“We were designing for floor-to-ceiling glass and needed a sleek design with minimal frames. Western Window Systems fit that scope. They have a very regular, modern design for sliding doors and fixed window systems, so it worked perfectly for the house that way.”

LETTER EDITOR’S

Real Intelligence Our workplace Slack channel, “Learn AI,” is frequently pinging with updates on the latest tools and links to YouTubers who share weekly recaps and practical uses.

I wish that I could say I was interested.

But, at the moment, I am fascinated by another regenerative force: that of trees.

A few months ago, I moved from a heavily-developed area to one of the most biologically diverse regions in the country.

My neighborhood was planned in the 1920s by landscape architect John Nolen in collaboration with Frederick Law Olmsted, and it is filled with massive century-old trees. An 80-foot white oak graces my front yard, and this mighty tree supports more life-forms than any other North American tree genus, providing food and protection for birds, bears, squirrels and countless insects and spiders. It will produce three million acorns in its lifetime and drop about 700,000 leaves each year, creating a habitat that regenerates and makes its own vibrant community right outside my door. Plus, oak trees also sequester carbon.

Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

SHELF LIFE

DESIGN, STYLE & INFLUENCE W R I T T E N BY K H A D E J A H K H A N

Alexa Hampton’s latest book, the third in her oeuvre, explores the design evolution of her longtime New York City residences—in a building she’s called home for 27 years— through vivid snapshots and heartfelt tributes. Luxe chatted with the prolific designer to learn more. alexahampton.com; penguinrandomhouse.com What inspired this book? I wanted to write about my lifelong influences. Some are seminal moments, like the Bill Blass and Givenchy sales. Others are museums or architects that have inspired me. That’s the core of the book—“love letters” to various people, places and experiences that have shaped me.

How do you balance grandeur with what you describe as “normalcy” in your home? I’ve given myself permission to have things like crazy helmets and formal elements, but they aren’t necessarily reflective of my personality—it’s about what delights me.

OPEN HOUSE

Any advice for the next generation of designers? First, look at people you admire in other fields. What can you draw from their story? Second, take yourself seriously.

Designing is a craft that requires intelligence, but it should not be divorced from our creative angels. Find the balance that suits you; authenticity is key to success.

Interior designer Jennifer Verruto has opened a new studio and showroom in central San Diego after outgrowing her previous location. “This space is flooded with natural light and was ready for build-out, so we could customize everything, filling it with life and personality,” she says.

Now, there is an area for her design team to work from, a showroom she likens to “a candy shop of remodel materials,” and a boutique filled with handpicked accessories. There’s even a kitchen and espresso bar. “We want people to feel welcome here—the idea is that they can immerse themselves in design and get inspired.”

Verruto also hopes to engage the local community through trade events and mentoring.

“I want to be the designer I wish I’d met early in my career,” she explains. “Through one-on-one coaching and group programs, I can provide guidance in a way that’s never been offered before in San Diego.” blytheinteriors.com

Rydhima Brar A LUXE Next In Design 99 honoree, Brar melds Middle East and West Coast sensibilities to create a contemporary style with global influences. Here, the R/terior Studio principal shares how sustainability plays into that mix.

RB: “There is so much to learn when it comes to this topic, from using carpeting or drapery as insulators in a home to bamboo flooring options to working with locally sourced materials. Two brands on my radar are ecoBirdy, which makes furniture from recycled plastic toys, and Vetrazzo slabs that are made of 100% recycled glass.” rteriorstudio.com Leah Ring With design firm Another Human, Ring aims to create layered yet functional spaces that “look better once they’re lived in.” The LUXE Next In Design 99 talent tells us how she makes this motto a reality. LR: “We address sustainability by guiding our clients to avoid design trends—so they don’t feel a desire to replace items every few years­­—and specifying highquality, often locally manufactured goods. If the materials are elevated and the space is a unique reflection of them, they could live with the same finishes and pieces for decades to come.” anotherhuman.la See our Next In Design 99

Ireland: A Life in Design, a new monograph. Here, she reflects on Southern California design. kathrynireland.com How has SoCal changed, stylistically? My clients’ homes are now more about family and pets. And exterior spaces have become as important as the interiors. What neighborhood still captivates you? The Westside. I’m always searching for that unspoiled 1920s Spanish home. I also like modernizing industrial spaces for families or empty nesters. Share some career highlights.

BLUEPRINT HUME WELLNESS CLUB

SCENE

DESIGN

Los Angeles’ first wellness-focused club, Hume, is set to open early next year in Venice Beach. The project, cofounded by Roger Briggs and Sandy Bole (who have finance and real estate development backgrounds, respectively) reinvents the idea of a members’ club by bringing together health and lifestyle facilities under one roof.

