The Spirit of the Pacific Northwest “The natural beauty and heritage of the Pacific Northwest finds its way into all of our work,” Browning says. “Our team spends long days on the road, striving to reclaim wood that would otherwise be lost, and in the process, we are surrounded by the very elements that make this region and its wood so unique.

Each piece of wood’s texture, patina and character tells a story, and we are inspired to bring that narrative to our clients.”

“When you put the best material possible into the hands of highly skilled artists and craftsmen, the result is heirloom quality.”

ADVERTISEMENT

SUSTAINABLE, BEAUTIFUL AND CAREFULLY CRAFTED, RECLAIMED WOOD COULD BE CALLED THE IDEAL MATERIAL. PERFECT FOR EVERYTHING FROM ACCENT WALLS, CUSTOM TABLES AND COUNTERTOPS TO SHELVES AND MANTELS, IT IS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY HOMEOWNERS AND DESIGNERS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.

Enter, Salvage Works. The Portlandbased reclaimed-wood specialist is led by Preston Browning and encompasses a team of professionals as unique as the individual pieces of wood with which they work. Described by Browning as “authentic, cultivated and client-centric,” Salvage Works offers a curated selection of heritage lumber, wall cladding and custom furniture—but versatility isn’t the only focus. “We are invested in the conservation that comes along with reclaiming wood, and we approach our business as both woodworkers and environmental stewards,” Browning says. “Through detailed, hands-on documentation of each project being deconstructed, we preserve the history of the material and give new life to wood that would otherwise be destroyed.

Expert craftsmanship, strong lines, heirloom-quality materials and a rich, Pacific Northwest character define our aesthetic.”

The tiny, 49-square-foot kitchen (small even by New York standards) receives its personality from Poggenpohl’s gray nut tree cabinetry and aluminum backsplash— complete with Gorilla wallpaper. Functionality was key, with custom features to clear the countertops of clutter and create space for clever, smaller-scale appliances.

This kitchen design was part of a complete renovation on the 20th floor of a condominium in St. Louis, Missouri. The entire unit was stripped from floor to ceiling, and reconfigured to fulfill the homeowners’ wishes for an open floor plan. To accommodate their desire for a welcoming kitchen with clean lines, Poggenpohl products were used here and in nearly every room in the home.

The result is a modern, seamless aesthetic.

ON THE GO

This July/August issue marks our annual celebration of global design. In it, we take you around the world— everywhere from a curated concept shop in Marrakesh to a 1950s Berlin high-rise-turned-whimsical hotel, with bicycles suspended from the lobby’s ceiling. We also, always, bring you much closer to home with the best in regional design. While jetting off to another time zone can often inspire, so, too, can your own zip code.

In addition, we’re encouraging readers to take another trip this summer: over to our new digital content site, luxedaily.luxesource.com, where you’ll discover design-related stories galore. Our 13 regional editions of Luxe provide an endless array of styles, ideas and design resources from across the country.

This page: Luxe takes you on an international journey this issue, highlighting such dynamic global venues as Morocco’s L’Hôtel Marrakech (top, left and right), designed by Jasper Conran, and the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin (above).

214 Modern Vintage

“While it isn’t a trend but rather a predictable constant in design, metals were on display at Spring Market. Seeing the way companies like Milling Road for Baker reimagined classic finishes—as they did with the Wrap console—in a fresh and modern way is incredibly inspiring to us. The marble top paired with the sleek, sexy base makes this piece a total showstopper. Vintage was another strong theme we saw in furnishings, art and accessories. We were impressed with the Barrie Benson collection for Highland House. The way she reimagined vintage pieces of furniture and explored bold color palettes was exciting beyond words!”

“Craftsmanship and an appreciation for artisan work were dominant themes at HPMKT, and are a major cultural push impacting interior design today. The usage of materials in their raw form showcases their natural beauty. Our absolute favorite was the Floating Credenza 1702 from Craft Associates Furniture. They used solid walnut to create the most sensual form that celebrates the grain of the wood.”

“Neutrals were being paired with different styles and accents throughout the showrooms we visited at HPMKT. We fell head over heels for the John-Richard Brass Six-Light Chandelier. The white marble paired so fabulously together with the brass—such a modern take on a classic chandelier shape and style. We also loved the Bark Chair by OLY—the classic style with the textured look of tree bark can be used in interior or exterior applications. We love the OLY line in general because of the clean modern vibe that gives a nod to past classic looks.”

Welcome to the July/August issue of Luxe Interiors + Design Pacific Northwest.

We celebrated various events this spring.

First, we attended BarkArt at the Seattle Design Center, where teams of design professionals created dog art for underprivileged kids to benefit Operation School Bell—more highlights to come in the September/October issue. Plus, Oregon-based custom rug designer Christiane Millinger Oriental Rugs and Textiles tapped Luxe’s Pacific Northwest homes editor, Lisa Bingham Dewart, to be a judge in its first annual rug design contest; the winner will be announced this fall. Also, in Seattle we attended Hoedemaker Pfeiffer’s “Heaven & Earth” exhibition of contemporary Chinese art.

Lastly, we helped Plantation in Seattle celebrate the grand opening of its new showroom on Capitol Hill. For photos of this event, visit our Gatherings pages in this issue. Happy summer!

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

MIMI FAUCETT Writer / Austin My creative influences come from…

Print magazines. Nothing gives me more creative joy than a favorite, familiar magazine still having the ability to surprise me. Long live print!

Favorite book: Grace: A Memoir by Grace Coddington. Not only is the story inspiring, but the hot-orange cover makes this book coffee table-worthy. Top three things on your design wish list: I’m dying for a set of black linen sheets from Hawkins New York—what I consider to be the perfect summer bed set. I’m also currently obsessing over L.A. artist Bari Ziperstein’s quirky ceramic vases, and I’m steadily saving a spot on my wall for a face painting (or two!) from Sally King Benedict. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: My grandmother, Nana. She’s someone who’s generous with time, laughter and sensitivity, but first and foremost, she’s a listener. It’s rare to get a story about her past, but when you do, it’s always fascinating.

ARIC ATTAS

Photographer / Palm Beach If not a photographer, I would be…

A musician. I’ve performed with jazz, rock and blues bands over the years.

I also create guitar-based Ambient Soundscapes to accompany many of my fine art exhibitions, as I find sound is a great counterpoint to my visually oriented work. Prized possessions: I have a photograph from the first roll of film I shot. It’s a black-and-white print I took at age 12, and I treasure it because I’m intrigued by how this simple close-up of a printing press foreshadowed my fascination with light, space, form and design. Also, my health. Having won two fights with cancer, I am aware of the value of good health, and I cherish it every day. Finally, I love my best friend and studio mate, Macchiato, a 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was rescued from an elephant preserve. Upcoming project: I’m excited to be working on new photographs for an upcoming solo exhibition at the Clare Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut, that will run from October 14 through December 31. These cosmos-inspired images explore the intersection of art, science and spirituality.

LX_COM14_Contributors.indd 92

ERIC PIASECKI Photographer / New York What type of design inspires you? Though my personal aesthetic tends to lean toward modern, I enjoy all different types of interiors. Right now, I really like seeing how designers are taking traditional design and adding modern twists to make it more contemporary. If money were no object, I’d buy… A new horse for our barn in New Mexico. Most interesting person you’ve met: Years ago, we were shooting Versace’s mansion in South Beach, Miami, and I got to meet famed photographer Helmut Newton by the gold-tiled pool—it was an over-the-top experience all around! Preferred superpower: It would have to be the ability to fly— no more airplanes! Of course, I would need some kind of side car for all my equipment.

KARA PICKMAN Writer / Miami Favorite design trend: That everything old becomes new again—I could live in any of Terence Conran’s design books, but I’m particularly partial to the 1974 edition of The House Book. And if you’re into obsessing over details (or like to think you are), check out the quirky photo styling in the 1990 edition of Complete Home Storage. Dream assignment: I’m honored to work with innovative clients across the country and around the world who champion art and design, including the Guggenheim, Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Smithsonian, Design Miami/ and many more, and my goal is to always both expand and refine my client list and creative projects.

Most-treasured possessions: The dining room table and chairs passed down to us from my mother-in-law and late father-in-law; they were custom-made in Spain for my wife’s grandmother. The table seats at least 10 and is so large we had to take the dimensions into account when we purchased our first home two years ago. There was no way we were buying a house where we couldn’t eat around that table! If I had $20,000 to blow, I’d…

Commission the custom Cuban floor tiles my wife wants for our sun room—and start the renovation we’ve been planning. On your nightstand: Most recently, Elif Batuman’s novel The Idiot. If not a writer, I would be… An art conservator. Maybe in another life...

VISUAL HISTORY AT VENERABLE COVERINGS COMPANY DE GOURNAY, THE CECIL GURNEY SISTERS CARRY ON THEIR FATHER’S LEGACY WHILE KEEPING THEIR EYES ON THE FUTURE THROUGH A SERIES OF BUZZ-GENERATING COLLABORATIONS. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

Imagine growing up in a magical world where butterflies flutter along perfectly painted vines and mischievous monkeys frolic up and down the walls. Now imagine that place is your childhood home and those fanciful landscapes are the family business, and you might get a sense of the charmed upbringing had by sisters Hannah and Rachel Cecil Gurney. “We grew up in a stunning house, decorated by our father, just opposite Kensington Gardens in London,” says Hannah. “My sister and I used to sit on the stairs, fascinated by the Chinese figures on the wallpaper.” Depicting peasant life in rural 18th-century China, the pattern, which featured scenes of silk-weaving and porcelain-making, wasn’t just a work of breathtaking decoration, but also a lesson in history and culture. “It was all very exotic to a 6-year-old Londoner, and our father would happily spend hours talking us through it all,” she says. Their father, Claud Cecil Gurney, founded de Gournay, the world-renowned maker of exquisite handmade wallcoverings, christening the brand with the French root of the family name in 1986.

The Art Deco period inspired the latest paper from de Gournay.

Right: The Cecil Gurney sisters, Hannah (standing) and Rachel, at home.

LX_COM14_Radar_DeGournayBTB.indd 98

As the story goes, Claud had trouble finding skilled artisans to restore some antique wallpaper in his home; so, through the Chinese Trade Commission in London, he located artists familiar with the painting techniques in mainland China.

Working with the craftsmen, he began to create hand-painted papers, reigniting a tradition that had begun in the early 18th century, when chinoiserie was all the rage among the European aristocracy.

