The German kitchen. Since 1898. www.hackerkitchens.us | hello@haecker-kuechen.us

Christie Ward and Staver Gray founded their Manhattan-based interior design firm, Ward + Gray, in 2020, and have been buzzing ever since. The duo, who met at Parsons School of Design, take a research-driven approach to design, especially their hospitality projects. A distinct, singular aesthetic has garnered them national and international clientele, as well as a dazzling new product line.

Hyper-local: Identifying the four pillars, or themes, of a project is where we begin. From there we research the buildings and locations so that each one has a clear sense of place and history. Case studies: A Florida hotel designed by a female architect is currently in progress and reading about her work has really influenced our vision. As for Wildflower Farms, an Auberge Resorts Collection property we recently completed in Upstate New York, we wanted to make something detailed and funky. You can also see a lot of Arts and Crafts references, which has a foothold up there. Homey spaces: Hotels are a big focus for us, but we look to give them a residential feel: collected, contextual and authentic. Hospitality experiences are temporal, so you want it to feel super immersive, a little bold, or even shocking. DIY: We put so much love and energy into creating custom rug designs that it was sad to see them installed and never used again. Hence, our new line was born! We hope to have smaller furnishings and lighting follow soon. wardandgray.com

ARTFUL IDEAS In 2019, Abby Bangser, former Artistic Director of Frieze for the Americas and Asia, launched Object & Thing, a roving exhibition concept where site-specific installations are held at historically significant homes across the country. By curating each event with hand-picked pieces, she created a new gallery model where the physical encounter is critical.

Origin story: Our first exhibition was at architect Eliot Noyes’s home in New Canaan, Connecticut. His family keeps the residence as a time capsule of sorts and I thought a show with contemporary art and design would introduce the house to a new audience. We were appointment only and had a waitlist of more than a thousand people. When we closed, everyone said, ‘Where’s the next one?’ House party: Historic artists’ and architects’ homes already have a creative presence. When we add thoughtfully considered contemporary pieces, a dialogue between past and present is created. Giving back: We’ve partnered with nonprofits and given them a percentage of our sales so that the exhibition doubles as a fundraiser. Shop talk: The forthcoming permanent home of Object & Thing will be at a historic destination and represent multiple artists—including Johnny Ortiz-Concha and Frances Palmer—as a traditional gallery would. We will be able to display their work with greater frequency. object-thing.com

SIDE-BY-SIDE

GOLDEN STATE OF MIND Nature and place are the guiding forces behind the work of Rachel Bullock and Molly Purnell, partners at the Los Angeles design firm Laun. Bullock, an architect, and Purnell, a designer, not only have a successful furniture line (expect new materials and colors in the near future) but they also have several home renovations and new builds underway in the L.A. area and beyond.

Eyes open: We love the built environment in Los Angeles—it’s liberating and fun—but we’re also influenced by art, fashion and photography. We think about form and color in all aspects. You can’t get stuck in a feedback loop of contemporary architecture. Guilty pleasure: Collecting vintage architecture books for our office library! It’s important to look at a wide array of references for every project. For a new build in Vermont, the client recommended Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn to learn more about New England’s heritage. Artful touches: Connecting clients with local artists to create custom elements is important. We recently commissioned a beautiful shower tile mural by artist Sara Bright for a project in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood.

State of affairs: People aren’t as interested in the idea of “starchitects” anymore. Today, it’s about real people and real budgets. In the past, spaces were often built in service to the vision, not to the user. launlosangeles.com

Aspen Golann’s passion for woodworking was cemented after completing a two-year traditional trade program at Boston’s North Bennet Street School.

Today her furnishings, made by hand in her New Hampshire studio, are prized by collectors and will even be on view at Winterthur’s spring show, Transformations, alongside contemporary works. Furthermore, through her teachings at Rhode Island School of Design and founding of The Chairmaker’s Toolbox, Golann is committed to championing equity in the industry.

Getting started: I was always a crafty person and eventually decided, I am interested in expressing my artistic instincts. The trade program gave me the technical mastery to tell my story. All are welcome: I started The Chairmaker’s Toolbox to provide educational opportunities for learning traditional, sustainable techniques which have been removed from mainstream furniture production.

