LETTER EDITOR’S

All Your Own Of the many design evolutions the past year has wrought, one of the most striking has been that our homes are becoming more finely tuned to what we desire. The interiors we inhabit are less showpiece and more a statement about personal expression. Honestly, after 2020, does anyone care anymore about impressing the neighbors? As priorities shift, our homes are designed with greater intention and with individual style emerging. In this issue, we turn to several creatives to hear how their flair manifests. This issue also celebrates our GOLD LIST: design professionals from across the country whose projects graced our pages the past year. We greatly admire the taste and talent they bring to their work. As for me, I’m a creative at heart who relishes nesting at home.

I’ve been on-again/off-again painting my fireplace wall. I didn’t think too long and hard about the pattern...or about the effort! Rather, it’s a moment that sparks joy. As we head into this new year, I wish you much happiness in your own home.

MATERIAL WORLD PHOLIO CO

After working in sales in the Dallas design industry for more than a decade, Jessica Craig Pinzon channeled that experience into creating Pholio Co, a boutique rep and product consulting agency with a studio space where her interior designer clients can visit and interact with the brands she represents. With studio director Emily McNeal by her side, the industry maven dishes on her latest endeavor. pholioco.com

SETTING THE SCENE

Describe what your company does. We connect interior designers with creative resources and hands-on service. Our studio is a great place to gather inspiration, but we focus on learning the clients’ needs and delivering the right products to fill their gaps.

We hand-deliver samples the same day and respond via text, email or phone to pricing inquiries in a flash. We want the designers to feel we are an extension of their firm.

What inspired Pholio Co? I’ve pioneered multiple lines, set up showrooms and managed other showrooms, and I knew what I wanted to accomplish and where I could fit into the market. It was a natural next step.

Tell us about the type of products you showcase. We carry textiles, wallcoverings, rugs, tile, outdoor furniture and much more, from brands such as Brentano, Greige Textiles, Iona Crawford, Kinnasand and Larette Design, just to name a few.

What are your main goals? We don’t want to be encumbered by a showroom’s upkeep and changeover, so we use displays similar to the European style that can be easily rotated and recycled as the market warrants. We’re part sample room, part resource library, part workspace and part showroom.

Picnicking has reached stellar new heights thanks to Popovers + Peonies, a full-service Dallas picnic company helmed by Paulina Szczsponik with co-founders Alyssa Jones and Andrea Comeau. Not only perfectly timed for socially distanced outdoor celebrations, it’s also sure to help revive the beloved pastime for years to come. “We thought this would be a great way to embrace nostalgia with a little flair in the safety of our own homes or local parks,” says Szczsponik. While no Popovers + Peonies picnic is the same, the basic package includes set-up and clean-up, a table, linens, tableware and more—with add-ons like elevated florals, umbrellas, games and even menu or meal packages available as well. Also in the offing are experiences ranging from a wine-tasting to a high tea to a boozy brunch complete with breakfast tacos, a donut board, a fruit platter and a mimosa carafe. popovers-peonies.myshopify.com

Deep family roots in the textile industry provided Rana Argenio with a wellspring of knowledge and inspiration when founding Houston luxury Italian linen brand 10 Grove. “Given my background, I wanted to create an honest resource that translates complicated industry specifics into a selection of products that are accessible, understandable and genuinely loved by the consumer,” she says. Argenio sat down with Luxe to discuss her lust-worthy offerings and share what’s in store. 10grove.com

Co-owners Sally Cardwell and Julie Boxberger and their showroom manager Andy Cardwell are the impressive trio behind A Custom House in Austin, which serves as a creative hub catering to designers and retail customers alike. At the forefront is a studio offering antique furniture and accessories, custom upholstery and pillows, lamps and lighting, mirrors, art and accessories presented in a showroom setting. Beyond that, design services include furniture and art selection, layouts and installation, as well as wallpaper, paint and custom upholstery. “We love layering textures and strive for a collected feel with an eye toward proper scale and proportion,” says Cardwell. “We like surprises—but our ultimate goal is for a space to feel comfortable, inviting and serene.” Look for an e-commerce site scheduled to launch in the coming year. acustomhouse.com

CENTRAL MACHINE WORKS BEER HALL

SCENE

DESIGN

A metalworks and machining shop built in the 1940s in East Austin has been masterfully reincarnated as the welcoming and spacious Central Machine Works Beer Hall with the help of Kartwheel Studio, Maker Architects and IE2 Construction.

“Our goal was to maintain an authentic environment while creating a warm, inviting establishment where all are welcome,” says David Clark of Kartwheel Studio, who was tasked with overseeing the interior design and custom fabrication. To achieve this, prominent elements throughout include found and vintage furnishings, dimmer switches and authentic raw materials such as burned pine, troweled concrete, raw steel and slate— not to mention an upholstered banquette made using centuryold pine found in the space and an original lathe left behind from the previous owner. “We as humans base our existence on our experiences in the world,” says Clark, “so offering one that is warm, inviting and all-inclusive was of the utmost importance to us.” cmwbrewery.com

SET IN STONE WHAT’S NEW FROM NEOLITH

New year, new Neolith: The brand that put sintered stone on the global map has launched its Six-S range of surfaces, inspired by the natural world and the battle against COVID-19. Designed to be solidary, sanitary, strong, stylish, sensory and sustainable, there’s one “s” that wasn’t a part of the Six-S range: sacrifice. All six offerings are every bit as luxurious, prepossessing and meticulously finished as traditional Neolith products.