By staying true to original production techniques— typically six artisans work on a single paper that can take up to 150 hours to produce—Claud created a truly bespoke luxury item. Today, his daughters help run the company—Hannah as director, and Rachel as the global style manager—putting their stamp on a number of forward-thinking initiatives while preparing to take over the family business when their father retires. “Our father has been wonderful about allowing us to make decisions and take on a lot of responsibility,” says Hannah. “He understands that if he is serious about handing over the reins, he needs to trust and support our ideas and allow us to learn from our mistakes. We love what we do so much that we want to ensure we safeguard it for the next generation.”

The company’s vision has expanded to include both more contemporary designs and ones that reflect other global perspectives, such as the more abstract Japanese and Korean collection, an

example of which features a weeping willow motif, or the Papiers Peints Panoramiques collection, which is inspired by 19th-century French murals of exotic scenes. “While de Gournay has always been seen as a company that makes very traditional hand-painted papers, my sister and I encourage a more modern aesthetic through employing innovative new techniques and colorways, as well as developing new collections,” says Hannah.

One strategic move that has proven successful: a string of high-profile collaborations, the most recent of which is an au courant take on an Art Deco motif inspired by and created in conjunction with Harrods department store. “Art Deco is making a comeback in interior design, and I love the use of geometric shapes, gilt and lacquer in interiors,” says Rachel. “The new design features an ornate scallop pattern gilded onto a metallic background with hand-painted watercolor accents.” Adds Hannah, “The wallpaper has a contemporary edge that we think will appeal to a whole new audience.”

In the quest to expand the brand’s reach, de Gournay pairs up in September with style icon Kate Moss, the latest partnership to feature a boldface name more synonymous with the runway than the annals of interior design. Other recent sartorial collaborations include Matthew Williamson, Jenny Packham and Moda Operandi.

Most recently, the company teamed up with Italian fashion label Aquazzura for a line of embroidered footwear and a Tropicalia-inspired wallpaper (shown in part on the previous page), which they developed as a nod to brand founder Edgardo Osorio’s Colombian heritage.

Of the synergy between the company and the fashion industry, Hannah feels it’s a natural fit—after all, wallpaper is a form of dressing for one’s home.

“There are a lot of similarities between couture and de Gournay,” she says. “We make everything by hand to the highest quality while offering limitless bespoke capabilities. Furthermore, people with style tend to have flair when it comes to their interiors, and vice versa. These days being stylish extends to a whole lifestyle, not just your clothing.”

RADAR / BIG IDEA

All handmade rugs tell a tale, spinning a narrative through silk and wool. In the case of Amadi Carpets, there’s another story as well: In 1984, the Ahmadi family fled war-torn Afghanistan to neighboring Pakistan, eventually emigrating to America with little more than the clothes on their backs and a talent for weaving.

Here, Zubair Ahmadi, one of the five brothers behind the brand, shares with us the company’s artistic and philanthropic vision.

For 20 years, Amadi Carpets has created some of the most dynamic and finely made rugs on the market. How did you learn the skills of the trade? Growing up in a family of nine children in Afghanistan, we learned the art of weaving from our mother, whose family opened the first silk-weaving factory in Kabul during the 1960s. As a kid, I worked on the loom alongside my brothers after school. We also learned to restore different types of antique rugs and textiles from various countries over the years, so we not only have a knowledge of the construction, but we’re familiar with different techniques and styles. Those same skills eventually led me and my brother, Zabi, to open

WRITTEN BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

our own small 400-square-foot workshop in Los Angeles in 1995, where we refurbished rugs found at flea markets and auctions. Today, all five of us—Zabi, Assad, Jawid, Murtaza and me—work collectively on operations and designs at Amadi.

How did you grow the company from a local repair shop to a global enterprise? Two years after opening our shop, we couldn’t find the quality of rugs we desired. We learned of numerous Afghan weavers who had fled to nearby Peshawar, Pakistan, during the civil war in the 1990s. We feel a deep connection with the people of Afghanistan and were looking for a way to assist those refugees. Zabi made the journey to Peshawar in 1997, and, coincidentally, ran into a foreman who worked in the factory that belonged to our mother’s family. Hiring him and his family led to employing other refugees. As the years went on, five looms turned into 10, 10 turned into 200, and soon we were employing over 1,000 Afghan weavers living in Pakistan.

At what point did you move the weaving operation back to Afghanistan? After the country’s liberation from the Taliban in 2003, many of the workers returned to Afghanistan.

That’s when we opened our first weaving workshop in Kabul and our focus shifted to employing an ignored sector of the population: women. It was our goal to create a safe workplace

where women would be empowered to make a living. It wasn’t easy: Even though we were from Afghanistan ourselves, we had to convince fathers, husbands and brothers that we were setting up a safe, harassment-free environment for their daughters, wives and sisters. Providing transportation to and from work offered them further protection. Additionally, due to four decades of ongoing war, a whole generation has been raised without an education; therefore, we offer one hour of basic reading and writing lessons every day.

In terms of the process, what distinguishes you from other rug companies? Since we control our own production, we get to be more creative, productive and effective than a typical rug gallery or company. From sourcing the raw wool to washing it, carding and dying it, we control every step. And the fact that we are improving lives along the way is an added plus.

Share what’s next for Amadi, design- and philanthropy-wise. We want to be more than a rug company. We’d like to launch furniture and textile lines one day. In terms of giving back, our goal is to extend the outreach of our programs and build more weaving centers in other parts of Afghanistan. After all, women are the backbone of the family, so if you help one woman, you help many people beyond her.

ROMANCING the STONES THE DESIGNER BEHIND MATTHEW STUDIOS TRAVELS THE WORLD SEARCHING FOR RARE CRYSTALS AND SEMIPRECIOUS GEMS TO CROWN HER LUXURIOUS LIGHTING AND HARDWARE COLLECTIONS. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY NINA CHOI

LX_COM14_Radar_Bespoke_MathewStudio.indd 102

When you walk into Katherine Wildt O’Brien’s studio, you’d be forgiven for thinking you stumbled into a jeweler’s workshop or a geology buff’s paradise. A panoply of glimmering stones greets visitors of the space—with bright crystal quartz, deep violet amethyst and gleaming pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, all on glorious display. Unearthed from the farthest reaches of the globe, the shining specimens inspire New York City-based

Matthew Studios’ collections, which include hardware, lighting and case goods.

Wildt O’Brien’s love of exotic rocks started at a young age. As a teenager, she worked parttime in a gem shop, where an eccentric, elderly West Indian woman taught her about crystals and their properties. Following her passion, she established Matthew Studios, named for her pet rabbit, in 2008. Her big break came when Tory Burch asked her to design crystal luminaries

for her stores. “Just walking into the Tory Burch offices is so inspiring,” she says. “When we got the opportunity to work on custom lamps for her, it was a dream come true, not to mention a creative learning experience.”

Today, the company occupies a large loft space in Harlem, close to where the designer lives. In fact, it was the area’s African market, just a few blocks away from her studio, that provided the impetus for Wildt O’Brien’s latest hardware line. “I love the handcrafted, global ‘Gypset’ vibe at the market,” she says. “I have been collecting cowrie shell earrings for years and have wanted to do a collection incorporating them, since the cowrie shell is a traditional symbol of wisdom and abundance. Horn is another favorite used in African craft, and a powerful talisman of strength and inner power.” Acquiring it is another story: “It took two years to find a reputable source for naturally shed horn,” she says.

Not surprisingly, Wildt O’Brien’s inspiration board is full of recognizable safari-chic imagery, such as film stills from Out of Africa, photos from vintage Ralph Lauren runway shows, the work of photographer Peter Beard and shots of intricate, hand-beaded Masai necklaces. “The pieces are imbued with a nomadic spirit,” she says. A passion for travel, painting and even flea-market finds also filters into the design process. “I recently found a red-tagged, sale-bin rhinestone purse, and the handle inspired my new metal Harper cabinet pull series,” she says.

Refined settings of polished brass, nickel and chrome allow the stones to steal the show, whether it’s the deep whiskey-hued facets of smoky quartz or the vibrant emerald waves of malachite—both of which are sourced from mines in South America and Africa, respectively.

LX_COM14_Radar_Bespoke_MathewStudio.indd 104

“Simple forms are paired with natural, tonal textures that resonate against hand-cast metal,” Wildt O’Brien says. That juxtaposition of organic forms with polished finishes lends the collection a sophisticated well-traveled vibe that hints at many of the pieces’ exotic origins. Says the designer, “I’m still charmed by the idea that these stones have journeyed around the world to end up in a stylish new setting.”

BEST IN SHOWS SET A COURSE FOR FOUR DAZZLING DESIGN FAIRS, ALL BELLWETHERS OF TRENDS TO COME, IN FOUR STUNNING EUROPEAN SETTINGS. READ ON TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKES EACH ONE UNIQUE.

WRITTEN BY MARY ORE

FEBRUARY 6-10, 2018

▲ BIENNALE INTERIEUR, KORTRIJK, BELGIUM

Reason to go: The best of Nordic style is on full display here, with more than 700 eyecatching new introductions in furnishings, accessories and lighting, in an event that coincides with the festivities of Stockholm Design Week. What you’ll find: Eighty percent of the products are Scandinavian in origin, so it’s no surprise that regional brands, such as up-and-coming lighting design line Pholc, as well as established brands like Svenskt Tenn, whose vibrant style is shown in the vignette at right, are well represented. Smaller makers are celebrated, too, for their reinterpretations of traditional Scandi style. While the fair itself unfolds at Stockholmsmässan convention center, the entire city plays host to over 100 events, installations and parties as part of Design Week. stockholmfurniturelightfair.se

OCTOBER 2018

Reason to go: Small in size, but big in design talent, Belgium is a growing destination for creatives and aesthetes alike, and this highly selective, rigorously curated show happens every two years. A nonprofit fair, the Biennale Interieur’s unique installations often blur the line between commercial design and fine art. What you’ll find: With nearly half of the new products hailing from Belgium, you’ll see innovative twists on regional vernacular staples such as neutral linens, raw and rough-hewn woods, and burnished metals. The focus is on mostly local, European-produced design with a decidedly international point of view, and collaborations across industries or cultures are encouraged. Past galleries represented include Maniera from Brussels, Carwan Gallery from Beirut, and Paris’ Studio Dessuant Bone, whose “Perpetual Motion” installation is shown here. interieur.be

STOCKHOLM FURNITURE & LIGHT FAIR, STOCKHOLM

SALONE DEL MOBILE, MILAN

APRIL 17-22, 2018

Reason to go: Top Italian luxury brands save their launches for this acclaimed show, which is one of the world’s largest and most-buzzed-about furniture fairs, with more than 2,000 exhibitors on display. The fair runs in conjunction with two other shows that alternate each year: Euroluce (with international lighting releases) and EuroCucina (showcasing new innovations in kitchens).