We’re growing the future of green woodworking (the practice of using unseasoned wood) and seeing a lot of interest in workshops that teach classic methods. Our hope is to create a place for everyone, including historically excluded makers. Good will: Our teachers are volunteers, and our classes are free. We aren’t grant funded, so we’ve relied on educational partners like Winterthur, who have given us teaching space. Roll call: Alumni of the project include Fernanda Barretto, Audi Culver, Katrina Tompkins, Wu Hanyen, Charles Thompson and Chelsea Witt. aspengolann.com, thechairmakerstoolbox.com

TURNING POINT

FRESH OUTLOOK Architectural firm Mattaforma, founded by Lindsey Wikstrom and Jean Suh, is focused on creating a future in which buildings are designed in an ethical and equitable manner—from material choices to planning for deconstruction. Last spring, Wikstrom, who has taught at Columbia and Yale, published Designing the Forest and Other Mass Timber Futures, which explores the history and new possibilities of wood.

Going forward: Our firm is only a couple of years old, but we’ve already worked across all scales, from a 400-square-foot bar to a 33-acre Rhode Island community. We want to keep challenging ourselves with diverse projects. Guiding ethos: We take our role in climate change seriously. The way we can make an impact is by lowering buildings’ energy usage, the energy required to make materials, and the energy used during a space’s lifetime. End game: We design with deconstruction in mind, too. In thinking about 100 percent circularity (a means of lessening waste and emissions from demolition), there’s a new sense of planning for the end life of a structure. Broad spectrum: Our portfolio includes neurodivergent classrooms for a high school in Queens; a New Jersey craftsman-style home where the idea of traditional layouts was rethought, and a mountain retreat for artists, writers and musicians in Park City, Utah. mattaforma.com

ALL TOGETHER NOW There’s an adage: find a void and fill it. And Brooks Morrison has done precisely that. While working for Moore & Giles, the Virginia native realized that many boutique textile makers were being overlooked. With her knack for marketing and merchandising, she launched The Design Social Pop-Up in 2019, which allows interior designers to connect with makers behind boutique brands. And despite the pandemic causing her to hit pause, she has turned the gatherings into some of the industry’s most anticipated events.

Smart thinking: The old way for small businesses to get their products out there was by going door to door, but that isn’t time efficient. I thought, ‘how can I create a model that supports every brand and every sales strategy?’ By establishing a collective and holding events in relevant, inspiring places, it also became fun. It was that simple. Location, location: In the beginning, I looked at tertiary communities with growing interior design practices that didn’t have immediate access to design centers. We now have a footprint across the country, but I still look for evolving markets. Why it works: This idea isn’t unique, but it used to be done by company reps, not the creatives themselves. For small businesses, personal connections are invaluable. New this year: Along with events in Palm Beach, Denver, East Hampton, Darien, Connecticut, and Charlotte, we’ll be building on educational and mentorship opportunities. Happiest moment: When I hear participants say, ‘You’ve moved the needle for me.’

Sharing their work is a privilege. thedesignsocialpopup.com

Baltimore native Alex Delotch Davis, the new executive director of SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta and Lacoste, France, has carved a dynamic path as a leading arts strategist. Her successes have been many—founding cultural media company Gallerie 88 and producing the Driskell Prize gala during her tenure at the High Museum of Art, both of which celebrate Black creative excellence—but for Delotch Davis, this is just the beginning.

Lifelong pursuit: What I love about art in all forms is that you can never know it all. There’s always a new thing to learn about: an artist, technique, style or trend. As soon as you become the expert, something else comes along and you must start all over again. Higher learning: My role at SCAD FASH is to develop programming that will enhance the relationship between Atlanta and the university by presenting modern material culture in a way that is visually captivating and inspiring. The opportunity to bring together the realms that interest me—fashion, art, design—in an organization driven by innovation is a remarkable stroke of fate.

I am an alumna of SCAD, myself! NextGen: Motherhood is the driving force in every decision I make. I want to show my daughters what passionate work looks like. Ones to watch: Fashion designer Manish Arora, designer Bradley L. Bowers and artist Awol Erizku.

Booklist: Daniel Pink’s A Whole New Mind, which talks about the importance of creative thinking in the future economy. The human ability to imagine what could be and then laying out the mechanics to make it happen is what lies ahead. scadfash.org

DREAM WEAVER Textile designer Esha Ahmed may have honed her passion for design while working for architect Peter Marino, but it was her mother’s wardrobe of saris that first sparked her creative inclinations. Born in Bangladesh, Ahmed moved to the United States with her family as a child, retaining a global outlook that continues to inform her textile studio, Makrosha, today.

