the white book Welcome to The White Book Volume 17. Through the series of beautiful homes we have assembled for this edition, we celebrate a passage of time which spans over half a century. Time – in buildings just as in people, brings with it a bag of mixed blessings – the golden patina of age and tradition on the one hand, but also a few signs of wear and tear and perhaps a little yearning for what used to be. We can all use a little updating every now and again to give us a new lease of life – but if only we could achieve for our bodies the kind of transformation which the owners and designers in this issue have created at their period properties!

Our time travel originates in the Elizabethan era, where a listed 16th century manor house has been radically transformed by the designer Pippa Paton into a free-flowing contemporary styled home. Georgian and Victorian houses in London also reveal modern interiors – the North London home of designer Shalini Misra is a stunning melange of global cultural influences and in Kensington, cutting edge design has been created by Simon and Lynn Slater to complement the traditional features of the building.

Arriving in the 20th and 21st centuries, we feature three New York apartments by David Mann’s architecture and design practice. A former warehouse on the Upper Eastside merges urban living with Downtown style for a mother and her daughters, while in Greenwich, the ultimate bachelor pad opens up to reveal uber luxury with strong industrial accents. The last of our trio, a pre-War Manhattan apartment, has been purpose-designed to embrace a colourful and quirky art and furniture collection ranging from Art Deco to ‘60s Scandinavian.

Returning back home to Ireland we have two stunning modern homes styled in completely contrasting contemporary fashions and an utterly charming country rectory in County Cork, which after 180 years, remains remarkably unchanged, finding itself in the same glorious setting as when it was built.

I’m going to end my introduction to this book at its beginning – the breathtaking contemporary Spanish hilltop villa which was inspired in part by the Austro-Hungarian architect Adolf Loos.

An ardent advocate of creating a marked distinction between the exterior and the interior of a building, Loos said that: “buildings should be silent to the outside but the inside should reveal their wealth”.Taking his advice to the limit, Hill House Interiors have created the ultimate fantasy holiday retreat.

But there is a room that will.

Uncompromisingly professional. The Vario cooling 400 series.

The Vario cooling 400 series is as variable and as flexible as its name suggests. It can be combined in all sorts of different ways and can therefore cater for even the most exacting of expectations. Its interior is dominated by high-quality stainless steel, resulting in quality and hygiene standards on a par with professional kitchens. And then there is dynamic cold air distribution with Multi-Air-Flow and an ice maker with a fixed water connection. In short , this cooling system offers space for everything – except for compromises. The difference is Gaggenau.

Capital Asset The combined forces of a singer/songwriter and an ex-Harlequins rugby player is not the most likely of partnerships behind a thriving property development and interior design firm, but then again Simon and Lynn Slater could never be described as your average couple..

The achingly hip husband-and-wife team set up Capitol Design London (www.capitol-desixgn.com) in 2001 with the aim of providing turn-key property solutions for investors who, Simon explains, “want to take the hassle out of purchasing in prime central London.”

A bold move, certainly, but one that has paid dividends. The pair have worked consistently over the past ten years, creating a portfolio of some of the most striking properties in London. With 15 projects (and counting) to their name, it is arguably their latest work – a headturningly gorgeous three-bedroom residence on Onslow Gardens in London’s South Kensington – that provides their finest calling card to date.

Although classified as an apartment, this particular property could never be described as your standard bijoux bedsit. A handsome, lightfilled space of some 2,500 sq ft, its accommodation includes three ensuite double bedrooms, eat-in kitchen, reception room and mezzanine TV lounge. There’s also the small (sic) matter of a 1,300 sq ft private roof terrace. Adding further sheen to an already covetable package is the fact that as a lateral apartment, the space the residence affords is equivalent to a four-storey townhouse in neighbouring Chelsea. Quite the bit of real estate indeed, then.

With their flair for cutting-edge interiors allied to an expertise in creating luxurious design schemes that are complimentary to the traditional features of a building, the Slaters were in their element when it came to this project.

57

57

58

“The entire brief centred around creating a contemporary home with comfort at its core,” explains Lynn, adding how the original layout of the property – which spans across two Victorian buildings at first- and second-floor level – required a reconfiguration of the original layout and a restructuring of many of the rooms, as well as a complete decorative makeover.

Six months’ hard inspiration and perspiration have reaped dividends.

The apartment now boasts a delightfully fluid layout and pervasive feeling of space, which is magnified by generous room proportions, 14-foot-high ceilings and, as befits Capitol Design’s reputation, a stunning fit-out and décor that are in keeping with the grandeur of the property.

The Slaters describe their signature style as “understated elegance” and profess to a penchant for designs that “enhance a room’s elements, rather than overpowering them.” This approach finds expression throughout this particular property, from the bespoke lacquered walnut radiator cabinets in the kitchen-cum-dining room to a contemporary chandelier by Bella Figura which casts glamorous light in the hallway and adds a Venetian element and interest to the space without being overbearing.

60

60

61

61

62

62

To those that argue that creating a show-stopping interior requires little more than an understanding bank manager, the Slaters’ skill in commissioning design- and space-appropriate bespoke pieces, when required, provides the perfect riposte.

63

63

In the kitchen, for instance, bespoke storage units have been crafted from hand-coloured stained oak which complement perfectly the composite stone worktops. A custom-made grey oak storage unit in the hallway, meanwhile, provides extensive storage in the hallway. And then there’s a tactile rug in the living room whose deliberately restful design is yet another that was conceived and created by Capitol Design. “Having not found exactly what we were looking for,” says Simon, a self-confessed perfectionist who, like his wife, pays minute attention to detail, “we chose to design the rug ourselves and have it made.”

64

64

65

65

66

66

When not coming up with their own creations, Simon and Lynn have an equally good eye for the designs of others. An Interni Edition St Malo table crafted from rare Tamo wood, for example, takes pride of place in the dining area, while the living room features a pair of Jacinto Usan sofas and a handsome mirror by Christopher guy. Equally indulgent is the material mix, which includes a Deodar upholstery fabric on one of the beds, throws and cushions made up of fabrics from De Le Cuona and a chair covered in an off-white satin fabric by Aiveen Daly.

As in all the best homes, lighting is an integral part of the planning.

Versatile and discreet illumination is provided throughout by a Lutron Homeworks lighting system, which is operated by Crestron. This is supplemented, where appropriate, by mood and ambient lighting, such as a pair of Porta Romana pendant lights in the dining area and beside lamps with luxurious silk shades.

67

67

Beautiful as it indisputably is, what is most impressive about the interior, however, is the way in which the various elements – furnishings, fabrics, lighting and accessories – coalesce.Taken as a whole, the apartment’s fit out and décor is the design equivalent of a professionally trained choir singing in blissful harmony, rather than merely a random assortment of competent singers, each looking to outperform the other.

Simon and Lynn’s passion for their craft, which is obvious from the offset, manifests itself in their innate understanding of what items work well together and how best to place them. Indeed, throughout the apartment is a skilful mix of classic and contemporary pieces, the various items unified by their high level of craft and conceptual quality.

68

68

69

69

The term ‘makeover’ – which summons up images of Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen rag-painting a nest of MDF tables – can scarcely do justice to what Simon and Lynn have done to this property; in fact, even ‘metamorphosis’ sells them some way short. The apartment is all of a piece with nothing given over to chance. Even the smallest touches, from cornicing and door handles to light switches and plug sockets, have been considered. It demonstrates how a singularity of vision and an attention to the smallest detail can create a sort of inevitability and rightness where everything seems part of a whole.

D a r e To D r e a m With its abundance of space, sophisticated palette, ultra-contemporar y interiors and jaw-droppingly lavish fit-out, this sprawling Spanish villa is its owner’s ultimate fantasy.

It’s difficult, if not impossible, not to feel even a small stab of envy during a visit to this 15,000 sq ft villa in Marbella. As dream homes go, it’s got the lot: stunning proportions, to-die-for décor, no-expensespared fit-out, idyllic hillside setting and oodles of personality.