What you’ll find: Aesthetic beauty, perfected over the centuries by the Italians, is the hallmark of the show, which takes place during Milan Design Week. In addition to dramatic displays in the Mario Bellini-designed convention center (like the Cappellini booth at right from last year’s show), the city at large gets into the spirit, offering up its 17th-century palazzos, empty concrete train vaults and even 12th-century churchyards as magnificent settings for designer suites or lines of lighting, making a stroll through the already alluring Italian city full of even more magic and wonder. salonemilano.it/en/

MAISON&OBJET, PARIS JANUARY 19-23, 2018

Reason to go: While one rarely needs an excuse to visit Paris, Maison&Objet gives design aficionados added incentive, as well as a sneak peek into the lifestyle and home decor looks that will soon catch on everywhere.

What you’ll find: Having originated as an exhibition of tabletop decor, the vision for the show has expanded exponentially—it now occupies eight halls, each one’s offerings ascending in grandeur, culminating in full-scale room displays by leading international brands. While the convention center is a 30-minute shuttle ride from the city, ce n’est pas grave—new grave talents to discover, like Zuza Mengham and Glassworks, the artists responsible for the objets at left, respectively, make the trip worth it. Occurring simultaneously in the city is Paris Deco Off, a showcase for the newest textiles and wallcoverings from top global companies. maison-objet.com 124 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Holly Freres took the helm at the family-owned JHL Design in 2003 and has since created a studio reflecting the modern Portland design aesthetic with a sustainable ethos. Freres has infused her efficient and luxurious approach into a wide range of commercial developments and countless warm and bright residential projects often incorporating natural wood as her signature element. She recently completed a modern beach house in Arch Cape, Oregon, and is in the midst of designing luxury penthouse units in Portland’s Cosmopolitan on the Park high-rise building. Here, Freres takes us on a tour across the city’s four bustling quadrants because “for better or for worse, there is no ‘shopping district,’ ” she says. With great boutiques peppered throughout the area, the designer provides a locals’ road map to Portland’s dynamic neighborhoods. jhldesign.com 9 a.m. Start with breakfast at Headwaters in the historic Heathman Hotel and order the Dungeness crab omelette with Gruyere cheese and spinach.

HUBBARDTON FORGE

“

As a lighting designer, I should not be too focused on only the light fixture, but how that fixture interacts with the entire space, even if I don’t know what that space looks like.

” LED: LIGHTING THE FUTURE

An evolution in lighting design has taken place, incorporating new materials and technologies. Instead of retrofitting existing designs with LEDs, Hubbardton Forge has been developing designs specifically around the technology. To this end, the company has developed new initiatives, like using a local glassblower for many of its pieces and working with a local firm to develop LED components, thereby decreasing its environmental footprint.

“We’re using LEDs in new and interesting ways,” Kitts says. “With our Möbius mini pendant, we were able to shape and form the light-guide element so that it becomes a sculptural aspect of the piece.”

1

When lighting the kitchen or bath, Hubbardton Forge’s director of design, David Kitts, has this one directive. “Select light fixtures that you love; not just like. The bathroom should be your own personal oasis, and your kitchen should be a place where friends and family gather.” Insightful advice from the design lead of America’s foremost luxury lighting manufacturer. Lighting sets the mood, so he suggests mini pendants in multiples over a kitchen island and a chandelier or pendant with dimmable light above the tub. “The pendants won’t interfere with the line of sight for guests or family in the kitchen, and the chandelier creates a spa-like atmosphere in the bath,” he continues. A true American success story, Hubbardton Forge is known for pushing the limits of form and materials to create handcrafted designs that meld the artistry and functionality of lighting. With 230 designers and makers, engineers and production team and staff, the HF team views the world through unique prisms as they create beautiful pieces. Take Kitts’ recent trip to Reykjavik, Iceland, where its street art opened his eyes to a new way of looking at lighting. “I was inspired not by the content or quality of the work, but how the art interacted and contributed to the space, the building and the neighborhood,” he says. “Walking past the same mural on a sunny day and then again on a stormy day could be two very different experiences.”

Kitchen and bath remodels are no small feat, so make sure to invest the time and resources up front. Bring design inspirations in hand, and work with a professional to achieve the look you want within your budget.

”

According to the team at Cosentino, when it comes to surface solutions, granite has always been popular, but more consumers are moving toward quartz for its array of colors, lower maintenance and higher durability. And when it comes to style, they’re seeing contemporary themes, including industrial (midcentury modern and coastal), that combine clean lines, built-ins and simple cabinetry. As innovators in the world of kitchens and baths, Cosentino should know. The global company offers the latest in surfacing solutions by staying at the forefront of trends and manufacturing technologies. With the widest array of color and material choices, the company stresses the importance of cohesiveness so everything works together in the completed space. “Think long term,” the team says. “ ‘Will you love that bold color in a few years?’ ‘If you sell your home, would your choices be appealing to other buyers?’ “ They also cite the importance of weighing your lifestyle as much as your style.

“While it’s easy to make decisions based on looks alone, it’s important to think about how you use your space.” These answers inform everything from material choice to amenities one should include in their kitchen or bath.

STYLISH + SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS When you choose Cosentino products, you are getting the best on the market. Their advanced technical qualities, wide color options and 25-year warranty stand apart from the rest. For countertops, the new N-Boost advancement improves the color and luster of Silestone quartz, and makes it easier to clean than ever before. And while Dekton, the ultracompact surface with superior durability, isn’t new, Cosentino continues to create innovative color options that replicate the look of other materials. For energy efficiency and environmentally friendly products, Silestone’s ECO Line delivers with a series of colors made from up to 75-percent-recycled content, while Dekton Trillium is made from 60-percentrecycled content. Additionally, the company pays special attention to maintaining low emissions and a 98-percent reuse of water.

Meticulous crafting, smart technology, luxury appointments and user-centric design come together in the portfolio of DXV, the deluxe bath and kitchen product line that reimagines the most influential design movements of our time. “DXV fixtures and faucets are inspired by historically significant designs, reinterpreting them in light of today’s aesthetic and performance demands,” says Jean-Jacques L’Henaff, DXV’s vice president of design.

“When designing our lines, we integrate subtle highlights that showcase our meticulous crafting, and incorporate elements of personalization so clients can reflect their personal style.” Everything from genuine leather pulls and wood detailing to new material and finish options. For the kitchens and baths of tomorrow, the DXV team also puts intuitive touches, water efficiency and hands-free options into the creative mix. “We integrate new technologies in meaningful ways, making life safer, healthier and more beautiful for the end user,” L’Henaff continues. In terms of trends, clean, contemporary lines continue to be popular with a movement toward pure, simple forms that provide elegant utility. This objective supports DXV’s mindset to embrace quality, design, engineering, function and reliability in the core materials used to craft its luxury product collections.

3-D PRINTING + THE FUTURE OF DESIGN DXV is excited and inspired by the new possibilities that 3-D printing presents to the building and construction industry, particularly how it relates to bespoke design options. Its first-ever collection of 3-D-printed metal faucets represents the commitment of DXV to be a leader in this coming paradigm shift. Being first to market with a game-changing offering of working residential faucets created via 3-D printing speaks volumes about the creativity and originality that the DXV brand brings to luxury homes seeking distinctive, one-of-a-kind design innovations.

MIELE

“

We believe in clean lines and timeless elegance with user-friendly features and the highest quality materials for every type of cook.

Harmonious design is also key, making sure everything aligns perfectly together in the kitchen.

Unique features, the latest innovations and harmonious design characterize the centuriesold kitchen appliance manufacturer Miele. Since its founding in 1899, the German-based innovator has remained true to its philosophy of “Immer Besser”, or forever better, forward-thinking, environmentally friendly kitchen designs with the added promise of superior quality, convenience and the most discerning attention to detail. “We want to ensure that our customers have peace of mind when choosing Miele for their appliance needs,” vice president of marketing Christian Schwarz says. As the kitchen continues to be the hub of the home and a central location for entertaining and living, Miele rises to the occasion with colored appliances, steam and induction options, and smart technology as the “connected” kitchen grows in prominence. One example of this technology is Miele’s innovative M Touch display, which can be found on its ranges and ovens. Fast, easy-to-use and self-explanatory, these appliances operate intuitively by simply pressing or swiping with your fingertip. Be sure to visit a Miele Experience Center to explore further or participate in a cooking class to learn more from the experts at Miele.

Miele is proud to present a full range of colored appliances to the highend market, including Brilliant White, Truffle Brown and Obsidian Black.

For the smart kitchen, Miele offers RemoteVision™ Wi-Fi technology that creates a virtual link between a customer’s enabled appliance and the company’s monitoring center. So if a defect occurs, Miele’s customer service center can contact the customer, gain access to the appliance, and fix the problem. Miele recently launched the Miele@mobile app, where customers can connect their smartphone to the dishwasher, updating them on program times and sending reminders to refill rinse aid or dishwasher tabs.

WOOD-MODE FINE CUSTOM CABINETRY

“

For 75 years, Wood-Mode has been producing high-quality cabinetry with time-honored techniques that blend timeless craftsmanship and functionality with a fashionforward approach to design.

”

For affluent homeowners and designers, Wood-Mode products are easily recognizable, from their wide variety of stains and finishes, to well-proportioned door styles and detailed moldings. But the high-end cabinetry manufacturer goes beyond the surface with smart features, such as motion technology for doors, unique storage solutions and integrated lighting, that increase the functional use of any space. “The integration of LED lighting into Wood-Mode cabinet interiors continues to evolve and will become more prevalent,” director of design John Troxell says. “Technology and design innovations have made former challenges, such as interior, recessed vertical lighting and drawer bank lighting, a standard option now.” When discussing trending styles, Troxell says transitional and contemporary looks continue, drawing on recycled materials or midcentury modern details to define the effect. No matter the style, the team at Wood-Mode agrees—cohesion is key. And when starting any renovation, they offer these tried-and-true tips: Do your homework; develop a wish list; establish a budget and a time frame; and collect images of rooms, features and products you like. Troxell adds, “A growing array of materials and finish applications will provide consumers and designers with greater possibilities to create kitchens and other rooms that are uniquely personal.”