The 13,500-square-foot venue is designed in collaboration with both Runzhi Wang of Wisan Studio and Bricault Design, and features a landscape envisioned by Bole. At the core of the design is work by local artists, including furnishings by Chad Hagerman and Thomas Musca and curtains by textile artist Bridget Thompson. Hume will offer members a slowed pace and the holistic, communal feel of bathhouses with a program that includes fitness classes, nutritional guidance, recovery therapies, events and customized programs. The goal is to bring a more simplified approach to wellness and to inspire Angelenos to consider a more consistent practice of self-care. hume.la

IN THE STUDIO BRIGITTE D’ANNIBALE

“I’ve always felt at home living next to the ocean,” Brigitte D’Annibale (top) says. The artist, a native Californian, divides her time between Los Angeles and Kauai, with a studio practice that includes painting and site-specific installations. “Regardless of medium, a core principle of my work is deconstruction and assemblage,” she explains.

Her recent Malibu installation, B=f(P,E) (above), took over an abandoned residential site on Point Dume to explore interactions between land and structure, and interiors and objects. (The site, which doubles as a place for contemplation, can be visited by appointment.)

“My dedication to architectural interventions, discarded materials and uncovering environments’ potential allows me to create meaningful spaces that move the human spirit,” the artist reflects. “My work urges us embrace the shared essence of our humanity.” Currently, D’Annibale is focused on new paintings that explore “connection and language,” as well as creative collaborations that will bring movement and sound to her forthcoming projects. brigittedannibale.com

Next (Re)Generation LUXE MEETS THREE CREATORS WHOSE FORWARD-THINKING PRACTICES START WITH REGENERATIVE DESIGN AND BETTERING THE WORLD AROUND US.

Acropora by Sangmin Oh for TextielMuseum is part of his “Knitted Light” series, which uses elastic, glow-inthe-dark yarn and recycled monofilament fishing line.

SANGMIN OH

For Daniel Michalik, whose Brooklyn studio crafts striking seating and objets from cork (like the Arm Chair, below), working with the medium is more than an aesthetic choice—it is part of an effort to “rethink our relationship to natural systems.” The lifecycle and harvesting methods for cork make it a uniquely environmentally responsible material because cork trees can be harvested naturally every nine years without damage. And using this flexible, raw material is part of a circular manufacturing loop, as it’s recyclable and its main global use, the production of bottle stoppers, leaves large amounts of leftovers. Michalik, a professor at Parsons School of Design, makes frequent trips to Portugal, where cork forests abound, to study and preserve the centuries-old harvesting techniques handed down through generations. danielmichalik.com

When Korean-born designer Sangmin Oh decided to create three-dimensional textile lighting, he found himself experimenting at the fabric laboratory of the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, Netherlands, which became a playground of sorts for the maker. There, using a knitting machine, he was able to mix materials until he found his recipe for magic: a combination of elastic, glow-in-the-dark yarn and recycled monofilament fishing line. “Because of its transparent quality, it lets you play with light,” Oh says of his amorphous, abstract “Knitted Light” pieces which evoke natural forms, specifically, threatened coral. At night, Oh’s designs emit a soft glow showing different hues and dimensions, and, in the daylight, they are textile sculptures inspiring wonder and reflection. osangmin.com

TREY JONES One look at Trey Jones’ sculptural furnishings and your eye is drawn to the unusual patterning, rich coloration and whimsical proportions. What may not be immediately apparent is that the pieces are also a feat of ingenuity in reusing resources. At the workspace Jones shares in Washington, D.C., piles of plywood would accumulate as cabinet makers crafted their wares. Soon, the artist was inspired to give the scraps new life and landed on a technique inspired by Japanese Nerikomi ceramics, in which Jones painstakingly assembles small offcut sections into elaborate motifs created by exposing the wood cut ends. For the Plinths Cabinet, at left, the compounded technique reveals the inherent nature of the pattern within. treyjonesstudio.com; cultureobject.com

has yielded hauntingly memorable spaces, including a Manhattan refuge in which blue-chip contemporary art takes center stage, and light and air are ingredients as important to the finished scheme as the chevron patterned floors and curvy sofas.

The project exemplifies Cotton’s belief that there should be a continuous push and pull between objects and furnishings as though they are in constant communication.

Cotton’s rooms are always poetic, never banal, and pared down to sensuous and unexpected details and couplings that evoke emotion. How does he compose beautiful interiors that actually make you

feel something? “You have to edit,” he says.

“I want people to bring things into their lives that have meaning. The objects and materials you employ in a space should be intentional. Intentionality dictates respect.

Do you need this? Is this the best version?

I would rather not buy a decorative object just to fill a room. I want houses to evolve over time and give people a canvas to paint their own spaces.” His talent lies in the way he distills a client’s passions to their best possible version and then gives them plenty of room to soar and sing.

“Above all,” says Cotton, “design should be filled with joy.” billycotton.com

He is a polymath decorator whose soulful, wideranging body of work can incorporate bouillon fringe and chintz balloon shades as easily— and winningly— as it does sculptural staircases and chalky white walls left ethereally unadorned. And while Billy Cotton’s deft, resonant interiors can run the gamut stylistically, they are all rooted in a rigorous, inquisitive point of view the New York-based practitioner picked up at Pratt Institute. “I trained as an industrial designer, which was all about how somebody uses something and how they interact with an object, whether it’s a plate or silverware. I think of all my projects that way,” he says. “What does somebody need, what is the problem and why did they come to me?”

