Celebration of the Industry’s Leading Interior Designers, Architects + Professional Painters

WHEN IT COMES TO THE ESSENTIALS OF INTERIOR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE, FEW ELEMENTS ARE AS VITAL AND VERSATILE AS THE FINAL FINISH. Paint is not just a backdrop; it is the essence of design, bringing depth, character and emotion to every room. It often tells stories of personal, historical and cultural significance while enhancing functionality with its durability and timeless appeal. For the industry luminaries who meticulously select colors, finishes and application techniques, paint is a powerful tool of expression and innovation.

This special feature celebrates the craftsmanship and work of 13 interior designers, architects and paint contractors who have forged strong partnerships, united by a shared passion for the transformative power of paint.

In collaboration with Benjamin Moore, meet the six talented teams across North America, whose collective expertise converges to create projects that are both beautiful and meaningful. Discover the magic that happens when creativity and teamwork meet as we introduce this year’s Faces of Design.

TORONTO, CANADA

COLETTE VAN DEN THILLART + MARIANO TORO

Layers of historical reference, touches of wit and personalized allure—these are the characteristics by which the work of designer Colette van den Thillart is known. Much of it comes to life with the addition of paint, and her partnership with contractor Mariano Toro is key. In discussing their creative collaboration, van den Thillart shares a recent project she and Toro completed. “For a spectacular house in Toronto with an interior dining room that had only one window, we chose Benjamin Moore’s Chartreuse 2024-10 in matte and painted all the walls and the ceiling in this ethereal color. The resulting space felt like an art installation; it is vibrant and dynamic during the day, but moody and poetic by nighttime candlelight.” Essential to the outcome was Toro’s application expertise. He shares the depth of it while mentioning another project: “For a client who wanted an almost glass-like finish, I came up with a method for creating a mirror effect that required many coats of paint and sanding between coats.” Alongside their love of unique colors and applications, van den Thillart and Toro share a passion for finding the perfect product to suit each client’s goals.

ERIN SHAKOOR + EDUARDO GONZALEZ FLORES

An interior designer’s passion for color, texture and finishes demands exceptional craftsmanship. Erin Shakoor, distinguished for her love of dynamic material juxtapositions, relies on the skill of Eduardo Gonzalez Flores to flawlessly execute her creative visions. “Eduardo helps us achieve every exacting step with flying colors (pun intended),” Shakoor enthuses. She emphasizes the positive outcomes of their work together by sharing a recent project: “For a whole-house design, our clients wanted their primary bedroom to feel, function and look like a luxury hotel suite. Our thought was to evoke intimacy. We decided that the custom-paneled walls, crown molding and ceiling should be painted in Olympus Green 679. The wood floors had a similarly rich finish, and together, they created a cocooning effect.” Regarding applying one hue throughout a space, Flores shares his techniques, saying, “When using the same color, I like to select a different sheen for each surface. For example, flat ceilings, eggshell walls and semi-gloss trims all in one shade.” One look at the duo’s joint portfolio showcases the stunning results of this thoughtful approach.

ADAM HUNTER + ASAF AMARIO

In the art of design, expert trade skills converge to create a cohesive project. Among these, two seemingly juxtaposed yet perfectly complementary approaches stand out: a grand vision for overall aesthetics and an eye for intricate details. The power of this combination is evident in the collaboration of Adam Hunter and Asaf Amario. “Each of us plays a role in ensuring the design and execution are seamless,” Hunter explains. “I manage the overarching concept and material selection, while Asaf and his team focus on the technical application.” Since their introduction through industry connections five years ago, the duo has discovered a profound alignment in style and work ethic, leading to numerous successful projects. One of their

favorite projects showcases their combined expertise. “We transformed a dining room by applying a pink hue with a gloss finish, creating a vibrant, energetic atmosphere that uplifts the mood,” Amario shares. “The glossy finish bounces light around, making the room feel bigger—it’s stunning and perfect for lively get-togethers.” Hunter adds, “We always start with the client’s preferred palette and then suggest modifications to suit the lighting and space. This approach brings a custom element, ensuring the final design exudes the homeowner’s personality.” This special partnership showcases the remarkable synergy between design expertise and meticulous precision in application. adamhunter.com; mastercustompainting.com

NOZ NOZAWA + PHILIP STOREY

If there is one overarching theme that becomes apparent upon viewing the portfolio of designer Noz Nozawa, it’s color, color, color. For one so obsessed with bold hues, partnering with the right contractor is essential. Fortunately, Nozawa has found that in Philip Storey. “He is proud of the quality his team brings to the project and cares deeply about turning over a painted home that will last,” she says. The duo has been working together ever since a contractor friend introduced them in 2018. To hear each of them talk about why they love their jobs, the shared passion is obvious. “I get to help people bring to life a manifestation of who they are and what is most important to them,” Nozawa says. “Paint is always a necessary component and one of the most flexible ways to imbue a space with the exact nuance of a spirit or personality.” Storey weighs in, “We live in such a beautiful area with amazing nature, design and architecture. I love that my job gives me an opportunity to experience that and add to the beauty of our city by the bay.” nozdesign.com; redhillpainting.com

“When Noz asks us to work with her on a project, I get excited. It’s always new, it’s always incredible and I always finish by thinking I want that in my home!”

— PHILIP STOREY

PARK CITY, UT

SCOTT JAFFA + JOEL MARSH

For those dedicated to creating home, there is no greater reward than client satisfaction. Architect Scott Jaffa says it best: “When I see the expression of a client who feels like they’ve just stepped into their true home, I know my extraordinary team has put their talent into a space that will be enjoyed for generations.” That team includes Joel Marsh, painting contractor extraordinaire and longtime project partner to Jaffa. “We have been collaborating for seven years, ever since one of our mutual clients introduced us,” Jaffa says. “Our job is to transform dreams into reality, and Joel values bringing that joy to our clients too.” For the contractor, this goal depends on many factors, but thoughtful specification is certainly at the heart. Speaking to that, Marsh says, “In some cases, technical aspects dictate which product we choose. For example, many Benjamin Moore paints have open times that allow us to roll large walls, while still being scrubbable and accepting touch-ups. Other times, the homeowner’s lifestyle is top of mind. Regal Select is perfect for families with pets and children because it is durable, wipes easily and doesn’t mar.” jaffagroup.com; marshpaintinginc.com

“ When we complete a project, it should ne ver look like we were there; our goal is seamless perfection in producing one-of-a-kind homes.” — SCOTT JAFFA

The partnership of Tami Ramsay, Krista Nye Nicholas and Cassandra Pace underscores the impact of chance meetings and mutual admiration. “I heard about Cloth & Kind from one of my clients,” Pace says. “I went to the showroom to introduce myself, and they were hosting a paint demonstration for designers that day.” Being that Pace was visiting to share her services as a painting contractor for the two design pros, this was undeniably serendipitous. The trio has worked together on various projects in the years since. Ramsay and Nicholas share one of their favorite collaborative endeavors, saying, “We recently completed a large Queen Anne Victorian with Cassandra. Collectively, we decided to paint over an

oppressive, deep-red textural wallcovering in the family room rather than remove it. Benjamin Moore’s Stratton Blue HC-142 melted away the Victorian vibes while leaving our clients with an interesting story to share.” Anecdotes like this aren’t uncommon with these three, who share a love of bold paint projects. Ramsay and Nicholas chime in, “Every time our clients trust us to use color, we’re able to dramatically impact the mood of the space, not to mention create a more custom aesthetic. Whites and soft neutrals have their place, but we consider it a missed opportunity to design an entire home that lacks confident use of color.”

