EDITOR’S LETTER

ZOOM LAND!

Back in June, I was moderating a Zoom meeting when my husband popped into my office to announce that we had a buyer for our house. “We need to look at this new place, pronto!” Lickety-split, we were moving out of the home we have lived in for nearly a decade and into a fab new rental further east and across from the beach. With all this taking place in the midst of Covid, my head was swirling. Like so many, our home has become a safe haven; nearly every hour of every day spent under that roof. As I write this note, it’s day three in our new place and I’m back to Zooming away. Yes, I had that moment of, “Yikes, what have we done?” But, more than ever, I am grateful to have a new home to settle into. I hope that this September/October issue brings you inspiration for your own home and a respite from what’s happening in the world.

RADAR / BACK TO BASICS

N

ow more than ever, we’re contemplating what comforts bring joy to a home. To that end, designers are all about elements that create tranquility and contentment in private spaces, and found that it’s the simple things—cozy outdoor areas, the feel of soft linens and the play of light on a wall—that truly create happiness.

For Brooke and Steve Giannetti, a designer and architect, pleasure can be found in the fresh air.

“Connections to the garden are at the heart and soul of what we do,” says Steve. The husband-andwife team lives on a farm in Southern California where they’ve perfected the art of indoor-outdoor living. Their secret lies in making the great outdoors more intimate. “The feeling of being in an open meadow is sometimes not the most relaxing,” explains Steve. “We found that if you can break an alfresco space into loosely defined rooms—using features like a wall, a garden border or a tree—it makes a space feel more inviting and protected.” Their farm is full of examples, such as a seating arrangement placed under the canopy of a heritage oak, a fire pit ringed by a sectional or a table located by a vegetable garden. “Being outside is something we crave all year round,” Brooke says. “Living in nature calms us and brings us into the moment. It is perhaps the best luxury.”

In Atlanta, designer Erika Hollinshead Ward finds luxury where the day begins and ends.

“Having a bed that’s made with good linens is a treat,” she says. “You may not be able to control what happens in the world, but sleeping with beautiful linens is a joy.” Ward favors bamboo sheets for their sustainability and hand, noting the fabric becomes even softer with washing, and for curtains, she turns to cotton linen. “The weave of a crisp linen makes a great canvas for color and pattern,” she says. “To me, drapery is like art on the wall—and it can elevate and finish a space the same way a good blazer makes an outfit.”

Brad Ford, a New York City designer, calls natural light “very healing” and seeks to add as much of it as possible to any dwelling, be it a city apartment or a house in the country. “In a dense metropolis, privacy can be an issue, so we like to add solar shades or sheers on windows,” he says. “These allow you privacy but also an amount of light.” Ford is also known for strategically placing mirrors and furniture with reflective surfaces in a room to amplify the light. When designing a new home, he always advocates for as many windows as possible. “I would live in a glass house if I could,” he says. “I believe there is no better mood enhancer than natural light.”

For these design professionals, providing easy indulgences is rewarding. “Many of my clients come home exhausted after a long day,” Ward says. “If I can give them a space that’s tailored to them, and that provides comfort, I am also fulfilled.”

Fashioned in Italy with a cooling blend of cotton and linen, the flat sheet in aquamarine (center, left) and pillow sham in latte (center) from the Opelle Collection by Sferra are ideal for warmer climates. Handcrafted from the finest materials, bamboos and grasses, the Shade Store’s Waterfall Woven Wood Shades in Duneville Oasis and Tailored Pleat Drapery in Luxe Sheer Linen Off-White (both shown below) balance beauty and function while providing privacy and ample sunlight.

TONE FOR COLOR GURU EVE ASHCRAFT, SUCCESSFUL SCHEMES BOIL DOWN TO INSTINCT. WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

Eve Ashcraft knows a good palette. A formally trained painter, she earned her stripes as a color specialist for Martha Stewart and today touts an elite moniker—architectural color consultant— lending her expertise to residential homes, cultural institutions, public works projects and corporate branding the world over. Luxe called upon Ashcraft to learn more of her vibrant and innate approach. eveashcraft.com Formative influence. My mother was a painter.

We had a yellow living room with fuchsia silk pillows. I would come home from school and she’d say, ‘Grab a brush’—she’d be painting the kitchen cabinets, again. It never occurred to me until I started working with clients that anyone would be afraid of color.

Less is best. Fan decks are an instrument of torture. I’ve had clients test 30 colors before calling me. They were probably feeling insecure to begin with, and there’s this internet problem of, ‘I’ll just scroll to the next page and oops, it’s 4 a.m.’ Endless choice can have a negative effect, so I edit and distill my ideas before sharing.

Go-to paint trick. When I want a space to feel calm, one easy tip is to reduce contrast, especially between building components, like the trim, walls and ceiling. Make those elements the same or almost the same color and boundaries will disappear, creating a sense of spaciousness.

Golden rule. The more color you have, the more color you can use. It’s like a great party—just jam everyone in there.

“I love using the resources and collections I keep in my studio to build these inspiration boards, either for my own edification or to show clients possibilities,” says Eve Ashcraft of her fantasy color palette.

Artist’s intuition. The only thing I love about getting older is that I’ve developed respect for my instincts. There are moments when I walk into a room and just know. I had clients with this tasteful blue parlor, but there was something sad about it. I said, ‘You’re going to kill me, but this room should be tobacco with cream trim.’ Six months later, I received a love letter about how they never leave it now. That kind of transformation is luxury.

Open DIALOGUE

THREE ARTISANS REFLECT ON THE CREATIVE JOURNEY AND FINDING COMFORT IN THEIR WORK. WRITTEN BY HEATHER CARNEY

RAYMOND BARBEROUSSE Studio PGRB, Miami

Raymond Barberousse’s path from architect to lighting designer is a telling reminder that good things can result from trying times. Shortly after buying a house in 2009, he was laid off from a Chicago architecture firm, leaving him to D.I.Y. much of his home’s furnishings. His sculptural lighting designs caught the eye of an owner of a local decor store, and the rest is history.

Today, Barberousse and his wife split their time between Chicago and Miami drawing inspiration from both locales. “Chicago is energetic; Miami is more laid-back,” says the designer. As a member of the Black Artists + Designers Guild, he is an advocate for promoting inclusivity in the design community, but ultimately, he says, “It’s about the work. I want the work to represent itself.”

DENISE MCKENZIE-LEE

Enkee Ceramics, Chicago

“Don’t underestimate me,” says Denise McKenzie-Lee, known for her earthy ceramics layered with texture.

Her foray into the medium began with a gift certificate to a pottery class. “I love entertaining, so I wanted to make my own set of dishes,” she recalls. “The instructor said, ‘It’s going to be a long time before you can do that.’ It wasn’t. I’m prolific when I become interested in something.” Her pieces, crafted with porcelain and stoneware, are perfectly imperfect reflecting a gritty sentiment. “I call it rustic modern.

I’m attracted to textures: a rusty tray, rocks, rough edges, things that look burnt,” she says. Next up: experimenting with glass and non-functional work. No one is underestimating her now.

