BREATHING ROOM A 1911 Rye farmhouse is transformed into a home made for a 21st-century family, complete with open spaces and a multitude of areas for both adults and kids to play. Written by Christine DeOrio / Photography by Amanda Kirkpatrick
ON THE COVER: For this drama-infused SoHo apartment, interior designer Richard Mishaan designed a living room bar with finished wirebrushed oak shelves and an illuminated onyx top. Red James Mont stools from Wright add to the playful vibe. A glimpse into the kitchen’s breakfast area behind it reveals a Cassina table surrounded by chairs reupholstered in Kravet faux leather.

WILLIAMSBURG, THE 50’S & INTARSIO: Cesar’s new project, designed by Garcia Cumini, consists of a structure made up of three, distinct elements that interact with each other: Williamsburg, The 50’s and Intarsio. A complete, innovative kitchen in which each part is in perfect harmony with, and completes, the other while retaining its own unique functions and individuality. Williamsburg is a central working area, an authentic work island and the focus of this arrangement. The project is enhanced by The 50’s, a PDGH RYHU YHUVLRQ RI WKH oIWLHV ERRNFDVH in a modern key. The third novelty in this project is Intarsio. This system has been designed to detract from the geometric shape of the doors, primarily using the direction of the wood grain to change the perception of their dimensions. design by GARCIA CUMINI

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

EVOLUTION
INFLUENCED BY THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS, STATE-SIDE AND ABROAD, FIVE CREATIVES ARE EVOLVING THE DEFINITION OF AMERICANMADE FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES. WRITTEN BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE
W
hether their styles are historically referential or avant-garde, independent makers across the country offer a quality of design and innovation that stands on its own—one that speaks to a distinct spirit and pride of being locally produced and manufactured. These talents hail from different backgrounds and work within varying mediums, but share common ideals about craftmanship and artisanal values, which are redefining what it means to be American made.
Inspired by the great American woodworker, furniture maker and architect George Nakashima, Jonah Meyer designed Sawkille Co.’s Minna chair (left), Rainbow chair (right) and Orbit table (bottom left) with form and function in mind.
▲ SAWKILLE
Growing up in rural Pennsylvania with parents who were both involved in the arts, Jonah Meyer was drawn to a profession involving artistry and craftsmanship. Surrounded by a traditional landscape and instilled with a hands-on approach during his childhood, Meyer found himself continually crafting something new and often practical. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1993, he moved to the Catskills, opened a studio—which later became Sawkille Co.—and began making chairs, a self-admitted obsession. “It was always something I did on the side, and I consider it the ultimate challenge,” says Meyer. “Chair mechanics should balance cool design and ergonomics.” Working primarily with wood out of his Kingston, New York, studio, his process is as uncomplicated as the raw materials he uses by steering clear of computer programs and opting to sketch ideas the old-fashioned way. Next, he works with whatever is available at his fingertips—often plywood— to make his prototypes. Multiply this practice by five or six until the designer believes he’s landed on something “equally artistic and comfortable.” Adding his own twist to distinctly American styles, Meyer hopes his designs capture something original that people will recognize as his own. “It can be tough to produce at this level in the United States,” he says. “So, it’s really exciting to know that people think we are doing something interesting.”

MISSOULA, MONTANA Since his childhood, the Montana landscape has influenced John Greytak’s life journey. As a boy taking breaks from working on his family’s farm during the summer months, he would explore and scour the surrounding lands rife with natural elements. Fast forward to when Greytak was decorating his Montana lodge, he accompanied his designer to Tucson’s gem and mineral show where his love for the craft was rekindled, and his passion for a larger artistic purpose brought about the birth of Studio Greytak. “In elevating
these minerals and geodes to take a prominent place in homes, people can further appreciate the beauty nature provides,” says Greytak. All rare materials are sourced from six continents and brought to Missoula, where his team curates each gem to incorporate into furniture, objets and jewelry. After local artisans craft the accompanying metal, wood and glass pieces, the components return to the studio where they are assembled into “functional art.” Greytak’s greatest source of pride: “We are crafting these heirloomquality pieces in Montana—one of the most beautiful and inspiring places in our country.”

