EDITOR’S LETTER

Change Is in the Air The adages “Some things never change” and “Change is a good thing” seem somewhat at odds, but the selling points of both became quite clear to me on a recent trip to Paris. It had been nearly two years since I last traveled outside the country, and the City of Light was putting on a show—emerging admirably and carefully from under the pandemic’s oppressive thumb, and dazzling as always with museum shows and memorable meals. Pass sanitaires on our phones, we joined throngs of locals and tourists to view the 16-day-long Christo installation at the 200-year-old Arc de Triomphe, mesmerized by its tricky engineering and strangely blocky beauty. And a day or two later, we took a stroll (as we do on every trip) through the nearly 400-year-old Palais-Royal, where Daniel Buren’s 1985–86 art installation is still holding its own inside the hallowed courtyard. I realized I have come to think of the Buren columns as a natural part of the Palais-Royal’s landscape, something I can always count on, and yet the ephemerality of the Christo work was just as evocative and moving. After two years marked by monumental change, and in some ways not much change at all, it felt good to travel again. And also to come back home. Happy holidays to you and yours.

We’ll Always Have Paris Twice as nice: Les Deux Plateaux, aka the “colonnes” of Daniel Buren, at the Palais-Royal (above), and Christo’s L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped (right).

LETTER FROM THE CEO

@cottagesgardens

Next year, HC&G will be kicking off its 20th anniversary, a milestone which has made us realize that a successful brand is not just a name, a logo, a tagline, or a visual, but rather, as Minling Chuang says in Brand Fame, a deep connection that hinges on trust and an emotional bond. ■ For many years, I’d race out East from the city in anticipation of picking up the newest issue, knowing that this was no ordinary magazine. Anchored by superb design reportage, it takes a stand, has a strong point of view, and is dedicated to quality. The bond I felt with Cottages & Gardens publications became so strong, it drove me to acquire the company’s titles in 2009, even as the recession and the “demise” of print loomed large. ■ Soon after, I toured a beautiful Hamptons home decorated by designers Austin Handler and Jennifer Mabley, who thanked me for buying the magazine, adding how much they loved it and how important it is to design professionals. This feedback has become familiar, and I never tire of hearing it. Readers are evangelists, and no brand achieves lasting success without them. ■ HC&G was created to feature gorgeous homes, and it is still the only design magazine in the Hamptons, referred to in the media as the “gold standard” under the superb editorship of Kendell Cronstrom. Let’s face it: Print media has become a luxury: It’s more expensive to purchase, due to the cost of the paper and the printing process itself, and not everyone can afford it. But as our publisher, Pamela Eldridge, points out, our readers value the luxury design content, collect the issues, and just can’t throw them away. ■ Next year, please join us as we celebrate 20 years of great design in the Hamptons.

Party Time HC&G publisher Pamela Eldridge and our entire company are revving up for the magazine’s 20th anniversary next year.

M arianne H owatson CEO/Publication Director mhowatson@candg.com P.S. Speaking of anniversaries, HC&G’s sister publication NYC&G turns 10 years old in March!

OUR CROWD

ARTHUR GOLABEK

When he was just 18, Sag Harbor–based floral designer Arthur Golabek moved from Poland to New York and kicked off his career at the city’s famed Ronaldo Maia Flowers. For this issue’s “Gardening” column (page 36), he offers holiday decorating advice, suggesting that people decorate “not just for themselves, but for others, too, whether it’s minimal or over the top.”

In Poland, he adds, “the holidays were a little different. Santa Claus comes with gifts on December 6, and we don’t decorate the tree until Christmas Eve.”

ALICE GARRETTI

For this issue’s “Viva Italia!” (page 60), Alice Garretti drew heavily on her Italian heritage to put together a sumptuous meal suited for the holidays or virtually any time of year. As the director of catering at the New York–based events firm Acquolina, which was founded by her mother, the Milan-born Garretti says, “The elegant simplicity of Italian cooking is part of my upbringing. My mother has always loved to host, entertain, and share delicious food with family and friends. Any excuse is valid for a fabulous dinner.”

A vet of decorating showhouses, photographer Anastassios Mentis documented both last year’s Hampton Designer Showhouse in addition to the 2021 edition, a 22-page extravaganza that begins on page 76.