TAMI RAMSAY AND KRISTA NYE NICHOLAS + CASSANDRA PACE

Advice FROM THE Experts

“Always consider the lighting when choosing colors. For high ceilings, use a lighter shade to make the room feel more expansive.”

-ADAM HUNTER

“Adding sheen to a trim indoors does give it more durability in the long run, and personally, I like a trim that stands out from the walls.”

-MARIANO TORO

“Benjamin Moore is consistently my go-to brand because 95 percent of the time, if I’m dreaming up a color in my head, they have a shade to exactly match my vision.”

-NOZ NOZAWA

“For years, I only used eggshell in damp areas. But then, Aura Bath & Spa came along, and it changed my entire world! The ability to get a washable matte in the bathroom is fantastic.”

“ When views are extra important, consider painting window frames in the same shade as the walls. They’ll fade away and let the view take center stage.”

-JOEL MARSH

-ERIN SHAKOOR

“Prep is the most important step. If you skip on proper prep, it will show in the finish.”

-CASSANDRA PACE

Fall into Color

It wasn’t my intention for our September/October issue to be about color. In fact, when choosing the homes we included, I didn’t have any particular theme in mind. But the design world has a slow way of revealing how people are currently living, and, as an editor, it’s my job to share that story with you.

The homes you’ll discover throughout these pages—many enveloped in rich burgundies, dark chocolate browns and mossy greens—are restorative and soothing. I believe that these projects’ palettes are rede ning comfort for homeowners across the country and making them feel more at ease in their spaces while connecting them to the things they love—whether it’s wine, food or nature.

The language of design is visual, and, in that spirit, we are also telling a seasonal story without words. In one of our Market features, our editors sourced beautifully crafted materials from the design world and collaborated to create a series of inspirational assemblages using both natural and man-made wonders. Each one encapsulates an autumn narrative in a way that will inspire.

Fall has become the most comfortable season, so allow us to be part of your relaxing moments and enjoy the wealth of inspiration in the pages ahead.

BEHIND THE BLOOM

FIVE SISTERS FLOWER COMPANY

TALKING SHOP

SATURDAY GENERATION

The name “Tes Hash Davison” may ring a bell if you frequented the Tucson shop Savior. And if the name “Saturday Generation” sparks a memory, it might be because you, like Tes, once read Bloomingdale’s Book of Home Decorating, which coined the phrase in reference to Saturday shoppers who were young, hardworking and aspirational

Five Sisters Flower Company may be a relatively new presence at Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Fashion Square and Arrowhead Towne Center, but the family-owned and -operated company has some impressively deep roots. The five sisters of the company trace their affinity for blooms back to their Swiss immigrant grandparents and garden-loving mother. After working in the wholesale flower business for more than 40 years, the sisters launched their flower truck—a retrostyle, sage-green Honda Acty—in 2021 in their native Portland, and the concept blossomed from there. Five Sisters expanded to Arizona in 2023 and maintains a seasonal presence from September through May, offering roses, daisies, and garden-style blooms like peonies, tulips and zinnias in colorful bouquets. fivesistersflowercompany.com

in their home design. If none of this sounds familiar, don’t worry: There’s still time to acquaint yourself with Saturday Generation, the furniture and design store Tes started with her husband, Daniel, in January. Focusing on vintage design and Tucson creatives, the store represents Tes’ own value-driven approach to life and work. Buying vintage is sustainable, yes, but operating a showroom in downtown Tucson gives the Davisons a chance to contribute to the local design scene. Visitors will encounter a rotating curation of pieces that represent early- to mid-20th-century modern, Art Deco, Deco Revival and contemporary design, as well as European and American folk art. They’ll also find a lighting collection designed by Daniel. What they won’t see is clutter. Only a fraction of the couple’s inventory is ever on the showroom floor. “We want you to feel like you have stepped into a living room, dining room or just a little corner of your dreams,” Tes says.

“We want you to leave inspired.” saturdaygeneration.com

TABLE FOR TWO AMBROGIO15

As a preeminent fashion capital, Milan has given the world style, architecture and cuisine, all of which happen to feature prominently at Ambrogio15, located at Biltmore Fashion Park. The restaurant owes its name to both the patron saint of Milan (St. Ambrose) and the diameter of the pizzas made at the restaurant’s original San Diego locations (15 inches). But it’s the aesthetic experience at the Phoenix branch that feels heavenly. Natural light cascades through the space courtesy of two-story windows and sheer drapes. This celestial ambience is countered by terrestrial elements such as hanging plants in the foyer and a wine tower, the latter housing 700 bottles and serving as a focal point for the restaurant. Walnut wood appears as honeyed planks on the floor, espresso panels on the walls and whitewashed tables and chairs. The bar wears a silver-veined white marble countertop, and the futuristic light fixtures (including runway-like lighting at the bar) nod to Milan’s legacy of high fashion. ambrogio15az.com

MELTDOWN GLASS ART & DESIGN

If pedigree ensures quality, Meltdown Glass Art & Design is at the top of its game. Once owned by artist BJ Katz, the Tempe-based art and architectural glass company is helmed by a 25-year veteran of the company, Peter Hayes. Hayes has shepherded the business into a multitude of specializations, including custom textures, color effects and now digital imagery. Here, he reflects on the evolution and future of architectural glass. meltdownglass.com

What kinds of projects do you work on? Most of our projects are site-specific applications using decorative architectural glass. Our view is that glass can be anything, so we love working with clients who have a vision for it.

Tell us about the most unusual installation your company has ever done. There have been many! We have produced glass gazebos

in the Caribbean, staircases out of glass and glass ceilings.

Can you share some use cases for architectural glass that readers may not know about? Many clients using glass in homes think of kitchen and bath applications. Beyond that, we have been commissioned to produce furniture pieces like structural tabletops and seating, hanging glass sculptures, specialty lighting (such as sconces and chandeliers), and oversize tile and backsplashes.

What residential glass trends are you seeing today? Landscape and outdoor glass are an emerging trend as the design industry and clients become more comfortable putting glass outside. If you ask us, it’s a myth that glass is inherently fragile. It works well and is extremely durable as outdoor countertops, pool swim-up bars, and landscape fencing and balustrades.

FIRST LOOK

“CHARLES GAINES: NUMBERS AND TREES (ARIZONA SERIES)”

Trees have long inspired creative musings, and Charles Gaines’ conceptual artwork is no exception. Viewers can see it for themselves on October 30 when “Charles Gaines: Numbers and Trees (Arizona Series)” opens at Phoenix Art Museum in conjunction with “Charles Gaines: 1992–2023.”