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

▲ JOSEPH PAGANO
HUDSON VALLEY, NEW YORK “To me, the tradition of hard work to create something beautiful without taking shortcuts defines what it means to be American made,” says lighting designer and fabricator Joseph Pagano. Pagano’s studio and workshop in Hudson Valley, New York, where every element of his lighting designs, including the pieces’ fittings and hardware, is made
in-house, poignantly speaks to that belief. Upon graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a degree in industrial design, Pagano moved to New York City and enrolled in a glassblowing class at The Experimental Glass Workshop, now known as UrbanGlass, and was immediately hooked. “The physicality of the material—the heat, the moving of the molten—and the endless possibilities really drew me in,” says the designer. Pagano’s latest
collection is influenced by the color, shapes and textures of nature, and his intention is to produce extraordinary lighting pieces that double as artwork. For the designer, years of experience has not only brought an advanced artistry of his craft and a full-scale workshop, but also a confidence in his creative instinct. “After 30 years, creativity flows out of me without interruption,” says Pagano. “There is no second guessing anymore; it is very rewarding.”
⊲ ESTUDIO PERSONA Emiliana Gonzalez and Jessie Young, the duo behind Estudio Persona, were only acquaintances when they lived in their home country of Uruguay. Little did they know that a move to the United States, both for their husbands’ work in film, would solidify their bond as creative compatriots. Gonzalez was originally trained as a product designer and Young as a conceptual artist, and after two years of working as interior designers together, the pair decided to morph their partnership into one that capitalized on both their disciplines and a shared passion for creating products. Informed by the brutalist architecture of its owners’ native country, Estudio Persona’s pieces are sculptural and muted in color, which helps to highlight the studio’s blending of raw and unexpected materials, such as metal and leather. Many of the local Los Angeles artisans that help fabricate Estudio Persona’s pieces are immigrants themselves, and this provides an enormous sense of satisfaction for Gonzalez and Young. “For us, it’s much bigger than just our work; it’s a human service,” says Young. “It’s amazing to produce products that support our local and diverse community.”

GOOD FOLK-INSPIRED DESIGN FLOURISHES IN TODAY’S DIGITALLY DRIVEN CULTURE. WRITTEN BY ALLISON MCCARTHY
Artisan. Small-batch. Handcrafted. From food to furniture, we’re intrigued by origin stories and desire a personal stamp on what we purchase. American folk art exemplifies these qualities; it’s emblematic of heritage and a homespun, handmade quality. Interestingly, in this hyper-fast age, we’re seeing its enduring design return to the scene. “The revival of American folk, just like the resurgence of the maker movement, is rooted in the desire for authenticity and story,” says Pamela Kelly, vice president of licensing and brand management for the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Artists and designers have been influenced by folk themes throughout the decades—from Picasso’s paintings inspired by African tribal masks and last year’s exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum in New York exploring quilts as living records of history to the recent partnership between Cassina and Calvin Klein. For the collaboration, Cassina debuted a limited run of its iconic Feltri chairs upholstered with heirloom Amish quilts. Raf Simons, the chief creative officer at Calvin Klein, refers to the chairs as a “cultural correspondence,” where modern design meets a symbol of American culture. Folk-inspired designs are not only a way to preserve traditions and cultures, but also a means to pause, reflect and reconnect to a slower, more intentional way of life in today’s fast-paced world.
larsentextiles.com
“People are taking the time to appreciate attention to detail, embrace the handmade, and honor the voices of American folk crafts,” says Rachel Doriss, design director of Pollack Studio. For its spring 2018 Undaunted Collection, Pollack partnered with Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art to create 11 fabrics inspired by pieces from the institution’s extensive textile archive. Each Undaunted pattern features original elements reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Text Message, for example, was inspired by 19th-century samplers used to practice embroidery. “Our take is a woven sampler with letters and motifs using weaving terms,” says Doriss. “From afar, it looks like a sample, but up close, there are hidden messages and even emojis.” Artist and designer Kiva Motnyk founded New York City’s Thompson Street Studio with a similar philosophy. Inspired by the tactile quality inherent in folk art, her modern application of traditional textile techniques—weaving, knitting, quilting—helps keep crafting traditions alive. “It’s inevitable in a technological society that people will return, from time to time, to what is personal and authentic,” she says. Excited to see the revival of folk-inspired design in homes imbued with a new energy and vision, Motnyk thinks it’s a natural way for artists to collaborate and share their cultural histories as creatives working in America. For his modern Americana-style interiors, Portland-based designer Max Humphrey pulls in folk-inspired elements to infuse personality into spaces using pottery, tramp art frames and quilts that lend character and context to otherwise neutral backdrops. “Folk has a broad appeal because people are inspired by things made by hand right here in America,” he says. “It’s timeless because it’s symbolic.” In a sense, folk-inspired design is a tool to communicate and preserve stories of craftspeople and communities from the past in a way that’s relevant to our current culture—and that never goes out of style.