The function-forward answer leads Cotton to a client-specific game plan that leaves him room to play—with materials, with furnishings, with romance. “I’m a dreamer. I love to fantasize about what beauty or luxury can be. When we get together with clients, we are having fun.”

In Cotton’s world, “fun” is a humble euphemism for an intuitive process that

TODAY’S TOP TALENTS WEIGH IN ON THE PROS AND CONS OF AI FOR RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE.

In an industry that values the trained eye and a studied approach, it’s perhaps no surprise that many architects are wary of artificial intelligence programs that whip up new renderings at the push of a button. “It’s fascinating software, but it is frightening,” says Fort Worth-based architect Jeff Garnett, who does not use AI in his work but has tested the software after hours. “Design is a human creation, and we have to hold onto that as long as we can.”

If you plug the phrase “Georgian Revival estate stucco” into an AI program like Midjourney, you will get multiple versions of a visualization rendering returned in mere seconds—sans blueprints and the actual details needed to build a house, of course. While these images may look authentic, they don’t replace a trained—human— professional. “You’re going to have to be careful with these programs and stay well-informed, not trusting things too much,” architect Tom Kligerman of New York City firm

LUXESOURCE.COM

Kligerman Architecture & Design heeds when it comes to taking what’s in front of you for fact or fiction.

Still, AI has its perks—especially as back-of-the-napkin initial sketches can be replaced by a tool that creates a nearly-instant rendering to elucidate an architect’s imaginings. Andrew Kudless, principal of design studio Matsys and a Professor at the University of Houston’s Hines College of Architecture + Design, believes AI can be helpful in several ways. “In the early design phases, it can explore more ideas in less time without modeling and rendering each iteration. Also, as AI models become more sophisticated and attuned to architectural problems they can help automate essential yet labor-intensive tasks, freeing up designers’ time.” In short: there are ways to put the intelligence in artificial intelligence. “There is this perception that AI models are either godlike superbeings or evil robots coming for everyone’s job,” Kudless says.

Juicy Fruit NOVEL PLANT AND FRUIT LEATHERS OFFER STYLISH QUALITIES ENTIRELY THEIR OWN.

A new crop of leathers is popping up and meeting the (environmentally conscious) moment, offering elegant alternatives to traditional materials. By using sustainably farmed plants, fruits and byproducts with lower ecological footprints, these imaginative textiles can capture the lithe look and grains of animal leathers while also producing unique aesthetic effects, introducing tantalizing possibilities for interior design.

That’s what attracted Brooklyn-based furniture designer Bowen Liu to Fruitleather Rotterdam.

The Dutch brand makes plant leather from spoiled mangos, resulting in textiles that feature naturally stained pebbled textures and embossed crocodilelike patterns. But Liu intuitively gravitated to Fruitleather’s original mottled finish, which reveals pieces of the mango’s natural pulpy texture and golden hue. “I like showing the details of a material without sacrificing its integrity,” explains the designer. “The pulp and fiber add character that feels authentic.”

This speaks to plant leather’s underlying appeal— one-of-a-kind materiality, and a sense of place and history. Another brand making waves is Desserto, who is producing a leather-like textile from the nopal cactus on its farms in Zacatecas, Mexico. The heritage, drought-hardy perennial is grown without irrigation or pesticides. In the Philippines, Ananas Anam is using leftover pineapple leaf fibers to make their signature Piñatex leather. They recently collaborated with famed British designer Tom Dixon, covering his wingback chairs in metallic Piñatex to create an effect reminiscent of leather crossed with texturized silver.

Such partnerships play a central role in carving sustainable paths forward. For Liu, the key to unlocking plant leather’s potential is creative curiosity.

“I’m interested in materials and applying them to the proper applications,” she says. “It’s necessary to touch them and learn about their properties.”

AN ENDURING EXCELLENCE Founded more than four decades ago by visionary architect, Marc Appleton, Appleton Partners has designed over 850 noteworthy projects from their offices in Santa Monica and Santa Barbara. “At Appleton Partners, architecture is not a preconceived style or brand, but a journey we take with our clients to help them realize their dreams,” shares managing partner, Ken Mineau. “Our award-winning team specializes in the planning, design and landscaping of custom residential, institutional and historic commercial projects here in Southern California and across the globe.”

APPLETON PARTNERS LLP 805.965.0304 | appleton-architects.com |

Outdoor living is a quintessential part of the SoCal lifestyle, which is why expertly-conceived exterior spaces that connect seamlessly with the interior have a strong design impact. This is something legendary architect Marc Appleton understood when he founded Appleton Partners in 1976, which remains a cornerstone of the firm’s mission. “Because the outdoor room is one of the most desired features of Southern California architecture, we’ve spent years perfecting it,” says design partner, Andrew Scott. “Each client’s wants and needs as well as their specific site influences our designs and presents a broad range of solutions. These include spaces to be occupied, walked through, discovered or seen from afar. Enhanced with light, water, plants and materials, these areas highlight views of nearby meadows, fountains, allées and walled gardens, and serve as integral focal points for exceptional outdoor living.”

