EDITOR’S LETTER

his January/February issue, our annual GOLD LIST, has long been devoted to celebrating diverse design talents from across the country. They are the dreamers and creators; each working in a distinctive style, yet collectively shaping our landscape and helping to define the idea of home. As part of our GOLD LIST 2019 survey, the architecture and design community weighed in on what’s piquing their interest lately. We share some of their thoughts inside this issue. Texas architect Michael Imber’s comments struck a particular chord: “There seems to be a seeking of what is ‘real’ occurring,” he observes. “We had the farm-to-table movement; we now have the city-to-farm movement, with young influencers moving to small towns and revitalizing communities. These cultural ‘outliers’ aren’t seeking change, but instead find a more enriching and meaningful experience connecting to the authenticity these towns have to offer; towns that have never lost their sense of community and the uniqueness of their different cultures and pasts. It is a movement away from the culture of sameness.”

MAKING WAVES

WITH UNEXPECTED BACKGROUNDS, THESE EMERGING DESIGNERS PROVE THERE’S NOTHING PREDICTABLE ABOUT THEIR CAREERS—OR STYLES.

FORBES + MASTERS

Atlanta | forbesmasters.com WHY WE LOVE THEM: The young duo behind this firm hit it off while working together on a commercial project and realized their combined skills—Tavia Forbes' business background and Monet Masters' design training—made the perfect match. Today, their firm delivers glam, edgy interiors with custom touches— think wall murals hand-painted by the designers themselves. ON THE HORIZON: Forbes and Masters are in the process of filming a television show, Design Demystified, focused on interiors for DIYers. They’re also heading south to work on a project in Barbados soon. IN THEIR WORDS: “Our personal design style can be summarized as ‘the element of surprise.’ It’s not a certain look or genre; it’s bold, moody, layered, textured, custom and fresh. We’ve been called ‘the masters of mood’ by default.”

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

COURTNEY MCLEOD ▲ BENJAMIN JOHNSTON

Houston | benjamin-johnston.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Trained architect Benjamin Johnston has traveled to more than 50 countries, informing his distinct blend of maximalism and minimalism. Architectural details and eclecticism define many of the spaces he designs. ON THE HORIZON: Johnston’s success is taking him beyond the U.S. He currently has projects throughout North America—from Mexico to Canada. IN HIS WORDS: “Inspiration comes from everywhere: the location and architecture of the project, the client’s style and their collections, and also, my treasured books featuring work from Billy Baldwin, Tony Duquette, Thomas Pheasant and Jean-Louis Deniot. I like to begin with immersing myself in a loose creative storm, and then I let the story crystallize from there.”

WHY WE LOVE HER: After working in real estate private equity for 15 years, Courtney McLeod left Wall Street to pursue her childhood dream of designing homes. Her background in finance provides a solid foundation for her practice, which prides itself on investing clients’ money wisely, while fashioning interiors with an edge. ON THE HORIZON: McLeod’s long list of projects for 2019 includes a Chelsea loft, a prewar apartment on West End Avenue, a pied-à-terre on the Brooklyn waterfront, a quaint 1880s-era Colonial in the Hudson Valley and a client’s vacation home in Antigua. IN HER WORDS: “My design style is rooted in the pursuit of joy. I utilize my kaleidoscopic toolbox of texture, color and pattern to create playfully elegant interiors.”

RADAR / NEW GUARD STEWART HORNER

Portland | pennyblackinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Stewart Horner was a design director at Nike until age 47 when he decided to reinvent himself and establish Penny Black Interiors. His projects are all unique—spanning styles from midcentury modern and very refined to rock star chic. For example, he may place a traditional wingback chair upholstered in a neon graffiti-like textile in an otherwise monochromatic room. ON THE HORIZON: In addition to creating a line of furniture and home goods, Horner is working on a remodel of a 1960s traditional ranch in the west hills of Portland and a 1940s Spanish cottage in Los Angeles—his first out-of-state project. IN HIS WORDS: “I have evolved my approach over the years from trying to deliver shock and awe to taking calculated risks. My hope is to surprise and delight my clients with a design that surpasses their needs while indulging them in a dream-like environment.”

GIN BRAVERMAN

Houston | gindesigngroup.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Gin Braverman had past lives as a hospital intern, production assistant, set designer, English teacher and industrial designer. It wasn’t until she worked on an HGTV home remodel show that she finally found her way to design. Braverman’s well-rounded background and willingness to take risks attracts a diverse set of clientele.

▼ ALIZEE BRION

WHY WE LOVE HER: An alum of Philippe Starck’s architecture firm, Paris-born Alizee Brion established her own firm in 2016. Her sophisticated style has caught the attention of an international set of clients who call on her to design the interiors of not only their homes, but also their yachts and, in one case, a castle in Tuscany.

ON THE HORIZON: Amidst the massive economic growth of her home city, Braverman’s team has a lot lined up for 2019, including the Cypress Circle Café at the Houston Zoo, a lakefront residence, a Hill Country boutique hotel and many projects in the culinary space.

ON THE HORIZON: Her biggest projects of the year are a 10,000-square-foot beachfront home on Fisher Island and an 82-foot catamaran that features a swimming pool on the front deck.

IN HER WORDS: “Our design is highly experiential. We try to make things fun and thoughtful by envisioning the end use of the space and all of the ‘Instagrammable’ moments throughout. We listen to the clients’ vision, then try to push them a little bit out of their comfort zone.”

IN HER WORDS: “I approach every design project first with pencil and paper. I find it is the quickest way to move around from plan to elevation to perspective—this is the way I explore the space in all dimensions.”

MIKEL WELCH

New York | mikelwelch.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Mikel Welch discovered his passion for design while walking through a shopping mall on his lunch break from a retail job. To get his start, he offered pro bono design services on Craigslist to build a portfolio. He is an accomplished set designer—most notably, for the Steve Harvey Show. He has also designed green rooms for the likes of Michelle Obama, Oprah, Joan Rivers and Halle Berry. ON THE HORIZON: In the spring, Welch will begin a new role as a featured designer on the second season of the Trading Spaces reboot on TLC. IN HIS WORDS: “I am a huge fan of aged and weathered objects paired with current design trends, so I coined my new design style as ‘primitive modern.’ I love to scour vintage shops looking for perfectly imperfect items, and typically, the more imperfections, the better.”

HOLLY HOLLENBECK

San Francisco | hsh-interiors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: After a brief detour in investment banking and consulting, Holly Hollenbeck followed her nose for vintage finds and showstopping lighting, into the design industry. The designer is a big proponent of using technology throughout the design process, utilizing three-dimensional renderings whenever possible. She recently opened a shop on Clement Street and an e-commerce site, representing 15 home design brands. ON THE HORIZON: Hollenbeck is working alongside Carney Logan Burke Architects on a new home in Wilson, Wyoming. Situated on 35 acres, the job entails developing plans for a main house, two guest homes and a party barn. IN HER WORDS: “Everything I see and do is grist for the creative mill. I am a voracious consumer of imagery from design, travel and fashion magazines, and I also keep a large library of inspirational books.”

CYNTHIA SPENCE

San Francisco | cynthiaspencedesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Cynthia Spence's designs feel layered and collected. Years of business experience in technology and entertainment inform her ability to seamlessly integrate technology into warm and natural spaces. ON THE HORIZON: Spence’s first two projects of 2019 are in Saratoga and Belmont, California. In the former, she designed the house almost entirely around a beautiful tree.

▲ HANNAH CROWELL

Nashville | crowellinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Trained photographer Hannah Crowell is a Nashville-native with country roots and a southern soul—her grandfather was Johnny Cash. Her quirky personality lends itself to creating unexpected moments in the spaces she designs, like the human anatomy model she has in her own home. ON THE HORIZON: Crowell is working with the Virgin Hotel in Nashville to design a private club, separate from the hotel, featuring an intimate, speakeasy vibe. She’s also renovating a sleepy 16-room motel on Anna Maria Island in Florida. IN HER WORDS: “For lack of a better description, I tend to call my style ‘modern bohemian.’ I love contemporary design and clean lines, but I also want spaces to be personal and lived in and full of character.”

ALEXANDRA KAEHLER Chicago | alexandrakaehler.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Alexandra Kaehler, a former advertising exec-turned-lifestyle blogger-turned-interior designer, has an affinity for the details and old bones of a home. She adds her contemporary spin to projects by giving them a feminine face-lift. ON THE HORIZON: Kaehler is renovating a 100-year-old residence in the suburbs of Chicago, a young, fun condo in Chicago and a beach house in Michigan. IN HER WORDS: “I love to combine old and new, masculine and feminine, round and square—opposites always attract.”

IN HER WORDS: “The Bay Area’s topography and seasonal climate allow us to draw inspiration based on the movements happening in our backyard. I like the art of mixing—it adds personality and a je ne sais quoi that truly brings out the clients’ ethos.”

▼ AIMEE WERTEPNY

Chicago | projectinteriors.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: As the leader of her self-described “design tribe,” Aimee Wertepny makes it her mission to shake things up and cultivate a new type of design firm. Grounded by a serious dedication to philanthropic work both locally and globally, Wertepny’s mantra is “make design matter.” ON THE HORIZON: Project Interiors is working on a collaboration with Marmol Radziner, a Los Angeles-based design-build practice led by architects, and a tiki-inspired home on Florida's Marco Island. The firm also plans to travel to Nepal in March to build a community school in a rural village with non-profit buildOn. IN HER WORDS: “My style is an organic, glam mash-up of tribal, deconstructed, fringed, textured and layered love. Mostly monochromatic and cleanlined interiors, laden with collectibles from travels abroad. I like using floor coverings as upholstery and vintage clothing as accent pillows—exploring ways to infuse the unexpected.”

LINDSAY CHAMBERS

Los Angeles | lindsaychambers.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Award-winning entrepreneur Lindsay Chambers holds a certificate from Stanford Business School’s Executive Program for Women Leaders. Her spaces are bathed in natural light and have a casual, approachable aura to them, while maintaining sophistication. ON THE HORIZON: Chambers is completing her largest project to date in 2019: the furnishings and interior and exterior architectural finishes for a 9,300-square-foot warm contemporary home complete with an indoor pool and a full private spa. IN HER WORDS: “I bring a San Francisco aesthetic— cultivated during the time my practice was based in Palo Alto—to Los Angeles, so my work ends up looking quite different than a lot of other design work I see in the area.”

JON DE LA CRUZ San Francisco | dlcid.com

WHY WE LOVE HIM: Firstgeneration American Jon de la Cruz studied marine biology in school, but shifted gears after a challenging chemistry class. Jobs at rigorous, traditional design firms provided him with a springboard to develop his own style, which leans toward bold, unexpected spaces, like the auto body shopturned-hit restaurant Che Fico. ON THE HORIZON: His firm is working on a number of ground-up projects in California and one in Hawaii, as well as a few restaurants throughout the country.

VANESSA ALEXANDER

Los Angeles | alexanderdb.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Vanessa Alexander’s background in the entertainment industry is quite apparent in her interiors, which are Hollywood-chic and glamorous. Visually, you can imagine her spaces being home to the coolest and edgiest of rock stars, artists and producers. ON THE HORIZON: The designer is working on a major restoration and remodel of a Mexican modern Ricardo Legorreta residence in Los Angeles, as well as home projects, creative spaces and restaurants in New York and Miami. IN HER WORDS: “Whether we are working in California, New York, Miami, or beyond, we reference the surroundings and generally seek to create a connection with an indoor-outdoor lifestyle and the beauty of the environment. Stylistically, regardless of the aesthetic that we are creating, there is inherently a modernity based on open spaces, great amounts of light and a flow from one room to the other, and to the outside.”

CHAMBERS PHOTO: ROGER DAVIES. DE LA CRUZ PHOTO: JOHN LEE PICTURES. ALEXANDER PHOTO: SHADE DEGGES. WERTEPNY PHOTO: CYNTHIA KIM.

IN HIS WORDS: “Many international design students come through the Bay Area and I actively recruit them as interns not only to help nurture their careers but to also expose my team to different points of view. Every person is unique; every home is unique. We can’t serve our clients if we all have the same background, training and point of view.”

he most fitting collaborations usually come together effortlessly. So, when Martin Grubman, vice president of P.E. Guerin, approached his longtime client, interior designer Charlotte Moss, a few years ago about working together on the hardware firm’s debut jewelry line, Moss agreed without hesitation. In addition to her penchant for wearing bold statement bracelets and cuffs, Moss has been an avid enthusiast of P.E. Guerin, incorporating the brand’s well-established door, window and cabinet hardware into many of her clients’ homes. “Some things you have to work really hard for and other things just come your way,” says Moss. “This was just one of those smooth collaborations, so it really wasn’t work. For me, this was all fun.” The Iconic Cuff Collection, which came to fruition in late 2017, began with Moss’ frequent trips to the P.E. Guerin showroom and foundry on Jane Street in New York, specifically the building’s Pattern Room. A historical treasure trove filled with inspiration, the archive space houses all of the master patterns and books used by the company since its inception in 1857. Moss scoured through hundreds of wooden boxes and drawers containing more than 50,000 patterns (a portion of which were brought from France pre-dating the company’s beginnings in the United States) to find pieces that spoke to her and the company’s history. “I kept narrowing them down until I ended up with six pieces that appealed to me—pieces I thought would make a

powerful statement adorned on a woman’s arm,” says the interior designer. Looking for a way to keep P.E. Guerin’s heritage front and center, Moss opted for classical motifs, some more than 10,000 years old, with each cuff highlighting certain historical periods. The Lyre features a neoclassical element relating to the golden lyre given to Orpheus by Apollo from Greek mythology. Another piece, the Dionysus cuff, was inspired by the Greek god of winemaking and symbolizes merriment and abundance. Made from cast-brass and plated in 24-karat gold, the collection is fabricated in P.E. Guerin’s foundry in the same fashion as the rest of the firm’s offerings: with a great amount of care and attention to detail. And while the process and craftsmanship are a long-standing tradition, this collaboration is certainly a new venture and perhaps just the tip of the jewelry iceberg. “P.E. Guerin has always made jewelry for the home,” says Moss. “And now for the person.”

