EDITOR’S LETTER

Clockwise from top left: M64 Pendant by Miguel Milá for Santa & Cole; a vignette from The Coveteur: Private Spaces, Personal Style by Stephanie Mark and Jake Rosenberg; vintage Cartier necklace; Navata fabric by Fortuny; and Petri vase by Elyse Graham.

What should your home give to you? In its purest form, it should impart beauty, honesty, delight, imperfection, and, perhaps, even a little wit or amusement. The environment that you create is essentially an extension of what you value and love, a reflection of your aesthetic sensibility. It’s something that ebbs and evolves over time yet (hopefully!) always feels authentic and true. It seems reasonable then that the space in which you live should be treated as a little haven in this world—a dwelling that makes the everyday seem that much more beautiful. This issue is largely dedicated to examining the concept of luxury, and our team connected with many artisans and designers who weighed in on the subject. It’s telling that a common thread runs through that collective dialogue: “Each piece has a story to tell.” “Collect things you love and want to have forever.” “The most luxurious of materials are also often the simplest.” “Home is sacred, and the items around us often have an emotional effect, so it is important to put a great deal of care into deciding what you allow into your space.” Wherever you reside, make home your greatest luxury.

WHAT DOES THE ART OF INSPIRATION MEAN TO YOUR BRAND? Inspiration lies at the very core of Vinotemp’s culture. India Hynes, like her father before her, has traveled the world in search of new ideas and inspiration, as well as new technologies and industry trends.

WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF YOUR FIRM? Vinotemp is a 30-year-old family business. Founder Francis Ravel was born in Casablanca, French Morocco, fought with the French Foreign Legion and landed in Hollywood as a leading man. After a lengthy movie career, Ravel found his passion of making and selling his own wine. This simple turn of fate led to the need to store his collection.

DESCRIBE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP BEHIND YOUR BRAND. Vinotemp’s loyal workforce is bound together by a single thought: to create a product that will last for generations.

Fine Art Show Preview | Denver, CO September 24-October 1, 2016

R ICH A RD SCH MI D Throughout his distinguished career, artist, author, and teacher, Richard Schmid has been a candid spokesman for what is known as the Grand Manner–a certain mingling of virtuosity and unrestrained joy in art. Richard Schmid holds a Doctorate of Fine Art and is the recipient of every major art award in America, including the $100,000 National Arts for the Parks Competition for his painting, Rocky Mountain Stream–Rocky Mountain National Park. In addition, Mr. Schmid was presented with The John Singer Sargent Lifetime Achievement award by Richard Ormond, Sargent’s grandnephew, at ceremonies held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

“Begonias” Oil 16" x 20"

“Talent is a most precious gift, one not to be accepted lightly. I strongly believe it represents a trust, and therefore an obligation, to act wisely and unselfishly in how we practice our art. Accordingly, I believe we should set our sights high because art, even when it deals with tragedy, is always an ascending rather than a descending act. Art is there to nourish the human spirit.”– Richard Schmid

Since 1958, Mr. Schmid has presented over Fifty one-man shows. Autumn 2016 marks the premiere of his new Retrospective Exhibition curated by Kristen Thies, owner of West Wind Fine Art. The show comprises thirty of his most iconic paintings and drawings on loan from private collections and five new artworks. In 2012 Doug Pringle, President of the K.T. Wiedemann Foundation in Wichita, Kansas invited Mr. Schmid to paint Abbotsford–the ancestral home of Sir Walter Scott. Mr. Schmid’s plein air-oil, Abbotsford Sketch, will be on view in the show. His larger masterwork, Abbotsford House, oil 30" x 50," was presented by Kristen Thies to Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Opening of Abbotsford’s new Visitor’s Center in Melrose, Scotland in 2013.

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

ALANNA HALE

Photographer / San Francisco

TATE GUNNERSON Writer / Chicago

Memorable Luxe interview: While every single interview is fascinating in its own way, my conversation with the multifaceted Eric J. Nordstrom of Urban Remains in Chicago stands out. He left behind a career in scientific research to pursue his passion for history, architecture and salvage and has since amassed a significant collection of pieces. Is there a particular writer whose work has had an influence on you? Although I have an enduring appreciation for urban life and design of all kinds, Henry David Thoreau’s emphasis on nature and simplicity resonates with me more and more as the years go by. Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? Artist and potter Alessio Tasca. For decades, he created incredible pieces out of his rustic studio in the countryside just outside of Vicenza, Italy. What a life he’s lived! If I weren’t a writer, I would… Run a small bed-and-breakfast that would consist of stylish tiny homes, yurts and tree houses on a peaceful lake in the country. I’d also love to make a documentary at some point.

KARYN MILLET Photographer / Los Angeles My biggest creative influences come from… My travels. From Cuba to the Cotswolds in England, this year has been full of visual inspiration for design, color, light, composition and mood. I’m forever planning my next trip. Whose work has impacted you the most? My great-great-uncle, Francis Davis Millet. He was a famous artist who made me realize that art can be a career if you set your mind to it. He was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats off the Titanic, where he perished. What type of design inspires you? I love traditional with a twist. With architecture, I’m a big fan of the classics—Federal, Cape Cod and Spanish. I’m also intrigued by unexpected colors and fresh designs in interiors.

MINDY PANTIEL Writer / Colorado What do you find most enjoyable about the design industry? I like the ongoing integration of the art world into interior design. And I don’t mean finding art to match a sofa, but rather designers recognizing that allowing art to make its own statement only enhances and elevates a home’s interiors. Favorite element of design: Architecture. I am forever in awe of a great architect’s ability to shape a building and create spaces that are not only livable but also have a context. As a consequence, I like furnishings and accessories that make strong architectural statements. Most memorable Luxe interview: I spoke with a homeowner who shared that her husband had fallen in love with an enormous boulder weighing several tons on their property. So, as a birthday present, the wife arranged for a crane to move it near the front door so he could see it every day. The architecture and design of the house were already wonderful, but this was a reminder that the best stories (and homes) involve this kind of personal touch.

What is the best career advice you’ve received? “You don’t have to like it, but you should be proud of it.” It’s a way of saying that the path or experience isn’t always easy or fun, but it’s worth the fight to create great work in the end. And, while that uncomfortable place may sometimes be unpleasant, it’s also necessary. Role models: Stephen Shipps and Maria Koundoura, professors at Emerson College in Boston. They are both passionate, brilliant, patient and kind. Favorite Luxe shoot: Blacksmith Daniel Hopper was so much fun to work with, but with their humor and charm, Neil and Alix Curry of The Willow Farm are pretty hard to beat. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to purchase a Hans Wegner Peacock chair, install flamingo wallpaper in my bathroom, and own a vintage caramel-colored Chesterfield sofa.

LUXURY in the DETAILS A LOOK AT LUXURY WITH HANDS-ON CREATIVES WHO ARE POWERING THE GROWING MAKERS-MATTER REVOLUTION. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

Luxury has a million different meanings and permutations, a concept as unique as a fingerprint to each individual person: a warm cup of coffee on a chilly, overcast morning; the cool thrill of slipping into a freshly made bed with silk sheets; a day off with no obligations or competition for the television remote. One thing these definitions, and the countless others we’ve heard while working on this issue, have in common, though, is that they all actively engage the senses. The greatest luxuries then are the things that inspire joy by the way they look, feel, smell, sound or taste—many of which exist inside the home and have transcended their supporting roles in everyday life (think a bench, a sconce, a pillow) to take center stage due to the attention their makers have given to their creations. On the following pages, we talk to the artists, designers and craftspeople responsible for both breaking and making the mold and for ensuring even the smallest details feel like priceless treasures.

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“I don’t like trendy design; although, it’s essential to keep up with changing styles. When I design textiles, I like to create things that are timeless and can work in various styles of homes—things that can be appreciated decade after decade.” –MILI SULEMAN, KUFRILIFEFABRICS.COM

“Don’t bring it home unless you plan on living with it indefinitely. There’s so much disposability in consumer culture. Instead, collect things you love and want to have forever. Search for things that retain their value even when they’re well-used, worn or patinated.” –CODY HOYT, CODYHOYT.COM

I LOVE WORKING WITH WOOD. IT HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER ; EACH PIECE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND FEELS ALIVE TO ME. A LOT OF TIMES I EVEN SPECIFICALLY LOOK FOR SLABS WITH IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH WE THEN PATCH UP IN UNIQUE WAYS.” –FLORIAN ROEPER, STUDIOROEPER.COM

Clockwise from top right: Elyse Graham’s Petri vase; Pamela Sunday’s Sprocket sculpture; and Cody Hoyt’s Oblique vessel.

“The value in a handcrafted piece is the human connection. The digital age has made our world smaller and brought us together but left us longing for direct personal contact. I think there is an inherent comfort in owning a piece, which is made by hand, that addresses that void.” –ELYSE GRAHAM, ELYSEGRAHAM.COM

“Luxury is beauty and comfort combined. I have come to love a Martin Margiela smock that is threadbare from years of wear. My husband purchased it more than 20 years ago. When I put it on, I feel more like myself.” –PAMELA SUNDAY, PAMELASUNDAY.COM

“I am blown away by the work of artist Daniel Brush. His level of commitment, his total focus, his rabid attention to detail and his blend of the intellectual and the physical are just so impressive. I find myself on the verge of almost giving up when I see his work.” –VICTORIA REYNOLDS, TUELLREYNOLDS.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“I’m continually impressed by how much a beautiful cup, the right bowl, a wellmade rug, a crafted table or an inspiring piece of art can move me. I never imagined the profound pleasure that someone else’s creativity could bring me each day.”

