ON THE COVER: “The pool acts as an art piece and provides a place to recreate,” architect Kyle Webb says of the Palm Beach home he and architect Lauren Walton designed using stucco, limestone and ipe wood. In the rear of the property, which faces the Intracoastal, landscape designer Keith Williams accommodated coconut palms, green island ficus, a zoysia lawn and artworks throughout the yard, including a red Isabel Nolan sculpture.

AT THE HEART OF JORGE CASTILLO DESIGN IS A DESIRE TO PROVIDE EACH CLIENT WITH SOPHISTICATED, CLEAN, WARM AND INVITING INTERIORS, REGARDLESS OF STYLE. Based in Miami and led by principal Jorge Castillo, the firm boasts a team of designers well versed in the local aesthetic and lifestyle. “We are inspired by the architecture and energy in the city of Miami,” Castillo says. “Given the wonderful climate here, interiors tend to blend with the outdoors, which we love.” He also points to travel and the individuality of various cities as key influences. With more than 20 years of experience, Castillo fuses cutting-edge designs with personal touches. “Our creative process, where interior environments are transformed into unique living spaces of art, entails a common vision between the owner and artist,” he says. “We want to achieve classic details with contemporary flair, while keeping it welcoming.”

“We are artists with a different kind of brush.”

A Creative Endeavor “Some works of art hang on walls,” Castillo says. “Other works of art are the walls— or the design of the kitchen, bath or bedroom. At Jorge Castillo Design, we are the artists, and your home is the canvas.”

EDITOR’S LETTER

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

MAKING WAVES

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

FORBES + MASTERS

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

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

COURTNEY MCLEOD ▲ BENJAMIN JOHNSTON

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

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

RADAR / NEW GUARD STEWART HORNER

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

GIN BRAVERMAN

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

▼ ALIZEE BRION

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

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

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

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

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

MIKEL WELCH

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

HOLLY HOLLENBECK

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

CYNTHIA SPENCE

San Francisco | cynthiaspencedesign.com

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

▲ HANNAH CROWELL

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

ALEXANDRA KAEHLER Chicago | alexandrakaehler.com

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

▼ AIMEE WERTEPNY

Chicago | projectinteriors.com

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

LINDSAY CHAMBERS

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

JON DE LA CRUZ San Francisco | dlcid.com

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

VANESSA ALEXANDER

Los Angeles | alexanderdb.com

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

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

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

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

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

FLUID FORMS

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

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

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

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

FIRST LOOK NORTON MUSEUM OF ART

Many elements, both tangible and intangible, make up great cities: thoughtful planning of physical dimensions; innovative, functional buildings; welcoming public spaces where people gather and interact. Diverse, inspirational and even educational, truly world-class urban centers also have something else in common: distinctive art museums designed by exceptional talents. Swiss starchitects Herzog & De Meuron were the minds behind the Perez Art Museum Miami, the city’s main art institution, many years in the making. In 1941, Marion Syms Wyeth, the respected Palm Beach architect, created the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. The recipient of several unsympathetic revamps over the years, the structure was in need of more exhibition and education space. Hence the hiring of Foster + Partners,

the firm of celebrated British architect Lord Norman Foster, which was tasked with redesigning the Norton in 2013. Five years later, the $100 million project has shut down the museum for nearly seven months and will yield a new west wing and sculpture garden. The renovation and expansion will also include a relocated front entrance oriented toward South Dixie Highway; a 35 percent increase in display space; a 210-seat auditorium; a new education center, shop and restaurant; larger event and meeting spaces, as well as an extensive lawn. Six historic cottages dating back to the 1920s will also get refurbished: Two will be united and serve as the museum director’s home; the other four will act as studio space and temporary quarters for artists-in-residence. The dramatic transformation makes its debut on February 9. norton.org WRITTEN BY NINA KORMAN AND KIMBERLY OLSON

MUST-SEE “THE ART OF BANKSY”

Hold on to your priceless art and keep an eye on any blank walls! Banksy is here—sort of. The world’s most famous street artist, who few truly know because he prefers to be anonymous, is the subject of “The Art of Banksy,” a traveling exhibition featuring 80 works, which opened in Miami in December coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach. Odd because the subversive Banksy, who began by stenciling graffiti on buildings in his Bristol, England, hometown, dislikes charging a fee to view his work or even peddling it at an outrageous profit. (Last fall, he made a painting self-destruct after it was auctioned for $1.4 million.) While much of Banksy’s darkly humorous output addresses authoritarianism and features characters like hat-wearing rats, chimpanzees and British royals, that hasn’t stopped the unscrupulous from trying to line their pockets from it. Portions of his graffiti have often been secretly excised from structures and sent to cities like Miami to be sold. But Banksy is not behind this event. Steve Lazarides, his former agent, is. The paintings, sculpture and photographs were loaned by collectors who acquired them when the artist and agent were still in cahoots. Lazarides has pledged to donate 50,000 tickets to charity groups and schools. Ordinary folks must pay a fee, ranging from $36 to $50, to traipse through the sizable Magic City Innovation Studios and see the show, which runs through February 28. banksyexhibit.com

LAUNCH Designer, author and tastemaker Aerin Lauder, who established her eponymous luxury lifestyle brand six years ago, has expanded her repertoire once again. She recently joined forces with The Shade Store to launch The Aerin Collection, an exclusive series of luxurious window treatments. The line includes roller shades featuring small-scale patterns that add visual interest yet filter light uniformly, as well as drapery panels and Roman shades influenced by vintage, hand-blocked designs. “My home in the Hamptons, which previously belonged to my grandmother [legendary beauty entrepreneur Estée Lauder], inspired the collection and its many patterns, such as Hampton Floral and Wainscott Paisley,” Lauder says. “Aerin for The Shade Store is influenced by that mix, which makes a room feel more personal and curated to your individual style.” Lauder thoughtfully created designs that would partner beautifully with various colors and styles, so customers can add drapery panels to a window with existing roller panels, or vice versa. “The color palette is soft and painterly, 104 / LUXESOURCE.COM

primarily neutrals in warm and cool tones as well as chocolate brown, pink and blue—a signature color for Aerin,” she says. Ian Gibbs, cofounder and chief creative officer of The Shade Store, says, “This partnership will

“I would love to have designed the Breakers Hotel, the current version which was created in 1926 by the architects Schultze & Weaver, located on South County Road in Palm Beach. It’s a grand Italian Renaissance-style design, and back then the parameters on scale and massing were a lot more lenient.”

