ON THE COVER: Designer John K. Anderson created the dining table in this San Francisco home with a patinated-steel base and an ash-wood top. The upholstered Beetle dining chairs were purchased at The Future Perfect and designed by GamFratesi for Gubi. The black side chairs are by Josef Hoffmann. The ivory-colored light fixture—by Jaime Hayón for Formakami—is a modern take on a traditional paper lantern. Page 256

EDITOR’S LETTER

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

MAKING WAVES

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

FORBES + MASTERS

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

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

COURTNEY MCLEOD ▲ BENJAMIN JOHNSTON

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

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

RADAR / NEW GUARD STEWART HORNER

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

GIN BRAVERMAN

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

▼ ALIZEE BRION

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

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

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

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

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

MIKEL WELCH

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

▲ HANNAH CROWELL

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

ALEXANDRA KAEHLER Chicago | alexandrakaehler.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Alexandra Kaehler, a former advertising exec-turned-lifestyle blogger-turned-interior designer, has an affinity for the details and old bones of a home. She adds her contemporary spin to projects by giving them a feminine face-lift.

▼ AIMEE WERTEPNY

Chicago | projectinteriors.com

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

LINDSAY CHAMBERS

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

JON DE LA CRUZ San Francisco | dlcid.com

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

VANESSA ALEXANDER

Los Angeles | alexanderdb.com

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

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

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

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

FLUID FORMS

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

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

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

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

An elongated table displays Frey’s latest collection of cups, serving pieces, Champagne buckets and jewelry. “Our intention is to become a destination where design lovers can shop our pieces in person while discovering an ever-evolving collection of unique works by talented makers,” Frey says.

the INSIDER From San Francisco and Silicon Valley to Wine Country and Los Angeles, Jay Jeffers has designed awe-inspiring homes all over California for nearly 20 years. Jeffers opened his first retail space in 2012, selling bespoke furniture and artisan decor, and has launched two home accessories collections with Arteriors. On the heels of his latest book, Be Bold: Bespoke Modern Interiors, plus a new line of door hardware in collaboration with Accurate Lock & Hardware coming this spring, we chat with Jeffers about where he finds inspiration, his local must-sees and more. jayjeffers.com What was the inspiration behind your book? Creative people are always evolving, and this book is an evolution of my own design style. I think I have always used bold elements in my work, but the commissions have changed. I also love the fact that the majority of these projects are for families with children; they’re about living with good design. If you design in a smart way, there are no sacrifices made.

“MONET: THE LATE YEARS” The master of Impressionism may be beloved for his water lily paintings (such as Water Lily Pond, shown below) but in “Monet: The Late Years”—on display February 16 through May 27 at the de Young Museum—the artist is redefined as an important contributor to early modernism. The exhibit is dedicated to the final phase of Monet’s career and traces the evolution of his work from 1913, when he began to reinvent his style into bolder abstractions. On display: more than 20 examples of his Water Lilies series, plus works from his later years, including a reconstruction of the Agapanthus triptych; The Artist’s House Seen from the Rose Garden, a reimagining of an earlier piece using gestural brushstrokes in red, green and yellow, shows how Monet’s work had transformed. deyoung.famsf.org

Local design and architecture must-sees: San Francisco’s City Hall is a stunner. I live a block away and never tire of looking at it. I even got married on the steps 10 years ago. The de Young Museum and the new SFMOMA are not to be missed. Crissy Field and the beach just below the Golden Gate Bridge are quintessential San Francisco.

INSIDE EDITION

LUXE ASKED FIVE OF THE REGION’S TOP DESIGN PROS TO SHARE WHO INSPIRES THEM AND THEIR FAVORITE LOCAL ARCHITECTURE.

“I like the work of Pedro Joseph de Lemos, an artisan and architect with an eye for craftsmanship and artistry. I was introduced to his work when I moved to Palo Alto from Chicago in the 1990s. His Spanish Colonial style captured my interest, as it’s an aesthetic that I hadn’t been exposed to in the first 20 years of my career.” –CATHARINE FERGUS GARBER, Fergus Garber Young Architects

“San Francisco is blessed with landmark structures and streetscapes of period architecture that establish the character of the city. Architect Ernest Coxhead’s home is a stunning example of the Bay Area’s Shingle style. I’m drawn to this style by early practitioners, as their work tapped into the diverse cultural and academic zeitgeist of its time and place.” –DAVID ARMOUR, David Armour Architecture

“I’m inspired by Palladio’s idealism, Frank Lloyd Wright’s creativity within geometric rigor, and Lutyens’ prolific genius. Architects working in the cities of Italy and France during the Renaissance and Baroque periods developed masterful techniques to create the illusion of perfect form, in spite of a site’s constraints.” –EILEEN GORDON, Gordon+Greineder Architects

“There is a home on Scott Street in San Francisco— designed by acclaimed architect Joseph Esherick back in 1962—that has been identified as a historic resource by the City of San Francisco. It’s an outstanding example of midcentury-modern architecture, and it has such a pure and timeless quality that is still highly relevant today.”

