Talk of the Town

Revisiting a previous project, a designer takes advantage of the natural light and thoughtful architecture.

Potter Nicholas Bernard has created a breadth of work that proves one should never stop thinking about what’s next.

Fresh materials and Scandinavian touches infuse new life into a dark and dated Fountain Hills vacation home.

Taking cues from their surroundings, a design team erects a house that offers views from every room.

ON THE COVER: For the refresh of a Paradise Valley residence, interior designer David Michael Miller played to the textured walls of the breakfast nook, using edgy materials such as the leather upholstery of the dining chairs by Jiun Ho and the dark finish of The Urban Electric Co. pendant light. He finished the space with a custom banquette covered in a coarse linen by Rose Tarlow Melrose House. Page 210

LETTER EDITOR’S

In my happy place; sitting in designer Brittany Bromley’s chic room for Kips Bay Palm Beach.

There’s a lively dialogue in the design world of late centered around the notion of “original” design and copying. I prefer to tweak the adjective to “genuine,” since everything is ultimately derivative. What is original, after all? Two great creatives of the world, Steve Jobs and Pablo Picasso both are quoted as saying, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” Hmm. What they really mean is: be influenced by an idea that inspires you, turn it on its head and make it into something entirely different. Don’t imitate...create.

Here’s what I know about design as an editor who lives it every day. There is an abundance of riches to be inspired by if you’re curious, open to observation and educating yourself about design history.

There are artists, creatives and makers across the country who turn out interesting work developed with integrity. Seek them out and support them, dear reader, for they drive design and “originality,” pushing everything to be ever more captivating, compelling and joyful. As design should be.

Creating an aura of escapism within a densely populated area is no easy feat, but the design team charged with turning a traditional Paradise Valley resort into the vibrant and modern Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows certainly rose to the occasion. For this, landscape architect and Burton Studio principal Joel Harms’ role was far-reaching, extending even to master-planning the 2016 rejuvenation. “It already had good bones,” reveals Harms, whose vision was “to evolve it into a more relevant and exciting place to be.” Taking stock of the property’s mature trees—palm, pine, olive and palo verde—his design augmented with elm and citrus trees to impart old-world vibes. As Delawie architects added modernist main buildings to the property, its 185 bungalows were retained and updated with midcentury interiors by EDG Design that spill out onto private patios. By adding walled gardens to shelter them, Harms complemented their Pueblo-influenced architecture while creating a sense of refuge. His team composed a landscape of native wildflowers, cacti, agave and desert grasses across the grounds—plantings that become progressively less tamed as they feather out to the Sonoran Desert surrounds. andazscottsdale.com

For Canadian transplant and designer James McIntyre, his relatively recent move to Arizona has been busier than most. In the past year, McIntyre has launched and expanded his own line of modern furnishings and moved his office to Scottsdale where he can be closer to both his clients and his own new home. While all this change might intimidate some, it’s only invigorated McIntyre. “The longer I’m here and the deeper my roots get, the happier I am,” he says. So, how does this design visionary stay so energized? Here, McIntyre shares four of his favorite spots around town for kick-starting his creative mojo. jamesmcintyreinteriordesign.com

FIG & BIRCH INTERIORS

There’s a new kid on the Greenway-Hayden Loop, although its pedigree stretches back further than you might think. The 10,000-square-foot Fig & Birch Interiors is the latest enterprise of Susie and Scott Wallace, owners of Thingz Contemporary Living and Boulevard Urban Living. Rather than the contemporary and urban styles of their previous stores, however, Fig & Birch focuses on what Susie describes as an up-and-coming aesthetic: light, bright and airy. Accordingly, their inventory falls into one of three categories: modern Mediterranean, organic naturalist or French contemporary. And there is plenty of each category to explore, from rugs to chandeliers to overscale artworks.

Nearly everything can be customized, thanks to Fig & Birch’s contract with an upholsterer in Los Angeles, while five on-site designers offer complimentary consultations to help customers figure out how to pull it all together.

The result is a destination that not only answers the trend of the moment, but also helps to set it. figbirch.com

“I love everything, from the inspirational building to Lisa’s exceptional artists to the casual elegance of Lisa herself.

When I’m down, a trip to Lisa Sette lifts me back up!”

Desert Botanical Garden “Truly my favorite place in Phoenix to go and meditate and get inspired. I always get a good creative flow going when I just sit amongst all the beauty.”

Francine “My new favorite: the south of France meets Scottsdale. It has a great scene, delicious food, a fabulous wine list—and those frites! I recently had lunch on its patio, and my little border terrier was welcome, just like in Paris.”

For The People “With inspirational pieces from furniture to jewelry, this is my source for cool found pieces, Heidi Abrahamson rings and incense from Tennen, all in a laid-back scene.”

MEET THE MAKER CHASE WARREN DESIGN

SCENE

DESIGN

For woodworker Chase Warren, creating heirloomquality pieces is more than just a trend. It’s about his fascination with objects that can withstand the passage of time. The Mesa-based artisan has been working with a curated selection of woods (walnut, maple, white oak) and materials (brass, leather, steel, glass) for more than a decade, fashioning everything from credenzas to cutting boards along the way. He is largely self-taught and committed to crafting pieces that are as usable as they are delightful to behold. chasewarrendesign.com What drew you to this manner of woodworking?

I got really interested in pre-Industrial Revolution manufacturing processes and how objects made a hundred years ago can feel like they’re from a whole different world. My focus is on creating similar pieces that are also serviceable. They look good, but you don’t have to baby them.

How would you describe your style? Traditional with whimsical elements.

If we can add a strange curve or wood patchwork just to make it interesting, we will.

Who is your greatest design inspiration? The obvious one is furniture designer and woodworker Sam Maloof. But I’m also really into surrealist painter Yves Tanguy. I would love to incorporate his silhouettes.