Natural instinct: I come from a unique upbringing and culture where fabrics are revered. In Bangladesh, bright, warm patterns are a part of daily life. Past perspective: My background is in textile conservation and history, and I’ve loved studying the impact of textiles across the globe. Traditionally, they were the ultimate luxury and I want to bring that back.

Well made: I collaborate with hand weavers all over the world. It’s important that I work with mills that compensate and celebrate their craftspeople, and that artisans get a say in what they’re making.

Creativity needs to be constantly fostered. Family matters: I’m lucky that I’ve gotten to make this my career, but I’ve also worked hard. It’s important for my daughter to see someone who looks like me in charge and creating opportunities for people.

What’s next: Last year, I went to Italy to visit new mills that I hadn’t worked with before and who have the capabilities to reproduce my collection of beautiful antique remnants. I can’t wait to see them come to life in a modern way. makrosha.com

Chevron Comeback Arguably an overdone go-to of the early aughts, New York City designer Nick Olsen implores design buffs to recall chevron’s posh uses—think Emilio Terry chairs, 18th century Georgian doors, and those memorable floors by Albert Hadley. “I keep going back to chevron because you can tweak the proportions, add embellishments and color, and, voila, it feels fresh all over again,” he raves. Case in point: this Olsen-designed Bedford, New York, dining room. nickolsenstyle.com

Mother Nature is to thank for seashells’ undulating, organic edges which have inspired a curvaceous craze as of late. Designer Leah Ring tactically deployed the playful motif along a kitchen banquette in an L.A. craftsmanstyle abode to add visual interest to an area surrounded by straight lines. “I wanted the detail to feel fun and timeless at once, since the house itself has such a history,” says Ring. Mission accomplished. anotherhuman.la

TABLE FOR TWO Walk into Deux Chats in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood and you’ll feel transported to an age-old French brasserie. This sense of place was precisely the goal of Jon Neidich, Chief Executive of Golden Age Hospitality, when it came to the property’s design, one of many in their growing portfolio. “When I start imagining a new space, I always create a picture in my mind of who is having dinner there,” says Neidich. “I ask myself, ‘What are they like? What are their affectations?’” Inside the Art Nouveau-inspired lounge, sumptuous green-upholstered banquettes mingle with intimate bistro tables and chairs, which lend themselves to the sweet Curtain Lamp by artist Analuisa Corrigan. A lovely white linen shade sits atop the handcrafted ceramic base in a matte sage glaze finished with brass hardware. deuxchatsbk.com, goldenagehospitality.com, lovehouseny.com

From this vantage point, imbibers are treated to a theater of tile featuring a bespoke scene of two cats (a nod to the bar’s name) against the Williamsburgh Savings Bank and the New York skyline in the interior’s signature green hue. This striking tableau exemplifies Neidich’s myriad inspirations—Parisian bistros, boutique hotels, diverse decorative styles and periods—combined in a look all his own. industrywest.com

TODAY’S BOLD TAKE ON BLACK-AND-WHITE TILE OFFERS A FRESH TWIST ON TRADITION.

The primary bathroom of a New Jersey farmhouse, designed by Michelle Gage, boasts a black-andwhite penny tile floor which pairs nicely with the glazed jade wall tiles, both from Daltile. The cast iron tub is from Signature Hardware.

BATH + KITCHEN

OUTSIDE THE BOX “We call it ‘The Gentleman’s Farmhouse,’” shares designer Michelle Gage of the circa-1787 New Jersey abode that she restored top-to-bottom alongside general contractor Chadwick Hunter. To bridge the residence’s early American roots with the eclectic mix she envisioned within, Gage looked to black-and-white tiled floors to compose a timeless base.

In the kitchen, a checkered blend of honed Bianco Carrara and Nero Marquina marbles were chosen for their luxurious look and feel. “This is a very personal, sacred space for him, so we sourced the best of everything—including the floors,” says the designer. “We wanted each detail to feel very intentional and considered.

Plus, there needed to be a graphic element to cut the sweetness of the purple cabinetry.” The surprising hue— a custom Sherwin-Williams blend she describes as “hazy lilac”—was chosen to complement the diffuse sunlight the space

LUXESOURCE.COM

receives throughout the day, and to feel era-appropriate yet bold and dramatic.

