EDITOR’S LETTER

MUSINGS of HOME Everything we know has changed. These past months as the world literally paused, we found ourselves tethered to our homes—forced to be still, notice and reflect. It was curiosity and boredom, togetherness and aloneness, wanderlust through reading and Netflixing. Food and food and food. Never have so many banana breads collectively been baked.

Observing nature and taking a quiet stroll was a tonic for the soul. We sat in our homes, evaluated our homes, and were grateful for our homes.

Like spring’s green shoots, we are starting to emerge, not knowing exactly how or where we will land.

One thing we know for sure is that we are committing to use our platforms to amplify diverse design voices.

Our incredible team put this summer issue together, working remotely, with great care and attention.

We trust that it will encourage musing; a promise for the spaces that you and yours inhabit.

Clockwise from top: Snapshots in and around my home. An inspiration wall in my art studio/work-from-home space; the afternoon light in my living room; hiking at a nearby nature preserve; a recent sketchbook.

ashville has come a long way since its 1897 designation as the “Athens of the South,” when a to-scale replica of the Parthenon was erected in modern-day Centennial Park. Founded as a river port city—and, later, a railroad hub—Nashville has been known for its enterprising spirit and classical roots, evidenced by a wealth of Georgian and Greek Revival residences dotting the lawns of Forest Hills and Belle Meade. While these landmark neighborhoods serve as the backbone of the community, the city’s design palette has evolved to be as diverse as that of its latest residents hailing from L.A., Austin, New York and beyond.

“Nashville is a perpetual frontier town,” notes DAAD principal Nick Dryden, one of the city’s leading residential and commercial architects, who points to the vast number of transplants moving in, sight unseen, to build businesses and community.

Third in a generational line of architects, Dryden proceeded to transform Nashville’s cityscape with progressive ideas and cleaner profiles, authoring icons such as Rolf & Daughters restaurant and Noelle Hotel, while overhauling historic Germantown. “What I do is narrative architecture, a response to historic context, always tailored to the clients,” says Dryden, who straddles disciplines, nodding to local vernacular while incorporating modern hallmarks that appeal to transplants.

Natives, in turn, feel increasing permission to take design risks themselves.

Adds designer Robin Rains: “Nashville’s historic neighborhoods are steeped in tradition and heritage,” but homeowners wanting to venture beyond the status quo of Southern style “are making the work more challenging and interesting.”

She says a curated mix of antique, vintage and modern is coveted for Nashville interiors regardless of the architectural envelope. Rains, who launched her eponymous business in 2001, also maintains a presence in nearby Franklin and Leiper’s Fork, with an antique store in the latter, and has selected the Nashville Design Collective for her next showroom.

Considered the city’s first large-scale trade resource, the highly anticipated Collective softopened earlier this year thanks to La Cornue alum Anne Puricelli and Design Galleria principal Matthew Quinn, boasting showrooms such as Circa Lighting and Christopher Peacock, with other top brands coming soon. “Young Nashville residents are raising families and turning tradition on its ear,” says Quinn, who recently augmented his longstanding Atlanta flagship with a new location at the Collective. Plus, anticipated additions to the skyline—such as Soho House, developer Tony Giarratana’s 900 Church and the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville—suggest further signs of progress.

Despite its classical roots, the “Athens of the South” may be worthy of a new nickname soon: next big thing.

RADAR / CRAFT

ANYTHING but ARTIFICIAL RESIN BECOMES A PRECIOUS MATERIAL WHEN WORKED BY SOME OF LOS ANGELES’S INNOVATIVE DESIGNERS. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL

Since the 1960s, artists and designers in Los Angeles have turned synthetics into decorative gold with ingenious methods of sculpting plastics into luxurious objects. Whether it’s furniture, accessories or fine art, the medium lends itself to a variety of forms that speak to a truly Californian craft.

When the state became a leader in aerospace technologies in the 1940s, new materials and cutting-edge capabilities, such as facilities that could roll out sheets of acrylic to form aircraft windows, were revelatory for artists.

One leader in the field, designer Charles Hollis Jones, pioneered atmospheric Lucite furnishings that had a profound effect on West Coast interiors. His designs were created with thick sheets of acrylic that allowed them to absorb and magnify light, resulting in a sculptural quality that captured the attention of Hollywood stars like Lucille Ball and Sammy Davis Jr. Today, Jones continues to explore the material with his new Diamond Connexxion line. “Instead of doing square or round shapes, I decided to do something different—people like it,” he says of the angular forms.

But a new generation of California creatives, too, is lured by plastic’s limitless, almost magical properties. Elyse Graham, who first became known for the vase forms she created by coating sand-filled balloons with resin, is “completely seduced by the material,” she says. “So many aspects of it capture my imagination. Most excitingly, I’ve now found a way to reuse it.”

Working with what she calls MetaMaterial (a composite resin made with recast pieces), she makes furniture that bridges art and function. “Each new project builds on the one before it as we discover new ways of working with resin,” says Graham.

For industrial designer and spatial artist Nobel Truong, it’s all an exploration of philosophy and technology. As an “admirer of the structural forms and function that marked Bauhaus architecture,” she creates both theoretical furnishings and playful accessories with laser-cut acrylic panels that slot together. Intrigued by “the play on color and shape pioneered by the Memphis Group,” she also explores the effects of color in her work, especially fluorescent hues.

Putting an emphasis on the whimsical side of the material’s complex nature is artist Betsy Enzensberger. “Resin is an incredibly difficult medium to work with, which is why I’m attracted to it,” she says. Likening the liquid resins she casts and sculpts to honey and syrup, it’s not surprising her works celebrate childhood sweets—ice cream and popsicles—that range in size from 6 inches to 6 feet. “I expect perfection in my work, but it’s about joy. I want to spread smiles,” she says.

LX_COM32_Radar_Craft.indd 56

Artist Betsy Enzensberger uses the familiarity of sweet treats, like her sculpture Vibrant Daydreams made of resin, ink, glitter, pearl powder and plexiglass, to evoke the simplicity and joy so often associated with childhood delights.

RADAR / HERITAGE

Nature’s BOUNTY TEXAS ARCHITECTS TURN TO THE LAND WITH NATIVE MATERIALS LEADING DESIGN.

WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING PHOTOGRAPHY BY CASEY DUNN

Architecture firm Lake Flato’s Horizon House boasts 30inch thick, locally sourced rammed-earth walls that function as a historical means of regulating temperature, while also celebrating local craftspeople and materials.

Texans have a history of building resourcefulness.

“We are a state of immigrants,” notes architect Michael Imber. “When people came here, they brought their own culture and aesthetics, and they adapted those to the materials at hand— and that’s why our architecture has character today.” That character, described by Imber as “sturdy, rugged and embodied with heritage,” has made buildings in the Lone Star State famous, and prompted leading architects around the nation to take note.

When pioneers came to Texas in the 19th century, they found limited materials. In addition to the limestone they could see in the cuts made by rivers, there were stands of mesquite, cypress and post oak trees and a seemingly unlimited supply of reddish-brown dirt for making adobe bricks and earth walls. The settlers began constructing with these, and to this day Texas architects are following suit and using the same resources.

“When we design buildings, we think about what would make them durable and beautiful,” says architect Ted Flato, whose firm has been known to install mesquite floors and make broad use of Texas limestone. “The best materials for this climate are native. Not only

are they beautiful, they make a structure look at home in the landscape.”

For Imber, using endemic sources—such as mesquite, cypress, whitewashed Texas limestone and rammed earth—gives structures meaning.

“It connects them to the past and to the future,” he says. “Architectural styles may come and go, but if there’s a commonality of materials, it makes us feel comfortable. Looking at things we recognize is a nurturing experience.”

It is a look others seek to emulate. “We have clients in far-flung places who fall in love with our work, and they want to build something like it where they live,” says Flato. “When that happens, we begin by looking at the older properties in the area. From there, we can determine what the local materials are—that’s all they had to work with back then. We try to do the same thing with native resources in that particular region.”

Imber believes that indigenous materials are like heritage foods. “When foods became homogenized across the U.S., we lost our individual culture and flavor,” he notes. “It’s the same with building sources. Texas has long been a leader in constructing with local ingredients, and the rest of the country is catching on.”

A FRESH CROP OF FURNITURE ARTISANS CRAFTS WITH CARE.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE

blanchejelly.com Name Game: My company, Blanche Jelly, is named after my great-grandmother.

