LETTER EDITOR’S

One of the great pleasures of editing this publication is being habitually exposed to design from across the country—an endless array of styles, influences, penchants and the like. In any given week, I review some three dozen homes from more than 15 cities. It’s an abundance to see, and to weigh in on. The weekly parade of living rooms and gardens, kitchens and closets, laundry rooms and bedrooms gives me a wonderful perch from which to view American design. If you asked what I’ve observed lately, I would say it’s exuberance. I’ve spotted elation expressed subtlety with tone-on-tone interiors, and conversely, seen it pronounced with heaps of whimsy and sparkle in vibrant wallpapers, glossy walls and astonishing lighting. What these homes, and the people living in them, are conveying is their taste and joyfulness. Aren’t we all fortunate to delight in the mix?

NESTING

MARKET BY MODERN NEST Modern Nest made a name for itself with its reimagined approach to residential design along Scottsdale’s Cactus Corridor. Instead of formal, contemporary or Tuscan, Modern Nest honored a different vision held by husband-and-wife owners Brendan and Jillian Bader: A home should be touchable, tasteful and modern. And the public agreed. So, in December 2020, the Baders decided to translate that design vision into a brick-and-mortar shop. Known as Market by Modern Nest, the 900-square-foot store in Old Town Scottsdale is designed to give visitors a taste of the firm’s rusticmeets-contemporary-meets-Californiameets-Santa Fe vibe. A stroll through the store is like walking through a smaller version of one of Modern Nest’s homes with lighting, textiles, dinnerware, candles, books, furnishings and vintage objects ready for browsing—and buying. Old Town has been good to the shop—there’s a steady stream of visitors and foot traffic— but they recently launched an e-commerce

option for those aficionados who don’t live close by. And, just as Modern Nest supports its local community of craftsmen and entrepreneurs, the store embraces its Arizona roots with exclusive artwork, locally made incense and the occasional pop-up shop. marketbymodernnest.com

ON VIEW

On display at Mesa Arts Center until August 7, “Somos Southwest” speaks to the rich history of the Southwestern United States and answers through art what it means to be of the region. The exhibition includes pieces by 29 artists, many of them from Arizona and all of them inspired by the Chicano Art Movement. The resulting themes are both broad and intriguing. There is Catholic iconography, an homage to Frida Kahlo, indigenous imagery and modern interpretations of family. The overall effect, notes Chief Curator of the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum at Mesa Arts Center Tiffany Fairall, is an exhibition that captures “the complexity of colonization and cross-cultural exchange.” mesaartscenter.com

MEET THE MAKER DALA AL-FUWAIRES

SCENE

DESIGN

When the pandemic struck, few industries were hit as hard as the restaurant and hospitality sector—and the designers like Dala Al-Fuwaires who catered to it. But if necessity is the mother of invention, then crisis is the mother of innovation. Al-Fuwaires took this dip as the push she needed to enter the product marketplace with peel-andstick wallpaper designed and produced entirely in Arizona. Here, the designer and founder of Form Paper Co. weighs in on the power of (wall)paper. formpaperco.com How is Form Paper Co. different from other peel-andstick wallpaper brands? It is both commercial and residential friendly, and all the patterns are created in-house by interior designers. What inspires your patterns? I like to think of our designs as bold, hip and edgy but also timeless, so I try to avoid anything overly trendy. A lot of our projects inform what we create. Cafezal do Brasil, for example, was made for a local coffee shop. The pattern is based on topographical maps of coffee farms. What are three pointers for picking the perfect pattern for a space? 1. Consider the mood you’re trying to create. Do you want to promote energy or calm? Find a design that aligns accordingly. 2. Use the paper to scale a room up or down. A larger room can use a bigger pattern; a smaller room can accommodate a more detailed pattern. 3. Color can be hard, because your taste changes year-round. So, look at your closet and pull out the items that you wear the most and feel best in for inspiration.

A LA CARTE TÍA CARMEN

At once cool and curvaceous, the newly opened Tía Carmen at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa offers more reasons to visit than just the food—although the contemporary Southwestern menu by celebrity chef Angelo Sosa is undoubtedly the main attraction. Imagined by Schoos Design, Tía Carmen captures the spirit of Sosa’s eponymous aunt: inviting, dynamic and authentic. From the textural, asymmetrical dinnerware to the interiors, which are at once voluminous and earthy, the design represents “the living canvas of the desert,” says Michael Berman, CEO of Schoos Design. Accordingly, visitors will find undulating plastered surfaces, soaring ceilings, retractable glass walls, carved doors and organic touches like live-edge wood tables. But the scene-stealers may just be up above. “We’d have to say our favorite features are the light fixtures,” Berman concedes, noting that the clusters of handmade white plaster shades and oversized basket fixtures evoke the adobe buildings and harvest baskets of indigenous cultures. tiacarmendesertridge.com

“The experience of a home should always be dynamic. The dynamism should come from a felt flow, a pouring of nature through the home – almost as if it is a tuning fork to the 360-degree experience. Moving through the house should always result in measures of awe, gratitude, and humility, as well as surprise.” -Dancing Light Homeowner

AN EYE-CATCHING LINE OF WALLCOVERINGS AND TEXTILES CHAMPIONS THE SPIRIT AND TRADITIONS OF LOUISIANA. W R I T T E N B Y K E L LY V E LO C C I J O L L I F F E

For over six decades, artist Francis X. Pavy has been keenly observing his South Louisiana surroundings. The region’s unique landscape and rich Cajun culture have been driving forces behind the narrative—and iconography—of his vibrant paintings. “I’m intrigued by the complexity of life here,” says Pavy, who’s been working out of his suburban Lafayette studio for 40 years. “It has depth and meaning; there is a story to be told.” Now, Pavy is drawing on imagery from his vast body of artwork for a debut line of textiles and wallcoverings.