“Marcel Breuer’s Main Library in downtown Fort Lauderdale is my choice. Its mosaic artwork offers a wayfinding sculptural corner; its integrated pools provide seating in a park-like setting. Passively cooled and regionally responsive materially, it’s a great contribution to our cultural landscape.”

“Without hesitation, I’d say the Miami Marine Stadium, designed by architect Hilario Candela in 1963 for spectators of powerboat races. It frames views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, creating a memorable experience. And its daring concrete design is enhanced by its relationship to the natural environment—qualities that also drive my firm’s work.”

A nine-story, 121-residence structure, featuring 102 fully furnished units and 12 penthouses, kicks off the project. Seven villas will also be built. Spanning from one to four bedrooms, the homes promise luxurious fixtures and finishes, including wood and porcelain flooring, walk-in closets, natural stone countertops, standalone soaking tubs, Franke fixtures and Miele appliances. Landscape architect Paul Weinberg and his team dreamed up the meditation and sculpture garden, yoga space and dog park, which coexist with a fitness center, rooftop pool and a his-and-her spa, among many amenities.

RADAR / SCENE

CHECK IN IF YOU’RE HEADED TO KEY WEST, THESE TWO DESIGN-CENTRIC PROPERTIES SHOULD BE ON YOUR RADAR.

The Perry Hotel Key West: For those seeking the Key West experience far from the madding crowd, there is The Perry. A 15-minute drive from the Conch Republic, the property is on Stock Island, home to a 220-slip marina and the area’s largest deep-water harbor. Offering 100 water-facing rooms, in an airy style that could be called beachy-industrial, the dog-friendly hotel welcomes pooches with two parks. A pair of seafood-centric eateries caters to foodies. And while outdoorsy types enjoy aqua activities, the indoorsy can relax with yoga and massages. That said, why bother to leave Stock Island at all? perrykeywest.com

ON VIEW Aficionados of great interior design have probably made a pilgrimage to Kips Bay sometime in their lives. It may sound like a vacation resort in the Northeast, but it’s actually the name of a New York City neighborhood and also short for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, the standard-bearer of its genre. Every spring since 1973, a posh New York home has been commandeered by a roster of internationally known interior designers (and, recently, some

emerging talents too) who are given free rein to put their stamp on each of its rooms. For about a month, visitors are invited to pay a fee and glimpse the fantastic interiors by the likes of Bunny Williams, Juan Montoya and Alessandra Branca. The proceeds go to a good cause: to subsidize the afterschool programs of New York’s Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, an organization established in 1915 in the Bronx—and which now counts nine outposts— to aid and encourage the city’s disadvantaged children. Last year, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach was created for the first time, to raise funds for the 13 Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County as well as the Kips Bay clubs up north. (See the 2018 rooms by Foley & Cox, top, and Ellen Kavanaugh, left.) This time, a Mediterranean-style manse in the South of Southern neighborhood of West Palm Beach is the blank canvas on which 21 design firms from across the country will work their colorful magic. Participants include Amy Meier and Peter Dunham from California; Cindy Rinfret and Billy Ceglia of Connecticut; and, of course, hometown talents such as Louise W. Cronan and Jennifer Garrigues. The house will be open January 26 to February 20. Tickets will be available at the door or online. kipsbaydecoratorshowhouse.org

Havana Cabana Key West Hotel: In 2016, when the long-sealed door to Cuba was opened for a minute, Americans couldn’t get there quickly enough. With the door slightly ajar now, that trip isn’t as easy. Smart hoteliers in Key West’s Old Town noticed and created the Havana Cabana Key West Hotel. Marked by the 1957 Chevy at its entrance, the resort, designed by the Coral Gables firm EoA, offers 106 eclectically outfitted rooms facing the Gulf of Mexico or Key West’s largest pool, which is surrounded by palm trees and a bar aptly named Mojitos because it serves nearly 20 versions of the famed Cuban cocktail. An Airstream trailer-turnedfood truck offers croquetas, pastelitos and more. Suddenly, 90 miles seems that much closer. havanacabanakeywesthotel.com

Inspired by his modernity and angular flair, these pieces bring us one step closer to the master.

LEADING LADY

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

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

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

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

There are few spaces in a home more intimate than a luxurious bathroom— it’s where we pamper ourselves; it’s where we begin and end our days; it’s a haven for relaxation. Designers are exploring new schemes and kicking the design of this space into high gear with lush colors, plush textures and deluxe finishes. They’re also thinking outside the typical white marble box with stylish elements like graphic tile, glamorous lighting and architectural fittings for an allencompassing effect. Whether it be an elegant master bath with ladylike details or a jewel box powder room featuring statement-making wallcoverings, bold bathrooms are back. As designer Denise McGaha explains, “Don’t you want a bathroom that feels out of the ordinary, that no one else has?” So, grab your bubble bath and dive into these spectacular spaces. 166 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Designer Denise McGahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Array wallcovering for Design Legacy lines her master bathroom in Dallas. Michael Berman fittings by Rohl sit atop Eternal Marquina countertops by Silestone while Addison Weeks hardware decorates the blush cabinetry. Overhead are Bruce pendants by Currey & Company.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

A vintage chandelier with Currey & Company shades hangs above a Mirabelle tub from Ferguson that features extra storage under the bench surround.

