the classic feel of the bath as well as the more masculine black-and-white palette,” she says.

For instance, beautiful table settings, like the ones seen here, build a sense of anticipation and announce to guests that they are in for a magical evening. It’s just one of a dozen ways to create a gracious and festive mood. Read on for more in our first-ever Luxe report on entertaining.

Good riddance to the days when the kitchen remained hidden from guests. Today, it’s more common for cookspaces to feature dazzling finishes meant for prime time, as in this downtown NYC loft designed by Jenny Wolf. With old-world herringbone wood floors, dark gray-stained cabinetry and open shelving, the effect is equal parts rustic and industrial. A generous island provides plenty of surface area for guests to congregate and graze. The shining star of the space, however, is the backsplash. “I love an antique mirror wall, and I thought it would be a great way to reflect some of the light from the three large casement windows on the opposite wall,” she says. “Not only does it make a beautiful backsplash, but it’s also surprisingly easy to clean.” jennywolfinteriors.com

“Formal, but never fussy” could be the motto for this elegant dining room by Santa Monica, California-based interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks. “I like to put my own spin on a room this traditional to keep it from feeling too stuffy,” he says. While the detail-rich crown molding was already in place, Marks added wainscot and lacquered the walls deep blue to ground the space, which seamlessly blends old and new. A contemporary light fixture from David Weeks, an abstract screenprint by James Nares and a jewel-toned geometric rug add just the right amount of edge, and go a long way in creating this lush and layered look. jam-design.com

bedside manners
An overnight guest should feel completely at home and pampered at the same time. To that end, designer Blue Carreon follows a simple philosophy: “I like to put as much thought into guest bedrooms as I do for my own room,” he says. One look at his bedroom in Manila, and you can see why this is a winning approach. Dark gray paneled walls create a cocoon-like effect that’s ideal for slumber, while fresh flowers, a water carafe and plenty of reading material make great bedside companions. With a space this inviting, your guests may never want to leave. bluecarreonhome.com

ON THE EDGE A HOMEOWNER PURCHASES A DALLAS DOMICILE AND TRANSFORMS IT TO REFLECT HER INIMITABLE STYLE. WRITTEN BY MINDY PANTIEL PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK JOHNSON

veryone knows the tale about the cobbler’s children never having shoes. However, most are probably less familiar with the plight of a builder’s wife who knows any house developed by her spouse—even one in which they are planning to live—could be sold. Such was the case for builder Mark Danuser and his wife, Christine. The couple hadn’t even painted and furnished their new home when Allane O’Neil, a potential client, took a peek. “She really liked one of our firm’s other projects, but it sold,” Danuser explains. “So with Christine’s permission, I showed her this one and she loved it.” The builder soon broke the news to his wife that they needed to move on—literally. With plans to build elsewhere, the duo stepped aside and watched Allane transform the residence into something uniquely hers. “When it came to finishes, her style and
_LX_TX43_HOM_Danuser_12.indd 188
ours matched up beautifully, but she really was able to make it her own and bring her personal sense of style to the home,” the builder says. The house that caught Allane’s eye had resulted from collaborations between Danuser and architect Mark David Hoesterey. Using brick and roof pitches in keeping with the established University Park neighborhood while stripping away any fussy ornamentation, the architect calls it “a regional interpretation of something you might see in Santa Barbara, California,” but notes he always aims for timelessness over any particular style. Though the cut-limestone sills and brick-corbel details are reminiscent of classical motifs, “the execution is clean-lined and simple,” says Hoesterey, who worked with senior project manager Enrique Montenegro and project coordinator Philip Pitzer. The architect adds:
This Dallas home features Lueders limestone headers and sills from Dallas Limestone, a custom door by Arte de Arquitectura de Mexico and a custom pendant fabricated by Solara Iron Doors & Lighting. The roof is by R&B Roofing, and the custom cast-concrete planters are by Form and Fiber. Jensen Engineers handled the structural engineering.

