The infinite potential of a blank canvas. The reinvention of your favorite room. The home you hope to create. WE BELIEVE THE MOST PLEASING ENVIRONMENTS ARE A REFLECTION OF HUMAN DESIGN. THEY ARE A STUDY OF BALANCE, SYMMETRY AND PERFECT PROPORTIONS. WE RESPECT THE HIERARCHY AND IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE AND DÉCOR THAT CREATE HARMONY. IT’S A DISCIPLINE OF ADDITION THROUGH SUBTRACTION, WHERE LESS BECOMES MORE, AND CALM IS CREATED THROUGH CONTINUITY. THE RESULT IS A HOLISTIC DESIGN THAT IS STRONG YET SIMPLE. WE SUBSCRIBE TO LEONARDO DA VINCI’S PHILOSOPHY THAT “SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION.” OUR DESIGNERS PLACE YOU AT THE CENTER OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, WORKING TO REALIZE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR HOME, AND TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.

All you have to do is imagine. FOR AN APPOINTMENT, VISIT THE RH DESIGN ATELIER AT YOUR LOCAL GALLERY OR CONTACT US AT RH.COM/INTERIORDESIGN.

EDITOR’S LETTER

STYLE MATTERS

LX_COM10_EditorLetter.indd 84

I recently came upon this headline while scrolling online: FIVE EASY STEPS TO DEFINE YOUR HOME’S STYLE! Curiosity got the better of me, so I clicked and was served up five “looks” from which to discover my sense of self. A one-click approach to finding your style seems so, well, unimaginative. I’ve always subscribed to the belief that sartorial matters are personal and best left to marinate slowly over years, decades, a lifetime. This issue, like each one we publish, is populated with all manner of looks, attitudes and ideas (edited through our prism) and designed to spark creativity and expose you to a fresh inkling or new take on a deep-rooted idea. Here, we explore the age-old art form of portraiture, shine a spotlight on lighting that

ranges from Bauhaus-inspired to overtly maximalist, and report on tips and advice for entertaining at home. That’s our approach: to present viewpoints, designs and concepts with the hope that there’s an element or two for you to integrate and put your own spin on. Like people, the most interesting homes are layered, eclectic and unhurriedly evolved—never a quick click. From my house to yours, I wish you a season filled with beauty and enjoyed with those that you love.

The difference is Gaggenau. Creating flawless perfection can be a messy process. While our 400 series Combi-steam oven frees you to bake, braise, broil and steam, these freedoms can leave their mark inside the oven. Hence our unique, innovative cleaning system. Simply insert the cleaning cartridge and let the water do the work. The challenges others shy away from, we rise to. We introduced the Combi-steam oven to the private kitchen over 15 years ago - and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cleaning it.

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

BRADLEY NESBITT WEATHERLY If I could interview anyone, I would… Want to talk to Kate Middleton, off the record. Any time you have the opportunity to speak to someone whose life is in front of the lens, it’s always nice to have moments that are stripped away to meet the real person, know what makes them laugh, get insight into their quirks and see who they are outside of the public sphere. Favorite Luxe interview: I enjoyed the conversation I had with landscape architect Mario Nievera of Nievera Williams. It was so interesting to see how he thinks of grass as rugs and boxwoods as wallpaper. His entire approach to outdoor landscape is so relatable to interiors. What type of architecture inspires you the most? I’m a Southern girl, so I love both Greek Revival and Georgian styles. I can almost smell the magnolia when I see a Greek Revival house; it immediately takes me home. Words of wisdom: Never let fear determine your steps.

JESSICA KLEWICKI GLYNN Photographer / Palm Beach

What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that traditional methods of crafting furniture are making a comeback with many bespoke designers. I also enjoy when people repurpose antique hardware, including hinges, doorknobs and pulls. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love a marble-topped Saarinen dining table for my new breakfast room, some beautiful wall sconces for my bedroom (particularly Aerin’s black Charlton wall lights), and a redo of my pool area—something sleek yet traditional such as a bluestone pool deck. Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Growing up, all of my summers were spent at our family vacation home in Montauk. One day, while working the ticket booth at a movie theater in East Hampton, I was reading Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. A gentleman walked up and said, “So how do you like that book?” I told him I loved it, and he said, “Do you want me to sign it?” I looked up and it was Kurt Vonnegut. I still have the signed copy on my bookshelf.

LX_COM10_Contributors.indd 118

NICK JOHNSON Photographer / New York What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received? On my first day as a photo assistant, I worked on a shoot of Martha Stewart with the legendary architectural photographer Scott Frances. Afterward, I was telling Scott what a great day it was and he said, “As far as your career goes, you are what you shoot.” I Try to remember this to make sure I get the best shots possible. Whose work are you influenced by design-wise? Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of Consort Design and Estee Stanley. Their work is casual, comfortable and cool. I try to take what I can from them and incorporate it into my own house. Memorable Luxe assignment: While my assistant and I were shooting a Colorado house with amazing views, we heard a loud rustling behind us and saw a bear standing in the woods. We left so fast that we forgot the camera and had to get reinforcements to go back and get our equipment. The bear didn’t indulge us for any selfies, though.

PATRICK SORAN Writer / Denver Prized possessions: Since my husband and two dogs aren’t possessions, I would have to say my neoclassical console table built in Italy around 1850 (that I love more than I ought to), a pair of wood carvings of Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris that I bought in a shop on the banks of the Nile, and the little plaque I got in ninth grade for Best Creative Writing. What books have impacted you the most? First, William Zinsser’s On Writing Well. The author recommends that a writer get to the point, tell the story and then run to the nearest door. Right now, though, I’m obsessed with the symbolism of diamonds and radio signals in Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See. If not a writer, what you would be? A flâneur is a person who does nothing much but walk around hither and yon and enjoy what he sees. I’d flâneur in Paris, Manhattan and San Francisco, thank you very much. Then I’d have lunch.

ABOUT

FACE THE BEST PLACE FOR A PORTRAIT ISN’T HANGING IN A MUSEUM GALLERY—IT’S ON THE WALL IN YOUR HOME. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

From the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring to American Gothic, the collective fascination with portrait art goes back far beyond even the most famous examples of the genre: back to prehistoric times, in fact, where crude renderings of faces in profile have been discovered by archaeologists in cave dwellings and in the tombs of Egyptian and Chinese royalty. Few mediums have had such staying power. So, what’s with the fascination with faces? It’s simple: Much like the best writing, portraits are a way to explore our humanity—something that highlights all the ways in which we are different and all the ways in which we are the same. So, it’s no surprise that the introspective art form has been increasingly making its way into our homes, with portraits often acting as the stars of busy gallery walls and standalone displays alike. Here, Luxe rounds up some of our favorite local and international artists that are keeping the ages-old tradition alive and fresh with new interpretations and thrilling techniques.

GABRIEL SCHAMA

FAMILY PORTRAITS Who: From his studio in Oakland, California, artist Gabriel Schama’s powerful profiles and portraits are a cut above—literally. All of his pieces are either carefully excised by hand with an X-Acto knife or expertly produced with the help of his in-house assistant, a laser cutter he’s named Elsie. What: Schama’s work runs the gamut, from reimagined images from newspaper articles and album covers where he’s replaced the faces with boldly hued paper-cut explosions to classic profiles executed in wood with inner workings comprised of Elsie’s precisely stacked layers (as shown in the section opener). Why we love him: There’s something meditative about Schama’s work, like a complex wood weaving or a dizzying mandala brought to life. It’s hard to look away. gabrielschama.com

KEHINDE WILEY

SHANTAVIA BEALE II, 2012 Who: No one breaks down boundaries and flips the narrative quite like Brooklyn-based artist Kehinde Wiley, whose classically inspired oil paintings are made modern thanks to their subjects. What: Highly stylized and realistically rendered portraits in rich palettes depicting black and brown men and women from all over the world in poses influenced by the works of the old masters. Why we love him: There’s so much ground the historical portrait-painting tradition has yet to cover, and Wiley’s work is helping to narrow the distance between the genre’s myopic view of the past and the incredible diversity of our everyday reality— while simultaneously celebrating it. kehindewiley.com; skny.com

CAYCE ZAVAGLIA

GARRETT, 2011 Who: Artist Cayce Zavaglia had spent her career working on photo-realistic oil portraits, but when she became pregnant 15 years ago and had to forgo using the toxic chemicals required of the practice, she switched gears: relying on nontraditional embroidery techniques to capture her subjects. What: Large-scale embroidered portraits that may as well have been plucked from the studios of the old masters. One of these complex pieces can take Zavaglia anywhere from six weeks to six months to produce. Why we love her: Zavaglia is able to capture the depth and personality of her subjects—all friends and members of her family—in their direct and unwavering glances; plus, the softness of the embroidery thread and wool she uses brings added warmth to each beautiful visage. caycezavaglia.com

OUKALY Who: Spanish painter Oriol Angrill Jordà has taken two of art’s most celebrated and oft-studied subjects— landscapes and the human form—and merged them together in his signature watercolor series, titled Blendscapes. The result? Portraits that break all the rules in the best way possible. What: Jordà’s work feels like a dream within a dream, with everything from steep mountain ranges to serene lakeside scenes depicted across the side of a face or a cheek, like a window into what his subjects are thinking. Why we love him: Because Jordà brings one of our favorite platitudes to life in his portraits: People contain multitudes. It’s a beautiful sentiment depicted in works that are both realistic and deeply imaginative. oriolangrill.com

RADAR / CULTURE

Walking in the shoes of some of the characters powering through traumatic, complicated lives in our favorite television shows may sound less than ideal—we’re looking at you, The Affair’s tragedystricken protagonists Noah and Alison—but living in their homes? That’s another story. One look at the aforementioned Noah’s effortlessly cool Brooklyn brownstone or Alison’s cozy beachfront retreat in Montauk can make even (spoiler alert) taking the blame for vehicular homicide seem a little more palatable. Catching a glimpse into the well-appointed Red Keep in Game of Thrones, too, can make it hard not to root for Cersei Lannister; surely, if she were so evil, she wouldn’t have such great decorating taste? As on-demand television becomes more of a staple of home entertainment, the remote’s role has gone far beyond pausing, playing and fastforwarding—it’s turning the small screen into a veritable Pinterest board full of décor ideas for everything from living and dining rooms to artist studios and, well, even the White House.

WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

It all comes as no shock to Steve Arnold, the production designer behind the uncannily realistic presidential-inspired sets on the award-winning House of Cards. “You would be completely amazed to know about all the emails we get from everywhere on the planet—from Australia, Europe, the United States,” he says. “They want to know where we sourced the chaise lounge in such and such episode, the fabric on the sofa in another episode. They’ll ask about the smallest little details.” So, is it just that people are spending more time in their homes and in front of the television, or has the entertainment industry itself become more keen to its audience’s design-leaning proclivities? It’s hard to tell. But for people like Arnold and set decorator Beauchamp Fontaine— who’s responsible for the easy, breezy coastal interiors on the set of Grace and Frankie, as well as blockbuster hits like The Revenant and Now You See Me—they’re still designing with clients in mind; they just happen to be fictional and on a crazy-tight deadline (sets are often

conceptualized and completed in as little as 6-10 weeks). This real-person approach is what gives the sets their soul and lived-in layers, and likely, what makes the spaces resonate with viewers. Lily Tomlin’s artist studio in Grace and Frankie, for example, was a real labor of love for Fontaine. “For Lily’s character, Frankie, the studio is the one place that is really and truly hers,” she says. “It became her refuge. So, it was important to me that we get it right.” To make it look real, then, Fontaine tapped a local ceramicist to come in before filming and work on the potter’s wheel— saving his half-thrown pots, slip and slurry, adding to the dialogue without saying a word. “What we’re doing is a different kind of storytelling,” Fontaine says. “Interiors can tell as much of a story as the plot sometimes. It’s been incredible to see viewers really catching on to that.” Above: A still of Lily Tomlin’s art studio from the set of Grace and Frankie, designed by Beauchamp Fontaine for the show’s premiere season on Netflix.

RADAR / ITINERARY

WRITTEN BY JESSE BRATTER

It’s almost time for the art world to descend upon Miami once again for the much-anticipated Art Basel Miami Beach fair—for artists and collectors everywhere to come in droves to South Florida for several jam-packed days of VIP previews, international brand appearances and auxiliary shows throughout the city’s metropolitan areas and artistic enclaves. Offering an oasis of design,

art and community in the midst of all the organized chaos will be Jessica Acosta-Rubio, whose creative agency Design Pub collaborates with designers and like-minded brands on both a local and global level to curate exhibitions and pop-ups. This year, she’ll join forces with Lululemon to host H[OM BASE]L at a residence on the Venetian Islands; the project will explore the seven chakras

through various activation stations with the help of tabletop brand Comunione, jewelry designer Joanne Stone, and other creatives. And while we’re sure to see Acosta-Rubio behind more events happening between December 1 and 4, she let us in on some of her other must-see spots for those who love art and design just as much as she does. atdesignpub.com

EAT “Egot,” an exhibit of furniture by Nun and Office GA, was previously presented by Design Pub and Giovanni Beltran. Damien Hirst's Gone but not Forgotten (above) is on view at Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Soul Food: I’m a huge fan of Rene Gonzalez’s architectural work, and I love the indoor-outdoor Plant Food + Wine restaurant inside The Sacred Space Miami, a mixed-use facility he designed that focuses on wellness, education and community. From the restaurant to the outdoor area, this open yet private floor plan is so unique to Miami. It’s the perfect place to eat and drink while in a meeting or just occasionally with friends. The food and plating is absolutely gorgeous. thesacredspacemiami.com Feel Good: Paradigm Kitchen is a health-conscious restaurant concept in Miami Beach from the team at Jugofresh. I can’t take all the credit, but I loved helping them with some of their furniture selections from our favorite brand in Los Angeles, Bend Goods.

RADAR / ITINERARY Design Pub curates pop-up exhibitions like “#101ManMade” (shown here and center), a show that coincided with a previous Art Basel Miami Beach. At bottom is a look at the Plant Food + Wine restaurant at The Sacred Space Miami.

SHOP Plain and Simple: Good design should be accessible to everyone. And no one practices that philosophy more than the cotton T-shirt brand Neushop Miami, whose two main characteristics are function and quality. The simple yet meaningful ethos of Neushop is represented by the barebones quality of the historic downtown building in which it’s housed, and in the shop’s monthly design forums and events that are open to the public. neushop.com En Vogue: The Webster in South Beach is definitely my preferred place to shop. I love that they’ve preserved the look and feel of the Art Deco building, because the best part of the shopping experience is the contrast between the historic design and the new fashion trends they have inside. And the accessories selection there is on point: I’m a huge fan of Annelise Michelson jewelry; I adore the world of Olympia Le-Tan; and because we live in Miami, I always need to splurge on new sunglasses by Mykita. thewebster.us

EXPLORE Double Trouble: My favorite design duo in town is Jessica Martin and Deon Rubi, collectively known as Nun, who work out of Little Haiti. They’ve been part of our Design Pub exhibits for the past two years, with a focus on furniture design and objects, including collaborations with Jonathan Gonzalez of Office GA. They were also a part of the incredible show, Giovanni Beltran’s “Primitive Hut,” at Noguchi Breton in Miami earlier this year. deonrubi.com

Meet Market: I’m very excited about the Mexican designers who will be exhibiting in Miami during Comisaria Latina de Diseño, a design showcase of art, fashion and interiors by Latin American artisans in a bazaar-like setting. Check it out at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami hotel from December 1-4.

STAY Checking In: Faena Hotel Miami Beach is my new go-to spot to have fun among art and architecture. The design is just breathtaking, and the Faena Theater is like a dream. It’s so magical and whimsical that they call it a fantasyland, and they have a performance every weekend called C’est Rouge! that shouldn’t be missed. Every time I find myself at Faena, I always feel as if I’m inside of a movie. It’s like Wes Anderson meets Moulin Rouge. faena.com

Moore is More: The Moore Building houses a site-specific installation by Zaha Hadid that is definitely worth seeing. We’ll have a show there during the next big art and design invasion—Maison & Objet Americas in May—with lots of limited-edition works mainly by young talents from Miami and Latin America. bridgehouseevents.com

EXHIBIT PHOTOS: ERIKA BLANCO. PLANT FOOD

View Finder: I love walking around the Miami Design District and discovering new places. Alchemist has been one of my favorite finds. The fashion boutique has three locations, with this one focusing on fine jewelry. It’s again designed by Rene Gonzalez and has an unforgettable rose gold-mirrored façade, is surrounded by palm trees and lies diagonally to the Buckminster Fuller Fly’s Eye Dome sculpture. The whole area has changed tremendously—mounting exhibitions inside temporary spaces here over the last six years, I’ve seen it all. The Design District is the most ambitious project in Miami in terms of community building and outstanding design. I can’t wait for the opening of the new Institute of Contemporary Art, all of our summer rooftop parties and more restaurants to come. miamidesigndistrict.net

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

FINE PRINT THE CREATIVE WUNDERKIND BEHIND NEW YORK’S WALLCOVERING UPSTART, VOUTSA, GEORGE VENSON USHERS IN A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF DESIGN LOVERS WHO BELIEVE PATTERN MAKES PERFECT. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA / PORTRAIT BY CHRIS GLOAG

“No one can pronounce it,” says George Venson, with a laugh, in reference to the name of his devil-may-care design house, Voutsa—an abridged version of his father’s family’s pre-Ellis Island Greek surname. And while that might be mostly true (for the record, it’s | voot | - sä), it’s had no bearing whatsoever on the company’s rapid ascent. Venson’s bold, at times risqué, wallpapers almost instantly found their niche after Voutsa’s launch in 2013, and his devotees have hardly let phonetics get in the way of translating the brand’s whimsical prints into statementmaking backdrops for daring interiors. Voutsa’s painterly collections feature wild and fantastical illustrations—from giant watercolor lips and coral-grazing goldfish to elegant birds-of-paradise and Russian dancers in mid-waltz. They’re all fun and eye-catching, but if Voutsa’s nearly meteoric rise can be attributed to any one thing, it’s to Venson’s own sheer force of will: his aversion to trends and his selfprofessed interest in charting his own course. “I have no desire to make the typical, expected things,” he says. “I want everything I do to have a bit of a twist, something no one sees coming.” It seems obvious, then, that a year after his first wallpaper collection premiered to great success, the artist-turned-product designer was on to the next thing: a capsule fashion line—in collaboration with Paul Marlow, the couture mastermind behind the retired menswear collective Loden Dager—rendered from Voutsa’s most popular patterns, which he’s currently traveling to promote in a series of international pop-up shops, like his latest in London, at right. “When I first started working with Paul, I told him I wanted to create clothing that represented my ideal look—from head to toe,” Venson explains. “We did tunics and shirts and bandannas, focusing on well-made pieces with classic cuts that could fit different body types.” For Venson, though, it’s not just about outfitting a body or a room; it’s about capturing a lifestyle—regardless of if that life is being carried out in a New York City apartment or in the Oval Office (a name he drops when asked for his dream commission). “I have a wonderfully diverse base of people interested in the work I do at Voutsa,” he says. “Whether it’s one of my wallpapers getting selected for a high-end project by a big decorator or a printed scarf going home with someone in Wyoming, I love that each person can take away a piece of this fantasy world I’ve created.”

#INSTACRUSH @miami_type

WHO: Miami-based Luis Palencia, a Venezuelan graphic designer and self-described typography enthusiast, captures the visual culture of the city through its flickering neon and Art Deco-influenced building signage.

