EDITOR’S LETTER

his January/February issue, our annual GOLD LIST, has long been devoted to celebrating diverse design talents from across the country. They are the dreamers and creators; each working in a distinctive style, yet collectively shaping our landscape and helping to define the idea of home. As part of our GOLD LIST 2019 survey, the architecture and design community weighed in on what’s piquing their interest lately. We share some of their thoughts inside this issue. Texas architect Michael Imber’s comments struck a particular chord: “There seems to be a seeking of what is ‘real’ occurring,” he observes. “We had the farm-to-table movement; we now have the city-to-farm movement, with young influencers moving to small towns and revitalizing communities. These cultural ‘outliers’ aren’t seeking change, but instead find a more enriching and meaningful experience connecting to the authenticity these towns have to offer; towns that have never lost their sense of community and the uniqueness of their different cultures and pasts. It is a movement away from the culture of sameness.”

MAKING WAVES

WITH UNEXPECTED BACKGROUNDS, THESE EMERGING DESIGNERS PROVE THERE’S NOTHING PREDICTABLE ABOUT THEIR CAREERS—OR STYLES.

FORBES + MASTERS

Atlanta | forbesmasters.com WHY WE LOVE THEM: The young duo behind this firm hit it off while working together on a commercial project and realized their combined skills—Tavia Forbes' business background and Monet Masters' design training—made the perfect match. Today, their firm delivers glam, edgy interiors with custom touches— think wall murals hand-painted by the designers themselves. ON THE HORIZON: Forbes and Masters are in the process of filming a television show, Design Demystified, focused on interiors for DIYers. They’re also heading south to work on a project in Barbados soon. IN THEIR WORDS: “Our personal design style can be summarized as ‘the element of surprise.’ It’s not a certain look or genre; it’s bold, moody, layered, textured, custom and fresh. We’ve been called ‘the masters of mood’ by default.”

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

COURTNEY MCLEOD ▲ BENJAMIN JOHNSTON

Houston | benjamin-johnston.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Trained architect Benjamin Johnston has traveled to more than 50 countries, informing his distinct blend of maximalism and minimalism. Architectural details and eclecticism define many of the spaces he designs. ON THE HORIZON: Johnston’s success is taking him beyond the U.S. He currently has projects throughout North America—from Mexico to Canada. IN HIS WORDS: “Inspiration comes from everywhere: the location and architecture of the project, the client’s style and their collections, and also, my treasured books featuring work from Billy Baldwin, Tony Duquette, Thomas Pheasant and Jean-Louis Deniot. I like to begin with immersing myself in a loose creative storm, and then I let the story crystallize from there.”

WHY WE LOVE HER: After working in real estate private equity for 15 years, Courtney McLeod left Wall Street to pursue her childhood dream of designing homes. Her background in finance provides a solid foundation for her practice, which prides itself on investing clients’ money wisely, while fashioning interiors with an edge. ON THE HORIZON: McLeod’s long list of projects for 2019 includes a Chelsea loft, a prewar apartment on West End Avenue, a pied-à-terre on the Brooklyn waterfront, a quaint 1880s-era Colonial in the Hudson Valley and a client’s vacation home in Antigua. IN HER WORDS: “My design style is rooted in the pursuit of joy. I utilize my kaleidoscopic toolbox of texture, color and pattern to create playfully elegant interiors.”

RADAR / NEW GUARD STEWART HORNER

Portland | pennyblackinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Stewart Horner was a design director at Nike until age 47 when he decided to reinvent himself and establish Penny Black Interiors. His projects are all unique—spanning styles from midcentury modern and very refined to rock star chic. For example, he may place a traditional wingback chair upholstered in a neon graffiti-like textile in an otherwise monochromatic room. ON THE HORIZON: In addition to creating a line of furniture and home goods, Horner is working on a remodel of a 1960s traditional ranch in the west hills of Portland and a 1940s Spanish cottage in Los Angeles—his first out-of-state project. IN HIS WORDS: “I have evolved my approach over the years from trying to deliver shock and awe to taking calculated risks. My hope is to surprise and delight my clients with a design that surpasses their needs while indulging them in a dream-like environment.”

GIN BRAVERMAN

Houston | gindesigngroup.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Gin Braverman had past lives as a hospital intern, production assistant, set designer, English teacher and industrial designer. It wasn’t until she worked on an HGTV home remodel show that she finally found her way to design. Braverman’s well-rounded background and willingness to take risks attracts a diverse set of clientele.

▼ ALIZEE BRION

WHY WE LOVE HER: An alum of Philippe Starck’s architecture firm, Paris-born Alizee Brion established her own firm in 2016. Her sophisticated style has caught the attention of an international set of clients who call on her to design the interiors of not only their homes, but also their yachts and, in one case, a castle in Tuscany.

ON THE HORIZON: Amidst the massive economic growth of her home city, Braverman’s team has a lot lined up for 2019, including the Cypress Circle Café at the Houston Zoo, a lakefront residence, a Hill Country boutique hotel and many projects in the culinary space.

ON THE HORIZON: Her biggest projects of the year are a 10,000-square-foot beachfront home on Fisher Island and an 82-foot catamaran that features a swimming pool on the front deck.

IN HER WORDS: “Our design is highly experiential. We try to make things fun and thoughtful by envisioning the end use of the space and all of the ‘Instagrammable’ moments throughout. We listen to the clients’ vision, then try to push them a little bit out of their comfort zone.”

IN HER WORDS: “I approach every design project first with pencil and paper. I find it is the quickest way to move around from plan to elevation to perspective—this is the way I explore the space in all dimensions.”

MIKEL WELCH

New York | mikelwelch.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Mikel Welch discovered his passion for design while walking through a shopping mall on his lunch break from a retail job. To get his start, he offered pro bono design services on Craigslist to build a portfolio. He is an accomplished set designer—most notably, for the Steve Harvey Show. He has also designed green rooms for the likes of Michelle Obama, Oprah, Joan Rivers and Halle Berry. ON THE HORIZON: In the spring, Welch will begin a new role as a featured designer on the second season of the Trading Spaces reboot on TLC. IN HIS WORDS: “I am a huge fan of aged and weathered objects paired with current design trends, so I coined my new design style as ‘primitive modern.’ I love to scour vintage shops looking for perfectly imperfect items, and typically, the more imperfections, the better.”

HOLLY HOLLENBECK

San Francisco | hsh-interiors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: After a brief detour in investment banking and consulting, Holly Hollenbeck followed her nose for vintage finds and showstopping lighting, into the design industry. The designer is a big proponent of using technology throughout the design process, utilizing three-dimensional renderings whenever possible. She recently opened a shop on Clement Street and an e-commerce site, representing 15 home design brands. ON THE HORIZON: Hollenbeck is working alongside Carney Logan Burke Architects on a new home in Wilson, Wyoming. Situated on 35 acres, the job entails developing plans for a main house, two guest homes and a party barn. IN HER WORDS: “Everything I see and do is grist for the creative mill. I am a voracious consumer of imagery from design, travel and fashion magazines, and I also keep a large library of inspirational books.”

CYNTHIA SPENCE

San Francisco | cynthiaspencedesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Cynthia Spence's designs feel layered and collected. Years of business experience in technology and entertainment inform her ability to seamlessly integrate technology into warm and natural spaces. ON THE HORIZON: Spence’s first two projects of 2019 are in Saratoga and Belmont, California. In the former, she designed the house almost entirely around a beautiful tree.

▲ HANNAH CROWELL

Nashville | crowellinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Trained photographer Hannah Crowell is a Nashville-native with country roots and a southern soul—her grandfather was Johnny Cash. Her quirky personality lends itself to creating unexpected moments in the spaces she designs, like the human anatomy model she has in her own home. ON THE HORIZON: Crowell is working with the Virgin Hotel in Nashville to design a private club, separate from the hotel, featuring an intimate, speakeasy vibe. She’s also renovating a sleepy 16-room motel on Anna Maria Island in Florida. IN HER WORDS: “For lack of a better description, I tend to call my style ‘modern bohemian.’ I love contemporary design and clean lines, but I also want spaces to be personal and lived in and full of character.”

ALEXANDRA KAEHLER Chicago | alexandrakaehler.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Alexandra Kaehler, a former advertising exec-turned-lifestyle blogger-turned-interior designer, has an affinity for the details and old bones of a home. She adds her contemporary spin to projects by giving them a feminine face-lift. ON THE HORIZON: Kaehler is renovating a 100-year-old residence in the suburbs of Chicago, a young, fun condo in Chicago and a beach house in Michigan. IN HER WORDS: “I love to combine old and new, masculine and feminine, round and square—opposites always attract.”

HOLLENBECK PHOTO: SUZANNA SCOTT. CROWELL PHOTO: CAROLINE ALLISON. KAEHLER PHOTO: JULIA BRENNER. SPENCE PHOTO: DREW KELLY.

IN HER WORDS: “The Bay Area’s topography and seasonal climate allow us to draw inspiration based on the movements happening in our backyard. I like the art of mixing—it adds personality and a je ne sais quoi that truly brings out the clients’ ethos.”

▼ AIMEE WERTEPNY

Chicago | projectinteriors.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: As the leader of her self-described “design tribe,” Aimee Wertepny makes it her mission to shake things up and cultivate a new type of design firm. Grounded by a serious dedication to philanthropic work both locally and globally, Wertepny’s mantra is “make design matter.” ON THE HORIZON: Project Interiors is working on a collaboration with Marmol Radziner, a Los Angeles-based design-build practice led by architects, and a tiki-inspired home on Florida's Marco Island. The firm also plans to travel to Nepal in March to build a community school in a rural village with non-profit buildOn. IN HER WORDS: “My style is an organic, glam mash-up of tribal, deconstructed, fringed, textured and layered love. Mostly monochromatic and cleanlined interiors, laden with collectibles from travels abroad. I like using floor coverings as upholstery and vintage clothing as accent pillows—exploring ways to infuse the unexpected.”

LINDSAY CHAMBERS

Los Angeles | lindsaychambers.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Award-winning entrepreneur Lindsay Chambers holds a certificate from Stanford Business School’s Executive Program for Women Leaders. Her spaces are bathed in natural light and have a casual, approachable aura to them, while maintaining sophistication. ON THE HORIZON: Chambers is completing her largest project to date in 2019: the furnishings and interior and exterior architectural finishes for a 9,300-square-foot warm contemporary home complete with an indoor pool and a full private spa. IN HER WORDS: “I bring a San Francisco aesthetic— cultivated during the time my practice was based in Palo Alto—to Los Angeles, so my work ends up looking quite different than a lot of other design work I see in the area.”

JON DE LA CRUZ San Francisco | dlcid.com

WHY WE LOVE HIM: Firstgeneration American Jon de la Cruz studied marine biology in school, but shifted gears after a challenging chemistry class. Jobs at rigorous, traditional design firms provided him with a springboard to develop his own style, which leans toward bold, unexpected spaces, like the auto body shopturned-hit restaurant Che Fico. ON THE HORIZON: His firm is working on a number of ground-up projects in California and one in Hawaii, as well as a few restaurants throughout the country.

