elcome to 2024. I hope everyone is well-rested and ready to begin a new year. If you thought 2023 was busy, wait until you hear about all the events for 2024. It begins with the Palm Springs Modernism Show, starting February 15th. Then we are into March with the Corona del Mar Home Show on March 14th, Pacific Design Center’s Spring Market on March 20 and 21st, the Pasadena Showcase in April, and La Cienega Legends in May. We are also always excited for Pacific Design Center’s Fall Market and WestEdge in November.

If that isn’t enough, we can’t forget the events in the San Francisco area, beginning with the Fog Fair in January. Then, events wrap up in October with the iconic SF Fall Show opening gala and a week of lectures. Watch each issue for more information on events.

I hope you enjoy the homes featured in our January/February issue. We have included many of California’s young and innovative designers, including Erinn V. Design, Ann Lowengart, Berry Designs Partner, Ashi Walliany, and Laura Brophy. All have designed homes throughout California, and we are proud to present these five homes, from Modern Mediterranean to Mid-Century and Traditional.

We are thrilled to start the year with our new social media team and website launching the first week of February. Follow us on Instagram for a sneak peek of the new site throughout January.

Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.

PALM SPRING ART MUSEUM In celebration of Albert Frey (1903-1998), Palm Springs Art Museum announced this comprehensive exhibition on the architect’s life and work.

Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Frey had early career successes in Paris and New York before moving to Palm Springs where he realized most of his life work. His unique “simple but severe” style of Desert Modernism cemented Albert Frey his legacy as one of the most influential architects, not only in the Job 31: Hatton Coachella Valley, but also in the United States and the world.

(Raymond) House (Rancho Mirage, CA.), This large-scale retrospective, curated and designed by 1947 Brad Dunning, presents rare and many previously unexhibited architectural models, drawings, films, photographs and furniture. The exhibit runs from January 13, 2024 through June 3, 2024 at the Architecture and Design Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion.

For more information, please visit, psmuseum.org

THE HUNTINGTON –SAN MARINO The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens present Art for the People: WPA-Era Paintings from the Dijkstra Collection, an exhibition of 19 striking works that will be on view through March 18, 2024.

Art for the People explores representational paintings created in the United States between the 1929 stock market crash and World War II. The exhibit focuses on Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) artists of the 1930s and early 1940s who were employed by the government to help stimulate the post-Depression economy. More that 10,000 artists participated, creating works that represented the nation and its people and seeking to express fundamental concerns, basic democratic principles and the plight of the dispossessed.

Art for the People highlights paintings from across the United States, with strong representation by California artists. The exhibit also includes paintings that are often described as American Expressionism or American Scene.

Fashioning San Francisco commences in the early 20th century, a time when San Francisco was regaining its position and redefining itself in the wake of the city’s earthquake and fire of 1906. From here the exhibition continues chronologically to explore how the city’s geographic location contributed to the international trade in the city.

Fashioning San Francisco features gowns, cocktail dresses and evening attire

by European couturiers such as Pierre Balmain and Christian Dior. The exhibit will conclude with a selection of shoes from the museum’s permanent collection.

Calendar | GALLERIES GALERIE XII–SANTA MONICA Paolo Ventura The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls opens at Galerie XII on February 24. For his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, the Milanese artist imagined an original project freely inspired by the Parisian writer Marcel Aye’s short story The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls which was set in the Paris of the 1940s.

Paolo Ventura is a multidisciplinary artist who uses different techniques like photography, collages, painting, sculpture drawing, and scenography to create works in two and three dimensions. For the past twenty years, Paolo Ventura has been pursuing profoundly original works, crossed by a disturbing sensation of timelessness.

Built around images of “invented worlds” or “unrealities,” the story unfolds like a dream, somewhere between imagination and memory.

The exhibit continues through May 6, 2024.