WOOD-MODE ON … ILLUMINATION + INNOVATION Wealthy urban and suburban homeowners are increasing the square footage of their kitchens, combining multiple spaces into one large, open-concept area. This provides us with a lot of opportunities, including custom-made furniture like bookcases and desks, along with breakfast nooks and multipurpose islands. Designers and homeowners also have the option to select species and finishes that complement or contrast within their design. Other trends include interior lighting with integrated LED, under-cabinet and in-cabinet options. We continue to be inspired by advances in storage and functionality as well. And metal is making its mark, with stainless-steel countertops and metallic fronts for cabinets increasing in demand.

ZEPHYR

When asked to describe the philosophy behind Zephyr, company president Luke Siow says, “We strive to transform the kitchen through design, discovery and care. Through our products, design partnerships and innovative technology, we hope to elevate the kitchen as a center for self-expression, family and well-being.” Fait accompli for the foremost kitchen hood manufacturer, marking its 20th anniversary this year with a look back at the defining moments in the company’s history and its game-changing hoods. The first manufacturer to bring performance and power-driven ventilation to the kitchen, Zephyr made a name for itself with the introduction of its European-style chimney hoods. Since that time, the company has launched industry firsts such as its DCBL Suppression System®, and Bloom™ HD and BriteStrip™ LED products. Zephyr continues to break design barriers and give designers and consumers more options with its new Black Stainless Steel hoods with titanium coating; a sleek alternative to stainless steel. “Consumers believe that heightened design should be central in the kitchen, and are uncompromising when it comes to performance and quality,” Siow says. With thoughtful designs and an ongoing commitment to technological advancement, Zephyr elevated the kitchen hood from a purely utilitarian appliance to an eye-catching, artful centerpiece.

“

Zephyr continues to change the marketplace by blending form and function to create beautiful, high-quality hoods that are an asset to any home.

ZEPHYR ON … DESIGNER HOODS Since 1997, Zephyr has been at the forefront of kitchen innovation, design and technology.

Aligned with this design-centric approach, the company has partnered with leading designers who balance aesthetics and technology with a masterful eye. In 2004, Zephyr released the Cheng Collection—a signature line of hoods through an exclusive partnership with design guru Fu-Tung Cheng, bringing his artistic and timeless style to the masses. Not long after, Robert Brunner, founder of Ammunition Design Group and the creative powerhouse behind products like Beats by Dre, joined Zephyr to create the innovative Arc Collection. A geometrically stunning marriage of glass and metal, this collection offers designers and homeowners modern sophistication at its finest.

THE RESTAURANT AT HOTEL PANACHE PARIS, FRANCE Located in the lively opera district of the city’s 9th arrondissement, this Art Nouveau-inspired bistro is emblematic of the neighborhood’s storied past and innate creative energy. Influenced by the triangular shape of the building, Parisian designer Dorothee Meilichzon, of Chzon, fostered continuity throughout with geometric details like round light fixtures and striped and hexagonal patterns, along with bright pops of color, all while maintaining the restaurant’s classical French integrity—as seen in the pieces shown here.

OUT OF THE BOX IN A WORLD VAST WITH ENDLESS INSPIRATION AND INCREDIBLE DESIGN, THESE SIX GLOBAL BRANDS CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION THIS SEASON, BEGGING TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC PIASECKI

MARA SILBER

INTERIOR DESIGNER MARASILBER.COM

At first sight: I’m completely impressed with Oeuffice’s penchant for reimagining the classics: They manage to create sculptural works of art that are equally functional and versatile. On composition: It’s against this backdrop that the stools prove their inherent duality. They feel natural against the exposed brick but would also easily hold their own in both a formal or contemporary setting. As far as design goes… Italy really has no limits. These stools resonate with the country’s influential style in part because of the simple application of elegant, timeless materials; the Cipollino Apuano marble is super-sleek, the travertine is very porous, and the Rosa Perlino marble is full of movement. Each element is independently unassuming, but in union, striking works of art are born. Lasting impression: Refined, sculptural, bold, fresh and playful.

LX_COM14_Market_Spotlight.indd 146

5/16/17 12:49 PM

POST MATES THE PIECES: Ionik Stool and Tuskan Stool THE DESIGNER: Oeuffice FIND IT: mattermatters.com THE INSPIRATION: When Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and Jakub Zak’s creativity united in 2011 to form their U.K.-based design laboratory, Oueffice, they challenged themselves to imagine limited-edition objects, that were reminiscent of utopian ideals and innovation. Enter the Ionik and Tuskan stools, both part of a second coming of the studio’s Kapital collection and based on primitive stone columns resonant with classical architecture. Handcrafted in Italy using solid-stone blocks, they are modern in aesthetic and scale but maintain the integrity of their inspirational era—an edgy balance very much in line with the contemporary duo’s manifesto.

PALETTE PLEASER THE PIECE: Spring Lamp in Irish Green THE DESIGNER: Mathieu Lehanneur FIND IT: carpentersworkshopgallery.com THE INSPIRATION: Paris-based designer/artist/science enthusiast Mathieu Lehanneur dreamed up the Spring lamp, alongside its counterparts from the Spring series, with the intention of transporting design lovers to a land of natural and ecological metamorphosis.

Lehanneur’s aim to create eye-catching objects that examine nature’s poetic side is realized in this delicate lighting fixture, comprised of a bundle of hand-blown, ribbed-glass tubes in a rich green marble base.

Along with other materials from the series, both the marble and glass were incorporated into the piece in their natural color and condition— inciting a primitive moment in an otherwise distinctly modern piece.

LX_COM14_Market_Spotlight.indd 148

OLIVER M. FURTH INTERIOR DESIGNER OLIVERMFURTH.COM

At first sight: There’s a wonderful sense of fluidity to this light fixture, almost like water that’s lit from within. Artist to artist: In my own work, I’m constantly trying to push the design dialogue forward, and this piece falls in that special spot between design and sculpture. Lehanneur is playing with our preconceived notions of what a lamp is and propelling those ideas a little further. It’s important… To know the rules before you break them. Here, the artist is clearly informed about design, which is why any risks taken clearly paid off. Global musings: As our world becomes larger, it’s increasingly important to look inward and become more focused. For example, I try to figure out what an area offers that’s specific to that place, whether woven silk textiles in Laos or innovative lighting in Paris. I am always on the hunt for the offbeat and the unusual. The French… Have been innovators in decorative arts since AndréCharles Boulle’s then-groundbreaking furniture in the 17th century, and I think Lehanneur is definitely following in the footsteps of his countrymen. Lasting impression: This design is sculptural, graceful, fluid, lyrical and dynamic.

5/16/17 12:49 PM

CRATE MATTERS THE PIECE: P2 Lavinia Exagonal Armchair THE DESIGNER: Lazzarini & Pickering for Marta Sala Éditions FIND IT: thefutureperfect.com THE INSPIRATION: A second collaboration between noted Italian architect Marta Sala and Roman architectural studio Lazzarini & Pickering brings us the P2 Lavinia Exagonal armchair, a showstopper from Marta Sala Éditions’ Collection No – 2. Shown in a sumptuous Pierre Frey fabric, the seat’s striking shape and seductive proportions incite immediate interest. One would expect no less from this power collab, but there is still something to be said about a design that equally prizes comfort and allure. And in the case of the P2 Lavinia: Mission accomplished.

LEO PARRELLA

INTERIOR DESIGNER LEOPARRELLA.COM

At first sight: The Lavania Exagonal armchair is incredibly modern and reminiscent of Italian furniture from the 1960s and ’70s—a fitting result from this pairing of industry leaders. The piece is as smart from behind as it is straight on, and the exacting lines are both gorgeous and unapologetic. As a first-generation Italian… I may be biased, but I feel that Italy is the undisputed leader in design. Be it automobiles or architecture, furniture or fashion, the legacy of our people is bold, thoughtful design, and this piece is clearly Italian-born. Global gatherers: The hunt and find is one of the more thrilling parts of what I get to do with interiors. Pieces collected from around the world add that transportive element of a life welllived. And an international piece with heritage or a good story gives a sense of being collected rather than assembled. Lasting impression: This striking seat reads as stylish, architectural, luxurious and dramatic.

SEND AND DELIVER THE PIECES: Mali Vases and Jethi Vases THE DESIGNER: Jaimal Odedra FIND IT: maisongerard.com THE INSPIRATION: Moved by the melodious rhythm of bamboo forests, decorated fashion vet Jaimal Odedra set out to explore a new medium with his Mali and Jethi vases. Using bronze in the traditional sand-casting technique, the vases are handmade by artisans in Morocco, and though Odedra visualizes each form and silhouette, the life of each piece is organically determined by the skilled hands that shape it—resulting in one-of-a-kind mini masterpieces.

CONSUELO PIERREPONT AND KATIE SPALDING INTERIOR DESIGNERS SWAY-STUDIO.COM

At first sight: Jaimal’s pieces exude a dramatic subtlety and a relaxed-luxe nature. They’re extremely elevated and yet artisanal all at once.

We are really drawn… To the versatility of these beautiful objects. They are such unique designs but don’t have an obvious provenance, in the best way possible. In design, culture and spirit… Morocco is perpetually inspiring with its use of colors, shapes and the effortless ability to seamlessly blend everything together. While these vases are a more modern interpretation of these traits, they embody the country’s unmistakable mélange of the organic and the well-crafted. Global musings: Nothing adds layers like sourcing from around the world.

Our clients want to know the stories that are attached to a piece; they want us to use pieces that tell a part of their story. Jaimal’s works seem to do just that. Lasting impression: Fluid, effortless and memorable.

INTERIOR DESIGNER MEGANPFLUGDESIGNS.COM

At first sight: The Celestial bowls are the perfect fusion of traditional forms with modernized midcentury ideals. While the shapes are evocative of ancient pottery, the studded embellishments are extremely current and pack an edgy punch. Ceramics (and Tulum for that matter) are… Having a huge moment, which makes Elad’s latest collection even more special and relevant. It’s really lovely to see regions with a long-standing relationship to these materials and techniques making a mark on contemporary design. The resulting pieces always seem to have the most integrity. At home: I imagine these objects functioning beautifully as both decor and utilitarian objects. I’m already picturing filling them with fruit or creating an unexpected floral arrangement. Lasting impressing: The Celestial bowls are modern, punk, classical and statement-making.