Shockwaves of color similarly distinguish the client’s primary bathroom (opening spread), where a classic penny mosaic floor with a black subway tile border juxtaposes walls clad in jade tiles arranged in a climbing herringbone pattern that feel a touch unhinged—in the best way possible. Masculine details, including a cast iron soaking tub, mahogany wood vanities and a custom snake-shaped shower door pull lend further intrigue to the period home. “It’s tailored and gentlemanly, yet quirky and fun,” surmises Gage.

All in, the design is as vibrant as the merriment it caters to on a regular basis.

Shares Gage, “The client manages a band and has many musician friends. He is often cooking up a storm for these jam sessions, or as bands pass through.” michellegage.co; hunterkitchenandbath.com

“Thematically, the idea was to channel a bistro,” shares architect Ryan Salvatore of the playful Connecticut kitchen he conceived alongside designer Graham Veysey. Included in the storage program: A diner-style stainless-steel Eliason pantry door and a wall of cupboards resembling vintage ice boxes. “We wanted to add elements that aren’t so ‘normative kitchen,’ and to use volume in an interesting fashion,” he notes. Hefty Armac Martin hardware was then added to the lower cabinets “to punctuate them in a muscular way.” Grounding the mix is a rosette penny tile floor—a choice as apropos for this charismatic new build as for its antique neighbors down the road. “It’s a traditional home, but a fresh take on traditionalism,” says Salvatore. “The last thing we want is for people to be able to date our projects.” burrsalvatore.com; goodbonesdesign.com

FULL CIRCLE

A couple celebrates a new life chapter by designing a hilltop house that honors its picturesque surroundings.

WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN/TRUNK ARCHIVE

LUXESOURCE.COM

099

A glossy coat of Pratt & Lambert’s Black Magic and Pierre Frey’s marbleized Portor wallcovering add glamour to the wife’s dressing room. Designer Ken Fulk furnished the space with an antique chest and Art Deco-style Murano-glass sconces by Fabio Ltd.

W

hen interior designer Ken Fulk met this Mill Valley couple in 2002, they were entering a season of life in which the combined needs of their three young children and active work and social lives dictated many elements of their home. Over the next two decades, as Fulk worked with them on a number of residences, he says they essentially “grew up together” and became friends. Along the way, Fulk collaborated on one of those dwellings with residential designer Stephen Willrich, who has also enjoyed a long, congenial history with the family. So, when the couple again called on both design pros to create a new abode, there was that spark of excitement that comes when getting an ace team back together.

This time, the couple wanted to construct a dwelling just for the two of them. “After having a very robust and vibrant family life, this was to be a manifestation of what living together looks like after the kids have moved on,” Fulk says.

“The house was to feel like a big, happy exhale.”

For this new chapter, the pair chose a special location. “When I first walked the property with the clients, we were struck by its unique qualities,” Willrich says. “It’s not often that you find a hilltop perch surrounded by the stunning Marin hills with views stretching from the iconic Mount Tamalpais to the San Francisco Bay.” Adds Fulk, “California has this arresting, humbling beauty, and the fact that you can literally see the city yet have wild nature at your doorstep—it’s staggering.”

Willrich’s aim of integrating the architecture of the home with the environment drove every element of his design, from the subdued exterior palette of Western red cedar siding and roughedged limestone walls to the standing-seam metal roof. Sliding steel-framed pocket doors unite the indoor living spaces with the gardens crafted by landscape architect Eric Blasen and his team. In all the primary living spaces, when the glass panels move away, “the line between interior and exterior space blurs,” Willrich notes. General contractor John Rechin adds, “Great care was taken to ensure one could walk out of the home to the outdoors on the same

plane.” Once outside, subtle elevation changes among the dining terrace, fire pit and gardens follow the site’s topography down toward the infinity pool at the hilltop’s edge. “We designed it to feel like a fountain you can swim in,” Blasen says. “It’s a reflecting pool that carries the view out into the landscape.”

The design team brought the exterior materials of wood, stone and steel inside the house, installing a white oak that Rechin had finished in place so it could wrap floors, walls and ceilings in a consistent natural tone—“it’s honeyed but not dark like grandpa’s hunting cabin,” notes Fulk, who advocated for some hand-plastered surfaces and hand-glazed tiles. “The house had to have a soulful quality and contain things that live and breathe and age purposefully.”