During the 2020 shoot, he recalls, “we were faced with stricter limitations and challenges because of COVID19. This year, there was a lot more freedom, and the energy was more uplifting than ever. The showhouse is like Oscar night for all the designers. Every time I photograph it, I gain more knowledge and inspiration.” —Shannon Assenza

SIX SENSATIONS

34

“Whether you have just 20 seconds or a leisurely 20 minutes, this book is meant to be an escape,” says architect Thomas Kligerman, author of As I See It: A Life in Detours (Triglyph, $18), a thoughtful collection of stories and iPhone photos from his travels far and wide.

The Well-Loved House (Rizzoli, $50) “is a testament to the way I grew up, really living in, enjoying, and loving our house,” says author Ashley Whittaker, a decorator based in Millbrook. “Entertaining friends with a sense of ease was a way of life.”

“Going on safari plugs us back into the wild and offers a new perspective on living with nature,” says Melissa Biggs Bradley, the founder of Indagare and author of Safari Style (Vendome, $75). “This book celebrates the positive power of tourism and how travel matters.”

On the occasion of the publication of Vaux-leVicomte: A Private Invitation (Flammarion, $85), Alexandre de Vogüé, whose family owns and resides at the legendary French chateau, says, “Vaux is about beauty and harmony—at dawn, during the day, at twilight, and during all different seasons of the year.”

Although he is based in London, photographer Simon Upton has shot some of the Big Apple’s most impressive residences, many of them collected in New York Interiors (Vendome, $75). The city, he says, “has become a familiar friend, the kind you know well enough to stay with when you’re visiting.”

In the pandemic’s early days, Charlotte Moss asked movers and shakers to answer the question “What Is Home to You?” The answers are compiled in Home: A Celebration (Rizzoli, $45), which benefits the nonprofit No Kid Hungry. The goal, Moss says, was “to bring one community together to help another community in need.”

elements of nature and asymmetrical details. I also love doing wreaths indoors, where I’m not limited to weather-safe materials. I can use preserved or dried materials and other items that aren’t rainproof.

Share a good idea for a nontraditional holiday table.

Cover your table with a green tablecloth, then top it with Thuja, a flat-leafed evergreen. Add simple white tableware, white candles, and good silverware, and you’ll have a glittery winter wonderland. For the Jewish holidays, I suggest adding lots of silvers and blues for a shimmery forest effect.

your garlands outside, but filling a simple crystal vase with a single variety of flowers indoors. Outdoors, why not leave tiny lights on evergreens, such as junipers, well into March? Then you can underplant them with tulips or other spring-blooming bulbs as the weather starts to warm.

How do you like to decorate outside?

Traditional wreaths of eucalyptus and holly are always great, especially hanging on the windows. I also like small, potted evergreen trees flanking the front door, a thick garland around the door frame, and a wreath studded with tiny twinkling lights.

What about ideas for the winter, after the holidays have passed?

Go super simple and minimal, maybe leaving

I started out working for Ronaldo Maia Flowers on the Upper East Side. During the holidays, from mid-November to Christmas Eve, it was a major production—we’re talking hours and hours of hot glue! We’d pick a fantasy theme and create intricate decorations for tabletop trees, wreaths, and garlands. One year, they were totally covered with candies, and another year we had a safari theme, with lions and tigers. People collected the little trees and put them throughout the house. Every season was special and different, which is the whole point of the holidays to begin with. —Alejandro Saralegui

Lotsa Pasta On Long Island’s East End, a pair of brothers churn out oodles of noodles

ike many startups, what began as a “Let’s see what happens” project has mushroomed into a thriving business for Southampton-based brothers Dylan and Sean Carroll. In May 2020, when both found themselves out of work due to COVID-19, they set out to make air-dried, bronze-extruded pasta similar to the type perfected in Gragnano, Italy, a suburb of Naples. Their inspiration: childhood memories of cooking with their Italian immigrant grandparents in Astoria and frequent trips to visit relatives in Sicily and Lake Garda.

Initial recipe testing took place in their mother’s Southampton kitchen, which they quickly outgrew. “We drove our mother crazy,” Dylan recalls, “scattering flour and semolina everywhere. We knew it was time to start using a commercial kitchen.”