The holiday home of an international businessman and his family, the seven-bedroom property is an opulent melange of luxurious fabrics, high-end (and often bespoke) furnishings and accessories and striking artwork, much in the manner of the renowned architect Adolf Loos, who once stated that buildings ‘should be silent to the outside, but the inside should reveal all their wealth’.

The creative genius behind such visual perfection is the design duo Jenny Weiss and Helen Bygraves, whose combined talents make up Hill House Interiors, one of the UK’s leading interior design consultancies.

No stranger to working on commissions abroad, the pair’s extensive portfolio of projects includes a host of lavish properties across the globe, from Cap D’Antibes in the Cote d’Azur to The Palm in Dubai.

This particular project represented quite a challenge – yet one that they wholeheartedly embraced. “In addition to designing the interiors, we were asked to look at the plans and consult with the build team and architect regarding bathroom finishes, wardrobes, fireplaces and internal doors,” explains Weiss. “We were given a very tight schedule to design and manufacture all the bespoke cabinetry and soft furnishings, so that the client could maximise the summer vacation.”

This interior design dream team obviously thrive under pressure.

Despite tight deadlines (the project was completed in just five months), neither the standard of finish nor the immaculate attention to detail that characterises Hill House’s work has been compromised.

Far from it, in fact.

Walking around the villa, where space flows like molten lava, is akin to stepping from one miniature gallery into another. Each space has a neutral palette, but the carefully compiled and painstakingly sourced objects within add colour, texture, interest and, as is evident from the photography, an air of utter luxury. And although it is full of museumquality objects, there’s not a whiff of glass-case stuffiness about it.

The whole place is alive.

81

81

Indeed, when you see the holiday home as it is today, it’s obvious why people turn to interior designers; the best, such as Weiss and Bygraves, are visionaries and illusionists, magicians who can reinvent space, redefine form and elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Not just a visual treat, however, the property is also intelligently designed throughout. The villa cleverly engages with its open countryside location by maximising views from every angle and taking full advantage of the varying quality of light that enters the interior at different times during the day and the year.

As soon as you step over the threshold, this Andalucian beauty opens its arms to embrace you. The hallway is such a large space that making it glamorous, and more than simply a means of getting from one room to another, was essential. As Weiss and Bygraves say, almost in unison, one finishing off the other’s sentence, “We know you only get one chance to make a first impression – so we always go for the ‘wow’ factor with an entrance hall.”

82

82

83

83

84

84

In true Hill House-style, this particular hallway does not disappoint.

A tasteful dÊcor, sleek cream marfil tiling, opulent ceiling columns and, for its focal point, a brushed silver objet d’art which is placed on stunning table inspired by the Spanish artist Miro, it is an undeniably decadent heart to the villa. While there’s plenty to take in and admire, the deliberately open-plan layout ensures that the eye is drawn through to a spectacular chandelier in the adjacent living space, and then through wide expanses of glass beyond, which open out to gardens complete with an infinity pool and stunning views.

85

85

With a wealth of reception accommodation, the options for anything from informal lounging to lavish entertaining, are many. Most family life, however, centres around a magnificent triple-height drawing room where the key pieces include a vast sofa upholstered in a William Yeoward fabric, an Asian-style low bench by Christopher Guy and, for a luxurious touch underfoot, a bespoke rug by Hill House. Providing a stunning feature overhead, meanwhile, is a dramatic 7.5-metre fibre optic chandelier, a custom-made creation by English lighting specialist Sharon Marston, which cascades down from the apex of the room’s triple-height ceiling.

In the dining area, which leads off one end of the main reception area, a black lacquered baby grand piano subtly demarcates the division between living and dining areas. Bread is broken at a handsome 12-seater table which features dark oak atop a sleek chrome underframe.

Those looking to source an identical design for their own homes are likely to be disappointed. As Bygraves explains: “It was difficult to find a table that met the exact requirements, so we had [the table] custommade to specification.”

86

86

87

87

88

88

The duo’s design skills are equally apparent in the room’s bespoke cabinetry which incorporates extensive wine storage and conceals wine chillers and, in true 007 style, a secret mirrored bar.

“We prefer to use bespoke furniture in order to correctly scale it to the size of the rooms,” Bygraves mentions. “This is particularly important in a project of this size to prevent the rooms looking cavernous.

Weiss and Bygraves’ flair for sophisticated colours and textures is particularly pronounced in the chill-out room, which is set off to stylish effect by a symphony of burnt orange, ivory and bronze, and two sumptuous over-sized leather sofas.

Elsewhere, an Asian influence is pervasive in the galleried study, an airy space on the first floor which leads off the master bedroom and overlooks the triple-height living space below. Details here include elaborate ceiling panelling, built-in cabinetry, a super-sized lacquered leather desk by Italian manufacturer Turri and a sumptuous leather chair.

“We wanted to create a private area that reflected the owner’s status,” explains Weiss, adding that the luxury quotient was elevated by the addition of pleated and printed velvets on the room’s upholstery.

As in most households, the kitchen is the hub of the house and this villa is no different. It has been designed as a multi-functional room with ample space for food preparation and, should the hungry brood return from a day at the beach or pool ready for a feeding frenzy, informal meals. Floored in crema marfil tiling and fitted with high-gloss lacquer units with Silestone composite countertops, it’s a sleek and ultra-contemporary blend of form and function.

The inclusion of a centre island, which features an integrated fridge and storage and incorporates a spacious breakfast bar, provides the perfect spot for a quick snack or early morning juice. Should breakfast be taken en famille, however, there’s ample space to the side of the room where a circular table and chair, both designed by Hill House, bathe in light beneath a crystal bead chandelier by CTO.

While the scale becomes marginally more intimate in the private areas overhead, the emphasis on aesthetics and luxury is maintained. Take the master bedroom, a dual-aspect retreat where a tranquil mood prevails thanks to the Hill House partnership’s judicious use of colour and texture.

A palette of amethyst, taupe, burnished silver and platinum proves a spectacular combination, while luxurious layers of contrasting textures, including a stunning amethyst fabric, which has been used to upholster the bed, and a bespoke silk rug, which adorns the room’s grey oak floorboards, accentuate the sumptuous ambience.

The bedroom’s various furnishings, all of which have been specially designed by Hill House, are equally noteworthy. Highlights include the aforementioned bed, which is framed by mother-of-pearl and dark oak, and a collection of custom-made mirrored pieces, two of which conceal a pop-up TV unit and a bar with an integrated fridge respectively.

While each of the villa’s four remaining bedrooms set their own luxurious scene, a disparately different décor has been used in that belonging to the owner’s young daughter. Described by Weiss and Bygraves as “very feminine and girly” and “a huge fan of shoes and handbags”, her private quarters pay homage to her passions via an unashamedly feminine décor created using super-soft JAB fabrics, textured wallpaper by Tektura and, for a real burst of colour, a deep pink feature wall with Elitis wallpaper.

Bathrooms can sometimes be an interior designer’s Achilles’ heel, often appearing as overly clinical, charm-free spaces. Not here. “Bathrooms can be the most important room in the house,” notes Bygraves. “They have to be the ultimate escape room, where the owners can truly relax and unwind.”

There is certainly little risk of getting remotely stressed in any of the villa’s many bathrooms. The master en suite is particularly indulgent with its over-sized stone bath, which has been positioned to take full advantage of the splendid views available from the room, and a vast four-metre walk-in shower. Its suite includes a WC and bidet, although these are housed separately.

“When planning a bathroom of this calibre, we always try to take [the WC and bidet] out of the equation, because they are just not that visually attractive, so we prefer to accommodate them, out of sight, in an adjoining room,” Weiss mentions.