ON POINT DENISE MCGAHA

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

Can you talk about your approach to pattern and color? The black-and-white Silestone countertops are very sophisticated and we continued the palette with my Design Legacy fabric on the Roman shade that aligns perfectly with the wallpaper on the ceiling. This treatment allows for a really expansive room. I also wanted a bit of color, so I added the blush pink on the cabinetry. Share your top tip for designing a bathroom. Don’t overlook the items you’re going to touch every day, like a handheld shower head, sink faucet or drawer pull. Make sure those elements are not a second thought but rather the first thing you consider. 168 / LUXESOURCE.COM

PORTRAIT AND VIGNETTE PHOTO: STEPHEN KARLISCH.

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

CLEAN SLATE

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

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

ALL IN THE MIX

EBB AND FLOW

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

WARM WELCOME

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

TO THE TOUCH

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

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

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

JANET BROOKS

BELLA MANCINI

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A BOLD ENTRY

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

9 MOMENT

FLASHBACK

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

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

10 PATTERN PLAY

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

TO DETAIL

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

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

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

NICOLE FULLER

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

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

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

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE

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

INSIDE OUT

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

MAKING an ENTRANCE

ENTERTAINING EQUILIBRIUM

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

In HARMONY

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

outdoor

INFLUENCE

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

18 NATURE NOD TO

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TROPICAL

PUNCH

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

STAIR MASTER

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

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

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

The long, windowed breezeway—constructed by builder Ed Faubel to join the house with a new garage—was designed to resemble a carriage house and connects the gardens in the front and back of the house. faubelconstruction.com

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

▲ HEAVY METAL “The starkness of drywall is a thing of the past,” says general contractor Tom Fisher, who helped bring to life the powder room of this Arizona home.

AGING gracefully

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

Best splurge: Hardwood floors and custom cabinetry are vital in any high-end home. White oak, in particular, allows for creative staining and glazing. There is also no substitute to an exceptional piece of Calacatta Gold marble. Why do kitchen and bathroom renovations add so much value? Those areas are where we spend most of our time. The old adage still rings true: Kitchens and master baths are what sell homes. riordanhomes.com

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

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

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

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

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

SOARING VISTAS

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

LAKE LEVEL

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

COUNTRY CLASSIC

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

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

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

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

EN PLEIN

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

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

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

PHIL STEINHAUER

ORLANDO COMAS

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

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

JEFF BERGHOFF

TAL THEVENOT

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

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

LAYER IT ON

CURATED CURVES

WHITE OUT

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

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

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

Caracole Signature Geo Modern Cocktail Tables

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

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

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

KAURI WALLCOVERING IMAGE: COURTESY FROMENTAL.

OUR 2019 GOLD LIST: CREATORS OF THE INSPIRATIONAL HOMES

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

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

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

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

–MICHAEL ABRAMS, CHICAGO

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

–SARA MCCANN, WEST PALM BEACH

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SMITH AND MOORE ARCHITECTS

At Smith and Moore Architects, a legacy of classicism joins with the parameters of each client’s desired style to produce stunning, bespoke residences. Led by principal architect and designer Daniel Kahan, as well as principal architects Peter Papadopoulos, Harold Smith and Jonathan Moore, the firm has developed a reputation for combining contemporary construction techniques with tested architectural traditions, creating solutions that are timeless but also meet the needs of modern-day living. “We employ time-honored methods, such as drawing and making models by hand, but we also embrace cutting-edge technologies, like three-dimensional modeling and printing,” Kahan says. “We approach each of our projects in a holistic manner, understanding the variety of architectural background and contextual relationships.” Through close collaboration with landscape and interior designers, the Smith and Moore team completes projects with a sense of place and permanence, combining beauty, comfort, quality and functionality. The client, too, plays an essential role. “Through open and continuous dialog, we make our clients a part of the project team,” Kahan says. “Our clients are leaders in their individual fields of study. They are always brilliant minds that bring unique perspectives to design. One of our greatest challenges and rewards is figuring out how to channel that brilliance into the work we are doing for them.”

Peter Papadopoulos, Daniel Kahan, Jonathan Moore and Harold Smith, Principal Architects 1500 South Olive Avenue West Palm Beach, Florida 561.835.1888 info@smithmoorearchitects.com smithmoorearchitects.com

Whether focusing on new construction or restorations, we are committed to designing projects that respect and enhance their surroundings.

Ask the Expert 1

Favorite styles to work in and why? Our designs range vastly, from ornately wrought classical to highly distilled modernism. Ultimately, our favorite work is anything that allows us to dive into the minutiae and craft of our process. Tips for clients to make the design experience more rewarding? We often encourage our clients to open up their other homes for us to visit so that we can truly understand the way in which they live.

What elements characterize your work? Among many others, we give great consideration to the subtleties of tectonics, studying and crafting the details in joinery and material transitions.

STRANG DESIGN

While it has completed projects across the Caribbean Sea and beyond, Strang Design is a firm deeply connected to Florida. Founded in Miami in 1998, it today has additional offices in Fort Lauderdale and Sarasota, and boasts a portfolio of distinguished, regionally influenced work. “I am committed to the idea that the architectural identity of a home should be a result of its location and climate,” founding principal Max Strang says. “Most of our projects incorporate natural materials, such as stone and wood, and in South Florida, we have access to wonderful local materials, like oolitic limestone and Florida keystone.” While architecture is the field in which Strang and his team began their endeavors, they’ve also grown to offer interior design, landscape design, master planning and furniture design under the Strang Design name. Throughout it all, a close collaboration with the client is paramount. “As a highly creative team of architects and designers, we build meaningful relationships with our clients through the power of design,” Strang says. “Our 20 years of critical acclaim and long list of happy homeowners demonstrates our ongoing dedication to successful outcomes. By selecting Strang, clients gain the confidence of engaging one of the top residential firms in the United States.” Indeed, Strang Design’s South Florida creations have received an unparalleled volume of awards for design excellence.