Not only is it a distinctive name, but I also believe it speaks to a certain sense of time and our special relationship. Changing Direction: Before this career, I worked in political risk analysis for the World Bank and realized being in front of a computer all day wasn’t fulfilling for me. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, I was always drawn to home design, so I knew I was inclined to work with interiors and make things by hand. I moved to New York City and received my MFA in interior design from Parsons, then went to Hudson, New York, where I began making furniture. After my business picked up, I moved back to Portland in 2016. Guiding Fundamentals: People are familiar with my plaster pieces, but I also make hardware that follows similar principles—everything is made by hand in my studio. I do not believe in high-tech gadgets. I use five tools and my pieces don’t look perfect. I am not interested in perfection.

Untapped Element: I’ve been intrigued by working with stone, and I don’t mean the refined kind. Over the years I have collected little river rocks and I’ve wanted to build them into furnishings.

ELIZABETH PARKER

CASEY MCCAFFERTY casey-mccafferty.com Natural Inclination: Growing up the fourth of five children in Staten Island, my parents let me dabble with any creative endeavor I was obsessed with at that stage. I built computers, worked on mopeds, made fiberglass structures and erected tree forts. Furniture design and woodcraft took hold after graduating college. Coastal Significance: Living on both coasts—the East as a child and the West (Los Angeles) as an adult—I have always loved walks on the beach searching for debris. The textures, colors and overall air of flotsam and jetsam are a huge influence on my work. History Lesson: I’ve been reading a lot about Constantin Brâncuși and Auguste Rodin lately—both famous sculptors with different styles. Their dedication and obsessiveness in what they deemed quality drive me to always dive into and believe in my work. On the Horizon: The “Hello World” table— I’ve had a creative angst regarding the design of the common table since the top will always be a flat surface. So, I made a simple switch of letting the base flow through the tabletop allowing the eye to wander from bottom to top.

JUDE HESLIN-DI LEO Formative Years: I always wanted to be an artist, but it wasn’t until I took a class at Pratt on industrial design that I connected strongly with the work and felt it was my path. While I was pretty lousy at woodworking during those college years, it wasn’t until a few years later during a summer job with Johnny Geraghty, a custom furniture maker, that I learned the traditional methods of Japanese tansu. With the intricacies involved and no allowances for error, my fabrication skills jumped to the next level. Mutual Affection: My biggest early influence was when my friend Bernardo Guillermo and I started designing and making furniture together after graduating college in 2005. We influenced each other— pushing and leaning on one another to make those early pieces happen. Living in Harmony: Earlier this year my family and I moved out of New York City to Cold Spring, New York, where we live on top of a mountain surrounded by wildlife. Everyone in our community does their part to preserve the area’s tranquility and living here has had a tremendous impact on how I connect with the earth, especially when it comes to my work. American Craftsmanship: To me, it is the integration of fine arts, industrialism and technology. It is also about keeping the celebration of the artisan alive.

JUDE HESLIN-DI LEO: VIGNETTE, JON VON PAMER; PORTRAIT, GIEVES ANDERSON. ASPEN GOLANN: PORTRAIT, CHAD WEEDEN.

judeheslindileo.com

ASPEN GOLANN aspengolann.com Go-to Materials: Domestic hardwoods, especially walnut and maple.

Walnut is so classic and the grain is so rich, while the bright, simple tones of maple give furniture such lightness. When bleached, the pieces emanate an almost otherworldly glow. Studio Influence: During my residency here at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, I keep an unruly set of three-ring binders filled with reference images of Greek and Roman statues, iconic pieces of American furniture and objects by unnamed makers that I’ve spotted in thrift stores. Southern Charm: I love the elegance and restraint of traditional furniture forms, especially their properness relating to decorum. While my pieces inspirit antique furniture, I try to dust off the stuffy aesthetic related to classic lines by simplifying, rearranging or recontextualizing older forms and styles. Playing Favorites: Made with my good friend and mentor, Peter Galbert, and commissioned for the wellknown English designer Beata Heuman, the Windsor Settee has so many opposing qualities; it utilizes old-school Windsor chair construction, while the updated proportions and curving of the entire back and undercarriage give it a fluid, sculptural feeling.

Beauty and Sustainability NEOLITH® STRATA ARGENTUM Space I NEOLITH® Urban Boutique Milan (Italy) I Designed by Héctor Ruiz I Photography: Dámaso Pérez Fototec

Neolith® is an architectural skin capable of dressing up any interior or exterior commercial or residential space where it’s applied from floors and walls to kitchen countertops, facades and even furniture.

The large format minimizes the number of joints in cladding for decorative and hygiene benefits. The minimal thickness allows it to be directly applied to an already existing surface without the need for prior removal.

It’s a low-maintenance material given its special resistance to scratches, stains, chemicals, high temperatures and traffic.

Neolith® also provides the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality given its unlimited possibilities and capacity to resemble all-natural materials like stone, wood and metal.

Denmark’s design-forward speaker company Bang & Olufsen tapped Tokyo-based Simplicity to create its new 2,200-square-foot flagship in SoHo (121 Spring St.). Blonde wood features almost exclusively throughout the various listening stations, resulting in Scandinavian minimalism crossed with New York’s monochrome industrialism.

There’s also an enhanced listening room for experiencing new products like the Beosound Stage or the Beoplay E8 3rd Generation.

Uptown, the Jonathan Adler flagship (135 E. 65th St. and Lexington Ave.) encompasses 5,500 square feet of the furniture brand’s signature whimsy: funky lighting, curvaceous seating in bold colors (bottom), idiosyncratic ceramics, candles and pillows. The bi-level showroom features themed residential vignettes to provide inspiration and will roll out new merchandise before it lands in the brand’s eight other boutiques nationwide. Temple Studio (51 E. 12th St.) is the hot newcomer for fabric, wallpaper and rug designs (below). Launched by Studio Four co-founder Kate Temple Reynolds, its airy 3,500-squarefoot showroom in Greenwich Village artfully displays the works of the 19 designers it represents.

THE INSIDER JANICE PARKER

Landscape architect Janice Parker has been greening New York City since the 1970s, when she did the nightly floral arrangements at Studio 54. Now she’s president of the Chairman’s Council at Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project, helping to refresh the concrete jungle with several lush oases.

Luxe spoke with Parker about the flowering of New York. janiceparker.com How did you connect with the NYRP? I met Bette Midler through members of her original band in 1976. When she came back to live in New York in 1995, the city was really a mess. She started by cleaning up garbage, and the idea clicked with me completely.

What project are you most proud of? We planted a million trees in New York City. It was an ambitious rollout to figure out where to 60 / luxesource.com

acquire them, where to put them, and how to make sure it didn’t end up being a million dead trees.

Are there any tips you can offer about landscaping in the city?

You have to know the path of the sun and which plants thrive in that sun. For rooftops, you want tough specimens that grow well in exposed locations, like the seashore, so they can handle dehydration and wind.

The HIGH LIFE

⊳ BECKFORD HOUSE & TOWER The Upper East Side will see two new residential buildings completed this year that are sure to become instant icons for the neighborhood. Revered architect William Sofield is constructing the intimate, 21-story Beckford House, comprised of just 32 residences, and the adjacent 31-story Beckford Tower featuring 72 residences. Both buildings complement the area’s prewar architecture with their inset terraces, Juliet balconies and classic façades of limestone, brownstone and custom-gray brick. Wellness amenities inside Beckford Tower will include a 65-foot swimming pool, basketball half-court, gym and yoga studio. beckfordresidences.com

DESIGN-FORWARD RESIDENCES CONTINUE TO SPROUT UP ACROSS MANHATTAN.

⊳ 32 EAST 1ST STREET A monumental limestone grid exterior gives way to large square windows and striking use of negative space. The architecture of 32 East 1st Street, by Combined Architecture and Interiors, nods to Italian Rationalist design from the early 20th century. Inside, there’s a spa with hot tubs, a sauna, steam room, and plunge pool.

The 30 one- to three-bedroom residences, now available for occupancy, feature Molteni walkin closets and kitchen cabinetry

by GD Cucine. But the crowning achievement is the striking 2,766-square-foot Penthouse B by celebrated French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, which boasts an extra 1,170 square of feet of outdoor space overlooking the East Village. 32e1st.nyc

45 PARK PLACE ⊲ Tribeca now has a 667-foot-tall glass tower of European sophistication in 45 Park Place, which is slated for occupancy by the end of this year.