The word basements tends to conjure up images of dark, damp and dingy spaces, crammed with unloved and unused furniture, old sports equipment and assorted box files. Sequestered beneath the ground level accommodation in this villa, however, is a vast Bat Cave-like space tricked out with all manner of creature comforts and high-tech gadgetry.

Taking pride of place here is a pool and spa area fit to grace any fivestar hotel. A haven of tranquillity with its textured polished plastered walls and locally sourced stone floors, this sprawling space is part of a subterranean ‘after-hours’ zone which comprises changing and shower rooms, sauna, steam room, fully fitted gymnasium and even a designated massage area.

105

105

As befits the scale and fit-out of the villa, it is perhaps of little surprise to discover that the basement includes its own cinema room, an ultraplush space with its own star quality and where every day can feel like Saturday night at the movies.

“We wanted to create a communal and inviting family space,” says Bygraves, pointing to a series of iconic black-and-white Hollywood images and replica movie posters which set the stylish scene. “We softened the walls, entirely panelling them in tones of stone with strategically placed vertical black suede panels on the screen wall to conceal the speaker system and complement the ceiling.”

The rows of chewing gum-stained, rigidly upright cramped chairs that characterise the average multiplex are, mercifully, absent. In their place, the Hill House duo opted for a far infinitely more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing alternative: a bespoke U-shaped seating system which they designed to fit the space. Upholstered in butter-soft Italian leather, its comfort levels are taken up yet another notch with the addition of numerous cushions with a chic Andrew Martin fabric.

Working on the dĂŠcor and fit-out of the adjoining games room proved particularly enjoyable for the interior design duo, providing them with a perfect opportunity to “really let our imagination run wild!â€?

109

109

Eschewing the traditional palette of a classic games room, they opted for a far more funky combination of hot pink and purple. A hand-made snooker table with purple baize was duly commissioned, while similar tones were chosen for a five-metre long wall in the room, which depicts the solar system lit by twinkling fibre optics. Other touches include purple retro chairs, drum tables with pink internal lighting and a loud and proud textured pink rug which injects a shot of colour to the room’s wideplank wooden flooring.

The stand-out design in the games room, however, is arguably a special resin ice bar fitted with colour-changing LEDs. “We wanted to add a focal point to the area where the owners and their friends could congregate and relax,” explains Weiss. “The resin bar is also a great way to introduce even more colour.”

So far, so impeccable. But what about the gardens themselves? Has the stunning attention to detail indoors been carried through to the outside? It will perhaps come as little surprise to learn that the gardens are landscaped to within an inch of their perfectly manicured lives. As large as they are lavish, they incorporate lush lawns, paved patio areas for al fresco dining and entertaining and a magnificent infinity pool.

Those hoping to replicate the various furnishings in the gardens with a trip to Ikea are likely to be disappointed. The focus, as ever, is firmly on premium pieces that exude taste and quality. The loungers that flank the pool, for instance, are by Spanish design firm Kettal, while a glamorous U-shaped white sofa, which is dressed with green and green-and-white striped cushions and enclosed within a curvaceous wicker frame, is by Skyline.

“The quality of materials and craftsmanship is of the utmost importance to us – anything less that top drawer simply will not make the cut,” affirms Weiss.

Elsewhere, a specially designed area is the outdoor equivalent of a living room. Fitted with a tiled floor, ceiling beams and even a fireplace, it is furnished memorably with huge L-shaped sofas by Kettal, a minimountain of cushions and a pair of freestanding rocking chairs.

The various pieces, Bygraves mentions, were painstakingly sourced and selected for their combination of form, function and, crucially, flexibility. “Items here were chosen to offer optimum flexibility,” she says, “so that the configuration can be adjusted according to the season.

Renaissance author, courtier, and father of inductive reasoning Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) famously said, “Houses are to be lived in, not looked upon”, and this is clearly a philosophy that the owner of the luxury villa subscribes to. This is a holiday home that was designed to be lived in and enjoyed, not as a mere showpiece.

116

116

117

117

Indeed, when they began this five-month project, Weiss and Bygraves set out to create an interior that was luxurious and glamorous yet felt relaxed and welcoming, and were anxious to avoid imposing a formal style. The number of friends and family visiting the owners most weekends, and hoping to return again and again, should provide them with all the evidence they require to indicate that this has been a fait accompli.

The interior design duo have even been able to enjoy on occasion the fruits of their inspired labour, having joined the owner and his family for the odd memorable party or two. And why not indeed? With a house this grand, it would be a crying shame not to use it and, crucially, enjoy it! www.hillhouseinteriors.com

Fit for a King A Tudor manor house which played host to Charles I has undergone a stunning 21st century revival.

With its mullioned windows, stone slate roof and mellow honey coloured walls, Butlers Court aooears a typical 16th century Cotswold manor house built in c.1550 and extended several times over subsequent centuries, it was the one-time home of an ardent Royalist family, the Ashcombes. It is at Butlers Court on 17 September 1643, that Katherine Ashcombe was said to have had the privilege of entertaining Charles I for a night on his march from Gloucester to Newbury.

The house is the creation and home of interior designer Pippa Paton.

It was love at first sight according to Pippa, “As soon as we reached the top of the drive we knew instinctively it had to be ours.� Five years later work on the house and its outbuildings is complete and Butlers Court is not only home to Pippa, her husband Scott and children Max and Scarlett, but is also company HQ for Pippa Paton Design, which the couple run together.

123

123

The main reason for the somewhat protracted renovation was that Butlers Court had to be fitted in-between a constant stream of new design projects: “Our own home often took a back seat as we were so busy working on client properties.” Pippa Paton Design has been running since 2005 and is a far cry from Pippa’s original career. “Before I qualified as an interior designer I was Group Finance Director for a big advertising agency in London. Around eight years ago I decided to change direction – I’d always been interested in interiors and had often lent a hand to friends who were doing up their homes, but I realised that it was something that I was passionate about and so I enrolled in a course at the Chelsea College of Art and Design.” Initially the business was purely interior design based, but now their portfolio of services has expanded to include project management, which is run by Scott.

When the Patons moved to Butlers Court in 2006, the house had received scant decorative attention in the previous half century. “The same family had lived here since around 1950 and the only change they had made was to put in a small kitchen”, explains Pippa.The layout remained essentially the same as it had been for many decades, with a series of small rooms leading off the kitchen. Each had once served an individual purpose – scullery, flower room, boot room, log room and so on – a legacy of the days when the house was run with the help of a team of servants.

“Apart from the dimensions of this series of small rooms, the other problems with the layout were that none of the rooms faced south and there was no access to the garden. We needed to make radical changes to the interior architecture to give us light and the flowing living, kitchen and dining space that we wanted.�

132

132

133

133

134

134

The house is a Grade II listed building, but Pippa was able to make the internal changes she wanted and also add a large part-glazed kitchen extension by getting permission to knock down a couple of small lean-tos dating from the 1900s: “The extension is absolutely inkeeping with the original part of the house and fundamental to the creation of the open-plan living accommodation we desired. It was also obvious to have a room which we could fully open out onto the garden.�

135

135

With the restrictions of the old building and a north-south orientation, however, it was not possible to flood every room with daylight. “What I did with the formal sitting room, for instance, was to embrace the lack of light by painting it black. There was no point in trying to make it bright and airy, so instead we decided that it would become our evening room – and it’s a very atmospheric place to be at night. To make sure we didn’t feel closed-in we took away the door in that room so that there is a free flow of space … In fact wherever possible we have removed doors as we prefer the house to flow.”

