Our diverse lineup, which spans a variety of styles, design philosophies and aesthetics, will leave everyone feeling inspired. To learn more about the designers, pick up a copy of TRIBEZA’s January Interiors Issue, on stands now. G U I D E B O O K P H OT O G R A P H S BY C H E L S E A L A I N E F R A N C I S

Merrill Alley: “I particularly love the master bedroom and bathrooms in these homes.” Shannon Stott-Sosa: “Since these are typically used as mini-hotels, we were able to create an experience out of the design, going bold with wallpaper, tile and furniture. Though, I know that everyone would be totally open to a ‘Treat Yo’self’ neon sign in their living room.”

URBANSPACE INTERIORS’ Merrill Alley and Shannon Stott-Sosa were both destined to be designers. “I come from architect/ designer parents so you could say the love of design is in my blood,” says Alley. It’s a sentiment Stott-Sosa echos: “My father is a carpenter, so I grew up around houses under construction.” After graduating from the
Urbanspace URB ANSPACE 52 WALLER ST UNITS A+ B
University of Kansas and Texas State University, respectively, Alley and Stott-Sosa forged careers that eventually brought them to Urbanspace, one of Austin’s premier real estate and interior design firms. This year, Urbanspace is featuring two east side properties that showcase the firm’s modernmeets-chic aesthetic.

“While in most areas I added my own flair and signature style, I also compromised with my husband. My closet and the guest house - these are the main two areas where I didn’t have to consult or negotiate with [anyone].”

“I have a bit of a tile obsession and had a lot of fun picking out tile for my house. I also love the back window wall. Before, [there was a] single set of French doors and huge fireplace that cut out the view to the backyard. I am still amazed at the transformation.�

“This home has some great references to 1930s designer William Haines (an American actor and interior designer my client has long admired). The references are subtle, but direct, so I’ll let readers see if they can spot them while they are on the tour!”

GROWING UP BETWEEN Belgium and the U.S., interior designer Lieve Saether was raised by an artistic family who emphasized the importance of “boundary-less thinking on art, space, and everyday objects.” Says the designer, “The art of not only beauty, but quality, craftsmanship and origin have always been essential to me. As an art history and fine arts major attending university in Brus-

sels, in a way it was inevitable that I became an interior designer.” Along with her husband and two children, Saether moved to Austin in 2007 where she launched Turnstyle Design.

“This project has many unique wall treatments. The powder bath has a stunning charcoal sequin wallcovering and their daughter’s bedroom has a playful Indian motif with elephant paper from local designer Katie Kime. There is also a wall of glass in the back with the 15-foot steel dining window flanked by sliders on either side.“

AFTER INTERIOR DESIGNER Amy Lutz graduated from Abilene Christian University with a degree in fashion merchandising, she quickly garnered a reputation for creating stunning visual displays. “I realized I had a knack for visual displays which lead me to start my own business in golf merchandising,” says Lutz. “I did buying and visual merchandising for several golf pro shops in the

Dallas-Fort Worth area until I took the head buying position at Austin Country Club in late 2000.” For the past 15 years, Lutz has been working with clients to craft beautiful — yet functional — interiors.

“I’m not afraid to take risks and make bold, unusual choices. You’ll find traditional prints by Peter Max and Norman Rockwell next to contemporary, bright abstracts and modern black and white photography. I like to support Texas artists and recently commissioned a colorful abstract from Jerry Cabrera for my entryway to set the mood for the whole house.”

ALLISON CRAWFORD’S CAREER has had a decidedly interesting trajectory. After graduating from Southern Methodist University, Crawford landed a job working on Wall Street. Unhappy and creatively unfulfilled in her marketing gig, she enrolled at New York University to study design. After moving to Austin, she renovated her first home in 2005. Since then, her business has grown thanks

to a close-knit community and referrals from previous jobs. Says the designer, “I’ve actually moved to Austin three times. Opportunities take me to other cities, but I always come back to this vibrant city! I love the diversity and the support of creative entrepreneurs.”

“Lisa has a fabulous Cape Buffalo mount that her husband’s grandmother shot in Botswana when she was in her 70s. It needed more prominence, so I took the existing fireplace, surrounded it with additional paneling, added an antique mirror above the mantle and built a custom frame around the mirror.”

Though she has lived in Colorado, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, Ellis eventually re-

turned to Texas in 2010 to raise her family — and build her business. “We wanted to be near family, in a place that was laid back, outdoorsy, beautiful, but at the same time emerging,” she explains. Like Austin, Ellis’ business has also grown thanks to her penchant for timeless design and an incredible pedigree. In addition to her work as an in-demand interior designer, Ellis also recently opened JAMES, a showroom in the heart of downtown’s Design District.