“I love the symbolism used throughout The Cathedral of Christ the Light in downtown Oakland, from the Christian fish shape of the plan to the structure recalling the hull of a boat. This deeper meaning, combined with contemporary materials and a play of light and volume, inspires me to seek design solutions that can challenge people to think about their environment.”

–ERIC DUMICAN, Dumican Mosey Architects

–JEFF GOODWIN, BAR Architects

OPEN HOUSE Rough Linen founder Tricia Rose first saw potential for a showroom when she expanded her San Rafael office and work space. “We are an online store and wanted a place where people could come in and see firsthand, in a convivial setting, what we make,” she says. So she brought on stylist Kendra Smoot, who is known for her minimalist yet warm and casual sensibility, to design the light-filled 840-square-foot space. Smoot created beautiful vignettes of each room in the house for which Rough Linen offers product—from the kitchen and dining room to the living room, bedroom and bathroom. A hutch is stocked with napkins, tablecloths and runners; table settings are changed out regularly; and visitors can even crawl into the display bed to test out the brand’s linen sheets and duvets. “We believe in transparency and having everyone experience Rough Linen in a natural setting,” says Rose. “This is the place where that happens.” The showroom is open by appointment and hosts regular events, workshops and sales throughout the year. roughlinen.com 096 / LUXESOURCE.COM

▲ PARK JAMES HOTEL

PARK JAMES HOTEL PHOTO: DAVID LIVINGSTON. HOTEL SPERO PHOTO: COURTESY HOTEL SPERO. HARMON GUEST HOUSE PHOTO: COURTESY HARMON GUEST HOUSE.

California craft meets high tech at this new 61-room boutique hotel in Silicon Valley. With nods to Menlo Park’s Irish heritage—including Irish wool blankets in the courtyard, a Connemara marble bar at on-site restaurant Oak + Violet and an Irish whiskey collection in the cocktail lounge—it’s been designed to attract everyone from posh locals to international business travelers. Hand-hewn touches from Parisa O’Connell Interior Design abound throughout, from a gold-studded wall and a custom cowhide wall by Kyle Bunting to white-oak flooring, along with saddle-brown leather seating inspired by the area’s equestrian community. Custom furniture in the guest rooms is designed to make visitors feel as though they’ve been invited into someone’s home, while amenities such as Frette linens, in-room pour-over coffee from the best local purveyors, and in-room tablets treat guests to casual luxuries. parkjames.com

▲ HARMON GUEST HOUSE Healdsburg adds to its eco-chic standing with the recent opening of Harmon Guest House, sister property to Hotel Healdsburg and h2hotel. Named after Healdsburg founder Harmon Heald, the 39-room boutique property honors its namesake urban planner with thoughtfully designed communal spaces perfect for gathering. From the lobby lounge—with Herman Miller stools, Carl Hansen chairs and a conversation-worthy art installation by Sabine Reckewell—to interior gardens by landscape architect Andrea Cochran, the hotel encourages guests to linger. Designed by San Francisco’s David Baker Architects, each room boasts a balcony or patio, plus iconic pieces such as Gubi Beetle chairs, Saarinen Tulip tables and Eames molded plywood loungers. Home to the city’s only publicly accessible rooftop bar, the indoor-outdoor space features views of the city skyline and Fitch Mountain. harmonguesthouse.com

098 / LUXESOURCE.COM

▲ HOTEL SPERO Blending history with modernity, every detail of Hotel Spero’s renovation embodies the spirit of San Francisco, both past and present. The lobby’s historic Spanish Colonial-style features—ceiling beams, decorative grillage and original marble floors—have been preserved, while communal tables, cozy reading nooks and an in-room aromatherapy program cater to the modern-day needs of guests. Rooms also nod subtly to the Spanish Colonial style, with carved credenzas, custom Tangram-inspired headboards and a rich color palette. Doors are adorned with swans or bulls, a reference to early Romantic-era paintings. Large-scale art in the lobby and works in the guest rooms were created by Sausalito artist Julie Coyle, and a glass-printed portrait behind the reception desk pays tribute to former owner Lizzie Glide. hotelspero.com

LEADING LADY

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

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

There are few spaces in a home more intimate than a luxurious bathroom— it’s where we pamper ourselves; it’s where we begin and end our days; it’s a haven for relaxation. Designers are exploring new schemes and kicking the design of this space into high gear with lush colors, plush textures and deluxe finishes. They’re also thinking outside the typical white marble box with stylish elements like graphic tile, glamorous lighting and architectural fittings for an allencompassing effect. Whether it be an elegant master bath with ladylike details or a jewel box powder room featuring statement-making wallcoverings, bold bathrooms are back. As designer Denise McGaha explains, “Don’t you want a bathroom that feels out of the ordinary, that no one else has?” So, grab your bubble bath and dive into these spectacular spaces. 164 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ON POINT DENISE MCGAHA

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

Can you talk about your approach to pattern and color? The black-and-white Silestone countertops are very sophisticated and we continued the palette with my Design Legacy fabric on the Roman shade that aligns perfectly with the wallpaper on the ceiling. This treatment allows for a really expansive room. I also wanted a bit of color, so I added the blush pink on the cabinetry. Share your top tip for designing a bathroom. Don’t overlook the items you’re going to touch every day, like a handheld shower head, sink faucet or drawer pull. Make sure those elements are not a second thought but rather the first thing you consider. 166 / LUXESOURCE.COM

PORTRAIT AND VIGNETTE PHOTO: STEPHEN KARLISCH.