136

136

137

137

The renovation of the house hasn’t all been about removing things, however – Pippa’s aim was to embrace and celebrate its past and to use the marks of the passage of time to her advantage. In the course of the building work they uncovered a series of features from bygone days, including several forgotten doorways and an old well in the boot-room which they preserved, putting a glass door over the opening and lighting it from beneath: “Once we uncovered an original feature of the house we left it uncovered.” She describes her style as: “Broadly contemporary, but I like a mix of old and new. I work a lot in old and listed buildings where I always try to avoid pastiche and instead bring the building into the 21st century. Our own house is a good example of the way I like to work. Where I have used an original oak door, for instance, I have given it an undisguised new frame – each element is not trying to be something it isn’t and yet the two sit very happily together. Neither have I tried to age the big chunky oak beams that we have installed – I like new things to look new.”

138

138

139

139

140

140

As far as design influences are concerned, Pippa says that she feels her style is instinctive rather than studied and learned: “I don’t like to follow rules. I know what I like and I find that I intuitively know what needs to go into a space.” Over time, however, she says that she has noticed her style becoming more eclectic: “Experience has given me the confidence to use large, unexpected and unusual things in spaces.

The more one-off pieces you can use, the better the effect.”

141

141

Part of the desire to move from their previous house in Henley was to find space for a proper design studio. This was another reason why Butlers Court had such appeal, as within the grounds was an old coach house which Pippa identified immediately as the perfect location for her company. Comprising three coaching bays and a stable with a hay loft above, there was scope to create both a design studio and selfcontained two bedroom cottage.

142

142

143

143

144

144

The studio is a light, bright space with white-washed walls and bleached floorboards up in the eves of the coach house. Many of its original features remain, such as the dovecotes on the gable end and Pippa has retained some of the old internal layout – utilising the hay loft as a mezzanine floor reached by a ladder.

145

145

146

146

147

147

148

148

The coach house was the first part of the entire project to be tackled.

Pippa’s rationale was that this was the quickest route to deliver both living and working accommodation and would enable them to spend time working on the more complex project of the manor house. With two open fire places as the only source of heating on the ground floor, the Patons braved the cold in the manor house for two years while they converted the outlying coach house into accommodation: “I figured that if people had lived in the house without central heating for 450 years, then we could certainly survive in the short-term until we finished the coach house”, says Pippa. “And besides, the walls are 1.5 to 2m thick for the most part, so it never felt really icy!”

149

149

The end result of the years of hard work is an idyllic property which effortlessly spans the centuries. True to its Tudor roots from the outside, inside Butlers Court today, time has marched on four and a half centuries in a sublime transition from post-medieval to modern. Vintage salvage finds and antiques line up alongside Italian designer accessories and bespoke furniture in a gorgeous melange of contrasting textures and colours; all set against a backdrop of smooth plaster, mighty oak beams and exposed stonework. One can’t help but feel that Charles I would still be very pleased to rest here.

A lesson in restraint Built and twice extended, all in the space of ten years, this large family home showcases the best in timeless design.

“Compared to our last home it felt like we moved into Beverley Hills!” jokes Sophie Smith of her spacious Kerry house. Built in 2001 it took almost two years to complete. Her husband isn’t an architect, rather a chartered surveyor and project manager, and he spent at least an hour and half on the plans every evening in the painstaking quest for their dream home. “The builder is my husband’s best friend, and despite what people say about never mixing business with pleasure, we’ve had very happy results. The house has been extended twice, and the same team have come back to do all the work.”

The hall represents the more formal side to the house, and shows how its style has evolved. Wall panelling was added to the stairs and landing two years ago and the mahogany stairs has been painted. One thing that has stayed the same is the soft palette of gorgeous neutrals that run harmoniously throughout the whole home.

The light-filled sitting room was originally planned as a playroom, but once built the couple realised it would make a lovely living space. The furniture and fabrics came from interior designer Helen Turkington who was brought back in ‘Phase 3’ to work her magic on other parts of the home.

“Sophie found it hard to visualise the spaces but knew what she liked as soon as she saw it,” Helen explains. “She wanted something timeless rather than trend driven, which is exactly the way I approach design.” The mix of check and herringbone seats and elegant coffee table were first teamed up in Helen’s shop in a room staging, and now sit handsomely in Sophie’s room surrounded by Farrow & Ball Light Gray walls, Manuel Canova’s curtains and curvaceous wooden lamps from Hicken Lighting.

155

155

Texture plays an important role in the home’s timeless styling, with a mix of fabrics right down to the contrast-piped cushions all chosen from the same palette. “If you buy a flamboyant dress you’ll only wear it a few times. If you buy a black dress you can dress it up, change accessories and it doesn’t date. Your house is like this – and you can live with it longer too¬,” explains Helen, who prefers to introduce colour through flowers.

“You can’t rush a house either,” she explains. “A place always looks better if you take your time to get it right. I’ve worked with Sophie for years and gotten to know what she likes. She now trusts me enough to call from London, for example, and tell her I’ve found the perfect cushion fabric. A relationship evolves with a client.”

Helen is pictured here in one of her and the family’s favourite rooms – the conservatory. Unlike many sunrooms it is used year round thanks to the relaxed styling and limestone floors. “It’s a really bright space,” Sophie tells me, “Even in the depths of winter it’s so cosy, whether looking out at the snow or morning sun.” The walls are painted in Farrow & Ball Stony Ground, a warm neutral well paired with the wood panelling and bookcases, which contain a secret door to the home office.

A real fire is a welcoming feature in the formal sitting room, which once looked out onto the expansive gardens. When the house was extended they decided to keep the French doors by the fire, mirroring them to capture light from the big bay windows. There’s stronger beige and bronze tones in this room, and this is capitalised on by using only lamps and candles rather than ceiling or spot lights.

161

161

Distressed leather chairs in rich toffee create a clubby feel in this smaller reception room which has become something of a reading and chess room for the family. The wooden set came from Belgium, as did the chairs while the leather trunk, used as a table, was sourced from SKI Interiors. The linen-effect wallpaper introduces a green tone while staying within the natural range of the house’s palette.

It would be easy to be envious of all this space, but the Smiths have five children and Sophie is proud of the fact that every room in the house is well utilised. “Some large homes feel like museums, and although I don’t like clutter, every room in this house is lived in and used.”

162

162

163

163

164

164

Mealtimes in the Smith’s are enjoyed around a large solid table that took months of sourcing. “I couldn’t find a big enough round table anywhere, despite trawling the internet and looking in countless furniture shop while on holidays on the States,” recalls Sophie. “Eventually I found a picture of one I liked so we had it made by Seabury in Naas.” The base is painted in Stony Ground by Farrow & Ball while the top is washed white oak.

Placed beneath a trio of windows ¬the table is bathed in natural light and enjoys views over the large garden. The two smaller windows are dressed in Roman blinds fashioned from a pretty botanical Colefax & Fowler print, neatly connecting the views to the interior.

165

165

Adhering to the classic style choices the kitchen is a hand-painted farmhouse affair in cool Farrow & Ball colours with teak counters.

Crafted by David Duggan it was seamlessly extended in 2009 when a beautiful cream Aga was added. “It quickly became like another family member!” jokes Sophie. “The kids and dogs love it.”

166

167

168

The sunroom enjoys wonderful light and generous doors that open onto the leafy garden. Originally conceived as a larger room to run the length of the house its size was reduced when Sophie’s daughter asked if the plans could be changed to give her a different bedroom.

In summer time it’s a great space for entertaining, with access onto a terrace with a large dining table.

169

169

A fan of Helen’s elegant styling Sophie admits that the console table, lamps, and mirror in this second hallway were all spotted together in her shop. “They were all paired up and looked great together so I knew they’d work well here.” The walls are painted in Harbour Gray

by Zoffany, although most of the paint throughout the house is Farrow & Ball, most notably String, Cord and Stony Ground. (Since 2010 Helen has her own range of paints for Colortrend, which she now uses instead.)

The space has been personalised by the addition of family photos in silver frames, and it is these personal touches are something very important to both women. “A home should never be completed by a designer, otherwise it will always look like a show house,” Helen feels.

“It should feature a collection of things that mean something to the owner and that tell a story about the journey of their lives.”