The iconic Italian designer Piero Lissoni is overseeing the interiors for all 50 of the condos, his first such development project in New York. Lissoni’s linear minimalism is accompanied by soaring windows throughout the spaces, which range from one to four bedrooms. Each residence features Boffi kitchens (Lissoni is the brand’s creative director) and Gaggenau appliances.

45parkplaceny.com

▲ CENTRAL PARK TOWER West 57th Street is Billionaire’s Row, and when the 131-story Central Park Tower topped out at 1,550 feet on this strip last year it became the tallest residential building in the world. Renowned interior architect Lauren Rottet is overseeing the design of its 179 two- to eightbedroom residences, which begin on the 32nd floor and range between 1,435 to over 17,500 square feet.

Sales launched in the fall of 2018 and move-in dates are slated to begin before year’s end. The Tower is also home to New York’s first Nordstrom, which occupies the first five floors. centralparktower.com

BURNING BRIGHT RICH BRILLIANT WILLING

The Brooklyn-based lighting company Rich Brilliant Willing, which has a showroom in SoHo, has skyrocketed to fame in just 10 years. The name is an eponymous reimagining of the three men behind the esteemed brand—Theo Richardson, Charles Brill and Alexander Williams. As the brand celebrates its 10th anniversary, Richardson talks to Luxe about its rapid success across a single decade. richbrilliantwilling.com

Why so much success in just 10 years?

We identified our purpose—design should encourage the adoption of LED, which was once thought to be too cold and harsh. We began developing

COLLABORATION WEITZNER X LISA HUNT

For Weitzner’s new Reverie collection of wallcoverings and textiles, designer Lori Weitzner tapped Brooklyn-based artist Lisa Hunt to create five of Reverie’s 18 designs—a collaboration for which the idea came about, Weitzner notes, while she was perusing a copy of Luxe. “I was looking through an issue that profiled Lisa’s artwork and fell in love at first sight,” says Weitzner. “Her pieces jumped right off the page and really spoke to me.” For the new designs, which debuted at Deco Off in Paris earlier this year, Hunt applied her signature repeat patterns of geometrics and bold graphics using a metallic sheen, creating a soft modernism that works in either traditional or contemporary settings. “I tend toward more organic patterns, but we want to have more geometry in our collections,” notes Weitzner. “There’s a subtlety to Hunt’s shapes that makes them exciting, yet also very easy on the eye.” weitznerlimited.com

LED lighting with warmth and a refined aesthetic.

Any challenges so far? We encountered our first problem the day we started, since it was during the 2008 recession. We were able to overcome that roadblock, which brings us to where we are today— working to counter the global pandemic.

What’s next? We want to build a Manufactory 4.0, a smart factory to upskill and augment the work of people through advanced manufacturing systems.

CHADDOCK x MARK D. SIKES Mark D. Sikes brings his elevated California design ethos to a curated, customizable furniture collection with North Carolina-based Chaddock and its CEO, Andrew Crone.

Walk us through the inspiration. MDS: We wanted to create allAmerican, versatile pieces. The design of several items was spurred by antiques I’m often hunting down for clients. What attracted you to this collaboration? AC: Mark is a wonderful partner for us because he understands the power of timeless elements and personalized details in a way that customers and clients understand them, too. Tell us about the materials. AC: Quality is the bedrock of what we do, so all of the “ingredients” are really important. We used a mixture of oak and maple wood species for the case goods. We love the dining chair and its versatility. MDS: Yes, it feels both feminine and masculine, and the scale works as a dining chair, a desk chair or a side chair.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

ROBERT KIME x TORY BURCH

Share the inspiration for the collection. RK: Our trip together to Japan was certainly the impetus. We went to wonderful places, stacked with beautiful documents but both gravitated toward the same designs. What excites you about Robert’s design aesthetic? TB: I’ve always been a huge admirer of Robert’s work, particularly his take on country homes. His approach is eclectic. I love how he has no rules, combining objects from different cultures and time periods. Nothing feels too designed. The patterns are so charming—what sentiment were you going for? RK: We leaned heavily into indigo, as there was so much of that simple dying technique found on our journey. The patterns are delightful, some small and some less so—but they each tell a story. How would we find them in your home? TB: I’ll mix and match the fabrics—nothing too perfect.

The Ume pattern (left) was inspired by an original Sarasa fragment from the Edo period and is still considered exotic and valuable in Japanese society today. Decorated with birds and bamboo, the Takeyabu design was drawn from a Bingata fabric, which traditionally depicts natural motifs. robertkime.com

SOCIETY SOCIAL x ARIEL OKIN When it comes to offering a fresh take on classic furniture, the seven-piece assortment by Society Social founder Roxy Te and New York-based designer Ariel Okin does just that.

This is a perfect match. How did you meet? RT: We connected in the modern way, via Instagram, chatting about everything from motherhood to design. Soon after, the idea of our line was born. Favorite part of collaborating? AO: Going back and forth on the sketches was such a fun experience for me. My inspiration images were really brought to life through Society Social’s talented artisans. Talk to us about your stylistic approach. RT: We wanted a look that is a soft ode to the classics but still evokes the comfort of home—designs that welcome effortless and inspired living. What’s important to keep in mind when designing furniture? AO: End use!

I ultimately felt drawn to design a furniture line because I wanted to create pieces that I couldn’t find for my own clients.

It’s important to really zero in on how the pieces will be used.

ATELIER VIME x FARROW & BALL

How did the partnership with Farrow & Ball transpire? AW: Our world is intimately linked to Provence and our 18th-century house in Vallabrègues. For a long time, we had considered recreating our objects in color. The methods used by Farrow & Ball fit our artisanal and sustainable approach perfectly. Favorite moment? CC: Like us, commitment to traditional production methods is important to Atelier Vime, so it was great to see this celebrated with handcrafted woodwork. The paint really brings the pieces to life. CC: Strong colors like these certainly add a statement to a room, but when used on wicker, they frame the light and respond to it. What tenets do you consider when designing?

AW: It has to be functional and poetic. I love to imagine a story behind each item.

One of Atelier Vime’s first designs, the Gabriel Ceiling Light harks back to a round utility basket originally made by the company in the 1950s and used for collecting fruit. Today, the wicker is cultivated and handcrafted in Provence.

B&B ITALIA x NAOTO FUKASAWA The connection runs deep for B&B Italia’s CEO Gilberto Negrini and Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, who teamed up again to create Ayana, a minimalist assemblage of outdoor items.

What attracted you to collaborate with Fukasawa? GN: His pure, light vision of design and the fact that his products are minimal and precise in their shapes and details. Most rewarding part of the process? NF: The most joyful stage for me is visiting the factory, seeing the prototypes and continuing to refine the pieces. We love the use of natural teak. GN: The unpainted teak allows the piece to age and evolve in the most genuine way. This project also has a green soul as all the materials can be separated and disposed of with respect for the environment at the end of the product’s life cycle. What excites you most about the collection? NF: The unique combination of essential shapes and natural wood is so elegant and sophisticated.

Combining Southeast Asian influences with a contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic, the outdoor teak Ayana armchair employs ancient construction. Each structure is completely free of metal elements and instead uses wooden pin joinery; the pieces are shown in Linaria green and gray fabrics. bebitalia.com

At a moment when our homes are more important than ever, kitchen and bath spaces have become the ultimate safe havens—somewhere we can pause, unwind and take comfort at the end of the day.

Today’s designers are incorporating minimalistic layouts, natural materials and soothing color palettes to create airy environments.

Designer Jennifer Kranitz of Project Interiors took those elements to heart for a spacious Chicago bathroom imagining “a quiet, gentle setting where the owners can hit mute on the chaos of life.”

Nestled high above the sprawling city of Chicago is this ideal urban oasis by designer Jennifer Kranitz of Project Interiors. Here, she walks us through the spectacular space, which involved combining two units in the luxury skyscraper. projectinteriors.com

Tell us about the decision to use plaster.

Plaster is the main finish here and is incorporated on the floors, walls, tub, shower—everything! It’s very durable and low-maintenance. The various applications create movement and allow your eye to travel around the space. Plus, the material almost has a velvety look, which adds a subtle texture and scale to this very large room.