“Numbers and Trees” will include eight large-scale triptychs featuring photographs of Arizona cottonwoods that Gaines took and transcribed onto clear Plexiglass with paint and a grid-like system of layering. Gaines’ work invites viewers to explore how their histories and experiences influence the way they “make and construct meaning,” notes Olga Viso, the Selig Family Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs. “The presentation of two complementary exhibitions is a fitting tribute to a highly influential and important American artist as he turns 80 this year.” phxart.org

INSPIRING MIND

ALFONSO VERDUZCO

When Alfonso Verduzco launched Raíces Black at ICFF’s Wanted trade show in 2022, he remembers feeling shocked to receive the award for best materials. But one look at the line of wall tiles reveals why he snagged the accolade. Crafted from black clay by artisans in Oaxaca, the tiles wear the textural imprints of indigenously profound elements: corn cobs, agave thorns and lava rock. And the Scottsdale-based Verduzco is just getting started. alfonsoverduzco.com

How did you develop the production technique for Raíces Black? Artisans have worked the barro (clay) for over 2,000 years. The production technique developed by me but applied by Oaxacan artisans results in tiles stamped through contact with symbolic objects of Mexican culture and history. It is the craftsmanship passed down and developed from generation to generation that makes these pieces so meaningful.

Raíces transcends functionality to become art in its own right. Describe the effect. When installed, the collection weaves together a symphony of textures, creating a visually striking and harmonious aesthetic.

You have experience working with luxury Italian furnishings. Did that inform your foray into furniture? After two years of pouring my heart into Raíces, I knew it was time to shake things up. I wanted to craft pieces with personality and elegance—a furniture line that would blend my love for minimalism with a bold, sculptural edge. This became the Karbón Collection. What’s next for you? I am excited to announce my plans to expand into the European market. My vision is to continue representing my heritage through my unique design perspective, make a positive impact on the artisan community in Mexico and promote the rich traditions and craftsmanship found across various regions.

Here at Woodbridge Interiors, our Design Team is guided by the belief that everyone deserves a beautiful home!

We offer a collaborative approach to design by working with you to create custom spaces that suit your lifestyle and budget. As always, our design service is complimentary to all Woodbridge Interior’s customers.

However, Nash soon realized that she didn’t just want to present pieces of furniture; she wanted to tell a story that would emotionally resonate with her audience, thus beginning her art and design journey. Fast forward to today, and Nash has recently released a visually transporting lamp collection with Troy Lighting which, ironically, began with an admiring note on Instagram. Aptly named Folk and Flora, the rhythmic designs reference folk perspectives of the rural south, including those of Nash’s own family, while also nodding to the beauty and simplicity of Ocala, Florida, which she has long called home. “I discovered a lot about myself during the design process,” Nash explains. “But at the end of the day, connecting people to things they love is what impacted me the most.” hvlgroup.com, @loftandthought

Jamie Bush

Since founding his Los Angeles-based rm in 2002, Jamie Bush has been recognized for his ability to blur the lines between interior and architectural design, as well as an eye for what he calls “historically driven modern design”—focusing on materiality, texture and natural forms. It’s this passion that has driven a portfolio lled with signi cant residential homes and a recent collaboration with Marc Phillips Rugs. “The designs are based on abstract paintings I made depicting studies of agricultural elds left fallow and eroded by nature,” Bush explains (see his Pepper rug, at left). The pieces have a hint of traditionalism and ample versatility: They live as easily in a classic Tudor as a contemporary home. jamiebush.com, marcphillipsrugs.com

Alyssa Kapito

Alyssa Kapito has made a name for herself crafting distinctive interiors rooted in minimalist classicism. On the heels of publishing her rst monograph, the New York-based designer is fast at work developing a second collection for AKI Editions, the small batch editions arm of her e-shop, Galerie by Alyssa Kapito. Envisioned as a gathering ground for ne antiques and bespoke collaborations with makers—like the above collection with Venetian glassware company Laguna~B— the designer plans to open a physical space in Manhattan this fall. “Galerie is a place that combines all of my passions,” Kapito shares. “I love art, I love design, I love fashion, and I love creating. I want it to be somewhere I can welcome you into my world!” alyssakapito.com

It’s secret that Barry Dixon has a proven penchant for crafting heirloomproducts. With a love of antiquities and an eye for modernity, Dixon uses his pieces as touches in beautifully balanced rooms. While he has many collaborations to his name, his latest collection of metal lighting and furniture with Iatesta Studio is particularly special. A passion project initiated by the Maryland-based studio’s owner and creative director, Matt Quinn, the compilation is a resurrection of Dixon’s iconic and archived designs, like the Synapse Pendant (above) which rst debuted more than a decade ago. “We already had a history of collaboration,” says Dixon, “so we were primed and ready to go.” barrydixon.com, iatestastudio.com

If the laid-back, California cool aesthetic had a poster child, Amber Lewis might be its face. As the principal and founder of Los Angeles-based Amber Interiors and Shoppe Amber Interiors lifestyle boutiques, her signature style, which she describes as “elevated, but lived-in,” counts cultlike devotees.

“I think the term stylist is a nebulous and often confusing one. What I’d rather tell people is that I am a storyteller of sorts, always seeking to conjure emotion in rooms using objects, flowers, colors, and patterns as my tools,” explains creative extraordinaire Mieke ten Have in her upcoming book, Interiors Styled by Mieke ten Have Her debut tome covers the principles that guide her dreamy and evocative styling work as well as seasonal influences on decorating and design. In an excerpt (at right), ten Have dives into her take on autumnal inspiration at home. vendomepress.com

Fall offers perhaps the most interesting dialogue between the interior and exterior world; before the first hard frost, the dahlia beds erupt in color and soar in height I can scarcely keep up. In the fall, I turn to jewel-toned textiles, earnest American jacquard blankets, and graphic rugs of varied origin, which I drape over my dining table, channeling a Dutch master painting of a wealthy sea merchant’s interior. I shuffle pillows around on sofas and chairs. I see my textiles anew, and I’m always surprised by how adding a secondary pattern on a large, upholstered piece of furniture can sway the mood of a room.

MARA INTERIOR DESIGN marainteriordesign.com

In her role as Principal of Mara Interior Design, Mara Green strives to find a balance between warm materials and an overall light and airy feel in every space. For the owners of her Kitchen Design Contest Finalist project, Green and team aimed to achieve the requested “entertainer’s dream.” “By incorporating panelready appliances from Sub-Zero and Wolf, we maintained a clean, balanced and inviting design that can be appreciated by the homeowners and their guests,” Green shares. “Another goal of ours was harmony. The union of contrasting elements creates an asymmetrical balance of tranquil tones and subtle details. This can be seen in the mixing of linear features like the vertical wood slats and metal reveals. The owners were also very excited about the cooktop with a griddle and steam oven—ultimate functionality.”

