BRENDA ARIANPOUR ON SEATTLE DESIGN CENTER’S ... …
Origins: Seattle Design Center first opened its doors in 1973. In 2014, Greenbridge Investment Partners purchased SDC and embarked on a transformation totaling more than $8 million. Mission: Seattle Design Center is the nucleus of the Pacific Northwest interior design community. The campus has been designed to ignite creativity and inspire the highest level of design imaginable. Each of the signature showrooms has a reputation for catering not only to the interior design community, but also to design enthusiasts, builders and architects alike. SDC is an integral part of the local design, art and cultural scene, hosting ongoing trade talks, guest speakers and events tailored to the design community. It is the epicenter for sourcing the highest quality of diverse luxury products, discovering the latest trends, cultivating inspiration and providing a one-stop shop to bring each client’s one-of-a-kind vision to life. Future: SDC continues to welcome new showrooms. Stacy Logan opened in the fall of 2018, and Heritage School of Interior Design began classes in February 2019.

This Las Vegas home brings together three individual DaVinci installations to form a modern interpretation of fire befitting the home’s location. A fireplace in the main living area (120" x 20") creates a visual connection to another (90" x 20") just outside. In the master, an “L” configuration (54" x 54" x 20") anchors the room. All three fireplaces feature postless, frameless construction, SafeTouch Glass™ and TouchSmart Controls that let you direct the LED-lit media, all set against a gloss-black glass finish. ARCHITECT/BUILDER: SUN WEST
Every DaVinci Custom Fireplace ™ has its own story to tell... DaVinci’s unique and truly custom approach to the fireplace of your dreams begins with a reimagining of how we can design with fire. Our exclusive self-contained modular fireboxes unlock more than a thousand design possibilities, providing an impressive variety of lengths, heights, styles, lighting and media options. Each creates a stunning focal point for any indoor or outdoor living space. And when it all comes together, nothing compares to the extraordinarily beautiful flame of a DaVinci—delivered with quality, safety and unmatched value.

A Home by the Lake Garret Cord Werner
Architects & Interior Designers “Water is the source of life.�
This was the singular thought by which principal Garret Werner of Garret Cord Werner Architects & Interior Designers found himself occupied upon meeting his client at her new property.

T
he client, an avid swimmer, desired a waterfront sanctuary within the city. She wanted a home that felt private while taking advantage of the site’s panoramic views of Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains beyond. Werner incorporated the client’s love of water into the core design of the home, which is nestled in the woods of a not-so-secluded North End hillside lot on Mercer Island. Thom Schultz, of Mercer Builders, was selected for this project because of his extensive high-end construction knowledge. The team knew he could make sure the project vision came to life in detailed execution. With the owner and the property’s natural setting serving as inspirations, Werner went about the creation of a spatially dynamic home. The architect embraced “Maâ€? ( ), a Japanese term used to describe a concept of space that is experienced progressively through intervals of positive and negative volumes, for this unique project. This philosophy led to a very unconventional home design that expands views and perspectives from every room and every angle. $ ´VSLQH RI ZDWHU Âľ DV :HUQHU GHHPV LW UXQV WKURXJKRXW WKH KRPH DV D GHĂ€QLQJ HOHPHQW %HJLQQLQJ DV WKH HQWUDQFH¡V UHĂ HFWLQJ SRQG LW PRYHV WR D SURSXOVLRQ ODS SRRO LQ WKH FHQWHU RI WKH KRPH EHIRUH HQGLQJ LQ DQ LQĂ€QLW\ HGJH VSD 7KH wood bridges, one of which is encapsulated by glass, act as the vertebrae of that spine by providing structure and links between the private spaces and living areas. :HUQHU JRHV RQ WR GHVFULEH WKH ZDWHU LQ D GLIIHUHQW VHQVH ´,W EHFRPHV D UHĂ HFWRU RI OLJKW ZLWK ULSSOHV FDVWLQJ VKDGRZV WKDW FDVFDGH RQWR WKH Ă€U FHLOLQJ EHDPV FRQFUHWH Ă RRUV DQG H[WHULRU ZDOOV Âľ KH VD\V 7KH KRPH LV LGHDO IRU OLIH LQ DOO RI Seattle’s seasons, with multiple sequenced glass sliding doors that completely open up and embrace the outside, or protect the home seamlessly from the elements while still providing ample light during the darker months. Werner adds, “There is a minimalistic power to these elements that helps provide serenity in the space.â€? Werner points to nature as the most important design element throughout the home. “It is the canvas for which architecture and interiors should exist,â€? he says. “Our work should reinforce and capture nature’s most powerful virtues within a controlled environment. Water, light and vegetation are the three primary components that bring our work to life.â€? PHOTOGRAPHY / BENJAMIN BENSCHNEIDER

