Room Design by Melanie Turner Interiors
The newest modern linear addition to the Heat & Glo lineup, the PRIMO gives you complete design freedom, including the ability to safely hang a TV or valuable artwork above your fireplace. Zero restrictions on finishing materials eliminate concerns of overheating or safety hazards, so any finishing material – even real wood – can be used for a completely custom look. New SafeSurface Glass, doesn’t require a screen and keeps glass temperatures below new ANSI standards. Available in three single-sided and see-through sizes – 48, 60, and 72-inch – the PRIMO has no exposed mesh or trim, allowing viewers to enjoy an unobstructed view of their fire, which features LED lighting in seven colors options. The PRIMO also makes it possible to comfortably enjoy the ambiance of a fire year-round thanks to a brandnew, exclusive PowerFlow™ Heat Management System, which provides precision heat control at the flip of a switch. Heat can be distributed two ways – via Interior Heat Zones to the room the fireplace is in or an adjacent room, or via Exterior Heat Zones to direct heat outside the home – allowing you to enjoy the beauty of your fireplace in comfort, no matter the season.

HOME AUTOMATION
MADE EASY “What began as a small business operating from Shawn Hansson’s home garage over 13 years ago has evolved into an award-winning automation company that stands apart from the rest.” “Our goal is to provide faster response times, easy-to-use technology from an iPad or any mobile device and round-the-clock support. We use only brands, such as Crestron, which have been tested and vetted in our own testing facility with proven success,” Hansson says. “It is this quality of product and service that led to us being named ‘Best AV Company Colorado’ by readers of ColoradoBiz magazine in June 2016.” From home theaters and bedrooms to spa baths and kitchens, Logic Integration makes home automation easy for homeowners. Whether creating a true home theater experience with smart lighting and acoustic and visual treatments or offering comfort and convenience at your fingertips in the kitchen or spa bath, Logic Integration provides reliable, scalable, easy-to-install options to suit every budget, lifestyle and need. In addition to the company’s extensive residential work, Logic Integration has made a name for itself as one of the top commercial audiovisual companies in the nation as well. “We have done work for many Fortune 500 companies, government facilities, resorts and more,” Hansson says. With sophisticated technology, an innovative approach and creative customer service, Logic Integration transforms simple spaces into extraordinary experiences!

Clockwise from top left: A few of the outstanding projects displayed in our Eye on Design pages include a dining room by California designer Chloe Redmond Warner, a kitchen by New York interior designer Jenny Wolf, a verdant vegetable garden in Marin County by landscape designer Valerie Erdman and an entry courtyard by Illinois-based Morgante-Wilson Architects.
EYE ON DESIGN Design is not only a transportive experience but a reflection of our culture, fashion, art and architecture as well. At its best, great residential design summons the idea of a place and is rooted and connected to the local landscape, adding a sense of appropriateness and indigenous commentary. For this special Design 2017 issue, we’ve thrown open the doors and uncovered the best of what makes a home stylish. From kitchens and color to architecture, materials and outdoor living, we present inspiration, ideas and expert advice from top local talent in the industry—architects, interior designers, builders and other design pros. This January/February issue also marks our sixth-annual Gold List, a collection of individuals and firms from across the country who are at the top of their game. I hope this latest issue leaves you inspired and filled with a head full of rousing design ideas!

DESIGN BRIEFS WITH EMILY CONLEY … Good design is … pleasing to the eye! It’s when all the elements of a space come together, creating harmony and balance. My key influences are … my peers! I’ve worked with some incredible designers and learned from all of them. I wouldn’t be where I am now without them or my great clients. Three words that best describe my company are … thoughtful, enduring and inspiring.

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
What do you enjoy most about design? The thing I love most about design is the story that it can tell. I gravitate toward spaces that have something to say about the owner: where they’ve been, what they like, who they love. Soulless spaces are not my thing, and I’m obsessed with creating a globally inspired home for myself. Whenever I travel I seek out smaller design stores, antiques and flea markets, and boutiques that feature local designers. My biggest design and travel pet peeve is people who buy kitschy souvenirs. Prized possessions: I’ve moved quite a bit while chasing my career. It’s exhilarating, but it also means I tend to clean house every year or two. So, if an object sticks with me, then it’s quite special. My favorites include a set of hand-carved olive wood bowls inlaid with bone detailing that I picked up while traveling through Africa, a vintage brass bar cart I drove three hours one-way to pick up off an antiques dealer, and a wall-sized map of the world. It wasn’t expensive and doesn’t have a fancy frame, but in all the places I’ve tried to make look like home over the years, it’s always occupied a wall. Favorite Luxe interview: Photographer and designer Martyn Thompson was a fascinating person to sit across a couch from. If his eclectic SoHo loft wasn’t inspiration enough, then his stories of moving to New York and finding his niche in the art world did the trick.
CHELSAE ANNE
Photographer / Palm Beach
What would be your dream work assignment? I would love to photograph for an Anthropologie catalog one day. Best career advice you’ve ever received: The lens and photographer are more important than the camera. Current design obsession: A blue velvet couch. If you could have one hidden talent, what would it be? Resiliency. Favorite book on your coffee table: One featuring the works of American artist John Singer Sargent. Most meaningful object in your house: A four-poster platform bed that my husband made for us.
CHRISTINA HOLMES Photographer / New York I find creative inspiration from… My home state of Michigan. Nature and the natural linear landscapes of the countryside have always influenced me. How did you get started in your career? I shot reportage at a party where guests’ shoes were being shined with Dom Pérignon. Name one person you wish you could photograph. I would love to shoot a portrait of Paul Newman. What would your superpower be? Empathy and invisibility. Projecting emotion into every shot but never being seen in it. If I had a spare $20,000 to blow, I’d buy… Shoes for every occasion. And maybe even a day of my own time. Words of wisdom: Take the time to see the bigger picture in all that you do.
MAILE PINGEL Writer / Los Angeles My biggest creative influences come from… My library. At nearly 2,500 vintage and out-of-print titles, it’s pretty much an endless source of inspiration. My husband put a moratorium on buying any more, but I’ve snuck in a few! Whose work has impacted you the most design-wise? Big L.A. designers of the 1980s— especially Kalef Alaton, whose famous house in West Hollywood I drive by all the time. I think a lot about how he, and so many others like him, would have continued to shape California design had they been given longer lives. He was only 49 years old when he died due to complications from AIDS. Assuming that money were no object, I would purchase… A little Effegibi home spa. I’m so fascinated by all the new wellness products out there, like compact steam and chromotherapy designs for residential use. Ideal work trip: I would love to go on a driving tour of the United Kingdom to visit all the beautifully restored properties by The Landmark Trust. What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self? Just keep doing what you’re doing. Also, don’t wait so long to get a dog. If not a writer, I would be… A landscape designer—I’d love to create beautiful gardens for people to enjoy.

LUXE RECOGNIZES THE DESIGNERS TO WATCH IN THE NEW YEAR, IDENTIFYING SOME OF THE BEST OF THE BEST ACROSS CITIES BRIMMING WITH EMERGING DESIGN TALENT. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH
PHOTO: MANUEL RODRIGUEZ.
Blending classic silhouettes in neutral tones with accessories and art that bring us back to our cultural roots, this Alexander M. Reid-designed space redefines luxury with the innovative style that characterizes the up-andcoming batch of designers currently on our radar.
RADAR / NEW GUARD ALEXANDER M. REID
New York | alexandermreid.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Alexander M. Reid thrives on the juxtaposition of vintage and contemporary design for homes that are both comfortable and stylish. Reid’s fashion-forward aesthetic has endeared him to some of couture’s biggest names: leading him to design spaces for Rebecca Minkoff, Coco Rocha and Jenni Kayne. Using different textures, materials and bold color, especially moody black, he transforms spaces with warmth and depth. ON THE HORIZON: Reid’s agenda is full for 2017: He’s in the process of designing homes everywhere from Manhattan and the Hamptons to Los Angeles. IN HIS WORDS: “I’ve never been too keen on following the trends in home design—or anywhere, really. I operate with the knowledge and have complete faith that good design will never go out of style.”
▼ MEREDITH ELLIS
Austin | meredithellisdesign.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Meredith Ellis’ aesthetic is informed by the greats she worked for earlier in her career: Bunny Williams, Thomas Beeton and Michael S. Smith. James–her home décor showroom housed in a tiny Texas bungalow–has a cult following, further cementing her authority in ATX’s rapidly growing design community. ON THE HORIZON: Sister Parish Design, Elson & Company and Lisa Fine, among others, are joining the James showroom, and Ellis’ vignette for AmericasMart Atlanta debuts in January. IN HER WORDS: “I’m not afraid of tradition and the classical elements that have been around forever because I know how to incorporate them into today’s lifestyle. My goal is to give my clients’ homes a soul that becomes a part of them.”
MAX HUMPHREY
WHY WE LOVE HIM: Max Humphrey’s designs are pure Americana with a whole lot of edge (think Rosie the Riveter meets punk rock). His non-linear background as a musician and film and television producer influences his crafty style and eye for the extraordinary. ON THE HORIZON: Humphrey is currently designing his first restaurant, The Cutlery, and two retail spaces for City Home, a funky home goods store. His first line of custom fabrics will launch one by one in January and will be made in the states and sold exclusively on his website.
MAGGIE CRUZ ▲
Miami | maggiecruzdesign.com WHY WE LOVE HER: It’s easy to spot a Maggie Cruz home when you walk in the door. Cruz raises the bar for Miami design with an unmistakable polish and burst of color. Incorporating bold art into her rooms, she brings to life the flair and exuberance of the city. ON THE HORIZON: Though she’s always designed bespoke pieces for clients, Cruz is launching her first collection of stand-alone pieces available for purchase this spring. Maggie Cruz Home Collection represents her ode to Miami, inspired by her Cuban heritage. IN HER WORDS: “I’m drawn to the vibrancy and energy of Miami and to the texture and history of Cuba. My design style is grounded in tradition and balanced with modern sensibilities.”
IN HIS WORDS: “I like every room to show signs of life. You can tell a project is mine because it will be slightly undone, with artwork everywhere, and there won’t be any karate-chopped pillows.”
CAITLIN MURRAY Los Angeles | blacklacquerdesign.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Though Caitlin Murray is meticulous and detailoriented, her interiors are as effortlessly cool as they come. Innovative combinations in pattern, color and material make for joyful spaces that reflect the laid-back sophistication of their Southern California surroundings. ON THE HORIZON: Murray is expanding into product design this year and is currently working on an e-commerce extension to her website in hopes of launching a furniture line in the future. IN HER WORDS: “I lead with intuition and emotion, which makes every project unique. The creative process feels very fluid to me, and too much analyzing throws me off.”

