EDITOR’S LETTER
O
Pamela Jaccarino, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino
PORTRAIT: JOSHUA MCHUGH.
f the many experiences that shaped me when I was a young girl, becoming a Girl Scout was one of them. I started as a Brownie at the age of 7 before earning enough badges on my vest, and years of service, to graduate to full Scout. It wasn’t so much the selling of cookies or the camaraderie of being part of a girl troop that left an indelible mark. Rather, it was an outing ... my first hike in the woods. I remember it vividly. Being on the trail in a heavily wooded area on Long Island’s North Shore. The crisp air; the sound of my boots crunching the leaves as we all trotted in unison along the footpath; the texture of the tree bark and the way the sunlight dappled through. I absolutely loved it (truth be told, team sports were not my thing). To this day, my favorite outdoor activity is still a long hike in the woods. In this issue, we celebrate outdoor living in all its glory. Our editors take you from the beach to the tennis courts and also through some stunning gardens and bucolic grounds. As the Scouts always say, “Be prepared.”

EVOLUTION
INFLUENCED BY THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS, STATE-SIDE AND ABROAD, FIVE CREATIVES ARE EVOLVING THE DEFINITION OF AMERICANMADE FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES. WRITTEN BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE
W
hether their styles are historically referential or avant-garde, independent makers across the country offer a quality of design and innovation that stands on its own—one that speaks to a distinct spirit and pride of being locally produced and manufactured. These talents hail from different backgrounds and work within varying mediums, but share common ideals about craftmanship and artisanal values, which are redefining what it means to be American made.
Inspired by the great American woodworker, furniture maker and architect George Nakashima, Jonah Meyer designed Sawkille Co.’s Minna chair (left), Rainbow chair (right) and Orbit table (bottom left) with form and function in mind.
▲ SAWKILLE
Growing up in rural Pennsylvania with parents who were both involved in the arts, Jonah Meyer was drawn to a profession involving artistry and craftsmanship. Surrounded by a traditional landscape and instilled with a hands-on approach during his childhood, Meyer found himself continually crafting something new and often practical. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1993, he moved to the Catskills, opened a studio—which later became Sawkille Co.—and began making chairs, a self-admitted obsession. “It was always something I did on the side, and I consider it the ultimate challenge,” says Meyer. “Chair mechanics should balance cool design and ergonomics.” Working primarily with wood out of his Kingston, New York, studio, his process is as uncomplicated as the raw materials he uses by steering clear of computer programs and opting to sketch ideas the old-fashioned way. Next, he works with whatever is available at his fingertips—often plywood— to make his prototypes. Multiply this practice by five or six until the designer believes he’s landed on something “equally artistic and comfortable.” Adding his own twist to distinctly American styles, Meyer hopes his designs capture something original that people will recognize as his own. “It can be tough to produce at this level in the United States,” he says. “So, it’s really exciting to know that people think we are doing something interesting.”

MISSOULA, MONTANA Since his childhood, the Montana landscape has influenced John Greytak’s life journey. As a boy taking breaks from working on his family’s farm during the summer months, he would explore and scour the surrounding lands rife with natural elements. Fast forward to when Greytak was decorating his Montana lodge, he accompanied his designer to Tucson’s gem and mineral show where his love for the craft was rekindled, and his passion for a larger artistic purpose brought about the birth of Studio Greytak. “In elevating
these minerals and geodes to take a prominent place in homes, people can further appreciate the beauty nature provides,” says Greytak. All rare materials are sourced from six continents and brought to Missoula, where his team curates each gem to incorporate into furniture, objets and jewelry. After local artisans craft the accompanying metal, wood and glass pieces, the components return to the studio where they are assembled into “functional art.” Greytak’s greatest source of pride: “We are crafting these heirloomquality pieces in Montana—one of the most beautiful and inspiring places in our country.”

A modern-day textile couturier, Maki Yamamoto is known for her highly specialized work using sumptuous fabrics as her canvas. When studying fashion design at the renowned Bunka Fashion College in her home city of Tokyo, Japan, Yamamoto found herself simultaneously immersed in painting and drawing, passions which led her to seek further artistic training at the National Academy School of Fine Arts in New York City. “I always enjoyed fashion, art and design, so I wanted to do something where I could mix these together,” says the designer. And in 2003, she did just that—she merged her work as an artist and fashion designer by artfully embellishing luxury textiles with painterly motifs, modern embroidery, contemporary appliqués and handstitched details to adorn furnishings, lighting pieces, bed linens, drapery, pillows and art installations for her high-end interior design clientele. While her Japanese design background and penchant for traveling have played a large role in her work thus far, she also finds herself deeply moved by the long legacy of American craftsmanship. “I am very impressed by the extremely talented furniture and textile makers in the United States,” says Yamamoto. “Their techniques and passion inspire me greatly.”

▲ JOSEPH PAGANO
HUDSON VALLEY, NEW YORK “To me, the tradition of hard work to create something beautiful without taking shortcuts defines what it means to be American made,” says lighting designer and fabricator Joseph Pagano. Pagano’s studio and workshop in Hudson Valley, New York, where every element of his lighting designs, including the pieces’ fittings and hardware, is made
in-house, poignantly speaks to that belief. Upon graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a degree in industrial design, Pagano moved to New York City and enrolled in a glassblowing class at The Experimental Glass Workshop, now known as UrbanGlass, and was immediately hooked. “The physicality of the material—the heat, the moving of the molten—and the endless possibilities really drew me in,” says the designer. Pagano’s latest
collection is influenced by the color, shapes and textures of nature, and his intention is to produce extraordinary lighting pieces that double as artwork. For the designer, years of experience has not only brought an advanced artistry of his craft and a full-scale workshop, but also a confidence in his creative instinct. “After 30 years, creativity flows out of me without interruption,” says Pagano. “There is no second guessing anymore; it is very rewarding.”
⊲ ESTUDIO PERSONA Emiliana Gonzalez and Jessie Young, the duo behind Estudio Persona, were only acquaintances when they lived in their home country of Uruguay. Little did they know that a move to the United States, both for their husbands’ work in film, would solidify their bond as creative compatriots. Gonzalez was originally trained as a product designer and Young as a conceptual artist, and after two years of working as interior designers together, the pair decided to morph their partnership into one that capitalized on both their disciplines and a shared passion for creating products. Informed by the brutalist architecture of its owners’ native country, Estudio Persona’s pieces are sculptural and muted in color, which helps to highlight the studio’s blending of raw and unexpected materials, such as metal and leather. Many of the local Los Angeles artisans that help fabricate Estudio Persona’s pieces are immigrants themselves, and this provides an enormous sense of satisfaction for Gonzalez and Young. “For us, it’s much bigger than just our work; it’s a human service,” says Young. “It’s amazing to produce products that support our local and diverse community.”

