For some homes, windows become more than a building element. All the more reason to start with the world's best materials and designs, sustainably crafted. To transcend function and open the world of stunning sight lines, playful light and museum-quality views. A tall order for a normal window, but not for windows that never compromise.

LETTER EDITOR’S

This summer, while we’re witnessing the colossus AI wave coming for us, and feeling slightly uneasy, we have observed a return to classic design. Perhaps it’s a counter to what’s in the zeitgeist.

We know the bots are here, and getting smarter, thus we look to be comforted in our homes, and in design that is certain and stalwart.

I imagine that I would feel better asking ChatGPT to organize my weekly meal plan while seated in, say, a Biedermeier chair. All the better to be rooted in something sure and dependable.

For this issue, we take a closer look at old-fashioned things that are resurging: brick-and-mortar shops, traditional floorcloth textiles, the push for agricultural barns as adaptive reuse conversions, and a non-profit art and design center that pays craft forward. Collectively, these stories make us recognize that the more things change, the more we crave what has come before.

Finally, this issue celebrates our RED Awards, recognizing the best in residential design. A big congratulations to all of our winners!

COLLABORATION

Coastal cool spaces abound at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, where their extensive transformation includes newly designed guest cottages.

The resort partnered with Serena & Lily to furnish 21 two-bedroom retreats in the beloved brand’s signature tropical motifs. The living areas are swathed in Island Palm wallpaper, which harmonizes with wicker-weave Yarmouth swivel chairs, a rattan Anguilla coffee table as well as light-blue accessories like Isora pillow covers and an Edgewood rug.

Bedrooms are dressed in a breezy island style with Harbour Cane beds, rattan South Seas side carts and Avalon benches and imbued with elements like Brighton table lamps with wicker shades.

Patios are decked out with blue-and-white Eastport striped umbrellas that provide shade to their iconic Riviera French bistro chairs and Wainscott table—the perfect alfresco spot for soaking up the scenic surroundings. serenaandlily.com; pgaresort.com

BLUEPRINT OLARA

For those desiring covetable resort-style living in West Palm Beach, newcomer Olara will soon set an elevated precedence along the Intracoastal Waterway in 2026. Renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica conceived the 26-story condo tower along North Flagler Drive to seamlessly blend with its waterfront backdrop. “Differentiated by its unique curved corners and sleek glass design, the building’s street frontage is animated by a community-accessible commercial space that urbanizes the setting,” says Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founding principal of Arquitectonica, who collaborated with interior design studio Gabellini Sheppard Associates. Inspired by yacht architecture, residences will vaunt kitchens with Gaggenau appliances and spa-like bathrooms with oak vanities crowned with Breccia Capraia marble.

Owners can look forward to indulging in rich amenities such as a holistic sixth-floor suite, coastal restaurant, deluxe fitness center and spa, two pools and a residents-only marina. olarawestpalmbeach.com

TREASURE HUNT

DESIGN

GARY RUBINSTEIN ANTIQUES & MODERN DESIGN Antiquities titan Newel recently acquired Gary Rubinstein Antiques & Modern Design in Hollywood. This marks the 84-year-old company’s first venture in South Florida and opens up a world of possibilities beyond their already impressive inventory of more than 35,000 pieces. Read on as Newel’s CEO, Jake Baer, shares how the company’s storied past will continue to evolve with this new chapter. garyrubinsteinantiques.com

Unique to South Florida. Interior designers and clients will discover an incomparable range of antique and contemporary furniture and art, including modern and midcentury objects. Some of the notable designers include Gio Ponti, Paul Evans, Paolo Buffa and Jules Leleu, whose works are highly sought after as well as bespoke and contemporary pieces by Karl Springer and Hyunae Kang.

Significance of this procurement. By combining Newel’s expertise in traditional antiques with Gary Rubinstein’s focus on modern design, we have created a unique opportunity to source a broader range of exceptional pieces. Many items were never cataloged or shown to the public, so we’re in the process of indexing 1,000 unseen items, so they can be viewed for the first time. Surrounded by luxury estates, Hollywood is also a strategically ideal location to source new inventory.

Gallery showcases and inspiration. The space is curated in a way that highlights the value and beauty of each individual piece, while also showcasing how these items can be displayed together to create a particular and cohesive look. One of the distinctive features of the new location is the way that it mixes and matches contemporary works with antiques.

This provides patrons and designers an opportunity to create bespoke interiors that seamlessly blend old and new.

NEW IN TOWN AKIBA FURNITURE

Sustainability and nature are at the core of Akiba Furniture’s first U.S. location. Recently unveiled in Dania Beach, the Central African brand’s sprawling showroom is divided into distinct spaces that intentionally highlight their handmade natural wood products’ versatility for homes, offices, restaurants and hotels. The collection features live-edge table masterpieces, contemporary indoor and outdoor furniture, sculptures and artwork hailing from the brand’s home base of Gabon, Africa. Fashioned from a variety of species from the area’s old-growth rainforests, the selection ranges in color and texture to suit multiple styles. Working exclusively with ethically sourced and traceable wood, Akiba Furniture carries products made by artisans in Gabon that celebrate the region’s rich culture. akibafurniture.com

THE SUITE LIFE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MIAMI

SCENE

DESIGN

Slip into vacation mode at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, where refreshed guest rooms and suites boast touches of midcentury glamour, city-sleek sophistication and Miami flair. Known for creating a distinct sense of place, designer Tara Bernerd, of interior architectural firm Tara Bernerd & Partners, drew inspiration from the hotel’s surroundings in Brickell and beyond. “The neighborhood is a thrilling mixture of skyscraper-filled urbanism, yet it’s only minutes away from Biscayne Bay and the Miami River as well as just a short distance from the ocean. Our designs reflect this with a fresh mix of sophisticated playfulness that will appeal to guests,” Bernerd describes. Rooms are tailored with floor lights, dramatically elongated headboards, credenzas and benches enveloped in a pale palette that contrasts the bold carpets. Whimsical photography by Annelie Vandendael enlivens the spaces. Many rooms showcase a generous window seat fitted with cushions and blinds adorned with leather straps that help frame the stunning views. fourseasons.com/miami

DESIGN DUO Miami creatives, Art + Loom founder, Samantha Gallacher, and interior designer Bea Pernia, have combined their design superpowers to produce new collections for “The Art of Formation.” This joint installation, which appeared at Milan Design Week, explores the fascinating phenomenon of geological formations. Gallacher, who’s always been influenced by natural forms, designed four new handwoven rugs inspired by tectonic plate shifts, rock formations and shattered slate; while Pernia added two new sculptural furniture pieces made from marble and wood to her award-winning Atus collection.