EDITOR’S LETTER

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interiors are by HBA, the global firm renowned for luxury hospitality designs, but the amenities will make living there unique. Typically reserved for hotel guests, room service, housekeeping and a spa will be at residents’ fingertips. The project is slated for completion in mid-2019. liveatavenue.com
Must-see design spots in Vancouver. JM: We have been fortunate enough to design some of the most interesting restaurant interiors in the city—a few are Kissa Tanto, Savio Volpe, The Botanist and, most recently under our Studio Roslyn umbrella, The Lobby Lounge at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Where should I begin in my own home? JM: With something personal. If there’s an object you love or a piece of artwork, start with that and build off it. What’s next? KS: We’re continually doing more work outside of Vancouver, which is exciting. A few standouts are a unique vegetarian restaurant in Kelowna, British Columbia; a brewery in Victoria, British Columbia; and a large project in Calgary, Alberta. 098 / LUXESOURCE.COM

In Italian, enoteca means “wine shop,” but Enoteca Nostrana in Portland’s Southeast neighborhood offers much more. The Euro-style bar evolved from the wine program of its parent restaurant, Nostrana. Inspired by the whimsical Italian postmodern architects and designers of the 1980s known as the Memphis Group, the two-story space features champagne cork-shaped stools at a quartz-topped bar clad in a geometric tile design by local architect Rick Potestio. But the star of the room is the floor-to-ceiling wine cellar of gleaming glass and steel, which holds nearly 3,000 bottles of vintages from Spain, France, Germany, the Pacific Northwest and, of course, Italy. enotecanostrana.com

FRONT OF HOUSE GALLERY Portland interior designer Jessica Helgerson is well-regarded for her understated and cozy work in residential and commercial spaces, but she also doubles as a curator—in her very own workplace. The aptly named Front of House Gallery is the welcoming threshold to her interior design office, which she fills with installations in a variety of mediums, such as wood, metal, video, textiles, dried flowers, and glass (as in Andy Paiko’s Refraction Monologue, shown below). “I’m fascinated by installation art because of the intersection between it and interior design,” she says. “Both take an existing space and reimagine it. Our work as designers is always enmeshed in layers of practicality, whereas the gallery installations are a pure vision that don’t need to fulfill any practical requirements or be permanent.” When selecting artists to present, Helgerson gives them free reign in the space. The resulting work, she notes, is “grounded and active, weighty and ephemeral.” As for what’s on now, she says: “Our current show is by my dear friend Heather Watkins, an established Portland artist whom I’ve long admired. She created a dark, powerful installation of dyed ropes that are suspended from the ceiling. After that, Portland artist Christine Clark will be installing her beautiful ‘cloud brambles’ at the end of March.” frontofhousegallery.com

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

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

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

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

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

SITTING PRETTY
When designer Ariella Duker of A-List Interiors bought 10 1/2 acres in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, she didn’t imagine that months of building delays on the property’s main home would mean designing the pool house first. “The estate is beautiful in the summer months,” Duker notes, so the pool area quickly became the focus. While originally the design of this space had been simpler and more seasonal, the structure is now built for year-round use and features a sophisticated scheme with an elegant kitchen for entertaining as well as a boho bath that adds to the eclectic feel. alistinteriors.com We love the global influence. The design and decoration certainly have a European flair: from the boxwoods and espalier trees framing the outside of the stucco structure to the antiques inside I’ve amassed over time. I like to think of this as country French in upstate New York. Even the bathroom feels international! I wanted the pool house to be both grand and casual at once.
How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych. The small but mighty kitchen holds a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Monogram ice maker and Shaws Original sink by Rohl. Walker Zanger tile decorates the floor of the bathroom. 192 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

