Breaking the Rules

The Quiet Type

With extended wings that embrace a stunning view, this modern abode in Telluride earned the nickname “Soaring Eagle.”

The owner of this Lakewood dwelling possesses a chic wardrobe, so the designers tailored an elegant family home to fit her style.

Denver painter Lola Montejo knows the tenets of color theory, and she makes her work better by defying them.

A design team allowed a sense of place and history to lead the way when remodeling a Greenwood Village property.

This issue of Luxe is essentially a love letter to the people who make design happen. In addition to our annual GOLD LIST, which recognizes talents from across the country who have had their projects featured in our pages the past year, we celebrate creative originators and innovators: a community and collective of people who are grounded in their craft and dedicated to pushing design forward.

We thank all of you for imagining and enriching the homes we live in.

As the rhythms of daily life begin to return, and the pandemic recedes into the rear view, I am hopeful that the meaningfulness of home, and the people who reimagine the spaces of our everyday life, will remain in our hearts and minds.

Luxe celebrates people in design, including interior designers Rayman Boozer (above), Martyn Lawrence Bullard (middle) and Young Huh (right).

Healthy Planet. Healthy People.

Healthy Lifestyles.

2022 IS THE YEAR OF THE HEALTHY KITCHEN. In many ways, true wellness begins in the kitchen. It is where we give our body the nutrition it needs, where we spend time bonding with loved ones over culinary projects, where we learn recipes and engage our most creative selves in the process. And at the heart of this high-performance heart of the home is its appliance suite. That’s where Beko comes in.

A global appliance manufacturer with a product presence in 400 million homes in 140 countries, Beko is driven by a three-fold commitment to helping people be well through the production of appliances that promote health. The brand also believes that healthy people are only possible on a healthy planet, so it employs a zero-carbon manufacturing process. Its products are full of eco-friendly innovations and continually achieve ENERGY STAR certifications.

Beko’s EverFresh+ system with Active Fresh Blue Light prevents food waste, keeping fruits and vegetables crisp for up to 30 days and locking in nutrients.

In 2022, Beko is taking it all a step further. It introduces the Healthy Kitchen Council, which comprises leading kitchen and home designers, nutritionists, dietitians and other health and wellness experts who will help the brand shape the concept of the ultimate healthy kitchen. As part of the initiative, Beko will present 22 new cooking, cooling and cleaning products equipped with proprietary technologies and features to empower Americans to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.

Doling Out Wellness

In partnership with Dole Food Company, one of the largest fresh fruit and vegetable providers in the world, Beko is working to bring healthier food to more tables. Together, the two companies will support hunger-relief and child nutrition charities that are striving to end hunger and encourage healthier living across the United States.

“ANDY WARHOL: LIFETIMES” AND “WARHOL IN COLORADO: THE ARTIST’S RELATIONSHIP WITH JOHN AND KIMIKO POWERS” Fans of pop-art icon Andy Warhol have two compelling reasons to visit the Aspen area. First is “Andy Warhol: Lifetimes,” a major international retrospective on view through March 27 at the Aspen Art Museum, the exhibition’s only U.S. venue. Here, more than 200 works spanning the artist’s career are displayed alongside archival biographical materials, exploring the connections between Warhol’s life and work. Just down the road in Carbondale, a nearly concurrent exhibition at the Powers Art Center is on view through April 30. “Warhol in Colorado: The Artist’s Relationship with John and Kimiko Powers,” features many of the artist’s most celebrated works, including the complete portfolios of “Marilyn” and “Flowers,” while also illuminating Warhol’s friendship with Aspen residents John and Kimiko Powers. aspenartmuseum.org; powersartcenter.org

What’s Coeur’s niche in the Denver design market? We’ve seen a surge in requests for smaller renovations, and Coeur focuses on that scale of project. If a client just wants to redo their powder room, we can help.

Why is cabinetry such an integral part of your offerings? I think it’s absolutely essential to have good cabinetry in your home. It’s something you touch every single day and always a big line item in the budget, so it’s crucial to get it right. That’s why we wanted to partner with Plato Woodwork—they get it.

What are the possibilities for custom cabinetry? Plato is really innovative with their materials, and while they offer classic, solidwood cabinetry, they’re always pushing the envelope with everything from beautiful textured woods to doors inlaid with brass.

Can you describe the other home goods Coeur offers? We’ve curated antiques, new furnishings, a custom upholstery collection, and we’ve brought in lighting, candle and apothecary lines. I look for pieces that tell a story. Everything is very warm, textural and organic.

As director of interiors for Denver-based Ruggles Mabe Studio, designer Emily Lindemann takes a holistic approach to her work, marrying architectural details and luxurious finishes to create rooms with timeless style. “Giving clients an integrated experience has always been important to us, and we wanted to expand that,” she says.

So, when the opportunity arose to create a tactile showroom experience, she embraced it. Called Coeur after the French word for “heart,” the Washington Park studio offers fine custom and semi-custom cabinetry, interior design services, and a selection of new and found home furnishings and accessories. coeurinteriors.com

LOCAL ARTISTS TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON

EMMETT CULLIGAN

It would be easy, says art adviser Ann Benson Reidy, to merely place pretty pictures in her clients’ homes and offices, but this industry veteran is after something more: “If I can make people weak in the knees and educate them about different genres of art—and help them move away from what their parents had to realize their own vision—well, that’s just awesome,” she says. Whether she’s hunting for early-edition photographs for private collectors or works that convey a brand’s unique ethos— her Denver-based firm just placed more than 200 pieces

by Hawaii artists at the ‘A‘ali‘i tower at Honolulu’s new Ward Village community—Benson Reidy is game for a global search. “I don’t have a stable of artists,” she says.

“I get to use every gallery in the world.” That said, Colorado has proven a wellspring of top talent—including these artists catching her eye now. annbensonreidy.com

At William Havu Gallery, Denver “Emmett studied painting at the Art Students League of New York before pursuing his fine art degree in sculpture at the University of Colorado Denver. The magic of his abstract contemporary sculptures in steel is in his manipulation of the material. In the ‘Rubric’ series, it appears as though he has inflated this hard, unapproachable, almost mean material, giving it a curvature, softness and femininity that is very kind, forgiving and almost sensual.

You just want to touch it.”

KATE PETLEY At Robischon Gallery, Denver

SARAH MCKENZIE At David B. Smith Gallery, Denver “This Boulder-based painter’s latest oil-on-canvas depictions of interior architecture examine real exhibition spaces—from galleries to iconic museums—and how they resonate with her. She’s looking at geometry, patterns, the surfaces within a room and how art interacts with each space. A composition might include an artwork she draws from reality, but she’ll find that viewpoint that makes it sing.

It takes a special person to view her work; the client is someone who understands and appreciates design and space.”

068

LUXESOURCE.COM

“Kate, who is based in Longmont, is always examining how urban and public spaces can be psychologically charged and the result is very powerful, vibrant small- and largescale canvases, photographs and monoprints. She is quite interested in process and has created a unique way of using photography that does not immediately make you think of photography. I’ve placed her work in private homes, but I love it in financial institutions because it exudes strength and commands viewership.”

SAMI AL KARIM AND HALIM AL KARIM At Robischon Gallery, Denver “The story of Denver-based artists and brothers Sami and Halim Al Karim is something to grab your heart. Born in Iraq, they fled Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime.

They emerged from this difficult period reengaging with their dreams and identities. Their photography is a dreamy, thought-provoking layering of images—Sami’s explore the natural world, while Halim’s look at the beauty within an individual—and serves as a visual manifestation of that reawakening and of the serenity they’ve found after the trials they endured.”