“The Art + Loom rugs serve as a unifying foundation that ties together different furniture pieces and adds a sense of cohesion,” Pernia says.

“Meanwhile, the Atus collection elevates the visual interest of the space, adding depth and intrigue. Together, these elements create a harmonious balance that demonstrates the endless possibilities of design.” The collections are available online or at the designers’ individual showrooms. Both of whom have recently opened new locations in the Miami Design District. artandloom.com; beainteriorsdesign.com

SPEAKING

The agricultural barn has been a cornerstone of the American homestead image for centuries, long signifying principles of self-sufficiency and craftsmanship critical to the country’s evolution. In keeping with this spirit, a new push for adaptive reuse residential conversions is ensuring that these historic structures take on new life and remain relevant reminders of our shared past.

Interestingly, they offer a very modern canvas. “Today, people want to live without defining walls, and barns are perfectly suited to that with their great volume, openness and order,” muses architect Michael Neumann, who recently redeveloped an 1800s dairy farm barn into a striking private residence.

Her firm combined original materials from three other dismantled barns for added character and implemented concealed steel framing to bolster the structural integrity. “A timber frame is a beautiful form that allows for dramatic ceiling heights,” says Hendricks, adding that “the size, shape and scale creates a special opportunity for open plan living.”

The benefits of this typology are also informing the construction of new residences, as with designer Trinity Shay Roddam’s home in Nashville. “Centuriesold mortise and tenon joinery is one of the

strongest structures one can build,” notes Roddam, who ultimately decided on a barn for its durability, site appropriateness (the property was once a farm) and straightforward layout. “Having such a simple footprint really helps when it comes to stripping away the unnecessary and forces you to focus only on what is vital and livable.”

Still, beneath any notions of minimalism and modernity, the barn, with its patina and craftsmanship, is an undeniably nostalgic icon—as symbolic of our agricultural history as an ear of corn. As Roddam puts it, “The image of a barn takes me to a place where there is hard, quality work. When you touch a hand-hewn beam, even without much construction knowledge, you can recognize the quality of the material and the resolve that went into every cut.”

TRADITIONAL FLOORCLOTH TEXTILES ARE HAVING A RESURGENCE, AND THIS TIME AROUND THEY’RE ANYTHING BUT OLD-FASHIONED. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

The humble canvas floorcloth rose to fame in 18th-century England, but its practicality was soon embraced stateside, too. George Washington used them at Mount Vernon, and White House inventory records show Thomas Jefferson’s use of a “canvas floor cloth, painted green” in his dining room.

While they were a popular and inexpensive means of protecting floors, the arrival of even-cheaper linoleum in the 1860s heralded their demise. But thanks to a new crop of innovative creatives, floorcloths are returning with a fresh look.

“I love them as an alternative to a painted floor, especially in spaces where spills are inevitable like a bar, kitchen, or under a breakfast table, because they’re durable,” Lilse McKenna says.

The Connecticut-based designer has commissioned variations painted with wall stencils, as well as faux-marble designs for clients with period houses as “a little nod to their home’s history.”

(Early floorcloths were often handpainted to resemble parquetry or stone,

but intricately stenciled designs became equally favored.) “The bold patterns typical of floorcloths punctuate simple wood floors in a dramatic, yet timeless way—they add that ‘wow’ factor,” notes New Jersey–based designer Michael Aiduss, who recently used a checkerboard floorcloth for a client’s entryway.

At his New York City gallery, Culture Object, Damon Crain is encouraging makers to push the boundaries even farther. “We’re in a moment of reassessing floorcloth for its sustainability, but also for its creative potential,” he explains.

Two of the artists he represents, Mumbaiborn, New Jersey–based Neelam Padte and Megan Enright of Studio Teppi in Los Angeles, are exploring playful motifs in vibrant palettes. He likens Padte’s “gestural abstractions” to works by artist Paul Klee, and Enright’s hard-edge designs to the Pattern and Decoration movement of the 1970s and 1980s.

Enright, who grew up with treasured floorcloths made by her grandmother,

gravitated to the craft naturally but her process (stretching and priming the canvas, working with robust latex paints, and finishing the cloth with sealant and wax) is largely self-taught. “There weren’t many guides or tutorials, so I feel like a trailblazer,” Enright says. “Floorcloths can be washed with soapy water, or refinished as needed, but they last for decades and patina beautifully, like leather,” she adds.

“People want furnishings with a narrative now, and my goal is to revive interest with a new visual language so that floorcloth isn’t lost to history.”

“What we’re creating today matters for the future,” Crain remarks. “The execution of floorcloths is a creative aspect unlike most other flooring options, and they’re such an interesting way to do something expressive.” studioteppi.com, cultureobject.com

No matter how beautiful things are online, you still can’t touch or see them in person—I feel this is essential. Your other programming sounds interesting, too. We provide a teaching space to help customers discover the perfect pieces, and also offer workshops on varying artistic disciplines including still-life painting, chain stitching and calligraphy.