We believe in the enduring intrigue of modernism.

Ask the Expert First project that put your company on the map? Rockhouse, my former home in Coconut Grove. It was featured in the film adaption of Miami Vice. Milestones in your firm’s success? In 2013, I was honored with the Silver Medal from the Miami Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and more recently, in 2016, I was inducted into the fellowship of the AIA. But it is especially rewarding for me to be surrounded by so many talented individuals and see how they advance the creative and technical output of our firm.

Key influences in your work? The concepts of the Sarasota School of Architecture remain our greatest influence. Our work strives to incorporate the lessons of that essential modern movement and advance them into a changed world.

CRYSTAL TREE CARPET & FLOORING

A designer showroom open to the public, with a portfolio of beautiful, high-end projects to its name, Crystal Tree Carpet & Flooring has become the destination for flooring in Florida. Led by owners Barbara and Jodi Kahn, the company offers the most cutting-edge, distinctive assortments in fine wools, nylon carpeting, wool carpeting, custom wool-and-silk area rugs and engineered hardwood. Along with its extensive collection, the Crystal Tree team strives to provide every client with personalized service and design options. “Our favorite part of the process is brainstorming with the client to locate the most creative style of flooring,” Barbara says. “We love to make them feel inspired and excited about choosing us, as we narrow down to the perfect colors and textures to match their fabrics.” Jodi adds, “Our design team is passionate about sitting down with a client when they first walk in, discovering what they’re looking for, what their lifestyle is and what their budget is to find the perfect choices for their project. We want them to walk into their home after we have completed the work, and feel positive and elated at the end results. The whole process is collaborative and extremely satisfying.” They encourage clients to bring swatches, photos and pieces of fabric along with them on the initial visit, and say that each person’s unique set of needs and desires is what fuels the team’s endless stream of creativity. “We love the wonderful people we get to work with on a daily basis,” Jodi says. “No matter the price point, we truly strive to find an ideal solution for everyone.”

We want you to feel proud of and inspired by your flooring selections.

Ask the Expert Key influences in your work? Current trends in furniture and hot colors in clothing usually trickle down to inspirations in flooring. Whether it’s carpeting or hardwood, I am always inspired by nature, which is simply timeless. Kinds of communities you work in? Private residential neighborhoods, such as Lost Tree, Admirals Cove, Frenchman’s Creek, Mirasol and many more.

Define luxury. It’s subjective. It has different meaning to each person. One may feel it’s a bubble bath, a great bottle of wine, the perfect meal or the most beautiful wool carpeting underfoot. Whatever makes you feel really fabulous … that’s luxury.

MACKLE BUILDERS

In one form or another, the Mackle family has been building for more than 100 years. It’s a legacy that is now carried on by Tom P. Mackle, the president of Miami-based Mackle Builders. “The first, second and third generations of my family built major developments throughout Florida,” Mackle says. “Today, we focus on the personal homes of individual families. Our satisfaction comes from watching their dreams come together and knowing we played an important role in that.” Known for their quality of construction, efficiency of process and the highest level of professionalism, Mackle and his team acquire nearly all of their new prospects through referrals from satisfied clients. The homeowner’s delight at the finished product is not only what drives the firm’s success, but also what inspires Mackle in his daily work. “My favorite part of my job is that moment in the process when the client has a genuine, positive, ‘eureka’ kind of reaction to a particular stage,” he says. “My business model is not focused on growth. I know that sounds unusual, but my focus is on innovation and improving the process to help each family reach their ultimate home goals.” As for the design elements he personally enjoys, Mackle emphasizes the importance of achieving the client’s desires, but admits a fondness for wood features. “I have always loved the way wood gives a home a warm feeling,” he says. “Whether for the cabinets, walls, ceilings, floors, exteriors or elsewhere, I find it inviting and comforting.”

I’m continually influenced by the principles my family has passed down to me: integrity, honesty and communication.

Ask the Expert First project that put your company on the map? Looking back, I would credit a stunning, two-story home on Key Biscayne. It has prominent exterior wood features, a large second-floor balcony, a pool that is tiled completely in dark blue and many more beautiful yet comfortable aspects. Describe your creative process and favorite part of it. There are several moments in the process that are particularly euphoric: the release of the first renderings, when the exterior structure is in place, the first day the interior layout can be felt and, of course, the day the client moves in. I can’t pick a single favorite.

Your greatest success? Family. My wife and two sons. I wouldn’t feel successful without them.

INTERIORS BY MAITE GRANDA

Each project by Maite Granda is a personalized masterpiece, but they all achieve the designer’s signature pursuit: to create luxurious interiors that capture attention through color and texture. After moving from her home of Cuba to Madrid at an early age, Granda began to develop a passion for style and design informed by the Spanish city’s culture and mix of modernism. Today, these influences still play a part in Granda’s designs, which she produces through her namesake firm, Interiors by Maite Granda. The Key Biscayne-based establishment came to fruition after Granda completed her degree from Miami International University of Art & Design. Shortly thereafter, she helped a couple design an eclectic vacation penthouse in Sunny Isles Beach. “Once the penthouse was completed, we were hired to do a complete remodel of their beach cottage, where we incorporated a coastal vibe with a touch of the eclectic penthouse accents,” Granda says. “Our biggest accomplishment and continuous milestones are the constant praise and referrals we receive from satisfied and happy clients.” Indeed, the team’s portfolio overflows with stunning projects acquired through word of mouth and direct recommendations—an impressive feat in a competitive market like South Florida. As for what’s next for her company, Granda points to merging forces with an architectural firm, and expanding to commercial and hospitality work, as two of her larger goals.