With the help of an imported Emiliomiti la Monferrina P6 pasta machine and lots of experimentation, L’Acquolina (“mouthwatering” in Italian) was born. Today the brothers produce their small-batch pastas out of a communal kitchen at the East End Food Institute in Southampton, using local grains, particularly stone-milled whole-wheat flour, from Amagansett’s Amber Waves Farm. After blending the grains with imported Sicilian durum semolina, they add water and process

it in an 80-quart Hobart mixer until it has the texture of wet sand. “We generally mix the flour for about 15 minutes,” Dylan says, “making sure there’s a consistent hydration throughout the dough.” The mixture is then poured into the pasta extruder and forced through bronze dies that create a variety of different shapes. There is no need for eggs in L’Acquolina’s vegan pasta, Dylan adds, because “of all the binding that happens as the machine forces the dough through the bronze dies. The heat and immense pressure are what make the unique shapes.”

Longer-strand pastas, such as mafalde (named for Princess Mafalda, daughter of King Victor Emmanuel III), are hand-cut as they emerge through the dies. “There’s a rhythm to the process,” explains Sean, who is also a musician, “and you have to allow for imperfections in length.”

Each batch of dough generally produces 30 to 40 pounds of pasta, which is then packaged by the pound in compostable plant-based-plastic boxes marked with a “use by” date. In addition to being sold online and at farmers markets, L’Acquolina pastas have recently been showing up on the menus of popular Hamptons restaurants such as Nick & Toni’s and Almond. Further experiments on the horizon include pastas made with Amber Waves’s culinary rye. “It was once used as a cover crop to replenish soils,” says Dylan, “but now it’s being milled for consumption. And it’s super delicious.” —Doug Young

DEEDS DON’TS THE INSIDE SCOOP ON REGIONAL REAL ESTATE Special Delivery Amazon’s executive chairman, Jeff Bezos, has snapped up four floors of a converted residential tower near Madison Square Park.

november/december 2021

Like a good Amazon customer, Jeff Bezos has been shopping up a storm, most recently paying $23 million for a 4,155-square-foot fourbedroom at 212 Fifth Avenue, a former office building near Madison Square Park where the e-commerce titan already owns the triplex penthouse and two units below it. This brings his total investment in the prewar structure—renovated in 2018 by Helpern Architects and interior design firm Pembrooke & Ives— to about $119 million for 24,551 square feet. Presumably, he will combine the four apartments into one mega-mansion, an easy commute to the Amazon offices in the former Lord & Taylor flagship, which the company bought from WeWork in early 2020 for around $1 billion.

Bezos isn’t the only savvy investor getting back in the real estate game: Venture capitalist Joshua Kushner and his supermodel wife, Karlie Kloss, have listed their Karlie Kloss current pad in & Joshua Kushner Nolita’s Puck Supermodel and Venture Capitalist Penthouses for $23.5 million (they bought it in 2019 for $18 million) after trading up to the last remaining unit in the building, a 7,200-square-foot duplex penthouse with five bedrooms and 5,100 square feet of outdoor space.

The real estate world is always full of drama, and actor Bryan Cranston has been doing some serious scenery-chewing of late, picking up a two-bedroom co-op on Central Park West for $5.6 million. Uptown, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka have placed their 1907 Italianate brownstone in Harlem on the market for $7.325 million with Vickey Barron and Pacey Barron of Compass. The five-story, 8,000-square-foot residence, which the couple purchased in 2013 for $3.6 million, features five bedrooms, four outdoor spaces, three fireplaces, a wine cellar, a media room, and a gym. Speaking of hitting the gym, the host of The Biggest Loser, Bob Harper, is looking to shed some weight by selling his one-bedroom Chelsea abode, currently listed for $2.295 million (he paid $1.895 million for it in 2015).

And actor and comedian Keegan-Michael Key has scored a buyer for his 35th-floor unit at the famed “Jenga Building” in Chelsea, designed by architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, but he took a hit on the 1,624-square-foot twobedroom, which he bought three years ago for $5.2 million and sold for an even $5 million, well under his ask.

BOROUGH REBOOT AND MANHATTAN MANIA

No matter the challenges put before it, Manhattan always seems to bounce back. But what about Brooklyn and Queens? Recent reports by real estate appraisal firm Miller Samuel show prices in Brooklyn reached record highs for the third straight quarter in a row, with the average sale price jumping 10.1 percent in the second quarter of 2021 over the same period last year, to $1.135 million,

BEFORE THEY WERE BROKERS: DENISE WILDER For more than two decades, Denise Wilder operated a luxury travel business catering to both Hollywood elite and musicians including Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ronson, Baz Luhrmann, Steve Van Zandt, Chris Frantz, and Debbie Harry. “My life was like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride,” says Wilder of her globetrotting days. “I toured the world with bands and attended some amazing events.”