170

170

171

171

172

172

The master bedroom is a luxurious and restful space that enjoys lovely natural light. The wallpaper features the same leafy Colefax & Fowler pattern used in the kitchen’s Roman blinds. “The house is surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery so we wanted to have that lovely botanical feel inside,” Sophie explains.

173

173

Upon entering the vast home office – accessed through the secret bookshelf door – you find a large open plan room illuminated by two antler-effect chandeliers with a distinctive Ralph Lauren vibe. (The secret door was designed to keep the office separate from the family space, while also avoiding the conservatory feeling like a corridor.)

Thanks to its garden access and smart storage, including a staircase with in-built filing – this room easily transforms into another reception room for family gatherings.

174

174

175

The boys’ bedroom is tricked out in fresh Linum ticking that’s been cleverly accented by denim throws. It’s a good example of Helen Turkington’s innate understanding of txextures, and illustrates how colour and patterns can stay timeless if handled in the right way. It’s her signature look and its been stamped rather beautifully on the Smith’s delightful Kerry home.

House of Dreams Light, comfort and expansive space for both family life and entertainment were the essential indulgences at a luxurious new residence in Cork.

The brief issued to Tom Coughlan of Coughlan DeKeyser Architects by the owners of a half acre site in a leafy Cork suburb was highly specific – to design a house which would catch the light as the day progressed, make the most of a south facing garden (which should be seen from the front door), incorporate a separate space for entertaining guests and of course meet all the fundamental needs of a family home.

It was a challenging brief according to Tom (who is also the architect behind the stunning Cliff House Hotel in Waterford), not least because there were established residences either side of the plot which restricted east and west light. “Our desire was to create a series of well lit spaces by maximising the southerly aspect of the property.

An awareness of how the sun moves across the site was all-important in achieving this objective.�

Serving both to create great visual impact and to facilitate the flow of light is the curved glazed stairway with glass balustrading, backed by a vast three storey window to the garden, which dominates the entrance hall. This staircase serves the lower floor, entrance hallway and gallery landings, allowing light to flow unrestricted throughout the building.

Covering approximately 10,000 sq ft in total, the house occupies three floors over a basement. Entry is at ground floor level, straight into the enormous hallway furnished with elegant cream and silver signature pieces from Italian design house Creazioni. The formal drawing room and dining room lie to the right of the hallway from the entrance, with the less formal accommodation of kitchen, family room, breakfast room and playroom arranged to the left.

Interior design in a contemporary classical style has been completely created and managed by the owner who reveals that while much of the furniture was sourced during visits to the annual Salone Internazionale Del Mobile in Milan, it was inspired by the contents of what she calls: “My ‘Dream Drawer’, where I stored pictures and cuttings over a ten year period before we built the house.” The owner also worked closely with Bespoke Design to source all the furniture, fabric and furnishings. The lay-out of the house is also very much the work of its mistress as she was so clear and particular about what she wanted out of the accommodation.

Fendi is another Italian designer brand which features prominently in the furnishing of the house and has been used both in the formal drawing room and in the family room to create a sumptuous snug in a neutral palette of putty and taupe tones with aubergine accents.

The sofa, throw, rug and nest of tables are all by Fendi Casa, and rest on rich walnut parquet by the Irish luxury solid wood flooring company, Ebony and Co. There is more Fendi in the sunny breakfast room situated at the back of the kitchen facing the garden where the design of the white leather table and cube chairs complements the retro seating visible at the rear of the garden.

The spectacular kitchen is by bespoke specialists, Design House, who are based in Dalkey, County Dublin. Chris Donaghy, owner and designer at Design House, worked closely with his client to meet her very specific separate family and entertaining needs. The units are oak, hand-painted in cream and topped by exquisite grey marble (one of the services Chris provides his clients is to accompany them to Italy where they can select their own unique piece of stone). The floor is a French limestone sourced from Designer Tile Outlet in Cork.

Fendi Murano double tier chandelier and high stools covered in cream leather with a button finish add glamour to the setting.

In addition to fine cabinetry, the kitchen combines all manner of appliances, including the iconic American brands of Wolf cooker (often referred to as the ‘Ferrari of cookers’) and Sub Zero fridge, freezer and wine chiller. A Miele microwave and coffee maker have been built in to the units adjacent to the breakfast room, with warming drawers under each.

The formal dining room is situated off the entrance hallway and is dominated by an enormous Fendi Casa leather covered table. Three large Obi lights by Axolight hang above and the table is laid with Venere cutlery by Armani Casa and tableware by Villeroy and Boch.

A seascape by the Cork-born artist Philip Gray has been precisely positioned to reflect in the mirror on one wall so that all guests can enjoy its beauty and tranquillity. To keep the party going after dinner, in the basement below the dining room is a wine cellar, resplendent in silver and red with climate controlled Sub Zero wine storage, a large games room with pool table and an 8 seater cinema.

The family bedrooms are all situated on the first floor of the house, with the master suite taking the lion’s share of the space, covering the footprint of the formal drawing room and dining room downstairs.

Consisting of a bedroom with open fire, double wardrobes, a sitting area to the rear over-looking the garden and an ensuite bathroom, the suite is a glamorous, sensuous space in a gold and chocolate colour palette. The gold leather bed is by Fendi, as are the bedlinen and sidetables with gold lamps by Kettal and at the foot of the bed languishes a leopard print covered Creazioni chaise longue with matching pillows and throw. A toning backdrop is provided by the gold and cream carpet from Loomah Carpets and Rugs with a dark brown faux leather Couture wallpaper by Tektura behind the headboard.

In the master ensuite the rich brown and gold theme is continued with tiles from the Pixall Mosaic collection by Sicis and bespoke bathroom units in dark mahogany tones with French brown marble tops. Bowl sinks and wall-mounted silver taps were sourced from the Yard in Belfast.

The south-facing garden was a focal point from the outset and renowned Irish landscape designer Diarmuid Gavin was commissioned to come up with a scheme which would bring the spirit of the house out into the garden. His design utilises a central lawn leading to a wooden pergola at the far end, complete with two swinging ‘bubble’ seats. Pleached trees and wooden slatted screens add perspective and structure, delineating the different usage areas of the space.

It’s the final element of the perfect home according to the owner : “This house panders to our every need and allows us to entertain in the way we want to, but most of all it’s where we create wonderful childhood memories for our son and ourselves – it’s always a pleasure and a privilege to come home.”

Lofty aspirations New York has defined and refined the concept of loft living and this modernist masterpiece is the ultimate designer duplex.

High above Greenwich Village stands One Jackson Square, a building of outstanding beauty shimmering in the Manhattan skyline. Bands of floor-to-ceiling glass wrap around its curves in smooth ribbons, juxtaposing old and new in this predominantly low-rise neighbourhood.

Built in 2009, David Mann of MR Architecture+Décor was drafted in to fit out one of the show – or model – apartments, as they’re called stateside. You won’t see much change out of $7.5 million for this duplex apartment (furnished) but luxury and location don’t come cheap in this part of the world.

Trained as an architect and interior designer David has an inherent understanding of space. Given an almost blank palette (he had a few features and fittings to work around) he set out to create the ultimate bachelor pad in this hip part of the city. Blending luxury living with industrial accents – as an homage to loft culture – this duplex penthouse is a tactile showcase for its design-led furnishings Unimpressed by the central positioning of a utility room door David cloaked the wall in sheer grey linen to streamline aesthetics. Large building pillars were transformed into sculptural statements in matt black paint. The double-sided plasterboard fireplace was clad in black mirrors to reflect the space’s impressive scale while the two perimeter walls look edgy and industrial in cement tones..

The living area is a feast of visual and tactile stimulants – shiny, smooth, soft and reflective. A graphite silk velvet sofa and lacquered rope weave armchairs are balanced by the reflective qualities of the 70’s CityScape glass and aluminium coffee table. The abstract layered acrylic painting by Peter Zimmerman, hung to look like it floats against the curtain, ties the colour scheme together while celebrating the strong urban environment.