ANIKA POITIER

ASP & Company, Los Angeles Anika Poitier’s first love was film. Yet with a child on the way, she says, “I needed a creative outlet that was more kid-friendly.” So Poitier teamed up with her interior designer mother on a textile and accessories line. Their first collection centered on female artists and grew from there. A signature design is an infinity-style serpent.

“It symbolizes strength and the journey to empowerment,” says the designer, who employs her filmmaker eye when selecting materials, and is drawn to linen for its transparent and natural qualities. “I love the way light shines through. We all want to exist in a calm, nurturing space.” Today, that notion rings more true than ever.

THREE DESIGNERS CREATE SERENE SPACES PERFECT FOR DE-STRESSING, NOW AND ZEN.

▲ SUN ROOM IN HIGHLAND PARK

ELIZABETH KRUEGER, ELIZABETH KRUEGER DESIGN

▲ PENTHOUSE DEN IN LINCOLN PARK

MIA RAO AND ROBYN SWANSON, MIA RAO DESIGN “This penthouse was designed with an overall edgy urban vibe to reflect the owner’s previous New York City address. The lady of the house wanted a space all of her own—a cozy place to retreat that had a softer, more feminine feel than the rest of the home. This room is designed to calm the senses, with details like a custom shag rug that is heaven for your toes, striated wallcovering that gives the room a Zen-like feel and a bright yellow Ligne Roset Facett chair that adds a pop of cheerfulness. It draws you in and then captures you in a moment of solitude: the perfect prescription for the new, crazy world we live in.” miaraodesign.com

▲ LIBRARY AND FAMILY ROOM IN HINSDALE MICHAEL DEL PIERO, MICHAEL DEL PIERO GOOD DESIGN

“Finding serenity was important to the owners of this Mediterranean-style home, as they have two small children, a dog and a growing business. Seeking to carve out moments of quiet, we capitalized on the house’s architecture to magnify its peaceful energy. Giant windows flood the space with natural light and highlight the views of the lush landscape, promoting a feeling of tranquility. The library offers a space to unwind with a book, while the family room’s plush seating allows them to gather with loved ones. The two spaces flow into each other and provide nourishment for the heart, mind and body.” michaeldelpiero.com

sun room in highland park photo: mike schwartz. library in hinsdale photo: janet mesic mackie. penthouse den in lincoln park photo: mia rao.

“When we reflect on what brings balance and relaxation to a space, we think of natural light, soft color palettes, and organic materials and textures—all of which are captured in this luminous and serene sun room. This space, which we recently completed alongside Morgante Wilson Architects in a historic Northside home, is the perfect place to unwind, watch TV or read, and connect with nature. From the stormy gray tile to the classic Eames chair and soft, cascading drapery, everything in this room is meant to evoke feelings of harmony and calmness.” elizabethkruegerdesign.com

BACK to LIFE DESIGN PROS SHARE WHAT THEY MISS MOST RIGHT NOW.

While staying at home has its perks, being inside for months has us jonesing for our favorite spots around town. Here, Chicago designers share the feel-good space topping their list.

⊳ AMY KARTHEISER

Founder, Amy Kartheiser Design “I’m excited to treat myself to a day at The Peninsula Spa with friends.

The whole experience is dedicated to wellness, including the design, which forms a warm, relaxing and soothing environment. It marries luxury with simplicity in a way that makes you feel like you’ve entered a haven from city life. I love to start with a restorative yoga class before indulging in a full day of spa treatments and lunch on the outdoor patio. I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.” peninsula.com/chicago

MICHELLE JOLAS AND LAUREN LOZANO ZIOL ⊲

BLUEPRINT PARKLINE CHICAGO

Set to debut in spring 2021, Parkline Chicago is a rarity for the city as both a new build in the Loop and a hybrid condo-apartment concept. Currently under construction at 60 East Randolph across from Millennium Park, the new residential building will have 24 condos and 190 apartments. Residences—located on floors 20 through 25—will feature Wolf, Sub-Zero and Cove appliances, Snaidero cabinetry, quartz countertops, and walk-in showers and soaking tubs. “Every home features gracious layouts with a balance of formal and informal living spaces and design elements that flow together to create an expansive feel, maximized by 10-foot ceiling heights and floor-to-ceiling windows,” says Thomas Roszak, founder and principal of Thomas Roszak Architecture, who’s collaborating with developer Moceri + Roszak. A 19th-floor amenity space exclusive to condo owners will have a private conference room with catering kitchen, a library and a sky terrace, while the fourth and 18th floors will have fitness and wellness facilities open to all residents. parklinechicago.com

⊳ JEN TALBOT

Principal, Jen Talbot Design “I have missed connecting with my local vintage vendors. One of my favorite stores in the West Town neighborhood is South Loop Loft, which is filled with edited vintage finds from owner Beth Berke’s extensive travels to Italy and Paris. The in-store styling and carefully curated vignettes are so inspiring—and not an experience you can have unless you are in the physical store. I have missed all the small details, such as her accessory wall and vintage fine-art collection. Beth and I will often have Champagne and share some laughs.” thesouthlooploft.com

“We have always loved Le Colonial for its chic, 1920s French Colonial Asian interior and ginger martinis. From the moment you enter its new location on Oak Street, you’re transported to another world—and we can’t wait to go back. On the enclosed patio, decorative floor tiles, Asian lanterns, proper white tablecloths, orchids and cane-backed chairs are juxtaposed with the dark, sultry wood-paneled bar. The ambience is heightened by the attention to lighting detail, fabric shade fixtures, lanterns and fans, which make you feel at home.” lecolonial.com

POST MASTER @unpatterned

WHO: Chicago native Carly Pokornowski Moeller obtained her architectural license in Illinois prior to launching her own business doing interior renovations, new construction and decor projects via her interior design studio, Unpatterned.

WHAT: Known for her bold use of color and an appreciation of vintage, she creates one-of-a-kind projects by mixing finishes, patterns and colors.

WHY: Much like her practice, variety is the spice of life on Moeller’s Instagram feed. A multitude of colors balances neutrals and room views combined with a voice true to her offline personality.

IN HER WORDS: “With the additional time we’ve been spending at home, we’re all taking stock in a new way of working and living, and I’m excited that I get to play a role in the added value interior design brings to our homes each day.”

ON VIEW Through November, you can visit the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago to see .paint, an exhibition demonstrating how painting is being redefined through the use of digital technology. Each piece in this small show is made using Adobe Photoshop, inkjet printing and mobile devices. “Alongside the emerging field of post-Internet art, we have seen more artists turn to technology in the making of paintings,” shares chief curator Michael Darling. So is this style the future of all contemporary painting? Probably not—but it offers a fresh approach to the age-old art form. “Artists have always been on the cutting edge in terms of the uses of nascent technologies,” Darling adds, “and their innovations reveal new ways to understand and engage with those technologies not only in art, but across disciplines.” mcachicago.org

LAUNCH

VIRTUAL DESIGN SERVICE: HOMEWARD “Out of adversity comes opportunity,” Benjamin Franklin once said. With interior designers forced to rethink how they work in 2020, Chicago-based James Thomas Interiors decided the time was right to launch virtual design services.

Homeward focuses on one or two rooms, either a light refresh or a decorating project (not remodeling or new construction). It starts with an onboarding consultation followed by a one-concept space plan, mood board and product selections. Power is placed in the clients’ hands, as well: They’re responsible for some of the ordering, as well as implementing the final design in the room.

