EDITOR’S LETTER

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In 2016, when entrepreneur Alex Ryden was selling his bag brand, Age Carriers, from the living room of his Denver townhouse, he noticed that many customers had more questions about his sofa than his sleek, stylish bags. Inspired, he swapped out his furniture for pieces from local makers, then opened his doors to shoppers who jumped at the chance to see how the furnishings looked in an actual home. A business was born: Today, Guest House decorates homes for real estate agents, developers and homeowners in Denver and Boulder, using locally made furnishings, ceramics, rugs and original artwork that evoke a relaxed modern lifestyle. Local interior designers are tapped to create a unique look for each house, which opens to shoppers for weekend events and open houses until the property sells. Customers can make purchases on the spot or via Guest House’s website or Instagram. This spring, look for a shoppable townhouse on Boulder’s Pearl Street, plus goods from a fresh crop of local makers. guesthouseshop.com

CLARITY FORNELL
What happens when a traditional loom falls into the hands of a weaver with a brave, experimental style? In the case of Aspenbased artist Clarity Fornell, you get custom wall hangings, wool rugs and baby alpaca pillows with a cool, contemporary edge. Here, Fornell shares what drives her irresistible designs. clarityelisewovens.bigcartel.com Why is weaving your artistic expression of choice? The possibilities on a loom, as far as textural dimension and pattern, are endless, and I love trying something new. My tool, the floor loom, allows me to produce on a large scale in a fairly short amount of time. I can complete a blanket—one of my favorite things to weave—in four days. How would you describe your style? I have two very distinct styles: My interior goods have a simple, Scandinavian style and are inspired by architecture or a client’s interior design. My fine art is bold, graphic and experimental, and often inspired by music, contemporary art, nature, even Eastern European tattoos. I’m also beginning to learn fashion construction and upholstery. What colors and materials catch your eye? I always use natural materials because they exude luxury. My current palette features neutral colors because they are on trend, but who knows what will come in the future. I love developing color stories for each new collection. 100 / LUXESOURCE.COM

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH
Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s installation work provided a new understanding of scale, medium and accessibility, forming a lexicon beyond previous perceived notions. Completed in 1983, Surrounded Islands (shown) stands as one of the most poignant public works of the century; the pair wrapped 11 islands in Miami’s Biscayne Bay with floating pink polypropylene fabric. The work spanned 7 miles and could be seen from land, water and air, boldly displaying the impact of man-made creations on the aquatic world.

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

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

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

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

building relationships.
“We strive to create innovative and unique architectural designs that characterize the personality of both the client and the land upon which they are built,” founder Kyle H. Webb says. Involved from concept to completion, the KH Webb team spends a ton of time helping clients dream … and consider the possibilities. The firm also gives back regularly, donating its services locally and abroad.
“‘Green’ is more than a word; it is an approach we have followed since our college days,” Webb says. From sensible site design that maximizes seasonal solar gain, minimizing the need for irrigation and site impacts, to reclaimed and recycled materials, building smart and sustainably is a passion the KH Webb team lives and works by.
“Equally important to us is the awareness of and respect for the relationship between architect and client,” Webb says. “Through open and consistent dialogue, we faithfully translate the client’s personal needs, desires and vision.” In addition to absorbing how clients live and desire to use their spaces, the KH Webb team gives great consideration to budgetary and timeline goals.

A LITTLE ABOUT KYLE Kyle H. Webb founded KH Webb Architects in Vail, Colorado, in 1999. Over the past nearly 20 years, he has built a small, yet loyal staff of professionals. “Our firm is, by design, a boutique operation where clients are always regarded as members of our team,” he says. Living in the Vail area for close to 30 years, Webb believes strongly in being part of and helping the community, serving on numerous boards, staying actively involved in local schools, mentoring architects in training, and more. Likewise, his firm has received countless honors and awards for its work, with recognition in regional and national magazines, and many community service accolades to boot.