HEATH CERAMICS AND SHERRILL MANUFACTURING TEAM UP BRINGING SOPHISTICATED FLATWARE TO THE TABLE.
WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFFERY CROSS
There is something to be said for finding the right fit, especially when it comes to honoring a design brand’s legacy. So, when the Sausalito, California-based ceramics and home goods company Heath Ceramics was looking for an American manufacturer to round out its tabletop offerings with its first-ever flatware line, it discovered exactly who to turn to: Sherrill Manufacturing. “We have a deep affinity for companies with heritage and for those remaining when all others have gone elsewhere,” says Heath Ceramics co-owner Robin Petravic of Sherrill.
Sherrill, founded by Matt Roberts and Greg Owens in New York in 2005, is now the only flatware brand making its products in the United States—an enormous source of pride for its founders. “We grew up in this community,” Roberts says. “And we’re survivors.” Despite the nearly 3,000-miles between the two companies, “we walked hand-in-hand down the path together,” he remarks. The result is a five-piece cutlery collection called Muir, the first of three flatware designs by Heath Ceramics (the last two lines are set to launch later this year). The pieces—two forks, two spoons and a knife—honor both brands’ history and devotion to American craftsmanship by showcasing a timeless and humble design with smooth edges, elegant lines and a satisfying grip. Heath Ceramics and Sherrill challenged each other’s perceived limits of manufacturing and design, producing a collection that reflects its shared values and honest spirit committed to craft. “It’s not just about design—it’s also about respect for materials,” says Heath’s Studio Director Tung Chiang, who collaborated with Roberts on the collection. Through their partnership, Chiang learned of Sherrill’s nearly 20-step manufacturing process and the significance of a special tool: a tumbling

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

She has traveled the globe as the owner of a successful textile business, worked as an interior designer for the White House and been celebrated by The Met’s Costume Institute. Now in her 90s, Apfel has partnered with Istanbul-based glassware maker Nude to create special collections of glassware and decorative objects. The new lines, which debuted in January at Maison & Objet in Paris, perfectly marry Nude’s “simple is beautiful” ethos with Apfel’s playful sense of pattern and color. Tomas Kral’s Beak collection of modern vessels for water or wine, for instance, got whimsical stripes in acid-bright colors. Apfel also reimagined Ayse Birsel’s simple, multifunctional Mono Box, adding elegant patterns in contrasting hues. And fans of Apfel can pick up a pair of lead-free crystal Iris Apfel paperweights in her likeness, featuring her signature round-rimmed glasses and crimson lips. nudeglass.com

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

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

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

LLOYD FLANDERS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
Lloyd Flanders offers 23 distinct collections in a broad range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether a luxury-scale sectional or porch swing, there’s something for every outdoor space. While different regions of the country follow different trends, Lloyd Flanders’ furniture stays consistent with three key elements common in every design: timelessness, comfort and functionality. “Our furniture is built to last, and to be used as much as possible,” president and CEO Dudley Flanders says. Central to this is Flanders’ proprietary Lloyd Loom wicker—a natural-fiber wicker that features long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility. Thus, the furniture withstands full exposure to the elements—sun, rain, even snow—with minimal maintenance. “Vacuum or use a soft brush on woven material and cushions to remove organic material and loosen surface soil, then rinse with a mild detergent and clean water; it’s that simple,” says Warren Juliano, senior vice president of sales and marketing, regarding the line’s trademark ease of care.
INSPIRATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration at the touch of their fingertips. This has created a desire for customization, from mixing and matching materials to unique fabrics and finishes. Our Lloyd Loom products are available in 19 finishes and over 400 fabrics, so the digital age has really helped boost our business.
1. The Hamptons chaise, shown in White, comes in many finishes: Almond, Antique White, Charcoal, Chocolate, Ebony, Ivory, Platinum, Sage and others. 2. The clean lines and comfort-scale seating of the Catalina Collection, here in Hickory, create an effortless home oasis. 3. The Mesa Collection, made of woven vinyl, is shown here in a Pecan finish.