What should be top of mind when designing a bathroom? While you want it to be pretty, it also has to work! Early on in the process, consider the functionality and how your client will live in the space. We were mindful of elements such as circulation, point of entry and storage while building this relaxing refuge.

photos: aimée mazzenga, courtesy project interiors.

That view! This bathroom offers an amazing cityscape. We took into consideration everything happening outside when creating the design.

We wanted it to be soft and serene in contrast to the city life visible through the floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

In a Dallas kitchen, architect Jason Erik Smith chose Ann Sacks’ Pietra Statuario for the island, which features a Houzer sink and Blanco faucet. “With four children, the island needed to be heroic,” Smith recalls.

THIS KITCHEN PROVES THAT AN AESTHETICS-FIRST APPROACH DOESN’T HAVE TO SACRIFICE FUNCTIONALITY. WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

The words “calm” and “kitchen” don’t always walk hand in hand. But for a Texas couple with four children, a Zen cooking hub was wish number one for their new home in the tony Dallas suburb of University Park.

With its organic material procession, the storagesavvy kitchen flows seamlessly into the openconcept great room—but that’s not to say it feels

indistinct. To delineate, the architects carried the rift-sawn white-oak flooring up the wall and across the ceiling like a ribbon on a gift. “What this does is create a room within a room,” Smith explains. “It’s a strategy we like to use to create intimacy within a big, open space.”

Rounding out the interiors, designer Jean Liu employed furnishings with clean lines and stalwart tendencies. A laminate top Saarinen table joined by walnut Cherner dining chairs creates a dégagé set-up for homework sessions and cocktail parties alike, while soaring Pindler curtain sheers and custom sisal rugs lend warmth and softness to the minimal scheme. “A limited color palette will always tone down hustle and bustle,” notes the designer, adding, “Every last detail in this space is choreographed, which creates a sense of serenity and calmness.” smitharc.com; jeanliudesign.com

PALETTE CLEANSER

“The idea was not to think of it as a kitchen, but as a beautiful space that happens to have all the amenities and comforts of one,” explains architect Jason Erik Smith. To meet this brief, the team at Smitharc Architects prioritized concealing as much visual clutter as possible. Along the north wall, a series of discreet doors encloses both refrigerator and dishware storage. Beyond, in the handsome back-of-house area, a shallow corridor hosts built-in small appliances before revealing a walk-in pantry and coffee bar. And equal parts design statement and workhorse, the impressive, 15-foot-long sintered porcelain island houses two dishwashers and a downdraft cooktop, in addition to generous drawer space.

TALKING SHOP MARIE-CHRISTINE DESIGN

When Marie-Christine McNally decided to expand her Sag Harbor office, first, she sought a straightforward work space. But when the lease opened up for a roomy, sun-drenched unit at the Red Horse Plaza (“East Hampton’s own mini design district,” she jokes.) a light bulb went off: Why not build a design studio—part office, part cabinet of curiosities—instead? Below, McNally previews the chic mix. mariechristinedesign.com Walk us through the space—what’s on the shelves, so to speak? There are contemporary pieces, primarily designed by us, but most of the inventory is found objects. My mother had a French antiques business, and I grew up accompanying her on buying trips. One of the most exciting aspects of opening this shop was the idea that I could do this again. It’s a mix of furniture, art and accessories collected over the last decade—it’s really just a curated collection of things I love.

also exemplifies a French approach to design. The shop feels timeless and elegant, yet unfussy and effortless. It’s an unexpected mix that transcends the typical boundaries of traditional versus modern.

You’ve mentioned this French lineage plays into your sensibilities. Much of our inventory was purchased in France, but I think our merchandising

Three words to set the scene—go: Neutral, timeless and textured. We offer unique, off-beat pieces that elevate and complete a space.

Any standout pieces? A few favorites are an 1800s black-painted desk, an enormous midcentury Brutalist sideboard and Pierre Paulin’s F44 lounge chair in the most perfect vintage leather. I also love our quirky little abstract accessories and artworks.

LITERAL LANDSCAPE ESKAYEL

ROBERT MCKINLEY AND KATE NAUTA Designer Robert McKinley and singer/songwriter Kate Nauta hold a special affection for the Hamptons after falling in love and later marrying on its beaches. Their latest adventure? Renovating a trio of rentable, shoppable bungalows in Montauk. Here, the couple maps a dreamy summer Saturday. mckinleybungalow.com 9 a.m. We almost always eat breakfast at home—often a frittata with garden herbs and fresh fruit from Balsam Farms.

5 p.m. Sunned out, we’ll listen to records on our turntable and make gin and tonics with rosemary from the garden.

10 a.m. We pack our truck with surfboards and head to the beach (Ditch Plains or Poles). En route, we’ll grab a gourmet salad or wrap from Naturally Good Foods & Cafe. If we’re craving something refreshing, we’ll run to Happy Bowls for the tastiest açaí bowls.

7 p.m. If we don’t entertain, we’ll head to Crow’s Nest for dinner and The Surf Lodge for music. It’s a special place for us; Rob was co-founder and designer and I (Kate) perform there. Both are closed at the moment, but we look forward to supporting them and other local businesses soon!

BUTTERFLY effect WYETH

John Birch, owner of midcentury mecca Wyeth, knows a lot about vintage furniture…and butterflies. The latter passion started 10 years ago when a caterpillar crawled into the Sagaponack store and formed its chrysalis right onto a Wegner Peacock chair and was left in peace to complete its metamorphosis. With plenty of milkweed on the store’s property, it was a haven for the butterflies—every year Birch would watch the cycle unfold right outside the front door, where eventually the insects would fly north to Canada and then south to Mexico for the winter. But as the milkweed dwindled, Birch brought them inside for what has become a recurring summer residence.

“There is a perfection to them that I equate to what I see and work with—there is a consistency in the level of quality,” he says. wyeth.nyc

ITINERARY

All hail the modern toile—especially one named “Out East.” The recently launched wallpaper comes from the creative hand of artist Shanan Campanaro, founder of textile design studio Eskayel, in collaboration with Anna Cappelen and Chloe Pollack-Robbins of design firm Curious Yellow. Developing the one-off design was as easygoing as the attitude of the Springs enclave where Campanaro has a home: Pollack-Robbins came to her with the idea of creating a Hamptons-centric toile, and Campanaro got painting. “When I started, I thought we’d go more abstract,” notes the artist. “I surprised myself with how realistic it turned out.” Available in two colorways, the pattern depicts local scenes from the Sag Harbor Cinema to rolling farmlands. eskayel.com; curiousyellownyc.com; studiofournyc.com

▲ MARRAM

Simple luxuries and a surfer’s disposition guide the design at the Marram hotel. “We wanted to reflect the hyper-local mentality that everything you need is right in front of you,” explains Brian Smith of Studio Tack, who led the architecture, interiors and landscaping. Complementing an envelope of white-oak woodwork and creamy Japanese plaster, the Brooklyn-based firm commissioned bespoke details, like hand-dyed jute rugs, canvas artworks by New England artist Sean Spellman and paper light sculptures curated with assistance from The Noguchi museum. “We were mindful that this is one of the few remaining places where the wildness of the landscape is fiercely celebrated, so we didn’t want it to seem exclusive,” notes Smith. “We like to say that the hotel doesn’t erect fences—it grows them.” studiotack.com; marrammontauk.com

⊳ SEL RROSE MONTAUK “One of the first things we did was paint the floors pink,” shares architect Francine Monaco of the renovation at Sel Rrose Montauk.

This cheeky choice is just one of many idiosyncratic details that Manhattan-based firm D’Aquino Monaco used to set the venue apart from its local counterparts. “We didn’t want this to be an expected beachfront restaurant,” Monaco notes. “It brings a bit of sophisticated design from the city without any selfconsciousness, but at the same time, it lives within this light, bright, woodframed structure.” The whimsical interiors—inspired in part by Dorothy Draper’s grand use of scale—count an all-day lounge tented in pinstripe linen and a breezy dining room featuring a custom mural of oversize florals and crustaceans overlaid with plaid latticework amongst the design highlights. daquinomonaco.com; selrrose.com 124 / luxesource.com

LUXE TALKS ART, BEAUTY AND EAST END INSPIRATIONS WITH A CROP OF VIBRANT LOCAL TALENTS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

ALMOND ZIGMUND VISUAL ARTIST, EAST HAMPTON

Primary mediums: Wood and paint, but the materials that work their way in unintentionally are what most excite me. In her own words: I make objects and environments that challenge one’s perception and way of looking at an existing space. Currently exploring: The relationship between the body and abstract form. On the shelf: The Swerve by Stephen Greenblatt. I’m interested in the history of thought and how cultural ideology has been shaped through time. Creative fix: I look at artists I love and work with collage. Coming up: A large-scale public commission. Arts evolution: The Guild Hall Artist-in-Residence Program, the residences at the Watermill Center and the Platform project at the Parrish Art Museum have created a more dynamic, diverse chorus of voices contributing to the scene. Natural wonders: Northwest Harbor, Louse Point and the Montauk cliffs. almondzigmund.com

ARTWORK: UNTITLED FLORAL 50 BY BILL TANSEY. RG STACKED QUAD BY ALMOND ZIGMUND, COURTESY RUSSELL STEELE.