BLUEPRINT

Not everyone believes in second chances. But for anyone who missed out on the 30 Ascent Golf Villas released in mid-February, now is the time to check out the latest from Ascent: 40 luxury condominiums enclosed within a sleek, linear building at the base of Camelback Mountain. The Mountainside Residences offer bespoke design features such as Bulthaup kitchens, two-color palettes that integrate natural materials, and freestanding sculptural soaking tubs in the main baths. And residents will enjoy access to the adjacent Mountain Club, too. This private club is modeled on the historic Jokake Inn, which still stands on the resort grounds. With its rustic wood beams and adobe façade, the club serves as an oasis where residents can pursue wellness and simply relax. ascentatthephoenician.com

“FOREVER BECOMING: YOUNG PHOENIX ARTISTS” What it means to live in Phoenix is admittedly not a topic that gets much discussion, but “Forever Becoming: Young Phoenix Artists,” a new exhibition at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, seeks to examine this question through the lens of 11 artists all under the age of 30. Issues from social justice and environmental degradation to the essence of a person’s identity are all addressed in a variety of media.

But what makes this exhibition (opening September 11) so compelling, according to curator Lauren R. O’Connell, is how these artists’ ideas shape the narrative of Arizona’s capital city. “Bringing their artwork together in an exhibition reveals how this new generation is shaping a conversation about the future,” she says. smoca.org

Folk Spirit A PIONEERING DESIGN BRAND TOASTS FIVE YEARS WITH A TRIBUTE TO ITS BOHEMIAN ROOTS.

Mind the Gap’s Transylvanian Roots collection is a flourish of color, pattern and texture evocative of the region’s rich cultural heritage.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Five years ago, Stefan Ormenisan took a leap when he launched a bespoke wallcoverings line—the first of its kind in his home country of Romania—with his business partner Victor Serban. “This was one of the biggest challenges—convincing people from around the world that we are doing serious things with great taste and beautiful stories,” says Ormenisan.

Today, the creative director spends much less time convincing and a lot more time dreaming, as evidenced by the brand’s anniversary collection, Transylvanian Roots—a transportive maximalist assemblage of fabrics, wallpapers and furnishings emblematic of his homeland’s rich Bohemian spirit. “Once an independent country, Transylvania was a melting pot of peoples, cultures and traditions, from Saxons, Hungarians and Romanians to Székelys, Ashkenazi Jews, Armenians and Gypsies,” says Ormenisan, who takes pride in his mixed Romanian, Saxon, Hungarian and Armenian heritage. “When creating these pieces, we drew on the idyllic memories of our childhood summers spent with grandparents in the countryside.”

In those traditional homes, embroidered textiles softened wooden furniture while trimmed and tasseled lamps brightened winter nights—themes reflected in the collection’s jubilant cushions, lampshades and wall art. Ornamental and decorative motifs in lush reds, yellows and greens recall vintage patterns and color palettes used by folk artists for hundreds of years, while painterly botanicals reference Central Asian suzanis and Slavic and Ottoman influences. “I love the diversity in

such a small area—all of the traditions and customs belonging to different cultures that live together to form the authentic heritage of this place,” says the creative director.

While Ormenisan believes Transylvanian Roots, with its detailed embroidery and handmade finishes, is equally befitting a rural cottage or city setting, he muses it would shine in a stately Georgian manse in London. “I imagine a large garden with a stylish topiary, a monumental entrance and a sumptuous drawing room with a large-buttoned sofa upholstered in the finest cotton velvet with embroidered and printed fabrics,” envisions the creative director.

But for now, Ormenisan will dream a little closer to home. With his business partner, he recently purchased a hunting manor in the Romanian town of Presaca that once belonged to noble Hungarian families—making it the ideal backdrop for the brand’s storybook prints like Erdely, Vixen and Enchanted Woodland.

“Surrounded by mystical scenery with smooth hills and vast woodland, when you enter this village, you feel the old history entering your body; a timeless vault,” he explains. “I love how time has stopped here, creating a world full of originality and romance.”

THE EXPERT TAKE ON MURALS. “ We did a huge silhouette of native Oregon plants in a main bedroom. The design bled onto the ceiling and window frames. The result is fantastic.”

–STEWART HORNER, PENNY BLACK INTERIORS

When describing the allure of a mural, New York artist Anne Harris calls out their immersive nature saying, “They command an interior, and they engulf a physical space and transport you.” She’s been practicing the art form ever since she first viewed Italian frescoes in person, an experience that was so powerful she describes it as “head spinning.”

Harris notes that while wallpaper adds color and pattern to an interior, murals offer something else. “With wallpaper, you have a repeating pattern,” she says. “But with a mural, you have interest that continues around a room, and you can see the intent, the perspective and the hand of the artist.”

Painting murals is an ancient art, and they can be found decorating walls throughout the millennia, in places ranging from Egyptian tombs to Pompeiian homes to Indian palaces. But Harris sees the uptick in their recent popularity as a rebellion against “the white-gray-neutral rooms we’ve been living in the last several years.”

For some, the word “mural” conjures an image of traditional pastoral settings, but many contemporary muralists embrace an unexpected aesthetic. Take artist JohnPaul Philippe, whose abstract work often contains a series of modern, biomorphic forms. With an architectural approach to his

LUXESOURCE.COM

craft, he pulls inspiration from the spirit of the place where his murals will live. “A lot of my work is an articulation of what is going on around it,” says the artist, who splits his time between New York and Connecticut.

He credits his use of color and form to his childhood in Oklahoma, where he had an unofficial apprenticeship with the local billboard painter. “It made me completely unafraid to paint large,” he says.

Youthful experiences also influence San Francisco’s Rafael Arana, who began his artistic journey by spraying graffiti on walls around his hometown. Although he is no stranger to classic motifs, his work often has a different flavor—such as a pair of brilliantly hued iguanas that dance across the ceiling of a Presidio Heights mansion.

Noting that many of his clients, even those in private residences, are looking for an Instagram-worthy moment, he adds: “Like graffiti, murals are an attention grabber— they stand out and start a conversation.”

Arana says it’s that compelling quality that drives demand for his murals—some of which take several weeks of 16-hour days to complete. “A hand-painted mural is customizable and can bring a client’s vision to life,” he says. “It can tell a story the way few other elements can.”

–MARIE FLANIGAN, MARIE FLANIGAN INTERIORS

“ I have a hand-painted Chinese mural in my living room.

It constantly draws me into the space.”

–ALEX PAPACHRISTIDIS, ALEX PAPACHRISTIDIS INTERIORS

“ We’re doing a large mural in a stairwell because hanging art would be tricky there.