“The huge divided-light windows also have classical proportions, but integrating such large openings is a more contemporary approach that allowed us to celebrate the connection with the outdoors in all of the main living spaces.” In response, landscape designer Tal Thevenot crafted a front yard cohesive with the architectural concept. “My goal was to be true to the home’s historic traditional form—but with an eclectic-modern and industrial vibe— so the circular driveway and curved lawn are formal,” says Thevenot, who utilized plantings such as cotoneaster, flowing grasses and rosemary for their sculptural effect. “But it’s eclectic touches, like the raised steel planters and cast-concrete urns, that give it flair.” “Eclectic” and “flair” proved to be bull’s-eye terms for Allane’s indoor style as well, as designer Morgan Farrow
_LX_TX43_HOM_Danuser_12.indd 191
deduced after an initial meeting with the homeowner. “Just imagine every style you can think of mashed together,” Farrow says, noting Allane doesn’t stick to one style in fashion, art or design, yet there’s some magic alignment that makes it all work. From the first step through the curved portal, where the entry spotlights a John Newsom painting, a Made Goods chair and a Big Mango Trading Company side table—with windows revealing Lee Industries from Brendan Bass Showroom slipcovered chairs in the pool area—it’s clear the mash-up philosophy is a winner. “She didn’t want anything typical or normal, so even when it came to lighting we had to think outside the box,” Farrow says. As such, the designer chose sparkly glass AV Mazzega ceiling fixtures to complete the opening statement.
Family room seating includes vintage Milo Baughman chairs from Antiques Moderne, Missoni Home poufs from Roche Bobois and a tufted ottoman from Mecox, with Ralph Lauren for Visual Comfort floor lamps from Lights Fantastic. Designer Morgan Farrow conceived the fireplace—fabricated by East Side Creations—with board-formed concrete and black metal panels.

Throughout the home, “wow” moments continue at a rapid-fire pace. In the lounge, with a tufted-cream sofa and blue-velvet lounge chairs, a surprising geometric cowhide rug ratchets everything up a notch, while in the kitchen, brass barstools with vinyl seats are juxtaposed with whitepainted and weathered-oak cabinets. Equally unexpected is the dining room, where 1970s mod chairs in screamingpink damask pull up to a farmhouse table below a Brutaliststyle fixture suspended from a lacquered ceiling. “There was never any strategic plan,” says Farrow, who found the chairs at a consignment shop and stumbled upon the light fixture. “I’d find something, then she would; it was all very spontaneous.” Equally creative is the guest room, featuring a headboard from Allane’s previous home attached to a grass-cloth-covered frame. “This room represents years of the homeowner’s vintage hunting,” Farrow says. If the
_LX_TX43_HOM_Danuser_12.indd 197
house has an identifiable thread, it is undoubtedly the art collection. Farrow says placement of the art—every bit as edgy and diverse as the owner herself—was anything but random. “Prior to moving in, we photographed every piece, printed out photos of them and pinned them up in potential locations,” she explains. Once the furniture had been arranged, they displayed the actual artwork throughout the home and analyzed each placement before making any holes in the walls or final decisions. In the end, it was calculated moments, such as the precision of hanging the wartwork, coupled with freeflowing decisions that created the ultimate success formula. “Typically, I’m a storyboarding-type planner, and Allane prefers to get down and dirty and dig and hunt, but our back-and-forth synergy really worked,” Farrow says. “The final result is just like her: fun, colorful and edgy.”
In the master bathroom, Designers Guild wallpaper from ID Collection echoes custom-cut Daltile marble flooring; the shower’s subway tile is from Porcelanosa. Douglas Cabinetry fabricated the vanity, which features a Mirabelle sink and Vicostone top from CounterSource.

Sisters Saba Jawda and Sarah Jawda (shown left, from left to right) are taking Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; design scene by storm. Ever fashionable, they apply their trademark timeless yet bold style to the finishes, paint and fabrics they select as designers (previous pages). Saba, who is also an artist, utilizes the duoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite color combination, black and white, in her paintings (above).