VANESSA ALEXANDER

Los Angeles | alexanderdb.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Vanessa Alexander’s background in the entertainment industry is quite apparent in her interiors, which are Hollywood-chic and glamorous. Visually, you can imagine her spaces being home to the coolest and edgiest of rock stars, artists and producers. ON THE HORIZON: The designer is working on a major restoration and remodel of a Mexican modern Ricardo Legorreta residence in Los Angeles, as well as home projects, creative spaces and restaurants in New York and Miami. IN HER WORDS: “Whether we are working in California, New York, Miami, or beyond, we reference the surroundings and generally seek to create a connection with an indoor-outdoor lifestyle and the beauty of the environment. Stylistically, regardless of the aesthetic that we are creating, there is inherently a modernity based on open spaces, great amounts of light and a flow from one room to the other, and to the outside.”

CHAMBERS PHOTO: ROGER DAVIES. DE LA CRUZ PHOTO: JOHN LEE PICTURES. ALEXANDER PHOTO: SHADE DEGGES. WERTEPNY PHOTO: CYNTHIA KIM.

IN HIS WORDS: “Many international design students come through the Bay Area and I actively recruit them as interns not only to help nurture their careers but to also expose my team to different points of view. Every person is unique; every home is unique. We can’t serve our clients if we all have the same background, training and point of view.”

he most fitting collaborations usually come together effortlessly. So, when Martin Grubman, vice president of P.E. Guerin, approached his longtime client, interior designer Charlotte Moss, a few years ago about working together on the hardware firm’s debut jewelry line, Moss agreed without hesitation. In addition to her penchant for wearing bold statement bracelets and cuffs, Moss has been an avid enthusiast of P.E. Guerin, incorporating the brand’s well-established door, window and cabinet hardware into many of her clients’ homes. “Some things you have to work really hard for and other things just come your way,” says Moss. “This was just one of those smooth collaborations, so it really wasn’t work. For me, this was all fun.” The Iconic Cuff Collection, which came to fruition in late 2017, began with Moss’ frequent trips to the P.E. Guerin showroom and foundry on Jane Street in New York, specifically the building’s Pattern Room. A historical treasure trove filled with inspiration, the archive space houses all of the master patterns and books used by the company since its inception in 1857. Moss scoured through hundreds of wooden boxes and drawers containing more than 50,000 patterns (a portion of which were brought from France pre-dating the company’s beginnings in the United States) to find pieces that spoke to her and the company’s history. “I kept narrowing them down until I ended up with six pieces that appealed to me—pieces I thought would make a

powerful statement adorned on a woman’s arm,” says the interior designer. Looking for a way to keep P.E. Guerin’s heritage front and center, Moss opted for classical motifs, some more than 10,000 years old, with each cuff highlighting certain historical periods. The Lyre features a neoclassical element relating to the golden lyre given to Orpheus by Apollo from Greek mythology. Another piece, the Dionysus cuff, was inspired by the Greek god of winemaking and symbolizes merriment and abundance. Made from cast-brass and plated in 24-karat gold, the collection is fabricated in P.E. Guerin’s foundry in the same fashion as the rest of the firm’s offerings: with a great amount of care and attention to detail. And while the process and craftsmanship are a long-standing tradition, this collaboration is certainly a new venture and perhaps just the tip of the jewelry iceberg. “P.E. Guerin has always made jewelry for the home,” says Moss. “And now for the person.”

FLUID FORMS

When gallerist and designer Ralph Pucci first met Paul Mathieu in the early ’90s he was immediately drawn to the sculptural aspect of the designer’s furniture and lighting pieces. “The style was very poetic,” says Pucci of Mathieu’s freeflowing, curvaceous forms. “You could see that it was the hand of an artist as opposed to the hand of a furniture designer or architect.” This same fluidity that Pucci describes is on full display in Still Motion, an exhibition of Mathieu’s latest work, which runs from January 28 through

PAUL MATHIEU’S LATEST FURNITURE AND LIGHTING TAKE CENTER STAGE AT RALPH PUCCI. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTOINE BOOTZ

May 1 at Ralph Pucci in New York. The showcase includes several tables, lamps, a console, a sofa and—perhaps most notably—a sculpture created by Mathieu’s father that the designer cast in bronze. All together, it is a display of voluptuous forms using a mix of bronze, plaster, and handcast and hand-beveled glass. “This is really going to be the story of what I call, ‘The Artist Paul Mathieu,’ ” says Pucci. “It’s going to show his path and his evolution.” That story begins with the sculpture by Mathieu’s father, which was originally made of wood before Mathieu cast it in bronze. “That piece most reflects my inspiration,” says Mathieu.

“I grew up with that sculpture and I decided to experiment with it.” While all the pieces pay tribute to Mathieu’s penchant for curves, they differ in their personalities. An oversize floor lamp and bold sofa create grand statements, while three new pieces for his existing Aria collection are elegant in their delicate lines. The ribbon-like bases of his Ruban tables—which Mathieu describes as an escape from gravity—play a more whimsical role in the exhibition. “My new Ruban collection is a jump from the more formal style,” says the designer. “It’s of the same family as the rest of my work, but freer in form.” The driving force behind the exhibition is a mutual respect the artists have for each other. “I continue to be drawn to Paul’s more sculptural pieces,” says Pucci. “It’s not his most commercial work, but it’s really the essence of Paul Mathieu.” And the designer appreciates Pucci’s understanding of how his work should be seen. “Ralph is showing the pieces as sculptural furniture,” says Mathieu, “not as sculpture that wants to be furniture.”

DENVER MODERN In 2018, after nearly a decade in the custom table-making business, furniture maker Donnie Criswell partnered with his wife, Lindsey Price Criswell, to develop a customizable collection of tables, seating, case goods and accessories with a fresh, modern sensibility. Handmade from a palette of hardwoods, leather, marble and steel, and inspired by the iconic designs of Florence Knoll and Charles and Ray Eames, their inaugural collection â&#x20AC;&#x153;combines rugged materials made modernly beautiful,â&#x20AC;? says Donnie Criswell. Highlights of the ready-to-buy inventory include the triangular, puzzle-piece-like Ziggy nesting tables; the sleek-yet-roomy upholstered Keystone sofa; and the wood-and-concrete Summit table (shown). Designs can be tweaked to fit each clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs or made from scratch for any residential or commercial space. In keeping with the Criswellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots, the duoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s custom tables are made from spectacular, live-edge slabs of wood. Up next: a Denver showroom thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to open in January 2019. denvermodern.com

GARRETT BROWN DESIGNS Striking, streamlined and simpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Denver-based furniture maker Garrett Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designs check all the right boxes for collectors of functional modern art, but the handmade furnishings displayed on his shoppable website are just a preview of his capabilities. Since launching his design and manufacturing company in his small apartment just four years ago, Brown has moved into a 3,500-square-foot studio in Westminster, assembled a team of wood- and metalworkers and fabricators, and created custom designs for a wide array of residential and commercial clients. New technologies, from three-dimensional printing to laser-cutting, allow Brown to seamlessly incorporate unexpected materials into his designsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Erebus tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top merges slabs of wood and marble and the Eros bench (shown) features one metal leg that can be finished in a rainbow of bold colorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but his focus is steadfast: honoring the natural beauty and movement of wood. garrettbrowndesigns.com

BLACK HOUND DESIGN COMPANY Those well acquainted with Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar and restaurant scene have likely encountered the work of Black Hound Design Company, which has designed and fabricated decor and furnishings for hot spots like Hearth & Dram, Punch Bowl Social and Tivoli Brewing Company, to name a few. But restaurant decor is just part of what founder James Hixson and his wife, Kate, as well as their team of metalsmiths, woodworkers, fine artists and industrial designers, can do. Their Arvada workshop turns out custom piecesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from live-edge wood power desks to sleek coffee tables with modern hairpin legsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for homes and offices across the country, and, drawing on Hixsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal training as a sculptor, striking art installations too. Character-rich wood stars in most every design, with cool industrial materials playing bold supporting roles. One of Hixsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite creations: Denver restaurant Vital Rootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room dividers, which combine whitewashed, live-edge Australian pine slabs with modern metal grating reclaimed from an old post office. blackhounddesigncompany.com 102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ORGANIC LOOMS

Inside Organic Looms’ new Denver Design District showroom (595 S. Broadway, Ste. 103E) you’ll find stunning heirloom-quality rugs and endless possibilities for bespoke designs. “If a client can dream it, we can make it,” says showroom director Stephanie Bryant Holmes. The Denver locale partners with weaving companies globally to create its designs. From drawings to completion, each rug is touched by nearly two dozen artisans, including weavers who spin and dye natural fibers by hand before knotting them on a vertical loom. The extensive inventory spans the style spectrum, from modern to tribal, and includes a collection of vintage, one-of-a-kind Turkish rugs. organiclooms.com

ALYSON KHAN

In 2000, on a whim, then-novice painter Alyson Khan showed a selection of her work at a Denver cafe—and sold every last piece. “That experience was electrifying and formative and definitely set me on a track to take my work more seriously and continue to put it out there,” Khan says. These days, her graphic, abstract paintings have found homes in hotels and private collections around the world, in collaborations with brands such as West Elm and Anthropologie, and in February, as part of a group exhibition at Denver’s Space Gallery. Here, Khan shares her inspiration and more. alysonkhan.com Why is paint your medium of choice? Paint lends itself most extensively to experiencing color, which is probably the most important aspect of my work. There is an endless variety of colors you can achieve. I also deeply appreciate the emotional resonance and energy of color that can be felt through painting. Tell us about your inspiration. It could be through colors, textures, textiles, interior design or weird shapes on a dried leaf, or even some words strung together, which I will actually scribble onto the canvas and build from there. Do you have a creative to-do list? Rugs have always inspired me, and I would love to work with a rug designer and see my work applied in that way. I also think it would be amazing to see my work in fashion; to experience the images in motion. 104 / LUXESOURCE.COM

INSIDE EDITION

“We currently have clients asking for less audio/visual technology and fewer televisions—one even asked for cell phone blockers to be installed in the house. Open floor plans remain on trend, but clients increasingly want intimate spaces that feel as cozy and welcoming when there are two guests as when there are 20. Because most of our projects are in fantastic natural settings, indoor-outdoor spaces are always in demand, as they allow our clients to integrate the natural surroundings into their daily lives.”

“Two factors drive most of the new custom-build checklists: First is downsizing required by baby boomers, who want smaller, more efficient entertaining spaces and open-plan indoor-outdoor spaces. Second are millennials, who require energy efficiency and ‘green-ness.’ The primary trend for both groups is lock-and-leave operation—they are extremely mobile and need to leave for travel or business at a moment’s notice. While away, they want technology that allows them to control their environment from afar.”

“The technological advances in home lighting, specifically LED, are markedly changing and improving the aesthetics and function of our lives and designs. Affordable, easily hidden, energyefficient light sources with excellent color rendition can be used both indoors and out. When controlled with timers, dimmers and photocells, they are elevating and energizing our designs. Clients are requesting more home automation but also demanding that it be simple and user-friendly.”

“It’s amazing how things continue to evolve in the residential design world. For example, there are many new exterior cladding materials that were not accepted or widely available until recently. One of our favorites is Equitone’s fiber cement panels, which come in amazing patterns, sizes and colors. We’ve also been pushing the limits of technology by incorporating massive walls of glass with details like integrated operating motors and screens to make them as much about the view as possible.”