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

SITTING PRETTY
When designer Ariella Duker of A-List Interiors bought 10 1/2 acres in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, she didn’t imagine that months of building delays on the property’s main home would mean designing the pool house first. “The estate is beautiful in the summer months,” Duker notes, so the pool area quickly became the focus. While originally the design of this space had been simpler and more seasonal, the structure is now built for year-round use and features a sophisticated scheme with an elegant kitchen for entertaining as well as a boho bath that adds to the eclectic feel. alistinteriors.com We love the global influence. The design and decoration certainly have a European flair: from the boxwoods and espalier trees framing the outside of the stucco structure to the antiques inside I’ve amassed over time. I like to think of this as country French in upstate New York. Even the bathroom feels international! I wanted the pool house to be both grand and casual at once.
How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych. The small but mighty kitchen holds a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Monogram ice maker and Shaws Original sink by Rohl. Walker Zanger tile decorates the floor of the bathroom. 170 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

COUNTRY CARPET
“At Country Carpet, supplying the design industry, as well as high-end homeowners, with versatile, quality products for any budget is an honored family tradition,” principal Harris Cohen says. Originally founded by Cohen’s father, Sy, Country Carpet has been a staple on Long Island and in the metropolitan area for nearly 50 years. Since its inception, it has been valued for a superiority of product and the experience it offers through the designer showroom, where interior designers and homeowners alike find inspiration and solutions. After joining the company last year, Cohen’s daughter, Alexandra, is carrying on her family’s tradition. Like her father and Country Carpet’s design consultants, Alexandra aims to spark each customer’s creativity and assist them in making the right decisions for their homes. Cohen points to this process as the essential difference for any homeowner embarking on a new project. “Clients tell us that shopping for rugs and flooring previously caused them stress,” he says. “However, working with our design team and spending time in our showroom made it enjoyable. Finding the right people to walk you through the product and process would be my best tip.”

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

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

SPHERE of INFLUENCE
Drawing on materials long favored by architects as well as artists, including stainless steel, copper, bronze and stone, British sculptor David Harber creates dazzling artworks that react to and engage with their natural setting. Geometric pieces include Matrix (right), created from bronze hoops and inset with decorative plates of 23 3/4-karat gold. Dark Planet (far right) features an assemblage of hundreds of irregularly shaped puddle stones—“raw nature transformed to geometry,” the sculptor notes. davidharber.com
“A bench is a principal element to organize an outdoor space, making a garden into a room,” says McKinnon and Harris cofounder Anne Massie, who, with her brother, Will, turned to some of the company’s earliest designs, inspired by the Regency style, to create this Otey four-seater piece. The graceful diamond lattice back carries hints of chinoiserie, and the white hue offers a bright contrast to surrounding greenery. “There are so many ephemeral things in a garden, and a bench, like architecture, is the one thing that is unchanging,” says Will. mckinnonharris.com

WIT AND WHIMSY
PYRAMID POWER Inspired by an 18th-century folly in Yorkshire by English architect John Carr, known for his imposing Palladian structures, the Needle’s Eye rises from a pond at Winterthur’s entrance. Like the sandstone original—designed to settle a wager about whether the Second Marquess of Rockingham could drive his coach through the eye of a needle—the floating pyramid features an ogee door and is topped with a finial in the shape of an urn.
⊳ TURKISH DELIGHT The influence of the Turkish Empire on English decorative arts coincided with the fashion for follies, resulting in exotic structures such as this bright pink tent. Fabric with hand-stitched details and a block-print pattern encloses a cozy interior full of plush seating—the perfect shelter from rainfall during a ramble through the grounds. Winterthur’s original owner, the late collector and designer Henry Francis du Pont—who helped Jacqueline Kennedy renovate the White House—developed the gardens on the 1,000-acre estate in the early 20th century and incorporated various follies into his plans.
RUSTIC REFUGE ⊲ For a simple summer house, massive American beech stump pillars support a bundled beech twig roof, all from trees on the estate. Grapevine and bittersweet vine serve as rafters, while stacked slices of birch stumps form an appealing pattern on an interior wall. Inspired by a folly at The Royal Gardens at Highgrove, the retreat of Prince Charles, this wee picturesque structure is totally green.