Bread and butter: Most of my paintings have a floral theme.

Because of my experience in the events industry, I’m very familiar with the vocabulary of flowers.

I love that in each month, new palettes and textures present themselves. Lore to love: Even with all the current grandness on the East End, the spirit of the original settlers is still present. Windmills, back-road farms and secluded coves can be found, which lends a sense of history. Admirable locals: Eric Fischl for his examination of the unspoken undercurrent of suburban life, and David Salle, who is a genius at recreating visual elements of popular culture. Artist’s approach: Never remain stagnant; there is freedom in not being tied to one path. billtansey.com

Naturally inclined: My artistic practice is rooted in processes that are directly tied to nature and the outdoors. Whether it’s gathering seaweed and salt peat from the winter beaches in order to fire my ceramic clay pots outdoors, or harvesting bamboo when the sap is rising, my process is firmly rooted in our seasonal cycles out east. Happy trio: I employ three principle materials: clay (ceramic), kozo bark fiber (handmade paper) and sterling silver ( jewelry). Shaped by: Musicians. I love conscious music that enlivens and informs our collective experience. I also draw influence from visual artists such as Lucie Rie, Lee Bontecou, Hans Coper and many others. Local treasures: The exquisite stone artifacts that reflect the incomprehensibly beautiful material culture produced by the Manhasset and other indigenous peoples here. Must visit: LongHouse Reserve—the landmark home and institution Jack Lenor Larsen built in East Hampton. Find him: Conklin Point in Southold, Bostwick Point on Gardiners Island and in my kayak, wherever it may be traveling. johnpagsart.com

Comeback kid: I was born in Southampton, by chance, and while I grew up in the city, I always knew I would return to this area to raise my children. Working in: Oil on canvas.

I sculpt with traditional oil painting materials as well: wood armatures wrapped in canvas, primed and painted. Recent foray: Opening up the layers between surfaces.

I have been pouring thick coats of resin over oil paintings and then painting again over the resin. This approach forces the viewer to experience the work in relation to their line of sight. It becomes sculptural.

Sense of place: It’s the quietness and peace of life here that allows my work to be so grounded. It is painting about painting, and my subjects are mostly unassuming: A vase of flowers on an edge of a table, a landscape, a wave, a figure. Local love: For the past 100 years, the Hamptons has had a frontrow view of art history. It makes me think that I am not totally lost in space— smile, head down, get back in the studio, work, work, surf, work, surf. dyektai.com

MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST, EAST HAMPTON

SABRA MOON ELLIOT ARTIST, BRIDGEHAMPTON

Mixed mediums: I’m always looking to say similar things in different mediums. Painting is so meditative for me while ceramics is so tactile and satisfying—you can express a physical story with it.

Next up: I’ve been thinking a lot about space: outer space, inner space, compositional space, spaces we occupy, feeling spaced out. Some of the work is pretty psychedelic and might make you feel spacey—I hope. Read up: On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, and I recently saw the Donald Judd exhibit at MOMA and bought the book, so I’m reading that. Good company: We live in the coolest neighborhood: Candace Hill Montgomery, Mary Heilmann and Steve White are all really neat artists on our block.

On inspiration: Nature, the ocean, the farm fields and the great artists and writers who live out here. I’m constantly influenced by other artists. When I get in a rut, I imagine two artists’ work having a baby and what that would look like. sabramoonelliot.com

Back to basics: I’ve always considered myself a drawing person—it’s the foundation of every mode in my opinion. Formative influences: The work of the Surrealists, especially Dalí and Ernst, as well as contemporary artists like Vija Celmins, Neo Rauch and Peter Doig. But I draw from everyone, including the early master engravers and print artists. Summer reading: I just finished The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel about a hermit who lived completely alone in a campsite in Maine for 27 years—a perfect fantasy for our times. I’m also reading Pascal Baudar’s Wildcrafted Fermentation, a master class in preserving foraged foods. Highlight reel: Secret coves of Montauk, Luigi’s for sandwiches and The Ladies Village Improvement Society of East Hampton for treasure hunting. Needed now: A shared studio center would benefit the art community, creating affordable studio space for younger artists as well as a venue to show work. More exhibitions will be pop-up events in novel locations or held virtually. But art, like life, always finds a way. scottbluedorn.com

With nature as her muse, Land of Belle founder Annabelle Moehlmann designed a color palette to feel harmonious with the sight lines. “We drew upon the crisp blue sky, the warm earth tones of the rocky beach below, and the mossy greens and burnt umber of the hedges and dune grass swaying in the breeze to create a scheme that feels fresh, earthy and timelessly chic at once,” she notes.

This page: The cedar-clad façade of the recently renovated trailer nods to its storied neighbors to the east—McKim, Mead and White’s Seven Sisters—which are a treat to behold from the dinner table. At the bluff’s edge, Moehlmann created “a secondary spot for sunset hors d’oeuvres overlooking the beach, with blankets to cozy up with as the evening wind rolls in.”

Opposite: Atop the table, an eclectic mix of elements suggests effortless aplomb. Natural touches, including Land of Belle’s fiesta placemats and bamboo flatware, mingle with mismatched patterned linens and dishware, and local, seasonal blooms by Sag Harbor Florist grouped in lowslung, single-bloom tumbler arrangements. As for the final flourish? An artful sprinkling of collected shells and stones “to create a festive, casual mood,” says Moehlmann.

f you’re lucky enough to pass through the gates of the Montauk Shores Condominium, the scent is the first thing that hits you. It’s a scraped-off-the-ocean-floor brine that can only be found at the wildest Atlantic beaches. What hits you next is the visual, for the beachfront condo association is in fact a trailer park replete with vintage Winnebagos and postage stamp-sized yards. Admittedly, with one of America’s best surfing beaches as the backdrop, the humble setting takes on an exalted quality.

One mobile home manages to stand out while blending in with its environs—perhaps unsurprisingly, as it bears the stamp of architect Frederick Stelle. Lending a warm, minimalist sensibility honed over 35-plus years living in the area, Stelle embarked on a top-to-bottom

LX_HAM07_Entertaining.indd 141

renovation of his clients’ standard-issue trailer, reinforcing the flimsy structure, refinishing the interiors and cladding the façade in cedar shiplap and the roof in galvanized steel. “One thing that all of our projects have in common is materials that stand up to the elements while weathering,” says Stelle. “The houses that have always appealed to me most look like they’ve suffered life’s slings and arrows but are still standing proudly.”

Another hardy material choice befitting the oceanfront setting: The wraparound deck Stelle fashioned of mahogany, a tropical hardwood that “doesn’t rot and doesn’t get beat up,” he notes.

Seated at the built-in bench that runs the trailer’s eastern perimeter, the focus by design is not on the architecture, but on the magnificent views.

The eye sweeps across conservation land dotted with bayberry, black pines and native grasses, up to the Seven Sisters—the iconic cluster of Shingle-style homes designed by McKim, Mead and White in the 1880s—down the steps to the rocky shore and finally, out to sea. Adds the architect, “Designing houses that take advantage of a place without dominating is always our goal. It’s all about protecting the land of which we are the stewards.”

To celebrate the spirit of this singular retreat— simplicity, bohemianism, connection to nature— Luxe tapped home brand Land of Belle (a curated collection of home accessories from leading brands and artisans, with Hamptons roots) to design a gathering befitting the unspoiled beauty of its surroundings. stelleco.com; landofbelle.com

each, pool, sun, open-roof driving—all of those things are what I consider to be paradise,” says homeowner Georges Arbache. With those simple pleasures top of mind, it’s only fitting then that the Manhattan-based investment banker set his sights out east for a second home to unwind on the weekends.

