EDITOR’S LETTER
O
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
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.”

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.

“THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE LEGACY OF DAN KILEY” An exhibition of 45 newly commissioned photographs of more than two dozen landscape designs by Dan Kiley is on display at the University of California, Riverside’s campus in Palm Desert (75080 Frank Sinatra Drive). Organized by the Cultural Landscape Foundation, the show celebrates Kiley’s modernist postwar environments, such as the Oakland Museum of California. “Kiley worked in tandem with leading architects like Eero Saarinen and Edward Larrabee Barnes to realize designs that were elegantly interwoven,” says the organization’s founder, Charles A. Birnbaum. “His vision was one of clarity and infinity, just like a walk in the woods.” tclf.org
BLACK CROW STUDIOS & A. RUDIN
Long Beach-based Black Crow Studios produces appealing, unorthodox wallcoverings that caught the eye of custom furnishings maker A. Rudin. To reach a wider audience, the companies recently teamed up, merging their eclectic and elegant styles. Black Crow founder Tracy Hiner talks to Luxe about the exciting new partnership. blackcrowstudios.com What does Black Crow Studios bring to A. Rudin? You can be classic without being boring and A. Rudin has always been very successful at achieving that, but I think we add a little fun to the company. What’s available in the showrooms? Our custom murals and by-the-roll designs, plus new collections, including a mineralinspired line that will be released this spring. How has the response been? Within days, we had orders coming in. It’s exciting to see our product styled with furniture and lighting—you see the furniture in a new way, too. In Manhattan, for example, a white couch was in front of a white wall; our bold blue mural was installed and now the shape of the couch stands out and looks even more beautiful. Why is this partnership good for a small business? More manpower and more reach, and working with a respected brand like A. Rudin helps people who are unfamiliar with our product feel more at ease. How do you see Black Crow Studios growing? I may be a small business, but I want to make a big difference. A portion of sales from our Caliber Collection goes to help end gun violence, and I want to expand that to all our collections and additional causes: LGBTQ, minorities, animals. I hope to push this entire industry into doing more. 90 / LUXESOURCE.COM
SHELF LIFE
Amid myriad residential projects and crafting collections for Astek, A. Rudin, Mansour Modern and Jamie Beckwith, Jeff Andrews has penned his first book, The New Glamour: Interiors with Star Quality (Rizzoli). Client and actor Kaley Cuoco wrote the foreword to richly illustrated chapters that explore Andrews’ cinematic approach to design. Here, he shares the story behind the book. jeffandrewsdesign.com Why was now the right time? Six projects were just completed, each with a different point of view. I’ve always been inspired by Old Hollywood, but I’ve realized it has multiple meanings for people. This book is about glamour now and how individuals define it. How did you choose the homes to show? I wanted to highlight the experiences I’ve had with clients, what inspires me, and choices I’ve made. It’s more than just a portfolio. Why include design advice? People don’t just want to know what you do, but how you do it. Describe some highlights of the process. It was interesting to look at what I’ve done and see how design and my creativity have evolved.

▲ 5TH AND HILL A 53-story, mixed-use tower is rising on the corner of 5th and Hill streets. Developed by Jeffrey Fish of JMF Enterprises and designed by Arquitectonica, the project, 5th and Hill, is exploring two configurations: a 190-room hotel with 31 condominiums or a purely residential option with 160 condos. Both include a restaurant, bar and luxury amenities. The innovative structure has an open core, offering a sense of weightlessness and increasing sunlight and views for each unit—some overlooking Pershing Square. Cantilevered, glass-bottom pools protrude from the façades of a dozen condos between the 39th and 51st floors, creating a Jenga-like silhouette. Fish, a native Angeleno interested in midcentury design, has made terraces a priority. It’s classic indoor-outdoor California living, just a more vertical version. Completion is set for 2023. 5thandhill.com
▲ PERLA ON BROADWAY Perla is a 35-story tower in the cinema-centric Broadway Theater District. Shanghai Construction Group America is targeting first-time buyers with studios in the $400,000s and two-bedroom upper units around the $1.5 million mark. Phase one nearly sold out in just two weeks and there is already a wait for phase two. Architecture firm CallisonRTKL designed a contemporary structure but added elements (wrought-iron grills and railings) to reflect the area’s history. The tower, with interiors by Hirsch Bedner Associates, will feature ground-level retail and commercial spaces, a four-story atrium, fitness areas, a pool with cabanas, fire pits and barbecues, plus dog runs, a media room and a WeWork office. Perla also benefits from neighbors like Apple, which is renovating the landmark Tower Theatre nearby. The project will be completed in 2020. perlaonbroadway.com

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

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. 162 / 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.