LX_COM14_Market_Spotlight.indd 151

CASED GOODS THE PIECES: Celestial Bowl on Stand in Gold + Green and Celestial Bowl on Stand in Gold + Black THE DESIGNER: Elad Yifrach FIND IT: l-objet.com THE INSPIRATION: Elad Yifrach, the mastermind behind lifestyle brand L’Objet, fell in love with Tulum, Mexico, the moment his senses connected with the town’s lustrous and unparalleled warmth and energy. This beachy nook along the Yucatan Peninsula and its storied history inspired a collection of earthy, charmingly desaturated and understated yet elegant pieces. The Celestial bowls, especially, speak to Yifrach’s devotion to Tulum’s vibrancy and aesthetic: a little bit wild but nevertheless the pinnacle of authenticity.

WHITE GLOVE THE PIECE: The Man Ray Glass Leaf Mirror THE DESIGNER: Cox London FIND IT: rosetarlow.com THE INSPIRATION: After years of creative collaboration and a mutual affinity for the decorative arts, design duo Christopher and Nicola Cox officially joined forces in 2005 with the launch of their London studio. Ever since then, they have been producing exquisite and original pieces—the Man Ray mirror being no exception.

A love letter to 19th-century French Dieppe bone mirrors, the Man Ray is a striking blend of handpulled ivory glass leaves, carved silver gilt wood and hand-silvered mirror plate, and embodies the very vision of its creators: designs that are rich in technique and timelessness.

MAX HUMPHREY INTERIOR DESIGNER MAXHUMPHREY.COM

At first sight: This showstopper of a mirror appeals to me in that it is extremely delicate but commanding of your attention—a true statement piece indeed. It also speaks to the fabulousness of Cox London as a company. Add Rose Tarlow’s stamp of approval and I’m sold.

As an Anglophile… With a lifelong obsession for all things British—pop music, movies, art and design—this mirror epitomizes the U.K. tradition of things not always being what they seem. At first, I thought it was comprised of a million little shark teeth à la Damien Hirst’s renowned tiger shark in formaldehyde sculpture, which like this mirror, doesn’t fully register until staring it right in the face.

On composition: I love the contrast of this fragile piece dwelling in an industrial space, when one would normally anticipate it living in a traditional environment. Lasting impression: This mirror is delicate, intricate, beautiful and unexpected.

“ An award-winning builder and a leader in green building standards, Tieton Homes combines innovation, sustainability, collaboration and quality to craft homes that exceed all expectations.

After spending several years in the industry, Ryan Zygar recognized the need for a new type of home builder in the Pacific Northwest. He opened Tieton Homes, a firm focused on modern, site-specific residences. Describing the personality of his business as “classic and refined, yet rock and roll,” Zygar points to the dedication and expertise of his team as a daily motivation. “The energy on our sites inspires me,” Zygar says. “The crews are always being challenged, and they respond with such a burst of talent and passion for their professions. We are working hard, but laughing and excited about every project. Our city is rapidly changing, and we are creating little pieces of art in this wonderful landscape.”

“I’VE ALWAYS HAD A FASCINATION WITH ARCHITECTURE AND THE MECHANICS OF HOW THINGS WORK.”

BEHIND THE NAME “The Tieton River is in central Washington,” Zygar says. “It has some serious rafting, but then you break into the calm and can’t help but be taken by the natural beauty. Our company is strong, bold and on the cutting edge, with a focus on striking awe through naturally fitting, high-quality modern design.”

While there’s no place like your own abode, we’d wager that any one of the hotel kitchens or baths we hand-selected for the following pages would prove suitable exceptions. Hot spots such as this Soho House Istanbul apartment have all the calling cards of luxury lodging but enjoy amplified comfort and convenience thanks to design details—such as this fully integrated kitchen and bar—reminiscent of a residential space.

Offering more than simply mini bars and plush towels, our top picks also boast walk-in showers clad in hand-painted tile, or even contemporary freestanding tubs set against historic architecture.

So, kick back, relax and plan for an extended stay, because these design-driven destinations feel a lot like home—only better.

PREPARE FOR TAKE-OFF AS LUXE SETS AN INTERNATIONAL AGENDA THAT INCLUDES AMAZING ARCHITECTURE, INSPIRING INTERIORS AND MUST-SEE SIGHTS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

FLIGHT OF FANCY Modern technology has put inspiration at our fingertips, dissolving traditional boundaries and making even the most remote pockets of the planet feel within reach. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of design, where at any given moment, creatives have access to a virtual library of beautiful images and products from around the globe without ever having to leave home. While armchair travel is a lovely way to kill a few hours, sometimes it’s necessary to put down that smartphone, hop on a plane and go see the sights firsthand. After all, there’s no comparison to experiencing the architecture of Marrakesh or Shanghai in person. To that end, we recruited a few of our favorite industry experts to share some of their top international spots for design lovers.

English artist Claire Brewster creates intricate paper sculptures from cut-out maps of the world. Birds in flight are a favorite subject, as in Done and Dusted shown here.

MARRAKESH EXPRESS

One look at her iconic line of carpets and textiles, and you can see the Moroccan inspiration behind Madeline Weinrib’s work. The New York-based designer has been making annual pilgrimages to Marrakesh for nearly 20 years.

Below, she presents her top recommendations for shopping and sustenance. madelineweinrib.com

PLACES TO SHOP:

PLACES TO EAT:

33 RUE MAJORELLE Like a smaller version of the legendary Parisian boutique Colette, this open-concept shop just opposite the Majorelle Garden is stocked with an expertly curated collection of clothes, jewelry and art by local designers.

DAR YACOUT Designed by Bill Willis, the late American architect and decorator who helped put Marrakesh on the style map, this dining spot serves a set menu amid dramatic decor.

Plan ahead; reservations are a must.

ALNOUR Located in the medina, or old city, this workshop and store is a social enterprise for handicapped women who are skilled in the art of embroidery. They sell exquisite, handmade linens for the home, as well as clothing.

EL FENN BOUTIQUE With its impressive art collection and drop-dead gorgeous interiors, El Fenn, from Vanessa Branson, Virgin mogul Richard Branson’s sister, is one of the most stylish stays in the medina. Now, it features an adjoining boutique with an array of wonderful home goods, which can be shipped globally.

I’ve collaborated with them on a collection of pillows, and all proceeds from sales benefit a foundation that teaches women to weave in the Atlas Mountains.

LX_COM14_TheReport.indd 180

NOMAD RESTAURANT With a modern menu that features fresh salads, Nomad is my favorite place for lunch in the medina. The café has a lovely terrace that overlooks “spice square,” where you can view all the exotic spice vendors.

Bonus: They take craft cocktails seriously here.

LALLA French owner Laetitia Trouillet crafts chic handbags—think studded leather clutches—and accessories at this boutique in the hip Guéliz district. Her bags, scarves and headbands make wonderful gifts for friends back home.

DAR MOHA This restaurant was once the home of French designer Pierre Balmain. I like to sit by the pool, but all the rooms are charming. There is a set menu with many courses of Moroccan food, so be prepared for a feast.

MAISON DU KAFTAN Perhaps no article of clothing conjures images of Morocco quite like the free-flowing kaftan. Also located in the medina, this store is stocked with versions of the garment in all colors, styles and price ranges.

BELDI COUNTRY CLUB If you need a peaceful respite from the commotion of the souk, you can’t beat this place for a leisurely swim or a spa treatment. Grab a French-style lunch by the pool—the salade nicoise is divine!

ARTFUL LODGER Jasper Conran has designed women’s fashion, menswear, accessories and home goods, but he’s never attached his name and aesthetic to a hotel—until now. L’Hôtel Marrakech is the British designer’s first foray into luxury lodging.

“Opening a hotel has brought together all that I enjoy working on the most: food, textiles, interiors and gardens,” he says. Located in a 19th-century riad (a traditional Moroccan dwelling with an interior courtyard) in the heart of the medina, the otherworldly retreat combines modern-day amenities with oldfashioned glamour. “Marrakesh is a city of amazing contrasts where one can wander along dark alleys and emerge into exquisite gardens and beautiful courtyards,” he says. “I wanted to make L’Hôtel Marrakech a comfortable home, where people feel immediately welcome and happy.” l-hotelmarrakech.com

3 a la mode A half century ago, the desert city of Marrakesh cast a spell over fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, forever influencing his work. To honor that legacy, the long-awaited Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, designed by Studio KO, will open its doors in October. Located on the street bearing his name near the Jardin Marjorelle—the legendary garden that he and longtime partner Pierre Bergé saved from development in 1980—the museum will feature permanent and rotating exhibitions as well as a library, café and restaurant.

“This city deeply influenced Yves’ life and work, particularly his discovery of color,” says Bergé. “The Studio KO architects share this passion for Marrakesh and their clean, uncluttered style recalls his work.”

German architect Gisbert Pöppler has crafted sophisticated, jewel-box spaces throughout Berlin during his 20-year career. Over the years, he’s cultivated a number of favorite haunts throughout the art-centric city. Below, he shares a few picks. gisbertpoeppler.com

Emperor Wilhelm II, and its garden is a calming hideaway in the middle of the city.

8:30 a.m. I love starting the day with breakfast in the Wintergarten café at Literaturhaus Berlin.

The villa was built in 1889, during the reign of

2 p.m. I stop by Trouvé-Berlin for a little treasure hunting. This vintage furniture store is dedicated to French and Italian design of the 20th century.

10 a.m. Head to Berlinische Galerie (shown above), a new museum whose primary collection is composed of art produced in the city, spanning from 1870 to present-day.

12 p.m. Hunger strikes, so I pop into Salumeria Lamuri, a casual Italian restaurant located in the Kreuzberg neighborhood. It’s my favorite intimate spot for a satisfying lunch with a good glass of wine.

3 p.m. For treasure of a different sort, visit René Talmon l’Armée’s shop. The jewelry designer makes beautiful pieces using 18-karat gold, oxidized silver and naturally colored diamonds.

4 p.m. To get a sense of Berlin’s decadence in the 1920s, check out the museum at the LiebermannVilla. German painter Max Liebermann’s old summer residence by Lake Wannsee holds many of the artist’s paintings and has an impressive garden.

7 p.m. Briefmarken Weine is a low-key wine bar that occupies a former East German storefront— its neon sign “Briefmarken” translates to “stamps.”

With amazing pasta, antipasto and wine, it’s the perfect spot to end the day.