Ross Beard can pinpoint the exact moment when his passion for furniture design was ignited. “I was probably 12 years old when, during a visit to Atlanta’s High Museum of Art, I came across a desk and chair by Frank Lloyd Wright,” he recalls. “I was captivated by the relationship between design and furniture making.” More than a decade later, Beard and his brother-in-law would start the furniture company Rustic Trades, but it wasn’t until the 2020 launch of Ethos Furniture, a Colorado Springs– based shop Beard helms with business partner Scott Garbe, that he was able to

fully realize his passion for handcrafted furnishings designed with specific spaces— and people—in mind. ethosfurniture.co How does Ethos Furniture achieve a design-focused approach to furniture making? Our offerings range from a residential furniture line to commercial furniture, and we specialize in designs that we can customize. Our incredible clients challenge us to create new designs that enable them to fill out a space in the way they envision.

Describe the Ethos aesthetic. We’re always looking at new materials, designs and ways of approaching furniture building.

At the moment, we’re inspired by the shift toward more contemporary lines. But we always use domestically and sustainably sourced hardwood, and we favor boards with unique grains, knots and imperfections.

Tell us about your latest designs. I’ve been inspired by the shadows that a piece of furniture creates; how a solid space creates a unique look to the area around it. Our winter collection incorporates glass for the first time, highlighting open spaces that contrast with the solid nature of wood.

Old school or new school? It’s a blend of old-school hand-cut joinery and new-school utilization of industrial equipment. I’ve always been inspired by old-world craftsmanship. Our goal is to bring back that approach to furniture making.

TALKING SHOP At Conifer, a home-goods boutique in Denver’s RiNo Art District, the handmade ceramics, candles, cozy alpaca rugs and art filling the salvagedwood display tables aren’t merely functional objects. “It’s really about the stories behind them,” says owner Caitlyn Schwarz. “Makers get their start in so many different ways, and knowing their stories adds value to what they craft.” Take the vases, serving boards and wall-hangings by Montana-based Valley House Woodworking, for example. “After her grandfather passed away, [owner Kelli] inherited his woodworking tools and taught herself the craft,” Schwarz says. “She celebrates the natural forms of the wood she works with, carrying on the story of her grandfather.” Nearly all of Conifer’s wares are wrought by friends Schwarz has made over years of shopping small; many are locals, and all work in the United States. “It’s important to me that I know each of the makers we carry because I value the feeling of community and connection—and because I share their stories with every person that walks through our doors,” Schwarz says. theconifershop.com

THREE DESIGNERS REFLECT ON AN INDELIBLE SPARK.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard

AS TOLD TO MICHELLE BRUNNER

When I was 12 years old, I began my career selling antiques from a stall in London’s Greenwich Market. It was the 1980s then, and Art Deco was the height of fashion. It was one of the first design periods that I studied, and from that, my passion grew.

Because I came from a theatrical background—originally, I wanted to be an actor—it’s only natural that I would be drawn to a style so closely associated with Hollywood glamour. With the advent of cinema, Los Angeles boomed during the 1920s and 1930s, and extraordinary spaces, like the Cicada Club in downtown L.A. and the historic Sunset Tower hotel, were built.

For me, the appeal of Art Deco lies in its association with decadence. The world had just come out of World War I, and there was reason to celebrate. People wanted drama and floridity. We left behind the Edwardian and Arts-and-Crafts periods, and turned almost instantly to this brand-new era symbolized by ornate geometric forms.

Of all the Art Deco styles, I’m particularly fond of Egyptian Revival. It conjures the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, and with that, an air of adventure, travel and romance. In my work and in my own home, many Orientalist and Moroccan motifs blend with the geometric vibe and monochromatic palette of Art Deco.

Recently, I drew inspiration from the period to inform a collection of inlaid stone and lacquer accessories for SV Casa. We did a series of beautiful cases that open into bars, inspired by Hermès and Louis Vuitton steamer trunks from the 1930s. They recall one of the first Art Deco pieces I ever bought: a 1920s alligator case, which makes me long for the time when travel was new.

In those days, people used silver- and-gold jars in sleek cases for toiletries. We used to travel in such style! I’ve kept it with me throughout my journeys. It’s a great nod to my past, both in my dealing in objects of that era and my love of Art Deco itself.

Folk Tales

TOLD

Young Huh

A S T O L D T O G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

RADAR

AS

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to Michigan when I was three. Most of my ideas about my home country came from my parents, who were passionate about collecting and preserving Korean art.

One of my favorite early memories was flying to New York City with my mother.

She was shopping for a scholar screen— an artwork meant to decorate the study of a Yangban (a scholar of the highest class). They depict items a Yangban might exhibit to show his refinement: books, a peony, ink brushes. My mother was also searching for folk art—colorful, informal paintings, often with suggestive subject matter. I learned then that there were two schools of Korean art: the school based on courtly formalities, and the folk art hung in the homes of merchants or shamans.

Adolescent me became fascinated with folk art. Rabbits smoking pipes!

Mountains in every color under the sun!

The rainbow hanbok of young girls! To me, these visions were the heartbeat of traditional Korean art—and today, they inspire every inch of my design aesthetic.

Some people think decorating is about picking pretty fabrics, but it is rooted in soils far deeper than that. As I design this home, I think of all the people who have lived here over the last two centuries, my family tree that dates back 700 years, and my children who will carry the future— and who, I hope, will tell everyone’s story.

Last year, I purchased a home in New York’s Hudson Valley: a classic Colonial in the most idyllic countryside setting. As I dreamt of how to decorate, my thoughts turned to my heritage. One project I’m working on is designing a wallpaper with Fromental, inspired by the papers out of East Asia, which were traded in the New World in the 17th century. I’ll be incorporating both the structure of courtly paintings and the brightness of folk art, all presented in a modern way.

Fashioning a Narrative

TOLD

Rayman Boozer

AS TOLD TO STEPHANIE HUNT

RADAR

AS

Ever since I was a child on a farm in Indiana, fashion has been my obsession.

I was the middle child of nine—the Jan Brady of our family, and sort of invisible.

After seeing The Mary Tyler Moore Show, my dream became to live in a city in an apartment. At age 8, I made a pact that I would one day move to New York and do glamorous things with my life.

We didn’t have a ton of money, but my mother had amazing style. She made a lot of our clothes—think: red-white-and-blue bell bottoms with matching shirts. Even at age 5, I was picky about what colors I wanted to wear, and I hated being dressed like my brothers—I wanted control!

Growing up, I fell in love with magazines.

I’d go down to the local newsstand and pour over Vogue and GQ. One day, a handful of subscription cards fell out, and I noticed the “bill me later” part. I asked the shopkeeper if I could have them, filled them out, and for three months, I built a library. In high school, my parents let me get subscriptions—but I held onto those issues and read them over and over.

A lot of people see fashion as trivial, but I believe that it’s a nonverbal way of communicating with like-minded people.

Especially in Manhattan, you’re always presenting yourself to the public in some way. For me, fashion is armor. It’s a silent means of declaring who you are.

Rayman Boozer stands at the threshold of his Manhattan closet wearing a Prada sweater and slacks (his favorite fashion house) and Tods loafers.

When I went to college, I declared a fashion design major before finding interiors. What I am is a strong fashion editor—I’m good at pairing things together in interesting ways: colors, textures, attitudes—and a mix of high-low. My velvet Gucci blazer with a Uniqlo sweater; a leather Prada trench coat with my favorite Scotch and Soda jeans. Fashion also feeds my approach to color—you see daring combinations on the runway before the home. This, in part, is what keeps my interiors optimistic and open-minded.