The gallery is located at Bergamot Station Arts Center, B2, 2525 Michigan Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90404. For more information, please call 424.252.9004 or visit galeriexii.com

Adia Millett Empathy (portal), 2023 Acrylic on panel 36 x 36 inches Adia Millett Paradigm Shift, 2023 Acrylic on panel 34.5 x 40 inches

HAINES– SAN FRANCISCO Haines Gallery presents Reflections on Black, the first color exhibition with Oakland-based multidisciplinary artist Adia Millett. Blackness and the subtleties of moonlight inform Millett’s palette in new paintings and glass mosaics that examine our experiences of literal and metaphorical darkness, presenting a shadowy world we navigate through introspection. Reflections on Black asks the questions: What do we see when we close our eyes and when do we choose to close them?

In Millett’s work, images, ideas and materials are taken apart and reassembled, drawing on traditional crafts such as quilting and stained glass. Throughout her practice, Millett establishes conscious links to the past–whether to her ancestors and foremothers or to prior generations of artists and crafters. The exhibit will continue through March, 2024.

The gallery is located at Fort Mason Center, 2 Marina Blvd, Building C, San Francisco, CA 94123. For more information, please call 415.397.8114 or visit hainesgallery.com

HEATHER JAMES FINE ART–PALM DESERT

Florals for Spring, Groundbreaking continues at the gallery through February, 29, 2024. The exhibit asks the question, “Are flowers in art boring and predictable?” Yet flowers have always been a fascinating means for artists to explore deeper questions of humanity. The exhibition reevaluates the role of flowers in art and takes a broader view of their role while also situating them for individual artists.

From ancient Rome and their garden murals to the still lives of the Dutch Golden Age to Contemporary art, flowers have been symbols layered with meaning and questions.

When used as works of art, there is something a bit unnatural about painted flowers, given that these botanic wonders spring from nature. Yet a painted flower “lives” much longer than the organic material. This idea has fascinated artists who mined this gap, whether by grouping flowers and plants that would not normally be in season or bloom at the same time or including nods to the transience of life among as immortal painted arrangement. This exhibit seeks to answer timely questions about floral painting.

The gallery is located at 45188 Portola Avenue, Palm Desert, CA 92260. For more information, please call 760.346.8926 or visit heatherjames.com Paul Wonner Tulips In A Milk Carton 25 x 18 1/2 inches Graphite and watercolor on paper 30 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

Modern Simplicity for the Table, Bed, and Bath

Books REVIEWED BY KATHY BRYANT

City of Dreams: Los Angeles Interiors Text by Annie Kelly Photography by Tim Street-Porter

What a joy it is to look through this book and see iconic homes in the Los Angeles area. As Annie Kelly says in her Introduction, the one thing that ties all these homes together is diversity. She writes, “Los Angles features an incredible variety of housing, ranging from a modern art-filed cube overlooking the ocean in Malibu to an adaptive-reuse loft in a 1929 Hollywood office building to a Venetian Gothic villa sporting a Juliet balcony, complete with a gargoyle.

Her husband Los Angeles’s Street-Porter has been photographing the architecture and interiors of LA for over twenty-five years. They are a formidable team.

This book is divided into two sections: Living with Art and Design and Los Angeles Modern. Author Kelly writes about the historical precedents of these houses and the famous people who live in them.

For example, artist Charles Arnoldi designed a home for his family on the coast of Malibu.

Throughout the house, Arnoldi has hung works by fellow artists who have been longtime friends like an early Frank Gehry pale fish sculpture and a classic by Billy Al Bengsten. Antiquarian Joel Chen blends an eye-catching collection of period furniture and Chinese objets while interior design Jean-Louis Denoit’s house features a Tony Duquette gilded mirror and an abalone shell chandelier.

The renovation of modernist houses is also on view.

Mary Weatherford’s reworking of her A. Quincy Jonesdesigned home, in collaboration with designer Oliver Furth, has an eye-popping orange bedroom.

This book is a must-have for anyone who loves architecture and design. CH City of Dreams: Los Angeles Interiors Text by Annie Kelly Photography by Tim Street-Porter 256 pages Hardcover, 8 1/2 x 11 3/4 inches $65 US ISBN 978-0-8478-9994-4 Rizzoli New York

Kathryn M. Ireland A Life in Design: Celebrating 30 Years of Interiors Text by Kathryn M. Ireland

In this very personal book, Kathryn M. Ireland looks back on thirty years of her career as an interior designer. “A Life in Design is a recollection of residential design projects that have been, in various ways, significant to me,” writes Ireland in the Introduction.

