CLOSET GOALS hink about this: We all start our days from our closets, selecting outfits and accessories that get us through the 9-to-5 and transition into the evening. But, whether traditional or a grand walk-in space, closets tend to be cluttered and disorganized. We tell ourselves that we’ll get around to cleaning it up, but you put it off or habits never stick.

Defining this space – both in terms of appearance and order – has become the pursuit of LA Closet Design CEO and Designer Lisa Adams.

Originally from Honolulu and with multiple graduate degrees to her name, Adams envisions closets as personalized, calming spaces that serve as sanctuaries and set the tone for your day. Her approach is never onesize-fits-all and encompasses multiple services, including designing the closet’s aesthetic character itself, developing a functional organizational system, and providing personal shopping assistance. All spaces LA Closet Design develops are completely customized, with Adams guiding the process from concept through completion. To date, she’s redesigned closet spaces for such A-listers as Christina Aguilera, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crystal, Tyra Banks, Khloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.

Adams further sees closets as an extension of one’s life. In turn, projects begin by taming its often-disordered environment and thinking about how to better utilize the space. But, the room itself reflects the owner’s personality and goals. Adams then works to reimagine it through this lens, injecting glamour for the fashionista, creating a more masculine environment, or establishing a streamlined sense of sophistication. The result transforms it into a bona fide living space that won’t contribute to the amount of stress you experience on a day-to-day basis. ■

AT HOME

GARDEN SPACES ocated in Greenwich, Connecticut, Janice Parker Landscape Architects has built a reputation for their fluid, organic work that connects the indoors with the outside.

In bringing projects to life, Parker treats all clients like members of her team, ensuring communication remains open through the entire process. Yet, while the result beautifies and invigorates the expansive grounds surrounding homes in the Long Island Sound, New York City, and Hamptons regions, technical expertise and absolute precision pull everything together.

For her Contemporary Landscape Project, Parker started with a three-tier model, striving to connect the dwelling with the land and factoring in the homeowner’s needs, the property’s architecture and surrounding nature, and their desired aesthetic. In beginning with these components, Parker sought to create a space that encouraged the client to spent more time in their outdoor environment.

To achieve this, Parker’s team used the lawn to its fullest. However, instead of seeing it as a boundless field of green, they gave it definition – both for visual focus and also to provide young children with a place to play. Yet, because the outside isn’t entirely separate from the home,

Parker connected it through limestone, the patterns utilized for the outdoor terrace, and all other lighting, furnishings, and proportions.

Because homes in this region often have a view of the Sound and its bordering landscape, Parker added a third dimension to her team’s project – enhancing this distant yet stunning scene. From the roof garden on the pool house, the homeowner and any guests can look out to take in the undulating blue water and serene, if not occasionally vibrant, sky. www.JaniceParker.com ■

AT HOME

OUTDOOR SPACES lso along Long Island Sound, Parker’s firm started their Beauty at Home project with a rectangular, level piece of land in Darien, Connecticut. The owner sought to have a vivid, contemporary landscape that interacted with the property’s architectural design yet offered a space for year-round use. The client additionally wanted to carve out a garden play space for their children and incorporate privacy screening.

To realize this vision, Parker developed multiple points of interest, seating and dining areas, and dedicated recreation spaces, connecting them with stone paths and terraces, lines of hydrangeas and evergreens, and sections of grass in an almost geometric formation. However, plants soften the defined edges, while a fish pond surrounded by flower and herb gardens turns into both a facet of the landscape and a practical feature.

In thinking about its all-season design, orchard apple trees add color and bear fruit once fall arrives. For privacy, crabapple trees stand tall while adding a secondary level to the landscape and, in the process, help camouflage the surrounding privacy fencing. www.JaniceParker.com ■ photo credit: Photographer Neil Landino Jr.

Gucci Heron Print Wallpaper Since Alessandro Michele steered Gucci in a more colorful, retro-leaning direction, its biannual collections have popped with bold prints and intricate ornamentations and have achieved a flamboyant timelessness that nods to a more experimental era without losing its present sense of self. This wallpaper translates that magnanimity with a mural-like print of herons on a coral pink background, rendered with an intense amount of detail.

Williams Sonoma Aerin Coral Wall Mirror With a texture reminiscent of sea coral washed up on the shore, this mirror’s frame has a wavy, fluid three-dimensional pattern that appears stuck in time for a brief moment. Part of a collection Williams Sonoma did with lifestyle expert Aerin Lauder, this mirror, designed to be hung horizontally or vertically, fits right into a coastal-styled space.

DESIGNER

World Class Architect Paul McClean The Irish-born architect Paul McClean has made a name for himself

designing homes for A-list celebrities. With a multi-decade career behind him and more momentum to go forward, McClean recently let out some of his secrets and tactics with book McClean Design: Creating the Contemporary House, written by Philip Jodidio and offering a behind-the-scenes look at 15 years of projects.