The search for an all-season getaway pad led Georges to a turn-key Colonial in East Hampton with an open floor plan and a backyard oasis—both of which were essentials for the consummate entertainer. Upon the recommendation of a friend, Georges next turned to designer Dan Mazzarini for help infusing the blank canvas with high style and all the comforts befitting a home devoted to R&R. “The bones were there,” says Mazzarini. “It was ready for us to just do a blitz on it.”

Blitz being the key word because, with summer fast approaching, Mazzarini, alongside team member Susan Evans, had a mad-dash 10-week timeline to design and execute. Luckily, the duo intuited exactly what their client wanted. “Georges has clean, simple taste and he likes midcentury” says Mazzarini. “He wanted his Hamptons house to be a bit more casual and layered than what he has in the city, which is more buttoned-up and polished.” luxesource.com / 143

Warm and welcoming was the concept for the foyer of this East Hampton vacation home. Designer Dan Mazzarini flanked an oversize mirror from Mecox Gardens with Ralph Lauren for Visual Comfort & Co. sconces, providing a light-filled greeting for guests. The vintage flatwoven rug keeps the vibe beachy.

LX_HAM07_HOM_Mazzarini_6.indd 144

In the central living area where friends and family can gather, Mazzarini channeled “a crisp, masculine vibe” with evenings of merriment a priority. “Approachability was one of the strongest qualifiers,” notes the designer. “Georges didn’t want people to be afraid to put their feet up, or of spilling.” A taupe sofa in a stain-resistant fabric, a blackupholstered daybed and a leather egg chair meet the brief, providing a plethora of places for guests to lounge after dinner. Of the addition of oversize accent pillows and layered rugs to the scheme, Mazzarini notes, “textiles are important in softening edges.”

Ease and comfort guide the design once more in the adjacent dining area. Georges and his friends all love to cook, so maintaining an open, welcoming feel between the kitchen and dining space was paramount. Midcentury modern chairs with comfy, upholstered seats encourage lingering over home-cooked meals, while decisions like a black-stained oak table and lack of rug beneath promote convivial evenings that are anything but formal.

7/1/20 6:10 PM

“This isn’t just a summer home,” Mazzarini says. “This is a four-season house and we needed to consider that.” A vintage daybed upholstered in Zak + Fox fabric and an Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair prove to be perfect perches around the fire during the winter. The raw plaster coffee table—a roomy grazing surface for cocktails and appetizers—is by Oken House Studios.

But while the common areas cater to a house full of guests, the double-height master bedroom is Georges’ private refuge. To complement the room’s soaring ceiling, Mazzarini sourced a four-poster bed with strong architectural lines and a large hanging lantern, layering in a patterned rug, ombré drapes and a woven leather settee for texture and balance. “We needed to scale everything up—the lighting, the nightstands—because it’s a very big space,” says the designer. “We didn’t want a lot of little pieces.” The result is an airy escape that feels cozy despite its grand size. “One of my favorite things to do is wake up on the weekends and have my coffee in bed, because it’s such a wonderful room,” says Georges.

Fittingly for a house by the sea, crisp whites and soft neutrals are a constant thread throughout the home—but

there is one notable exception: The library, where the designer had other plans. “We were making this easy, breezy house, and then I said, ‘And I think the library should be black!’ ” laughs Mazzarini. “Georges said, ‘You’re going to have to talk to me about that one.’ ” It took a little convincing, but the finished room, with its painted black beadboard, charcoal wallpaper and graphic book display, has become “a fan favorite,” says the designer. “It’s this kind of eyeliner upon how light and lovely everything else is.”

Ten weeks may not have been much time to create a home away from home, but BHDM nailed it. Notes Georges in a definitive stamp of approval, “having this escape from the city, honestly, has been transformational to my life.”

Hamptons beach is beautiful in a subtle way.

It doesn’t confront us with dramatic forms or clamor for attention. Instead, it lulls us with its reliable rhythms, calming textures and quiet hues that shift softly from sand to sea to sky.

Not far from the shore in the hamlet of Wainscott, there’s a house with an equally gentle nature. Designed for a Manhattan-based family, it’s large but with a comfortable intimacy that belies its size. On the outside, it nods to its neighbors with wood-shingled walls and gambrel roofs inspired by the local vernacular. Inside, it celebrates the elegant simplicity of a few humble materials. “The emphasis is on what you use and how you use it—and whatever we do, we like to do it with two or three pieces of material,” says architect Howard Backen, who partnered with architect Loren Kroeger to design the home, which was built by Kevin Warren and later updated by Mathias Thoerner.

In this case, the architects and designer Brad Krefman used combinations of reclaimed wood, bluestone and beachy white wood planks to give spaces a sense of unpretentious luxury.

The home’s first floor, which includes a large entertaining kitchen and a great room with areas for lounging and dining, is defined by warm, rustic finishes, including reclaimed European oak floors, whitewashed vertical wall planking and hefty, exposed beams that span the wood-clad ceilings. On the second and third floors, the paneled walls and ceilings are painted a soft white color, creating a lighter mood for a more casual kitchen, living areas and a handful of bedrooms.

“Downstairs you feel quite different than you do upstairs—that was the idea,” Backen says, “but they’re good neighbors.”

As for the interior design, “the clients wanted this home to provide a place to be more carefree; a real contrast to their more formal and structured life in the city,” explains Krefman. With that in mind, and with the clients’ collection of Asian furnishings and artwork as a guide, Krefman began searching for new and antique pieces that felt approachable enough for a casual beach house, yet fine enough to match the quality of the architecture. For the

Designer Brad Krefman’s search for a “great” dining table ended at Tucker Robbins’ studio in New York, resulting in a custom piece from a slab of live-edge acacia wood. To complement its rich grain, the designer layered in more texture: Roman and Williams Guild’s Seamoor chairs with woven seagrass backs and seats, lanterns from Bone Simple Design with copper filigree outer shades by Zak & Fox, and a Japanese tansu chest and sumi ink drawing from the homeowners’ collection.

Durable finishes in soft, beachy hues—reclaimed wall and ceiling paneling from Arc Wood & Timbers, cabinets clad with vertical wood planks, bluestone floors and a sink wrapped in Bardiglio Light marble— make this mudroom a charming place to rinse off the sand before entering the home’s living spaces.

great room, he took cues from Belgian design guru Axel Vervoordt when selecting a linen-slipcovered sofa and armchairs to face the fireplace, and when giving other key pieces—including a Wegner hammock chair and surfboardshaped solid-wood coffee tables—plenty of room to breathe. “The goal was striking that balance of the space feeling furnished and full, but still leaving a lot of room for the pieces to hold their own,” he says.

In the adjacent dining area, an antique Japanese tansu chest from the clients’ collection does just that while complementing the warm wood tones of a custom acaciawood dining table and an antique French dressmaker’s table that functions as a sideboard, room divider and display area for beachcombers’ finds. Meanwhile, upstairs

Krefman chose refined, comforting details befitting the seaside setting. Case in point: The monochromatic mix of linen-upholstered furnishings and pewter-gray bedding in the master bedroom, which defers to views of nearby Wainscott Pond and the sea beyond.

There and throughout the house, soft colors and textures feel perfectly at home amid their surroundings—which is no accident, as Krefman explains. “If you take a handful of sea glass and sand, you get this crazy range of neutrals, and always these pinks and blues. So, it’s like we took a handful of the beach and built a color palette around it.” It’s little wonder then that here, whether you’re inside or outside, there’s never any doubt you’re in a place designed to capture—and celebrate—the quiet beauty of the shore.

In the master bathroom, Sun Valley Bronze hardware and basketweave marble mosaic floor tile from Waterworks create crisp moments of contrast. The Lenox medicine cabinet and Oliver sconce are both from Urban Archaeology.

n Angeleno by way of London, designer Jake Arnold has worked primarily on the West Coast with occasional forays east—but never to the Hamptons. That changed recently thanks to an about-to-be-married Manhattan couple who tapped him to bring his laid-back California essence to their new digs. To say the opportunity was catnip for the designer is an understatement. “It gave me the chance to expand my horizons,” says Arnold. “I loved the chance to take in a different lifestyle. I would always stay a few days during each visit and get to know the area.”