The duplex was already fitted out with wide-plank solid white oak floors, so David chose a pale horsehair area rug that’s similar in colour to add a sensual contrast. It’s an unusual choice that plays out well in front of the theatrical drama of the extended curtain and Tom Dixon mirror ball lights.

For a chic industrial vibe that adds real warmth David had two perimeter walls stuccoed to look like concrete. It proved a genius move matched by the witty piece of wall sculpture: a Brompton folding bike that’s utilitarian design at its best. The high spec Italian Molteni kitchen makes streamlined impact with its cool mix of gloss and walnut units, Corian countertops and premium appliances. Think Blanco, Miele and Sub Zero and you’ll get the picture.

221

221

The double-height space wasn’t wasted on this architectural mind, who placed the apartment’s dining space beneath the 22-foot ceiling. Accentuating the scale he chose a cluster of blackened metal pendant lights by Tom Hickson which illuminate the impressive marble Mangiarotti dining table. “I fell in love with these wooden chairs,” David tells me, “and subsequently bought them afterward for my own home!”.

222

The property boasts three bathrooms and two bedrooms, and upstairs David has created his little ‘nook’ which has been tricked out as a luxe chill out zone. Overlooking the West Village, you can get cosy on the handsome walnut and leather sling chair and footstool, or laze on the Brisa fur beanbag, a fun and gorgeous design piece.

225

225

By contrast to the main living space David turned the second bedroom into a study that’s decidedly earthy and softer around the edges.

It boasts an Eames chair, Jacques Adnet leather daybed and rosewood shelving while the walls are rich and intriguing in black grass cloth.

“The master bedroom isn’t overly big,” David admits, “so I wanted to make an impact on a scale the space could handle”. The black bed has no headboard, positioned instead against a table to give the illusion it floats in the middle of the room. Metallic silver paint reflects the Ingo Mauer light fitting in silver paper while a Mongolian lambswool bedspread is at once decadent and inviting.

229

229

The master bedroom is also home to The Valet Chair a clever piece of 1940’s design by Danish modernist, Hans Wegner. Handsome, useful (the seat flips up to store personal items like wallet and cufflinks), striking and pared-back it reflects David Mann’s quest for smart and stimulating design. And things don’t get much more stimulating than this deluxe dream pad in New York’s coolest borough.

American space program Luxury and wow factor are to the fore of this Upper Eastside loft conversion.

It’s rare that a city dweller has the opportunity to create a home from scratch right in the heart of the city. But stylish business woman, Kris Fuchs, got that chance when her ex-husband told her to choose any floor she liked in his empty building – a former warehouse of auction house Christie’s – on Manhattan’s Upper Eastside.

Surprisingly Kris didn’t choose the top floor, but the fourth, where she employed the services of David Mann, Principal at MR Architecture and Décor. His brief was to create a beautiful space for Kris and her two teenage daughters, merging urban living with downtown style in this 4,400 square foot loft space. Kris is owner of SUITE New York, a high-end furniture showroom in the city and while David is also renowned for his interior design talents, she hired him to design the space from the ground up, turning to colleague and SUITE New York’s Creative Director, Chris Kraig, to handle the décor.

The apartment is accessed through a dark leather-clad vestibule which opens onto a light-flooded space. The walls, a high gloss epoxy that’s durable and sleek, lead you towards a showpiece Steinway piano that separates the open plan living and dining space. This dark, lacquered structure sits dramatically amidst a calming palette of neutral and tactile fabrics. Cool limestone slabs, a humorous pouf in Mongolian lamb, a sparkling Viennese glass lamp and plush carpet create a multifaceted cocoon that’s luxurious and inviting.

235

Kris, pictured with David Mann, sits on one half of a sofa that’s been designed to look like it’s split in two. Handsome Macassar ebony units and leather sling chairs in warm brown punctuate the space while sheer curtains run around three walls, softening the setting while diffusing light. The luxurious area rug was designed by Chris Kraig, and matches the one in the dining room.

The generous white oak table in the dining room is perfect for entertaining and guests will be seated in style on Hans J Wegner’s 1944 design classics – The China Chair. While there’s no great view there is great light, maximised by a sheer curtain which runs along three walls giving the illusion of continuing windows. This neutral palette is the perfect canvas for John Chamberlain’s colourful sculpture – several of his highly covetable works are owned by MoMA – and the fun house mirrors that make you fat and thin at once!

An apartment of this scale and calibre could only ever have one type of master bedroom, and that’s one with serious wow factor.

David created a large, open space with luxurious indulgences, like a white glass-clad fireplace with its own seating area and a completely mirrored walk-in wardrobe, which allows the room to remain clutterfree. In keeping with the neutral colour scheme this calming space is accented by purples, mauves and lilacs, making for a fresh and feminine twist.

It ain’t the Oval Office, but it could perhaps be called the Round Room, given its propensity for all things circular. The centrepiece is a large Nina Rota bed designed by master of curves, Lebanese architect and designer, Ron Arad. It’s decidedly glamorous, and Chris Kraig added a subtle Deco touch with a magnificent bespoke rug that suggests oldworld Hollywood. From the carpet pattern to the bedside tables, the wall lights to the ornaments and vintage Italian fireside table, circles have a fun and harmonious presence.

245

245

If you’re looking for humour you’ll find it in spades in the vibrantly coloured media room. “This was a space with no natural light so needed to be treated imaginatively,” explains David of the tangerine den. Contrasting dramatically with the rest of the light-filled home it’s an intimate space that’s perfect for cosy movie viewing.

The sofas are cantilevered off walls upholstered in orange Ralph Lauren corduroy. Macassar ebony shelving lends a retro richness to this orange and brown ensemble, which is accented by the embroidered cushions in vintage designs.

Kris’s daughters share a completely Corian-clad bathroom, but each has her own bright bedroom. David created a generous terrace to run along the apartment’s North end past all three bedrooms. It’s a welcome space in an urban home and gives bird’s eye views of this affluent neighbourhood.

Despite the serious design aesthetics there’s plenty of fun and humour at play in this Upper Eastside loft. And while Kris has enviable connections in the design world – plus access to the many beautiful pieces she stocks at SUITE New York – you can be sure she was glad to have David Mann on speed dial when it came to choosing the perfect architect.

Countr y Pursuits Some larger than life characters have made Aghinagh House their home over the years, but the prevailing atmosphere at this Irish Georgian rectory is a restful quietude, which the owners have been at pains to preserve.

Aghinagh’s special atmosphere was obvious at first sight, according to its current owner, interior designer Nuala Ryan: “When we first saw the house we didn’t know anything about its history or who had lived there, we just sensed a very positive energy.”

It has been a little over 6 years since Nuala and husband Michael purchased the rectory and set about a project of extensive repair and renovation. “Although the house was in reasonable condition, we decided that it was better to carry out extensive works to make sure that we didn’t need to undertake continuous refurbishment after moving in.” Nuala explains. Seven months later, after completing all the building works, she was finally able to embark upon the interiors of the house with the help of business partner Aine O’Dwyer, with whom she runs Cork-based interior design business, Internal Affairs.

257

257

The building work had included a high degree of restoration – recovering original features where possible or replacing them where necessary; and it was always Nuala’s intention that the interior design would follow suit, creating a period feel without striving for pastiche. “Our whole intention was to try to preserve the original atmosphere of the house while creating a practical space for a young family. We trawled the collections of design houses like Zoffany, Jane Churchill, Colefax & Fowler, Mulberry and Farrow & Ball for fabrics and wallpapers and we added new and old elements from our travels in France and Italy”, says Nuala.