“I think going forward this is only going to become more important,” says James Dolenc, principal. “Our homes right now not only provide shelter, but are a source of inspiration, calm, togetherness and family.” jamesthomaschicago.com

THE WELL-DESIGNED KITCHEN + BATH

Excitement is permeating the kitchen and bath industry—just talk to an expert, and you’ll feel it too. Materials, both new and centuries old, are transcending the ordinary, even the “high-end” rubric; instead, they are interesting, they evoke warmth— they tell a story. The key words are no longer form and function but rather, beauty and technology.

Together, these two formerly opposite elements create intimate spaces that are vividly original.

“If you begin at no, you’ll never get to yes.” Words Nancy Epstein has lived and worked by since designing her first piece of furniture more than 20 years ago. “I brought the design to our hometown cabinetmaker and he didn’t like it. I didn’t listen and had him make it anyway, and he was so taken by the results that he asked me to join his company designing products.”

Such tenacity eventually led Epstein to found Artistic Tile, where she and her team aim to “make the world a better place … one tile at a time.” Today, her tile empire encompasses eight national showrooms, a cadre of reps working with hundreds of architects, designers and dealers, an engaging website, and 100,000 social media followers. “We are very ‘connected’ to our audience and their preferences, well beyond sales numbers,” she says.

“The gift of the genuine, the real, is the ultimate luxury, so the ultimate kitchen and bath should be outfitted with natural stone.”

MATERIAL MIX: WHAT’S TRENDING IN TILE + Brecciated marble slab.

This is an iconic material for Artistic Tile; one Epstein loves so much, she permanently installs it in every new showroom. The color and sense of monumental energy of Breccia Imperiale, Breccia Viola and Arabescato Corchia make them perfect choices for giving visual stature to baths and kitchens. + Glass mosaic.

“We love this material in geometric, floral and foliate mosaic designs, in colorful blends, in mirrored mixes and also in tonal white-on-white colorways,” she says. “Lately, we have been creating mosaics with an ombré effect in both kitchens and baths. + Quartzite slabs.

The color of these natural stones is breathtaking, and their high resistance to acid etching and low porosity make them especially attractive to those who seek a prep surface that combines real beauty and ease of maintenance.

For over 60 years, Liebherr Appliances has been dedicated to only one thing: the manufacturing of refrigerator and freezer appliances. This commitment has resulted in innovative product solutions that have forever changed the way people function in their kitchen. “In 1993, we became the first manufacturer to convert our entire appliance offering to HCFC/CFC-free refrigerants, in order to protect the environment and ozone layer,” says marketing manager Daniela Maldonado. Liebherr’s refrigerators and freezers stand out for their intuitive operation, energy efficiency and modern design, with features like BioFresh technology that maximize the shelf life of groceries.

FINDING FRIDGE PERFECTION When looking for a refrigerator, make sure to choose one that can provide every solution to your clients’ needs, such as: + O ptimal food preservation for their ingredients and prepared food + Plenty of storage space for entertaining + A beautiful design that seamlessly integrates within their kitchen

PUTTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON SURFACES Porcelain.

Kitchens are spaces for dinner, homework, lounging, entertaining and more. Homeowners are moving away from granite and toward porcelain for its resistance to stains, costeffectiveness and durability.

Wood.

Due to the popularity of open-concept floor plans, flooring choices are extending from space to space, like hardwood in the living area that continues into the kitchen. Oak and walnut are the most popular due to their durability.

Stone Slabs.

The word “signature” resonates with Hammerton Lighting on two fronts. On the product side, its decorative lighting line, Hammerton Signature, speaks to the company’s unlimited customization options. Each light in the collection—whether in design, materials, options or craftsmanship—is a “signature” piece. Stylistically speaking, Hammerton’s “signature” is its relationship with nature as reflected in its designs.

“Our aesthetic has always involved an exploration of the natural world,” says founder and vice president of design, Levi Wilson. “Filigree, Art Nouveau and Art Deco are great examples of this.” While the standard industry definition for custom lighting assumes a limited choice of options, in Hammerton’s hands “anything is possible”—a credo that has led the bespoke, entrepreneurial spirit of this American company for a quarter of a century.

EMPLOYEE-CENTRIC SUCCESS The “Made in America” ideology may be different for every American manufacturer, but at Hammerton it’s centered around the transformative power of each of its employees. “Every day at Hammerton, we design, engineer, fabricate, finish, pack, ship and service a unique assortment of products that are entirely different than the day before and the day after,” says president Bill Shott. “Fundamentally, we are tackling new problems and embracing new opportunities every hour of every day. We rely on the personal enterprise of each employee—their creativity, inventiveness, resilience, collaboration and problem-solving skills—to do this successfully. Bottom line, we recognize that Hammerton’s most valuable assets walk in and out of our doors daily.” What is more American than an unshakable belief in the power of the individual?

VANGUARD FURNITURE vanguardfurniture.com |

Anyone who has ever tried to sew a straight seam, build a cabinet or finish a piece of furniture knows how difficult it is. It requires not only experience and know-how, but creativity and a collaborative mindset. Enter western North Carolina-based Vanguard Furniture, the custom case goods and upholstery furniture maker, whose skilled artisans have elevated furniture production to a fine art. “From material selection to hand-applied, multi-step finishes, every detail is considered,” president Andy Bray says. Offered with endless customization options, Vanguard’s furniture speaks to the American mindset that home is the ultimate form of self-expression. “Each piece of Vanguard furniture reflects the authenticity of a unique material or design sensibility. And yet, each piece is tailored to the distinctive tastes and experiences of its imaginer,” Bray says.

INGENUITY AT ITS FINEST Over the years, Vanguard has innovated with new technologies to improve service. Operational efficiencies allow us to create one-of-a-kind pieces and have them available for delivery in fewer than four weeks. And our new 3D visualizer applies state-of-the-art technology to visualize custom options and finishes on the fly and to rotate and examine your creation from any angle.

CUSTOMIZATION: THE AMERICAN WAY The American spirit is more independent, and as a result, prizes customization. From a design standpoint, products must be scaled and tailored to American sensibilities; those who desire furniture of distinction because they value their independence and individuality. From the production standpoint, the only way to manifest that goal is to do it locally.

American manufacturing—especially the way we do it at Vanguard—builds furniture one piece at a time, so that each can be unique.

“ At Vanguard, everything we create involves provenance and customization.”

As we take solace in our houses, the kitchen’s role as the heart of the home has become more essential than ever—it’s where we take business calls, help our children with homework, gather for breakfast and evening meals, and enjoy a refreshing cocktail at day’s end. So, it comes as no surprise that blending the kitchen and family room into one great room layout is high on most clients’ wish lists. Today, designers are planning adaptable spaces ideal for prepping meals, breaking bread and intimate socializing, as seen in this stunning project by designer Adam Hunter.

BIG PICTURE

For designer Adam Hunter, this impressive space started as a dream. “I had a vision of an all-metal kitchen in a beautiful patina with a floating marble hood,” he explains. With the help of all-star architect Steve Giannetti, trusting clients and an ace custom cabinetry company, Hunter was lucky enough to see his fantasy come to life. adamhunterinc.com What a room! I wanted to change up my own aesthetic with this project and I certainly reached high. But it really started with doing something unique, which was creating an all-metal kitchen.