RAPPORT INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE
Since its founding in 1946, Rapport International Furniture has outfitted homes valued at $250 million, successfully navigated generational changes and opened seven storefronts. One might be inclined to wonder where the brand will go from there, but a few minutes with CEO Peter Skaaning assures the trajectory will only move upward. “We have a huge 40,000-square-foot flagship showroom,” he says. “Through this location and our others, homeowners and design professionals alike can touch and feel anything we offer. It’s an advantage when selecting product, and we look forward to continuing to work with our clients in this way. On the commercial side, we’re in talks right now with a few airline terminals for business jets, which is a growing market globally. We recently furnished the corporate offices for Qantas at LAX, and it was such a success that we are motivated to explore these possibilities more.” With a full staff of interior designers on hand, Rapport prides itself on the ability to assist homeowners who desire guidance and professionals who want to work closely business to business. “It makes the shopping for any project easy, painless—even fun,” Skaaning says. “Our longstanding presence in the community has allowed us to work on exciting projects, both residential and commercial.” From lighting to furnishings, Rapport International Furniture has a selection to rival even the seemingly endless options of the internet, with a hands-on experience that inspires confidence in every decision.

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

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

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.

No one turns challenging landscape layouts and functionality issues into design opportunities like Patricia Benner, principal of namesake landscape design firm, Patricia Benner Landscape Design. “We have an in-depth knowledge of a wide range of quality hardscape and other outdoor building materials, and use them in inventive and timeless ways,” she says. “Clients want their gardens to look beautiful and their outdoor living spaces to remain comfortable through all four seasons. As a result, we must be innovative in structuring and detailing to ensure there is warmth, shade, privacy and visual interest at all times.” Bringing this to fruition requires close collaboration with clients, identifying goals and aesthetic preferences, and engaging them fully throughout the process. With year-round opportunities for alfresco living in California, keeping the design seamless from inside to out is a top priority for Benner, who offers these tips for keeping it cohesive: “Bifold doors and operable glass wall systems connect interior and exterior spaces. Seamless flooring and a consistent palette boost this link and emphasize visual continuity.”
All of our services are geared to creating a beautiful, comfortable, well-integrated outdoor experience for the homeowner.

FOLIAGE FAVORITES In California, particularly where droughts have become more frequent and water is scarcer, designing responsibly is a must. “I like a rich green look in the landscape and seek out low-water plants in dark green hues to compose plant palettes that look thirsty and lush, but are, in fact, drought-tolerant,” Benner says. “Ceanothus, a California native plant with a beautiful blue flower and a dark glossy green leaf, is one of my all-time faves!”

SUNSET WEST 760.599.1021 | sunsetwestusa.com | @sunsetwestusa
According to Wes Stewart, CEO of Sunset West, today’s homeowner is moving away from matching outdoor furniture sets in favor of separate, yet cohesive and complementary, items. With a product selection boasting resin wicker, aluminum, wrought-iron and teak furnishings, as well as Sunbrella fabrics, Sunset West enables the consumer to tailor each piece to their individual tastes. As for his advice to homeowners beginning an outdoor project, Stewart says, “Do your research. What do you want your completed project to look like and how do you want it to function? Oftentimes, furniture is an afterthought to the contractor and people find themselves settling for a product they can fit into the space, rather than purchasing the product they wanted.” 1
Sunset West was founded on the idea that choice, style, comfort and quality need not be in the stratosphere when it comes to price. 2
OPEN-AIR FURNISHINGS: A CONVERSATION WITH WES STEWART Keys to a well-designed space? Scale and proportion. It should also have furniture in a style commensurate with the surroundings. Favorite product? That’s tough and space-dependent, but right now, my favorite would be our Coronado collection. Tips for proper upkeep? Furniture covers are probably the single best thing you can do for your pieces. The second best would be to dust off your cushions monthly and clean them yearly.
1. & 2. Transitional lines and a beautiful driftwood finish define Sunset West’s newest aluminum collection—Laguna. It works in many different environments, from sophisticated, contemporary beach homes to the casual decks of a favorite weekend retreat.