Eventually, Wilder turned to real estate, selling villas and condos at the Viceroy Anguilla and working for William Raveis in Newport, Rhode Island, before moving to the Hamptons and Douglas Elliman Real Estate in 2015. “I was used to sales and service, thinking creatively, and building client relationships,” she reflects, “so it was a natural segue for me. I always feel fulfilled when I’m helping people problem-solve.” —A. B. Girl Meets World (above right) Wilder (center) with Chris Frantz of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club and her friend Sarah Frank.

and the number of sales skyrocketing 124.7 percent. As for condo sales, the most action is taking place in the $2 million to $3 million range, where transactions jumped 206.3 percent between August 2020 to August 2021. But according to Douglas Elliman Real Estate broker Lindsay Barton Barrett, the strongest overall demand is for townhouses.

“They’re currently the darling of the market,” she says, “because people still want more square footage and outdoor living spaces.”

Sales in once-dowdy Queens are also on the upswing. Miller Samuel notes average and median sale prices jumping 8.2 percent and 12 percent, respectively, from the second quarter of 2020 to the same time this year, reaching record or near-record levels for the third

“Landlords and developers had been offering discounts and creative concessions, and now these perks have all but evaporated” straight quarter. And the number of sales shot up 118.4 percent during that time.

Meanwhile, renters are feeling the squeeze as pandemic fleers start flocking back to the Big Apple. Per Miller Samuel, listing inventory in Manhattan dropped a whopping 67.7 percent in August, after hitting its peak in January, and the average rental price for a three-bedroom unit increased 10 percent, to $7,669 a month, between August 2020 and August 2021. “The Manhattan rental market is insane,” says Core broker Julie Johnson, who recently listed a three-bedroom unit in Battery Park City for $14,500 a month and received multiple above-ask offers, including one for $16,000, sight unseen. According to Miller Samuel, the number of new leases signed in April skyrocketed 545.8 percent compared to the same time last year. “Talk about a 360-degree shift, when landlords and developers were offering discounts and creative concessions like free Uber rides and Whole Foods gift certificates,” comments Compass’s Vickey Barron. “Now these perks have all but evaporated, and you can’t find a decent property without multiple bids.” —Jean Nayar

THIS ISSUE’S

BIG

DEAL

Architecture buffs, take note: This lakeside escape in Putnam County contains not one, but two Frank Lloyd Wright−designed dwellings.

Perched on a private island in Lake Mahopac and surrounded by 10-plus acres of old-growth forest, the $9.95 million listing features a three-bedroom 1950s cottage designed by Wright in addition to the main residence, a 6,500-square-foot four-bedroom house completed in 2007 per Wright’s original plans, which the current owners discovered nearly half a century after he drafted them. The grounds boast a teahouse, a second guesthouse, a beach, a dock, and a helipad, but the pièce de résistance just might be the primary house’s dramatic cantilevered living room, which hovers above the lake. “The water envelops you,” says Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Margaret Harrington, who shares the listing with the firm’s Monica Webster. “It’s as though you’re on the bow of a ship.” —J.

ust as there are innumerable shades of white for painting interiors, so, too, are there seemingly infinite recipes for lasagna. Not that either fact necessarily cements the bond between interior designer and client, but lasagna did happen to play a key role in determining the overall interior paint color that decorator Dominick Rotondi and his client, Danielle DeMaio, decided on for her home in Scarsdale.

(For the record, it was Benjamin Moore Palace White.)

“We basically began our working relationship by sharing recipes for lasagna,” the Manhattan-based Rotondi recounts. “Danielle and I both love to cook.” During a drive to DeMaio’s weekend house in the Berkshires, his client adds, “We bonded over food and family, as Italians do. I remember serving Dominick a delicious pasta with pesto for lunch.”

DeMaio, her husband, and their two children had been living in a thoroughly modern loft in Tribeca when she had an epiphany during a drive back to the city one weekend.