WESLEY MOON
New York | wesleymoon.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Wesley Moon’s bold aesthetic and unrestrained use of wild patterns and statement-making pieces attract the most fashionable clientele. ON THE HORIZON: T. Camille Martin of TCM Studio and Aaron McIntire from Gunn Landscape Architecture are aiding Moon with the customization of a West Village triplex penthouse, created from two adjoining town houses. IN HIS WORDS: “I don’t like rooms that feel ‘decorated.’ I prefer a curated collection of beautiful furniture and objects that make it seem like the room has been evolving for years, and will continue to do so.”
STEPHANIE HAUPTLI
Los Angeles | hauptlihaus.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Stephanie Hauptli’s European background informs her multidisciplinary design work, where she blends functionality with beauty in ethereal, contemporary spaces. ON THE HORIZON: Hauptli is working on an NYC loft, an L.A. yoga studio and a restoration project with her husband, architect Andrew Obermeyer.
COLIN GRIFFITH
IN HER WORDS: “My interiors feature a strong contrast: This could be as simple as an icy gray fabric paired with an otherwise warm palette.”
Denver | griffithid.com
WHY WE LOVE HIM: Colin Griffith’s designs have the ease and coziness of classic Colorado design, without being over-designed. They feel lived-in and nostalgic, as if they’ve been family homes for decades. His trick is a curated use of comfortable, classic elements remastered in luxurious materials. ON THE HORIZON: Griffith will be traveling to Europe, South America and Asia for design inspiration this year with the hope of building his network of craftsmen and specialists. IN HIS WORDS: “I love seeing and hearing my clients talk about their projects with an increased awareness of space, function and how they want to live within the home.”
LAURA KEHOE
WHY WE LOVE HER: Laura Kehoe pulls inspiration from everywhere: blasting music in her studio while leafing through books and looking at images from her travels. Her style is true to both her California roots and to her firm’s home base in Arizona; she works with the environment, uses natural materials, color and light, and adds a touch of bohemian ease.
KATIE STOREY
San Francisco | storeydesign.co WHY WE LOVE HER: Focusing on an individualized approach, Katie Storey aims to create spaces that serve as extensions of her clients’ personalities. From renovating classic Victorian town houses to designing modern homes, Storey adapts to her clients’ styles to make them feel at home. ON THE HORIZON: Storey is launching her first line of signature textiles and home goods to complement her crisp, refined design style. IN HER WORDS: “We aren’t designing for Spring 2017. We’re designing for your life, because we know spaces that function better feel better.”
ON THE HORIZON: Kehoe is excited about a large project built in the foothills of Ahwatukee, which will feature traditional elements and French country touches. Because it’s not a typical design for a home on a mountainside in Arizona, Kehoe is focusing on making sure the home seamlessly blends in with its environment. IN HER WORDS: “Our aesthetic is both elegant and very livable, and our approach is one of soft-handed guidance where we collaborate and listen to our clients.”

His background as a finearts scholar informs his projects, which often rely on edgy statement pieces and luxurious materials to craft polished interiors. ON THE HORIZON: McFarlain is shifting his focus to an upcoming commercial venture, bringing a fresh, luxury approach to this new space. IN HIS WORDS: “When I design a space, I consider everything from architecture to furnishings to create a harmonious aesthetic.

RADAR / DEBUT
REVVED & READY DESIGNER CAM CROCKFORD EXPERIMENTS WITH RAW MATERIALS TO CONSTRUCT USEFUL WORKS OF ART FOR HIS BUZZED-ABOUT FURNITURE DEBUT. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER
PORTRAIT: ALBERTO LACCOURREYE.
“My style is very sculptural and free-flowing,” says Brooklyn-based artist and craftsman Cam Crockford of his recently launched modern Deco furniture line. The groundbreaking debut, an artful and refreshing take on traditional and timeless forms, has garnered praise from some of the industry’s most discerning patrons—and it’s easy to see why. The collection distinctly embodies Crockford’s innate passion for timeless design and his deep appreciation for organic lines and textures, which he explores without sacrificing form or function. “Everything I make is a one-ofa-kind custom piece of art,” says Crockford. “My work is really about taking a raw material and manipulating it into a usable sculpture.” But Crockford is no overnight sensation: Since moving to New York City in 2010, he has held many behind-the-scenes positions with a number of notable artisans, including Tom Fruin, whose public art installations have recently become fixtures along the Brooklyn skyline, and custom furniture maker Mark Jupiter. A true artist and fabricator at heart since childhood, Crockford’s enthusiasm for his craft, hands-on mentality and intense curiosity to learn new techniques using
unexpected materials have driven him to evolve and, consequently, stumble upon fortuitous circumstances. When his friend, who works for a high-end designer, had an unusual fixture that he needed assistance devising, Crockford tackled the project without hesitation. “Two days later, he and his boss came over and were pleasantly surprised with what I had produced,” he says. “Some call it luck, but to me, it’s what happens when skilled preparation collides with opportunity. It was the turning point of my career.” Inspired by his world travels and prolific artists, like Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali, Crockford’s creative process starts as an improvisational exercise of roughly assembling shapes and pairing colors with complementary textures. “I usually
begin a project with scraps from my studio, and once I have a ‘palette’ for each piece, I start to manipulate the materials into their final form,” explains Crockford. Using recycled building materials from past projects, he fashioned his first piece, the RawDeco sofa (shown), with old pine beams salvaged from a Bronx warehouse and brass tubing. “The sofa was a great foundational piece that I poured my heart into, and from this followed the rest of my first collection,” he says. Crockford will launch his much-anticipated next line this spring with the same gusto and ethos: He plans to continue pushing boundaries by using new types of industrial materials, as well as stone and glass. “I like to set the bar high for myself,” he says, “and try to never get comfortable.”

#INSTACRUSH @laura.arledge
WHO: Laura Arledge, founder of Fort Collins-based interior design firm State, shares her daily design encounters along Colorado’s Front Range through a thoughtfully curated collection of high-contrast photos.
AC HOTELS + LE MÉRIDIEN DENVER DOWNTOWN AC Hotels by Marriott and Le Méridien chose the Mile High City as the location for their first dual-branded hotel. Slated to open this August, the AC Hotel + Le Méridien Denver Downtown will reside at the corner of 15th and California streets. Though the two hotels will share one structure—and guests can enjoy the amenities of both—each will operate independently. Defined by its glass façade on California Street, Le Méridien will offer rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a full-service restaurant and Le Méridien Hub, a fresh take on the hotel lobby, where master baristas will serve up serious coffee drinks and the brand’s signature éclairs. Meanwhile, on 15th Street, a brick façade will mark the entrance to the AC Hotel Denver Downtown, with its open-concept lobby and rooms with streamlined furnishings, oversize picture windows and wood floors. Twenty floors above its 495 rooms, the dual-hotel will offer an open-air rooftop bar—poised to become Colorado’s highest. whitelodging.com
WHY: “This feed is an opportunity to learn how to see the beauty in everything,” Arledge says of her photos, which range from snaps of a simple scoop of ice cream to ornate tin ceiling tiles. Following her account yields practical design advice, too: Look for mood boards, product picks and introductions to cool local shops and makers. IN HER WORDS: “My feed sharpens my way of thinking and helps me practice design principles like balance, harmony and repetition. I intend to use it as a form of artistic expression and to help develop my eye, but if other people are inspired, then, hey, that’s pretty cool.”
THE INSIDER ANDREW RAMIRO TIRADO
Since 1989, Andrew Ramiro Tirado has helped others create art: as a studio assistant to painter Chuck Close, as an art instructor, and then, as the owner of Artworks, his own fabrication studio. But, last year, the Colorado Springs-based artist left all that behind to focus on self-directed work that lingers on a single theme: arms and hands, rendered in 3D sculptures and large-scale drawings. Built in a range of media, from reclaimed wood to chalk pastels, each piece explores the anatomy and iconography of the hand. Unconcealed pencil lines, sanding marks and exposed screwheads celebrate the artist’s process—“evidences, pun or not, of the handmade,” he says. Tirado’s work is on view at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and will soon be in the entry lobby of the Maven, the up-and-coming boutique hotel in Denver’s Dairy Block. Here, he shares the Front Range artists and galleries that consistently catch his eye. andrewtirado.com
Where he shops: The only thing I covet more than Geoffrey Keating’s shop, Keating Woodworks, is his custom neo-Traditional furniture. For furniture that integrates reclaimed materials, check out Where Wood Meets Steel in Denver and Revampt in Denver’s Cherry Creek North neighborhood. Gallery-hop stops: I regularly swing by Denver’s Robischon Gallery and Michael Warren Contemporary. They’re both on par with the best 134 / LUXESOURCE.COM
contemporary art venues anywhere. I’m also partial to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and its tasteful and expansive addition by Denver’s Tryba Architects. On the Colorado Springs arts scene: Not unlike the burgeoning artisanal coffee scene, there’s some really quality stuff brewing locally—more every day, it seems. Within a half-mile radius of my home and studio are excellent galleries, museums, shops and workshops. While it’s
great to have Denver, Santa Fe, Aspen and Taos in the region, I’m happy things are blooming close to home. My favorite local artist is Manitou Springs’ Floyd D. Tunson; his talent, inspiration and encouragement many years ago caused me to start down this path. One to watch: I’m a big fan of artist Teresa Booth Brown. The compositional and color sensibilities in her abstractions (paintings and works on paper) are just peerless. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY HANNAH TOLES

WHAT: Much like her own midcentury home, Arledge’s feed is a minimal and ever-evolving composition with pops of artwork, furnishings and bold graphics. You’ll find design details with classicAmericana and artisan-crafted styles, plus glimpses of Arledge’s favorite area haunts and plenty of inspiration from her ongoing home renovation.