f it’s difficult to tear yourself away from this meandering residence in Los Angeles that architects Dean L. Pratt and Hugh Huddleson designed for their clients, that was just their intention. “The homeowners wanted to be able to wander and feel as if they were in a park-like setting—they wanted a property they never felt compelled to leave,” says Pratt. Granting their clients’ wish meant imagining a bright-white stucco-clad house that calls to mind the designs of early 20th-century architect Irving Gill and boasts a serpentine plan that connects to the dynamic 2-acre landscape at almost every turn. “There are views to courtyards, gardens and ponds on two sides of nearly every room,” Pratt says. “No matter where you are in the house or the landscape, you’re engaged.” While the rambling feel of the layout was inspired by the clients’ desire for a complex experience, the aesthetic was informed by their history. “The husband’s family has lived in Los Angeles for generations and so we thought about early California Spanish Colonial architecture as well as the early modernists in Southern California, particularly Gill,” Huddleson says. “The house is a fusion of those two things. It capitalizes on the softness and the poetry of Spanish Colonial style and also has some of the minimalism and understatement of early modernism.” The home is marked by white stucco walls, terra-cotta roof tiles and the dark-stained Douglas fir of the garage doors. On the interior, more stained Douglas fir canopies the voluminous living room, where terra-cotta tile floors and stained-wood windows add warmth and texture. “Almost all of the other rooms pinwheel off the living room,” Huddleson says. “The clients wanted a big room with lots of light.” In fact, the clients wanted every room to be filled with sunlight. “The husband followed the sun around inside his previous house,” Huddleson says, so he and Pratt planned for the breakfast room and the kitchen of the new house to face east and open onto a large sun-drenched courtyard with a fountain; the south-facing office looks to an expansive lawn and two ponds. “And the pool area has the perfect afternoon sun exposure for sitting and having a glass of wine,” Huddleson says. “We created a multiplicity

of outdoor spaces to discover and spend leisure time in. There are gardens they won’t go in every day, but that they will continually rediscover.” Designer Luis Ortega let the architecture and the outdoors take the spotlight and took a soft approach to furnishings. “The colors are subdued while the texture is more intense,” he says. “A wall in the master suite is a shade of pale green. It makes sense because there’s so much greenery that surrounds the room.” The designer adorned the vaulted ceiling and the walls of the kitchen with neutral-toned Moroccan tile with a shiny finish. “The math involved in applying that tile to the complex curves of the parabola was one of the more challenging experiences,” says general contractor Shawn Lannen. But the luminous effect of the perfectly laid tiles is a sight to behold. “The glaze changes the tile color while it bakes so they’re all slightly different,” says Ortega. In the living room, the designer used mostly shades of yellow and taupe and covered the sofas in sand-colored fabric and a pair of armchairs in pale yellow. The clients, who are art collectors, asked Ortega to conceive a frieze that wraps around the room. “During the 1920s and ’30s a lot of California interior architecture had murals like this,” the designer says. “We found an amazing painter and asked him to create images that express the California landscape from the early days of the pueblo to today.” Ortega also hung the couple’s collection of vintage Mexican hats above the fireplace. The gardens, spearheaded by landscape designer Jamie Schwentker, are equally as impressive as the home and its interiors. “The gardens adjacent to the house are more formal,” Schwentker relates. “There’s a progression toward naturalism and asymmetry as you move away.” The front entrance garden with its circular motor court is defined by a canopy of mature native California Coast Live Oak trees, a variety of white flowering vines planted on the walls of the house and attached trellises, and by a mass of white shrub roses. In what Schwentker refers to as the “night garden”—an enclosed, private garden which can be viewed and entered only from the formal dining room and the master suite—he planted lavender among other flora. Blue-flowering jacarandas and orangeflowering silk oak trees are at the pool terrace. “We also planted wisteria vines on the piers of the pool pergola so the panicles can hang down from the wood beams,” Schwentker says. Elsewhere on the property are two large ponds and two stone waterfalls, conveying a sense of timelessness. It’s not only the romantic grounds that look timeless. In taking its cues from early vernacular forms as well as Gill, the home seems to transcend the years yet engenders a sense of comfort and ease. “This is a place for understated living that’s not lacking in elegance,” Pratt says. “It’s a place you can always have tea somewhere you’ve never had it before.”
For a home in Los Angeles by architects Dean L. Pratt and Hugh Huddleson, who blended Spanish Colonial and modern elements, designer Luis Ortega commissioned the artist known as Vadim to paint a frieze around the living room’s perimeter. Wood beams, terra-cotta tile and an Ebanista sconce lend texture to the room. Urns from Therien mark the passage to the entry.
Vintage Mexican hats hover above the custom fireplace from Exquisite Surfaces. A pair of sofas covered with Rose Tarlow Melrose House fabric contrasts with armchairs in pale yellow fabric by Romo from Thomas Lavin. All were fabricated by JJ Custom. The bases of the Dennis & Leen coffee tables relate to the iron chandelier by Paul Ferrante; the rug is from J.D. Staron.