He first noticed the symbol, which is used to designate marshland on a map, in a geologist’s office as a child. “I didn’t consciously say, ‘I need to remember this,’ but it became a part of an inner visual vocabulary that I filed away in my brain.” Then there is Briars, a creeping branch-like design inspired by thorny plants of the same name. As a teenager, Pavy watched as the sun illuminated a cluster growing in an empty field. “Sometimes, imagery makes a burning impression in my memory,” he says. “Or it comes back to me in a flash.” The artist, who teamed up with his wife to bring the line to fruition, is also using this opportunity to develop new

motifs, one of which portrays coastal Louisiana’s delicate ecosystem. In Stormy Waters, Pavy depicts “flora and fauna overcome by storm water.” They adorn the fabric alongside iconography of a man with his dog and a small telephone pole symbolizing “the edge of civilization.” This narrative is inspired by the state’s historic flood, in 2016, and devastation the artist witnessed firsthand. “I’m interpreting what I see in Louisiana,” he explains. “We have our own identity in food, speech and music. So why shouldn’t we have our own unique identity in art?” shop.pavy.com

LEADING MAKERS IN THE DESIGN WORLD DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF ART AND CRAFT SCHOOLS, AND WHY NOW MAY BE THE TIME TO ENROLL. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

Over the past several years, many people have spent time getting in touch with their creative side. As a result, an exploration, and revival, of craft—think pottery, woodworking and painting—has led to a renewed interest in arts educational programs. Several highly acclaimed schools across the country oﬀer dynamic workshops and degrees, allowing students to spend years honing in on a specialized area of study or simply attend classes to become better

acquainted with a new interest. Who better to weigh in on the merits of a formal education than three celebrated alums: glass artist Dale Chihuly on Haystack Mountain School of Crafts; industrial designer Jay Sae Jung Oh on Cranbrook Academy of Art; and glass artist and painter Corey Pemberton on Penland School of Craft. Their success stories not only bolster the legacies of these unique institutions but serve as inspiration for the next generation of makers.

For Oh, Cranbrook’s broad-thinking approach lured her from Seoul to the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, campus. “Their industrial design program lets you focus on your interests,” she explains. “The historical buildings, the environment—students from other majors like architecture, engineering, even anthropology—was fascinating to me.” This influx of varying viewpoints intensified her creativity, and she quickly garnered the attention of design pioneer Gaetano Pesce, who oﬀered her an internship and job opportunity after graduation. While now focused on her successful eponymous firm, Oh finds guest-lecturing at her alma mater a symbiotic relationship. “I like the engagement,” she says. “I get to see what students are interested in, and who they think the rock stars of design are today.” While studying graphic design at Virginia Commonwealth University, Los Angelesbased Pemberton developed an interest in glassmaking that led him to a summer

program at Penland in North Carolina. “My hand skills improved so much that the instructor oﬀered me a job,” he recalls. Pemberton went on to assistantships and residencies, returning to Penland for a coveted two-year fellowship where he augmented glassmaking with painting and other artforms. Today, Pemberton continues to remain busy, dividing his time between glassmaking and painting practices; an upcoming teaching stint at Haystack this summer; and serving as Director of Crafting the Future, a program creating more equitable opportunities for BIPOC students interested in the arts. “Craft schools are immersive and less formal than the collegiate route,” he says. “I’m a huge advocate [of them] and know how much you can learn.”

IMAGES: COURTESY OF RESPECTIVE ARTISTS.

Regarded as one of the founding fathers of contemporary American craft, Chihuly studied glass making at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Upon graduating, he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design where he received an MFA and taught for many years. Throughout his tenure, Chihuly spent summers teaching at Haystack in Deer Isle, Maine, during which time he realized “artists teaching artists is vital to helping students find their own path.” Founded in 1950, the school was considered experimental because it had no permanent faculty, nor did it oﬀer degrees. Remaining true to its roots, Haystack’s workshops and residencies are still taught by visiting faculty and remain sought-after programs today. Chihuly credits Haystack with influencing him to cofound Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, and, while no longer teaching, he continues to encourage “students to surround themselves with other artists. Watch how they live, not just how they work.”

UKRAINE’S GUNIA PROJECT SHINES A LIGHT ON THE COUNTRY’S LONG-STANDING CRAFT TRADITION. W R I T T E N BY M I C H E L L E B R U N N E R

In folk art, every brush stroke and every stitch tells a story, and when those crafts are lost to time, so too is a piece of history. It’s a reality that Natasha Kamenska and Maria Gavryliuk, founders of the Gunia Project, know all too well. “Handmade items have always been at the heart of Ukrainian life, yet few people pass on the beauty of this national culture to their children,” says Gavryliuk. In 2017, while volunteering at the Ivan Honchar Museum’s National Centre of Folk Culture in Kyiv, both women began to wonder why younger generations had forgotten folk crafts integral to their heritage. It sparked an idea: Form a collective of artists dedicated to producing Ukrainian crafts for a new audience using the traditional, timeworn skills of their ancestors.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Ceramic plates available through Ukraine’s Gunia Project depict religious and folk motifs from the country’s rich artistic history.