DATE BOOK PAUL ANDERSEN
Denver native Paul Andersen has studied, practiced and taught architecture on the West Coast, on the East Coast and at any number of points between. But when he started his own firm, Independent Architecture, in 2009, Denver felt like the ideal home base. “It still has a frontier mentality: We can try things here that might not fly in other cities,” he explains. “People realize that architecture is not a life-or-death proposition, so we can get a little weird.” Andersen’s outside-thebox designs include an array of residential, urban and cultural projects, such as the Catamount Institute’s spiral-shaped dormitory on Pikes Peak, the Bubble Garden installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and, soon to be built, a steel-panel-clad residence in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood. Through his work, Andersen aims to respond to changes in contemporary culture with thoughtful, if unusual, new design possibilities. “We’re curious about history, design conventions and what we can accomplish by treating both irreverently,” he says. “At the same time, we try to make our work accessible to a broad audience. Our best projects encourage people to see architecture with new eyes.” Take his Denver day trip, below, if you’re seeking an equally fresh perspective on the Mile High City. independentarchitecture.com 9 a.m. Start the day at Stowaway Coffee & Kitchen, where you’ll find good food served in a nice bright space. I usually order the muesli. 10 a.m. It’s no secret that the best place to view great architecture in Denver is around Civic Center Park. Check out the main branch of the Denver Public Library, a Postmodern building designed by the late Michael Graves. In the same area, the Denver Art Museum’s Gio Pontiand Daniel Libeskind-designed buildings are also spectacular. 12 p.m. For lunch, stop by an old standby: El Taco De Mexico, at West 7th Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. Order anything, so long as it’s smothered.
136 / LUXESOURCE.COM
1 p.m. Take a little road trip north to Mendoza Used Brick and Demolition Services, which sorts salvage materials into piles by type, size and color. I always enjoy walking around the yard, where you can peruse the many species of bricks. 3 p.m. Head to the Larimer Street area, where you’ll find our office. Visit Charlie’s 2nd Hand Store, which sells new and used tools for a variety of trades. Or, walk to The Usual for a haircut and shave. Owner Bridget Mahoney and her fellow barbers will have you looking sharp. 4 p.m. Pop into Finn’s Manor for a beer and a quick bite. The cocktail bar hosts a rotating assortment of
food trucks, so you’ll have a lot of choices—and it’s a great place to sit outside. 5 p.m. Make your way to the LoDo neighborhood for the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, a black glass building designed by architect David Adjaye that houses galleries lit by constantly changing sunlight. Director Adam Lerner’s mix of intellectualism and fun makes
the MCA one of the most provocative institutions in the world. Give yourself an hour or two to see the exhibitions. 6:30 p.m. End your day with a drink at the café and bar on the MCA’s rooftop. If your timing is right, you can catch a talk on Marxism and kittens, porcini mushrooms and the American ideal or some other seemingly unrelated pair of topics.

For Denver-based In-Site Design Group, clients reign supreme. “We strive to create environments that our clients will immediately recognize as their own and that function in harmony with their unique needs and lifestyle,” says owner Colleen Johnson, ASID. As the principal interior designer of In-Site, Johnson leads every project the firm takes on. “Unlike most top luxury interior design firms, when you hire In-Site, you're working with the owner,” she says. “This ensures our clients receive the highest level of individual attention and our more than 30 years of expertise.” Virtually all of In-Site's clients are word-of-mouth referrals, such as one client who has hired Johnson to design seven homes.” While client collaboration is key to her firm's success, joining forces with industry professionals and an international network of furnishing manufacturers, artists and craftsmen assures In-Site provides the most comprehensive design services and spectacular custom interiors possible. Taking this approach, Johnson has designed hundreds of homes for prominent clients over the past 30 years. Whether a city penthouse, beachfront home or mountain estate, she brings her customized, one-of-a-kind interiors to high-end projects from coast to coast.
“In-Site Design Group doesn’t have a signature style. The home is the client’s, and so its design should reflect their personality and lifestyle.”
My Inspiration … Travel and nature, but also a constant awareness of my surroundings and keeping my pulse on what’s going on locally, nationally and internationally.
Best Part of My Job … I love how a well-designed space enhances my clients’ quality of life.
How I Enjoy Giving Back ... It brought me great joy to serve as president of ASID’s Colorado Chapter.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
Magically traveling back in time to a period that shaped the first international architectural age of Art Deco, Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris marries the present day with the vibrancy of the Jazz Age. Influenced by a combination of modernism and bold geometric forms, these interior finds prove that this sophisticated style will forever remain a tour de force.

Model BEHAVIOR LUXURIOUS AND LEGGY, THESE SEXY SEATS STRUT THEIR STUFF TO FAVORABLE REVIEWS FROM AN ARTFUL CROP OF CREATIVE CONTEMPORARIES. WRITTEN AND STYLED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC PIASECKI
ROMY NORTHOVER ARTIST DESIGNBYNO.COM
Artist to artist: Helena Sultan’s work sends a message to connect to the present. As with her company’s name, Konekt, the pieces themselves, titled Pause, are a beautiful and simple reminder to do just that. On balance: There is a conversation between these materials—the shiny and the matte, the warm and the cold. This complementary opposition displays a true understanding of balance. Authenticity is what separates these pieces: It’s clear Helena’s designs come from the heart and soul, and that really reads on a subliminal level. Color play: Cobalt, a precious pigment, is historically used in iconography, while rusty red imbues more of a wabi-sabi philosophy. I’m drawn to the tension this unexpected pairing of the chairs and background explores. Last call: The Pause pieces are bold, contoured, tactile and considered.
CASTING CALL THE PIECE: Pause Lounge Chair and Pause Chaise Lounge THE DESIGNER: Helena Sultan FIND IT: konektfurniture.com THE INSPIRATION: The Pause lounge chair and its sister chaise were born from a desire to invite users living in a world of digital overload to take a moment and slow down. Through the Pennsylvania-based designer’s use of curvaceous fiberglass shells and alluring materials—copper, mohair, brass and velvet—the results are that of deep comfort, timelessness and a penchant to make one pause.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
FOREVER YOUNG THE PIECE: Contour Armchair THE DESIGNER: Cliff Young, Ltd. FIND IT: cliffyoungltd.com THE INSPIRATION: With a comely and clean design in mind, Cliff Young, Ltd.’s Contour armchair came to fruition, and with it, the generational and highly respected brand’s intention to brighten and lighten any space this sculptural piece will ever inhabit. With its inviting, lightweight form and stunning hide and metal options, this is indeed a mission accomplished.
SALLY KING BENEDICT
ARTIST SALLYBENEDICT.COM
Artist to artist: Cliff Young, Ltd., has been on the vanguard of modern and relevant designs for nearly 50 years—how impressive is that! I’m immediately drawn… To the simple lines, mix of materials and functionality of the Contour chair. It’s also attractive in that it has a modern Italian look that pops against this cobalt background. There is nothing finer… Than a supple, smooth leather to lie upon and break in to your own personal, perfect fit. The hide paired with the lustrous finish of the rose gold is a match made in five-star heaven. On keeping it real: Because the world is so inundated with the visual overload of others’ work and inspiration these days, true authenticity and original design seem harder and harder to come by. I find it critical for true artisans and designers to continue on with our paths and ideas. Cliff Young, Ltd., has always been a fearless leader in doing just that. Last call: The Contour chair feels inviting, supple, streamlined and elegant.
KELLEY JOHNSON ARTIST JOHNSON-KELLEY.COM
Artist to artist: Farrah Sit’s design aesthetic is so pleasingly minimal and functional and permeates everything she does—the Noir chair is no exception. Opposites attract: The strong and enduring quality of steel fused with the durable warmth of cotton is such a fresh marriage, visually and time withstanding. Anytime you take a risk… You learn something about yourself and the work that you do. It’s the only way to discover your truth and take a stance on the message you want to convey. Color play: The cobalt and rust hues of the background, along with the severe lighting, heighten the planar and angular quality of the composition and seem to speak the same language as the Noir chair. This study in contrasts, between the light and the dark, the hard and the soft, could actually be used to describe both the environment and Farrah’s design. Last call: The Noir chair reads as architectural, minimal, refined, purposeful and timeless.
FREE AGENT THE PIECE: Noir Lounge Chair THE DESIGNER: Farrah Sit FIND IT: farrahsit.com THE INSPIRATION: Architectural planes, airy silhouettes and sleek edges define the Brooklynite’s Noir series. A cool and clever exploration of “less is more,” the series’ star chair marries an unexpected pairing of steel and woven cotton, proving that opposites are often better when they’re together.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
LEATHER AND LACE THE PIECE: Artemis Armchairs THE DESIGNER: Kelly Lamb FIND IT: kellylamb.net THE INSPIRATION: Multidisciplinary designer (and cool Californian) Kelly Lamb took all the right cues from Artemis— the Ancient Greek deity, goddess of the hunt and mistress of the wilderness and the moon—when concepting this namesake chair. Leather upholstery and lacing reference the aesthetic of mythic times, while the metal finishes are fit for no less than a god or goddess, circa-BCE times or present-day.
WAYNE PATE ARTIST WAYNEPATE.COM
Artist to artist: I’m deeply impressed with Kelly Lamb’s body of work and the balance in her execution of color and materials. Considering its composition and angles, I find this piece disarming. On authenticity: As well-known American graphic designer Paul Rand once said, “Don’t try to be original. Just try to be good.” That quote has had a lasting effect on me and informs how I approach my own work and look at others. Clear-cut appeal: The Artemis feels like a classic, modern chair, but one that you were not aware of until now. I can never get enough of… Black metal and bronze. Historically, this assembly of materials has been behind the making of so many iconic pieces from the 20th century. A real beacon of luxury… Is the laced-leather detail on the back of the chair—so clever and unexpected. Last call: The Artemis chair feels clever, understated, graceful, sophisticated and effortless.
THE CLIMB THE PIECE: Sempione Stool THE DESIGNER: Natasha Baradaran FIND IT: natashabaradaran.com THE INSPIRATION: As homage to her grandfather and childhood afternoons spent lazing and feeding the pigeons in Milan’s stately Parco Sempione, Natasha Baradaran reimagined a sculptural stool that’s equal parts nostalgia and high style. Part of the L.A.-based designer’s new Curva collection, the stool and its counterparts are packed with Milanese style and are meant to celebrate dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing).
MIMI JUNG
ARTIST MIMIJUNG.COM
Artist to artist: Natasha Baradaran has a markedly effortless knack for creating harmony in everything she touches, from her interiors to her furniture. What’s most striking… About the Sempione stool is the intention and process that went into the realization of this piece. From the sweet inspiration to her ingenious use of plush and more severe materials, the whole design reads as a piece of art. On authenticity: Working in the creative world is a privilege—with it comes a responsibility to honor the past, respect the present and inspire the future. The ultimate luxury… In my opinion is being surrounded by artful works in your own home; I would love for this stool to live adjacent to the sofa in my living room. Last call: The Sempione stool is textural, plush, sculptural, heavy and light.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
FULL OF GRACE THE PIECE: Stool 001 - Ebonized THE DESIGNER: Vincent Pocsik FIND IT: vincentpocsik.com THE INSPIRATION: Stature, anatomy and cattle—a curious but oh-so-successful grouping of inspirations that led to the realization of Vincent Pocsik’s Stool 001. Stirred by the bodily structure of animals, specifically that of the bull, Pocsik’s design was crafted with the same elegance, strength and balance as that of the stoic and larger-than-life creature.
JOHN HOGAN
GLASS ARTIST, DESIGNER & CONSULTANT JOHNHOGANDESIGNS.COM
Artist to artist: Vincent Pocsik’s designs hold a soft masculinity and elevated feel that derives from simple, fluid lines and hearty materials. The attention paid to the negative space is really important to the sophistication of these stools. On timelessness: Vincent’s use of traditional materials is tried-and-true and makes the most sense for a stool. So many designs are beautiful but solely so; longevity and aesthetics should never be exclusive of one another. Luxury nowadays... Seems to be going in two different directions: Some concepts are more complex and involved, while others rely on the simplicity and quality of materials to say something more understated. Stool 001’s strongest luxury is its restraint, and I appreciate that. There is something about this form… That suggests anatomical movement to me. I feel like maybe the stools want to go for a walk. Last call: This piece reads as masculine, soft, strong, chic and stable.