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

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

With available coordinating pieces, such as garden benches and lounge and arm chairs, your outdoor living space will exude classic style and laid-back elegance. mecox.com

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

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

TAKE shelter
In his first book, The Art of Outdoor Living, California-based landscape designer Scott Shrader showcases the bucolic grounds of 12 properties as extensions of the homes they surround. Shrader shares his tips for creating inviting alfresco spaces. shraderdesign.com What qualities should every outdoor area have? With seating, lighting and shelter, a garden can become another environment for living and entertaining. Typically, people feel most comfortable when they have some form of covering overhead, such as a steel trellis or a grid of old olive trees (shown above). Why is that? It is often overlooked as commonplace, but the much-needed shade produced by a tree’s branches provides its visitors with a sense of warmth and protection. Any specific tricks to share? Wherever there is seating, I make sure it faces a beautiful view.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
To create the ultimate dramatic entrance, landscape architect Jarrod Ryan Baumann incorporated more than 2,800 succulents into a glorious vertical teak garden gate that opens to a Bay Area residence. The composition—an eye-catching arrangement of varietals in a range of shades and textures—blurs the line between nature and architecture in an innovative way. “Our designs tend to be very architectural,” notes Baumann, who used the gate to set the tone for the architecture and greenery within. “We see the landscape as both a structure and piece of land that we sculpt into something brilliant.” zeterre.com
9HOT seats
Believed to have been carried over from Buddhist garden tradition of using natural elements like tree stumps as seats, garden stools have been a part of the Chinese furniture tradition for 1,000 years. Handmade of ceramic using old-master finishes and techniques, the Durian Garden stool (right) and Magnolia stool (far right) are both hand-glazed and uniquely feature a range of decorative motifs like foo dogs, magnolia blooms and simulated nailheads. Not only do they provide great versatility as a side table or extra seating, but they also add that much-needed pop of color or texture to any interior or exterior space. dennisandleen.com

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

ALL OREGON LANDSCAPING 503.646.6426 | alloregon.com | @alloregonlandscaping
At All Oregon Landscaping, the lifestyle of the homeowners guides a project’s design as much as the site’s unique requirements. “After we meet with the client, understanding their personal style, interior spaces and preferences informs our approach,” Craig Prunty says. The owner of All Oregon, Prunty works in collaboration with all members of the in-house design team. Together, they envision, design and build out alfresco spaces to rival those of the interior. The company also welcomes the opportunity and privilege of working with other architects. Among the design elements the All Oregon team deems game changers, carefully selected hardscapes, LED lighting, and water and fire features top the list. “Altogether, a well-designed open-air space considers the activities of the end user, with flow and function at the forefront,” says Tony Prunty, All Oregon’s vice president.
Our clients value the integration of interior and exterior spaces more than ever.

THE UNION OF STYLE + SUSTAINABILITY Eco-friendly techniques are a core aspect of the All Oregon method, but the team is careful to ensure the aesthetics never suffer. “We have done extensive swale work for our new construction projects,” Craig says. “Able to capture and filter runoff, swales serve a practical purpose in an outdoor space.” Gracefully incorporating these systems into an overall design, All Oregon creates beautifully well-balanced landscapes that benefit the land. 2

CARNEY LOGAN BURKE ARCHITECTS 307.733.4000 | clbarchitects.com | @clbarchitects
Responsible for maximizing vistas, enabling access to the exterior and protecting a home’s interior structure and inhabitants, architects have taken their place at the forefront of indoor-outdoor residential design. This is certainly true for Eric Logan and the team at Carney Logan Burke Architects (CLB). With offices in Jackson, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana, locations known for their breathtaking and versatile landscapes, the firm has found the extension of living spaces to the outdoors a recurring theme in its work. “We typically create what we call transition spaces, comprising large sliding doors that open, for example, from a living room to a covered outdoor space with beautiful views and an array of amenities,” Logan says. “The creation of this seamless flow is often a goal for our designs.” Dedicated to understanding the nuances of the site and the homeowner’s desires, CLB exemplifies collaboration, customization and the value the natural world brings to daily life.
A powerful design is driven by a set of ideas, whether the contemplative peace of a Zen garden or the extreme exposure of an edge condition.