SITTING PRETTY
When designer Ariella Duker of A-List Interiors bought 10 1/2 acres in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, she didn’t imagine that months of building delays on the property’s main home would mean designing the pool house first. “The estate is beautiful in the summer months,” Duker notes, so the pool area quickly became the focus. While originally the design of this space had been simpler and more seasonal, the structure is now built for year-round use and features a sophisticated scheme with an elegant kitchen for entertaining as well as a boho bath that adds to the eclectic feel. alistinteriors.com We love the global influence. The design and decoration certainly have a European flair: from the boxwoods and espalier trees framing the outside of the stucco structure to the antiques inside I’ve amassed over time. I like to think of this as country French in upstate New York. Even the bathroom feels international! I wanted the pool house to be both grand and casual at once.
How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych. The small but mighty kitchen holds a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Monogram ice maker and Shaws Original sink by Rohl. Walker Zanger tile decorates the floor of the bathroom. 174 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

ARCHITECTS
BERGLUND ARCHITECTS After working for an Aspen-based firm for 10 years, Hans Berglund founded Berglund Architects in 2004 in Edwards, Colorado, with a focus on designing high-end mountain modern homes. Staying true to this mission and passion, he and principal Stephanie Lord-Johnson have expanded the firm’s reach beyond Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, and into the Midwest, East Coast, Canada, the Caribbean and British Virgin Islands. “We love to work with a diverse group of clients in new communities and landscapes, and with new construction partners,” they say. Adding to the firm’s upward trajectory is its entrée into the commercial and hospitality space—including the design of a 7,000-square-foot classroom building for an education center; a 112-unit workforce housing project; a number of small commercial tenant finish projects; hospitality remodels and townhome units. This past year, they completed the conceptual design for a large health-care facility as a joint venture. While the firm is highly regarded for its modern take on regional style, both Berglund and Lord-Johnson say client collaboration is at the core of every project’s stylistic direction. Beginning with a charette, the team pulls inspiration from the physical site, sense of place and, ultimately, the clients’ dreams—including a list of their favorite spaces in the world that provides insightful intel upon which to draw. The result? “Uplifting, inspiring, emotionally powerful architectural and interior design,” they say.

What is the next move for your firm? We are doing more and more interior design, which allows for a well-integrated and coordinated final product.

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

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

Channeling summer living in the Hamptons, this round reclaimed plank top dining table is crafted from solid teak and thoughtfully designed to withstand the harshest elements. With available coordinating pieces, such as garden benches and lounge and arm chairs, your outdoor living space will exude classic style and laid-back elegance. mecox.com

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

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

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

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

THE DENVER SHADE COMPANY 303.517.1994 | denvershadecompany.com | @denvershadeco
When it comes to unique selling points, The Denver Shade Company has many. Not only does it have Colorado’s only outdoor living, sun controlbased showroom, it carries only top-of-the-line designer shading products, mostly from Europe. “Due to high energy costs, Europe has a particular focus on sun protection and innovates at a faster rate than domestic products,” principal Jared Layton says. “Better engineering means better control over the elements, and better-looking products integrate more seamlessly into a home’s design.” With Colorado’s beautiful, sunny weather comes a very high sun index rating. It’s a challenge The Denver Shade Company easily manages with a wide range of automated shading systems ready for Colorado’s unique brand of weather. “The sun’s constant movement requires shading products that are also in motion: tilting louvered roofs, retractable shade covers, or even a vertical screen to shade the low western sun,” Layton says. The best part? The company’s newly expanded, state-of-the-art showroom, opening April 2019, invites clients to experience all of these products and more, live and in person.
DENVER SHADE’S FOUR AREAS OF FOCUS Shading Structures. Automated shading systems with columns, beams, louvers, roofs and shades are all integrated into a single unit. Many include lights, speakers, rain and sun sensors, heaters, and even mist cooling systems. Shading Systems for Existing Structures. We transform existing structures like pergolas and open steel beam designs into fully functional outdoor living spaces. Motorized shading systems can help with direct sunlight, heat, rain and temperature. Screen Shades. Retractable, automated screens drop down on the sides of a patio space to shield it from too much direct sun. Exterior screen shades are also extremely effective for controlling solar heat gain before the heat enters the window or door. Retractable Awnings. Folding shade systems that allow for quick and easy remote-controlled shade.
All of our products are specifically curated to be the very best in both reliable functionality and top-end design features. 1
1., 2. & 3. From shading structures to screen shades and retractable awnings, The Denver Shade Company provides the perfect solution for every outdoor challenge. Here, automated systems with columns, beams and louvers offer function with the utmost style, while a retractable awning beats the heat without obstructing the view.