When asked what it takes to achieve true exterior excellence, Andrew Scott and Ken Mineau responded, “While defined by the landscape, outdoor spaces need to be seen as an extension of the original architecture and an integral part of the project where all of the materials and details form a common vocabulary.

Architectural features such as an enclosed garden, a pergola, lath house, fireplace or fire pit, fountain, etc. all reinforce the common aesthetic and result in outdoor spaces that feel welcoming, secure, intimate, comfortable and cohesive.”

FAMILIAL TIES Brooklyn-based designer Sarah Nsikak is grateful for the growing interest and appreciation in quilting, which is introducing her beloved practice to a greater audience. “For the first time in a while, people want to understand how things are made,” says Nsikak, for whom quilting is personal. When she was a young child, her grandmother immigrated to the states from Nigeria and looked to quilting as a form of communication. “She taught me how to sew, and I think that established a new language and storytelling of sorts.” Her piece It May As Well Be Spring (above) is made of leftover scraps from her fashion brand, La Réunion, and presents an amalgamation of symbols, like a fish and chair, which are meaningful to the creator yet still relatable to viewers. sarahnw.com

RHYTHMIC ROUSE It was during his MFA studies at Cranbrook Academy of Art that Julian Jamaal Jones pivoted from fashion photography to fiber arts and quilting—a craft his grandmother practiced in her youth. It’s that kind of comforting familiarity that Jones surmises could be behind the artform’s rise. “I’m on a mission to rewrite the rules of quilting and create my own unique verbiage within the medium,” says the Indianapolis-based artist. Jones’ practice implements abstract forms and vibrant colors, bypassing preconceptions and opening a dialogue around his Black experience. Take the three pieces here: Inspired by gospel music’s rhythms, lyrics and harmonies, the movement of each design mimics song beats and the feelings they evoke. The materials are as dynamic as the patterns themselves, with cottons, denims and plush velvets existing alongside one another. julianjamaaljones.format.com

COMMUNAL COMFORTS It was in 2003 when then-art student Martha Clippinger viewed a quilt exhibit at the Whitney Museum in New York that she realized this homespun craft could hold court among fine artwork. Fast-forward to today, and the Durham, North Carolina, quilter’s own works are now displayed in museums and galleries. Cuadricula Quilt, shown hanging, and Iona’s Covid Quilt, on the table, exemplify Clippinger’s keen observation of color. “I’ve always been interested in quilts as a way to discuss ideas about pattern, symmetry and, in particular, tonal relationships,” she says. “I share Josef Albers’ interest in studying the effects of color through direct observation. Making quilts with found materials is about looking at what’s in front of you and testing combinations to create dynamic arrangements of color.” marthaclippinger.com

BASIC INSTINCTS For Los Angeles creative Adam Pogue, a handmade quilt represents the ultimate gesture. “They serve a purpose; they keep us warm. And for as long as we use them, they remind us of the maker.” It’s in this spirit that he creates his textile works, like the one featured in the historic 19th-century Dr. Oliver Bronson House in Hudson, New York. The quilt, which depicts a landscape-inspired motif framed by bands of color, was originally made for Commune Design’s shop. It was crafted using a clothing designer’s cast-off hemp linen and dyed to the perfect hues. Pogue begins each work with a general idea and palette but admits he “never has it all figured out” before starting. Instead, he improvises as he goes, laying out the individual elements on the floor, rearranging and re-dyeing as desired. iamadampogue.com; communedesign.com; historichudson.org

HAPPY HANGOUT Step inside The Flat in downtown Westport, Connecticut, and you’ll feel as though you’re walking into the home of a chic friend. That was precisely the goal when Becky Goss opened the doors in 2016. She imagined a place to interact with customers and share stories of the treasures within. “I still believe in local, one-of-a-kind shops where you know the owner,” Goss says. “Stop in, see what’s new, have a conversation and get off your screen!” In the highly curated familial space, not one specific period or style dominates. Because after all, a good room is all about thoughtful layering. “I’m not afraid to take vintage or antique items and reimagine them for the modern home.” Case in point: the one-off mid-19th century Biedermeier Recamier reupholstered in a bold Robert Kime fabric (pictured). theflatwestport.com

For Jones and her customers, there’s nothing like the thrill of originality. “I think the people who shop with us are looking for items with some soul.

Pam Evans’ brick-and-mortar store Maison in Birmingham, Alabama, is a nod to French style, from which she is infinitely inspired. “Paris is always a good idea!” swoons Evans. “I love the culture and their chic sense of style, from food and fashion to interiors.” Shabby chic French finds aside, Evans’ offerings span provenance and genre (her M.O. is pairing modern art, like these abstract works on paper by Addison Ryan, with midcentury furniture), but collectively lean towards the neutral, patinaed and oversized. “I tend to buy large pieces, like these wooden Belgian spheres, a midcentury chandelier five feet in diameter, or a pair of nine-foot columns.”