THE LANDSCAPE OF THE AMERICAN WEST Once home to large log and timber structures reminiscent of the architecture seen in national parks, the West has since evolved to encompass an array of stylistic preferences. According to Logan, the modernization of architecture in the West has one particular focus: a relationship with the outdoors. “We are opening whole walls or spaces in an effort to connect people to the beautiful sites on which they live,” he says. 2

Today’s finest gardens and outdoor environments are layered with orchestrated moments that produce memorable experiences. Ornamental gardens can be interlaced with the beauty of vegetable gardens, creating idyllic places to relax and share meals with friends. Inspired by this concept, artists like those at Koch Landscape Architecture are achieving new standards for innovative open-air environments. “An outdoor space should be free of distractions and focus on personal comfort, relaxing visual attractions and intense sensual experiences,” says Steven E. Koch, the company’s principal and lead designer. “It should offer a milieu of elegance and serve the owner as a physiologically restorative place.”

What does the modern-day homeowner want in an outdoor space? To ask Scott Ongley is to come to a one-word conclusion: everything. “They look at their outdoor living space as a retreat, and a place to gather with friends and family,” he says. “They also want to expand their home’s spatial footprint, while minimizing their ecological footprint.” As the vice president and general manager of Lisac’s Fireplaces & Stoves, Ongley spends many a day discussing these desires with Pacific Northwest homeowners. Such interactions are, he says, essential to a successful project. “With fire-related products, it’s important to involve professionals for safety and quality reasons,” he says. “Fit and finish are also important, especially in luxury homes. Our years of experience and training ensure safe products, proper installation, and achievement of the desired look and function.”
PRINCIPLES OF PARTNERSHIP “We have been in business for more than 60 years, which allows us to choose only the best brands for fireplaces, barbecues, heaters and fire pits,” Ongley says.

According to Wes Stewart, CEO of Sunset West, today’s homeowner is moving away from matching outdoor furniture sets in favor of separate, yet cohesive and complementary, items. With a product selection boasting resin wicker, aluminum, wrought-iron and teak furnishings, as well as Sunbrella fabrics, Sunset West enables the consumer to tailor each piece to their individual tastes. As for his advice to homeowners beginning an outdoor project, Stewart says, “Do your research. What do you want your completed project to look like and how do you want it to function? Oftentimes, furniture is an afterthought to the contractor and people find themselves settling for a product they can fit into the space, rather than purchasing the product they wanted.” 1
Sunset West was founded on the idea that choice, style, comfort and quality need not be in the stratosphere when it comes to price. 2
OPEN-AIR FURNISHINGS: A CONVERSATION WITH WES STEWART Keys to a well-designed space? Scale and proportion. It should also have furniture in a style commensurate with the surroundings. Favorite product? That’s tough and space-dependent, but right now, my favorite would be our Coronado collection. Tips for proper upkeep? Furniture covers are probably the single best thing you can do for your pieces. The second best would be to dust off your cushions monthly and clean them yearly.

