EDITOR’S LETTER

Pamela Jaccarino, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

PORTRAIT: JOSHUA MCHUGH.

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

hether their styles are historically referential or avant-garde, independent makers across the country offer a quality of design and innovation that stands on its own—one that speaks to a distinct spirit and pride of being locally produced and manufactured. These talents hail from different backgrounds and work within varying mediums, but share common ideals about craftmanship and artisanal values, which are redefining what it means to be American made.

Inspired by the great American woodworker, furniture maker and architect George Nakashima, Jonah Meyer designed Sawkille Co.’s Minna chair (left), Rainbow chair (right) and Orbit table (bottom left) with form and function in mind.

Growing up in rural Pennsylvania with parents who were both involved in the arts, Jonah Meyer was drawn to a profession involving artistry and craftsmanship. Surrounded by a traditional landscape and instilled with a hands-on approach during his childhood, Meyer found himself continually crafting something new and often practical. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1993, he moved to the Catskills, opened a studio—which later became Sawkille Co.—and began making chairs, a self-admitted obsession. “It was always something I did on the side, and I consider it the ultimate challenge,” says Meyer. “Chair mechanics should balance cool design and ergonomics.” Working primarily with wood out of his Kingston, New York, studio, his process is as uncomplicated as the raw materials he uses by steering clear of computer programs and opting to sketch ideas the old-fashioned way. Next, he works with whatever is available at his fingertips—often plywood— to make his prototypes. Multiply this practice by five or six until the designer believes he’s landed on something “equally artistic and comfortable.” Adding his own twist to distinctly American styles, Meyer hopes his designs capture something original that people will recognize as his own. “It can be tough to produce at this level in the United States,” he says. “So, it’s really exciting to know that people think we are doing something interesting.”

MISSOULA, MONTANA Since his childhood, the Montana landscape has influenced John Greytak’s life journey. As a boy taking breaks from working on his family’s farm during the summer months, he would explore and scour the surrounding lands rife with natural elements. Fast forward to when Greytak was decorating his Montana lodge, he accompanied his designer to Tucson’s gem and mineral show where his love for the craft was rekindled, and his passion for a larger artistic purpose brought about the birth of Studio Greytak. “In elevating

these minerals and geodes to take a prominent place in homes, people can further appreciate the beauty nature provides,” says Greytak. All rare materials are sourced from six continents and brought to Missoula, where his team curates each gem to incorporate into furniture, objets and jewelry. After local artisans craft the accompanying metal, wood and glass pieces, the components return to the studio where they are assembled into “functional art.” Greytak’s greatest source of pride: “We are crafting these heirloomquality pieces in Montana—one of the most beautiful and inspiring places in our country.”

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

HUDSON VALLEY, NEW YORK “To me, the tradition of hard work to create something beautiful without taking shortcuts defines what it means to be American made,” says lighting designer and fabricator Joseph Pagano. Pagano’s studio and workshop in Hudson Valley, New York, where every element of his lighting designs, including the pieces’ fittings and hardware, is made

in-house, poignantly speaks to that belief. Upon graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a degree in industrial design, Pagano moved to New York City and enrolled in a glassblowing class at The Experimental Glass Workshop, now known as UrbanGlass, and was immediately hooked. “The physicality of the material—the heat, the moving of the molten—and the endless possibilities really drew me in,” says the designer. Pagano’s latest

collection is influenced by the color, shapes and textures of nature, and his intention is to produce extraordinary lighting pieces that double as artwork. For the designer, years of experience has not only brought an advanced artistry of his craft and a full-scale workshop, but also a confidence in his creative instinct. “After 30 years, creativity flows out of me without interruption,” says Pagano. “There is no second guessing anymore; it is very rewarding.”

⊲ ESTUDIO PERSONA Emiliana Gonzalez and Jessie Young, the duo behind Estudio Persona, were only acquaintances when they lived in their home country of Uruguay. Little did they know that a move to the United States, both for their husbands’ work in film, would solidify their bond as creative compatriots. Gonzalez was originally trained as a product designer and Young as a conceptual artist, and after two years of working as interior designers together, the pair decided to morph their partnership into one that capitalized on both their disciplines and a shared passion for creating products. Informed by the brutalist architecture of its owners’ native country, Estudio Persona’s pieces are sculptural and muted in color, which helps to highlight the studio’s blending of raw and unexpected materials, such as metal and leather. Many of the local Los Angeles artisans that help fabricate Estudio Persona’s pieces are immigrants themselves, and this provides an enormous sense of satisfaction for Gonzalez and Young. “For us, it’s much bigger than just our work; it’s a human service,” says Young. “It’s amazing to produce products that support our local and diverse community.”