Covering the walls in this manner makes it instantly more special.”

– J ULIE MASSUCCO KLEINER AND MELISSA WARNER ROTHBLUM, MASSUCCO WARNER

“ Dining rooms and entries are prime locations for dramatic murals—these welcoming and entertaining areas set the stage for the rest of the home.”

–KATIE LEEDE, KATIE LEEDE STUDIO

“ Wall treatments can be incredibly impactful in confined spaces, like powder baths, where one is fully enveloped in the artwork.”

Eileen Fisher is a constant source of inspiration. The use of organic linen materials is so casual, all while being tailored and sophisticated. sophisticated Every luxury item should have one foot in the future and traces of the past, like pieces by Hervé Van der Straeten.

I’m often inspired by the detail and shape of furniture— especially from the 18th and 19th centuries— as well as through palettes and patterns used by designers like Madeleine Castaing.

With its French design influence, Morocco is intoxicatingly exotic in its sights, sounds and smells. It masters ambience more than any other country I’ve visited.

Sartorial Sense FASHION DESIGNER CHRISTIAN SIRIANO DELVES INTO THE WORLD OF DECOR. W R I T T E N BY C AT H E R I N E H O N G P H O T O G R A P H Y BY B R I T TA N Y A M B R I D G E

“I’m not an overthinker,” says designer Christian Siriano when it comes to decorating his Westport, Connecticut, home. “I buy pieces that I like and try them out—that’s the fun part of the design process.”

Last spring, Christian Siriano had only just closed on his new house—a 6,000-squarefoot glass-and-stucco dwelling in Westport, Connecticut—when the country went into lockdown. Instead of using that time to slow down and feather his nest, the Project Runway star immediately shifted into superhero mode, rallying his atelier to sew thousands of masks for health care workers. Then, in the months following, he presented a new ready-towear collection, whipped up Covid red carpet looks for Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga and introduced a bridal line. Perhaps most surprisingly, Siriano announced his entry into the home space, launching an interior design studio and debuting a glamorous collection of geometric Postmodern furniture on 1stdibs—all this before wrapping up season 19 of Project Runway. “Yeah, I’m keeping busy,” laughed Siriano when Luxe checked in on the designer at his home in Connecticut.

LUXESOURCE.COM

You’ve said that if you hadn’t gone into fashion, you might have become an interior designer—and now you have. Did this affection for interiors begin when you were a child in Annapolis, Maryland?

My mom was really into interior design and as a kid I always visited antiques shops with her. Even though our house had a sort of nautical, Nantucket feel that’s more traditional than my taste now, I have to say, I still love a beachy, coastal room.

What did your room look like?

I had a lot of stripes and plaids because I was into the Ralph Lauren look.

My walls were a bright cobalt blue and filled with paintings from the flea market. I had a picture of Alicia Silverstone from Clueless up too, which is hilarious because now Alicia and I are close friends.

Your furniture collection doesn’t play it safe. Share the inspiration. I made

pieces that I wanted. I think the chairs almost look like little people in dresses.

They’re modern and neutral in color, but they have warmth and texture.

The million-dollar question: How are you doing all this? Running an interiors firm on top of a fashion company is no easy feat. I have two full-time people working with me on interiors. But I’m literally the most insane multitasker there is. Juggling and taking on different types of projects is what I’ve always done. One of my strengths is that I’m not an overthinker.

I make decisions very quickly.

What’s your secret for working with clients? Projects can take years in highend interior design. We may be a new interiors firm, but I have dealt with some of the most unbelievable, challenging, famous and insane fashion clients in the world.

Believe me, I can deal with an indecisive or difficult personality. That, I’m good at.

A PARTICULAR PARTNERSHIP Kazumi Yoshida, Clarence House

When one door closes, another door opens— or so they say. For longtime Clarence House creative director and visionary artist Kazumi Yoshida that time came in 2019 when, after nearly 40 years at the legendary textile company and several owners in between, Fabricut acquired the brand making Yoshida’s retirement seem inevitable. Yet instead, the creative director was so touched by the enthusiasm of his new employers that he decided to stay on and begin a new chapter.

With the Fabricut partnership in place, Yoshida thought the 60 th anniversary of Clarence House would be the perfect opportunity to pay homage to his original collaborator, Robin Roberts, who founded the brand in 1961.

Woven Threads

With Champagne taste and an eye for glamour, Roberts’ atelier quickly became the destination for something unique during the ’60s—gorgeous bolts were coveted by New York society, and the rest of the country soon caught on. As appetite increased for original motifs, Yoshida was hired and his first assignment was to transform an old document from India into a new pattern that eventually became Papiers Japonais, still currently one of the bestselling

Clarence House designs. The dynamic alliance between the two creatives allowed the business to flourish.

Today, Yoshida’s 60 th anniversary collection brings to life an opulent time in history that Roberts was particularly fond of: the grand yet bizarre period of the early 18 th century, which the creative director describes as “Oscar Wilde with a twist.”

Impressively, Yoshida still paints each design by hand—a rarity in the world of fabrics and wallpapers. clarencehouse.com

FRESH FACE

Sumitra Mattai, Scalamandré Early on, Sumitra Mattai realized that everything around her was designed and created by someone, and she indeed wanted to be that someone.

“I always knew I loved textiles, and when I doodled, I doodled in pattern,” says Mattai, now Scalamandré’s senior design director. Growing up in suburban New Jersey with influences from her Guyanese and Indian heritage, Mattai says she couldn’t deny the creative pull.

Founded in 1929 by Franco Scalamandré, an Italian immigrant with an engineering background, Scalamandré saw an opportunity for creating silks domestically in lieu of importing them from abroad. Success swiftly followed.

From famous estates to the White House to one particular Wes Anderson film, the brand’s designs have made their mark on American culture.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Three years into the role, Mattai is off and running with her natural gift for product design—fashion, fine art and the brand’s archives all inform her ideas. And she has acknowledged that the fabric house means different things to different people, whether it’s a loyal client of 50 years or someone who has recently discovered the company by way of their new partnership with The Inside.

As for what’s next, the Sahara collection will debut later this year.

Inspired by North Africa, the line boasts large-scale patterns and rich colors.