How did you decide on the marble hood? We actually had to frame the house so it could support the hood, but I knew we had to go for it!

The marble, which my dealers call a pinot noir, has moments of eggplant, burgundy and just the right kind of gold. When it all gleams together at a certain point in the day, it’s magic.

Talk to us about the cabinetry. Amuneal created some really luxurious textures and colors with stainless steel designs. We sort of invented a patina we’re calling “root beer.” It works so well with some of the other tones and materials found throughout the space. The glass cases flanking the range continue the view out to the backyard—they’re definitely a favorite feature.

To create a soaring space in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, designer Amber Brown Matlack of Brown Interiors knew she wanted to preserve the charm and history of the original 1935 Tudor-style residence when crafting this great room. After combining what was once a galley kitchen, small breakfast nook and dining room into a central area, she extended the ceiling into the attic to achieve a vaulted effect and expose the wooden beam. The warm color scheme evokes a nostalgic feel, including the mauve and gray tones on the cabinetry and a beautiful stone backsplash. Brown Matlack says she aimed for “a sense of openness and livability in the heartbeat of the house.” browninteriors.net

Report WITH WELLNESS TOP OF MIND, LUXE DIVES INTO DESIGN DEVOTED TO REST, CONNECTION AND CLARITY.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

THE

To celebrate the agrarian history of a family’s Bridgehampton property, Historical Concepts and Michael Davis Design & Construction envisioned a structure reminiscent of traditional potato barns in the area. Cedar board-and-batten cladding and masonry details, including Connecticut fieldstone retaining walls and natural bluestone cleft slabs designed in tandem with Hollander Design Landscape Architects, speak to the old-meets-new ethos.

TAKE COMFORT Take care. Stay safe. Be well. Who could have guessed the weight these phrases would take on in this uncharted new decade? Times of introspective nesting have illuminated that such directives start at home, reinvigorating a discussion on the many ways design can enhance our mental and physical wellbeing. Here, we share an assortment of restorative spaces whose principles—thoughtful details, indulgent amenities and ample conversation with nature— provide ideas for sanctuaries large and small.

LX_COM33_TheLook_TheReport.indd 137

Knowing that the indoor pool would be used through the colder months, the team nestled the feature in the ground, adding a south-facing skylight. “Between the warmth of the rammed earth and the natural light, it’s a perfect winter pool,” says Historical Concepts principal Kevin Clark. “It doesn’t feel like a cold conservatory.”

Surrounded by tiered rows of apple trees, the sunken Rebound Ace tennis court (right) is maintenance free. The vaulted great room (below) earns its keep as an office space, entertaining area and lounge between tennis matches.

Sweet 1ESCAPE A BRIDGEHAMPTON SPORTS BARN OFFERS THE ULTIMATE FAMILY RETREAT.

“With a remote property, you have the opportunity to create a destination,” says Kevin Clark, principal of Historical Concepts. And so it came to be that a family’s brief for a recreational outbuilding on their Bridgehampton estate evolved into a sports barn laden with wellness features.

Surrounded by acres of pristine farmland, the structure demanded a sensitive approach, one that Historical Concepts—an architecture firm known for legacy properties rooted in place— was well-suited for. Alongside interior designer Steven Gambrel, landscape architect Edmund Hollander and master builder Michael Davis, who assembled the team, plans were drawn for a lowslung, cedar-clad activity center softly folded into the rolling terrain.

The decision to nestle the barn into, not onto, the landscape is an exercise in both historical accuracy and ingenuity. First, it references semisubterranean potato barns local to the region.

Second, it meets a Hamptons building code limiting accessory structures to 20 feet high, while still allowing for a three-story structure for all the family’s amenity wishes to live in harmony. In full, the sprawling retreat includes family offices, a large vaulted great room, a kitchen, an indoor lap pool and spa, men’s and women’s locker rooms and an exercise room—plus a sunken tennis court with viewing pavilion.

“The lay of the land and the feel of a place reveal themselves when you put pen to paper,” says Clark. “The top floor gym has a wonderful

LX_COM33_TheLook_TheReport.indd 139

view over the property, and the sauna, steam and massage rooms round out the indoor activities,” shares Davis. “In addition to the gathering room, there is a suite of three family offices particularly helpful during these times.”

Throughout, Gambrel’s interiors scheme—a medley of warm woods and chalky blue, green and sand hues—sets a restorative tone. “The palette is muted, based on the environment as inspiration,” he explains, and indeed, the natural setting inspires. Complementing the agrarian landscape, Hollander took care in employing native plantings, such as bayberry, winterberry and viburnum, to welcome birds, bees and other pollinators. “Healthy, living landscapes are essential to the wellness of all visitors, all species,” he notes.

Like many affluent New Yorkers, the family decamped to their country residence in the early days of the pandemic. In turn, the beloved barn has become a haven beyond anything client or design team could have planned for—a hub of safety, togetherness and health. “One of the most rewarding parts of our job is when you see a place you designed be truly life-altering for a family,” says Clark, adding, “When you treat home as resort, there’s something magical about that.”

GOODVIBES THREE DESIGNERS SHARE A PRINCIPLE THAT SHAPES THEIR PERSONAL PRACTICE.

LAURENCE CARR

New York, New York Wabi-sabi is a worldview rooted in Japanese origin all about taming desire for perfection in design, freeing us to live more sustainably and impart truly authentic style in our homes. To seek it is to honor the patina and character of our interiors and collected pieces, find harmony with nature, honor simplicity and do away with excess clutter. I help clients seek wabi-sabi through utilization of the seven Zen principles— one of which, for example, is incorporating unique pieces from our clients’ own collections. This practice shifts focus from trendy items to those that have been built lovingly, and with noble materials. Together with our clients, we identify character-rich pieces and intentionally place them in different rooms as the sturdy roots of our interior design approach. laurencecarr.com

MACELLE ALBEDA

Pasadena, California Biophilia stems from Greek as “love of life” and is about our innate human need to be connected to nature. Biophilic design focuses on how to layer nature into interiors, whether through actual elements like

LX_COM33_TheLook_TheReport.indd 140

plants, stone, wood, water and natural light, or “biomimicry,” which are shapes and patterns that remind us of being outdoors. The benefits are substantial: Close proximity to nature triggers a dopamine response in our brains that promotes well-being, lowering blood pressure and stress.

Starting from the most basic ways to inspire biophilia, you can paint walls in colors we find in nature, like green, blue and brown. Then move on to adding motifs and plants. Advanced options include stone walls, water features and changing the building’s access to natural light. studiomahal.com

NINA MAGON

Houston, Texas One way of fostering well-being at home that I believe in and have used with great results is Vastu Shastra, an Indian system of architecture similar to feng shui. In Vastu Shastra, there are 5 elements: Earth (Bhumi), Water (Jala), Air (Vayu), Fire (Agni), and Space (Akasha). The central part of a house is ruled by the space element. As all directions meet in the center, it is the holiest and most powerful zone. So when possible, I like to ensure that the most-used room—often the living area—is located in the direct center and designed with a minimal aesthetic for less clutter and low furniture to allow for plenty of natural light. This approach harmonizes the flow of energy throughout the home, which facilitates good health. contourinteriordesign.com

RC: The site for the house is on a butte that overlooks the Snake River Valley with extraordinary views. The bedroom is located at the southern, most private end of the home and is embedded into the gentle slope of the site, connecting with the landscape at a more immediate scale. RJ: There’s a calmness and a majestic beauty that surrounds you. That’s what the color palette, the lighting, the simplicity of the design were about—creating harmony with nature.