GOOD FOLK-INSPIRED DESIGN FLOURISHES IN TODAY’S DIGITALLY DRIVEN CULTURE. WRITTEN BY ALLISON MCCARTHY

Artisan. Small-batch. Handcrafted. From food to furniture, we’re intrigued by origin stories and desire a personal stamp on what we purchase. American folk art exemplifies these qualities; it’s emblematic of heritage and a homespun, handmade quality. Interestingly, in this hyper-fast age, we’re seeing its enduring design return to the scene. “The revival of American folk, just like the resurgence of the maker movement, is rooted in the desire for authenticity and story,” says Pamela Kelly, vice president of licensing and brand management for the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Artists and designers have been influenced by folk themes throughout the decades—from Picasso’s paintings inspired by African tribal masks and last year’s exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum in New York exploring quilts as living records of history to the recent partnership between Cassina and Calvin Klein. For the collaboration, Cassina debuted a limited run of its iconic Feltri chairs upholstered with heirloom Amish quilts. Raf Simons, the chief creative officer at Calvin Klein, refers to the chairs as a “cultural correspondence,” where modern design meets a symbol of American culture. Folk-inspired designs are not only a way to preserve traditions and cultures, but also a means to pause, reflect and reconnect to a slower, more intentional way of life in today’s fast-paced world.

larsentextiles.com

“People are taking the time to appreciate attention to detail, embrace the handmade, and honor the voices of American folk crafts,” says Rachel Doriss, design director of Pollack Studio. For its spring 2018 Undaunted Collection, Pollack partnered with Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art to create 11 fabrics inspired by pieces from the institution’s extensive textile archive. Each Undaunted pattern features original elements reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Text Message, for example, was inspired by 19th-century samplers used to practice embroidery. “Our take is a woven sampler with letters and motifs using weaving terms,” says Doriss. “From afar, it looks like a sample, but up close, there are hidden messages and even emojis.” Artist and designer Kiva Motnyk founded New York City’s Thompson Street Studio with a similar philosophy. Inspired by the tactile quality inherent in folk art, her modern application of traditional textile techniques—weaving, knitting, quilting—helps keep crafting traditions alive. “It’s inevitable in a technological society that people will return, from time to time, to what is personal and authentic,” she says. Excited to see the revival of folk-inspired design in homes imbued with a new energy and vision, Motnyk thinks it’s a natural way for artists to collaborate and share their cultural histories as creatives working in America. For his modern Americana-style interiors, Portland-based designer Max Humphrey pulls in folk-inspired elements to infuse personality into spaces using pottery, tramp art frames and quilts that lend character and context to otherwise neutral backdrops. “Folk has a broad appeal because people are inspired by things made by hand right here in America,” he says. “It’s timeless because it’s symbolic.” In a sense, folk-inspired design is a tool to communicate and preserve stories of craftspeople and communities from the past in a way that’s relevant to our current culture—and that never goes out of style.

HEATH CERAMICS AND SHERRILL MANUFACTURING TEAM UP BRINGING SOPHISTICATED FLATWARE TO THE TABLE.

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFFERY CROSS

There is something to be said for finding the right fit, especially when it comes to honoring a design brand’s legacy. So, when the Sausalito, California-based ceramics and home goods company Heath Ceramics was looking for an American manufacturer to round out its tabletop offerings with its first-ever flatware line, it discovered exactly who to turn to: Sherrill Manufacturing. “We have a deep affinity for companies with heritage and for those remaining when all others have gone elsewhere,” says Heath Ceramics co-owner Robin Petravic of Sherrill.

Sherrill, founded by Matt Roberts and Greg Owens in New York in 2005, is now the only flatware brand making its products in the United States—an enormous source of pride for its founders. “We grew up in this community,” Roberts says. “And we’re survivors.” Despite the nearly 3,000-miles between the two companies, “we walked hand-in-hand down the path together,” he remarks. The result is a five-piece cutlery collection called Muir, the first of three flatware designs by Heath Ceramics (the last two lines are set to launch later this year). The pieces—two forks, two spoons and a knife—honor both brands’ history and devotion to American craftsmanship by showcasing a timeless and humble design with smooth edges, elegant lines and a satisfying grip. Heath Ceramics and Sherrill challenged each other’s perceived limits of manufacturing and design, producing a collection that reflects its shared values and honest spirit committed to craft. “It’s not just about design—it’s also about respect for materials,” says Heath’s Studio Director Tung Chiang, who collaborated with Roberts on the collection. Through their partnership, Chiang learned of Sherrill’s nearly 20-step manufacturing process and the significance of a special tool: a tumbling

To create its new Muir flatware line, Heath Studio Director Tung Chiang first sketched the pieces and then carved wooden models, which Sherrill Manufacturing reproduced in metal (above). Historical designs and vintage flatware samples adorn a wall in Sherrill’s archive room (top).

mechanism built by the company that lends a distinct matte finish to the pieces. The Muir Collection, available in polished or tumbled finishes, was designed to accompany Heath Ceramics’ founder Edith Heath’s original Coupe dinnerware designs—another nod to an enduring legacy.