“It just came over me,” she recalls. “I said to my husband, ‘I think we should look at houses in Scarsdale.’ I grew up in Scarsdale and decided to go home again.” DeMaio texted a friend’s mother who is a realtor in the Westchester suburb, and before the couple reached Tribeca, they had six listings to consider. The winner: a 1927 Tudor-style house in a Scarsdale neighborhood aptly nicknamed “The Cotswolds.”

The property “was the first listing she sent, and I knew right away that it was the one.”

The five-bedroom stone and slate-roofed residence’s most notable feature is its original stained-glass windows.

Random panes are clear or colored, others mottled, and some even depict medieval scenes, such as Saint George slaying the dragon. “The colored glass—purples, lavenders, blues—dictated the furnishings,” says Rotondi, who installed a pair of lavender club chairs in the living room and incorporated a variety of blues in the primary bedroom. “Some people in the neighborhood have removed their leaded stained-glass windows because they let in cold air and leak if not maintained,” comments DeMaio, “but we kept ours since they were in such good shape and create a mood.”

“The bones of the house were decent,” reports Rotondi, “and the prior owners had left it in good condition, although it felt like it had been stuck in 56

the 1960s or ’70s.” But apart from an especially dated kitchen and floors that needed to be refurbished, it was essentially move-in ready. “Dominick kept telling me all along that we had to respect the tone of the original house,” says DeMaio. Accordingly, Rotondi chose a mix of traditional furnishings along with a handful of carefully selected 20th-century accent pieces, such as a Danish modern desk for the office. In a light-filled sunroom framed by an arched wall of clear glass panes, he positioned a suite of McGuire Canyon swivel dining chairs around a custom walnut and brass table. “We didn’t want the interiors to look dated,” the designer says, “but rather to feel young and modern within the embrace of a classically traditional Tudor-style house.

Interiors should always appear to have their own soul, but that soul has to have a relationship with the architecture.”

DeMaio and her family have adapted quickly to the house, so much so that her younger son “has already announced that he’s going to live here when he grows up and gets married,” she says. Although the project is complete, recipes for lasagna continue to be shared, and Rotondi brings donuts for both of DeMaio’s sons whenever he stops by. “Every time they see a donut,” she jokes, “my sons ask if Dominick came to visit.” ✹ 59

Here, panettone is used in lieu of the more common Italian ladyfingers known as savoiardi, soaked in coffee and topped with a creamy custard and chocolate. “I don’t like a lot of coffee in mine,” Garretti says. “And the raisins and candied fruit inside the panettone make the dish more interesting.” (opposite bottom left and right)

Garretti added branches of forsythia and whole lemons to an arrangement of yellow ranunculus in her dining room, which features a Moroccan Tuareg rug, Giuseppe Gibelli chairs, and a custom chandelier from Venice.

THE HOUSE

WHISPERER While being gently revamped, a fine-boned centur y-old townhouse in Turtle Bay gives subtle design cues to decorator Cari Berg

hen decorator Cari Berg received the commission to design the interiors of the Turtle Bay townhouse featured on these pages, she heeded the wishes of two very discerning clients: The owners, of course, but also, curiously enough, the building itself. “The moment I saw the house,” recalls Berg, “I knew it was giving me a very clear design direction. Its bones are incredible, and because the structure is so stately and elegant, I wanted to do right by it. I wanted the design to be a perfect fit. I’d say the building was giving me a path to follow, not a prescription.”

Located on a shady street just blocks from the United Nations, the fivestory townhouse is the Los Angeles–based Berg’s first complete New York project, although she was already familiar with the homeowners, having decorated prior residences for them on the West Coast. Berg found the new 70

challenge exciting. “In Los Angeles,” she says, “I can run around picking up accessories and throwing them in my car, but it doesn’t work that way in New York.” A quick study, she soon memorized where and when delivery trucks are allowed to park and unload on crowded Manhattan side streets, particularly on days when she was installing. “In L.A., wall-to-wall carpeting can be laid out on a driveway and cut to fit, but not in New York. Having done this project, I feel so much more a part of the city.”

The condition of the circa-1900 building, inside and out, was excellent, and most of the decorative finishes, extant paint colors, and built-ins were in near-ideal shape. Even the existing heavy satin draperies in the primary bedroom were so fresh and luxurious that the decorator kept them in place.

But the homeowners, still based in Los Angeles, were planning on spending

more time in New York and fully embracing life in the Big Apple. “This house could easily skew traditional, so it was important to amplify its sophistication and elegance,” say Berg, who dutifully set out to find furnishings, accessories, and artwork that fit the bill.