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

To create the ultimate dramatic entrance, landscape architect Jarrod Ryan Baumann incorporated more than 2,800 succulents into a glorious vertical teak garden gate that opens to a Bay Area residence. The composition—an eye-catching arrangement of varietals in a range of shades and textures—blurs the line between nature and architecture in an innovative way. “Our designs tend to be very architectural,” notes Baumann, who used the gate to set the tone for the architecture and greenery within. “We see the landscape as both a structure and piece of land that we sculpt into something brilliant.” zeterre.com
9HOT seats
Believed to have been carried over from Buddhist garden tradition of using natural elements like tree stumps as seats, garden stools have been a part of the Chinese furniture tradition for 1,000 years. Handmade of ceramic using old-master finishes and techniques, the Durian Garden stool (right) and Magnolia stool (far right) are both hand-glazed and uniquely feature a range of decorative motifs like foo dogs, magnolia blooms and simulated nailheads. Not only do they provide great versatility as a side table or extra seating, but they also add that much-needed pop of color or texture to any interior or exterior space. dennisandleen.com

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

ARTFULLY DRIVEN IN A SOHO LOFT, A STELLAR ART COLLECTION INSPIRES SPACES THAT ARE CHIC AND INVITING.

nterior designer Richard Mishaan is a self-described “art addict,” so it was only natural that a dear friend who shared his passion would recommend him to a fellow art enthusiast and her husband—a couple looking to turn their SoHo condo into a stylish backdrop for their standout collection of contemporary work. “My friend said, ‘You’ll be able to give their collection context,’ ” recalls the interior designer. Mishaan’s opening gambit focused on the layout of the residence. He retained the entry vestibule that opens onto a dramatic double-height living room—complete with its original pressed-tin ceiling, the dramatic and “very geometric” staircase with organic wood detailing and the kitchen. Much of the rest of the dwelling was reconceived by the interior designer. “It had been a well-divided loft, so the rooms were easily reclaimed,” Mishaan notes. On the ground floor, a media room became a formal dining room. Of a trio of bedrooms also on that level, the designer joined two to create a club room; upstairs, one bedroom became a gym and another turned into a home office. After finalizing the architectural changes, Mishaan turned to the interiors. “The clients wanted a very clean feeling that is truer to a loft style,” he says. To drive his decisions, he looked to the couple’s art collection, which encompasses work by the likes of Damien Hirst, Richard Prince and Keith Haring, some acquired during the project and some already owned. “We decided on a very monochromatic palette to work with the art as it evolves and changes,” he says. At the foundation of the scheme are shades of rich brown, accented by a select few contrasting hues. In the airy living room, low-slung lounge chairs in cream velvet and chocolate leather stand out against pale walls and dark flooring. Nearby, a new bar area separates the space from the kitchen and is defined by an LED-illuminated onyxtop bar with wire-brushed oak shelves. Red accents—the
“IT’S NOT FORMAL AND STODGY. IT’S SEXY, GLOWY AND VERY YOUTHFUL” –RICHARD MISHAAN
barstools, the red-leather chairs in the breakfast area—were inspired by a Haring artwork in the space. “That starts tying everything together,” says the interior designer, who riffed on the red-and-white scheme in a bedroom and in the expansive outdoor area. Deep, moody browns pop up in the club room and the new dining room, with the artwork in each providing a spark for vivid accents. In the club room, which Mishaan paneled in a luscious, cordovan-hued wood to impart a timeless feel, paintings by Carroll Dunham and Takashi Murakami inject bold notes, while the blue in the Yves Klein table finds its analog in the carpet and the suede lounge chairs. In the dining room, bold color is present in the artwork and the accents—purple chairs, spin art Hirst plates and bright acrylic place mats pick up on the tones in the paintings. But, Mishaan points out, “Everything else is sort of monochrome,” highlighting the silver, gray, ivory and brown shades at play in the windowless space. He installed a wallcovering with a tarnished, almost industrial feel to it, devised a chevron pattern for the floor and painted the ceiling gold. “It’s shimmery at night when you dim the lights,” he says. “It’s not formal and stodgy. It’s sexy, glowy and very youthful.” While the art takes center stage, Mishaan incorporated just the right measure of additional pattern and texture— subtle enough to let the collection shine but bold enough to add interest. A carpet with a butterfly-wing design on the living room floor is a clever call-out to the Prince and Hirst works also in the space. Tiger-stripe throw pillows were also added. More animal print pops up in the library vestibule on a Tommi Parzinger bench. Behind it, a screen print of Kate Moss by Mr. Brainwash hangs on a wall covered in a book-print Brunschwig & Fils wallcovering. “The wife asked if we should put bookshelves everywhere, but I said, ‘Let’s simulate it,’ ” reports the interior designer. “The colors in the wallpaper and art harmonize so well that it looks like it belongs together.” To suit the clients, whom Mishaan describes as “dressed-up downtown,” he chose furnishings with a similar bent. Some have standout provenances—the Parzinger bench, the signed James Mont barstools, the Royère dining chairs—while others are custom designs. Regardless of their origins, they all share tailored profiles yet project an air of comfort, sumptuously covered in linen, leather, velvet and suede. “It’s about luxury,” says the interior designer, pointing not just to the materials but to the clients’ empty-nester lifestyle. “It’s a luxury to finally cut loose. This is a youthful yet grown-up apartment. They’re really warm, loving people, who are enjoying and celebrating life.”
A Takashi Murakami painting hangs in the family room of a SoHo loft interior designer Richard Mishaan revamped for his clients.