KAKAR HOUSE OF DESIGN

Since its beginnings in the world of fashion, the concept of a “design house” has come to connote a constant evolution of creativity and collaboration under the tutelage of a visionary. With a team of outside-the-box thinkers and Anil Kakar at the helm, Kakar House of Design lives up to the idea for which it was named. Lauded the world over for not only its interiors, but also an eclectic furnishings showroom with global reach, it represents a unique genre of aesthetic. “We are known for our use of colors and patterns, and mixing up different styles and time periods to create one-of-a-kind spaces,” Kakar says. “Each design is a projection of the client’s dynamic personality.” Kakar enjoys blending the classics with modern and contemporary styles. He builds every room with character, charm and personality, and points to restored vintage pieces and antiques as frequent features in his designs. His muse? “My travels have always influenced me,” he says. “Traveling renews my soul, and feeds my passion for design and life. I’m always on the hunt for fresh ideas and unusual items as I experience new places.” In fact, he says sourcing furnishings is one of his two favorite parts of the job. The other is the friendship he builds with each client. “They are very special to me,” he says. “I’m able to work with such interesting, talented and unique people. I love building environments that reflect them and complement their lifestyles.”

ESTATE OF THE ART A CONTEMPORARY PALM BEACH HOME IS AS EYE-CATCHING AS THE COLLECTION IT CONTAINS. WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRIS TAMBURELLO

A Rafael Barrios sculpture makes a striking first impression in the entry courtyard of an art-filled Palm Beach home by architect Kyle Webb and project architect Lauren Walton. Between hedging installed by Grasshopper’s Landscaping and Design, the gate—made of ipe panels in a stainless-steel frame—opens to a driveway of plank pavers, LED lights and grass strips. The residence is made of stucco and limestone, with ipe siding.

n Palm Beach, a stark-white contemporary structure stands out like a glittering island in a sea of red-tile-roofed mansions. But this monumental home, perched along the Intracoastal Waterway on tiny Ibis Isle, wasn’t just designed to catch the eye of passersby. Rather, every inch of it was created to showcase a couple’s spectacular private collection of contemporary artworks. After 15 years of serious collecting, the homeowners have acquired more than 500 pieces. “You name the visual art—photography, video art, painting, sculpture—we like to collect it,” the husband says. “We buy only what we both love, because we live with it.” Their dynamic assemblage is ever-growing—and always moving from room to room, house to house—so their new Palm Beach abode needed to accommodate a range of works, from an illuminated display by Leo Villareal to one of Nicole Wermers’ floor-to-ceiling totems. To bring their vision to life, the couple chose an architect who understands their style: Kyle Webb, who had designed a 2,400-square-foot art gallery for their Colorado home several years before. “We had a clear vision for that gallery, and it is sitting there today,” the husband says. “We knew Kyle could design what’s in our heads.” For the couple’s Palm Beach home, Webb and project architect Lauren Walton designed a contemporary residence comprising simple boxy forms of white stucco and pale limestone. An ipe-wood column marks the front entrance, which leads to an open kitchen, dining and sunken living area with views of the water. To the right is a cozy den; to the left is a guest wing that includes three suites. The secondfloor master suite includes a bedroom, a bathroom, a gym and his-and-her offices. 238 / LUXESOURCE.COM

The kitchen, which has Gaggenau appliances, stainless-steel shelves and aluminum, elm and acrylic cabinets, flows into a dining area furnished with B&B Italia’s Xilos table and Acanto chairs beneath an LED light by Axis Lighting. Those spaces connect to a sunken living area, where B&B Italia’s Michel sofa and Liaigre’s Galet coffee table rest on a wool-blend rug from ABC Carpet & Home.

240 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Connecting the two levels is a sculptural steel staircase that appears to float in midair. Walnut treads and risers “offer a nice place to put your bare feet,” Walton says, and a wall of glass affords a clear view of the illuminated handrail. “There was no hiding flaws in this staircase,” says general contractor Larry Frankel, who collaborated on the project with his partner, builder John Shahzade. “The execution had to be perfect.” Other walls of glass—in the living area, kitchen and master suite—open onto spacious terraces, uniting the home’s indoor and outdoor living spaces. “Almost every room has a sliding glass door to the outside,” the husband says. “We’re so connected to the water, we feel like we’re on a boat.” To counterbalance those sleek surfaces, the architects created a warm mix of interior finishes, including ash and bleached-walnut floors, book-matched walnut cabinetry, textured limestone walls and, in the master bathroom, a seamless expanse of white marble walls, floors, countertops and cabinetry.

The materials set a backdrop for the artwork, and Webb and Walton actually designed the residence with a few specific pieces in mind—most notably, Liam Gillick’s colored-Plexiglas screen that separates the dining area from the entry. Yet to offer adaptability, they focused on creating flexible display spaces. “We planned for power for electrical pieces, mounted adjustable tracks for hanging art and installed ⅝-inch-thick plywood walls behind the drywall to ensure artworks could be hung securely,” Webb says. A lighting engineer installed 164 recessed and surface-mounted accent lights to emphasize the art and architecture. “We didn’t want anything too fancy,” Webb explains, adding the illumination was intended to be simple and flatter the home’s finishes. The same rule applied to furnishings, which are minimal in number and style. Webb and Walton helped the homeowners with their selections, choosing pieces that lean toward rich wood tones and neutral, understated fabrics—with the

The stainless-steel-and-glass front door reveals an entry with wide-plank ash flooring and a collection of contemporary art, including a yellow Tony Delap work on an ipe wall over a Jenny Holzer sculpture. Perpendicular to them are intersecting circles by Guillermo Kuitca, while to the left is an elaborate piece by Mickalene Thomas. The Liam Gillick Plexiglas screen separates this space from the dining area.