Nestling among 20 acres of gardens and lush green pastures in a little pocket of West Cork countryside, not far from Macroom, Aghinagh is a rare example of a country house whose setting remains virtually unchanged from its creation. Samuel Lewis’s account in his Topographical Directory of Ireland, written in 1837, describes the parochial setting as having: “… land [which] is generally good and is well sheltered; … about four fifths are under a good system of cultivation; the remainder is rough pasture and bog. … The banks of the river are here adorned with several elegant houses…. The living is a rectory [Aginagh House]… built in 1814, with a gift of £100 and a loan of £1500 from the same Board: the glebe comprises 24 acres.”

261

261

Apar t from several coats of clotted cream coloured paint and a shiny red front door, externally the house looks just as it did in the early 19th century – a roomy, but unpretentious house in a wooded setting. It is not a house that was ever intended for show – as a rectory, pretensions of grandeur wouldn’t have been seemly – and then later its inhabitants were more concerned with outdoor pursuits than in creating a highly decorative proper ty. Pictures of Aghinagh which Nuala took at the time of purchase depict a house much in need of TLC but with an aristocratic and elegant soul: “I love the house because although it’s quite large, it’s not at all ostentatious – and I felt it would be quite wrong to try and flamboyantly gild the lily. We have the luxury of wonderful space with big windows and high ceilings but we have the peaceful cosy family home we’d always dreamed of,” says Nuala.

262

262

263

263

264

264

The couple bought the house from Fergie Sutherland, the celebrated trainer of Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Imperial Call. Eton and Sandhurst-educated, Sutherland had gone on to have a distinguished career in the British Army which ended prematurely when he lost his leg in a booby trap whilst serving in Korea in 1952. The lack of a limb was a mere passing inconvenience for the tough Scot, however.

He returned to England, his spirit undiminished and being a lifelong devotee of all things equine, found a new career in horse racing.

Popular folklore has it that he would arrive for country weekends with three spare legs: one for riding, one for shooting and the other for dancing.

265

265

Sutherland moved to Aghinagh House from Newmarket in the late 1960s, recognising the potential of the lush Cork pastures for raising and training the horses he loved. He was not the first gutsy military man to make the house his home, however, as twenty years earlier it had been the retirement home of his mother’s second husband, the renowned army officer, Sir Adrian Carton De Wiart. When Sutherland moved in his mother, by then widowed, was still living at Aghinagh (and remained so until after her 100th birthday in 2003).

De Wiart was a remarkable character by all accounts – and it would seem entirely wrong to write about his former home without a short homage to its illustrious former occupant. In the first instance, as a photograph taken at the house in 1951 testifies, De Wiart’s appearance was somewhat unorthodox. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography described Sir Adrian thus: “With his black eyepatch and empty sleeve, Carton De Wiart looked like an elegant pirate, and became a figure of legend.”

266

266

267

267

268

268

It was an appearance which had been shaped by a more than eventful life. Considered by many to be one of the most remarkable figures in British military history, De Wiart was wounded eight times serving in two World Wars (including the loss of an eye and a hand), awarded the VC for his bravery at the Battle of the Somme and Mentioned in Despatches six times. One account of his exploits describes how “…

De Wiart evaded capture for eight days disguised as an Italian peasant.

But he was in northern Italy, did not speak Italian, was 61 years old with an eye patch, one empty sleeve and multiple injuries”. He was no shrinking violet socially either and a combination of extreme bravery and a forthright character made him the stuff of boys’ own legend; indeed he is said to be the model for Brigadier Ben Ritchie Hook in Evelyn Waugh’s Sword of Honour trilogy.

De Wiart’s first wife died in 1949 and in 1951, at the age of 71, he married Ruth Myrtle Muriel Joan McKechnie, a divorcee known as Joan Sutherland. The son of Irish and Belgian aristocrats, for his retirement De Wiart settled on his maternal country and took up residence in Aghinagh House where he devoted the remainder of his life to the pursuit of salmon and snipe.

269

269

Just like De Wiart, Nuala and Michael Ryan came to Cork to find a more peaceful existence with plenty of opportunities for country pursuits. Around a decade ago they made the decision to return to Ireland with their young family and find a house in the countryside.

It was a dramatic change on many levels – previously home was a Georgian townhouse in Camberwell, South London and Nuala had been embroiled in the high pressure environment of financial PR. While Michael continues to commute into London every week from Cork, for Nuala the move back home has represented not only a change in family life but in career.

270

270

271

271

272

272

“I had always been interested in interiors and used to spend my weekends traipsing around the Fulham Road and Chelsea Harbour ogling the design shops and imagining what I would buy if I got a bonus that year!” remembers Nuala. “When we got back to Cork I wanted a career I could more easily combine with a family and so I decided to develop my hobby and train as an interior designer. It was at a Fine Arts course in Cork that I met Aine and then we both trained in Dublin before setting up our business.”

273

273

After securing their first job immediately – being hired to re-design the interiors for a bar and restaurant in Ovens, County Cork, the duo have gone on to work on a wide variety of properties, from commercial to private, contemporary to period, both in Ireland and Europe – recent projects have included a villa in Estepona, a townhouse in Munich and apartments in London; but their first love remains period projects. “We have found a niche in Georgian houses which need total reconstruction. There’s nothing better than getting your teeth stuck into a period project!”

274

274

275

275

276

276

Working on Aghinagh House simultaneously with other projects, Nuala says that her own home was a great opportunity to try things out. Whilst there are plenty of consistent elements for continuity and flow – such as the neutral colour palette in creams and beiges which provides the backdrop for the reception rooms on the ground floor and the kitchen and family room in the basement below, in every room Nuala has looked to layer detail, blending complementary and unusual accessories and textures: “Our emphasis is always on being individualistic – and this comes down ultimately, to the detail.”

277

277

Key alterations to the layout were mostly made to accommodate the transition from a country house, which had once been run with the help of full-time staff, into a home to meet the needs of 21st century family life. The kitchen, for instance, had originally been a pokey space in the basement and was connected to the ground floor via a steep staircase which emerged in a small butler’s pantry close to the front door. Nuala moved the kitchen to the front of the house to benefit from the light, closing off the staircase and turning the pantry into a guest loo where a full length mirror now disguises the former doorway. To gain more light and a more sociable space, she opened up the reception rooms on the ground floor to provide a large drawing-cum-dining room which can be closed off as necessary.

278

278

279

279

Thanks to the attentions of Nuala, both externally as well as internally, Aghinagh House has been greatly revived; but she has been at pains to ensure that in essence it remains reassuringly recognisable from earlier times, as glimpsed in the 1951 photograph of the Carton De Wiarts outside the house. In the picture, Lady Carton De Wiart poses smiling in Tweed suit and pearls, springer spanel at her feet. Next to her is a welly-clad Sir Adrian, looking down at the ground; dog whistle around his neck, the empty sleeve of his jacket hanging and the famous eye patch just visible under the brim of a hat. As much as it is possible to ascertain from a mere photograph, the couple’s easy posture suggests they were happy at Aghinagh. Their legacy, which Nuala has embraced, is a quietly elegant house sitting contentedly within the lush landscape of its creation.

Twentieth-century Fox A pre-war Manhattan apartment is transformed into a colourful home packed with modern day collectibles.

When MR Architecture and DÊcor was hired by a fashion executive to transform a 3,200 square foot pre-war apartment into a dream home for herself and her new husband, founding partner and president David Mann was excited and inspired. It wasn’t his first job for this client (unusually he had also worked on projects for her parents, brother and aunt in the past) so he not only understood her aesthetic sensibilities, but was also familiar with her colourful and quirky art collection which would become an integral part of this Manhattan home.

The foyer sets the tone from the outset, marrying elegant furnishings with dramatic and tactile surfaces. Waxed black plaster walls and ebony-stained herringbone parquet are the perfect foil to a vintage Art Deco table and hexagonal mirror. A guest closet opens to reveal a fuchsia interior that shocks and delights, while coordinating with the humorous Erwin Wurm trouser sculpture beneath the chunky Venetian glass light.