NATURAL ELEMENTS A CONTEMPORARY HOME ON LAKE WASHINGTON RISES, HARMONIZING WITH AND CELEBRATING ITS SURROUNDINGS. WRITTEN BY JAMES MUNN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON LEITZ
O
n the shores of Lake Washington, a contemporary glass-and-steel dwelling rises, at once respecting and celebrating its surroundings. That it does so is testament to the skill of its design team, who took the clients’ prime directive, “Outdo yourself,” to heart. Beyond that stipulation, the couple tasked architects Bryan Krannitz and Matthew Kent with crafting a residence defined by clean lines and simple materials. Taking advantage of natural light—sunshine in the mornings, indirect daylight the rest of the time—and reinforcing the property’s relationship to the lake with several water features was also a priority. The structure that Kent and Krannitz, along with their colleagues Barry Gehl and Michael Conover, conceived consists of pavilions organized along a glass spine that runs from the main entry of the house to the north end of the building—a gesture that welcomes the sunlight the clients desired and connects the home to its surroundings. By pushing in and pulling back at various points along the spine, the architects allowed for lush outdoor areas in the spaces between each pavilion covered “almost exclusively with native plant materials,” says landscape architect Bruce D. Hinckley, who worked on the project with landscape designer Mario S. Laky. “We created a Northwest woodland.” Furthering the relationship between the house and the lake, the architects and landscape team in collaboration devised a succession of water features for the property. They flow into one another until they pour into an element designed to feel like a native pond adjacent to the lake. In combining glass components (such as floor-to-ceiling windows) with the water features that dot the grounds, the architects achieved their goal of engaging with the environment, especially expressing the “seemingly constant
“THE HOUSE IS THE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND NATURE.” –MATTHEW KENT
presence” of the rain says Kent. “By allowing the owners to hear and meet the rain collecting on large expanses of glass, as well as experience the ambience of rainfall as it fashions geometric patterns in the ponds surrounding the house, we are, in a sense, inviting the rain inside.” In addition to the ample glass, the team opted for an elegantly restrained materials palette of steel, wood, concrete and stone. “They were striving for a thinness of structure and the illusion that the rooflines are sort of just floating,” says general contractor Klaus Toth. “Steel is our friend in that regard.” The wood paneling on the home’s interior and exterior is shou sugi ban—charred according to a Japanese technique, to finish and preserve it—which gives the effect of a worn piece of driftwood. Concrete in a neutral tone and limestone also run inside and out, resulting in a cohesive feel. “Once the materials were established for the walls and floors, and warm woods settled on for the cabinetry and ceiling, the client asked for glass to be incorporated indoors,” reports designer Barbara Leland, a veteran of multiple projects with the clients. The material makes several appearances around the house: in the dining room’s illuminated counter; in a powder room’s waterfall wall; above the kitchen island and dining table; and via the artwork— notably a sculpture by Peter Bremers at one end of the entry spine. “The homeowners wanted the glass to introduce a sparkle, to bring in some softness,” Leland notes. “And it brings in different light experiences depending on the way it is illuminated—with controlled lighting or natural light as it changes throughout the day or year. A sunset penetrating the large glass sculpture in the summer is as dramatic as seeing it lit from above during the evening.” To temper and leaven the stone, metal, wood and glass, Leland relied on thoughtful infusions of texture and color. Linen wraps the coffee table in the great room; chenille and leather dress the daybed. Pillows in a pale blue and a gray-scale chevron pattern add a jaunty note to the sofa. In the sitting room, the designer mixed a shagreen bench with suede-backed sofas, punctuated by chartreuse pillows. Rugs throughout define spaces within the relatively open floor plan, contributing yet another degree of color and texture. “Each area is framed with the contrast of the dark floor and a light carpet,” explains the designer. “The larger spaces, such as the great room and the dining room, have overall blended patterns and colors but the sitting room lends itself to a starker play off the sculptures with a bold pattern and light-dark coloring.” By any measure, the team outdid itself. With its subtle, sophisticated interiors, not to mention what Kent sees as “the seamless integration of architecture, landscape architecture and nature,” the house categorically succeeds, engaging with and connecting to its stunning locale. Says Toth: “The clients have a lot of pride living in the home now. It’s comfortable for them. I think it reflects everything that they wanted. And that’s very satisfying.”
Architects Barry Krannitz and Matthew Kent conceived a long spine for a house on Lake Washington. On the floor is limestone from Yellow Mountain StoneWorks. Designer Barbara Leland chose custom Tufenkian rugs from Driscoll Robbins Fine Carpets. Carol Anderson of Arterra curated artwork, such as the Peter Bremers glass piece.