Pictured are twenty of her favorite design homes from the West Coast to the East Coast, as well as Europe, many belonging to A-List celebrities. “As a lifelong movie buff, I have paired each project with the name of one of my favorite films,” she continues. For example, the chapter named LA Story relates the fortuitous meeting she had with actor Steve Martin. He fell in love with a house and garden she designed. “And that is how I fell into my first professional job as an interior designer,” she says.

What a wonderful start to a lengthy career.

The book is organized by location and takes an overview of her varied designs, including her own homes in Los Angeles, London and Southern France. This way of looking at her designs makes it clear how comfortable, colorful and creative the houses are, whether in Venice Beach, East Hampton, London or Normandy. But it’s the personal asides that make the book so readable. One feels almost as if one is talking to her around a table covered with her fabric designs.

A self-taught designer, Ireland feels it was her upbringing in Britain surrounded by antiques and vintage as well as the influence of her mother Lillian where she learned the fundamental understanding of proportion and symmetry and balance. “At the heart of my process are my relationships with my clients. There is always a sense of intimacy and satisfaction in helping families realize and create homes in which to live their lives,” Ireland concludes. CH Kathryn M.

Brutalist Nature

Artisan Chuck Moffit Creates Balance Between Delicate Crafted Detail & Machine

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA-BASED ARTIST and furniture designer Chuck Moffit creates work that marries time-honored techniques with innovative mechanics. His collections balance brutalist processes while incorporating delicate details. Moffit creates his pieces out of glass, steel, bronze, and leather but is not confined by these materials and is engaged in experimenting with unexpected elements. His work often blurs the lines between art and functional furniture.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024 | 41

Notebook | VISIONARY

Moffit has collaborated with artists Ingram Ober and Marisol Rendon-Ober on public artworks for MiraCosta Community College’s San Elijo Campus in Cardiff, California, and the Bayside Fire Station No. 2 in San Diego, California. Moffit’s work has been shown at the Hammer Museum, High Desert Test Sites, Eric Buterbaugh Gallery, JF Chen, and Christopher Grimes Gallery, among others. Moffit was an artist-in-residence at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center’s Arts/Industry at Kohler Co. Moffit received his MFA at Claremont Graduate University, where he focused on sculpture and experimented with steel.

Tibetrious side table

Stratum dining table

The rocky terrain surrounding the artist Mt. Baldy’s studio is a fitting backdrop for his brutalist-inspired work that constantly evolves as he discovers new equipment, techniques, and scale. His unique creations have attracted serious collectors and esteemed interior designers, including Oliver Furth, Kelly Wearstler, Nickey Kehoe, and Suzanne Tucker.

The new armor sideboard represents his creative process of problem-solving, combining machine and well-crafted details. CH

“Often, my favorite pieces have been started without completed drawings. I enjoy creating fragments and backing myself into a corner where there can only be a couple of solutions to pull a work together.

With the Armor sideboard, I made patterns for the bronze doors. Once cast, each weighed 75 pounds.

The heaviness necessitated custom-complex hinges made from machined brass. My process allows me to balance finally crafted details against moments of raw cumulative actions.” – DESIGNER CHUCK MOFFIT

BUTLER ARMSDEN San Francisco-based firm Butler Armsden created this family-friendly space. The swimming pool and grill area are at the front of the house, while the private gym faces the rear yard and overlooks the kid’s play space below.