Plus, there’s a new Leaping Cheetah design—a play on the infamous Zebra wallpaper. Surely, this is just the beginning for Mattai. “The magic of seeing something I draw or paint come back as a beautiful design…it never gets old,” she says. scalamandre.com

Apollo Faucet Set A stunning example of modern design, the Apollo Faucet Set was created by Sherle Wagner himself in the mid-twentieth century and continues to be a focal point in bathrooms across the globe. Shown here in High Polish Platinum with Lapis Lazuli, it is available with a range of semiprecious stones or in all metal. Choose from nineteen metal finishes, or even two-tone.

FORWARD LOOKING Mickey Riad, Fortuny

“We are here for a short amount of time, but Fortuny deserves to be here forever,” observes Mickey Riad, artistic director of the inspirational Italian textile house. With the 100-year anniversary of Fortuny’s Venice factory on the horizon, it’s a time of reflection for the brand.

The story begins in the early 1900s when Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny created silk dresses and textiles in Venice. After making a name for himself, the company was lovingly placed in the hands of designer Elsie McNeill Lee in 1949, who, 20 years prior, brought Fortuny to New York’s Madison Avenue and established the brand’s position in the U.S. market. In 1988, Maged Riad bought the company from Lee, and eventually his sons, Mickey and Maury, began working for the new family business. Fast-forward 23 years and Mickey Riad is designing collections and shepherding the brand into the future.

But no matter what direction the designs take, Venice, “the fountain of inspiration,” is always at the core. The latest collection, Imago, celebrates not only Venice but its supporting characters— local places and things are woven into the literal and

metaphorical fabric of the company. Barberini (above, top left) is named after the noble Roman family whose Palazzo featured a lush secret garden; the reintroduced Simboli (shown to Riad’s right in portrait above) was used on early notebooks for the brand. The magic is in embracing the originality of Fortuny, while still looking ahead. For the artistic director, the longer he continues at the Italian fabric house, the more relevance he sees in founder Mariano Fortuny, and his lasting influence. fortuny.com

At the Manuel Canovas studio, design director Olivia Deruelle poses with some of her latest designs including Pondicherry and Bengale. Below is the embroidered fabric Ango.

COLLECTED APPROACH Olivia Deruelle, Manuel Canovas

“I am always looking for treasures,” says Olivia Deruelle, design director at Manuel Canovas, of sourcing inspiration for upcoming collections at the famed French fabric house. Growing up in Brittany, a charming region dotting the coast of France, this idea of collecting pieces from nature and the sea was embedded at an early age and continues to be a common theme in her current role.

Coincidently, Monsieur Manuel Canovas, who founded his namesake brand in 1963, was also an incredible collector of art, crafts and antiques, and eventually grew the company internationally to encompass fabrics, wallpapers and carpets.

It is this collectors’ sensibility, both from the past and present, that has curated beautiful designs that feel at once au courant and incredibly refined. While color continues to be at the heart of the brand, Deruelle focuses on maximalist, narrative-driven patterns; the result is an eclectic mix infused with happiness and joy.

It was fitting then for her first collection released this year, that the focus was on French joie de vivre and exploring the modern interpretation of Toile de Jouy fabrics and wallcoverings. Classic Canovas motifs including Bengale and La Musardiere were recolored in vivid hues, and introductions like Pondicherry and Nara have farther flung influences including Japanese architecture and an Indian palace.

Finding joy in the process of textile making is important to the design director as she considers Manuel Canovas’ honored heritage and gently steers the company into the future. Whether delving into the archives or working with contemporary artists and her team to develop original patterns, the guiding principle is to stay true to a brand that has created so much happiness and exuberance through the language of fabrics. cowtan.com

GOLDEN AGE LILSE MCKENNA INC.

“I love the challenge of putting together kitchens and baths, and I really interrogate my clients about how they live in these functional rooms,” says New York-based designer Lilse McKenna, who explains that a lot of wasted space can accumulate if the needs and wants of clients are ignored. For a home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that dates to 1750, investing in the details—everything from the materials and hardware to the finishes and fittings—allowed the renovated kitchen and bath to maintain its historic feel while still embracing a new and elevated scheme. lilsemckenna.com Where did you start? It was very important to the clients that when embarking upon this renovation, we paid homage to the heritage of the home and brought in elements that felt authentic and even patinated. Cue the tongue-and-groove walls, antique ceiling beams, butcher-block style countertop and pine flooring that we dyed instead of stained in keeping with 18th-century ethos.

The kitchen island (previous page) is beautiful!

We hung the custom Ann-Morris pot rack to make it feel like an older kitchen, but it really grounds the entire space and balances out the massive island. I also like the collected feel of mixing metals; here we used antique copper pots, brass lighting and fittings, and a treated stainless-steel hood. Some may have rules about finishes but I always just go with what feels right in the space.

Talk to us about this extra sink (right)?

The homeowners cook and entertain constantly and needed two sinks and dishwashers, so we added a prep area with a charming, hammered copper sink and painted cabinetry. This allows for a bit more storage, so things feel less cluttered. Everyone always ends up in the kitchen and I strive to make sure the details here are just as beautiful as in the rest of the house.

In a Maryland home by Lilse McKenna, shown here and on previous page, the kitchen features custom cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s Inchyra Blue and Benjamin Moore’s Ivory White. A House of Rohl pot filler sits above a Lacanche range while Hickory Chair stools upholstered in Holly Hunt leather round out the decoration. Waterworks’ copper sink and fittings adorn the prep area. The architectural scheme is by Michael Elfenbein Design.

LUXESOURCE.COM

SEA CHANGE

The primary bathroom follows the same guiding principles as the kitchen. Vaulted ceilings and antique wide-plank flooring throughout connect the spaces. In the water closet, McKenna added paneling painted in Benjamin Moore’s Silken Blue to complement Bennison Fabrics’ showstopping Wheat Flower. To create the feeling of an old historic bedroom that had been converted into a bath, the designer included antique etched hurricanes with custom brass and mahogany backplates.

PERFECT FIT

As much as the designer wanted to fabricate a new vanity for the bath, nothing was turning out quite as well as the 18th-century chest she had found, which fit snuggly into the footprint of the room. She added a marble countertop and backsplash, along with fittings and a sink. The chest’s beautiful original finish was kept as is.

photos: read mckendree/jsba.