FLUID FORMS

When gallerist and designer Ralph Pucci first met Paul Mathieu in the early ’90s he was immediately drawn to the sculptural aspect of the designer’s furniture and lighting pieces. “The style was very poetic,” says Pucci of Mathieu’s freeflowing, curvaceous forms. “You could see that it was the hand of an artist as opposed to the hand of a furniture designer or architect.” This same fluidity that Pucci describes is on full display in Still Motion, an exhibition of Mathieu’s latest work, which runs from January 28 through

PAUL MATHIEU’S LATEST FURNITURE AND LIGHTING TAKE CENTER STAGE AT RALPH PUCCI. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTOINE BOOTZ

May 1 at Ralph Pucci in New York. The showcase includes several tables, lamps, a console, a sofa and—perhaps most notably—a sculpture created by Mathieu’s father that the designer cast in bronze. All together, it is a display of voluptuous forms using a mix of bronze, plaster, and handcast and hand-beveled glass. “This is really going to be the story of what I call, ‘The Artist Paul Mathieu,’ ” says Pucci. “It’s going to show his path and his evolution.” That story begins with the sculpture by Mathieu’s father, which was originally made of wood before Mathieu cast it in bronze. “That piece most reflects my inspiration,” says Mathieu.

“I grew up with that sculpture and I decided to experiment with it.” While all the pieces pay tribute to Mathieu’s penchant for curves, they differ in their personalities. An oversize floor lamp and bold sofa create grand statements, while three new pieces for his existing Aria collection are elegant in their delicate lines. The ribbon-like bases of his Ruban tables—which Mathieu describes as an escape from gravity—play a more whimsical role in the exhibition. “My new Ruban collection is a jump from the more formal style,” says the designer. “It’s of the same family as the rest of my work, but freer in form.” The driving force behind the exhibition is a mutual respect the artists have for each other. “I continue to be drawn to Paul’s more sculptural pieces,” says Pucci. “It’s not his most commercial work, but it’s really the essence of Paul Mathieu.” And the designer appreciates Pucci’s understanding of how his work should be seen. “Ralph is showing the pieces as sculptural furniture,” says Mathieu, “not as sculpture that wants to be furniture.”

BLUEPRINT ON VIEW

“ANDY WARHOL—FROM A TO B AND BACK AGAIN” Pop master. Innovator. Provocateur. Andy Warhol was one of the most influential artists of the modern era. Visit the Whitney Museum of American Art to view the first Warhol retrospective in the U.S. in nearly 30 years. Comprising 350 works spanning his 40-year career, the exhibit covers Warhol’s student work at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, his years as a commercial artist, his Pop art period and more. The show also includes his iconic silkscreens from the 1960s alongside his Reversals and Retrospectives series, in which he revisited the images, reversing the colors or printing them in nearmonochromatic tones. Be sure to catch some of Warhol’s avant-garde films as well, being screened in the museum’s Susan and John Hess Family Theater. The exhibit continues through March 31. whitney.org

LAUNCH THE AERIN COLLECTION

Designer, author and tastemaker Aerin Lauder, who established her eponymous luxury lifestyle brand six years ago, has expanded her repertoire once again. She recently joined forces with The Shade Store to launch The Aerin Collection, an exclusive series of luxurious window treatments. The line includes roller shades featuring small-scale patterns that add visual interest yet filter light uniformly, as well as drapery panels and Roman shades influenced by vintage, hand-blocked designs. “My home in the Hamptons, which previously belonged to my grandmother [legendary beauty entrepreneur Estée Lauder], inspired the collection and its many patterns, such as Hampton Floral and Wainscott Paisley,” Lauder says. “Aerin for The Shade Store is influenced by that mix, which makes a room feel more personal and curated to your individual style.” Lauder thoughtfully created designs that would partner beautifully with various colors and styles, so customers can add drapery panels to a window with existing roller panels, or vice versa. “The color palette is soft and painterly, 102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ITINERARY JACQUELINE CLAIR

While decorating her cozy, colorful Manhattan apartment, native New Yorker Jacqueline Clair is often inspired by the treasures she comes across while exploring the city she knows so well. The interior design and lifestyle blogger and freelance photographer enjoys sharing her favorite finds with her many followers, from the local shops she sources for decor to stylish stop-offs for a tasty bite to corner bookstores that stock engaging reads. Here, Clair details her idea of a day well spent on the Upper East Side. jacquelineclair.com

10 a.m. Next, I would go for a walk in Central Park. I like to stop by the Conservatory Garden (shown, top right) on 105th Street and 5th Avenue. They have three little formal gardens, the only formal gardens in Central Park. 12 p.m. There’s a decor shop I really like called Folly New York (shown, bottom right). I’ve gone there a few times, and I got a wicker tray for my coffee table and a nice vase. For window shopping, a place called KRB has a great mix of pieces. I also like Mecox Gardens on Lexington Avenue, where you can get a coffee-table book or Christopher Spitzmiller lamps. 1:30 p.m. Two Little Red Hens is an Upper East Side staple. It has really good cupcakes as well as delicious coffee and scones. There’s also Ladurée (shown, bottom left), a chic spot for macarons. 104 / LUXESOURCE.COM

2 p.m. Then I’d pop into some bookstores—one of my favorite things to do. There’s The Corner Bookstore on Carnegie Hill. It’s super small, but very curated. I also like Kitchen Arts & Letters, which focuses purely on cookbooks and food-related tomes. 3 p.m. In the afternoon, I might go to a museum. I love The Frick Collection, which is one of my favorites up here because it’s much smaller than The Met and has more of a house feeling. They have a great collection of art and a beautiful fountain. 6 p.m. For dinner, one of my favorite restaurants is Eastfield’s on York Avenue (shown, center). It has great decor with sleek navy leather banquettes. The menu changes seasonally, and everything I’ve had there is delicious. 8 p.m. For an after-dinner drink, I really like Jones Wood Foundry, which is warm and welcoming with an English pub feel—a great place for a cold winter’s night. There’s also Auction House, which feels like a downtown place tucked away on the Upper East Side. They have gilded-framed portraits on the walls, tufted couches, exposed brick and a marble fireplace. It’s very cozy.

9 a.m. To start the day, I like to go to a cafe near my apartment called Le Moulin à Café. They have the best croissants and pain au chocolat I’ve ever had. There’s a French school nearby, so there are a lot of expats from France around the area. This is where they all go in the morning, and then after school the French kids stop by. The owners are from France; it’s a charming place.

THESE THREE RECENTLY RELEASED COFFEE TABLE TOMES HIGHLIGHT SOME OF NEW YORK’S FINEST ARCHITECTURE.

MARK FOSTER GAGE: PROJECTS AND PROVOCATIONS Mark Foster Gage

Renowned for his visionary and awe-inspiring designs, award-winning New York architect Mark Foster Gage offers a feast of captivating ideas and built work in his first monograph. Gage, who is assistant dean and associate professor at the Yale School of Architecture, is a pioneer of digital avant-garde architecture, whose designs continuously stretch the boundaries of what architecture can be. This volume also captures his foray into fashion, design and art, including his three-dimesnional-printed dress for Lady Gaga, his designs for Google Glass and his Valentine to Times Square sculpture in New York City. rizzoliusa.com

ASHE + LEANDRO

New York design firm Ashe + Leandro couldn’t find certain furnishings they needed for their clients. Upon realizing they were making the same pieces over and over, they decided to create their own 10-piece line: Ruemmler. Mia Dalton, formerly head of interiors at the firm, who designed the line with Ariel Ashe and Reinaldo Leandro, dishes on what sets Ruemmler apart. asheleandro.com Tell us about the voids you noticed in the market. Our wall-mounted console was a big one. Especially in New York, we kept finding that clients wanted something in their entryway that was sleek and minimal and didn’t take up a lot of space. We also wanted to design a New York-friendly nightstand that was small but had storage. How were the materials chosen? We wanted the pieces to have some character to them, so we focused on materials that would age well over time. The leather that we used for both the top of the console and the lounge chair is untreated. We used silk for all the lighting, which is a natural material that will change over time, depending on how the owner uses it. That was all intentional. What’s next? We plan to grow the line over time, but the ambition is not to have a 50-piece collection in two years. We’ll also add and subtract designs, and we’re interested in doing limited runs, especially collaborations with people whom we’ve worked with. 106 / LUXESOURCE.COM

WITHERS & GRAIN ⊲ Founded by Luke Fasano and Adam Johnson, Withers & Grain began in a Bed Stuy basement and now makes quality one-of-a-kind furnishings from refurbished wood, like elegant live-edge tables and contemporary consoles. The studio’s work can be found in homes, at local hot spots like gastropub Hill & Dale and The Standard hotel, as well as around the globe. Having outgrown its Williamsburg studio due to heavy client demand, Withers & Grain recently moved to a more spacious studio in Red Hook. withersandgrain.com 108 / LUXESOURCE.COM

▲ FALLEN INDUSTRY A few years ago, while strolling along the Hudson River, artist Paul Kruger noticed some industrial driftwood poking up through the water’s surface—aged over time, pocked with nail holes. Inspiration struck, and he began to collect old wood, transforming it into sculptures and furnishings. As his experiments evolved, he launched Fallen Industry, based in Industry City in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, which gives fallen trees and reclaimed wood “a second life.” The company makes live-edge dining tables, consoles featuring wood “spilling” onto a steel base, and mirrors framed to evoke a peek through a woodland. fallenindustry.com

Making handcrafted furnishings and functional objects from sustainably sourced premium hardwoods and other natural materials, From the Source works closely with a local community in Indonesia. Some of its offerings are simply parts—teak slab tabletops, iron bases—that customers can use to make their own unique furniture. The company recently launched its Pele collection, dining chairs and spacious lounge chairs made of recycled oil drums sporting brightly colored graphics. ftsny.com

LEADING LADY

Elsie de Wolfe is the grand dame of interior design as we know it–many credit her with inventing the profession of interior decoration. She went against the grain of Victorian design trends, replacing dark furniture and heavy draperies with floral wallpaper and feminine colors. This interior legend was commissioned by Stanford White to design the interiors for the Colony Club in New York City, and for the likes of Condé Nast and the Frick and Vanderbilt families. The tea house (shown) is one of de Wolfe’s only remaining designs intact. Originally designed for the Coe family, it is now a part of Planting Fields Arboretum and State Park in Oyster Bay, New York.

THE LOOK Elevate the ordinary with bold baths and powder rooms that combine colorful patterns, elegant materials and showstopping details.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

BATHING BEAUTY DESIGNERS TURN TO PUNCHY PATTERNS AND BOLD MATERIALS TO CREATE BATHROOMS WITH HIGH IMPACT.

There are few spaces in a home more intimate than a luxurious bathroom— it’s where we pamper ourselves; it’s where we begin and end our days; it’s a haven for relaxation. Designers are exploring new schemes and kicking the design of this space into high gear with lush colors, plush textures and deluxe finishes. They’re also thinking outside the typical white marble box with stylish elements like graphic tile, glamorous lighting and architectural fittings for an allencompassing effect. Whether it be an elegant master bath with ladylike details or a jewel box powder room featuring statement-making wallcoverings, bold bathrooms are back. As designer Denise McGaha explains, “Don’t you want a bathroom that feels out of the ordinary, that no one else has?” So, grab your bubble bath and dive into these spectacular spaces. 172 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ON POINT DENISE MCGAHA

For her own master bathroom, Dallas-based designer Denise McGaha admits she really got to push the envelope. While she and her husband agreed on certain items that were essential to the space like storage, a steam shower and natural light, they each had their own ideas to consider. McGaha knew the design should feel sophisticated and artful, the opposite of the cold, white-marble-and-glass bath, and her husband wanted to make sure the entire scheme didn’t steer too feminine. Through her masterful mix of color, pattern and texture, McGaha created a dynamic space that when unveiled to her husband, a man of many words, rendered him completely speechless. denisemcgaha.com

Can you talk about your approach to pattern and color? The black-and-white Silestone countertops are very sophisticated and we continued the palette with my Design Legacy fabric on the Roman shade that aligns perfectly with the wallpaper on the ceiling.

What was your main goal for this space? I wanted something that was really a sanctuary for me and my husband, but our master bathroom hadn’t been touched since we moved in almost 20 years ago, so we knocked out everything to the studs. From there, it was about opening up the room and creating a timeless, elegant feel.

LUXURY LIFESTYLE Build, renovate or restore your dream home with Shawmut Luxury Homes.