The hangar door that can be opened rain or shine with sports court material on the outdoor portion doubles the gym’s space. The rowing machine can be rolled out to the deck, along with yoga/mat work and ropes, with the weights and bosu ball placed on the back wall, out of sight while working out. butlerarmsden.com

INTENTIONS The Home Gym can be a Place of Inspiration and Beauty

JON DE LA CRUZ For this bachelor’s exercise room, designer Jon de la Cruz used Benjamin Moore’s Vermillion Red coupled with Maharam’s “Infinity” mural by artist Udomsak Krisanamis. The brilliant cinnabar paint ignites strength and power, passion, energy, and motivation for his daily workouts. The lucky number eight is associated with wealth, prosperity, success, and status and represents infinity or longevity. dlcid.com

KAA DESIGN The primary goal of Grant Kirkpatrick FAIA and the design team at KAA Design was to enable the occupant to connect to the natural world. The large sliding glass pocket walls open the space to create an indoor/outdoor environment, merging the efficient gym with the organic world of gardens, fountains, and the tranquil pool. The subtle but effective recessed lighting, cedar, limestone, and copper create an inviting and relaxing space for working out. kaadesigngroup.com

“Collage III adds another chapter to our collection of natural wallcoverings, each crafted from natural materials such as raffia, sisal, abaca, and banana bark using artisanal techniques. What we tried to create, through texture and design clarity, are wall coverings that can form an intrinsic part of the architectural space not just a decorative layer.”

REBRANDING

EMECO

A Classic Chair Inspires Designers

BY MICHAEL WEBB

THE EMECO 1006 CHAIR has been made from scrap aluminum in the

same Hanover, PA, factory since 1944. It was designed for the Navy, which bought them by the trainload as lightweight, indestructible seating that could survive a storm. A utilitarian classic, its only rival is the Thonet 214 bentwood café chair, first produced in 1859, and still used all over Europe. Other government institutions ordered the Navy Chair but, when Gregg Buchbinder took over from his father as CEO of Emeco in 1998, demand was lagging and the factory was on the verge of collapse.

To generate fresh sales, Gregg took a sample chair to New York to secure orders from architects and retail stores, and there, at a furniture fair, he met Philippe Starck. Over dinner at the Royalton Hotel, the French designer explained that he had always loved the Navy Chair and wanted to create a polished, stackable variant for the Hudson Hotel—the latest of his projects for Ian Schraeger.

The Emeco craftsmen were skilled in fabricating the basic chair in 77 steps but they didn’t know how to polish it, so Gregg invited Harley-Davidson, a near neighbor, to provide a solution.

54 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

Starck’s name put Emeco on the radar for aficionados of design. Terence Conran and Giorgio Armani placed orders, and Ettore Sottsass used the chair in the Esprit stores he was designing. As Gregg explains, “Most companies have an internal design team that can leverage one project into the next, using the same machinery. I wanted outside designers to push us to do something we had never done before.” The company needed new products to survive but it requires an investment of up to a million dollars over two-to-four years to perfect a new design and put it into production. Each new venture is a gamble and those that don’t sell have to be dropped.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: On & On chairs of recycled PET by

Barber & Osgerby; Navy Wood chair by Emeco; Navy Officer chair by Jasper Morrison.

You can now choose from seventy plus variants on the Navy Chair, in different colors and materials, including a swiveling armchair version with a padded seat and back, and a solid-back model by Norman Foster. For a facsimile of the original chair in walnut and oak Gregg reached out to Amish woodworkers in Lancaster, a 90-minute drive away. They had been making their own pieces by hand from salvaged wood for centuries, and the chair they craft for Emeco was launched on the company’s 75th anniversary in 2019. Gregg takes particular pride in the environmental leadership of his firm. It collaborated with Coca Cola to recycle plastic bottles, which are clogging landfills and polluting the oceans. The colorful 111 chair utilizes at least 170 bottles, and Jasper Morrison has designed another side chair using reclaimed wood polypropylene.

It’s inspiring to find such quality products still being made

by American craftsmen in a process that has changed little in 80 years. Still more significant is the way Emeco has drawn in top designers to create a whole range of durable, sustainable furniture: a reproach to industries that profit from cheap, expendable products outsourced to low-wage countries.