PEAK EXPERIENCE CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF GLORIOUS BLUEBIRD DAYS, A BIG SKY RETREAT OFFERS A NEW TAKE ON MONTANA LIVING. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AUDREY HALL
LUXESOURCE.COM / 245
H
ome design in the West is not what it used to be. “Montana no longer means log cabins,” architect Jerry Locati says. “It’s about calling in the views and the environment.” And the wood, stone and glass house in Big Sky that Locati recently devised—with his associate Corey Kelly and interior designer Susie Hoffmann— for a young family does exactly that. “We wanted it to feel like Montana but didn’t want it to be rustic,” says Hoffmann. “My clients are just really fun and playful people. They wanted the interior more contemporary.” The clients, a couple with three children, were looking for a mountain retreat so they could spend time together and ski. When they discovered a lot for sale at the base of a slope, they jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. “We have friends who have places in Montana, and they insisted we see it,” the wife recalls. “Once we did, we were fish on a hook.” The family fell in love with the site and with the Montana landscape, too. “This place is different,” she adds. “It’s idyllic—the sky is bright blue and there are these incredible mountain vistas.” After the property was officially theirs, the couple commissioned Hoffmann, Locati and Kelly to design a home that would reflect the beauty of Montana—and comfortably accommodate relatives and friends. “It’s a seven-bedroom house, with three bedrooms on the upper level, another three on the lower level and a master suite on the main floor,” says Kelly, who arranged the rooms so that almost all have a view of Lone Peak. “That peak determined where we sited the house and where each of the rooms is placed,” Locati says. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide open and connect the dining room to an expansive terrace with a fire

pit and sitting area as well as to the landscape beyond. And in the great room, the architects incorporated a glass wall, giving the illusion that Lone Peak is part of the space. The Montana landscape found its way into the home’s materials palette too. The architects used Frontier stone and local wood for the exterior siding and for the beams, columns, fireplace surrounds and portions of the interior siding. “All of the wood we used is reclaimed,” Kelly says. “The grayish wood of the stairwell is old corral boards, and the timbers are from warehouses.” The architects countered the wood with glass for the stair treads and by designing glass floor panels in the entry and at the stairway that let light stream down to the home’s lower level. “Reclaimed wood is common here and lends a certain charm,” says general contractor Damon Rao. “But combining it with the structural floor glass and the contemporary stair created an integration of old and new that’s very special.” When it came to the furnishings, Hoffmann also brought the outdoors inside. “They love Big Sky so much and have this incredible outlook,” she says of the clients. “It reminded me of what we call ‘bluebird days’ here in Montana. It’s when there’s a clear blue sky after a snow storm and it’s the best day to be out on the mountain skiing. The sun is bright and everybody is so joyful and appreciative.” It’s a notion that informed Hoffmann’s color and texture choices. “I did some really pretty blues and a lot of fluffy white,” says the interior designer, who painted an entry wall blue and added a pair of low-slung chairs covered in Mongolian sheepskin. She hung artwork by Tracie Spence in white and pale gray that depicts Aspen tree trunks above a custom white-lacquered console and covered another wall with a beaded glass wallpaper. “The chandelier is by Terzani—it’s a collection of silvery metal discs that look like a sparkly winter cloud,” she says. In the kitchen, Hoffmann tiled the backsplash in brilliant blue and painted the massive island in another vibrant shade of blue. And in one of the bedrooms, the interior designer chose turquoise for the frames of the bunk beds and painted the staircase leading to the top with a dynamic turquoise ombré effect. Vivid pink hues also appear, for example, on the living room’s throw pillows and ottomans as well as on the dining room chairs. Luminous interiors and wonderful architecture notwithstanding, the majestic mountain surroundings are what make this home truly extraordinary. It’s a fact landscape architect Troy Scherer is well aware of. “I didn’t want to close off the experience of Lone Peak,” he says. “The rear yard is very simple so as not to obstruct views. We created a soft plane of grass for the kids and all the outdoor spaces orient toward the peak. We also left a wideopen connection to the ski run to provide seamless ski-in and ski-out convenience.” It all adds up to a spectacular retreat perfectly suited to the family. As Hoffmann puts it, “The best projects are when clients have ideas but are willing to let you be creative.”
For the living room of a Big Sky, Montana residence by interior designer Susie Hoffmann and architects Jerry Locati and Corey Kelly, Hoffmann selected Baxter sofas from Urbaine Home, a custom coffee table fabricated by Earth Elements, Bernhardt stools covered in a Maharam Kvadrat solid and a Tai Ping carpet. The A. Rudin barrel chairs are from Town; the David Alexander chandeliers are from Shanahan Collection—all were sourced in Denver. At the window is a Foscarini lamp.