The Six-S range comprises Himalaya Crystal, an homage to the Himalayan salt crystal landscapes; Abu Dhabi White, inspired by the UAE capital’s Sheikh Zayed Mosque; Amazonico (right), which calls to mind the ascension from the darkness of the rainforest floor to the lighter tones of tree canopies overhead; Winter Dala, nodding to the pines that encircle Sweden’s Lake Siljan; Summer Dala, mimicking the texture of freshly cut timber, and Layla, inspired by One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. And it’s not just environmental consciousness that Neolith is staying in step with—the company also has a new digital platform, Neolith Virtual Experience, which brings more than 50 colors and finishes straight from the showroom to the customer’s home. neolith.com

The new Moda Domus tabletop line includes a full collection of Fiorito ceramic ware, doublerimmed scalloped linens, Murano glassware and candlesticks.

When Lauren Santo Domingo founded the online luxury retailer Moda Operandi in 2010, it was clothes and shoes—not place mats and flatware—that got her pulse racing. Fast forward to today, and Santo Domingo, a passionate connoisseur of beautiful china, glassware and table linens, has come to embrace her decidedly more “domestic side.” The fashion executive recently debuted Moda Domus, a tabletop collection for Moda Operandi that reflects a love of relaxed yet elegant entertaining. Luxe caught up with the stylish entrepreneur sheltering at home with her family in Southampton.

What’s your new normal like these days? In the city, I used to love going out for coffee before heading to the office.

Now, I make my own coffee and sip it wandering in my garden, often in my slippers. I haven’t worn heels in nine months. I bought my first sweatsuits, one from Cotton Citizen and a cashmere one from Madeleine Thompson. Though I can’t help but think of what Karl Lagerfeld said about how wearing sweatpants was like giving up on life!

Ha! Although, it looks like you’ve found a creative outlet in flower arranging.

Completely. I’ve gotten really into growing

LUXESOURCE.COM

flowers and floristry. I used to measure my seasons through fashion, and now I’m marking time based on what flowers are coming in, whether it’s hellebores or lily of the valley or sweet peas. I’ve been buying antique vases and vessels from auction sites.

So, how did you develop your interest in tabletop? It actually started with the business. As Moda grew internationally, we began having special dinners for designers and top clients. We put a lot of effort into our tables and decor, and the response was amazing. The next day people would be asking me, “Where can I get this?” I also enjoyed the creativity. Designing the tables felt much more satisfying than simply putting on something to wear.

Describe the inspiration. I love heritage pieces that feel like something passed down or collected. I would say I’m very inspired by my mother in law, who is very elegant and entertains beautifully. She and her friends have incredible collections of porcelain and silver from a range of makers and countries.

Does that sentiment show up in the Fiorito ceramics? Yes, it’s a pattern I saw at auction based on an 18th-century

Italian design. We found the original manufacturers and asked them to remake the pattern for us in pieces our clients would use today. Each piece is handpainted in Emilia-Romagna.

Tell us about the Murano glassware.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Venice collecting vintage Murano glass. The wine glasses with the swirled stem are based on an antique set I own from the turn of the century. The original glasses are smaller, almost the size of cordial glasses; we’ve updated them to modern scale.

How do you envision the collection being used? Everybody has the gilt china and fabulous wine glasses they got as wedding gifts. But how often do they ever use them? This is much more casual— the way I like to entertain. It’s perfect for a lunch or casual dinner. I don’t use finger bowls or have butlers behind every chair, so why would I want an ornate and formal table setting?

Let’s say you’ve arranged your table in the country with Moda Domus settings.

What are your guests wearing? Hmmm.

I could see them wearing a great knit sweater, a perfectly tailored trouser and a small heel. Casual but sophisticated.

Alessandra Branca walks us through her Chicago atelier, where one room is covered in her new Audrey wallpaper in Cerise & Loden and the sofa is upholstered in Garda Mohair in Mushroom.

“I happen to love pattern play,” remarks the designer.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Get Alessandra Branca talking about color and the pace becomes waltz-like, her voice honeyed. As she walks me through the luscious palettes of Into the Woods, the second collection from her eponymous home brand, Casa Branca, I decide to abandon my interview prompts and just enjoy.

We begin in a sea of mossy green swatches, a colorway she describes as “a play on the classics but updated with pops of acid.” Next, we’re onto pairings of powder blue and chocolate brown.

“I love ying-yang, male-female coloring,” she exclaims. “We never see enough of this combination, and it’s so chic and wonderful!” And finally, we move into reds, a signature hue of the designer’s.

“It’s fun; it’s pop; it’s cool,” she muses, adding, “Red keeps you coming back.”

As with Branca’s first collection, the designs—which span fabric, wallpaper and a growing breadth of home furnishings and accessories—are meant to be mixed and matched, interwoven with future collections and shopped by color story. They’re also deeply influenced by travel. This round, the designer drew inspiration from a fantasy brief particularly well-suited to the times.

“I love Italy’s Sudtirol, and I’ve been wanting to do an old Tyrolean-style, A-frame mountain house in a fresh way,” she says. “The question of ‘What can I do to update that lifestyle?’ is really what this collection is about.”

Such pointed wanderlust resulted in patterns like Verdure Camo, a riff on the popular 17th-century hunting tapestries that Branca reimagined and spunked up by fusing traditional motifs with camouflage, and Audrey, a 19th-century archive print reimagined with bulbous blooms of exaggerated scale and named after Little Shop of Horrors’ leading character. Rounding out the collection, a medley of Branca takes on faux bois, tartan, stripes and peacock marble, as well as solids in teddy-like mohair, creamy cotton velvet and stalwart linen, create a cocooning ethos that does seem to tap into some primordial, back-to-thewoods version of luxury.