f they’re not busy working at the Carrara marble desk in their pristine Houston office, sisters Saba Jawda and Sarah Jawda are often traversing the globe for inspiration—something that comes naturally to the multidisciplinary designers, who were born in Iraq and lived in Jordan and Belize before settling in Texas. While traveling, they entertain their design interests by hotel hopping, having recently visited the Casa Malca in Tulum, Mexico. “We can relate to its mindset of mixing it up, which inspires us to take our ideas to another level,” says Sarah, noting the hotel’s unique style of blending contemporary art with a Yucatán Peninsula beach vibe. This approach—seeking inspiration and pushing boundaries—fuels the sisters’ firm, Jawda and Jawda, known for impeccable interior design services and made-to-order furniture, pillows, fine and digital art, and even cheeky greeting cards inspired by graphics seen at the Ace Hotel. With an ardent love for the color black and discerning taste for interiors and fashion, they believe in limitless possibilities. “If we can’t find something, we make it,” says Saba. Known for having a clean, bold aesthetic with an attention to detail, Saba and Sarah often opt for neutral furnishings and rich fabrics with metallic accents—think pink mohair upholstery with one of their signature pillows in high-end velvet. “The bold prints are perfect for bringing in color and texture where you wouldn’t normally on bigger pieces,” Sarah notes. Their ultimate goal is to curate quality pieces that allow a room to speak for itself. “When you try to fight the architecture, it never really works out,” Sarah adds. They also boast a love of Pop art, Expressionism and the style of Marie Antoinette, which inspires their work.

Saba’s oil-and-acrylic-on-canvas piece, titled Petals, provides a striking backdrop behind the Carrara marble desk in the sisters’ Houston studio (left); the bench is a custom piece for a client. Greeting cards (above) are part of the growing Veritas line by Sarah, whose talents also include graphic design.
In lieu of trends, however, Saba and Sarah adhere to the motto: Buy well, not often. “Whether I purchase something for my home or my closet, I want to keep it for years to come,” Sarah says. “That also applies to our line of products.” The pair conceptualized their Jaw[Line] collection of furnishings, now with more than 50 pieces, during college 10 years ago. The collaboration evolved naturally, and in 2009, they began designing under one umbrella, with their varied interests—Saba studied architecture and interior design; Sarah earned a degree in advertising, public relations and marketing—resulting in perfect harmony. “We definitely push and inspire each other,” says Sarah. “Being so different is a reason
LX_TX43_SM_Jawda.indd 203
we work so well together. We know our strengths and weaknesses.” As a team, Sarah and Saba seem to embody a yin and yang, complementing each other in a way very similar to that of their favorite color pairing. “Black and white, in both dress and design, has always been the most timeless of combinations,” says Sarah. Given their continuous quest for inspiration, ability to push boundaries and penchant for designing spaces and products that look better with time, it’s safe to say their partnership will have a similar staying power. “Great style definitely gives a person confidence, edge and drive, yet comfort is also key,” Saba says. “It’s all about balance.”

his home is all about the lake lifestyle,” says principal architect James LaRue, describing the rectilinear structure he designed for clients on a tree-lined street facing Lake Austin. “It’s almost like a resort.” The homeowners—real estate entrepreneurs with three daughters—are longtime friends with the parcel’s former owner and quickly scooped up the coveted waterfront property when it became available. “We enjoy wakesurfing, paddleboarding and jet skiing,” the husband explains, adding they wanted their new home to strike a balance between comfortable and modern. Because local building codes forbid removing trees of a certain size, LaRue began by designing the L-shaped structure around the site’s mature pecan trees. Limestone and smooth acrylic stucco cover the home’s main body, while the second story is clad with zinc panels. A cantilevered roofline adds another dimension and
_LX_TX43_HOM_Contine_14.indd 207
shades the poolside patios. “This building could have overwhelmed the site, so we tried to break down its mass,” says LaRue, who worked with project architect Rez Lankerani. Like the exterior, the interiors combine modern and natural elements in reference to the lakeside setting. A custom-stained oak-paneled cabinet system conceals hidden storage in the main living areas, including along the open steel-and-glass staircase and in the couple’s office. “It took a village to figure out every single detail and how everything transitions,” says interior designer Kelle Contine, who collaborated with project designer Erin Judge. For example, Contine shared CAD files with LaRue’s office and even joined builder Matt Shoberg and the owners in meetings with both Steel House MFG and millworker Joseph Zambarano of Sea Hill Custom MFG to coordinate the custom stair railing and millwork, respectively.
In the living room, Sahar Carpets’ Fresco rug from Black Sheep Unique complements Kevin Greer art from Metropolitan Gallery.

