EDITOR’S LETTER

Pamela Jaccarino, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

PORTRAIT: JOSHUA MCHUGH.

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

EVOLUTION

INFLUENCED BY THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS, STATE-SIDE AND ABROAD, FIVE CREATIVES ARE EVOLVING THE DEFINITION OF AMERICANMADE FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES. WRITTEN BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE

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.

SHELF LIFE

MEET the MAKER

Make space on your coffee table for renowned Dallas-based interior designer Emily Summers’ beautiful new book, Distinctly Modern Interiors (Rizzoli). Throughout the pages, Summers—an industry titan who recently celebrated her 40 th anniversary in the design business—discusses creating a modernist home, including combining fine art with design, building collections, linking interiors with architecture, updating traditional homes, restoring structures and much more. “I’d like for readers to be inspired but also empowered to take some of these ideas and make them their own, no matter how large or small,” says Summers. The visually stunning publication features an edited selection of photos from Summers’ vast repertoire of award-winning designs. Dating to the beginning of Summers’ career, the projects showcased range from a contemporary city penthouse to a 1940s ranch and a 1960s Palm Springs getaway. And while all vary in period and style, and each was created to reflect the personality of the client, “There is consistency in the variety of material finishes, the placement of art, the consideration of unique accessories, and the depth of interesting furniture, both vintage and contemporary,” Summers explains. For design enthusiasts with a penchant for her covetable streamlined aesthetic, this book is a must-have. emilysummers.com

My prints and products are an extension of me that I love creating for customers. What inspires you? My current wallpaper collection is inspired by travel. I love exploring cultures and interpreting what I see through my aesthetic filter and into a final design. Travel, art, fashion and interactions with friends and mentors all influence my work.

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.

ARTWORK PHOTO: DAVID BURDENY, COURTESY BAU-XI GALLERY.

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, Smithsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

POP ROCKS

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

LLOYD FLANDERS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

Lloyd Flanders offers 23 distinct collections in a broad range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether a luxury-scale sectional or porch swing, there’s something for every outdoor space. While different regions of the country follow different trends, Lloyd Flanders’ furniture stays consistent with three key elements common in every design: timelessness, comfort and functionality. “Our furniture is built to last, and to be used as much as possible,” president and CEO Dudley Flanders says. Central to this is Flanders’ proprietary Lloyd Loom wicker—a natural-fiber wicker that features long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility. Thus, the furniture withstands full exposure to the elements—sun, rain, even snow—with minimal maintenance. “Vacuum or use a soft brush on woven material and cushions to remove organic material and loosen surface soil, then rinse with a mild detergent and clean water; it’s that simple,” says Warren Juliano, senior vice president of sales and marketing, regarding the line’s trademark ease of care.

INSPIRATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration at the touch of their fingertips. This has created a desire for customization, from mixing and matching materials to unique fabrics and finishes. Our Lloyd Loom products are available in 19 finishes and over 400 fabrics, so the digital age has really helped boost our business.

1. The Hamptons chaise, shown in White, comes in many finishes: Almond, Antique White, Charcoal, Chocolate, Ebony, Ivory, Platinum, Sage and others. 2. The clean lines and comfort-scale seating of the Catalina Collection, here in Hickory, create an effortless home oasis. 3. The Mesa Collection, made of woven vinyl, is shown here in a Pecan finish.

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

SITTING PRETTY

When designer Ariella Duker of A-List Interiors bought 10 1/2 acres in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, she didn’t imagine that months of building delays on the property’s main home would mean designing the pool house first. “The estate is beautiful in the summer months,” Duker notes, so the pool area quickly became the focus. While originally the design of this space had been simpler and more seasonal, the structure is now built for year-round use and features a sophisticated scheme with an elegant kitchen for entertaining as well as a boho bath that adds to the eclectic feel. alistinteriors.com We love the global influence. The design and decoration certainly have a European flair: from the boxwoods and espalier trees framing the outside of the stucco structure to the antiques inside I’ve amassed over time. I like to think of this as country French in upstate New York. Even the bathroom feels international! I wanted the pool house to be both grand and casual at once.