GOOD FOLK-INSPIRED DESIGN FLOURISHES IN TODAY’S DIGITALLY DRIVEN CULTURE. WRITTEN BY ALLISON MCCARTHY
Artisan. Small-batch. Handcrafted. From food to furniture, we’re intrigued by origin stories and desire a personal stamp on what we purchase. American folk art exemplifies these qualities; it’s emblematic of heritage and a homespun, handmade quality. Interestingly, in this hyper-fast age, we’re seeing its enduring design return to the scene. “The revival of American folk, just like the resurgence of the maker movement, is rooted in the desire for authenticity and story,” says Pamela Kelly, vice president of licensing and brand management for the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Artists and designers have been influenced by folk themes throughout the decades—from Picasso’s paintings inspired by African tribal masks and last year’s exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum in New York exploring quilts as living records of history to the recent partnership between Cassina and Calvin Klein. For the collaboration, Cassina debuted a limited run of its iconic Feltri chairs upholstered with heirloom Amish quilts. Raf Simons, the chief creative officer at Calvin Klein, refers to the chairs as a “cultural correspondence,” where modern design meets a symbol of American culture. Folk-inspired designs are not only a way to preserve traditions and cultures, but also a means to pause, reflect and reconnect to a slower, more intentional way of life in today’s fast-paced world.
larsentextiles.com
“People are taking the time to appreciate attention to detail, embrace the handmade, and honor the voices of American folk crafts,” says Rachel Doriss, design director of Pollack Studio. For its spring 2018 Undaunted Collection, Pollack partnered with Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art to create 11 fabrics inspired by pieces from the institution’s extensive textile archive. Each Undaunted pattern features original elements reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Text Message, for example, was inspired by 19th-century samplers used to practice embroidery. “Our take is a woven sampler with letters and motifs using weaving terms,” says Doriss. “From afar, it looks like a sample, but up close, there are hidden messages and even emojis.” Artist and designer Kiva Motnyk founded New York City’s Thompson Street Studio with a similar philosophy. Inspired by the tactile quality inherent in folk art, her modern application of traditional textile techniques—weaving, knitting, quilting—helps keep crafting traditions alive. “It’s inevitable in a technological society that people will return, from time to time, to what is personal and authentic,” she says. Excited to see the revival of folk-inspired design in homes imbued with a new energy and vision, Motnyk thinks it’s a natural way for artists to collaborate and share their cultural histories as creatives working in America. For his modern Americana-style interiors, Portland-based designer Max Humphrey pulls in folk-inspired elements to infuse personality into spaces using pottery, tramp art frames and quilts that lend character and context to otherwise neutral backdrops. “Folk has a broad appeal because people are inspired by things made by hand right here in America,” he says. “It’s timeless because it’s symbolic.” In a sense, folk-inspired design is a tool to communicate and preserve stories of craftspeople and communities from the past in a way that’s relevant to our current culture—and that never goes out of style.

HEATH CERAMICS AND SHERRILL MANUFACTURING TEAM UP BRINGING SOPHISTICATED FLATWARE TO THE TABLE.
WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFFERY CROSS
There is something to be said for finding the right fit, especially when it comes to honoring a design brand’s legacy. So, when the Sausalito, California-based ceramics and home goods company Heath Ceramics was looking for an American manufacturer to round out its tabletop offerings with its first-ever flatware line, it discovered exactly who to turn to: Sherrill Manufacturing. “We have a deep affinity for companies with heritage and for those remaining when all others have gone elsewhere,” says Heath Ceramics co-owner Robin Petravic of Sherrill.
Sherrill, founded by Matt Roberts and Greg Owens in New York in 2005, is now the only flatware brand making its products in the United States—an enormous source of pride for its founders. “We grew up in this community,” Roberts says. “And we’re survivors.” Despite the nearly 3,000-miles between the two companies, “we walked hand-in-hand down the path together,” he remarks. The result is a five-piece cutlery collection called Muir, the first of three flatware designs by Heath Ceramics (the last two lines are set to launch later this year). The pieces—two forks, two spoons and a knife—honor both brands’ history and devotion to American craftsmanship by showcasing a timeless and humble design with smooth edges, elegant lines and a satisfying grip. Heath Ceramics and Sherrill challenged each other’s perceived limits of manufacturing and design, producing a collection that reflects its shared values and honest spirit committed to craft. “It’s not just about design—it’s also about respect for materials,” says Heath’s Studio Director Tung Chiang, who collaborated with Roberts on the collection. Through their partnership, Chiang learned of Sherrill’s nearly 20-step manufacturing process and the significance of a special tool: a tumbling
To create its new Muir flatware line, Heath Studio Director Tung Chiang first sketched the pieces and then carved wooden models, which Sherrill Manufacturing reproduced in metal (above). Historical designs and vintage flatware samples adorn a wall in Sherrill’s archive room (top).
mechanism built by the company that lends a distinct matte finish to the pieces. The Muir Collection, available in polished or tumbled finishes, was designed to accompany Heath Ceramics’ founder Edith Heath’s original Coupe dinnerware designs—another nod to an enduring legacy.

Pattern and repetition have long captivated Phoenix artist Denise Yaghmourian, whose multimedia works range from geometric shapes wrapped in textiles and embellished with thread to delicate hanging installations crafted from feathers. Represented by both Bentley Gallery in Phoenix and Bogéna Galerie in Scottsdale, Yaghmourian’s striking work will be part of a show at the Mesa Arts Center through April 21. deniseyaghmourian.com What inspires you? Patterns in nature, math and science, the brain, and life and relationships. The intersection of natural and man-made designs is a recurring theme in my work, and I seek to merge naturally occurring patterns with my own creations. Describe your fiber pieces. Most of my fiber work utilizes hooks and eyelets on fabric and thread as the essential mediums. I use the fabric and eyelets as a first layer of the piece, much like gesso on a canvas, then I weave threadwork patterns through the eyelets. Tell us about a recent commission. David Michael Miller was working with Bentley Gallery to select art for a collection, and when he saw my installation at the gallery, he asked me to create artwork specific to the home. I made a large piece from goose feathers twirled into circular forms and cable ties. It comprises three cocoon-shaped vessels that vary in size. What direction is your art taking? I’m currently working on a series of large thread-pattern wall hangings. I’m enjoying how the pattern work is becoming more and more intricate and involved. 100 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Completed in 1983, Surrounded Islands (shown) stands as one of the most poignant public works of the century; the pair wrapped 11 islands in Miami’s Biscayne Bay with floating pink polypropylene fabric. The work spanned 7 miles and could be seen from land, water and air, boldly displaying the impact of man-made creations on the aquatic world.