MODERN MARVEL WITH A MASTERFUL RENOVATION, A TUDOR REVIVAL IN LA JOLLA GETS A CONTEMPORARY EDGE—AND HISTORIC DESIGNATION TO BOOT. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARYN MILLET
R
emodeling old houses is catnip for designer Kristin Lomauro-Boom. “It’s exciting to reinvent a home,” she says, so it goes without saying that she was thrilled to visit a vintage gem her clients had spotted in La Jolla. Built in 1928 by the architectural firm Webber, Staunton and Spaulding, the Tudor Revival abode “needed a lot of imagination. The house was compartmentalized, lots of doors and rooms, but,” she recalls, “I knew we could open it up and bring in an urban feel.” Architect Laura DuCharme Conboy, with whom LomauroBoom had worked on the clients’ previous home, did have a few reservations. “I was a bit skeptical at first,” she remembers. “The owners are tall and the ceilings were low.” And a semi-formal back entrance could be confused for the front of the house. While plenty of elements weren’t ideal for a present-day family, the fact that the home remained largely unchanged for nearly 100 years (with the exception of a few additions) and was designed in a distinctive style led DuCharme Conboy to propose tackling the renovation with historic designation in mind. Doing so meant the project had twin goals: Not only did the architect need to address the clients’ desire for a more open plan and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, she also needed to follow strict preservation guidelines that meant not modifying the exterior and ensuring that all additions reflected the original design and materials of the house without directly replicating them. (New elements should blend with but not masquerade as historic.) To address it all, DuCharme Conboy and Lomauro-Boom devised a plan to remove select interior walls (“Suddenly the house had adequate ventilation and natural light,” says DuCharme Conboy.) and to add a garage wing with upstairs guest space behind the house. The addition brought the home’s footprint into a C-shape, shielding the courtyard and letting the duo enhance the outdoor living area with a dining pavilion and a pool.
Designer Kristin Lomauro-Boom and architect Laura DuCharme Conboy renovated a 1928 home in La Jolla, skillfully merging old and new. In the family room is a Minotti sectional with Glant fabric from Kneedler-Fauchère. The eye-catching armchair is from MOS, and the lamp is Cisco Home. Adjacent is the kitchen’s dining area, featuring a table constructed from an existing piece and B&B Italia chairs from Diva Group.

A hallway at the top of the stairs leads from the home office, where a Lucca Antiques leather club chair stands, to the now-reconfigured master bedroom. The oak plank flooring is by Akovash Hardwoods.
Since the dining room is a pass-through en route to the kitchen and breakfast room, Lomauro-Boom’s goal was to keep the area simple. To that end, she designed a custom table consisting of a wood slab from The David Alan Collection and Lucite legs from California Acrylic Design. Surrounding it are Maxalto chairs from Diva Group.