Casa Branca’s Into the Woods debut includes (left, from top) Audrey in Bolzano, Umbra in Bolzano and Giordano Camo performance fabric in Bolzano. The collection’s earthy palette, shown on the mood board above, was inspired by the northern Italian city of Bolzano.

Fortunately, the still repose of the past year didn’t hinder the designer—who describes a perfect Saturday as one spent amidst a stack of books—from developing the second installment of Casa Branca (available now) in the throes of the pandemic, not to mention, successfully launching the brand

last June. “I didn’t have to go far,” she says.

“I literally walked around my life. That’s where this all came from.”

Inspiration begetting inspiration, I begin researching the Italian part of Tyrol I knew little about before meeting Branca—and aching to redecorate.

Reflecting on my personal aesthetic begins with memories of my mom’s colorful outfits and red lipstick. I grew up in a world of color and pattern—French, African and Far East Asian influences. At home, there were art and sculptures, such as the pair of elegant felines that live in my living room today. There were textiles, like the chinoiserie print with golden threads on the formal living room sofa. I remember the effortless mix—not expensive or formal, but unique and just right. Growing up in New Orleans, you learn being different can be a badge of honor.

I am unabashedly a girly-girl. My mom used to dress me in ruffles, pinafores, lace socks and shiny patent leather shoes. With my Coke-bottle glasses, you can imagine it was quite a sight. After my time in college known as the “sweatpants era” and a start in finance I classify as the “how boring can this suit be” period, I began a return to my true innate spirit. Fashion and decor were the ways to express my creativity within the confines of my gray pinstripesuit world. Perhaps the white Phillip Lim dress with the 3D flowers, high-heel patent leather Mary Janes and black tights weren’t exactly office attire, but I didn’t let that stop me from strutting down the halls and turning a few heads.

My passion for the decorative arts and design shone through my home decor during that formative time. I had eight apartments in 15 years just to redecorate.

Crazy, but so much fun! I played—a Hershey’s chocolate dining room in my Midtown place, peacock blue-painted walls and ceiling in the Uptown bedroom, and even the perfect white in my highrise bachelorette pad. I spent years experimenting on myself—a big reason why I am unafraid to be bold in my work today.

Billy Ceglia in the sitting room of his client’s home in Armonk, New York.

Billy Ceglia True inherent style is an unerring and unapologetic point of view that can be translated into every aspect of an individual’s life. It informs everything the possessor does and has—from the way they answer the phone, welcome you into their home, dress, and of course, decorate their living spaces. In my own homes, I try to create a sense of ease and comfort to welcome guests—adopting small details like leaving the door unlocked and arranging empty hangers in the coat closet for their garments. I have a “help yourself ” attitude when it comes to refreshments or anything in my home.

If you need it, it’s yours for the taking.

Since I adhere to such a tight design lexicon of simple materials and shapes, and a relatively limited color palette, it has jokingly been said that my favorite color is “plain”—and I happily own that. While I appreciate the ornate and complex, my personal preference always circles back to a level of simplicity with a touch of the unexpected or tongue-in-cheek. It could be a few books with funny titles, such as Avery Monsen’s All My Friends Are Dead (a particular favorite), or a subtly subversive piece of art in an otherwise sober room.

These same details are also a part of my wardrobe. What appears to be a classic menswear pattern could be made up of thousands of cartoon mice, or the lining of a jacket could be painted with illustrations from Albert Lamorisse’s The Red Balloon, with a secret message under the collar to “follow me.” Similar to my streamlined fashion choices, my interiors are filled with simple and practical fabrics, tailored furniture and timeless details that reflect an enduring point of view. This leaves room for my personality, which is neither “plain” nor uncomplicated!

It never occurred to me that my box of a city condo would become a homey shrine to my collection of eccentric things.

A decade ago, I was in my early 20s, flailing in the aftermath of the recession and searching for a place to buy when my mom sold my childhood home. The panging feeling of my foundation being uprooted while simultaneously my family having no home of our own stuck with me. I think it’s why, despite my dreams of moving into an iconic San Francisco Victorian, I remain in my developer-built flat. As a result, a big part of how my style manifests is working within limitations.

I like testing and pushing boundaries to see how many colors and patterns a room can handle before it feels uncomfortable.

When I allowed myself to use my home as a canvas for experimentation, a new part of my creative brain unlocked. I found a 19th-century French sideboard to use as a bar and installed modern built-ins around it marrying my home’s modern lines with my love of antiquity. With decorative artist Caroline Lizarraga, I created a “conspicuous camouflage” mural on the walls with gilded brush lines. Then I had the idea for cartoonish tapestry-inspired blobby drapes and collaborated with artist Isa Beniston to bring funny dragons and lions to life in my windows.

A defining moment early in my career was when I read that one of the ottoman seats in a room designed by Ken Fulk on a magazine cover was sourced from Costco.

I thought, “His projects have budgets I can barely imagine, but he chose to leave that piece in!” It reaffirmed my principles: Keep what you love, work with things that don’t need replacement, put nothing on a pedestal and check your humility.