Provence

Happy place: About 7 years ago, I rented a 300-year-old house outside of Avignon with my family—and it was kind of an epiphany. We’d spend mornings by the pool, then drive through the Rhône and visit towns, like Roussillon, which has this incredible sandstone, terra-cotta and ochre palette.

Only fitting: Provence has a similar climate to Los Angeles, and the building materials—stucco, painted wood windows and shutters, tiled roofs—are essentially the same as Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, a primary vernacular of Southern California. Dream delivered: From the minute you walk in the front gate, you’re in this other world of pea gravel, olive trees and lavender. You enter the house through a pair of French doors, and it’s all very open and transparent. To me, it’s transportive emotionally. The clients, the design team and I were all so taken with the authenticity of the Provençal lifestyle; we tried to capture it’s relaxed, casual elegance in this home. willigerarchitect.com

Rockefeller Center

RADAR

Designer Bill Musso found inspiration for his Atlanta condo in a beloved landmark’s Art Deco mystique.

main photo: getty. inset: lauren rubinstein.

Early influence: My grandmother was enamored with Radio City Music Hall.

Whenever she had the opportunity, she would take me to see a live show or a movie. We’d spend time walking around Rockefeller Center, and she would point out all of the friezes and statues. Aha moment: Four years ago, I did the 30 Rock tour. I wasn’t so interested in the TV aspect, but in wandering the halls and common spaces and taking pictures! Ode to Deco: The marble floor in my entry was inspired by an elevator waiting area at 30 Rock; I worked with The Rug Company on a runner that’s literally an adaptation of the carpeting in Radio City Music Hall; and my interior doors have the same Art Deco-influenced, raised panel design. Balancing act: Inspiration is all about knowing when to peel back. Like Coco Chanel famously advised: stand in front of the mirror and remove one item. I’d never want to feel like I’m living in a time capsule (as much as I love wearing a smoking jacket). mussodesigngroup.com

A Vintage Photograph

Unexpected idea: This photo of Sonny Bono and former Mayor Frank Bogert was the first inspiration image we showed our client. We overlaid it with a pink filter to tease out the magical light that happens at sunset in Palm Springs. There’s a rugged romance—a laid-back, masculine mood to it—that sung to us. Desert journey: There’s no front yard or backyard, per se. You enter through a portal in the Ficus, then move through these different sequences that are always changing: a fire pit surrounded by muhly grass, a palo Verde grove, an olive tree dining orchard. It speaks to this notion of traveling on horseback through an ephemeral landscape.

Message received: For this project, we “borrowed” palm trees from the neighbors’ yards—and the San Jacinto mountains peaking above the hedges. At sunset, with the pink grasses in full bloom, the image of the cowboys and the palms—that feeling of a total Palm Springs escape—is really what you’re getting. sdisf.com

The English Country House

Mood board: From the first time I saw the property, the story in my mind was that it was a kooky British grandmother’s house that had been passed down to the next generation. It’s a large, new construction home, but the way the rooms were laid out—the intimacy of scale and the classical millwork— suggested history. Hero piece: I’ve always been drawn to tapestries, and here, they provided a strong “old manor house” through line. We hung a large 18thcentury Flemish tapestry in the living room and wallpapered the dining room in a Scalamandré print for a European country house vibe. Homework: I pinned about a billion pictures. Upton House, a Georgian manor in Gloucestershire that we referenced, has this hall with the most perfect minty green, which inspired the shades of celadon throughout. I love historical colors; tertiary tones are so much more interesting. studiohus.com

High-octane starlet glamour inspired Samantha Todhunter’s interpretation of an Aspen ski retreat.

main photo: oliver clarke. inset: getty.

Modern muse: Our projects often begin with a sensibility imbued by a person, and in this case, Sophia Loren was one of our initial drivers for the mood and design intent; she’s the very embodiment of la dolce vita.

Dramatic details: My clients wanted to transform a pastiche Colorado lodge into a home that was cool, effortless and glamorous; a space that lights up at night for entertaining, but also provides a languishing daytime salon.

A core element to our work is always ‘the mix’ and for this dolce vita-driven project, the mix manifests in interesting combinations of textures and weaves.

Think: mohair velvets and metallic glazed linens, marble and lacquer, and patinated brass elements. Secret sauce: It can be easy to go over the top, especially when you are going for high-impact design. The art is to know when you have done enough to tell the story. A successful room is all about artful layering drawn from travel, books, nature, art, history—and iconic people. samanthatodhunter.com

For a new home in Point Reyes Station, California, architect Dave Sturm channeled a design icon’s purist approach.

Origin story: Our client grew up visiting Mexico and had loved Barragán since childhood. Field work: I was a budding architect when Barragán won the Pritzker Prize, and had been wanting to visit his home for decades. This project prompted my wife and I to spend two weeks in Mexico City. We visited several museums a day, and many Barragán buildings. I immersed myself in his spatial relationships. Good stuff: Barragán had this really limited, yet influential palette; a very high-modern aesthetic. His pink is almost like the national color. Key details: Nothing extraneous; we brought the walls all the way down to the floor—no trim, baseboards or moldings. And we used steel casement-style windows for the cleanest sight lines. Take it back: It’s a reference, not an homage. We were inspired by his simplicity. If Barragán had signed on, I imagine the walls might be pink. butlerarmsden.com

WITH HER LATEST COLLECTION, DESIGNER LORI WEITZNER DELIVERS AN ODE TO CENTRAL PARK. W R I T T E N B Y H E AT H E R C A R N E Y

Imagine wandering through Central Park. Bright pink petals highlight a grid between cobblestones.

Intricate moldings and sandstone carvings come into focus on stair railings. At sunset, the city skyline turns from orange to golden to purple to gray.

It’s this romantic setting that provided designer Lori Weitzner with hope and refuge during the dark days of the pandemic—while also opening her eyes to patterns, textures and colors hidden in plain sight. “It was a lesson in the idea that you’re so familiar with something that you stop looking,” says the designer. “I began to see everything in a whole new way.”

The resulting collection is an ode to Central Park—an exploration of fabrics and wallcoverings that captures the beauty of a city in the midst of rebirth. “I love New York.

It’s what keeps my senses alive. You pass a bakery, then you pass litter on the street. It’s all there,” says Weitzner. “Central Park is an oasis to the urban grit.”

IPhone in hand, the designer would “click, click, click” on weekly rambles through her sanctuary, then return to her quiet Chelsea design studio where she printed and arranged the photos on a large white table. From there, the creative work would begin—editing, sorting, sketching and playing with colors and materials. Chariot, for example, a soft jacquard linen with subtle damask patterning, evolved from an image she snapped of traditional stonework near Bethesda Fountain. “We painted it in the studio, and then, because we didn’t want such a traditional pattern, we took a sponge

Designer Lori Weitzner turned to Central Park as muse for her latest collection of textiles and wallcoverings.

The Mesmerize print, shown here on an armchair, was inspired by a carving at Bethesda Fountain.

and broke it up with texture so it would feel eroded,” explains Weitzner. Illumination, an embroidered textile, stems from sketches of foliage in the Shakespeare Garden, while Mesmerize, a cut velvet print, takes its cues from the fountain’s stone filigree.

With the line complete and her schedule picking up, it might be surprising to hear that the designer still carves out time to walk in the park—but it’s a habit she’s not willing to give up. “The pandemic made me slow down and appreciate the details,” reflects Weitzner. “This collection is about nature, but it’s also about seeing things anew.”