Material connection. RC: The southern wall is smooth-formed cast-in-place concrete, the flooring is white oak with a custom finish, the window wall is aluminum with a clear anodized finish, and the ceiling is composed of panels of white oak. RJ: The rug is bamboo silk, the bed is really luxurious suede, the pillows are a cashmere plaid from Loro Piana. Those tonal elements are about continuity with the exteriors and the architecture.

Design highlights. RC: The water feature that stretches along the master suite is dynamic.

We placed mirror-finish stainless steel panels on the roof overhang above the stream. The combination of gently moving water and mirror reflects constantly changing patterns of light into the master suite throughout the day. The effect is magical. RJ: The seamless windows in this room actually open from the bottom.

Can you imagine waking up hearing the water rippling and the birds chirping in the garden?

Sometimes, you’ll see a moose having a drink.

You don’t get closer to nature than that.

Dream team. RC: WRJ’s selections reinforce the quiet elegance of the home. The luxe finishes and fabrics express their commitment to quality and attention to detail that are guiding principles in the architecture. RJ: This house was a unified vision. The client wanted peace and simplicity, and every team member came at this design from the same philosophy.

Home WORK

Some decamped to dining tables. Others converted spare rooms to studies. In the immediate wake of the pandemic, remote work culture shifted inexorably, and with it, the landscape of home office design. With more and more companies adopting permanently flexible policies, it’s no surprise that designers are seeing an uptick in office updates. On deck? Spaces that foster productivity and focus, certainly—but also tranquility and moodboosting chic. Take a cue from these calming desks around the country.

▲ FRESH PERSPECTIVE In Vero Beach, Florida, designer Kevin Dumais’ unconventional furniture configuration is twofold. First, it makes way for foot traffic between the room’s two entrances. Second, it sets the client up to take advantage of the resplendent views and shifting sunlight throughout the day. dumaisid.com

BETTER TOGETHER With restorative garden views for the taking, designer Bryan Yates aligned a Dallas, Texas, couple’s work areas along a single window wall. The decision has a reverse fishbowl effect: The elegantly minimal design can be conversely enjoyed from the outdoor entertaining spots. yatesdesygn.com

DESIGN PARTNERS LINDA SULLIVAN AND SILVIA HENDRAWAN REFLECT ON A FIRM FIRST: A TEA ROOM IN ATHERTON, CALIFORNIA.

AS TOLD TO GRACE BEULEY HUNT

From the very beginning, it was meant to be a place of rest. The architect picked the location for it’s amazing natural light and we worked with a feng shui master. Building started in September to encourage good luck and prosperity for the home. It was a special brief in that way—there was meaning behind every detail.

We’re seeing more and more clients asking for specialty rooms, but these clients—two firstgeneration Chinese sisters—really use this space.

After a hard day’s work, they retreat to drink tea together, practice calligraphy and meditate.

They wanted to honor their heritage—but to modernize, too. Tea room window treatments are traditionally bamboo; we chose a light grass Conrad shade. The Chilewich rug is textured like a tatami mat and the white-oak furnishings are custom by Chi Wing Lo, a Chinese furniture designer living in Italy. The table has natural stone for water draining and a metal plate for the hot teapot to rest on.

In spring, the sisters drink Longjing tea. In summer, jasmine tea paired with red bean pastry. In autumn, black tea with moon cake and in winter, Pu’er tea.

They have an incredible collection of ceramic vessels; their most-prized is a Gongfu tea set from Yingge, a town famous for its production of porcelain. It was an inspiring project in that we learned so much from our clients. It also showed us how important it is to have a room dedicated to feeling good in—to feeling happy. We’re now looking to incorporate this principal into more of our designs. sullivandesignstudio.com

ART + FRAMING

Ask the Expert What do you feel has been your greatest success and why?

My greatest success is my family, but when it comes to art, my greatest success is completing each piece and feeling good about it.

Stephanie Dillon, Artist and Owner 612.867.5331 stephaniedillonart stephaniedillonart.com

What is your next move?

I will be doing a show at the Cambria Gallery in San Francisco this fall, and a one-day show inspired by Louis Vuitton.

STEPHANIE DILLON ART Artist Stephanie Dillon made a name for herself in a big way. Her first piece of art was commissioned by the Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis for Dr. Makaziwe Mandela, the daughter of Nelson Mandela. The self-taught artist hasn’t looked back, with national gallery showings, commissions and editorial recognition to her credit. With more than 20 years of operational experience behind her, Dillon is adept and passionate about creating mixed media. “I can paint on any medium using a variety of creative techniques,” Dillon says. From her gallery (Stephanie Dillon Art), online and in person, art enthusiasts are invited into her world. While she enjoys sharing her art with others via Instagram, Facebook and other social media outlets, Dillon never names her pieces. “I hope that a piece or two speaks to whomever views them,” she says. “I firmly believe that the owner of the art should name it according to what it means to them.” Driven by an independent spirit and self-motivated work ethic, Dillon enjoys working with emerging artists in collaborative endeavors. The result is nothing short of a masterpiece.

LX_CH62_PR_StephanieDillionArt.indd 1

Can you elaborate on special areas of focus or types of art?

I have a collection of nudes that always have a scar; it’s part of me and my story.

My breast cancer experience catapulted me into the world of painting as a way to cope.

In what ways do you include the client in your creative process?

Listen, listen, listen! I love hearing people’s stories and them trusting me to express their vision through art.

“ Old is still beautiful, what exists is enough and art is everywhere. I am influenced by my story, music, and what is going on in the world.”

1. A framed mixed media, Abstract #15 pays homage to Dillon’s love of Texas and one of her favorite stores there.

2. Bull #1 is inspired by Dillon’s family ties to Texas and the Japanese Kanji letter that means “life.” 3. Japan Inspired #3 reflects Dillon’s time living in Japan, elements from which she incorporates into many of her pieces. The Kanji letter meaning “life” is a focal point. 4. An acrylic painting on canvas, Japan Inspired #4 was cut from the wood frame, matted and framed onto a luxurious high-gloss black frame. 5. Abstract #20 is a mixed media with tissue paper, photo rag prints and inspiring words by the artist herself.

The brand believes those makers embody what it means to be True to Food, and it intends to give them tools that honor that. Its latest innovation certainly advances that mission. If you long to serve Michelin-worthy food at home, look to the Dual-Fuel Pro Range and its integrated program: The Gourmet Chef.

SOUS VIDE FOR THE SENSES

EXPLORE THE METHOD BEHIND CHEF-MADE MAGIC

Imagine the smell of a cut of steak that has retained its seasonings like never before; the taste and texture of each slice you bite into, its juices and flavor just as you prefer. A feast for the senses, if ever there was one.

