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.

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.”

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

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

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

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

EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE

Architecture: Marcelo A. Gonzalez, Gonzalez Architects Interior Design: Katie Davis, Katie Davis Design Home Builder: Bryan Vaughn, Wolf Remodeling & Construction

W

ith three young kids, a pair of large dogs and two cats, one Houston couple enjoys a life brimming with abundance.

However, the closeknit brood began to feel hemmed in when it came to space, and they dreamed of having enough room to bring everyone they love together. “They really wanted a house that would both allow their family to feel comfortable and welcome guests,” says interior designer Katie Davis, a LUXE Next In Design 99 honoree. After they found a promising candidate in this rambling midcentury ranchstyle residence, they called on the designer to have a look. She quickly cosigned on its creative potential, recognizing the raw possibility of its generous rooms and soaring ceilings. As part of an early suburb constructed in the 1950s, “Homes here were originally built on several acres, some even with horses,” Davis muses. “And today, you still get that comforting, country-house vibe.”

The designer channeled this relaxed ease, imagining a family homestead that felt “traditional yet comfortable,” she explains. “This is a house meant to be lived in.” Joining builder Bryan Vaughn, Davis reconsidered everything from the ground up, starting with the millwork.

To gracefully welcome visitors inside, paneled walls, columns and crown molding adorn reception areas like the all-white foyer. “As you go through the house, however, the molding becomes simpler,” Davis notes. It’s as though the home drops architectural formalities as one gains greater intimacy with the interiors.

This approachability is evident elsewhere in the form of engineered hardwood floors carefully distressed in a kiln. Moreover, richly grained white oak panels line the kitchen’s peaked ceilings, stained a caramel brown to emphasize “that white oak warmth,” describes Davis, whose team included designer Mary Kate Carl and design assistant Anna Shirley. In fact, you’ll find finishes like these throughout “that will gain a natural patina the minute you use them,” the designer notes, pointing to the mudroom’s terracotta tiles as well as the kitchen’s unlacqueredbrass hardware and aged-brick fireplace. “We wanted this house to feel loved and lived in, something those natural products help achieve.”

A similar blend of gentility and nonchalance defines the furniture plan. Davis juxtaposed grand antiques with modern silhouettes and traditionally upholstered pieces with playful patterns. This is notable in the dining room, where antique Louis XVI-style commodes mingle with a farmhouse-style table and wicker dining chairs—all against the backdrop of a bold floral wallpaper. A Davis signature, this adept layering of patterns also filters into the vast window-lined great room, which was conceptualized by Vaughn and architect Marcelo A. Gonzalez. Here, skirted English-style armchairs pair with boxy sofas, enlivened with a cheeky blend of checks, florals, stripes and paisleys. At the same time, bedroom schemes were tweaked to suit the individual: An eclectic mix of pastel gingham and graphic flowers for the daughters and matching floral draperies and pillows for the parents.

The designer carefully considered not only the family’s aesthetic tastes but also its more routine needs. As a result, storage proves equally beautiful and practical—from the mudroom’s pale gray lockers for wet boots and jackets to the primary en suite’s illuminated vanity with enclosed shelving.

“We always make sure we understand where everything goes,” Davis explains, “whether it’s the everyday Tupperware or the baking pan that’s only used once a year on Christmas.”

Rooms also cater to various forms of gathering.

“I love creating spaces where a family can assemble outside of the great room,” Davis says. The home’s original dining room, for example, was transformed into a debonair library paneled in rich white oak.

Plush blue armchairs huddle around a carved Nero marble fireplace, providing “a more intimate setting where the couple can invite their friends. It’s geared a little bit more for the adults to hang out,” the designer continues. In contrast, the children have claimed the game room as their personal fort, which was by design with its oversize ottoman and pillowy custom sectional. “Quite literally the moment after we installed it, the kids were jumping and lounging all over it,” Davis recalls with a laugh.

The whole family now has more than enough room for domestic sprawl. They diligently fill every corner with laughter and the pitter-patter of feet (both the two- and four-legged kind). “They are just the kindest and most loving people,” Davis shares.

“And the house speaks to that. You walk in and immediately feel their warmth.”

Family-friendly charm underscores every inch of this Houston home. Visible through double doors by Sierra Pacific Windows, the mudroom boasts terra-cotta tile flooring from Material and custom storage in Sherwin-Williams’ Magnetic Gray.

Into the Woods The thoughtful edit of a Hamptons hideaway makes the most of its fairy-tale setting.

W R I T T E N BY A LY S S A B I R D | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY J O S H U A M C H U G H

W

hen Manhattanites Carol Han Pyle and Nick Pyle started looking for a weekend getaway, they were pulled in two different directions. “We love the Catskills, but have always been drawn to the East End,” Carol shares.