I’ll never forget the excitement when a bag of hand-me-downs from Wendy, a family friend, would appear on our kitchen table. On one occasion, the bag contained a powder pink tracksuit, the kind popular in the ’80s, and a far departure from the smocked Laura Ashley or appliqued Florence Eiseman dresses I normally donned for a special event. Ready for my best friend’s birthday party, I descended our staircase channeling my inner Wendy in the ensemble—my mousy brown hair newly coiffed with bangs and big glasses.

Cloaked in the confidence of looking and feeling great, in my mind, I had arrived.

Growing up in Lake Forest, Illinois, where architect David Adler was the patron saint and understated elegance reigned supreme, I was raised to appreciate the relaxed formality of my parents, my grandmother and their friends. While their homes were beautifully decorated, if you looked hard enough you would find an element of humor and whimsy. From miniature model rooms tucked within a library bookshelf and ladybug wallpaper adorning a formal powder room to miles of chintz covering windows and chairs, these houses reflected the confident ease of lives well lived and taught me to appreciate patina over polish.

Real style does not seek the approval of others. It is the creative expression of those who possess it and have the confidence and joie de vivre to pull it off. Looking at photos from that birthday party where I’m wearing the powder pink tracksuit, I confess, I now prefer the pretty dresses my friends wore, though I am grateful for the encouragement from my parents to explore my own tastes. It is more than OK to stand out in a crowd.

Gestural Meaning Carmen Neely’s artwork is not just a purely aesthetic object. Personal experiences, including being female, Black and American, all inform her work. Behind every brushstroke and color choice is intention and intuition, which stem directly from those experiences. Emotions of heartbreak (the impetus for the work shown above), disappointment, optimism, anger and joy are all equally important tools she employs in her work, as are the oil paints and physical ephemera that adorn her canvases.

Verdant Variety WITH GROWTH AND HARMONY TOP OF MIND, RICH MOSSY HUES BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO KITCHEN AND BATH SPACES. W R I T T E N A N D P R O D U C E D BY K AT H R Y N G I V E N

Color packs a punch—especially in kitchens and baths, where a little fresh thinking goes a long way. Today’s au courant designs lean toward one lush hue: green. While associated with nature, the tone also evokes feelings of abundance, serenity, peace and security—all elements we could use right now (and always) in our homes. For designer Raili Clasen, a saturated forest-like shade served as a reference to the past when updating this kitchen in a historic California residence. “It’s an old-world color that seemed right at home in a new build,” says Clasen.

Raili Clasen chose Benjamin Moore’s Hunter Green for the cabinetry in this Coronado, California, kitchen she designed with architect Eric Olsen. Buster + Punch hardware and a Regulator faucet by Waterworks provide pretty brass accents while Community Manufacturing stools offer plush and stylish seating.

BATH + KITCHEN LIVING

PAST & PRESENT RAILI CLASEN

Coronado, the beautiful stretch of land off San Diego, has a storied history as both a resort town to the stars as well as an aviation and naval hub since the early 20 th century.

So, when Raili Clasen’s clients asked her to renovate a dilapidated 1927 Dutch Farmhouse on the island that had once belonged to a Navy sea captain, she knew she wanted the design to nod to the home’s traditional roots. railicadesign.com How did you decide on that shade of green for the kitchen cabinetry? As with any vintage home renovation, I feel I have a responsibility to not turn the house into something it isn’t. For me, that means updating the space without it being modern.

In terms of paint, I also wanted something somewhat unexpected and this green looked as though it could have been original to the residence—an ‘old’ color that worked wonderfully in the kitchen.

Talk to us about the other materials you incorporated. We brought in reclaimed wood for the ceiling, which added a richness to the room while the waterfall marble island provided a light and bright element. Brass accents including the hardware, faucet and backsplash are really a reference to nautical tools and instruments, but they look so lovely with the green cabinetry.

In the dining area, Oscar pendants by Roman and Williams suspend above a Nickey Kehoe table surrounded by both Sawkille Co. and Nickey Kehoe seating.

Where is this dining space located? The kitchen, dining room and living room are actually part of one large area. I still love the open floor plan! Whenever I can, I try to bring nature inside, and the large planters under the windows have brass details that tie everything together. Things need friends, so the greenery here also references the paint used in the kitchen.

PRO TAKE MICK DE GIULIO

Mick De Giulio worked with Michael Abraham Architecture and designer Michael del Piero to create this sleek kitchen in Roselle, Illinois. The Juxtapose Semi-Professional Faucet in Matte Black by Mick De Giulio for Kallista features a pull-down spray head and Boost technology that increases water flow (shown here with Soap Dispenser).

LUXESOURCE.COM

For an elegant yet hardworking kitchen, look no further than Mick De Giulio, who has crafted award-winning spaces for more than 45 years and can teach us a thing or two about form and function. For his latest collaboration with Kallista, the designer kept technology and aesthetics top of mind when creating the Juxtapose collection, which includes a professional kitchen faucet with advanced cleaning features like Sweep spray and Boost. De Giulio focused on streamlined proportions and elegant aesthetics that fold a faucet into a room rather than make it a focal point. Take this Roselle, Illinois, project—a master class in mixed materials and refined touches. Various applications of stainless steel on the hood, countertops and hardware add a richness and reflection, while the iceberg quartzite backsplash keeps the mood light and airy. degiuliodesign.com; kallista.com

NATURAL INSTINCT CAITLIN MURRAY

“The most important principle in design for me is creating a space that you feel good living in every day,” says Caitlin Murray of Black Lacquer Design. But sometimes that idea can be interpreted in very different ways. Take, for example, this Redondo Beach, California, home, where Murray’s husband-and-wife clients had varying desires: One favored Hollywood Regency style and pattern while the other preferred a clean, tonal aesthetic. Eventually they landed on a fun, playful vibe in the powder room space, which Murray transformed into a jewel box of color and charm. No doubt, a win-win! blacklacquerdesign.com Where did you start? Everything was designed around the wallpaper. The clients travel to China and have a business there, so it was important to include something that referenced this connection. The Timorous Beasties wallcovering has such pretty patterning and motifs, which felt like the right fit to the homeowners. I’m always pushing for color, so I was thrilled it worked out!