The duo embarked on a quest to find artisans, traveling throughout Ukrainian villages to seek out craftspeople by word of mouth. At a market in the town of Yavoriv, they encountered a gunya, a handmade sheep’s wool coat that serves as a talisman-like garment used during major life events. Finding inspiration in the object, they christened the company Gunia Project in 2019. Handmade items sold through the collective include fiber arts, glass and jewelry, in addition to a large inventory of painted ceramics featuring playful takes on folk-art motifs and religious themes. Many of the pieces sport images of saints and angels that loom large in Ukrainian faith and lore (their ceramic production

began with a single artist who happened to be trained as an icon painter). While the artistic sensibility of these pieces feels modern and fresh, the subject matter is timeless and deeply ingrained in the national identity. For Gavryliuk and Kamenska, preserving Ukrainian culture for future generations has acquired even more significance as of late. “With the war at our doors, we know that our culture needs to be preserved and cherished,” says Gavryliuk. “Art is so closely intertwined with history that destroying folk crafts destroys our cultural heritage, and the country as a whole,” adds Kamenska. guniaproject.com, thenopo.com

Find & Seek TODD NICKEY, THE DESIGNER AND PROPRIETOR BEHIND LOS ANGELES’ NICKEY KEHOE, DISHES ON THE THRILL—AND IMPORTANCE—OF THE HUNT.

Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe seek out beautiful pieces for design projects as well as their Los Angeles shop from flea markets, antique fairs and the like. Shown here is one such find: a vintage carved-wood entry door.

LUXESOURCE.COM

My partner Amy Kehoe and I have built our lives around being out in the world— at craft fairs, art shows, antique fairs and even flea markets—unearthing sources of inspiration. Although I enjoy searching for things online, it’s important for us to touch and feel objects. There’s only so much you can see about patina, texture and scale on a screen! We met a young woman, just out of art school, at a craft show a few years ago, and she was making beautiful sculptures and serveware from wood. I don’t want to sound too ‘woo-woo,’ but when she invited us to pick up her work, I could feel the energy she put into making it. The way she sands her pieces gives them a unique surface, something that’s impossible to manufacture. It’s exhilarating to meet people who are passionate about creating and making. Hunting and shopping in person is also where kismet happens. At times, I almost feel like a water witch with a divining rod because something just draws me to a piece—I find what I love by clearing my mind and exploring. I recently discovered a forged-iron company that makes the most extraordinary pieces and when I first saw them, I got jelly belly for a few minutes because it was such a thrill. This is an era where appreciation for art and craft is growing, and we are embracing it on all levels, from crude to posh and fancy. The importance of handmade goods can’t be overstated—it’s fundamental; it’s everything. nickeykehoe.com

Common Threads KYLE BUNTING RETURNS TO HIS ROOTS WITH AN AMERICANA-INSPIRED COLLECTION. For hide rug designer Kyle Bunting, family has always been at the core of his work. Take, for example, the Austinbased creatives lauded range of rugs, wall coverings and home accessories, which incorporate methods passed down from his father Jim, who owned a hide art and furniture company. Bunting’s inventive take on these techniques ultimately led to his eponymous empire of beautiful yet functional décor objects for the home. Now, more than two decades since getting his start, Bunting’s work is once again being shaped by those near and dear. This time around, Bunting looked to his mother, Peggy, and her longstanding passion for quilting as inspiration for his latest collection, Stateside. Playing off the striking patterns and graphic geometry of these traditional American textiles, the colorful new rug designs fuse the handiwork of both parents—all with Bunting’s signature spin. Each floor covering is created from pieced-together scraps, culled from repurposed hide cuttings and excess material collected during production. What’s more, the collaboration also presents an opportunity to spotlight an unsung artform. Women like Peggy, and her family, have looked to quilting as a means of expression, love and practicality for centuries. “One of my most prized quilts was my grandmother’s,” she explains. “This handmade heirloom was crafted 65 years ago, and it’s evident that each stitch was painstakingly, and thoughtfully, made.” It is the Buntings’ hope that these modern interpretations may also become treasured keepsakes and serve as timeless reminders of the historical fabric that connects families from one generation to the next. kylebunting.com

“For Lutron, light is energy; light is mood; light is a narrator of time.”

SYMPHONY OF LIGHT When Lutron’s innovative designs are involved, the home is more than just illuminated; it’s reinvented. •T unable lamps and luminaires restore the romance of candlelight and synchronize with the sun to dissolve the boundary between natural and built environments. •W hisper-quiet, automatic shades act as a natural extension to the light control system, balancing access to sunlight with sanctuary from it. •E very system is custom-designed and integrated by an expert to reflect the habits, preferences and personality of the end user, ensuring that whole-home control is more than intuitive—it’s second nature.

WORK WITH NATURE Among Lutron’s top tips is to design with the light, not against it. “Think of moonlight, sunrise, light-filtered green through trees, late-night embers in a dying fire— each moment is a canvas, and light is what soaks that canvas with color and feeling,” the team says. “Blend indoor and outdoor lighting with intention to match your mood and cultivate well-being.”

WINNING STREAK

LUXESOURCE.COM

When interior designer Summer Thornton’s Dallas client asked for a marble primary bath, she took the request to heart, sheathing the space in not one, but three different types: Arabescato Corchia in large-format slabs; Grey Lilac on the sink vanities; and Calacatta Viola for the makeup vanity, casings and windowsills. “It was quite the puzzle to install, but the nuance adds depth and interest,” says the Chicago-based designer. “The accent marbles are powerful, without being jarring. We were drawn to both the lilac shade as well as the Calacatta Viola’s plum tones.” All three stones also make an appearance on the floor, where they are carefully laid out in a “Mondrian-esque

pattern” in conjunction with strategically placed textured metallic tiles. The latter, along with a polished-nickel soaking tub and an antique wall mirror, bring additional light into the space. “There’s only one window, so these reflective surfaces bounce light around the room, making it feel twice as large,” notes Thornton. The metallic fittings and accents were also chosen to help add warmth, which is important in all-stone baths that can sometimes come across as cold. To further encourage an inviting atmosphere, Thornton selected cerused-oak wooden cabinetry and a tactile wicker vanity chair to complete the stunning scheme. summerthorntondesign.com

For the primary bath of a landmarked Tudor residence in Dallas, designer Summer Thornton employed three different types of marble to achieve its dynamic appearance. Hammered German Silver tiles from Paris Ceramics offset marble flooring. The space is outfitted with a polished-nickel tub from Catchpole & Rye, fittings from Waterworks, Murano-glass vanity scones from Jean-Marc Fray and a Vaughan ceiling fixture.