BLUEPRINT ST PAUL COLLECTION

It may come as a surprise that some of Denver’s hottest new addresses are for rent rather than for sale, but that’s the situation at the St Paul Collection (210 and 255 St Paul St.), a new pair of luxury residential towers located in the heart of the Cherry Creek North shopping district. Developed by BMC Investments and designed by 4240 Architecture and interior design firm Styleworks, the collection comprises 165 luxury rental residences including one-, two- and three-bedroom options, plus penthouses. Residents can enjoy top-notch details and finishes rarely found in local rental properties: window-walled living areas with 10-foothigh ceilings and adjacent private balconies; kitchens outfitted with Bosch or Thermador appliances, waterfall countertops and herringbone-patterned stone backsplashes; home-automation systems; and walk-in closets with built-in storage systems. The towers bring 55,000 square feet of ground-floor retail to the neighborhood, including CB2, SoulCycle and an outpost of the famed Upper East Side bistro Le Bilboquet. But the properties’ most coveted amenities are just for residents: glass-walled fitness centers, luxurious resident lounges, colorful art collections curated by Denver-based art advisory firm Nine dot Arts, 24/7 concierge services, and, up on each rooftop, a heated pool, hot tub, private cabanas, kitchen and a 360-degree view that rivals any in town. stpaulcollection.com 106 / LUXESOURCE.COM

LEADING LADY

Elsie de Wolfe is the grand dame of interior design as we know it–many credit her with inventing the profession of interior decoration. She went against the grain of Victorian design trends, replacing dark furniture and heavy draperies with floral wallpaper and feminine colors. This interior legend was commissioned by Stanford White to design the interiors for the Colony Club in New York City, and for the likes of Condé Nast and the Frick and Vanderbilt families. The tea house (shown) is one of de Wolfe’s only remaining designs intact. Originally designed for the Coe family, it is now a part of Planting Fields Arboretum and State Park in Oyster Bay, New York.

The concept was to create a piece that looks like one of Erickson’s designs was pulled through one of Kirk’s paintings.

THE LOOK Elevate the ordinary with bold baths and powder rooms that combine colorful patterns, elegant materials and showstopping details.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

BATHING BEAUTY DESIGNERS TURN TO PUNCHY PATTERNS AND BOLD MATERIALS TO CREATE BATHROOMS WITH HIGH IMPACT.

There are few spaces in a home more intimate than a luxurious bathroom— it’s where we pamper ourselves; it’s where we begin and end our days; it’s a haven for relaxation. Designers are exploring new schemes and kicking the design of this space into high gear with lush colors, plush textures and deluxe finishes. They’re also thinking outside the typical white marble box with stylish elements like graphic tile, glamorous lighting and architectural fittings for an allencompassing effect. Whether it be an elegant master bath with ladylike details or a jewel box powder room featuring statement-making wallcoverings, bold bathrooms are back. As designer Denise McGaha explains, “Don’t you want a bathroom that feels out of the ordinary, that no one else has?” So, grab your bubble bath and dive into these spectacular spaces. 188 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ON POINT DENISE MCGAHA

For her own master bathroom, Dallas-based designer Denise McGaha admits she really got to push the envelope. While she and her husband agreed on certain items that were essential to the space like storage, a steam shower and natural light, they each had their own ideas to consider. McGaha knew the design should feel sophisticated and artful, the opposite of the cold, white-marble-and-glass bath, and her husband wanted to make sure the entire scheme didn’t steer too feminine. Through her masterful mix of color, pattern and texture, McGaha created a dynamic space that when unveiled to her husband, a man of many words, rendered him completely speechless. denisemcgaha.com

Can you talk about your approach to pattern and color? The black-and-white Silestone countertops are very sophisticated and we continued the palette with my Design Legacy fabric on the Roman shade that aligns perfectly with the wallpaper on the ceiling. This treatment allows for a really expansive room. I also wanted a bit of color, so I added the blush pink on the cabinetry. Share your top tip for designing a bathroom. Don’t overlook the items you’re going to touch every day, like a handheld shower head, sink faucet or drawer pull. Make sure those elements are not a second thought but rather the first thing you consider. 190 / LUXESOURCE.COM

What was your main goal for this space? I wanted something that was really a sanctuary for me and my husband, but our master bathroom hadn’t been touched since we moved in almost 20 years ago, so we knocked out everything to the studs. From there, it was about opening up the room and creating a timeless, elegant feel.

LAUREEN HOPKINS INTERIOR DESIGN

Interior designer Laureen Hopkins’ first project was for clients from Coral Gables, Florida, who were looking to design their four-bedroom Vail vacation townhome. “We designed a functional, warm and comfortable living space with furniture that fit their lifestyle,” she says. Twenty years in, Hopkins and her team, at Laureen Hopkins Interior Design, continue to work in high-end ski resort areas, including Aspen, Vail, Beaver Creek and Snowmass. Hopkins has also traveled with a handful of her existing clients to work on their primary residence and other vacation homes in Washington, California, Texas, Florida, Minnesota and Mexico. With two goals in mind— making the interior design project an enjoyable experience; and creating a design reflective of the clients’ lifestyle—Hopkins and her team go to work, collaborating with clients from beginning to end. “We always encourage our clients to give us a list of must-haves,” she says. “This helps us prioritize and ensure that the most important needs and wants are met.” While known for a more modern, clean and inviting approach, Laureen Hopkins Interior Design’s extensive residential, commercial, hospitality and resort experience showcases its aesthetic diversity, ranging from European mountain elegance, rustic log cabin and mountain modern, to city suburban and casual Caribbean. No matter the scope, Hopkins stays true to one mantra: Less is always more.

CLEAN SLATE

For a Malibu residence where dining is often casual, designer Chad Eisner went with a round table to suit his clients’ easy, everyday style. “It’s inviting because it puts everyone on equal footing since there’s no hierarchy at either head of the table,” he says. Eisner also suggests using armless chairs, which lend to greater accessibility, and seatbacks with a slight curve that give the perception of a larger chair without taking up the real estate. And to avoid damaging tabletops, the designer recommends using a table pad covered with a tablecloth. “They’re a livesaver,” he says, adding, “You should have two to four tablecloths in your repertoire, like a classic white hemstitch and a natural color.” cweisner.com

“There is no tip-toeing around in this room,” says interior designer John Willey of this Central Park West residence in New York. “It’s a cleanlined space that’s very inviting without the fuss.” To balance the cool blue and white hues, Willey opted for warm, down-to-earth colors like dusty rose, cinnamon and terra cotta, and also added printed-cotton draperies that are elevated “without being too formal,” adds the interior designer. The heft of the marble coffee table makes a striking stationary statement as “a beautiful presence that anchors the room,” says Willey. willeydesign.com

ALL IN THE MIX

EBB AND FLOW

“The living room is central to family life,” says interior designer Barclay Butera, who designed the inviting interiors for this Moorish-Moroccaninfluenced villa in Miami Beach. In the great room, just a few tiled steps down from the entry, deep hues of red and emerald mix with unexpected finishes, including a pair of agate-and-iron chandeliers. Crowning both the living and dining areas, they demarcate functions yet help to unify the space. “Clients want a room that has plenty of seating with a great flow for conversation,” says Butera. barclaybutera.com

WARM WELCOME

Given it’s the first impression a visitor will have, the material and furnishings of an entryway should set the stage for a home’s overall tone and vibe, as designer Jennifer Ferrandi has done with the foyer of this sunny Scottsdale, Arizona residence. “It’s very organic and quiet— not a lot of bright colors in the entry or throughout the home,” she says. First, she established an indoor-outdoor connection by using brick from the exterior for the flooring and planters. Then, she incorporated a natural statement piece. “An unexpected oversize cactus gives visitors insight into what kind of homeowners live here,” she says. “It is definitely a ‘put-your-feet-on-the-table’ kind of place.” adgphx.com

TO THE TOUCH

“Dark colors tend to envelope you more, and they’re less reflective of light,” says designer Jessica Helgerson, who fashioned the dynamic interiors of this classic Victorian in Portland, Oregon. In the family room, dark brown paint with a touch of purple and deep tones of the wood complement the bold and modern furnishings in jewel tones creating a stylish and up-to-date feeling. While Helgerson did some remodeling to make it more contemporary for a young family, “we were very respectful of the architecture,” she says. “It’s a backdrop of old with a bright, fresh, new color palette,” says the designer. jhinteriordesign.com

artful LIVING

“Art is something you must love, since you’ll be experiencing it on a daily basis,” says interior designer Deborah Wecselman, who created the art-filled interiors of this Miami residence. Below are her tips for establishing a striking living space using artwork. dwdinc.com Find balance: Sometimes art should take center stage and the furniture should act as supporting characters; sometimes art merely complements the design.

Give it room: If there is a major piece of art, it is important to let it breathe without creating claustrophobia by surrounding it with multiple pieces of furniture.

5 SET the STAGE

FOUR INTERIOR TALENTS DISH ON HOW TO DESIGN HIGHIMPACT LIVING SPACES WITH PERSONALITY.

JANET BROOKS

BELLA MANCINI

What are some oftenoverlooked elements of design? I am a fanatic about the importance of appropriate lighting in all locations, not only for general illumination but also for creating accents and special effects. Most important aspect to consider when determining a layout: I always keep in mind the clients’ lifestyle in relation to the available space and striving for a comfortable solution. janetbrooksdesign.com

Favorite colors of the moment? In city and country homes alike, we are mixing in ochre, puce and very dark grays. Our clients seem more open to these more adventurous hues than in years past. Best item to splurge on: Custom window treatments can transform any room. Even when a budget doesn’t allow for much more than retail furniture, I always set aside room in the finances for custom draperies. bellamancinidesign.com

LORRAINE ROGERS-BOLTON What do antiques add to a space? These pieces can provide interest to a design, especially if the client enjoys the eclecticism of old versus new. What should always be considered when designing interiors? The proportion of furnishings to the size and height of a room determines the success of a space. However, it should be unnoticeable if implemented properly. rogersdesign.com

KIM SCODRO What should homeowners spend on? You will never regret splurging on a comfortable place to sit. When the bones of an upholstered piece are right, there is nothing better. Top tips to keep in mind when planning a layout for your client: When working on a furniture plan, we always keep in mind who, how and why. Who is living in the space? How are they using it? And why are they using this room? kimscodro.com

THIS PAGE: ARTFUL LIVING: KRIS TAMBURELLO. SET THE STAGE HEADSHOTS: BROOKS, CARL SCHULTZ. MANCINI, BRITTANY AMBRIDGE. ROGERS-BOLTON, ARGONAUT ARCHITECTURALS. SCODRO, COURTESY KIM SCODRO. OPPOSITE: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN: AARON LEITZ. A BOLD ENTRY: NATHAN SCHRODER.

Pick your color battles: When designing with vibrant hues, choose the art or accessories to pack the color punch. Try introducing just a bit of color from the art into the furnishings, and leave the rest of the palette muted.

7 6 STAIRWAY to HEAVEN When renovating this San Francisco residence, originally built by architect Albert Farr in 1930, Handel Architects partner-in-charge Glenn Rescalvo made graceful updates that enhance tradition. “We always start with what’s existing and try to use the most beautiful elements as starting points for any additional design elements that we bring in.” handelarchitects.com

How did you make the traditional and modern aesthetic work together? The soft geometry of the original bronze handrail (a combination of curves and linear elements) was very inspiring for the entire look. We picked up on those details and commissioned Lindsey Adelman to create a beautiful fixture, spanning three floors. Its constellation of burnt-orange glass drops and brassfinish rods contrast with the original traditional handrail.