By the 1930s, Eileen Gray was a solidified furniture designer and architect—a rare accomplishment for a woman by early 20th-century standards. Of her many contributions to the modern movement, the Irish-born creative designed the ubiquitous (and replicated) adjustable side table, which she designed specifically for her home dubbed E-1027, shown above, on the French Riviera. Gray set out to build the residence— her first ever—in her late 40s, and it still stands today as a survey of modern design.

In the 1940s, he was hired for the renovation of the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he also fashioned the famous hand-written logo and iconic pink-and-green color scheme. The hotel’s posh Polo Lounge, shown above, has been a buzzing Hollywood hot spot for decades.

PASSION PROJECT MATTHEW QUINN

What a beautifully layered space! This kitchen is an homage to the owner, whose zeal for art, food and life shines through in the design.

When she and her family moved from Mexico to the Atlanta area, they acquired a charming bungalow property and she promptly saved her pennies for 12 years to have her dream “Matthew Quinn” kitchen, as she explained, which was truly the ultimate compliment.

Wow. What did she request? Thinking outside of the box was important to the client. She wanted to make the kitchen uniquely her own, which included covering the walls with art, creating plenty of storage for cookbooks and even adding cork flooring that provides comfort when standing and cooking. But it’s really about this funky mix of colors and materials that works so well together.

Talk to us about the details. The Amazonia Quartzite screamed “bar area.” The boldly colored veining of the stone is paired with an equally striking blue paint on the cabinetry that creates a vibrant, fun moment. In the kitchen, white-glass countertops and high-gloss Macassar Ebony veneer cabinetry balance out the La Cornue range and brass finishes.

Makassar Ebony Veneer Cabinetry, downsviewkitchens.com.

Amazonite Stone, abcworldwidestone.com.

STRATEGIC APPROACH “I fell in love with kitchens because of their technicality—I like to focus on the architectural plan first; I’m a big stickler for rectangular and square rooms.

From there, we address access points, center lines, location of appliances, storage, circulation, ergonomics and functionality. After nearly 30 years in the business, I can immediately pinpoint what needs to be tweaked, but if the kitchen works well, I know I can make it beautiful.” matthew-quinn.com

CALMING INFLUENCE CHRISTOPHER PEACOCK What was the inspiration for this serene palette? A big, beautiful picture window decorates the kitchen, and we didn’t want the rest of the space to compete with that focal point, so there was a conscious effort to keep the colors more earthy and muted. We went with a two-tone paint effect for the cabinetry: a lovely olive or sage green on the island and then a warmer gray on the perimeter.

Walk us through the rest of the design. The scheme was about making it simple and quiet while keeping it spacious. There wasn’t a strong desire to fill the walls with unnecessary cabinetry; rather our focus was on the

materials and finishes. A handmade subway tile with varying shades makes for a beautiful backsplash that provides subtle movement; we avoided anything too shiny and went with brushed and satin nickel hardware.

How did you approach scale? This is a very large kitchen with a barreled ceiling. So we grounded the environment with a large island featuring cutting blocks at both ends and a custom pewter-and-nickel metal hood that anchors one wall. The island table developed into a multifunctional element with storage and seating, as well as a place to work, prepare food and entertain.

TOP TAKEAWAY “The key is to be a good listener, have an inquisitive mind and a holistic or all-encompassing approach. If you watch what happens in most people’s kitchens today, it’s not kitchen related. It’s a gathering space, an entertaining space, a quiet space. Sometimes it’s a retreat or a place to relax—it’s all these things. We have to understand how the kitchen is being used because this room has matured into the most important space in the home. It’s critical to get the design right. Trust the people you’re working with—a kitchen renovation is an everlasting project.” peacockhome.com La Jolla Scone, paulferrante.com.

HERITAGE MOMENT SARAH BLANK

This kitchen is in an older home, right?

It’s an absolutely stunning Spanish Renaissance residence that was built in the early 1900s along the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the kitchen was in bad shape after a recent update, but I was lucky that the client wanted to go back to its historic character. I am a big believer in taking from the past to create the future and spent a lot of time understanding the original aesthetic of this property.

How does your background inform your designs? I love classical architecture and historic structures—I’ve been a part of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for a long time.

Everything I do now, even after all this time, goes back to the aesthetic of old homes and what they teach us.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Sarah Blank Design Studio chose Farrow & Ball’s Stone Blue for the island in this Irvington, New York, kitchen by Taconic Builders. A BlueStar range, Miele oven and custom hood complete the scheme.

EXPERT TIP “Here’s a trick for anyone embarking on a new kitchen project: Do not clean up when the designer comes over to see how you live. If you tidy up before I arrive, how am I going to know what the problems are? I spend a lot of time talking to clients and asking what they want, but what tells me even more is opening all the cabinets and drawers and looking at their inventory and how everything is stored. Once I know what’s behind closed doors, I can design your kitchen! My new book, Classic Kitchens for Modern Living, is certainly a culmination of everything I have learned over the past 40 years!” sarahblankdesignstudio.com

photo: neil landino. book cover: images publishing, march 2022.

Where did you start? Before I did anything, there were several architectural changes that needed to be made, including taking down a wall, reworking a window and altering the ceiling. Then, I began the mission of taking a very narrow kitchen and making it functional. A lot of the elements, such as the metalwork and wood detailing, are inspired by 19th-century European kitchens.

“ A hand-painted, high-gloss cabinetry color was customized around the wallcovering in this Short Hills, New Jersey, project.

We always ask and try to push our clients to do something a little more unexpected in smaller spaces. The outcome was beautiful.”

“The client had an impressive collection of vintage glassware and entertained a lot, so from the very beginning of our conversation we knew the bar would be an important component. The homeowner was drawn to the vibrant color and stone elements.

The resulting happy mix is truly a reflection of her.”

–MATTHEW QUINN

JEAN LIN, COLONY In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, then-design journalist Jean Lin sparked an idea: invite local New York City artists to craft works from debris for storm relief. In the process, Lin grew familiar with the growth and representation struggles faced by independent makers—and the idea for a new, community-driven gallery model was born. Where the industry-standard commission hovers around 50 percent, Colony takes a smaller fraction of each sale, and charges a stabilized monthly co-op fee. Their contract also includes a non-exclusivity clause, which “shows our true intention of putting the bottom line of the designers we rep before our own,” says Lin. Expanding its influence and capital, Colony has since launched an in-house consultancy offering marketing, art direction and interior design services. “The vision moving forward is that these branches of business scale in tandem,” says Lin. “Which goes back to Colony’s founding spirit and genuine belief that all ships rise with the tide.” goodcolony.com

THE CURATOR

THE INNOVATOR

“I don’t love the word ‘disruption,’ but I am passionate about asking the question, ‘how can we make people’s lives easier?’