OWNBY DESIGN

ownbydesign.com

For the design team at Ownby Design—led by Principal Claire Ownby—one intention permeates every decision and project: to create a true reflection of the client and their vision. In their Kitchen Design Contest Finalist project, this ethos is evident in every detail. “These homeowners wanted to remove a formal dining space and increase the island to better accommodate their relaxed, casual family life,” Ow nby says. “The palette was driven by the concrete block material used in the home’s massing. It is featured throughout the interior.” Designer Dee Moraga weighs in on the chosen appliances, saying, “Because these clients wanted a kitchen that was minimal but functional, we built an appliance package that was a sleek aesthetic addition but has all the features they need. The black glass look of the appliances is a great complement to the walnut paneling-wrapped appliance wall.”

Neutral Nuance

THERE’S NOTHING MINIMAL ABOUT TODAY’S TONAL, TEXTURED TAKE ON KITCHEN AND BATHROOM DESIGN.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT AND SARAH SHELTON

Soft maximalism. Easy elegance. Quiet luxury. Whatever verbiage you prefer, there’s no denying that neutrals are having a renaissance. With the days of bland white kitchens and baths largely in the rearview, serene yet richly layered and thoughtfully detailed schemes are emerging in their stead. Take this jewel box kitchen in New York’s Hudson Valley: Awash in artisanal touches and historical references, it’s a feast for the senses—and the perfect embodiment of neutral’s impactful new mood.

Warm white tones—including clé zellige tiles, marble from BAS Stone and cabinets painted Farrow & Ball’s Shadow White—converge in this upstate New York kitchen. Designer Isabel Brewster crafted a shallow ledge to display treasured objects, which are illuminated by Chapman & Myers picture lights.

The Breakers, the Vanderbilt family’s iconic Newport, Rhode Island, “cottage,” might seem like surprising inspiration for a Hudson Valley farmhouse. But as chance would have it, designer Isabel Brewster was fresh off the Newport Cliff Walk home tour circuit when she signed on to renovate a young family’s stately Greek Revival in Rhinebeck, New York—and the threads between the two historic dwellings proved serendipitous.

For the kitchen—a sun-drenched space with a modest footprint that was stripped down to the studs and reimagined alongside general contractor Piotr Ottenbreit of PO Design Creation—Brewster envisioned a warm white scheme rooted in classicism, layered with patina and accented with modern elements. Inspired by The Breakers’ kitchen’s ceiling-height subway tiles, Brewster clad the upper walls and integrated range hood in perfectly imperfect Moroccan zellige tiles that shimmer in the light. Below, a sleek floating ledge and continuous white marble backsplash and countertops lend a decidedly contemporary perspective.

The room’s robust cabinetry program offers another discrete historical homage with its inset-style paneling, which Brewster describes as “transitional” and “Shaker but not ” thanks to the enhanced beveled detailing. Anchoring the space, the designer once again took her cues from the Breakers’ kitchen, channeling its large, freestanding center table for her design of an oak island stained chocolate brown.

Sanding the original wide plank pine floors to their natural state finished with a subtle whitewash creates a bright base layer for the room and unlacquered brass taps and hardware garnish the scene with a timeless living finish. A cherry red pendant suspended above the island is the lone saturated dissenter in the creamy milieu.

Upstairs, the primary bathroom is similarly reverential of history, taking cues for its walls from hand-carved paneling the designer spied in a circa-1700s home in Maine. “I thought this was such an interesting idea and a way to have ‘artwork’ without actually hanging artwork,”

An Urban Electric Co. pendant specified in Benjamin Moore’s Raisin Torte hangs above a custom oak island designed to evoke that of The Breakers mansion in Newport, Rhode Island (left). Brass Rejuvenation hardware dots the drawers (below).

Brewster explains. Here too, the designer chose a warm white paint for the millwork, complemented by bright white ceilings, a monochrome clawfoot tub and crisp, limestone-tiled floors. “I love the mixing of whites in this space—a flat white ceiling, warmer white walls and white floors. There’s a gradation of shades moving up the walls based off the white tones found in the marble.”

Said marble—which wraps the walk-in shower and tops the vanity the designer had fabricated from a vintage midcentury dresser—is a bold cut of Calacatta Viola Breccia. “It makes such a statement with the burgundy undertones,” gushes Brewster, who opted to pair the striking stone with exposed piping, yet again in an aged brass finish, “because that’s ho w bathroom plumbing actually looked and worked in period homes.”

While quiet, the finished spaces thrill with their many tone-on-tone material choices and hand-crafted details. When it comes to creating wow factor within a neutral palette, pulling layers of patina from the past, it seems, is an inspired place to start. isabelbrewsterinteriors.com

VARIED TEXTURES MAKE A STRIKING STATEMENT IN A MARYLAND BATHROOM DESIGNED FOR DECOMPRESSION.

Greige tiles, Formica vanities, a quintessential 1980s sunken jacuzzi: The bathroom, located in Clarksville, Maryland, was begging for a rewrite and designer Elizabeth Reich was happy to oblige. Spurred by her client’s love of Italy, Reich composed a surprising symphony of materials that bridges classic and contemporary for a transportive retreat. Below, the designer breaks down the details.

Wow Factor: My client wanted an unusual marble that reminded her of traveling abroad. We fell in love with this Calacatta Vagli Viola with its wine-colored veining and milky background. She wanted it everywhere at first, but we evolved to making it a focal point on the vanity, sinks, shower and casings.

Grounding Influence: The wood tiles are by Tabarka Studio, which warm up the room and add another element of texture and pattern. I fell in love with this monotone parquet; it’s simple yet interesting.

Hand Crafted: The walls are Venetian plaster by artisan Kelly Walker to give an aged feel, like something you would see in Europe. The pale umber color brings out the subtle golden tones in the marble.

Custom Content: The bespoke vanity was designed and built from white oak by a local cabinetmaker. The solid brass hardware is in a burnished finish by HRL Brass, and we loved the rectangular backplates which give them an extra cool factor. The standalone cabinet is also made of white oak, but the panels are reeded. Same material, different vibe! crosbyjenkins.com

MY PHILOSOPHY CENTERS ON CREATING VIBRANT, UNIQUE SPACES THAT BRING HAPPINESS AND STYLE TO THE LIVES OF MY CLIENTS.”

Adam Paul Schiff Designs

Sometimes a career begins in the most unlikeliest of places. For Adam Paul Schiff, Founder of his namesake design firm, it all started at MTV. He explains: “I began my career as a stylist for the MTV Beach House, which opened the door to design for me. My work naturally progressed into exterior design which then ultimately led me also to interior design.” Schiff is a tech enthusiast who has recently begun incorporating custom LED walls into his home designs, which “can be utilized indoors and outdoors and add a unique and modern touch to any space while also offering limitless possibilities for customization.” Asked what keeps him motivated, he quickly cites his passion for his work and transforming spaces. Schiff notes, “Each project is an opportunity to tell a unique story, and I am dedicated to creating designs that resonate with authenticity, innovation and purpose.”