Such unique finds are most often scooped up by designers and architects who look to Evans’ wares for adding character to their spaces; the sort of acquisition the antiques veteran still gets a thrill out of after two decades in the business. maisonshoppe.com

Today, as the president of PHX Architecture, he enjoys the beauty of the firm’s two home cities, Scottsdale and Beverly Hills, as well. It’s quite the suite of fountains from which to pull influence. That variety is a good thing, because Peterson and team’s project lineup

is just as diverse. From luxury residences and private golf clubhouses to boutique resorts and specialty restaurants, they’ve dipped toes in it all. “I would love to design sets for the globe’s greatest opera houses.”

In fact, if he weren’t in his current profession, that is what Peterson says he would be doing. But with the celebration of PHX Architecture’s 21st anniversary this year, his real focus is on honoring the legacy with new developments that are just as exciting as what came before. “We continue to refine our specialized approach to the bespoke luxury design typology.”

ON A PERSONAL NOTE Share five social media accounts you turn to for inspiration. @designleadershipnetwork, @design_interior_homes, @luxuryworldtraveler, @amazing.architecture and @megacribs on Instagram.

List three design rules you work by and three of your design pet peeves.

The rules are no more than three materials, odd always over even and regional use of materials and design techniques. The pet peeves are merging styles that don’t belong, buildings that don’t have regional context and labeling “transitional” design.

What’s on your desk?

My computer, a family photo, a Frank Lloyd Wright quote and tons of magazines I’ve been meaning to read!

Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success?

To withstand a volatile market for 21-plus years and not only stay in business but grow the business and brand nationally.

What’s next for the firm?

To continue to grow our brand on a national scale is our main focus over the next five years.

Jenni Lauri of Lauri Design Studio transformed a dated primary bath into a Zen-like sanctuary with the help of Wide Corp construction. A Calacatta Viola marble double vanity, fluted-marble backsplash from Il Granito and Apparatus sconces lend movement and texture to the neutral space, which is decorated with a plaster bench, Moroccan runner from Mehraban and vintage figurative artwork (this page and previous).

When the owners of this Los Angeles condo purchased the unit—which is located inside a building from the 1980s—it was showing its age. The couple called on Jenni Lauri of Lauri Design Studio to update the entire residence, including the primary bath. The designer gutted the room and reworked the layout, removing an unwanted tub and opting instead for a large shower with a bold antique brass-and-glass enclosure. A double vanity featuring Calacatta Viola marble is paired with

a fluted-marble backsplash. The remaining wall surfaces are plaster—including the shower, which has a waterproof finish, and the doors of the walnut-lined linen closet. “It feels seamless, and the plaster lends a soft, organic touch,” says Lauri, who rounded out the neutral palette—a continuation of what’s found in the main living spaces—with a Moroccan wool rug, a plaster bench and vintage figurative artwork.

“We tried to combine the couple’s love of a relaxed California look with the concept of

wabi-sabi,” says the designer. “These are busy people who travel often, so the primary suite is meant to be a cozy, Zen-like sanctuary.”

In fact, according to Lauri, this idea of a more subdued, pared-back type of luxury is what many clients are gravitating toward these days.

“The pandemic seems to have changed what people desire,” she continues. “Clients still want luxury, but in a more understated, organic manner, with neutral tones and materials.” lauridesignstudio.com

After living in Southeast Asia for work and falling in love with the region’s wet rooms, the owner of this Mount Hood, Oregon, residence wanted to incorporate the idea into his primary bath. The client tapped StruckSured Interiors’ Samantha Struck, who coincidentally had also lived in Southeast Asia for some time. “We gelled over our experiences there,” Struck says. “The concept of a wet room is that the shower, toilet, tub and sink are all in one waterproof space. We went for a very Japandi aesthetic that feels minimal yet warm and organic.” Struck selected materials and tones that reflect the owner’s love of the outdoors, such as sage-green waterproof plaster, natural-wood accents and copper plumbing. “The plaster has a soap sealant that makes the walls feel like silk,” Struck notes. The result: a beautifully rich product with no maintenance. strucksured.com

Formal Attire Designed to wink at classic East Coast aesthetics, this Manhattan Beach home has a twist that’s unmistakably Californian.

Black-and-white, harlequin-patterned marble flooring from Exquisite Surfaces strikes a traditional note in the skylit entry vestibule. Designer Lynn Pépe placed a fixture by The Urban Electric Co. as an overhead accent.

arm and inviting, rich with details and often built with a pleasing symmetry, traditionalstyle homes have a timeless appeal. And, for a formerly East Coastbased family of five putting down new roots in Los Angeles’ Manhattan Beach neighborhood, the draw of living in a house steeped in history—even as the home itself is a brand-new build—was irresistible. “Our clients were clear that they loved traditional residences,” recalls Anthony Laney of their initial conversations.