This quiet canvas “gave us permission to bring in strong, opinionated elements, such as the shimmering thistle-pattern wallpaper in the powder room and the joyous little bar that’s its own sort of jewel box in the living room,” the designer says. “The house is so solid in its foundational elements that it could handle us adorning it.” Choosing his moments carefully, Fulk layered in saturated jewel tones. A plummy lacquer adorns a dressing room’s walls, while deep aquamarine skies mark a hallway wallpaper depicting painterly cranes. The bold color choices extend to the furnishings and decor, with ruby red making an appearance on the family room’s custom chandelier inspired by a Jean Royère design and amethyst-colored upholstery adorning the dining room’s Chippendale-style chairs. Further energizing each space is a highcontrast pattern play: a houndstooth and stripe on a Louis XIV-style bed; bold black-and-white lines on the living room’s Kuba cloth-patterned sofa; and gleaming brass inlays in the primary suite’s ebonized wood headboard wall.

“The clients have always been up for a little fun,” Fulk says of the array. “Especially in this house, where they didn’t have so many things, it was about finding elements that speak to them, whether they’re blue-chip pieces or flea-market finds. It’s that unexpected mucking things up that makes a more interesting house. You must live up to architecture and nature, after all. You can’t just take a backseat.”

Opposite: A quiet corridor leading to the primary suite and office was transformed into an immersive experience with Phillip Jeffries’ Flight wallcovering. Against blue-green hues, painterly cranes soar.

Astele’s brass-accented counter stools pull up to a satin-finished slab of Saint Henry black granite from IRG. Opposite: A custom chandelier in the style of Jean Royère hangs over the family room’s Stephen Kenn sectional. Adding color to the scene are pillows from Sienna Antiques and a six-piece brass coffee table with multicolored tops by P. Tendercool. The artwork is by Jean-Pierre Rives.

Above: Residential designer Stephen Willrich designed the home to maximize outdoor living.

Vertical-grain Western red cedar finished in place by general contractor John Rechin flows between interior and exterior spaces.

Opposite: The family room, which includes a midcentury barrel-back armchair upholstered in Pierre Frey’s La Folie Du Jour fabric, opens to an alfresco dining area. Outside, a Soane Britain light fixture hangs above an RH table and chairs.

And it might have been for Joseph Brown and Kimberly Deeb—who undertook such a change— had the residence in question not been a multifamily dwelling inhabited by college undergrads who cared nothing for their 114-year-old greystone’s pedigree.

The house was, as designer Michael Stornello puts it, “kind of a mess.” The sort that would require all his and partner Tom Konopiots’ design skills—along with the help of architect of record Dennis Kulak and builders Josue Sabillon and Jim Schueller—to transform the place into an entertaining hub. “When we first laid eyes on the residence, it was three apartments that were on the small side,” Stornello says. “The ceiling heights weren’t great, and in the lower level, they were just 6 feet high; it was truly cellar-like.”

First, the team needed to reconfigure the multiflat layout into a single-family home that would suit their clients and a constant parade of houseguests. Walls came down, allowing the eye to travel the full length of the main floor—through the foyer, living and dining rooms, kitchen and a new family room addition—to the backyard.

The latter, a “dirt patch,” Konopiots recalls, was transformed into a two-level outdoor living space that can accommodate 60 friends for cocktails.

The original narrow stairway was jettisoned and a grand new staircase with one continuous handrail was inserted in the bay on the opposite side of the house. “We added skylights up top so, at certain times of day, the sun will flow all the way down to the lower level,” Stornello says. “It was a way to bring in light while introducing a sculptural element for the eye to rest upon.”

Interior floor heights were also manipulated to achieve taller ceilings, a move that required the careful modification of the existing window openings on the home’s limestone façade.

“Although we changed the front entry’s stairs, railing, canopy and columns—and added a standing-seam metal overhang roof to complement the mix of architecture on the street—it was all done with an eye toward making it look as seamless and original as possible,” Konopiots says.

When furnishing the reimagined rooms, however, Konopiots and Stornello sought to strike a balance between old and new. Against the living room’s demure abaca wallcovering and beneath crown molding trimmed with studded leather tape is a framed Brendan Murphy painting aswirl with graffiti-like symbols and Day-Glo hues. Next to the artwork is a window wall softened by draperies in a graphic print. “The abstract geometry of the pattern brought an up-to-date feel to the space,” Konopiots says.