A new outdoor dining pavilion includes a custom table that incorporates two segments of an old tree on the property that had to be felled. Fred Elliott Designs fabricated the table and built-in banquette. Lisa Davis Upholstery covered the cushions in a fabric by Link Outdoor.

To keep things cohesive in terms of materials, “The original house was the muse for the new one,” says DuCharme Conboy. Where brick had been used on the exterior, they brought it inside, as with the new brick that clads the master bedroom’s walls—“it creates a unity,” says the architect. Where original elements were lost, like the wood shingled roof, they found period replacements, like slate. And where they built new, primarily the garage wing and the dining pavilion, they opted for cast-inplace concrete as “a modern interpretation of solid-brick masonry—there’s a heaviness and permanence to it,” she continues. Such a complex project also required an especially knowledgeable builder. “We’ve been building modern architecture and doing historic restorations for over 20 years,” says general contractor Rich Gerace, “so when the opportunity presented itself to combine the two skill sets, it was a slam-dunk.” To give the interiors a fresh spin, Lomauro-Boom took a graphic approach, choosing a palette limited to brownishgray shades and vibrant whites. She paired white walls with white trim and dark walls with dark trim for “a more modern, European look,” she says. It’s a style she dubs “English Tudor-gone-urban industrial.” The aesthetic ideal manifests itself in the pairing of a carved-wood settle (retained by all previous owners, it is original to the house) with a minimalist Minotti sectional and the creation of an open kitchen so sleek it nearly disappears. “It’s about balance,” LomauroBoom explains. “Does it need to be understated or does it need to make a statement? There’s some math to it, some going back and forth, but I’m able to visualize things.” Lomauro-Boom and her clients traveled to L.A. several times to shop for furnishings but the designer also repurposed some of their existing pieces. In the master bedroom, she recovered their bed with mohair. “Sometimes it’s fun to reupholster in a totally opposite style so it’s unrecognizable,” she says. The master bathroom, carved out of an attic space, was given dormer windows (and ocean views) and a generous soaking tub—one of her clients’ first selections.
The interplay of old and new continues outside, where landscape architect Theresa Clark designed the courtyard as a transition between the historic and contemporary sections. “We treated it like the inside. It’s a very calculated, composed space,” she says. The courtyard needed to be functional and beautiful, so while the large bluestone pavers resemble interior flooring, no unattractive drains mar their beauty thanks to the clever use of slot drains installed at the joints. Though, Clark notes, “It was like a Swiss watch to engineer.” Plantings in a palette of chartreuse, burgundy and white enliven the gardens. Clark also added fragrant trees and native plantings, like an Engelmann oak. Delineating old and new, tropical plants are on
the historic side of the house, and more traditional selections, like olive trees, are on the contemporary side. As with any major design endeavor, collaboration was key, with Lomauro-Boom choosing the gardens’ furnishings and providing input on the materials. “This was a long project, so we really had to work together,” the designer says of the four-year enterprise. But it was worth it. Recently, San Diego’s Historical Resources Board granted the house, now a thoughtful merging of old and new, historic status. “It was helpful having certain rules,” says DuCharme Conboy. “Renovation is easier when you respect the character of the original house. There’s no reason to fear preservation.”
“We needed a very crisp, bright white to bounce light around,” says the designer of the hue chosen for the master bedroom. A mohairupholstered bed from Lee Industries anchors the space. At the foot is the clients’ tufted bench; beneath is a Niba Designs rug. Above is a light from Urban Archaeology. The windows throughout the home were supplied by Hope’s Windows and Doors.
Lomauro-Boom continued the contemporary styling in the light-filled master bathroom, a new area that DuCharme Conboy was able to carve out of an attic. The soaking tub is from ADM Bathroom with a Dornbracht filler. General contractor Rick Gerace oversaw the installation of the stained white-oak cabinetry and the marble countertop from Tutto Marmo.