Les Hiscoe CEO, Shawmut

Anyone who has renovated or built a home knows residential construction is unpredictable, fraught with major budget overruns and blown project schedules. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Shawmut Design and Construction, a commercial builder that works on ultra-luxurious and complex projects, has the bespoke expertise and cutting-edge techniques to deliver on schedule, cost, and quality. With the backing of Shawmut’s unmatched certainty of outcome, its Luxury Homes team provides a predictable and enjoyable construction experience for its residential clients. Working with the finest and most unique finishes in the world, the team specializes in apartment and home renovations, town house rebuilds and additions, ground-up residences, and historic estate restorations. Here, Les Hiscoe, Shawmut CEO, shares insights into the world of Luxury Homes.

HOW DID SHAWMUT BREAK INTO THE RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS? The Luxury Homes team began by working on our luxury commercial clients’ homes. Many clients told us that they value the commercial experience with us so much, they refuse to work with anyone else on personal residential projects. These client relationships, coupled with our understanding of the details and techniques that go into delivering beautiful private homes, has led to $550 million in work to date, with $140 million in currently active work. HOW HAVE SHAWMUT’S HIGH-PROFILE COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL PROJECTS INFLUENCED THE LUXURY HOMES DIVISION? Our residential clients have been particularly inspired by the intricate finishes and details they’ve seen in our high-profile projects for Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Nobu, and more. So it was a natural fit to appoint the former head of retail, William Pisani, to oversee Luxury Homes. The team integrates the same pre-planning and innovative project delivery methods we use for our commercial projects to ensure cost and schedule control, providing reassurance for our clients in an industry that’s known for overruns. TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF YOUR MOST EXCITING PROJECTS. We’re currently working on a rebuild of a landmarked town house in the Upper East Side that will have a spa in the basement, with stepping stones that lead you over water to the pool and sauna. We also just finished work on an 18,100-square-foot mansion where we collaborated with the architect and engineer to custom-build and install a floating, semi-spiral staircase onto a floating floor. WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF WORKING WITH SHAWMUT FOR A RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNER? We deliver the personalized experience of a boutique firm with the backing of a $1.2 billion commercial builder, offering an unmatched level of sophistication, innovation, and stability.

CLEAN SLATE

For a Malibu residence where dining is often casual, designer Chad Eisner went with a round table to suit his clients’ easy, everyday style. “It’s inviting because it puts everyone on equal footing since there’s no hierarchy at either head of the table,” he says. Eisner also suggests using armless chairs, which lend to greater accessibility, and seatbacks with a slight curve that give the perception of a larger chair without taking up the real estate. And to avoid damaging tabletops, the designer recommends using a table pad covered with a tablecloth. “They’re a livesaver,” he says, adding, “You should have two to four tablecloths in your repertoire, like a classic white hemstitch and a natural color.” cweisner.com

“There is no tip-toeing around in this room,” says interior designer John Willey of this Central Park West residence in New York. “It’s a cleanlined space that’s very inviting without the fuss.” To balance the cool blue and white hues, Willey opted for warm, down-to-earth colors like dusty rose, cinnamon and terra cotta, and also added printed-cotton draperies that are elevated “without being too formal,” adds the interior designer. The heft of the marble coffee table makes a striking stationary statement as “a beautiful presence that anchors the room,” says Willey. willeydesign.com

ALL IN THE MIX

EBB AND FLOW

“The living room is central to family life,” says interior designer Barclay Butera, who designed the inviting interiors for this Moorish-Moroccaninfluenced villa in Miami Beach. In the great room, just a few tiled steps down from the entry, deep hues of red and emerald mix with unexpected finishes, including a pair of agate-and-iron chandeliers. Crowning both the living and dining areas, they demarcate functions yet help to unify the space. “Clients want a room that has plenty of seating with a great flow for conversation,” says Butera. barclaybutera.com

WARM WELCOME

Given it’s the first impression a visitor will have, the material and furnishings of an entryway should set the stage for a home’s overall tone and vibe, as designer Jennifer Ferrandi has done with the foyer of this sunny Scottsdale, Arizona residence. “It’s very organic and quiet— not a lot of bright colors in the entry or throughout the home,” she says. First, she established an indoor-outdoor connection by using brick from the exterior for the flooring and planters. Then, she incorporated a natural statement piece. “An unexpected oversize cactus gives visitors insight into what kind of homeowners live here,” she says. “It is definitely a ‘put-your-feet-on-the-table’ kind of place.” adgphx.com

TO THE TOUCH

“Dark colors tend to envelope you more, and they’re less reflective of light,” says designer Jessica Helgerson, who fashioned the dynamic interiors of this classic Victorian in Portland, Oregon. In the family room, dark brown paint with a touch of purple and deep tones of the wood complement the bold and modern furnishings in jewel tones creating a stylish and up-to-date feeling. While Helgerson did some remodeling to make it more contemporary for a young family, “we were very respectful of the architecture,” she says. “It’s a backdrop of old with a bright, fresh, new color palette,” says the designer. jhinteriordesign.com

artful LIVING

“Art is something you must love, since you’ll be experiencing it on a daily basis,” says interior designer Deborah Wecselman, who created the art-filled interiors of this Miami residence. Below are her tips for establishing a striking living space using artwork. dwdinc.com Find balance: Sometimes art should take center stage and the furniture should act as supporting characters; sometimes art merely complements the design.

Give it room: If there is a major piece of art, it is important to let it breathe without creating claustrophobia by surrounding it with multiple pieces of furniture.

5 SET the STAGE

FOUR INTERIOR TALENTS DISH ON HOW TO DESIGN HIGHIMPACT LIVING SPACES WITH PERSONALITY.

JANET BROOKS

BELLA MANCINI

What are some oftenoverlooked elements of design? I am a fanatic about the importance of appropriate lighting in all locations, not only for general illumination but also for creating accents and special effects. Most important aspect to consider when determining a layout: I always keep in mind the clients’ lifestyle in relation to the available space and striving for a comfortable solution. janetbrooksdesign.com

Favorite colors of the moment? In city and country homes alike, we are mixing in ochre, puce and very dark grays. Our clients seem more open to these more adventurous hues than in years past. Best item to splurge on: Custom window treatments can transform any room. Even when a budget doesn’t allow for much more than retail furniture, I always set aside room in the finances for custom draperies. bellamancinidesign.com

LORRAINE ROGERS-BOLTON What do antiques add to a space? These pieces can provide interest to a design, especially if the client enjoys the eclecticism of old versus new. What should always be considered when designing interiors? The proportion of furnishings to the size and height of a room determines the success of a space. However, it should be unnoticeable if implemented properly. rogersdesign.com

KIM SCODRO What should homeowners spend on? You will never regret splurging on a comfortable place to sit. When the bones of an upholstered piece are right, there is nothing better. Top tips to keep in mind when planning a layout for your client: When working on a furniture plan, we always keep in mind who, how and why. Who is living in the space? How are they using it? And why are they using this room? kimscodro.com

THIS PAGE: ARTFUL LIVING: KRIS TAMBURELLO. SET THE STAGE HEADSHOTS: BROOKS, CARL SCHULTZ. MANCINI, BRITTANY AMBRIDGE. ROGERS-BOLTON, ARGONAUT ARCHITECTURALS. SCODRO, COURTESY KIM SCODRO. OPPOSITE: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN: AARON LEITZ. A BOLD ENTRY: NATHAN SCHRODER.

Pick your color battles: When designing with vibrant hues, choose the art or accessories to pack the color punch. Try introducing just a bit of color from the art into the furnishings, and leave the rest of the palette muted.

7 6 STAIRWAY to HEAVEN When renovating this San Francisco residence, originally built by architect Albert Farr in 1930, Handel Architects partner-in-charge Glenn Rescalvo made graceful updates that enhance tradition. “We always start with what’s existing and try to use the most beautiful elements as starting points for any additional design elements that we bring in.” handelarchitects.com

How did you make the traditional and modern aesthetic work together? The soft geometry of the original bronze handrail (a combination of curves and linear elements) was very inspiring for the entire look. We picked up on those details and commissioned Lindsey Adelman to create a beautiful fixture, spanning three floors. Its constellation of burnt-orange glass drops and brassfinish rods contrast with the original traditional handrail.

Is there a way to keep the look from feeling outdated? Always keep the conversation open between history and progress by integrating contemporary details through the furnishings and accessories, as well as the art selection. Here, the white walls give a simple look, while the plaster Alexander Lamont chandelier in the foreground hangs by gilded bronze chains. Finishes and texture live together in a perfect cohabitation. Where do you see the genre of classic architecture going? The traditional look relates to heritage. No one invents anything completely new, and the challenge of a designer is to reinterpret the past to create something new. People are interested in both the craftsmanship of classicism, and the sleekness of contemporary elements.

A BOLD ENTRY

A hallway is no place to overlook the details—it’s a prime area to honor the architecture, connect rooms or make a lasting statement. The entry hall of this Dallas residence by designer Leslie Jenkins and senior designer Haley Powell, with architecture by David Stocker, accomplishes all three. “We love how the lanterns play off the lines in the steelframed windows and doors, and lend cohesion to the entire space,” the designers explain. “Lanterns are a timeless solution to lighting in hallways, while complementing grand chandeliers found elsewhere.” One of the first conversations these designers usually have with their clients is about a home’s entryway, as flooring material is crucial to help guide the feel of the design. In the absence of natural light, a light wall color will help a hallway feel airy, the designers advise, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase special pieces, like vintage runners, that introduce a colorful palette of what’s to come. jenkinsinteriors.com

FLASHBACK

“Any color that is used in a well-designed space works,” says designer Joelle C. Nesen, who boldly mixed bright shades of yellow in this sunny Palm Springs, California kitchen. What’s more important to consider, she says, is one’s comfort level with color, and the mood for the project and the environment. “Are we going for ethereal drama, layered color that connects to the landscape, or something over-the-top?” Below, she offers three tips for using bright hues like a pro. maisoninc.com Consider lighting. Natural light and the outside environment play a big role in the color value. If your space is filled with natural light, the hue is going to be much more blown out versus a dark den with little natural light. Color value. If you’re going to splurge on color, art is the most important element—plus it has long-lasting value. When using artwork, try playing with the juxtaposition of the furniture and finishes, or go in the direction of pure drama with bright hues. Incorporate the unexpected. Pairing a color with similar shades creates drama that is both high-impact and eye-catching, but not overwhelming. In this kitchen, the wall tile is more of a marigold hue while the chairs have a chartreuse tinge. We loved how the tension of the different yellows played off the warm brass.

INTERIOR AUTHORITY HEADSHOTS: CAILLIER, BELATHÉE PHOTOGRAPHY. GLASS MULLEN, EMILY MINTON REDFIELD. WISS, COURTESY GARY WISS. CASTILLO, COURTESY JORGE CASTILLO. FULLER, STEPHEN BUSKEN.

“I think it’s a direct reaction to years of using gray,” says designer Timothy Corrigan of the trend to embrace bold, jewel-tone shades in the home, like this green kitchen he fashioned for a Brentwood, California residence. To add life into any space, Corrigan suggests using color where you want a shot of energy, like the kitchen, or where you don’t spend a lot of time, like a hallway, and not in an area that’s purposely restful, like a bedroom. When choosing a shade, consider context. “You’ve got to look at it in the space you’re planning to use it,” he says. For example, this kitchen opens to a garden, so these “spring-leaf greens” establish an indoor-outdoor connection. timothy-corrigan.com

10 PATTERN PLAY

“I’ve worked with color all my career,” says designer Anthony Baratta, who devised the masterful palette of this living room in Fort Lauderdale. “Everything can’t be the same color value,” he says. “It has to be a mix.” The blues range from gray to navy, and the reds shift from orange to blue-red. When picking a palette, Baratta suggests: “Go to the Benjamin Moore paint rack and play,” he says. “You’ll go in a direction that you never believed you would.” anthonybaratta.com

TO DETAIL

Organic motifs animate the bright orange de Gournay wall panels in this Dallas home envisioned by designer Cynthia Collins. The bold hue is complemented with lavender details—appearing on the sofa and in touches throughout the hand-painted paper. “It’s important to pair color tones,” says Collins. “They don’t necessarily need to match but must enhance each other.” collins-interiors.com

INTERIOR AUTHORITY FIVE INTERIOR PROFESSIONALS EXPLAIN THE INS AND OUTS OF INFUSING A SPACE WITH BOLD COLOR.

HEIDI CAILLIER Best color to use when designing a living space? We often defer to using white on the walls, specifically Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, so we can have more flexibility when designing with colorful textiles. heidicaillierdesign.com

BARBARA GLASS MULLEN With furnishings, how do you incorporate color? Lamp shades in patterns and colors—they make a bedroom feel eclectic and interesting. You can create custom shades for any lamp using your choice fabric. barbaraglassinc.com

NICOLE FULLER

Where is the ideal place in the home to incorporate color? I love to integrate bright hues in small spaces, usually the foyer, mud room, and hallways, or the powder room to make it feel like a jewel box experience. wissdesignstudio.com

What do wallcoverings add to a home? I love using wallpaper to incorporate texture and color, and to create expressive drama in the most optimal places. Phillip Jeffries and Romo wallcoverings are usually my go-to resources. jorgecastillo.com

Go-to color when designing a high-impact room? Vardo by Farrow & Ball. It translates to a peacock-teal, green-blue hue and is so rich with visual texture that you can layer it with soft colors, like pale pink or light yellow, or go more masculine with brown. nicolefullerinteriors.com

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE

A home’s entry should express a sense of transition and “create a preview of the experience on the other side of the door,” says architect John Henderson, who designed this exemplary Newport Beach, California residence with smooth-troweled plaster, stained-wood eaves, and a standing-seam roof. He shares four tips for creating an inviting entryway. spectrumarchitecture.com Think about transitions. Devise a sense of leaving the streetscape and entering into a semiprivate space. This can be achieved by either a physical transition such as a wall and gate, or a perceived boundary such as a landscape barrier or planting scheme. Blurred lines. Begin to envelop the entry experience by blurring the lines between the outside and the inside of the home. Create an outdoor space that is partially enclosed by the building’s walls but remains open to the sky and landscaping. Use windows wisely. Use windows and openings to begin a visual connection between the indoors and outdoors. This serves as another tool for those entering the home to get a sense of the interior space. Repeat materials. Give the visitor a preview of what they might expect within the home by introducing materials, shapes, forms and colors outside. As the door opens, repeat some of those elements in the entry to link the two spaces.