A Montigo fireplace—with a surround from Haifa Limestone, displaying a work by Teresita Fernández—is the focal point of the living area, which opens to a terrace via walnut lift-and-slide doors. Midcentury armchairs sit near Lego artwork by Ai Weiwei on vintage nesting tables and a turquoise totem by Nicole Wermers. In front of the fireplace are ottomans from Slifer Designs in Edwards, Colorado, and Design Within Reach’s Platner side table.

Walnut treads and a walnut-and-steel recessed handrail climb to an upstairs hallway intended to be a gallery space for rotating art displays, including a yellow Heather McGill work on an ipe-paneled wall. “Some of the pieces hang from a rail system so as not to put holes into the woodwork and keep maximum flexibility for the clients’ collection,” Webb says.

occasional pop of color from a red footstool here, a patterned pillow there. “We focused on creating a soft, muted palette with lots of contrast, because we knew the art would be really colorful,” Walton says. As they did with the structure, the architects designed rooms to accommodate special pieces, like the sofa that fits the sunken living area’s dimensions “down to the inch,” Webb says, and the dining area’s circular ceiling light fixture customized to perfectly match the circumference of the marble-topped table beneath it. Woven outdoor furnishings carry the streamlined aesthetic onto the home’s spacious terraces, where the simple structure merges with manicured grounds by landscape designer Keith Williams and project manager Matt Jackman. Roofs planted with green island ficus soften stark walls, recessed terraces blend seamlessly with lawns, and patches of grass are inlaid into the stone-paver

driveway. “We wanted the driveway to be functional but artistic—almost pixelated in appearance—with contrasting stone colors, grass joints and LED lighting,” Williams says. A meandering, multilevel water feature is equally elaborate: An infinity-edge lap pool follows one side of the house before stepping and turning around to the front. “You can walk through the entire pool and fountains, and the walls direct your view to important features,” Williams says, pointing to Rafael Barrios’ Dislocated Vertical—a 14-foot-tall sculpture that punctuates the entry fountain. The home’s ability to showcase art at every turn comes as no surprise to the homeowners; what they didn’t expect was for the structure to become part of their collection. “Everywhere you look, there’s something interesting to see,” the husband says. “There’s a lot of great art in the house, but this house itself is a piece of art.”

Opposite: Slabs of Mystery White marble from Haifa Limestone cover the floors and walls of the master bathroom, which opens to a balcony with porcelain-tile flooring. The stainless-steel towel rack and freestanding faucet, both by CEA, perch by the oval Wetstyle tub; a floating sculpture by Tomรกs Saraceno hovers overhead. Below: Facing the Intracoastal Waterway, the rear of the property was designed to accommodate stately coconut palms, clusia hedging and green island ficus groundcover. Landscape designer Keith Williams helped place artwork on the zoysia lawn, including an Ernesto Nieto sculpture.

ECLECTIC ELEGANCE FLORAL PRINTS AND EYE-CATCHING GALLERY WALLS REINVIGORATE A VINTAGE HOME IN SOUTH FLORIDA. WRITTEN BY CHARLYNE VARKONYI SCHAUB / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK JOHNSON

Designer Daniela Saliba created a striking gallery wall in the living room of a 1930s house in South Florida, drawing attention to Lasvit’s Neverending Glory pendant from Design Within Reach. RH tables, one holding a Flos lamp from The Lighting Studio, bookend the RH sofa, accented by a mix of pillows from One of a Kind. The furnishings rest on a rug from The Carpet Boutique.

cattered among the contemporary homes and high-rises of Miami Beach’s Venetian Islands are relics of a time gone by: the isles’ original residences, 1930s houses with interior features like arched doorways, scalloped moldings and curved stairways with wood treads. It was those very romantic characteristics and a dreamy flowering bougainvillea that drew designer Daniela Saliba’s client to one such 80-year-old structure. Still, the aging residence wasn’t without its flaws. “The house needed updating. It had orange walls and dark wood on the ceilings. We needed to bring life back into it,” says Saliba, who had designed the homeowner’s South Beach apartment three years prior. The client and Saliba determined the home’s new spirit would exude elegant coziness. But before the designer could introduce warm textures and punches of color, the residence required some structural changes to meet the client’s needs. The modifications included adding square footage and places for gathering as well as making respectful updates that honored the house’s history. Architect and general contractor Carlos Figueroa began by expanding the second-floor master bedroom to accommodate a sizable closet. He also created more space in the nearby bathroom by relocating the vanity to the new dressing area. Enlarging the suite brought a few unexpected benefits to the façade: A roof was added to the entryway, and a covered loggia was created off the dining room. Barely discernible as an addition, the new entry mimics some of the structure’s period details, including stately columns, a wood ceiling and decorative concrete-cement tiles. “The home has beautiful architecture,” Figueroa says. “My design is based on what the house calls for and what the owner wants.” A pair of wicker chairs and a built-in bench further establish the welcoming feel.

In the breakfast room, Saliba framed a paper mural to display over a Pottery Barn cabinet. A Patricia Urquiola pendant from The Lighting Studio hangs above an oval Saarinen table surrounded by Cherner side chairs from Design Within Reach.