AGAINST THE GRAIN

File this one under happy accidents: Cologne-based designer Meike Harde was staining fabric when some of the pigment spilled onto her wooden worktop, leaving streaks of bold color to run along the grain of the surface. In that moment, her Wooden Aquarelle project was born. Based on a technique once used by German Expressionist painters, Harde’s process of applying color to wood is random, so no two panels are alike. With their intense hues and soft transitions, the panels resemble dreamy, hypnotic watercolors. When applied to furnishings, like the triangular nesting tables seen here, the effect is mesmerizing. meikeharde.com

LOCAL FLAVOR Nearly 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German city has enjoyed a renewed reputation as a decadent and cosmopolitan hub for the international art and design scene, and many of its unique hotels reflect that vibe. Here, we present four urban retreats that cater to individualized style.

EDGY LUXURY ECLECTIC AND PLAYFUL 25HOURS HOTEL BIKINI BERLIN Housed in a former 1950s high-rise, this hotel’s youthful vibe comes from the whimsical interiors of German designer Werner Aisslinger. Bicycles dangle from the lobby’s ceiling and hammocks hang in rooms overlooking the city zoo, providing the perfect perch for checking out the wildlife.

SHANGHAI SURPRISE

There’s no shortage of personality in Jamie Drake’s glamorous, modern, color-saturated interiors. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that the celebrated New York designer also has a reputation for being quite the bon vivant.

What better insider to share his idea of a perfect day in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai? drakeanderson.com 7:30 a.m. Rise and shine at The Peninsula hotel located right on The Bund, the famed waterfront promenade. Enjoy the view of the new city of Pudong across the Huangpu River. From here, I can see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, an awesome 1,535-foot spire that looks like it came right off the pages of a futuristic comic book.

8:30 a.m. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the lobby, the hotel’s airy and spacious hub. The smoked salmon with a single scrambled egg is perfect, and the breads and pastries from the buffet are hard to resist; though, I do try to limit myself.

10 a.m. I always make time after breakfast for a relaxed morning walk along The Bund to admire the city. It’s a good way to get revved up for the day ahead, and it’s the best time to avoid the massive crowds that descend on the area at

lunchtime. With so many different types of buildings, the neighborhood is a living museum of architectural styles.

12:30 p.m. Off to the Longhua Pagoda and Temple. It features a vegetarian restaurant, which is quite common for an active Buddhist temple. The superb main course is a soup bowl filled with carefully prepared garden delights and noodles. In the nearby entry area, school children learn how to make dumplings.

2 p.m. After lunch, tour the pagoda and temple with one of the monks as a guide. The multiple buildings are filled with spectacular carved and gilded deities. I’m in awe of one of the halls in particular; it’s filled with 500 golden statues. My kind of army—peace-loving and glittering!

3 p.m. Check out more furniture showrooms in the design district around Jiangning Road. Some of the wares are eye-poppingly over-the-top, but there are a few quieter, modern offerings as well.

5:30 p.m. Sneak back to the hotel for a muchneeded rest and pre-dinner nap.

8 p.m. If you grow weary of Asian food, opt for French food at the sensational bistro Franck, located in the French Concession neighborhood.

By this time, a martini up with a twist is sorely needed, and much enjoyed. When I’m there, I order a traditional Gallic meal and wash it down with a light Beaujolais. For dessert: rich and decadent chocolate mousse.

10:45 p.m. Lights out—until the next time. Xie Xie!

INSIDE STORY For over 20 years, Kerry Phelan has been a leading force in the Melbourne design scene, creating elegant spaces that are understated but luxurious. Here, she gives us the scoop on her effortlessly hip hometown. kpdo.com

What quality makes Melbourne design unique?

Melbourne has a different feel than Sydney. It has a colder climate, and it’s moodier; whereas, Sydney is all about the sunshine and the harbor. Our design always nods to our natural environment.

Why do you think the city is having a moment?

The influx of a lot of new restaurants, cafés and bars has given designers a chance to be more adventurous. Also, the residential property market is extremely competitive—developers not only employ designers as a marketing tool, but also to promote a Melbourne lifestyle. Finally, there’s Instagram, which is creating its own, universal visual language, bringing Australian design to an international audience.

DRAMATIC TURN Sydney designer Greg Natale, known for his fondness of bold colors and geometric patterns, has won international acclaim for his tailored, sophisticated interiors. Read on for his take on design in the land down under. gregnatale.com What sets Australian design apart? I think our geography has helped to create our own “international” style. We’re influenced by our traditional European roots, but we also admire the creativity and industriousness of America.

Factor in our proximity to Asia and our mild climate, and you can see how Australian design has evolved into its own thing.

the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which is next to the Royal Botanic Gardens, or the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, which is nestled on the shores of Sydney Harbor.

It may sound clichéd, but if you’re ever in town, you must visit the Sydney Opera House to see a show and take in the amazing architecture by Jørn Utzon.

Favorite Aussie designers past and present: I am a big admirer of the late architect Harry Seidler. His work was ahead of its time and his career spanned many decades. His projects weren’t always warmly received, but his provocative work defined a style and an era of Australian architecture.

Dream project: I would love to try my hand at a private jet—who wouldn’t! There’s a challenge in creating a chic interior with so many restrictions on space and functionality.

Must-see sites when visiting Sydney: As an art lover, I always make sure to drop into

LX_COM14_TheReport.indd 217

Favorite local design brands: Chris Connell Design is brilliant for all things furniture, product, interiors and architecture; he’s been a driving force over the last 25 years for original design.

And Bruce Rowe from Anchor Ceramics does phenomenal sculpture and planter vessels.

Up next: I recently launched a collection of decorative glass mosaic tiles with Italian brand Bisazza. I also did a new collection of hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk rugs, and I’ve got new housewares out later this year.

HOME AUTOMATION

EUGENE RAKHLIN DUSTIN RICHARDS PETER WILBERDING Pro Tech Solutions Portland, Oregon 503.747.4872 info@protechpdx.com protechpdx.com Eugene Rakhlin, Dustin Richards and Peter Wilberding each entered the home automation industry from different perspectives. Encompassing business development, construction, trade knowledge, sales and design, they have combined their skill sets to bring a well-rounded expertise to the Pacific Northwest, through their firm, Pro Tech Solutions.

With a Bang & Olufsen design center in the Pearl District and brand partnerships with renowned companies like Mari Design, Pro Tech offers homeowners many benefits. One such advantage is the opportunity to explore the look, feel and behavior of each product before making selections. Along with this design-centric approach to technology, Pro Tech believes in making the process as smooth and simple as each client’s smartphone.

“When a homeowner or builder brings us into a project, we take full responsibility for not only their experience, but their technology road map into the future,” Rakhlin says. “We strive to present our clients with a custom product that matches their lifestyle, decor and automation needs.”

We translate the client’s individual experiences into solutions that are simple and powerful.

How would you describe the personality of your business?

Our success has developed into lasting relationships with our clients and a future-facing company culture that feels fresh, light and nimble.

Is your work easily recognizable?

Why or why not?

From top to bottom, beautiful projects and designs require installation expertise. We encourage our entire chain to take ownership of the quality of the project. The fine details of our execution set our projects apart.

How do you stay abreast of new trends and styles?

We track incremental performance upgrades through trade shows every year, but integrating skills and principles from different disciplines is the challenging part of staying at the forefront of our industry.

Who or what inspires you most?

People who are blazing the trail into the future.

Today, we are able to offer products that were science fiction just a few years ago. What’s more, we can offer them at affordable prices.

What projects have brought you the most satisfaction and why?

When a client says, ‘I just want it to be simple,’ at the beginning, but, by the end, is making up funny voice commands for different functions in their home—that’s satisfying!

The Bang & Olufsen brand, along with Mari Design, anchors Pro Tech's design center in the Pearl District. The team is able to offer clients a space to experience firsthand many of the finishes, usability options and ways to integrate Pro Tech's variety of services into their lifestyle.

How do you define a successful project?

Of course, every company wants happy customers. Delivering an automation experience that exceeds expectations will be the standard in the industry one day, but doing that in a way that's lighthearted, playful and fun is the rewarding part.

fter finding success in Big Sky, Montana, Mike and Anne Brunelle wanted to get back to their roots.

Thus, they relocated their namesake firm, Brunelle Architects, to the Wood River Valley—Anne’s childhood home. “Even though the valley has changed somewhat since the 1970s, its core allure remains the same: living in a wonderful setting surrounded by a vibrant, supportive and close-knit community,” she says. Known for a small-town feel combined with the cultural opportunities of a big city, the region offers an activity and a society for everyone, from the artist to the sports enthusiast. “Whether they are active, like to socialize or appreciate the arts; have children, are retired or are wildly single, they can find their space,” Mike says. With such an array of individuals and personalities, the region’s residential designs lend themselves to variety. For the Brunelles and their team, this means adapting to any client’s vision and paying careful attention to their stylistic preferences. The firm’s portfolio boasts work in an impressive array of locations, from Alaska and Montana to the shores of Lake Tahoe in California. As for his Sun Valley-based projects, Mike says, “We work on second homes 50 percent of the time, and the demographic here is evenly split between empty nesters and younger families.”

he team at Conrad Brothers comprises, as president Paul Conrad tells it, “builders and craftsmen at heart.” The history of this award-winning firm spans more than 100 years, beginning with two German immigrants and brothers. At the turn of the century, the boat builders evolved their business into a midsize commercial contractor. Then, in 1997, Conrad decided to venture west, thus founding Conrad Brothers of Idaho. “As a third-generation contractor, it was never a question of what I would do, but where,” Conrad says. “The people and quality of life in the Sun Valley area made this a natural choice.” Dedicated to and involved in the community and its positive growth, Conrad Brothers participates in a plethora of community events, from supporting various nonprofits to sponsoring fundraising activities for local programs.

Asked to elaborate on the development he anticipates within the valley, Conrad says, “Municipalities in the area are focused on expansion in terms of economic growth for small, ‘location neutral’ companies. A renewed attention on marketing to new visitors has raised the profile of the area.

The feel of the valley will remain intact, because it is surrounded on all sides by federal and national lands, but we look forward to sharing this place.”

Established 38 years ago, Krekow Jennings adopts a solution-driven approach, marked by ingenuity. “We get excited by working with adventurous clients and architects to help them develop the vision for their project,” White says. “It is not necessarily about what it looks like, but how to create what is essentially a commissioned piece of art. The high level of craft we provide is not only in the finished product, but also how we got there and how we manage the process.” Located in Seattle, with a second office in Sun Valley, the firm has an acute awareness of local talent. “We have a strong connection to the community,” White says.