But as soon as the couple laid their eyes on this secluded East Hampton residence replete with towering white oaks, mossy knolls and bluestone steps leading to a sunken emerald pool, the choice was clear.

“It’s an interesting site and a bit of a marriage between the two places,” notes designer Sarah Sargeant, who, along with partner Risa Emen— both LUXE Next In Design 99 honorees—was tasked with bringing a fresh point of view to the interiors. Having previously designed Carol’s New York City offices, their firm was well versed in the couple’s taste and excited to bring a similarly posh sensibility to their vacation home—this time, with a woodsy Hamptons twist.

That brief kicked off with tailoring the architectural canvas. Built in the early 1990s and lovingly cared for by its original owners, the existing house was in great shape but begging for an aesthetic update. Opening up choice rooms (see: the tight, L-shaped kitchen) and removing dated architectural features (such as a second-floor catwalk) introduced a modern, streamlined feel that allows for the home’s immersive fenestration to be enjoyed from every alcove. Bathrooms were gutted and outfitted with textured wallpapers and colorful tiles, and the newly rendered kitchen was reoriented to embrace both the outdoors and the new open floor plan.

Materiality played a crucial role in rewriting the language of this residence. “We always start with the material palette,” Sargeant affirms. “Here, the base is oak, which sets a warm tone. Next, we incorporated gray marble, which is cooler and has nice movement because of the veining. Then we added lots of brass and black accents for contrast.”

While understated, such selections have a tangible impact. Take the home’s new envelope of wide oak floorboards, which replaced the existing slim planks.

“Initially, I didn’t think they would make much of a difference, but ultimately they do,” Nick says. “The original wood was much more uniform, whereas you can see the subtle texture of the grain in these.”

Textured wood finishes also work to pull in the curtain of forest that surrounds the home—and play to its affectionately dubbed nickname. “There are trees growing up through the back deck, so the homeowners began to call it the Treehouse,” Sargeant says. “Those birches were a big part of our inspiration—we wanted to honor them.” The team did so by composing a neutral, peaceful and clutter-free environment accentuated with pops of soft color. “We chose muted tones throughout to make sure that the greenery would shine through as art itself,” Emen notes.

Yet, despite the light and airy ethos, the home is a far cry from any expected East End dwelling. A meticulous edit of contemporary art and photography, as well as fine vintage and custom furnishings with Scandinavian flair, make for a memorable design statement that simultaneously defers to the natural setting.

“Carol is very fashionable and chic, so we couldn’t just give her the classic white-linen Hamptons house,” Sargeant says. In turn, the designers got creative with plush, tactile fabrics like mohair and wool. (A downstairs bedroom wrapped in dark windowpane-print wool is a notable favorite.) While sumptuous, the natural fibers are durable and easy to clean. In other words, they maintain the clients’ paramount wish for “practicality, livability and a ‘feet on the sofa’ vibe,” Emen comments. “We wanted an elevated and elegant house, but it also needed to be kidfriendly, comfortable and able to withstand two sandy, crazy dogs!” Carol concurs.

The fully realized design provides an ideal backdrop for the “beautiful light streaming in through the trees” adds Carol. “Throughout the day, there’s this soothing effect on the walls that almost looks like water rippling down.” It’s a phenomenon best enjoyed courtesy of windows left deliberately bare by the designers, capitalizing on the perks of one such private setting. All in all, it’s a blissful escape for a family of city dwellers, and, even more than that, as Emen puts it, “It’s total escapism from the Hamptons.”

On the second story of this East Hampton home, Cochineal Design converted an oversize landing into a sitting room.

A textile artwork by Hanne Vedel for Amstrådsförening, Denmark anchors the space, which includes a Fritz Hansen settee, vintage Swedish cabinetmaker chair and Paul McCobb tables.

ARTISTIC RANGE

From a ranch in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, Kristopher Wright creates large-scale works that juxtapose painting and printmaking.

he flicker of birthday candles.

The heat of summer barbecues.

The faces of grandparents long gone. Certain moments become signposts within our lives and, while revisiting these memories is pure nostalgia for some, they mean more to Kristopher Wright. For him, they’re excavation sites. The artist merges painting and printmaking to create prismatic pieces that dissect old family photographs, found images, and moments in art history, unearthing deeper meanings of kinship and community.

“Memory changes with time,” Wright says of his fickle muse. “Present experiences reinform the things you learned in the past.

I think of my work as looking back through a revised lens, exploring why these moments get stuck in your head.” He often pulls from his own family archive, his reference images capturing the beauty of spaces where loved ones gather. The artist then assembles photos together, rearranging the figures and changing their gender and age. Though altered, their poignancy intensifies, revealing new throughlines of feeling. “They’re telling my story, but also opening up new narratives or a new interpretation for others,” he explains.