For landscape architect Phil Steinhauer, the relationship between a house and its landscape is symbiotic. This principle is revealed in the work of Designscapes Colorado, the firm of which Steinhauer is CEO. “The goal of any landscape design is to make it look like the home and gardens were designed at the same time,” he says. “Maintaining a cohesive style from indoors to outdoors is vital to the overall feel, flow and functionality of the design. When planning and building a garden or outdoor living space, take design cues from your home’s indoor spaces, architecture and building materials.” Steinhauer further emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive site analysis. “Collaborate with nature; nature can be a great collaborator in the design process. Look at the site from all angles, spend time in the space, and determine the visual strengths and weaknesses. All of this is significant, because at the end of the day, the goal is to make a garden and outdoor living space that complements the house and architecture.”
The idea of people moving outdoors is inspiring and gives us the opportunity to create spaces on larger scales.

omewhere in the process of designing a house that engages with its steep topography while accommodating 60 major pieces of art, architect Sarah Broughton mused that organizing the many elements on such a large project was akin to a conductor leading an orchestra. “Working on this project was like dealing with a complex piece of music, and it’s up to the architect to arrange it,” says Broughton, who welcomed the challenge. “We like complexity and depth—and we design with proportion, scale, light and materials. As you move through this house, you discover even more layers.” Purchased 11 years ago by a couple who split their time between Aspen and New York, the dated 1970s home in the Starwood community was originally slated for a remodel. “The striking views were unlike any property we looked at, but we bought it knowing we were going to renovate,” says the wife, who, along with her husband, has ties to several art institutions and museums. But when the time came to start construction, the reports from general contractor Briston Peterson were not encouraging. “As we started deconstruction of the residence, we found structural issues. After careful analysis, we realized that the building was substandard, and it made more sense to demolish a large portion of the old house rather than remodel it,” he says. From the outset, the wife was an essential member of the design team, which also included designer Manuel de Santaren. “Living in the house gave me a certain aspect that no one else had—and I definitely had a vision of what I wanted,” she says. That vision began with siting the new entry. “The old house had walls that blocked the mountain views, but I knew what was behind them,” the wife remembers. “From the front door, I wanted to see right through the house to the Aspen Highlands.” She also curated the placement of every painting and sculpture, including siting a Wim Botha sculpture in the entry and having a special wall built for a McArthur Binion painting at the top of the stairs. Broughton designed her own brand of sculpture—spaces that