WATERED DOWN

An old-fashioned copper Waterworks tub adds to the narrative that this was once a small bedroom original to the home that had been adopted as a bath over time.

Placing the piece away from the wall and installing the fittings directly into the floor contributes to the authentic feel.

For designer Liz Caan’s own 1920s Georgian-style home in Boston’s Chestnut Hill, it was without question that when it came to aesthetics, her choices would be ultra-personal—inspired by the work of trusted vendors and objects collected from travels. “The powder room is a play of opposites,” says Caan, “old and new, classic and industrial.” This charming sink vignette is comprised of a Watermark faucet, Soane sconces and Antoinette Poisson wallpaper.

QUIET REFLECTION

A MANHATTAN DINING ROOM MAKES MAGIC OF ITS INWARD CONFINES.

On Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a classic six apartment had just one dark quality: its courtyard-facing dining room, which called for a thoughtful lighting program. Enter New York and Miami-based designer Elizabeth Bolognino, who, alongside Anderson Kenny Architecture, installed a fresh fenestration, including a matching window connecting to the kitchen to borrow its sunlight. In addition to a 12-headed Gabriel Scott chandelier (“I really wanted it to look like an anthropomorphic jewel;” she says), Bolognino commissioned decorative artist Dean Barger to paint a pale pink lacquered ceiling to mimic the surface of a calm lake. “Any time you bring in reflection, it makes a room feel bigger,” she says, adding, “Any time you can utilize light as art, you should do it.” elizabethbolognino.com

ALL ANGLES A NAPA ENTERTAINING BARN CONDUCTS A GRAND LIGHTING EXPERIMENT.

“The very essence of this project was about exploring the play of light,” shares architect William Duff of the century-old Wine Country hay barn he reconceived. Set amidst his clients’ lush vineyard and impressive modern sculpture gardens, the crisp California sun played muse to Duff’s proposed reincarnation of the outbuilding as an entertaining pavilion with a contemporary spirit. “The first time I walked the existing barn, I was struck by the way sunlight filtered through the gaps in the wood siding and thought that light, and the different ways it can illuminate

space, could be the guiding design theme for the project,” he explains. In turn, the original wood-slatted shell was maintained as a screen to splash abstract patterns across the floor by daylight. By evening, the structure then casts beams across the grounds like a glowing lantern.

Joined by two new opposing glass volumes with mirrored walls, and a discreet lighting program, the project perfectly synthesizes how artificial and natural light, along with clever visual illusion, can elevate a humble structure to something extraordinary. wdarch.com

For designer and entrepreneur Rocky Rochon, solving the problem of how paint color is affected by shifting light sources prompted the birth of The Paint Laboratory, a custom paint company governed by metamerism: the science of light reflection. While all specialty paints are developed to troubleshoot specific design woes, Rochon’s metallic special finishes—available in any Rocky Rochon paint color—aim to brighten even the darkest corners via pearlescent additives designed to refract and create a luminous shimmer. thepaintlaboratory.com

Amy Klosterman offers a fresh and varied perspective on kitchen and bath design. The interior designer and principal of AB Design Elements emphasizes the use of mixing and matching materials for a visually stimulating and dimensional effect. “I like to use a narrow range of color, while blending matte and polished sheens and incorporate texture on tiles and plumbing fixtures for visual interest,” she explains. “Integrating appliances into the cabinetry helps create a seamless look and allows for sculptural lighting and other accents.” A strong kitchen design is defined by details. Deep, oversize drawers, for example, with custom pullout shelves for storing lids, are a subtle but important touch that allows for a clutter-free exterior and organized interior. And in the bathroom, Klosterman’s designs focus on a luxury experience that is both artful and functional, with layered lighting and multi-sensory wellness in mind.

For 30 years, Citywide Builders has guided clients through the entire remodeling process, from developing an aesthetic concept to selecting material, and then executing installations or new construction. “We believe in the transformative power of aesthetics,” says Alexandra James, senior designer at Citywide Builders. With three decades under its belt, the company is still privy to industry trends, like open-concept living spaces. James says a large portion of what Citywide Builders does is deleting walls for better airflow. “This floor plan concept creates a light, fresh feeling and, I would go so far as to say, parallels a cultural shift toward inclusivity,” she says. Another design movement she notes that mirrors society is an abundance of technology that’s used to operate home appliances, such as touch-activated faucets and app-controlled thermostats.

What’s the No. 1 rule for kitchen and bath design? Well, if you ask Laura Kehoe, it’s a simple, yet essential one: function first. “No matter how beautiful the materials are, the layout and usability of the space must be a focus,” says the principal of namesake Laura Kehoe Design. In a similar vein, technology continues to gain relevance. “We grow increasingly accustomed to operating anything and everything from our phones, so technological innovations are key,” Kehoe says. “Some of my top recommendations include heated floors in the bathroom (especially for mountain projects), which can be turned up or down via an app. In the kitchen, dishwashers and other appliances with connectivity enable one to monitor and control the space from anywhere—a great feature for entertaining and safety reasons.” Alongside this penchant for innovation, one truth remains: “The kitchen is, more than ever, the hub of the home.”

A designer returns to refresh a light-filled Paradise Valley abode.

Second Time Around

Interior Design: David Michael Miller, David Michael Miller Associates

Interior designer David Michael Miller wanted to “create a moment” in the sun-soaked entry.

rchitect Louis Kahn once said, “A room is not a room without natural light.” It is this vital ingredient that interior designer David Michael Miller played upon in his redesign of a Paradise Valley home, taking full advantage of the dwelling’s architecture.

Miller came into the project with an intimate knowledge of the house—he had designed the interiors during a previous renovation, working in tandem with architect Susan Biegner of Biegner-Murff Architects as well as general contractor Brock Brunkhorst and co-owner Nancy Brunkhorst of Nance Construction.

The original design was done by Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Blaine Drake in the early 1960s, but with its small footprint, terra cottacolored slump block and low ceilings, the house didn’t function well for contemporary living.

Expanding the floor plan, increasing the ceiling height and adding a pool that took advantage of what Miller refers to as a “splayed U shape” provided for the needs of a modern family.