Creativity feels far from a quiet, staid affair inside Assembly House 150, a non-profit art, design and construction incubator mushrooming from a deconsecrated 19th-century Catholic church in Buffalo. The air hums thick with sawdust and the snarl of saws as students learn craftsmanship from artisans and master tradespeople—in a space that is part active workshop, part evergrowing art installation.

The building, like the program, “is a living, breathing hybrid space,” says founder and director Dennis Maher, an artist and architecture professor at University at Buffalo. Launched in 2014, Assembly House “brings together creative production and learning as an integrated whole.”

Regardless of experience, anyone from the local community can train for construction careers and explore

specialized crafts like plasterwork and stained glass fully funded. Classes in turn become experimental playgrounds.

Together, students and experts work to create Assembly House’s labyrinth of immersive art installations and off-site commissions. Upon graduation, students activate their newfound skills through a job placement program.

The experience offers “this wonderful intersection of practical application and art,” shares Frances Parson, a former student now working in custom cabinetry and historical restoration. “It was life changing for me, germinating the seed of confidence to move forward in this profession.” For volunteer instructors like stained glass artisan Kitty Mahoney of Revival Glassworks, the program too provides “an opportunity to play with

our craft, empowering craftspeople and artists to layer our ideas together for a community purpose.”

Weaving through the church’s naves, each installation embodies this fusion of disciplines, materials and techniques new and old: from intricate millwork, to the behemoth towers of Black Mass—a jigsaw sculpture altered by consecutive classes that houses a library and presentation space.

During their popular Second Saturdays tours, visitors can explore this madcap maze and a new limited line of furniture and objets d’art which also fuels the House’s legacy of craft. Every project feeds this collaborative continuum, and “that for me, is the ethos of Assembly House,” Maher adds. “A wonderful material and social unity.” assemblyhouse150.org

Innovative design and the transformative nature of light have the power to enrich lives. Such is the belief that has guided the forward-thinking minds at Lutron for more than 60 years. The ethos is visible in Lutron’s signature keypads, which control lighting integrated into the whole home with labels like Energize, Relax, Retreat and Entertain. Providing a quick, intuitive way to shift the feel, tone and energy of a space, this feature brings the experiential element of lighting to the forefront.

But the concept of working with the natural world lies at the helm, too. As the Lutron team says, “To make the best light control systems in the world, you need to control the best light source:

“Timelessness, simplicity, quality, authenticity— these words get bandied about, but to us, they’re a foundation at the root of our culture.”

the sun.” This thought has driven the brand toward green solutions, in which dimmers, occupancy sensors and automated shades work together to build sustainable, whole-home light management systems. The sun gets its due—and homeowners are naturally saving energy by living in tune with it.

THE CAPRI LEGACY Back in 1961, Lutron’s first product began to define the light control industry. The Capri rotary dimmer featured an ergonomic, minimalist design that was intuitive to use and had the power to transform the ambience and comfort of a space. Today, it resides in the Smithsonian and serves to showcase the longevity of Lutron’s commitment to beautiful, thoughtful lighting design that transforms how home is experienced.

AN INTELLIGENT FUTURE What will lighting look like in 50 years? Lutron believes it will be more beautiful, more personal and more intuitive.

Capable of learning from occupants’ preferences and habits, smart systems will be able to adjust light levels and color temperatures seamlessly, eliminating the need for homeowners to even contemplate the task, unless they want to ... the future is about customization.

Top Bring the day’s changing intensity and colors into the interior with Natural Show, which synchronizes Lutron’s lighting with sunlight’s daily rhythms.

Richard T. Anuszkiewicz, Creative Director Monogram monogram.com monogramappliances

THE POWER OF TWO Monogram’s Richard T. Anuszkiewicz and Keeler’s Knikki Kennedy Grantham on inspiration, design and collaboration.

A LUXURY KITCHEN REVOLUTION When Monogram and the Keeler Brass Company joined forces, the two iconic brands delivered an unprecedented level of artistry, detail and innovation to Monogram’s Designer Collection that is disrupting the luxury appliance space and elevating today’s kitchens to new heights. Designed in partnership with Richard T. Anuszkiewicz, this world-class collaboration created the industry’s first-ever custom 96-inch-high refrigeration panels—Monogram’s unparalleled panel that stretches floor to ceiling—as well as custom hoods, knobs, handles and hardware, resulting in highlypersonalized and sophisticated appliances that are taking the design community and style-savvy consumers by storm.

Describe the philosophy that inspires the Monogram Designer Collection?

“The heart of the Designer Collection is to bring thought-provoking products that meet the wants, needs and visions of today’s homeowners to market,” Anuszkiewicz shares. “That ideal has been the impetus for unique design innovations like refrigerators that reach 96 inches in height. With taller ceilings becoming the norm in many homes, these models provide a better, more proportional fit than an 84-inch refrigerator. Similarly, our consumers are seeking something more impactful in their finishes and materials, so we’ve created a true luxury experience by incorporating world-class workmanship and innovation into this collection.”

Share your latest inspirations.

“Hyperphysical experiences,” says Kennedy Grantham. “With hardware being the thing we touch most on all case goods, the tactile element is so important. With that in mind, we spend a lot of time executing the proper feel to even the underside of hardware. This may seem like an afterthought, but it is a very important measure in design.”

What’s motivating you right now?

“Creating new products has always been a dream and goal of mine, and

Knikki Kennedy Grantham, Creative Director Keeler Brass Company keelerbrasscompany.com keelerbrasscompany

with the launch of the Designer Collection, I’m very much of the ‘what’s next’ mindset,” Anuszkiewicz enthuses. “I’m currently putting a lot of energy into that, which is very inspiring and fulfilling to me.”

What constitutes good design?

“The fundamental principles of balance, proportion and scale can be applied to any facet of design, from the pen you’re writing with to the shape of a building,” Kennedy Grantham explains. “Those principles make an impression on everyone because they evoke emotions and instill powerful design into everyday life. The merging of Richard’s design philosophy with the legacy, innovation and craftsmanship of Monogram and Keeler Brass Company has brought about a product line that is like no other.”