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

CLEAN SLATE

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

THIS PAGE: BALANCING ACT: REBECCA MCALPIN. CLEAN SLATE: JOE SCHMELZER. OPPOSITE: ALL IN THE MIX PHOTOS: EBB AND FLOW, BRANTLEY PHOTOGRAPHY. WARM WELCOME, NICK JOHNSON. TO THE TOUCH, AARON LEITZ.

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

ALL IN THE MIX

EBB AND FLOW

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

WARM WELCOME

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

TO THE TOUCH

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

artful LIVING

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

Give it room: If there is a major piece of art, it is important to let it breathe without creating claustrophobia by surrounding it with multiple pieces of furniture.

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

JANET BROOKS

BELLA MANCINI

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A BOLD ENTRY

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

9 MOMENT

FLASHBACK

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

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

10 PATTERN PLAY

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

TO DETAIL

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

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

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

BARBARA GLASS MULLEN With furnishings, how do you incorporate color? Lamp shades in patterns and colors—they make a bedroom feel eclectic and interesting. You can create custom shades for any lamp using your choice fabric. barbaraglassinc.com

GARY WISS

JORGE CASTILLO

NICOLE FULLER

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

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

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

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE

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

INSIDE OUT

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

MAKING an ENTRANCE

ENTERTAINING EQUILIBRIUM

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

In HARMONY

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

outdoor

INFLUENCE

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

18 NATURE NOD TO

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Emphasize natural light. The two-story home has expansive windows, and we joined the dining and kitchen area to a large terrace with sliding glass pocket doors. The effect is of a disappearing corner that leaves no boundary between the interior and exterior.

TROPICAL

PUNCH

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

STAIR MASTER

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

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

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

ELEMENTAL

MOMENTS PERFECT MIX The penthouse in this prewar-style Manhattan building overlooking Central Park had everything but great bones, so builder Mark Dobbin started by breaking apart the existing architecture. He installed new doors, windows and steel structures to create an openconcept space. A mix of oak, chestnut, teak and olive woods, selected for their beautiful grains, help warm the space, while Kelly Wearstler fabricupholstered chairs and hand-dyed Fromental wallpaper add bold pops of color. highlinecg.com

▼ PASSING THROUGH More Colonial Williamsburg than Northern California, this Georgian-style beauty was brought lovingly back to life for the Atherton homeowners. The long, windowed breezeway—constructed by builder Ed Faubel to join the house with a new garage—was designed to resemble a carriage house and connects the gardens in the front and back of the house. faubelconstruction.com

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

▲ HEAVY METAL “The starkness of drywall is a thing of the past,” says general contractor Tom Fisher, who helped bring to life the powder room of this Arizona home. The walls, mostly steel cladding and wood veneers, create a textural backdrop for the copper-andlive-edge walnut counter built by Ramsey Brothers and envisioned by interior designer Anita Lang. fishercustomhomes.com

AGING gracefully

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

Consider the location. We loved the opportunity to use thick cedar boards on both the interior and exterior. Cedar is very durable and turns such a lovely gray as it patinas. It’s perfect for the coast.

Remember to show and tell. It’s helpful to have samples of materials for clients to touch, so they can experience the depth of finishes or fabrics firsthand. We create sample boards with palettes that reflect different design directions.

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

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

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

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

WIT & whimsy When presented with a bare sage-green garden gazebo covered in mature tea-rose vines at this Oakland property, designer April Powers was delighted at the opportunity to transform the sparse structure into a plush and playful outdoor gathering space. The clients’ fondness for Moorish decorative elements inspired her use of cushions and throw pillows in Moroccan-style patterns and colors on the custom-built banquette as well as a teak coffee table.

In keeping with this Texas homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmhouse feel, architect Michael Imber came up with the idea for a modern pool barn with sliding steel doors to create a visual enclosure for the yard. The airy pavilion is flanked by pergolas on either side, which provide transparency and lightness, plus a little bit of shade from the hot Texas sun. Stone, similar to what was used on the rest of the house, clads the pergola columns and fireplace, tying them in visually to the rest of the residence.

He kept a few existing Sabal palms for their height and uniqueness and added Alexander palms for a sense of privacy. Bougainvillea brings a pop of color. nieverawilliams.com

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

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

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

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

PHIL STEINHAUER

ORLANDO COMAS

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

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

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

How does the setting influence your design? We always study our existing, built and surrounding environments so we can cohesively merge the landscape with the existing scenery and architecture. Some of the most important elements are sight lines, sun exposure, shade, drainage, views and circulation. Tenets of a successful remodel: Creativity, durability and function.