THE MOST LUXURIOUS OF MATERIALS ARE ALSO OFTEN THE SIMPLEST, WHETHER IT’S CLAY, WOOD, STONE OR NATURAL FIBERS. WOOD, IN PARTICULAR, IS SACRED TO OUR SURVIVAL, WITH TREES THEMSELVES OFTEN SERVING AS MARKERS OF THE PASSING OF TIME.”

–RUTH FRANCES GREENBERG, RUTHFRANCESGREENBERG.COM

“We’re compelled to create by nature; it’s a Zen state that’s hard to match and innate in all of us. I aim to make modern heirlooms and do work that is meant to be handled and not put on a pedestal. I often wonder where my pieces end up living and hope that they’re being passed down generationally as cherished objects.”

“We love the thought that our pieces could be passed down through generations. We put a lot of effort into creating solid, wellconstructed objects. We also use the best materials that we feel are correct for each individual design and are compelled to make each piece as good as it can be.” –JAMEY GARZA, GARZAMARFA.COM

–TUCKER ROBBINS, TUCKERROBBINS.COM

“The ethos of handcrafted work is incomparable to that of mass-market products. Our work comes from a place of deliberation over design, aesthetic, structure, form and function. Each piece is handmade to order, so we know for whom and for what space we’re making it.” –DAVID WEEKS, DAVIDWEEKSSTUDIO.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“Every painting is a struggle between what you want it to be and what the painting wants to be. Most of the time, painting is wrestling, but every once in a while, something unexpected happens— something beyond what I’ve planned or intended.” –STELLA MARIA BAER, STELLAMARIABAER.COM

“Luxuries, to me, are things that create ‘wow’ moments in our days—like when you sink into a down sofa and have no desire to be anywhere else or when you experience the pleasure of running your hands across the top of a table made from an exquisite, oneof-a-kind piece of wood that’s been skillfully finished to perfection.” –CATALINA ECHAVARRIA, CEUSTUDIO.COM

From top: The Pivot chandelier by Brendan Ravenhill; CEU Studio’s handwoven Reed bed.

MY PROCESS IS NOT LUXURIOUS AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS THAT HAVE GONE INTO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE CREATED—A LOT OF BAD BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GOOD—BUT I CAN’T IMAGINE NOT DOING IT. THE PROCESS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.” –MEGAN ADAMS BROOKS, MEGANADAMSBROOKS.COM

“If you’re going to splurge on anything, let it be lighting— it has the greatest ability to transform a space. No matter how nice the objects in a particular room are, if the lighting’s not right, you’re not going to spend as much time there. Beyond how it looks, too, be sure to examine what kind of light it casts.” –BRENDAN RAVENHILL, BRENDANRAVENHILL.COM

“When creating something that people will one day bring into their homes, I always try to subscribe to Shaker design philosophy: Don’t make something unless it is necessary and useful. But if it is both necessary and useful, don’t forget to make it beautiful.” –SEEMA KRISH, SEEMAKRISH.COM

“We absolutely keep the idea of collecting in mind when making things. We want to create pieces that can be preserved and last for multiple generations. We try to make art that is immersive and made by multiple artists, and we like the fact that furniture and usable art can be hard to swallow as an art form.” –NANA SPEARS, FORTMAKERS.COM

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

Everything Is Illuminated DESIGNER JONATHAN BROWNING USES HIS PASSION FOR HISTORY AND AGELESS STYLE TO CREATE LIGHTING THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PORTRAIT BY ALANNA HALE

Change in approach: When I first started, I was doing everything by hand, but I quickly discovered that my designs would have to be made in a foundry because they were too complex. I only work with the best of the best: Cirecast. Material matters: For the first seven years, we used cast bronze almost exclusively, but as our

SCONCE PHOTO: GRANT PETERSON.

When Jonathan Browning founded his eponymous company in 2003, he was positive of one thing: He was going to make the best lighting in the industry. “I wanted to create pieces that would outlast the people that bought them,” he says. Through designing each item by hand, using the best quality materials and producers, and taking a new approach to old ideas, Browning has proven that being the best isn’t about labels, but about commitment. In his latest offering, the Montalembert sconce, the designer shows us thoughtfulness once again with a machined-byhand lamp with a hand-polished solid-brass base and a hand-carved and polished lead-crystal shade. “Luxury is about authenticity,” says Browning. “It is about respecting your materials and deferring to what your design is trying to say and do. It’s about doing the right thing over the easy thing.”

repertoire expanded, we introduced brass and then lead crystal. I’d always wanted to use lead crystal because it’s such a beautiful alternative to glass. Crème de la crème: My passion has always been industrial design, but I’m also a big fan of French Beaux Arts. The French essentially studied every element of classical design, learning the rules so that they could break them and introduce something the world had never seen. Luxury suite: To me, Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont is the height of luxury. It’s incredible to go into a room that was so beautifully designed in the 1920s and that has been restored but not fussed over. It is like stepping into an old photograph.

Hero worship: Otto Wagner gave voice to industrial design as a decorative language. I also admire Stanford White, who was really the first decorator; he would bring architectural elements from Italy and France and build whole rooms for them. Finally, I consider Louis Comfort Tiffany a genius of massively misunderstood proportion. He is often dismissed as being a little known stained-glassed window and lamp designer, which is insane. Beauty statement: The construction of the Montalembert sconce is what gives it its beauty. The electrical work flows through the brass tube, curving downward and back up, never touching the crystal shade; the armature is just there to cradle the crystal. The result is like sculpture.

AT ANN SACKS, ART, CRAFT AND A DOSE OF SCIENCE MEET TO CREATE THE COMPANY’S SIGNATURE LINE OF TILES. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

These days, the transformation of an Ann Sacks tile from rough sketch to finished tile takes place in a sprawling Portland, Oregon, factory. However, the company’s dedication to craft, along with some of the same kilns, remains the same as it did nearly a quarter century ago when the founder of the eponymous company decided to add to her line of tile imported from Mexico with her own signature collection. The story continues in a quiet corner of the factory. There, a skilled craftsman—who goes by Gerbert—translates ideas conceived by Ann Sacks’ in-house design team and by notable collaborating designers, such as Robert

Kuo, Kelly Wearstler and Laura Kirar, into the first stages of a new tile addition to the core Made by Ann Sacks collection. “He’s a true artist,” says DeeDee Gundberg, director of product development. “He takes the design from concept to drawing to understand the repeat before transitioning it to a wax model.” From there, Gundberg and her colleagues tweak the design and make changes. “Maybe it’s just softening a corner,” says Justin Burgin, team leader of finished goods, or, “refining a line to make it slightly thinner.” Then, a wax model gets made to create a rubber positive, which in turn is used to create the mold. Finally,

Ann Sacks’ signature line of earthenware and stoneware tiles, the Made by Ann Sacks collection, offers a rainbow of colors and a mind-boggling assortment of textures, shapes and sizes.

the prototype is fired and ready for glazing. It’s a critical step, since glazes can behave differently. And, notes Burgin, “Things stand out more when glazed, so it’s critical to see if any flaws appear.” Once the design is complete, the tile is ready to be put into production, joining a dizzying array of colors (over 150!) and shapes from hexagons, arabesques and scallops to the ever-popular subway tile, not to mention textures, including the Ann Sacks Modern Ribbed tiles, a recent introduction. “It’s extremely important we stay relevant,” says Gundberg. The company produces both earthenware and stoneware designs from locally sourced clay. Earthenware, the first type of

tile the company produced, allows for solid glossy or matte glazes, while the stoneware body lends itself to more decorative shapes. For basic shapes, production starts when the wet clay goes through an extruder, where it’s flattened and then cut into slugs before being loaded into presses to make specific shapes. For some tiles, including all the stoneware offerings, the designs are stamped by hand. Afterward, the tiles spend 12 to 15 hours drying before they’re ready to be biscuit-fired in the continuous kiln—a hulking piece of machinery that takes the tile up to 1,976 degrees Fahrenheit and back to room temperature in as little as 80 minutes. Then, it’s

onto the glazing area, where the pieces are either glazed on the line or hand-sprayed. Each tile in the Made by Ann Sacks collection is touched by at least seven people during its transformation. Burgin is quick to point out that a little piece of everyone involved in the production goes into the finished product. “They’re incredibly passionate about it,” he says. During factory tours, design lovers see that firsthand. “They’re blown away by the handmade process, the artisanal quality and the craftsmanship they see,” says Gundberg. “The story is extremely important to tell, so they understand what went into the making of that tile.”

RADAR / DEBUT

Best part about working with Theodore Alexander on your new collection, Califolio? The first thing the team at Theodore Alexander told me when we began to work together was “design like you have no constraints,” and I immediately understood why. Their capabilities are endless; they have their own foundry and handle their own finishing and leather fabrication. It allowed me to create exactly what I wanted: a large, ambitious collection (of over 75 pieces!) with a real wabi-sabi flavor and plenty of interesting textures and finishes. Share your inspiration for the collection. The size of the collection enabled me to combine a lot of the different things I’m influenced by: organic design and materials, as well as American Art Deco modernism.

WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

I also wanted to create a dialogue here that speaks to Los Angeles’ eclecticism, to the way we celebrate the melting pot of cultures that make up our community and how we’ve learned to mix both high and low, elegance and simplicity in our homes. Do you have a favorite piece? They’re all special to me, but I’m especially proud of the work we did on the Flint table (shown). To bring that piece to life, we had to work with Theodore Alexander to add new finishes and techniques to its repertoire. For example, for the handsome oak tabletop, we designed a finish called Sandalwood for a rich, honey color; then, to take it even further, we put it through a wire-brushing process before hitting it with white cerused wax and a very, very fine steel wood for a satin finish.