How do you stay abreast of trends while remaining true to Monogram’s personality? “I task myself with discovering what’s relevant and has longevity,” Anuszkiewicz adds. “Being a student of design has instilled a habit in me of paying attention to tactile items while living, traveling, observing or inventing so that I can try to bring things forward that are either underrepresented or unavailable in the marketplace. Focusing on spaces and products through an architectural, material and furniture-focused lens is a unique approach that marries my vision with Monogram’s mission. These three things make my work and Monogram’s products stand out in a crowd.”

Soft to the touch, Luam Melake’s saturated urethane and polyurethane foam furniture is inspired by positions that encourage social engagement. Perched here on the Listening Chair, Melake, who studied architecture at UC Berkeley, views a piece’s functionality as a way of expressing wishes for the future, namely one where digital distractions are few and personal interactions are cherished. Based in Harlem, New York, the senior materials researcher at Parsons came upon her unique material through trial and error. “I set out to create a sort of permanent upholstery for soft sculpture that could last for decades, while also being non-toxic nor requiring restoration.” luammelake.com, r-and-company.com

LOOKING AHEAD

Plaster is Hannah Bigeleisen’s medium of choice. “I think about it as an alternative to ceramics—it’s additive and subtractive, endlessly modifiable and virtually indestructible,” says Bigeleisen, who was introduced to the material as an undergraduate at the Cleveland Institute of Art (she later earned an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design). Outdoor-friendly pieces like the vibrant Bluetta Chair and Lily, Clover and Margueritte Tables—the latter of which are inspired by petal and leaf formations found in nature—come to life in her Brooklyn studio. Bigeleisen adds cotton pulp to her plaster mixture for added texture and reinforcement, while artist-made paint colors are mixed and applied to thoughtfully complement each design. Playful and fresh, she credits fellow designers’ break from tradition as a boost of confidence in pushing her practice forward. hbigeleisen.com

Whether Emmett Moore is experimenting with materials or exploring the dialogue between art and design (of which he believes objects exist on a spectra, and the most interesting things are difficult to label), curiosity, resourcefulness and fluidity are central themes at play in his Miami studio. Case in point: the Bay Rag chair made from layers of secondhand t-shirts, epoxy and automotive paint—inspiration for the process was culled from the maritime industry—utilizes readily available, unexpected materials thanks to the port city’s apparel import industry. “The t-shirt became the perfect standard unit of measurement, like a two-by-four or a sheet of plywood, and a nice anthropometric unit to base the work,” Moore says. “The sizes of t-shirts relates directly to the human body as do dimensions in furniture.” emmettmoore.com

REGALLY REPURPOSED

After years working in fashion, Sam Klemick turned to woodworking as a creative outlet. The hobby ultimately transformed into a fullfledged business in response to fashion’s wasteful overproduction. Today, Klemick strives to source discarded materials, which, in turn, influences the direction of her work. But in the end, the Los Angeles designer wants people to respond to what resonates with them. “I hope furniture design continues to diversify and show individual points of view,” Klemick says. “It doesn’t have to be quirky and colorful or muted and round to be relevant.” Klemick, pictured at LA Woodshop where she handcrafts wooden components, is seated on the Ebony Cutie Stool made of salvaged Douglas fir. She is flanked by a soap and lye version and the Pinwheel Nap Chair—all of which are topped with deadstock canvas. studiosamklemick.com, lawoodshop.com

part in our shared story. Citing recent events like the pandemic, the creative regards comfort as a driving force behind his designs. “We are asking more from our homes,” Teague says.

“The answer lies in the things we live with—the multifunctionality and beauty of objects.” Photographed in his studio, the Art Institute of Chicago alum stands beside his blue Sinmi Stool and red Africana Chair. Made of basswood, the stool is inspired by the bentwood tradition of 1930s furniture maker Isokon, while the chair represents the resilience of the African American experience. For Teague, making furniture isn’t just a creative process, but a way to communicate a Black presence and provide a platform for local talent. normanteaguedesignstudios.com

Column Confidential

AIR FILTR ATIO N Air purification filters remove the ethylene gas released by expiring foods to keep ingredients fresher and longer lasting.

What are columns? They are all-refrigerator, all-freezer or wine preservation towers that can be installed together or separately.

How do they benefit the homeowner? Columns can be mixed and matched based on design, space and capacity needs for fresh and frozen foods as well as wine.

Why are columns so popular with wine lovers?

Columns allow wine lovers to proudly display their bottles in a custom arrangement.

Why are columns recommended for small spaces?

Delivering a large refrigerator/freezer to a small space can be challenging. Because columns ship separately and install either together or apart—depending on your design—they provide an elegant and efficient solution.

CO NNECTIVITY Smart refrigerators do more than keep food cold, they allow you to stay connected via your smartphone or home automation device.

smart design Pioneering technology and thoughtful engineering make today’s luxury refrigerators ingenious, economical and environmentally friendly.

First introduced to the consumer market in 1927, the refrigerator went on to become the heart of the family kitchen over the next century. But it wasn’t until recently that this all-important appliance began its amazing evolution from a latter-day icebox to a resourceful and innovative tool that assists us in our quest to live better, eat healthier and lead more sustainable lives.

Thanks to advanced engineering, today’s luxury refrigerators and freezers offer myriad functions such as dual refrigeration, humidity and climate control and air filtration systems that reduce food waste by creating ideal conditions for preserving the shelf-life and flavors of specific foods. There are also water filtration systems that provide pure drinking water and crystal clear ice, as well as Energy Star-rated models that go above and beyond federally mandated standards to help save energy and money.

Meanwhile, the latest smart technology has turned the family fridge into a high-tech helper and information hub.