In the living room, understated ivory Kravet velvet and chocolate-toned Garrett leather on the custom sofa and chairs serve as foils for the vibrant Damien Hirst above the clients’ console and the adjacent Richard Prince. Completing the tableau are a vintage Maison Charles coffee table from Flair Home Collection and a rug by The Rug Company. Mishaan chose to keep the original pressed-tin ceilings, which add to the geometry of the living room design.

Notes of red show up frequently throughout the home, including in the kitchen, where they add pops of color in the otherwise neutral room. Mishaan left the space largely untouched, although he did reupholster the clients’ barstools in a faux leather by Kravet.

The family room of this Upper East Side home, renovated by architects Francine Monaco and interior designers Carl D’Aquino and Dane Pressner, features a circular coffee table by Wendell Castle atop a silk Tai Ping rug.

E
very project has a muse, but this large, twostory duplex on Madison Avenue has a pair: the husband and wife who own it and live there with their four children. When the couple turned to architect Francine Monaco and interior designers Carl D’Aquino and Dane Pressner to help them remodel, the team looked back at the clients for inspiration. “They each have their own distinct personal style. In their dress they favor items that are classic, but also have a little edge,” says Pressner. “For their home, we channeled that by incorporating neutral tones that modulate from one room to the next, modern furniture and elements of surprise.” Before the rooms were appointed, however, they were rearranged and flipped. “The home was once two apartments that had been joined together rather awkwardly,” says Monaco. “Before the remodel, you entered on the upper level where the kitchen, dining and living areas were located and descended to the bedrooms.” Now, the public areas are on the first level and the private quarters are on the second. Monaco moved the entrance to the lower level, relocated the stairway to a more central area and reordered the rooms to create a smoother flow. On the main level, floor-to-ceiling resin panels allow the spaces to be open or divided, making for an array of layouts and entertaining options. The team also used its expertise to solve a seemingly insurmountable problem. “When the owners were thinking about buying the house, its low ceilings gave them serious pause,” says Monaco. So the architects devised a ceiling plane composed of gentle, abstract angles and beams. Builder Josh Wiener says the geometry was a challenge that paid off. “The angularity made for complex, complicated framing,” he says. “But in the end, that faceted surface resulted in a beautiful, multilayer experience—and it makes the ceiling feel higher.” Monaco sums it up simply: “We took a negative and made it into a positive.”

Pressner says the bar area possesses an undeniable “cool factor,� with its Simplicity glass counter, built-in black-and-gold cabinets and leather Henge Strip counter stools by Massimo Castagna. The long, multi-light Chamont Chandelier by Jonathan Browning was purchased from The Bright Group.
The unexpected was brought down to eye level as well, in the form of color, texture and uncommon finishes. For instance, the family room features a pair of side tables with a cream-colored cement exterior and a core lined in quartz crystals. “There are many interesting little moments in this home, the kind not seen very often,” says Pressner. “There are bold statements, but they are done with a whisper.” In the spacious living room, the glam continues with an oversize tufted ottoman upholstered in a metallic leather. Surrounding it is custom seating that’s flexible in nature. “When you have a large room, seating is always a challenge,” says Pressner. “You have to think about what it would be like for 12 people to be here, or just a few—the plan has to work for a crowd or a couple.” The solution was to design furniture without divisions created by armrests and high backs. As a result, two people can feel cozy here, or a larger gathering can easily perch on the surrounding pieces and comfortably converse together. The subtle off-white and pale gray palette in the living room, entry and dining room segues to a dark chocolate
brown in the adjacent bar, against which the shimmery accents, such as the brass lampshade and laminated crystal-glass bar counter, shine more brightly. Bar cabinets crafted with bronze resin doors are scored, creating a plaid texture that also appears in the dining room where the pattern is enlarged and crosshatched into white oak panels lining one wall. In contrast, the couple’s bedroom is a study in comfort. An upholstered headboard, sheer draperies and bedding are done in ethereal white fabrics. A light blue that appears in the rug and the metallic-leather bench is a soothing accent, while amethyst-framed mirrors and bedside lamps with fur-covered bases are animating elements. The adjacent sitting room provides a private parental retreat. The suite illustrates the look that was tailor-made for this family and how they want to live. “They have a dynamic existence in the outside world,” says Monaco of her clients. “When they come home, they need a refuge. But for these people, an atmosphere of calm needs to be punctuated by moments of attitude and high style.”
Monaco notes that the family room was designed as “a media room for the adults,” with built-in cabinetry by Jonathan Arnold; however, it’s become a space where the entire family gathers. The side tables by Fernando Mastrangelo Studio hold lamps by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte.