Photographer, sculptor and land artist Robert Smithson was fascinated with the concept of landscape as art. Spiral Jetty, one of his most well-known works, is 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide, and composed of 7,000 tons of mud, salt crystals and basalt rocks. Constructed in 1970 and configured in a counterclockwise spiral in Great Salt Lake, Utah, Smithson’s work is still intact today. Seen here in a photograph taken by David Burdeny in 2017, this formation is an artful reminder of the significance of preservation in art and nature.

Located along Interstate 15 in Nevada, Seven Magic Mountains is not your run-of-the-mill roadside attraction. Set amongst a scenic landscape of mountains, desert and Jean Dry Lake, the grouping of seven 30- to 35-foot totems enveloped in dayglow hues can be seen for miles. According to Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, the particular location of the work, along the highway connecting Los Angeles and Las Vegas, is physically and symbolically significant of the relationship between the natural and man-made.

LLOYD FLANDERS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
Lloyd Flanders offers 23 distinct collections in a broad range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether a luxury-scale sectional or porch swing, there’s something for every outdoor space. While different regions of the country follow different trends, Lloyd Flanders’ furniture stays consistent with three key elements common in every design: timelessness, comfort and functionality. “Our furniture is built to last, and to be used as much as possible,” president and CEO Dudley Flanders says. Central to this is Flanders’ proprietary Lloyd Loom wicker—a natural-fiber wicker that features long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility. Thus, the furniture withstands full exposure to the elements—sun, rain, even snow—with minimal maintenance. “Vacuum or use a soft brush on woven material and cushions to remove organic material and loosen surface soil, then rinse with a mild detergent and clean water; it’s that simple,” says Warren Juliano, senior vice president of sales and marketing, regarding the line’s trademark ease of care.
INSPIRATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration at the touch of their fingertips. This has created a desire for customization, from mixing and matching materials to unique fabrics and finishes. Our Lloyd Loom products are available in 19 finishes and over 400 fabrics, so the digital age has really helped boost our business.
1. The Hamptons chaise, shown in White, comes in many finishes: Almond, Antique White, Charcoal, Chocolate, Ebony, Ivory, Platinum, Sage and others. 2. The clean lines and comfort-scale seating of the Catalina Collection, here in Hickory, create an effortless home oasis. 3. The Mesa Collection, made of woven vinyl, is shown here in a Pecan finish.

SURPRISING REQUESTS Believe it or not, some of the most popular client-driven requests when it comes to outdoor spaces today include motion pieces. Rockers, swivels and even recliners have grown in popularity over the years. 2

SITTING PRETTY
When designer Ariella Duker of A-List Interiors bought 10 1/2 acres in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, she didn’t imagine that months of building delays on the property’s main home would mean designing the pool house first. “The estate is beautiful in the summer months,” Duker notes, so the pool area quickly became the focus. While originally the design of this space had been simpler and more seasonal, the structure is now built for year-round use and features a sophisticated scheme with an elegant kitchen for entertaining as well as a boho bath that adds to the eclectic feel. alistinteriors.com We love the global influence. The design and decoration certainly have a European flair: from the boxwoods and espalier trees framing the outside of the stucco structure to the antiques inside I’ve amassed over time. I like to think of this as country French in upstate New York. Even the bathroom feels international! I wanted the pool house to be both grand and casual at once.
How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych. The small but mighty kitchen holds a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Monogram ice maker and Shaws Original sink by Rohl. Walker Zanger tile decorates the floor of the bathroom. 168 / LUXESOURCE.COM

The bathroom is such a jewel box. Where did you begin with this space? I fell in love with a salvaged door from a Moroccan riad and knew it would work perfectly for the bathroom entrance. From there, it was about mixing this distressed piece with a more high-style mosaic tile on the floors. While this room is small, it covers everything you need and encourages people to not go traipsing through the main house in wet bathing suits.

THE LATEST DESIGN TRENDS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LANDSCAPE INTO AN OUTDOOR OASIS.
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE AND MARY ORE
GREEN ESCAPE A garden is a manifestation of its creator, reflecting one’s personality and passions. Just like how architectural elements, such as coffered ceilings or moldings, are added to interiors to reflect an owner’s style, the same attention to detail should be given to exterior spaces. Components of outdoor architecture—walls, paths, pergolas, gates, lighting, furnishings, waterworks and art—together form the backbone of a well-designed estate. Whether your preferred aesthetic is a well-kept topiary garden using traditional plantings or a freespirited mélange of natural flora, there are various structural elements—fabricated and organic—that contribute to properly planned greenery. Exuberant or contemplative, these spaces prove that inspiring architecture extends well beyond the walls of the home and into the great outdoors.

Pavilions are an alternative way to provide shelter or act as an ornamental feature in landscape design. Unlike a typical gazebo, deconstructed structures with an exposed architectural framework, like this wrought-iron pavilion designed by architect Douglas Wright, who worked with LaGuardia Design Group and landscape designer Edwina von Gal, offers formality while allowing clear views to the Southampton, New York, property’s surrounding dogwood trees, Myrtle ground cover and a shallow reflecting pool. laguardiadesigngroup.com

SPHERE of INFLUENCE
Drawing on materials long favored by architects as well as artists, including stainless steel, copper, bronze and stone, British sculptor David Harber creates dazzling artworks that react to and engage with their natural setting. Geometric pieces include Matrix (right), created from bronze hoops and inset with decorative plates of 23 3/4-karat gold. Dark Planet (far right) features an assemblage of hundreds of irregularly shaped puddle stones—“raw nature transformed to geometry,” the sculptor notes. davidharber.com
“A bench is a principal element to organize an outdoor space, making a garden into a room,” says McKinnon and Harris cofounder Anne Massie, who, with her brother, Will, turned to some of the company’s earliest designs, inspired by the Regency style, to create this Otey four-seater piece. The graceful diamond lattice back carries hints of chinoiserie, and the white hue offers a bright contrast to surrounding greenery. “There are so many ephemeral things in a garden, and a bench, like architecture, is the one thing that is unchanging,” says Will. mckinnonharris.com