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

OUR 2019 GOLD LIST: CREATORS OF THE INSPIRATIONAL HOMES

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

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

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

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

–MICHAEL ABRAMS, CHICAGO

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

–SARA MCCANN, WEST PALM BEACH

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MARK KELLEY Mark Kelley Construction Post Office Box 620546 Woodside, California 94062 650.269.5914 markkelleyco@sbcglobal.net kelleycustomhomes.com For Mark Kelley, principal of Mark Kelley Construction, a strong work ethic is the primary ingredient for success. “I started working at age 14, working 60 hours a week at $1.45 per hour,” he says. Throughout those formative years and beyond, Kelley enjoyed building, starting out as an apprentice carpenter turned journeyman and obtaining his general contractor license in 1979. “I built my first house as a GC in 1979 and have not looked back,” he says. Over the past 39 years, Kelley has embraced every architectural style of home—something his vast and varied portfolio attests to, including several California contemporary homes: one in Woodside that involved substantial structural engineering; another in Portola Valley that required an intense, massive excavation and re-compaction of a hillside; and a classic Atherton estate that captured the look and feel of Morocco using tiles and finishes procured from Morocco and the Middle East. “I have enjoyed building homes for many wonderful people,” he says, “and have been blessed with the support of my excellent subcontractors and office team that share my dream.”

Working with the top-tier architects and designers has allowed me to work with some incredibly inspiring design elements.

If I weren’t in this industry, I’d be a … Bush pilot, naval aviator or an astronaut. Can you share some quick favorites (e.g. season, vacation spot, accessory, book, food, band)? I love all the seasons. For vacationing, it’s either the Hawaiian Islands or the Cayman Islands. A book would be The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Food? Well, I love all food, including international street food. And music would mostly be the Beatles or Boz Scaggs, but I also enjoy Strauss. Dream creative project? I just finished building a green house for my wife using 100-percent reclaimed doors, windows, siding, beams and more. A project is complete when … The project becomes a home. Favorite store to shop? Where is it, and why is it your favorite? Nothing design-oriented. Cabela’s sporting goods in Reno, Nevada, and I don’t even hunt or fish … go figure.

1. This concrete house, located at 348 Raymundo in Woodside, involved substantial structural engineering. “It was such a unique, different project,” Kelley says. 2. Mark Kelley strikes a pose outside of a recently completed project in Woodside. 2. Photography by Christopher Stark

What’s the key to work/life balance? Love what you do and stay active with new hobbies and exercise. Good health is paramount.

SURPRISE TACTIC AN OLD HOMEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STUMBLING BLOCK RESULTS IN A NEW MARIN COUNTY RESIDENCE. WRITTEN BY JORGE S. ARANGO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AUBRIE PICK / STYLING BY YEDDA MORRISON

LUXESOURCE.COM / 229

fter spending a number of years in London, homeowner and designer Wendy Huck and her family returned to California and purchased an older house on a large, oakstudded property with the European idea of preserving the classic façade and creating a contemporary interior. Huck turned to architect Barbara Chambers to update the residence, but while studying the property, Chambers discovered a foundation composed of brick. In Northern California, this represents, quite literally, a number of stumbling blocks. “We’re in earthquake country, so an unstable masonry foundation is a big problem,” says Chambers. “Replacing it on top of remodeling the house would have cost as much as tearing down the building and constructing a new structure.”

Despite their initial shock, the Huck clan regrouped and readjusted their thinking. Together with Chambers, they decided to demolish the old house and start anew. The plan came with a fresh sense of liberation. “We realized we had complete freedom,” Huck says, noting that a blank slate opened a number of stylistic doors. “The city wouldn’t let us build a glass cube, nor would we do that in this neighborhood because it’s just not the right fit. But we could build almost anything that we wanted to from the ground up.” Chambers helped define, shape and narrow that vision. “Our work is always based on classical principals. I envisioned an archetypal home with clapboard, something a bit East Coast in style,” she says. “But for this house, we modified traditional elements to bring them up to date.

Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs from Danish Design Store surround a marble-topped Concorde table by Poliform in the dining area. The credenza is by Croft House and mirrors the black cabinetry of the bar, which was fabricated by Leonardo’s Casework & Design. Light from the south-facing backyard floods the space through Loewen windows sourced at Glass Concepts.

We did things like orient the home to the south to maximize natural light while creating larger windows to let the sun in. The floor plan is open, but also maintains some separation in formal areas.” For Huck, this was an important point, as she favors the time-honored idea of a formal living room and dining room. Plus, more wall space meant more room for a growing art collection. Interior details also took on a tradition-with-a-twist nature. “In a truly modern house, you wouldn’t have any baseboard or trims, and no recessed panels on walls and doors,” says Chambers. “In this house, we have all of these elements. But, while the proportions are classical, the profiles are simplified and cleaner.” The color palette— white with black accents—is a classic combination that runs throughout the house. To keep the white walls from feeling too stark and to add an organic texture, the architect chose wide-plank oak floors that are fumed, wire-brushed and treated with a light oil finish. Huck chose a less-is-more approach when it came to furnishings, fixtures and colors. “The architectural details are so beautiful,” she says. “I didn’t want to cover them up or detract from them with a lot of color and pattern.” Gravitating toward a streamlined look, the designer