Following graduation, McClean moved to Southern California, and after working for several architectural firms there, he formed his own company in 2000. Now one of the region’s leading firms, McClean Design has created properties for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Calvin Klein, and the Winklevoss twins, and conceptualized The One – with an asking price of $500 million, it’s one of the most expensive homes built to date. While McClean Design primarily focuses on the Southern California region, their mark can be seen overseas in Canada, England, and Thailand.

Putting together projects of this scope is never a one-man – or even a single-team – operation. It’s a collaborative effort between multiple skilled parties. Ensuring all projects meet the client’s expectations, McClean has developed lasting relationships with top builders and designers over the course of his career.

Beyond appearances and amenities, McClean Design strives to break down the division between luxurious modern living and the surrounding natural environment. Projects create fluidity between the interior and outdoors, utilizing water inside or enhancing the view while bringing in natural light with window glazing systems. ■

All of the playroom designs are customized to the children’s ages, interests, strengths and needs. Yet, if you have a child who’s set on climbing everything in the home, a play space can take this aspect into account. Here, Smart D2 blended a rock climbing wall, monkey bars, swings, and bean bags to meet their level of energy and exploration and to further provide some variety. Smart D2 Playrooms is an award-winning collaboration between educator Karri Bowen-Poole and designer Denise Davies. smartplayrooms.com ■

DESIGNED FOR KIDS mart D2 Playrooms is an award-winning collaboration between educator Karri Bowen-Poole and designer Denise Davies. Their colorful, detailed spaces intertwine form and function, with the goal of creating an area for open-ended and educational play. Meeting initially on Instagram, their project kicked off in 2020, and to date, their highly interactive playrooms utilize a Montessori model to get kids using their five senses.

The spaces’ visuals and versatility come courtesy of Davies’ background. In 2010, she started her own design firm, D2 Interieurs, known for its vivid, colorful projects. Bowen-Poole, meanwhile, earned a Master of Arts in Education and has been designing play areas since 2012. In merging their experiences, Smart D2 Playrooms take into account key developmental stages, encourage communication and social skills, and grow with the child.

Illustrating this transitional aspect, playrooms aren’t strictly for toys.

Sitting, reading, and study areas pop with color and patterns, and have ample square feet for their current interests – be it a large-size puzzle, art project, or, seen here, pool and space to mingle with friends. The centralized table allows them to pursue their interests and can be transitioned into a study or workspace later. smartplayrooms.com ■

PORCH DESIGN

32 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com

esigning both commercial and residential spaces, Andrea Schumacher, who started her own eponymous company in 1999, incorporates a range of influences into her projects.

Schumacher is highly influenced by the world surrounding her and all the emotions it brings, and factors in her travels.

At the same time, whatever she designs, she plans it in accord with the surrounding environment. All of these elements emerge from this outdoor living space, which the client sought to have created for dining and socializing. Wood textures, through exposed boards, make up its backbone, evoking a rustic character that complements and reflects the forest landscape just footsteps away.

Within this framework, Schumacher adds a certain kind of rugged elegance and blends in adaptability for the occasion. Two corner sectionals, each complete with an aluminum cocktail table, offer enough seating and provide an open yet intimate environment for social gatherings. The eight-foot antiqued teak dining table, with a trestle base, is ready for sit-down dining with an accompanying bench, two captain’s chairs, and four custom stools with patterned upholstery.

Colorful pillows and a Safavieh area rug with a mosaic-like pattern make the outdoor area feel cozy and comfortable at any time of the year.

Yet, almost counteracting this, weathered pine and aged metals add a raw yet nonetheless sophisticated finish. â– Designed by Andrea Schumacher

REAL ESTATE NEWS

A Transforming Luxury Real Estate Landscape written by: Robert Altshuler, Esq. Founder and Lead Real Estate Agent of Valley Luxury Partners, Arizona

The global pandemic has changed buying and selling luxury real

estate. These changes are particularly evident for out-of-state buyers looking for second homes or to relocate from densely populated regions to areas with single-family properties and land. These changes bring benefits and risks to the luxury market.

Although the shift to digital transactions and technology-based or small-crowd interactions is not new to top luxury real estate agents, the surge of COVID-19 has accelerated the use of these best practices in luxury real estate. In terms of marketing, while high-end video and photography have been the norm in the luxury space for some time, these techniques are now being used more widely in the industry.

Pre-crisis, face-to-face interaction was still a part of the equation.

What is new in the post-COVID-19 environment is the desire to

34 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com

close a luxury property in a completely digital manner, sight-unseen, with the subsequent purchases of multi-million dollar estates being transacted using digital technology.

Virtual reality has become more user-friendly as technology evolves. Luxury buyers can view 360-degree virtual tours on their electronic devices and curate a portfolio of properties from afar. Tools like DocuSign replace paper contracts and remote notarization creates a true digital closing process. This adoption of digital technology in the closing process is here to stay and the ease with which luxury real estate transactions can be consummated is a benefit to all.