How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych. The small but mighty kitchen holds a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Monogram ice maker and Shaws Original sink by Rohl. Walker Zanger tile decorates the floor of the bathroom. 158 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

THE LATEST DESIGN TRENDS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LANDSCAPE INTO AN OUTDOOR OASIS.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE AND MARY ORE

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

Pavilions are an alternative way to provide shelter or act as an ornamental feature in landscape design. Unlike a typical gazebo, deconstructed structures with an exposed architectural framework, like this wrought-iron pavilion designed by architect Douglas Wright, who worked with LaGuardia Design Group and landscape designer Edwina von Gal, offers formality while allowing clear views to the Southampton, New York, propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surrounding dogwood trees, Myrtle ground cover and a shallow reflecting pool. laguardiadesigngroup.com

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.

Looking to make an eye-catching entry or porte cochere statement? Hammerton’s Chateau fixture, originally designed as an indoor accent and later modified for open-air living, proves that outdoor lighting can be both bold and elegant. As the only decorative lighting manufacturer to offer the industry’s highest performance standard for lasting durability in heavy UV and salt spray environments, this striking beauty can withstand all desert, coastal and tropical climates making it the ideal solution for a wide range of outside spaces. hammerton.com

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

WONDER WALL

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.

LOFTY GOALS COMFORT BLENDS WITH INDUSTRIAL STYLE IN AN URBAN-INSPIRED RESIDENCE FOR A DALLAS FAMILY. WRITTEN BY ROBYN WISE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NATHAN SCHRODER

ond memories of the Chicago loft they renovated as young newlyweds filled a Dallas couple’s minds when they enlisted interior designer Erin Sander and architect David Stocker, whom they met through builder Brad Ellerman, to bring their new house to life in University Park. “The owners wanted it to feel more urban, with industrial touches and a bit of edge,” says Sander. It was an appealing brief that gave the team a unique opportunity to create a family residence with an edgier feel. “They were shifting from a home nearby where they’d lived when their kids were babies and they had played it safe design-wise,” Sander adds, “to this house where they wanted to take more risks and incorporate finer details.” The couple also envisioned an inviting environment where they could entertain family and friends in style. “We love hosting parties,” says the wife, “so large, open-plan rooms and a dedicated bar area were important.” And, of course, the kids put in a request for a pool in the backyard.

To achieve both a welcoming feel and a citified flair, Stocker blended sleek structural elements with warm, natural finishes. For example, the exterior features a slate roof, cement-plaster façade and native Lueders limestone accents—along with steel windows and headers hinting at the industrial-chic aesthetic within. “The windows were key to the loft look the owners requested,” notes Stocker, who collaborated with project manager Philip Pitzer. “We also brought the darker steel color inside to the ceiling beams.” But while the exterior alludes to the interior spaces, it doesn’t reveal too much at once. Instead, the architect’s siting of the L-shaped residence created a side-yard entry sequence, guiding visitors down a path that turns before actually positioning them in view of the front door. “Architecture is like a play,” says Stocker. “It’s more enticing to have a good opening without giving everything away immediately.” The slow reveal continues inside, where Stocker positioned the more public entertaining areas—a dining

and living room with a formal bar—at the front of the residence, while everyday living areas such as the kitchen, breakfast and great room become gradually cozier and more private toward the back. At the same time, the architect strategically placed windows so natural light accentuates the scale and proportion of each area, whether small and intimate or large and open. “This home’s beauty cannot be attributed to one element alone,” the architect explains, “but to how the repeating patterns of privacy, light and contrasting materials combine.” For her part, Sander often used the exterior elements as a point of departure for the interior selections. A natural stone veneer appears on the great room fireplace surround and kitchen backsplash, for instance, as a nod to the organic-looking cement-plaster façade. “The beauty and imperfection of stone is a great complement to some of the harsher lines in the spaces,” she explains. Likewise, walls painted a crisp white juxtapose the steel windows and exposed structural beams, while white-oak flooring instills a sense of warmth. “The repetition of the wood elements combined with dark steel is what carries the palette through,” notes Sander, crediting Ellerman for beautifully executing wood details such as the mud room cabinetry, the surround in the kitchen, and the staircase and wood wall in the entry. “He’s one of the most artistic builders I’ve ever worked with.” At the wife’s request, pops of strategically placed saturated jewel tones appear throughout: In the dining room, a custom blown-glass chandelier injects shades of purple, while the chairs are upholstered in navy velvet. Another example is the living room’s brightly hued Marilyn Monroe painting, which the owners purchased specifically for this project.

While the furnishings share the sleek, urban look of the architecture, they are also conducive to everyday living and frequent entertaining. “Most of the pieces have a sculptural element to them while still being very comfortable,” Sander says. The wife was particularly drawn to the wood-frame lounge chairs upholstered in a patterned material in the living room. “They’re very much her style,” the interior designer notes. “The frame is structured, yet the fabric adds playfulness.” Other standout pieces include the lanterns above the kitchen island, which perfectly underscore the overall industrial vibe.