Able to communicate with our phones, tablets and home automation devices, refrigerators equipped with smart systems allows us to instantly control temperature, monitor performance and diagnostics, keep an eye on the freshness and integrity of our food, and audit our inventory so that we can plan meals and order what we want and need, all with the touch of a button.

THE GREEN LIGHT From saving energy and preserving food to promoting health and wellness, these groundbreaking features are green gamechangers.

P A R T N E R S H I P

tech talk Refrigerators that incorporate smart technology make it possible to instantly control a number of functions and features through an app on your phone, tablet or other device.

Designer/LED lighting provides beautiful, luminous, energyefficient light in both the refrigerator and the freezer.

Internal water dispensers provide access to fresh, filtered water while blending seamlessly into the design.

Some models feature autofill pitchers, so transporting water to the table is a breeze. And hot water features supply the precise amount and temperature required for a recipe or a cup of tea without having to turn on the range.

Electronic temperature controls maintain the right temperature and humidity levels to maximize energy efficiency and preserve food.

Climate-controlled bins allow for more specific temperature and humidity control that is tailored to foodstuffs stored in each compartment.

Wi-Fi capabilities mean that features like temperature and humidity control and diagnostic issues can be handled remotely, saving both energy and perishables.

Special preservation systems that protect and preserve perishable foods for up to three times longer than standard units can be found in a number of luxury models.

Featured: Miele MasterCool Series 24-Inch Refrigerator Column SKU: K2612VI

The Most In-Demand: These smart assets include controls that make it possible to produce more ice; remotely adjust the temperature in your refrigerator and freezer; take advantage of vacation mode’s substantial energy savings; respond to push notification warnings when a door is left open; and utilize remote diagnostics features that identify when a filter needs to be changed or of a potential service issue.

The Bells and Whistles: These high-tech enhancements include features that allow you to synch your calendar with your smart fridge; have a remote look inside when planning menus, taking inventory or compiling grocery lists. And for remodelers with multiple residences, smart refrigerators offer true peace of mind—especially for wine collectors seeking long-term storage of their favorite vintages.

STAR QUALITY To earn the ENERGY STAR® title, a refrigerator or freezer must use a minimum of 10-percent less energy than the federally-mandated standards. To achieve this, ENERGY STAR®certified units contain high-efficiency compressors that create less heat and are more energy efficient, enhanced insulation that retains cold and preserves food, tightly sealed gaskets that keep cold air in and warm air out, and temperature and defrost mechanisms that ensure maximum operating performance.

the wine list Five things to consider about wine refrigeration.

1. Most wine refrigerators have one or two temperature zones, while taller wine columns can have up to three.

Finding a unit with the right number of zones is the key to keeping your reds, whites, roses and sparkling wines at their optimal temperature.

2. Because sunlight can cause wine to age prematurely, it is best to purchase a wine refrigerator with UV-protected glass.

4. Wine refrigerators with humidity controls keep corks from drying out, which helps preserve the flavor and composition of wines.

3. Storing wine at a consistent temperature is another way to stop premature aging, so look for models with reliable temperature controls.

5. Vibration can negatively affect the tannins in wine, so consider models that offer the greatest stability.

SMALL , BUT MIGHTY Under-counter refrigerators bring big function to small spaces.

While counter-depth and column refrigerators are optimal in a small kitchen, compact condo or snug cottage, under-counter units can be the perfect choice for a wet bar, guest house, in-law suite or home office. Not only do they free up space in the main refrigerator, but they allow

guests easy access to snacks, cool drinks and ice.

And the fact that under-counter refrigerators, wine coolers, ice makers and drawer units combine forward-thinking features with low-key design means that they make a big impact while conserving space and preserving the view.

“Our products are ideal for smart homes because they’re made from sustainable materials and are very low-maintenance.”

president of Urbanik Surfaces, Dionathan Rivero has made it his firm’s mission to deliver superior surfaces that meet these lofty goals. “We design and manufacture high-end wood flooring, decking and batten cladding for the facade that is not only functional, but is also sustainably sourced and made,” he says. “This is our way of ensuring a healthy home environment while providing our clients with outstanding quality.” Another appealing aspect of Urbanik’s products is their durability. “The fact that we are located in Florida means that we conceive and construct our surfaces to withstand the harshest climate conditions, including heat, humidity and hurricaneforce winds, using the cleanest and most renewable materials available anywhere.”

GOODBYE UPKEEP WOES Rivero talks all things improvement, innovation—and maintenance-free.

• How do you make homeowners’ lives easier and more efficient? Our Covet products, made in Japan, are essentially a maintenance-free alternative to natural wood battens and cladding. The Brazilianinspired modern architecture of concrete, glazing and timber batten detailing is a staple in many architectural practices—especially in warmer climates. But natural wood battens require detailed, time-consuming maintenance, including resealing every one or two years.

Otherwise, it will twist, bend, split and develop mold. Covet takes all of that out of the equation!

• How frequently is the innovation in your industry changing? New technologies are enhancing the possibilities regularly.

Aluminum does not aggressively corrode and is suited to coastal environs. Advanced coating technology provides excellent exterior performance while offering the latest colors and textures.

Designers love the wide range of aluminum cladding systems in the Covet collection, all of which offer Japanese realistic timber that delivers the look of real grain battens and panels, come in unique metallic finishes that possess excellent exterior-grade properties, which are virtually maintenance-free, and are fire-test compliant for maximum safety.

ZOE FELDMAN For a D.C.-based client with a beautiful 1910 Beau Arts brownstone, designer Zoe Feldman needed to transform a dark garden level kitchen into a bright and livable space. With light now pouring through the room, Feldman could then focus on creating an area to be savored.

There are so many interesting details. Where did you start?

We wanted to modernize the kitchen while retaining this historic home’s classic feel. Our goal was to infuse the space with some unexpected moments without making it feel too saturated.

We landed on a subtle palette of grays and walnut surfaces with a moment for the jewel-toned range.