Wright projects and sketches the final composition onto a canvas, fleshing out the forms in crisp, flat planes of acrylic. His style is influenced by things as disparate as classic Looney Tunes cartoons, anatomical studies and mechanical blueprints—he sometimes hand-paints engine diagrams atop quiet domestic scenes. For Wright, incorporating mechanical motifs such as these references the body and mortality, spiritual transformation and our movement through time and space.

Completed paintings move to the floor for screen printing. The artist then uses a halftone method which translates the different grayscale values into dots of various sizes, so the vibrant underpainting bleeds through and floods the screen-printed photo with emotive hues. The dots also partly obscure the figures’ faces, inviting the viewer to fill in the blanks.

“The figures in my work are always symbols for something or someone else,” Wright notes.

Hopefully, through these works—some of which are exhibited at Wright’s first solo show at Denver’s K Contemporary through December 2—viewers can reconnect with the people and places they have loved with new eyes, too.

A design pro turns back the clock to reveal the inherent beauty of a classic home.

Benjamin Moore’s Salamander on the billiards room’s ceiling, cabinetry, window trim and molding plays well with the aubergineand-black Farrow & Ball wallpaper. “We wanted this room to feel artistic and fun,” says interior designer Holly Freres.

ometimes what you’re looking for comes when you’re not looking at all.” Though the maxim typically refers to relationships, for one Oregon couple, it also proved true for their new abode. “We were not house hunting,” the husband recalls. “We saw the listing, toured, then decided to buy it within 24 hours.”

The Portland property’s classic architecture and expansive grounds, as well as city and mountain views, made it irresistible—and with a generous floor plan, including an indoor pool and a sport court, there was plenty for the couple and their kids to love. But the fact that the 1930s-era home lacked modern amenities and contained dated features and finishes meant that it needed some polishing to make it a perfect fit for the family. “We originally planned a cosmetic renovation to make the appearance match our personal styles,” the client notes. “But eventually, the scope evolved so that we effectively rebuilt— or at least touched—every room in the house.”

The previous owners had quickly readied the residence for sale, making it an enormous blank slate for interior designer Holly Freres and her team, including David Horning and Zelda Boatright. “It was very vanilla, very expected,” she says. “We took it in a different direction.” The collaborative effort with general contractor Narada Fairbank yielded an exquisite three-story abode whose strong first impression continues inside the large front doors. “We wanted to capture a unique feeling in each of the rooms,” Freres explains.

“Although the spaces feel connected, they also have their own purposes and personalities.”

“There were parts of the home’s history that we infused back in,” Freres adds. Take the formal living room, where the original paneling was sanded down, refinished and stained a brownblack hue. The designer introduced a plastercast fireplace—the mirror above it conceals a television—and a leopard rug that nods to the wife’s fondness for animal prints. In the neighboring sun room, Freres modified the entry with steel doors and replaced the windows.

flooring, and ornate crown molding provides an elegant finishing touch.

Freres describes the dining room as “a fun design exercise,” pointing to the central light fixture as an example. She likens the chandelier, composed of hand-blown glass spheres and a dangling brass ring, to jewelry. To ensure the customizable piece fit just right, the team “did a mock-up with balloons, on-site,” Freres shares.

The room’s existing paneling was swapped out in favor of a more sophisticated incarnation and painted in a soft blue-black.

Although the billiards room’s foremost function remains the same, the environment— transformed with an Art Nouveau-inspired wallpaper in a moody aubergine hue—is now “very East Coast/New York bar,” Freres says.

One of the room’s entry points was closed off and supplanted with a seating niche, referred to as the cocktail perch, appointed with antiqued mirror and hunter-green velvet.

To create a coat closet near the entrance, the front of the house was extended, which also allowed for the addition of a sitting room on the second floor. Elsewhere upstairs, to address the warren of rooms and hallways, the layout was reconfigured to create a more flowing, functional floor plan. Most significant, the primary suite was enlarged by claiming square footage from another bedroom and bathroom.

Now accessed by double doors with hand-cast brass knobs, the opening to the couple’s room was “changed completely, so it feels grand and special,” Freres says. Inside, amid blue-green walls and terra-cotta drapes, a Calacatta Vagli marble fireplace is flanked by window benches.

The adjoining bathroom is awash in white oak and marble, including a patterned floor tile.

Slab marble was employed on the vanity wall for a paneled look.

Despite the dwelling’s grand scale and striking features, the design team made room for the playful along with the polished—including lively patterned wallpaper and bright colors.

The balancing act made for a challenge Freres eagerly embraced. “The opportunity to work on a home of this scale really stretches you to stay fresh and use things with restraint,” she says.

“It encourages your best work.”