The blue-and-green palette with pops of red works so well here. I think of greens and blues as reading neutral, so I’m usually able to convince clients to go for these colors.

Besides, who doesn’t want to be surrounded by tones found in nature?

Speaking of color, how do approach it within your designs? I like to mentally establish a palette in my head, because I think that if you don’t stay within certain constraints, the scheme can feel all over the place and disconnected. Here, I used the wallpaper as a road map for the other elements in the bathroom, including the Vola red faucet.

“We wanted to create something that would differentiate itself from the sea of gray vanities out there,” explains head designer Mario Muto of his company, Bemma, which he cofounded with Wetstyle owner Mark Wolinsky. Bemma offers an assortment of bathroom vanities and accessories in several colors and styles that goes beyond the expected, such as the handsome Terra collection (shown). It features a fluted walnut façade, marble or granite countertop, and satin brass base (also available in brushed nickel or matte black). Distinct, indeed. bemmadesign.com

It’s all in the details, and hardware is no exception! Enter Sun Valley Bronze and its eclectic new Assemblage Collection that exemplifies the brand’s impressive casting work. While each piece is asymmetrical in design, a sense of uniformity is achieved through scale and proportion across the collection, which includes cabinet knobs, pulls, grips and door hardware. Shown is the Assemblage Lever in Burnished Silicon Bronze. sunvalleybronze.com

Liebherr’s Monolith Collection, a high-tech line of cooling products for wine enthusiasts, now includes a Wine Column to round out its impressive offerings.

Boutique property development firm Banda offers search, development and interior design under one roof. At Leinster Square, a newly renovated London townhouse, the firm’s elegantly laid-back ethos is on proud display in the dining and reception rooms, where matte-finish paneled walls set the stage for abstract artworks, sensuous sculptures and marble statement pieces.

THE

MAN ABOUT TOWN

There’s something universally captivating about a derelict building with a story to tell.

Such was the line of thought that sparked a then-23-year-old Edo Mapelli Mozzi to found Banda, his boutique, London development firm specializing in converting unconventional character properties into bespoke residences.

Fifteen years later, with projects sprinkled across the globe and a growing interior design wing (not to mention, a recent marriage to England’s Princess Beatrice of York), Mapelli Mozzi expounds on his distinct vision of residential luxury. bandaproperty.co.uk

In a name: Banda translates to “house” in Swahili. I’ve spent a lot of time in Lamu, Kenya, and source huge amounts of inspiration from the people and way of life there. I wrote my business plan from a “banda” in my early 20s. For me, the word conjures a feeling of simplicity. Design doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does have to stir emotions and promote well-being.

Holistic approach: When I launched Banda, there was a gap in the market for a high-quality search, development and design business.

Many developers take a cookie-cutter approach that isn’t true to life. Our aim was to offer something out of the ordinary with quality and experience at the core.

Buyers want: There is a definite shift away from prime postcodes and pure new-build schemes.

Our clients want personality through design, community and security. These elements work together to form a unique feeling of luxury.

Market update: Buyers are extremely serious right now; there’s no window shopping.

Likewise, sellers are motivated. Covid has put a lot into perspective and encouraged many to make lifestyle changes. One thing for certain is that properties with open outdoor spaces will be the ones that shine as we navigate this unprecedented time.

Formative influence: My mother worked in commercial real estate and used to drive me around to her job sites. I understood from an early age that how we live and work are intertwined, and how spaces can make us feel.

URBAN AFFAIR

With lifestyle flexibility top of mind, many are seeing the appeal of the pied-à-terre anew. Take the owners of this Manhattan apartment: a Connecticut couple with a passion for the arts. After finding the perfect part-time roost in a historic West Village carriage house studio, they tasked Brooklyn architect Sarah Jacoby with infusing function and romance. An immersive coat of Farrow & Ball’s Off-Black and a wall of custom built-ins (including a sleek compact kitchen) make the space “a fun and special retreat, not just a crash pad,” says Jacoby. “They met in and love New York. This is their ‘reverse country home.’ ” sarahjacobyarchitect.com

Old digs: NYC apartment. New digs: Colonial in the burbs. In her own words: We always knew we’d end up leaving the city, and when we stayed with my husband’s parents during the pandemic, we realized we genuinely liked the suburbs! When our lease came up, we pulled the trigger. Besides many coats of fresh paint, so far we’ve wallpapered and updated the kitchen. Eventually, we’d love to gut the bathrooms, but…one day at a time.

Old digs: 1930s bungalow. New digs: Larger 1930s bungalow. In his own words: I recently got married, and my home was a bit small for two. L.A.’s market, amazingly, was thriving during Covid, so we struck while the iron was hot. I love a California Spanish Revival and our new home has it all: a curved staircase, grand rooms and great natural light. It’s so different (and exciting!) to design with a partner. It will be custom, curated and fabulous.

Old digs: Downtown apartment. New digs: 700-square-foot cottage. In her own words: We always wanted to explore small-footprint living. Plus, we were tired of renting!