MEDITERRANEAN ERINN V. DESIGN GROUP UPDATES A CLASSIC SANTA BARBARA HOME, CAPITALIZING ON THE SITE’S MOUNTAIN & OCEAN VIEWS TEXT ROGER GRODY | PHOTOGRAPHY MEGHAN BEIERLE-O’BRIEN

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024 | 63

N THE HILLS above Santa Barbara, in the unspoiled enclave of Mission Canyon, Erinn V. Design Group has lavishly updated a 1970s residence while retaining its Mediterraneanstyle architecture, a quintessential trademark of the resort community. Erinn Valencich, founding principal of the Beverly Hills-based firm, reports the existing house—it was purchased by the designer and her husband, making this a profoundly personal project—was not taking full advantage of the extraordinary site. “We completely restructured the home, so now every room focuses on the canyon and ocean views,” she says.

Valencich explains that the modern Mediterranean residential architecture of Ibiza, Spain—the fashionable resort town’s homes are distinguished by sleek surfaces and a palette of natural materials—was a strong inspiration for her design of this property. “My firm’s approach

has been described as ‘modern classic,’ resulting in warm, layered homes with very clean lines,” says Valencich, who explains that translates into contemporary environments warmed by natural materials as well as traditional homes freshened with modern elements. “Most importantly, I want our designs to be relaxed and effortless, but I always try to achieve a degree of elegance,” states the designer.

Without compromising the 2,500-squarefoot residence’s Mediterranean architecture, Erinn V. Design Group enclosed an existing front porch to create more interior space, and

added a contemporary-styled wood-clad entryway, evocative of the trendy eatery Nobu Malibu. “I wanted the front entrance to have a strong presence, reinforcing the modern Mediterranean vibe,” reports Valencich.

Beyond its threshold lies a light-filled foyer that previews the home’s emphasis on clean lines and natural materials, with its tumbled Noche travertine flooring extended from the exterior entry. The foyer also reveals a beamed pine ceiling—the handsome element had been painted over by a previous owner—that carries throughout the residence, juxtaposed with contemporary black lighting fixtures.

A classic white backdrop allows the furnishings, art and environment to dazzle, as local natural materials connect the home to its scenic site. Expansive windows treated with the entrepreneurial designer’s own line of shades amplify mountain and ocean views throughout the open-concept floor plan, and outdoor living spaces shaded by citrus, olive and live oak are fully integrated into the design.

The living room gracefully transitions to a dining area with a soaring Santa Barbara sandstone fireplace infusing a hint of rusticity into an elegant setting.

The kitchen, whose countertops and island are clad in Calacatta marble, offers panoramic canyon and ocean views, and an adjoining patio provides opportunities to experience that natural beauty.

The designer selected high-end Monogram appliances—the range sits beneath her own custom plaster hood—with refrigeration units discretely hidden behind custom white oak cabinetry embellished with pulls from Baldwin Hardware’s Hollywood Hills collection by Erinn V.

In addition to copious windows flooding this space with natural light, a private outdoor soaking tub (a textured, contemporary design from Kallista) allows indulgent bathers to fully immerse themselves in the magic of this Mission Canyon site.

“People don’t use tubs that much anymore, but when they do, it should be a special occasion,” suggests Valencich. CH

ANN LOWENGART COLLABORATES ON A MODERNIST ESTATE TEXT KENDRA BOUTELL | PHOTOGRAPHY JOE FLETCHER | STYLING YEDDA MORRISON

S

OMETIMES , a designer secures a project where the stars align. For

designer Ann Lowengart, this happened when she collaborated on a dramatic Sonoma estate with the internationally recognized Field Architecture and national homebuilders Dowbuilt. A triad of butterflyroofed, copper-clad pavilions on a ridge top echoes the property’s red soil and the bark color of surrounding Madrone trees. Lowengart, who maintains studios in Marin County and Palm Beach, selected artisanal furnishings in an earth-bound color palette to complement the modernist architecture, contemporary art, and majestic landscape.

At the same time, the homeowners purchased the bronze sculpture on the credenza by the Indian artist Mrinalini Mukherjee from an exhibition.

Architects Stan and Jess Field pierced the veil between the built and natural worlds throughout the home. Retractable walls, wood finishes, and limestone floors that extend outside to limestone pavers merge interiors with the environment.