MOODY MOMENT STUDIO LIFE/STYLE

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl, the duo behind West Hollywood firm Studio Life/Style, approached this Los Angeles powder room with a sophisticated-yet-daring eye. “We knew early on that we wanted to use a stone with lots of movement and color for the custom vanity,” says Zwickl. The designers landed on Calacatta Viola marble, which features burgundy veining that pairs perfectly with a deep green plaster finish on the walls. Below, Zwickl dives into more detail. studio-lifestyle.com What was the inspiration behind the design? A powder room presents the perfect place to have a little fun! We were trying to create something moody with a touch of drama, and a dark color paired with striking stone always works well in small spaces.

Tell us about the wall treatment? A contrasting wall color can help bring out the stone’s natural tones. Here, we chose Portola Paints & Glazes’ Roman Clay in the Lone Park shade, which adds extra depth to the room and plays with the reflection of light. Lindsey Adelman scones and a Gio Ponti−style mirror complete the look.

Is the rest of the home this bold? This is one of the darkest rooms in the house, so it’s a bit of a departure. We like when the powder room serves as a little surprise for guests as they experience the home.

TURNING HEADS

Every jewel box needs some shimmer, and Kohler’s recently debuted Statement shower collection offers just the right amount of bling. The line contains four hand showers, two body sprays, four rain heads and an oval showerhead (shown in Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass). The oval head—which is available in both 10-inch and 12-inch lengths—is designed to deliver a robust stream of water that simulates a soaking summer storm. Additional finishes include Polished Chrome, Vibrant Brushed Nickel and Matte Black. kohler.com

SUPER SOAKER

Drummonds tapped industrial designer Marc Newson to envision a collection of bath products that marries the company’s classic aesthetic with his penchant for sinuous shapes and sleek lines. Items range from shower controls to taps and mixers, but the star of the show is the Coln bathtub, which features elegant contours made from composite marble with customizable metal feet. drummonds-uk.com

CLEAN & CLEAR

Subtle details such as an arched ribbon spout and transparent lever handles give Brizo’s new Allaria Widespread Lavatory a cool, modern twist. Shown in Brilliance Luxe Gold/Clear, the streamlined faucet is available in seven additional finishes, along with the option of a square spout with knob or twist-lever handles. To complement this faucet, the collection includes tub fillers, shower components and coordinating hardware that is sure to deliver a sense of polish and effortless style to any bath. brizo.com

GOING GREEN LUXESOURCE.COM

Statement slabs are one of the most effective ways to transform a space. Therefore, when the owners of this Boise, Idaho, residence called upon designer Jordan Yankovich of KovichCo Interiors to revamp their primary bath, she doubled down on green-hued Scala marble. “This stone has so much personality, with large green pools that the clients loved,” says Yankovich. “Real stone always feels new and fresh because you’re constantly discovering different patterns in the veining.”

Maximizing natural light was important to the scheme, so the designer added a see-through gas fireplace which allows daylight to flow between the bath and bedroom. Copper, nickel, steel, bluestone and oak complement the marble and round out the room’s palette. “The client is a mining engineer, so these finishes are a nod to his profession,” notes Yankovich. “The materials are fancy, but they are used in a way that feels timeless and approachable.” kovichco.com

In the corner, a seethrough gas fireplace from European Home provides views into the bedroom and out to the river beyond.

Limestone pavers flow through the entry (left), bathroom (below) and living-dining space (opposite), creating a timeless thread that welcomes sandy feet and muck boots alike.

EASY ELEGANCE

For designer Elizabeth Lawrence, a ground-up guest residence in Southampton provided a unique opportunity to bridge the old with the new. Building upon Georgian-influenced architecture by Michael Dwyer (largely inspired by Frances Elkins’ interiors), and led by her client’s appreciation for antiques, Lawrence began layering palette and pattern to imbue a sense of calm, collected sophistication to

the dwelling, which serves as a year-round getaway. The result reads “a bit like an English country home, but with a Southampton twist,” notes Lawrence. She kept the ethos of-a-place with choice details like subtly coastal paint colors custom-crafted by Donald Kaufman throughout, and a bespoke entry mural by Artgroove depicting the seaside town. “The mix of casual living in a formal setting is what makes this project so interesting,” muses the designer, pointing to the breezy spirit of the open-concept living-dining room—a pleasing contrast to the grand

architectural detailing. A similar dichotomy can be found in the surprising throughlines that lace together collections of wooden antiques, sumptuous, high-pile carpets and historically reverent textiles. Modern artworks and contemporary lighting are hallmarks of the design, and Lawrence’s artful placements— like an enormous Noguchi lantern above the dining table—typify the “Southampton twist” she endeavored to achieve at the outset. “At night, when that’s the only thing lit,” she notes, “it almost looks like the moon is hanging there.” bunnywilliams.com