It also has a beautiful base. Yes! The Flint table also features another new finish called Foundry, a lovely metallic that gives the base the illusion of being cast in bronze. In reality, the base is fabricated resin, which makes it easier to render its river rock-shaped cutouts. I’ve always been attracted to anything curvilinear or kidney-shaped. These silhouettes, popular in the 1940s through ’60s, are some of my favorite things from that period of modernism. Dream meal to serve on this table? A fantastic L.A.-inspired lunch with fresh, homemade heirloom tomato salsa with chipotle peppers, vegetarian tacos with avocado and peppers, and delicious BBQ shrimp skewers. It’s a great example of what entertaining in California is all about: flavor and quality and health. Just don’t forget the gluten-free corn tortillas!

@kellikroneberger

WHO: Photographer, painter and all-around creative talent Kelli Kroneberger captures her day-to-day life, both personal and professional, via her colorful and exciting Instagram feed. WHAT: Influenced by her clean and casual locale of Fort Collins, Kroneberger’s airy images more closely resemble a frozen moment in time than a styled composition. Expect beauty shots of her latest abstract paintings—both in-progress and completed—along with behind-the-scenes glimpses on-set with some of the area’s most notable brands. Also, look out for recent updates on the design of her new (and expectedly stylish) home.

IN HER WORDS: “I like to keep everything I do clean and simple, with a touch of fun and unexpected interest. I love the juxtaposition of raw and refined, old and new. I feel the best design aesthetic is one that feels effortless and unforced—like it just happened by accident.”

TALKING SHOP WITH JENNIFER LITTLE

HEYDAY

When did you open? We opened our doors at the Jessup Farm Artisan Village in Fort Collins in August 2015. Tell us about the shop. Heyday is a playful retail shop that epitomizes simple living. It’s about lifestyles that are created over time—a place to return again and again for timeless, clean and classic style. On the floor? In our 1,000-square-foot shop, we sell clothing for women as well as home goods and accessories for beautiful living spaces. Describe the interiors. The space is pretty exposed, with simple concrete floors we’ve tried to play up; everything looks extremely rustic, so we mixed in three statement chandeliers to form a great contrast. Any special events? Absolutely! We love bringing the community together and host everything from yoga and art shows to special shopping events for customers. theheydaystore.com

THE INSIDER LIZ VEHKO

Liz Vehko knows rugs. As the co-owner of Cherry Creek’s Shaver-Ramsey—a high-end rug gallery with a large inventory of handmade rugs and textiles from around the world—Vehko takes pride in all of the 40-year-old company’s offerings. “We are the second-oldest business in the neighborhood,” she says. The gallery, which Vehko runs with her partner, Denver native Paul Ramsey, has grown from a 600-square-foot space to an airy, museum-style showroom that boasts more than 5,000 square feet as well as a second location in San Francisco. “Many clients come in not necessarily to buy a rug but to just walk around the store and take it all in,” Vehko says. “They call it meditative, as if they are in a museum looking at beautiful artwork.” Here, the design veteran shares what’s on her radar in Denver this season. shaver-ramsey.com What’s intriguing you in design at the moment? The Denver Art Museum is adding a new group of some of the world’s best curators to its already-talented team. In the rug industry, the design scene is becoming more diverse by incorporating a number of global trends; it is more adventurous and daring, no longer so embedded in tradition. Architectural must-sees: If you’re in town, be sure to go by both DAM buildings—designed by Gio Ponti and Daniel Libeskind—as well as the Clyfford Still Museum and the Michael Graves-designed Denver Public Library. Also, one of the greatest architectural destinations in Colorado is in south Boulder: the National Center for Atmospheric Research. For the design-obsessed: Three of my go-to shops in the area are the Brass Bed for fine linens and furnishings, Eron Johnson Antiques for antiques and Meininger for art materials. For art viewing, I love Gallery 1261, William Havu Gallery and Saks Galleries. Ones to watch: Kerri Burcham with Citrus + Steel is up to some very exciting things, as are interior designers Andrea Schumacher, Kristina Sterling of Seek Interior Design, and Tammy Pratt.

ANDREW GINGER ON CECIL BEATON AT HOME: AN INTERIOR LIFE

Preface: A biography of celebrated photographer, set designer and artist Sir Cecil Beaton that explores his dynamic personality through his interiors and private life.

Trademark style: I tend to gravitate toward the eccentric, the grand and the theatrical. Afterword: Have patience and keep shuffling the cards.

While various elements of the homes in our book have been published, this was an opportunity to share the visions behind them in a comprehensive way. Inspirational contributors: Each other. Trademark style: Like a symphony, we play different instruments at different times. We actually finish each other’s sentences—it can be kind of frightening. Afterword: There are only two kinds of people in the world: the ones that love sparkly things and the ones that won’t admit it.

THESE FALL FINDS RADIATE LUXURY, INCITING INTEREST FROM OUR LATEST ROUND OF STYLISH DESIGN DIGNITARIES. WRITTEN BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOANNA MCCLURE

NIMA TAHERZADEH

FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER HEROINESPORT.COM

Signature: Kate Spade has really revolutionized the accessory business, and the brand continues to do so with other categories that help shape the well-lived lifestyle. Material: Velvet and leather have a tendency to be soft and sexy; in this case, they cause an understated juxtaposition with the structural and industrial brass legs. Fashion x Interiors: I believe that the definition of luxury changes from time to time. For now, the focus is more about comfort, ease and access in both fashion and interiors—a quiet luxury à la well-crafted and beautifully designed pieces. Necessary Extravagance: However you define luxury, bring it about as often as you can.

LAP OF LUXURY

THE PIECE: Syrie Stools THE DESIGNER: Kate Spade New York FIND IT: katespade.com THE INSPIRATION: From the clean piping of the cushions to the fearlessly feminine brass legs, the Syrie stools epitomize exactly what Kate Spade New York has always been about: classic design with a twist. Here, buttery leather and blush cut velvet keep the seats au courant, while the cut of the legs adds an unexpected edge, proving that the company’s signature ethos is sure to always keep us on our toes.

PRIMITIVE LINEN BACKGROUND IN JUNIPER BY DE LE CUONA

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

GOLD MINE THE PIECE: Iolite Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: Jean-Louis Deniot FIND IT: bakerfurniture.com THE INSPIRATION: The Iolite table lamp is one clever chameleon, sparking a curious source of inspiration. And that is exactly what Jean-Louis Deniot intended to do with this striking design made of brass and alabaster. Fashioning an organic, naturalistic shape, the French design luminary left the product open to interpretation: Is it a shell encasing a pearl or a peacock feather? Either way, this sculptural piece provokes conversation and brightens any space it inhabits.

JONATHAN MEIZLER

FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER TITLEOFWORK.COM

Heritage: Baker’s craftsmanship has been highly regarded from its inception, and to this day, the quality stands up to its name. Material: I am intrigued by the artful contrasts in Deniot’s design—the hard and soft, the smooth and the liquid, the metallic and the organic; together, they strike a beautiful balance and create harmony. Recall: A striking piece like Deniot’s anchors a room or creates a conversation. It evokes a memory, dream or inspiration. To me, it feels a little Deco. Necessary Extravagance: Luxury is all about dreaming. It’s being able to afford to have the time to grasp the unnecessary. Time is our biggest luxury. Fashion x Interiors: If you don’t need it, it’s luxury, and that applies across any category.

HAYDEN LASHER HANDBAG DESIGNER HAYDENLASHER.COM

Signature: Celerie Kemble’s designs are fresh yet traditional, and many of her pieces feel as if they could have been handed down through generations— the perfect combination of contemporary and nostalgia. Details: These boxes epitomize luxury because they don’t just serve a purpose; they are also special and artistic. The devil is in the details, and there is no better way to tie a space together than with the accessories. Recall: They remind me of a box my grandmother used to keep in her library that was full of matchbooks she collected from her travels around the world. Composition: The way the boxes are enveloped by de Le Cuona’s lush linen makes it feel like you have just unwrapped a gift. Fashion x Interiors: Kemble’s mixture of rattan and brass reads as smart, distinctive and tailored—a winning combination in all facets of design.

TREASURE TROVE THE PIECE: Rattan & Brass Boxes THE DESIGNER: Celerie Kemble FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s no question that Celerie Kemble is a fan-favorite, and her chic and livable interiors have effortlessly translated into an accessories line with Maitland-Smith. Case in point: these rattan and brass boxes, envisaged with a modern blend of natural materials and a glimmer of glamour—an adored Kemble trademark.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

GREAT HEIGHTS THE PIECE: Fulcrum Candlesticks THE DESIGNER: Lee Broom FIND IT: leebroom.com THE INSPIRATION: Once again, Lee Broom takes us to another level with his just-the-right-amount-of-edge Fulcrum candlesticks. Exploring the capabilities of pivots and supports, Broom employed solid Carrara marble to put his ideas into practice. Considering the products’ colossal and sculptural presence, one is easily reminded that these are indeed not your grandmother’s candlesticks.

KARLA GALLARDO, COFOUNDER & CEO SHILPA SHAH, COFOUNDER & CXO CUYANA.COM

Detail: Luxury is in the details, and Lee Broom’s candlesticks have been carefully conceptualized; his vision and modernity are very in-line with the Cuyana aesthetic. Material: Marble is so rich and transcendent yet its natural texture commands attention in a subtly powerful way. Fashion x Interiors: The two run parallel in that rich materials and beautiful craftsmanship are of equal importance. Incorporating these precious finds into your home— and closet—can make the everyday feel elevated. Timelessness: It’s important to bring the customer back to the essence of a product through its materials and design. To invest in luxury is to invest in something that will bring you comfort and gratification for years to come.