Beyond pushing him outside of his geographical comfort zone, the project held further creative appeal. Arnold came on at the beginning of the ground-up project, allowing him to collaborate with Farrell Building Company on the plan and layout, and put his stamp on just about everything. “That was the fun part—going from choosing plumbing fixtures down to the dishes,” the designer recalls. One of his highest

LX_HAM07_HOM_Arnold_6.indd 158

impact decisions was establishing the home’s overall look.

Notes Arnold, “We wanted Shingle style, but I said, ‘Why don’t we do black because you don’t see those all the time?’ ” This translates to the exterior feeling of-a-piece with its more traditional neighbors, but the matte black color sets it apart as a modern riff on the vernacular.

Inside, Arnold’s moody-hued take on Hamptons style is just as enticing. “We kept colors dark and neutral to maintain tonality,” explains the designer. “We wanted strong but easy on the eyes.” A sea of black, pebble and chestnut tones lace through the timber-beamed great room, coming to a crescendo in the adjoining den, which Arnold designed as “a jewel box to be seen from the living space.” There, he employed velvet drapes, floral wallpaper and painted wainscoting to cozy effect. Equally cocooning is the master bedroom, which manages to feel breezy in spite of its black plaster paint walls. “In summer, it’s actually quite nice to retreat to a darker, cooler room,” he muses.

Designer Jake Arnold chose off-black shingles and board-andbatten siding “as a contrast to the typical Hamptons home, which is mostly bright and light,” he explains.

“The idea of a black exterior seems really daunting but is in fact extremely calming and inviting.”

7/1/20 6:02 PM

As with all successful design, Arnold took great care in maintaining balance. “I love primitive pieces, and it would have been easy to stay in that lane, but you could end up being too on the nose,” he says. Instead, furnishing choices are a measured mix. For every rustic form, there are contemporary counterweights—a dichotomy on display in the dining area, which features a custom dining table made from salvaged timber surrounded by a reclaimed bench paired with vintage Niels O. Møller chairs. “Not everyone loves a bench, but these clients cook and their entertaining style is interactive and casual, so it suits them,” adds Arnold.

So in tune was designer with client that the couple even enlisted Arnold’s help in curating items for their wedding registry—many of which now sing from the kitchen’s open

shelving. Furniture sourcing, too, was collaborative and convivial. Early on, the designer took the couple on a local shopping excursion, yielding a pair of leather club chairs and an antique rug that now reside in the den. “Those were the first pieces we bought and they stayed in storage until install,” says Arnold. “The best part of the reveal is when the clients see something we bought together in context.”

With his maiden Hamptons design voyage in the books, Arnold has the chance to reflect on his work and likes what he sees. “All of my projects are different, but they share a lineage: how they feel rather than look. This home holds up within the work I do, but it offers a different dialogue.

It goes to show that you can achieve both classic and timeless and updated and relevant without being trendy.”

“I’m not a wallpaper person at all, but every time I use it, I use a William Morris design,” Arnold says of the Morris & Co. heritage print he chose for the den. Combined with Farrow & Ball Studio Green paint on the wainscoting and ceiling, lush draperies in a Holland & Sherry velvet and a Trnk NYC sofa, the space feels like a welcoming retreat.

Whether they feature infrastructures that make the integration of automation possible or tight structural envelopes that ensure the best use of climate resources, homes by Cornerstone Contracting create new standards for smart and healthy living. The key is that the firm’s team be brought in at the start. “Our early involvement in the preconstruction process enables our project managers to assist and inform clients on all of the latest technologies,” says George Pusser, company president, who runs Cornerstone alongside vice president Sean Flood and CFO Derek D’Ambra. “Programs like those from Savant, Crestron and Control4 can help homeowners to modulate lighting, media, climate, window coverings and more.” These high-tech systems should ideally be incorporated in initial architectural plans, so hiring a contractor up front to collaborate with designers is a good move.

K

nowing the clients and what they love, that was our starting point,” says designer Richard Ouellette of the Manhattan holiday home he created for a Canadian couple and their children.

“This was our third project together and it’s always a very kismet experience.” The directive behind the brief made this particular project all the more enticing. “They wanted something ‘unexpected,’ ” Ouellette recalls—a word he immediately took to heart.

To emphasize that this is a vacation home and meant to be enjoyed differently than their primary residence, Ouellette’s first step was distilling the couple’s aesthetic within the modern, cosmopolitan context. “The wife likes an English, layered, decorated look,” he explains. “This isn’t a total departure from their style, but it’s done here in a more restrained, pure way.” So while the apartment bears all the hallmarks of what they love—texture, rich color and a European sophistication—it’s not heavy with overtly personal touches or the sentimentality that comes with heirloom furnishings or memorabilia. The family just “comes in and lives,” he says. “It’s easy.”

Throughout the condo, the designer strove to echo the architecture’s clean lines while infusing warmth, but he kept the unexpected directive top of mind. Case in point: The living area, where the first piece he designed was an angled ultra-suede sofa to shake up the layout. “We could have done the usual, formal approach of a sofa, coffee table and two chairs, but going with a deconstructed sofa felt

“NATURE NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION; IT BRINGS LIFE INTO A HOUSE.” –RICHARD OUELLETTE

LX_NY48_HOM_Ouellette_12_NAT55pickup.indd 178

dynamic. It’s meant to be an evolving and casual setting,” notes the designer. In conversation across the room, Ouellette next procured a cherry red leather daybed, a piece he describes as “a nod to Mies van der Rohe and brilliantly functional, but also a playground for the kids.”

Harmonizing the unconventional scheme, discreet textural elements, such as creamy cashmere draperies and a sisal underlay rug, add softness and calm.

Ouellette took an equally curated approach to dressing the walls. He sourced arresting textile artworks, including a hemp-and-ceramic hanging by Michele Quan and a wool tapestry by Lauren Williams, to enliven cool expanses of white paint. And to draw in the views—the new residential building is located above the High Line and boasts its own spectacular gardens designed by Future Green Studio— the designer chose a selection of landscapes and large green-and-blue abstractions from Thom Filicia’s showroom, Sedgwick & Brattle. “Nature always needs to be part of the conversation,” Ouellette posits. “It brings life into a house.”

From their dégage leaning perches above the living room credenza, those colorful pieces command attention, but it’s the feature wall backdrop in the adjacent dining area that really steals the show. To define that space, Ouellette framed a quartet of sweeping, pink silk de Gournay panels in a classic chinoiserie motif. Hung snugly together, they almost suggest boiserie. Illuminating the scene, the bespoke chandelier—a “bijoux” in Ouellette’s words—was chosen specifically to reflect the soft candy hues of the panels. “It’s subtle, but it’s there,” notes the designer of the tonal relationship.

“It’s just more fun to have color,” muses Ouellette— a sentiment on proud display in the home’s uplifting bedrooms. The master is a study in the power of opposites with its kicky orange-and-blue palette, and the boys’ rooms as well are vibrant with color, one with a lively jungle wallpaper and the other with an underwater scene.

Proving just how flexible and accommodating this new condo has already been, the latter was originally intended to be a study, but baby number two arrived mid-design.

What Ouellette has captured here is the essence of this family’s life on vacation, which he describes as “calm, simple and happy.” But it’s not time to put away the presentation boards just yet. The group has just embarked on its fourth project together. This time it’s a cottage on a lake, and one that will no doubt emanate ease and be filled with equally resplendent surprises.

“Bold colors and patterns add energy to a neutral base,� says Richard Ouellette of a West Chelsea condo he designed for a Canadian family.

In the living area, the RH bookshelf displays a curated mix of objets, including a link sculpture by Michele Quan, a ceramic bowl by Matthew Ward and an iron vessel by Jake Szymanski. The red leather chaise is from BassamFellows and the Persian rug is from W Studio in Toronto.

R

esidents of Brooklyn’s leafy Fort Greene enclave for more than a decade, husbands Glenn Hill and Peter Rider enjoyed the sort of tight-knit community commonly associated with small-town life: greeting neighbors by first name, walking to the nearby park and arranging playdates for their three children. When one neighbor heard through the grapevine that they were looking to buy, he gave them first dibs on the wood-framed 1854 townhouse he had lovingly cared for and called home since the 1980s. “It had only been in two families for the past 100 years,” Peter shares, adding that the former owner bought it from a woman who had lived there since 1918.