possess a geometry that’s bold, but livable and relates to the commanding landscape seen through the large windows. From the outside, the house is almost unassuming, with barnwood siding that seems to help nestle the large structure into the surroundings and terraced garden beds—designed by landscape designer Arabella Thoyts-Beavers of Busy Beavers Gardening—that gently lead to the entry. Inside, just as the owner intended, the compelling mountain view draws the eye through to the back of the house where floor-toceiling glass doors open to an infinity-edge copper pool. In the main foyer, a wood-and-steel staircase with glass rails wraps the Botha sculpture before stretching to the next level and connecting with a mesh steel bridge, carefully crafted to be sympathetic to everything from high heels to bare feet. “There’s a nice balance between the doubleheight stair and the lower, more intimate ceiling below,” says Broughton. “The juxtaposition of the scale further reinforces the layering and depth of the architecture.” The structure’s crisp geometry prompted the owner and Boston-based de Santaren to select furnishings that act as counterpoints to the architecture, including contoured Vladimir Kagan sofas in the living room, a quartet of curved chairs and a round rug in the family room, as well as William Haines chairs with graceful bent-metal frames in the master suite. “I always think there should be visual tension in a space,” says the wife. “To accomplish that goal, you need pieces that surprise and break the geometry.” Upholstered pieces sport natural fibers like wool and linen in neutral tones that don’t detract from the beauty of the surroundings or the artwork. “Overall we decided that the house needed to convey a sense of textural warmth and ease,” says de Santaren. “The lack of pattern is intentional, we wanted to give the art room to breathe and be the centerpiece of the visual language.” Throughout the house, the architect took the lead on material selection, which plays out in a variety of shapes and patterns that underscore the fact that this is anything but one-note architecture. The same concrete used on the exterior, for example, repeats in the monumental living room fireplace surround, but here it’s scored into large rectangles. The same gray color and form of the concrete is found in the master bedroom’s fireplace but expressed with leather squares. Also, in the master bedroom, a raised limestone plinth starts at the base of the steps and continues under the fireplace. A similar feature occurs in the adjoining bath, but this time as a raised marble platform under the sink. “It’s important to have continuity of theme and vocabulary but changes in materials,” says Broughton. The intricacies are not lost on the grateful homeowners. “Everyone who worked on this house put in 200 percent and there isn’t one person we don’t appreciate for their contribution,” says the wife. “It was a tremendously fun house to create.”
Inspired by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, architect Sarah Broughton crafted this Aspen home’s stair landing with a wire-mesh floor. Ivanka concrete panels and blackened metal define the fireplace in the living room, where designer Manuel de Santaren and the homeowner selected Vladimir Kagan sofas and a coffee table from Cristina Grajales Gallery in New York.

I “I TRY TO STAY OPEN TO NEW POSSIBILITIES AND NEW WAYS OF WORKING.”
n 2003, multimedia artist Robert Brinker had an “aha” moment. He and his partner, Pamela Joseph—a fellow artist who also uses a range of mediums—were working at the American Academy in Rome, when they took a day trip to the nearby archaeological site and former port town Ostia Antica. “All the streets were lined in mosaics,” says Brinker, describing the wayfinding system of the ancient city. “I said, ‘I could do this on paper.’ ” With this inspiration, Brinker began creating paper collages. This was a new personal direction for the Chicago native (he credits his hometown for being an important influence), whose work ranges from cut paper and paintings to photography and more. But it wasn’t the first time Brinker considered the role collage plays in art. He delved into the professional art world while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The artist also worked as a studio assistant for painter Phyllis Bramson, who often used collages in her paintings. “She was a major influence,” says Brinker. “Collaging other people’s paintings made her paintings better.” It was Bramson who encouraged Brinker to take a summer internship as a print shop manager at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, where he worked with master printers and artists. The experience ignited a passion, and after continuing there with a winter residency, Brinker finished his studies and returned to the center. Colorado has remained his home base ever since,
although his work has given him the chance to explore the world. “Travel has definitely inspired me,” says Brinker. “I’ve been able to see art in person that before I’d only seen in books.” With these travels has come an evolution of Brinker’s work, which he views as a vital aspect of his career. “My friend, artist Jane Dickson, once observed: ‘Each piece that you make births another piece,’ ” says Brinker, pointing to his recent “Chasing Dragons” cut-paper series as an example. He created the collages in the collection from leftover scraps of paper and is now making paintings based upon those collages. He also just launched a line of athletic wear inspired by the series. For another project, he scanned his small-scale cut-paper works, printed them out in a larger size and then cut them up again. “I try to stay open to new possibilities and new ways of working,” he says. “I consider the best ways to make ideas work.” Sometimes what that means is simply taking the time to sit back and examine his art. Brinker observes that one’s mind is as important as the materials he uses. “I like to look at my work in different areas,” he says. “It’s important to take time to sit back and look at it.” But he acknowledges that once a piece leaves his studio he has to allow people to see it from their own viewpoint. “That’s exciting, motivating and scary,” Brinker says. “But not scary in a bad way. People are always going to bring their intention. It’s important to just put it out there.”