This could be your dinner, every evening. Allow us to introduce you to sous vide … the term is French for “under vacuum” and the technique is revolutionary. Vacuum seal your food—spices, marinades and all—and submerge it to cook in water. You can regulate the temperature to within a single degree and the heat will be evenly distributed from start to finish. The result, whether steak or fish, an egg or vegetables, redefines “perfectly cooked.”

It used to be that maintaining the condition of the water demanded complexity, with equipment and processes that weren’t suited to the home. But no more. Thanks to Signature Kitchen Suite, this method is now yours to experience on the daily. Bathe your steak to its best quality ever, and then give it a little charring on the cooktop— all using one, first-of-its-kind range. Everything you need is right on your cooktop, with no extra tools or equipment required.

TECHNICUREAN™ (noun): A NEW GENERATION OF FORWARD-THINKING COOKS, COMBINING A PASSION FOR FOOD WITH AN APPRECIATION OF INNOVATION

Anyone who has ever zealously pursued something would agree, flexibility is the mother of invention. Without the freedom to test and try, discovery is all but impossible, and what fervent doer doesn’t seek to elevate their craft? Enter, Technicureans. These groundbreaking, visionary and health-conscious home chefs value food in its freshest forms and the state-of-the-art tools and techniques that enable them to achieve new heights in cooking it—and they’ve got a favorite new kitchen mate: Signature Kitchen Suite’s Pro Rangetop.

Available in 36-inch and 48-inch versions, its Ultra-High™ burners provide 23K BTUs of pure gas cooking power for better searing and quick

stir-frying, while the Ultra-Low™ burners simmer down to maintain temperatures as low as 100 degrees (essential for the preparation of delicate sauces and sugary confections). The two-zone induction area can be used for a teppanyaki plate or larger cookware. All of this combines with carefully incorporated “green” features, like built-in exhaust, and compatibility with Signature Kitchen Suite’s smartphone application. Drop a cut of fish into the sous vide bath and monitor its progress from the couch, or preheat the oven on your way home from work. Oh yes, did you catch that? The Pro Rangetops are equipped for sous vide, too.

TO PROTECT AND SERVE DO YOUR WINE THE HONOR OF CAREFUL KEEPING

From growing, harvesting and crushing the grapes to aging and bottling the resulting libation, so much effort and attention is devoted to the careful art of winemaking. The same level of thoughtfulness should be given to its next phase, no? Signature Kitchen Suite thinks the answer is certainly yes, and that’s why they collaborated with the world’s most knowledgeable vintners, historians and scientists to develop wine refrigerators qualified for their occupants.

wine: temperature fluctuations, vibration, light and reduced humidity.

Independent temperature zones enable one to organize red, white and sparkling varieties according to their needs; an inverted linear compressor and a metal interior minimize vibration to less than 2 gal (cm/s2); dark-tinted, triple-paned glass protects from UV; and evaporators maintain steady humidity levels. It’s the most ideal wine storage system, ever.

Designed to replicate the conditions of old-world wine caves, the 18-inch and 24-inch Integrated Column Wine Refrigerators are a sommelier’s dream. Signature Kitchen Suite’s proprietary Wine Cave Technology™ defends each vintage within (up to 113 bottles in the larger model) against the four elements that are detrimental to

GUIDE TO THE GRAZING BOARD

Ah, the grazing board. It can be an after-school snack plate, elegant party hors d’oeuvre or individual meal. Delicious and aesthetically pleasing, this display of abundance is perfect for foodies of any age and in every setting. It’s a culinary staple.

Given the nature of its ingredients, a grazing board demands a lot from one’s refrigerator. Meats should be quite a bit chillier than fruits and veggies, for example, and most of it can’t sit out for too long once you’ve put your spread together. Signature Kitchen Suite’s 24-inch and 30-inch Integrated Column Refrigerators prove the ultimate partner. Their Lift and Go™ bins and drawers offer a variety of places to customize storage conditions to the needs of specific foods, while a movable snack drawer is expansive enough to house extra-large serving platters. Let’s go to the market.

Find your canvas.

We think wood boards make for beautiful backgrounds, but any traylike surface will do.

Decide on your must-haves.

What are your favorite cheeses? Are you obsessed with olives?

Or is red pepper jelly your jam (pun intended)?

Start pairing.

Choose more foods with your first picks in mind and be intuitive about it. Just because something isn’t a conventional match, doesn’t mean you can’t include it.

Trust your gut, as they say.

Slice, dice + roll!

Get creative with presentation; think brie triangles and cheddar chunks, pepperoni chips and rolled prosciutto.

Top it off with extra flavor.

Nestle dipping bowls into spaces around the board and fill them with yummy condiments (this can also be a great place for items that give off liquid you want to contain, like olives and pickles).

There are a few essential elements that are necessary for having a great kitchen. Intangible concepts, like practicality, usability and function, are at the core of a sound cooking and gathering space. Tangible pieces, like gorgeous cabinetry, best-in-class appliances and exceptional materials elevate any kitchen or bath, regardless of style. Tastemakers Brandy Cohen and Alexander Adducci, senior designers at 210 Design House, weigh in on what’s new and noteworthy in the kitchen. “We’ve been experimenting with dark/black cabinet finishes paired with warmer wood tones. Navy is also popping up with white or lighter grays,” Cohen reveals. Adducci praises push-to-open assist technology. “Apply pressure to the door and it automatically opens a few inches, providing a space to open all the way.

No handles required.”

“ Keep it simple. Less is more, whether working with sleek, contemporary design or ornate, traditional styles.”

Quartz Surfaces.

Quartz looks similar to a natural stone but is nearly indestructible.

Ceramic Cabinet Doors and Worktops.

A revolutionary concept employing ceramic slabs of pure porcelain stoneware, available in large sizes and reduced thickness.

Custom Cabinet Inserts.

The answer to organizing cumbersome culinary tools and accessories.

PRIVATE-LABEL PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

centered_by_design

Claire Staszak, principal and owner of Centered by Design, designs by the two-to-three rule: “Pick two to three elements that are most important to you, and build and design from that mindset,” she says, whether it be cabinets, appliances, counters or finishes. “When you keep it to two to three finishes, there is typically enough interest and balance without being overdone or boring.” Building on this approach, Staszak and her team inject an eclectic, European vibe, incorporating antiques and art into every project. They not only work in many styles, but also a mix of homes. “For new construction, we keep the open-kitchen concept and create rooms in other ways, like a butler’s pantry or mudroom,” she says.

“For historic homes, we maintain the separate kitchen, but may open up the space by taking down a wall or putting up an addition.”

We carry a private-label line of custom cabinetry and do all cabinet design in-house.

They are built locally but can ship anywhere.

This means less back and forth with additional vendors, saving clients time and money. It also means we have excellent craftsmen and millworkers on our team.

In business since 1947, Terrazzo & Marble Supply Companies remains the oldest stone supplier in Chicago, but its mission to stay fresh with countertop offerings continues.

“Providing the best quality and color selection combined with A-plus service will always keep us on the cutting edge,” the team says. Specializing in exotic natural stone slabs, T&M applies its deep relationships around the world to provide premium classic and newly discovered materials. “Countertops are usually the first thing the eyes go to, so a striking countertop is a must,” they say, especially when materials in the kitchen can often be seen from other living areas. Thus, a skilled eye for mixing and matching is key.