“Every member of our Sun Valley staff is a resident of the area. There is an elevated skill level and appreciation for the craft here. The challenge is not that it does not exist, but finding it and capitalizing on it. I think we have been successful in doing that.”

Today, the Lloyds’ son, David, runs the company as president, along with partner Ian Sundby. As they celebrate 40 years in business, the team continues to couple tradition and reputation with current management techniques and trends. “We place great value on understanding and implementing the latest business systems and building science, while being careful not to sway from what our company was founded on: communication, loyalty and craftsmanship,” David says. “Each member of our team is professional, dedicated and passionate about building. Our education never ends. We seek out courses, readings and projects that test our limits in the trade, keeping us sharp and on top of the industry. We are driven by our clients to perform smarter and more reliably than they expect. We are communicators, and we get the job done right.” Holding to these principles, Lloyd Construction has maintained its status as a mainstay in Sun Valley, where craftsmanship, know-how and a personable approach are highly valued.

Of the region’s reputation as a vacation spot that has a tendency to become the visitor’s permanent home, Sundby says, “The community has a strong pull.

S

hannon Flavin of Windermere Real Estate has lived and worked in Sun Valley for more than 13 years, and has built his business on three core principles: honesty, accountability and work ethic.

“My business may grow slower than some, but I sleep well knowing that my clients get the best out of me, and they always get a straight answer,” Flavin says. “Because of this, I’ve been able to build very strong relationships with my clients and the real estate community.” Flavin pairs an understanding of Sun Valley’s emotional allure with a drive to achieve his clients’ practical objectives. “Sometimes the goal is to create income from an investment, and other times it is just to find a home to enjoy this beautiful place,” he says. “Usually, the client wants to find a great home that will also be a great investment. Understanding the nuances of the locations and knowing the inventory enable me to find the properties that will achieve my clients’ goals.

To do it right is hard work.” A true local, Flavin calls Sun Valley a “pure, recreational paradise.” Participating in an array of charitable activities and acting as realtor to clients of all ages and income brackets, from all over the world, Flavin is deeply involved in Sun Valley’s community—he knows it well. “Almost everyone here is passionate about something outdoors,” he says. “It is a social place, with a wonderful mix of restaurants and cultural opportunities.

ocated in the heart of Ketchum, and an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, Sun Valley Real Estate leads the market in the value of transactions completed per agent. “Our firm is made up of full-time professionals with an intimate knowledge of the local market,” owner and partner Suzanne Williams says. With ties to the world’s leading art and real estate network, Sun Valley Real Estate brings international exposure, as well as local experience and presence, to the table.

Given the region’s homeowner demographic, which is split between families and empty nesters, the firm’s well-rounded expertise is essential. Asked to describe the future of the area she knows so well, Williams notes several recent developments. “Sun Valley now has better air access than any other time in its history, with nonstop flights to six major cities,” she says. “That access, along with the development of new hotels and the renovation of the Sun Valley Lodge, is bringing new people to share the fantastic lifestyle.” After completing her master’s degree in real estate at MIT, Williams moved to Sun Valley to raise her children in a community renowned for its outdoor opportunities and great schools. “We meet so many wonderful people who move to the area for the same reason we did: to enjoy a small, close-knit community with plenty of activity,” she says.

Architect Jeff Williams placed a fireplace in a board-form concrete surround at one end of a Ketchum home’s great room.

Designer Susan Marinello furnished the seating area with a sofa by Holly Hunt from Jennifer West and a set of chairs by Gregorius Pineo from Kelly Forslund. The cerused-and-wire-brushed European oak flooring is by Schotten & Hansen.

H

ow do modernists relax? Like many people, one Seattle couple headed to the mountains, but, with their decidedly contemporary sensibility, they weren’t looking for the same-old, same-old rustic retreat to put on a site near downtown Ketchum with sweeping views of Bald Mountain. Instead, they asked architect Jeff Williams and designer Susan Marinello for a riff on the traditional, with one caveat. “They are modernists,” Marinello points out, “but they wanted everything to feel comfortable and inviting.”

The thoughtful reimagining of tried-and-true materials coupled with more contemporary gestures begins at the entry. Reclaimed Wyoming corral board, installed both horizontally in wide planks and vertically in narrow strips, is the first hint that this isn’t your typical mountain home.

“People expect to see this kind of stuff on ranch houses or lodges, but until recently, they weren’t used to seeing it on such a contemporary house,” Williams points out. That it is ultimately a contemporary house is signified at the front elevation. A standing-seam roof and black sheet metal panels on the exterior define a second-floor volume, while custom window louvers provide privacy, bring in light and break up the façade. Board-form concrete also makes an appearance on a section of the home housing the great room fireplace: “It complements the wood and introduces another texture,” the architect says.

Inside, directly opposite the fireplace is the kitchen’s massive bronze range hood, one of many black elements, including the metal-clad windows, that add contrast to the neutral color scheme devised by Marinello. “Black is a common denominator that we wove through,” the designer says. “It’s meant to be punctuation for how all the other materials come together.” For example, dark countertops and a light subway-style backsplash tile offset the alder kitchen cabinetry, which blends in with the cerused-andwire-brushed European oak flooring and intricate woodbeam ceiling. Likewise, the dining table’s metal base and wood top stand out against the hide-covered dining chairs.

“Everything feels soulful, as if it has been there for a long time,” Marinello says. “The finishes are highly textured, so there’s a richness and depth.”

“This was an environment that was made for her fixture,” Marinello says of the Lindsey Adelman light above the Gregorius Pineo table in the dining area. Surrounding it are custom chairs in a Coraggio leather. In the kitchen beyond, Mark Albrecht Studio counter stools from Trammell-Gagné pull up to the island. Builder Brian Poster oversaw the installation of the beam ceiling.

Behind the Wolf range from Albert Lee is a backsplash in tile from Pental Surfaces, and the Blanco sink features a Kallista faucet. Adjacent to the space is a breakfast area with a Gregorius Pineo table and Saladino Furniture chairs.

The wood structure above the master bed creates a cozy window seat, which is upholstered in a wool from The Dixon Group. The windows from View Point frame a west-facing vista to the terrace and the forested landscape beyond.

Though the materials have a tactile quality, Marinello is also quick to note that “this is a house of concrete, metal and hard lines, so it was important for us to add softness with rugs and fabrics.” Cozy furnishing groupings offer a multitude of places to relax throughout the home’s three levels—the deep comfortable sofa in front of the fireplace in the great room, the plush banquette in the master suite and the purple hammock in a guest bedroom.

For Marinello, though, “the lighting is the most important layer to the success of this interior.” Carefully placed spots highlight the texture of the great room fireplace and wash down on to the plaster walls. In the master bedroom, concealed recessed light strips are in a canopy-like structure that starts as the headboard and runs across the room to form a built-in daybed. The gesture imparts a subtle glow to the room at night. Making a sculptural statement

regardless of the time of day are an ethereal chandelier with bubbly glass globes over the dining table and one in the stairway composed of interlocking rings.

The cantilevered stairway resides in the southeast corner of the residence in its own glass-encased volume.

Builder Brian Poster and his crew installed it using a tower crane to lower it into place before completing that section of the roof. The crane also came in handy when it came to snow removal during construction. “We used it to lift tarps of snow off the jobsite to be hauled away,” the builder says. A heavy snowfall this past winter also gave the house a big test when hundreds of pounds landed on the decks. “We came through in terrific shape,” he says.

Porcelain pavers define the decks—one off the great room with an outdoor kitchen and a hot tub and another off the third-floor master suite—chosen by landscape luxesource.com / 249

architect Rob King in collaboration with the team. King also built retaining walls to create usable lawn space on the hilly lot. “It was really challenging to get it to work,” he says, “but the result is pleasant and peaceful.” King then planted evergreens to screen the views of the roads from the house to ensure that the family’s retreat would be private.

Given its distinctive modern appearance, the home has become something of a local landmark. Even better, Williams reports the homeowners are thrilled with their new escape. While its success is a testament to the combined skills of those involved, Marinello also credits more cosmic forces. “The stars and the moons really had to align to get this kind of outcome,” the designer says.

“It was an A-plus team.”

Artist Saul Becker (above) works on a new oil painting in his studio at his Burien home; on the nearby wall is one of his large watercolors. Tiny tapers fill Dansk candleholders (right) in a corner of the residence he shares with his wife and partner, Kristen. A small oil hangs over a 1974 Triumph Trident motorcycle (opposite) that the artist used to own and recently reacquired.

F

or many people, the thought of being adrift on the ocean, enveloped in a thick, murky haze, would inspire a fullfledged panic attack. Burien painter Saul Becker is not one of them. “I often have daydreams of falling asleep in a rowboat, out at sea, in the fog,” he says. “I know it sounds terrifying, but to me it would be amazing.”

Becker’s fondness for the sea is apparent in his recent work. Part hyperrealist document, part dreamscape, the paintings are the result of an expedition he took to the Arctic Circle eight years ago. At the time, he had been living in New York, making landscapes of detritus-strewn vacant lots.

“The urban landscape began to inform how I saw things, and I started to worry that if I went out into a big, beautiful, unadulterated place, then that natural environment wouldn’t be interesting to me anymore.”

Turns out the sea’s siren call proved irresistible to Becker. “The colors were unreal; one day I saw the ocean freeze before my eyes, and I’ve been painting that experience for about five years now,” he says. “When we get out into real wilderness, it seems alien. I relish those moments when I can get in touch with how strange and beautiful it is.”

The hazy, dreamlike quality of Becker’s artwork can be attributed to his technique, which blurs the lines between reality and imagination as well as photograph and painting. First, he photographs the site, then he pieces the images together and manipulates them via computer to create a new composite landscape. The works on paper are painted backward using a rubber-resist

masking fluid to cover the lightest sections before applying a color wash, and repeating until he peels away the rubber substance to reveal the end result. As for the oil paintings, Becker favors a thin application, going over it with a dry brush to smooth the surface. He’s more interested in the image than the physicality of the paint.

Taking in Becker’s pieces, it’s hard not to reflect on the eerie majesty of the landscapes and even extrapolate a subtle commentary on climate change. “I was looking for a way to represent the Arctic without falling into the familiar trope of the polar bear sitting on the melting ice cap,” he says.

Indeed, Becker is more interested in highlighting our increasingly tenuous relationship with the natural world than glorifying our exploration of it. Unlike the landscape paintings of the Hudson River School movement, which reflect themes of discovery, exploration and settlement, his works counter those themes with concepts of amnesia, entropy and abandonment.