It’s a warm and witty welcome, the dark and formal styling carefully considered so that the adjoining living and dining room positively pop when you walk in to them. David had fun with scale here, ripping apart the original space to re-configure it for twenty-first century living.

285

285

“Pre-war rooms restrict layout but we wanted to play with that typical chair-sofa-table layout,” David explains. “The couple wanted durable fabrics, yet we have this Yves Klein coffee table in the mix.” Sitting on a black horsehair area rug it’s filled with hot pink pigment, its tones bouncing off the Marilyn prints from Bert Stern’s ‘The Last Sitting’, shot for Vogue in 1962.

The curvaceous chairs are another Deco nod, and sit comfortably with the 60’s sofa, an Ed Worley antique that was reupholstered in silk velvet. “We always bring lots of lamps to try them in a space,” David laughs, “and really liked the slightly unexpected scale of these.” And scale is hugely important to him. “The problem with Manhattan is you don’t get a lot of light. The ceilings here were 9 foot 6, so we raised all the doors from 7 to 8 feet to add a level of grandness.”

286

287

The living room is home to several unusual art pieces, including an embellished taxidermy deer head by artist and animal rights activist Angela Singer and a colourful large-scale composition by Mickalene Thomas, a highly collectible New York artist. This hangs above a transparent Lucite table especially made to hold a giant Mohammad Ali Taschen book. Philippe Starck CafĂŠ chairs are a harmonious addition.

289

289

The adjacent dining room sings with colour, thanks to Pop Art supremo Any Warhol. His Flowers, in a host of colour combinations set the tone for a formal space that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Despite the powerful artworks it’s the dining chairs that steal the show: vibrant robin’s egg-blue patent leather. A 1970’s Venetian glass chandelier and mid-century table balance the eras brilliantly.

Casual dining takes place under the watchful gaze of Warhol’s Uncle Sam, positioned off the kitchen on a wall of brown grass cloth. Saarinen’s iconic table and Tulip chairs were hugely popular in The States in the 1960s and come into their own again in this contemporary home.

They sit comfortably with the streamlined kitchen whose green painted cabinetry is a nice nod to pre-war sensibilities.

Taking ten months to complete, this three-bedroomed Upper Eastside residence was beautifully transformed from dated and dark to sophisticated and relevant. Most impressive of all is the fact that such a broad sweep of twentieth-century design, from 1930’s Art Deco to 1950’s Pop Art and 1960’s Scandinavian furniture all work so harmoniously under the one roof.

That’s down to the good taste of the collectors, and, in no small part, to the expertise of David Mann who brought style and synergy to this family home.

Addition by subtraction The Japanese design tradition of less is more is just one of the global cultural influences woven into the free-flowing spaces of this beautiful London home.

The post-Georgian house which architect and interior designer Shalini Misra shares with husband Rajeev and children Reeva, Rohan and Roshni, is located on a quiet street in leafy St John’s Wood, North West London. Its exterior looks much the same as when the house was constructed for a wealthy Spanish merchant in the middle of the 19th century, but behind the stuccoed double-fronted façade, the interior has been entirely reconstructed to create a spectacular, culturally diverse space, alive with rich colour and texture.

Originally from India, Shalini qualified as an architect before her husband’s job caused the family to move first to New York and then to London in 1996, where she set up her own business, Spatial Innovations, now known as Shalini Misra. The company offers a full design and project management service to clients, including property search – an area in which Shalini has significant personal experience: “For the first few years in London we moved constantly because none of the houses were quite right for us. It took me three years of intense searching to find our house; but I knew immediately that it was the one. And now I can’t imagine living anywhere else – it’s very special.”

301

301

To her delight, the house had hardly been altered since its inception and the only planning restrictions in place were connected to the façade. “This gave me a free hand to open up the interior and embrace the wonderful garden.” Unusually for a central London dwelling, the garden extends 150 feet and is full of mature trees, making it a wonderfully secluded outdoor space. Full height glazing at ground floor and upper ground floor levels has brought both abundant light and views of the garden into the house.

Within, Shalini has created a completely open-plan living space strongly influenced by the Japanese style of architecture – “addition by subtraction” – she calls it. “My aim was to create a flowing series of rooms which were simultaneously uncrowded, yet warm and welcoming. I’ve used glazed sliding doors with blinds throughout which makes the space completely flexible”. Living accommodation is spread over both lower and upper ground floors, connected by a central oak staircase with glazed balustrade which descends over an indoor pebble garden, watched over by a bronze of the Hindu Goddess of the Arts, Sarasvati.

305

305

“As well as creating interplay between cultural influences, I like to mix tactile textures – glass, leather, linen, bronze, granite, oak and so on.

As far as colour is concerned, for the most part I’ve used a basically monochrome palette and introduced strong accents of colour. We also have quite a bit of art, which naturally introduces further colour and texture.” Art is a shared passion for Shalini and Rajeev and the house includes several important pieces such as Anish Kapoor’s hanging gold teardrop and Tony Cragg’s craggy abstract in white wood in the family room which Shalini says everyone feels compelled to touch.

Home is also Shalini’s place of work and she has located her office and studio in the basement at the front of the house. “Basements can be a bit drab, so what I’ve done is to leave the brickwork exposed on the staircase and in the studio to bring in a bit of colour. To liven up the approach corridor, which is very dark, we decorated the end wall with bespoke wallpaper from Brussels and added some complementary chandeliers and Moroccan tiles.” Furniture in the studio has an eclectic vintage vibe with desks fashioned from old iroko wood mounted on sewing table bases, Roche Bobois units and bespoke shelving by Anthony Jackson.

309

309

The upper ground floor terrace is one of Shalini’s favourite places to spend time: “We use the terrace as an extension of our formal drawing room. I spend as much time up here as possible as it’s such an inviting place to be in – you feel completely cocooned by the garden but simultaneously have a wonderful view.” She has furnished the space with an L-shaped sofa strewn with silk and velvet cushions, complemented by orange chairs: “To bringa in some spice”, and a large round B&B Italia chair to curl up in.

The patio below is accessed either via the spiral staircase from the terrace or through the glazed doors of the family room. Arranged on two levels, the garden benefited from the horticultural passion of a former owner of the house and is packed with mature trees and plants which have created a series of secluded areas: “We have a barbeque corner in the garden which seats 12 people and a big trampoline – but both are completely invisible from the house.�

313

313

As many meals as possible are taken on the sunny patio adjacent to the family room on the lower ground floor – another of the benefits of working from home, although Shalini says that these days the volume of work takes her away from the house a good bit: “Some recent projects have included a Grade II listed house in Little Venice London, another house in St Johns Wood with a conservatory extension and double basement, a 14,000 square foot house in New Delhi and a magnificent modern apartment in Mumbai.” She says that her international background has influenced the way she sees things and enables an easy transition between Europe, the US and Asia: “I think I have a good understanding and appreciation of different cultures and their icons. My specialism is in combining shapes and ergonomics with innovative finishes – but my desire is always to deliver the most exciting final result”.

Quooker: The Quooker boiling water tap is one of those rare “must-haves”. If you ask anyone who has a Quooker they’ll often say ‘it’s my most useful and used appliance’.

Switched on more than an oven, hob, dishwasher and easily blowing the blender away. If you think about all the myriad tasks that a Quooker tap can perform it’s really not surprising. For one thing - by dispensing 100°C water - it is the only tap of its kind that replaces that stalwart of the kitchen, the old-fashioned energy greedy kettle. On average a kettle uses the same amount of energy to boil a litre of water as it takes to run a fridge for about seven hours and in the UK we boil our kettle on average four times a day! In contrast using a Quooker, is quick, efficient and instant meaning you use only what you need because the 100°C boiling water is there, ‘on tap’. www.quooker.co.uk info@quooker.co.uk +44 (0)845 190 4008