MORE THAN A FEW SOUTH FLORIDA FOOD HALLS FEATURE DESIGN AS ELEVATED AS THEIR CUISINE.

Italkraft, the luxury purveyor of custom Italian-designed solutions for kitchens, baths and closets, is broadening its foothold in Miami by launching a showroom in Wynwood (36 NW 29th St.) among the artsy neighborhood’s highend developments. The brand’s current hub in Doral (2900 NW 77th Court) is also tripling in size, featuring more interactive showcases for their bespoke creations and new complementary work spaces for design teams. Known as the go-to for elegant, hand-crafted bathroom accessories, Connecticut-based Labrazel heads to West Palm Beach with a special pop-up shop at Pioneer Linens (210 Clematis St.), a local mainstay for lavish bath items and bedding since 1912. Sourcing its wares from small artisanal workshops around the world, Labrazel also collaborates with noted designers on specialty collections, including a new spring line with Alexa Hampton. A stalwart in Boca Raton for more than 40 years, Brown’s Interior Design, now rebranded simply as Brown, has revamped its showroom (4501 N. Federal Highway). The new space features consultation areas and material displays, while interactive kiosk technology lets the team of designers guide clients through a variety of options to visualize potential schemes.

When New Orleans-based St. Roch Market opened a food hall in the Miami Design District (140 NE 39th St.), with a dozen chef-driven concepts representative of the city’s vast culinary scene, aesthetics were as top of mind as the food. The South Florida location features midcentury modern furnishings, marble counters, gold sconces and a freestanding bar in the center. While choosing from cuisines ranging from Israeli to Vietnamese, guests can enjoy rotating art exhibitions and a library containing 3,000 vintage art and design books (below). A celebration of Italy’s varied regions is the idea behind La Centrale (601 S. Miami Ave., shown above), a 40,000-square-foot Italian food hall that spans three floors in downtown Miami’s Brickell City Centre. Blonde wood, light brick and stainless steel reign on the ground level where a half-dozen counters offer quick meals and a pair of casual eateries serve pizza, pasta, burgers and beer. At the very top, a softly lit area lined with floorto-ceiling shelves holds thousands of wines and spirits while a bright, professionally equipped cooking studio stands ready for culinary demonstrations and classes by master chefs. Newly opened in Miami Beach earlier this year, the Arquitectonicadesigned Lincoln Eatery (723 Lincoln Lane N.) houses 14 fast-casual, artisan and grab-and-go concepts, a novel idea in the well-traveled Lincoln Road District. Nearby, at the long-awaited Time Out Market Miami (1601 Drexel Ave., Miami Beach), a multitude of hungry guests—there’s seating for 440— can tuck into treats from 17 of South Florida’s top eateries, sip cocktails created by award-winning mixologists, and check out on-site cooking demonstrations all while viewing works by emerging artists. 090 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Fort Lauderdale Beach can look forward to another glimmering addition to its skyline: the upcoming Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, slated for completion in 2020. A design dream team has been assembled for the 22-story luxury destination. Miami-based architect Kobi Karp created a nauticalinspired building resembling the elegant bow of a luxury cruise liner, complete with an oceanfront pool terrace and plush cabanas. Landscape architect Fernando Wong will cover a third of the property in palm trees and native plants. Inside, British interior designer Tara Bernerd reinterprets coastal living for the hotel’s 130 guest rooms and 90 private residences (both unfurnished and fully furnished offerings), with modern millwork and European midcentury-inspired furnishings. And designer Martin Brudnizki infuses classic yacht-club glamour into the hotel’s culinary attractions, which include interior and alfresco restaurants, lounges and an ocean-view outdoor cafe. fort525residences.com 092 / LUXESOURCE.COM

When you run a beloved Miami eatery and your patrons become obsessed with its tabletop accessories and bohemian decor, if you’re Anastasia Koutsioukis, you open a store. Mrs. Mandolin, her chic lifestyle boutique and café bordering the Miami Design District, perfectly embodies the beachy Mediterranean ambience she’s nurtured for a decade at Mandolin Aegean Bistro, which she cofounded with her husband, Ahmet Erkaya. Koutsioukis chatted with us about creating and curating the stylish shop. mrsmandolin.com

Describe the shop’s vibe. It’s part beach house, part souk—where the Mediterranean meets Miami. We aimed for a sense of coming home, where you can see all the items in their natural context. And in the same spirit of feeling transported that diners get at Mandolin, the store transports your home, your table and your wardrobe to the places we long to be. 094 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Why both a boutique and a café? I wanted to combine my years of experience in fashion and styling along with my role as the perennial host at Mandolin. Great design, food and fashion are all part of the look. What goodies can we expect? Unusual hand-crafted homewares, luxury resort wear and accessories, artisanal pantry items and healthy Aegean-inspired food all under one roof. Tell us your plans for this year. We’re expanding our online presence and launching a new café menu featuring more quick and easy savory options for lunch, like salads and mezes.