UNCOMMON THREADS FOR A LOS ANGELES ARTIST, SEAMLESSLY MOVING AMONG MEDIA YIELDS A WIDE-RANGING CREATIVE PRACTICE. WRITTEN BY MIKKI BRAMMER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARIANNA JAMADI
LUXESOURCE.COM / 237

Artist Nike Schroeder works out of a studio in downtown Los Angeles (left). Her practice encompasses fiber work (shown below and bottom), embroidered pieces and paintings.
M
y hope is that my pieces make the viewer pause, take a deep breath and be still for a moment,” says artist Nike Schroeder. With a creative practice that comprises abstract mixed-media paintings, figurative embroidered work and vibrant fiber creations, there’s plenty to engage with—and to keep the German-born, Los Angeles-based artist engaged. The paths Schroeder takes to produce her work differ depending on the media and method. Drawing on an education that encouraged her to translate her emotions on to her canvases without a cognitive filter, the artist’s paintings and sewn work delicately balance passion and precision. “You don’t really have that much control when you sew because you don’t hold a pen in your hand,” she notes. “You move the canvas under a needle, which stays still. I thought that was a really interesting challenge— of transporting the idea of the moving line but moving the canvas instead of the pen.” In contrast, her fiber pieces made of rayon thread— arranged in color gradients—evolve differently. “They’re very calculated. I lay out the colors and sizes—it’s a mathematical process,” she shares. Schroeder’s sources of inspiration are varied. Her paintings are often driven by her exhibition
schedule, so she’ll conceive a group of pieces around a particular theme. Take the layered, abstract pieces from “Backspace/Delete,” her 2017 show at Walter Maciel Gallery. “When I walked around downtown Los Angeles, I found the way that people paint over graffiti so fascinating,” she says of the show’s genesis. “It’s this layer of people trying to match the color but not really caring—a patchwork of layered colors. There was such a mundane beauty in it that I wanted to bring that into the studio.” At first, she attempted to replicate photos of those walls in her paintings. Eventually, in a move reminiscent of the surfaces that initially inspired her, Schroeder began painting over what she had already done and adding elements such as cast concrete to evoke the materiality of the city itself. “The whole body of work became increasingly minimal and clean the more time I spent with it, because I kept erasing what was there,” she says. The play of light and nature figures heavily in her fiber work. Her first piece using the rayon thread gradient, 34°N 118°W, represents an abstraction of the moment the sun pierces the desert horizon at dawn. “I really love the fine hues of colors and bringing them together,” she says. “Sometimes I just take two completely opposite colors and then work out the path from one to the other. I like the challenge of making a smooth transition.” And, with all of her work, as much as Schroeder wants to engage her viewers on an aesthetic level, she’s also hoping to get them to go even deeper. “I want people to rethink the traditional usage of material in the fine arts and to question the limitations of these traditional boundaries,” she says. “Where does a painting begin and end? Where does the painting happen if it actually falls off the canvas? The greatest impact to me is to provoke questions, but also to provide a space of peace and stillness.”

Family STYLE MODERN TOUCHES BRING A FRESH LOOK TO A SANTA MONICA HOME INSPIRED BY ITS OWNERS’ PASSIONS. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAM FROST
A
Renaissance couple. That’s how designers Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl describe their clients—he, an aerospace engineer, she, an artist and creative director—who hired the pair to renovate their Tuscan-style Santa Monica home. And it’s the sophisticated and worldly inclinations of the duo that served as the driving inspiration for Wollack and Zwickl, who were tasked with updating the house while maintaining its European feel. “Our goal was to make it very artful,” says Zwickl. “We wanted a balance of interesting materials, design and texture.” In the living room this meant playing off the stone fireplace that exudes the old-world aesthetic the wife loves. So Wollack and Zwickl added classic touches such as an antique rug and the clients’ gracious grand piano, which, Wollack is quick to point out, doesn’t gather any dust. “They play that piano,” she says. “Nothing is just for show.” To kick the room up a notch and contribute a modern edge, the designers added a funky, angular light fixture plus steel-andglass doors and windows, which frame stunning views of the home’s lush landscape. Emphasizing the home’s indooroutdoor connection was also an important aspect of the concept and an olive tree placed in the corner of the room amplifies that feeling. “We always envisioned having a really beautiful tree inside,” muses Zwickl.