JOSHUA MILLER

A passionate filmmaker, Joshua Miller, the executive director and cofounder of Fort Lauderdale-based creative marketing agency C&I Studios, uses imagery to communicate big ideas for such clients as Sony, P&G and Coca-Cola. But lately, Miller has turned his attention closer to home with the goal of energizing the Fort Lauderdale art scene. From his warehousestyle FAT Village studio, Miller has collaborated on local transformative projects—such as the FAT Village monthly art walk—that feel more New York or L.A. than they do a South Florida beach town. Here, Miller dishes on his inspiration and what should be on your radar now. c-istudios.com Intriguing you now: For me, it’s always photographs. I’m a filmmaker at heart, but I don’t watch too many films because I like to let my ideas be my ideas. When I see a great photograph, I always wish that it moved; I wish I could press play on it. That usually inspires me to make something that has motion. Ones to watch: I really like local musician Abbey Loren. We recorded one of her singles in the studio, and it was just incredible. You’ll know who she is soon—she is really going places. I also love to watch my fellow business owners and photographers Justin Mein and Ian Dawson do their thing. Hidden gem: Check out Hardy Park Bistro by chef Philip Darmon. It’s so unique and a better experience than what I normally see here—the modest menu changes weekly to showcase seasonal ingredients.

146 / LUXESOURCE.COM

LX_MIA11_Scene.indd 146

WHY: If you think you’ve seen Miami, think again. Palencia’s feed is an homage to everyday messages that “nobody is seeing.” Follow the account for a typographic tour of the city. IN HIS WORDS: “Every detail counts when it comes to signage, from the geometry of its architecture to its typographic style. Some signs look amazing in neon, but sometimes a clean white wall with hand-painted lettering creates a beautiful piece. Sometimes the sign isn’t amazing but the building is, so that creates a great composition. The idea is to create a record of the culturally significant details that make Miami unique.”

TALKING SHOP WITH ALEX XAKOUSTIS & RAUL GUTIERREZ

ITALKRAFT

When did you open? We welcomed our first guests at 2900 NW 77th Ct. in Doral in 2011. Why Doral? It was a natural choice. The city has ample commercial space to host both our showroom and warehouses, and the designers are comfortable meeting with us here. Describe the space. We wanted a wide-open feel that would allow each product to shine and give our clients room to compare products and see the quality. We recently revamped the showroom and added 5,000 square feet to allow for more kitchens, bathrooms, closets and furniture. What makes Italkraft distinct? The showroom features top Italian brands— Aster Cucine, Binova, Cucine Lube, Falma Italia and Miton—at various price points, making it a one-stop shop for designers. Up next? We recently expanded into the South Florida hotel industry and completed work at East in Brickell City Centre. We’ve started installations at SLS Brickell and will start soon at Hyde Hotel & Residences in Miami. Our expansion plan also includes a new partnership with Italian furnishings manufacturer Poliform. italkraft.com

INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, MIAMI

“Miami is a nexus of cultures and influences, and the art scene has experienced dramatic growth in the past 10 to 15 years. There has been a shift in the cultural landscape as art institutions are spreading throughout the entire Miami-Dade region. With the opening of our permanent home in 2017, the ICA Miami will serve as the cultural anchor for the Design District and build on the creative synergy in the neighborhood. We are dedicated to bringing the most innovative talent to the Miami community and to

providing an international platform for contemporary artists at all stages in their careers. Looking at art is essential and, for me, supporting living artists is so important. Everyone should collect art, and you can start by visiting museums, galleries and open studios. Check out Versace Versace Versace, Gallery Diet in Little Haiti and Michael Jon & Alan on Miami Beach for three of Miami’s most sophisticated young contemporary galleries.” –ELLEN SALPETER, ICAMIAMI.ORG

CHECK IN OLD & NEW

Whether you’re visiting South Florida or you’re a local looking for a quick escape, book a stay at one of these properties— from a multimillion-dollar makeover to a new boutique retreat— for a vacation that’s rich in relaxation and style. Guests visiting the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island (3800 N. Ocean Dr.) will get a coastal welcome before stepping foot on the sand with the hotel’s $6.8-million facelift that spans from the entranceway—soaring wood-paneled columns and a fountain refinished in opalescent mosaic tiles grace the lobby—to the seaside-inspired guest rooms. For stunning views of Biscayne Bay in Miami, stay at the new ME Miami (1100 Biscayne Blvd.), below, which boasts a palette of cream and gray with bursts of gold and silver that reflect the hotel’s vibrant downtown personality. Fashion photographer Alberto Van Stokkum rounds out the design with a bespoke collection of artwork, and guests can soak in the city’s skyline from the 14th-floor terrace’s infinity pool. If a trip to Miami Beach is in order, check out Nautilus (1825 Collins Ave.), above; originally designed in the 1950s, Sixty Hotels restored the property with a contemporary elegance while preserving its legacy—think midcentury jet-set style with a sunken lobby bar, the landmark “Staircase to Nowhere” and shimmering metallic accents.

Topping the interiors are the can’t-be-beat balcony views showcasing the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Plus, when the moving trucks arrive in early 2018, 3550 South Ocean residents will receive a VIP welcome from neighboring Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa with access to the resort’s facilities. ddgpartners.com

9 a.m. Start in the Antique Row Art & Design District, one of the best secret spots for designers in the Palm Beaches. Have breakfast at City Diner, a classic vintage American restaurant filled with antique memorabilia. I love the create-your-own omelets, but the restaurant is known for its fluffy pancakes, homemade pies and cakes. 10 a.m. For shopping, go next door to The Nest Palm Beach, where you’ll find bold, beautiful designs. Then, visit Sean Rush Atelier for Sean’s classically based artwork and collection of treasures he curates from his travels. Check out his fabulous leather bags and vintage Louis Vuitton luggage. 11 a.m. Don’t leave Antique Row without stopping by Mecox for exotic plants, antique accessories and eclectic home furnishings. Take a stroll through the beautiful gardens in the back

of the store. Finally, check out Objects20c and its sister store, Palm Beach Modern Auctions, for amazing vintage furniture and art. 12 p.m. Head to historic Worth Avenue for a lunch of thin-crust pizza in the picturesque courtyard at Pizza Al Fresco. I usually go for the Star Pizza De La Chef of the day and a glass of wine. 2 p.m. While on Worth Avenue, stop at Island Company for beachy clothing made with lightweight fabrics, and enjoy a cocktail from the in-store rum locker while you shop. Also, don’t miss the Hermès store and its home collection. Next, pop into the Ralph Lauren showroom—the home department is on the second floor—and ask for Bridget. She always has champagne. 3 p.m. Spend some time in Roberta Roller Rabbit, where you’ll find soft duvet covers,

pillows, tunics and home pieces. The name was inspired by a fable of a magical rabbit that the owner, Roberta, found on a piece of discarded fabric in India. 4 p.m. Time for a little ocean therapy. Head to the southern tip of the avenue for a glimpse at the sapphire blue ocean. 5 p.m. For a refresh, sip cocktails at Buccan. Order the Buccan T, a handcrafted blend of Absolut, black tea, cranberry, citrus, basil and agave nectar. 6 p.m. Indulge in dinner at Buccan’s sister restaurant, Imoto. It boasts the freshest sushi, sashimi and Asian-fusion small plates. Try the Japanese snapper and lobster ceviche, as well as the Myschyf Sake-Tini.

Krista Watterworth knows the power of a relationship. “I like to feel connected to the product and the people who represent it,” says the Palm Beach Gardensbased interior designer, who is a familiar face on HGTV and has appeared on the Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible and DIY Network’s The Vanilla Ice Project. She recently took on a new venture, collaborating with New York-based TileBar on a collection of 1980s-inspired tiles—fun, pop culture-influenced geometric shapes (think patterned hearts, triangles and spiraling circles) that are rendered in sleek black and white, which add just the right amount of whimsy to a laundry room or kitchen backsplash. Luckily, Watterworth doesn’t have to travel far from home for inspiration. The designer scours the Palm Beaches for high-end luxury shops with a New York sensibility—some of her favorites include Island Home and Objects20c. Here, Watterworth shares with us her idea of the perfect day in Palm Beach for the artistically inclined. kristawatterworth.com

Founded in 1985, principals Todd Tragash and Isabel Saavedra Tragash have built STA Architectural Group into a diverse studio specializing in both Architecture and Interior Design. At STA the creative process begins by learning and listening. We get to know our clients and their lifestyles. From this we identify design opportunities and focus on the details that make a project unique. Design concepts evolve by answering a client’s needs with ideas and inspiration. Great design is about blending expressions rather than being restricted by a “style.” A project is always most dynamic

when it is a confluence of classic and contemporary - a true manifestation of a client’s past, present, and future. From inception to completion, our greatest motivation is that our clients feel inspired and uplifted by our work. It is knowing that people will build lives - businesses - memories in the spaces we craft for them. A project is never truly finished because it is a living thing – it is meant to grow with a person’s life and needs. Our client is our partner in every project and in the end, our greatest satisfaction is stepping back and seeing our clients enjoy both the journey and the destination.

PROJECT: The Acqualina Collection of Luxury Residences 1. Seamless architectural details are carefully composed to create a memorable Grand Salon. The soaring coffered ceiling is intersected by chevron-matched walnut portals, layered with decorative bronze grillwork, which frame works by Guy Dill and Nancy Lorenz. 2. Walls of vein-cut Greige Onyx compliment the cantilevered, floating vanity; guiding the eye Eastward. Framed in Romino Grey Marble, the experience shower of Her Master Bath is a portal out towards the spectacular Atlantic Ocean. 3. With its cantilevered, acrylic swimming pool hovering 650â&#x20AC;&#x2122; above Collins Avenue and its lush, planted walls flanked by bands of Travertine and Teak, the Sky Garden at Palazzo Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Oro reflects a vision for clean, tropical opulence. 4. A high contrast composition of architectural finishes and streamline millwork paired with a palette of tone on tone furnishings and accessories are woven seamlessly through the Kitchen, Breakfast Room and Family Room creating a casual sophistication. 5. A conceptual design for a sleek, contemporary penthouse; its Family Room takes advantage of spectacular views of Downtown Miami. A cantilevered fireplace and cubist light fixture anchor the space directing attention towards the adjacent sky garden.