BLACK to the FUTURE BY SETTING LIMITATIONS, ARTIST JAMES AUSTIN MURRAY SAW HIS CREATIVITY FLOURISH. WRITTEN BY MIKKI BRAMMER PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRYAN DERBALLA
A
health scare that causes you to take stock of your life can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. In James Austin Murray’s case, it forced him to admit that he no longer enjoyed creating the hyper-realistic paintings on which he had built his career. Though the health issue—which stemmed from working as a firefighter at ground zero—turned out to be relatively minor, Murray’s creative course was forever changed. “At the time I thought, well, if this is the way things are, I’m just going to enjoy making the art I want to make and not worry about it,” he recalls. “In a way it was the best thing that’s ever happened, because when it’s clear that’s what you really want to be doing, it gives you a sense of freedom.” Murray shifted his focus to creating small black sketches while performing meditative breathing exercises, a process that has since evolved to what is now his signature work: paintings using only Ivory Black oil paint to create mesmeric textures, lines, pleats and folds on canvas. Often, he’s able to achieve the effects through just a few simple strokes using implements made by chaining together wallpaper-smoothing brushes. Though the paintings are flat, Murray’s brushstrokes manipulate light around the curves to create a multidimensional feel. “I’m really playing with the light as much as I am the paint,” he says. When he first began limiting himself to black paint, Murray assumed he would quickly “hit a wall” and exhaust all creative possibilities. Instead, he found it increasingly liberating; 10 years later, he’s still discovering ways to innovate the process. “When you limit yourself, you force yourself to work around those limitations,” he says. “The idea of working only with black forces me to come up with ways to keep it interesting. There’s always some moment that sets me in a new direction.” Relishing the challenges that lie within such restrictive parameters, he likens the repetitive, meditative process to martial arts. “Sometimes I’ll play little games where I try to repeat a painting,” he says. “Often they’re similar enough that you can see they were done with the same intention, but they’re never the same.” In his studio at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City, Murray has recently been experimenting with using thicker amounts of paint than usual while also working on pieces for several upcoming exhibitions, including a group show at the Art Students League of New York curated by fellow artist James Little. “It’s like I’m continuing along the path,” Murray says. “Each painting brings me to something else. And it’s not that each one is a step—sometimes there are two steps back, four steps forward—but the work itself is the inspiration. Little by little, it keeps getting better.” 222 / LUXESOURCE.COM

BREATHING ROOM A FARMHOUSE ON RYE’S MILTON POINT IS SKILLFULLY RENOVATED TO MEET ITS OWNERS’ DESIRE FOR BRIGHT, OPEN SPACES. WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMANDA KIRKPATRICK

C
hances are good that a house in Rye, Westchester County’s oldest community, comes with some history. The odds are even better if that house is located on Milton Point, a peninsula below the city’s center that’s dotted with shingled cottages and stately mansions built in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when wealthy New Yorkers made the scenic spot on Long Island Sound their summertime playground. So when designer Christie Manning and her husband, Chris, discovered that the 1911 Milton Point home they were eyeing offered little in the way of original historical details, they were disappointed—but they also recognized an opportunity. “The previous owner had done a number of additions and subtractions of varying styles over 30 years,” Manning says, “which is why we didn’t feel like complete sinners for not abiding by any rules when we planned our renovations.”
Those updates, orchestrated by residential designer Louise Brooks, began with a complete reimagining of the home’s floor plan. “The original farmhouse had lots of small rooms, and the layout just didn’t work for this family of six,” says Brooks. “My favorite part of this—or any— renovation was figuring out how to make it viable for a new, young lifestyle.” Brooks and the Mannings decided that the solution would be a combination of open, main-floor gathering areas—a large kitchen and adjacent family room—and more formal living and dining spaces, all of which would open onto a porch spanning one side of the house. Upstairs, they would reconfigure the existing rooms to create five bedrooms and a laundry area. And the basement would be expanded to accommodate a theater, a recording studio, and a spacious media and game room with an indoor/outdoor bar.
Opposite: In the foyer, residential designer Louise Brooks created a sculptural new staircase with white risers and espresso-stained oak treads. A vintage settee and whitewashed table purchased at Mecox Gardens transform the empty space beneath the stairs into an intimate sitting area. Below: When viewed from the front, the 1911 Milton Point farmhouse looks much as it did before the significant renovation and expansion orchestrated by Brooks.