What was important to the clients for this space? We try to create solutions tailored to each client’s lifestyle. The homeowners don’t cook very often, but they wanted a beautiful space to dine.

We took advantage of an existing curved wall and transformed it into an intimate dining area. We added pop-up outlets so it can dually function as a workspace.

Overall, what makes a good kitchen? A good kitchen is a workhorse. I subscribe to the belief that you can have a beautiful kitchen without being precious about maintenance. Knicks and stains are part of the charm of a great kitchen—I cut things directly on my marble countertops. Europeans have always done this; we just need to catch up! zoefeldmandesign.com The space features Calacatta marble countertops from GLB Tile & Marble Co., a Waterworks sink and faucet, an Ilve range and clé backsplash tile. A Jamb pendant hangs above the banquette while the island is illuminated by an Urban Electric Co. fixture. Designer Zoe Feldman collaborated on the gut renovation with architecture firm Outerbridge Horsey Associates and builder McFarland Woods.

Talk to us about the palette. The clients showed me inspiration images of blue kitchens, so that was our starting point. We found the perfect shade—Benjamin Moore’s Van Courtland Blue—that acts as a neutral and goes with everything. It’s lighthearted, fun and colorful without being too much. To break it up, we added a cherry cabinet that coordinates with the flooring.

How do the two islands function? It’s a long room, so the space called for two islands. One long island would have cut off the circulation of the room. We actually widened the kitchen by two feet to accommodate them. One is for prep and storage and another for seating.

Are coffee stations popular? Yes, people are requesting dedicated breakfast pantries that can double as a cocktail bar. Here, we installed closed storage that includes drawers for tea, snacks, silverware and vegetables. studiodearborn.com

How are you pushing yourself when it comes to kitchen design?

I’m thinking through the busy pace of a client’s life, including how their children will use the kitchen, so they can learn how to be more independent in the space. A kind of Montessori-inspired approach.

Here, it was important to include multiple water sources for everyone to stay hydrated and fill up their own water bottles. The kids even have their own area to prepare food.

How did you decide on materials for the island? The island is used for informal meals, so we chose to treat it as a piece of furniture and make it feel different stylistically. The oak is topped with soapstone, which ties in with the dark window frames. reganbakerdesign.com

A PERFECT MARRIAGE Maximalism and minimalism collide with stunning results in a new abode for art-loving homeowners.

W R I T T E N BY K A M A L A N A I R P H O T O G R A P H Y BY K R I S TA M B U R E L LO S T Y L I N G BY P E G G Y C H A S E J O R DAO

Interior Design: Nicole White, Nicole White Designs Interiors Home Builder: Jason Bush and Antonio Fernandez, NJM Builders Inc.

With soaring windows overlooking the pool, the living area includes a pair of sofas covered in Artefacto green velvet, a graphic upholstered bench from Currey & Company and an Interlude Home cocktail table. The artwork is by Mario Gerth.

W

hen designer Nicole White put the finishing touches on an artfilled condo in a South Florida high-rise, she was sure the job was done. After all, her clients were thrilled with the results. But not long after the project was completed, White received a call from the couple, who were having second thoughts.

As much as they loved the design, they found themselves longing for more space to host friends and family—and had decided to upgrade to a sprawling private residence.

The significantly larger house in Pinecrest would require new acquisitions as well as the reimagining of existing pieces—and White knew exactly where to start. “The clients are avid collectors, and big supporters of Black artists, especially. It was beautiful to design a home where art is so appreciated and valued. We knew we could build a whole story around their collection once again,” she says.

A large part of that story meant honoring the disparate styles of the husband and wife—she loves bold design, while he prefers minimalism.

But unlike the condo, whose spatial constraints had called for a more neutral approach, the sheer size of the new home gave White, aided by general contractor Jason Bush and project supervisor Antonio Fernandez, more leeway to incorporate the two styles into the renovation.

To create a moment of pure drama in the living area, the designer found a stunning slab of green-streaked marble for the fireplace surround, complemented by a tight edit of streamlined furnishings. A grouping of soaring chandeliers offers another thrilling moment, while at the same time artistically bringing down the ceiling, fostering a feeling of intimacy.

The call for drama also presented the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the couple’s more spectacular works of art. A striking statue by Woodrow Nash greets guests near the entryway, while an elaborate beaded wood necklace holds court on a nearby wall.

With a juxtaposition of grand gestures and quieter moments at the front of the house, White knew the rest of the rooms needed to similarly rise to the occasion. In a petite bathroom, she chose a wallcovering featuring lush foliage as a nod to the wife’s glamorous tastes, with a more muted floating vanity providing soft balance. And in the kitchen, boldly marbleized counters pop against neutral cabinetry. While the original kitchen featured two islands, White removed the second in favor of a large central one in order to better accommodate the owners’ many parties and charity events. “They wanted a drink trough in the island to put bottles in and for folks to gather around,” she adds.

Creating an inviting space for visitors also informed the design of the guesthouse. “I wanted anyone staying here to really feel as if they’re on vacation,” White notes. Inspired by a recent trip to Tulum, Mexico, where she became “obsessed with the abundance of texture,” the designer chose a distinctive palm-print wallpaper for both the bedroom and breakfast area. “When I saw that pattern, I thought, ‘This feels like the outdoors to me.’ It was perfect.” Still, the soft palette keeps the atmosphere serene.

For her personal office, however, the wife was ready to fully stake her maximalist claim.

“She sent me a whole design book on how far she wanted this to go. She wanted a ‘more is more’ approach,” White recalls of her client’s vision. They initially settled on a moody green palette to play off the living room, but when the wife saw—and fell in love with—the “mom cave” White designed in her own home, featuring bold, black-painted walls, she requested a similar look. A bright-pink tufted sofa became the room’s centerpiece with a graphic rug underfoot and sculptural light fixture overhead, tying the space together.