And I think the answer to that lies in meeting them where they are,” shares Anderson Somerselle. For Somerselle, a veteran of the textiles industry, this passion manifested in a digital-first showroom designed to aggregate boutique lines—as well as their up-to-date stock numbers and samples—in one destination. “It’s an honest response to witnessing how many designers and clients start their inspiration process online,” he notes. With the lower overhead associated with a digital footprint, Somerselle also provides a more affordable representation avenue for smaller brands. “It made sense to bring together these amazing artisans in a virtual showroom first, because there’s more reach,” he explains. “Eventually, we’ll open a physical space, but that will be a totally different experience. I want people to say, ‘Wow! I want to live here.’ ” somerselle.com

THE RECONCEIVERS NOAM DVIR AND DANIEL RAUCHWERGER, BOND

In a past life, Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger worked as critics at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz before falling in love, heading west to earn their masters at Harvard and founding BoND, a holistic architecture and design firm focused on expanding traditional ideologies of home. “In the residential environment, there’s this mold of how a space should be organized—but design for non-nuclear families looks different,” explains Dvir, pointing to the themes of gathering and desire that often distinguish their work. “Design should explore many different identities and lifestyles, and we really wear that on our sleeves.” With a fast-expanding residential practice, the couple has their sights set on more cultural projects in the commercial space. (They recently designed Company Gallery, a leading queer art institution, and are fast at work on a trans-led after-hours nightclub.) “It’s very important to us to work on projects that people will have access to, and that feed us spiritually,” says Rauchwerger, adding, “the real fun comes in sharing.” bureaund.com

ZOE FELDMAN, ZOE FELDMAN DESIGN

“I truly don’t know a lot about sustainability—and that’s kind of the point!” demurs Zoe Feldman. For the Washington, D.C.-based designer, the birth of her daughter in 2018 collided with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s devastating special report on global warming, spurring her to evaluate her own role in the climate crisis. After researching avenues of impact—and

THE ACTIVIST

upon discovering that planting a tree only costs 5 cents— she designed a green pledge as a core pillar of her business. Aptly named Our Beautiful Planet, the framework includes donating her consultation fee to an environmental charity (then matching it upon contract signing), planting 100 trees for every approved design proposal (offsetting its carbon footprint), and a commitment to sourcing 80 percent vintage. Feldman hopes to turn this working template into a movement that designers can adapt to suit their practice. “These are easy things to implement,” she says. “We’re trying to show the industry that we can all take very small, simple steps and potentially, make a massive impact.” zoefeldmandesign.com

THE STORYTELLERS HOMAN RAJAI AND ELENA DENDIBERIA, STUDIO AHEAD

For Homan Rajai and Elena Dendiberia, design is both a global and local affair. What it is not is siloed around Eurocentrism. Meeting as young designers, the pair, with their respective Iranian and Russian roots, felt similarly disconnected from the world of European antiques they were living in, so they built a new framework. Questions like, What philosophies do you relate to? distinguish their client questionnaire, and Rajai and Dendiberia champion a diverse network of vendors working in traditional crafts. “There’s this assumption that—say, Persian rugs—are in the past tense. We’re educating our clients that there are living, breathing, modern-day craftspeople making these pieces,” says Rajai. At the other end of the spectrum, the firm is devoted to amplifying design at a hyper-local scale—and boasts a fast-expanding production wing of collaborations between Northern California artists. “Think of Alice Waters and what she did with farm-to-table,” says Rajai. “We’re bringing the same idea to design.” studioahead.com

THE BOTANIST JESSICA VIOLA, VIOLA GARDENS

A promise to “seek biological over technical solutions” nests at the core of Jessica Viola’s approach to the garden.

Certified in ecological and permaculture design, Viola (one of a handful of licensed female landscape contractors in California) cut her teeth rehabilitating lawns into gardens in the California drought. Those regenerative principles have propelled her business since. Whether sculpting brims in the landscape to better harness rainfall, or planting for erosion control and fire resistance, Viola’s bottom line is embracing the intrinsic characteristics of each property, fostering the age-old relationships between people, flora and fauna amidst a changing climate. In this way, tackling the crisis becomes a creative exercise: “When you’re coming at things from a place of fear, you block what’s possible,” says Viola. “Instead of trying to solve all the world’s problems, I’m facilitating conditions for more awareness—and going one garden at a time.” violagardens.com

“My team and I believe deeply that beauty and art should be the beginning of an interior, not an afterthought.”

BEYOND THE CANVAS What does the future hold? In 2022, Carrie Fell & Company is unfurling even greater interior design offerings that go beyond installed art to include original, specialized products and palettes for designers.

In Colorado’s rich creative community, design styles tend to reflect the unique blend of local identity with broad, timeless aesthetics. Fourth-generation Coloradan and artist Carrie Fell has created a singular fusion of styles in her enthralling paintings and interior designs. “I’m best known for my highly expressionist depictions of western figures,” she explains. “I also gravitate toward a softer, northern coastal style that is tranquil, with textural accents and loose color punctuating neutrals. I blend Colorado’s natural beauty with rich, well-placed color to bring interest and expression to a mixed modern backdrop.” Fell works primarily in large scale, creating both paintings and spaces that feel expansive while adding fine details. “It might be an unexpected bright swipe of color or a simple silver frame,” Fell says. “Your living space should be your refuge, so details matter.”

WONDER OF THE WEST • Share

your Colorado roots.

My great-great-grandparents settled their family on a farm in the foothills of Denver in 1896. I can’t imagine being anywhere else.

•W hat makes Colorado’s creative community special?

I think Colorado’s “gold rush” heritage has created a culture of welcoming everyone and giving artists a space to expand and express themselves.

•H ow do your clients inspire you? By expressing their own styles with my art in unconventional settings.

I love how our collectors see the bold lines and colors as a focal point against a modern backdrop.

“We embrace the challenge of creating beautiful, sustainable and energy-efficient architecture in an extreme environment.”

HONORING YESTERDAY + TOMORROW Collective Design Group’s mission includes incorporating design strategies used by the area’s indigenous peoples, who passively heated spaces using orientation and the angle of the sun and took advantage of overhangs to cool spaces in the warmer months. Levin adds, “While we now supplement natural heat sources with in-floor radiant, the concept is essentially the same as that of the people who were here before us.”

COLLECTIVE DESIGN GROUP: ARCHITECTURE 970.401.6770 | collectivedg.com |

Colorado architecture is at its strongest when it integrates the incredible nature in its own backyard.

Fueled by a passion for the outdoors, principal architect Zane Levin and his team at Collective Design Group know how to tap into the potential of mountain homes. “Regardless of style, our clients are looking for open floor plans, glass walls, intimate outdoor spaces and indoor environments that feel as if they’re part of their natural surroundings,” Levin says. Based in Frisco, CDG is known for outstanding communication and client engagement, and architectural designs that surpass expectations. “We understand where the market is, what things will cost and what’s trending,” Levin says. “We employ experts in many areas—from interior design to construction and estimating—to create an exceptional team that can tackle any type of project.”

“Our signature styles can be described as classic modern, true modern and mountain modern, tailored to our clients’ tastes and lifestyles, and the uniqueness of their homesites,” Levin says. “Currently, a majority of our clients want multipurpose spaces that are seamlessly connected to the natural environment where they can gather with family and friends.”

PEAK PRIORITIES Levin on what Coloradans want most.

• Transparency when it comes to supply chain challenges, lead times and scheduling.

• Durability, quality and innovative materials that stand the test of time.

“We want our clients to be inspired by our work and creativity, and excited to let us design a home that is uniquely theirs.”

MATERIAL WITNESS “I would describe CDG’s design signature as mountain modern with an organic sensibility and a focus on bringing the outdoors in,” Yates shares. “We love to blend natural materials and finishes as well as the colors and tones that we observe in the gorgeous views surrounding us in our projects. Recently, we’ve been embracing neutral palettes with pops of color inspired by the local scenery, which we complement with native materials like wood from the surrounding forests, marble from Marble, Colorado, and granite from Granite, Colorado.

We also work with local craftspeople and artisans and include works by our favorite Colorado photographers and artists in our clients’ homes.

Incorporating colors, textures, patterns and materials from the natural environment and our local communities makes our designs uniquely Colorado.”

What’s better than a talented, full-service interior design team with a Colorado pedigree? One that has an in-house architecture team to assist with remodels and new, ground-up construction projects. With a holistic, expansive view of interior design as their guide, Collective Design Group works with their extensive network of building professionals, artisans and manufacturers to ensure that each client’s experience is seamless and that every detail is considered. Lead designer Lisa Yates, senior designers Nicole Frye, Rachel Obernesser and Catherine Lykins, and their expert team begin each project by establishing strong client relationships based on open communication and trust, which ensures a collaborative and fun design process. This, according to Yates, “Results in an elegant, timeless and functional home that surpasses our clients’ unique wants, needs and lifestyles.”