Alberto Villalobos & Mercedes Desio Villalobos & Desio | New York, NY “The new collections at High Point Market get better and better each season. We love seeing unique, tailored pieces that are ideal for city living. The range of furniture collections always surprises us. The proportions are varied, so it’s easy to source pieces for any project, whether an apartment in the city or a house in Florida. The collaborations between designers and showrooms are always inspiring. After all, it’s more than just trends, it’s about offering individual visions.” “When visiting High Point Market in the future, use social media to navigate ‘must-see’ products that editors and others are posting. Also, be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and take in all the events and parties to catch up with your peers and revel in what’s new in design.”

Brit Kleinman AVO | Brooklyn, NY “It’s hard for me to pinpoint a particular product from High Point Market that served as an inspiration, but I loved the use of color in everything—a lot of warm neutrals mixed with pops of bright hues. I find that there’s always a product ‘find’ for everyone! I particularly like to visit Historic Market Square and the cutting-edge innovations that evolve from other small businesses that exhibit there. I am very inspired by manufacturing techniques and the story behind makers. A lot of domestic manufacturers have had to fight to stay afloat and that perseverance comes out in the innovation of the product.” Credit: AVO
Michelle Morgan Harrison Morgan Harrison Home | New Canaan, CT “I am always looking for inspiration in fabrics, interesting color combinations and mixes of materials. But color is what drives me. This past market I saw some great combinations that were consistently found throughout all of the showrooms. Blue was everywhere… in different shades and combinations, but steel blue was the color of the market. Pinks and blushes continued to be popular, and black and cream combos were everywhere in organic textures. Teal and turquoise, combined with black and pops of coral was a new look. Brown was back, but it was a brown with gray undertones. I also saw a lot of brass, and black metal legs and frames on sofas and chairs.”

“If you want to maximize your time at High Point, schedule yourself for one venue or area per day, and make sure to finish your day having dinner at the bar at the Proximity Hotel or Green Valley Grill.”

WHERE FINE ART MEETS FURNITURE ARTIST AND SCULPTOR ANDREA WENDEL’S FURNITURE DESIGNS ARE A STUDY IN CONTRASTS. OLD-WORLD YET MODERN, ARTISTIC YET FUNCTIONAL, COLLABORATIVE YET ONE-OF-A-KIND, HER CUSTOM FURNITURE TAKES CENTER STAGE AT HER NAMESAKE GALLERY, ANDI-LE ASPEN. “My philosophy is to blend art and function, not settling for the ordinary in home décor,” she says. “Surround yourself with pieces that have meaning, a story, an inspiration that brings a deeper joy to the owner.” An illustration major in college, Andi began her entrepreneurial journey with a business painting murals, fabrics and furniture. But it was a desire to weld that took her creative aspirations in a three-dimensional direction. Working in wood, steel, stone, glass and other materials, she created commissioned pieces for clients, which eventually led to her first line of accent furniture. Galleries in Aspen and Santa Fe soon took notice, and today, her pieces are included in prominent art collections across the country. Looking at Andi’s furniture, it’s easy to see the influences from the world around her. “My eye is always caught by the tones and textures of indigenous cultures … the adornments of African ceremonies, the textiles, the hands of the artist,” she says. “I love to take old-world inspirations and put a contemporary spin on them, and also see how a home’s flooring and walls put these textures in a new light.” Collaborating with clients is a big part of Andi’s creative process, inviting homeowners to become part of the final product. “I find the process of creating exciting, and it stretches what I do in ways that I would never have imagined,” she says. “I have a lot of enthusiasm, and it’s an honor to be part of someone’s home and surroundings.”

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH
The centerpiece of this Houston kitchen is the breathtaking island from Chateau Domingue; it was made from a 17th-century sacristy cabinet from Jaca, Spain. The large steel window from Atelier Domingue provides a more contemporary counterpoint to the exterior kitchen wall, which incorporates stones reclaimed from a house in Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Provence region. Pantry doors designed by architectural consultant and designer Sarah West flank the window.

CHARACTER BUILDING HIGHLY CURATED MATERIALS AND LUXURIOUS CUSTOM DETAILS BRING TIMELESS APPEAL TO THE HARDEST-WORKING ROOMS IN THE HOUSE. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
The warmth of wood, the cool touch of marble, the gleam of brass or nickel: There’s a reason why materials carry so much weight in the kitchen and bath. Capturing both the senses and the imagination, they offer a magical combination of tactile sensation and arresting beauty that goes far beyond function. Consider how an inspired mix of decorative finishes can elevate a room beyond the ordinary, or how a thoughtful installation of architectural elements can pay homage to a home’s history or bring context to a space where none existed, such as in new construction. Here, we take a look at the ways designers are using all manner of materials to add a layer of personality and authenticity to your home’s busiest hubs.
SALVAGED BEAUTY SARAH WEST
PHOTO: WADE BLISSARD.
Houston-based architectural consultant and designer Sarah West combines European treasures with clean minimalism for a fresh take on the country French look. Share your inspiration. My aim was to strike a timeless balance: The architectural antiques and salvaged beams provide a stark contrast with the clean lines of the vent hood and the steel divided-light window. Originally, the window was supposed to have an arch, but making it rectangular felt much more modern.
Let’s talk about that island. I wanted to integrate a freestanding furniture-like island in the center of the kitchen, reminiscent of something you’d have seen in France several centuries ago. It was a way to introduce history and have a beautiful piece anchoring the space. The goal was to have that immediate “wow” factor when you enter.
Why work with salvaged materials? People tend to like pieces that tell a story, but especially with new construction, it’s hard to add a sense of history to a space. Bringing in antiques lends patina and character. You can have a drawer handle and see where it’s worn from centuries of use. That kind of context is always appealing. LUXESOURCE.COM / 189
THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH
SURFACE APPEAL Less about form than function, vanities aren’t usually the first place one looks to make a splash style-wise in the bath. That may change with Chameleon Concepts’ Parsons vanity, though, which features a customizable façade with a wide range of finishes you can use to coordinate with the surroundings. The door front cleverly frames inserts of various materials such as tile, mirror, marble or leather, allowing designers and homeowners to put their personal mark on an otherwise underutilized area. chameleonconcepts.com

There are few places in the house where abundant lighting is more essential than the vanity mirror. With a three-bulb LED option, the Julien sconce from Hudson Valley Lighting ensures that you’ve got just enough coverage to tackle all your grooming needs, all while making a glamorous statement in opulent aged brass. Groovy satellite shades combine midcentury good looks with a dash of space-age cool, so your bath will be as chic as it is well-lit. hudsonvalleylighting.com
IN THE
BLACK
For the past decade, we’ve seen freestanding tubs soar in popularity, but one thing has been a constant: Whether they were vintage-inspired or contemporary and sculptural, soakers were overwhelmingly white. Now, the matte-black trend, so in vogue for kitchen appliances and personal tech, has made it to the bath in the form of the Warndon tub from Victoria + Albert. Crafted from a solid casting of volcanic limestone and resin, it’s harder and more durable than acrylic, and it comes in seven finishes. ferguson.com

These days, high-impact finishes in the bath go beyond mere tile and stone. Architectural flourishes, brass hardware and striking surface treatments combine to create unique spaces filled with character and an element of surprise. Take this Minneapolis powder room, where black and white is anything but basic thanks to a conversation piece of a vanity featuring a whimsically curvy leg. “The vanity is spectacular, but it doesn’t dominate the room because we kept the space dark and cave-like for maximum drama,” says builder Chris Van Klei of Detail Homes. On the following page, design talents from across the country share some of their favorite ways to use architectural elements, such as paneling and steel-frame doors, to impressive effect in the bath. detailhomes.com