For inspiration, Berg looked to the existing oval-shaped staircase. A curvaceous foil to the rectilinear lines of the townhouse, its organic form influenced a host of her choices, starting with a circular walnut cocktail table from Studio Van den Akker. Fortuitously, she had bought the table years earlier and kept it in storage. “I regularly file things away,” she 74

says, “not often knowing when I’m going to use them. When I saw the townhouse’s parlor floor, I knew it was the perfect place for the table.”

Other pieces among the heady mix include a lizard-upholstered Klismos chair and a multi-globed Lindsey Adelman light fixture. But perhaps more important than the furnishings themselves is the home’s prevailing neutral color palette, all the better to show off her clients’ art collection. “They entertain a lot,” Berg notes, “and I like the idea of the artwork and the people inside the rooms adding all the color and vibrancy. People in a home often complement what’s already there.” ✹

HAMPTON DESIGNER

SHOWHOUSE Presented by HC&G, the Hampton Designer Showhouse has raised funds for Stony Brook Southampton Hospital for nearly two decades. This year’s stunning installment occurred in the newly renovated Southampton residence of developers and homeowners Jason Khan and Juan Carlos Londono of JGK Equities. To transform it into a thing of beauty, 24 design firms converged on the 7,000-square-foot abode, parts of which date from the 1830s. Read on for more about how great design can benefit a good cause.

TEXT BY SHANNON ASSENZA | PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANASTASSIOS MENTIS

The Goods The original front porch of the historic farmhouse features seating pieces from Design Within Reach. Southamptonbased architect Siyu Liu masterminded the renovation and expansion of the home, which received a fresh coat of white paint from SherwinWilliams. See Resources.

JENNIFER PACCA INTERIORS WRAPAROUND PORCH

Draperies from Fairfield and rugs from Jaipur give “great energy and an old-world, yet modern look” to Jennifer Pacca’s porch design, which includes lounge chairs from Design Within Reach, side tables from Emissary, and a Bevolo lantern.

KATE SINGER HOME BREAKFAST ROOM

The natural beauty of the Hamptons inspired Kate Singer to employ a watery blue rug from the Carpetman by Stark and a driftwood-like dining table by Keith Fritz. Layered textiles in her “organic, summery” breakfast room include an aquatic curtain fabric from Peter Fasano, which frames the French doors. “Along with the creative aspect,” Singer says, “the showhouse gives me the opportunity to join my colleagues in support of a worthy cause.”

Inspired by the 1835 farmhouse’s original wood beams, designer Denise Rinfret aimed to “retain the quiet, timeless flavor of its country simplicity.” An oversize Vaughan lantern hangs above antique painted furniture and neoclassical mirrors, while a striped RH wing chair on the landing is “reminiscent of slipcovers that everyone used to do back in the day.

Designer Libby Langdon opted for a “fresh and fun, happy Hamptons home” theme, using the koi fish motif from her new collection of wall decor for Paragon as a springboard. A wall covering from Phillip Jeffries and a dragon-print cushion fabric from Thibaut provide “the perfect combination of bright coral and multiple blues,” while a chandelier from Crystorama and a rug from Langdon’s collection with KAS tie the space together.

Designer Avery Frank envisioned a “mid-20thcentury-style dining room with a beachy touch to it.” A chandelier, mirror, and sideboard lamps from High Style Deco, a wall covering from Thibaut, and beach-scene paintings by Michael Patterson make the space “light and airy,” while the dining table from Mr. Brown London lends further modern appeal.

BP2 INTERIORS FOR OKA FIRST-FLOOR STUDY

Designers Barbara Page Glatt and Bimla Picot partnered with OKA to create a casually elegant, multifunctional space, with tactile touches including a wicker-frame OKA mirror and a jute wall covering from Thibaut, in addition to vibrant accessories that “make the room buzz,” Glatt says. Light fixtures from Vaughan cast a warm light throughout.

MICHEL SMITH BOYD FOR DESIGN WITHIN REACH GREAT ROOM AND REAR TERRACE

Set against a graphic Pierre Frey wall covering, “approachable and fun” indoor and outdoor furnishings give designer Michel Smith Boyd’s great room and adjacent terrace both a contemporary and mid-20th-century vibe, while a Serge Mouille chandelier and shimmery green palette lend “under the sea” panache.