STAGED IN NATURAL SURROUNDINGS, THESE PIECES TRANSCEND FORM AND MEDIUM MAKING ART ACCESSIBLE OUTSIDE OF GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

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

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

Photographer, sculptor and land artist Robert Smithson was fascinated with the concept of landscape as art. Spiral Jetty, one of his most well-known works, is 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide, and composed of 7,000 tons of mud, salt crystals and basalt rocks. Constructed in 1970 and configured in a counterclockwise spiral in Great Salt Lake, Utah, Smithsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is still intact today. Seen here in a photograph taken by David Burdeny in 2017, this formation is an artful reminder of the significance of preservation in art and nature.

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

LLOYD FLANDERS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

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

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

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

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

SITTING PRETTY

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

How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych.

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

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

Ask the Expert What type of project or location would you love to take on or work in that you haven’t already? I have worked in South Florida, the Caribbean and Central and South America. I would very much enjoy working in Europe.

Orlando Comas, ASLA Landscape Architect ocomas@bellsouth.net License #LA-0001565 orlando-comas-asla.business.site

ORLANDO COMAS, ASLA

Three decades ago, landscape architect Orlando Comas’ talents were put to the test with a large hospitality project in South America. The luxury beachfront hotel’s objective was to feature landscape architecture prominently and even develop its own nursery—all of which Comas executed with the expertise of a trained landscape architect, the creativity of a true artist and the professionalism of an excellent listener and communicator. “I believe my greatest success has been the direct communication I have with my clients—the response I provide them in achieving their design goals and in the implementation phase, which is as important as the design phase,” he shares. Comas, who now focuses primarily on high-end residential work in South Florida, is entirely client-focused: so much, that a project with him might feel like equal parts friendship and creative partnership. “The more the client articulates their wants and wishes in a direct approach with me, the more I enjoy it. I truly value the connection with my clients,” he says. Comas’ portfolio is rich with lush, contemporary landscapes that encourage an outdoor lifestyle, but he believes he is not bound by a style or genre. “I wouldn’t say that I have a specific style. I am more into working with my clients to achieve an environment that fits their state of mind and their lifestyle,” he says.

Please name influences and inspirations that inform your work and approach to it. Many landscape architects and other architects have touched my work. Lawrence Halprin, Thomas Church, Roberto Burle Marx, Ian McHarg and Luis Barragán, to name a few. They have each contributed tremendously to landscape architecture design and, therefore, to my designs. What is the next move for your firm? We are successful and very content in the area of work in which we concentrate and do not foresee a change for now.

Straightforward, honest communication all the time is the key to having a good designer-client relationship. 1. The rear yard pool area was designed with a minimalist manicured approach, using only three types of plants and creating shade with the coconut palms. 2. Past the main gate, a private water garden is filled with tropical foliage. The large specimen inside the planter is a dioon palm from Mexico, with taller palms in the background and tropical foliage that appear to be growing out of the water. The black pond creates a reflective quality in the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface. 3. The main entrance to the residence gives a misty feeling at dusk. The illumination accents the plants and architectural details. The entrance is flanked by thick saw-cut natural stone, oolite, which is native to South Florida. 4. A front view of the modern Balinese residence shows complementing tropical landscape that includes large live oak trees, bamboo, copernicia palms and bromeliads in the foreground.

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

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE AND MARY ORE

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

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

With available coordinating pieces, such as garden benches and lounge and arm chairs, your outdoor living space will exude classic style and laid-back elegance. mecox.com

SPHERE of INFLUENCE

Drawing on materials long favored by architects as well as artists, including stainless steel, copper, bronze and stone, British sculptor David Harber creates dazzling artworks that react to and engage with their natural setting. Geometric pieces include Matrix (right), created from bronze hoops and inset with decorative plates of 23 3/4-karat gold. Dark Planet (far right) features an assemblage of hundreds of irregularly shaped puddle stones—“raw nature transformed to geometry,” the sculptor notes. davidharber.com