COLORADO, MY HOME •S etting: CDG is based in Frisco, but services all of Colorado including Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper, Vail, Steamboat, Winter Park, Aspen, Telluride and beyond.

• Style: The current state of Colorado design mixes sleek mountain modern elements with rustic touches that are focused on bringing the grandeur of the outdoors in.

Embracing the organic beauty and majestic grandeur of nature is the key to great Colorado landscape design. With a deep love for the Rocky Mountains as his guide, noted landscape architect Phil Steinhauer and his award-winning team at Designscapes Colorado have been designing, building and maintaining outstanding outdoor environments for nearly 30 years.

“Our unique, hands-on approach to design and construction is paramount to our creative philosophy because it allows our architects and design teams to be fully involved with their projects from the initial consultation to the design phase and implementation,” Steinhauer says.

“Being able to work with our clients throughout the process allows us to create outdoor living spaces that reflect their lifestyles and personalities as we build long-term relationships that carry through to the long-term maintenance and care of their property.”

•S hare a few of your favorite materials. I love working with Colorado materials like native plants and boulders that are quarried from local distributors.

•W hat are your clients’ top priorities today? Landscape design has gone from trees, shrubs and lawns to outdoor rooms where people live and entertain, so uniting the functional and aesthetic aspects of each environment is essential to our process.

“The integrity of a single thread— the fiber, its texture and its sourcing—is intrinsic to the quality of an entire rug.”

DESIGN DOCTRINE Stephanie Holmes shares the ethical ideals that guide the team’s work.

• Community: We support local companies and artisans and foster our international weaving communities and charitable partners.

• Empathy: We use an empathetic approach to connect with clients, understand their situations and provide unparalleled customer service.

• Family: As a family business, we ensure that both employees and clients are valued and supported.

• Inspiration: We are passionate about our work and constantly seek inspiration in nature and human connections, as we seek to inspire through our products.

INTEGRAL THREAD 303.282.4444 | integralthreadstudio.com |

Any interior designer worth their salt knows the power a rug has to define and complete a space by providing warmth, adding depth and becoming a family treasure. The Integral Thread team, who creates and curates custom, handmade, ethically sourced rugs and textiles, are no strangers to this tenet. “Our rugs are works of art,” explains founder and owner Stephanie Holmes. “The keys to our exceptional craftsmanship are in each step of the process, from the perfection of each knot to the selection of colors and the science of yarn dyeing.” Holmes and her two-woman team take inspiration from Colorado’s mountain and desert landscapes, indigenous designs and their world travels, all of which are showcased in Integral Thread’s range of sophisticated styles. “Whether you’re designing a vintage mountain chalet or a modern downtown loft, we have the perfect rug for you,” Holmes adds.

• Integrity: We conduct our business and our lives with integrity and hold our vendors to those same standards.

• Sustainability: Our rugs and textiles are made with natural, sustainable materials. They’re heirloom products that are meant to last.

AWE-INSPIRING ARTISTS

MIRADA FINE ART 303.697.9006 | miradafineart.com |

According to a widely held belief, great contemporary art belongs only in a contemporary space.

At Mirada Fine Art, founder Steve Sonnen and his team are here to dispel that myth and help clients find the perfect pieces for their spaces, whether that be a traditional home, a modern loft or a mountain residence. “Great art looks amazing in any environment,” Sonnen says. “You make the space, so the space shouldn’t condition the art that you love.” Founded in Denver in 2009 with a mission to connect clients with pieces that are the perfect fit for their design sense and lifestyles, Mirada Fine Art is housed in a historic former saloon and dance hall, a space that exemplifies why contemporary art isn’t exclusive to modern aesthetics. Sonnen and his team represent exceptional artists whose works span a variety of contemporary ideals that, as Sonnen says, “are not just beautiful, but livable.”

Mirada Fine Art represents a number of Colorado artists as well as creators from across North America who arouse inspiration, and surprise and delight. “Whether they are local or from far away, our artists represent the spirit of our region,” Sonnen explains.

“Our clients have an amazingly refined sense of design, so we choose art that connects with them and work with artists who expand our horizons.”

SPACE TO THRIVE With Steve Sonnen at the helm, his sister, Jan Thompson, serving as gallery manager, and a staff made up of family and friends, Mirada Fine Art is a community endeavor that allows everyone to indulge in beauty and creativity. “Over the years, many of our clients have become friends,” Sonnen adds. “Hopefully that says a little something about the type of company and people we are.”

COLORADO CONFIDENTIAL “Colorado has evolved since I grew up here, with people from around the world with all sorts of backgrounds converging,” Sonnen says. “That blend of tastes and culture is a big part of what makes Colorado such a special place.”

Achieving outstanding design involves a collaborative spirit, comprehensive skills, and a respect for tradition and innovation. As the founder of Nadia Watts Interior Design and the scion of a noted artistic family, Nadia Watts embodies these ideals. “I am the great-great-granddaughter of Louis Comfort Tiffany and come from a long line of artists whose legacies inspire me,” Watts says. “My ability to maximize space, capture natural light, embrace color and appreciate different periods and styles allows me to deliver home designs that reflect my clients’ needs and surpass their visions.” Watts’ collective approach is another superlative asset. “The true success of my business is based on my relationships,” she shares. “When a client works with me, they benefit from my skills and experience, and the network of local craftspeople and vendors I’ve cultivated over the past 15 years.”

“More and more, my clients are asking where products are made, who is making them and what materials are used,” Watts says. “This allows them to make thoughtful, informed decisions that benefit their homes, the environment and our Denver-based craftspeople and artisans who create amazing, one-of-a-kind pieces based on my clients’ dreams and my designs.”

This spectacular year-round mountain retreat soars above Telluride.

n a house like this, everything is in service to nature and that view, and informed by it as well,” says designer Kimille Taylor of the Telluride abode she and architect Steve Morton, who also happens to be her husband, recently completed for a couple who divide their time between Colorado and Arizona. Together with general contractor Paul Ricks, Taylor and Morton crafted a residence that respects its extraordinary setting and frames mountain vistas from every room. Inside, spaces are airy yet cozy and cater to the owners’ favorite pastimes: painting, woodworking, reading and cooking.

“The clients wanted an exciting plan for a clean, contemporary dwelling with glass walls that open to the outdoors,” notes Morton. Situated on the north side of the valley, it made sense to extend the house wide, like outstretched wings, to take in southerly views and sunshine. The resulting shape “felt like it wanted to take flight,” says the architect, who nicknamed the house “Soaring Eagle.” “The home’s forms mimic a large wingspan and a tail section, and the raised center intersection can be viewed as the head,” he explains. “The perspective and views afforded by the site feel like soaring above the ground below.” Without knowing it, he tapped into a spirit already captured in the couple’s art collection.

Serendipitously, hanging in their Arizona home was a large Rebecca Kinkead painting of a soaring bald eagle. “Needless to say, it’s been relocated to Telluride,” adds Morton.

“The house has low-slung, horizontal lines— it’s bold in its simplicity,” the architect continues.

“I tend to pare down ornamentation and create something more poetic and understated.” Morton is also driven by “a responsibility to respect nature,” and wrapped the home in silvery-hued stone and cedar siding. Adding integrated planters around the structure offered additional thermal benefits, and tufted-grass plantings visually nestle the dwelling into the land. “It treads lightly, and it has a quiet strength,” he says. Because the clients wanted “an edited style,”

Morton worked closely with Taylor to select exterior materials that could continue inside for a cohesive feel. “The result is a soft, warm materiality,” he notes.