What led you to your current profession? All things art and design have been a passion of mine since I was a child. I love challenges that allow me to create and interpret something that someone else will experience. Without design and concept there could be no execution of creation. I love that our work creates spaces that are relevant for those who live, visit or experience them.
Meet Wendy Yates of Abigail-Elise Interiors
Can you share a little about your firm and how it has evolved? The first design firm was based out of a home office in Southeast Colorado; expansion to Summit County began in 2009; and through our client base, we have completed projects all over the U.S., with plans to work in resort destinations in the coming year. What are the key influences in your work today? The client is the biggest influencer, always. After that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instinct.

abigail-elise I N T E R I O R S Success often begets success for those who have equal aptitude and passion for their profession. This is apparent in the dynamic, multifaceted and purposeful work of Abigail-Elise Interiors. Founding principal Wendy Yates, who has loved interior design from an early age, expounds on the philosophies that distinguish her firm and keep a myriad of residential and hospitality clients returning time and time again. “We live with purpose; we engage with diligence; we create with intention; and through design, we provide a culture and environment that is as tailored to each client,” she says. Drawing influences from the tremendous surroundings of the world and daily life experiences, Yates, along with her managing partner Nikki Edson, find equilibrium among the intricate and simplistic, giving way to sophisticated yet warm and casual interiors. Describing her firm as laid-back in attitude but high-paced in execution, Yates and her team are known for working in the moment, frequently creating a design scheme in front of the client rather than in pre-preparation. “Our process is organic,” she says.

For this spectacular space by London-based Peek Architecture + Design, an on-trend mix of brass, Carrara marble, antique mirrors and deep-blue cabinetry creates a sophisticated kitchen unit that sits well in the historic space and allows the ornate plasterwork to shine.
CENTER STAGE The heart of the home is not exempt from changing tastes: Kitchen design reflects how people live, and that’s constantly evolving. The ongoing popularity of the open plan has transformed this hardworking room into a performance space in itself. It’s fitting, then, that this lovely kitchen by Peek Architecture + Design is situated in an apartment that occupies what was once part of an old theater. It’s a fine example of how color, customization and materials are coming together to create highly detailed, bespoke spaces with big drama. On the following pages, take a look at the elegant upgrades we can’t wait to bring to our own kitchens this year.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT

bench MARK
When it comes to sex appeal, a cozy corner banquette certainly trumps a breakfast bar. An upholstered nook evokes the glamour of dining out without actually having to leave one’s home, but, more importantly, it encourages one to slow down and sit—even for meals on-the-go. Inspired by her clients’ love of Belgian design, Minneapolisbased designer Kate Roos opted for a freestanding piece in this family kitchen. “The hand-tufted navy blue bench rests on quarter-sawn white-oak legs to keep it feeling light,” she says. Gray cabinetry, marble countertops and brass accents complete the space’s warm European aesthetic. kateroosdesign.com

RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES Even novice home cooks want to know: What features do pros and serious foodies look for in a stove? “I’m all in favor of models with a range of heat—big BTU burners and also ones that simmer well,” says expert Mark Bittman, author of the How to Cook Everything series. One method of cooking that’s been heating up over the last couple of years is induction. The cooktop’s two biggest selling points are high heat and a low constant simmer. To satisfy demand, Italian company ILVE is introducing a brand-new 36-inch and a 40-inch induction range this year, like the one shown here. ilveappliances.com

Pendant lights in the kitchen continue to evolve from purely functional to all-out fashion statements. For evidence of this trend, look no further than the Dolma chandelier from designer Windsor Smith for Arteriors. Combining a Byzantine influence with modern geometry, the light features polished-brass hexagons that form a lacy globe suspended from a delicate chain. Whether hung in multiples over an island or as a singular fixture over the sink, the open basket-weave design is sure to throw artful shadows throughout your home. arteriorshome.com
OPEN f lame
For the kitchen of this Brooklyn town house, New York architect Elizabeth Roberts knocked out walls on the parlor level of the home to create an open floor plan. “The clients are avid cooks and wanted a place where they could socialize with guests while preparing food,” she says. Clear sight lines also ensure that all eyes are on one of the space’s most unique features: a year-round wood-burning grill with an adjustable rack. Navy blue tiles from Heath Ceramics surround the grill, making it as sleek as it is practical. elizabethroberts.com

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
There’s a reason why black is the first choice for cocktail attire. It’s perennially chic, goes with virtually everything and easily hides spills. Now apply those attributes to the kitchen, and you can see why a noir cookspace, like this one from San Francisco designer Catherine Kwong, holds so much appeal. “I wanted to create an area that was moody and glamorous, but also able to withstand a lot of use,” she says. Hardworking materials like jet-painted cabinets and brickwork subway tile set the scene, while unexpected elements like flathead screw detailing on drawer fronts and a vintage bronze mariner’s sconce add shine and contrast. catherinekwong.com

TOTAL transparency Just as the right accessories elevate an ensemble, beautifully crafted knobs and pulls add polish and interest to your cabinetry. For these Art Deco-inspired pieces, designer Jessica Ahnert Davis of boutique hardware company Nest Studio proves she isn’t afraid to mix materials, combining chrome or brass joinery with acrylic. The knobs’ notched design recalls the retro lines of old-fashioned radios and microphones while simultaneously maintaining an edgy, contemporary vibe. nest-studio-home.com

With backsplashes seemingly growing bolder and more luxurious by the minute, the hunt is on for tile that delivers on both fronts. Offering a modern take on the Roaring ’20s’ love for gilt and glam, the Gatsby mosaic from TileBar combines Nero Marquina and white Thassos marble in a lively geometric pattern with crisp, brass linear accents: No wonder it’s named for the character who embodies the style and decadence of the era. tilebar.com

HOT seat
Kitchen stools tend to skew more utilitarian than glamorous. Not so with the Geisha barstool from Koket. With textured velvet upholstery that calls to mind on-trend shibori prints, it offers a perch that is both plush and posh, and its gracefully curved arms and sleek, polished-brass legs bring a new level of luxury to island dining. bykoket.com

How does one soften the interior of a modern concrete house? Why you throw it a curve, of course! That’s what Australian architecture firm Auhaus did in the form of a sculptural, statement-making range hood. Rendered in brass, the dualcylinder design provides a striking contrast to the room’s clean lines. Using wood paneling on the ceiling and cabinetry brings warmth to the palette, and heavily veined marble provides plenty of eye-catching pattern. auhaus-arch.com

FUTURE FORECAST THREE TOP DESIGNERS TALK ABOUT CURRENT KITCHEN TRENDS AND SHARE A FEW PREDICTIONS FOR THE YEAR.
KAREN WILLIAMS
ST. CHARLES OF NEW YORK What’s the biggest trend you’re seeing? We’re slowly moving away from total open-plan kitchens by finding ways to delineate spaces with architectural separations or a change of floor pattern. We’re also seeing more walk-in pantries for storage. Any must-have upgrades? Luxury finishes, beautiful chandeliers and fixtures, ranges in high-end materials, even luxury hardware— you see, touch and use these things every day. Kitchens see a lot of use, so people have come to view these touches as a worthy investment. Up next? I think there will be more personalization and an influx of interesting materials in the kitchen, such as new finishes and exotic veneers. Be on the lookout for more mixing of metals and darker palettes, resulting in new levels of sophistication. stcharlesofnewyork.com
CHRISTOPHER PEACOCK PEACOCK HOME
What is on your clients’ wish lists? High-quality hardware in both classic and transitional styles is always important to our clientele. It is what brings the cabinetry to life and provides the mark of great design. Is the era of the white kitchen over? It’s evolved. Spaces still use white, but we are consistently seeing large sections of the cabinetry painted with a strong color to break up the neutral look. More than ever, we are noticing islands or stand-alone pieces painted in dark gray, and many of our clients are choosing to use black high-gloss oil finishes on their cabinetry. I see a shift toward darker rooms with a more masculine mood. Up next? More glass elements and dark metals like bronze and brass, creating a very eclectic collection of materials in one setting. peacockhome.com
JESSICA HELGERSON
JESSICA HELGERSON INTERIOR DESIGN Share the biggest trend you’re seeing. We try to avoid trends in our kitchens and instead have them architecturally reflect the houses they inhabit. I would rather be trendy with lighting and furniture, which is easier to replace. The worst-case scenario is to do the perfect kitchen for this year and then have it be… 2018! What’s your biggest challenge? People live in their kitchens in a way they didn’t in the past. We work on a lot of historic remodels, and it is always a question of how much we can open up the kitchen, incorporate seating areas, etc., without compromising the integrity of the house. Open shelves or closed cabinets? Both! Displaying a few objects nicely on an open shelf is great, but we usually try to place the refrigerator into a wall of cabinetry that conceals what you don’t want to see. jhinteriordesign.com

window
DRESSING Many kitchens feature a window over the sink, but few do it with as much panache as this Alys Beach, Florida, home. For this project, Nashville-based designer Chelsea Robinson drew on the Moorish influence present in the rest of the house. A swooping pointed arch highlights the window, forming a focal point for the kitchen as well as a recessed bay for the sink area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The juxtaposition of white plaster walls with dark cabinetry, warm brass finishes, Moroccan arches and a clay-tile backsplash create the perfect blend of modern elements and old-world patina,â&#x20AC;? she says. chelsearobinsoninteriors.com

POSS ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING AND INTERIOR DESIGN
Comprehensive design solutions are the hallmark of Poss Architecture + Planning and Interior Design. “Our structures capture the essence of the surrounding environment while simultaneously respecting and preserving their natural surroundings,” says Bill Poss, who founded his Aspen-based firm in 1976. “Our architectural and interior designs meld fluidly together.” This all-encompassing approach is the core reason so many esteemed national and international clients have entrusted Poss Architecture with private residences, commercial buildings and resorts throughout the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, Russia and beyond. With more than 45 employees, an interior design business added in 2002 and a second business office located in Carbondale, Poss Architecture continues to build its reputation for quality design and client service. While its diverse portfolio is recognizable for exceptional design and a keen attention to detail, the firm’s stylistic approach is ever-evolving. “Our firm looks at design with the long view in mind, so our style tends to be inspired by two key elements: the desires of our clients and the context and surroundings in which the project is located,” Poss says. “Ultimately, we want buildings to fit and be sensitive to the land, which we feel is more important than any particular style.” While its styles change, the firm remains constant in its shared sense of passion to fulfill dreams for its clients and the community, making a creative and positive impact on the daily lives of others.