The architect, whose firm’s portfolio had, until now, exclusively consisted of contemporary architecture, welcomed the chance to expand his purview.

For the interiors, following discussions with the clients that had started prior to their West Coast move, designer Lynn Pépe focused on bespoke detailing to craft a sophisticated yet comforting material palette. “She wanted elements of a formal home and had such a clear vision,” Pépe says of the wife, who grew up in the South Bay. “She’s well-traveled, loves fashion and design and has a fantastic eye.” The family’s resulting abode graces a corner lot in the Hill Section of Manhattan Beach and is an appropriate synthesis of California coastal cool and East Coast charm.

The home’s symmetrical primary elevation clearly states its intention. In reference to Cape Cod aesthetics, two volumes with gabled roofs contain bay windows at the ground level and are separated by a defined, centered entrance.

A sunburst-patterned fanlight and ornamental sidelight windows surround the recessed doorway framed by a porch. And exterior cedar shingles treated with a translucent gray stain “allow the white trim to really pop and animate the façade to respond to every nuance of light,” Laney explains.

This variation lends a dignified patina reinforced by the roof, thanks to its combination of classic copper components and flat gray slate tiles. To complement this approach, landscape architect Rob Jones strategically planted privet and boxwood hedges to provide privacy, as well as flowers like camellias and wisteria vines for softness. Jones also brought in a mature sycamore tree that “stands as a nice punctuation mark for the home,” he says. All told, these materials and ministrations conspire to appear as if the house has been there awhile.

While it clearly references classic East Coast sensibilities on the exterior, the home’s California locale accounts for a particular variation: A two-and-a-half-story elegant entry vestibule and staircase capped with a skylight lead the way to the home’s main public spaces located at the second level—where they enjoy sweeping ocean views— with the bedroom suites tucked downstairs. This reverse floor plan isn’t uncommon among homes in Manhattan Beach, but it is quite unusual for a house with such a traditional flavor. “The exterior suggests a conventional layout, but, from the minute you go in that front door, you realize, ‘Oh, I wasn’t expecting a double-height space flooded with light,’ ” Laney comments. “The challenge was, ‘How do we lean into an unapologetically traditionalist aesthetic while taking advantage of the views and openness?’ ” One answer was to embrace a sense of craftsmanship, which makes the entire experience feel deeply considered and welcoming. Laney points out the detailed wood paneling on the entry vestibule in tandem with black-and-white marble flooring and meticulous wood handrails and balusters. “The aged finish of the harlequin-patterned marble evokes a sophisticated, welcoming entrance with a sense of history,” Pépe adds. Upstairs, in the largely open-plan kitchen and living room (another departure from a traditional layout), a mix of neutrals and cool tones helps relax the tightly composed space against bright, west-facing coastal views. Coffered ceilings mitigate the scale of the room and add interest while wallpaper lends a flourish to the dining room. “Even though many of the architectural details of the house are formal, it’s filled with life—kids, dogs, guests,” Pépe observes. “No area is off limits.”

Among the most beloved spaces is the expansive covered upstairs patio off the main living room that serves as a multipurpose outdoor area (“It’s one of the house’s very special places, with bifold doors that can fully open,” general contractor Dave Baldwin points out) and the lower pool deck complete with a two-story, limestone-clad fireplace. A finished basement level holds a gaming room and enclosed glass-walled wine cellar along with the husband’s office and guest suites.

This home, ultimately, is a reminder of why some styles and visual touchstones endure. It certainly charmed Laney. “Even though ‘traditional’ wasn’t our native language, it’s beautiful and triggers a sense of nostalgia,” he muses. “I can see why this is such an ageless aesthetic.”

F

inding the right place to live can feel like fate. For the owners of this Newport Beach beauty in particular, the meet-cute story involved a chance encounter mixed with a flash of love at first sight. While feeling lukewarm about purchasing another house, a lead about an off-market residence drew them to a property in Bayshores where they confessed their crush—that is, made an offer—within 30 minutes of setting foot on-site. While head over heels for the tranquil gated neighborhood (the beach is walkable, the schools excellent and the community tight) the homeowners’ infatuation with their find hit a snag when they considered the state of the existing residence. Cue the soundtrack’s proverbial record screech: “It had cement floors and very thin wood walls,” the wife recalls. “There was no way we were keeping it as is.”

The couple opted to start anew and quickly assembled a full team. Architect Eric Olsen dreamed up a three-story structure—brought to life by general contractor Matt McClure and project manager Tucker Joyce—while designer Marie Carson directed the interiors and landscape architect Chris Brown plotted the outdoor spaces.

Most of the team had never worked together, with the exception of Olsen and McClure. Yet the fairy tale continued without a hitch. “It’s rare to work with several new collaborators for the first time and have everything click so seamlessly,” marvels Olsen of their easy rapport.