“A bench is a principal element to organize an outdoor space, making a garden into a room,” says McKinnon and Harris cofounder Anne Massie, who, with her brother, Will, turned to some of the company’s earliest designs, inspired by the Regency style, to create this Otey four-seater piece. The graceful diamond lattice back carries hints of chinoiserie, and the white hue offers a bright contrast to surrounding greenery. “There are so many ephemeral things in a garden, and a bench, like architecture, is the one thing that is unchanging,” says Will. mckinnonharris.com

WIT AND WHIMSY

PYRAMID POWER Inspired by an 18th-century folly in Yorkshire by English architect John Carr, known for his imposing Palladian structures, the Needle’s Eye rises from a pond at Winterthur’s entrance. Like the sandstone original—designed to settle a wager about whether the Second Marquess of Rockingham could drive his coach through the eye of a needle—the floating pyramid features an ogee door and is topped with a finial in the shape of an urn.

⊳ TURKISH DELIGHT The influence of the Turkish Empire on English decorative arts coincided with the fashion for follies, resulting in exotic structures such as this bright pink tent. Fabric with hand-stitched details and a block-print pattern encloses a cozy interior full of plush seating—the perfect shelter from rainfall during a ramble through the grounds. Winterthur’s original owner, the late collector and designer Henry Francis du Pont—who helped Jacqueline Kennedy renovate the White House—developed the gardens on the 1,000-acre estate in the early 20th century and incorporated various follies into his plans.

RUSTIC REFUGE ⊲ For a simple summer house, massive American beech stump pillars support a bundled beech twig roof, all from trees on the estate. Grapevine and bittersweet vine serve as rafters, while stacked slices of birch stumps form an appealing pattern on an interior wall. Inspired by a folly at The Royal Gardens at Highgrove, the retreat of Prince Charles, this wee picturesque structure is totally green.

Eccentric, exotic and fanciful architectural structures were all the rage in English and European landscaping in the 18th century. We celebrate this craze with a look at the glorious range of follies on display through January at the legendary Winterthur estate in Delaware. winterthur.org

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

TAKE shelter

In his first book, The Art of Outdoor Living, California-based landscape designer Scott Shrader showcases the bucolic grounds of 12 properties as extensions of the homes they surround. Shrader shares his tips for creating inviting alfresco spaces. shraderdesign.com What qualities should every outdoor area have? With seating, lighting and shelter, a garden can become another environment for living and entertaining. Typically, people feel most comfortable when they have some form of covering overhead, such as a steel trellis or a grid of old olive trees (shown above). Why is that? It is often overlooked as commonplace, but the much-needed shade produced by a tree’s branches provides its visitors with a sense of warmth and protection. Any specific tricks to share? Wherever there is seating, I make sure it faces a beautiful view.

THE LOOK / THE REPORT

To create the ultimate dramatic entrance, landscape architect Jarrod Ryan Baumann incorporated more than 2,800 succulents into a glorious vertical teak garden gate that opens to a Bay Area residence. The composition—an eye-catching arrangement of varietals in a range of shades and textures—blurs the line between nature and architecture in an innovative way. “Our designs tend to be very architectural,” notes Baumann, who used the gate to set the tone for the architecture and greenery within. “We see the landscape as both a structure and piece of land that we sculpt into something brilliant.” zeterre.com

9HOT seats

Believed to have been carried over from Buddhist garden tradition of using natural elements like tree stumps as seats, garden stools have been a part of the Chinese furniture tradition for 1,000 years. Handmade of ceramic using old-master finishes and techniques, the Durian Garden stool (right) and Magnolia stool (far right) are both hand-glazed and uniquely feature a range of decorative motifs like foo dogs, magnolia blooms and simulated nailheads. Not only do they provide great versatility as a side table or extra seating, but they also add that much-needed pop of color or texture to any interior or exterior space. dennisandleen.com

WONDER WALL

PASSION PROJECT

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

CLASSIC meets CONTEMPORARY TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS PARTNER WITH MODERN FEATURES IN A MIAMI FAMILYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEW FOREVER HOME. WRITTEN BY BLAKE MILLER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK JOHNSON