In the adjacent dining room, the designers granted Joseph and Kimberly’s wish for a “statement booth,” building a custom banquette against a steel-and-glass partition wall, then pairing the sleek creation with classic shield-back chairs dressed in a shimmering textile. “We liked the play of a traditional form with a more modern fabric,” Konopiots says of the seats. “It feels current but not too in the moment.”

The kitchen, in turn, gives English country house vibes with its forest-green cabinetry, leather-trimmed brass hardware and countertop of crosscut walnut. Its dual-zone layout, however, which encourages cooks and guests to engage in conversation from opposite sides of the long island, is thoroughly modern.

A few steps away in the family room, another contemporary convenience awaits in the form of a large sectional—U-shaped, “because everyone loves to have a corner for that cozy curl-up,” Stornello says.

Saturated colors in a spectrum that ranges from earthy to jewel-toned emphasize the sense of comfort in every room: dark petrol on the living room sofa and millwork; burnt sienna on the dining room banquette; cinnamon red on the family room’s swivel chairs; deep rust in the basement bar; and soft evergreens on the primary suite’s upholstered bed and walls. “There are bouclés, silks, velvets and nubby rugs, which pair so well with jewel tones,” Konopiots says. “In the evenings,” Stornello adds, “the light bounces off those textures so beautifully. We’re touchers, and we both really like the tactile quality of the decor in this house.”

Which is why now, when the designers are invited back as guests, “we tend to go around fluffing pillows,” Stornello laughs. “It’s so convivial, warm and embracing there; it’s something we can’t help doing.”

Inner Sanctum An artist’s metro-Atlanta studio is a world unto itself, designed as much for creating as for entertaining.

WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL PHOTOGRAPHY BY GREGORY MILLER

F

or Atlanta artist Daniel Zimmerman, art is about more than beauty; it’s a conversation, an opportunity to connect.

“The art world is very social, and I think a studio should be an invitation,” he posits.

In 2021, the Mississippi native converted a 5,000-square-foot former antiques warehouse—found about 15 miles south of Midtown—into a luxuriously appointed destination whose warmth and texture soften its cavernous volumes.

While one side of this expanse is devoted to Zimmerman’s paintings, giving him liberty to pursue artworks of monumental scale, the other half takes on a more residential feel. Anchored by white linen sofas and draped in textiles, this lavish salon is adorned with a rug of palatial scale beneath a dazzling 6-footwide crystal chandelier.

With such opulent trappings, the creative naturally thought it a magical

venue for fetes, particularly his annual masquerade. “So many of us are living out our normal lives, rarely with room for flagrant self-expression,” he observes.

“I like to give people an excuse to run wild with their imaginations.”

Currently, the multihyphenate is in the throes of several ongoing bodies of work, with his painting collections running the gamut from ambiguous silhouettes to more representative abstract portraits (featuring subjects both real and imagined). “I don’t want to put myself in a box,” the artist asserts. “I just like to find what energizes me and move in that direction.”

Common to all of Zimmerman’s paintings is his use of oil—a medium notorious for its mess and odor, but also its old-world luminosity. “I like the traditional aspect of oil, but the thing I love most is the patience it requires,” he explains, alluding to the prolonged drying process that the medium demands. “I tend to move quickly; the process helps me slow down a bit.”

To combat linseed oil’s olfactory qualities, the artist likes to add a fragrant

flourish: lavender essential oil. The idea sprung from the elaborate gardens found just outside garage-style doors spanning 100 feet wide, extending his studio to its lush surroundings. “I’m obsessed with nature,” Zimmerman notes. “I’m constantly bringing in fresh herbs to enjoy their scent.”

The artist’s passion for plants has also sparked a wildly successful series of topiary paintings. The petite works began as “a way to experiment and get my hands moving before I started on larger pieces,” he explains. “But they have since became a runaway success, with each new release selling out rapidly.”

Zimmerman has always been drawn to “old-world style,” recalling trips to Europe where the splendor of its classical estates and “the pageantry of it all” left an indelible mark, he notes. Hence, “My paintings have a historical edge, but also an element of fantasy. In today’s age, we’re fortunate to have the opportunity to become anything we dream. I want viewers to imagine what they could be.”