Biegner’s architectural changes—which also included a kitchen skylight, a corner glass configuration for the study and a water feature for the patio—set the stage for Miller’s original interiors, as well as those to come.

Another challenge approached in the initial redesign were those slump-block walls, which appear throughout the home, inside and out.

Miller first had them painted, then applied a limewash to create a filmy effect. “It amplifies the texture,” Miller says. “None of us really like slump block, but as a textural background, especially with that white limewash, it’s really compelling.”

Fast forward five years later, and new owners approached Miller to refresh the interiors. As he explains, “the clients decided not to bring in a designer from out of town but find the designer who did the past millwork and finishes”—i.e., him. Though the home lacks expansive views, the owners were drawn to the abode for its privacy and green vegetation not often found in the desert. And as soon as Miller learned the East Coast-based couple’s design preferences, he knew

why this particular residence worked for them.

“I understood why they would be attracted to this house’s clean lines and rich textures,” he says.

Once again Miller took advantage of those architectural appointments created in the past iteration by Biegner and the Brunkhorsts, starting with the structure’s color foundation. The Brunkhorsts had constructed smooth, gray plaster walls which, interspersed with the limewashed slump block, created a warm counterpoint to the block’s lighter hues. To play to this warmth, Miller chose a neutral color scheme, with green plants providing most of the accent color.

The home’s simple sophistication works in concert with the natural light, which streams in through a variety of different-sized windows, highlighting each room and, seemingly, everything in it. “There’s something about the divided light,” Miller says. “If you had four panels of glass in the house, you wouldn’t have the same kind of feeling.

That’s one of the benefits of there not being a particular view. You don’t feel like you’re slicing it up. It just gives you a nice sense of enclosure and an organization to the spaces.”

The clients asked for an easy-living abode, so calm intimacy was the order of the day. The living room and dining room naturally flow into each other, united by stylishly simple furniture, monochromatic rugs and light wood finishes. The living room eschews formality with a sectional that invites lounging and a custom teak-and-brass cabinet designed to hide the television. To create a sanctuary in the main bedroom, Miller used light finishes and subtle color, which are bathed in natural light thanks to a corner of nearly floor-toceiling windows. Those windows are also found in abundance in the kitchen and the adjacent breakfast nook. “Openness and daylight were the mantras for the kitchen,” Miller says. But an open, modern aesthetic, he emphasizes, didn’t have to create “a cold effect.” He incorporated Belgian bluestone counters and a glazed Moroccan tile backsplash to warm up the room.

“Nothing’s uptight and perfect, as if you don’t want to sit down,” the designer says. “I feel like the interiors are part of the building, as opposed to being in the building. It creates a really peaceful and calm kind of space.”

“The interior seating and exterior seating areas on the patio merge to be one broad entertainment oasis,” notes Miller of the outdoor space, furnished with James Perse chairs and a Sutherland coffee table. Architect Susan Biegner designed the subtle water feature.

otter Nicholas Bernard owes a lot to his short attention span. In fact, it’s responsible for the artistic evolution of his 40-year career. “I can only work on one thing for so long until I start seeing something else that I want to pursue,” he says. “A short attention span is a good thing because you keep wanting to make changes and create something different.”

In the 20-plus years since he set up his studio at the back of his home in Scottsdale, Bernard’s body of work has continually evolved. Known then for his raku pottery, his creative trajectory changed when he visited a museum in Rhodes, Greece, filled with 2,000-year-old pots. “Simple forms with no contrivance or pretension filled room after room,” he recalls of what impressed him most about the works. Inspired by the soft colors and classic shapes of the ewers, urns and other ancient vessels he saw in the museum, he began experimenting with similar forms.

But thanks to that attention span—or lack thereof—the process began to morph, as he started to develop new techniques and then explore where they led. “You spray or brush some color or you fire differently,” he explains.

“Can you do that again and make it better or different? It sort of all builds on itself.

Anytime I see something interesting, I just keep picking away at it.”

In one of his recent series, bulbous earthenware decorated using layered colored slips and oxides almost resemble planets. In another, Bernard uses a custom tape that he painstakingly cuts to create stripes, spirals, tendrils and other patterns on white porcelain pots and platters. He then layers colors on top of that—blacks, golds and blues—before glazing it and then removing the tape and exposing the white of the pot.

If the enthusiastic response from buyers is any indication, this particular chapter of creative exploration is a winner. “Everything is about making beautiful shapes and there’s something comforting about these nice fat pots—a round form is enticing to people,” he says.

Bernard’s constant evolution has proven to have another advantage—he’s learned to embrace failure. “Nothing works all the time,” he observes. “But when something doesn’t work, if you pay attention to what it did or why it did it, you can grow through that.”

Nicholas Bernard's Scottsdale pottery studio (opposite and bottom, left) extends through to his garden, allowing for a plethora of space for him to experiment with various techniques and forms. His earthenware pieces (left) consist of 12 layers of colors with an oxide wash and are fired in oxidation at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Interior Design and Home Builder: Kaitlyn Wolfe, Iconic Design + Build

Stone Age Natural materials are the star of the show in a Fountain Hills refresh.

A

Chicago couple had every intention of selling their second home in Fountain Hills based on one major factor: the aesthetic. “It never really spoke to me,” recalls the wife of the winter escape home they purchased eight years ago to use with their two grown daughters and their budding families. “It looked like Game of Thrones-meetsOlive Garden with lots of heavy bronze, shiny travertine floors, and all of these upside-down hearts and ornate swirls.”

But shortly before they left to return to Chicago from their last visit (and after learning they were expecting a grandchild), they decided to reevaluate.

Not only would they take the home off the market, but they also wanted to embark on a major overhaul and make it truly their own. Having never taken on a project like this before, the husband and wife knew they needed the help of an expert. After scouring the internet and arranging a consultation, the wife was confident she had found the right person—designer and builder Kaitlyn Wolfe. “I literally liked everything she did,” explains the wife.

“And I wanted to leave it with someone that could just run with it.”

Wolfe was up for the task. “There were rooms the wife wouldn’t even go into. The home felt like a dungeon,” she says, pointing to the dark floors, heavy light fixtures, ornate stone- and metalwork, and brown Venetian plaster in the bedrooms. “Although these details were very labor-intensive, it felt overdone and outdated.