Two transparent breezeways connect the three pavilions. One breezeway acts as the foyer, linking the westernmost pavilion that holds the library and living room with the central one for the dining and kitchen areas. Lowengart installed a geometrically formed cedar bench in the entry, allowing the residents and guests to pause and reflect on Sam Perry’s curvilinear sculpture that he fashioned from a fallen tree trunk.

An outdoor pool directs the gaze to the woodlands beyond the adjacent dining pavilion. Field Architecture designed and Dowbuilt crafted the two rectangular dining tables that join to make a single surface. The artisans inlaid the bay laurel wood tops with randomly placed copper cutouts left over from the buildings’ skin. Lowengart surrounded the tables with Scandinavian-influenced dining chairs from Troscan.

A staircase showcases a window wall with a forested view and an installation of Dalit artist Rajyashri Goody’s meandering ceramic work. Lowengart introduced touches of celestial blue elements upstairs in the primary suite. Atelier Février’s wool and silk rug in midnight with rust and white accents ground the sitting nook.

FTER MANY YEARS OF MANAGING

luxury properties on the coast of Orange County for affluent clients, Tobias and Christine Lawry turned to their esteemed luxury home professionals, architect Chris Light, builder Dick Crawford, and designer Frank Berry, to create their midcentury modern gem on the coast in Dana Point.

“Collaborating closely with homeowners Christine and Tobias was pivotal,” noted Chris Light. “Comprehending our client’s vision and values is paramount, as it enables us to create a residence that authentically mirrors their lifestyle. We invest the time and effort required to cultivate this understanding because our clients’ homes should truly reflect their essence.

While we encountered challenges related to style and aesthetics, the journey of transforming our client’s vision into reality and addressing functional concerns through thoughtful design ultimately culminated in this extraordinary project.”

“For this home project, our primary goal was to create an updated open and luxurious feeling home while respecting the charm of the mid-century feel,” says Dick Crawford. “We kept certain elements like large span beams, Ikeler siding, stacked painted brick fireplace and walls and then married them with some structural magic to remove a post at the end of the kitchen island, created clear story wall openings in the living room, and opened roofs areas for skylights which let in tons of light. Then, based on our long relationship with the Lawry’s, we were asked to bring in a level of transformative quality and craftsmanship. We brought their home current with updates to today’s energy efficiency, structural requirements, and ‘Wow factor quality’ while maintaining the vibe of a mid-century lifestyle that they cherish.”

Each detail, carefully considered and flawlessly executed, contributes to the overall sense of refinement and sophistication that permeates every corner of this residence.

“We seamlessly blended architecture and design while maintaining the soul of the home,” remarked Frank Berry of Frank Berry Designs. “The material selections balanced tradition and innovation. Retro-inspired decor, custom lighting, and cherished pieces from Lawry’s collection

elevated the atmosphere, emphasizing quality craftsmanship and energy-efficient choices. From heating to landscaping, the decisions made for this space respected the period’s legacy, making this home a time-honored oasis.”

INTERIOR DESIGNER ASHI WALIANY HELPED CLIENTS REFRESH THEIR SAN FRANCISCO HOME IN AN ESPECIALLY LIKE-MINDED COLLABORATION TEXT DEBORAH KIRK | PHOTOGRAPHY BRAD KNIPSTEIN

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024 | 87

W 88 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

HEN A SAN FRANCISCO COUPLE approached interior designer

Ashi Waliany about reimaging their house in the Lake Street neighborhood, Waliany sensed immediately that this would be a truly creative collaboration. The couple, thirty-something Stanford alumni who work in tech and finance, are avid art collectors with two young children.

They wanted their 3,600-square-foot home to be lighter and more modern—the previous owners had favored darker colors and a moodier atmosphere—which would better reflect their aesthetic sensibility.

Waliany, the founder and principal of San Francisco-based Cusp Interiors, recalls that she and her clients were on the same wavelength from the get-go.

“We started our design process by sourcing inspirational images and pinning them to a Pinterest board,” says Waliany. “And often, my clients would send me the exact same images. It happened with the wallpaper in the dining room, it happened with the marble in the living room. I felt that we were very aligned.”

Waliany, whose background includes working in her family’s restaurant business and earning an MBA from Georgetown before turning exclusively to interior design, focused primarily on the house’s public spaces.