n many ways, this was the perfect vacation home for an extended family. Built near a golf course in Castle Rock, the expansive retreat boasts enormous windows with lush views, native-stone walls and multiple guest rooms for children and grandchildren. However, the circa 1980s interiors were less than ideal, so the owners sought direction from designers Susan Schwab and Kristi Dinner to recast the abode as a contemporary and comfortable retreat. “They wanted a modern feel, but they wanted it to be warm and inviting,” says Schwab. First, the designers addressed the choppy layout by opening the space on the main level, removing two walls: one between the dining room and great room and another cutting the kitchen off from the dining area. They replaced the dated carpet and tile flooring in this space with gray-toned hardwood, which brings out the gray notes in the stone fireplace wall. Next came a new coat of paint for the interior and exterior walls. “Painting the walls white and accenting the trim with a warm, taupe gray changed the look of everything,” Schwab says. “Now, the space feels very current.” In addition to those gestures, introducing metal and concrete into the architectural mix of glass, wood and stone further steered the project in a contemporary direction. They chose bronze, for example, to accent the custom entry doors, and married the metal with concrete in the master bedroom’s fireplace. They also used bronze to wrap structural columns and fill in spaces in the ceiling beams that were left when they removed the old track lighting.

The wine cabinet was fabricated by Exquisite Kitchen Design with racks by VintageView.
In similar fashion, landscape designer Scott Kleski demolished the traditional slate-and-stone patio to make way for more modern porcelain pavers across a larger open space that was once bound by perimeter walls. “I wanted to take those walls out and let the patio flow all the way to the golf course,” he says. And as general contractor George Trusz executed the construction, he overhauled the home’s infrastructure in the process—a huge undertaking that included building new wind-shear protection after structural walls came down, removing an elevator and relocating heating and cooling systems. “I don’t think that we left any part of the house untouched,” he says. When Schwab and Dinner were ready to furnish the home, part of their mandate was to infuse it with vibrant
pops of color. “Our other homes have been done in neutral tones. I was ready for some color,” the wife explains. Shades of red and orange punctuate the lowerlevel media room and the patio just outside, and they also enliven the kitchen’s breakfast nook and sitting area. “We like to move colors around the interiors, so they repeat and act as accents in a neutral palette,” Dinner says. They also incorporated curvy shapes and organic patterns to offset the home’s angular volumes. “Each space has a counterpoint to those angles,” Dinner explains, pointing to elements such as a globe pendant over the breakfast table, a rug in the study that’s woven with oversize flowers and the wallpaper imprinted with leaves that fully envelops the powder room.

The designers worked with consultants at Ann Benson Reidy & Associates and Walker Fine Arts to fill each space with art, opting for sculptural objects to hang as groupings on the wall—another tactic to give linear planes more dimension. “This is how we ended up with some really fantastic pieces,” Schwab says. “Art can be all different kinds of media.” The designers also treated the lighting as artwork, choosing fixtures as varied as tissue-paper-like pendants hanging from red cords, a chandelier made of Shabbat candles by Israeli glass artist Shimon Peleg and light fixtures with gold-leaf interiors. “We’ve never had such iconic lighting,” the wife says. “The pieces add so much personality.” Finally, Schwab and Dinner transformed the lower level into a media and games hub for the owners’ three children and their families, a tactic designed to keep them coming back every summer. “We wanted it to be sophisticated enough for adults with a little touch of whimsy for the kids,” Schwab says. The five guest rooms, Dinner adds, cater to the different ages—each one with its own signature wallpaper. “They really feel like destinations, not like sterile hotel rooms, and each of the rooms have a sense of fun,” she says. After their first summer there, the wife confirms the design has had its intended effect. She happily notes, “Now, the entire family wants to come here!”