The owners credit the strong collaboration of their team— which also included Bill Bibb of Archiverde Landscape Architects, who designed the home’s landscaping—for the successful execution of their vision. “Erin attended all the architecture meetings, which was crucial,” the wife says. “They took our ideas and ran with them.” And the children’s request for a pool did not go unanswered, making this residence perfectly suited to both living comfortably and entertaining well. “The kids often swim and spend time in the hot tub, and we’ve been having guests over a lot,” says the wife. “We are very happy here.”

Site Specific AUSTIN ARCHITECTS HELP STRIKE THE PERFECT BALANCE FOR A FAMILY SEEKING BOTH URBAN AMENITIES AND TRANQUILITY. WRITTEN BY MINDY PANTIEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DROR BALDINGER

Dick Clark + Associates designed this Austin entry as a gallery-like space. A Joyce Howell painting from Wally Workman Gallery groups with Bernhardt Design’s Argon bench from Decorum Home & Design and a Shape Up Pendant by Ladies & Gentlemen Studio for Roll & Hill from Twentieth in Los Angeles. The Andy Warhol screen print from Martin Lawrence Galleries accents the Ambella Home Collection credenza. A Victor Thall painting hangs in the foreground.

he entry sequence to Stacey and Brad Beckworth’s Austin residence is a calculated series of experiences that begins with a rapid descent at the entrance and continues along a meandering driveway. After crossing a stone bridge, guests catch a first glimpse of the low-profile structure and swimming pool through a stand of oak trees, concluding the journey on a drive court with a fountain where soothing water sounds permeate. “By the time you exit the car,” says lead architect Kevin Gallaugher, who worked with project manager Johanna Reed and project designer Samantha Voges, “you’ve completely forgotten you’re in a neighborhood and near the city.” One also might not register the unique placement of the front door on the side of the house looking away from the street. Faced with a 4-acre property containing two potential building sites, the team selected the more private and beautiful rear site, arranging the main spaces— including the great room and master suite—around a pool and oriented toward a wooded view. The layout mandated the front door also look that direction. “But because of the way the driveway snakes around,” notes Gallaugher, “you don’t notice you’re passing the backyard—it seems like a natural arrival.” For owners who desired the nearby Lake Travis schools for their children yet a more bucolic lifestyle at home, the siting was perfect. “You can’t even see the house from the road,” Stacey says.

Opposite: The Phillips Collection dining table pairs with Designmaster Furnitureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Denmark side chairs, all from Decorum Home & Design. Lindsey Adelman designed the 8-Globe Branching Bubble chandelier. Below: In the great room, chests and art from the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection flank the architect-designed fireplace featuring a limestone hearth and Venetian plaster surround, the latter by Sloan Montgomery. The Vanguard Furniture sofas and ottoman are from Decorum Home & Design. Lime-washed trusses fabricated by The SCC Group add warmth.

Along with a rural vibe, the couple wanted as little maintenance as possible, and materials such as Lueders limestone and integral-color stucco walls burnished to a smooth finish resembling plaster handily met that request. The limestone aesthetic was also important, “because we tend to bring elements like stonework inside,” Reed says. Hence, they chose a limestone with more fossils and color variation for both outdoor and indoor flooring. The material also complements the grounds meticulously crafted by landscape architect Moyara Pharis and her former designer, Maggie Goen, to preserve the natural habitat. In fact, due to their efforts, a butterfly migration continues through the property every year. Further bridging the indoor-outdoor divide, a white-oak wood first appears on the underside of the soffit above the front door and continues into the entry. “We wanted to give the residence a very warm, organic feel,” says Gallaugher, “by using natural materials and bringing the outside in.”

The wood re-emerges on the kitchen cabinetry, the master bed frame and other interior elements. Stacey praises builder Dustin Seymore for the beauty and continuity of the work, noting, “He knows absolutely everything about wood grains.” For additional warmth, a combination of steel dividedlight windows, multislide doors and strategically placed clerestory openings guarantees a steady glow of natural light throughout the home. At the same time, variations in ceiling heights help create more enticing spaces. “When you go from a low, narrow area like the entry and step into an expansive, grand space like the great room,” Gallaugher notes, “there’s a compression and release that makes the day-to-day experience much more interesting.” To help accommodate the furnishings and art, space planning took place ahead of time. “The plan for furniture informs the architecture—and the other way around,” Reed says. “It’s a holistic process.” In the great room, for example,