INSIDE OUT

Architect Tobin Smith says it’s critically important to remain connected to nature. As such, continuous planes and material continuity, as seen with the steel ceiling beams for this San Antonio residence, “minimize the legibility of the building envelope,” he says, allowing indoor and outdoor to merge. Color helps unify a plane, as well, and in this case enables the exterior’s smooth stucco wall to “slide on through the glass as a singular element” to the interior’s gypsum board. Even a floor-toceiling glass pane—at the end of the corridor—frames nature. “Connecting with the cosmos is what it’s all about,” says Smith. tobinsmitharchitect.com

MAKING an ENTRANCE

ENTERTAINING EQUILIBRIUM

Striking design and space planning are the key elements that architect Jim Blochberger employed at this residence in Gilbert, Arizona. Arranged under a high-pitched roof are two distinct areas for dining and sitting, and although the volume of the roof is grand, the series of trusses bring down the height for a cozier feeling. “It’s nice to have a space that’s warm and welcoming,” he says. blochbergerdesign.com

In HARMONY

For optimal curb appeal, architect Larry Kahle hit all the key architectural principles designing this East Coast-inspired residence in Atherton, California: proper siting, a balanced sense of proportion and scale, great materials and detailing, and rhythm. “They feel natural and provide a sense of innate harmony,” he says. He always aims for repetition in threes, such as in windows, which makes for a “compelling and engaging,” design, he says. Kahle also suggests incorporating white trim. “It pops against the cedar shingles and dark vegetation,” he says. metropolisarchitecture.com

outdoor

INFLUENCE

When designing a residence in Coral Gables, Florida, set on a limestone ledge and surrounded by pin oak trees, architect Marc Turkel says, “We limited the palette and tried to use refined materials that have integrity and move from the outside to the inside.” Hence, the dramatic stacked-limestone in the home’s living room not only acts as a structural support but also as an ode to the exterior’s landscape. leroystreetstudio.com

18 NATURE NOD TO

Deemed the “butterfly house” because of the structure’s shape, this mountain contemporary home in Aspen, Colorado, features a wing-like roofline that opens it up to the vistas. By doing so, the design incorporates the surrounding landscape into the home. Architect Seth Hmielowski shares his thoughts on making location and materials work to your advantage. zgrouparchitects.com

Use what the lot has to offer. This house is on a small corner site in the center of town, where exterior space is at a premium. We lifted the ground floor to highlight mountain views—Red Mountain to the north and Aspen Mountain to the south—and obscure urban scenes like parked cars. Now, when sitting in the dining area or outdoor on the patio, you look out over the cars instead of into them.

Opposites attract. The limestone is monotone and gives off the feeling of concrete, but when you put it next to cedar siding, it adds an element of warmth.

How does the site influence your designs? As a contextualist, the landscape is my first consideration when beginning a project. The proximity to other structures, the topography, the views, the privacy— these aspects are the first clues as to what the house wants to be. markfinlay.com

Top design trend: The overall acceptance of modernism is really exciting, and not just because it’s been my life’s work. I think the places in the world where modernism is celebrated hold the deepest understanding of and appreciation for design. Those communities have great culture. drewettworks.com

Best thing to splurge on: Glass is expensive but worth it. Well-designed spaces with a lot of glass allow for a seamless connection from interior to exterior. Smaller spaces can feel much larger than they really are—not to mention the health benefits of natural light. Design motto: Build smaller. Build smarter. strang.design

Go-to element: Lighting. I use it to layer a space with warmth and interest. A room may be beautiful, but gorgeous lighting creates rooms you want to live in. What are homeowners requesting? I’m seeing more asks for spas and meditation rooms. People are looking to their home as a place of respite and peace. robbins-architecture.com

Favorite material: I love reclaimed materials, like brick or tile, as it is hard to authentically recreate a natural patina. Most important areas to invest in? Windows and flooring—you want to spend on those portions of a house that are the most difficult to change later and that set the tone for the home. virginiakelsey.com

TROPICAL

PUNCH

Luxury is more than just expensive materials, and that’s exactly what architect Clemens Bruns Schaub proves with his tropical modern design of this coastal estate in Vero Beach, Florida. This home is grounded by its orientation—to the sun, winds, surrounding views, and garden. “It’s about wind through palm trees and how light moves through a courtyard,” he says. Caribbean-inspired elements, such as wooden jalousies that capture breezes and shed rain, are designed to work with the climate and natural environment. cbsarchs.com

STAIR MASTER

Lakefront cottages are always about the views, and that’s exactly why architect Michael Abraham designed this stunning Michigan abode to blur the lines between inside and out. Large and plentiful windows, plus a series of modern staircases throughout the property, open up sight lines to Paw Paw Lake. Here’s how Abraham achieved such a grand effect. michael-abraham.com

What inspired the idea for this dramatic staircase? This Napainspired house on Michigan’s Paw Paw Lake comprises three structures: two coach houses at the top of a hill and a spacious home along the lake. The compound was built on a sloping lot, so there are a number of staircases both inside and outside the house, along with an ipe-wood bridge system connecting the three structures. Since this three-

level interior staircase would be visible from inside and outside, we wanted to mimic the adjacent exterior stairs. How did you bring it to life? Guests enter the main home on the second floor, and we worked with general contractor Dave Knecht to create this sculptural staircase that connects the residence’s three levels. We used floating wood treads and a linear steel railing. Tell us about the use of metal, wood and glass throughout the spaces. The staircase offered one more opportunity to tie in these materials. We also wanted as much glass as possible to make it feel like you were outside when going from one floor to another. Continuity from room to room allows the elements that are intended to be special to stand out when desired.

MOMENTS PERFECT MIX The penthouse in this prewar-style Manhattan building overlooking Central Park had everything but great bones, so builder Mark Dobbin started by breaking apart the existing architecture. He installed new doors, windows and steel structures to create an openconcept space. A mix of oak, chestnut, teak and olive woods, selected for their beautiful grains, help warm the space, while Kelly Wearstler fabricupholstered chairs and hand-dyed Fromental wallpaper add bold pops of color. highlinecg.com

▼ PASSING THROUGH More Colonial Williamsburg than Northern California, this Georgian-style beauty was brought lovingly back to life for the Atherton homeowners. The long, windowed breezeway—constructed by builder Ed Faubel to join the house with a new garage—was designed to resemble a carriage house and connects the gardens in the front and back of the house. faubelconstruction.com

▲ NATURAL INSTINCTS Inside and outside meet in the master bathroom of this LEED-accredited Florida home. General contractor Cole Haynes worked closely with the design team and homeowner to achieve a sense of dimension using natural Mexican river rock and ipe wood, both surrounding the Duravit tub. The same textures are repeated in the adjoining open-air shower and garden. the22group.com

▲ HEAVY METAL “The starkness of drywall is a thing of the past,” says general contractor Tom Fisher, who helped bring to life the powder room of this Arizona home. The walls, mostly steel cladding and wood veneers, create a textural backdrop for the copper-andlive-edge walnut counter built by Ramsey Brothers and envisioned by interior designer Anita Lang. fishercustomhomes.com

AGING gracefully

For this Oregon home perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the architecture is secondary to the setting. Residential designer David Horning used simple lines that mimic the Northern Oregon Coast Range and materials that will blend in the with surrounding landscape over time. Here, he shares a few tips. moa-arch.com Select materials that have common characteristics. In this home, we used elements that will age naturally. The cedar on the exterior and interior will eventually turn gray, and the brass and steel accents will patina and tarnish over time.

Best splurge: Hardwood floors and custom cabinetry are vital in any high-end home. White oak, in particular, allows for creative staining and glazing.

The old adage still rings true: Kitchens and master baths are what sell homes. riordanhomes.com

What is your favorite material? I love concrete— the raw material is muddy and physically hard to work with, yet the end result is solid and strong. You can also shape it into curves, make it smooth as silk, or rough and textured. It has endless personalities. I also appreciate standard, oldfashioned red brick. There is something so classic about brick—it reminds me of the Dick Van Dyke show. fairbankconstruction.com

Most important item for homeowners to spend on? Windows and insulation. They make a big impact on how comfortable a house is and they are very hard to replace later. Go-to material: Lately it’s steel, and I like to see it exposed whenever possible. The creative possibilities are limitless because there are so many ways to fabricate, machine, texture, forge and patina steel. gerberconstruction.net

Why are kitchen and bathroom renovations so important? Kitchens and bathrooms are where you do most of your living. How they work for you has a real correlation to how happy you are with your home. Top building material: As a craftsman, wood has been a touchstone material for my entire career, especially because we are surrounded by all types of trees in the Pacific Northwest. tothconstruction.com

PEAK 26 EXPERIENCE

Designed to match the region’s rustic buildings and laid-back lifestyle, this traditional cabin-style home in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley epitomizes mountain living. The expansive porch with a grand stone fireplace allows the homeowners to take full advantage of the outdoors during summertime. A picturesque grove of Aspen trees frames the entrance to the house, and landscape architect Richard Camp saved another stand of trees in the entry courtyard, past which he installed an idyllic pond that looks like it could have been there for centuries. rclandscape.net

WIT & whimsy When presented with a bare sage-green garden gazebo covered in mature tea-rose vines at this Oakland property, designer April Powers was delighted at the opportunity to transform the sparse structure into a plush and playful outdoor gathering space. The clients’ fondness for Moorish decorative elements inspired her use of cushions and throw pillows in Moroccan-style patterns and colors on the custom-built banquette as well as a teak coffee table. Sheer drapery panels and an indoor-outdoor Stark rug complete the look of this inviting outdoor lounge ideal for entertaining guests. apowersinteriors.com

SITTING PRETTY

In keeping with this Texas homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmhouse feel, architect Michael Imber came up with the idea for a modern pool barn with sliding steel doors to create a visual enclosure for the yard. The airy pavilion is flanked by pergolas on either side, which provide transparency and lightness, plus a little bit of shade from the hot Texas sun. Stone, similar to what was used on the rest of the house, clads the pergola columns and fireplace, tying them in visually to the rest of the residence. Furnishings selected by designer Fern Santini make for a comfortable outdoor sitting area for the homeowners, who can entertain guests while also keeping an eye on the children as they play in the pool and grassy yard. michaelgimber.com

SETTING THE SCENE ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ALL ABOUT DESIGNING TO LOCATION AT THESE THREE STUNNING HOMES, EACH WITH THEIR OWN UNIQUE POINTS OF VIEW.

SOARING VISTAS

Designer Thom Filicia mixed periods and styles for a fresh collected feel for this penthouse duplex in Manhattan. For the rooftop terrace with a striking city skyline view, he paired a sofa and chairs by McKinnon and Harris with two whimsical John Dickinson hoofed tables from Sutherland Furniture. thomfilicia.com

LAKE LEVEL

This property with views of Lake Washington posed a fun challenge for landscape architect Scott Holsapple: Take a rugged site with almost no flat land and transform it into a garden sanctuary. After clearing a barrier of invasive species, he restored the site with native plants and built a path supported by nurse logs. shd-la.com

COUNTRY CLASSIC

Planted with four-season interest in mind, this manicured Lake Michigan estate boasts a reclaimed brick walkway and knee wall landscaped with perennials, flowering trees, and naturalistic shrubs selected by landscape designer Simon Prunty of Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects. hoerrschaudt.com

For this polished outdoor space, landscape architect Keith Williams—who always advises clients to keep landscaping simple and clean—transformed an overgrown yard into a polished outdoor area to complement this Mediterranean Revival-style residence in Palm Beach. Here, citrus trees, ground cover, and jasmine minima around the pool area create a carpet-like effect perfect for the minimalist lounges along the pool deck. He kept a few existing Sabal palms for their height and uniqueness and added Alexander palms for a sense of privacy. Bougainvillea brings a pop of color. nieverawilliams.com

GREAT EXPECTATIONS Designed to look like it could be centuries old, this Miami home embodies true Venetian glamour. Local artisans cleaned up the dilapidated 1930s home with salmon stucco walls, an authentic Spanish tile roof and Corinthian columns. Landscape designer Stanley Matz created lush gardens to match the old-world architecture. His team added sculpted podocarpus in the front to mimic Italian cypress trees, along with picnic roses and cone-shaped garcinia for a formal touch. In the courtyard, silver buttonwoods with gnarly twisted trunks give the illusion of Tuscan olive trees. majestic-gardens.com

DESERT BLOOM Landscape architect Pete Cure created an inviting alfresco living space for this Sedona, Arizona home. The sunken outdoor living room is surrounded by raised planters, filled with deer grass and large agaves, of varying heights that help define the space. A perimeter of native stones and vegetation, including ocotillo, broom snakeweed and salvia greggii provides a natural boundary. arterrasedonalandscapedesign.com

EN PLEIN

FOUR LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS SHARE THEIR IDEAS FOR CREATING INVITING ALFRESCO OASES.