Bright Ideas

When asked what defines and describes his company’s brand and aesthetic, Schiff is quick to highlight his firm’s exceptional use of color. He says: “I am known for using dynamic color palettes that inject personality and energy into spaces. Whether it’s through unexpected color combinations or using colors to evoke specific moods, this approach distinguishes my designs as unique and impactful.”

Emphasis On Individuality

“It’s important that individual client preferences are prioritized. Every design is tailored to reflect the individual tastes, preferences and lifestyles of my clients,” Schiff says. “Whether it’s through bespoke furniture pieces, commissioned artworks, or unique architectural details, I ensure that every aspect of the design reflects my client’s identity and enhances their living or working environment.”

Core Philosophy

Schiff emphasizes that his designs are a reflection of each client’s lifestyle and desires. He adds, “I believe everyone should be able to have well-designed, happy spaces regardless of their budget.”

Cutting-Edge + Classic

• Describe what it means to be a groundbreaker. I think it means being fearless and bold, as well as having the ability to see things with fresh eyes and clear forward vision.

Over the years, we’ve curated a collection of furniture brands that trade professionals can be confident specifying for their projects. Additionally, our staff provides a smooth shopping experience with expert advice and personalized attention to every client.

• Share a trend that is driving the way you do business. Valuesbased purchasing. Consumers today want their purchases to align with their personal beliefs, ethics and values. Very often we see them choosing to shop from small businesses to support their local economy as well as buying higher-quality products that last longer, reduce waste and become treasured heirlooms.

• What legacy do you wish to leave behind? As a millennial woman business owner, I want to inspire other young women to pursue leadership roles in our industry. Through my journey, I strive to challenge traditional norms and stereotypes, demonstrating that our unique backgrounds are a source of strength and creativity.

Desert Foothills Landscape

Done right, properly-landscaped outdoor areas dramatically expand both the useable living spaces of one’s home and the enjoyment of exterior views from inside. Creating stunning spaces is a priority for Desert Foothills Landscape. Jake Plocher, DFL’s Vice President and Lead Designer, notes: “Many of our clients maintain an in-home office. It’s important for them to feel connected to nature to avoid claustrophobia. With this in mind, we design from the inside out to highlight view corridors with diverse and interesting plant material that can be enjoyed from strategic office windows year-round.” The firm’s skills include many capabilities. As Plocher says, “We offer the fullest range of single-source landscape services in our industry. From visionary architectural design services to hardscape and pool installation, we are a one-stop shop. We also maintain our own private nurseries.”

Far right A custom 13,000-gallon water tank houses a client’s beloved giant Japanese koi. Underwater lighting offers a view day or night.

Industry Role Model

Plocher notes that DFL was created in 1990 and credits the now-retired Founder as an inspiration. “Mark Wdowiak was a pioneer in the artistic use of layering, vignettes and rare specimens,” Plocher says. “He also believed in giving back to the community by providing services for free or at a greatlyreduced cost to charitable causes. He was inspiring on a professional and a personal level.”

Unexpected Innovation

Sharing that groundbreakers are known for new ideas and innovative results, Plocher cites a recent project. “One of our clients wanted to expand an existing koi pond into the focal point of their backyard,” he explains. “So we built a multi-tiered 13,000-gallon pond with 800 tons of boulders, desert specimens, a waterfall and a fire pit. And a tempered-glass front allows our client to watch their beloved koi.”

The Desert Foothills team is expanding their pool division. Plocher adds, “We are exploring green, cutting-edge alternative concrete materials for pools and spas.”

Emmy Couture

480.492.0577 | emmycouturedesigns.com

In the field of interior design, what does it mean to be a groundbreaker? Well, to quote Emily Marek, “It means pioneering new trends, techniques or concepts that redefine the industry’s standards. It involves pushing boundaries, challenging traditional norms and introducing innovative ideas that inspire and influence others in the field.” Her perception on the title is accurate and certainly applies to her own work, if her clients’ feedback and several award wins—including recognitions from ASID and Luxe RED Awards—are any indication. Her firm, Emmy Couture, specializes in custom homes and whole-home renovations that blend fashion-forward style with unique creativity and livable luxuries. “We focus not only on the design, but on the architecture and build as well—overseeing construction details,” Marek shares. “As for my signature element, I love a good statement piece light fixture. I just adore how the right lighting can set the mood for the home and transform a space!”

Behind The Scenes

Asked to discuss social media’s impact on her work and business, Marek says, “Instagram has been huge for Emmy Couture. Having a youthful presence and sharing every day has really helped spread my design vision and given potential clients a sense of my process and style. One thing I do on Instagram, that is different from a lot of my peers is that I don’t just feature my projects after they’re all complete. I film the entire process from start to finish—the good, the bad, the dirty and the pretty. I begin filming from initial demo to the final completed walk-through, with all the behindthe-scenes in between. It has proven powerful for my brand.”

I STRIVE TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL, TIMELESS SPACES, BUT I ALSO WANT EACH CLIENT TO WALK AWAY FEELING I MADE THE PROCESS ENJOYABLE.”

First Impression Ironworks

Since 1995, First Impression Ironworks has been Arizona’s premier designer, manufacturer and installer of custom iron doors, railings and staircases, as well as iron and wood gates. Founded with a handful of employees nearly 30 years ago, today the firm boasts a staff of 185 dedicated professionals who work within 90,000 square feet of manufacturing and showroom space that spans nine buildings across the state. Every one of the more than 300,000 iron pieces they’ve installed was handcrafted by local artisans from a 100-percent Americanmade steel. Custom-built, engineered to last and installed to add value, First Impression’s works provide beauty, function and timeless elegance. With all of this, they’ve never lost sight of the core values. CEO Mark Baraghimian says, “First-class quality, first-class value and first-class care is our commitment to every design professional and homeowner we serve.”

Iron Craft

Mark Baraghimian shares his insights on the processes that make iron into art.

• Hand-forged steel is an art form that’s been around for centuries that involves heating iron so that we can contour it into a desired shape. This allows us to create highly intricate and elegant designs.

• Plasma cutting is a sophisticated process in which a jet of ionized gas, heated to temperatures above 20,000°C, is used to cut custom designs from a thick sheet of iron. It is typically employed for more elaborate designs that cannot be accomplished through hand-forging.

Old-World/ Smart Home

“Thanks to today’s smart tools, you don’t have to be a tech wizard to control your doors and gates from an app on your phone or via voice command,” Baraghimian says.

“Having this amazing ability at your fingertips not only allows you to monitor your property’s security but provides peace of mind knowing that you are keeping your family safe. You can also add automation to driveway, entryway and side gates as well as digital keyless door locks that use numeric codes or fingerprint technology.”

Top Designed with fixed sidelights and transoms, this elegant, contemporary iron entry door is finished in a stylish raven texture. Far left An automated rolling iron and wood gate with composite wood slats and a matching side pedestrian gate with a two-piece lock and lever are stunning in their raven texture finish.