Ask the Expert What is inspiring you now? We enjoy pushing boundaries in good design and enjoy new opportunities, whether working with new clients; designing new homes or new building types; or working in exciting new locations around the world. What do you strive to create when you’re working on a project? Timeless projects, high-quality design that exceeds clients’ expectations and projects that stand the test of time. Speaking to your line of work, what constitutes “good design”? A project that is not only aesthetically stunning but also fulfills its purpose. It needs to be functional, livable, comfortable and long-lasting.

SUMAN ARCHITECTS
Architect Michael Suman has always been aware of and connected to the space and design possibilities in all aspects of life. So it's only fitting that creating unique residential experiences for clients would come naturally to the owner of his namesake firm, Suman Architects. Boutique in size and approach, Suman Architects offers a wide a range of services, from full architectural to interior fixed finishes and lighting design. “Our mission is to tailor the design process to meet the unique needs of individual clients while unlocking the true potential of their properties,” Suman says. “We are driven to deliver imaginative solutions, yet drawn to long-lasting friendships with our clients.” A lover of most architectural styles, Suman embraces the challenge of creating timeless yet innovative designs that reflect each unique site, as well as the owner’s goals, with a thoughtful, hands-on approach. “I really enjoy the beginning stages where a design can wander through possibilities but remains true to its original goals.” Early on, Suman trained on large-scale civic projects which, ironically, led him to discover his love for the finer details that “enhance the whole,” as he puts it. From broad strokes to the intricacies of a project, Suman explores residential sites, materials and details on a more intimate level. “Ultimately, we strive to create synergy and purpose that result in a comfortable place of refuge,” he says.

Ask the Expert How would you describe your clientele? Sophisticated people on the go. I’ve been fortunate to work with very genuine folks who also happen to be very successful. How do you define luxury? Something that brings one great satisfaction yet is not a necessity. It is something that heightens your pleasure.
01
What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding? Allow the architect to take their goals and aesthetics to places they haven’t considered. Be patient with the evolutionary process of design to afford the best possible outcome.

Speaking to your line of work, what constitutes “good design”? That which looks timeless and tells a story from our clients’ life book. Making it unique and personal to our clients.
IBRAHEEMS RUGS & FURNISHINGS BOUTIQUE
Born from an inspired familial tradition that began more than four decades ago in Pakistan under the auspices of founder Kamal Ibrahim, Ibraheems Rugs & Furnishings Boutique brings a rich combination of craftsmanship, passion, artistry and history to Denver and beyond. Once a modest furnishings and fine rugs purveyor, Ibraheems has grown into one of Colorado’s most prestigious rug boutiques. Today, it is led by Ibrahim’s three sons, Uzair, Umair and Hamza, who have brought a fresh and intriguing perspective to the industry through best-in-class materials, meticulous craftsmanship and a unique and personalized design methodology. “We design from the ground up,” Umair asserts. “We believe choosing the right rug will set a standard, color palette and design theme for the space. Laying out the design foundation with a rug, watching it grow and seeing the end result is the best part.” The Ibrahims infuse their sophisticated rugs with contemporary flair while remaining loyal to the classic principles of rug making and design. “Transitional is our favorite style. You can find the perfect balance between traditional and contemporary,” Uzair says. “Furthermore, it has the adaptability aspect, which can move toward either side of the traditional or contemporary design spectrum.” Catering to a discerning clientele ranging from private homeowners to interior designers, Ibraheems Rugs & Furnishings Boutique is recognized for its budget-conscious approach to customer service. “We understand everyone has a budget, and we respect that. In every project, we strive to make it look as though there was no budget!” Hamza enthuses.

This classic 1940s contemporary French-inspired collection is updated with a modern flair. The pieces are dramatic, yet refined with an abundance of striking details. The rug collects the entire story of this room. 03. Ibraheems sets the standard in the rug industry, believing that innovative design, a selection that satisfies all price points, an eye for detail and a commitment to craft produce one-of-a-kind pieces. 04. The same Hereke rugs that became the Ottoman Empire’s sign of opulence and sophistication inspired this ethereal blue Hereke. It quietly opens a window to ancient history.

Color Color has the extraordinary ability to elicit a particular mood and create a certain ambience, which makes it a powerful tool in home design. But assembling the perfect palette today is way more fun than it has been in previous years when whites and beiges reigned supreme: Lately, homeowners have been more eager than ever to get playful with unexpected hues. Artistic wallpapers, print-wearing chairs, eye-catching window treatments, splashy rugs and patterned pillows are all making appearances, whether sparingly or abundantly. Combinations like white with black or navy will forever remain classics, as well as reliable backgrounds for pops of color, but know the rainbow is yours to pursue ever boldly. We turned to some of Colorado’s leading design pros for advice on how to approach color with confidence.
For the family room of a house in east Boulder, designer Andrea Monath Schumacher layered in punches of color against a purposefully muted backdrop. A subtle gray shade on the walls lets the vibrant reds and blues of the hand-knotted rug from Shaver-Ramsey and accent pillows shine. Schumacher upholstered two custom sofas with a solid creamy textile to let armchairs covered with a bright blue—a favorite color of the client—command attention.

Whether used strategically with a couple of prominently placed pillows or boldly with walls dripping in candy-toned lacquer, color often proves to be the defining element of a space. And although a homeowner’s comfort level may vary when it comes to diving into the rainbow, designers share here how working with hues that are muted, brilliant or somewhere in between can lead to showstopping results.
Erika Rundiks: Color is huge in our designs. Having an inspiration such as a piece of art, a rug, a wallpaper or a textile to pull from can be a great start. For this project (above), the clients are color and pattern fanatics. My partner, Katie Schroder, and I selected the artwork from Walker Fine Art to play a role in how this warm and moody guest room would communicate with the bold colors of the rest of the house. The wallpaper is very geometric and shows off the freedom and color of the painting and vice versa. Katie Wolfe Agron: I like using pops of color in artwork, lamps and pillows while keeping casegoods
and upholstery fairly neutral. But I really go for it in closets and powder rooms. You aren’t in those rooms for very long, so you won’t tire of bold prints. Wallpaper and loud paint there can be really fun!

Kimberly Timmons-Beutner: If I’m doing a monochromatic color scheme, I like using layers of color with subtle accents in adjoining rooms and on focal walls. If I’m doing a modern scheme, pops of color are appropriate against a neutral background. And if I’m going for drama or sophistication, I’ll use a dark saturated color and then layer in art and draperies in light tones to pop off the walls. Layering your design is the key to a successful room. LUXESOURCE.COM / 249

ERIC MANDIL Are people typically afraid or excited to use color? Clients are usually uncomfortable with the use of color, leading many to succumb to trends and what they are seeing in stores and catalogs. We try to show them how the appropriate placement and right amount of color can layer into their interiors to reflect the feel they want, as opposed to trying to live with someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastes. In general, how do you approach using color in your designs? My ideal color palette is grounded with a flavorful neutral used in several depths of tone throughout the home. The neutral background is then complemented by a strategic placement of accent color walls or rooms. Our goal is to create flowing spaces with balanced color placements. What was your color approach here? The owners wanted a warm, modern environment. For the contemporary feel, we used whites and grays as the base colors. These provide an ideal backdrop to highlight their art and furnishings, which bring pops of color. The purple mohair sofa is incredibly rich and quite regal when paired with the red chair. These pieces give enough color in the room to make it warm and rich against the cool white and gray walls.

TIPS FOR USING COLOR IN YOUR HOME 1. If you’re afraid to go bold, start small by introducing color through everyday accessories like planters, bowls or books organized by hue. 2. Define areas of the home using color through artwork by displaying vibrant pieces amid a monochromatic or neutral palette. 3. Look to nearby nature for palette inspiration: ocean blues, leaf-like greens and reds, earthy browns and gem tones. 4. Give neutrals a subtle yet interesting pop by bringing in metallics like gold and silver. 5. Don’t be afraid to take risks; embrace patterns and palettes that speak to you.
In designing the interiors of a Denver home, Eric Mandil played off the contemporary architecture with streamlined furnishings upholstered with textiles in rich primary colors. “Our selection of colors and materials made the contemporary home warm and inviting,” says Mandil, who paired a B&B Italia sofa covered with purple mohair in the family room with the clients’ Bertoia Bird chair by Knoll wearing a bright red fabric.

How do you approach designing a kitchen that’s part of a bigger space, as you did here? MC: Great rooms are tricky. You need to make sure they can function and flow properly, the furniture scale is thought through and you have proper color balance throughout. This design is unique in that it has a “pantility” behind the kitchen. Can you describe this space? MC: Yes, the pantility is amazing! The architect, Michael L. Woodley, gave it the name, and the purpose for this part-pantry/part-utility area is to keep “messy” appliances out of sight. What inspired the cabinetry for this kitchen? DT: We used the same white hue on the cabinets as we did on the house’s walls to balance the heavy stone. We worked with black very strategically throughout, and the band at the top of the cabinets was a nice interest point to reference the black window frames on the opposing wall. How important is lighting? DT: Lighting can make or break a project. We love to use decorative lighting as a thoughtful way to complete a space. The wrong fixture can cause a space to go awry.

KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
Nowhere is the design adage “form follows function” truer than in the kitchen. Packed with utility, this workhorse space is designed to perform. But more and more, it’s also thought of as a gathering space, where people are naturally drawn to congregate and linger. Here, design professionals offer their perspectives on how they put together this pivotal room without sacrificing an ounce of service or style.
Hazel Zeller: In my experience, homeowners seek to express themselves through the design of their kitchen. Whatever their style—clean, bold, classic, chic, eclectic—the kitchen should, like a good photograph, capture a bit of that person’s character. These homeowners and their home (left) had a sort of accessible sophistication about them; the kitchen had to follow suit. Anne Grice: The kitchen is so important for many reasons, but the reasons are different for every client. For most, it has to do with the “gathering space” that a kitchen becomes. I have one client who prepares a Shabbat dinner every Friday
night for 20 to 25 people. We expanded that kitchen by about 150 percent to accommodate all of the prep, cooking and cleanup areas for her and her family. Kam Davies: The classic kitchen triangle is a classic for a reason, and I am a huge proponent of listening to what works. That being said, a considered selection of textures and materials will make a kitchen a success. Make the space beautiful; if you can eliminate some upper cabinets in favor of hanging a piece of art, go for it. People spend a lot of time in the kitchen—enjoy it!

Materials
The materials used to construct a residence are more than just the bones of the structure; they become the canvas for the treasures, both practical and decorative, that transform a house into a lovable home. A top trend of late is bringing the outdoors in, as more builders are incorporating natural stone and locally sourced materials in their projects. Yet most intriguing is the personal spaces where they are appearing: a stone wall in the bedroom, a log ceiling for the master bath and built-in brick shelving in the dining room, among others. These organic materials strengthen a home’s connection to the outdoors, a common objective among today’s designs, with scenic views and as much natural light as possible also ranking high on homeowners’ lists of musthaves. Read on to see how the right material can impact a space in the best way.
In a Telluride house designed by architects Jodie Shike Wright and Bruce Wright as two separate wings connected by a bridge-like structure, builder Ian Evans sheathed a 50-footlong wall of the connector space with metal panels executed by Bennett Forgeworks. The metal, combined with the bamboo floors by Teragren, offers a rich textural experience.

ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR SELECTING MATERIALS 1. Mimic elements found in local nature to provide environmental context to your home’s design. 2. Make an architectural element, like a fireplace surround, kitchen island, front door or staircase, stand out by crafting it in an unexpected material. 3. Ensure the materials used in the furniture complement those found in the home’s structural elements. 4. To create a seamless eye-flow in a space, incorporate glass pieces, such as coffee and side tables. 5. Choose materials for the exterior façade that enhance the home’s surroundings rather than compete with them.
Inspired by the concept of renovating a set of old European farm buildings with local materials and modern interiors, architect Bill Pollock, working with project manager Dylan Johns, utilized simple forms and rustic materials for a family vacation home in Aspen. Four types of stone make up the great room walls, while reclaimed rafters pair with custom-built trusses constructed of fir from Montana to define the ceiling.

The fireplace in this master bedroom is so unusual; how was it made? It was fabricated with eight pieces of bookmatched material that is 2 centimeters thick. The translucent nature of this type of onyx provides a unique look and warmth in the room. Was it hard to install? The onyx was installed and mounted with standoff clips onto a backing placed in the fireplace framing. Ryan & Company provided the onyx and had to be careful
not to break a piece during fabrication or installation. Because the fireplace is book-matched stone, we wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to start over if even just one piece broke. Do you find certain materials to be more suitable to building in the mountain region? Living in the Rocky Mountains, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to choose durable materials that will withstand our harsh environments and heavy snowfall. Larger-format metal panels and standingseam metal roofs are more
durable than wood. We also recommend using pavers in the driveways, as concrete does not work in a freeze-thaw environment. How have you seen the technology or evolution of materials change over the years? Porcelain tile has evolved over the last several years and become a popular choice to replace natural stone products. Due to advanced technology, the tiles closely resemble stone and have a more consistent surface and a modern feel.
While visiting a Denver stone yard with their clients, designer Jan Chenault and architect Kyle Webb came across the distinctive onyx that would become the focal point of the master bedroom in this Beaver Creek Resort home constructed by builder Travis Bossow. Installed over sheets of LED lighting, the onyx gives off a magical glow when lit.

Few things prove as important to establishing the feel of a space as choosing the right materials. The rustic warmth of reclaimed weathered wood lining a wall provides instant character, while the appearance of marble or concrete can transform a space with a modern or industrial lean. In addition to aesthetics, as builders discuss here, the right materials can open up design possibilities, offer sustainable solutions and provide a tactile, hands-on connection with our built environment.
Briston Peterson: All of the reclaimed materials for this home (left) were hand-selected by the Brikor Associates team from Montana Reclaimed Lumber. The space is very contemporary and the materials provide clean lines, but they still feel warm and inviting. The use of reclaimed materials continues to be prevalent in the Aspen market, as often the project team is sensitive to sustainability. We’ve seen the use of these materials move from authentic reclaimed structures to applications in contemporary homes. Dusty Wise: Technology and material changes are being driven by the desire of homeowners to build and live in more efficient and environmentally friendly homes. In terms of sustainable building, polyurethane and other synthetic materials are not only safer than products of the past, but they are also far more efficient and longer-
lasting. These materials are being used in everything from water piping and roofing to decking, siding and carpeting. One unique product, not often seen in many homes, is soapstone. We are using it to line fireplace boxes, as it’s efficient for storing and transferring heat, and it’s also beautiful when used for countertops. Dan Fuller: The most memorable building material I’ve worked with recently has been repurposed reclaimed wood used for flooring, trim, doors and siding. We worked on a house where we imported structural timbers and log siding from Whidbey Island, Washington. The logs were about 50 feet tall and had to be craned into place. Then we fabricated panels of the log siding so we could apply it without exposing fasteners. We used an authentic chinking in between the wood members. LUXESOURCE.COM / 267

Architecture
Just like the best relationships start out with a solid foundation, so, too, do exceptional homes. Without good bones, there is little an interior designer or a landscape architect can do to transform a house from ordinary to extraordinary. It’s up to the architect to balance concrete and steel with the native site or find breathing room in a city brownstone by envisioning floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a courtyard. Architects are challenged with marrying exteriors and interiors to create a seamless look, anticipating how each space will need to function from the start and incorporating the right features to maximize the potential of every room. The structural details—clean lines, intricate woodworking or even a spiral staircase— are the first things to define the character of a house and some of the last things departing guests forget when they leave. Whatever the style, be it traditional or modern, a well-constructed abode should serve as a steadfast yet visionary beginning for a standout home.

1. Authenticity is paramount: If the exterior is a tribute to Mediterranean style, the genre’s ornate columns and archways should be introduced in the interiors. 2. Create an entrance with a statement-making staircase, with features such as a floating stairwell or risers highlighted in a mosaic tile. 3. Emphasize natural light by rethinking the home’s fenestration using clerestories, skylights and glass French doors. 4. Building materials should serve as an ode to the area’s historical character, such as classic brick in a New York condo. 5. Don’t sacrifice function for style: When building a home from scratch, focus first on how it will facilitate your lifestyle.

What inspired your design of this residence? Like many of our mountain homes, this one was on a steep site. Because of the slope, and to take the best advantage of the views, we designed all of the living spaces and the master suite on the upper level. The owners also had a huge influence on the design of the home, which is “Aspen with a New England twist.” And how were the materials selected? I wanted the stone base to make the home feel rooted into the hillside. The shingles are a subtle nod to New England Adirondack camp architecture—just a hint of what’s on the inside. In Colorado, I believe natural materials are the most appropriate. They make a home feel like it has been and will always be there. Do you feel it is important to reference the area’s historic vernacular in today’s architecture? I think you need to root your architecture in the context of the area you are designing in. The beauty comes with trying to reinterpret this in a modern way. How does Aspen’s topography inspire you? The mountains influence not just my architecture but also my soul. One time, a client asked me what were my sources for inspiration. I answered: “I walk in the woods.”

HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Whether inspired by the utilitarian mining shacks and agrarian ranch structures of days gone by or perfectly framing the state’s place-defining mountain views, architecture in Colorado remains closely tied to the history and land on which it’s built. As the practice continues to evolve, the following professionals comment on the importance of creating architecture in a way that works for today’s lifestyles while still honoring and engaging with the site.
John R. Cottle: In designing this project (above), we wanted to capture the quality of the aspen forest. You can really feel the presence of the forest on the site; it’s big, mature and intact. The owners liked the idea of incorporating a bridge, so the concept was to lift the living room up and put it in the bridge so the forest could flow underneath it. When you’re in the bridge and look out to the big views, you feel like you’re in the forest, and it still flows through the site. Gavin Brooke: Land + Shelter always adapts our designs to the client and the site. My personal design inspiration is rooted in the purity of nature and landscape and the spare, refined character of Colorado’s ranching and mining structures. This embodies itself as a modern architecture built from resonant materials inspired by local context. Paul Mahony: At KGA Studio Architects, we’ve always prided ourselves on diversity and high-
quality design regardless of the exterior style. It goes back to our belief that the best design is one that delights the client. It’s not our job to impose our taste on our clients; variety keeps my job interesting. If I had to choose a personal favorite, though, it would have to be old-world architecture. I appreciate the throwback to craftsmanship, the individuality of the style and the extra effort it takes to get it just right.

Harry Teague: For the projects we do in natural settings, the landscape and topography profoundly affect the shape and materiality of our buildings. It is impossible to ignore the mass and scale of the surrounding mountain topography; even large buildings are insignificant in comparison. The stronger, deeper projects engage in a stimulating dialogue with the landscape, and by engaging in this conversation, the structure becomes a collaborator with nature. As with most good conversations, both sides participate. Our buildings do not necessarily try to “blend in” but offset, expose and reveal the qualities of their surroundings. LUXESOURCE.COM / 277

ESSENTIAL TIPS ON FASHIONING A QUALITY LIVING SPACE 1. Create separate sitting areas in the living room for a dynamic multifunctional space—a sectional makes a great spot for watching television, for example, while a cozy wingback by a window becomes the perfect reading nook. 2. Add color through artwork, using the piece’s color palette as inspiration for the fabrics and rugs. 3. Enliven a room that lacks significant architectural interest by using wallpaper to create a focal wall or adding crown molding. 4. Invest in quality primary pieces, such as a beautifully made, comfortable sofa, to personify the space and set the tone for the living area. 5. Dark, moody paint colors are particularly of-the-moment, but be sure to put some serious thought into the color of your walls in your living space before committing; they’ll be the foundation for your design.
For the living room of a Boulder residence, designer Erin Iba worked with layers of texture and saturated colors to create a sleek eye-catching space. She commissioned a large painting from New York-based The Alpha Workshops and then had the nonprofit craft the handpainted wallpaper covering the fireplace surround. A sofa upholstered with a chocolate-colored velvet, a tone-on-tone hide rug and a rustic wood-and-chrome coffee table lend dimension.