WIT AND WHIMSY
PYRAMID POWER Inspired by an 18th-century folly in Yorkshire by English architect John Carr, known for his imposing Palladian structures, the Needle’s Eye rises from a pond at Winterthur’s entrance. Like the sandstone original—designed to settle a wager about whether the Second Marquess of Rockingham could drive his coach through the eye of a needle—the floating pyramid features an ogee door and is topped with a finial in the shape of an urn.
⊳ TURKISH DELIGHT The influence of the Turkish Empire on English decorative arts coincided with the fashion for follies, resulting in exotic structures such as this bright pink tent. Fabric with hand-stitched details and a block-print pattern encloses a cozy interior full of plush seating—the perfect shelter from rainfall during a ramble through the grounds. Winterthur’s original owner, the late collector and designer Henry Francis du Pont—who helped Jacqueline Kennedy renovate the White House—developed the gardens on the 1,000-acre estate in the early 20th century and incorporated various follies into his plans.
RUSTIC REFUGE ⊲ For a simple summer house, massive American beech stump pillars support a bundled beech twig roof, all from trees on the estate. Grapevine and bittersweet vine serve as rafters, while stacked slices of birch stumps form an appealing pattern on an interior wall. Inspired by a folly at The Royal Gardens at Highgrove, the retreat of Prince Charles, this wee picturesque structure is totally green.

TAKE shelter
In his first book, The Art of Outdoor Living, California-based landscape designer Scott Shrader showcases the bucolic grounds of 12 properties as extensions of the homes they surround. Shrader shares his tips for creating inviting alfresco spaces. shraderdesign.com What qualities should every outdoor area have? With seating, lighting and shelter, a garden can become another environment for living and entertaining. Typically, people feel most comfortable when they have some form of covering overhead, such as a steel trellis or a grid of old olive trees (shown above). Why is that? It is often overlooked as commonplace, but the much-needed shade produced by a tree’s branches provides its visitors with a sense of warmth and protection. Any specific tricks to share? Wherever there is seating, I make sure it faces a beautiful view.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
To create the ultimate dramatic entrance, landscape architect Jarrod Ryan Baumann incorporated more than 2,800 succulents into a glorious vertical teak garden gate that opens to a Bay Area residence. The composition—an eye-catching arrangement of varietals in a range of shades and textures—blurs the line between nature and architecture in an innovative way. “Our designs tend to be very architectural,” notes Baumann, who used the gate to set the tone for the architecture and greenery within. “We see the landscape as both a structure and piece of land that we sculpt into something brilliant.” zeterre.com
9HOT seats
Believed to have been carried over from Buddhist garden tradition of using natural elements like tree stumps as seats, garden stools have been a part of the Chinese furniture tradition for 1,000 years. Handmade of ceramic using old-master finishes and techniques, the Durian Garden stool (right) and Magnolia stool (far right) are both hand-glazed and uniquely feature a range of decorative motifs like foo dogs, magnolia blooms and simulated nailheads. Not only do they provide great versatility as a side table or extra seating, but they also add that much-needed pop of color or texture to any interior or exterior space. dennisandleen.com

PASSION PROJECT
When landscape architect Janice Parker was given the opportunity to reinvigorate Altracraig, a historic estate in Ridgefield, Connecticut, initially designed by Ellen Shipman, one of the most accomplished garden designers of the early 20th century, it was an opportunity she couldn’t refuse. Here, Parker gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her work on this historical space. janiceparker.com With your passion for history, this project seems like a natural fit. I’ve always been inspired by the long line of creative and hardworking American female landscape architects who were innovators and trailblazers, especially Ellen Shipman, who broke the mold. She was a single mother from a less affluent background compared to others in her field. What was your vision for the estate? My client’s overarching goal was to preserve the historical nature of this property and return it to its earliest grandeur. With few existing records of the original garden and only one image from a postcard, I let Shipman’s design principles be my guide while adding my own modern perspective. Where did you begin? Working with architect Sean O’Kane, certain structural items, like the balustrade (shown above) and lower fountain, were restored to acknowledge the traditional architectural elements. In addition to the lush geometry and vibrant colors that define the plantings, I followed Shipman’s landscape principle of “enclosing” the space to make it similar to a garden room. Using hedges, necklaces of large trees and arches, I tried to weave in that classic sense of garden enclosures. How do you want visitors to experience the space? With the garden’s historical charm, versatile functionality and contemporary design, I want people to feel the magic of blending the past, present and future together, and not really know where they are.
All of our work reflects our passion — to foster rich and exquisite outdoor experiences for our clients. Every property is unique and we begin the design process with an understanding of the existing terrain, the surrounding architecture and the needs of our client. Our experienced team of designers, craftsman, gardeners, arborists and horticulture experts bring their knowledge, talents and dedication to each project, inception to completion.

Where does landscape architect Margaret Joplin’s unique skill set lie? “In finding the thread of design that floats through a project,” she says. “It can be color, style, texture or form.” From there, it’s the appreciation of every detail and material. Joplin runs Tucson-based Design Collaborations, where she and husband Michael apply their aptitude for seeing the big picture of a design to not only transform the landscape, but to also see possibilities for their handmade glassworks. No matter the scope of the project, Margaret begins by listening, asking questions and developing a relationship with the client. “A large part of any design, especially outdoors, is solving problems and creating moments,” she shares. “Shade, seating and lighting are essential points in this process, as are the homeowner’s specific requests. My job is to offer options and provide information about those options.”
We meld fragility and solidity, transparency and opacity, to create tactile beauty.
ADORN THE OPEN AIR A hallmark of Design Collaborations is the jewellike glass forms Michael and Margaret custom-make. Using the age-old technique of lost-wax casting, they create everything from large, lighted sculptural cairns to totems, for private gardens and urban spaces alike. “We blend industrial, decorative, artistic and traditional bead forms,” Michael says. “The play of glass and light is magical too. Placing our glassworks in sunlight or incorporating LED fixtures transforms them further.”