For the living room, she sourced a lightly veined fluted marble, which she placed floor to ceiling to surround the fireplace and television. She had white oak bookcases built in on either side, so the clients could display their small sculptures and other treasured objects. A custom-sized black steel coffee table “grounds the space,” Waliany says, and the gray and white tones throughout—from the sofas to the reupholstered 1950s Italian lounge chairs—create a soothing environment that showcases the artworks.

The dining room features strikingly graphic blackand-white wallpaper from Porter Teleo, a glamorous smoky glass light fixture designed by Gabriel Scott, and a white oak table and black leather chairs from Maiden Home. “Everything in this room is sculptural,” says Waliany. “The room feels modern but also timeless. I don’t think this is a room you would ever get bored with.”

Waliany also designed the entry way, two office spaces, a breakfast nook, a kitchen ”lounge” and the master bedroom. “It was fun to see the evolution of this project,” Waliany says. “In the beginning, my clients were a little color shy, preferring neutrals. But over time they opened up to more colors.” The master bedroom, for example, has lilac, deep purple and orange hues. And a powder room boasts playful Gucci wallpaper and a coordinating pink ceiling.

“My clients and I really understood each other,” Waliany says. “There’s a fun story that illustrates how in sync we were. I’d been following an artist named Carolyn Misterek, who does beautiful paintings in vintage frames. I saw she had a limited release of an oval painting that was perfect for the master bedroom. But when I went to purchase it, within seconds I found it had been bought by someone else.”

As it turns out, her clients beat her to it. “We were both thinking of it for the exact same place in the house, at the exact same time,” Waliany says. “It made me feel great that I could get to this level with my clients. I really treasure and value that.” CH

AURA BROPHY HAD WORKED

a number of times with her client, a residential developer in Corona Del Mar. But their latest project together was going to be different; this was the first time that Brophy’s client asked her to work on a personal project, a home he would live in with his family.

“That made it really special and fun,” said Brophy, founder of Laura Brophy Interiors in Newport Beach. “It was a new build, and we got in at the very beginning and were involved from the ground up.”

Brophy collaborated with her clients - a couple with two young sons - to create their version of a dream home, a 10-square-foot Mediterranean residence with canyon views, tons of natural light,and a uniquely Californian indoor-outdoor vibe. Brophy said that the fact her client was in the construction field was a terrific asset, and helped align the vision for the home.

“We love collaborating with our clients anyway on really making a space theirs,” she said. “In this case, we had such a nice relationship with them anyway, always talking about design and adding various elements of layering. Because he is a developer, it was particularly easy to communicate.”

Brophy also had to find ways to unify the various aesthetics of the husband and wife; he veered towards anything cool and modern, said Brophy, while the wife hoped to incorporate some of her more classical sensibilities.

“We really bridged those two worlds to create what I would call a transitional look,” said Brophy, adding that walls were mostly white, and limestone and other natural textures endowed the home with an uplifting, calming ambiance.

While some pieces were already in the family collection–including a statue in the entrance hall and a deer head in the office–Brophy said she otherwise sourced intriguing art and versatile furnishings for the house.

“I approached it from wanting to create a full sensory experience,” she said, indicating the large scented candles and music speakers throughout to the ability to open up all the doors and windows to induce a resort-like feeling.

The colors in the living room were kept in a palette of fawn/neutral, so the eye extended outwards to the sky.

A sectional was custom-made for the large space–each one extends 12 feet–with two Carrera-marble-topped coffee tables to anchor it.

“It has that luxe-casual vibe,” said Brophy. “You can fit a bunch of kids on it.” Other touches in the living room include an “old-school-feeling” sunstone fireplace and porcelain hand-painted lamps.

While the house is sophisticated and luxurious, Brophy said she strove to imbue it with a feeling of casual living.

Fun additions are a ping-pong table in an indoor-outdoor space, and a room specifically for yoga and meditation.

“Every single space has its purpose,” she said. “It’s a 10,000-square-foot home for a young couple and young kids and I wanted to make sure they enjoyed all of it.” CH