Limitations came in the form of area height restrictions and the lot’s odd shape (“Five-sided, at different angles,” Olsen remembers with a laugh) but those restrictions worked well for the owners, who favored intimacy over immensity. “We wanted a classic, timeless and functional house, with nooks and crannies and character,” the wife shares, noting that her taste leans away from anything grandiose. But the ability to entertain a crowd remained important— “We have people over constantly,” she says—as was the flexibility to house their still-growing family.

Olsen granted their wishes by crafting an expansive kitchen connected to a great room and maximized the height allowances via a third-floor family room and entertaining zone complete with a bar and deck. Private areas like the bedrooms are deliberately smaller to devote more square footage to the public spaces. (The bedrooms sprawl across

the second floor, while a separate suite located across the lush garden offers guests the autonomy to come and go at will.) “As you head upstairs, the ceilings do get lower,” the architect notes, “but the house itself never feels small. It reads magnanimous and elegant.” To visually expand the cozier top level, Olsen banded it with wrapround windows that frame views of the bay, “filling it with light to make it seem larger,” he explains.

Under Carson’s discerning eye, the homeowners’ desire for ample areas that welcome a crowd and accommodate children emerged. The kitchen’s two islands can serve and seat groups, while the jewelbox dining room with walls in a smoky green hue backdrops frequent dinner parties. The living room’s deep window reveals and raised fireplace encourage lingering. And then there’s that third-floor family room, jokingly dubbed the Thunderdome by the owners, where an inviting wet bar, connected to a deck with a fire pit, is always party-ready.

Interior inspiration came from the immediate ocean surroundings—and from across the pond too.

Carson looked to Heckfield Place, a stately hotel west of London, and to fabrics, furnishings and finds from U.K.-based designer and antiques dealer Rose Uniacke to shape her approach. Limestone and parquet flooring partner with substantial oak cabinetry and paneling in a nod to the classic elements of an English country home, while furniture covered in light neutral fabrics, the whitewashed family room and a scattering of nautical touches that reference Newport Bay help to anchor these interiors in Southern California. “The owners gravitated toward an updated English country vibe, where there’s a presence of florals and patterns, but it’s not overwhelming,” the designer says. “We still wanted the house to evoke a sense of coastal chic, with an airy and relaxed atmosphere.”

Meanwhile, Brown’s landscape design drew inspiration from the husband’s memories of growing up in a nearby seaside community. “I wanted the gardens to hug the property with that same informal, comfortably coastal feeling,” the landscape architect recalls. Olive trees and wisteria vines frame the front entry, while the fragrances of lavender, star jasmine and gardenia pocketed throughout the garden waft inside the house and add to the ambiance.

Like any good love story, this one has a happy ending: “When I walked into the house the first time after it was completed, I cried,” the wife confesses.

“It was a dream come true.”

WORLDS COLLIDING Iranian-American artist Amir H. Fallah embraces a clash of cultures, identities and epochs in his visually immersive works.

T

he threads that connect Amir H. Fallah to his Iranian heritage are woven throughout his works, but the Los Angelesbased artist is just as likely to draw inspiration from 1980s skateboard graphics, vintage fashion illustrations and his son’s storybooks as from Persian manuscripts. He likens his process to that of a hip-hop artist sampling music, manipulating myriad ideas to create something new. Fallah often sifts through thousands of images stored on his computer to develop a digital collage. “I move things around like a puzzle to create a dialogue between the imagery,” he says.

Whether they are large-scale canvases, painted aluminum sculptures or pieces crafted from fused and stained glass, the artist’s contemporary works reflect the topics that preoccupy and engage him, from global conflicts to issues surrounding identity and immigration, right down to what it means to be a father.

But those themes aren’t always immediately apparent. Decorative borders divide many of his pieces into grids; inside, he combines disparate images whose meanings invite varied interpretations. Fallah is a maximalist with a “more is more” approach that layers vibrant symbols, graphics and illustrations for plenty of viewer interaction. And his twist on portraiture features figures that are veiled—underscoring his view that a person’s appearance is less interesting than what they surround themselves with—his subject’s skin tones rendered in orange or yellow to obscure their ethnicity.

A recent exhibition in Shanghai drew from Farrah’s personal life: It was inspired in part by his son. “A lot of the imagery in that show deals with wandering, searching, looking,” he explains “It’s about the big life questions that there are no right or wrong answers to.” And for two concurrent solo exhibitions earlier this year—“The Fallacy of Borders” at UCLA’s Fowler Museum and “A War on Wars” at Shulamit Nazarian—the artist focused on broad issues of war, power, oppression, boundaries and borders.

Despite the topics his work addresses, Fallah doesn’t particularly think of himself as a political artist. “I just want people to feel something when they see my pieces and to walk away thinking about it,” he muses. “My art asks a lot of questions but doesn’t necessarily provide answers. I want people to come up with their own conclusions.”

In his San Gabriel Valley studio, artist Amir H. Fallah (opposite) creates richly layered works, such as this detail from They Will Say a Collection of Untruths (left), rendered in acrylics he mixes himself (below). His pieces, which often hew to broad socioeconomic issues, typically start as collages (bottom).