252 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Figueroa matched the roof on the addition to the residence’s barrel tile, replaced windows and doors and upgraded the electrical system. Inside, ceilings and most walls were painted white, and the cherry-wood floors received a darker stain. One last structural change occurred in the living room: The fireplace was removed, and Saliba hung a large mirror over a bench in its place. Reflected in the mirror is the home’s most striking feature: a grand gallery wall the designer curated of treasured collected items. “My first inspiration was a silk scarf with a self-portrait of the Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral,” she says. “The gallery is a mix of paintings, drawings, photos and objects.” Continuing the eclectic feel, Saliba outfitted the room with an aqua velvet sofa, round coffee tables made of reclaimed peroba wood and chairs reupholstered in a vibrant floral-print fabric. The lively pattern on the chairs is a nod to the client’s love of flowers—and it’s not the only one. Using a mural wallpaper of large blooms, Saliba created an accent wall in a small sitting room. “We call this space the saleta,” she says. “It’s where the owner enjoys reading and appreciating the garden view.” Here, the designer installed a second smaller gallery wall, introducing new artworks that complement

pieces the client had displayed in her former home. On a rug atop the house’s original Mexican tile, an Eames lounge chair and ottoman Saliba re-covered in light blue plaid fabric and a durable white sofa offer cozy seating. Florals reappear in a paper mural Saliba framed and hung on a wall next to the oval table in the breakfast room. They’re also seen on the embroidered fabric used for a window valance in the kitchen, where the designer updated the original cabinets by painting them olive green. But real flowers are found in the patio, where an alluring bougainvillea tree dominates. Saliba transformed the lush space into a casual social area by surrounding a rectangular outdoor table with wicker chairs topped by pillows in a botanical textile. “The idea was to create an area where friends could gather to have meals and celebrate,” she says. Views of the outdoors can be enjoyed from each of the bedrooms, all equally lovely respites embellished with sheer draperies, white walls, wooden beds and nightstands. Soft hues impart serenity, and strategically placed artwork reintroduces a collected feel. It’s all reflective of the owner, whose style shines through each space. “The house is very her—it has her fingerprints,” Saliba says. “There is personality here.”

Rather than renovate, “we painted the kitchen because the owner was afraid a new kitchen would look too modern,” Saliba explains, adding that the cabinets were originally a cherry hue. The window valance was made with an embroidered fabric from Wall Boutique.

Underneath an RH mirror in the living room, a live-edge wood bench from Anthropologie offers a display for accessories, including artwork from the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection. The original red wood floors received a darker stain, and the walls were painted Sherwin-Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ibis White.

A cozy bedroom in the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabana hosts a Serena & Lily bed and lamps. Near the Cherner side chair from Design Within Reach, draperies by Wall Boutique frame views of the lush backyard. The linens, nightstand and rug are RH.

Artful Illusion WEST PALM BEACH PAINTER JOSEPH STEIERT CREATES STUNNING TROMPE Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OEILS. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER PFAFF SMITH / PHOTOGRAPHY BY SONYA REVELL

In his West Palm Beach studio, artist Joseph Steiert (far left) creates trompe l’oeil works and designs for murals. To keep his skills and inspiration fresh, he sketches drawings (left) and browses through books (below).

t the top of a wall in painter Joseph Steiert’s West Palm Beach studio is a collection of illustrations: an easel, a palette and brushes all contained in a curvy, ornate frame. It’s a decorative feature known as a trophy, a centuries-old motif used to symbolize the type of building it represents or a particular trade or guild. Although many are carved, Steiert’s only appears to be. It is painted, convincingly so. “When people walk in, they can see immediately what I do,” he says. Steiert excels at trompe l’oeil, a style of painting in which images are presented so realistically they seem three-dimensional. It’s often associated with formal Baroque works by European old masters, who depicted everything from daily life scenes on canvas to murals of angels gazing down from cathedral ceilings. This formal artistry resonates in a traditional town like Palm Beach, where Steiert has forged a nearly three-decade career decorating homes with fanciful scenic murals: bamboo-lined powder rooms, faux-coffered ceilings, hallways of Venice canals, a Japanese tsunami swirling around a dining room—all impactful and deceptively lifelike. “You’re creating a mood, an atmosphere,” he says of his work. “To be able to do rooms like that is very interesting.” These settings are a far cry from Steiert’s childhood surroundings in Okeechobee, where he was raised on a dairy farm. He began drawing

at a young age and painting in high school. “I was inspired by the landscape and really into Greek and Roman mythology,” he recalls. “I also remember going through the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a little kid. I’d come across these artists and old masters, and I was just amazed they could paint like that—it was so realistic.” After studying illustration and participating in a pre-graduate program of painting and drawing at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, the artist spent four months touring the museums of Austria, France and Italy. Not only did Steiert view firsthand the works he had admired as a child, but he was also exposed to trompe l’oeil, noting faux-wood doors and decorative stonework throughout cities and palaces.

A few years later, in 1991, Steiert relocated to West Palm Beach from Sarasota for a residency at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens. It was there he met designer Michael McLean, who commissioned him to paint stars on the ceiling of his shop on Antique Row, then murals for a client. Quickly, Steiert’s name got around town. “Palm Beach is a small community,” he notes. “It’s very social, and things spread by word of mouth.” Now, the artist’s phone number is on speed dial for designers like Caroline Rafferty, Jennifer Garrigues and Lars Bolander, who have commissioned him for projects in places like Savannah, New York, Maine and the Dominican Republic. He has created columns painted in high relief, Portuguese-inspired tiles, chinoiserie designs and floors painted to look marbled, along with real furnishings he’s restored or distressed. Bigger projects have included elaborate Venetian scenes—one of which features portraits of the homeowners in period aristocratic dress—and a two-story staircase surrounded by a Floridian landscape of palm trees and native birds. Steiert begins his murals on paper, sketching a design converted to the dimensions of the space. He then applies it to scale on the wall using charcoal and paints in the scene with acrylics. Key to achieving realism is perspective, which is why the artist takes care to adjust the design as needed by viewing the work from different parts of the room. “I have to make sure it’s right,” he says. “I always think: What if my peers see this? They have very good eyes, like I do, and they would notice if the perspective was wrong.” Among Steiert’s latest projects is The Colony Hotel’s ballroom, where Kemble Interiors commissioned him to stencil coral designs for the floor and intricate shell wainscoting. Wherever his artistry takes him, Steiert has found a captive audience in Palm Beach. “This is one of the best places to do murals in the whole country,” he says. “The residents appreciate this type of work.” 264 / LUXESOURCE.COM