“As a designer, you have to listen to your clients and not get caught in the middle,” White explains.

Yet, she also understands the persuasive powers of a fabulous design. The husband, for example, was not enthusiastic about the concept for his wife’s office initially. “But now,” White laughs, “he hangs out in there all the time.”

With nods to their clients’ Norwegian roots, a design team personalizes this spirited new dwelling.

Framed by Canary Island date palms, the home’s exterior features understated nautical details, including a round window and shutters painted Sherwin-Williams’ Debonair. Sconces and a hanging lantern, all by Coastal Copper, illuminate the front door.

T

he most memorable houses convey a strong impression of the people who live within them, reflecting their owners’ interests, enthusiasms and heritage in details large and small. So, it’s no wonder that this bespoke, newly constructed residence is the talk of its South Florida neighborhood: It perfectly mirrors the lucky couple that calls it home.

This is true beginning from the exterior.

Conceived by architect Mitchell E. Miller, the structure, with its extended eaves, sky-blue shutters, creamy façade and shingled roof, projects a coastal sheen that nods to the seaside locale. That impression is underlined by its shipshape construction, courtesy of general contractor Dan Wilberding, who took his clients’ wishes for a solar energy system and heated bathroom floors (both typical of homes in their native Norway, but less so for residences in Hobe Sound), and meticulously delivered.

Meanwhile, oversize sliding glass doors chosen to erase the boundary between indoors and out, give way to gardens thoughtfully designed by landscape architect Steve Parker. Catering to the homeowners’ active lifestyle, the property boasts a pool, sauna, bocce court and its own putting green. And, in tribute to their favorite colors, Parker emphasized blues and reds in his composition, dotting the hues around the lush landscape via dwarf ixora, red-tipped cocoplum, flame-red bougainvillea and plumbago auriculata, to name a few.

When it came to the interiors, designers Jackie Armour, Taylor Ehrlund and Eden Tepper similarly let the couple’s go-to palette lead the way. “They love red, white and blue,” echoes Armour, noting that the wife is rarely seen without cerulean polish on her nails. The hurdle was incorporating these colors—which compose Norway’s flag as well as the United States’—into the decor without tipping over into Americana territory. The team’s solution? Clad the entire intricate living room millwork program (walls; trim; ceilings; built-ins) in the same nuanced shade, thereby avoiding any stars-and-stripessuggestive contrast. They settled on a tranquil gray-blue that channels the weathered, painted

wood tones seen in traditional Scandinavian interiors in the subtlest of fashions.

This same cool, steely hue envelops the adjoining kitchen, transforming the workhorse space into a perfectly elegant partner for the living room. “Because they made it clear they were not color adverse,” Armour says, “at one of our first meetings, I asked if we could be bold and not have a completely white kitchen. And they said, ‘Yes, we would prefer it.’ That was really the starting point, and our design emerged from there.” Adds Ehrlund: “They were very open-minded to almost every idea we suggested. They didn’t flinch at anything.”

The designers’ choice to wash the space in a single, subdued tone also provided the perfect foil for a generous dose of lipstick red as the accent layer. Witness the living room, where crimson threads through the draperies and throw pillows, skips across the accessories displayed in the builtin cabinetry shelves and commands attention in the custom-tinted glass tops of the cocktail tables. At the same time, judicial dollops of dark blue (see: the living room sofa; the painted wood dining table; the husband’s office walls), provide additional grounding for even bolder moments of red throughout, like the guest quarter’s fire engine-hued spool beds and the powder room’s floating vanity replete with ruby lacquer.

The distinctively vibrant framework also allowed the designers to layer in playful patterns, from exuberant botanicals to whimsical toiles to nostalgic marine scenes. A flurry of small and delicate prints on textured weaves rounds out the mix, offering yet another homage to the couple’s roots. “These elements feel artisanal and vaguely Scandinavian,” Armour notes, pointing to details like the dining chairs’ charming mix of dainty floral and ticking stripe upholstery.

Of course, all of this design wizardry is made possible by the Florida setting, flooded with light, air and tropical foliage. “The views and greenery also work to neutralize what’s happening inside,” says Armour, who recognizes the precise alchemy required for this thoroughly custom home.

“Builders call this kind of project an autobiography in sticks and bricks,” reflects Wilberding, adding, “I think that is the real success of this house. It is a true reflection of the owners.”

Common Thread A textile artist weaves a sense of time and place into her prismatic quilts.

WRITTEN BY MONIQUE MCINTOSH P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y M A R Y B E T H KO E T H

S

ome American stories are never written. Instead, they are quilted deep into fabric and batting. Generations of female artisans—often nameless and unseen—have stitched their lives into patchwork patterns, a legacy Regina Durante Jestrow honors by weaving her own voice into this American tradition. Her geometric quilts are laden with memories, incorporating found materials and hand-dyed fabrics. This art form offers “a different way of thinking about the past,” she describes, “constructing your own story from what already exists in the world.”

Playing with historical quilt motifs, like the classic log cabin and triangle, satisfied the artist’s career-long fascination with geometry.

“I keep finding new ways to tell distinct stories, creating new feelings and effects with the same patterns,” says Jestrow, who fills countless sketchbooks with potential configurations. From a studio space in her home, she uses a sewing machine to stitch her final composition directly onto muslin, juxtaposing various textures and adding visual depth by layering sheer materials or padding segments with stuffing. More than pure exercises in line and form, the fabrics introduce layers of the past. “They have a history to them,” she observes. “Patterns, textiles and colors can remind people of their mother’s curtains or grandmother’s tablecloths.”

Fellow Miamians may recognize their hometown in Jestrow’s recent series, “Pieces of the Landscape,” shown at Mount Sinai Medical Center’s Skolnick Surgical Tower. “I wanted to make a portrait of Miami using materials that translate our experiences into geometric pieces,” the artist says. Conjuring her early years in the city, she hunted local shops for secondhand party clothes in gold neoprene, sequins, acid-wash denim and silks.