A voluminous former antiques warehouse now houses Atlanta artist Daniel Zimmerman’s exuberant creative practice; swaths of textiles, cheeky accoutrements and oil paintings define the surroundings of his workspace (opposite). Portraits begin as charcoal, pastel or colored pencil sketches before coming alive via luminous oil pigments (left and below).

The impassioned talent often scales a ladder to reach his soaring canvases (bottom).

Historic Details In Denver, an 1880 landmarked home’s boldly reimagined interiors nod to the splendor promised by its Second Empire-style façade.

hanks to the likes of Instagram, Pinterest, HGTV and Houzz, it’s easy for anyone to gather ideas regarding the decor of their space. But Tim White, the latest owner of a historic house in Denver’s Curtis Park neighborhood, felt no such temptation. “When I hire professionals who are creative folks, I never want to head them in a certain direction,” says the homeowner, who is a seasoned developer himself. “If I express my leanings before I hear their thoughts, it may inhibit our choices; I prefer to reach a solution organically.”

Besides, this house needed no spokesperson.

Built in 1880, the Second Empire-style abode features a dramatic redbrick façade, an ornate front porch, classical wood cornices and a multicolored slate mansard roof. Having already been restored by Colorado Preservation, Inc. with great care, the mansion now begged for interiors with an equal richness of decorative detail—the perfect brief for a design studio known for bold interiors and color combinations.

“This home had a presence, like it was the proverbial house on a hill,” says designer Troy Rivington, who, in close collaboration with firm principal Andrea Schumacher, embarked on a top-to-bottom reimagining of the residence.

“When you walk in, you can feel the history,” Rivington marvels, pointing out the original moldings, staircase and striking stained-glass windows. “So many of the details survived over 140 years of existence; it’s amazing.”

But charmed as they were by the home’s carefully preserved details, Tim and his wife, Stephanie, had no interest in living in a period piece. “Historic homes are often restored back to what they used to be,” Tim says. “We wanted the interiors to be sympathetic to the past but still designed for the here and now.”

The newly expanded kitchen, for example, offers the contemporary conveniences of a sunny dining nook, large island and a wet bar. To its existing palette of natural wood, black cabinets and patterned floor tile, the designers added a dome-shaped concrete chandelier, emerald-green backsplash tile and striking Chinese brass cabinet

pulls. “We wanted to bring in modern touches so the interiors wouldn’t lean too historic, but at the same time twist it a bit,” Rivington explains of the eclectic assortment. “Because this home has a very distinctive look, bringing in elements that wouldn’t normally mix together really worked.”

Further proof is on display in the study, where a gilded French antique chair, clean-lined velvet sofa and amorphous metal coffee table hold court between a giraffe-print rug and agate-patterned paper on the ceiling. And in the upstairs gallery, large contemporary paintings mingle with a glamorous curved settee, giant chandeliers and a carved-eagle console table painted a stark white in an unexpected departure from the typical gilt-wood finish.

But even such eye-catching compositions fail to prepare guests for the visual feast awaiting them in the dining room—“one of my favorite spaces because it provides some context for the home’s history, yet is totally different from what most people would expect,” Tim says. Here, the millwork and high ceiling are glazed in a vibrant raspberry-colored paint inspired by the hues of the living room’s exotic drapery fabric—one of several details throughout the house that nod to the Japanese American population that called Curtis Park home after World War II. Books with sky-blue spines line one wall, a mural depicting cranes and cherry trees covers others, and a massive 1970s-era Murano-glass chandelier, also pink, shimmers over a vintage table flanked by patterned settees and armchairs in a soft blush.

“When you’re in this room, you can feel people light up,” Tim muses. “It’s as if they’re gathering some of the energy that was put into that space.”

For their private quarters, the owners desired a far quieter palette of creams and black. To compensate for the lack of color, Rivington and Schumacher lavished rich textures on every surface: a woven grass-cloth covering on the walls and ceiling, Belgian linen draperies trimmed with bands of bouclé, an upholstered bed adorned with brass nailheads, and, “for that touch of the unexpected,” Rivington says, a zebra rug.

Amid the bursts of color, pattern and texture throughout such a spirited home, this calmer space underscores the design scheme’s allencompassing quality: an elegance that marries modernity with timelessness.

A Kravet rug and ceiling covering mixed with a Schumacher grass cloth on the walls create a rich backdrop for the study.