30 GARDEN PARTY You might expect to find an outdoor dining room surrounded by lush, overgrown foliage on an island estate, but landscape designer Stephen Block designed this tropical enclave for his vintage Andalusian-style home in Los Angeles. He revived the old and tired existing garden with a mix of Mediterranean, tropical, antique, and modern elements to stunning effect. innergardens.com How did the idea for this outdoor dining area come about? The design and furniture selection developed from the concept that form follows function. The space is very long and narrow and connects to a perpendicular backyard pool area. I closed off this side yard area with a 1920s iron gate and pilasters, thereby creating the outdoor dining room. I chose a rustic wooden table and old wicker chairs. In one part of the space, a fountain (not pictured) by German designer George Wilhelm

Marquardt gives us just enough gurgle to take away the sounds of the outside world. It also attracts all kinds of animal life. Sometimes, green parrots even land in the fountain to wash their bodies. Tell us about the wicker chairs. The chairs are rather voluptuous and the color has that worn-in look, just like the table. It all feels very relaxed. Designer Kathryn M. Ireland chose the simple cushions so as to not take away from the quietness of the furnishings and the space. What were you hoping to achieve with the plant selection? Since the area is shaded by old Melaleuca trees, I had to utilize tropical shade plants in the garden. I love the dark green color and large scale of the round-leaved ligularia against the agave attenuata, with its contrasting Mediterranean gray color and leaf shape. Classical boxwood hedges frame the house, and three citrus trees give the space a verdant feel.

PHIL STEINHAUER

ORLANDO COMAS

Favorite plants: My go-to palette is the clump form of Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry, Gro-Low sumac, Mahonia Repens, and lowgrowing perennials. This grouping offers seasonal color. What makes for a successful remodel? The landscape is the first impression of a home, and having a continuous theme throughout the property gives the residence overall charm. Working with architects and interior designers allows landscape designers to create a seamless flow to the outdoors. designscapescolorado.com

How do you take the surrounding landscape into consideration? The clients’ activities and their location within the site will determine the basis of the landscape planning. Once that is established, I try to create a fusion when it comes to the plant palette selection. What shapes your designs? I have two key elements: first, the client’s style wishes, and second, the architectural style. These two concepts combined will define the look and direction of the landscape architecture.

JEFF BERGHOFF

TAL THEVENOT

What are the best ways to entice people to spend time outside? Not only are we garden designers, but we are also designing for hospitality. Are the homeowners going to spend time in the sun, shade, around a pool, or a fire pit? Creating these elements within different spaces in the garden and highlighting them will encourage homeowners and guests to spend time outside. Design trend you’re loving right now: I like a clean and tailored look—simplistic elegance will stand the test of time. berghoffdesign.com

How does the setting influence your design? We always study our existing, built and surrounding environments so we can cohesively merge the landscape with the existing scenery and architecture. Some of the most important elements are sight lines, sun exposure, shade, drainage, views and circulation. Tenets of a successful remodel: Creativity, durability and function. Design trend you’re loving: Creative landscape and hardscape lighting can really transform an outdoor space. aquaterraoutdoors.com

LAYER IT ON

CURATED CURVES

WHITE OUT

As a more-is-more type of designer, layering is one of my favorite trends.

Each of these pieces represents the design world’s current obsession with all things curvilinear.

Fall Market was a white out! This classic and clean look is here to stay.

“These are a cool, modern alternative to traditional coffee tables and a fun way to add texture and personality to any space.”

“A combination of Continental European influence and our passion for reviving bygone eras, curves continue to reign supreme in furnishings, art and lighting.”

“Plaster and deep gesso finishes were abundant in lighting. Bleached-wood case goods and tables, as well as white shearling upholstery, brightened spaces.”

KAURI WALLCOVERING IMAGE: COURTESY FROMENTAL.

OUR 2019 GOLD LIST: CREATORS OF THE INSPIRATIONAL HOMES

“I am continually inspired by iconic midcentury furniture pieces and incorporate them whenever I can. Some of my favorites are the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Saarinen Oval Dining Table and the Womb Chair; they work absolutely anywhere. Sixty-plus years later they are as fresh today as they were when introduced.”

I DON’T THINK THERE’S A MORE IMPACTFUL BUILDING MATERIAL IN A ROOM THAN MOLDINGS. WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED THEY HAVE A POWERFUL EFFECT.” –BRENT HULL, FORT WORTH, TX

“I love Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball. I have used it in a library on all of the wall-to-wall bookshelves and in a bartender’s alley. It is great for bringing warmth to a space and adds a certain mood to a room.” –KATHRYN M. IRELAND, LOS ANGELES

“We study great design by Piero Portaluppi, Carlo Scarpa, Gio Ponti, Jean-Michel Frank, and Jacques Adnet for their wonderful understanding of classicism and their abilities to create sensitive evolutions to its traditions.” –DANIEL KAHAN, WEST PALM BEACH, FL

THIS PAGE: SAARINEN TABLE, COURTESY KNOLL, INC. OPPOSITE: IMBER PHOTO, PETER VITALE.

–MICHAEL ABRAMS, CHICAGO

“The simple concept of balance is always top of mind. Between the highly articulate gesture and the more neutral complement; finding the perfect resonance between the two and knowing when to stop is always a work in progress. –JOSHUA AIDLIN, SAN FRANCISCO

“Less is more in terms of square footage. Consider what portion of the home you enjoy spending time in. Make those parts the best they can be even if it means sacrificing areas that are rarely used.” –DAVID MONTALBA, LOS ANGELES

“SIMPLE VERNACULAR BUILDINGS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL REACTION TO CRAFT, CULTURE AND LANDSCAPE. OFTEN THEY ARE STRIPPED TO THEIR ESSENCE, APPEALING TO OUR SENSE OF SIMPLICITY AND RICHNESS IN CHARACTER.” –MICHAEL IMBER, SAN ANTONIO, TX

“Invest in something custom that is yours alone. Be it a crazy kitchen island or an incredible custom coffee table. Splurge on a piece that will make every time you see it a joyful moment. Home should bring you solace and joy.” –GARY HUTTON, SAN FRANCISCO

MY DESIGN MANTRA IS, ‘GREEN OVER GRAY.’ INVEST IN HORTICULTURE OVER EXPENSIVE HARDSCAPE MATERIALS LIKE BRICK OR STONE. BEAUTIFULLY COMPOSED AND MULTI-SEASONALLY INTERESTING HORTICULTURE ALWAYS DELIGHTS MORE THAN AN EXPENSIVE DRIVEWAY. ” –DOUGLAS HOERR, CHICAGO

“I’M INSPIRED BY TONY DUQUETTE. HE JUST NAILED IT EVERY TIME WITH HIS LAYERING AND WHIMSICAL THEMES, ALWAYS PLAYFUL YET VERY CHIC, ELEGANT AND FUN. PATTERNS AND USE OF COLOR WERE HIS GENIUS STREAK.” –ANIL KAKAR, MIAMI

THIS PAGE: ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE PHOTO, COURTESY ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE. OPPOSITE: HOERR PHOTO, STEVE HALL/HALL+MERRICK.

“WALLCOVERINGS FEEL VERY NOW— ESPECIALLY WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF EXOTIC MATERIALS LIKE REAL WOOD VENEERS. WOVENS, PAPER-BACKED LINENS, AND SUBTLE METALLICS ADD A LAYER OF COMPLETION AND COMFORT TO THE WALL THAT CAN DEFINE A ROOM AND SERVE AS THE FINAL TOUCH.” –MICHAEL COX, NEW YORK

“For our residential interior design work, we’ve been particularly drawn to Scandinavian style, including light wood flooring, and neutrals accented with pops of color. Many of our projects are located in regions with long winters. By working in a light palette, we create spaces that are always warm, bright and pleasing, even on the grayest winter day.” –JOE MCGUIRE, BOULDER, CO

SPLURGE ON FINISHES, FINISHES, FINISHES! THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE, TOUCH AND FEEL. RICH, APPROPRIATE FINISHES MAKE THE PROJECT. SELECT QUALITY HARDWARE, FLOORING, TILE AND STONE, PLASTERS, WOODS AND PAINTS.” –PAUL WILLIGER, LOS ANGELES

“I’m all about DunnEdwards Lunar Eclipse DE5776 paint color. It’s like the old shutters in Italy. You think they’re black but they’re actually a very deep shade of green— the perfect wall color for a moody room.” –HOLLY OGDEN, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

“We are surrounded by a delicate landscape that was formed by glaciers, volcanoes, ice and rivers. These powerful forces are the show, we merely provide the audience with a comfortable year-round stage to the main attraction.” –GYLES THORNELY, DENVER, CO

“John Saladino is a master of poetic interiors. I am endlessly inspired by his use of texture and exceptional ability to intertwine old and new. John actually trained a number of other highly respected designers, making his influence palpable throughout our industry.” –MARIE FLANIGAN, HOUSTON, TX

–SARA MCCANN, WEST PALM BEACH

IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN WALLPAPER? MANY OF OUR CLIENTS ARE DRAWN TO CLASSIC FURNITURE WITH NEUTRAL COLORS. TO BALANCE THE SPACE, A WALLCOVERING WITH AN INTERESTING PATTERN OR COLOR CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.” –KIM SCODRO, CHICAGO

“Invest in the best general contractor you can afford. A good general contractor will make everyone look good; a bad general contractor cannot be overcome even by the best architects and designers.” –DAVID HAEGELAND, ROLLING MEADOWS, IL

“We’re always inspired by hand-applied decorative wall finishes, and love working with artisans to create special treatments for clients. The hand-finished quality softens new construction and the ability to control the color, tone and activity level is a wonderful way to refine a design.” –MARA MILLER AND JESSE CARRIER, NEW YORK

THIS PAGE: SHIBORI GEO WALLPAPER IN MOSS GREEN, COURTESY REBECCA ATWOOD. OPPOSITE: STRANG PHOTO, CLAUDIA URIBE.

“MY CURRENT FAVORITE COLOR IS FARROW & BALL’S BORROWED LIGHT, WHICH IS THE PALEST BLUISH GRAY. IT IS BEAUTIFUL FOR A BEDROOM CEILING OR A NICE CHANGE FROM WHITE KITCHEN CABINETS WHEN JUST A HINT OF COLOR IS DESIRED.”

THE HIGHEST EXPRESSION OF PLACE COMES WHEN YOU HONOR THE NATURAL ENVIRONS OF A REGION. WE ALWAYS LOOK TO TAKE CUES FROM THE NATURAL SCENES AROUND US.” –KRIS BARKER, CHICAGO

“I love the fact that maximalism—color and bold design—is coming back into play. Layered accessories, colors and textures are fantastic and soulful, and work well as counter plays to Belgian linen.” –JAY JEFFERS, SAN FRANCISCO

“The ideas of the Sarasota School of Architecture, a modernist movement that unfolded on Florida’s west coast during the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, continue to inform our work. That movement was highly respected for its progressive responses to site and climate. We’re committed to advancing and adapting those ideas into a new era.” –MAX STRANG, MIAMI

AITORO APPLIANCE

Aitoro Appliance was founded in 1948, after Anthony Aitoro and his three sons, Vincent, Rudy and Carmine, decided to open a variety store in South Norwalk. Tony Aitoro, Vincent’s son and the company’s current president and CEO, tells how it evolved into a more specific purveyor. “One day, a man pulled up with a Maytag wringer washing machine,” he says. “They had no room to display it in the store, so my dad set it out on the sidewalk, where it quickly sold to a customer passing by. He called the man back and asked him to bring two more washing machines. Just like that, an appliance store was born.” While it has moved locations and expanded operations since those early days, one thing has always formed the essence of Aitoro Appliance: a passion for connecting with clients and offering stellar products. “Customers, community and family come first,” Aitoro says. “That’s why we love helping people transform houses into homes and are continually influenced by product innovations.” Whether traveling to national kitchen and bath shows, visiting brands’ research and development centers, or keeping an eye on up-and-coming kitchen designers, Aitoro and his team make it a daily mission to explore that which is on the horizon in their industry. “Our staff is extremely well educated,” Aitoro says. “We focus on continued training and engagement with our brands, so each team member has unparalleled product knowledge. And, we’re all inspired by the advancements that make for innovations designed to improve our daily lives.”

Tony Aitoro, President and CEO 401 Westport Avenue Norwalk, Connecticut 203.847.2471 info@aitoro.com aitoro.com

Four generations and 70 years later, Aitoro Appliance’s values of quality, customer service and community involvement remain.

Ask the Expert Dream creative project? Aitoro’s 12,000-square-foot showroom is my dream project realized. As technology and products continue to evolve, those advancements will be reflected in our store. Define luxury. It’s anything that makes your daily life easier, so you can spend more time enjoying your family. New technology, like induction cooktops, Advantium ovens and wireless controls, help you to cook better, faster.

The key to life/work balance is? Finding the joy in every day. For me, that’s cooking and being surrounded by loved ones, which is why I value helping our clients navigate this industry.

Aitoro offers customers a glimpse of high-end products, including this luxury, custom-made range from La Cornue. 3. The Monogram pizza oven, as shown here in Aitoro’s Monogram Experience, is the first electric, indoor pizza oven to not require special ventilation. It’s also Tony Aitoro’s personal favorite appliance! 4. Aitoro often hosts charity and community events in its designated Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove kitchen.