LUXESOURCE.COM / 179

or nearly three years, Carlos and Laura Silva searched for the perfect spot in Miami to construct their forever home. “We would literally go door to door and ask people if they were thinking of selling their house,” Laura recalls. “Eventually, I was so frustrated that I told Carlos, ‘Let’s just remodel our home and forget about building something new.’ ” One day, the Silvas returned to a residence they’d visited—only this time, they were greeted by a different person. “The man who opened the door said his mother had passed away three weeks ago, and the family wanted to sell the house quickly,” Laura says. “I explained to the gentleman I needed to pray for guidance before making a decision. Once I told him that, he said he knew we were meant to knock on his door that day.” The man agreed to sell the couple the property, finally ending their search. While in accord regarding the neighborhood, the Silvas were slightly at odds about the style of their new abode. “Our previous home was very traditional, and I wanted more of a relaxed, modern design this time,” Laura says. “I wanted it to feel warm and cozy but sophisticated.” Carlos, however, loves classic looks. That’s where interior designer Bea Pila came in, pulling together an aesthetic that satisfies both preferences by defining the home’s mood, rather than its style. “When I meet with clients, the first thing I ask them to do is write down words that describe how they want to feel in their home,” she says. “Laura and Carlos told me ‘comfortable, relaxed and elegant,’ so every design choice I made referred to those words.” Influenced by their travels overseas, the Silvas’ new home is a modern interpretation of a European château. “Although their residence is inspired by a traditional French estate, it’s not as heavily ornamented,” explains architect Antonio E. Rodriguez, who simplified elements such as exterior handrails and scroll details. “The lines are clean and classic, versus overly ornate.” Carlos, meanwhile, took a large role in the construction of the project and oversaw the expansive

home’s completion. The resulting structure encompasses a wine cellar, a cigar room and a chapel, while the grounds also contain a pavilion for entertaining as well as a tennis court, a pool and a soccer field for the couple’s young children. Inside, Pila addressed the classic-contemporary dichotomy from the beginning. The grand two-story foyer displays a barreled gold-leaf ceiling, a pair of French armchairs and a trio of Venetian chandeliers along with limestone flooring, modern sconces and an edgy marble console table set against a mirrored wall. The entry leads to a Pila-created lounge reminiscent of one found in a hotel, complete with a bar, a fireplace and a piano. “In every home I create, no matter how big or small, everybody ends up in the kitchen when they’re entertaining,” she says. “The only way to stop that from happening is to produce another environment that’s just as enticing.” To that end, the interior designer fashioned a variety of conversation areas by grouping armchairs around a coffee table near the fireplace and pairing barstools with occasional tables along the glass doors to the loggia. Traditional wood beams line the ceiling, while contemporary porcelain wood tile in a chevron pattern surrounds the fireplace. “We also added bronze mirrored mosaic tiles that were stripped down and embedded into the porcelain, which instantly modernizes it and offers some sparkle,” Pila says. The room establishes the home’s cool palette of taupe, ecru, white, silver and navy. “This space is so inviting and comfortable that you want to be in there for hours, having drinks with friends by the fireplace or piano,” the interior designer says. On the other side of the bar, the family room provides an additional gathering place with a navy sectional and blue swivel armchairs arranged around marble coffee tables. Bits of color come from the orange sofa pillows and the red-and-tan painting by Antonio Guerrero—one of the many pieces by Cuban artists Pila sourced in honor of the couple’s heritage. “Artwork is so personal, so this was a challenge,” she admits, adding that Laura prefers abstract themes while Carlos does not. “But we were able to find some really beautiful pieces they both loved.” The room connects to the spacious white kitchen where an oversize quartzite-topped island dominates, dark wooden beams decorate the ceiling and Calacatta Gold marble forms the backsplash. Down the hall, a staircase leads to the master suite, a grand space rendered in champagne and ivory. Pila arranged a cozy sofa and armchair near a large tufted ottoman in the sitting area and set an elegant, feminine tone for the sleeping quarters with a French-style bed. “Even though Laura wanted a modern look for the home, she was still drawn to the soft lines of French traditional,” the interior designer explains. A Romo wallcovering surrounds the room, and velvet-trimmed sheer draperies frame doors to a terrace. The journey to their forever home may have taken years, but the Silvas are grateful to have a new dwelling that is at once relaxed and refined. “Carlos and I sit on our terrace looking out over our beautiful backyard, and we feel so blessed we were able to do this,” Laura says.

A CHARMING RANCH-STYLE HOUSE IN KEY BISCAYNE IS A FRESH TAKE ON AN ECLECTIC LOOK. WRITTEN BY ROBYN WISE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARK ROSKAMS