KATIE KIME

ARTIST & DESIGNER KATIEKIME.COM

It’s rare that… The words “whimsical” and “architectural” can go together, but somehow, Rosie Li pulls it off. I’m a pretty big risk-taker in general. I tend to think that there are less “rules” in decorating than most others do. When I look at Bubbly I smile, because they really went for it, and to that I can relate. On trend: The piece is gold, layered and extravagant yet with a playful curvature. All of these elements are on trend, but especially the idea of pairing opposites: extravagance with function, playfulness with formality. When it comes to luxury design… It’s all in the details, but sometimes the details can often be painstaking and much easier to just forego. When a designer like Li has spent time on the finishing touches, you can easily spot the difference. The fixture against this backdrop… Is a marriage of two ideas: respect for the past and boldness for the future. It’s a delicate balance to strike, and here it’s done very well.

THE PIECE: Bubbly 08-Light Linear Chandelier THE DESIGNER: Rosie Li FIND IT: rosieli.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by soap bubbles and Newton’s law of universal gravitation, Brooklyn-based Rosie Li married maximalism with geometric elegance to create a stellar brass lighting system—a sculptural take on the traditional linear chandelier.

ABOVE THE FOLD THE PIECE: Origami Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: François Champsaur for Pouenat FIND IT: hollyhunt.com THE INSPIRATION: Calling on the ancient art of origami, François Champsaur’s angular brass table lamp explores the infinite possibilities offered by metal, with the sharp, decorative lines of the material clearly on display.

DAVID MONTALBA

ARCHITECT MONTALBAARCHITECTS.COM

François Champsaur’s work shows… A strong, consistent support of extremely high-quality design and unique craftsmanship. The folded metal planes and the focus of the light on the material’s surface feel very architectural and intentional. It reminds me of both contemporary sculpture and some of our own work: It’s rooted in the past with its cast fabrication, but its form suggests a contemporary relationship and progress. On trend: This particular finish feels timeless, possibly vintage or repurposed. Lately, there has been a push toward recycled, conscious fashion, so in that respect, this piece feels in line with the current zeitgeist of design. When it comes to luxury design… A bespoke piece, be it for clothing or interiors, always feels like more of a privilege than whatever massproduced product it’s up against. Playing a role in crafting what you wear, or how you live, is the ultimate in luxury. In composition: The sculptural qualities of the lamp are very elegant, giving it a sense of formality. The polished continuity of the fixture against the rough brick background really highlights its simplicity and clean lines. A strong contrast is visually engaging; this opposition inspires dialogue.

LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 160

CHRISTINA BRYANT TEXTILE MAVEN STFRANK.COM

Pelle’s use of form and material is… Enchanting. Their compositions come across as both deconstructed and refined—I love that apposition. I’m all about taking risks. This is an exceptionally whimsical sconce, and it has much more of an organic shape than I’m used to seeing from Pelle. In that way, I think it’s a risk well-taken. My line of work demonstrates… My love for—and belief in—the beauty of juxtaposing texture and shape. That same quality draws me to the Lure sconce. On trend: Lure’s mix of hard and soft, the sleek metallic with the organic cast flower, is a combination we’re seeing in fashion right now. That, along with the costume-like romance and femininity of the petals, makes this piece very much in style. The rustic, industrial backdrop… Contrasted against these delicate sconces accentuates their sensuality as well as their clean-lined hardware. The way the light is cast toward the flowers creates shadowy silhouettes that echo their shapes, which is really captivating.

LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 161

STEEL MAGNOLIAS THE PIECE: Lure Sconce THE DESIGNER: Pelle FIND IT: pelledesigns.com THE INSPIRATION: Enlisted for its structural strength yet technical delicacy, the magnolia served as the muse for Pelle’s Lure sconce. A suspended LED light, held by a slender brass arc, illuminates the fixture’s hand-sculpted cast-paper petals.

IN PLAIN SIGHT THE PIECE: Lumenariums in High and Low THE DESIGNER: John Pomp FIND IT: johnpomp.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by the idea of creating an environment for light to live, John Pomp captured the beauty of an illuminated cityscape contained within a pair of milky glass-crystal cloches.

LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 162

RYAN KORBAN

INTERIOR DESIGNER RYANKORBAN.COM

I like the artisanal feel of John Pomp’s work. He is a true craftsman, which is something I am attracted to as a designer. On trend: In a world where design is often over-saturated and everything tends to look the same, I think Pomp’s Lumenariums feel original. I’m constantly searching for pieces that are authentic, and this hits that note. Silhouette is… Often the most important aspect of lighting, and the sophistication of this particular piece is really in its silhouette. When it comes to luxury design… People love great pieces but don’t want their environment to feel too decorated. People are eager for statement items, but are not looking for a polished, matching ensemble. Rather, they want to mix and match; it’s a fresher perspective. In composition: I love the juxtaposition of the lights and the backdrop. It is that perfect combination of something custom and refined with something super undone that sparks emotion. I am always inspired by the intersection of product and environment. Opposites attract. And that could not be truer than in design. This kind of contrast makes people feel—not just see. It evokes emotion that cannot be replicated.

9/28/16 5:56 PM

GEO LOGIC THE PIECE: The Wrongski THE DESIGNER: Jean-Pascal Gauthier FIND IT: jeanpascalgauthier.com THE INSPIRATION: Here, a geometric mélange of acrylic, brass, mirror and glass keeps with the suspended and balanced mobile style of Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s portfolio, which is steadily influenced by the Bauhaus movement.

STEPHANIE VON WATZDORF CREATIVE DIRECTOR FIGUE.COM

Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s work reminds me of… The Russian Constructivism movement that started in 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin, along with sculptor Alexander Calder’s work—which I love. It resembles a mobile: I like the harmony of the shapes and the mix of the triangle with the big and small bulbs. I always look to interior design… For inspiration in my own work; both worlds complement each other. I look at proportions, colors, textures, fabrics and overall elegance. In terms of luxury design: For me, quality equates to luxury. Statement piece: Any piece that is unexpected and has an interesting balance and shape to it, like the Wrongski pendant, is a “statement piece” to me. The raw iron and textured background… Juxtaposed with the clean finished lines of this hanging sculptural light fixture is especially striking. I am always looking for the unexpected: Risk can create incredible beauty and harmony. Here, the fixture is set in a surrounding that is totally contrary to what one would assume. The vintage, rusty, antiqued background with the angular, clean metal and modern shape of the lighting fixture is an unexpected contrast.

ROCK STEADY THE PIECE: Sender One Side Lamp THE DESIGNER: Christina Zamora FIND IT: brave-matter.com THE INSPIRATION: Christina Zamora's decision to employ waxed brass to pierce a piece of variegated salt crystal creates a statement-making lamp that ditches convention for something altogether more refreshing.

GEORGE AUGUSTO CREATIVE DIRECTOR STAUD.CLOTHING

Brave Matter’s pieces are… Overtly midcentury and, at times, lean toward 1960s Pop art. In this particular piece… I like that the beauty comes from only two elements: the brass stem and a salt crystal light fixture. Making such a simple piece is deceptively difficult. The mix of materials is… A perfect balance between feminine and masculine. Luxury design used to be… Primarily based on price, but I think that’s changed. Today, it’s about being special and the combination of high and low: the ability to fuse a wide range of elements and include a piece with some emotion or nostalgia. On trend: The midcentury revival exploded in the late ’90s and hasn’t let up since. This fixture fits right in with that aesthetic. In composition: The juxtaposition of the raw environment makes you further appreciate the total refinement of the light fixture. Such a contrast allows you to see certain aspects of each aesthetic with a clarity that would otherwise not be possible.

THE MUST-SEE EVENT IN HOME FURNISHINGS Celebrating 107 years, High Point Market is the world’s largest and most important home furnishings trade show. Each spring and fall, more than 75,000 home furnishings professionals come to High Point to experience the products, trends and innovations—and meet the people—that are moving home fashion forward. We spoke with three leading interior designers to hear what they were looking forward to seeing at the Spring 2017 High Point Market and capture just some of the energy and excitement that make Market Week the fashion week of home furnishings.

Corey Damen Jenkins Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates, LLC “I’m excited to see some of the specific 2017 spring colors that were identified by the trend forecasters at Fashion Snoops—particularly the combination of Pantone 19-3921, Pantone 17-4911 and Pantone 15-309. Our firm is coincidentally building a home for one of our clients with these exact colors as the main palette of the first floor. Together they create a very fresh and vibrant color story, but it’s also sexy and sophisticated as well. I’m looking forward to pushing traditional boundaries with these hues. I also really appreciated what Jamie Drake had to say about how fashion and interior design are essentially in a symbiotic relationship. His statement, ‘Most of the rules can be broken if done with sophistication and style,’ should be printed on t-shirts and given out to clients.”

Kerrie Kelly Kerrie Kelly Design Lab “We are so inspired by the Old Havana and Cove trends that Fashion Snoops has forecast for the coming year. With our renewed access to the old-world elegance and excitement of Cuba and our constant desire to be near the coastline, these two color trends are paving the way for a much-anticipated shift in the design world. The Cove color trend speaks to us particularly because of our California roots. Every time we drive down the coast we are inspired by something new—waves breaking against the shore, a beachfront cafe or the laid-back style of our fellow Californians.”

Elissa Grayer Elissa Grayer Interior Design “I attend High Point Market to see and touch everything new in the industry. By being there twice a year I get to experience an incredible world of new products and absorb the talent and inspiration on display around me. I bring that enthusiasm back to my clients! Don’t forget to wear the most comfortable shoes and enjoy all the food and drink the showrooms provide.”