Renovating during a pandemic (we’ve redone the layout and landscaping) has been interesting, but given our desire for a simpler life, it only strengthened our confidence in creating intimate moments and outdoor living spaces that allow us to thrive as a family.

HAPPY HOUR

Quarantined in their home last spring, Chad Dorsey’s clients had a revelation. The crafts room of their Dallas home was languishing unused: Could Dorsey turn it into a getaway for the grown-ups? “The entire space was inspired by the idea of cocktails and wine,” the designer explains. Envisioning a bar with all the glamour of a swank night out on the town, he devised a moody, burgundy scheme, selecting Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal to lacquer the millwork.

Adding further sparkle, Dorsey designed a hammered brass and Calacatta viola marble bar illuminated by a crystal chandelier from a Parisian hotel. The result? An invigorating idyll when cabin fever sets in—one bound to delight guests when safe, as well as future buyers seeking the ultimate at-home escape. chaddorseydesign.com

SOUTH STREET PARTNERS / CHARLESTON, SC Mass influx: The migration to the southeast has outpaced every U.S. region since the 2010 Census, which we see accelerating due to lower cost of living and temperate climates. Top of mind: Private elevators, open-air staircases and indoor/outdoor fitness amenities that allow for social distancing.

ORIGIN STORY

In 1935, Charles and Emmie Adams left Detroit for the sleepy railroad town of Lake Alfred, Florida. There, they began building the largest citrus packing house of the time. Fast forward three generations and their grandson—Miami architect Max Strang—saw a unique opportunity for the family property: a wellness community.

“It’s definitely a reaction to nearby development,” says Strang, who alongside his siblings, intends to transform the 500 plus-acre parcel into a high-design agrihood. “Groves were dying to citrus blight and being sold off to lackluster sprawl. We felt like we had a critical mass to do something special with, otherwise grandma would come back to haunt us.”

Starting with converting their grandparents’ house into an events venue, plans were drawn for five distinct districts arranged around organic citrus groves and freshwater lakes. Units will range from apartments to estates, with styles from “modern agricultural” to “southern farmhouse.” There will be shopping, fine dining, a boutique inn and spa, a museum devoted to Florida citrus, a school, lakefront parks and community farms. Consistent with Strang’s portfolio, sustainability is paramount: Homes will offer solar-paneled roofs and geothermal heating, and rainwater will be harvested.

The underlying mission? Build community around a back-to-the-land mindset—something Strang sees a growing market for. “Nowadays we’re divorced from our food and for many, it’s work to physically reach nature. This idea of walking out the door and onto a nature path is creating a new kind of suburbia.” strang.design

esigner Tracy Hardenburg’s pulse quickened the first time she pulled up to this midcentury modern-style Dallas residence. “I walked in and thought, ‘Wow, this place is baseline beautiful,’ ” she remembers. “And I immediately visualized doing so many exciting things.” Luckily for her, the homeowner—an attorney with two grown children—found her enthusiasm contagious. “Rather than wanting to incorporate her own style, she said, ‘Let’s do what you want to do,’ ” he recalls. And so, with a shared passion for the architecture and its big windows, high ceilings and spacious feel, the duo set out to create a casual yet elegant environment reflecting the client’s more playful side.

True to form, the owner was all in when Hardenburg suggested suspending hanging hoop chairs from the 30-foot-living room ceiling as part of the seating arrangement. And on the practical side, he easily acquiesced when she proposed expanding the initial plans for a kitchen and main bathroom redo to encompass three more bathrooms and two guest rooms. However, the designer’s vision for a moody, dark cooking space with black cabinets and a bronze tile backsplash was a tougher sell. “I said to him, ‘You have 11-foot ceilings and lots of natural light— we can do this,’ ” she explains, and it was a leap of faith the homeowner is glad he took. “Now it’s one of my favorite spaces,” he notes, crediting builder Blake Evenson, working with project manager Charlie Williamson, for flawlessly executing many of the kitchen’s details.

Back in the living room, where the hanging chairs checked the fun box, a gently curving velvet sofa introduced a refined touch to the voluminous space enhanced by views of the surrounding landscape brought to life by Verdant Grounds. A fan of natural elements, Hardenburg also brought in sculpted cane-and-walnut chairs.

“I love rough materials but beautiful shapes,” says the designer, who completed the room with an organic limestone-and-wood coffee table.

That same strategy served Hardenburg well in the more formal of the two dining spaces, where a David Yarrow photograph spans one wall and

a glass-and-metal John Pomp chandelier floats above a table with a gray stone top and a steel base. About the latter, the designer says, “It’s a cold element but striking, and I softened it with the chairs and a walnut console with navy blue leather on the doors.”

Just two steps up from the formal dining room, upholstered seating and a wooden table speak to the more relaxed nature of the breakfast area.

Here, a central compartment cutting through the center of the table multitasks as a place for centerpiece plants or cold drinks, with a series of wood pedestals aiding in serving snacks. Such choices exemplify the designer’s quest for the unusual and her stated desire that everything from the art to the furnishings be cool and unique.

“I never want someone to walk into a home I’ve worked on and think, ‘Tracy did that,’ ” she says.

Despite the midcentury modern-style backdrop, Hardenburg’s furniture selections reflect this desire to create one-of-a-kind spaces rather than simply match the architecture. Regarding a pair of upholstered chairs in the great room, the designer explains, “I didn’t place them there because they are midcentury in style—I liked that they swiveled and had pretty wooden bases.” The addition of both a coffee table with an open square design and a textured area rug defined by primitive shapes further punctuates her ability to bring uniqueness to an interior. “I have no formula,” she notes. “My goal as a designer is simply for nobody else to have the same thing.”