CUTTING EDGE THE PIECE: Alchemy Table THE DESIGNERS: Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford FIND IT: material-lust.com THE INSPIRATION: The self-described “dark horses of design” enamor us with the latest addition to their Geometry is God collection: the Alchemy table. In maintaining a keen focus on their Solitarian design philosophy and distinct aesthetic, this piece—driven by the alchemical symbolism for air, earth, fire and water—personifies the duo’s fascination and commitment to ancient symbols and a proclivity to reinterpret these markings in contemporary and striking ways.

LELA ROSE

FASHION DESIGNER LELAROSE.COM

Continuity: Lauren and Christian have such a strong aesthetic that is present in really every piece they design—I always respect a dedication to an artistic ideal. Material: Brass, both polished and brushed (as in this case), always screams luxury to me. Recall: The calculated proportions and mixed-metal finishes are reminiscent of the Cubism period. Composition: I love the rough yet lavish vibe of the background textile, which especially complements the brilliant polish and high design of the Alchemy table. Evolution: I don’t think that luxury and formality are mutually exclusive. I want to feel luxurious in what I wear, the quality of it, how it fits the body; similarly, I want to cultivate pieces for my home that evoke that same feeling. Big or small, whether you wear it or just admire it, luxury goods bring you joy.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

CRAFTSMANSHIP

IN THE 21 CENTURY ST

Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “The Mark of the Maker” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

SUN VALLEY BRONZE When Bob and Debbie Commons started Sun Valley Bronze over 20 years ago near the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, the goal was to create something better, more durable and with greater integrity than what was already on the market. Bob was in the high-end residential building industry, and Debbie was drafting architectural plans; they observed a void in the market when it came to the finish details for high-end residences. Sun Valley Bronze succeeded in fulfilling its objectives and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fine architectural hardware. A factor that has propelled the company to the upper echelon of decorative hardware is its ability to adapt to change in the marketplace, from design preferences to technological advances in conceptualization and building. “When Sun Valley Bronze first started, all patterns were made in a wood shop by hand. Today, we are using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines that are all manufactured in California at the Haas CNC factory. We collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology,” Bob explains. Sun Valley Bronze’s work, known for its simple, clean and timeless qualities, is driven by ergonomics and process. “Service and quality are the most important parts of our company,” he says. “We are focused on making products we are proud of, crafted of the highest quality materials and made in the U.S., and we back it up with friendly, prompt and honest service.”

“

Our clients are looking for one-ofa-kind products designed to last.

INSIDE SUN VALLEY BRONZE Fresh + favorite collections. Sun Valley Bronze is excited to introduce its new lighting collection, including the freestanding Otto lamp. A favorite of Bob’s is the patented adjustable ball-bearing hinge, which is a resounding success because it works so flawlessly. Provenance. Sun Valley Bronze designs and manufactures all of its products proudly in the U.S. Newly acquired. Sun Valley Bronze purchased Reveal Designs, which manufactures exceptional modern hardware, all designed by its worldrenowned design partners. Artistic update. Sun Valley Bronze is now casting brass in addition to its white and silicon bronze. Fun family fact. The lock key cover was designed by the Commons’ son Josh. He designed it to fit his thumbprints so the cover could easily be pushed from side to side. That small interaction with the hardware guided his process and is why the key cover has the unique ridge in the face of the design.

1. Assembly. Sun Valley Bronze hardware assembly includes stainless steel components and Teflon-coated springs for flawless function and to ensure longevity in humid or coastal climates. 2. Casting. The furnace heats the bronze to a pouring temperature of 2250° Fahrenheit.

LEE INDUSTRIES

DESIGN DIALOGUE LEE INDUSTRIES GIVES READERS INSIGHT INTO THE COMPANY’S SUSTAINABLE AND ARTISTIC INFLUENCES Do you have a design process? If so, what is it? When LEE envisions new designs for upholstery, it is the refinement of the design that makes our product unique. The details make the difference in our products—the contour of a leg, the seaming of a cushion, the grain of the wood, the curvature of the silhouette, the geometric precision of a frame, the hand tufting of the back—these become the stars of the show. Have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies? Absolutely! In manufacturing, all of our products are drawn in CAD, and our vendors must be able to receive all files in CAD, as well. Our cutting is done on automated cutters with talented operators making sure to achieve the highest yield of any fabric or leather used.

LEE Industries began in 1969 in a small workshop in North Carolina. From the beginning, the ambition of founders Bill and Dottie Coley was to manufacture quality, Americanmade furniture that they would use in their own home. Good fortune came in finding skilled craftspeople to create beautiful and enduring pieces. LEE has always been focused on providing custom designs and maintaining a high-quality standard in its products. For 47 years, creating quality home furnishings, building with pride and using sustainable practices has resulted in LEE earning Gold Exemplary Recognition from the Sustainable Furnishings Council. LEE is the only upholstery manufacturer to earn this recognition. It has successfully completed a two-year process of evaluation and auditing in operations, production and outreach in its community. LEE has maintained its reputation in the furniture industry by creating quality furniture, caring for the communities that build and sell its product and caring for the environment. Everyone can sit back and relax knowing LEE is good as gold!

The hallmark of Hubbardton Forge lighting is design that is graceful and unembellished, allowing the materials and forms to speak for themselves.

HUBBARDTON FORGE

”

A dynamic and diverse mélange of creative talent converges at the Hubbardton Forge headquarters in Castleton, Vermont, where one-of-a-kind, sculptural lighting is brought to life through deft craftsmanship and ingenuity. A team of more than 225 designers, artisans, metal crafters, welders, production staff members and customer service professionals contributes to Hubbardton Forge’s long-standing success and designation as one of the U.S.’s most esteemed lighting manufacturers. In addition to its exclusively made-in-America practices, Hubbardton Forge is unwavering in its use of quality materials and artful, handcreated building methodologies. “At Hubbardton Forge, we are designers and makers; each piece is made to order, whether a single piece or every corridor of a hotel,” explains David Kitts, Design Director of the company. “Each fixture will have its own personality brought forth from the fires of the forge.” Blending the time-honored with the avant-garde, Hubbardton Forge continues to find equilibrium in a technologically driven marketplace. “We still use the hammer and anvil on some designs, but technology, especially LEDs, has had a major impact on our practices. The light source is no longer secondary in the design development process but is now often the driver in the design,” Kitts says. “Working with a local LED manufacturer, we’re able to do things we never thought possible. We can bend the lighting element to become an integral part of a fixture’s sculpture, or we can suspend the metal sculpture and envelop it with a wash of up/down light from an LED light guide platform that is part of its forged steel frame.” 1

THE DESIGN PROCESS Who: The designers at Hubbardton Forge come from backgrounds in architecture, engineering and even jewelry design. They possess a wealth of knowledge and a deep respect for all art forms. What: Designers work individually and as a team, brainstorming, sketching, meeting and critiquing, often pushing themselves and each other to create designs that celebrate form, materials and artistry that can only be achieved through handcrafted design. Where: American-made, in Castleton, Vermont. Why: To merge “art and illumination.” “Given the choice, don’t we want our lives to be illuminated artfully throughout the day?” asks Hubbardton Forge’s V.P. of Marketing, Jeanne-Marie Gand.

DACOR

Innovation and heritage are both honored in the creation and execution of DACOR-made appliances. DACOR (Distinctive Appliance CORporation) was incorporated in 1965 in Los Angeles; however, its origins date back to the Stananthony Corp., established in 1948 by Stan and Anthony Joseph. The company was founded on the credo of “innovations that matter,” which was reflected in its first product: a complete self-contained kitchen ventilation hood system for the high-end residential market. This credo is still woven into DACOR’s corporate ethos and can be seen in the many industry firsts credited to the brand. “We don’t innovate to be fashionable,” says Michael West, director of marketing at DACOR. “We only pursue innovations that will matter and make a tangible difference to the home chef. A great example is the DACOR iQ product that integrates a computer tablet into the oven operation.” Founded and based in California, DACOR finds inspiration in the design, technological, educational and entrepreneurial subcultures that distinguish the state and seeks influence and insight from other industries and leading professionals in their field. “DACOR’s design team pays attention to technology changes, such as induction cooking and control methods like integrating Android tablets for better performance and usability. DACOR taps outside talent such as BMW Designworks USA and the chefs at Le Cordon Bleu (who have tested and recommended our cooking products) to improve its offerings to keep them cutting-edge,” West explains.

BERNHARDT Bernhardt-built: It’s a legacy that honors hundreds of beautifully made furnishings crafted over a century. One of the largest family-owned companies in the country, Bernhardt is led today by the fourth generation of Bernhardts, enabling the firm’s rich history to live on through a deeply committed familial leadership. From its earliest days, furniture making has been an artisanal skill, passed down from generation to generation. Bernhardt honors the origins of the craft—as do its employees. “Over the 127 years we’ve been in business, generations of artisans have passed their expertise on to the next, while incorporating new technologies and innovative ways of making furniture,” shares Alex Bernhardt Jr., Bernhardt’s CEO and president. “The creativity, ingenuity and dedication of countless fathers and mothers, sons and daughters and husbands and wives form the bedrock of our company.” Founded in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt, Alex Bernhardt Jr.’s great-grandfather, Bernhardt was born upon the tenets of high-caliber materials, craftsmanship and people. “Leveraging the region’s natural resources and local woodworking skills to strengthen the local economy, he [John] opened his factory with vast ambitions and 25 employees. Our original guiding principle was quality craftsmanship in all our products and a responsibility and partnership with the people of our community,” Alex explains. Bernhardt’s case goods and upholstery are cherished and coveted globally, showcasing thoughtful originality and meticulous execution: they can be found adorning the interiors of posh five-star hotels, private residences and revered public institutions. “Our hope is that when someone looks at a piece of furniture, they will know it is Bernhardt by its style,” he says.