Is there a way to keep the look from feeling outdated? Always keep the conversation open between history and progress by integrating contemporary details through the furnishings and accessories, as well as the art selection. Here, the white walls give a simple look, while the plaster Alexander Lamont chandelier in the foreground hangs by gilded bronze chains. Finishes and texture live together in a perfect cohabitation. Where do you see the genre of classic architecture going? The traditional look relates to heritage. No one invents anything completely new, and the challenge of a designer is to reinterpret the past to create something new. People are interested in both the craftsmanship of classicism, and the sleekness of contemporary elements.

A BOLD ENTRY

A hallway is no place to overlook the details—it’s a prime area to honor the architecture, connect rooms or make a lasting statement. The entry hall of this Dallas residence by designer Leslie Jenkins and senior designer Haley Powell, with architecture by David Stocker, accomplishes all three. “We love how the lanterns play off the lines in the steelframed windows and doors, and lend cohesion to the entire space,” the designers explain. “Lanterns are a timeless solution to lighting in hallways, while complementing grand chandeliers found elsewhere.” One of the first conversations these designers usually have with their clients is about a home’s entryway, as flooring material is crucial to help guide the feel of the design. In the absence of natural light, a light wall color will help a hallway feel airy, the designers advise, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase special pieces, like vintage runners, that introduce a colorful palette of what’s to come. jenkinsinteriors.com

9 MOMENT

FLASHBACK

“Any color that is used in a well-designed space works,” says designer Joelle C. Nesen, who boldly mixed bright shades of yellow in this sunny Palm Springs, California kitchen. What’s more important to consider, she says, is one’s comfort level with color, and the mood for the project and the environment. “Are we going for ethereal drama, layered color that connects to the landscape, or something over-the-top?” Below, she offers three tips for using bright hues like a pro. maisoninc.com Consider lighting. Natural light and the outside environment play a big role in the color value. If your space is filled with natural light, the hue is going to be much more blown out versus a dark den with little natural light. Color value. If you’re going to splurge on color, art is the most important element—plus it has long-lasting value. When using artwork, try playing with the juxtaposition of the furniture and finishes, or go in the direction of pure drama with bright hues. Incorporate the unexpected. Pairing a color with similar shades creates drama that is both high-impact and eye-catching, but not overwhelming. In this kitchen, the wall tile is more of a marigold hue while the chairs have a chartreuse tinge. We loved how the tension of the different yellows played off the warm brass.

INTERIOR AUTHORITY HEADSHOTS: CAILLIER, BELATHÉE PHOTOGRAPHY. GLASS MULLEN, EMILY MINTON REDFIELD. WISS, COURTESY GARY WISS. CASTILLO, COURTESY JORGE CASTILLO. FULLER, STEPHEN BUSKEN.

“I think it’s a direct reaction to years of using gray,” says designer Timothy Corrigan of the trend to embrace bold, jewel-tone shades in the home, like this green kitchen he fashioned for a Brentwood, California residence. To add life into any space, Corrigan suggests using color where you want a shot of energy, like the kitchen, or where you don’t spend a lot of time, like a hallway, and not in an area that’s purposely restful, like a bedroom. When choosing a shade, consider context. “You’ve got to look at it in the space you’re planning to use it,” he says. For example, this kitchen opens to a garden, so these “spring-leaf greens” establish an indoor-outdoor connection. timothy-corrigan.com

10 PATTERN PLAY

“I’ve worked with color all my career,” says designer Anthony Baratta, who devised the masterful palette of this living room in Fort Lauderdale. “Everything can’t be the same color value,” he says. “It has to be a mix.” The blues range from gray to navy, and the reds shift from orange to blue-red. When picking a palette, Baratta suggests: “Go to the Benjamin Moore paint rack and play,” he says. “You’ll go in a direction that you never believed you would.” anthonybaratta.com

TO DETAIL

Organic motifs animate the bright orange de Gournay wall panels in this Dallas home envisioned by designer Cynthia Collins. The bold hue is complemented with lavender details—appearing on the sofa and in touches throughout the hand-painted paper. “It’s important to pair color tones,” says Collins. “They don’t necessarily need to match but must enhance each other.” collins-interiors.com

INTERIOR AUTHORITY FIVE INTERIOR PROFESSIONALS EXPLAIN THE INS AND OUTS OF INFUSING A SPACE WITH BOLD COLOR.

HEIDI CAILLIER Best color to use when designing a living space? We often defer to using white on the walls, specifically Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, so we can have more flexibility when designing with colorful textiles. heidicaillierdesign.com

BARBARA GLASS MULLEN With furnishings, how do you incorporate color? Lamp shades in patterns and colors—they make a bedroom feel eclectic and interesting. You can create custom shades for any lamp using your choice fabric. barbaraglassinc.com

GARY WISS

JORGE CASTILLO

NICOLE FULLER

Where is the ideal place in the home to incorporate color? I love to integrate bright hues in small spaces, usually the foyer, mud room, and hallways, or the powder room to make it feel like a jewel box experience. wissdesignstudio.com

What do wallcoverings add to a home? I love using wallpaper to incorporate texture and color, and to create expressive drama in the most optimal places. Phillip Jeffries and Romo wallcoverings are usually my go-to resources. jorgecastillo.com

Go-to color when designing a high-impact room? Vardo by Farrow & Ball. It translates to a peacock-teal, green-blue hue and is so rich with visual texture that you can layer it with soft colors, like pale pink or light yellow, or go more masculine with brown. nicolefullerinteriors.com

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE

A home’s entry should express a sense of transition and “create a preview of the experience on the other side of the door,” says architect John Henderson, who designed this exemplary Newport Beach, California residence with smooth-troweled plaster, stained-wood eaves, and a standing-seam roof. He shares four tips for creating an inviting entryway. spectrumarchitecture.com Think about transitions. Devise a sense of leaving the streetscape and entering into a semiprivate space. This can be achieved by either a physical transition such as a wall and gate, or a perceived boundary such as a landscape barrier or planting scheme. Blurred lines. Begin to envelop the entry experience by blurring the lines between the outside and the inside of the home. Create an outdoor space that is partially enclosed by the building’s walls but remains open to the sky and landscaping. Use windows wisely. Use windows and openings to begin a visual connection between the indoors and outdoors. This serves as another tool for those entering the home to get a sense of the interior space. Repeat materials. Give the visitor a preview of what they might expect within the home by introducing materials, shapes, forms and colors outside. As the door opens, repeat some of those elements in the entry to link the two spaces.

INSIDE OUT

Architect Tobin Smith says it’s critically important to remain connected to nature. As such, continuous planes and material continuity, as seen with the steel ceiling beams for this San Antonio residence, “minimize the legibility of the building envelope,” he says, allowing indoor and outdoor to merge. Color helps unify a plane, as well, and in this case enables the exterior’s smooth stucco wall to “slide on through the glass as a singular element” to the interior’s gypsum board. Even a floor-toceiling glass pane—at the end of the corridor—frames nature. “Connecting with the cosmos is what it’s all about,” says Smith. tobinsmitharchitect.com

MAKING an ENTRANCE

ENTERTAINING EQUILIBRIUM

Striking design and space planning are the key elements that architect Jim Blochberger employed at this residence in Gilbert, Arizona. Arranged under a high-pitched roof are two distinct areas for dining and sitting, and although the volume of the roof is grand, the series of trusses bring down the height for a cozier feeling. “It’s nice to have a space that’s warm and welcoming,” he says. blochbergerdesign.com

In HARMONY

For optimal curb appeal, architect Larry Kahle hit all the key architectural principles designing this East Coast-inspired residence in Atherton, California: proper siting, a balanced sense of proportion and scale, great materials and detailing, and rhythm. “They feel natural and provide a sense of innate harmony,” he says. He always aims for repetition in threes, such as in windows, which makes for a “compelling and engaging,” design, he says. Kahle also suggests incorporating white trim. “It pops against the cedar shingles and dark vegetation,” he says. metropolisarchitecture.com

When designing a residence in Coral Gables, Florida, set on a limestone ledge and surrounded by pin oak trees, architect Marc Turkel says, “We limited the palette and tried to use refined materials that have integrity and move from the outside to the inside.” Hence, the dramatic stacked-limestone in the home’s living room not only acts as a structural support but also as an ode to the exterior’s landscape. leroystreetstudio.com

Deemed the “butterfly house” because of the structure’s shape, this mountain contemporary home in Aspen, Colorado, features a wing-like roofline that opens it up to the vistas. By doing so, the design incorporates the surrounding landscape into the home. Architect Seth Hmielowski shares his thoughts on making location and materials work to your advantage. zgrouparchitects.com

Use what the lot has to offer. This house is on a small corner site in the center of town, where exterior space is at a premium. We lifted the ground floor to highlight mountain views—Red Mountain to the north and Aspen Mountain to the south—and obscure urban scenes like parked cars. Now, when sitting in the dining area or outdoor on the patio, you look out over the cars instead of into them.

Opposites attract. The limestone is monotone and gives off the feeling of concrete, but when you put it next to cedar siding, it adds an element of warmth.

SOUNDING BOARD FIVE ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONALS WEIGH IN ON MATERIALS, SURROUNDINGS AND THE LATEST IN DESIGN.

MARK FINLAY

C.P. DREWETT

MAX STRANG

CELESTE ROBBINS

VIRGINIA KELSEY

How does the site influence your designs? As a contextualist, the landscape is my first consideration when beginning a project. The proximity to other structures, the topography, the views, the privacy— these aspects are the first clues as to what the house wants to be. markfinlay.com

Top design trend: The overall acceptance of modernism is really exciting, and not just because it’s been my life’s work. I think the places in the world where modernism is celebrated hold the deepest understanding of and appreciation for design. Those communities have great culture. drewettworks.com

Best thing to splurge on: Glass is expensive but worth it. Well-designed spaces with a lot of glass allow for a seamless connection from interior to exterior. Smaller spaces can feel much larger than they really are—not to mention the health benefits of natural light. Design motto: Build smaller. Build smarter. strang.design

Go-to element: Lighting. I use it to layer a space with warmth and interest. A room may be beautiful, but gorgeous lighting creates rooms you want to live in. What are homeowners requesting? I’m seeing more asks for spas and meditation rooms. People are looking to their home as a place of respite and peace. robbins-architecture.com

Favorite material: I love reclaimed materials, like brick or tile, as it is hard to authentically recreate a natural patina. Most important areas to invest in? Windows and flooring—you want to spend on those portions of a house that are the most difficult to change later and that set the tone for the home. virginiakelsey.com

Emphasize natural light. The two-story home has expansive windows, and we joined the dining and kitchen area to a large terrace with sliding glass pocket doors. The effect is of a disappearing corner that leaves no boundary between the interior and exterior.