In no space is that objective more apparent than the main bathroom, where a painting by Dallas artist David Bates proved the impetus for decidedly masculine dark green walls. “I thought that with a man as my client, I had a shot at using that color,” says Hardenburg, who accommodated the homeowner further by replacing a bathtub with a floating leather banquette where he can take off his shoes or watch television. She also ringed a section of the room with walnut vanities capped with white marble while topping off everything with a dazzling dark green-and-white marble floor. “I don’t normally do a lot of pattern but the marble is stunning and I still look at that space and gasp,” Hardenburg adds. “Like the rest of the house, this room has everything—color, elegance and it’s fun.”

or many people, the passage of time coincides with the accumulation of possessions— and places in which to keep them. Bibbi and Tom Anderson had happily ridden that trajectory for years, filling their Texas homes with treasured collections of art and antiques. But as they embarked upon a life chapter as emptynesters, they chose a different path: building a Houston home with just enough room to meet their needs and reflect their elevated tastes, honed during Tom’s years as co-owner of a luxury real estate company and Bibbi’s career as an artist.

“This project was about paring their lives back and having fewer things,” explains designer Chandos Dodson Epley, a longtime family friend who joined architect W. Travis Mattingly, builder Brian Thompson, whose project manager was Bobby Lawton, and Moss Landscaping in creating a custom residence complementing the clients’ new outlook and fresh, serene surroundings.

However, while the owners may have been willing to part with some of their furnishings, they had no plans to dial back the pursuits of their passions, including woodworking for Tom, painting for Bibbi and hosting lively gatherings.

That meant the house would need a dining room that could accommodate 12 guests, an outdoor kitchen with a wood-burning pizza oven, a wood shop for Tom and a studio for Bibbi, not to mention bedrooms for visitors and an outdoor pool. “We gave that input to Travis, who molded it into a livable floor plan,” Bibbi says. “We were able to utilize every buildable space in this house and on this lot, which is not immense.”

That’s not to suggest concessions weren’t made.

By the time Mattingly positioned the main-floor living areas, main bedroom suite, loggia, pool and wood shop, “There just wasn’t any footprint left for my studio,” Bibbi recalls. “So I pouted awhile, but Travis said, ‘Trust me, I will make your studio a place you’ll never want to leave.’ ” Located on the second floor, the resulting 440-square-foot space features a limestone fireplace displaying Bibbi’s artwork on tiers of integrated shelves.

emphasize the room’s inviting warmth, while large steel windows flood the space with light. “She particularly requested northern light,” Mattingly says, “and as a bonus, we got her southern light and a view of the backyard and pool.”

The owners’ love of art is equally evident in other rooms. “They have an extensive collection,” Epley says, “and we spent several days determining where all of their beloved works would hang.” Some pieces were placed specifically, like the still life commissioned to conceal the family room’s wall-mounted television while complementing chairs upholstered in soft bluegreen velvet. Other works found their places after the rooms were complete. “I always tell clients that placing art is like a dress fitting,” the designer explains. “Things may need to be moved and changed based on how they look in the room.”

Epley took a similarly intuitive approach when composing each room’s design details, which represent a range of styles. “We chose to have the bones be traditional,” she says, “but then went in with more modern plumbing and lighting for that juxtaposition.” Bibbi joined the hunt for cleanlined contemporary furnishings and patinated antiques, always taking the designer’s feedback to heart. “Bibbi has great taste,” Epley notes, “so it was really about editing her choices so the end result was what we had envisioned.” And that was often something quite daring: black-lacquered library walls, a pink-ceilinged dining room with a tortoiseshell faux-painted silver-cupboard door, horse-legged stools gathered alongside the kitchen island, or an illuminated, marble-clad bathtub.

To ground all that freshness, Epley employed organic textures such as reclaimed ceiling beams for the kitchen and family room, white-oak paneling in the breakfast room, an antique Empire chest-turned-vanity for the powder bathroom and antique louvered shutters on the loggia. “I wanted to mix modern touches with elements that have a bit of age,” says the wife. Adds the designer: “And that’s what made the transitional style work—giving it a little patina so those modern touches don’t feel too cold.” For the happy owners, that balance creates a space that’s as beautiful to inhabit as it is to view. “The goal was something fun and open to have people in,” Tom says, and the result is just that. “It is a real home.”

Walls painted Sherwin-Williams Roycroft Bottle Green make for a cozy media room featuring jet-black barn doors designed by Chandos Interiors and built by Thompson Custom Homes, which complement art by Stephanie Wheeler. Lee chaises flank an accent table from Area.

or many creatives, turning a passion into a business seems far-reaching. But for artist Delita Martin, it was only a matter of time. “I had always imagined going out on my own,” she recalls. “And it was my husband who eventually encouraged me to live out my dream.” Propelled by her talent and his support, in 2016 Martin opened Black Box Press Studio outside Houston, creating largescale mixed-media prints telling the stories of marginalized women. “I was raised by strong women,” she says. “For me, it’s important to talk about them—their accomplishments both in the community and at home.”