INSIDE BERNHARDT: HERITAGE AND DESIGN

“

We are dedicated to the idea of affordable luxury.

What is the philosophy behind your firm? The company’s history is one of creativity and passion for the artistry of furniture making, united with a deep commitment to people and relationships. Is your work easily recognizable? Do you have signature design elements? Particularly in our home collections, our brand is known for creating jewelry for the home, creating luxury moments where we live. This is usually accomplished by mixing different finishes and materials, with an emphasis on a variety of metals. Do you have a design process? If so, what is it? We create a palette of colors and materials and then create forms to clothe in these various textures. We rarely create a single piece in a vacuum. It’s always about the mix within a room.

PERSONAL TOUCH IN THE HOME’S BUSIEST SPACES, LUXURY MEANS DITCHING COOKIE-CUTTER STYLE FOR HIGHLY CUSTOM LOOKS THAT ARE BRIMMING WITH ONE-OF-A-KIND PANACHE. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

There is no staple recipe for the perfect kitchen or bath. And while a few tried-and-true formulas can get you pretty close (think one-part design inspiration from your favorite shelter magazine, one-part your preferred color and material palettes and two-parts whatever works for your family and lifestyle), the time it takes to cook up all the elements varies widely from person to person and project to project. Only one thing remains consistent: The most successful rooms in the home are those you fill with the things you love. The secret to design bliss is knowing when to break the rules in favor of additions—like an elegant chandelier over a freestanding tub or a bold rug in the kitchen—that make you uniquely happy. On the following pages, we convince some of Luxe’s favorite designers to spill the secrets behind their most-coveted—and therefore inherently covetable—spaces.

Interior designer Laura Burleson didn’t overlook a single detail in designing her casual yet sophisticated workhorse space but still managed to have plenty of fun, playing with texture and color and introducing unexpected elements throughout. lauraburleson.com

Favorite element in the space? The campaignstyle sink base. I fell in love with a giant vintage chest in London during the remodel, but its dimensions were off; instead, I had a cabinetmaker build a replica out of walnut and brass hardware.

Share the vision for your kitchen. I wanted the space to feel like a dining room that happens to have a kitchen on the periphery, rather than a kitchen with a table in the middle; so, I eliminated traditional upper cabinets and designed the cabinetry to look more like furniture.

How did you master the mix? In this space, the walnut sink base and cypress ceilings dictated the palette, so I used Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath on the cabinetry, hood and walls to unite the wooden undertones—thereby drawing the eye to the more dominant elements.

A study in contrasts, this bathroom’s warm brass faucets from Waterworks pop against a palette of whites and grays established by floor tiles from New Ravenna. The washstand is from Palmer, and the sconces are from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.

When interior designer Marianne Simon decided she wanted to capture a bit of coastal elegance in a Seattle bathroom, she could think of only one material that would bring her vision to life: brass. Used sparingly throughout— on the cool nautical-style mirrored medicine cabinets from RH, the seafaring sconces overhead, and the pretty-as-a-picture washstand and matching faucets—the brass both pops against the clean subway tiles and reins in the dizzying intrigue of the abstract tiles underfoot. “Brass, especially the unlacquered brass I used here, is really hot right now,” Simon says. “It patinas beautifully and adds warmth. It’s a great alternative to other finishes, especially in spaces you don’t want to feel too sweet. It truly just gets better and better with time.” mariannesimondesign.com 228 / LUXESOURCE.COM

REAL ESTATE INSIDERS DISH ON THE STATE OF THE LUXURY HOME MARKET: WHAT’S SELLING, WHO’S BUYING, AND WHAT’S HOT NOW. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT

ON THE MARKET When we asked Jacksonville interior designer Jim Howard to share his design philosophy, he quoted Winston Churchill, saying, “My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied by the best.” These words seem to ring even truer today, especially when we look at the current state of luxury real estate. To the high-end homebuyer (or seller), today’s unlimited options and unprecedented modern amenities have created a whole new world of knowledge and access, but one thing has remained constant: When it comes to home, we want the best—the best home or condo, in the best neighborhood, on the best block, with all the bells and whistles. And what does that mean in today’s market? Here, we speak with some of the industry’s biggest power players—from a renowned home stager with an eye for what sells to the nation’s top real estate agents—to find out what’s prompting bidding wars all over the country.

THE LOOK / THE REPORT

WE ASKED FIVE TOP REAL ESTATE AGENTS ABOUT THE TRENDS THEY’RE SEEING IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS.

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

1

THE RIGHT LIGHT

The right lighting can make—or break—the sale of your home. A successful lighting scheme comprises a harmonious mixture of ambient, task and accent lighting, so a homeowner can easily choose the mood of the room and increase its functionality. The rule of thumb in interior lighting is to layer all three. Volker Haug’s Discus fixture (shown here) covers all the bases. It is simple and efficient with one exposed bulb, but its decorative marble disks, paired with a brushed-brass finish, create interest and add a pop of color. volkerhaug.com

Which neighborhood is the safest bet for a return on investment? In Greenwich, I don’t think of a specific area as having a better return on investment, but rather a home itself. I also believe that we have gone back to buying a home to live in and for family, not just for investment. Unless, of course, you are an investor looking to invest. Where do new buyers want to be? I have been fortunate enough to have young buyers looking to stay in the urban core and others opting for the suburbs. Barbara Zaccagnini, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? An 11,000-square-foot concretesteel-and-glass contemporary estate, all on one level, in Paradise Valley on one of the best streets in town. Which neighborhood is having a moment? Rio Verde Foothills is making national news thanks to its dedication to sustainability practices. What do buyers want? Contemporary architecture has become very popular

since we over-delivered Tuscan and Mediterranean design for the past 15 years. Most buyers are favoring open-floor plans, clean lines and an efficient use of space. Where do buyers want to be? Arizona buyers should be zeroing in on the 85253, 85255 and 85018 area codes. Frank Aazami, Sotheby’s, sothebysrealty.com

have, offices in the central business district and that is where their employees want to live. Traffic is a problem in Austin; so, proximity to where you work and spend your free time is essential. Which neighborhoods should we be keeping our eyes on? I would watch the areas close to the new Dell Medical School and the redevelopment of Waller Creek. These two pillars in Austin will be changing our city. Laura Gottesman, Gottesman Residential Real Estate, gottesmanresidential.com

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Which neighborhood is having a moment? The North Shore is well-established, but there is also a ton of new construction in reinvigorated areas, some of which are being built up by prominent developers. Where does everyone want to be? Millennials are staying in the urban core for an easy commute; they often do not have cars. Families and other age groups are still opting for the suburbs due to lower taxes, schools and the desire for a quieter lifestyle. Linda Martin, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS Where does everyone want to be this season? Our urban core is booming in both commercial and residential development. Many of the big tech companies have, or will

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? The highest priced home we have sold to date was over $20 million, and it still holds the record for the highest sale in Washington. It was an unbelievable custom home on the water with beachfront, looking directly at the Seattle skyline. Neighborhoods we should keep an eye on? Areas east and north of the city are seeing a lot of growth and redevelopment. We are excited about The Spring District in Bellevue and what that will bring to those areas. What locale is having a moment? The West Bellevue community on the east side of Seattle has seen the greatest appreciation year over year. Tere Foster and Moya Skillman, Team Foster at Avenue Properties, fosterrealty.com

center STAGE

Meridith Baer knows what sells. Her namesake home staging firm, which was started by accident in 1995 when she fixed up a home she was leasing and the landlord took notice, has grown from a one-woman show in Los Angeles to a team of 250 operating offices in L.A., Manhattan, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Florida and San Francisco. Just last year, her busy roster of designers completed nearly 1,500 installs. “Really what staging is, is a marketing tool,” says Baer. “We want someone to walk into a home and fall in love.” meridithbaer.com Why does someone need a stager? When you want to sell a house quickly and for the best possible price, a stager is a near necessity. You’re designing a blank room. First item you introduce to the space? Your large pieces of furniture are where you must start. You want to find the focus of the room—it might be a view or a fireplace—and plan your seating arrangement around it. Homebuyers are looking for... Comfort and ease. Buyers should think: It’s going to be easy to live here. It’s going to be easier than where I am now. Share what always helps a sale. A beautifully made, comfortable sofa that you just want to dive into really makes a space. Having quality primary pieces makes a big difference in a room.