“These clients didn’t want to be limited by anything cliché,” says Taylor, who divides her practice between Manhattan and Telluride.

“You see a lot of the same things in the mountain decorating world, so we wanted something fresh.”

For an element of fun, she found a living room coffee table composed of a glass top that rests on cedar “boulders,” some of which are movable. “It brings a bit of wit to the space,” she says. Organic forms also inspired the table Taylor created for the dining room. “It’s sculptural and breaks up the rectilinear forms of that main living area,” the designer explains.

More uncommon pieces were discovered during marathon shopping trips in Manhattan. “They’d come to New York, and I’d take them out from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. We spent many days like that, and it was such fun,” says Taylor. As a result, the home contains pieces from Liaigre and Apparatus mixed with unique finds from local shops. All these pieces exist against a varied palette. “There are probably 15 different colors present—shades of blue, gray, stone, cream, parchment, camel, brown, taupe and a little maroon,” notes the designer. “This complexity is what makes it successful, along with a lot of textural layering.”

To fulfill the couple’s wish list, Taylor and Morton created two primary suites flanking the public areas (one for the clients and one for his daughter) and additional guest rooms downstairs.

They also designed an art studio and a woodshop, as well as a library loft. But it’s the kitchen that anchors the house. “It had to work,” stresses Taylor. “They love to cook, bake and entertain, so we took a long time perfecting the space’s functionality.” An exposed stone wall not only creates continuity with the exterior, but also imbues the space with a sense of age—the kind the designer says you find in old Italian dwellings.

“Everything adds up to their overall quality of life here,” Taylor observes. And when the glass doors open to the fresh air and sunshine—even in winter—the house truly does seem to soar.

A sculptural quality defines the entryway of this Telluride home by architect Steve Morton and designer Kimille Taylor. The rug is from FJ Hakimian and the photograph by Adam Katseff is “one of my favorite pieces in the house,” says Taylor. The spiral staircase leads to the library loft.

The dining area centers the great room. The chandelier above the custom table is by Apparatus. The upholstered dining chairs are by Liaigre and the metal Diamond chair designed by Harry Bertoia is from Knoll. Above the fireplace is a painting by Ed Moses, found at the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art.

In a secondary main suite for the homeowner’s daughter, Taylor paired an RH bed with a CB2 chair and a rug from Azadi Fine Rugs.

IN FASHION Inspired by the owner’s stylish wardrobe, a design team creates a tailored and elegant family home.

WRITTEN BY JENNIFER FERNANDEZ PHOTOGRAPHY BY PETE EKLUND

D

esigners Kristen Thomas and Heather Hill don’t remember when they began affectionately calling their new client “Gwyneth Paltrow,” but it was early on during a remodel to transform her Lakewood home. “She’d show up to meetings in these amazing outfits, so we knew that this was going to be a different kind of project,” says Thomas. The designers quickly realized their client’s sartorial style would serve as a blueprint for their creative decisions.

“Fashion frames my sense of who I am in the world,” says the wife, whose clothing preferences for clean lines and tailored elegance translated to her vision for the dwelling she and her husband had recently purchased. “It’s important for me to feel grounded, and what I’m wearing gives me a sense of calm and comfort,” she notes. “I wanted my house to do the same.”

The only problem: The residence was constructed in a style Thomas describes as “faux Tuscan” with all the usual hallmarks the phrase conjures (think heavy wood beams), as well as a few quirky features, namely elaborate leaded-glass windows and a bell tower referencing a traditional Italian campanile. Still, the architectural bones—including a vaulted ceiling in the dining room and a soaring interior courtyard—were solid. “The home has a great layout and beautiful flow,” adds Thomas. “We could look past the heavy stone and dark finishes and see what the house could be.”

While the homeowners tasked the designers and general contractor Jon Ingalls with brightening the space, elevating the materials and recasting the stone exterior in an understated stucco, they also wanted to preserve some of the architectural details, including the mosaic-tiled entry and an accordion-style window in the living room that overlooks distant red-rock mountains. They even kept one of the original leaded-glass windows in the main bathroom. “None of us wanted it to look like a just-built house,” says Thomas. “We played off the character that was in place.”

LUXESOURCE.COM

One of the existing features proved to be an obstacle in achieving the elegant, but comfortable feel the design team sought.

The original walls were texturized with bits of hay mixed in the plaster, so they had to be painstakingly scraped and smoothed. The setback turned out to be beneficial though as it allowed the designers to go deep on the customization of the house, from coating the walls in the perfect shade of white (Sherwin-Williams’ Creamy) to dry-laying marble tiles in the main bath to dictate the pattern of veining.

At times, the designers felt a bit like stylists curating a star’s ensemble. “Every fabric, every silhouette, every finish was carefully selected,” says Thomas. “Like a tailored outfit, every detail complements one another.” Of those details, color may be the most important. “The hues are very soft, very organic,” says Hill. “There are lots of blush and blue tones—it keeps the spaces from feeling too neutral.” Noting the role texture plays in the natural stone and the upholstered pieces, Thomas adds, “Even though we had an edited color palette, it looks rich because we chose so many beautiful textures.”

The wife is known for dressing with an eye to minutiae. The designers used the same approach for the interiors, with a focus on small details like the brass claw feet on a bench, the contrast welting on a throw pillow or the size of the matting around framed photographs. “There are so many little things that most people wouldn’t consciously notice, but they add up to beautiful effect,” says Hill. “This house is the opposite of cookie-cutter—it’s unique and impeccable.”

But make no mistake, while the home reflects the wife’s polished style, it’s also a place where the family can let loose. “I wanted it to feel restful, welcoming and comfortable,” says the wife, who, along with her husband and 12-year-old daughter, stages what they call “Friday Pizza Night.” “We have the music going while we cook, and we make a big old mess in the kitchen,” she explains.

“There’s a lot of flour everywhere, but that’s how we like it.” Adds Thomas, “This house feels so good now; you can feel the happiness and love—what could be more fashionable?”

In the tiled entry, an olive tree in an antique urn is the only nod to this Lakewood home’s previous Tuscan-villa style. Designers Kristen Thomas and Heather Hill found the antique mirrors at Eron Johnson Antiques. Above are Visual Comfort pendants, and the bench is by Interlude Home.

Above: A Holly Hunt stool upholstered in a Great Plains mohair and a specially commissioned painting echo the subtle blues that dominate the main bedroom, which lies just beyond this passageway.

Opposite: “We wanted to treat the home like it was in Santa Barbara,” says Thomas, referencing the largely neutral color palette. In the living room, a sofa by Patricia Edwards, armchairs by Hickory Home and Kisabeth Furniture, and a custom leather ottoman fit into the quiet color scheme. The light fixture is by Visual Comfort.

BREAKING THE RULES A Denver painter challenges herself by rebelling against color theory.

ola Montejo is a self-described color theory nerd, but don’t expect her to strictly follow its tenets. “There’s a little rebelliousness when I hear all these ‘rules,’ ” she notes. “All I can think is, ‘what if ?’ ” As a result, she is prone to striking and unusual color combinations, such as aquamarine paired with black, shades of gray and spots of chartreuse, or denim blues mixed with peachy orange, chocolate brown and a touch of mint green. All are rendered in broad brushstrokes across canvases—some as tall as the artist—with each shade given equal vibrancy and distinction.