Making such extensive changes to a house Brooks describes as “structurally challenged” was no easy feat. “We had to go through structural gymnastics just to get it to stand up,” says Walter Lorenz, project executive for the construction team. Those efforts included replacing every last floor joist and shoring up a foundation that in some places was little more than “rubble or tree trunks thrown in a ditch,” says project manager Jerry Cobaugh. The team also lowered part of the basement floor to achieve 8-foot-high ceilings and opened the foyer’s low ceiling to make way for a sculptural stacked staircase and grand balcony. A three-story addition provided square footage for the basement media room, the family room above it, and a large second-floor master suite—but presented another challenge: “One of the trickiest things with any addition
is matching the existing structure with the new one,” says construction executive Scott Hobbs. “But it’s especially difficult when you’re trying to align a perfectly level and square new floor system with a sagging old structure.” Far easier was selecting a high-contrast palette of finishes that creates a style Brooks describes as “modern farmhouse, without evoking a barn.” In the kitchen, white marble countertops and cerused-oak cabinetry nod to tradition, while a wall of stainless-steel appliances and cupboards denotes a thoroughly modern home. Similarly, the adjacent porch’s open rafters and fir floorboards “call to mind a waterfront Adirondack porch at the turn of the century,” Brooks says, albeit with sleek, steel cable railings. And in the media and game room, cedar beams provide a rustic counterpoint to polished concrete floors and a fireplace framed by cast-concrete blocks.
A trio of handblown-glass pendants by SkLO Studio illuminates the kitchen island, which is topped with Calacatta Gold marble from Eastern Stone. The counter was sized to accommodate six Lucite-and-metal stools from All Modern. Brooks designed the cerused-oak cabinets and created the three-piece sliding marble backsplash, which conceals storage behind the range.
Newly expanded to span the entire length of the house, a side porch offers glimpses of Long Island Sound. Exposed rafters, narrow wood floor planks, vintage coffee tables from Nest Inspired Home and RH chairs upholstered in Sunbrella fabric evoke the lakeside porch of a classic Adirondack camp. The meshbottomed Shaw pendant lights are from The Urban Electric Co.
The homeowners’ colorful art collection—including painter Hunt Slonem’s iconic bunnies and butterflies—dictated neutral furnishings, many of which came from the Mannings’ previous home. “Everything that could be refinished got an update,” Manning says. A set of dining chairs sports fluffy new owl-feather backs and shagreen seats. The living room sofas are newly upholstered, and even the grand piano received a fresh walnut finish. Manning collaborated with Lillian August to design the dining and game rooms’ striking cowhide rugs. Another passion project: scouring the design world for spectacular light fixtures, including the dining room’s perforated-brass chandelier and a trio of handblownglass lassos above the kitchen island. At 10,500 square feet, the reimagined house might feel overwhelming if not for guidance gleaned from a book by designer-to-the-stars Mary McDonald. “It said the goal of design should be to create spaces that invite people to linger,” Manning says. “I’m kind of charged by that, so I made sure to create intimate nooks—from the Thumbelina sofa beneath the stairs to the bench in a dining room niche—where people can sit and chat and be comfortable. People often compliment this house’s open vibe; they say they feel like they’re in L.A. But what’s important to me is that it still feels really inviting, like home.”

Opposite: The hallway leading to the master bedroom sets the stage for a serene experience. A custom silk rug from Lillian August tops espresso floors installed by Westwood Flooring. The walls are coated in Natural White from Benjamin Moore. Below: Manning placed custom nightstands from Bradley on either side of a Baker bed dressed in Frette linens. A pair of paintings by artist Melissa Barbieri hangs above the bed. The bedside lighting is from Lillian August and the walls are covered in Phillip Jeffries Vinyl Silky Strings.