A DRAMATIC LOFT IN TRIBECA Tucked inside an industrial-style loft in downtown New York City is a grand home currently owned by J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler. As stylish and colorful as expected, the Thierry Despontdesigned home features an entry inspired by the Maison de Verre in Paris, a rooftop terrace and lofty ceilings. Why we love it: The five-bedroom stunner was once an old coffee roasting plant whose signage still remains, adding to its charm. $27.5 million, 464 Greenwich St.; corenyc.com

The open and airy interiors by Axel Vervoordt are minimally decorated with crisp neutral tones, unfinished materials, sturdy antiques and handmade furniture. Why we love it: The 5,800-square-foot home boasts copious outdoor space complete with an infinity pool and sweeping bay views. $16 million, 4452 N. Bay Rd.; elliman.com

Florida designer Jim Howard, of James Michael Howard, has earned quite the reputation for his prolific work in designing spec homes. Unlike the cookie-cutter residences of yesteryear that gave spec homes their colorless reputation, in Howard’s turnkey homes, no detail or expense is spared. Each home comes fully appointed with innovative materials and custom furniture pieces (Exhibit A: the Sagaponack, New York, residence below). Here, Howard shares his tried-and-true tips for creating a stylish house sure to please almost any design sensibility. jamesmichaelhoward.com

Look around: Designing for a client is designing for a specific intent or a particular need. In a spec house,

you’re constantly trying to figure out who your buyer is. Pay attention to what I call the vernacular style, or what is happening in the surrounding area. It’s all in the details: Our firm has a strong architectural focus. A typical house for us starts with countless drawings of interior details. Those small things, when done well, are the soul of the house. It takes time, experience and passion. I always say, “There’s doing it right and there’s all the rest of the ways.” Tone it down: I tend to stay more neutral in palette and introduce color in art. In the house shown here, we have plenty of color, but it’s watered down, with varied textures and metals acting as moments of “color.”

STATE OF THE

ARCHITECTURE Since opening his eponymous architecture firm in Austin, Texas, in 2005, Michael Hsu has had a front-row seat to the capital city’s rapidly shifting design scene. His work includes such local gems as the buzzy South Congress Hotel, the much-acclaimed Japanese eatery Uchi, and other area restaurants, office spaces and luxury residences. “There’s a pursuit to be fresh in design, entrepreneurship and culture,” say Hsu of his design-forward locale. “Austin still has a local vibe, but things that we look toward are no longer regional; they are international.” We sat down with the busy architect to discuss the state of architecture today—and where it’s headed. hsuoffice.com

How have homeowners’ tastes changed since you founded your firm 11 years ago? Homeowners are less tied to specific design style or aesthetic. The influence of social media has changed our clients’ perspective on design. They are more educated about hospitality and style and have really amped up their participation in the creative discovery process. What do your clients look for when they’re building a new home? For the most part, they’re looking to construct an open dialogue between their indoor and outdoor spaces to create an extension of the home’s living area. Even when not in use, the views need to be carefully designed so that the inside and outside amplify each other. Where is architecture going? The way people live and work has drastically changed as of late. The usual hierarchy of home, office and hospitality is blurred; we want design in all facets of our lives. In the future, these spaces will continue to be a part of our lives in similar ways as opposed to different.

Most impactful spaces to remodel? It always comes down to kitchens and bathrooms, which are typically the first places a buyer assesses the date and quality of the home. Downsize or upsize? Buy a presale to downsize but don’t sell your current home until it’s required when the new home is delivered. This allows equity to grow on both transactions in a market that’s rising. realogics.com

What do you keep in mind when helping clients find a home? I look at their personality, lifestyle, price point and needs. Young families who stay in the city are often searching for highly rated public schools. In the downtown market, buyers want convenience, walkability and views. True or false: location, location, location? Absolutely true— especially in the high-end market. jamesonsir.com

Curb appeal or big-name architect? Both. Curb appeal is always sought after and brings an exceptionally high premium to a home, but architects that bring life to older historic properties also bring value. Market trend you’re noticing: Buyers choosing quality over size is a welcome trend. Also, I’m happy to see dark, heavy finishes being replaced with spacious, light-filled design. wolfegroupdenver.com

Any exceptional amenities you’re seeing? I’ve started to see talking toilets recently, if you can believe it! Upsize or downsize? Downsize. Get out of your living room and enjoy your neighborhood and the city you live in—or at least have a reason for your kids not to move back home! Stager or no stager? Stager. Making a property look its best needs no explanation; we do dress ourselves up, don’t we? elliman.com

Top things buyers are looking for today? Quality construction and finishes are first; next, is a livable floor plan. Whether it is family game night or an elegant dinner party, people want an open and flowing living space. Where do new buyers want to be? The “live, work, play” lifestyle is here to stay. People don’t want to burn a half-tank of gas to get to the office and back. waltdanley.com

If the kitchen is the heart of the home; then, the sink is its heartbeat. These days, it seems that high-end faucets and five-star hotel quality fixtures are ubiquitous with luxury residences. Manhattan’s 432 Park Avenue, for example, offers both spectacular views and modern furnishings complemented by polished-chrome fittings from Dornbracht. “Our quality and innovative design was a perfect fit for the project,” says President and CEO of Dornbracht Americas Ingolf Matthée. “As a luxury brand, Dornbracht represents high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and this exclusive building, which we are privileged to be a part of, follows these same principles.” The Deborah Berke Partners-designed model apartment (shown) features Dornbracht’s Tara collection— a staple in the German company’s repertoire—in both the kitchen and bathroom. dornbracht.com

MOVING ON UP

With increasing frequency, today’s luxury homebuyers are eschewing sprawling square footage and green space and choosing instead to stay in the city center and invest in luxury condos. In the case of The Sutton condominium, it’s easy to see the appeal. The 90 residences, designed by New York-based Incorporated Architecture & Design, feature lofty ceiling heights, stunning white oak flooring and sweeping views of Manhattan. The gracious units contain state-of-the-art appliances, such as Gaggenau cooktops and custom Watermark fixtures in the bathroom. The exterior, too, is clad in classic brick, which serves as a sort of ode to the area’s traditional building materials. Its design strikes the perfect balance between New York’s industrial past and modern architectural innovations. When can we move in? incorporatedny.com

There is no point doing it if it is not done properly,” he adds.

Kitchen Traditions of Colorado teems with possibilities to create, transform or enhance a kitchen. Located in the Denver Design District, Kitchen Traditions of Colorado is the leading purveyor of Elmwood Fine Custom Cabinetry and a full design studio offering a breadth of aesthetic and practical solutions, ranging from innovative storage to versatile cooking and entertaining spaces. “We are not your traditional cabinet supplier,” says Todd Shives, the company’s president. “We are a design studio that specializes in creating customized cabinetry solutions. We are committed to providing superior customer service to help clients design and create cabinets that are as stylish as they are functional.” With a portfolio that spans designs that are stately and traditional and contemporary and minimalistic, Kitchen Traditions of Colorado enjoys accommodating homeowners on their unique stylistic preferences. The emergence of full-access European cabinetry (where doors are hinged directly to the cabinet box, opposed to framed cabinetry), Shives notes, has been exciting to observe and engage. “Throughout my 25-plus-year career in high-end cabinetry design, it is inspiring to see the use of full-access Euro cabinetry gain market share every year over traditional framed cabinetry. The cleaner lines and more efficient use of the cabinetry interior has made the use of full access the No. 1 choice in the studio of Kitchen Traditions of Colorado,” he says.

ennifer and Mark Hopkins were no strangers to building custom homes—having commissioned two of their previous houses—when they made the move from North Boulder to Cherry Hills Village. But this time felt different. This time, the couple wanted a place where they could settle down for good. To help them realize that goal, they put together a masterful team that included architect Don Ruggles and his partner in the firm and director of design, Melissa Mabe-Sabanosh; interior designer Suzanne Kasler; builder Jeremy Larson; and landscape architect Alec Michaelides. The Hopkinses asked for “a magical piece of architecture,” says MabeSabanosh. “They wanted it to stand the test of time.” Ruggles and Mabe-Sabanosh spoke with the couple extensively about how to capture the enchanting quality they were looking for. “We knew the style we wanted, and we worked jointly with them to create it,” says Jennifer. “Don and Melissa are experts at the subtle elements of traditional design that we believe made the house great.” What evolved from those discussions was a symmetrical Georgian-style design. “Our brains are hardwired through evolution to respect symmetry,” says Ruggles. “That is why

so many of our historic, iconic buildings are symmetrical. We transfer the notion of health, safety and solidity to the form when we first view it.” Building upon that notion, the duo designed the exterior with a classic stone façade and entrance portico; an equestrian-inspired porte cochere stands perpendicular to the house. Inside, Ruggles and Mabe-Sabanosh turned to Palladio’s classic nine-square room grid to achieve the right scale and layout, and then they worked with the homeowners to develop architectural elements, such as an interior colonnade, detailed ceiling plasterwork and dentil crown moldings. “They were patrons who were willing to spend the time to work out the detailing,” says Mabe-Sabanosh. The owners also wanted interiors that would honor the architecture, and so the couple brought in Kasler—an Atlantabased designer known for her sophisticated and artful interiors—to make that happen. “I was looking for a designer who could help capture the style I was looking for,” Jennifer says. “And I kept finding projects of Suzanne’s that I really liked.” Influenced by the elegant aesthetic of the architecture, Kasler took an equally classic approach to the interiors. “They wanted a foundation of tradition but not traditional,” she says

Ruggles and Mabe-Sabanosh designed a Georgian-style façade, which builder Jeremy Larson constructed with three colors of granite. Craftsmen with R & J Masonry hand-pillowed each stone on-site before installing it, while Distinctive Custom Roofing installed the slate roof.

“EVERYTHING FLOWS VISUALLY FROM THE LIVING ROOM, SO WE WANTED TO USE PIECES THAT HAVE A LOT OF STYLE.” -SUZANNE KASLER

of her clients. “They wanted it to feel fresh and young and have a little bit of an East Coast sensibility.” Kasler first went to work establishing “an architectural envelope,” as she calls the palette of soft whites she chose to highlight rather than overwhelm the structural elements. “I like to keep the focus on the architecture of the space,” she says. “Then, you can do less decorating.” Executing that architecture posed an exciting challenge for Larson, who worked on the project with his father and partner in the firm, Rick Larson. “The entire house is one large architectural element, and hundreds of hours were spent analyzing each detail,” says the builder, noting standout features such as the porte cochere’s handmade copper cupola, the intricate exterior crown molding and extensive interior paneling. “There was not one thing that wasn’t discussed, drawn, redlined, mocked up and tweaked before installation.” The efforts didn’t stop there. In assembling the master bathroom floor, for example, Larson and the tile setters measured and cut the marble, onyx and glass tiles on-site by hand in order to set them into the correct pattern. “The house is not only a piece of art,” he says, “it’s a testament to classical architecture very rarely seen in Denver.”