Designer Neal Aronowitz works out of his Portland studio (opposite), creating seemingly weightless furnishings out of a surprising material—concrete canvas—which yields solid, yet ethereal forms (left).
P
ortland designer Neal Aronowitz is a happy—and excited—man. After spending most of his professional life running his own tile-and-stone installation business (while making furniture for friends, family and private commissions in his spare time), he took a chance. “I decided that I just couldn’t not do design work,” he explains. “I had to follow the dream and see what happened.” The moment to chase his dream arrived in 2014 when Aronowitz submitted an idea for a table to a design competition. He had seen a reference to a substance called concrete canvas on a blog and had been immediately fascinated. “I was especially intrigued by how the material could be draped over a roomsized balloon to create a shelter overnight,” he recalls. “It made me curious to explore. I like the paradox of a heavy material seeming to levitate.” He envisioned a curvaceous, self-supporting, ribbon-like coffee table—something that would appear to float even though it was made of concrete. It took months of experimentation to develop the techniques he would eventually use to mold the wet concrete canvas into the table’s sinuous shape. “I finished it the day before the show; I didn’t think I would make it,”
the designer remembers. The effort paid off: “The response was incredible,” he adds. The piece, now known as the Whorl table, became the first in a series of concrete tables and consoles, each one made by hand. “I am really interested in testing the limits of materials and mixing them in unusual ways,” Aronowitz says. “It’s so liberating to see what’s possible, to try for original forms.” To that end, his Enso table, inspired by Japanese calligraphy, combines polished aluminum and concrete canvas. “I wanted to capture dynamic movement in a static form,” he notes. “I realized very quickly
that concrete canvas wouldn’t support the design I had in mind. I thought of using steel, but it seemed too heavy, so I opted for polished aluminum.” (Despite the initial challenges with steel, Aronowitz still plans to use it for upcoming versions of the table.) Not surprisingly for a creative who admires renowned lighting designer Ingo Maurer—and counts architect Zaha Hadid, sculptor Constantin Brancusi, plus jazz and classical music among his many influences—Aronowitz has added lighting to his repertoire. His first foray (he now has four in his collection and another three in development), the Boro Boro chandelier, is made of hand-cut borosilicate tubes. “It gives off amazing light and shadows,” he reports. “It’s so dynamic.” Dynamic and exciting are words Aronowitz uses often, so it’s fitting that his dynamic practice is moving in some exciting directions. His work is garnering international attention, receiving awards in Germany and Great Britain; his pieces are being exhibited in galleries in Vancouver and Sag Harbor, New York; and he is in talks with galleries in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City. He also finds that collaborating with interior designers is a great fit for his bespoke, artisanal approach. While the handmade figures prominently in his process, Aronowitz is actually looking at using cutting-edge three-dimensional printing technology for his next lighting series in hopes of debuting it this May at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York. “I need excitement,” he says. “When I create a new piece, the last 5 percent is what I call the goose bump stage, where I can see that it’s going to work. That’s when I’ve captured the energy, the creative spark.” 260 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Aronowitz’s offerings include tables (left and bottom) and lighting that are entirely made by hand and can take upwards of 100 hours to finish, despite their deceptively simple appearance.