The past few years have been groundbreaking for residential design. Everything about the home—from how the kitchen functions to how many generations reside in it—has experienced an evolution. And passionate experts like Laura Kehoe are leading the charge. “The definition of home has become important,” she says. “We are remodeling homes that we designed years ago to make them more adaptable for remote work or expanding families. As a designer, I appreciate the higher priority our personal spaces are taking. It invites great design to make even more of an impact on the functions of life.” Since beginning her work more than 20 years ago, Kehoe has proven her ability to achieve that impact. Now the owner of a fullservice firm that works on everything from new construction to remodels to furnishings projects (down to the last dish), she has a repeat client base that brings her back time and again.

Major Milestones

Asked to share some of the moments she most cherishes from her career thus far, Kehoe enthuses, “We will be celebrating 15 years as a firm in the new year. Each wonderful project that we are a part of leads to the next, and we have organically built a well-rounded portfolio with happy homeowners and a steady stream of referrals. I would also point to a fantastic oceanfront new-build in Del Mar as one of my milestone projects. It was published, and we have worked with those same clients on two more homes.”

AESTHETICS AND CREATIVE DESIGN ARE IMPORTANT, BUT WE ALSO UNDERSTAND

Looking Forward

“I hope to still be creating at 80,” Kehoe says. “I have four boys, and I imagine at least one of them will work in a creative field. If I am lucky, maybe they will work with me in some capacity. I feel fortunate to be able to do what I love every day and hope to inspire my children to find their passion.”

Lillian James Design Group

480.702.0534 | lillianjames.com | lillianjamesdesign

Corporate synergy lauds mergers that combine companies to equal more than the sum of their parts. In the case of new-ish firm Lillian James Design Group, the co-founders decided that one plus one added up to much more than two—and perhaps even 46. Two years ago, design experts and Principal Designers Mary Marsh and Sandy Black united their skills and talents to establish a luxury design firm. With their combined 46 years of experience, Marsh and Black are dedicated to a philosophy of crafting sophisticated spaces uniquely tailored to each client. Based in Arizona, their projects span the country. Marsh shares what’s next: “We have exciting projects in the works, ranging from midcentury modern homes and French chateaus to mountain lake homes and specialty spaces like music rooms, theaters and game rooms.” Black adds: “We love to integrate new trends with timeless designs.”

Groundbreaker Goals

When asked to define a groundbreaker, Marsh says: “It means embracing innovation and originality and being unafraid to take chances and be bold.” Black continues: “Exploring new ideas and sources is integral to our approach. Every project is unique and we pride ourselves on work that ensures each client’s distinctive qualities are thoughtfully incorporated into their spaces.”

Powerful Partners

Black and Marsh feel that their unique partnership sets them apart in the design world. “While many designers view their peers as competition and shy away from collaboration,” Black explains, “we embrace the power of partnership.” Marsh expands: “By joining forces we have created a stronger, more dynamic design studio that offers unparalleled service. With our extensive and diverse backgrounds, we bring a wealth of expertise to every project.”

Industry Inspiration

Marsh and Black find inspiration from their network of vendors. Black says, “Engaging with a vibrant network of industry professionals enriches our work and fosters collaboration.”

AT THE HEART OF OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS THE BELIEF THAT A HOME SHOULD EVOKE EMOTIONS AND CONTRIBUTE TO ONE’S WELLNESS.”

Lori Clarke Design

602.820.5581

When one thinks of a groundbreaking individual, someone who does things differently often comes to mind. Lori Clarke is just such a person. From fostering a modeling career (she’s still active with Ford Models locally) to building a design firm after raising her three daughters, the creative has always followed her curiosity first and foremost. Today, she continues to work outside the box, becoming known for her sensorial approach to design and desire to prioritize accessibility. “I’m very passionate about making people feel good through my work, so I always aim to please all five senses,” she shares. “I also believe that design doesn’t need to be expensive, and everyone should have the experience of working with a designer.” Circling back to her perspective on design’s role in life, she says, “I want to leave a trail of emotionally intelligent concepts—which support emotional, physical, spiritual, creative and productive needs and feelings.”

Teamwork, Dreamwork

Asked to share what she feels makes her firm so special, Clarke points to those around her. “My team comes to mind here,” she says. “Their value and talent are groundbreaking to me. No designer can do this alone, and we’ve felt our way through learning journeys and this ever-changing industry together. I’m proud of and grateful for them.”

Renewed Focus: Biophilia

“I’ve been fascinated with biophilic design lately,” Clarke says. “It centers on how we sleep, our moods, productivity, cardiovascular health, respiratory needs, our immune systems—everything. There is a big wellness moment right now. A growing number of products and vendors are offering a wide range of modalities we can integrate into a home to address physical and mental health conditions. Someday, I would love to design an entire home or even a boutique hotel around this concept.”

Shift In Space

“We have gone from open concepts to clients seeking more private spaces for multifaceted needs,” Clarke says. “Space planning is one of my loves, and I’ve been exploring this intentional new perspective through design.”

For many designers, a passion for the world of design and training in the industry begin at an early age. That’s certainly true for Maria Zambrano, MBA, Allied ASID and Principal Interior Designer of MariaZinteriors. She explains, “Born and raised in a family with multicultural disciplines in art, architecture and design, these paths marked a trail for me to follow and I started my eye for design during my early years.” Zambrano founded her namesake firm in 2021 and prides herself on innovating in the field. To her, “being a groundbreaker means to believe in yourself and to transfer that philosophy to the industry. We don’t follow any trends. With each project there is a new canvas and every client inspires us to start from a clean slate.” Her favorite outcome? Zambrano enthuses: “I always feel a huge sense of accomplishment when a client says that their home is now a dream come true.”

Natural Beauty

Founder and Principal Designer Maria Zambrano sings the praises of using natural materials—even when opting for color. “Natural materials are the best choices in design because they will never let you down. They are consistent and beautiful and colors are always present.” Zambrano continues: “Natural materials like wood, stone, brick and plaster give a beautiful, sensory feeling to a room. When we bring these materials into our living environments it elevates the space.”

A HOME SHOULD ENABLE ONE TO LIVE IN COMFORT AND HAPPINESS, AND ULTIMATELY WE WANT CLIENTS TO EXIST AMONGST JOY AND DELIGHT.”

Legacy Goals

When asked what she wants her company’s lasting legacy to be, Zambrano has a strong focus on family. “We want our designs to bring wonderful memories to our clients along with their families and friends,” she says. “Our goal is for our clients to create lasting memories with the people they love, and we want our surroundings to help bring those people together.”

I CREATE SPACES THAT MEET AND EXCEED CLIENT NEEDS AND DESIRES AND LOVE TO EXPLORE HOW A SPACE CAN SERVE MULTIPLE PURPOSES.”