CLEVER DESIGN AND UNEXPECTED SOURCES OF INSPIRATION CONVERT THE HOME’S HARDEST-WORKING HUBS INTO GUEST-READY SPACES PRIMED FOR ENTERTAINING. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

Just like the best hostesses exude warmth and hospitality so, too, do standout spaces. A home that’s fit for entertaining should make handling a crowd look effortless, especially in its most hightraffic zones. Good flow, eye-catching finishes, high-performing appliances and, of course, comfort are fundamental factors in creating areas that invite crowds to linger. Whether it’s a kitchen built for sipping and socializing around a supersized island, or a powder room with enough pizzazz to make a lasting impression, your home’s busiest rooms should be ready to face the public at a moment’s notice. Here, a look at party-ready spaces and products that are as stylish as they are functional. 210 / LUXESOURCE.COM

RESTAURANT QUALITY SMITH HANES

The details-obsessed visionary behind the look of Atlanta’s hottest eateries, including The Optimist and Le Fat, is known for his warm, industrial aesthetic. For this handsome residential kitchen, designer Smith Hanes used reclaimed materials and earthy neutrals to create an atmosphere that feels both vintage and timeless. smithhanes.com

What can homeowners best learn from restaurant design? The most important thing is the lighting. The ideal plans incorporate multiple light sources on many surfaces, like under the open shelving and in the pantry. The goal is always to put people at ease and make them look and feel their best in their surroundings.

Definitely not for the clutter-prone, this showstopper pantry features custom-made steel-and-glass enclosures, playing off the materials used in the adjoining kitchen.

Describe your signature “soft industrial” look. We use materials that are characteristic of the industrial era, such as metal, glass and brick, to create a variety of textures. Pairing them with lighter colors, like cream, blush, pale gray or even, in this case, wood tones, helps to create a softer, warming effect.

PHOTO: ANDREW THOMAS LEE. STYLING: THOM DRIVER.

Share your vision for the space. The kitchen is meant to function as a place where a large family can gather, so we did an open plan with enough seating for 10 to 12 people. The client had a photo of a wall of cabinets made from old doors and windows; that was the inspiration for the glass pantry.

IN THE NAVY While a simmering pot is usually best kept out of sight from guests, you might want to make an exception for the new collaboration between venerable French cookware company Staub and Food 52. Sporting the on-trend combination of midnight blue with brass accents, the collection is a stylish addition to your stovetop repertoire. food52.com

In recent years, the wall space behind the stove has become the de rigueur place to make an artistic statement in the kitchen. Take the chevron backsplash from Nashville designer April Tomlin, for example, who created the Navajo-inspired design shown here out of MDF covered with fire-safe paint. “I was bored with traditionally used tile,” she says. Open shelves and a snowy white quartz countertop ensure all eyes are on her handiwork. apriltomlin.com

COOL RUNNINGS

DUTCH treat For this sophisticated kitchen, San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis found her muse in an unusual place: a Flemish still-life painting. A moody mix of materials, including steel-framed glass upper cabinets and a gray island topped with Belgian blue limestone, stand in stark contrast with white lower cabinets and a Calacatta Gold marble backsplash. Low-lighting creates ambience and intrigue—the perfect dinner party guests. nicolehollis.com

Ask any chef or caterer: An oversize refrigerator is the unsung hero of effortless entertaining. And with a tray that slides out to accommodate commercial-size sheet pans, the latest built-in model from Blue Star is both workhorse and eye candy— available in 750 customizable colors, including this deep indigo. Its interior is just as attractive as its exterior, thanks to a sleek stainless-steel lining, which makes it not only goodlooking, but better at insulating cold air, as well. bluestarcooking.com

Smoky Rose wallpaper by House of Hackney sets a charming tone for this Studio McGee-designed powder room. A Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. sconce and Kohler Purist faucet break up the high-contrast black-and-white scheme with warm, brass accents.

Just because it’s a half bath doesn’t mean it can’t be full of style. Small in square footage but big in personality, powder rooms are the perfect forum to express your individuality and design philosophy—after all, you’ve got a captive audience. One way to make an impression? Let a unique wallpaper guide the overall concept, as designer Shea McGee did in this Salt Lake City powder room. “I fell in love with the vintage vibe of this rose print, which inspired the classic feel of the bath as well as the more masculine black-and-white palette,” she says.

The vanity in this Kate Marker bath is accented by a single sconce and ceiling light from Visual Comfort & Co.; the mirror is by Mirror Image Home. In this bathroom by Estee Stanley, the large-scale Martinique wallpaper makes a bold statement.

ALL AT SEA

It’s always a cloudless day in this Palm Beach home office, designed by Rod Mickley, thanks to a pair of sun-kissed paintings by artist Isca Greenfield-Sanders—a perfect ode to the home’s scenic environs. 1 / Case Study: Highlight your favorite artist by featuring multiple works together. These Greenfield-Sanders pieces neatly mirror each other, doubling up on the artist’s distinctive style. 2 / Beyond Basic: White walls are great for showcasing your art collection, but pattern adds much-needed pop. For example, hanging these happy pool prints over striped Peter Fasano wallpaper gives the space an intriguing, unexpected turn. The trick? Use wide mattes to define your display space. 3 / Cozy Corner: Hang your art low, centering it with your furniture instead of with the wall at large; this creates a more layered, intimate setting (perfect for this family-friendly beachside escape). 4 / True Blue: Experiment with color by pulling your room’s palette from the featured artworks. Here, the paintings’ crystalline blues and hints of yellows are reflected in fun accent pillows and a Dash & Albert cotton rug.

ARTFUL APPETITE

THE DESIGN TEAM: Architecture / Cesar A. Molina, CMA Design Studio Inc. Interior Design / Marlene Murrah, Marlene Murrah Interiors Home Builder / Marc Angles, Angles Construction, Inc.

No need for conversation starters in this Jupiter dining room designed by Marlene Murrah; the space itself sets the perfect mood for entertainment thanks to a powerful assortment of statement-making art. 1 / Mixed Medium: Consider coupling works in diverse styles for a more collected feel, like this classic still life by 19th-century French artist Brunel de Neuville, at left, paired with an oversize Ilit Azoulay photographic collage. 2 / Frame of Mind: Ditch the traditional matte—which could dilute such a striking work—and instead choose a slim and unfussy white frame. The sliver of white still gives a crisp contrast for this contemporary Azoulay piece. 3 / Color Code: Hang your artwork over a textured backdrop for a step beyond basic gallery white walls. For example, this earthy linen wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries brings unpretentious ease to museum-quality works. 4 / Clear View: Don’t compromise the sightline to your art with clunky pendant lighting or an ornate chandelier. This simple, lantern-inspired light allows the art to remain responsible for providing the drama in the room while still adding quiet structural interest overhead.

ABSTRACT PLAY

THE DESIGN TEAM: Interior Design / Robert S. Brown and Todd D. Davis, Brown Davis Interiors, Inc.

Expect serious Art Basel envy when walking into this spectacular Miami Beach living room designed by Robert S. Brown and Todd D. Davis. Floor-to-ceiling sunlight gives these avant-garde artworks plenty of room to shine. 1 / Cross Genre: Don’t limit your collection to one medium: Consider coupling works from different styles together for a collected look, like this blend of dramatic art photography and towering abstract painting. 2 / Life Size: Barely there minimalist frames allow the high-drama pieces to enjoy the limelight, without detracting from the power of the art or the architecture. 3 / Perfect Pairing: Your furniture can be art, too, with sinuous silhouettes that feel inherently sculptural. These bookend Scala Luxury brass side tables and Frederick Weinberg lamps, for example, prove truly gallery-worthy. 4 / Front Seat: Provide a cozy spot for guests to stop and admire your pieces. This velvety custom borne designed by Brown and Davis makes an ideal perch for viewing at all angles.

OUR GUIDE TO BEING THE ULTIMATE HOST THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

BE OUR GUEST The calendar year may be winding down, but party season is just getting into gear. November and December bring an onslaught of invites, with champagne toasts, air kisses and general good cheer to follow. ’Tis the season to cast open one’s doors and welcome friends, family and acquaintances into the home. With that in mind, we tapped some of our favorite design and event experts for their advice. For instance, beautiful table settings, like the ones seen here, build a sense of anticipation and announce to guests that they are in for a magical evening. It’s just one of a dozen ways to create a gracious and festive mood. Read on for more in our first-ever Luxe report on entertaining.

When metalworker Xavier Pauchard created the prototype for the galvanized French bistro chair in the early 20th century, he intended the simple sheet-metal creation to be used in factories. One wonders what he might think of this new iteration of the classic form. Party-ready in chic brass and fine leather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come a long way from its humble origins. michelevarian.com

Hospitality begins at the front door; so, consider the foyer the cohost of your welcoming party, and style it accordingly. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to make a first impression than with a statement-making staircase. In this dramatic space, Los Angeles designer Betsy Burnham melded modern and Moroccan elements for maximum impact. In stark black and white, the mosaic tile stair risers are both sophisticated and playful. burnhamdesign.com

Select foliage with interesting movement and choose an unexpected vessel. Use flower specimens in a range of shapes, textures and colors: Building a palette that includes some darker moments helps create drama. Consider the existing architecture and dĂŠcor of the space that your arrangement will inhabit. The container, flower selections and arrangement size should always complement the interiors.