TROPICAL

PUNCH

Luxury is more than just expensive materials, and that’s exactly what architect Clemens Bruns Schaub proves with his tropical modern design of this coastal estate in Vero Beach, Florida. This home is grounded by its orientation—to the sun, winds, surrounding views, and garden. “It’s about wind through palm trees and how light moves through a courtyard,” he says. Caribbean-inspired elements, such as wooden jalousies that capture breezes and shed rain, are designed to work with the climate and natural environment. cbsarchs.com

STAIR MASTER

Lakefront cottages are always about the views, and that’s exactly why architect Michael Abraham designed this stunning Michigan abode to blur the lines between inside and out. Large and plentiful windows, plus a series of modern staircases throughout the property, open up sight lines to Paw Paw Lake. Here’s how Abraham achieved such a grand effect. michael-abraham.com

What inspired the idea for this dramatic staircase? This Napainspired house on Michigan’s Paw Paw Lake comprises three structures: two coach houses at the top of a hill and a spacious home along the lake. The compound was built on a sloping lot, so there are a number of staircases both inside and outside the house, along with an ipe-wood bridge system connecting the three structures. Since this three-

level interior staircase would be visible from inside and outside, we wanted to mimic the adjacent exterior stairs. How did you bring it to life? Guests enter the main home on the second floor, and we worked with general contractor Dave Knecht to create this sculptural staircase that connects the residence’s three levels. We used floating wood treads and a linear steel railing. Tell us about the use of metal, wood and glass throughout the spaces. The staircase offered one more opportunity to tie in these materials. We also wanted as much glass as possible to make it feel like you were outside when going from one floor to another. Continuity from room to room allows the elements that are intended to be special to stand out when desired.

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / MATERIALS

ELEMENTAL

MOMENTS PERFECT MIX The penthouse in this prewar-style Manhattan building overlooking Central Park had everything but great bones, so builder Mark Dobbin started by breaking apart the existing architecture. He installed new doors, windows and steel structures to create an openconcept space. A mix of oak, chestnut, teak and olive woods, selected for their beautiful grains, help warm the space, while Kelly Wearstler fabricupholstered chairs and hand-dyed Fromental wallpaper add bold pops of color. highlinecg.com

▼ PASSING THROUGH More Colonial Williamsburg than Northern California, this Georgian-style beauty was brought lovingly back to life for the Atherton homeowners. The long, windowed breezeway—constructed by builder Ed Faubel to join the house with a new garage—was designed to resemble a carriage house and connects the gardens in the front and back of the house. faubelconstruction.com

▲ NATURAL INSTINCTS Inside and outside meet in the master bathroom of this LEED-accredited Florida home. General contractor Cole Haynes worked closely with the design team and homeowner to achieve a sense of dimension using natural Mexican river rock and ipe wood, both surrounding the Duravit tub. The same textures are repeated in the adjoining open-air shower and garden. the22group.com

▲ HEAVY METAL “The starkness of drywall is a thing of the past,” says general contractor Tom Fisher, who helped bring to life the powder room of this Arizona home. The walls, mostly steel cladding and wood veneers, create a textural backdrop for the copper-andlive-edge walnut counter built by Ramsey Brothers and envisioned by interior designer Anita Lang. fishercustomhomes.com

AGING gracefully

For this Oregon home perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the architecture is secondary to the setting. Residential designer David Horning used simple lines that mimic the Northern Oregon Coast Range and materials that will blend in the with surrounding landscape over time. Here, he shares a few tips. moa-arch.com Select materials that have common characteristics. In this home, we used elements that will age naturally. The cedar on the exterior and interior will eventually turn gray, and the brass and steel accents will patina and tarnish over time.

Consider the location. We loved the opportunity to use thick cedar boards on both the interior and exterior. Cedar is very durable and turns such a lovely gray as it patinas. It’s perfect for the coast.

Remember to show and tell. It’s helpful to have samples of materials for clients to touch, so they can experience the depth of finishes or fabrics firsthand. We create sample boards with palettes that reflect different design directions.

BUILDING THEORY FIVE BUILDERS SOUND OFF ON BEST PRACTICES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD MATERIALS.

MICHAEL GROSSWENDT Tenets of a successful remodel: Plans, plans and plans. I tell my clients that, for every dollar they spend on a good architect or designer, they will save a hundred dollars during the construction. It’s a lot cheaper to make your mistakes on paper. Favorite trend: I’m impressed with the advances in porcelain slabs: thin construction, curving shapes and remarkable patterns. allcoastconstruction.com

JAY RIORDAN

SHAREN BORGIAS

DAVE GERBER

KLAUS TOTH

Best splurge: Hardwood floors and custom cabinetry are vital in any high-end home. White oak, in particular, allows for creative staining and glazing. There is also no substitute to an exceptional piece of Calacatta Gold marble. Why do kitchen and bathroom renovations add so much value? Those areas are where we spend most of our time. The old adage still rings true: Kitchens and master baths are what sell homes. riordanhomes.com

What is your favorite material? I love concrete— the raw material is muddy and physically hard to work with, yet the end result is solid and strong. You can also shape it into curves, make it smooth as silk, or rough and textured. It has endless personalities. I also appreciate standard, oldfashioned red brick. There is something so classic about brick—it reminds me of the Dick Van Dyke show. fairbankconstruction.com

Most important item for homeowners to spend on? Windows and insulation. They make a big impact on how comfortable a house is and they are very hard to replace later. Go-to material: Lately it’s steel, and I like to see it exposed whenever possible. The creative possibilities are limitless because there are so many ways to fabricate, machine, texture, forge and patina steel. gerberconstruction.net

Why are kitchen and bathroom renovations so important? Kitchens and bathrooms are where you do most of your living. How they work for you has a real correlation to how happy you are with your home. Top building material: As a craftsman, wood has been a touchstone material for my entire career, especially because we are surrounded by all types of trees in the Pacific Northwest. tothconstruction.com

PEAK 26 EXPERIENCE

Designed to match the region’s rustic buildings and laid-back lifestyle, this traditional cabin-style home in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley epitomizes mountain living. The expansive porch with a grand stone fireplace allows the homeowners to take full advantage of the outdoors during summertime. A picturesque grove of Aspen trees frames the entrance to the house, and landscape architect Richard Camp saved another stand of trees in the entry courtyard, past which he installed an idyllic pond that looks like it could have been there for centuries. rclandscape.net

WIT & whimsy When presented with a bare sage-green garden gazebo covered in mature tea-rose vines at this Oakland property, designer April Powers was delighted at the opportunity to transform the sparse structure into a plush and playful outdoor gathering space. The clients’ fondness for Moorish decorative elements inspired her use of cushions and throw pillows in Moroccan-style patterns and colors on the custom-built banquette as well as a teak coffee table. Sheer drapery panels and an indoor-outdoor Stark rug complete the look of this inviting outdoor lounge ideal for entertaining guests. apowersinteriors.com

SITTING PRETTY

In keeping with this Texas homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmhouse feel, architect Michael Imber came up with the idea for a modern pool barn with sliding steel doors to create a visual enclosure for the yard. The airy pavilion is flanked by pergolas on either side, which provide transparency and lightness, plus a little bit of shade from the hot Texas sun. Stone, similar to what was used on the rest of the house, clads the pergola columns and fireplace, tying them in visually to the rest of the residence. Furnishings selected by designer Fern Santini make for a comfortable outdoor sitting area for the homeowners, who can entertain guests while also keeping an eye on the children as they play in the pool and grassy yard. michaelgimber.com

SETTING THE SCENE ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ALL ABOUT DESIGNING TO LOCATION AT THESE THREE STUNNING HOMES, EACH WITH THEIR OWN UNIQUE POINTS OF VIEW.

SOARING VISTAS

Designer Thom Filicia mixed periods and styles for a fresh collected feel for this penthouse duplex in Manhattan. For the rooftop terrace with a striking city skyline view, he paired a sofa and chairs by McKinnon and Harris with two whimsical John Dickinson hoofed tables from Sutherland Furniture. thomfilicia.com

LAKE LEVEL

This property with views of Lake Washington posed a fun challenge for landscape architect Scott Holsapple: Take a rugged site with almost no flat land and transform it into a garden sanctuary. After clearing a barrier of invasive species, he restored the site with native plants and built a path supported by nurse logs. shd-la.com

COUNTRY CLASSIC

Planted with four-season interest in mind, this manicured Lake Michigan estate boasts a reclaimed brick walkway and knee wall landscaped with perennials, flowering trees, and naturalistic shrubs selected by landscape designer Simon Prunty of Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects. hoerrschaudt.com

For this polished outdoor space, landscape architect Keith Williams—who always advises clients to keep landscaping simple and clean—transformed an overgrown yard into a polished outdoor area to complement this Mediterranean Revival-style residence in Palm Beach. Here, citrus trees, ground cover, and jasmine minima around the pool area create a carpet-like effect perfect for the minimalist lounges along the pool deck. He kept a few existing Sabal palms for their height and uniqueness and added Alexander palms for a sense of privacy. Bougainvillea brings a pop of color. nieverawilliams.com

GREAT EXPECTATIONS Designed to look like it could be centuries old, this Miami home embodies true Venetian glamour. Local artisans cleaned up the dilapidated 1930s home with salmon stucco walls, an authentic Spanish tile roof and Corinthian columns. Landscape designer Stanley Matz created lush gardens to match the old-world architecture. His team added sculpted podocarpus in the front to mimic Italian cypress trees, along with picnic roses and cone-shaped garcinia for a formal touch. In the courtyard, silver buttonwoods with gnarly twisted trunks give the illusion of Tuscan olive trees. majestic-gardens.com

DESERT BLOOM Landscape architect Pete Cure created an inviting alfresco living space for this Sedona, Arizona home. The sunken outdoor living room is surrounded by raised planters, filled with deer grass and large agaves, of varying heights that help define the space. A perimeter of native stones and vegetation, including ocotillo, broom snakeweed and salvia greggii provides a natural boundary. arterrasedonalandscapedesign.com

EN PLEIN

FOUR LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS SHARE THEIR IDEAS FOR CREATING INVITING ALFRESCO OASES.

30 GARDEN PARTY You might expect to find an outdoor dining room surrounded by lush, overgrown foliage on an island estate, but landscape designer Stephen Block designed this tropical enclave for his vintage Andalusian-style home in Los Angeles. He revived the old and tired existing garden with a mix of Mediterranean, tropical, antique, and modern elements to stunning effect. innergardens.com How did the idea for this outdoor dining area come about? The design and furniture selection developed from the concept that form follows function. The space is very long and narrow and connects to a perpendicular backyard pool area. I closed off this side yard area with a 1920s iron gate and pilasters, thereby creating the outdoor dining room. I chose a rustic wooden table and old wicker chairs. In one part of the space, a fountain (not pictured) by German designer George Wilhelm

Marquardt gives us just enough gurgle to take away the sounds of the outside world. It also attracts all kinds of animal life. Sometimes, green parrots even land in the fountain to wash their bodies. Tell us about the wicker chairs. The chairs are rather voluptuous and the color has that worn-in look, just like the table. It all feels very relaxed. Designer Kathryn M. Ireland chose the simple cushions so as to not take away from the quietness of the furnishings and the space. What were you hoping to achieve with the plant selection? Since the area is shaded by old Melaleuca trees, I had to utilize tropical shade plants in the garden. I love the dark green color and large scale of the round-leaved ligularia against the agave attenuata, with its contrasting Mediterranean gray color and leaf shape. Classical boxwood hedges frame the house, and three citrus trees give the space a verdant feel.