“Bringing materials, like quartzite, marble and man-made quartz, together in varieties of finishes is not only fun, but creates a dynamic aesthetic.”

“We maintain one of the largest inventories, so that designers can find that special piece. It’s all about providing the ‘wow’ factor.”

White and gray continue to dominate kitchen and bath palettes, but the T&M team notes a shift away from soft, pastel hues to more vivid, sensational shades. Lavenders, tans, whites and pinks have made way for bold, saturated colors in 2020.

THE SMART + HEALTHY KITCHEN Providing healthy products has been a design criterion for Valcucine since the beginning.

“We use materials that do not generate toxic fumes, like glass, and lacquers that are made with water-based paints, and wood veneers that have no toxic glues,” Accarino says. “We have even replaced chipboard or MDF panels with aluminum frames; a material that doesn’t add to indoor air pollution.” Valcucine’s products are also designed to do more while touching fewer surfaces, minimizing cleaning time and the chance of germs surviving on those surfaces.

More than 20 years ago, Valcucine pioneered the industry, replacing the back section of traditional wall-hung cabinetry with an innovative alternative that provides an efficient way to store small appliances, and reduces the amount of effort required to cook. The European cabinetry purveyor has been challenging the status quo ever since, with kitchen and bath cabinetry, wood flooring, lighting, interior doors and closet systems that create a highly personal home environment. In today’s kitchen, owner Robert Accarino says technology plays an integral role, like opening an entire row of cabinetry with the wave of a hand. Also trending, he says, are pantries and more defined spaces within the kitchen. “While many clients want an open design, many are requesting a space hidden from view for added storage, to clean dirty dishes and the like.”

“ We design kitchens made to last; kitchens that transform cooking into an extraordinary experience for family and friends.”

FEELS SO GOOD A CHICAGO-AREA DREAM TEAM REUNITES TO DESIGN A MODERN FARMHOUSE WITH FLEMISH FLAIR. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY CYNTHIA LYNN

F

or a pair of suburban Chicago empty nesters searching for a home in Hinsdale, it was like being struck by the thunderbolt: As soon as they laid eyes on the newly constructed Belgian-style farmhouse, they fell under its romantic spell. Much to their consternation, however, so did everybody else—and it was snatched up by another buyer within hours. In a lucky twist, the builder, Julie Laux, had another property in the planning stage with the same designer, Brynn Olson, and architectural designer, Patrick Fortelka. Fortified by their confidence in the trio’s previous collaboration, the couple jumped at the chance to replicate that magic from the ground up.

Because Hinsdale’s housing stock spans most of the 20th century, the client chose a similar modern farmhouse style to bridge the neighborhood’s mix of traditional and contemporary architecture. “We wanted a home that would integrate into the community but also offer the comforts of a newer design, and this style struck the right balance,” says the husband, a lawyer and part-time inventor who holds many patents. He also cites a far less obvious influence,

LX_CH62_HOM_Olson_12.indd 252

albeit one that’s more conceptual than aesthetic. “Growing up in Chicago, I’ve always been aware of how well the Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe works at bringing the outdoors into the living space, and that idea was always in the back of my mind.”

Tying the interiors to the outside environment is accomplished in several ways: Belgian bluestone, which paves the portico leading to the large glass front doors, extends into the entry hall, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Other exterior materials make cameo appearances inside the home, too. The façade’s goldenhued brick, which was salvaged from a local Gerber baby food factory, continues in the foyer and reappears throughout the house via interior walls and fireplace surrounds. Flecked with weathered hints of light blue and mint green, its unusual patina is a faded relic from a bygone era when advertising signage was painted directly onto buildings. “We used a lot of the exterior brick purposely on the inside because we wanted the house to have that sense of history and look like it’s been added onto over time,” says Fortelka.

7/29/20 4:47 PM

Vertical shiplap paneling, a collaboration between architectural designer Patrick Fortelka and builder Julie Laux, allows a dramatic work by artist Cleveland Dean to be a focal point of the dining room. An urchin-like chandelier by Kelly Wearstler and sconces from Hudson Valley Lighting pick up on the gold leaf in the painting.

Thanks to a clever floor plan, the home unfolds gracefully and gradually without ever losing sight of that outdoor connection. “Instead of being a box with a dark center, the layout is an H-shape, so it has less at its core and more on its edges,” says Fortelka. As a result, most of the structure is only one room deep, and each of those rooms features two walls of windows, allowing the spaces to be drenched in natural light.

For the interiors, the clients gave Olson free rein to get creative—and it shows, from the dark and dramatic study to the playful custom rope bed in one of the guest rooms.

Because the couple was sold on the overall vibe of the team’s previous project, she stuck to a similar pared-down palette of soothing neutrals. Contemporary artworks by Chicago’s own Francine Turk and Cleveland Dean provide high-contrast accents. “You can never go wrong with a beautiful piece of black-and-white abstract art,” Olson notes.

“It makes a room feel fresh, especially when placed in a more traditional space.”

While an array of cool grays and sapphire-like blues dominates most of the rooms, the lower level, which features an extensive wine cellar and bar, relies on warmer tans and creams to convey an air of relaxed elegance.

Deep window wells and a glass staircase keep the space feeling remarkably open and bright, dispelling conventional notions of a what a subterranean rec room should be. “Part of our ethos when we design is to focus on the areas that people might ignore,” says Olson. “When you put time and effort into something like the basement, you’re going to get a return on the investment because people are going to gravitate toward it.”

The entertaining-ready space has become a favorite of the clients, though when pressed to cite the best part of the entire project they agree that it was the moment they first saw the completed house. “It was just like the big reveal on one of those TV makeover shows,” says the husband. “We had gone to a wedding in the Florida Keys and when we came back, everything was in place.” Adds the wife, “Had the furnishings been brought in piece by piece, I would have had time to overanalyze each item.

But when you see it all together at once, you can’t help but stand back and admire how beautifully it all flows.”

hen dreaming of their retirement roost, few people envision its location as a former parking garage. And yet, for a recently retired couple who moved from Dallas to Chicago to be closer to family, a converted 1930s Art Deco building with streamlined, contemporary interiors proved to be exactly what they were looking for. “They didn’t want to buy in a high-rise, but they didn’t want the upkeep of a single-family home,” explains design principal Jessica Lagrange. The happy medium? A twostory unit in the converted Lincoln Park historical building that had the feel of a single-family home but with the ease of a residential building. There was also an added enticement: two outdoor terraces—a rarity for buildings of its kind in the city—with floor-to-ceiling windows that drenched the interiors with natural light.

LX_CH62_HOM_LaGrange_10.indd 264

Embracing the freedom that comes with new beginnings, the couple decided to try a different design aesthetic from the one they’d had in their suburban Texas home. “They wanted to be a littler hipper. They wanted us to push them a little bit and go outside of their box,” says Lagrange, who, along with design director Jennifer Durand and interior designer Jennifer Sucher, was brought on to infuse the space with personality. “They were looking to start fresh.”