WORLDS AWAY

LUXESOURCE.COM

When a couple’s search for a larger primary residence came up short, they abandoned the idea and turned to landscape architect John Howard to reconceive their existing Buckhead, Georgia, backyard instead. Crowning the greenspace, a potting shed designed by architect William B. Litchfield (an homage to Bunny Mellon’s folly at Oak Spring Farm), underscores the bucolic manner of the newly appointed oasis. Trellising strung with Madison jasmine and climbing roses “serves

as a transitional, unifying moment between the terraced lawn and surrounding woodlands,” notes Howard. In collaboration with Litchfield and interior designer Liza Bryan, he specified bluestone pavers, barnwood paneling and a soapstone sink for flower arranging. Happily, the clients purport to using the shed as a bar and serving area when entertaining, too, treating friends and family to all the charms of a pastoral soiree—from the convenience of Atlanta proper. howarddesignstudio.com

URBAN RESPITE

“We wanted to create a country house in the city,” shares Sara Gilbane of her clients’ Manhattan residence. Taking cues from a prolific collection of antiques and artworks, the designer set about capturing the spirit of the family’s ancestral Pennsylvania farmhouse in their newly purchased downtown apartment, which she transformed from austere white box to characterful flat alongside architect Gerard Beekman. Take the guest room, where, enveloped by a painterly Lewis & Wood wallpaper, Gilbane employed streamlined canopies to “cozy up” antique metal beds dressed in early American quilts. Or the entry hall, where the selection of tumbled stone flooring in a timeless black-and-white check lays the foundation for oil painting gallery walls and millwork painted a chalky hue that feels snatched from a country residence benefitting from centuries of patina. “We live in a world where so much is accessible and, in turn, so much is the same,” muses Gilbane. “That is in part why this ‘old with a twist’ aesthetic is resonating today— it’s just refreshing.” saragilbaneinteriors.com

David Scott

Joy Moyler

Young Huh

David Scott established his namesake firm, David Scott Interiors, with a belief that interiors should reflect the style and personality of their owner—not simply the designer. The natural connection a client has with their home drives each design, resulting in a portfolio of highly personal environments. With almost 30 years of experience, Scott has created diverse and artful designs in an array of styles for numerous clients. Visually stimulating yet supremely functional, Scott’s interiors gracefully meld the timeless elegance of the past with today’s modern aesthetic.

For interior designer Joy Moyler, fashion is a driving force behind her diverse body of work. Textiles, color and pattern seep into her projects, which are punctuated by bespoke details often found in haute couture. She developed a penchant for architecture after visiting Spain as a teenager. Enthralled by the light, color and textures of Madrid and Barcelona, she decided to pursue a Bachelor of Science in architecture. Moyler’s experience spans the globe and encompasses residential, retail, hospitality and commercial projects infused with local culture. Moyler’s portfolio also includes A-list celebrity residences, including Harry Winston’s Beverly Hills home.

A Detroit native, Young Huh received a law degree from Fordham University. While pursuing further education and an internship in interior design, Huh discovered her true calling and founded her New York City-based design firm in 2007. Resetting the design narrative for each project, Huh’s work is about finding harmony and dynamism through the application of classic and modern design principles. Thoughtful architectural details provide the groundwork for warm and welcoming interiors, each animated by sophisticated surface treatments, a singular play of pattern and color, as well as a touch of wanderlust.

• What’s new? We started construction on our first net-zero home, which is a real adventure and is propelling us into the next generation of home construction.

An inherent understanding of quality and craftsmanship paired with expert skills and fearless determination are the keys to building a great construction firm. As the owner and president of Apollo Builders, Tyler Kestner checks all of those boxes. “Growing up, I worked for my father’s custom home building company during the summers,” Kestner says. “He taught me every facet of the business and showed me the importance of doing things right the first time. So, when I launched Apollo in 1988, I was able to apply those lessons to my own work and establish an excellent reputation for luxury remodeling and new builds.” The confidence Kestner gained from his experiences also imbued him with a sense of tenacity. “Although Apollo is a small, boutique firm, we challenge ourselves to take on big projects and work closely with architects, designers and homeowners to create groundbreaking designs.”

When artistic freedom meets design discipline, great things happen. This ideal is at the heart of Art for Modern Life, the brand that is Anita Lewis. “While painting in oils most of my life, I also had an interior design career that lasted more than three decades,” Lewis says. “I went back to fine art 16 years ago, and since then my works have been featured in galleries, art and design magazines, expositions and fairs, as well as civic and cultural institutions such as Formula 1’s Grand Prix and the MD Anderson Cancer Center. And Misty Copeland, principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre, owns one of my pieces.” Lewis’ design background has had a profound impact on her work and way of creating. “A major theme for me is how art and architecture support one another,” she adds. “Forms, surfaces, textures, colors and stark linearity bring great art and powerful architecture together.”

When it comes to their business, bigger isn’t necessarily better for this design duo, who say they are very lucky to be at a point where they can be more selective with the projects that they decide to take on. Their focus is quality, not quantity. As Melanie puts it, “We are kind of unique in the fact that our goal is to stay a small firm and not grow into this massive company. We are creative, and the larger the firm grows, the more disconnected we feel with our employees and clients. We don’t enjoy creating when we are overwhelmed, so why do that? We want to be the firm that people seek for a custom, hands-on experience with designers who connect with their lifestyle needs.”

This helps us know each project like the back of our hand,” Rhiannon says. Family is a priority in their lives, too. “We are flexible with everyone’s schedules to allow creativity to flow.” And with 11 new builds currently in the design phase, the firm continues to raise the bar. Most recently, they’ve completed a handful of homes in the prestigious new Solitude development.

LIKE RIDING A BIKE In renovating a historic Phoenix ranch, a couple gets back to their sociable, SoCal roots.