In the breakfast nook, a Gubi pendant dangles above an RH table made with reclaimed wood. Opposite the custom window seat is a pair of Charles and Ray Eames molded plastic chairs from Design Within Reach, which provide a classic modern counterpoint to the rusticity of the table. The painting is by Joseph Adolphe from Simon Breitbard Fine Arts.

selected several iconic modernist pieces, such as Hans Wegner Wishbone dining chairs and Eames molded plastic chairs with metal bases in the breakfast nook. With a deft hand, she combined these with contemporary silhouettes such as sleek sofas and midcentury modern-inspired armchairs in the living room. Huck and Chambers agreed that the new home should focus on natural light. “None of the main spaces faced the grand yard on the south side of the house,” Chambers says. “To access the outdoor space, you had to go around the side of the house and down some crooked paths.” Now, French doors line that side of the new home, providing direct access and a healthy dose of California sunshine. Through this amplified fenestration, you can see the work of landscape architect Michael B. Yandle, who

started with what was there. “We began by reimagining the entire property, from the entry to the back,” he says. “There were some wonderful existing heritage trees, so the goal was to make it look like the house and property were built around those trees. The hallmark of my work is to create projects that look like they’ve always been there.” The garden design is simple and clean, making use of repetition of plant materials and trees. This lends a cohesive sense of calm and beauty throughout the property, from the arrival court to the rear terrace and great lawn in the back. In the end, the design team turned a problem brick foundation into a positive. Although it wasn’t what the homeowners initially expected, they ended up in the house of their dreams—creating a pleasant surprise after all.

A modern kitchen is outfitted with a classic black-and-white color palette. The cabinets were crafted by Leonardo’s Casework & Design. The sink is by Franke, and the faucet is by Dornbracht. Appliances include a Gaggenau cooktop and refrigerators, a Bosch dishwasher and a Wolf oven. A series of Flask pendants by Tom Dixon hang over the kitchen island and a row of Tractor barstools by Bassam Fellows from Design Within Reach are at its side.

FUTURE PERFECT IN MENLO PARK, A COUPLE BUILDS A NEW HOME FOR THE FRESH START THEY ENVISION. WRITTEN BY LEILANI MARIE LABONG / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW MILLMAN

ARCHITECTURE / WILLIAM DUFF, WDA INTERIOR DESIGN / ROBBIE MCMILLAN, AUBREY MAXWELL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE / RICHARD RADFORD, THE GARDEN ROUTE COMPANY

Designed by San Francisco architect William Duff, this new Menlo Park home is anchored by a central courtyard, a nostalgic detail borrowed from the wife’s ancestral home in India. The feature also gives the architecture plenty of light and fresh air. The Dellarobbia sectional sits in front of a coffee table by Buka Design + Hardwoods.

hen a pair of technology executives started thinking about their Menlo Park dream home, they engaged in the kind of futuristic thinking that’s made Silicon Valley famous. They imagined a dwelling not for the family they had at the time—husband, wife and dog—but for the one they were dreaming of. “We didn’t actually have any children yet—other than our chocolate lab, who is our first baby,” says the wife. “What we did have was an aspirational vision for the life that we hoped to create together over the years.” Architecturally speaking, that outlook was foremost kid-friendly with a lot of open space to play, yet sophisticated (elegant lines, beautiful materials and a reverence for natural light), and a strong and seamless indoor-outdoor experience, as they both love nature and the near-perfect weather Menlo Park offers. Architect William Duff joined the couple for many backyard discussions, trying to figure out if it was possible to do their future life justice by merely reconfiguring their longtime home, which he describes as an “unremarkable” 1950s tract house. “Taking into consideration their wish list, we decided it would be best not to ‘Frankenstein’ the home by simply grafting new stuff onto it,” says Duff. All agreed it was better to tear down the old home and start from scratch. Of the designs for the new house drafted by Duff and his team, architects Jim Westover and Michelle Liu, it was a three-level dwelling with a distinctive butterfly roof—a Le Corbusier hallmark of postwar American residential architecture—that resonated most with the homeowners. “That asymmetrical wing span is a very compelling way to give the home distinction, expression and energy,” says Duff. But the design’s sentimental high note is the courtyard— an exalted version of the one found in the wife’s ancestral home in India, which also featured a solitary tree. “We both have immigrant backgrounds—my husband was born and raised in Ireland—and we wanted our home to integrate elements from our cultural heritages,” says the wife.

The husband and wife often entertain dinner guests in the formal living room, where everyone relaxes with a glass of wine on the low-profile Andy sofa by B&B Italia. When it’s time to gather around the dining table—a custom piece by Heerenhuis Manufactuur crafted with a Belgian bluestone top and teak base—guests take their seats in vintage Danish midcentury chairs. The staircase, a showpiece behind acoustic glass, makes for a dramatic backdrop.