In the realm of architecture and design in Arizona, one might suggest that life imitates nature. Rich topography, warm temperatures and vibrant skies provide immeasurable inspiration for a home, indoors and out. Scottsdale landscape architecture firm Greey|Pickett combines natural Arizonan elements with residential and commercial architecture to create outdoor spaces that are every bit an extension of the interiors. The firm’s partners Russell Greey and Wendell Pickett work cohesively with the client and design team to create a seamless design between interior and exterior. “Using a diverse and eclectic material palette that flows in and out keeps the look visually exciting,” Greey says. Eclectic materials still afford a sense of cohesion if done properly, and creating continuity from space to space is integral to Greey|Pickett. “You always want a cohesive design thread. We often pull interior finishes that will also work with the outdoor elements, which allows the two spaces to blend into one,” Greey shares.
Today’s outdoor living embraces all the amenities and design elements that you find in indoor living.

PRAGMATISM MEETS CREATIVITY “We always start with a throw-all-ideas-on-the-table approach, especially if clients are not completely sure what direction they want to head in,” Greey explains. He suggests beginning with all possibilities, then narrowing down the focus. “Sometimes clients don’t know how to verbalize what they want. We use idea boards, hand drawings and samples to help bring together the client’s vision with what we advise will work best for their needs.”

SUNSET WEST 760.599.1021 | sunsetwestusa.com | @sunsetwestusa
According to Wes Stewart, CEO of Sunset West, today’s homeowner is moving away from matching outdoor furniture sets in favor of separate, yet cohesive and complementary, items. With a product selection boasting resin wicker, aluminum, wrought-iron and teak furnishings, as well as Sunbrella fabrics, Sunset West enables the consumer to tailor each piece to their individual tastes. As for his advice to homeowners beginning an outdoor project, Stewart says, “Do your research. What do you want your completed project to look like and how do you want it to function? Oftentimes, furniture is an afterthought to the contractor and people find themselves settling for a product they can fit into the space, rather than purchasing the product they wanted.” 1
Sunset West was founded on the idea that choice, style, comfort and quality need not be in the stratosphere when it comes to price. 2
OPEN-AIR FURNISHINGS: A CONVERSATION WITH WES STEWART Keys to a well-designed space? Scale and proportion. It should also have furniture in a style commensurate with the surroundings. Favorite product? That’s tough and space-dependent, but right now, my favorite would be our Coronado collection. Tips for proper upkeep? Furniture covers are probably the single best thing you can do for your pieces. The second best would be to dust off your cushions monthly and clean them yearly.

TRADEMARK LANDSCAPE 623.869.7110 | trademarklandscapeaz.com
A dynamic landscape should combine color, texture, form, plants and hardscape elements for an equally aesthetic and engaging outdoor experience. Phoenix-based Trademark Landscape fuses these elements together to create outdoor living areas with considerable indoor appeal. “This is so integral to the overall experience of a home, especially in a warm climate,” shares Peggy De La Garza, cofounder of the company. Highly in demand are outdoor kitchens and ramadas (fully covered roof structures), which exemplify the trend of cooking, eating and entertaining outside. Fire pits continue to top homeowners’ requests, and pet-oriented designs, such as dog runs or cat sanctuaries in the form of sunrooms built into patios, are increasingly popping up in Trademark’s custom project requests. “Our artistic approach to design takes into account a homeowner’s lifestyle and the architectural style of their house to give them something that speaks to who they are and melds with their setting,” De La Garza says.
LANDSCAPES DESIGNED WITH THE LONG-TERM IN MIND “Maintenance can make or break a landscape, especially when it comes to plants,” shares cofounder Larry De La Garza. Keeping plants and trees trimmed, fertilized, watered and orderly is not just about appearance, but also about health and longevity. “Homeowners put a lot of money into their landscapes, so investing a bit more for maintenance goes a long way,” he continues. Also recommended are yearly cleanings of outdoor cushions and weekly wipe-downs of furniture to rid the dust and debris that comes from wind and rain. 1
Well-designed outdoor spaces create opportunities to connect with nature without having to go anywhere.

When the sun sets in Scottsdale, every moment seems like a photo opp. Perhaps that is why Arizonans are experts at turning their outdoor spaces into a second living room or kitchen. “You don’t move to Arizona to hide inside,” shares top Scottsdale realtor Lisa Westcott of The W Group, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s. “Outdoor living is the quintessential draw that pulls thousands of new homeowners to our state every year.” In addition to skies of vivid, vibrant beauty, the greater Scottsdale area is defined by exquisite golf courses, striking architecture and lush greenbelts. “Our incredible sunny weather allows residents to enjoy the outdoors a huge percentage of the year,” Westcott says. A key factor in many of Westcott’s premier properties is that they enhance—if not encourage—the outdoor-centric lifestyle unique to the region. “Arizona’s architectural style is designed to maximize the utility of natural light and clean, fresh air,” she says. “There is now unparalleled attention to indoor-outdoor spaces with enormous windows and doors that open directly to private yards, often creating an uncanny sense of life in a lush desert oasis.”

refined RUSTIC
BRINGING A MODERN SENSIBILITY TO THE MOUNTAINS, A DESIGNER CREATES THE PERFECT VACATION RETREAT FOR AN EXTENDED FAMILY. WRITTEN BY KELLY VENCILL SANCHEZ / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURA MOSS
LUXESOURCE.COM / 207
Right: A Paradise Valley couple tapped designer Laura Kehoe—who masterminded the interiors of their first residence in the valley nearly 10 years ago—to put together a polished mountain getaway with a rustic vibe. Millwork in Dunn-Edwards Paints’ Draw Your Sword lends a traditional note to an upstairs hall, where a bench by the designer is upholstered in Kravet fabric. The sconces are by Arteriors. Opposite: In the living room, Kehoe brought in luxurious textures, upholstering custom sofas and armchairs in velvet and leather to provide a striking counterpoint to the stone chimney and new walnut detailing. She also designed the iron-and-wood chandelier, which was fabricated by Hinkley’s Custom Lighting in Scottsdale.
I
t began as a vision for a mountain getaway, a place that would offer an Arizona couple a mix of quiet and family time. With their children grown and starting families of their own, the idea of a multigenerational retreat took root, and the husband set about scouring listings for a home where everyone could gather for vacations and holidays. Prospects looked dim when his search stretched to two years, and then he saw it: a house on three levels perched near hiking trails and skiing in winter. “It was perfect,” he remembers. Perfect in theory, that is. Built in 1997, the house had the square footage the couple wanted, but the finishes were dated, and the layout needed work. “You had to
have some imagination,” the husband explains. “We walked through and said, ‘We could do this, we could do that.’ ” To make their dreams a reality, he and his wife reached out to designer Laura Kehoe, whom they’d collaborated with previously. The couple’s Paradise Valley residence had been Kehoe’s first commission when she launched her Scottsdale firm in 2010, and she later worked on their Southern California beach house. The designer understands their love of rooms that are traditional with a “kick your feet up” vibe, she says, but this was an opportunity to give them something fresh. “I wanted it to feel different, not like their main home,” says Kehoe, “I wanted them to feel like they were getting away.”