Just as they did inside, the designers used shots of orange to decorate the new lower patio. Woven Kannoa Maui Leisure chairs—purchased through Chuck Wells—in orange and silver face the Flo fire table and Crossings sectional, both by Brown Jordan. The Lucy counter stools by Bend and Sifas’ white Kwadra dining table and chairs are all from Hoff Miller.

Right: Schwab and Dinner chose tile and pattern as a “playful riff” on the master bathroom’s tall, geometric volumes. The chevron field tile is from Decorative Materials, and the Chelsea tub and Sigma Designer Faucetry fittings are from DSKB Plumbing & Tile. The fanciful Veli Couture Suspension pendant lights are by Slamp from Fusion Light and Design. Opposite: Layers of drapery help tame the scale of the master bedroom, while the organic forms of the Moooi Heracleum pendant and the Anemones 12 painting by Lourdes Sanchez—from Ann Benson Reidy + Associates—soften the room’s angular features. The dresser is by Seaton Frank Wood Studio, and the Bond Street Coupe club chair and ottoman, dressed in fabric by Rubelli, are by Donghia.

T
he first thing you notice when approaching this Denver home, reimagined by designer Miranda Cullen, is a trio of modern peacock chairs dressed in turquoise cushions perched confidently on the wraparound porch. The home’s high-style curb appeal offers just a hint of the color story that struts its stuff inside. Emerald green dining chairs pop against a high-gloss blue fireplace and a rainbow of color-blocked books fill the shelves in a living room, painted an oceanic hue by Sherwin-Williams dubbed Seaworthy. Clearly, homeowner Jon Kinning is not afraid of color—and for the designer that was a welcome change. “So many clients these days are asking for white and bright,” Cullen says. “Jon’s love of dark blues, greens and even hot pink was really refreshing.” And while the finished project is undoubtedly a chromatic statement—complete with magenta tufted-velvet ottomans and flocked black wallcoverings—at its heart, the house is actually a study in strict functionality. “I approached Duet Design Group because the house wasn’t really fulfilling my needs at the time,” says Jon, who is a father of two teenagers. “We weren’t utilizing the spaces and the furniture layout wasn’t comfortable.” The fact that a full redesign would offer the opportunity to abandon the dated furnishings and reimagine a dull color scheme was an added bonus. Jon had purchased and expanded the residence, but over the years had found that much of its nearly 6,000 square feet was going unused, specifically a sprawling open-plan basement that the family almost never ventured into. Cullen, along with designer and co-principal Devon Tobin, made a handful of simple yet strategic changes to the home’s layout that made a dramatic impact. For instance, they removed a bulky wall and fireplace in order to gracefully connect the living room, dining room and kitchen. “The huge existing fireplace chopped up the spaces and wasn’t really true to the architecture of the 1905 house,” says Cullen. A new svelte partial wall features a modern fire box that’s open on both sides and is covered in three-dimensional tile lacquered in a deep blue. The piece acts as an accent wall for the dining room, where a chandelier of lissome gold branches hangs above a modern white dining table.
For this Denver family room, designer Miranda Cullen anchored an Anthony sectional by Brownstone Upholstery, covered in a felted-wool fabric by Sanderson. Made Goods’ black-and-white striped Carlotta nesting coffee tables add a dose of pattern, while a pair of emerald Athena table lamps by Robert Abbey and a Dwell Studio Sutton Hand Knotted Prussian area rug infuse color into the space.