AJ MADISON

Upon being asked to discuss the mission at AJ Madison, vice president of marketing Amy Chernoff says, “We are expert appliance matchmakers.” Indeed, whether one wants to shop online, by phone or in a sparkling, well-stocked showroom, the New York-based brand has passionate staff members waiting to point customers to the perfect selection. “Choosing the right appliances for your home can be overwhelming,” Chernoff says. “We strive to make it fun, easy and relaxing.” In order to offer such an uncommonly pleasant process, AJ Madison’s team relentlessly pursues products that boast superior design, performance, reliability and value, and the sourcing happens with every client in mind. Through the addition of its national trade program, AJ Madison has created an avenue for close partnership with designers, architects and builders around the country. As for homeowner clients, Chernoff offers a crucial piece of advice: “Every family is excited about planning and designing a new kitchen, often focusing on the finishes, such as flooring, cabinetry and lighting. But once the project is complete, those finishes typically fade into the background of everyday living and the appliances emerge as the shining stars (or workhorses) of a busy kitchen. Take some time to thoughtfully consider the features that will make family mealtime seamless, efficient and more memorable.”

Amy Chernoff, Vice President of Marketing 3605 13th Avenue Brooklyn, New York 800.570.3355 amy@ajmadison.com ajmadison.com

You’ll live with your appliances every day for years, so it’s important that you’re beyond thrilled with them.

Ask the Expert First project that put your company on the map? With more than 50,000 projects each year, it would be difficult to pick a favorite, but we are still exceptionally proud of our first Viking project with our partners at Park Slope Kitchen Gallery. What inspires you? Creating a home that enhances the whole you: your energy, your peace, your happiness. Ultimately, your kitchen can be an oasis for a thriving body and mind. Most research agrees that a key ingredient in a healthful life is time spent in the kitchen. Where else can you engage all of your senses?

Define luxury. For me, it means a contemporary kitchen filled with appliances that look as good as the professional results I demand. Virtuoso from Viking is the perfect example. It’s the beautiful intersection of form and function.

ARCHITECTS

BROOKS & FALOTICO

“The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.” These words, once uttered by Orson Welles, perfectly describe the philosophy at Brooks & Falotico. “We enjoy the challenge of working within the constraints of difficult building sites, such as waterfront properties with extensive environmental, structural and zoning restrictions, while achieving the client’s aesthetic, budgetary and comfort-oriented goals,” company founder and principal Louise Brooks says. “We also believe that our projects must be collaborative to be successful. We work closely with our clients, contractors, artisans and interior decorators in all stages of a project.” Known for a style that visualizes the transition between traditional and contemporary, Brooks and fellow principal Vincent Falotico point to their primary region of work as a large influence. “The nature of working mostly in Connecticut is that we are designing in neighborhoods where the rest of the homes are most often traditional,” Falotico says. “But more and more, our clients are looking for modern spaces that better suit today’s lifestyles. We love the challenge of designing homes that make sense in their surroundings while still feeling fresh.” Although its concentration is on the Fairfield County area of Connecticut, the firm has also had the opportunity to design ski homes in Aspen, Jackson Hole and Big Sky, and beach houses in places like Bermuda, Palm Beach, Martha’s Vineyard and the Hamptons.

Louise Brooks, Founder and Principal Vincent Falotico, Principal 199 Elm Street, Suite 2 New Canaan, Connecticut 203.966.8440 info@brooksandfalotico.com brooksandfalotico.com

Our favorite part is developing a rapport with the client, gaining their trust and seeing them enjoy the process.

Ask the Expert First project that put your company on the map? The complete renovation and addition (totaling 20,000 square feet) of the former estate of Tom Watson of IBM. What inspires you? In addition to the great span of architecture’s history, we find inspiration in other art forms: furniture design, fashion, textiles, fine art, graphic design, etc. We also find it in our clients’ stories.

What elements characterize your work? We have families of our own, so we understand how a family uses the home. We always think about details and features that could make life easier and more organized. We work hard to keep up with changes in technology and energy efficiency, while using beautiful materials and creating designs that are timeless.

1. This modern, Belgian farmhouse-style home sits on a challenging building site, so the architects thought vertically, creating a spacious home for a family of five. 2. Drawing on its New England location, this coastal home features a stylized take on traditional Shingle-style architecture. The result is a home that fits the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetic while serving the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and modern lifestyle. 3. Back-painted blue glass walls, and lacquered white cabinets and countertops give this kitchen a modern, clean appeal. Stainless-steel appliances and overhead storage recall the sleek utility of professional kitchens. 4. This penthouse in Aspen makes the most of 360-degree mountain views, with oversize windows and a wraparound terrace. 3

In the daily life of Douglas Wright, some happenings, such as talking with colleagues, drawing, painting and listening to music, are constants. But within each of these unique moments there exists variety—in inspirations gleaned, plans made and visions brought to fruition. This is what continues to impassion Wright, who has practiced architecture for nearly three decades. Whether an apartment or a house, an Art Deco masterpiece or one that balances traditional and modern vernaculars, each project lends new experiences, and thus more fervor, to his outlook on the craft. “Gaining opportunities to do larger, more complex work is always satisfying,” says Wright, founder of Douglas C. Wright Architects. “Meeting personal creative milestones, incorporating more of my own artwork into presentations, and working with visionary clients to investigate materials, shapes and spaces that interest me and my team, has also been gratifying.” In line with their drive to balance the unparalleled quality of classicism with the innovative thinking of more modern lexicons, Wright and his team build their philosophy into every endeavor. “Within a broad spectrum of methods and approaches, we create architecture that expresses our clients’ values and ideals, and meets their needs and lifestyle,” Wright says. “We strive to combine the very real, pragmatic needs of modern living with our historic architectural influences.”

We listen for the architectural ideas in our clients’ aspirations and dreams. Listening is important.

Ask the Expert 1

Key influences in your work? I love the American architecture of ideas— early Shingle-style houses that are the essence of summer, but nod to formality with classical details; Federal architecture, with its novel use of classicism; and then, of course, our more recent ancestors, like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn and Robert Venturi, nearly all of whom were trained in classical architecture initially. Tips for clients to make the design experience more rewarding? Talk freely and openly. No idea is unworthy of consideration. Express the feeling you want a place to have, your likes and dislikes, and what inspires you.

Dream creative project? I want to design a large Arts and Crafts-style house with walk-in fireplaces, iron hardware, and a lot of wood and decorative plaster.

JENNIFER POST DESIGN

Catering to the affluent cities of New York, Miami, Palm Beach and Los Angeles, award-winning designer Jennifer Post says her clientele knows her style and appreciates her design philosophy. “We work carefully with high-end, sophisticated and high-energy clients to ensure their homes are a reflection of their lifestyles,” says Post, who designs for high-power executives, young families and empty nesters on everything from pieds-à-terre to 10,000-square-foot homes. Since its founding in 1995, Jennifer Post Design has completed projects nationally and internationally, and evolved into one of the top interior architectural and design firms, even offering full-scale construction management and interior selections. Described as “most progressive,” Post looks to the light and feel of each space for inspiration, and designs by architect Mies van der Rohe’s famous adage, “less is more.” “Simplicity is the key to successful interior design,” she says. Repeatedly included on top industry design lists for the past 20 years, Post has clearly found her formula for design success. “The level of trust clients grant me to develop their vision—and their reliance upon me to execute that vision—are my greatest compliments,” she says. “I want my clients to appreciate their lives more after my work is done.”

SHOPE RENO WHARTON

While the architectural firm of Shope Reno Wharton has completed many Shingle-style estates along the Eastern Seaboard—a theme chosen for its design diversity and sculptural possibilities–its reach has grown geographically over the years, opening the doors to all aesthetics. “But we have one rule,” principal Jerry Hupy says. “Whatever style it is, do it well!” And that they do. Drawing from the tenants of traditional and classical design, Hupy and his team marry these concepts with modern principles utilizing open floor plans and robust fenestration. “The focus on a building’s character is a hallmark of our work,” principal Michael McClung says. “Our structures are three-dimensional sculptural expressions, with carefully considered materiality and balance.” An important factor in those ‘expressions’ is the interactive process between SRW and its clients, who Hupy describes as “smart, inquisitive and driven. Each client articulates their desires differently, and it is a valuable conversation when both parties listen and react.” With completed projects in remote islands off the coast of Maine, to suburban communities and western ski towns, SRW consistently focuses its efforts on creating buildings with character. “The creative process is unique for each project with differing tastes, styles, locations and challenges,” principal Arthur Hanlon says. “At SRW, we start with the schematics, which are always a favorite because the possibilities are numerous and the responses quickly explore the many options.” And exploring options is what SRW is all about. “It’s an exciting time; building technology is ever-changing, and lifestyles are evolving,” Hupy says. “We are enthusiastic about the future.”

TRUMBULL ARCHITECTS

With a roster of past clients that includes Mary Tyler Moore, Yo-Yo Ma and Liam Neeson, and projects published in leading design magazines throughout the years, Trumbull Architects appears as if it must have something special up its sleeves. In fact, it does. Rather than the signature designs one might expect from a firm that has garnered such renown, partners Debra Wassman and Jonathan Lanman are known for their use of vernacular inspirations. This dedication to locality and sustainability is what drew such an impressive list of persons to Trumbull’s doors, and it’s what continues to grow the firm’s client base. “We are not self-focused architects trying to create a monument to our own design style,” Wassman says. “We are very focused on historical materials, a passive energy approach implementing cross ventilation, orientations that use the sun and, most importantly, siting a house to fit into its landscape. And of course, the client’s preferences are weaved in along the way. “We listen to the client’s wish list carefully, to lead them on a journey through a project that turns their ideas into homes they love,” Lanman says. “Each of our projects aspires to be driven by the owner’s desires, budget, site and program. Although this means they are often very different stylistically, proportion and scale are always consistent with our design sensibilities.” When not creating stunning residential structures, Lanman can be found sculpting architectural constructions, and Wassman is likely roaming Italy with watercolors in hand.

Describe your creative process and favorite part of it. Wassman: I like the initial concept phase. It is here where you get to distill all the elements that are presented and use your architectural skills to pull them together. Jonathan really shines in his beautiful detailing. Although we both do every aspect of a job, we collaborate, discuss and share ideas throughout. Tips for clients to make the design experience more rewarding? We ask them to show us images of houses they like and share an emotional wish list, which would include insights like ‘I like to wake up to the sun,’ or ‘The living room should feel cozy.’”

The key to life/work balance is? Do what you love every day. You will not love every part of what you do every day, but as a whole, if you follow your passion it never feels like a job.

DESIGNLUSH

Founded as a platform for showcasing the work of talented and avant-garde artists, architects and designers, Designlush is constantly evolving as the industry opens to new ideas and innovations. Since starting out with its signature DL Collection and a handful of represented artists on display, the company has expanded to boast two dedicated gallery collections, representing more than 30 artists and vendors from around the world. As the showroom offering has developed, so, in parallel, have the interior services. Every step along the way has been guided by the vision of principal Stephen Mitchell, who says innovation, texture, layering and light are all key influences in both his curation and design process. He approaches each through what he calls “design meditation.” “It exists in a realm of complete possibility and is only limited by imagination,” he says, elaborating on the concept. “There are no budgets, egos, conflicts or design limitations. It’s just me with my thoughts. From there, I begin to isolate, assess and execute what is possible.” The company as a whole strives to give a platform and voice to established and up-and-coming talent alike, while providing clients with beautiful furnishings and interiors. “We want to offer livable luxury through a unique and passionately selected collection of goods from around the world.”

SCHWARTZ DESIGN SHOWROOM

When Morris Schwartz opened his eponymous showroom more than 70 years ago, no one could have predicted that the New Jersey-based business would eventually transcend three generations, expand to two locations and garner a reputation as one of the most comprehensive trade-only interiors showrooms in the Tri-State Area. Fast forward to 2019, and that sums up Schwartz Design Showroom—a destination known for collaborating with some of the most coveted vendors in the design industry to offer a dynamic selection of fine furniture, lighting, decorative accessories and rugs. Under the stewardship of thirdgeneration CEO and owner Alexis Varbero (who left a high-profile career with Bobbi Brown cosmetics to return to the family business), the brand has broken into new markets by opening its Connecticut showroom and constantly adding to its roster of cutting-edge manufacturers. In addition to quality furnishings, Varbero credits transparency and customer service as cornerstones of the brand’s success. This is partially attributed to a knowledgeable, friendly staff and a personalized approach to each project. Acting as each client’s personal design team, showroom associates assist in flawlessly executing every phase, from research to ordering, and all the way through to the finished product. The staff members’ meticulous attention to detail stems from an unrelenting passion for helping designers achieve their goals. “Customer service is our highest priority. We only work with interior designers; we strive to service them as they service their clients,” Varbero explains. “I love nothing more than partnering with a designer and watching as the process unfolds.”

What inspires you? Our clients, the interior designers, constantly inspire us. Helping them grow their business is enthralling. Favorite part of your job? Partnership is imperative. I love working on all the beautiful projects and I equally love being there and supporting the designers when things get difficult.