Brickwork painted a custom Dunn-Edwards white creates a crisp envelope for this renovated ranch in Arcadia. Beneath an RH sconce, a bench from The Old Grainery distills the home’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor living.

hat I love most about Phoenix is that it’s still a bit of the Wild West,” shares designer Kylie Wolfe. “People come from all over seeking the same thing—good weather and balance in their lives— and it makes design here really fun.” Such was the line of thought that prompted Wolfe to move from California back to her hometown to launch her interior design business. Around the same time, Wolfe’s mother, Cynthia Harmon, was craving a new chapter. After raising her family in the suburbs, she found herself longing for a more active lifestyle—one akin to her pre-kid years in Hermosa Beach, California, where she’d hop on her bike to see a movie or meet friends for dinner. Further, she’d always wanted a quirky old house. When a real estate agent showed her a historic ranch in Arcadia with a past life as a brothel and “an amazing energy,” as Cynthia describes it, she was a goner. Sweetened by proximity to Camelback Mountain and Ingleside Golf Club, she got her turnkey-leaning husband, Doug, on board with the plan. Then she hired her daughter. “Architecturally there was so much integrity, but the spaces weren’t talking to each other,” notes Wolfe, who, alongside general contractor Rick Stark, set about stripping decades of wear and alterations in an effort to return the 1940s residence to its roots. Along the way, an origin story revealed itself. When Sheetrock came down during demolition revealing brick walls in the kitchen, living and dining room, mother and daughter were all too happy to paint them white and let them shine. “We loved that element of age and showing off how the home was built,” says Wolfe. That same mindset extends throughout the abode, including the dining room, where decorative woodwork patterning on the ceiling was lovingly rehabbed and whitewashed. Great attention was paid to sourcing period-appropriate replacement windows, antique vents for heating and AC ducts, and glass knobs for the interior doors. With the restoration underway, Wolfe turned to finishes to create a fresh foundation that nods

to her parents’ SoCal upbringings. “We picked elements that were pretty simple—nothing over the top because they are casual people—but we did incorporate special touches,” she says. To wit: textural Santa Fe skim-coated walls, hand-cut and hand-painted tiles surrounding the stove and fireplace, and sleek matte black hardware to break up the otherwise white palette. “I didn’t want everything to feel too ethereal. Black achieves that; it grounds things,” notes Wolfe. If the decorating process reads like a catharsis, that’s because it was one. “We were looking to simplify our lives. I wanted clean, with no clutter and tons of light,” shares Cynthia. Indeed, says Wolfe, the process was an exercise in paring back— then paring back some more. “For every would-be purchase, I said ‘That’s great, but will you like it in five years?’ That was our approach and why the design is minimalist,” she explains. In purging her parents’ existing collection and starting anew, Wolfe was able to look to her favorite vendors in selecting perfect pieces for the context. Take the dining room, where, lacking any sense of symmetry, Wolfe leaned into the pitched roof and incongruous door procession, draping an asymmetrical light fixture over the dining table like a cool piece of jewelry. “That fixture just takes care of the whole room—it speaks my language,” says Cynthia. A pair of leather safari chairs— “Vintage is my signature,” Wolfe quips—bring a like-minded element of edginess to the living room. In the primary bathroom, a custom cerused-wood vanity (modeled after an antique dresser Cynthia earmarked during the design process) similarly breaks up the sea of crisp, white modernity with something wholly unexpected. Recently, Wolfe accessorized the dwelling in advance of her parents’ first party, where new friends from the neighborhood were treated to a margarita machine, tacos and a pickleball tournament. Evidently, the project has been a meaningful gateway for both generations. “This home has become a beacon of community and a real manifestation of the lifestyle they were looking for,” notes the designer, adding of her first full-scale renovation under her own firm, “it’s been incredible to see.”

All in Good Fun

A California family’s new Arizona abode is anything but boring. W R I T T E N BY M I K K I B R A M M E R P H O T O G R A P H Y BY I S A AC B A I L E Y

Interior Design: Jaimee Rose, Jaimee Rose Interiors Home Builder: Erik Tinker, Tinker Development

California family had one word in mind for the renovation of their parttime home in Paradise Valley: fun. “They wanted it to be lighthearted, bright, colorful—nothing boring,” says interior designer Jaimee Rose. “And to have unexpected moments anywhere we could possibly fit one in.” Unsurprisingly, that also made the project extra enjoyable for Rose and her team as they reimagined the house to fit the client’s vision. But that didn’t mean that practicality went out the window—this was a family with four kids and three dogs, after all. As it stood, the original home, designed by architect Scott Carson and general contractor Erik Tinker, had a more traditional farmhouse aesthetic. The couple wanted to infuse some more contemporary vibes into the space, so Rose, working with Tinker, began by incorporating sleek plastered, painted and wallpapered surfaces. In the living room, black beams set a striking contemporary tone against the white ceilings. As the family HQ, not only did the room’s furnishings need to stand up to the antics of kids and canines, but also, since the space opens out onto courtyards on both sides, they needed to be weather resistant. “You see the room when you walk up to the house, so, being front and center, it had to be very chic,” Rose recalls. “We were told in no uncertain terms: absolutely no leather, no boring upholstery, no boring sofas.” Oh, and it needed to feel “sexy.” With that in mind, she aimed for a high-end hotel ambience, with sophisticated gray sofas and sculptural armchairs. “They invite you to cozy up to the fireplace, linger and chat—and maybe not turn on the television,” Rose says. In the name of keeping things relaxed, the designer took every opportunity to bring unconventional shapes into the home—through light fixtures, chairs, side tables, artwork and wallcoverings. “The wife has an artist’s eye, so we were trying to balance the really traditional farmhouse lines of the dwelling with more organic forms,” Rose explains. Texture-wise, she focused on tactile surfaces such as shearling, alpaca, concrete and woven grass.