Up next for Becker is a new series of landscapes focusing on forest fires in Eastern Washington. Also on the horizon are a few public art projects in collaboration with his wife, Kristen, and their partner, Jim Friesz, in their architecture and design practice, Mutuus Studio, including a waterfront installation transforming the Acid Ball at the defunct Georgia-Pacific mill in Bellingham.

They’re also developing a new line of architectural hardware and lighting. “For a long time, I saw my interest in design as a distraction from my art career. Now it’s all supported and valued in a way I never could have imagined,” he says.

t feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of everywhere,” the owner of a home by architect David Coleman and designer Elizabeth Stretch says of its Bellevue locale. Situated on an acre lot, “the site offers complete privacy and has southern exposure,” the husband says. “It also has slopes and areas that are good for kids to explore.” As secluded as the surroundings seem, though, the spot is within easy commuting distance of downtown Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle, adding to its appeal.

After living in the existing home on the property for several years, the family called on Coleman and Stretch to create a new abode that fulfilled their desire for a house with abundant natural light and a strong connection to the land. They were drawn to Coleman’s modernist vision that embraces indoor-outdoor fluidity and is as comfortable as it is artful. “There are large glass walls, water features and exterior rooms or courtyards that terrace up the site alongside the structure as part of the residence,” the architect says.

Coleman kept nothing from the existing dwelling, save one thing. “The previous house didn’t have much going for it other than its L-shape plan and the way it was sited,” he says, so the new structure occupies the same spot. “It worked well with our strategy of pushing the house back on the site to maximize the spaciousness of the lot.” The architect then divided the public spaces from the private areas. “There are two wings,” he says. “With its glass walls, the living wing is like a pavilion. It has tall ceilings and a roof form that resembles origami, and it is supported by large concrete columns in the front and the rear.” The exterior walls in those spaces are made of lightly colored fiber cement. As a counterpoint to the public wing’s soaring volume, the private wing has a low-slung flat roof and is wrapped in a composite material stained to look like burnt cedar.

Despite their soaring feel, the communal spaces were invested with elements that bring the scale down. For example, a suspended ceiling made of sapele wood hangs in the kitchen, where it adds intimacy and warmth.

A Bellevue home’s public wing, composed of the main living areas, boasts wide expanses of floor-to-ceiling glass from Quantum Windows & Doors.

The reflecting pool at the top of the stairs is a soothing element. Throughout, architect David Coleman chose materials and details that minimize visual noise and strengthen the calming feel of the site.

For the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance, Coleman employed a concrete staircase, walls, columns collared by custom light fixtures and an undulating roof form. Landscape architect Bruce D. Hinckley outfitted the area with a reflecting pool and a waterfall that helps to diffuse street noise.

Porcelain tile from Pental Surfaces creates a feeling of quiet elegance throughout the residence. Builder Mark Schilperoort managed the installation of the sapele-wood ceiling over the kitchen, which adds warmth and texture to the area. The cabinetry, accented by Linnea hardware from Seattle Interiors, is also crafted with sapele wood, and the counters are topped

by Caesarstone. Camerich chairs pull up to the dining table designed by Coleman.

“It floats beneath the more expansive ceiling of the public wing,” the architect says. And according to builder Mark Schilperoort, installing that kitchen ceiling was no easy feat. “It contains all of the lighting and audio for that space,” says Schilperoort, who worked with superintendent Brian Keller on the project. “The logistics of installing that kitchen element required a lot of planning and structural considerations.”

The crisp geometric lines of the architecture inspired a spare and deliberate selection of furnishings. “I always feel lucky to work with a clean, modern project,” Stretch says. “It means the furniture pieces are important objects that define areas and how they’re used within one big

open-plan living-and-dining space.” Adjacent to the dining area, the designer arranged four pale blue tub chairs and a rug, which the homeowners found on their travels in the Kashmir region of India. “The clients had these rugs they wanted us to incorporate. They drove the palette in an interesting way,” says Stretch, who incorporated red, gray, blue and cream tones throughout. Another rug in similar hues makes a statement in the living room. There, Stretch placed sofas upholstered in charcoal gray and a pair of armchairs covered in a red fabric. “It’s a very tight palette,” the designer says. “The furniture shouldn’t dilute the purity of the architecture; it should add scale and warmth and define spaces without making too much visual noise.”

At the rear, the roofline extends beyond the glass walls and creates a shading mechanism for the terrace, where Stretch placed a table, chairs and chaise lounges from Design Within Reach. Coleman designed the light fixtures attached to the concrete columns.

LX_PNW36_HOM_Coleman_14.indd 267

6/6/17 12:51 PM

The master suite showcases a custom cantilevered window seat crafted from sapele wood.

Stretch selected a bed by B&B Italia and a lounge chair and ottoman by Ligne Roset for the space. The bedside tables and the cabinet are by Camerich from Alchemy Collections.

With the project’s landscape architect Bruce D. Hinckley, Coleman not only tied the home to its surroundings, but he also designed a structure that works in tandem with nature to create a dynamic experience. “We created a waterfall at the top of the entry stairs,” Hinckley says. “David agreed to let us expose and glaze what had previously been proposed as a subterranean wall. This allowed us to create a plunge pool between the house and the entry stairs. The water reflects ambient light onto the garden wall, a building wall and the ceiling.”

But however connected to the land this house is, it also suggests opposition to it. “I’m a contrarian,” Coleman says, noting that the abundance of timber in the Northwest often leads to construction featuring the material. “I look at that and think it’s a little too heavy and dark,” Coleman says.

“My reaction to the Northwest is different. I want to create structures with lightness.”

efore determining the palette for a project, designer Dixie Stark takes her time carefully observing her clients. “I look at things like what they are wearing and the color of their eyes to give me hints for dressing their rooms,” Stark says. For a couple building a house on Lake Sammamish, she waited patiently for the color scheme—discovered sartorially or otherwise—to be revealed. Finally, at one meeting, the wife walked in wearing a camouflage jacket, and the designer knew exactly where to take the design.

“She looked so good in those colors, I knew olive green combined with neutrals was the way to go,” Stark says.

The restrained palette also proved to be the right complement for the equally reserved clear-cedar-sidingand-asphalt-shingle-roof structure designed by architect Jim Romano. “We worked to keep it simple both inside and out,” says Romano of his interpretation of the Pacific Northwest contemporary style. “The wood works well in this location, and the broad overhangs provide weather protection.” His vision for the exterior materials coupled with an approach that reveals a series of structures with

LX_PNW36_HOM_Koppel_14.indd 274

slightly varied roof forms belies the spectacular setting that awaits on the other side. The architect controlled the massing so that it wasn’t overwhelming and collaborated with landscape architect Ken Philp to craft a welcoming entry. “We created a processional arrival sequence that begins at the parking area and moves you to the entry garden,” says Philp, who used oversize bluestone pavers with planted joints to create a soft progression along the entry court and planted star magnolias and Japanese maples to help frame spaces and serve as focal points.

On the building’s west-facing lakeside elevation, with its large spans of glass, different scaling tactics were required.

A covered deck on the second floor and a covered terrace below control the bright afternoon sun while creating what the architect terms a more personable scale. The master bedroom and the sun room project out, bookending the structure, and on these sections the architect ran the darker siding vertically for added contrast.

When it came to outfitting the interiors, the homeowners opted for a minimalist take. “I used to be a real knickknack girl, but the architecture here has made me appreciate

simplicity,” the wife says. For their new abode, the couple was looking for a place that would work effortlessly for both elegant entertaining and relaxed family gatherings.

She also insisted the interiors acknowledge and embrace the natural surroundings. “I’ve become endlessly fascinated with the happenings of our resident bald eagles,” she adds.

So inside, Stark and Romano determined that a limited number of hard finishes was the way to go, including an ash brown for the rift-cut oak beams and metal on the fireplace and kitchen hood.

Getting the perfect finish on the fireplace and hood, not to mention matching the grain on the kitchen cabinets and overseeing the craning in of a fully assembled exterior spiral staircase, fell to builder Klaus Toth. “The steel had to sit in an acid bath for over a month to get the desired effect,” he says. Post-acid marinade, the living room fireplace now serves as a commanding organizing feature for twin leather sofas and a super soft bamboo-silk-and-wool rug, 276 / luxesource.com

both defined by understated olive tones that reference the inspirational camouflage jacket. Offsetting those hues and creating contrast are white shades. “It’s not a screaming palette,” Stark says. “Everything is intentionally subtle because the house is really a lovely backdrop for the view, which absolutely makes you gasp the first time you see it.”

Meanwhile, a round metal chandelier hovering over the living room seating area provides a tie back to the fireplace while introducing a curved element to soften the linear space. Similarly, the entry’s forged bronze lantern is a circular counterpoint for the staircase geometry, the wood-slat dining room chairs have a bend of their own, and the rectilinear sun room is offset by the barrel backs of four chenille-covered swivel chairs. Thanks to a series

of floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, these spaces also afford sweeping views of the lake and a steady source of natural light. Elsewhere, the architect included clerestories to guarantee privacy. “Because of the home’s proximity to its neighbors, we controlled the views without sacrificing light,” Romano explains.

According to Stark, all their efforts came together to meet the homeowners’ refined yet casual criteria for their lifestyle while honoring the environment. “The living and dining areas are prime for formal entertaining, but you can set a cocktail on that sofa and not worry about hurting the leather arm,” Stark says about the home’s livability.

“And even on a nasty day, you still have this amazing experience of watching seaplanes land on the water and observing those bald eagles.”

The custom cabinets by Seattle Cabinet & Design feature Ashley Norton pulls from Chown Hardware and play off the kitchen’s quartzite counters and backsplash from Pental Surfaces. Albert Lee supplied the Wolf appliances. The faucet and pot filler are by Waterstone.

Just off the kitchen in the sun room, glimpses of the rolling lawn, a design feature envisioned by landscape architect Ken Philp and installed by Greenbank Site Development and Landscape Services, can be seen through Loewen windows from Windows, Doors & More. Gathered around the Palecek coffee table are four A. Rudin chairs in Brentano chenille and topped with pillows covered in Mokum fabric. Above is a Hubbardton Forge light fixture from Seattle Lighting.

Off the upper-level office-guest room, the covered deck creates a perch to take advantage of the spectacular lake vistas. The partially enclosed space can be used year-round, and an exterior spiral staircase connects it to the main terrace below. The chairs are from the homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection.