Architect David Coleman chose shou sugi ban siding from Delta Millworks in Austin, Texas, for the dramatic tower volume of a Seattle home. “I’ve never put burned siding on a house before,” says builder Mark Schilperoort of the wood. The minimalist materials palette also includes concrete and steel.
M
aybe next year.” That was a Seattle family’s refrain for seven years after moving into their 1950s ranch-style house overlooking Elliott Bay. Although the home cried out for a substantial makeover—to blow open the dark, low-ceilinged living spaces, bring in the light, and reveal the vistas of Mount Rainier—life, says the wife, kept getting in the way. The span of years did have an upside, though: By the time the couple took action, they knew exactly what they wanted, and so they turned to architect David Coleman and designer Elizabeth Stretch to realize the property’s potential. “We basically tore the house down to the first-floor deck and rebuilt from there up,” Coleman says. The only elements to survive were a front bedroom and the exterior sandstone cladding quarried in nearby Wilkeson. And after a 16-month renovation, what began as a “relatively ordinary house,” in Coleman’s words, is now extraordinary: a deceptively light structure of concrete, glass and steel centered around a tower of in blackened cedar known as shou sugi ban. (“It just has a life to it that is very rich,” Coleman says of the material.) As a final flourish, he covered the new façade in the reserved sandstone. “We loved that Wilkeson stone; it’s very special to the Northwest,” he notes. “I like when we have a chance to include some elements that were part of the original building. It lends a sense of timelessness to the design.” Coleman’s concept for the home incorporates many components that blur the lines between interior and exterior space. That central tower, for example, exists in part to provide huge, west-facing clerestory windows that flood the main level with afternoon light, while the rising sun flows
“WE BASICALLY TORE THE HOUSE DOWN TO THE FIRST-FLOOR DECK AND REBUILT FROM THERE UP.” –DAVID COLEMAN
in through 12-foot walls of glass on the other side. “Instead of being a dark house, now it’s very light,” he says, due in no small part to all that glazing—seemingly weightless yet held together by sturdy steel framing. “There were a lot of big, heavy pieces of steel that had to be mounted to get as much glass and as little structure as possible,” general contractor Mark Schilperoort says. Defying gravity is a motif that recurs again and again in the house, as Coleman played with the dichotomy of weighty materials that appear to have minimal support. They include a concrete bench that flows from the front porch into the foyer; a steel bench that emanates from one side of the living room fireplace; and, most dramatically, floating stairs that lead to a new second-floor study—which stretches outside to a cantilevered balcony. Coleman then designed a desk with a built-in sofa for the room so both could be oriented toward the water. “It really solved their spatial needs,” notes Stretch, adding that she covered the seating in felted wool to bring some texture to the glass tower. “It’s a material I’m drawn to in the Northwest. It’s warm, tactile and inviting,” she says. This cozy study in the sky has become a draw for the whole family. “It’s probably had the single biggest impact of anything that we did,” the wife says. “It’s connected to the house but apart.” Stretch’s other selections respond similarly to Coleman’s work. She centered the main living area on a deep burgundy rug and incorporated fuchsia upholstery. “It’s got this depth to it,” she says, yet it works with and balances the architect’s materials palette of blackened steel, white-oak flooring and pale-gray concrete. “It’s a color you can really imagine in nature,” she adds, though more in the realm of tropical gardens than Pacific shorelines. Outside, Stretch chose furnishings with a more understated presence. Because of the glass walls, she says, “the outdoor furniture is part of the landscape. I wanted it to recede so your focus was on the view beyond.” Landscape architect Bruce D. Hinckley and his associate, landscape designer Mario S. Laky, fashioned a different type of view in the front garden. When a plan to place seating in the middle of a water feature proved unworkable, the pair aimed for the next best thing. “We wanted to evoke the ambience of water,” Hinckley says, so they surrounded the patio with Algerian ivy that will grow into a “sea” upon which the patio will float. Then, they surrounded the space with yew hedges to create a private outdoor room. “It provided a more intimate family gathering space in this garden. There’s not the distant view as in the rear, but it’s nice to change scale,” he adds. Once “next year” finally arrived, and the team worked their magic on the house, it became a knockout that continues to dazzle its owners. “It absolutely thrills me every single day to wake up in that house,” the wife says. “It never gets old. I still stop and stare.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 265
In the living room, designer Elizabeth Stretch selected furnishings with a strong presence, such as the Paola Lenti rug and Walter Knoll sectional from Inform Interiors and the B&B Italia armchairs from Diva Group. The custom bench cushions were fabricated by Running Stitch Studio. Above is a Stickbulb fixture from YLighting.