When the accordion glass walls enclosing the rooms flanking the central outdoor space—living room on one side, family room on the other—are folded away, the area becomes the heart of the home. “The landscape was designed to create a seamless transition from the indoors to the outdoor living spaces,” says landscape architect Richard Radford. “We blurred the lines between the two, and expanded the home’s living area into the garden environment.” On sunshine-drenched days, the family— who, by the time the house was completed, had added two children—moves effortlessly through this indooroutdoor expanse, with ipe decking that’s nearly flush with the white-oak planks inside to make a smooth surface for tricycle wheels and small bare feet. At dusk, this area is particularly magical, thanks to Duff’s minimalist approach to illumination. A few strategically placed up-lights and recessed lighting are designed to let the pretty twilight take precedence over high wattage man-made lights.

“I didn’t want anything distracting you from feeling the openness and cleanliness of the space,” says the architect. When it came to the interiors, designer Robbie McMillan took a “less-is-more” strategy. “That meant incorporating fewer pieces of furniture, which are larger in scale, to anchor the rooms, as well as working with a range of textures and materials to provide an organic warmth and softness to each space,” he says. The concept is illustrated in the family room, where a low-backed sectional with strong lines and a chunky-wood coffee table are able to hold their own in the high-ceilinged space. “The rooms demand furniture groupings with clean lines and a sense of weight and volume to define themselves,” McMillan says. The designer opted for low seating to accommodate clear views to the backyard. Dinner parties usually start in the living room, next to the fireplace that’s clad in lava stone slabs that jut out at different lengths and angles, both for textural interest

The living room, with its lava-stone hearth, Imari rug by RH, vintage coffee table and Capo lounge chair by Neri & Hu for De La Espada, becomes one with the outdoor rooms thanks to folding glass doors by Southland Windows & Doors. On the deck, a conversation area is composed with RH seating surrounding a Santa Barbara fire pit. A landscape of drought tolerant plants was designed by landscape architect Richard Radford.

Et laborem ulpa verro venit, quaspero tem hic tem num exceped quis ex everspel illandanita que consecumquam ellab imus elique nonecte mpossunt experferum ere vent faciis si vit amenimus as etur recullandam eaqui beatur, comnim voluptatur accus et, to mossum

“Kitchens in modern homes are always a challenge because everything is so open, which means there is potential for a lot of clutter,” says Duff. To keep the look as clean as possible, the appliances are hidden behind cabinets designed by the architect; the island features a marble top from Pietra Fina. Overhead is a Gala light fixture by Rich Brilliant Willing.

(a counterpoint to the smooth floors and low, sleek profiles of the furniture) and visual drama (the shadows created when light washes on the surface of the hearth give the room’s otherwise quiet demeanor more expression). Since the formal dining room is adjacent, it’s just a few steps to the table, where guests have the choice of enjoying two compelling perspectives: Facing the naturalistic landscape of the drought-tolerant plantings by Radford or the modernist glass-and-metal staircase. “The staircase is a very sculptural—and at times kinetic—element that connects the spaces in the house,” says Duff. “You really see the stairs come to life when people are moving up and down them. You get a very pleasant, homey feeling when you see the house in motion, so to speak.” It’s an easy thing to witness here, given the relaxed flow from one area to another. While natural materials take the edge off this modern floor plan, it’s the movement within the home that gives it true warmth. As the wife puts it, “Living out the story we imagined for our family and our life has been the home’s greatest gift to us.”

Right: Inspired by the bathroom in their Seychelles honeymoon suite, the master bath is a refined retreat for two that seems to be suspended in the tree canopy. Not unlike other parts of the house, the elegant trappings of the space, from the limestone-topped vanity to a matte-white freestanding soaking tub by MTI Baths, are meant to keep nature as the center of attention. Opposite: A soothing neutral palette, sculptural furnishings and textural materials add richness to the master bedroom. A chunky, braided-wool rug by RH brings warmth and coziness to the space, while the modular Agnes chandelier by Lindsey Adelman is an angular counterpoint. A feeling of centeredness is underscored by the low-slung Capo armchairs by Neri & Hu for De La Espada, which feature wide-set walnut bases.

The homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literal crowning glory is its signature butterfly roof, whose sloped and asymmetrical wings not only provide vaulted ceilings for the bedrooms directly beneath it, but also emphasize the horizontal nature of the other parts of the house, such as the living room and family room, which jut out from the main house to frame the courtyard. The custom, galvanizedsteel brise soleil dissipates harsh sunlight before it enters the house.