The kitchen, which was part of an interior renovation by architect Anne Sneed and general contractor Ryan McCormick, combines walnut woodwork with counters of honed black-mist granite and Calacatta marble from Arizona Tile, with a backsplash from Marble Systems. The Pindler fabric Kehoe chose for the back of the Bernhardt counter chairs adds a dash of pattern.

Kehoe happens to be very skilled at creating environments that not only complement their inhabitants but have a sense of place. The Paradise Valley residence, with its warm tones and intricate details, set a more formal tone, while in the mountains, “there was a huge importance placed on comfort,” Kehoe says. “This was easy, because with cooler temperatures, we were able to utilize extra soft and cozy fabrics.” Before Kehoe could get to work, architect Anne Sneed began conceptualizing how the interior architecture could meet the needs of the growing family for years to come. She drew up plans for a host of changes that included redesigning the lower level to accommodate an expanded family room, a bar and a bunkroom, as well as enclosing the staircase up to the main level to ensure that noise wouldn’t travel upstairs. General contractor Ryan McCormick joined the team and proposed ways to replace the home’s existing honeycolored woodwork with walnut—a request from the husband. He wrapped the exposed ceiling beams and
trimmed the windows and doors with wide walnut moldings. “Originally, there were standard 3-inch moldings,” McCormick says. “Now they range from 4 to 7 inches, which adds mass and interest.” Reclaimed brick from New York gave the new downstairs bar a pub feel, while silvery-gray barnwood lent rustic character to the adjacent powder room. Upstairs in the kitchen, the dated yellow-pine cabinets and tile counters were replaced with a sophisticated mix of Calacatta marble and honed black granite, walnut and silver-gray cabinetry, and a backsplash of gray ceramic tile. Counter chairs in tones of gray—with solid leather seats and fabric print backs—complete the look. “It’s not a modern home, but it has cleaner elements than we’ve used with these clients,” explains Kehoe. Pointing to the blue-gray millwork used on all three levels, she adds, “That stormy color reminded us of the mountains, but here it’s more ‘mountain modern.’ ” As the bones of the house took shape, Kehoe began selecting a range of fabrics to give the living room depth
For the open-plan dining room, designed to accommodate a large group, Kehoe paired a custom alder table with chairs upholstered in a Ralph Lauren houndstooth wool by Kravet. She also designed the light fixture, fabricated by Hinkley’s Custom Lighting. The painting by Simon Winegar is from Mountain Trails Gallery in Park City, Utah.
A new stair leads to the third-floor guest bedrooms. “Each one was personalized for the clients’ kids and grandkids,” notes the designer, who had the walls throughout painted Dunn-Edwards Paints’ Antique Paper.

and texture, including chesterfield-style armchairs with a rich gray leather frame and contrasting velvet pillows. Plaid wool throw pillows add extra warmth. “We wanted the woodwork to tell the story of the house,” she says. “So, we balanced it with soft fabrics and kept the colors neutral so none of them would overpower the house.” The dwelling sleeps 21, and two bedrooms on the top floor are designed to do double duty for the couple’s children and grandchildren with built-in bunks and king-size beds extending from inviting walnut niches below. For the
bunks, Kehoe and her team specified industrial-steel ladders guaranteed to hold up to wear and tear. “Everything was meant to take a beating,” she says. “It was a very important consideration that we thought through on every single decision—everything had to stand the test of time.” “Laura thought of everything,” says the husband. “We wanted an elegant house, but also a place that people could enjoy and not be afraid to sit on a chair. Here we can be upstairs enjoying a book and the fire, and the kids can be downstairs, and everyone’s happy.”
Opposite: The master bathroom is “light and bright,” says Kehoe, who paired Kallista’s Circe clawfoot tub from Standard Plumbing with a stool from Crate & Barrel. Troy Lighting’s Mercury pendant from Hinkley’s Custom Lighting illuminates the space, which has a Calacatta mosaic floor by Walker Zanger. Below: Another guest room contains a custom leather-tufted bed with Ralph Lauren pillows by Kravet. The linen drapery and shade fabric, which continue the neutral palette found elsewhere in the house, is from Pindler, while the bamboo silk carpet is from Underfoot. “Like their other homes, this place is comfortable and cozy,” says Kehoe. “It’s meant to be lived in.”

INTERIOR DESIGN / BRITANY SIMON, BRITANY SIMON DESIGN HOUSE
W
hen homeowners Lindsey and Levy Erdos dove into designing the interiors of their brand-new house in Scottsdale, they quickly realized they needed help. Between its scale, their two toddlers and Levy’s busy medical practice, they just couldn’t go it alone. “The interior architecture had already been completed when I came on,” says designer Britany Simon, who was recommended to the couple by the daughter of a previous client. “But they wanted to make the design personal and contemporary, so we added more current finishes, statement lighting and changed the cabinetry and hardware. The house is traditional Arizona—stucco, brick and a Spanish-style gate—but you don’t have to emulate that on the inside.” While a contemporary interior was the goal, Simon also knew that “going too modern could feel disjointed,” she explains. “There needs to be balance with the
architecture.” The couple already had ideas about what they wanted—like a dream wine cellar—but most of all they were looking for something different. “New house, new look, fresh start,” says Lindsey, a former intensive care unit nurse and now full-time mom. “We didn’t want anything super flashy that would be out of style in five years. Our goal was modern yet comfortable.” Working with project manager Ginny Rogers, Simon began developing a cohesive and personalized scheme for the home, creating plenty of space for the couple to host friends and family while also adding a gym and a playroom. “They were pretty hands-off and trusting of us,” recalls Simon. “First, we met and played with fabrics and such to establish the design direction, then we had a few more meetings to sign off on things like the custom pieces.” She also devised a neutral base palette that let her bring rich earth tones into the main living spaces and subdued grays and off-whites into the bedrooms.
Opposite: For their new Scottsdale house, a couple with small children enlisted designer Britany Simon to refresh the decor. Among her first steps was to select new lighting fixtures throughout, including the cubist chandelier in the entryway by Visual Comfort. Below: In the living room, Simon paired Crate & Barrel sofas—topped with a mix of pillows in Pindler, Fabricut and Duralee fabrics—with West Elm armchairs. The chandelier, which is Simon’s own design, was manufactured by Hinkley’s Lighting Factory in Phoenix. The bookcase by Stone Creek Furniture is outfitted with Top Knobs hardware from Central Arizona Supply.