While well-maintained, the landmark-status property would need quite a bit of modernizing to suit the family’s needs. So before purchasing, they asked close friend and interior designer Elena Frampton to walk through and imagine the prospects. Frampton was equally smitten: “We loved the old flavor of the house, but it needed updating,” she recalls. “That tightrope of what to keep and what to change was really key to the project.” A hypersensitive approach to balancing old with new would guide the renovation the trio embarked upon alongside architect Bryan Min and general contractor Brian Arkison.

Beyond old with new, the interior designer sought to balance warmth with coolness—a dichotomy achieved by employing a gray and blue base palette to temper the rich, exposed wood architectural elements throughout.

Pale gray walls and a painterly cobalt stair runner establish the color story in the entry hall, which gives way to the grand living room. There, a tone-on-tone blue rug anchors neutral furnishings arranged in an informal, asymmetrical layout. Adding further interest to the scheme, Frampton

“THAT TIGHTROPE OF WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO CHANGE WAS KEY TO THE PROJECT.” –ELENA FRAMPTON

designed a vibrant art concept, mingling new pieces— including a Jack Youngerman diptych and Andrew Moore photograph flanking the fireplace—with her clients’ collection of flea market finds, freshly framed. “The art is a lead character,” Frampton notes. “It’s a mix of mediums and comes together in a very interesting, personal way.

The pairing of cool hues and warm woods continues into the adjacent dining room and extends on to the renovated galley kitchen, where a blue-green glazed-brick floor tile arranged in a herringbone pattern plays off custom oak cabinetry. “The kitchen was really like a boat-building exercise,” Frampton adds, noting that the cabinetry reaches the ceiling to take advantage of every square inch of storage.

But while utility and kid-friendliness distinguish the family home, the second-floor master suite, which includes a bedroom, a bathroom accessed via a custom walnut dressing room and a “gentleman’s lounge,” is a dreamy retreat all for the grown-ups. “That’s the space where we said, ‘Let’s have some fun,’ ” Frampton says of the latter.

A wallpaper depicting flowers and tropical birds and midcentury furnishings re-covered in menswear textiles suggest so much. “Peter is drawn to granny chic. Glenn is more Brooklyn nautical,” Frampton shares, to which Peter adds, “Elena knows what each of our aesthetics are, finds the overlap between them and pushes us to be bolder.”

And of course, enveloping the interiors are the historic bones Min and Arkison restored and celebrated. In addition to collaborating with the Landmarks Preservation Commission on architectural changes—the most prolific of which being a new skylight above the stairwell—Min took choice restorations into his own hands. For example, he conceived a missing railing balustrade by piecing together several salvaged ones from a lumber yard. And to make the original floors sing, he carefully replaced discolored filler between the planks with new fill, faux finishing it to match the wood. “It needed a more finessed touch rather than an off-the-shelf solution,” the architect notes.

Arkison’s role was equally dynamic. His millwork shop fabricated the bespoke cabinetry throughout the home, and among many discreet yet impactful updates, he replaced old radiators with streamlined ones, reappointed original doors, baseboards and trim and added central air conditioning with concealed ductwork as to not call attention to the renovation. “Being authentic is important in an old town house,” Arkison says.

Indeed, authenticity may be this home’s greatest qualifier.

“There’s so much newness in New York, and that’s one of the great things about the city, but I also just love the specific sense of time and continuity that you get from living in an older house that you know the direct lineage of,” Peter says. “That’s rare in New York.”

fter designing two previous residences for longtime clients in the Westport community, each one inching closer to the water than its predecessor, designer Terri Ricci knew this house was a culmination of their dreams: in the historic district and right on the waterfront, with vast views of the sound. That’s not to say it was their dream on the inside. “The layout was very boxy, very quirky and very choppy,” Ricci recalls. But for a forever property, the couple was game for a major renovation.

Ricci first met her clients some 20 years ago when she was running the interiors department at Ike Kligerman Barkley. The relationship continued when she went out on her own, as did the clients’ relationship with the architecture firm, and the results of the collaboration speak to an enduring symbiosis. For home number three, architect Joel Barkley and associate Yi Huang oversaw the massive overhaul. “We kept the perimeter and roofline, but I don’t think we left any of the interior studs intact,” Huang says.

The house was entirely reconfigured with a new layout— one distinguished by a creative use of scale, where airy passageways lead to intimate chambers. “The goal was to maximize the views, but we also wanted to keep the rooms cozy. It wasn’t meant to feel like a big estate,” says Huang.

Taking precedence, the clients sought a home that would cocoon the two of them but also be gracious enough for entertaining. One clever solution was the addition of a fourseason porch separated from the living room by glass doors and replete with an outdoor fireplace, bluestone flooring with radiant heat and hurricane-proof roller shades.

When it came to architectural detailing, the team opted for details true to the home’s classic, coastal roots, such as floating crown moldings that double as bookshelves, vertical wood cladding and intentionally snug eaves. “We all liked the home’s eccentricities,” notes general contractor George Desmond, explaining of the latter that “some doors were clipped where the roofline is dropped, like you see in a lot of original beach houses, which gives character.”

“We were trying to marry the charm and authenticity of an old New England cottage with the demands of a modern lifestyle,” adds Ricci. Earthy, timeworn details like the kitchen’s reclaimed oak island top and rustic wood accent furnishings artfully placed throughout nod to age and patina, while material notes like white-oak floors, creamy plaster walls and a continuous backsplash and countertop in Imperial Danby marble keep the ethos clean and contemporary.

Predicating flow, the designer carefully employed seating arrangements to carve out purposeful vignettes.

In the living room, a curved sofa faces an aubergine armchair and a three-way fireplace, delineating the

quiet conversation area from the dining room behind it.

Two steps west is a cozy den with inky blue walls and a tweed-upholstered sectional perfect for curling up with a good book. And across the way, in an equally intimate sitting room boasting three walls of windows, four oversize lounge chairs create snug proportions, and the feel is almost as though on a ship.

Of course, significant coastal renovations are subject to FEMA regulations, and this one rose—literally—to meet those challenges while practically concealing all evidence.

Lattice panels elegantly link the stone piers that elevate the home in the event of high waters and the garage walls are designed to break away in a storm, preventing damage to the structure. Meanwhile, tempering the home’s verticality are considered plantings by landscape designer Britton Rogers, another Ike Kligerman Barkley alum. “To soften the impact of a house raised so high,” he says, “layers of native, salt-tolerant plant choices in several scales complement the structure.” Trees including beech, oak and hornbeam make the house look less tall, and sweet autumn clematis and climbing hydrangeas “help connect to the landscape,” he explains.

Given the spectacular surrounds, the clients tend toward an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Entertaining centers on the porch, which hosts dinner parties throughout the seasons and the family Christmas tree over the holidays. And indoors, no matter where you look, the views are inescapable by design. “The water and natural light are always a direct point of contact,” says Ricci. In such a setting, she adds, “that’s what you want.”

Above: Soft textures and ease of use were objectives in the sun-washed kitchen.

As such, warmth emanates from the custom wood cabinetry by Fairfield County Millwork and the reclaimed oak island from Greenwich Custom Furniture. The Imperial Danby marble countertops have a nice hand and the vintage flat-weave adds to the sense of worn comfort.

Opposite: Accent details include leather counter stools by Lawson-Fenning and metal shade pendants from Currey and Company, while integrated appliances by Wolf from Aitoro lend seamless polish. Translucent window treatments of a Pollack fabric filter in a soft glow.

Above: The sitting room is all about being cozy—and taking in the views. Custom-designed oversize chairs

by C & D Upholstery anchor the space, alongside weighty, textural pieces like a Moroccan wood table from Dovecote, a knit pouf and a chunky Belgian broadloom rug from Palace Oriental Rug of Wilton. The sheer drapes with jute trim are by Arabel Fabrics and the blackened-steel floor lamps are from Bungalow.

Opposite: Designer Terri Ricci’s custom table for the dining room is meant to be casual enough for everyday use but grand enough to host gatherings. Clean-lined upholstered dining chairs from Knock On Wood in Norwalk are an elegant pairing with RH armchairs at the heads. Above, Astele’s crystal pendant is a showpiece in the sunlight.

A cotton rug from Urban Outfitters covers the porcelain tile flooring from Ceramic Design.

Opposite: The master bedroom and adjacent office exemplify the clients’ taste for gently worn pieces, like the Hans Wegner sofa and the rustic Chinese elm wood bench in the foreground, which was sourced from Bungalow. Subtle details like the O’Lampia double-swing sconce, Currey and Company nightstand and Lillian August rug round out the scheme.