Martin has spent years honing her skills. As an undergraduate student she focused on conté and pencil drawing, later studying printmaking during graduate school. Today her process combines these techniques, while incorporating what she calls a “visual vocabulary” of objects, patterns and symbols—including bird and golden stool motifs—to take viewers on a deep, soulful journey. Vintage jewelry, decorative papers and even hand-stitching are other elements she uses to capture the eye. “These things have meaning to me but also connect universally as they’re found in all aspects of life regardless of gender or race,” she says.

On the surface, Martin’s work is vibrant, but more of the story is revealed beneath the layers. Each piece begins with a background or what Martin refers to as a “veilscape” through which the figures and layers seem to emerge. “It portrays the visual side of the spirit world,” she notes. “I add patterns because of their complexity—sometimes they fight each other, sometimes they marry well.” And it’s no coincidence female figures and circular patterns appear throughout. “It’s a shape representing the moon, which is a female symbol in African cultures,” the artist notes.

Martin’s art is on view at various institutions, and an upcoming exhibit will include 20 new works incorporating elements like silk screening and etching. But Martin’s real passion project is launching the Black Box Press Foundation as a way to help support artists creating works to propel political and social change. “When I think about art,” Martin says, “it changes minds and hearts, and minds change systems, and systems can change life—and I get to be a part of it.”

Artist Delita Martin operates out of her Houston-area studio, where she creates large-scale mixed-media prints. A recent reduction relief print (previous pages, right) incorporates fabrics, decorative papers and even hand-stitching. Martin uses a wood carving tool during the relief printing process (below).

Camaraderie was key to the renovation of this Austin residence.

PROJECT HOME

Architecture: Derek Barcinski, Atlantis Architects Interior Design: Heidi Feliz-Grimm and Heather Berardi, Martha O’Hara Interiors

W

hen the ideal renovation opportunity revealed itself after a years-long search, an Austin couple was ready to jump— knowing they could enlist myriad professionals from past projects to help realize their vision. “We immediately turned to Derek,” recalls the wife, who, with her husband, has known architect Derek Barcinski for two decades. “We’ve worked together on everything from commercial builds to historic and residential remodels,” she continues, noting home renovations have become something of a hobby for the couple.

“The best projects come from knowing the clients and vice versa,” adds Barcinski. “I know how important family is to them—and their home reflects that.”

Like the owners, Barcinski immediately saw potential in the property—not just the house but also the sloping yard they could level for a pool and an additional structure, all while maintaining the mature landscape. “I grew up in Louisiana in a home surrounded by beautiful oak trees, so it just felt comfortable,” says the wife. That the residence was designed in the style of Pelican State architect A. Hays Town made it all the more appealing. “We knew it would be a big project but don’t believe in tearing down a classic,” she adds. And while her response was sentimental, for her husband, a commercial builder serving as their contractor, it was also about practicality. “The original builder had a great reputation and I knew the house was well built,” he says, adding, “And anything you can prevent from going into the landfill is important in terms of environmental impact of construction— that was another reason we remodeled.”

Originally designed as a series of small rooms, the residence necessitated being opened up for a better flow. To that end, Barcinski removed arched passageways and moldings for a cleaner look, joined the kitchen, dining and family rooms, and turned a former library and bedroom into a suite for the owners. “We also replaced the stair rail with a modern interpretation,” says the wife, noting the couple had input on a new one Barcinski designed and metalsmith Lars Stanley fabricated. Another special effort: the oak beams sourced to disguise new steel structural supports

in the kitchen and family room, which now features a wood-burning fireplace. Elsewhere, Barcinski created a shiplap-clad back hall connecting the front and rear gardens—off of which springs a second bedroom suite—and glazed the rear façade with French doors allowing the ground floor to flood with dappled light.

While the wife had ideas for a modern, classic and comfortable look for the interiors, she knew she needed help pulling it all together. To that end, through friends she found designer Heidi Feliz-Grimm. “She didn’t want anything too formal, so we devised a design that feels pulled together but not stuffy,” Feliz-Grimm explains.

“It’s all about durability and earth tones.” They achieved that look through wood furnishings, including the large family room cocktail table requiring seven men to install. “We wanted a palette that created a casual vibe and chose textural fabrics for a calm feel—no heavy patterns or colors,” the designer adds.

However, that’s not to say Feliz-Grimm, working with designer Heather Berardi, didn’t have a little fun when the opportunity arose.

Examples include the dining room chairs they upholstered in a bold blue velvet and the rich, peacock-hued paneled walls in the den. “It feels like a little cave, perfect for watching television or reading,” says Feliz-Grimm, who chose a highgloss finish for depth. “It’s my favorite room.”

She also created a moody feel in the reading nook adjoining the couple’s bedroom, giving the bookcases a wash of soft black, a hue she subtly carried into the airy bedroom with a black-painted four-poster bed.

Updates continued outside, where Barcinski designed a patio and pergola under which FelizGrimm created an entertaining area comprising a mix of wood, metal and concrete furnishings. The pool offers welcome relief on warm days, and a new brick-clad structure designed by the architect in a New Orleans style offers additional space for movies, yoga and the husband’s woodworking projects. And it was all done without harm to the grand old oak tree that centers the backyard.

“The best thing about a remodel is it’s like a ‘new’ house but with established landscape and trees,” says the architect. The wife adds, “We didn’t save any time with this renovation, but we did save a little history.”

In the foyer, enjoyed by the family dog, Eileen, a Kathy Buist mixed-media from West Chelsea Contemporary hangs above a Hickory Chair bench. The chandelier is from Visual Comfort, the rug is Fay + Belle and the bespoke railing was fabricated by Lars Stanley of Stanley Studio.