PHIL STEINHAUER

ORLANDO COMAS

Favorite plants: My go-to palette is the clump form of Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry, Gro-Low sumac, Mahonia Repens, and lowgrowing perennials. This grouping offers seasonal color. What makes for a successful remodel? The landscape is the first impression of a home, and having a continuous theme throughout the property gives the residence overall charm. Working with architects and interior designers allows landscape designers to create a seamless flow to the outdoors. designscapescolorado.com

How do you take the surrounding landscape into consideration? The clients’ activities and their location within the site will determine the basis of the landscape planning. Once that is established, I try to create a fusion when it comes to the plant palette selection. What shapes your designs? I have two key elements: first, the client’s style wishes, and second, the architectural style. These two concepts combined will define the look and direction of the landscape architecture.

JEFF BERGHOFF

TAL THEVENOT

What are the best ways to entice people to spend time outside? Not only are we garden designers, but we are also designing for hospitality. Are the homeowners going to spend time in the sun, shade, around a pool, or a fire pit? Creating these elements within different spaces in the garden and highlighting them will encourage homeowners and guests to spend time outside. Design trend you’re loving right now: I like a clean and tailored look—simplistic elegance will stand the test of time. berghoffdesign.com

How does the setting influence your design? We always study our existing, built and surrounding environments so we can cohesively merge the landscape with the existing scenery and architecture. Some of the most important elements are sight lines, sun exposure, shade, drainage, views and circulation. Tenets of a successful remodel: Creativity, durability and function. Design trend you’re loving: Creative landscape and hardscape lighting can really transform an outdoor space. aquaterraoutdoors.com

OUR 2019 GOLD LIST: CREATORS OF THE INSPIRATIONAL HOMES

“I am continually inspired by iconic midcentury furniture pieces and incorporate them whenever I can. Some of my favorites are the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Saarinen Oval Dining Table and the Womb Chair; they work absolutely anywhere. Sixty-plus years later they are as fresh today as they were when introduced.”

I DON’T THINK THERE’S A MORE IMPACTFUL BUILDING MATERIAL IN A ROOM THAN MOLDINGS. WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED THEY HAVE A POWERFUL EFFECT.” –BRENT HULL, FORT WORTH, TX

“I love Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball. I have used it in a library on all of the wall-to-wall bookshelves and in a bartender’s alley. It is great for bringing warmth to a space and adds a certain mood to a room.” –KATHRYN M. IRELAND, LOS ANGELES

“We study great design by Piero Portaluppi, Carlo Scarpa, Gio Ponti, Jean-Michel Frank, and Jacques Adnet for their wonderful understanding of classicism and their abilities to create sensitive evolutions to its traditions.” –DANIEL KAHAN, WEST PALM BEACH, FL

–MICHAEL ABRAMS, CHICAGO

“The simple concept of balance is always top of mind. Between the highly articulate gesture and the more neutral complement; finding the perfect resonance between the two and knowing when to stop is always a work in progress. –JOSHUA AIDLIN, SAN FRANCISCO

“Less is more in terms of square footage. Consider what portion of the home you enjoy spending time in. Make those parts the best they can be even if it means sacrificing areas that are rarely used.” –DAVID MONTALBA, LOS ANGELES

“SIMPLE VERNACULAR BUILDINGS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL REACTION TO CRAFT, CULTURE AND LANDSCAPE. OFTEN THEY ARE STRIPPED TO THEIR ESSENCE, APPEALING TO OUR SENSE OF SIMPLICITY AND RICHNESS IN CHARACTER.” –MICHAEL IMBER, SAN ANTONIO, TX

“Invest in something custom that is yours alone. Be it a crazy kitchen island or an incredible custom coffee table. Splurge on a piece that will make every time you see it a joyful moment. Home should bring you solace and joy.” –GARY HUTTON, SAN FRANCISCO

MY DESIGN MANTRA IS, ‘GREEN OVER GRAY.’ INVEST IN HORTICULTURE OVER EXPENSIVE HARDSCAPE MATERIALS LIKE BRICK OR STONE. BEAUTIFULLY COMPOSED AND MULTI-SEASONALLY INTERESTING HORTICULTURE ALWAYS DELIGHTS MORE THAN AN EXPENSIVE DRIVEWAY. ” –DOUGLAS HOERR, CHICAGO

“I’M INSPIRED BY TONY DUQUETTE. HE JUST NAILED IT EVERY TIME WITH HIS LAYERING AND WHIMSICAL THEMES, ALWAYS PLAYFUL YET VERY CHIC, ELEGANT AND FUN. PATTERNS AND USE OF COLOR WERE HIS GENIUS STREAK.” –ANIL KAKAR, MIAMI

“WALLCOVERINGS FEEL VERY NOW— ESPECIALLY WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF EXOTIC MATERIALS LIKE REAL WOOD VENEERS. WOVENS, PAPER-BACKED LINENS, AND SUBTLE METALLICS ADD A LAYER OF COMPLETION AND COMFORT TO THE WALL THAT CAN DEFINE A ROOM AND SERVE AS THE FINAL TOUCH.” –MICHAEL COX, NEW YORK

“For our residential interior design work, we’ve been particularly drawn to Scandinavian style, including light wood flooring, and neutrals accented with pops of color. Many of our projects are located in regions with long winters. By working in a light palette, we create spaces that are always warm, bright and pleasing, even on the grayest winter day.” –JOE MCGUIRE, BOULDER, CO

SPLURGE ON FINISHES, FINISHES, FINISHES! THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE, TOUCH AND FEEL. RICH, APPROPRIATE FINISHES MAKE THE PROJECT. SELECT QUALITY HARDWARE, FLOORING, TILE AND STONE, PLASTERS, WOODS AND PAINTS.” –PAUL WILLIGER, LOS ANGELES

“I’m all about DunnEdwards Lunar Eclipse DE5776 paint color. It’s like the old shutters in Italy. You think they’re black but they’re actually a very deep shade of green— the perfect wall color for a moody room.” –HOLLY OGDEN, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

“We are surrounded by a delicate landscape that was formed by glaciers, volcanoes, ice and rivers. These powerful forces are the show, we merely provide the audience with a comfortable year-round stage to the main attraction.” –GYLES THORNELY, DENVER, CO

“John Saladino is a master of poetic interiors. I am endlessly inspired by his use of texture and exceptional ability to intertwine old and new. John actually trained a number of other highly respected designers, making his influence palpable throughout our industry.” –MARIE FLANIGAN, HOUSTON, TX

–SARA MCCANN, WEST PALM BEACH

IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN WALLPAPER? MANY OF OUR CLIENTS ARE DRAWN TO CLASSIC FURNITURE WITH NEUTRAL COLORS. TO BALANCE THE SPACE, A WALLCOVERING WITH AN INTERESTING PATTERN OR COLOR CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.” –KIM SCODRO, CHICAGO

“Invest in the best general contractor you can afford. A good general contractor will make everyone look good; a bad general contractor cannot be overcome even by the best architects and designers.” –DAVID HAEGELAND, ROLLING MEADOWS, IL

“We’re always inspired by hand-applied decorative wall finishes, and love working with artisans to create special treatments for clients. The hand-finished quality softens new construction and the ability to control the color, tone and activity level is a wonderful way to refine a design.” –MARA MILLER AND JESSE CARRIER, NEW YORK

THIS PAGE: SHIBORI GEO WALLPAPER IN MOSS GREEN, COURTESY REBECCA ATWOOD. OPPOSITE: STRANG PHOTO, CLAUDIA URIBE.

“MY CURRENT FAVORITE COLOR IS FARROW & BALL’S BORROWED LIGHT, WHICH IS THE PALEST BLUISH GRAY. IT IS BEAUTIFUL FOR A BEDROOM CEILING OR A NICE CHANGE FROM WHITE KITCHEN CABINETS WHEN JUST A HINT OF COLOR IS DESIRED.”

THE HIGHEST EXPRESSION OF PLACE COMES WHEN YOU HONOR THE NATURAL ENVIRONS OF A REGION. WE ALWAYS LOOK TO TAKE CUES FROM THE NATURAL SCENES AROUND US.” –KRIS BARKER, CHICAGO

“I love the fact that maximalism—color and bold design—is coming back into play. Layered accessories, colors and textures are fantastic and soulful, and work well as counter plays to Belgian linen.” –JAY JEFFERS, SAN FRANCISCO

“The ideas of the Sarasota School of Architecture, a modernist movement that unfolded on Florida’s west coast during the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, continue to inform our work. That movement was highly respected for its progressive responses to site and climate. We’re committed to advancing and adapting those ideas into a new era.” –MAX STRANG, MIAMI

brewster mcleod architects Q +A with McLeod How do you stay in the loop? I was told early in my career to read at least 15 minutes every day, and I’ve held to that. My materials range from trade articles, The New York Times, the latest best seller, anything to keep my mind engaged in the outside world.

If you weren’t an architect, what would you be? I would be a veterinarian. I would love to work with animals.

What was one of your biggest career challenges? Early on, my biggest challenge was meeting new clients. I looked so young, so I had to let my work speak for itself. Thankfully it did!

1. The clean lines, natural materials, and floor-to-ceiling windows of this mountain estate blend seamlessly into the surroundings. 2. This ultimate Aspen retreat features a sophisticated poolside cabana with an infinity pool, heated patios and a putting green.

Her careerdefining moment! Growing up in Glacier National Park, I was inspired by the impressive lodge architecture integrated into the grand surroundings. My father recognized my interest in the built environment, fanning the flame throughout my childhood. My company grew out of the untimely passing of my mentor. At the urging of my clients, I was able to make the best out of an unfortunate situation. That was 12 years ago, and I’ve never looked back.

How McLeod makes it through the day … Caffeine and exercise. I couldn’t get through my days without lattes. Also, a great workout or a fast-paced hike at the end of the day invigorates me and gets me ready to do it all over again the next day.

lanthia hogg designs Branching Out Three years ago, we moved our business office to Denver from Carbondale. Now, my goal is to expand our business in Denver, while maintaining my success in the Roaring Fork Valley.

If you weren’t a designer, you would be … A photographer/artist. My hero is Lillian Bassman, who started out as a fashion photographer, and later transformed her photographs into original works of art.

Finding inspiration close to home My grandmother taught me so much about interior design by setting design skills in her everyday life with color, organization and minimalism, and my dear friend Andrea Jovine, of Jovine Designs, is a very successful clothing and interior designer. She inspires me with her keen eye for detail and sophistication.

“I am grateful and privileged to be in the business of interior design. It continues to inspire me and allows me to be an artist every day of my life.”

LANTHIA HOGG When asked to recall a time someone told her she couldn’t do something, designer Lanthia Hogg is quick to say, “No one ever told me I couldn’t; it never entered my mind.” Such innate confidence has fueled the award-winning designer’s success, along with exercise and protein drinks—two things she can’t function without.

Her Heroines “Strong women have shaped who I am today. My grandmother was a doctor during a time when she was the only woman in the room. Her determination empowers me every day. Also, growing up with an artistic mother taught me to approach art in an open-minded and objective way, and gave me a foundation of confidence in my creative profession.