The architectural team was equally rigorous when it came to initially siting the home on its property, which was punctuated with mature trees. “We placed the mass of the building to work with those existing tall trees,” Ruggles says. That thoughtful step allowed the sun’s path to dictate where certain rooms would go: The kitchen and family room face east to catch the morning and midday sun, while the dining and living rooms capture the soft afternoon light. In appointing those spaces, Kasler kept to understated hues. “Suzanne works with a beautiful color palette of neutrals with accents of color,” says Jennifer. The designer used this strategic approach in the main level’s central living room, which forms an intersection with nearly every other space on the floor. “You walk through the living room to get everywhere,” Kasler says. “Everything flows visually from that room, so we wanted to use pieces that have a lot of style.” In the expansive room, Kasler positioned matching sofas near the fireplace along with eye-catching gilded armchairs. An armless sofa from the designer’s own Hickory Chair collection stands against the opposite wall beneath an abstract work by Dusty Griffith. Topping it off are “little splashes of peony pink,” says Kasler about two accent pillows and two side chairs. “In a neutral room, if you use

Jennifer, an avid cook, chose a La Cornue range to go with the kitchen's Christopher Peacock cabinetry. Pendants by Gregorius Pineo hang above the island, and the counter chairs are from Kasler’s collection for Hickory Chair. Seveninch walnut planks from Olde Savannah in Atlanta cover the floor.

limited color, you almost notice the color more than if you do a whole room full of it.” Ruggles and Mabe-Sabanosh opened the anchoring space through French doors to a columned terrace on one side and used more columns to define the entry, dining room and study on the other. Kasler hung a hefty lantern above a walnut center table in the entry and wrapped the adjoining dining room with a wallcovering that she custom-designed through Arena Design; a rock-crystal chandelier and silk draperies lend glamorous touches to the space. Flanking the living room’s opposite axis are the kitchen—for which Kasler worked with Christopher Peacock in New York on the cabinetry—and a two-story library. The architectural duo modeled the library, which opens into the master suite, after the Library of Trinity College Dublin. The narrow yet intimate space has an arched ceiling that’s as tall as the room is long. A month went into its planning before master cabinetmaker Anton Kary of Kary Cabinets built the shelving and millwork. Kasler then brought in James Kirkpatrick of Fauxscape in Atlanta to give the wood a custom finish. “The paneling was beautifully detailed

in white oak,” says Kasler. “We wanted an unusual lime wash finish that we could only achieve with an artisan.” Outside, Michaelides, also based in Atlanta, used the house as his guide. “We almost always get our cues from the architecture first and then work outward,” says the landscape architect, who worked with project manager Catherine Everett. The portico’s columns are referenced in an allée of six Autumn Purple ash trees that frame the formal entertaining garden off the rear terrace, for example, while the vegetable and cutting gardens extend conveniently from the kitchen area. His plan, which was executed by Lifescape Colorado, was also sensitive to the dry climate: Gravel replaces water-loving ground cover, while meadow grass grows on the perimeter of the property. “We were trying to be conservative with the areas that require a lot of irrigation,” says Michaelides. Sustainable beauty could serve as the theme for all of what the Hopkinses were trying to accomplish with their new home. As Mabe-Sabanosh says, “They wanted people in 100 years to drive by and see that the house is as fresh and new as the day they built it.”

Kasler gave the master bedroom a more contemporary feel with a leather-upholstered headboard and bench, both by Nancy Corzine. The drapery fabric is by Travers, and the silk-velvet on the bench and accent pillow is by Zoffany.

IDEA

AMERICAN HISTORY GETS AN UNEXPECTED UPDATE IN THE TEXTUAL AND HUMOROUS PAINTINGS OF DENVER ARTIST SHAWN HUCKINS. WRITTEN BY LAUREN A. GREENE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY REBECCA STUMPF

Y

ears before Hamilton rapped its way to Broadway stardom, artist Shawn Huckins was imagining a world where American history collided with today’s modern methods of communication. And the results of his musings—whimsical paintings that juxtapose 18th- and 19th-century classic works with pitchperfect text culled from the lexicon of social media—are guaranteed to make you LOL. “A person can learn a lot from years past,” says Huckins. “I think it’s human nature to try and update something to make it new and fresh.” To achieve his concept, Huckins painstakingly reproduces early American paintings, mostly portraits, within the public domain from his Denver studio. After first priming the canvas with bright white paint, Huckins pencils in the entire design and tapes off the lettering. Using rich layers of acrylics, he completes the composition before peeling off the tape to reveal the textual overlay. In looking for words to use, Huckins finds Twitter to be the best resource. “I never use my own text since it would be too contrived,” he says. “And borrowing from the real world allows my work to retain a certain authenticity.” Looking at his skillful portfolio it’s hard to believe Huckins was never formally trained in classical portraiture. In fact, before this idea came about, he strategically avoided painting LUXESOURCE.COM / 285

Denver artist Shawn Huckins begins his process by stretching his own canvas (below, right) and using a computer to compose the placement of text, culled from social media, over a historical image (bottom). He uses tape to cover the text as he paints and peels it away to reveal the finished piece (opposite).

“MY APPROACH TO MY WORK IS THAT OF HUMOR, BUT I THINK I CAN STILL COMMUNICATE AN UNDERLYING SERIOUS MESSAGE.”

his subjects’ faces—as he did in a prior series called Paint Chips—by turning them away from the viewer or obscuring them with humorous props like paper bags. “Although I majored in studio arts in college, I never took a portraiture course, so the idea of painting faces was completely intimidating,” Huckins admits. It wasn’t until some gentle ribbing by his cousin provoked a change—and a new direction in his work. “While camping together back in 2009 we got into a discussion about my art, and he began teasing me that I couldn’t paint faces despite being a skilled technical painter,” says the artist. “I immediately went home and set out to prove him wrong.” Referencing the work of American masters like John Singleton Copley and Gilbert Stuart, Huckins began the slow and steady process of self-education. When one of his practice portraits accidentally ended up beneath a piece of tracing paper with the acronym LOL drawn on it, the combination caught Huckins’ eye. “I saw the face

below the text and found that contrast of the old and new fascinating,” he says. With that seed of inspiration sown, Huckins started to develop this new body of work. After his first completed text painting sold for face value and won an award at a benefit art auction, he knew he was onto something good. On the surface, these meme-like masterpieces are meant to elicit a laugh, but the artist—whose work is represented at Goodwin Fine Art—also invites the viewer to think more deeply. “My approach to my work is that of humor, but I think I can still communicate an underlying serious message,” he says. “This particular series deals with how we communicate with each other and possibly how our language is devolving. Just because you can send a thousand texts in one day, is there any value in the quantity of those texts? Is the quality suffering? As I pose in my artist statement, does how we communicate govern the value of what we communicate?”

Huckins (shown here) exactingly reproduces 18th- and 19th-century paintings, which he juxtaposes with modern-day social media slang. He keeps his painting table (opposite), where he mixes his acrylics, close to the easel.

t’s as if the house belonged to a New England ship captain who sailed the world and picked up treasures along the way,” says Chicago-based interior designer John Cialone when describing the collected and worldly aesthetic of a vacation retreat he designed for longtime friends and clients in Beaver Creek. “It’s a ski chalet with global influences,” he adds. “You could pick it up and put it in the Swiss Alps and it would feel right at home.” And although the couple wanted to update the home they had been using for years, they didn’t want to lose its traditional European flavor and casual feel. “The goal was to keep the original aesthetic,” says Cialone, “but have it function better for family gatherings.”

With that in mind, the design team took great pains in reimagining the spaces in ways that would feel original to the house. In addition to Cialone, that top-notch team included architect Douglas M. DeChant, who originally designed the house for the owners in 1998, along with builder Bryan Brubaker. The latter two worked together on a previous remodel of the home for the clients. “We were on the same page from the beginning, which made the process much smoother,” says Brubaker. This remodel turned out to be extensive, and almost every room in the house was updated and modified. New lighting and furnishings were also added throughout. Per the clients’ charge, the changes, while substantial, are almost LUXESOURCE.COM / 293

imperceptible. “They wanted their family and guests to sense that something was different,” says DeChant, “but not be able to put their finger on exactly what it was.” That concept is exemplified in the kitchen, which the homeowners were crazy about but found too small for their frequent entertaining. The wife hoped for greater functionality and “to bring the outside light and aspen grove into the space,” she says, “but still have it look and feel like Grammy’s house.” DeChant, along with colleague Ryan Wolffe and Cialone, physically and visually enlarged the space by pushing it back and adding an L-shaped porch behind it. The enclosed addition, which can be accessed from both sides of the kitchen, leads directly to a new covered exterior living space and the outdoors, increasing the gathering areas and drenching the adjoining spaces in natural light. “It’s like a traditional European sun

porch with exterior stone paving on the floor and lots of windows to emphasize an indoor-outdoor experience,” says DeChant. Outside, landscape designer David Probst worked with the owners to add new plant beds and native grasses. “We created a more elegant and simple feel without making it seem overworked,” says Probst. Inside, Cialone elevated the kitchen’s aesthetic by infusing it with multiple colors, textures and finishes. Warm walnut cabinetry is paired with an aqua-and-celadon-painted island and quartzite countertops, which were flamed softly rather than honed for a less-precious appearance. The range hood is plastered over to match the wall finishes so that it disappears and allows a backsplash of red, green and Crema Marfil marble inlaid tiles to become the focal point. The original cabinet hardware was saved and reused to echo the previous iteration of the space.