AT ONE WITH HER MEDIUM, A SAN FRANCISCO CERAMICIST PUSHES THE POSSIBILITIES OF CLAYâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;AND HERSELF. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEN SISKA

LUXESOURCE.COM / 253

“I AM INTERESTED IN MAKING INNOVATIVE WORK. STICKING TO SOMETHING THAT’S TRADITIONAL JUST ISN’T FOR ME.”

nastasia Tumanova considers herself to be clay. That realization came to the artist a decade ago in a tiny Illinois studio where she was pouring herself physically, emotionally and philosophically into her ceramics. “I’m shaping myself,” she recalls thinking. “Everything I create, I’m growing and finding myself as a human. I am like this clay.” A decade later, that epiphany has become the moniker for her San Francisco-based practice, We Are Clay. While her chosen material is steeped in tradition, Tumanova’s approach to it is anything but. “I’m interested in making innovative work,” she explains. “Sticking to something that’s traditional just isn’t for me.” Take her porcelain wall murals: They are the natural outgrowth of a 2017 photo series she made using fresh leaves and flowers. The images Tumanova captured in photos prompted her to create murals using eucalyptus leaves, which in turn inspired large-scale works using porcelain versions of the plant material. “There’s a momentum that happens when you start to create, and you want to keep that forward movement,” she shares. “Switching between mediums is my way of keeping things going.” Tumanova’s process is organic. “I imagine the murals in my head for weeks and months—how they will look and feel, and how they will be experienced,” she says. She begins the creation of a piece by rolling out slabs of porcelain. (“It fires to a lovely white color,” says Tumanova of the material. “I love the purity and simplicity of it.”) Then, she cuts the shapes she’s envisioned freehand. “I’ve drawn these forms so many times, it’s just memory,” she says. “If there’s something with discomfort, I will draw it in a sketchbook until I feel comfortable.” Once the shapes are cut, the artist sandwiches them between sheets of plywood to flatten them as they dry

and then fires them. The entire process can take weeks, and is always shadowed by the inherently fickle nature of the medium. “Everything can go wrong,” she points out. “It gives you a thick skin and you get used to failure.” Of late, the artist is investigating the intersection of ceramics and painting. Her new collection debuts at Rare Device in San Francisco in January, featuring a series of porcelain plates done in ultramarine blue, inspired by Russian folk art (Tumanova herself is Russian by birth.) Some will have botanical illustrations, while others will feature portraits of women, the latter a subject Tumanova has returned to time and again. Themes of women and their empowerment fits with Tumanova’s goal of changing the perception of ceramics. “Ceramics have been relegated to a low art especially in Western culture,” she observes. Through her work, the artist seeks to elevate and transform the material into a fine art, just as she and other women are reclaiming roles for themselves. “My art practice is a journey of self-empowerment through clay—I’m empowering clay and myself,” she says. “And I hope I’m empowering other women as well.”

Inspired by her work with real leaves, Tumanova creates porcelain versions that she arranges in patterns (top, left). Eventually, those organic shapes made their way onto her ceramic work (top, right).

Character STUDY THE HISTORY OF AN EDWARDIAN HOME SPARKS AN INSPIRED REDESIGN IN PACIFIC HEIGHTS. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER SERGENT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON LEITZ

LUXESOURCE.COM / 257

t’s hard to put a definitive label on the chic transformation of a 1910 Edwardian home in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, though it is clear that the home’s original architecture asserts itself as a frame for the new and eclectic combination of color and genres that lie within. “The thread here is creating something that didn’t feel brand new or imposed,” says designer John K. Anderson. “It was all about letting the character of the house come through.” The homeowners, parents of two teenage boys, asked Anderson and architect Emily Huang to preserve the home’s most interesting traits, yet revitalize it for comfort and practicality. “I want every room to be used every day,” the wife recalls saying to Anderson. A self-described “magpie,” she also wanted the designer to incorporate her wide range

of vintage and antique furnishings, as well as an assortment of artwork and modern wallpaper she’d already hung in the dining room. “She was our muse for the whole project,” Anderson says, noting that he sought to weave the family’s existing items within a coherent whole. The first phase of the three-year endeavor took place where it was most needed—on the top floor where the boys’ turreted bedrooms flanked a dark common area with sharply sloping walls. Huang flooded light into the central space with new dormer windows and a skylight, while Anderson added crisp white paneling and built-ins to set a breezy tone. A huge Oriental rug channels the home’s patina. “The rooms became a mix of things that have age and history with some newer elements,” Anderson says, “with nothing being precious or unapproachable.”

Opposite: Designer John K. Anderson chose a pair of swivel chairs by A. Rudin in pale-blue Claremont fabric to highlight the colors of the artwork in this Pacific Heights living room. The custom sisal rug by Stark unifies the space, where the designer also incorporated his clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Neoclassical gilded mirror, antique chest and round accent table. Below: A Giacometti-style plaster chandelier by Paul Ferrante crowns the living room, where Anderson arranged two custom sofas by A. Rudin around the clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vintage French coffee table and Kilim rug. Anderson amplified the light by dressing the windows in embroidered white sheers by Raoul Textiles.

Anderson lacquered the wife’s office in Babouche by Farrow & Ball as a backdrop for pink linen draperies by Pindler and a hemp rug by Mark Nelson Designs. The armchair by A. Rudin is covered in a Claremont linen. “We often like to contrast opposing textures and surface sheens for a more dynamic dialog between elements,” Anderson says.

A skylight and dormer windows add muchneeded light and space to the common area between the boys’ bedrooms. The millwork and built-ins by Narrowback Construction follow the room’s original architecture. The rug is an antique; the clients’ armchair and ottoman are upholstered in a light-blue Calder fabric by Holland & Sherry; the window seat is covered in a Perennials denim; and Jasper Morrison cork stools flank the clients’ Blu Dot coffee table.