Opposite: A double-sided fireplace creates an airy separation between the dining room and family room. In the dining room, Palecek’s Lyon side chairs surround a circular Misty dining table by Mr. Brown London. Overhead, a Cinder chandelier by Renwil is crafted with gold-plated metal and white opaline glass. Below: General contractor Rob Bacher installed Birch hardwood floors with a custom stain throughout the main living areas, creating a more cohesive look. The fireplace, clad in Modular Arts wall tile and painted in Sherwin-Williams’ Seaworthy, was designed to fit a flat-screen television. A trio of tufted custom ottomans by Rooster Socks Furniture are upholstered in Fabricut velvet.

Cullen selected the house’s new gray exterior color and Bacher custom-milled the new front door to match the home’s classic architecture. A trio of Cala armchairs by Doshi Levien for Kettal are dressed in peacock blue cushions that hint at the bold color found inside.

These same bold blue tones take center stage in the adjacent living room, where the walls are painted the same high-gloss hue. Rich velvet curtains were sourced to match the shade and trimmed with a white beaded tassel by Samuel & Sons. A pair of floor lamps with chrome shades, a sunburst mirror and a chandelier made up of delicate gold leaves brings additional elements of glamour. And while Cullen didn’t feel the need to stay true to a single era or style while selecting furnishings and accessories, she did want to honor the elegant turnof-the-century architecture in order to create a more cohesive look throughout. “The house was built more than 100 years ago, and she wanted us to recreate all the original trim,” says general contractor Rob Bacher, who had all of the molding custom milled. Cullen’s big test was the rarely used basement. In other parts of the house she opened up the rooms, but on this level the designer felt the problem was too much undivided space. She made another partial wall, this one fitted with a bar, to create separate areas for a home theater and a game room. One side contains a vintage arcade and a
custom poker table emblazoned with the green-and-white logo of Jon’s alma mater, Colorado State University. In the movie room, instead of unwieldy theater chairs, Cullen opted for a massive L-shaped sofa fronted by a collection of ottomans that can be arranged as desired for extra seating. The media system is custom fitted with recessed niches for the speakers behind the projection screen, creating a big screen-worthy surround sound experience. And while the new basement got rave reviews from Jon, it was praise from an even more discerning critic that ultimately deemed the space a blockbuster. Jon’s 16-year-old daughter has taken to throwing regular endof-the-week movie parties there for her friends. Close to a dozen teens fill the space on any given Friday, drawn by a vintage-style popcorn machine and a fully stocked candy bar in addition to the theater and the arcade games. The house has become the place where all the kids like to gather, and Jon says it’s the home’s defining moment. “I challenged the designers, saying that for me success would involve actually using that basement,” says Jon. “And they crushed it.”
Shades of blue and brass details combine to stunning effect in the kitchen. A row of Brabbu Nº20 counter stools are upholstered in ink-colored In the Moo’d leather and sit below a trio of Visual Comfort Goodman pendants in bronze and hand-rubbed antique brass. Glossy Cottage Field ceramic tiles by Waterworks line the backsplash.
Above: In the library, a Mones bookcase from CFC features octagonal shelves and was custompainted to match the walls. The homeowners requested the books be sorted by color. Left: High-gloss lacquer walls done in Seaworthy by Sherwin-Williams set the tone for this high-drama living room. A quartet of creamy white Bernhardt Furniture armchairs are accented by glittering elements, such as the brass Dancing Leaves ceiling fixture by Global Views and the gold-leaf Starburst mirror by Mirror Image Home.

Left: The craft room features more bold color and pattern, such as the Imperial Trellis wallpaper by Schumacher and a custom paint color created to match and used on the built-ins. The Broche light fixture by Crystorama was sourced through CAI Designs. Opposite: The bright-blue study’s elements are inspired by various eras, including the modern lines of the Atherton Shagreen Desk by Interlude Home, an antique-style Theodore Alexander Greek Key desk chair and a contemporary Boule De Cristal light fixture by RH.