The same Colorado buff sandstone that was used as flooring in the new porch addition was carried outside to pave a new patio for a cohesive feel. The alfresco space, appointed with existing furnishings, is encircled with towering aspens.

In that main level and throughout, woods and architectural details such as hefty moldings, soffits and exposed ceiling beams, were retained and help to temper the large scale of the house and maintain its cozy quality. “The interior was influenced by enduring, sophisticated European styling,” says the architect, who laid out the house with an openplan main level containing the public areas, the master suite above, and a family room and guest suites below. In furnishing those volumes, Cialone was mindful about maintaining his clients’ preference for a collected and comfortable appearance. As such, there are no sets of furniture, and the designer worked with a skillful combination of the couple’s existing pieces, custom designs, antiques and unique reproduction items. “All of the new furniture was bought around the same time,” he says, “but the goal was to make them feel like they had been found and collected over time.” Fabrics, such as linens and nubby chenilles, were chosen for their depth and texture, woods were hand-scraped or planed to expose their grain, and existing furnishings were updated with a patinated finish for a timeworn appeal. The architecture influenced Cialone’s choices, as well. “Our team researched Gustavian and Scandinavian design as well as publications on European mountain living,” says the designer. “We were conscious that while the period details from Europe were important, they needed to fit into a house built for current living.”

LUXESOURCE.COM / 303

Cialone also subtly weaved brighter hues into the color palette of khaki, red and hunter green found in the clients’ existing furnishings. He introduced aqua to lighten the greens and corals to soften the reds. Large furniture pieces were upholstered in soft, textured fabrics so that the fresh new colors, the homeowners’ art and the alpine views could share center stage. “Everything seems warmer and brighter,” says the wife. “It’s such a happy place.” Cialone kept the red checked draperies in the living room and had a paprika-colored bar cabinet made to complement a cupboard painted with German-American motifs positioned in the dining room. In the hearth room, a sectional was custom-designed and paired with an upholstered armchair custom-made to match an existing 304 / LUXESOURCE.COM

chair for the space. “The new pieces are beautiful and subtle and complement the clients’ lifelong collections,” says Cialone. “The concept in mixing the new furnishings in with the existing ones was to not be able to tell what had been added.” The same could be said about the whole remodel. “The house is an improved version of itself,” says Cialone, who is quick to note the successful collaboration among the entire team that made that possible. “I’m always amazed at the variety of architectural styles and interiors that fit the mountain aesthetic. This ski house is unique, as it combines the best of European sensibilities with the comfortable feel one expects from a mountain home.”

Above: A small bedroom and study were converted into a larger guest bedroom suite, where Cialone hung a reverse-paintedglass-and-wood mirror above a Baker chest.

FARMHOUSE FRESH BY COMBINING RURAL AND MODERN INFLUENCES, A STRUCTURE NEAR DENVER PRESENTS A HOME THAT IS BOTH SOPHISTICATED AND STYLISH.

T

he farmhouse-style residence just outside Denver that architect Carlos Alvarez designed for his clients is a modernist display of many things—layers of rich texture, connection to the landscape and optimal function for a young family. “My clients chose a property in an area where there used to be farms—and there are still horse properties there,” the architect says. “That was the starting point. It’s where a farmhouse belongs. I then considered the fact that they’re a young family living in the 21st century, and that they’re people with very sophisticated, urban taste. The design for this house is a combination of all of those things. It evolved very naturally into exactly what it’s supposed to be.” The clients’ attraction to an area that was historically farmland was no coincidence. “I’m originally from Nebraska,” the wife says. “I spent a lot of time as a child on the farm where my father grew up. I’ve always wanted to live on a lot of land in a house that feels like a classic farmhouse, but I also wanted something new and modern.” The couple made their way to Colorado by way of California and Pennsylvania. “We wanted to go back to the West,” she says, “and we were drawn to the Denver area because we love the mountains.” The couple’s real estate agent and close friend 306 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Architect Carlos Alvarez designed a house near Denver with a modern farmhouse style.

helped them find an idyllic lot and then recommended they meet Alvarez. “We sat down with Carlos and generally described what we wanted,” says the wife. “He listened to our ideas and then took them to a whole other level.” Inspired by the natural surroundings and his clients’ lifestyle and aesthetics, Alvarez imagined a design that comprises angled forms clad with white, silver and brown reclaimed barnwood and bright white reverse board-andbatten siding. Towering chimneys and a massive sculptural outdoor fireplace made of board-form concrete punctuate the exterior façade. “The clients and I really gravitated toward board-form concrete as a material,” the architect says. “It provides great connection between the old barnwood, which has a lot of grays and browns, and the crispness of the white-painted wood.” Another board-form concrete fireplace and a partial wall inside the house help tie the interior to the exterior. “Forming those fireplaces

and getting the living room one to function as wood-burning was definitely a challenge,” says Matthew Pierce, the builder who managed construction for the project with his business partner, Stephen Stone. “That fireplace is 30 feet tall.” Alvarez oriented the front of the house toward the east and the rear toward the west. “All of the rooms are singleloaded,” he says. “This means they don’t have to fight for sunlight. I thought about where the sun is during each time of the day and every season; I wanted light to move through the house in the most beautiful, artful way.” To that end, the architect employed large windows with slender steel frames that flood the rooms with light during specific times of the day. “In keeping with the idea of a modern farmhouse, the windows have a rustic quality, but they’re also subtly elegant,” he says. In addition to the airy feel of the interiors, Alvarez provided his clients with ample ways to experience the outdoors. He designed the house in a U shape, which

bends around a courtyard, protecting it on three sides. “They wanted something that would give them privacy,” says the architect, who situated an open-plan living-dining-andkitchen area at the base of the U-shaped design. He then joined the interior public space to the courtyard with a large wall of folding glass-and-steel doors to effectively eliminate spatial delineation between the indoors and outside. “The space flows and draws people outdoors,” the wife says. “Also, my husband and I both love to cook, and we can be in the kitchen and just walk out to the garden and grab what we need.” Keven Winkelmann, the landscape architect for the project, underscored the fluidity of space by paving the front walkway, porch and portions of the rear terrace with Pennsylvania bluestone. “Using the same material in the front and in the back creates a seamless connection as you move through the house,” he says. Inspired by the architecture, interior designer Pamela Chelle—who worked at Alvarez Morris and has since started

her own design firm, Pamela Chelle Interior Design— appointed the interiors with a mix of contemporary and vintage furnishings that include sculptural furniture pieces, eye-catching light fixtures and textured fabrics and finishes. “Because there are vaulted ceilings, it was important to add warmth and appropriately scaled pieces so the airiness wasn’t too overwhelming,” she says. The designer covered the floors with wide-plank white oak and selected walnut and white-painted wood for the kitchen cabinetry. “The sofas in the living area are upholstered with a linen-like indoor-outdoor fabric,” she says. “And I covered the swivel chairs from Town with suede and velvet.” The designer then suspended a large Lindsey Adelman Studio brass-and-glass chandelier in the space and a similar one in the adjacent dining area, where a custom table with a massive live-edge walnut top and steel base provides an anchor. The clients felt strongly about working with as many local tradespeople as possible. “It was very important to them and

to us, too,” Chelle says. “The dining table and benches were made locally and so was the custom floating headboard in the master bedroom.” Chelle also sourced the pink-toned rug in the living area from a company in Denver. “It’s from Floor Coverings By CPA,” she says. “It’s hand-knotted and vegetable-dyed. For this project, I didn’t think adding a ton of color was appropriate, since there’s such a focus on texture. But I did want to inject some contrast, so I added some softer feminine colors to offset the heavier architectural elements.” Chelle and Alvarez knew from the moment they met these clients that their ideas and sensibilities were in tune. “Everything came together like it does in a musical composition,” Alvarez says. “It was really a true collaboration.” The architect was reminded of the like-mindedness when he recently visited the clients in their new home. “We were walking through the house, and they told me how much they love the way the light moves through it and how happy it makes them to be there,” he says. “It was music to my ears. I love blending the warmth and comfort of the past with the elegance and functionality of the modern world. I wanted this house to be beautiful and sophisticated in a non-showy way. I wanted it to be all of the things we all wish we could be.”

TRANSCENDING

TIME

“ANY GREAT WORK OF ART REVIVES AND READAPTS TIME AND SPACE.” THIS STATEMENT MADE BY COMPOSER LEONARD BERNSTEIN REMINDS US THAT INNOVATION IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT REINVENTING THE WHEEL, BUT, AT TIMES, REFASHIONING CLASSICS TO FIT OUR MODERN LIVES. THIS SENTIMENT CERTAINLY RINGS TRUE TODAY—PARTICULARLY EVERY TIME THE BIENNALE DES ANTIQUAIRES ROLLS INTO PARIS. THIS SEPTEMBER, THE CELEBRATED ANTIQUES FAIR OBSERVES ITS 28TH ITERATION, PROVING THAT WHILE WE EMBRACE THE MODERN WORLD, OUR FASCINATION WITH CLASSIC STYLE AND DESIGN, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE ELEGANT PIECES SHOWN HERE, CONTINUES TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