the architects made space on either side of the fireplace for chests, which pair with Tony Scherman paintings. Elsewhere, the gallery-like entry showcases a work titled Ruth’s Kitchen by Joyce Howell. “My grandmother’s name was Ruth, we always gathered in her kitchen and her favorite color was red,” says Stacey. “I had to have it.” Also in the entry, an Andy Warhol piece inspired pops of color throughout the interiors, including orange leather sofas near the wine room. Experienced home builders, both owners were handson during the process—and Stacey, on-site almost every day, was instrumental in not only the art but also furniture and accessories. “I’m drawn to European design and French antiques,” says Stacey, “and Brad prefers contemporary.” Hence, she incorporated existing antiques and, with assistance from designer Christopher Beach

of Decorum Home & Design, new furnishings like the great room sofas and live-edge dining table. Beach also suggested lime washing the great room ceiling trusses. “When I get stuck, he points me in the right direction,” says Stacey. The lime-washed trusses, dining table and knotty pine screened-in porches off the bedrooms are among the rustic nods that blend easily with the contemporary art and clean architectural lines. The result is a warm, comfortable and family-friendly house—exactly what the owners envisioned. “Things like wood in the ceiling balance the stone floors and help create a home that is modern and clean but not cold or cutting edge,” says Gallaugher, who applauds the owners for clearly communicating those goals from the outset. “A client with vision is a critical component to the success of any great project.”

The master bed frame was designed by the homeowner in collaboration with The SCC Group, who also fabricated it. Bella Notte bedding from Wildflower Organics complements the pool, which is visible from the room. Apparatus sconces and a pair of Elena Carlie giclée prints from Decorum Home & Design balance the space.

DRIVEN TO ABSTRACTION A PROFOUND CALLING REVEALS AUSTIN ARTIST HELMUT BARNETT’S INSTINCTUAL, COMPLEX AESTHETIC. WRITTEN BY SHAWN GAUTHIER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY WYNN MYERS

ustin-based artist and painter Helmut Barnett’s story isn’t the oft-told narrative of an artist born with paintbrush in hand. Although he enjoyed doodling in the margins of his school notebooks as a child, it wasn’t until he visited Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts at age 20—while serving as an Air Force radar technician stationed on Cape Cod—that he discovered his true calling. When his eyes locked on Dutch painter Jan Asselijn’s The Threatened Swan, it ignited a deep-seated desire in him to become an artist, no matter the odds. “My resolve coalesced into an unshakable drive,” says Barnett. “Nothing was going to stop me.” After that pivotal museum visit, Barnett began painting copiously, learning what he could from library books. Eventually, he studied art at the

University of Texas, where he discovered his penchant for abstract. “I didn’t want to paint like people before me,” he says. “I wanted to be a modern painter, creating work that was distinctly my own.” More than 50 years later, Barnett now works out of a studio located in a century-old house. Light streams in through a large northernfacing window, illuminating a lifetime of work that is constantly evolving: abstract paintings, drawings and sculptures comprised of fluid lines and ethereal shapes. Strewn across Barnett’s studio floor are paintings in various stages of completion—he often hops from one to the next, allowing them to breathe and his mind to stew. His process is deeply intuitive: he first draws lines in rapid succession, his charcoal pencil guided by

pure instinct. As shapes emerge, he colors them carefully in acrylic paint. It’s not until the piece is almost finished that he steps back and refines the composition, resulting in work as viscerally complex as it is expertly controlled. “It’s very important to me to create art that is well done and intelligent,” he says. “Little changes—a line here, a shape there—make all the difference.” Barnett’s time in the Air Force continues to inspire him today. He spent his downtime between 16-hour flight missions voraciously reading art and ancient history books, and Greek pottery imagery and figurative form often weave organically through his work. He also credits his 1,600-square-foot studio as a source of inspiration. “This is my sanctuary,” he says. “When I’m here, I’m in my element and undisturbed—it’s a breeding ground for ideas.” In fact, it’s difficult to pull him away, as Barnett often works a 50-hour week, including weekends—although he does enjoy swimming laps midday for exercise and often heads home early during the winter to build a fire for his wife, Shelby. Against his studio’s walls now tower several large empty canvases. Their size is imposing, but Barnett isn’t concerned. After decades of honing his craft, he’s reached a place of unwavering confidence. “I don’t worry about where the work will be tomorrow but instead let it carry itself,” says Barnett, who is represented by Wally Workman Gallery. The artist, who honed his talent through passion and hard work, adds, “The essence of what I do is a love of the act of drawing and painting—lines, form and color, in all their infinite possibilities.”