The owners wanted the opposite of how it currently looked.”

Not wanting to alter the home’s footprint, Wolfe and her team focused on lightening and brightening the space; reinventing and moving some of the existing fireplaces (there were a total of eight, including some oddly configured ones on bathroom and bedroom walls); creating a Scandinavian-gone-desert vibe with soft, neutral tones; and preserving some of the existing stonework. “We were very intentional with the stone we decided to keep or modify to stay true to

228

LUXESOURCE.COM

the architecture, yet update it to feel current,” says Wolfe. She also brought in new natural rock to complement the existing stonework, making the diversity of material the featured design element.

“Throughout the home you can find window ledges and doorways wrapped in Cantera stone,” Wolfe says. “There are quartzite flagstone floors in the kitchen, a terrazzo fireplace surround in the living room and hood surround in the kitchen, as well as entire showers wrapped in stone slabs.”

In addition to the major stonework undertaking, lighting was essential. Wolfe smoothed out quirky recessed ceiling domes and replaced dated lighting draped with ornate ironwork and dangling crystals with modern pendant lamps and chandeliers. She purposefully mixed finishes and textures—matte black, brass and nude metal along with dark walnut, plaster and jute—and frosted the exposed bulbs to create cohesion. “The key was ensuring that the fixtures complemented each other,” Wolfe explains. “Essentially, we could’ve swapped any pendant light with another one or moved a sconce from one room to the next, and it would have been able to be completely interchangeable. This allows for an incredible experience as you walk through each space.”

While originally hired to focus on the architectural details, partway into the project Wolfe received an unexpected but welcome request from the husband. He wanted to surprise his wife for their anniversary with a finished home, with artwork, furnishings and accessories already in place. In a nod to the stonework as well as the underlying Scandinavian vibe, Wolfe chose soothing neutrals (shades of ivory, taupe and gray) and a mix of textures (nubby bouclé, supple leather and breezy linen) throughout. “We presented all of the proposed selections to the husband virtually and he approved them without his wife knowing,” recalls Wolfe. “They kept every piece.”

“We walked in and the whole thing was literally done,” says the wife of the surprise. “I was completely dumbfounded. Before, we hadn’t spent more than two weeks on any given trip at the house, and now we’ve spent months out here. It’s amazing what a renovation can do. It’s like we’re staying at this beautiful hotel.”

In efforts to transform a dark, dated home into a light and bright oasis, designer and builder Kaitlyn Wolfe created a custom concreteand-terrazzo fireplace surround fabricated by Compound Concrete. “The fluting lends to the majestic feeling of this home,” she says.

Sculptural accessories from Global Views, CB2 and Found by Domestic Bliss add to the depth of the space.

For a calming but sophisticated vibe in the living room, Wolfe chose a channeled ivory sofa by Kara Mann and balanced it with cerused oak, metal and matteblack pieces, such as the coffee table designed by Antoni Pallejà Office, as well as the brass and distressed-wood side tables, both from Noir.

“It’s one of only three homes on the sixth fairway with due southwest orientation,” notes general contractor Anthony Salcito Jr. “It’s really the best lot in Silverleaf.” With its stunning vistas of the golf course, valley and mountains, the property was indeed so special that the couple decided to buy it, despite the house not being to their taste. “The existing house was sitting too low on the site and aligned in the wrong direction,” Anthony recalls. “The more elevated you are, the more you capture the views, so in order to do that, the whole house needed to be realigned.” In a bold move, the couple decided to tear down the house, bringing on Anthony, his designer wife Rebecca Salcito, architect Erik Peterson and landscape architect Jeff Berghoff to construct their getaway from the ground up. “This is one of the most special lots in Silverleaf, almost as good as being on the ocean,” Peterson says. “You have to know a lot is worth it when someone purchases a home and tears it down.”

“Capturing views of the valley, desert and spectacular Scottsdale sunsets from virtually every room in the house was our top priority,” says the husband. Though the couple are technically empty nesters, their adult daughters frequently return home for visits, so they sought an expansive gathering place for the whole family to seek refuge from the cold Colorado winters.

They also wanted ample space for entertaining their friends, many of whom share the couple’s passion for golf.

Peterson drew upon the current trends in Los Angeles (he has a satellite office in Beverly Hills), conceiving a modern Mediterranean-style dwelling, mixing old- and new-world materials—

think a limestone exterior, Douglas-fir beams, steel windows and tile roofs. “We had to fight to be allowed to do this style in Silverleaf, which was new and unprecedented at the time, and now everyone in the community wants it,” Peterson laughs. Of course, there’s something else everyone wants—those desert views. And Peterson brought them in spades. The width and orientation of the lot enabled him to give most of the spaces—even the exercise room—key sight lines west, capturing views of both the golf course and those famous Arizona sunsets. “If you don’t like to work out then this room will change that,” he remarks.

“We wanted it to feel like a resort,” notes Rebecca. To this end, Peterson chose towering steel windows that either pocket away or slide open, enabling the walls to virtually disappear, creating a seamless transition outside. There— set off by Berghoff’s landscaping—large, covered patios with a multitude of seating areas, cabanas, fire pits and a dazzling infinity pool bring that resort feel to life. Completing the vibe is a sprawling outdoor bar made of onyx, backlit to create a dramatic focal point. “It’s the biggest bar we’ve ever put in a home,” Rebecca observes.

For the interiors, however, the designer chose a more understated look. With plenty of stone and wall treatments peppered throughout for texture (a Kyle Bunting hide wallcovering on the stairwell and a shield-like metallic kitchen backsplash, for example), Rebecca opted for crisp white walls and a neutral palette. Working with Cheryl Lucas, a designer who works for the homeowners, she created a warm relaxed vibe, echoing the desert surroundings. The soft tones also serve as the perfect backdrop to the owners’ art collection.

“They love bright, colorful art and I didn’t want anything to compete with that,” Rebecca explains.

While the decision to tear down and build anew may have been a risk, the house is decidedly worthy of its prominent location. “It is pretty fabulous when a project of this scope comes together so well,” says the husband. And the neighborhood locals agree. “It’s definitely one of the favorite homes on the golf course,” Rebecca says. “All the golfers comment on it. It’s spectacular.”