Visionary Landscapes & Design Studio

A top priority for today’s landscape firms is sustainability. Dustin Walker, Founder and Principal for Visionary Landscapes & Design Studio, adheres to sustainability-focused designs and applauds how they continue to gain momentum. “Water-wise irrigation controllers that adjust to weather conditions and provide alerts for changes in water usage are becoming essential,” Walker says. “The ongoing incorporation of native plant species—which demand less water and positively impact local wildlife and pollinators—is also more prevalent.” An added benefit to the trend is the increased use of native and local materials that resonates with an area’s natural habitat and supports local artisans and tradespeople. Another strategy is creative repurposing. Walker recently reused aged bricks from a pool deck for a driveway project, noting “the practice of recycling materials benefitted both projects.”

On Originality

Walker prides himself on his innovating within landscape design. “Oftentimes I am asked to provide a picture of what a certain element or combination of features will look like,” he says. “More often than not, I have to say: ‘I don’t have a picture, this is an original idea.’” Walker then builds his concept with digital renderings and hand sketches. The result is “seeing ideas develop between the client and me, and the creation of a space that reflects their needs and wishes and is also appropriate for the space.”

On Integrity

According to Walker, creating a landscape should be approached with the utmost integrity as “it reflects someone’s trust in your ability to enhance their environment.” He continues, “I never undervalue any project because the outcome always remains significant: improving someone’s daily life and space.”

On Inspiration

With his creations, Walker aims to emphasize a sense of place and family ties through designs that spark debate and conversation.

CULTURAL EXCHANGE

Historical Ibizan architecture meets the Sonoran Desert in this Scottsdale family home.

Architecture: Rolf Blakstad, Blakstad Ibiza Design Consultants Interior Design: David Michael Miller, David Michael Miller Associates

Home Builder: Eric Linthicum, Linthicum Custom Builders Landscape Architecture: Clayton Miller, Greey|Pickett

The mantra “form follows function” may have molded the concept of modernist design, but the idea is an ancient one. Our ancestors, too, fashioned simple structures responding to local climates and materials—like the iconic finca farmhouses of Ibiza. Built for the windswept Mediterranean island’s dry landscape using regional stone, clay and timber, these humble domiciles echo present-day sensibilities with their flat roofs, modular massing and whitewashed walls. This architectural expression proved perfect for one couple dreaming of building a contemporary-leaning abode in North Scottsdale. Their neighborhood’s strict guidelines, however, limited homes to traditional Mediterranean styles. The solution clicked into place when their builder, Eric Linthicum, found Ibizan residential designer Rolf Blakstad, famed for his historically rooted modernism distilling the finca’s traditional hallmarks. “It’s this modern take on a Mediterranean form that our desert environment would accept in a genuine way,” Linthicum notes. Blakstad embraced the challenge, working closely with interior designer David Michael Miller to translate ideas of Ibizan warm-weather living to the Sonoran Desert. “It was fun exploring the origins of this architectural style through a contemporary lens,” Miller says.

The home’s single-story design maintains a reserved profile, unfolding in a “series of cubes that reflect a building naturally growing to accommodate a family’s needs,” Blakstad describes. The structure nestles into the surrounding hillside, buttressed by 6-foot stacked walls built from stone excavated on-site. Instead of Ibiza’s limewashed façades, however, the plaster exterior became a “warmer beige color that felt more appropriate for our desert,” Linthicum adds. Working drawings completed by Mark Candelaria and the Candelaria Design team further tweaked the design where needed to fit the neighborhood’s requirements, like the obligatory tile roof carefully pitched low to retain the style’s modular lines.

Inside, the couple’s daily living concentrates around a central great room framed by Blakstad’s signature bevel-edged columns. From there, the layout expands to other entertaining areas, including a detached guest casita. Alfresco moments in between include a pergola by the infinity-edged pool lined with olive trees, a dining courtyard with

a reclaimed European limestone fountain, and the couple’s private en suite spa patio complete with plunge pool. Landscape architect Clayton Miller filled these intervals with cacti, native grasses and desert perennials nestled amid rock beds of local DC Ranch stone, which “reinforced that feeling of the surrounding mountainside,” he explains. Miller, in turn, favored finishes that would amplify the home’s natural milieu, reinterpreting Blakstad’s refined use of Ibizan materials “in a more desert context, which worked beautifully,” he observes. The authentic three-coat plaster walls, on the other hand, needed no translation, hand-troweled velvet smooth for a “subtle movement and depth that you can’t get from paint.” For Blakstad’s geometric ceiling beams inspired by Ibiza’s exposed timber supports, Miller chose thick Douglas fir bleached and stained taupe blond. “We didn’t want anything too serious and dark, because we needed this soft, mellow transition from room to room,” he explains. European white oak infuses similar sunbaked shades into the millwork and portions of the floor.

Other areas feature more contemporary white concrete flooring, hand-polished to reveal delicate cumulus patterns that complement the textural craftsmanship of the home’s Old World-style materials. Meanwhile, the team “deliberately made the kitchen a purely modern element amid this softer architectural environment,” Miller explains, pointing to the seamless oak cabinetry and steel vent hood suspended from the skylight above.

The designer fleshed out the interior by swathing everything in desert shades of cream, ochre and goldenrod. Furnishings have clean, simple lines but embrace unpolished tactility by highlighting rich wood tones along with linen, cotton and wool upholstery. “A house like this just thirsted for natural fibers,” Miller notes. Area rugs follow suit, with both vintage and modern pieces featuring subtle geometric patterns that recall traditional Moroccan weaves. An eclectic mix of curios from around the world—like Indonesian bamboo fishing baskets, 18th-century French terra-cotta olive oil jugs and antique Spanish limestone planters—adds layers of handmade history.

The successful translation from centuries-old Mediterranean style to contemporary Arizona design is proof positive that simple, landscapecentric architecture is eternal. “I think we’ve come full circle,” Blakstad muses. “We’re becoming aware that we can use this shared ancestral knowledge of home and adapt it for modern living.”

To a metro New York-based couple seeking a getaway home, Scottsdale offered an opportunity to trade cold winters for sunny weather. Undoubtedly wooed by its earthy landscape, the husband and wife gravitated to the Desert Highlands neighborhood, where the plans for a soon-to-be-built house caught their eye.

Designed by architect Jessica Hutchison-Rough and interior designer Anita Lang, the residence so impressed the couple that they bought it before the team, including builder Phil Nichols, even broke ground. “Everything looked just like what I wanted in an Arizona home,” the wife says. “Modern desert style, a connection between inside and out, big windows, and lots of light.”

The new owners’ purchase of the dwelling prompted small changes to its layout, such as converting some bedroom square footage to expand the home office. Its overall design, however, stayed much the same, including its interior finishes, which echo the outdoor setting. “We wanted to keep the house to the local vernacular so that it felt appropriate for the Sonoran Desert,” Lang explains.

Wood and natural stone appear throughout, particularly in the great room. A soaring slanted hemlock ceiling unifies the large space, whose other dynamic feature is an interior stone wall that extends through to the outdoors—a nod to traditional local architecture but with a twist. The team chose a mortar-washed rubble stone instead of the stacked ledgestone typically found in Arizona dwellings. “The idea of a natural stone wall running through a home, from inside to outside, has been here since Frank Lloyd Wright started working in Arizona, but we brought it into a more modern context,” Hutchison-Rough explains.