The question remains whether buyers or sellers are well-served to use digital technology in lieu of actually visiting a property. Real estate, particularly the luxury space, tends to be a tactile experience where textures and finishes must be appreciated in-person to truly determine if a property is suitable for purchase.

As a luxury real estate agent and real estate attorney, I am sensitive to the legal risks associated with remote buying and selling, and the new contract provisions being created by real estate associations.

These COVID-19 amendments can have unintended consequences in shifting risk from one party to another. Contact our office for any questions or related real estate needs. valleyluxurypartners.com | info@valleyluxurypartners.com â–

The Man in Demand | Jim Jordan Celebrity Fashion Portrait Photographer

Today,

Jim Jordan is one of the most sought-after celebrity photographers, shooting portraits of A-list stars and destination properties across the globe. The Southern California native’s career started off modestly: At a young age, he searched the beaches, area schools, and surf contests for the next potential supermodel, before styling their hair and makeup, photographing them, and connecting his talent with the world’s premier modeling agencies.

His eye for spotting the next big thing took him to Europe, where he became the go-to hair and makeup artist for the continent’s top photographers and magazines. His reputation led to working with Elizabeth Taylor, Whitney Houston, Farrah Fawcett, and supermodels Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington, and his work was showcased in Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and global advertising campaigns.

Helping Jordan refine his eye for beauty and detail, his career had him working with and learning from such prominent photographers as Helmut Newton, Bruce Weber, Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, and Patrick Demarchelier. Through their influence and mentorship, Jordan developed his own style as a photographer and creative director and soon drew his own set of clients.

36 | www.ClienteleLuxury.com

Jordan transitioned from a behind-the-scenes professional to a prominent director and photographer who worked on campaigns and for magazines on a global scale. During this stage of his career, he lived in both Los Angeles and New York, and this allowed him to shoot for Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, and Vanity Fair, and photograph Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron, Drew Barrymore, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, and Mila Kunis, among other A-list stars. As well, his vision assisted with rebranding efforts for American Express, Mercedes Benz, J. Crew, BMW, Coca Cola, City Bank, Visa, CrossFit, Reebok, and Brooks Brothers.

As perhaps his third act, Jordan launched a luxury brand called White Cross Collections, itself encompassing a talent management company, agency, and cosmetics brand. Building upon his decadeslong career, Jordan’s White Cross Management has served as a platform for today’s top talent, including Taylor Hill, Gigi Hadid and Jeremy Meeks. White Cross is always on the search for the next major influencer, model, actor, or singer, and from here, connects these emerging stars with the brands or agencies that will take their careers to the next level. ■ jimjordanphotography.com | @jimjordanphotography

his Mediterranean style home designed by Mark Weaver and Associates located in Beverly Hills features priceless views from the city to the ocean. The outdoor spaces include a pool, koi pond, terraced rose garden, vegetable garden and fountains. Outdoor tips from Mark Weaver include to study the spaces around your outdoor patios as much as possible, and select furnishings that are truly comfortable but yet have character. For this home, he selected items that created the feel of a Tuscan villa, such as the large vases that flank the pool. When you have amazing views to work with, you do not want the pieces you choose to detract from them.

For that reason, you will notice the furniture he used is simple, clean and elegant. The pièce de résistance is the pergola which shades the seating area. It provides a romantic feel, architectural interest and is the perfect spot for lounging. There is nothing like dining Al Fresco to make you feel like you have escaped to Italy. It is also a wonderful way to enjoy the Southern California weather and an ideal setting for sharing a meal with family and friends. The most important thing to keep in mind when creating your outdoor sanctuary is that it reflects your personal style to enjoy. Mark Weaver & Associates, www.markweaver.com ■

TOP VACATION HOMES FOR SALE

ust a couple of words used to describe the award winning George A. T. Roberts house, a circa 1900 historic home. Totaling 4 bedrooms & 4.5 bathrooms, including the pool house & guest cottage, it's been restored with an easy elegance. A classic Queen Anne beauty, it is one of the special ones & sits on a huge 9,573sf double lot in the heart of the Old Town Historic Seaport District. Upon entering the grand foyer you will find the staircase, open living room, bay windows, dining room & den/library all with high ceilings and Dade County pine throughout. Enjoy a spacious and updated gourmet kitchen, perfectly placed and opening onto a glorious outdoor covered porch that spans 34' X 16' (across the entire width of the home) with ample seating areas and views of the enormous pool, outdoor kitchen and gardens. Entertain your guests at the pool side bar, sun bathe on the expansive bricked patios & relax on one of the seemingly endless porches. Beyond the pool is a charming efficiency cottage with a loft & it's all just steps from the sights and activity of the Historic Seaport & nightlife of Duval Street, with private parking in the rear for 3 cars. â– www.ClienteleLuxury.com | 59