LINDA RUDERMAN INTERIORS

“Educated, sophisticated and well-traveled with a discerning eye”—an apt description of designer Linda Ruderman’s clients, who for 30 years, have looked to her expertise to create timeless, classic interiors for modern living. “My passion for the craft, along with my solid design principles, allows me to create rooms with a purpose and, most importantly, livability for today’s modern families,” says Ruderman, owner and president of her renown firm, Linda Ruderman Interiors. Coast to coast, LRI’s residential and commercial projects showcase her keen attention to detail and ability to seamlessly reinterpret classic style. While relationships, communication and a formulaic creative process are key to the firm’s success, the pièce de résistance for Ruderman is “bringing design dreams into reality,” she says. “Every project and interior space must reflect my client’s taste and needs.” Looking at the firm’s vast portfolio, Ruderman attests her greatest success was the completion of a Moorish compound in Manalapan, Florida. Tasked with the full renovation, LRI spent two years on the 30,000-squarefoot residence, complete with a 5,000-square-foot guesthouse, eight bedrooms and 12 baths of oceanfront luxury. Projects the firm is currently working on include a Greenwich backcountry Georgian estate, a Belle Haven renovation, a New York City duplex on the Upper East Side, a high-rise condominium in South Beach and a Regency-style house along the Intracoastal in Palm Beach. No matter the style or location, from suburb to big city, LRI is equipped to successfully complete any project.

RUSSELL RICCARDI ARCHITECT

Renowned architect Russell Riccardi was educated as a modernist at Cornell University, but he’s made his name through a carefully measured branching out. After graduating and training within the offices of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Peter Marino and Kohn Pedersen Fox, Riccardi opened his own firm, Russell Riccardi Architect, in 1987. Since then, he and his team have become known for residences that exude a strong sense of elegance, quality, detail and spatial sensibility, regardless of their aesthetic category. “We work in a variety of styles and focus on the requirements of each client, project and context,” Riccardi says. “Our projects seamlessly integrate architecture, landscape and interior design.” The final of these elements is often accomplished in collaboration with his wife, interior designer Erica Millar. In fact, cohesive teamwork is a cornerstone at Russell Riccardi Architect. “Our firm is very fluid and continually evolving,” Riccardi says. “We never believe there is only one solution to any given problem or project. My favorite part of the process is the collaboration with colleagues, other professionals and craftspeople.” From the first freestanding home in the Hamptons to an apartment renovation in Paris, the portfolio Riccardi has amassed is rife with impressive projects. They’ll soon be joined by an apartment at the Hotel Des Artistes, one of the firm’s upcoming endeavors. It will no doubt showcase the attention to detail, continuity of design motifs and continuous flow between spaces for which Russell Riccardi Architect is repeatedly lauded.

DANIEL SCUDERI FINE CUSTOM FURNITURE

At Daniel Scuderi Fine Custom Furniture, the creative process always starts with the client’s idea. “They control the creation of the furniture,” company president Daniel Scuderi says. Working closely with interior designers and architects, the custom furniture and accessories craftsman and his team strive to perfect the “wow” factor of each request, combining vision with a collaborative, open-minded process. “We’re proud of not having a ‘style,’” Scuderi says. “Our products have an ever-changing aesthetic, because our clients’ needs are always different.” Whether creating set pieces for television shows the likes of Ray Donovan and Madam Secretary, or designing exquisite contemporary masterworks for a Manhattan penthouse, the artisans at Daniel Scuderi continue to pursue growth, in their craft and client base. Both have certainly expanded since the firm’s first project 38 years ago, when interior designer Robert Metzger commissioned its work. From then till now, the Scuderi’s sense of accomplishment has relied on meeting one goal: client satisfaction. “The reveal is the best part, and knowing that our client feels their vision has been perfectly executed is our greatest success,” he says. “It’s a feeling that never gets old.” Pairing this dedication to the client’s needs with a fixation on high-quality standards, the team at Daniel Scuderi Fine Custom Furniture helps design pros achieve their own clients’ dreams without compromise—the definition, Scuderi says, of luxury.

Always perform at the highest level, be fully transparent and honest, and strive constantly for quality—these are the tenets by which home builder and remodeler M.C. Gerosa was founded and continues to work. The firm was created by Michael Gerosa, who discovered his own fervor for the careful craft of home building while working summer jobs in construction. “I never would have imagined that I’d start a company and build it to where we are today,” he says. “I love the problem solving that goes into every project. It keeps me thinking outside the norm.” It’s for this reason that Gerosa frequently works with contemporary residences, which he says often require more creative solutions. Still, M.C. Gerosa’s portfolio speaks to a team that has masterfully executed multiple styles of design. “We have the ability to adapt, and we’ve successfully completed homes in many aesthetics and in various markets,” Gerosa says. “Although it goes much deeper than this, I do believe that a successful project is one that is completed safely, within an expected time frame and within budget, which is what we always endeavor to accomplish as we perfect the stylistic parameters.” Throughout it all, Gerosa and his team keep the client’s wants and needs top of mind, hoping to create for each a personal sense of luxury, as they see it. “As it relates to the home, I think luxury can be achieved through quality,” Gerosa says. “It doesn’t have to be about the amount of money spent.”

LINHERR HOLLINGSWORTH, LLC

Influenced by a childhood surrounded by the elegant, effortless style of her parents, and later, a career in fashion under the tutelage of fashion icons Adrienne Vittadini and Eli Tahari, there was a certain inevitability that Linherr Hollingsworth would one day enter the world of luxury interior design. Her design studio, a former shovel factory in Norwalk, Connecticut, exudes the subtle sophistication and uncontrived elegance for which she is known. “My belief is that our spaces should have a free-spirited yet refined vibe, and that’s reflected in my love of all that is beautiful and naturally, perfectly imperfect,” she says. Hollingsworth’s work is often a study in contrast and juxtaposition: hard and soft, polished and honed, reflective and absorbent, restrained and elaborate, ethereal and edgy. “I’m constantly seeking to create just the right tension between materials ... a play between dueling contrasts ... simplicity with an edge versus strength with an air of femininity,” she says. The highly creative and reflective designer, whose work centers on evoking curiosity, emotion and inspiration, is acutely aware of the influential role her work plays in shaping a family’s quality of life. This responsibility remains a powerful, motivating force in her practice. “Our initial influence is driven by the client and their desired function of a space,” she explains. “We always seek to create interiors that inspire; we’re driven by the artful process of delivering individually unique interiors with an element of the unexpected, something soulful to make one stop and think. Above all else, we create interiors that speak to my innate belief of living well in low-key luxury.”

Type of work and style your firm is most known for? Our interiors are described as refined with a subtle, understated glamour. They present a sense of calm and timelessness. Always striving to create work that is impeccably detailed, fresh and fluid, we use specific, hand-chosen materials to layer into our spaces.

A SIMPLE LIGHT-FILLED APARTMENT IN GREENWICH VILLAGE IS TRANSFORMED INTO A CASUALLY ELEGANT RESIDENCE. WRITTEN BY TATE GUNNERSON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARK ROSKAMS

Designer Amie Weitzman installed track lighting from Spot on Lighting to set the mood in this Greenwich Village home’s living room, which is furnished with a pair of vintage armchairs, matching sofas from Herman Miller (one shown) and leather stools with riveted slings from Pascal Boyer Gallery. The rug is from Marc Phillips Rugs.

n an ever-changing city like New York, visiting a once familiar neighborhood can feel as adventurous as it does nostalgic. It was that mix of emotions that inspired designer Amie Weitzman and her husband, David Adler, to relocate from their Upper West Side brownstone to Greenwich Village, where they met decades earlier. When they found a light-filled apartment with Park Avenue dimensions, they put in an offer later that day. “It was a blank slate, and for Amie, that’s perfect,” David says. “She can make any space beautiful.” The apartment is a far cry from the couple’s former multi-story abode, which had old flooring and original handcrafted moldings. But Weitzman, who spent years as a fashion and textile designer before founding her own design firm, knew the right layers would add the requisite character. “There are classical references, but it’s not too traditional,” Weitzman says of the space. “It was the perfect fit for me to put my style into it.” That style—which celebrates mixing textures—is evident immediately upon entering. In the front foyer, a vintage brass chandelier with black-and-white shades illuminates built-in wooden cabinetry with leather pulls and open shelving atop a sisal rug. “It’s not dressy or uptight,” Weitzman says. “Everything is open-grain, functional and utterly simple.” Patterned wallcovering adds another dimension and creates an interesting backdrop for a black bench and an eclectic collection of artwork. Another wallcovering, this one a light-gray faux grass cloth, plays a subtler role in the main living areas, where it adds depth and character to the formerly plain white walls. For additional warmth, Weitzman had general contractor Josh Wiener install wooden double barn doors on iron hardware, allowing the more intimate library to be closed off from the formal living and dining areas. “I wanted almost a craftsman or country influence,” she explains.

The office is easily transformed into a guest room with a Ligne Roset convertible sectional upholstered in Ligne Roset fabric. A bright ottoman from Dune sets off the neutral tones of the Crosby Street Studios rug and the wallpaper from Aesthetics Wallcoverings. A Trans-Luxe wall lamp shines light on a gallery wall.

In a corner of the dining room, Gravel Gray paint by Benjamin Moore makes a dramatic backdrop for a collection of artwork that includes pieces by Shelley Adler, Ruth Adler and Ofri Cnaani from Meislin Projects. One of a pair, the custom cabinet is from Elephants Custom Furniture.

The built-in oak cabinetry flanking the fireplace in the library is likewise very tailored. Wiener and his team created several mock-ups of different woods and stains, fabricating the final selection at his shop in the Bronx. The builder also implemented Weitzman and consultant Wald Studio’s lighting plan. “Amie chose a lot of interesting fixtures,” says Wiener. “The lighting is very soft and romantic. We reframed ceilings and moved ductwork, which you can’t do in a prewar building. There was a lot of potential in this place.” In the formal living area, a mix of track lighting and new recessed cans illuminate a low-slung sofa and vintage chairs recovered in charcoal velvet around a bleached oak cocktail table. “Lighting is not just important, it’s everything,” Weitzman says. “Well-lit rooms are rooms you want to be in.” A modern fixture in the adjacent dining area, she notes, creates a soft glow over the long wooden table, which is surrounded by Wishbone chairs and a plush upholstered bench. “It has a living room

effect, and that’s what I wanted,” Weitzman says, noting that people will linger there for hours after dinner. A fireplace adds to the romantic ambience. Unimpressed with its original stucco finish, Weitzman covered it with dark Venetian plaster and painted the wall behind it to match. “I needed something dramatic, and it’s a great backdrop for my black-and-white art,” she explains. The contrasting color scheme carries into the kitchen, where black furnishings, including a pair of drum-shaped aluminum pendants, juxtapose the simple white countertops, backsplash and cabinetry, which has flush-faced doors and no hardware. “There’s nothing to distract the eye,” Weitzman says. A painter herself, Weitzman has filled the entire apartment with both her own artwork and that of others. In the master suite, a large blue painting by her sister-in-law, Shelley Adler, pops against the room’s pale gray walls, and a smaller work by the designer does the same in the open seating area, which features neutral furnishings and a mix of accent

tables. “Tables are little pieces of architecture,” Weitzman observes. “It’s all about the shape and movement.” The gray hues of the master bedroom carry into a bedroom-turned-office. A sumptuous corner sectional sofa becomes a king-size bed when placed side by side, allowing the space to function well for the couple alone or as a guest suite. David and Weitzman can often be found working at his-and-hers desks, where she enjoys painting. “It’s one of my favorite rooms,” Weitzman says.

And Greenwich Village continues to be one of her favorite neighborhoods. After living uptown for so many years, the couple is overjoyed to live downtown again. There’s an energy about it, Weitzman says, a buzz in the air. The designer especially enjoys seeing young students walking to their classes at her alma mater, Parsons School of Design, just as she did many moons ago. “There’s something circular about it,” she explains. “It’s everything I’ve always wanted, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Warming Trend CLEVER SCALING AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN MAKE A LARGE HOUSE IN DARIEN FEEL RELAXED AND WELCOMING. WRITTEN BY LIZ ARNOLD / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANE BEILES

In this Darien residence built by Ryan Fletcher, a custom Lancaster sectional and a Bernhardt low table anchor the family room. Tactile fabrics in soft neutrals—pillows covered in Romo and Osborne & Little, CB2 boiledwool ottomans, a striped herringbone carpet from Palace Rug—lend a warm, welcoming feel. A sheer fabric from Robert Allen filters in natural light.

t’s a very deceiving house,” builder Ryan Fletcher says of a two-and-a-half story, five-bedroom Darien residence designed by architect Robert Cardello and his project manager, David A. Lapierre. “It doesn’t look very big—but it is.” Conceived for an active couple in their 40s and their three young children, the cedar-shingle home was intended to be family-friendly yet enjoyable and sophisticated for adults, too. Not an unusual goal, except for one special request: an expansive and flat rear lawn, so that the husband, a hockey enthusiast who works in finance, could set up a temporary ice rink in the winter. This meant that the home, which is situated on a slope 20 feet above the road, needed to be built relatively close to the street. “I didn’t want it to be a huge mass that looms over the road,” says Cardello. So he came up with the discreet design for a gambrel roof, which drops the roofline down to the first floor. “It gives it a friendly aesthetic,” he says. Which is exactly what the homeowners wanted. “They didn’t want an ostentatious box Colonial; they wanted more of a cape style,” says Fletcher, who was brought onto the project by a mutual friend of the wife, a board member of a non-profit who works in educational technology. “It fits who they are as people.” A conventional layout unfolds indoors, with a doubleheight entry, main living areas on the first floor, bedrooms on the second and an open plan for the basement—for indoor hockey practice, of course. For the interiors, Fletcher brought on Tina Anastasia, who devised a plan for light-filled rooms done in a beachy palette at the request of the wife, a native of the Southeast. “I’ll never get used to the long, dark winters,” she says. “I wanted it to feel a little coastal, even if we’re hitting a record number of snow days.” Anastasia laid down warm grays and beiges, plus a range of soft blues in varying hues. There is “just a touch” of the beach influence, she explains. “It’s implied—not too literal and not strict.” The design team added stained wood to soften crisper painted pieces, such as in the kitchen, where a glossy white shiplap was selected for the ceiling and quartzite tops the stainedgray wood island. Soft gray wood continues on the round kitchen table and overhead on beams in the adjacent family room in a shade that plays nicely off the stones of the fire surround. Throughout, Fletcher treated white-oak flooring with an oil-based finish, lending it a natural luster.