The faceted pendant with mirrored finish is by Pallucco and from Scott + Cooner; flooring is by Woodwright Hardwood Floor Company.
For continuity, wood also appears in the kitchen, where a custom-stained oak border lining the cabinetry contrasts with the modern white lacquer finish as well as the marble mosaic backsplash inlaid with a mix of clear and smoked glass squares. “While it doesn’t have color,” Contine says, “the smoky mirror creates shadows and depth.” In the office, grayed glass also appears on the new top of a desk base and on the sliding, contemporary barn-style door. Matching chartreuse chairs introduce a splash of color. “They add a fun pop and another layer,” Contine says. Elsewhere, Contine incorporated calmer shades reminiscent of the home’s tranquil surroundings. An aqua

silk-and-wool rug in the living room creates a soothing canvas for a sleek sectional sofa and a sculptural swivel chair. When the area’s large lift-and-slide doors open, the space unifies seamlessly with the exterior patios around the elevated swimming pool. “It creates a viewing plaza that buffers you from the landscape,” LaRue says. “You don’t see the grass, so it fools the eye into thinking the water comes all the way up to the house.” The surroundings also factored into the processes of building and landscaping. Faced with a high water table that would eventually erode a standard foundation, Shoberg brought in a diesel-powered machine to drive more than

100 steel pilings deep into the earth below the water. “It’s a cast-in-place, pile-supported concrete foundation with piles seated in bedrock,” he says, noting building near the lake requires specific construction techniques. “While the pool and home foundations are integrated, there is a gap between them that funnels water out into the landscape and keeps it out of the foundation.” Likewise, landscape architect John Hall, working with his company president, Rick Scheen, incorporated plants that would tolerate the high water table and rainy weather and designed drainage pipes that jog around the natural dams created by the cypress tree roots. “We worked diligently to preserve the critical roots, as required by Austin’s tree regulations,” Hall says. “Plus, they add real value to the property.” Construction project manager Ann Akiu installed a mix of grasses and several non-native plantings such as Creeping Jenny and fragrant white star jasmine, which balance the darker surrounding foliage. “We created a newer look by borrowing from several plant palettes,” Hall says. With the goal of bringing the clients’ vision to life, the team developed their own arrangement of plants based on the owners’ taste to create an aesthetic that was unique to their new home. Inside and out, the residence maintains a modern feel while remaining comfortable and complementing its natural setting—a feat achieved through the close collaboration of everyone involved. “It’s a fairly modern building, and the warm materials make it a very livable house,” LaRue says. To celebrate the success and completion of the multiyear project, the homeowners hosted a housewarming dinner for the entire design team. “It was our way of saying thank you and celebrating this beautiful home they all had a hand in creating,” the wife says. “There was a beautiful harmony of all these great minds coming together to design this space.”

f home is where the heart is, a dwelling should reflect its owners’ passions and proclivities. However, carrying out that sentiment typically takes time, as designer Selena Mackay experienced during a renovation she and builder Matt Stassi undertook in Houston. The project was years in the making, and although both homeowners hoped to give the traditional Georgian a more contemporary demeanor, “he wanted clean lines, industrial materials and a spare aesthetic, while she was going for chic and eclectic,” Mackay says. As an initial step, architect of record Michael Dreef of Eubanks Group Architects completed the first round of plans. The project was then put on hold but revived two years later and assigned to Dreef’s colleague at the time, residential designer Brandon Breaux, who then kicked it back to Dreef after leaving to start his own firm, Brandon Breaux Design. Both embraced the same strategy. “One of the goals was to keep the exterior aesthetic original, so any additions would be seamless, while giving the interior a current and timeless solution,” Dreef explains. Breaux adds, “We didn’t specify details, so nothing would be dated.” Removing moldings and walls to create expansive open spaces also made the home feel more modern. With the broad strokes in place, the couple hired Stassi, who has since started his own company, River Construction, to mastermind a complete renovation down to the studs. Given just the floor plans and elevations for doors and windows, the builder drove the project. “We needed to do everything, from finding the right trades and artisans to picking and sourcing all the materials, finishes, fixtures and furnishings,” he says. Major gestures included building an addition over the garage, overhauling the kitchen, adding a pool and a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen and incorporating Stassi’s idea halfway through the project for a wine room, a job completed in collaboration with Brian Crawmer of Agile Ofis, who provided Dirtt frameless glass walls and sliding-glass double doors.

