ON VIEW “ENERGETICS”

Multidisciplinary artist Mika Tajima has had solo exhibitions in Tokyo, London, Los Angeles and Geneva, but it’s been eight years since her last solo show in the city she calls home. From January 12, Pace is debuting Tajima’s first solo exhibition in New York since joining the gallery. “Her artistic journey has flourished on a global scale,” says Colleen Grennan, senior director at Pace. “The exhibition will continue to exemplify her ambitious projects.” Tajima starts with audio recordings and transmutes them into visual spectrograms, which are then woven into a tapestry. For this exhibition titled “Energetics,” she created three large-scale works that started with audio recordings of a deep brain stimulation procedure.

She worked with TextielLab, an experimental textile atelier in the Netherlands, to produce the size and quality of weaving she envisioned.

“During the pandemic, when the way of working became so much more abstract and digital, I wanted to make a work that materialized this contradictory and complex virtual existence,” Tajima explains. “These pieces become preserved snapshots.” pacegallery.com

CHECK IN

The recently opened Fifth Avenue Hotel is lush with nods to its Gilded Age heritage. Having once belonged to society matron Charlotte Goodridge, the mansion’s halls held receptions and musicals during the late 19th century.

Reflecting this history, Martin Brudnizki Design Studio in collaboration with Flâneur Hospitality embraced an aesthetic that incorporates romance and storytelling. “We started with the idea of someone’s town house brimming with interesting furniture, objects and art gathered from a lifetime of traveling,” says designer Martin Brudnizki. “We wanted the hotel to feel eclectic, as though everything shouldn’t belong together, but somehow does.” To wit, the guest suites mix whimsical patterns and a joyous palette, while antique and modern pieces look quite at home while speaking across decades and continents. The lobby’s soaring ceiling and marble floors offer the grandeur a Gilded Age hostess would expect, while modern pieces like a tapestry by artist Pae White keeps the public spaces fresh and exciting. thefifthavenuehotel.com

COMMON THINGS

“There’s a magic to New York, the serendipity of meeting people,” Komal Kehar muses. “I needed a place to work, but I realized that instead of just an office, it could be so much more.” The architect and interior designer didn’t have experience as a shopkeeper, but she had spent a decade designing retail interiors. So, when a space near her East Village apartment became available, she decided to jump on it. The result is her first decor boutique, Common Things.

Kehar soon decided to organize the boutique’s offerings around the color blue. “It’s amazing what this hue represents cross-culturally; it makes sense, because we all share a blue sky and ocean,” she says. “So, things in the shop are predominantly blue or neutrals that go with this color.” Since its recent opening, Common Things has been continually stocked with Kehar’s beautiful curation of azure-colored pieces, but she plans to regularly change the shop’s emphasis. “I grew up as the child of immigrants and have a huge network,” she notes. “Common Things is about celebrating the way cultures around the world use similar materials, but in different ways.” common-things.com

Delia Kenza With her namesake firm, Delia Kenza shapes “authentic homes that are a joy to live in.” The LUXE Next In Design 99 talent gives us an insight into her studio’s approach. Describe your style. Our firm’s aesthetic is warm modern. We want to create spaces that showcase the culture and heritage of our clients. What defines your designs? Learning about people is our approach. I’m excited about finding items that speak to who they are and how they live. Your go-to pattern: Anything graphic. We are suckers for high-contrast patterns and shapes! A design element that can’t be skipped: Some form of art. Whether it’s painting, sculpture or pottery, art gives a home life. deliakenzainteriors.com Gregory Rockwell For LUXE Next In Design 99 honoree Gregory Rockwell, an eclectic approach is key to creating “spaces that are comfortable and stylish while reflecting people’s personal styles.” Here, he tells Luxe about his vision. Designing interiors means... Taking our clients’ initial input and weaving together various references to shape a unique world. What motivates you? The opportunity to try something new. If you could have dinner with any living designer, it would be: Kathryn M. Ireland, because she seems like loads of fun, or Christian Louboutin at his hotel compound full of auction finds in Portugal. No project is complete without: Dim lighting and a cocktail shaker. gregoryrockwell.com Michelle Ficker + Peter Dolkas Studio Dorion principals Michelle Ficker and Peter Dolkas aim to “balance classicism with elegant modernity.”