To enliven the relatively black kitchen, the design team brought in fresher, more organic Californiainspired pieces, like the white rope stools that line the island. They also removed many of the more ornate details, such as the wood trim on the glass cabinetry and design flourishes on the range hood. Over in the dining room, one requisite piece of furniture is noticeably absent—a dining table. “That’s how we really knew that they wanted their house to be fun,” Rose laughs. “They said, ‘Let’s make this a pool room.’ ” So, Rose brought in a custom pool table and a neon sign dictating the spirit of the household: Good Vibes Only. When the family does commune for meals, the outdoor tables and kitchen islands are the eating areas of choice. But the dining-turned-pool room isn’t even the most vibrant space in the abode. That accolade belongs to the “teen room,” which opens out onto the pool and provides a space for the kids to hang out away from their parents. A custom graphic wallpaper provides an emphatic backdrop to a cluster of cheerful artworks, tying in with the bold accent pillows and playful furnishings. “We chose things that made the room feel fun, bright and happy,” Rose explains. “The woven light fixture grounded it with a heavy, organic moment to balance all the crazy color.” And when the siblings tire of one another, their individual bedrooms are equally appealing. In the room of one son, an avid skateboarder, wooden decks and skateboard wheels line the walls, complemented by bright yellow industrial construction lights that evoke the sunshine of California. And for the 4-year-old daughter, Rose crafted a fairy tale-like room with a custom fourposter bed and hand-drawn wallpaper, along with a feather chandelier that Rose’s mother created during the install. “The one that we purchased wasn’t large enough, so we ordered more feathers and got our craft on,” the designer says. While the design of that bedroom was meant to inspire the young daughter to sleep in her own room rather than that of her parents— a moody space with luxe textures and a dark palette—that hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. “The parents love their bedroom, and they sleep great,” Rose says. “But unfortunately, the daughter loves it too!”

The leather chandelier by Ngala Trading Co. hanging in the entryway is representative of this home’s fun spirit. To anchor the room, designer Jaimee Rose created a custom marble table and stool upholstered in a Kelly Wearstler fabric for Lee Jofa.

In the living room, a Palecek chandelier hangs over chairs covered in genuine shearling from Moore & Giles and sofas upholstered in a Perennials velvet. Artwork by Loren Yagoda is mounted over the fireplace.

DREAM WEAVER Transforming everyday materials, a Phoenix mixed-media artist finds poetry in the ordinary. W R I T T E N BY M O N I Q U E M C I N T O S H P H O T O G R A P H Y BY B R A N D O N S U L L I VA N

rom afar, it is difficult at first to ascertain exactly what Phoenix-based artist Denise Yaghmourian uses to create her geometric patterns and ethereal sculptures. A closer look, however, reveals these complex pieces often incorporate humble craft supplies and utilitarian objects, like buttons, zip ties and wire. The artist delights in extracting such vibrant life from generic materials. “There’s something about taking a machine-made item that’s perfectly done and adding your own imperfection—that human touch,” she explains. The found objects themselves often feel personally significant to the artist. Yaghmourian’s current work stems from her childhood awe of her grandmother’s needlecrafting space, where she watched her transform sewing supplies into something wholly new. “I remember being fascinated, opening the closets and looking at all the threads and fabrics,” recalls Yaghmourian fondly. Shown recently at the Bentley Gallery in Phoenix and the Tempe Center for the Arts, Yaghmourian creates flat works and sinuous sculptures using similar sewing paraphernalia. In her central ongoing “Fiber Field” series, she winds thread around eyelet strips layered onto canvas or wood panels. Both materials are repurposed commercially made products; the threads include varieties used in upholstery, while the eyelet tapes are borrowed from hook and eye fasteners made for bras and corsets. Liberated from their practical confines, these items merge into a meditative procession of lines and waves that draw inspiration from American minimalist artists like Agnes Martin. Though methodical in her technique, Yaghmourian never precisely preplans her layouts, underscoring each stitch as a human, expressive gesture. Varying the thickness of thread she uses to create more visual dimension, the artist enjoys using fiber in unique shades and even occasionally hand-dyes the eyelet strips with coffee or tea. Due to her constant experimentation with materials, her studio is filled with objects waiting to be transformed. “I have things that hang around for years until finally they make sense,” she confesses. For the artist, there is something enduringly profound in forging beauty from the miscellaneous items that fill our lives. “I think it speaks to the way we all rely on each other,” says Yaghmourian. “Each thing is dependent on another. And that’s what life is about.”

“I try to look for threads with varieties of textures,” says Denise Yaghmourian of her embroidered pieces. Recent series include “Fiber Field” (opposite), “Fiber Cube” (left) and other experimentations, such as the paint-paper-and-thread pieces “Explorations at Orquevaux” (bottom) that she started while at a residency in France.

or a young couple and their children, almost every day at their newly built dwelling in Phoenix’s Arcadia neighborhood is like a small block party, filled with playdates and visits from local friends. And that’s exactly what they intended. Prior to having children, the husband and wife built a modern residence that became a little too austere for their growing household—more of a showpiece than a family-friendly abode. “It felt like a resort rather than a home,” explains interior designer Caroline Tyler DeCesare, who along with architect Matt Thomas, was brought on to the project by builder Ryan Patten. “The goal was to come to a neighborhood with sidewalks and people walking around, and have this home be cozy. They still wanted it to include cool, modern elements but feel more comfortable and traditional.” Arcadia, with its charming residences and lively community, was the perfect fit. So, the couple purchased two adjacent lots surrounded by towering ficus trees and views of Camelback Mountain. They then set out to combine the properties and construct their new dream dwelling with a separate guest house for family and friends. “During the past 15 years or so, Arcadia has become a very eclectic neighborhood in terms of architectural style,” notes Thomas. “Many of the low-slung ranch residences from the 1950s have been torn down and new homes built in every style from contemporary to East Coast.” This greatly appealed to the couple, who aren’t fans of stereotypical Arizona architecture consisting of clay tile roofs and brown stucco. “The husband is from Virginia, and he is drawn to a more traditional aesthetic,” explains Thomas. “The wife was on the same page. They were unified in their design goals.” Avoiding materials often found in desert homes, Thomas and Patten instead chose to use reclaimed Silver Fox limestone sourced from Northern Indiana, basalt stone and wood siding—a mix that feels classic while still nodding to the contemporary. A nextlevel modern farmhouse, if you will. “All of the exterior finishes—the steel doors and windows