A large island anchoring the kitchen— furnished with leather counter stools from West Elm—was part of the original interior architecture by CalAtlantic Homes. The Olive pendants are by Lucent Lightshop. “They’re our favorite part of the room,” says the wife. “We would never have brought brass into the home if it weren’t for Britany.”
Driving the overall design was the first piece they chose—a striking blue-and-white rug to ground the living room. “I like to focus on the biggest, boldest pieces and go from there,” says Simon. “We knew we could nudge them into color and pattern, but that rug was as geometric as they would go.” Cognac-leather chairs and a pair of solid white sofas (one of the few purchases prior to Simon’s arrival) add contrast. Simon carried the living room’s palette into the adjacent kitchen and breakfast nook, where she opted for black-painted dining chairs. “Black stands the test of time and it’s easy to mix with different metals,” Simon observes. “It’s a little edgy, too, and we wanted to make some bolder choices.” Those bold moves continue in the dining room, where Simon hung a modernist bronze chandelier above a 17th-century style table in a weathered-black finish, surrounded by contemporary wing chairs. “They make such a big statement when you walk in the house,” says Lindsey. The room also features a custom tile-and-glass wine cellar. “Levy and I got engaged in Napa Valley, so wine has a special place in our relationship. We were never able to collect before, so it’s been fun filling it up with about 200 bottles!” Another custom addition is a brick-clad game room, which includes a kitchenette and bar and is anchored by an industrial-style pool table. “It’s masculine and funky,” Simon says of the space. “The room is our fun escape at night, and it feels like we’re actually in a bar and not our home,” notes Lindsey. Adding a touch of sparkle is the pendant fixture, which has gold-leaf shades. “It helps bounce the light around,” Simon adds.

A centerpiece by Plantender of Arizona is arranged on the table, which is illuminated by a pendant by Visual Comfort. A jute rug from West Elm grounds the space.

Simon wove in a range of gray and off-white shades in the tranquil master bedroom, which centers around a custom bed with Duralee fabrics and nightstands by Redford House topped with CB2 lamps. On the bed are RH linens, custom pillows in a Schumacher print and a custom lumbar pillow in a fabric by Kravet. Arizona Door and Trim installed the wainscoting.
And while the designer’s lighting choices were key decisions throughout the home, she let natural light inspire the master bedroom. “We love how serene and calming it feels,” says Lindsey. The room’s hazy gray palette is complemented by the abstract landscapes Simon found through Leftbank Art. The designer also created a gallery wall of family portraits in the passage that leads to the room. “I always like to include family photos. There, it’s not showy but more personal—a memory wall.” Outside, the couple took advantage of the view, creating multiple outdoor areas for lounging and entertaining around the pool, including a fire pit and trellised entertaining space. “It’s a family friendly neighborhood, but this house is more secluded than their previous one. They’re away from all the hubbub,” says Simon. “We still say how amazing this house is for us and our family,” adds Lindsey. “We did it right and made it perfect.”

A swimming pool, a trellised entertaining area and a fire pit comprise the versatile backyard, which takes in unobstructed desert views. To furnish the area, Simon chose lounge chairs from California-based Sunset West and pillows from Inside/Out Showrooms.
TRUE LIKENESS IN HIS CAPTIVATING PORTRAITS, A PHOENIX ARTIST REVIVES THE INTENSITY OF THE OLD MASTERS. WRITTEN BY MONIQUE MCINTOSH / PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRANDON SULLIVAN
LUXESOURCE.COM / 229
A study for a painting (below) hangs in the Phoenix studio of artist Larry Madrigal (right), who counts Renaissance portraiture as an important influence. Numerous sketches (bottom) serve as preparation for larger oil-on-canvases, such as those in his studio (opposite).
T
here’s something really powerful about the face,” says artist Larry Madrigal, a Phoenix painter who has been gaining a reputation as a portraitist of uncommon skill and depth. In his oil paintings of family, friends and self, Madrigal combines technical flair with a deep humanity. With his carefully observed and rendered details—tactile skin, emphatic gazes and casual gestures—his work hints at complex lives. “Being able to capture my subjects on the canvas is very special to me,” says the painter. “And there’s so much to learn.” Although he drew his first self-portrait in ink around age 10, Madrigal became enamored with oil portraiture while studying the old masters as an undergrad at Arizona State University, where he’s currently completing his Master of Fine Arts. “There’s a sacredness in those older paintings,” he says. “At their very foundation, there’s this feeling of awe that we’re in this world.” This sense of reverence comes through in all his paintings, including his many self-portraits. In the oil-on-canvas Melancholia, he echoes SelfPortrait by Albrecht Dürer, who, in 1500, daringly depicted himself in a full-frontal pose—then almost exclusively reserved for Christ. Like Dürer, Madrigal confronts his changing face as well as his evolving sense of self. “Growing up MexicanAmerican, I’ve always wrestled with identity,” says Madrigal. “I’m always thinking, ‘Who am I? What’s the essence of me?’ So, I found a kinship with his retrospective questioning of himself.” The artist’s curiosity isn’t only directed inward. When depicting friends and family, “I try to aim for the feeling I get when I see them—something about who they are,” Madrigal says. “It’s not just a likeness.” In his “Sainthood” series, he conducted interviews and photo shoots with his
subjects, all artists and activists “who are using their creativity to better their communities,” he says. The final portraits, rendered in lush detail, sometimes portray the figures with faint halos, referencing classical paintings of saints. “I wanted to depict them in a way that monumentalized and ennobled them,” Madrigal notes. While the artist’s early technical approach was also attuned to the Renaissance—he used undetectable brushwork and thin glazes—lately, he says, “I’ve become interested in retaining evidence of the brushstroke. I want a little more gesture and movement.” Recently, settings have taken on a greater significance in Madrigal’s work. Renaissance painting remains a touchstone, and he keeps a reproduction of Las Meninas by Diego Velázquez in the studio. But instead of the Spanish royal court, the artist memorializes modern life, as with his painting The Madrigals, which shows the painter at his canvas in a corner of a messy room with his wife, Melinda, and their toddler. The painting meditates on the constant “balancing of family and creative life,” notes Madrigal. But the work also insists on marveling at mundane moments. “It’s hard to take that kind of perspective in today’s world,” says Madrigal. “But I believe you can still find wonder.”