In the light-filled entry of this Silverleaf home, designer Rebecca Salcito selected a hide wall treatment by Kyle Bunting to provide textural contrast to the open-glass stair rail. The custom hair-on-hide rug from Atlanta-based Moattar adds a pop of color.

The silver, white and gray palette created by a Robert James Collection coffee table, swivel chairs covered in a snakeskinpatterned fabric by Kravet and a white Vanguard Furniture sectional allows the diptych by Hilario Gutierrez to take center stage in the living room.

Right: The bar, which is lined with Janus et Cie stools, “becomes the center point of the whole entertainment section,” says architect Erik Peterson, who designed it to serve both the indoor great room and the main outdoor living terrace.

Opposite: A glass waterfall chandelier by Serip creates a dramatic focal point in the dining room, which overlooks sweeping desert views. The design team turned to Century Furniture for customized pieces such as chairs upholstered in a pearlized leather from Florida-based Barbarossa Leather and a dining table with a mélange finish.

With prime views across the sixth hole of the golf course, the main bedroom, which is clad in a Ralph Lauren wallpaper, features a Robert James Collection carbon-finished walnut bed with a polished-steel canopy and accents. The Vanguard Furniture bench adds a touch of sheen with its Kravet metallic linen.

FORMS + STRUCTURES At the core of every design triumph—whether a legendary work of architecture, immaculate outdoor space or chic interior—are two basic guides: form and structure. From these deceptively simplistic concepts come all manner of creative feats; they act as the building blocks to greatness. And on the following pages, Arizona’s industry luminaries are giving us a peek inside the process, as they turn form and structure into celebrated design.

“Our clients understand the design goal of living with the desert environment rather than against it, allowing us to create our take on a more ‘desert modern’ style,” Carlos says.

“This focuses on smaller bodies of water, intentional shade and low-water vegetation. This has become something of a local movement; just ask Instagram: @prideauxdesign, @natural_building_works, @shopboxhill and @watershed_mg.

When asked about his creative process, Carlos Arzate, owner and designer behind Arzate Design Group, says, “We are not interested in simply making holes full of water. We seek to merge our creativity with the client’s lifestyle and expectations, seamlessly organizing spaces that are at once beautiful and effective.” And when it comes to Arzate’s specialty—pools and accompanying hardscapes—that means working with the architecture and interiors to build indoor-outdoor concepts. “Many of our clients have large sliding door systems, which essentially serve as a gateway to the open air,” Carlos says. “The lines of the home tell a story and, oftentimes, serve as a map for the overall backyard design. Exterior and interior must fundamentally work together.”

Using the sight lines and tone set by the architect, the Arzate team makes it happen.

SAVING THE GREEN In addition to crafting stunning, customized environments for its clients to enjoy, Arzate works toward two other parallel achievements: saving homeowners money and saving the planet. “We strive to mitigate the residual costs associated with caring for high-value outdoor spaces, always looking for ways to make our product last longer,” Carlos says. “We are developing a sustainable pool option that is a substitute for shotcrete and could make pools a lot more affordable, up front and over time.”

KOI TAKE THE STAGE “One client wanted to turn her small, yet beloved backyard koi pond into the primary feature,” Plocher says. “We built a multitiered, 13,000-gallon pond with 800 tons of boulders, desert specimens, a waterfall and a fire pit.” But perhaps best of all, a temperedglass front allows one a full view of the fish.

HOW IT’S DONE Plocher shares a few of the Desert Foothills team’s secrets to their signature creation: resort-style oases that support the desert’s natural beauty.

• Our private nursery collection enables us to provide premium plants and cacti in unusual sizes and styles.

• For flooring, we like to use a durable travertine that will stand up to the elements but also aesthetically bring the inside out.

When one takes in the beauty of a stunning home, it isn’t only the architecture that makes it striking. It’s also the landscaping. This is an idea that Jake Plocher and his team at Desert Foothills Landscape believe in and embrace on every project, designing with an “indoor-out, outdoor-in” philosophy that aims to blend landscape and architecture effortlessly, for an immersive experience. “Everything starts with the client and their unique home and environment,” Plocher says. “The first step is to meet them at the home, at which point we’ll also take pictures of the indoors and out to get a feel for the aesthetics before we begin planning.” Desert Foothills is even known for its collaboration with interior designers, in which the team gains a deep understanding of color, style and repeating textures for the sake of informing the landscape. “The play between exterior and interior is key.”

In a place as beautiful as Arizona, one expects a home to celebrate and integrate with the landscape.

For Jon Poetzl, that is undoubtedly the goal. “Both exterior and interior spaces are woven together,” the owner of Poetzl Architecture + Design says. “The play of light, shadow, views—it all adds to the decisions along the way. The client will live the project as one complete experience, so everything from architecture, to interior design, to landscaping should feel cohesive.” Together with the team at his namesake firm, Jon has become known for crafting high-end residences that exude an understanding of human scale, clean lines and simplicity. Still, he notes, “Every project is unique. We start by getting a feel for their wants, needs and direction.” Also key to Poetzl’s work is its intent to hold each custom home to the standards of its community, suiting both natural and man-made surroundings.

“There are three principles that guide all of my work,” Mark shares. “First, everything must function. The way something looks is, of course, important, but ‘form meets function’ is the heart of great design. Second, it’s important to bring the outdoors in. When your surrounding landscape is as beautiful and enjoyable as Arizona, you’ve got to integrate it into the lifestyle. Third, we strive to facilitate sensory experiences, whether that means designing an opening to capture a breathtaking visual or designing layouts with acoustics in mind.”

From modern to southwestern and anything in between, Mark A. Tate and his team at Tate Studio Architects are passionate explorers of all styles. “Our specialty is custom homes, so perfecting any aesthetic is our forte,” Mark says. “We accomplish this through careful research and collaboration with the client as well as their other team members. The ardent participation of all players involved is what transforms a home into livable art.” In the journey toward this ethos, Mark himself drew knowledge and inspiration from giants of two trades. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with architects and artists who shaped my career,” he says. “Eddie Jones, Al Beadle, Rich Fairbourn and Ben Goo have all taught me much and influence my work.” Asked what’s next for Tate Studio, Mark says, “We would love to expand out of the United States to work on even more incredible homes.”