Textured furnishings continue the abode’s elevated organic style, most often in the form of nubby area rugs, raffia wallcoverings and the occasional basket-weave finish, a tribute to Native American baskets. Balancing this are pieces with a sophisticated urban flair. “It’s that back and forth of the sleek and refined with natural textures that creates interest and livability,” Lang muses. Black details, including dark stone in the kitchen, seating in shades

of midnight and a black raffia wallcovering in the primary bedroom, reference the owners’ hometown. “When you think of the New York area, you think of black,” the designer says.

In the living room, pieces both reflect and diverge from the space’s strong linearity. The curvaceous, boomerang-like coffee table and round ottomans are juxtaposed with the straight lines of the low-profile L-shaped sectional—chosen so that it wouldn’t block the views. A similar shapely mix defines the adjoining dining area, where a set of sculpturesque upholstered chairs surround a square wood table designed by Lang. This concept of contrast continues in the primary bedroom, where a custom bed atop a wood platform is dressed in wool and linen bedding. The raffia accent wallcovering behind it plays nicely with the texture of the surrounding stone walls. “It exudes a sense of warmth,” the designer says.

Lang used a soft touch when furnishing the guest bedrooms, opting for dark neutrals to foster a sense of restfulness. In one, she chose a calming brown-gray hue for both the walls and window treatments, with cream-colored elements, such as the streamlined upholstered bed and woven rug, punctuating the dusky space. In the other, shades of taupe and gray make for a cozy place to sleep.

The interior’s sophisticated sensibility extends to the alfresco spaces as well. “The team made it a priority for the inside to flow outside,” the wife muses. “It really feels like it’s one big, cohesive space.” To accommodate poolside lounging and casual viewing of the McDowell Mountains, Lang created two distinct seating areas dressed in coordinating blue outdoor fabric, a hue inspired by the pool’s tile. While one area features a set of four woven club chairs, the other is more loungelike, with a pebble-shaped concrete table and pair of frameless upholstered chaises that encourage reclining with a cocktail in hand.

Equally striking is the surrounding landscape designed by Jake Plocher. Drawing from the home’s linear architecture, Plocher planted a variety of native flora with strong verticality, such as Mexican fence post and organ pipe cacti as well as ocotillo. “We used a simple, repetitive design to complement the structure,” he says. It’s the final touch to providing the couple with the best of both worlds—a bustling metropolitan lifestyle balanced by the Arizona desert’s calming beauty.

Architect Jessica Hutchison-Rough positioned the foyer so that when visitors enter, they have a prime view of Pinnacle Peak through the great room window. Low-profile furnishings, including a Nathan Anthony sectional and custom ottomans, keep the vistas clear. Limestone flooring from Solstice Stone establishes an organic vibe.

Above: Designer Anita Lang added urban flair to the kitchen with Studio Piet Boon stools and dark granite from The Stone Collection on the backsplash, countertops and hood. The white oak cabinetry, fabricated by Rysso Peters, deftly conceals Sub-Zero, Cove and Wolf appliances.

Gallery-white walls and sleek contemporary design defer to the stunning Sedona views.

WRITTEN BY LIZ ARNOLD | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURA MOSS

Sedona is famed for many things—its spiritual significance, wellness offerings and hiking trails among them. But perhaps more than anything, the city is known for its breathtaking red rocks. So, when architect Nancy S. Weinman and general contractor Bill Brann began designing a hillside residence with stunning vistas of this natural beauty, strategic deference was key. They focused on clean lines, a neutral palette and a layout centered around the surrounding environment.

“When you walk into a house, you should be able to see the greatest view immediately,” Weinman explains. “So, I always try to make the front door opposite the view.” To this end, the foyer opens to a 15-foot-high great room complete with sliding glass doors topped by clerestory windows. A canopy over the modern Italian kitchen brings the ceiling down to a more intimate scale. The sleekness of the cooking space is balanced by a warm bleached-wood trim along the top of the base cabinetry and a coordinating paneled ceiling that runs throughout the great room.

An emphasis on a continuous visual connection to the outdoors led the architect to opt for lots of glass throughout and no enclosed hallways. “If I have a hallway, I create it into a gallery space or make it really wide,” she adds. It was these types of design choices that drew her clients— who were coming from a heavier Tuscan-style residence—to the home.

Then came a twist. Though intrigued by the sleek, white palette, the clients desired primary colors. Could it all hang together? Interior designer Stephanie Larsen was confident it could. Her vision: layering in rainbow hues with the use of multicolored art, accents and accessories. “We wanted to keep things clean, but we needed to warm the home up and create more of a wow factor,” she explains. Larsen selected a muted, light shade of the ceramic Spanish tile Weinman had

planned for the floors—both inside and out—and the neutral color scheme became the backdrop for the views and artwork. “The wife asked me for the colors found in a crayon box,” the designer says.

While gathering sources and inspiration, Larsen encountered the colorful metal sculptures of W. Thomas Tuberty. “Tom will customize his pieces, so we went to his studio and picked the brightest yellow, green and blue,” she recalls. The resulting works—multicolored vertical metal strips near the kitchen and a cobalt-blue installation by the fireplace—inject just the right amount of energy. Other artworks and accents throughout nod to Tuberty’s sculptures, such as a selection of ceramics from Iggy Sumnik’s “Jellybean” series, an R. John Ichter piece in the entry and a red throw in the primary bedroom.

Larsen continued to work in warm neutrals, layering shades of gray, beige, taupe and white while selecting furnishings to round out the architectural edge. “It was a lot of straight lines,” she says. “I wanted to soften the living room with the light-gray curved sectional, hanging ring lights and swivel chairs.” This softness threads through to the primary bedroom’s upholstered headboard, the curved frames of the outdoor furniture, the assortment of spherical pendants in the entry and the selection of ceramics.

In the couple’s room, Larsen played to the rejuvenating power and serenity for which Sedona is celebrated. A selenite crystal watches over the homeowners as they rest in their private retreat, taking in the spiritual energy of the red rocks through floor-to-ceiling windows. “I love to add crystals to my designs,” Larsen explains. “It adds a high vibration to the room.”

Now, as the sun moves from east to west, the experience of each room continuously evolves, reflecting the changes in light and energy.

“Perched high in the sky, this home gives the owners the sense of being elevated in the landscape,” Weinman muses. “It’s a beautiful thing when you feel at one with nature.”

In the entry, a metal-and-glass door by general contractor Bill Brann opens to reveal a Hubbardton Forge pendant composed of glass orbs that contrasts with the rectilinear architecture. A colorful R. John Ichter piece hangs above a Roberta Schilling bench and faces a wood-framed mirror from Mostly by Nature.

A W. Thomas Tuberty wall sculpture off the kitchen is complemented by Iggy Sumnik ceramics in the living area. The artworks are an unexpected contrast to the muted Interlude Home sofa, Taracea coffee table and Organic Looms rug.