“My new work is becoming more narrative based—the space plays a greater role,” says the artist, who included himself painting in a portrait of his family (left). Madrigal prefers oil paint (below) for its longer drying time.
“I’VE BECOME INTERESTED IN RETAINING EVIDENCE OF THE BRUSHSTROKE. I WANT A LITTLE MORE GESTURE AND MOVEMENT.”

N
early 20 years into the new century, myriad design trends have already come and gone: sleigh beds and armoires, and a preponderance of brown—spurred by an embrace of Tuscan style—as well as layers of pillows and throws in deep russets and emeralds. “The style used to be way more opulent with layers of rich colors,” recalls designer Danielle Wallinger, who in 2005 filled a Scottsdale residence— the second home of an Oklahoma couple—with brown leather sofas and an array of jewel-toned accessories. More than a decade later, the homeowners of the DC Ranch domicile were ready for a change. “Everything looked
old and dark,” says the wife, who worked with Wallinger on the home’s first go around. “The original finishes still looked good, but we wanted a lighter, brighter ambience.” In fact, it was the Venetian plaster, onyx and other rich materials that first engaged the couple who spied the house while driving around on a rainy day looking for architectural styles they liked. “The curb appeal was fantastic, and the inside was even better,” says the wife. “It had more custom features than we would have had if we built on our own. We weren’t planning to buy but we decided we had to have it.” The owners turned to Wallinger early on, asking her to start by weighing in on the original interior architecture.
Opposite: Designer Danielle Wallinger updated the interiors of this Scottsdale house she’d decorated more than a decade earlier. An antique door from Spain was retrofitted for the entryway, where a Cantera-stone inset was created from Grand Canyon onyx. A bronze Frederic Remington sculpture rests on a hand-carved console from Mexico. Below: To establish distinct seating areas in the living room, Wallinger arranged a pair of S. R. Drost Custom Furniture sofas back to back. The two modular arrow tables, which were manufactured by Bjorling & Grant, are her own design. Pillows made with Romo and Kravet fabrics from Town add extra texture and pattern.
LUXESOURCE.COM / 237
The timeless design of the existing kitchen, with its hand-chiseled alder cabinets and backsplash tiles painted by a local artist, remained intact. The hand-carved stone sink from South America was originally a watering trough. “We added a 3-inch granite divider and drains to accommodate modern needs,� Wallinger notes.
Working with general contractor Rick Padilla of Padilla Signature Builder, the designer had a hand in the reclaimed Amish barnwood beams and the metal railings fashioned from antique pieces. “The materials in the floor are laid out to mirror the ceiling beams, and we used reclaimed artifacts like the pillars in the living room to impart an authenticity not commonly found in new construction,” Wallinger boasts. “It feels like it has been there for hundreds of years.” The old-world elegance also provided the perfect backdrop for shifting design motifs. With the brown phase in the rearview mirror, the current iteration takes a lively turn with warm-toned neutrals more in sync with the surroundings. “The windows are so large, the landscape becomes part of the space, so the interiors needed to be a harmonious continuation,” says Wallinger, who
repurposed many of the existing pieces. In the living room, for example, back-to-back sofas once topped with brown leather and wide wale corduroy gave way to lighter more refined charcoal-gray leather and plush velvet pillows. Flanking the oversize couches are new wood cabinets with woven grass-cloth insets and adequate scale to stand up to 18-foot ceilings. On one side of the room, a coffee table crafted from a slab of acacia and distinguished by mitered corners and waterfall legs serves as a streamlined counterpart to the reupholstered tufted ottomans. On the other, Wallinger designed four arrow-shaped tables in varying wood shades that can be combined to form an array of patterns. “They are based on a timeless Navajo design,” she says.
A bohemian-chic sensibility prevails in the guest casita living room, where the seating area features a curvedback sofa by S. R. Drost Custom Furniture upholstered in Kravet stripe and Great Plains linen velvet from John Brooks Incorporated. The leather-and-iron CB2 side chair and the woven felted wool Surya rug contribute to the overall effect.

This page: No changes were made to the exterior of the house, where the cobblestone driveway has an inlaid terra-cotta border. The stucco-and-stone structure is composed of native materials, and all the metalwork, including the upper-level railing, was fashioned from reclaimed metal sourced globally. Opposite: Originally a patio, an outdoor space was enclosed with generous windows to create an office for the wife. “The color palette was inspired by the surrounding desert,� notes Wallinger, who modified the frames of the existing chairs and updated them with Pollack fabric from Egg & Dart in Denver. The fabric on the pillows is by Kravet.
The outdoor entertaining space, which looks out to the McDowell Mountains, is furnished with an assemblage of teak pieces from Century Furniture, which Wallinger cushioned with both solid and striped fabrics. The coffee table is from the homeowners’ collection, and the fireplace is composed of carved Cantera stone with a slate mosaic inset.

For the dramatic master bedroom, Venetian plaster walls by Legendary Fine Finishes complement walls made of flashed adobe bricks. “They’re pretty unique and not seen very often,” notes Wallinger.

A finishing touch comes in the form of a two-tiered iron-and-crystal droplet chandelier by Currey & Company.
Dominated by stone walls, the dining room also mandated statement pieces like the existing tabletop that responds to the layout of the ceiling beams. To update the space, the exposed backs of the six side chairs were wrapped with upholstery in a neutral snakeskin pattern. There and elsewhere, texture is a key layer with furniture and fabrics selected to stand up to the highly textured walls and floors. In the master bedroom, for example, the original headboard was recovered in a warm gray fabric that emulates silk to provide a strong counterpoint to the flashed adobe wall. Wallinger also introduced a plush area rug to further soften the coarse adobe. Mercury-glass lamps atop the refinished side tables add bling, and the sparkle continues with a pair of new chandeliers composed of delicate crystal droplets. “They add just the right amount of romance to the otherwise masculine space,” she says. Appreciative of her repeat opportunity, Wallinger says, “It’s wonderful for a designer to still have an intimate relationship with the owners of a home you helped build from the ground up. To be part of a home’s progression as it ages and changes is really something special.”