These fragments are interwoven with fabrics dyed by hand using locally foraged elements.

There’s South Florida’s lush flora in deep browns extracted from black olive trees, the sunset oranges of annatto seeds, the pale pinks of avocado pits, and the earthy reds of Shiboristyle prints made from rusty metals. Whether hung like tapestries or stretched over frames, the final works capture Miami’s contradictions, its neon electricity and natural wildness.

It’s a poignant reminder that all quilts, in the end, are for remembrance—a thread that ties the present to people and places, long after they are gone.

Colorful threads (left) and sketches (below) await their transformation into mesmeric quilts in the studio of textile artist Regina Durante Jestrow (opposite). A recent work is composed of hand-dyed fabric fragments (bottom).

eeking perpetual summer, designer Sara McCann’s clients left behind the fog and moody enchantment of San Francisco for a fresh start in South Florida.

With their new home as a blank slate, the couple desired a dramatic reset reflective of the sunny locale. “The homeowners wanted to bring in a lot of bright colors and textures for an indooroutdoor feel,” recalls designer Breanne Castillo, who worked alongside McCann on the project.

When it came to refreshing the Palm Beach residence, the couple initially envisioned solely renovating the kitchen and primary suite in addition to painting and updating the flooring.

Yet, they soon realized a complete overhaul was necessary to achieve a cohesive aesthetic with the help of residential designer Caroline Forrest and general contractor Todd Cury.

“We collaborated to create a bright palette and as much volume, space and organization so the designers could highlight rooms with colors and textures,” Forrest explains. They refinished the hardwood flooring in a whitewash stain and revamped the kitchen with features such as white cabinetry, a large island and shiplap paneling on the ceiling, mirroring the nearby family area. As for the private spaces, they elevated the primary bathroom with touches like marble flooring and countertops and decreased the size of the primary bedroom to create a feature the homeowners coveted: expansive his-and-her closets. “There’s not one thing in the house that didn’t get touched— but when you walk in, you can’t tell there’s been a major renovation,” Cury observes.

McCann and Castillo established feel-good vibes from the outset by splashing the front door of the white exterior in a punchy lacquered coral.

Once inside, each space reveals its own energetic color story. “We like to have one jumping-off point by room,” McCann says. In the living and dining areas, for instance, the inspiration was a shell-pink fabric chosen for the sofas—a shade the wife requested on replicating for the surrounding walls, millwork and ceiling. “By painting the pale pink on every surface, she definitely pushed us out of our comfort zone,” Castillo acknowledges.

“However, the color is subtle enough that your

eye isn’t drawn away from the furnishings and accessories, so everything gets to have its own moment against the calming backdrop.”

Reflecting a duality between Palm Beach inspiration and sophisticated touches, the designers outfitted the living area with elements such as pink and green textiles, an abaca area rug and rattan chairs. They then echoed the tropical refinement in the dining area with circular rattan lighting above a softly rounded wood table.

Also driving the color narrative is a floral print in a reddish-coral, green and yellow palette that swaths the primary bedroom’s window treatments and pillows. “You see the same colors woven throughout the home, but they’re used differently,” Castillo notes, pointing to the coralhued materials on the kitchen’s counter stools and the family area’s deep sectional. Green, meanwhile, shows up most vividly in the powder room, where the designers enveloped the walls in an iconic banana leaf-print wallpaper and, in a daring twist, lacquered the millwork and vanity for a jewel-box feel.

Coastal tones define the husband’s library, home to patterned draperies and modern geometric artwork set against walls wrapped in a pale, woven paper. “He’s a huge fan of blue, so it started with the drapery color, and then he found the artwork,” McCann explains. “We kept the wallcovering neutral so the art and fabrics could pop.” What also stands out is a sentimental item occupying the desk: a vintage hula dancer lamp the husband found in Hawaii years ago that has made every move with the family. “It’s a nod to our love of tropical living—a talisman that one day we’d be living in a sunny place,” the wife muses.

Naturally, the outdoor areas also deserved their own refresh, orchestrated by landscape designer Keith Williams. Surrounding the refinished pool, spaces are dotted with bright bougainvillea that crawls up the house. “The gardens are kept very simple to create a sense of depth,” Williams describes, “and the bougainvillea provides a magnificent element of color.”

All of this results in a tropical oasis worthy of a vibrant, new beginning in Palm Beach. “I’m just delighted with it,” the wife says. “I go around and sit in different areas of the house and pick out special touches I love.”

“The homeowners wanted to bring in a lot of bright colors and textures for an indoor-outdoor feel.”

The family room off the kitchen reveals ample notes of rope and sisal, including a Robert James Collection buffet, a Fibreworks rug, Arteriors floor lamps and a Palecek pendant and string chair. A custom sectional carries through the coral color story.

The artist’s work also presides behind a Mr. Brown London desk and RH chair.

Opposite: An extension of the living room, the dining area boasts the same hue—Benjamin Moore’s Shell Pink at 50 percent—on the walls. A Soane Britain pendant hangs above a Keith Fritz dining table surrounded by A. Rudin chairs. The artwork is Garry Fabian Miller.

The vanity is lacquered in Benjamin Moore’s Raleigh Green, replete with inset caning, a Calacatta Gold marble top and an unlacquered-brass Waterworks tap.

Left: Layers of pattern, including Brunschwig & Fils’ Les Touches wallpaper and throw pillows covered in a John Robshaw fabric, enliven a guest room. The scalloped bed is a custom design, while the nightstands topped with Visual Comfort & Co. lamps are Made Goods.

A fleet of chaises and an outdoor lounge area all feature crisp white Brown Jordan furnishings, which echo the exterior architecture.

The dining table and chairs are Dedon, and the floor lanterns are from Hive Home, Gift & Garden.