But that was exactly the intention of the homeowners, who desired a residence that alludes to the exotic lands associated with their line of work. “They’re in the spice business,” explains architect William Wietsma, who designed the home. “It’s a family business that began 100 years ago, and their house is meant to reflect that history but also project into the future.” A waterfront lot bordering two bird sanctuaries offered the ideal setting for Wietsma and general contractor William Lippolis to create a house inspired by the islands. Reflecting a British West Indies style, also known as Anglo-Caribbean, the two-level structure is flanked by one-story wings, embellished with shutters and balconies, and rendered in a soft pastel palette. “The exterior’s primary yellow color appears to be slightly sun-bleached,” Wietsma observes. “And the green shutters are powder-coated aluminum with a matte finish to give an illusion of painted wood.” But its outward appearance isn’t purely for aesthetics. “AngloCaribbean buildings are designed for the harsh tropical climate, with eaves and hipped roofs able to repel rain and wind,” Wietsma says. “The details tend to be more ‘shipwright’ than ornamental.” And stone, stucco, concrete roof tiles and aluminum casement windows treated with saltresistant Kynar paint are just a few of the durable materials showcased on the home. The tropical touches become apparent as visitors approach the property. They are welcomed by a gate Wietsma had fashioned after one he had admired in Bermuda. A brick driveway with a cut-coral border then leads to a graceful

circular turnaround. “We used two different species of date palm to give the property a grand entrance,” says landscape architect Joe Peterson. “It’s a formal design with three tiers of plantings across the front. There’s lots of color at two levels, while the plants set against the house are dark green to contrast with the yellow exterior.” Lively hues from outdoors flow inside, where interior designer Ellen Kavanaugh made a splashy statement in the foyer, pairing lime-green-striped wallpaper with black-andwhite tile flooring. “The homeowners wanted an interior that has kind of a resort feel,” she says. “It’s very colorful—when you walk in, it feels like you’re on vacation.” The foyer opens to the living room, where Wietsma and Lippolis incorporated more hallmarks of Caribbean architecture such as mahogany flooring, a cypress ceiling and a grand window that offers views of the water and the verdant landscaping. Kavanaugh continued the theme by introducing elements that coincide with the style. “We wanted to select furniture commonly found in the beautiful old British West Indies homes in the islands,” she says. “A lot of the pieces are dark mahogany or teak. Then, we mixed in fabrics that are very tropical and colorful.” The sunny elegance that pervades the house is evident in the living room, where the classical white fireplace and teak furnishings combine with yellow damask wallpaper and floral-print seating. The adjoining dining room also boasts water views as well as access to the home’s loggia. Kavanaugh animated the surroundings with green patterned draperies and a chandelier decorated with a gilded-leaf motif. The nearby kitchen offsets the home’s dark flooring with white painted cabinets and brushed Calacatta marble countertops, while the office is a study in mahogany enlivened by green botanical-print draperies and a pair of cozy armchairs. “It’s formal, but it’s also inviting and it’s very comfortable,” the interior designer says of the room. In addition to satisfying the owners’ desire for interesting architecture, Wietsma and Lippolis devised a layout to suit the couple’s lifestyle. “They have four grown children and wanted a house that would accommodate them at holidays but also be intimate when no guests are there,” the architect says. “We ended up putting all of the guest suites upstairs and the master downstairs. This way, the house works as a one-bedroom when the owners are alone and gives everyone privacy when the house is full.” Sunny and airy, with a high ceiling and ivory tones, the private main sleeping quarters provide a tranquil oasis. Facing the Intracoastal, the room’s curved sitting area holds a loveseat, an ottoman and a pair of upholstered chairs, offering another spot to relax and unwind. “The amount of detail that went into this project is what sets it apart,” Lippolis says. “Every tile layout, trim carpentry and cabinet was perfect.” For clients in the spice trade who longed for Caribbean bliss, it was the recipe for success.

Architect William Wietsma conceived this Gulf Stream home, inspired by the elegant buildings of the British West Indies. In the living room, interior designer Ellen Kavanaugh covered the walls in a Waterhouse Wallhangings pattern and a barrelback chair with Hill Brown’s Arbre De Vie print. British Khaki Furniture’s Hastings coffee table rests on a Stark sisal area rug. The chandelier and the foyer’s hanging lantern are both by The Urban Electric Co.

BAUHAUS BOLD WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATHRYN GIVEN

“EACH PERIOD OF CIVILIZATION CREATES AN ART THAT IS SPECIFIC IN IT AND WHICH WE WILL NEVER SEE REBORN,” PAINTER WASSILY KANDINSKY EXPLAINS OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ART MOVEMENT OF THE 20TH CENTURY. BAUHUAS, OR ‘BUILDING HOUSE,’ WAS THE GERMAN SCHOOL FOUNDED IN 1919 BY ARCHITECT WALTER GROPIUS THAT EMPLOYED ARTISTS SUCH AS PAUL KLEE, JOSEF ALBERS, AND KANDINSKY. ITS AIM WAS TO UNIFY ALL ARTS, INCLUDING PAINTING, ARCHITECTURE AND SCULPTURE INTO A SINGLE CRAFT ALLOWING FOR A REIMAGINED MATERIAL WORLD IN WHICH ARTISANS CREATED BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL ITEMS. WHILE ORIGINALLY RADICAL, BAUHAUS DESIGN CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE PRODUCTS CREATED A CENTURY LATER.