Good riddance to the days when the kitchen remained hidden from guests. Today, it’s more common for cookspaces to feature dazzling finishes meant for prime time, as in this downtown NYC loft designed by Jenny Wolf. With old-world herringbone wood floors, dark gray-stained cabinetry and open shelving, the effect is equal parts rustic and industrial. A generous island provides plenty of surface area for guests to congregate and graze. The shining star of the space, however, is the backsplash. “I love an antique mirror wall, and I thought it would be a great way to reflect some of the light from the three large casement windows on the opposite wall,” she says. “Not only does it make a beautiful backsplash, but it’s also surprisingly easy to clean.” jennywolfinteriors.com

PYRAMID SCHEME

Sideboards are often perfunctory pieces meant to quietly sit, well, on the sidelines. Not so for this stunner from Thatcher and Shannon Davis, the husband-and-wife duo behind design company Selamat. Inspired by pioneering Australian designer Florence Broadhurst’s Pyramids fabric, this hand-carved wood credenza is the perfect combination of Italian 1970s Brutalist geometry and Hollywood Regency glamour. selamatdesigns.com

ECLECTIC MIX

“Formal, but never fussy” could be the motto for this elegant dining room by Santa Monica, California-based interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks. “I like to put my own spin on a room this traditional to keep it from feeling too stuffy,” he says. While the detail-rich crown molding was already in place, Marks added wainscot and lacquered the walls deep blue to ground the space, which seamlessly blends old and new. A contemporary light fixture from David Weeks, an abstract screenprint by James Nares and a jewel-toned geometric rug add just the right amount of edge, and go a long way in creating this lush and layered look. jam-design.com

bedside manners

An overnight guest should feel completely at home and pampered at the same time. To that end, designer Blue Carreon follows a simple philosophy: “I like to put as much thought into guest bedrooms as I do for my own room,” he says. One look at his bedroom in Manila, and you can see why this is a winning approach. Dark gray paneled walls create a cocoon-like effect that’s ideal for slumber, while fresh flowers, a water carafe and plenty of reading material make great bedside companions. With a space this inviting, your guests may never want to leave. bluecarreonhome.com

LX_MIA11_HOM_GAA_20.indd 257

10/3/16 4:49 PM

hile many homes are handsome, wellcrafted or exquisitely furnished, only a rare few can be called enchanting. Such rarities epitomize more than design and craft, more than furniture and fabrics, more than merely opulent materials—they have an almost magical capacity to whisk our imaginations away to a different, more wonderful world. While many of those enthralling homes take us to a land and time of princes and princesses, this richly detailed house in Coral Gables carries us to a subtler place: a villa of the Roman Republic, perhaps—or more simply, the domain of an artistic Renaissance couple. No surprise there, for the owners—husband Carlos Gonzalez-Abreu and wife Ana Maria Alas—are like Renaissance masters, serving as the architects and interior designers of their home, while also helming the build and designing the landscape. Their favorite style? “We love historic Italian design,” Alas says, noting a special appreciation for Palladian architecture—that is, grand proportions with quieter yet just-as-lovely interior finishes and a refined level of domesticity. And while

Gonzalez-Abreu agrees that their training is classical, he also points to their tendency to reimagine, to combine in a unique way local history and context with a client’s interests and experiences—in this case their own. “We don’t clone,” he says. “We refresh.” What the pair have recreated is the concept of a Roman home, which presents a public, more formal face to the city and quite another within the privacy of its inner courtyard. “The house is a distilled Roman villa in a tropical context, full of light and air,” Gonzalez-Abreu says. For the street side, the couple sited the house behind a wall and pulled it back from its historic road by the width of a swath of Montgomery palm trees and an elongated driveway. Passersby see an exterior sheathed in custom-mixed stucco troweled onto solid masonry, a triangular Roman-inspired pediment organically rendered in Florida cypress announcing the entry, a central bay window that houses the children’s study carrels, and a roofline accented by deep eaves. “We wanted the house to feel palatial and Roman on the street side,” says Gonzalez-Abreu, “but the eaves respond to its Florida locale, keeping the bleaching sun and the pouring rain off of the walls.” Refreshing indeed.

Architects and owners Carlos Gonzalez-Abreu and Ana Maria Alas wanted to relieve the austere front wall facing the street, so they created a central bay window to add interest. A roofline of Spanish clay tiles from Masterpiece Tile Company outlines the sky.

The dramatic entry hall leads to the public spaces to the left, upstairs to the bedrooms, or straight to the courtyard through custom French doors from CGI Windows & Doors. Furnishings comprise a bench from Amy Perlin Antiques in New York, an 18thcentury Florentine mirror from Alhambra Antiques, and a demilune table from Urban Loft. Custom walnut paneling was crafted by Y&Y Wood Design, and oversize travertine flooring is from Keys Granite.

The owners designed custom corner sofas, upholstered by Le Jeune Upholstery, that split the living room into two conversation areas unified by a custom rug from ABC Carpet & Home. On one side, a mirror from Wilson Antiques and a painting by Enrique Campuzano overlook the setting, which includes an Andrew Martin armchair, a West Elm cocktail table and a console from Shabby Slips in New Orleans.

The courtyard side is something else entirely. The only way to describe the home’s façade here is to say it’s reminiscent of Michelangelo. A short history lesson: In 1523, the great sculptor created a library for Florence’s Medici family. The design took simple elements such as curved brackets and columns and exaggerated their size and proportions to create an emotional reaction. In similar fashion, this design duo scaled up a row of simple brackets and topped them with sturdy Tuscan columns. Where most courtyards aim for quiet serenity, this one has a definite wow factor. “We are very private people,” Gonzalez-Abreu says. “This is a stage for us and us alone.” It’s clear that the couple are as comfortable with interiors as with architecture. Still, they gave the personal project its due time. “We’ve been designing this house for many years,” says Alas. One might sketch out an idea while the other considered and commented on it. Then, the thought might get put aside for six months while the pair carried on raising kids and designing for others. In the meantime, they were buying pieces for themselves as they traveled the world shopping for clients. In Egypt they purchased the large clay pots now located at the end of the pool, and from Marrakesh they returned with an intricate tile mosaic representing, what else, a Roman citizen. “The house isn’t so much furnished as it is curated,” Gonzalez-Abreu says. “We wanted the interiors to feel rooted in history, but also fresh. All of our artifacts and vintage pieces are juxtaposed against very contemporary lighting, stainless-steel accents, and other modern elements.” The double-height entryway opens off the front drive and expands into the upper story, setting the tone for the enchanting aura felt throughout. The lower portion of the entry is paneled in walnut with a contemporary vertical LUXESOURCE.COM / 261

The public rooms on the main level are connected enfiladeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a French term denoting rooms opening into each other along one edge with a long view. Haisa tile flooring with a leather finish, from Marble Systems, connects these spaces.

pattern embracing a decidedly 21st-century steel-andwood-railed stairway. It’s the first in a long processional row of high-ceilinged rooms opening onto each other and out to the courtyard through individual pairs of French doors. Each room can be closed off from one another with interior doors that feature operable transoms, allowing breezes to sail through the house. Every space has its own character, yet they are all unified with a color-integrated, hand-troweled paint-and-plaster finish exuding a light, dusty blush tone. Gonzalez-Abreu and Alas worked with local craftsmen to achieve just the right effect by using several iterations of a lime-based paint applied with natural-hair brushes. Further, the walls were plastered with rounded corners to give the rooms the heft of Mediterranean masonry walls. Also connecting the main spaces is leather-finished flooring that stretches from the living room to the family room. “The living room is more

LX_MIA11_HOM_GAA_20.indd 265

like a lounge,” Alas says, with its pair of linen-upholstered corner sofas forming two conversation areas that mirror each other. Neoclassical demilune tables anchor each sofa’s end. Their paint finish contains hints of the teal-silver tones picked out in the hand-knotted rug—a freshening of a traditional South Florida color selection. The lime-hued fabric upholstering the adjacent dining room’s chairs brings the brightest, most on-trend color into the house. “It’s like a palate cleanser between two meal courses,” laughs Alas. To each side rises an oversize cabinet faced by 19th-century casement windows from Wilson Antiques, complete with original cremone-bolt hardware, that were salvaged from a house in France, stripped of their lead-based paint and meticulously fitted into their new home by woodworkers from Y&Y Wood Design. In the corners live the busts of two Roman generals acquired in Marrakesh.

On a sourcing trip to Marrakesh for a client, the owners purchased the mosaic of a rather disheveled Roman citizen. They stored it for years until they could create just the right place for it—in their breezeway near the pool.

Next comes the cozy family room with its cypress ceiling detail and contemporary built-ins, and at the end—as a kind of exclamation point—is the kitchen. “This is our Italian modern trattoria,” says Gonzalez-Abreu. The cabinets are walnut wood finished two different ways—darkened or bleached—with some doors trimmed in aluminum and others a mix of both aluminum and milky glass. “It’s like something you’d see in a scientific lab,” he continues. The idea was to break out of the serene repose of the other rooms with an exuberant display of materials and textures. “The kitchen is more about the rich tapestry of Venice than the cerebral theories of Rome,” GonzalezAbreu says. The master suite upstairs also has a sense of variety, as if valued pieces gathered from around the world

and through the decades have come together. A gilded iron chandelier lights the space with its rugged wood headboard, neoclassical sofa and casual side tables. Creating enchantment takes time. “This design was a decades-long process,” says Gonzalez-Abreu. The pair met in college, studied in Europe (him in Paris, her in Rome), married, started their own firm, traveled extensively, and raised a family while living in a small house built in 1936 situated on the rear of this lot. All the while, they were sketching ideas and setting aside wonderful pieces. What they finally created with all that knowledge and all those artifacts is a magical world where Rome meets Florida meets Michelangelo. Says Gonzalez-Abreu: “This house is a diary of our lives.”

WITH A DISCERNING EYE FOR ART AND A STRONG SENSE OF HISTORY AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCE, DAVID CASTILLO CURATES IDENTITY-DRIVEN EXHIBITIONS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES. WRITTEN BY MELISSA JACOBS / PHOTOGRAPHY BY SONYA REVELL

edicine was the plan for David Castillo, until he discovered an untapped passion for art while attending Yale University. “Before then, I had never considered art as a career path,” he says. “I hadn’t had the experience of seeing it as anything other than enjoyment.” The rest, as they say, is history. The math and science whiz and high school valedictorian has since earned multiple Ivy League degrees and studied Latin and history at the Angelicum in Rome. Now Castillo is an art dealer, curator and educator at his own 5,000-squarefoot gallery in Miami Beach. For a decade, the David Castillo Gallery was located in a dilapidated warehouse that Castillo renovated in Wynwood before he took the leap, relocating into Miami Beach’s storied 420 Lincoln Road building designed by Albert Anis in the 1940s.