So, aside from some select artwork and antique pieces, the couple brought very few things with them. While they were willing to indulge their adventurous side, they were still minimalists at heart. And that meant certain things, such as elaborate patterns and bold colors, would be pushing them a little too far outside the box. “They really liked more organic textures and weren’t big on pattern,” notes Durand.

“Everything is pretty much a solid, so we added interest by

The goal for the kitchen was for it to be clean, contemporary and functional, with two key focal points: the Baker counter stools and the pendants from Circa Lighting. The sleek cabinetry is by Ernestomeda.

using chunkier knits and different materials.” Mohair, velvet and metals such as burnished brass bring warmth to the space, while the sleek geometric forms of lamps and side tables keep it feeling fresh and modern. A sculptural black-and-brass chandelier provides a counter to the master bedroom’s softer, feminine tones, while the chandelier over the dining table echoes the clean lines of the building’s interior.

Since the wife was easing her way into retirement and planned to continue doing some consulting, she needed a home office. Situated on the second floor, where she could take phone calls away from the TV in the husband’s firstfloor den, the office is one of the residence’s bolder spaces, featuring jewel-tone walls and statement accessories as

well as a Moroccan rug, African stool and assorted other items collected from the globe-trotting couple’s travels.

More visual surprise resides in its petite powder room, where a vibrant graphic print adorns the walls. “This is truly the one place in the home that they really allowed us to go a little bit crazier and bring in that pattern,” says Durand.

“And because it was such a small powder room, it was fun to use such a big and kind of overscale print in that space, playing with the different proportions.” Adds Lagrange, “It was a push for them, but because it was behind a door, they trusted us.”

To strike a balance with the contemporary interior architecture and tie into the building’s Art Deco roots, the design team sourced one-of-a-kind antiques and works

JJ Millwork Design created the custom desk and tackboard in the wife’s colorful office.

The team then paired it with a Theodore Alexander chair.

The design team wanted to bring a softer, more feminine approach to the clients’ bedroom.

A Theodore Alexander bed and vintage touches, such as the rug from Oscar Isberian, 1960s Gigi Radice armchair and gilded sunburst mirror, achieve that goal.

by regional artisans. Custom vintage furnishings paired with modern variations on midcentury classics gracefully segment the large living room into a series of more intimate spaces, among them a cozy seating arrangement in front of the ribbon fireplace that makes long Chicago winters bearable for the Texas couple.

But during the city’s warm summer days, the two outdoor spaces, which flow off the kitchen and living room, are where the couple spends their time. Landscape designer Jayson DeGeeter drew his color themes for terraces from Lagrange’s organic interior palette. Using ipe decking and glazed terra-cotta pots filled with shrubs and perennials, DeGeeter says he was also inspired by the owners’ love of the nearby lake. “Combined with the texture and colors of the glazed pots, the plants selected for each terrace— juniper, rugosa rose, calamagrostis, cotoneaster—call upon a visit to Lake Michigan,” he says.

There is another member of the household who also enjoys the outdoor space: the couple’s pooch. In fact, their beloved dog played an important role in the interiors as well. Performance fabrics were used throughout and a dog shower was installed in the mudroom, a charming touch that reflects the couple’s fresh outlook on life. It’s that open-armed approach that made the project so compelling in the first place. “She wanted it to be very eclectic,” says Lagrange. “I think that definitely reflects her taste.”

T

his was an amazing architectural challenge,” says architect Kevin Toukoumidis of the stately European-inspired abode he designed for a Glencoe couple with two young children. The clients had lived in a 1950s-era house on the same property for about a year before they decided to build anew, bringing on Toukoumidis to crystallize their collective vision. The husband envisaged a modern, perhaps even minimalist, dwelling while the wife was leaning toward something more classic. A challenge, to be sure, but one that Toukoumidis has faced often enough over the years to know how to overcome it. Working his magic alongside interior designer Elizabeth Pasquinelli and builder Jon Kogan, Toukoumidis created a home that simultaneously achieved both of their goals. “It’s timeless,” the wife muses.

The stunning white-brick façade sets the tone upon arrival, although achieving the desired shade of white was not as simple as it might seem. Many whites contain hints of pink or blue. Others aren’t uniform enough. Toukoumidis and the clients pored over a dozen samples before discovering one with a pure white hue. It turned out to be perfect, especially against the limestone banding that accents it.

But the drama upon entry is just the beginning. Inside, a story of sophisticated contrast unfolds through sculptural elements and a black-and-white palette. Natural daylight floods through large windows into the center entry portal, where a serpentine stairway with minimalist black steel balustrades and an elegant ebony-stained wood railing connects all three levels. “It feels tailored and clean, but there are sculptural forms and rich textures,” Pasquinelli says. “The staircase they designed is grand, but it’s also minimal and striking.”

The same can be said of the living room. A wall of dark, built-in cabinetry juxtaposes the white walls and ceiling,

“YOU CAN FEEL THE THOUGHT AND ENERGY THAT WAS PUT INTO ALL THE DETAILS.” –KEVIN TOUKOUMIDIS

which are adorned with crisp, streamlined moldings.

Pasquinelli brought in a sleek black chaise longue, black marble side tables and overlapping painted stucco cocktail tables to contrast with the plush white furnishings in front of the white marble fireplace. “There’s this idea of playing with texture, light and shadow,” she explains. “All of that creates dynamic exchange in the space.” The room opens to a classic white kitchen, where, because there are no windows, Toukoumidis incorporated a solar tube above the island. A tall bank of dark cabinetry and a steel range hood punctuate the white subway wall tile and Calacatta slab porcelain countertops. “You can feel the thought and energy that was put into all the details,” Toukoumidis says, pointing to the charcoal Italian porcelain tile inlaid into the hardwood flooring beneath the breakfast table.

To create a sense of calm and cohesiveness, Toukoumidis carried several materials throughout the home. The Calacatta porcelain in the kitchen is also found in the powder room, topping the vanity and encasing the wall behind it, and again in the master bathroom, where it complements a navy tile floor laid in a chevron pattern and is set off by natural light streaming in through floorto-ceiling windows. Once again, juxtaposition unfolds, with the bright bathroom opening to a moody master bedroom with black walls and a handsome fireplace bracketed by a pair of French doors. They open to a balcony overlooking the lush backyard by landscape designer David Migdal, who took a modern, minimalist approach, incorporating grid concrete pavers and gravel walks to play off of the architecture.

The patio looks out toward the tennis court, which is what sold the property to the clients in the first place.

While new ones are no longer allowed in Glencoe, this one was grandfathered in—but there was a price to pay for keeping it. “The house can only cover so much of the ground,” Toukoumidis notes, “but the tennis court counts as ground coverage.” To give them the space they required, Toukoumidis improvised, incorporating a subterranean TV lounge, gym and sport court that gives the family more than enough recreation space. “Constraints are an opportunity,” Toukoumidis says. “It became a really great puzzle to solve.”

After living in a rental for 18 months, the owners were excited to finally move into their new home. When the weather cooperates (it is Chicago, after all), they can often be found on their covered back porch, where phantom screens disappear into the wall when not in use, or out by the fire pit, where they enjoy entertaining friends. It’s a house that is well lived in, as emphasized by the wife.

And she’s confident it will maintain its elegance for years to come. “I love how classic it is,” she says. “I never tire of the timelessness of black-and-white.”