The master suite’s walls are upholstered in a Holland & Sherry floral-print cotton, which complements a custom headboard upholstered in Casamance mohair fabric. Anderson paired traditional brass reading lights by Soane Britain with modern fixtures such as the bedside pendant by Workstead. The bed is flanked by 1970s Scene nightstands by Henredon crafted with olive burl wood.

The design team continued to play to what the house has to offer. “The inspiration, more or less, is a Londonstyle house. In Pacific Heights, you get a similar feel as the residential areas in London,” Huang says. But rather than exercising the American tendency to gut an old house and start over, she followed an additive approach that’s more common in Britain. She says, “It’s important not to get stuck on any particular style, and let the existing conditions add to the character of the place.” Anderson went on to blend many eras of the interior design with the home’s old bones, unified by a palette of the wife’s favorite dusty pinks and corals, pale blues and bright yellows. “There are shades of those colors throughout the house—but nothing too bright or too primary,” he says. In the master suite, Anderson upholstered the walls with a hand-painted fabric whose sweet pattern would have fit comfortably in an early 20th-century setting. “When I first saw it installed, I gasped—it so exceeded my expectations

of how it was going to look and feel,” he says. “There’s this lightness and softness that it added, and a scale that’s not overwhelming.” Against that backdrop, he added his client’s modern artwork over a Deco-style custom headboard flanked by a pair of 1970s vintage burl wood nightstands— an arrangement that’s pleasing in its contrast. Similar counterpoints are at play in the dining room with an existing wallpaper that resembles a modern cross-stich pattern. For this room, Anderson designed a sturdy oak table on a slim steel base to rest atop an antique rug; he then paired sculptural velvet host chairs with disarmingly casual, caned side seating “I love the cane-back chairs,” he says. “They are a little bit simple and a little bit humble.” The mix, he says, “creates a relaxed, easygoing space for daily dining, children’s homework, games and weekend projects.” Because the family spends so much time here, it was important to improve the view outside the tall windows, which overlook a sidewalk leading to the

The Holland & Sherry fabric also covers the back of several built-in shelves and glass-fronted cabinets. A cozy windowseat with a cushion and pillows done in fabrics by Claremont and Soane Britain makes a pretty place to perch. The small, two-toned Float table is by Pinch from The Future Perfect, offering a landing spot for a cup of coffee or tea. The rug is by Mark Nelson Designs and the sconce is by Allied Maker.

Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light lends an ethereal quality to one of the boys’ bedrooms—a converted sunroom—while a Delta II pedant light by Rich Brilliant Willing through YLighting emphasizes the room’s height. The patterned blue carpet by Stark complements the Roman shades in blue and yellow linen by Raoul Textiles through De Sousa Hughes.

backyard. Landscape architect Katharine Webster topped the new cedar fence along that sidewalk with planters containing flowers and foliage. “We really wanted to create this connection back to nature,” Webster says. “The wife didn’t want it to look like an old-fashioned home. She wanted it to feel fresh.” Other fresh takes on history include the millwork—with builder Mike Kennedy replicating the existing patterns across new elements—and the layout. While Huang kept most of the original layout intact, she expanded the third level to make way for the new master suite, noting: “We tried to be as respectful as possible, but making the house new and adaptable to current life is a really great thing to do.” When it came time to furnish the living room, Anderson selected new streamlined furniture to anchor the owners’

vintage pieces and modern art. He covered a pair of swivel chairs in the clients’ favorite pale-blue shade, for example, and used linen-covered sofas to frame their vintage rug, making its colorful Moroccan pattern a focal point. An antique chest gets new pride of place underneath a largescale photograph, while a sculptural black accent table that once blended in with busy upholstery gets fresh attention between the light-colored swivel chairs. “Using the stuff that’s important to us and that we could keep makes a big difference in how the house feels,” the wife says. And that’s the point of the project, according to Anderson. “The dialogue between old and new is what makes any home or any space sing,” he says. “There’s nothing more boring than a home that’s all one note or all one style.”

The boys’ new bathroom gains character with antique reclaimed cement-tile flooring from Exquisite Surfaces. Mirrors by Serena & Lily top a custom walnut vanity by Go Build Studio with a Carraramarble counter from Integrated Resources Group. The sconces are by Schoolhouse Electric and the Haley sink fittings are by Watermark.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this room is my favorite place in the house,â&#x20AC;? the wife says of the master bath. The crackle-glazed shower and wainscot tile are by Fireclay, which was trimmed in brass by Tony Parker of Crown Works Metal. The shower fittings are by Waterworks, and the Calacatta Oro floor tile is from Integrated Resources Group.

The master bathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marble elements and parquet flooring connect the space to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edwardian origins, Anderson says. The custom mahogany cabinet with brass legs and hardware was fabricated by Go Build Studio, the Henry faucets are by Waterworks and the fanciful bamboo pendant light is by Global Lighting.

BAUHAUS BOLD WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATHRYN GIVEN

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