“I’ve always wanted to be in a historic building,” he says, adding that the move proved to be a wise business decision, as well. “At the other location, we used to have 400 people visit the gallery for an exhibition opening but not one serious collector. Here, we may have only 70 people on opening night but three or four of them are buyers.” The history-rich Art Deco backdrop of the 420 building presents the ideal juxtaposition for Castillo’s contemporary offerings and is fundamental to his creed. “The building’s lobby murals were painted by Leo Birchansky, who fled Russia in 1922, and give me pause every time I look up, reminding me that human beings can still create beauty and progress in the midst of loss and pain,” he says. It’s this intersection of history and cultural experience that moves throughout the gallery. Castillo represents 22 artists ranging from emerging to mid-career to well-established,

David Castillo (shown above) has worked with artist Sanford Biggers for years. So it’s no surprise that a large tapestry by Biggers adorns one of Castillo’s office walls inside his Miami Beach gallery. The installation by Gardner Cole Miller (opposite) was on view this past summer in an exhibition curated by Danielle Damas.

“ALL THE ARTISTS I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH MAINTAIN CONCEPTS OF IDENTITY IN THEIR WORK, BE IT PERSONAL, CULTURAL OR HISTORICAL.”

and regardless of their medium, identity is the mutual element that brings them all together. “All the artists I have ever worked with maintain concepts of identity in their work, be it personal, cultural or historical. This notion of cultural identity manifests itself in how an artist interacts with the human subject,” says Castillo, who has also highlighted the varied works of late greats such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Louise Bourgeois, Jean Dubuffet and Wifredo Lam. Several high-profile exhibitions are on view at the gallery through the end of the year, including “tête-à-tête,” curated by Mickalene Thomas, which highlights works by Wangechi Mutu and Carrie Mae Weems, among others. The gallery will also have a presence at Art Basel Miami Beach’s main fair, with new works by Sanford Biggers and Xaviera Simmons. “Expect geometry and sensuality,” Castillo says. Just as the artists he represents dare to make a statement, so too does Castillo’s own personal sense of style. Some days, he can be seen sporting one of the 300 bow ties he’s collected from all over the world or donning his Alessandro Michele for Gucci shoes, with their blue insoles, patchwork and embroidery on the vamps, fabric and metal for the toe caps, and a flat blue bow on each throat line. It seems he’s found a way to take art seriously while still having the fun he’s always associated with it. “Whether it’s a pair of shoes or a work of art, I don’t look around endlessly,” Castillo says. “The quality of the piece becomes apparent very quickly to me and I just go for it.” 280 / LUXESOURCE.COM

The owner acquired the tapestry in the living room from the Otomi people, an indigenous group living in the Central Plateau region of Mexico. Seating includes a Holly Hunt sofa with a custom slipcover and custom club chairs in Chivasso fabric, all dressed by Le Jeune Upholstery. The custom lamp bases from Artistic Plus sport shades that were reupholstered in Kravet fabric.

pon leaving her life in Manhattan and the Hamptons, a lively New Yorker alighted in Miami with several suitcases and one dresser. “She was moving here because it was important to be close to her youngest daughter and her family,” says designer Laura Martzell. “She wanted a fresh start.” The owner found the quintessential Miami condo in a sleek elliptical-shaped building in Aventura with floorto-ceiling windows overlooking the Williams Island Marina and Biscayne Bay, complete with glass-railed balconies that further showcase the views. Though she indeed wanted the interiors to reflect her fresh start and her new home’s tropical environs, she still wanted to keep a bit of her beloved New York and life experiences on her mind. So, displayed throughout the apartment are cherished artworks from the owner’s travels to Europe, Indonesia, the Far East, and other faraway locales. “Folk art has always appealed to me. It’s whimsical and fun, and I’ve always been comforted by it,” she says, adding that she came to Florida after the loss of her eldest son and the ending of her marriage. “The wooden puppets at the entry foyer are called wayang golek, or wooden doll puppets. I acquired them on a trip to Java while visiting my son and daughter-in-law, who were living in Bali—they’re near and dear to my heart. They’re very old and very special.” Martzell put careful thought into the display of the artwork. She used a collar, for example, to showcase a piece of art the homeowner calls her “crazy quilt,” which Martzell mounted in a hallway. “Once, before Mother’s Day, I told my children— they were between ages 5 and 11 then—‘This is what Mommy would like for Mother’s Day,’” the owner recalls. “And to my surprise, I did get it.” She still has the copy of National Geographic from 1972 in which a photo of the very quilt being sewn by an elderly Appalachian artisan appears in a story about national treasures. Other prized works include etchings by her artist friend Carol Travers Lummus, with cheeky titles such as I Shall Succeed Despite My Advantages. To complement those tropical panoramas, creating a serene interior was a must when choosing the home’s color palette and furnishings. “The view is magnificent, so we didn’t want to compete too much with the outside,” says Martzell,

collaborating on the interiors with designer Jay Dick, who worked for her at the time of the project. “We wanted it to be tranquil and nurturing.” Martzell used a mostly neutral scheme in the common areas, including soft blue grasscloth wallcoverings, to cocoon and ground the spaces. “I love wallcoverings,” the homeowner says. “It just warms everything up and makes me happy. I even have it in my laundry room.” (And Martzell is quick to point out the inside of the owner’s closet, which is also clad in wallpaper.) But despite the residence’s neutral undertones (in the wallcoverings, flooring and fabrics in the main living spaces), the owner loves bold color and wanted a bit more of her favorite—blue—to appear throughout. A fan of vibrant hues herself, Martzell was happy to oblige. The first hit of saturated color can be seen right away on the doors in the elevator entry—home to those precious wooden puppets— which were done in a striking sapphire using watercolors, acrylics and resin over an aluminum base. “We had the custom painting done right on the doors themselves, so

that’s your introduction into the apartment,” Martzell says of Julia Alejandra Gentile’s artistry. “It’s killer!” Varying shades of blue appear again in the master bedroom. “The color under the bed’s canopy is stunning,” the designer says. “At night, the room is really tranquil. She’s got her books in there and a comfy chair. It’s like a girl cave.” While both embraced bold shots of color, Martzell had to gently nudge her client to approve one particular accent color in the guest room. “She told me that she loves chocolate brown,” Martzell says. “Well, I love orange. And she said, ‘No, no, no.’ I said, ‘Trust me.’ She did, and it’s fabulous!” In honor of the owner’s fresh start, nearly all the furnishings were newly purchased, and many were customdesigned. “When we first started looking, we found this wonderful chair with a rosewood-barrel back and arms, and the rosewood was just gorgeous,” the owner says. “I fell in love with it, and we went from there.” The rest of the furnishings reflect the owner’s love of mixing styles and eras. “There’s a classic Baker piece in her bedroom

On the sun-drenched terrace off the guest bedroom, a chair by Janus et Cie offers seating from which to enjoy the view and a gentle breeze. The citrusy side table is from Asian Accents of Palm Beach, and the planter is from Jay Scotts Manufacturing.

The bed canopy, headboard and draperies were fashioned by Curtain Call and Modern Day Upholstery using a floral Zimmer + Rohde fabric from Ammon Hickson. The bedside table and custom TV cabinet are both by Araujo Cabinets, with the cabinet upholstered by Modern Day Upholstery.

that came with her from New York,” Martzell says, “but we purchased an Art Deco end table for her living room.” As lovely as the building’s elliptical shape is, it presented challenges. “The draperies had to run on a curve, and they’re all automated,” Martzell says. “You really had to be on your game.” But, thanks to Peter O’Neill of Fine Line Contracting, the designer squared off certain rooms so furniture could be placed against the walls, and some ceilings were dropped to allow for new lighting. Martzell gave the owner a cool, clean kitchen and—since she loves to cook and entertain— paid close attention to function. Because the owner was downsizing from her expansive New York kitchen, for example, the designer found ways to add extra storage to the existing cabinetry, such as adding a drawer under the stove. Such details have made the owner’s transition to her next chapter seamless. Now settled in her new apartment, she says it feels truly her own. “When I went to college, my mother picked out absolutely everything down to the bedding. And being married, there was always someone else who was giving their input,” she says. “This time, I picked out everything, and I’m surrounded by things I adore. It’s a hoot, and I just love it.”

Designer Maite Granda conceived of a floating console by Paez Design, made of Peruvian cedar punctuated with a drawer of back-painted glass. A Melampo floor lamp by Artemide runs through the console, while the mirror and welcoming letters balance the composition.

rom skiing in the Swiss Alps to water sports in Key Biscayne, a relocation for a Chilean couple with three small children was a sea change. “They’re probably the most opposite places in the world,” says the husband about moving from Switzerland to Miami. The couple fell in love with a tropical modern house in Key Biscayne with architecture by Marta Zubillaga and Juan Jose Zubillaga of Zubillaga Design. The white-stucco home with horizontal planks of red cedar had them at hello due to the open interiors kept bright and airy with limestone and marble plus an abundance of windows. “The light,” the husband says, “is something we loved.”

LX_MIA11_HOM_Maite_12.indd 296

While in Miami on an overseas trip, the wife met with designer Maite Granda, whose style she had seen and liked online. For their interview, the homeowner brought along a photo book she created that essentially offered a roadmap to their family with profiles, likes, sports, and hobbies to navigate through the design. They immediately clicked, and Granda’s passion for designing children’s rooms was a value-added perk that the mother of three appreciated. “She painted a picture for me of each of the kids,” recalls Granda. “She said, ‘My boy is very creative—always building; he loves Legos. My oldest girl is very artistic— always dressing up in costumes, and she likes to sing. And the little one—we’re still discovering her personality.’”