LUXESOURCE.COM / 191

li Mejia was ready to downsize. The busy mother of two envisioned a charming home that was cozy but accommodating and included a killer outdoor space to enjoy with her daughters. Yet the midcentury Key Biscayne abode that husband-and-wife designers James and Miriam Duncan recommended was not exactly picture perfect. “It was literally sagging and unlivable, with mold and termites,” Ali recalls, “but the designers convinced me the basic footprint was worth saving. They were right.” Despite the 1959 structure’s dilapidated state, the Duncans saw potential, partly because it sat on “an unusually large piece of land for Key Biscayne,” Miriam points out about its 13,000 square feet. Strengthening this leap of faith for Ali was the fact the Duncans had designed two of her previous homes as well as retail spaces for her apparel company, Eberjey. “We’ve been friends for 14 years,” she says. “I trust them completely.” Thus began a year-long gutrenovation that would strip the residence to its essence and recreate it from scratch with an airier layout, a spectacular office and an addition to contain her daughters’ bedrooms. To begin, James recruited general contractor Fabio Cisternino to helm ambitious fixes that included transforming the exterior with stucco siding, installing new plumbing and removing the chimney near the living area. To open up the living spaces, he and his team tore out the low drywall ceilings, then added glossy white tongue-and-groove planks. “It was a time-consuming process,” Cisternino says, “but the volume gained and subtle detailing was worth it.” Walls were painted the same white and treated with a plaster finish and wood trim. And the original terrazzo flooring was replaced by polished concrete—a move essential to the home’s “warm and powerful energy,” Ali says. “It grounds everything.” Within the refurbished environment, the Duncans created interiors that embody their philosophy of “disciplined eclecticism,” a look James describes as “well-traveled and collected yet thoughtful and composed.” In fact, the couple’s own home in Key Biscayne—where their design ideas are on full display—was one of Ali’s inspirations. “She envisioned bright spaces like ours, with a relaxed beachy feel and a sense of casual luxury, to showcase her love of travel, textiles and art,” Miriam says.

an ideal backdrop for thoughtful elements that reflect Ali’s personality. For instance, “the custom bookcases in the living area were designed to highlight a favorite tapestry woven in jewel tones,” Miriam notes. Sexy surf photography in the master bedroom and a sculptural surfboard the Duncans made for the living area capture Ali’s passion for beach culture. The bright blue shade of the campaignstyle desk in her office—a room-sized closet, perfect for displaying her latest designs—matches her favorite pair of reading glasses. A fuchsia African headdress also strikes a vibrant note in the master bathroom, while the daughters’ new bedrooms were made personal with neon signs displaying affirmative phrases meaningful to them. “This house combines laid-back island style with a bohemian edge and statement art,” James says. A definite dainty streak mixed with bold pieces is also apparent. “Ali asked us to balance her feminine sensibility with a touch of masculinity,” Miriam says. So the dining area’s industrial concrete-topped table, for example, is surrounded by wicker-back chairs adorned with soft shearling. And angular light fixtures in the living area add a utilitarian note to the subtle glow of cove lighting in the ceiling. “We wanted a really beautiful, soft mood,” James says, “and the dimmer allows just the right balance.”

Adding to the interior’s eclectic mood was the special attention paid to texture. “Being a fashion designer, Ali is very sensitive to the way things feel,” Miriam says, noting the soft linens and organic cottons throughout the home. Rugs were purchased during a group trip to Morocco, where Ali fell in love with hand-cut tiles that now decorate the powder room and the master bathroom. Yet her favorite part of the house is the kitchen: Its poppy-seed blue cabinetry, commercial-grade appliances and wide pass-through window that facilitates alfresco dining are not only beautiful but also have sparked her interest in cooking. Outside, James designed the grounds with native dune grass, tall clusia hedges for privacy and tropical trees, including palm, papaya, banana and coconut. To grant Ali’s wish for more outdoor living space, he shrunk the pool, added a homey front porch and, in recognition of her Central American heritage, created a round Salvadoran-style palapa for gatherings. “A lot of work went into making this home look cool and effortless,” James says. It’s a fact that’s not lost on Ali. “My loungewear brand is all about relaxation at home,” she says, “so having a place where I can actually live the lifestyle I design for in my work is essential. Every choice we made in this house has been grounding for my creativity.”

In the backyard, a Serena & Lily umbrella offers shade to a lounge purchased through 1stdibs and outfitted with vintage pillows.

Jamie Young pendants cast soft light over the island’s engineered quartz Opustone countertops.

MIAMI BEACH ARTIST RUBEM ROBIERB CREATES MODERN WORKS WITH THOUGHT-PROVOKING MEANINGS. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER PFAFF SMITH / PHOTOGRAPHY BY SONYA REVELL