NADIA WATTS When Nadia Watts launched her own company in early 2009, a good friend voiced their concern about her decision and timing. “The timing may have not been perfect, but it felt right to me,” she says. “Once I put my mind to something, the sky’s the limit.” Staying true to her gut paid off for Watts, who found her interior design calling in college and never looked back.

HEIRLOOM HARMONY COLLECTIONS BOTH OLD AND NEW COME TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY IN A MODERN ASPEN HOME. WRITTEN BY LEILANI MARIE LABONG / PHOTOGRAPHY BY PETER AND KELLEY GIBEON

LUXESOURCE.COM / 265

In the great room of this Aspen home, furniture such as the Lipp sofa by Living Divani and a pair of slender U-Turn swivel chairs by Niels Bendtsen follow the sleek example set by the oversize, built-in window seat. The space is made inviting by a plethora of pillows, unique textiles and a Southwestern desert palette. Warmth is important. “For more than half of the year in Aspen you’re looking out at a cold landscape,” says designer Joe McGuire, who worked on the interiors with designer Matthew Tenzin.

he owner of this modern Aspen home says her friends generally regard her tastes as personality driven and one-of-a-kind. It’s that unique style that made her particularly enthusiastic to own a house with enough space to display her eclectic family heirlooms, ranging from Navajo rugs to wooden Nordic skis. “I come from a family of pack rats,” she says, lamenting the limited capacity of her previous homes in New York and California to harbor her beloved bequests. So she found room to spread her wings on a forested hillside residence, and hired designers Joe McGuire and Matthew Tenzin to express her eclectic modern aesthetic by weaving together fresh furnishings with her diverse collection of rugs, textiles and family antiques against a modern backdrop. The house was constructed by residential designer and builder Tim Semrau, who was inspired by the site. “Aspen trees surround the house and their tall, narrow trunks combine with the mountain ridge behind the home to give a true sense of the area’s verticality,” he says. The house is mostly crafted from an industrial palette of steel, glass and metal; though the rich mahogany siding roots the dwelling in its forested environment. From the beginning, the project was highly personal, a process the homeowner has long been comfortable with, since her mother was a designer and conversations around her childhood dinner table were often about interiors. “Having your home be a place upon which you spend a lot of emotional energy because it’s your haven is just an idea I grew up with,” says the homeowner. “And it can’t be your haven unless it relates to you.”

LUXESOURCE.COM / 267

Residential designer and builder Tim Semrau says that contemporary design combined with the extreme mountain climate of Aspen often creates an impersonal feeling in new homes, so he used modern applications of wood panelingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like this alder ceiling in the dining roomâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to create a personality rich environment. Emphasizing the horizontal lines of the slats is a long BDDW Wishbone table made of blackened-ash wood and a Lindsey Adelman chandelier. The Ellipse side and armchairs are by Thos. Moser.

The designers whole-heartedly agree. “It was a highly collaborative process driven by the client’s creativity and international tastes,” Tenzin says. “She wanted us to help her come up with an overall plan, and she loves so many kinds of patterns, colors and styles, she needed help reining it all in and creating a sense of balance and harmony.” Excited to punctuate her inheritances with a new selection of textiles and gallery-worthy sculptural furnishings, McGuire and Tenzin began to create stylish rooms that also feel familiar and comfortable. In the master bedroom, for instance, a wool-and-silk prayer rug from the family collection hangs on the wall, while a more recent acquisition, a Navajo rug, lies on the floor. The crimson colors and geometric motifs found in both pieces create cohesiveness. A pair of pillow shams printed with Art Nouveau painter Henri de ToulouseLautrec’s famous cancan girls are a novel choice in a room where ethnic patterns dominate.

Likewise, in one of the guest bedrooms, another tribal textile on the wall—a Two Grey Hills Navajo rug inherited from the homeowner’s great grandmother—effortlessly jives with the woven-leather bench at the foot of the bed. The neon green, cerused-wood bedside tables play a dynamic role in an otherwise neutral space. At times, the sculptural quality of a piece outweighs its function. “ ‘Plush’ or ‘cushy’ were never requirements for the furniture,” says McGuire. “However, the shape of things was paramount.” Shapely elements include a cedar bench designed to look like a giant clothespin that brings Pop art-inspired form and function to the foot of the modernist glass staircase in the foyer. A Lindsey Adelman chandelier with asymmetrical brass joints and amorphous glass spheres is suspended from a slatted ceiling, adding clarity to the dining room in more ways than one. Further eschewing the popular notion of a mountain home and drawing on a global aesthetic, a Robert Sukrachand

In the kitchen, the clean lines of Bulthaup’s white laminate cabinets and wood waterfall island seem to take on shades of Scandinavia. The Edo stools by Thos. Moser add slight curves to a tableau of straight lines. The walnut wood of the chairs and the island balance the cooler tones of the cabinetry.

The jewel-faceted Round Diamond rug by Emma Elizabeth Designs appears to sparkle in one of the guest bathrooms. The walnut-veneer double vanity with a strong horizontal grain is crafted by Casey Young Countertops and topped with a white-quartz countertop by Caesarstone. The faucets are from Watermark.

walnut bed is topped with nothing more than a Japanese futon to match the low-profile of the piece and the Thos. Moser dining chairs are influenced by midcentury Danish minimalism. The great room (vaguely Southwest inspired with its shades of sandstone and sky) features curvy swivel chairs with cozy dimensions and a built-in rectilinear sofa whose rigidity is softened with an assortment of snuggly pillows. Two of the most striking pieces in the home, the black De La Espada Nest chairs that flank the stone-tile hearth, initially gave the designers pause. “We were unsure about this unconventional seating arrangement in front of the

main fireplace,” says McGuire of the decor’s statementmaking moment. “But the client had a clear vision for them, and they turned out to be whimsical and sculptural focal points that also serve as a quiet retreat.” In a home where unconventionality is celebrated, the harmonious vibe McGuire alludes to might seem elusive, were it not for the time-tested idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. “Think of this house like jazz,” says Tenzin. “The occasional off-key notes create a higher-level harmony, and a lively sense of personality and authenticity.”

As a counterpoint to the assertive pattern play in the master bedroom between the prayer rug on the wall and the Navajo rug on the floor, the designers chose a quartersawn walnut bed by New York designer Robert Sukrachand. The slim profile of the piece is complemented by Piet Hein Eekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nightstands and the Triad 9 chandelier by Apparatus.

EARTH BOUND THROUGH HER DESERT-INSPIRED PAINTINGS, A DENVER ARTIST SEEKS CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE LANDSCAPE AND THE COSMOS. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY REBECCA STUMPF

t was an accident that inspired Denver-based artist Stella Maria Baer’s unusual technique. She was painting in the desert when a sudden gust of strong wind knocked her easel into the dirt. “At first I was devastated,” she says. “But later a friend suggested that maybe the earth wanted to be part of the painting.” To Baer—whose inspiration for her paintings of celestial objects and photographs of the desert often stem from her surrounding environment—this made perfect sense. It kicked off several years of learning how to create pigments from sand and dirt. “I realized I could make paintings not only inspired by the landscape,” she says, “but also, from the land itself.” The idea was just another twist on Baer’s professional path. She was raised in New Mexico by artists—her mother was a weaver; her father, a gallery owner. Although she studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Dartmouth and Middle Eastern peacemaking as a graduate student at Yale, she found her career calling in the New Haven, Connecticut art studio of Titus Kaphar, where she worked between classes. “It was there that I began to learn a language I’d been trying to speak for years, but hadn’t known how,” she says. Baer’s work connects three seemingly disparate concepts: outer space, the deserts of the Western United States and the female form. But careful examination of her works allows one to see how their soft tones (many crafted with earthbased pigments, as well as oil and watercolor paints) capture the essence of the desert as much as they do the solar system. And these same flesh shades play into Baer’s more recent paintings and nude photographs of women. The artist says they are related, comparing photographs from Mars to the canyons of Abiquiú, New Mexico, and the curves of women’s bodies to that of the cosmos and landscapes. “There is a mythology of the desert that overlaps with the cosmology of space,” she theorizes.

Artist Stella Maria Baer poses in front of some of her pieces (opposite). Her studio contains books (left) as well as the natural pigments, sand and dirt, she uses to create paints (below). A row of paintbrushes sits atop her oil paint palette (bottom).

Baer’s painting, Our Lady of the Desert, hangs above a low table she uses to process dirt and sand into pigments (left); the tall table is where she works with oils. Rows of paint tubes (below) show the range of shades the artist uses.

“And there is a relationship between how we see the female body and how we treat the land. The faraway and the nearby are interdependent and interconnected.” Ongoing, thoughtful consideration of this concept means that Baer’s work process is unrushed. “Usually I think about a painting for months, or even years, before making it,” Baer says. “Once I start a piece, things will happen that I don’t expect and can’t predict, but normally I begin with a vision.” It takes weeks (at times, even months) to create her textured works, sometimes applying layer upon layer of paint to create what she calls relief sculptures that resemble lunar surfaces, meteors, stones or human skin. Years after the wind sent her canvas tumbling to the desert floor, it’s the ability to communicate with her audience that continues to motivate Baer. “I love bringing a vision that exists only in my mind out into the world,” she says. “I like learning that what I’ve created is speaking to people in ways that I never could have imagined.”

he peaks of Mount Daly and its surrounding ridgelines dramatically announce themselves through the windows of this slope-side home in Snowmass Village—but it wasn’t always so. Before a recent renovation that amplified the views, heavy embellishments and dated features muted the scenery. “The way the house is sited, the layout and the window locations are really great,” designer Anne Grice says of the home, which was built in the early 1990s. “The big question was whether it could be made up-todate and contemporary.” It was a question that Grice’s clients wrestled with from the moment they purchased the home. From the beginning, the husband loved the structure’s stone

walls, ceiling beams and extensive wood paneling, but his wife wanted something more streamlined. “She was worried about how the contemporary style she hoped for would integrate with the existing architectural features,” Grice says. In the eyes of the designer, transforming the residence was a matter of stripping away excessive details for the wife while retaining the craftsman-style elements the husband most admired. Grice started with the façade. The original exterior had hunter-green shingles with blond-wood columns, doors and trim. The wife asked the designer to darken the outside to a hue matching the very dark brown tobacco barns and horse fencing that are commonplace around the couple’s primary home in Franklin, Tennessee.

Above: Dark-stained cabinetry, designed by Grice through Vaussa, complements the darkened beams and lintels in the kitchen as well as the living room and the long gallery, visible through an opening over the farmhouse sink by Franke and a Hansgrohe faucet.

Grice designed a custom table for the dining area, which enjoys nearly 180-degree views through large picture windows and glass doors by Sierra Pacific Windows. The chairs are custom through Patricia Edwards, and the mobile light fixture is by John Pomp.