What is your starting point when designing a living space? I try to start with something meaningful to the owner. Do they have an end table from their grandmother? A piece of art purchased as an anniversary gift? Or a chair with which they can’t part? Once that is said and done, I decide the layout. Then the function of the room will determine the palette.

Explain how you approach the furniture plan of a space. This is very much dictated by a room’s function. If you have a den for watching TV and enjoying family time, then you may not need a sofa in your living room. I like to include versatile pieces that can work for two people or a gathering of six. Wherever you sit down, though, there needs to be an easy place to rest a drink. How did the design of this living room unfold? The wife is very glamorous, and the husband is more modern. They wanted this to be a child-free zone, where they could unwind and entertain, so the idea for a “sexy martini lounge” was born! During the day it’s bright and peaceful, and at night it’s cozy and moody. Any tricks to mixing color and pattern? Using multiple shades and textures is how you bring it all together. The patterns will just look right or wrong. I like to squint my eyes and look at the scheme. If something stands out too much, then it isn’t right. LUXESOURCE.COM / 283

Opposite: For his client’s Denver loft, designer Colin Griffith created distinct spaces within the open industrial shell. Centered on a silk-wool rug by Floor Coverings By CPA, the living area features a Brownstone Upholstery sectional—dressed in a charcoal mohair inspired by the owner’s favorite suit—and a leather-covered ottoman by RH. Pillows made with a Romo plaid lend fashionable accents. Above: With a goal of creating contemporary interiors that would keep the focus on the views and artwork, designer Eddy Doumas appointed the living room of a Vail house with streamlined pieces in a neutral palette. The largescale Ted Boerner sofa and Jiun Ho swivel chairs hold their own in the double-height space. Left: In reviving a 1980s structure in Cherry Hills Village, designer David Hintgen created a focal point for the great room by devising a fireplace surround of marble accented with angular bevels. “It’s the star of the show,” says Hintgen, who designed leather-upholstered chaise lounges to sit nearby and flank a coffee table by Century Furniture.

In the living room of a home within the Beaver Creek Resort, designer Jan Chenault selected a few striking pieces for maximum impact. A large sculptural Holly Hunt sectional faces a coffee table and twin Holly Hunt chairs upholstered with a sunny shade of Edelman leather. A custom wool-silk rug from Chenaultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line, Intuition, helps define the open space.

COMFORTABLE QUARTERS
It all starts in the living room. Often the focal point of the floor plan, this central space—whether formal or fun, classical or rustic—can set the stage for the feel of the house and establish the aesthetic direction of what’s to follow. Here, designers share some thoughts on pulling together this important room and what it takes to make a stylish and comfortable living space. Jan Chenault: I chose this Holly Hunt sofa (left) because the basic design of the frame was conducive to what I had in mind for this space. I then started drawing it into the space and ended up with five separate sofas that created two very separate seating areas. The layout of this sectional was kindly made by Holly Hunt and was one of the bigger ones they have ever made. I dreamed about it a lot before it arrived—or, rather, I had my share of nightmares that it would come and wouldn’t fit! Robyn Scott: In designing a living space, I often start with the color palette, using fabrics. Textiles provide inspiration for a room and excite the client to kick off the conceptual phase. For the furniture plan, I begin with understanding how the space will be used. I then look at the shape of the room and decide what should be the
focal point, which is often a fireplace wall, an art piece or a statement sofa. But the key to a space is creating a seating layout that is comfortable for a party of two or a party of six. This happens by striking a balance of soft cushy pieces with interesting pieces. Jeff Elliott: There really are no rules for arranging a living room. In fact, a creative living room furniture plan can change the personality of the entire house. Sofas are not always needed, and a room can look far more interesting without them. An example of this layout would be a living room set with a pair of large chaise lounges and two dynamic mismatched club chairs. Whatever style you are trying to focus on, this is the place to use it to the maximum. Put your biggest personality pieces here for everyone to enjoy. LUXESOURCE.COM / 287

Designers Yvonne Jacobs and Frances Karsh brought a contemporary approach to a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Snowmass retreat. While they selected modern furnishings with clean lines, they kept the texture high with soft fabrics and chose pieces that would evoke a cozy feel, including the expansive Dr. Pitt sectional by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams in the media room.

ALL ABOUT:
Whether your home sits upon an expansive waterfront lot or offers just a taste of the outdoors via a sky-high terrace, there’s no wrong way to enjoy a bit of fresh air, so long as you’re doing it in style. Outdoor spaces represent an extension of a residence’s interior and a homeowner’s personal aesthetic, and as such they should be approached with just as much care and attention to detail. What do you envision for the ideal sanctuary in the sun? Regardless of size, the opportunities are nearly endless—from a cozy gathering spot with an electric fireplace or fire pit to a water-lover’s paradise with an infinity pool or elements like a fountain and a soaking tub. Furniture pieces for alfresco dining and lounging are a must, while manicured landscaping with the perfect plants sets the overall tone. Here, experts offer their tips for designing your own great outdoors.

Native plants complement the modern volumes designed by architect Jim Morter. Left: A Denver couple requested their house be organized around a central open courtyard. Architect John Matthews brought their idea to fruition by designing the structure around a 1,000-squarefoot indoor-outdoor room crowned by a retractable Kalwall skylight.

Landscape architect Terry Rudolph designed the grounds of a home outside of Denver to complement the architecture, by Douglas M. DeChant, which speaks to the various vernaculars within Colorado. Rudolph worked with the same granite used to build the structure to create low walls on the property, acting to tie the design together and hold back new gardens of lavender, shrub roses and other flowering perennials.

TERRY RUDOLPH Landscape Architect
Describe your approach to creating landscapes. As a designer, I create outdoor spaces with plants and building materials that feel like they belong in Colorado. Indigenous sandstone makes a great choice for patios and walls, while colorful perennials that are xeric in nature and attract hummingbirds and other fauna bring a piece of our mountain meadows into our built landscapes.

What are some ways to create a sustainable landscape? Using plants with low-water requirements and local landscape materials, like recycled mulch, are two simple strategies. A more in-depth idea is creating landscapes that provide a benefit. Edible landscapes for both people and wildlife are great examples of this. For this project, how did you design the grounds to complement the architecture? The architecture provided many opportunities to create outdoor living spaces that highlighted the incredible views of the distant mountains, adjacent open spaces and pastures. We extended the feel and presence of the house into the landscape with retaining walls that featured the same stone as the house. The walls helped create outdoor rooms, especially at the walk-out terrace, which includes the pool. LUXESOURCE.COM / 295

Looking to evoke the feel of the Wild West, a house near Durango was crafted with Oklahoma sandstone and river rock taken from the site. The stonework, sourced by builder Clark Behner and on-site design coordinator Tess Jordan, defines the home, which features an expansive terrace overlooking the Animas River. Landscape designer Drew Weigle gave the site a natural look by working with native species and ornamentals. The furnishings are by Kingsley-Bate.

“The outdoor fireplace allows the owners to enjoy their patio even in cooler weather,” builder Brad Liber says of a Denver home’s alfresco seating area defined by wood siding and concrete pavers. Framed with raw steel, the fireplace warms the space, which designer Caylin Engle appointed with furnishings from The French Design Company.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
From the snow-covered mountains of winter to the Technicolor leaves of fall and the wildflowers of summer, Colorado has a lot to offer when it comes to enjoying the outdoors. So it’s not surprising that professionals, as discussed here, are making the most of these alfresco offerings, whether landscaping acres in the mountains or appointing an urban terrace. Caylin Engle: We wanted the space (above) to be functional and comfortable. The sofa and chair were chosen because they are deep and great for laying in the afternoon sun, and the fireplace allows the space to be used well into November. In Colorado, you have to think a bit more in terms of seasons. We can’t always use outdoor spaces year-round, so when they’re not in use, you need to make sure they still have a great aesthetic. Troy Shimp: Landscaping is the anchor for any home. I try to create at least four layers of plants around the house perimeter, starting with trees, which can help to bookend a home. From there, I work down to taller background shrubs, then foreground blooming shrubs and then perennials and ground covers.
One of the most important things to take into account is planting bed size. By making planting beds larger, and adding more layers, you’re not only bringing more interest and depth to your garden but you’re also visually increasing the size of your home. Robert Hahn: Our clients are interested in creating outdoor living spaces that feel like an extension of their homes. Some of our most common requests are for outdoor kitchens, fire features and shade structures. Our goal, when creating an outdoor living space, is to blur the line between indoor and outdoor. This can be done by selecting building materials that complement those of the home and designing a space that matches its architectural style.

JUST LIKE A LEOPARD’S SPOTS NEVER CHANGE, NEITHER DOES THE APPEAL OF THIS TRIED-AND-TRUE CLASSIC PATTERN. WHETHER THE PRINT IS MAKING A BOLD INTERIORS STATEMENT—SIMILAR TO LATE FRENCH WRITER AND PLAYWRIGHT JEAN COCTEAU’S STUDY DECORATED BY MADELEINE CASTAING—OR GRACING TODAY’S HIGH-FASHION CATWALKS, LIKE THAT OF TOM FORD’S READY-TO-WEAR AUTUMN/WINTER 2016 LINE, THIS PRIMITIVE YET SPIRITED STAPLE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO REMAIN REFRESHINGLY RELEVANT WHILE INSTANTLY ADDING A LUXURIOUS TOUCH TO EVERY ENSEMBLE OR SPACE.