FAMILY Matters

When renovating her parents’ new home in Irvine, a designer tapped into their love of European style to create a sanctuary rich in personal history.

I

love when spaces tell a story of who lives there,” designer Nicole Green says. For this Orange County home, that tale is one she knows particularly intimately. When her parents purchased a Spanish-style abode within a serene estate overlooking Bommer Canyon, they readily asked her to lead its interior renovation. It marks their second project together (Green handled the design of their Park City, Utah, getaway several years ago) and, while her parents followed her usual client process in the past, she admits this one came together a bit differently. “It was hard not to talk about the renovation casually over Sunday dinner,” she shares of their close relationship.

Her parents, whom Green describes as frequent travelers, avid entertainers and “a stylish, youthful couple,” brought some design know-how to the table themselves. “They’d been in their previous home for twenty years, so this was a chance to bring their interiors up to date with their current style,” the designer says. “My father is a builder with an eye for detail and my mother has wonderful taste and was very involved in the process.” While Green drove the renovation in every sense, the pair were involved collaborators and companions on sourcing trips to France and Italy, even finding a few special items themselves.

To kick things off, Green updated the taupe-hued exteriors with a warm white shade and placed a stone patio set purchased on a family trip to Provence in the front courtyard beside a fountain.

The water feature’s look—and soothing sound—sets the scene for the tranquil modern Mediterranean spirit found throughout the property. Inside, the designer gutted and recast key spaces like the kitchen, opening it up to a family room and carving out a dining nook. She was able to retain the abode’s exterior French doors and windows, staining them a darker hue to create contrast, plus sanded and restained the family room’s beams. Smooth plaster was added to the walls for texture and depth.

She also chose soft neutrals and earthy hues that flow naturally throughout the home, exuding a subtle elegance. “The palette is influenced by the breathtaking views of the rolling hills, which change color throughout the year,” Green explains.

Then there’s all the storytelling elements— those pieces that speak to the character of the owners. The foyer displays some of her parents’

beloved books and photographs while the piano room just off the entry features artwork, artifacts and even more of their library within distinctive coves. The dining room, also located just beyond the foyer, is drenched in cocoa-colored paint (“which just envelops you,” Green muses) setting off a distinctive Murano-glass chandelier the designer chose as an element of surprise. “I knew my parents’ style and what they would love, but I also knew when to challenge them,” she notes.

The formal living room provided an opportunity to introduce stronger colors. “The sofas are dressed in a bold but calming blue-green velvet that adds a lot of personality,” the designer says. “We wanted this room to feel very sophisticated but still loungy.”

She also specified a new fireplace surround in a size that nods to a grand, old-world scale.

Quieter neutrals adorn the family room, with a cream-colored sectional anchoring the space, and continue into the adjacent kitchen. And, in her parents’ serene bedroom, Green brought in meaningful touches including an antique desk (a family heirloom) and floral artworks by Lourdes Sanchez, whose work also appears in the kitchen, to reinforce the house’s connection to its site.

To revive the large yard, the homeowners called upon landscape architect Molly Wood, who had designed their previous residence’s yard.

In tandem with the interior plan, Wood chose a restrained plant palette free of distracting hues.

“It’s more about texture and foliage with color,” she explains of her work. “We chose grasses for movement, white roses to keep it natural but civilized, succulents, cacti and agave for interest, and boxwood, pittosporum and dwarf olives for different mounding shapes that echo the trees on the far hillsides.” Wood also brought in strawberry trees native of the Mediterranean Basin (and which happen to be Italy’s national tree) to frame the pool and bolster the estate’s European feel. A fire pit under a graceful sycamore and a trellised seating area also create new spaces for the owners to enjoy.

Due to the personal nature of this project, Green, happily, is still able to enjoy her work during frequent visits. But, more importantly, her parents are satisfied. “They’re a little removed from the world there; it’s a welcoming sanctuary where they can rest and enjoy each other’s company, but still host grandkids and holidays,” the designer observes. “It’s fitting for this next chapter in their lives.” Which is a story they have yet to tell.

Above: Farrow & Ball’s Salon Drab—“the dreamiest warm brown,” Green says—coats the dining room walls and ceiling. The abstract work by Italian artist Davide Serio was found by the designer on a family trip to Florence. Atop a pedestal are two pieces by ceramicist Re Jin Lee. Opposite: The same room’s Giopato & Coombes chandelier from Garde is reflected in a 1970s Italian mirror sourced via Galerie Half. The designer paired Hickory Chair chairs wearing Edelman Leather with a bespoke walnut table that can seat two guests at each end during larger gatherings.

Above: In the owners’ bedroom, which opens to a private seating area, a bespoke bed is joined by layered linen and sheer drapery fabrics from Schumacher and Kravet. The white porcelain table lamp is Ralph Lauren for Visual Comfort & Co. Opposite: To encourage lingering near the pool, Green selected teak lounge chairs from Sutherland upholstered with an oatmeal-hued Perennials fabric. Vintage Chinese garden stools are placed between each seat.