“At first, nobody knew what we were talking about,” the wife says of the nearly black shade, “But we wanted this color because it’s aesthetically pleasing with the green mountain slopes.” Architect Bill Pollock then specified a new standingseam metal roof in the same hue. For Pollock, the project represented a full circle: He had worked with architect Tim Hagman on the original house. “The design and the layout really work, which is a testament to Hagman’s design,” Pollock notes, adding that the recent remodel provided opportunities to update finishes and fixtures. To provide continuity, Grice brought the tobacco-hued shade inside incorporating it on the large ceiling beams. While those beefy beams remained, much of the existing rustic wood did not. The knotty-pine flooring, wainscoting, built-ins and cabinetry, for instance, had developed an orange hue over time, so Grice had the elements removed. A new white-oak floor was installed, and the wood ceilings were sandblasted to remove the orange cast and create a pleasing contrast with the now darkened beams. “All of this was a game changer because it really allowed us to clean everything up,” Grice says. Next on the list was a revamp of the windows and exterior doors. Although their locations were perfect, their mullions and heavy trim fractured and detracted from the landscape. “We restructured the headers for larger doors and windows to better capture some of the views of Mount Daly,” says builder Greg Woods, adding that the new glass is double paned and thus better insulated. “The energy efficiency makes a night-and-day difference,” he says, noting that his team also replaced the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

In what was previously the dining room, Grice created a home office with a Natuzzi lounge chair and customshaped rug by Tufenkian for relaxing while looking out to the courtyard. The Rosemary Hallgarten alpaca throw is from Town and the accent table is by Holly Hunt. A blown-glass light fixture designed by Grice hangs above.

The homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gallery is punctuated with a custom console and a painting by local architect David Warner. Grice chose a frame to match the blues in the painting. The white-oak flooring here and throughout the common areas is from Arrigoni Woods.

Grice condensed the master bath to allow more room in the adjacent closet—a move that focused more attention on the window and views. The counters, tub surround and shower bench are Calacatta Borghini marble from GraniTech. The cabinetry is custom through Vaussa, the Zia-Priven lighting is from Una Malan in Los Angeles and the wall tile is by Mosaïque Surface.

As she mapped the interiors, Grice was careful to emphasize the views without creating distractions. Colors, for example, are in the wife’s favorite shades of soft gray and sedate blue. Another client request was for comfort and durability, so all the new pieces had to stand up to their active dogs and young grandchildren. Practically, that translates into plush seating and resilient fabric throughout the home. “All of these little things add up, so the house feels elegant, comfortable and like it all flows together,” she says. Whenever possible, Grice commissioned artists to create custom works, including many furnishings and light fixtures of her own design. One of the most personal is a series of three encaustic paintings by Theresa Stirling

in the living room that depict the clients’ horses back in Tennessee. Grice herself designed airy, sculptural pieces to balance out the weighty architecture, such as walnutand-steel consoles set against the stone walls in the home’s entry and its long hallway, and the delicate blownglass pendant lights in the beamed foyer and study. In the end, Grice achieved the mountain contemporary look the wife was after while giving new life to the husband’s favored wood and stone elements, a fact they witnessed during a spectacular home reveal staged by the designer. The wife describes the first sight of the new home as putting to rest the initial concerns they had, saying: “When we saw everything—the house fully furnished and art hanging on the walls—it just floored both of us.”

Grice lined an existing niche in the master bedroom with oak paneling and leather panels from CC Leathers Inc. in Toronto to serve as a headboard for the custom platform bed through Bradshaw Design in Salt Lake City. The reclining theater chairs are by Mimi London, the accent table is by Palecek and the bed shams, bolster and faux-fur coverlet are by Misia from John Brooks Incorporated.

PAST PERFECT THE RENOVATION OF A DENVER HOME BRINGS MIDCENTURY STYLE TO THE ROCKIES, BUT WITH A 21ST-CENTURY TWIST. WRITTEN BY JORGE S. ARANGO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD

For this Denver home, designer Kim Layne selected Visual Comfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Venetian-gold Brittany chandelier by Neirmann Weeks and a John-Richard mirror from CAI Designs to bring subtle flash to the living room. White-velvet sofas are set against Hollywood Regency-style gray walls with creamy recessed paneling. A cut-pile carpet by Stark is underfoot.

ongtime Denver residents Jason and Adria McCool appreciate the Los Angeles brand of midcentury modern style so much that they travel there frequently. “We have always loved that city’s design vibe,” explains Jason. They even considered moving there, but when they discovered a sprawling 1960s home in the Mile High City that fit their Modernist viewpoint, they decided there’s no place like home. When the McCools hired designer Kim Layne to help update the vintage residence, they had no idea of the home’s history or its Hollywood connections. It was built by Marvin Davis, an oil mogul who once owned 20th Century Fox, Pebble Beach Resorts and the Beverly Hills Hotel, among other investments. Before moving to Los Angeles, Davis lived in the Denver house with his family. For the design, Layne honored the home’s legacy while implementing the style her clients love. “We gave it a new life with a nod to the grand Hollywood Regency style Marvin

For the foyer, Layne chose an Adele chandelier by Suzanne Kasler for Visual Comfort. The cascading crystal rectangles on the piece bring the 1970s era to mind. It glows over the circular form of Marge Carson’s Mirage round sofa, which is covered with an animal-print upholstery. White Carrara and black Nero Marquina marble packs a geometric punch while simple marble squares cover the floor beyond.

established during his time here,” Layne says. “The home is still glamorous, but now with the clean, modern bent it was intended to have.” Jason agrees, adding, “We tried to walk a fine line between classy and comfortable.” Inside, little was untouched, although the front closet with its 1970s wallpaper and green velvet-covered hanging rod remains just as it was in the Davis days. The parquet floor in the family room was also preserved and inspired the new, more clean-lined herringbone-wood floors elsewhere in the house. “Before, there was a lot of creamand-beige marble everywhere,” says Layne. “We wanted to update things with new modern materials that make a similar impact.” These elements translate into a dramatic foyer with white Carrara marble and black Nero Marquina marble pieces cut into trapezoid shapes and laid to create a geometric, statement-making floor. Enhancing the impact is a round sofa with an animal print, black-lacquered chests and a contemporary crystal chandelier.

The marble floors—which begin with the black-and-white pattern in the foyer, then morph into oversize white squares in the rest of the home—proved tricky for general contractor Austin Schmidt. “We were trying to install almost 4,000 feet of marble tile and there were no level horizontal planes in the house,” he recalls. “We had to pour self-leveling concrete on two-thirds of the floor space, and then lay the stone.” Schmidt acknowledges other challenges as well, noting, “The way homes were built 50 years ago is so different from the way we build now.” He cites the master bathroom as a prime example. When constructed, this area was a warren of small, awkward spaces, including his-and-her bathing areas, three closets and a sauna. Layne reconfigured the space into one large room with a freestanding glass shower, but Schmidt says the complexity of the original layout required his team to “reframe that area a couple of times.” The home’s color palette was inspired by a pair of stainedglass sidelights that once flanked the front door. The glass

Opposite: In a corner of the dining room, Layne assembled a colorful vignette on a Wyatt mahogany sideboard with a charcoal finish by Noir Furniture. The gold-leaf Gilbert sconce is by Arteriors. Below: Chairs around a custom dining table from Defined Details have gold-leaf legs and seats covered with a teal-colored chenille by Kravet. The sliding door—concealing a closet-turned-bar—is covered in Schumacher’s Chiang Mai Dragon fabric; the same print is used for the dining room curtains. Contemporary photographs by Shelli Breidenbach, purchased at Romanoff Elements in New York, hang on the walls.

Opposite: In the family room, floor-to-ceiling walnut panels from The Kitchen Showcase surround the fireplace. Capolavoro granite covers the surround. A crescent-shaped, bright-blue sectional hugs the hearth, and mustard yellow swivel chairs provide bright accents (all three pieces are by Kravet). Below: In the same room, a built-in bar was installed when the house was constructed. Layne refurbished it with Capolavoro granite on the backsplash and counter. Vanguard barstools await guests.

“THE HOME IS STILL GLAMOROUS, BUT NOW WITH THE CLEAN, MODERN BENT IT WAS INTENDED TO HAVE.” –KIM LAYNE

The designer had the original built-in shelving in the study painted teal. The playful asymmetrical geometry of the Scala Luxury desk with highgloss lacquered mahogany surfaces contrasts with the millwork’s traditional demeanor. The swivel armchairs are by Kravet.

elements were composed of vibrant shades of teal, gold and blue, and although they had to be removed to make way for a new steel-and-glass entry door, their colors live on throughout the house. “We used those shades as an inspiration to ground the palette in what the home had been,” Layne says. “Especially the teal element, which we wove through most of the rooms.” This hue appears in the elegant living room curtains, the library millwork and bookshelves, the velvet-covered dining room chairs and the family room’s barstools. The blue-green shades are frequently accented with notes of polished brass (as in the legs of the barstools). Truer blue tones appear in the family room, where the designer selected an oversize semicircular sofa in a bright cobalt hue that seems to embrace the fireplace. The fireplace wall now has a new lease on life, thanks to the designer’s fresh take on classic midcentury materials. Granite replaces ledgestone tile on the horizontal fireplace surround, and the tall, vertical volume is reclad in limestone. Layne covered the wall above the mantel with contemporary wooden squares outlined in raw steel—a twist on classic wood paneling. Across the room, a 1960s-style console wears an of-themoment gilded honeycomb print and is flanked by chairs with a bold foo-dog pattern. In the formal living room, Layne opted to reference the Hollywood Regency genre in a more direct way. The room’s paneled walls and niches are highlighted with shades of pale gray, cream and bright white, while the ceiling was painted a sky-blue hue. Low-backed sofas are upholstered in soft cream and teal shades, and the coffee table is crafted in a kidney shape. A California-cool note is struck with fine art photography showing The Beverly Hills Hotel, a pool in front of a midcentury house and a desert dotted with tall cacti. Today, the McCools couldn’t be happier with their new home—so much so they are making the trek to Los Angeles less frequently. “We come here for the weekend, close the gate and never have to leave,” says Jason. “It’s a peaceful, modern retreat.”

Right: The powder room gets a glam treatment with walls swathed in Kelly Wearstler’s ebony-andgold Crescent wallpaper for Groundworks. Quietly lustrous accents, including the antiqued gold Crofton mirror and Currey & Company’s spectacular Grand Lotus pendant, add mellow shine without excessive glitz. The vanity is by The Furniture Guild. Opposite: Bernhardt’s Bayonne bed is flanked by the brand’s Adagio nightstands and a sculptural pair of mirrors by Arteriors in the master bedroom. Layne chose a minkcolored Kravet silk to upholster the bed’s frame. Underfoot is a Nikki Kapoor rug, and by the window is a pair of armchairs from Lexington Furniture.

BAUHAUS BOLD WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATHRYN GIVEN

“EACH PERIOD OF CIVILIZATION CREATES AN ART THAT IS SPECIFIC IN IT AND WHICH WE WILL NEVER SEE REBORN,” PAINTER WASSILY KANDINSKY EXPLAINS OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ART MOVEMENT OF THE 20TH CENTURY. BAUHUAS, OR ‘BUILDING HOUSE,’ WAS THE GERMAN SCHOOL FOUNDED IN 1919 BY ARCHITECT WALTER GROPIUS THAT EMPLOYED ARTISTS SUCH AS PAUL KLEE, JOSEF ALBERS, AND KANDINSKY. ITS AIM WAS TO UNIFY ALL ARTS, INCLUDING PAINTING, ARCHITECTURE AND SCULPTURE INTO A SINGLE CRAFT ALLOWING FOR A REIMAGINED MATERIAL WORLD IN WHICH ARTISANS CREATED BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL ITEMS. WHILE ORIGINALLY RADICAL, BAUHAUS DESIGN CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE PRODUCTS CREATED A CENTURY LATER.