In the living room of a Santa Monica home, designers Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl set the stage for an inviting mix of old and new. The antique Sultanabad rug from Woven represents the wife’s love of a traditional aesthetic, while an angular Billy Cotton light fixture adds a modern edge. A leather BDDW chair and wood bench from DeKor impart an earthy feel.
The designers saw the dining room as another chance to usher in the outdoors, once again installing steel-andglass doors that open to the gardens. A live-edge dining table, vibrant green upholstery on the chairs and a feature wall that refers to the façade’s stonework links exterior to interior without sacrificing sophistication. “It’s definitely more formal,” observes Wollack. “They have formal dinners often, with friends and clients. Their goal was for the room to be used.” A cigar bar offers an additional spot for entertaining, albeit in a more casual way. “We wanted something a little bit masculine,” says Zwickl of the cigar area. Guests can also indulge in a wine room. “It was always an important part of the plan,” she adds. “The wife is a sommelier, and they’re very into food and wine.” For this reason, the kitchen was a big priority. “It originally had one long island,” says Zwickl. “We tore everything out.” The designers, who worked with project manager Michael Baker of New Mgmt. Design & Construction on the home, instead fashioned a pair of islands—one for work and one for dining. They chose a show-stopping brass hood as the centerpiece of the room and planned the rest of the space around it using painted cabinetry, stained wood and a backsplash in tile more textural than the standard subway variety. The steel-and-glass doors that enclose two sides of the adjacent breakfast room make for a sun-drenched space that feels like it exists outside rather than inside the house.
A custom limestone coffee table, custom sofa with Romo fabric from Thomas Lavin and armchairs from Orange suggest a laid-back, California feel in the living room. Expansive Euroline Steel Windows & Doors connect the space to the landscape.
In addition to crafting spaces for socializing, the designers also accommodated the husband’s professional requirements, creating a place where he could meet with clients. “It had to look good,” says Wollack, “but we had to be realistic about it being a working office.” Earthy yet urbane, “It’s the perfect backdrop for a rocket scientist’s work,” observes Wollack. Light wood, a stone fireplace and black leather chairs lend a masculine air without a “man cave” feel. (The office isn’t the only area in which the husband’s career played a role in the design: The children’s playroom is dedicated to learning, with a wall covered in scientific equations and diagrams.) Given the family’s active schedules, the designers considered it logical to imbue the master bedroom with a sense of tranquility. “We wanted to keep it really serene
and calm,” says Zwickl. “The whole concept keeps everything tonal and plays with texture.” Soft white, gray and beige allow the views outside to take precedence. “The grounds are playful without being overrun,” adds Wollack of the surrounding landscape, which includes spots for entertaining (complete with a pizza oven, barbecue and refrigerator) as well as solitude. “I call it the secret garden. Everywhere you turn there’s a new secret area. It really has all these private moments.” Ultimately, what Wollack and Zwickl provided was a place that celebrated the family and their passions, while remaining faithful to the beauty of the home’s architecture and grounds. “We wanted to keep the vibe of the old-world house and give it some TLC,” says Wollack. “Everything that was done was very personal to the family.”
To separate the breakfast room from the adjacent kitchen, the designers opted to have the flooring from Perfec Floors laid in a herringbone pattern. A woven Palecek light fixture hangs above the custom table and chairs with woven-leather backs by Casamidy.

Opposite: Wollack and Zwickl found another opportunity to bring the outdoors in when creating the dining room. Referencing materials found inside and outside the home, they installed a stone feature wall. Gubi Beetle chairs from The Future Perfect, upholstered in a deep green Kravet fabric, surround a custom dining table. Below: Sheltered by lush plantings, a spot off the dining room, outfitted with a fire feature and comfortable seating, provides a cozy area to gather for after-dinner s’mores and relaxation.
An elevated seating area furnished with butterfly chairs and an additional fire feature overlooks the home and feels like a secret garden. One of the factors that most appealed to the clients about the property was the multiplicity of outdoor options.
