DESIGN ALCHEMY
JAMES MICHAEL HOWARD reveals the secrets of his emotionally immersive interiors in his first book, Atmosphere
MAX KIM-BEE
Written by ELIZABETH RALLS
WHETHER IT’S MESMERIZING PATTERN, captivating art, soothing hues or commanding architecture, the overall feeling that a room conveys, says celebrated interior designer James Howard, is also known as “atmosphere.” Carefully considered design elements, of course, are ultimately responsible for conjuring that unmistakable appeal, but to the average eye, that evocative feeling might also prove transformative, transportive or even something more akin to alchemy. In his debut book, Howard—who along with his equally respected decorator wife, Phoebe, owns and operates successful interiors stores and designs a signature product line—explores this idea of emotionally immersive interiors. “Even as it excites, atmosphere also soothes, offering an overall feeling of wellbeing and calm,” writes Howard. Here, the interior design great gives us an exclusive first look into Atmosphere: The Seven Elements of Great Design. 23

“THE WINE AUCTION HAS A VERY DEEP PERSONAL CONNECTION FOR US, SO WHEN WE WERE ASKED TO BE THE VINTNER CHAIRS, IT WAS A RESOUNDING ‘YES’.” —BOO BECKSTOFFER

clockwise, from left To create a sense of ease, Aarati and Peter opted for a “rustic chic” look, mixing wood furnishings with floral arrangements by Unique Floral Expressions. “The evening winds up being this really fun dinner of a few dozen people who all have the same goal of supporting the museum’s wine auction,” says Aarati. The first course: Hamachi crudo, with kosho aioli, paprika pickled mushroom and meyer lemon marmalade.
And the Beckstoffers had a special treat for everyone in attendance; partygoers were among the first to sample Tuck Beckstoffer Estate’s newly debuted Mockingbird Cabernet. Also served was the Beckstoffers’ beloved Hogwash rosé, which— fittingly—was originally created for the High Museum more than a decade ago, when the Beckstoffers designed a custom wine for a whole-hog barbecue with Atlanta chef Linton Hopkins. “Out of any wines that we make, that has the deepest Atlanta connection, and we are always indebted to Atlanta for inspiring that wine,” Boo says. “It was truly a full-circle moment to be able to be the Vintner Chairs and to share what we do now as adults with a place that means so much to me. It was really heartwarming to have that kind of homecoming and gratifying to share our labors of love, our wines, with Atlantans.” 39

Pop of Pretty “While Jane has a vast collection of blueand-white porcelain, she also had plenty of Imari, so we pulled the salmon hue from that porcelain to mix in with the blue and white color scheme,” says interior designer Lauren DeLoach. “Jane and I both love checks, so they are sprinkled throughout the rooms.”
S
SOME OF US HAVE THE GREAT FORTUNE of absolutely loving pieces that are handed down from family members, and Jane Hight is one of those lucky ones. She grew up with her mother’s and grandmother’s vast collections of blue-and-white and Imari porcelain—pieces that made a lasting impression and informed her decorating choices early on. Having served as the accountant for interior designer Lauren DeLoach for several years, it was natural for Hight to enlist the designer’s help when decorating her home. “I love Lauren’s style, and it was natural for us to work together from the start on this new house,” says Hight. “I know what I like, but not how to put it all together which Lauren is brilliant at doing. Also, we are both decisive and that made the process so enjoyable.” When it came to a color palette, the pair looked no further than Hight’s beloved family porcelain. “While we knew we would use blue, finding the right shade took some study,” says DeLoach. “We didn’t want a toosaturated hue, but we didn’t want it too pale. We also needed another color to add punctuation marks here and there, so the salmon hue came from the Imari porcelain.” DeLoach used that shade in living room pillows and for the dining room chair fabric. “In the dining room, we chose a washed-out coral linen damask for the window treatments—it’s less formal than traditional damask, so it brought a lighter note in the space.” 101

“They’re a wonderfully welcoming family, so you’ll always find the children’s friends hanging around, and the dogs are likely running back and forth in the background,” says the designer. “There’s a great interconnectedness between the rooms on the first floor, which makes it a really ideal space for gathering.” Keeping in mind what initially attracted the Drury family to Shady Oaks Farm, a deep front porch overlooking the horse pastures and riding arena serves as the home’s most prized feature. “It was the best feeling when Cheryl thanked John [Bynum] and I for building her dream home,” says Hirsch. “We ended up giving her exactly what she wanted. They can sit on the porch of their forever home and watch their girls ride. It’s really an idyllic scene.” See Resources, Back of Book.
Pretty + Practical Durable brick pavers in the multipurpose laundry room are equal parts charming and functional. The window treatments feature a Cowtan & Tout fabric and the backsplash is Walker Zanger.

WELLNESS FOR THE WIN
At the ultra-private, adults-only Nayara Springs, unwinding to the sounds, sights and beauty of the surrounding Costa Rica rainforest is a cinch THERE ARE FEW PLACES in the world that seem more like a tropical hideaway than a five-star resort, and Costa Rica’s Nayara Resorts falls into this category. Situated in the pristine rainforest of the Arenal Volcano, the boutique hotel takes the national slogan, “Pura Vida,” (translation: simple life), to new heights thanks to an authentic wellness experience that leaves visitors no choice but to unwind and be at one with their lush, natural surroundings. A collection of two properties, Nayara Resort, Spa & Gardens and Nayara Springs (the two are connected by footbridge), the adults-only Nayara Springs is romantic in the sense that it affords the utmost in privacy, yet immersive enough to prod guests out 136

of their cocoons and into the ecosystem of glorious biodiversity that exists just outside the walls of its 35 private villas. And by cocoon, we mean lofty casitas complete with private plunge pools fed by natural mineral hot springs; a private garden with dual rain showers; indoor and outdoor sitting areas; and a sleek, four-poster bed. Nayara’s native residents—sloths, more than 20 species of frogs, howler monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, even bats—are friendly neighbors at the Relais & Châteaux property. Meet some of these creatures up close through the resort’s guided walking tours (we recommend Juan Pablo). Thanks to optimal elevation, living off the land is a cinch, and Nayara takes full advantage with its wellness offerings. Mud from the Arenal Volcano is sourced for its signature volcanic mud spa treatment; who needs a “spa” soundtrack when your massage takes place in an open-air hut, and the only beats around are from the nearby waterfall and tropical birds flitting? Tropical fruit and herbs for fresh-pressed juices and daily fruit plates are sourced from its on-site garden; restaurants like Mis Amores put the American notions of farm-to-table to shame. Pura vida; this is one getaway you can’t get away from. nayarasprings.com