The bright and cheery gallery on the lower level features canvases by artist Amy Heywood, who set out to turn “this transitional place into a space where people will want to stay and linger. I use lots of bright, intense colors in my work, and I’ve grouped pieces strategically for a seamless flow.”

SEA GREEN DESIGNS BEDROOM AND BATH

When devising her scheme for this bedroom, Shannon Willey of Sea Green Designs was inspired by “coastal farmhouses,” employing a custom shutter over the roof window, in keeping with the home’s historic past. In the adjacent bath, a Hartmann & Forbes wall covering underscores her theme.

SCOTT FORMBY DESIGN SECOND-FLOOR STUDY

To convert a small bedroom into a study, Scott Formby turned to the worlds of art and fashion, creating a space with “nods to literature, privacy, and solitude.” Vintage Hermès sketchbooks, bouclé curtains, various tweeds, and a substantial, yet delicate lantern from Vaughan suggest “masculine and feminine elements playing against each other.”

The Goods (opposite) LED light sculptures by John Procario illuminate the rec room, which is anchored by area rugs from Doris Leslie Blau. (this page) The mirrored bookcase in the study is from OKA.

BALCONY

“You wouldn’t expect to see a wildflower garden on a balcony,” floral designer Arthur Golabek declares about his “rustic and relaxed” botanical design, which centers on a mix of faux and natural plants among Japanese ceramic dinnerware and antique furnishings.

“The wildflowers of Poland, where I grew up, inspired the arrangements, as did the fields near my studio in Sag Harbor.”

EXTREME AVS INC THEATER

“I wanted to do something retro and futuristic,” says designer Thomas Mastrianni, who displayed multiple artworks of his own, as well as pieces by Art Donovan, in his steampunk-inspired theater.

Jab Anstoetz’s aqua upholstery fabric Malibu Beach was the inspiration behind Courtney Sempliner’s “retro and seaside– inspired” outdoor living room, replete with a cheery dining table, bench, and chairs from Fermob. “The uniqueness of this space lies in the creative play between pattern and pops of color,” Sempliner says. “It’s a nod to the Hamptons lifestyle.”

Unroll/unfold the dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper cut to fit an approximately 8" x 13" sheet pan.

Using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel, trim a ½-inch strip off all 4 sides of the dough.

Beat the egg yolk and cream with a fork and brush some of it lightly along the perimeter of the dough, then place the strips on top, creating a double-thickness border. Use a fork to prick the dough all over. Transfer the parchment to the sheet pan and chill.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the butter, tahini, brown sugar, flour, egg, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until well combined. Spread the frangipane evenly on the dough, avoiding the border. Chill again for 10 to 15 minutes more.

Slice the apples thinly, keeping the quartered sections together as much as possible, and fan them out on top of the filling, covering the entire surface. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the apples, dot with the chilled butter, and brush the tart's edges with some of the remaining egg wash.

Bake tart on the center rack of the oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until the pastry is well browned and the edges of the apples are starting to brown. Remove from the oven and slide the tart, still on the parchment, onto a rack to cool.

If desired, thin the preserves with a tablespoon or two of water and warm it in a microwave-safe dish. Brush the preserves over the apples and serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Serves 6 to 8. —Susan Spungen

JAMIE DRAKE “I grew up in suburban Woodbridge, Connecticut, and moved to New York City straight out of high school in 1975 to attend Parsons. I had always wanted to be a designer, and Gotham was my mecca. In many ways, I have been a designer since early childhood, discovering joy and inspiration everywhere, from the tar of the road to the lady’s slipper orchids in the woods to the glass façades of skyscrapers.

“The life-rocking events of 2020 and 2021 have been a great reminder that there is no end to need. Almost 25 years ago, I became aware of the Alpha Workshops, which was founded in 1995 as a response to the growing number of New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS and is the first nonprofit decorative-arts studio to train and employ people with disabilities and vulnerabilities. I was entranced by the gorgeous products and its wonderful mission: ‘Creating Beauty, Changing Lives.’ Having lost so many friends to AIDS, supporting Alpha was a way for me to honor those gone and help those still alive.

“Being blessed is a wonderful thing, but so many people and communities struggle and need help. As the phrase from antiquity instructs us, ‘To whom much is given, much will be required.’ I embrace that ethos.”