The dining room continues the subtle palette with its L&M Custom Carpets wool rug and Four Hands dining chairs, which were reupholstered by Tudor House Furniture Co. The dark tones of the custom table from Mortise & Tenon in Los Angeles, the distressedmetal cabinet from Dovetail in Los Angeles and the Quoizel lighting are a nice counterbalance.

The butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantry features distressed cabinetry by Fletcher and a cool Phillip Jeffries linen wallcovering with silvery rivets that pick up the metal touches in the nearby dining room. The accessories are by Zodax.

A breezy spot for casual dining, the breakfast room features a Universal Furniture dining table with a Greystone finish and steel base paired with Zuo Modern chairs upholstered by Tudor House Furniture Co. in Romo fabric. The polished-nickel Regina Andrew pendant also appears in the kitchen.

The palette translated to relaxed furnishings and inviting spaces in monochromatic tones that help bring the feel of the interiors down to scale. In the family room, pale gray walls envelop the plush dark-gray sectional stacked with an array of pillows. Upstairs, cream and seafoam green soothe the master, where a photograph of crashing waves evokes the sounds of the shore. While the residents wanted a designated dining room and a living room, they didn’t want anything to feel off limits. To that end, Anastasia chose a colorful poppy wallcovering for the hall between the family room and the living room that feels like an invitation to enter. “It’s an interesting, deep hallway, so it draws you in,” she says. Quarter-sectionals in the living room offer less formal seating perfect for conversation.

More casual seating is offered in the kitchen, where Artistic Frame custom counter stools in Romo metallic faux leather pull up to the counter. Regina Andrew light fixtures add a sleek, contemporary finish to the mix of soft, stained or painted woods and the oiled floor.

Natural, organic texture in a guest room is present in the Serena & Lily bed with a woven frame, Bed Bath & Beyond linens and the woven-fiber Made Goods light fixture overhead, while the Resource Decor chair injects a dose of color. A pair of Four Hands bedside lamps top Mr. Brown nightstands.

The dining room exhibits another technique for friendly formality that diminishes the appearance of size. The clients wanted a large dining table, but they didn’t want it to look imposing. A custom table with a splayed-metal base helped minimize its mass, and a stained-wood surface provided a softer sensibility. Dining chairs with cut-out backs, upholstered in velvet with nailhead detailing, “help break up the number of chairs,” the designer says. Her continued layers of dark metal—a black metal sideboard, a geometric bronze pendant light—make an otherwise dressy table look “unique and comfortable.” With the family settled in, the wife reflects on the design and how they live in it. “I like that the home is livable but still beautiful,” she says. She describes a typical Saturday morning making breakfast in the kitchen, with the kids playing at the counter or making pillow forts with the sofa cushions. At night, they love to do movie night on the big sectional. “There’s enough room for everyone to have their own spot,” she says. It might be a big house but, just as intended, it still feels very much like a home.

A Phillip Jeffries wallcovering wraps the powder room, where Visual Comfort polished-nickel sconces and an Uttermost mirror with a beaded frame add decorative contrast. The blue vase is from Sagebrook Home.

TRUE to FORM A WOODWORKER IN UPSTATE NEW YORK CREATES ART THAT IS BOTH DECORATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. WRITTEN BY MIKKI BRAMMER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DEBORAH DEGRAFFENREID

oshua Vogel believes in pieces that last. And in his Kingston, New Yorkbased studio, that’s exactly what he is busy creating, in the form of furniture, sculptural wood turnings and tabletop accessories—all from 100 percent domestically sourced, sustainable hardwood, using traditional techniques. “I believe heavily in the idea of a form language,” the craftsman says of his process. “So I might carve a hundred spoons to understand what the form is. But I also love the notion of limits. When does something start becoming a spoon and when does it stop? The idea that something can become less functional and more gestural opens up questions: What can the material do? What is it that the wood wants to become?” Vogel first encountered woodworking while studying architecture at the University of Oregon Craft Center. He landed a job in the wood shop on campus, which, he laughs, “kind of derailed my education.” Frustrated by the largely abstract, drawn-out nature of architecture, Vogel found satisfaction with the way furniture design allowed him to instantly solve a problem. “Will it break? Let’s test it; jump up and down on it,” he posits. “I started to play a lot with shop work and design that would fit inside of a room rather than designing houses or rooms themselves.” It was also in that wood shop that Vogel met fellow craftsman Tyler Hays, with whom, years

later, he cofounded the handcrafted furniture company BDDW in New York City. “Tyler and I had a really interesting creative life together,” he reflects. “I think we inspired each other to keep going and persevere past what would reasonably make sense business-wise.” But eventually the duo’s creative visions diverged and Vogel realized that city life wasn’t for him. He left BDDW to start his own workshop in the Catskills alongside his wife, Kelly Zaneto. “I wanted to begin with the very basic building blocks again and grow the business but at the same time express myself and what it was that I wanted to say, starting with a few small things.” He also was determined to prove that it could all be done in-house, with no outsourcing. What originated as a small operation creating sculptural wood turnings and cutting-board oil has evolved into two successful businesses: Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. and Joshua Vogel. Though both sell furniture, Blackcreek focuses primarily on functional pieces, while the Joshua Vogel brand is more expressive and reflective of the man himself. “To me, Blackcreek is a collective work,” he explains. “I feel really connected to this idea that the craftspeople who are cutting the wood are as responsible for the product as I am. But the Joshua Vogel side gives me a little more of that gestural or poetic license. I can just say, ‘I don’t know what that’s for,’ and that’s okay.”

“THE IDEA THAT SOMETHING CAN BECOME LESS FUNCTIONAL AND MORE GESTURAL OPENS UP QUESTIONS.”

INTERIOR DESIGN / UMA STEWART, UMA STEWART INTERIORS AND LIFESTYLE

Designer Uma Stewart took advantage of her clients’ rectangular living room by creating various seating arrangements that encourage conversation. A distressed Bernhardt leather bench with channel tufting and a sleek metal frame serves as a segue between the white Caracole sofa covered in a Glant Textiles fabric and two matching ottomans by Kathy Kuo Home.

am and Jenny Khichi weren’t looking to move. The couple, who lived in Westfield, New Jersey, were happy with their current home. But when a circa-1870 Victorian stunner they’d been eyeing for the past several years went on the market, they knew they had to take a peek inside. “We’ve always loved the architecture,” says Sam. It took one visit to the property before the Khichis made an offer. Though the couple was smitten with the home’s original bones and architectural details, its finishes and palette were dated and dark. “One of the reasons we fell in love with the house was that it has a great energy,” explains Sam. “There’s a vibrancy to it, like it was an old soul, and we wanted to keep that feeling but update it.” To help them achieve a look that combined their love of color, pattern and texture influenced by Sam’s Indian culture, the Khichis enlisted the help of designer Uma Stewart. “They really wanted to marry the old with the new but put a personal touch on it,” she says. “It was about respecting the character and the Old World charm of the home while instilling a more modern feel to the design.” With that in mind, Stewart went to work pulling together fresh textures and furniture with traditional elements to complement the existing architectural details. She began in the entryway; the long corridor, which runs from the front door to the back of the home, was in need of a complete face-lift. “It was pretty uninspiring,” she recalls. “In a hallway that dark, neutral walls can make a space feel dingy.” To help brighten it and add interest, she used a linear series of dramatic light fixtures with glass detailing reminiscent of Indian design elements. “I really wanted to set the stage with the lighting and focus on that before addressing the walls,” she says. “The light fixtures are the centerpiece.”

LUXESOURCE.COM / 281

Above: An all-white living room served as a blank canvas for Stewart, who layered in colorful artwork by Montclair, New Jersey-based artist Ariana Hoffman to complement the tufted gray velvet Baker tuxedo sofa from Schwartz Design Showroom. An antique brass floor lamp from Visual Comfort and a hand-knotted wool-and-silk rug from S&H Rugs complete the look. Opposite: Homeowners Jennifer and Sam Khichi wanted to subtly incorporate Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indian background into the interior design, so Stewart sourced fabrics from India and used them as throw pillows and as a blanket in the living room. A glass-plate Mr. Brown chandelier and a Thayer Coggin burl wood coffee table with a brass metal frame add a dose of modernity to the space. The wood-frame Palecek armchairs are upholstered in Romo fabric.

LUXESOURCE.COM / 283

Opposite: The Khichis purchased the previous owners’ custom-made dining room table and chairs but were unsure if they would work with a more transitional interior design scheme. Stewart, however, fell in love with the pieces, knowing they would lend a wow factor to the room. She embraced the traditional lines and added a Ralph Lauren crystal chandelier from Visual Comfort and custom draperies in a Holland & Sherry wool fabric. Below: The dining room also includes nods to Sam’s Indian heritage. The Cole & Son wallpaper’s subtle print is suggestive of traditional Indian patterns. Designed after salvaged doorways from Rajasthan, where Sam’s family is from, the mirror is from Made Goods. Brass-and-crystal stem sconces from Decorative Crafts and blue pottery from Williams-Sonoma Home complement the traditional pieces.

The previous homeowners had renovated the once dark and dated kitchen, and both Sam and Jenny fell in love with how light and bright the room was. “We love how the old blends with the new in this kitchen,” says Jenny. The modern counter stools with metal detailing are from CB2.

Sky-blue grass cloth imparts texture as well as a dose of much-needed color. Framed artwork from Rajasthan, where Sam’s family is from, lends a personal touch. Stewart, who had recently visited India, explains, “Sam and Jenny didn’t want an overwhelmingly Indian feel, so this was a great opportunity to add a touch of that to the home.” In the adjacent study, the designer took more liberty by nudging the couple outside their comfort zone. “The homeowners’ style skewed a touch more traditional than modern,” she says. “But I really wanted them to see what could be achieved in a room as warm and welcoming as the study. I knew that for them to get their heads around a color, it would need to feel different enough from what was already there.” To achieve this, Stewart painted the existing paneling and walls a sleek gray with a hint of blue to accent the grass cloth in the adjacent entryway. A new carpet complements the olive-green velvet sofa. “I wanted to bring in the tones and patterns that you often see in Indian architecture and design,” she says of the dramatic shade of the sofa. “I wanted it to be very rich and regal.” Nearby, the living room “was an odd yellow,” says Stewart, but the designer opted to take a different approach than she had in the study and entryway. “I like to have contrasting spaces that are lighter and darker, colorful and neutral,” she says. “In such a big room, doing a dark color—or any color, really—can be overwhelming. White just felt like the best fit.” Textured fabrics in varying shades and patterns that Stewart sourced from India add depth to the overall look. LUXESOURCE.COM / 287

Opposite: Stewart opted for a steel-gray paintâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Wall Street by Benjamin Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on the walls of the study. A Vanguard sofa swathed in a bold green velvet Kravet fabric works well with the Vanguard swivel armchairs in cognac leather and the wood-frame coffee table with Danish midcentury styling, also from Vanguard. Below: The long, narrow entryway was an uninspiring beige, so Stewart added sky-blue grass cloth by Phillip Jeffries to enhance the traditional millwork and crown molding. Mercury glass lanterns from Currey & Company coupled with framed artwork Stewart found in Rajasthan create a linear design to draw the eye the full length of the space. A vintage runner from ABC Carpet & Home softens the look.

LUXESOURCE.COM / 289

The Khichis used their existing outdoor furniture from Frontgate to furnish their open-air entertaining and lounge area.

The layering continued in the dining room. The Khichis purchased the previous owners’ dining room table and chairs, custom pieces that are traditional in scale and detail. “Sam and Jenny weren’t sure if the furniture fit the home’s modernized style,” says Stewart. “But as soon as I saw it I thought, ‘This has the potential to become a dream dining room.’ We just had to do something that would complement pieces that are traditional but would look sharp and current.” Here, Stewart opted for a wallpaper reminiscent of Indian designs. “I was looking for something that felt traditional but was streamlined,”

she says. “This pattern felt as though it was keeping with the Victorian feel of the home but also modernizing it.” A mirror from Rajasthan featuring carved-wood Indian details is complemented by a traditional chandelier. Overall, Stewart was able to pull together the Khichis’ love for old with their desire for new without sacrificing comfort and practicality. “Nothing in this home could be so precious that people can’t enjoy parts of it,” says Jenny. “What Uma did is create a home that’s meant to be lived in and really represents who we are as a family.”

While the couple was drawn to the traditional bones of the circa-1870 Victorian home, the façade was redesigned by architect David Bailey of Forefront Designs, LLC.