The rebellious streak started during Montejo’s senior year of college at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Until that point, she painted realistically, but for her thesis she decided to explore abstraction, something she continues to do today. Montejo describes her process as “intuitive,” drawing on emotions and memories—from a recent walk in the woods to her youth spent in the Mediterranean—to inform the shapes and colors she uses. Her pieces reflect “the way I feel living each day,” she says.

While nearly every work begins with an idea for a color scheme, Montejo is careful not to do the same thing every time she approaches a canvas. “I try to break my habits or sabotage my work in early stages to create something spontaneous,” she explains. “If I find I’m creating a shape that I like too much, I might spill paint over it to get me to stop looking at it and break the preciousness of that form.”

For Montejo, whose art is guided by emotion, the pandemic fueled an entirely new body of work. The anguish of the early days could have easily consumed her, but instead, she looked to the future. “I thought, ‘How do we move forward as a society? How are we going to take the steps and find the courage to keep going and get past this?’ ” she says.

The artist turned those concepts into a series of monotypes during a residency at Oehme Graphics in Steamboat Springs this summer.

Montejo typically works in oil on canvas, but she translated her process into printmaking by using torn pieces of paper as stencils. The resulting collage-like works compose her “Hereafter” series and are imbued with a lively palette drawn from nature: sky blue, iris purple, bark brown and streaks of sunny yellow. It’s a palette evocative of the hope felt after emerging from the darkness and finding the way forward.

Artist Lola Montejo mixes paints in her Denver studio (previous page, left). Studies on paper provide inspiration for future paintings (previous page, right). Her work space is filled with her artworks and tools (opposite). The artist (left) says her work is guided by emotions and memories, and she taps both as inspiration for her abstract paintings in striking color combinations (bottom).

The Quiet Type When remodeling a home on a bucolic Greenwood Village property, the owners let a sense of place lead the way.

T

hirteen years is a long time to live in a house you’d like to alter, but for the couple who call this dwelling in the quiet enclave of Greenwood Village home, it took a while to get clear about what they most desired. That turned out to be big views of their half-acre property, which is bordered by a picturesque canal and walking trail, and a humble spirit, to be expressed by the structure’s scale and materiality. “We didn’t want an overwhelming house,” the wife says. “We wanted it to feel approachable, welcoming and light-filled.”

Designing a new home for the 1970s-era neighborhood where few of the original houses have been replaced required a sensitive touch, which residential designer John Mattingly achieved by borrowing a technique from the past. “Historically, humble rural European buildings were made from brick that’s very porous and sandy,” he says. “If you couldn’t afford to completely seal it with plaster, you’d just go over it with a light coat of mortar. Today, people love that smeared-mortar look, and a sense of history is what roots this house on the site.”

The understated façade captures the easygoing Napa Valley aesthetic the homeowners requested from the start. “Napa is an agricultural region, not a neighborhood,” Mattingly says. “When someone tells me ‘Napa,’ what they’re asking for is a structure that would feel at home on a working farm.” Accordingly, “our emphasis was on natural-looking materials that are going to wear with the house,” says general contractor Mike McNeill. The sweeping rooflines and textured brick walls are punctuated by iconic expressions of the agrarian vernacular, including sections of standing-seam metal roof and window frames patterned and painted to mimic the look of hot-rolled steel. These include a series of clerestory windows that frame views of the water and a border of perennials and ornamental grasses designed by landscape architect Jeromy Montano. The feature begins at the front entry and continues through the voluminous foyer and living room, culminating above an operable window wall at the back of the house.

The same brick used on the exterior forms an interior wall that runs along one side of the kitchen. “It feels like someone naturally put the kitchen up against an aged brick wall,” Mattingly says. “There was no need for tile or anything fancy there. The painted brick acts as the backsplash.”

Against such rustic details, the design team juxtaposed clean white walls. “You’ll notice there isn’t trim carpentry around every opening,” McNeill notes of the unadorned expanses.

Those simple backdrops set off an eclectic mix of furnishings: inherited antiques, treasures picked up over years of vintage shopping and new additions from designer Bri Rutledge. “The clients were fun to work with because they’ve lived all over the world,” she says. “The wife and I both have roots in California, and we share a love of earthy, lived-in colors and textures associated with that state. But she also grew up in Europe and collected a lot of pieces there that we could layer into our design.” In the living room, a rustic antique bench stands in for a console table behind a new sofa. A hefty antique bookcase the homeowners had craned out of their previous home presides over the paneled den. In the dining area, a new beaded chandelier provides a breezy counterpoint to the vintage table’s mirrored top banded in copper, which sits atop a suede base.

Occasionally, these rich textures give way to vibrant color. In the foyer, a vintage painting’s swaths of green and blue draw the eye up from the checkerboard-patterned limestone floor. Blue-black cabinets add polish to the kitchen’s warm, white oak tones. The powder room’s Caribbean-blue zellige tiles complement the unlacquered brass hardware— the latter a must for the design team. “If we’re going to go brass, we lean toward unlacquered because it ages with the house,” Rutledge explains. “We like to use real, raw materials that are going to tell the story of the home.”

But the audience for that story, the wife reports, is larger than expected. “People stop by to ask questions about this place,” she says. “It catches the eye and people want to take it in. It has an interesting quality that you can’t put your finger on.” This arresting but hard-to-categorize feeling is something even 13 years of dreaming couldn’t have conjured. “It seems,” the wife notes, “that this house has created its own little bit of magic.”

The main entry of this Greenwood Village abode provides a view through the house via a series of clerestory windows. On the floors, the design team at Chalet arranged brushed pewter and white antico limestone tiles from Materials Marketing in a checkerboard pattern.

Atop them rests a textured concrete console by RH and an antique coal scuttle. The Desmond Cage Lantern is by Visual Comfort.

Subdued neutral furnishings— including RH’s Maxwell sofa, Currey & Company’s Saxon Black chandelier and an antique English farm bench—ensure the living room’s focal point is the view through the massive bifold doors. Walls painted Benjamin Moore’s Seapearl provide a quiet backdrop to artworks by Carlos Martín, Sean Kratzert and Denver artist Madeleine O’Connell.

n expansion to a second office (the first in Chicago and the new one in Colorado); the distinction of being named one of Chicago’s Coolest Offices by Crain’s Chicago Business; Luxe Interiors + Design Gold List status in 2019, 2020 and 2022; 10 ASID Design Excellence Awards; inclusion in The Definitive Guide to the World’s Top 100 Designers by Andrew Martin Interior Design Review … all this in the past few years proves that Donna Mondi Interior Design is on a roll. In fact, that may be an understatement. Asked to describe the look that has clearly captivated the minds of many, Donna Mondi points to a few elements. “My sweet spot lies

somewhere between classicism and modernity, with unexpected edginess,” she says. “I adore historical architecture and vintage buildings as much as I love modern steel and glass … we do everything in between!” Of course, where they land on the spectrum is informed by the client’s wants, needs and preferences. But no matter the aesthetic mandate, Mondi and team are known for incorporating surprising design moments and creating cohesive spatial connections. They also adhere to one overarching belief: “Staying ahead of trends, being aware of history and recognizing passing fads are the keys to delivering interiors that will stand the test of time.”

ASK THE EXPERT What type of project would you love to take on?

I feel like we have dream projects happening right now! That said, I always have my sights set on the future. Wouldn’t it be fun to design a funky Palm Beach estate or a Renaissance Revival apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

What’s next for your firm?

We are about to launch a collection with renowned stone purveyor Materials Marketing. It will have avant-garde fireplaces, indoor-outdoor furniture and sculptural accessories, all carved from marble or limestone and inspired by Chicago architecture, Art Deco details and some 1980s retro vibes. It will be released early in 2022, and I could not be more excited!