LL U U XX E S O U R C E . C O M / 2 0 3

rtist Rubem Robierb’s Miami Beach studio shows off glittery canvases, brightly colored spraypainted works and, notably, butterflies—both real and created, via paint or bronze. “I’m always trying to learn something new,” he explains. “I enjoy adding new mediums to my work.” Featuring simple icons such as a $100 bill or a heart, Robierb’s easily digestible pieces are more than they seem. “Pop art with soul,” is how he defines them, adding, “Pop art is happy, colorful and shiny, but I have a message, a deep meaning.” Born in Brazil, Robierb began his creative explorations as a teenaged poet. He picked up photography to illustrate a book of poems he had written, then established himself as a fashion photographer about 15 years ago. He landed in Miami nearly a decade ago and opened a fashion photography studio in Wynwood. The city’s artistic center soon proved contagious, however, and he began making works for himself, rather than clients. “My creative concept always begins with a word instead of an image,” Robierb says. “At that time, I wanted to talk about transformation. And what icon really represents transformation? The butterfly.” For his debut, the artist attached butterfly wings to a bullet, then photographed them on a painted canvas. His message: Like the species he had created, no one is 100 percent good or bad. “These are two opposite icons representing the same thing,” he says. “Together, they become a third icon as powerful as the two alone.” From there, Robierb began making silkscreens of his photography, eventually moving into freehand works and sculpture. Ever the poet, he still initiates his pieces with a word. “I’ll have one in my mind for weeks or months,” he says. “That drives me in a direction. The images I create are poems without words.” Besides inspiring words, Robierb’s artistic influences include Banksy and Andy Warhol because of their irony and social commentary. “Warhol elevated ordinary products like the Campbell’s Soup can as a way to criticize the consumer society we live in,” he says. Whatever Robierb may create next, it is sure to generate a response. “I hope my art can continue to help us see ourselves and allow people to find a comfortable place to have difficult conversations,” he says.

In his Miami Beach studio, artist Rubem Robierb creates colorful pieces that offer pointed social commentary. A view on emotions, his Love Hurts collection (opposite) presents a diamond-dusted heart shape filled with symbols.

here is no shortage of all-white high-rises in Miami. Some designers see them as perfect backdrops for seaside living, achromatic interiors that allow azure ocean waters to take center stage. But designer Andrea Chicharo felt the typical look wasn’t quite warm enough for the apartment she was asked to renovate for longtime clients from Brazil. The owners bought the residence before the building was erected and called upon Chicharo to review floor plans, which she modified for the family’s needs—creating six bedrooms instead of five, for instance. Even so, when the build-out was done, she recalls, “The owners didn’t like the finishes other than the marble in the master bathroom.” So the transformation continued, leading to an expansive space that achieves a sense of chic coziness through earthy tones and natural materials. The first thing to go was the plaster wall that enclosed the large entry hall. “The space was square and very bare, and we didn’t need such a big hall,” Chicharo explains. “I wanted to bring in light so it felt comfortable, not like you’re in a box.” She reduced the square footage of the space by one-third, thereby enlarging the nearby living area, and replaced the barrier with gracefully curved translucent glass balanced by touches of walnut. “I love mixing materials and combining handcrafted work with industrial work,” the designer says.

Carlos Cortes and his brother, builder Juan Cortes, fabricated a walnut front door and installed walnut paneling in the living area, connecting it to a marble wall. “Ensuring the glass, walnut and marble all joined smoothly and seamlessly was a challenge,” Carlos says. The paneling, while adding warmth, also cleverly disguises a door to the master suite, offering form and function. More wood appears underfoot via herringbone flooring the brothers meticulously installed throughout the apartment, ensuring the design flowed easily—“especially where rooms meet,” Juan notes. The pattern was essential to add detail to the open-plan areas, Chicharo says. “If we had something interesting on the floor, then rugs could anchor individual spaces,” she explains.

The designer’s strategy is evident in the airy living area, which is divided in two: an entertainment space marked by a brown leather sectional atop a gray rug near the walnut paneling, and a sitting area defined by a blue rug that matches the adjacent wall color. In both spaces, Chicharo mixed in various textures, including a cowhideupholstered sofa, leather pillows, a glass-and-metal coffee table, an oak bench and a chandelier made of steel cables that resembles a delicate mesh net. Between the two, she created an intimate dining area using a round ceramic table surrounded by steel-and-leather chairs. Mixed materials even show up in the clients’ art collection, which features works by prominent Brazilian and Portuguese artists. A hallway displays a sculpture

Chicharo divided the terrace into a private space for the master suite and a social area furnished with a Kettal sofa, armchairs, pillows and end tables. In the center are two Kudo coffee tables from Janus et Cie.

Greenery serves as the prominent art piece in the white marble master bathroom, where Ana Roma of Ana Roma Floral Design created a stunning floor-toceiling garden wall next to the shower. And the highlight of the serene gray-and-white master bedroom is a raised X pattern Chicharo created on the walls using

painted wood, introducing shadows and interest. “I love to use wallpaper with texture on walls,” she says. “It warms spaces and creates subtle contrast.” The master suite connects to a large terrace, which the designer partitioned into a private area for the couple and a social spot outfitted with a durable sofa, chairs and coffee tables. Despite its substantial size, the residence maintains an intimate feeling through its collection of eclectic materials and earthy tones—an extreme departure from its origins. “This apartment was white and huge,” Chicharo recalls. “I tried to create sensations that make people feel good, rather than lost in a vast space.”