Below, left: Designer Selena Mackay gilded and wired Z Gallerie candleholders to complement the Lindsey Adelman from Kuhl-Linscomb chandelier above the dining table, placing them on the wall to flank artwork by Iñaki Lazkoz. Eleana Moeller hand-applied the lacquered walls using custom Sherwin-Williams paint inspired by Chanel’s Blue Boy nail polish. Below, right: The bar area mixes a backsplash and cabinetry—installed and fabricated by builder Matt Stassi—with Lagos Azul limestone countertops from Omni Surfaces. The reflection reveals the wine room, featuring Dirtt frameless glass walls and sliding-glass double doors by Agile Ofis.

Segreto Finishes customized the loungeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Venetian-plaster walls, punctuated by Holly Hunt fabricclad draperies. J. Randall Powers sofas in Rose Tarlow Melrose House fabric from David Sutherland join a coffee table from Area and an end table from Blue Print. The fireplace surround by Gunnells Concrete Designs showcases an Andy Warhol screen print from Sothebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The tulip-style table is from Again & Again.

It didn’t take long for Stassi to realize they needed a designer to help make selections that would “be stylish, enduring, kid-proof and smart,” the builder says. So he tapped Mackay, who he speculated understood the wife’s style. “Matt called and said, ‘I have a client with great taste, and I know you can help her figure out what she wants,’ ” recalls Mackay, who worked with associate designer Larissa Loveless. From the first meeting, Mackay began decoding the homeowner. “She wore a chic tweed jacket and cowboy boots and used terms such as, ‘Moroccan and modern’ and ‘vintage, contemporary and classic with a twist,’ ” the designer remembers. With those points in mind, Mackay decided to create contrasts, with a focus on being “kicky, colorful and out of the box,” she says. She officially won over the homeowners with a rendering of the dining room, which exuded her approach. “The homeowner saw it and said, ‘You totally get me. Let’s do it,’” Mackay says with a laugh.

To anchor the dining space, Mackay introduced sleek neutrals—namely a clean-lined custom Carrara-marbleand-stainless-steel dining table, curvaceous barrel dining chairs sheathed in gently distressed cowhide and a vintage midcentury ebonized breakfront the couple already owned— and then amped it up with shimmering navy-lacquered walls, a luminous bronze Lindsey Adelman chandelier and a custom-made wallcovering on the ceiling the designer dreamed up using an image by photographer Richard Bettinger magnified 2,500 times. In addition to the dining room, Mackay and Stassi tackled every inch of the residence, translating the homeowners’ diverse influences into seamless yet intriguing spaces. When they were stymied, the builder always seemed to have solutions, prompting the wife to print shirts for the team with the slogan, “Keep calm and let Matt handle it.” An example is the 8,000 square feet of hand-scraped

Opposite: The reading room radiates color with Phillip Jeffries’ African Raffia wallpaper in Turks & Caicos Orange from David Sutherland. Oushak rugs from Creative Flooring and draperies featuring Duralee fabric impart a Moroccan aesthetic. The end table is from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. Below: Lozano Upholstery updated the reading room’s vintage settee in Manuel Canovas embroidered linen from Culp Associates. A nearby sitting area features a custom armless sofa—covered in a Castel linen blend with a Schumacher silk-velvet trim—and vintage Lucite tables from Lynn Goode Vintage. A vintage bench from Shabby Slips and a mirror from the homeowners’ collection appear in the hallway.

INSPIRATION FOUND
NORTHERN PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER
WE ARE COMMEMORATING THE YEAR’S BITTER MONTHS BY EMBRACING THE NATURAL MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SEASON. REMINISCENT OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS VISIBLE IN THE ARCTIC, THE PIECES FOUND ON THIS PAGE TOGETHER SHOW THAT STYLE MAKERS ARE TAKING THEIR CUES FROM THE WORLD’S GLACIAL LANDSCAPES AND CRAFTING ETHEREAL PRODUCTS THAT WILL REMAIN COOL WELL BEYOND WINTER’S LAST SNOWFALL.