Glass-and-stainless-steel railings that lead to the bedrooms on the second floor and a sun deck on the third level were designed to be modern and visually light. The bold red Pangen pendant is by FontanaArte, a re-edition of a 1961 design. The colorful folk art piece on the back wall is a Chilean telar weaving by Constanza Arentsel.

The designer and family communicated each week via Skype. At first, the couple planned to move most of their furniture from Switzerland. “We had some good Italian pieces,” the husband says. Still, Granda persuaded them to rethink that approach. “The style was dark—very different from what’s prevalent here, where it’s all about island living and natural, light tones. I suggested I do a presentation from scratch, and they loved it.” A big inspiration was the art they planned to bring—a large painting by Chilean artist Ignacio Gana as well as one of his bronze floor sculptures, and a colorful Chilean textile by Constanza Arentsel. The wife provided images and dimensions, and Granda was able to design around them. The colors in the painting—a whimsical scene with polo players and a carousel horse, for which she created a feature wall flanked by sandy limestone niches—inspired a beachy palette with white sofas and a white-lacquer coffee table accented by rich shades of blue in the patterned

LX_MIA11_HOM_Maite_12.indd 301

pillows, a pair of velvet ottomans and a fringed cashmere throw. Gana’s resin-and-oil bunny sculpture, Super Rayo, lends a playful golden touch. The couple’s rustic-modern dining table, however, proved to be a good fit in the open scheme, and Granda teamed it with modern chairs made of white leather and stainless-steel legs beneath a whimsical multi-glass bubble chandelier. The nearby kitchen is well-appointed with sleek cabinetry and a large island that awaits the children for their afternoon snack. Granda also created a comfortable adjacent family room area, again using varying shades of blue to unify the spaces, including a wallcovering by London-based contemporary Impressionist artist Jessica Zoob that creates a focal point. The hues are picked up in the blue-and-whitelacquer cocktail table, custom silk rug and pillows on a sofa that the couple brought from Switzerland, reimagined in creamy leather.

Above: The existing all-white Record Cucine kitchen by MiaCucina is punctuated with a striated gray laminate backing the island. Appliances are by SubZero and Wolf. The aquamarine L’Eau barstools by Calligaris nod to the ocean with ribbing that suggests the movement of water.

A linen wallcovering from Aestheticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Newcastle collection creates a quiet textural backdrop for the master bedroom. The HĂ¤stens bed is covered with crisp white linens and blue accents, taking cues from the custom blue-and-white rug. At the foot is a tufted-leather bench by Artefacto; the MiMo bedside tables are by Copeland Furniture. Dashes of red pop in the Excel lamps by Roll & Hill, an accent pillow and a coral motif on the ginger jar. Another sculpture by Gana perches on the built-in, white-lacquer custom desk.

It is Granda’s thoughtful details that put a personal stamp on the home. In the main entrance, for example, she custom-designed a floating cabinet crafted from Peruvian cedar with an opening for a lamp that goes right through it, offset by a tall mirror. “You can open the cabinet front, but it also has a drawer that you can use,” she says. Under the stairs, which divide the foyer and living and dining areas, she solved an awkward space with a series of boxes and shelving that display art and accessories. “There are pieces made by Indian artisans in Chile,” Granda says. “Before, guests would just walk through the space. Now you can admire the art—and the scenic view of the pool area. It’s unexpected.” Granda was indeed mindful of views to the outdoors, assuring that there is something beautiful to see at every turn. To that end, she raised the floor of the terrace off

A minimalist modern bathroom features walls and flooring sheathed in Carrara marble, with floor-to-ceiling smoky glass panels framing the shower. A warm wood floating cabinet is topped with a thick-profile quartz. The faucets are by Dornbracht and the shower fittings are by Hansgrohe.

Granda designed a covered terrace with a slatted roof topped with Plexiglas to protect the galleystyle outdoor kitchen from rain. Opposite the grill is built-in seating topped with Sunbrella cushions with storage inside. The balcony off the master bedroom suite on the second level overlooks the pool.

the living room with ipe decking, built a water feature, installed striking and inviting chair swings, and put up V-shaped trellises from which to hang orchids. In another space, she had an American oak tree planted, adding to existing oaks and palms. And she tweaked the rest of the landscaping with strategically placed zinc pots. Inside, Granda was sure to add green with a fiddle-leaf fig tree in the family room. But the husband’s biggest concern was the outdoors. “He loves to barbecue,” Granda says. So together with the owners, especially the wife, Granda designed an outdoor kitchen, complete with a built-in storage banquette and a tall backsplash and counter that would hide the grill from the living room view. For some shade, she mimicked the pitched roof line, designing a sloped, slatted ipe-wood ceiling topped with Plexiglas to provide shelter from the rain. Roberto Sampellegrini of Archt Design and Regosa Engineering Services oversaw the construction of the addition, and other changes Granda made during the

LX_MIA11_HOM_Maite_12.indd 305

project. A loggia provides extra entertainment space, and an electric cover helps make the pool safe for the children and their friends. When the family arrived from Europe, everything was in place, in true turnkey fashion—even the refrigerators were stocked with food. And not to leave the children out, Granda delivered on her promise. “At one point, Maite asked my wife to have the children draw their rooms as they imagined them,” the husband says. That translated to a nautical theme for the 10-year-old son, with a loft space for a “ship” and steering wheel; a room fit for a princess with a four-poster bed and wardrobe, dress-up space and a stage with a microphone for the 7-year-old daughter; and a pretty room to grow into with pastel tree decals on the wall and a built-in dollhouse with niche seating and shelving for the parents to read to their 2-year-old girl. “When the kids saw this come to life, it was very exciting,” the husband says. For Dad as well. The moment he laid eyes on his outdoor kitchen, he smiled and said: “This is my dream home.”

Open-weave furniture by Patricia Urquiola for Kettal suits the breezy loggia, including a Mesh sofa and woven Maia chairs. A coffee table, also by Kettal, joins the setting on a rug by Ralph Lauren Home. RH pendants hang over the outdoor kitchen beyond, and RH draperies lend a resort-like feel.

The most important aspect of any project is client satisfaction first and foremost. After that, the creation of unique, beautiful and luxurious spaces is what we strive to achieve.

IMPERIAL INTERIORS Founded to bring high-quality Italian furniture, lighting and accessories to the American market, Imperial Interiors is Miami’s official dealer for La Murrina, Roberto Cavalli and Gianfranco Ferré.

Given the caliber of its offering, it comes as no surprise to find sumptuous textures and exquisite vignettes at every turn within the showroom. A resource for designers and sophisticated homeowners alike, Imperial Interiors provides design and installation expertise. “We are thankful for the opportunity to work with all the talented designers and architects, as well as the residents, of Miami,” Vergun enthuses.

Working in a fast-growing city like Miami is very exciting.” A purveyor focused on superior quality above all else, Vergun strives continuously to understand exactly what characterizes an item or space as luxurious. Her definition speaks to the importance of customization. “It is the indulgence in and enjoyment of something of great comfort and ease,” she says. “Typically, it is defined as something that is not a necessity. It is more about an emotion or feeling one derives from an object or experience.” For this reason, Vergun and her team have mastered the art of eclecticism, creating pieces that please the individual design professional or homeowner for whom they are intended. As Vergun sees it, Imperial Interiors is about the relationship between design and the end user.

BBH DESIGN STUDIO Offering architectural, construction and interior design services, BBH Design Studio has made a name for itself through the one-stop shop approach it employs. Providing clients with both convenience and efficiency, principals Debbie Flicki, Hani Flicki and Sete Bassan strive to fulfill their holistic philosophy. “We have always understood architecture as the utmost expression of design and interior design as the element that brings the architect closer to the spaces he or she conceived,” Debbie says. Originally established in Venezuela, the Miami-based company continues to collaborate with clients internationally, in addition to its widespread national work. “We have been fortunate to have the best of a great variety of clients coming from all corners of the earth: Europe, North, Central and South America, the Middle East, Australia, etc.,” Hani says. “Since we are a multicultural group of designers and have traveled and lived in many countries and cultures, we can contact and work with diverse communities, which makes our work all the more interesting.

BLANCO FLOORING Miami-based Blanco Flooring has an unparalleled reputation for gathering products of the highest quality and offering them alongside top-notch customer service. Founded in 2001 by namesake, president and CEO Francisco Blanco, the stone and tile purveyor collaborates with residential and commercial clients alike. Inspired by one of his mother’s business contacts who worked in the flooring industry, Blanco began his work in the field with client satisfaction in mind. “The best feeling is when I see the plan materialized and the clients are happy with the result,” he says. “A successful project is one that meets the business requirements, is delivered and maintained on schedule and delivers the end product desired by the client.” A strong believer in the importance of investing in exceptional employees, Blanco points to the individuals with whom he works as his favorite part of the job. Encouraging each team member to voice their opinions and contribute their distinctive abilities, he fosters an environment in which creativity inspires unique combinations and applications of exquisite surface materials. As for his aesthetic preferences, Blanco says “high style with a Mediterranean or modern luxury influence” is his favorite with which to work, in part because such designs call for the use of high-end stones like marble. He elaborates on his concept of luxury, saying, “To me, it is simply the best of the best. The finest quality and exceeded expectations in any area. Luxury is exquisite and speaks to supreme taste. In regard to the service we provide, it is living without limits and being able to dedicate the time and skills necessary to an enjoyable and efficient project.”

INSPIRATION FOUND

NORTHERN PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

WE ARE COMMEMORATING THE YEAR’S BITTER MONTHS BY EMBRACING THE NATURAL MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SEASON. REMINISCENT OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS VISIBLE IN THE ARCTIC, THE PIECES FOUND ON THIS PAGE TOGETHER SHOW THAT STYLE MAKERS ARE TAKING THEIR CUES FROM THE WORLD’S GLACIAL LANDSCAPES AND CRAFTING ETHEREAL PRODUCTS THAT WILL REMAIN COOL WELL BEYOND WINTER’S LAST SNOWFALL.