aren and Scott Puckett moved with their sons from Louisiana and were house hunting in Houston when they met builder Al Ross, known for his meticulous attention to detail and quality construction. They toured a River Oaks residence he was completing in collaboration with residential designer JD Bartell and became smitten with its location and luxurious materials. “We looked at others,” Karen says, “but we kept coming back to this one.” So they signed the papers—and then enlisted interior designer Courtney Cangelosi to fill the new home with furnishings, art and accessories before the beginning of the school year, all with an eye to matching the craftsmanship of the build. “My philosophy is to take on projects as if I’m the owner,” says Ross, noting that he made it a point to review and approve Bartell’s proposals for the project. A modern house would not have suited the more traditional 1930s-era neighborhood. Instead, this structure was designed to link old and new world. “What distinguishes this house is its Upper Atlantic Federal style,” explains Bartell. “A prominent gable, tall windows and Ionic columns give it an air of strength grounded in tradition, while the custom iron-andglass entry and simplified ornament bring the classic detail to our modern age.” The lines of time were blurred inside as well. Period elements like paneling and molding create a feeling of formality, balanced by an open floor plan and retractable glass walls—a hallmark of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle so many homeowners enjoy today. “Al and JD did an incredible job,” says Cangelosi. “They have a keen eye for details and it was all constructed and designed to perfection.” With the home built and the interior finishes and appliances already in place when she came onboard, Cangelosi kept her focus on incorporating furnishings and accessories geared toward sophisticated and kid-friendly

“THE OWNERS WANTED LIVABLE, FUNCTIONAL AND SIMPLE, WITH NO CLUTTER.” -COURTNEY CANGELOSI

spaces. “The owners wanted livable, functional and simple, with no unnecessary clutter,” she says. To that end, she repurposed a few of the couple’s own items, including a tufted sofa in the formal living room and a midcentury dining table in the breakfast nook. For the most part, however, Cangelosi worked closely with the clients to find new pieces. “This house is different from our previous home so I needed help,” explains Karen, “but I’m not one to simply turn it over.” On the contrary: The hands-on owners accompanied Cangelosi to various showrooms, sitting on sofas and touching fabric options themselves. Their stops included Holly Hunt, where they bought the dining room table, and Cantoni, where they found Karen’s stainless-steel office desk. Along the way, Cangelosi kept an eye out for pieces with sculptural silhouettes to help soften and add interest to each area. “They’re simple but not simplistic,” she notes. Artful touches in the kitchen, for example, include Viennese-style counter stools, another Holly Hunt find, and a Kelly Wearstler Pop bowl. “Karen loves a super-modern look, but we thought that might feel forced in this house,” Cangelosi explains. So they went for clean lines—yet nothing too cold. The couple’s collection of art also enhances the decor. Works by artists such as Meredith Pardue, Lucrecia Waggoner and Zhuang Hong Yi, all purchased through Laura Rathe Fine Art, are a source of color and texture throughout. “The art brought that ‘wow’ factor we can enjoy every day,” explains Karen. Likewise, the views similarly punctuate the neutral palette. “Outside every window is greenery, whether it’s magnolia trees or vines,” she adds. “It’s absolutely beautiful.” Upstairs, the neutral hues continue in the master suite, which is enveloped in serene shades of taupe and charcoal. Here, the sitting room houses an existing midcentury sofa reupholstered in dark linen, which became one of Scott’s favorite pieces. “We didn’t think we’d use the sitting room, but we do,” says Karen. “It’s such a calming area.” Because the owners purchased the home in large part with their children in mind, they wanted to ensure their sons would have plenty of living space to call their own as well. To help achieve that goal, the couple asked Cangelosi to also furnish the third floor so the boys would have a place “to watch television, study or have friends over,” says Scott. “We wanted our house to be the hangout spot,” Karen adds. For family focused clients with their hearts set on being settled in before their children’s first day of school, Cangelosi went the extra mile to successfully furnish their new home on a short timeline and down to the last inch— without cutting any corners along the way. “I knew we could do it,” says the interior designer, “but it still felt like a huge accomplishment.”

This Houston residence was brought to life by Al Ross Luxury Homes in collaboration with JD Bartell Designs. Framed by gardens and greenery installed by VF Landscape, the exterior features a prominent gable, tall windows and Ionic columns that suit the 1930s-era neighborhood.