and Spanish cedar beams—are fabulous and timeless,” notes DeCesare. She and project designer Michelle Drake wanted to bring the same style to the interiors, incorporating a textural, soothing palette of blues, grays and whites. DeCesare affectionately dubbed the style “Sonoma Modern,” winking to the barns and wineries inherent in Northern California. Every inch of the nearly 10,000-square-foot home is designed to meticulously adapt to the family’s needs. The space is layered with durable, stain-resistant fabrics and rugs to hold up against spills and the family’s two dogs. This was a necessity considering the multitude of guests they host, including the children’s many neighborhood friends. “It’s all about entertaining. They are always having people over,” Thomas says. A spacious great room that opens to the kitchen, which showcases double islands with deep blue cabinetry, allows for an overflow of visitors. And the room’s oversize 5-foot-deep sofa is ideal for family movie nights. Outside, in the yard crafted by landscape designer Jeff Berghoff, a batting cage, sport court, putting green, splash pad and swimming pool guarantee no one gets bored. “There are all of these little destinations and zones,” DeCesare notes. That’s true for the adults as well as the kids. A Soho speakeasy-inspired “man cave” with tufted banquettes, industrial stools and an aged-brasstopped bar provides an old-school setting for evening cocktails. When the couple is ready to retire for the night, a mini-fridge and fireplace in the main bedroom’s library-like lounge provides the perfect sitting area for late-night TV watching. “One of the best compliments is that they use every single room,” DeCesare says. “And with the more modern, cleaner furnishings, it will remain as great in 15 years as it is now.” The family is completely at home—so much so that they rarely like to leave. “This house really flexes for what they need,” the designer observes. “There are so many residences that are like museums where you feel like you can’t sit down or take off your shoes. This is truly a family dwelling, and every space is meant to be lived in and enjoyed.”

The light-filled entry is awash in Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White, and a pendant by The Urban Electric Co. anchors the space. Wall paneling by Door Works cleverly conceals extra storage for coats and miscellaneous items.

Designer Caroline Tyler DeCesare softened vaulted ceilings with a chandelier by Roll & Hill and selected comfortable seating options, such as Rowe Furniture swivel chairs. A large Millcreek Furniture console creates a natural partition between the great room’s sitting area and adjacent kitchen.

MAKING OF FLAGSTAFF “You might argue that Flagstaff is an emerging style, not yet of its own,” Jay explains. “This leaves the door open for designers to establish ‘the Flagstaff-style home,’ and we hope to be at the center of establishing this as well. That said, one of the notable things about design here is the variety of aesthetics present, from old-world construction with reclaimed timbers to mountain modern structures with minimalist lines and industrial steel.”

Flagstaff is a place known for its unique blend of “get outdoors” culture and luxury living. It is a city where people both embrace the adventurous spirit of nature and appreciate the finer things. And that is just where Reitz Builders fits in. Known for its ability to perfect “modern rustic luxury,” the firm has, unsurprisingly given its cultural alignment, become a part of the fabric of the community. “We have chosen to work exclusively local,” says owner Jay Reitz. “Some of our new builds have begun with a conversation outside a coffee shop or at the trailhead before a mountain bike ride.” Jay goes on to describe the ethos that makes those initial conversations so fruitful in the eyes of the client. “Our vision is to expand their living spaces beyond the four walls and into the natural beauty of the alpine landscape, ponderosa forests and scenic vistas of the San Francisco Peaks.”

estled between the open prairie, pastoral state lands and the majestic San Francisco Mountains, this 15-acre parcel in Parks, Arizona is the site where LGE Design Group and Reitz Builders have joined forces to create a forward-thinking, high-design family retreat. Through strategic siting, the project aims to minimize environmental impact while maximizing key views and solar gain. In order to simplify the method of construction, the structural design will take cues from the region’s building traditions and pitched roof vernacular. Inside, a series of sleeping spaces and cozy living areas will give way to an impressive great room that is the true heart of the home. Featuring a top-lit, vaulted ceiling and outstanding views of Humphrey’s Peak, this central gathering space opens onto an expansive wraparound covered porch that will allow for seamless indoor/outdoor living.

Asked to describe her approach to design, Larsen says, “I gravitate toward a modern organic style, choosing soft, subtle neutrals and focusing on layouts that maximize natural light. We opt for top-quality materials, like wood, stone, metal and linen, that allow the beauty of the surroundings to truly shine. It is an understated way of rooting every project in our local heritage.”

creating retreats for living well. “Great design is about telling a story of who we are, what we love and the experiences that shape us,” she says. “It’s about striking the perfect harmony between beauty and function, and offering space to celebrate the joys of the everyday.” Her clients, it seems, are sharing the sentiment. “They are seeking design solutions that allow them to embrace home in a way previously overlooked. From finding the perfect lighting solutions for work, to designing smooth indoor-outdoor transitions, it’s about intentionality.”