The LUXE Next In Design 99 creatives share how they achieve this goal.

Describe your ethos. We’re not trying to orchestrate shocked reactions.

Our goal is for our clients to be happy for years and years, so we strive for design that is evergreen rather than of-themoment. What’s exciting you in design today?

We’re excited to support “slow” manufacturing from local makers with high levels of craftsmanship.

Your dream design collab: A line of fabrics!

We keep a collection of discontinued samples and vintage scraps for inspiration. Design rule to live by: Measure twice, cut once. Every home needs...

MEET THE MAKER CASEY MCCAFFERTY

Sculptor Casey McCafferty’s artistic journey started in an unlikely place: working in a finance job after college. He soon quit the bank and started making custom furnishings his full-time gig. After a stint in Los Angeles, McCafferty has returned to New Jersey, where he crafts striking wood pieces in bold, armophous shapes. The artist, who’s been tapped by Burberry for an exciting commission, sat down with Luxe to reflect on his practice’s evolution and his creative process. casey-mccafferty.com How has your career developed in recent years?

I moved to L.A. for a while, working with designers and making pieces for celebrity clients.

After six years, I had a staff and was a business owner, but I was still making funky items on the side. One day, a designer walked in and asked me about one of those and a light bulb went off: People will pay for original ideas.

Tell us about your process. I like to create out of a bunch of different materials, like stone and laminated wood. I also work with tree services, so when they cut down a nice piece of timber, I can dry it and use it.

What’s in the works with Burberry? I was commissioned to create five or six pieces for their Madison Avenue store; that eventually turned into doing pieces for dozens of their locations. It’s a crazy amount of work for a three-person shop!

I carve every piece, but have help with the sanding and finishing. We should be done in early 2024, and then we’ll see what’s next.

What’s your inspiration? My technique is direct carving. I don’t use templates or measurements.

I have the material in front of me and just start creating. Sometimes, I’ll do a detail on a sculpture, and then in the next couple of pieces you’ll see it in a grander form. I don’t differentiate my body of work—it just evolves.

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

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.

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

LIVING

Gage selected classic elements for the kitchen, including a fluted apronfront sink from Signature Hardware and ceramic scalloped pendants

by Regina Andrew.

The countertops are Caesarstone’s White Attica.

BATH + KITCHEN LIVING

“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

SHOPE RENO WHARTON “OUR PHILOSOPHY IS TO CREATE HOMES AND SPACES THAT REFLECT THE LOCATION, OWNERS’ INTERESTS, TIMELESS DESIGN BELIEFS AND A STRONG LINK TO CRAFTSMANSHIP.”

K Jerry Hupy, Arthur Hanlon, Michael McClung, Don Aitken and John Gassett PARTNERS

shoperenowharton.com 203.852.7250 shoperenowharton

nown for designing beautiful, functional and enduring homes that enrich the lives of their residents, Shope Reno Wharton (SRW) is celebrated for its refined residential architecture. But the firm also designs extraordinary equestrian, golf and hospitality projects. The common denominator is that they are all informed by the expert team’s design philosophy and expertise. Energy efficiency, attention to environment and enjoyment, and dependability over the course of many generations, all guide the process regardless of style, location or scope. Every SRW project results from a comprehensive understanding of the site, along with an intentional

and mindful collaboration between the architect and owner. And each design is imbued with the unique sensibilities one can only derive from a true love of building and craft. Shope Reno Wharton was established in 1981 and is led today by five partners: Jerry Hupy, Arthur Hanlon, Michael McClung, Don Aitken and John Gassett. Their longtime collaboration and devotion to the firm has attracted and retained a skilled staff of talented architects. Together, they offer attentive service and an inspiring portfolio of projects located across the country. Reflected in each commission is the firm’s commitment to architectural character and an understanding of how people aspire to live their lives.

ASK THE EXPERT What is the key to work-life balance?

Approaching each day with purpose, whether it be personal or professional, and maintaining a level of curiosity.

Share your influences and inspirations.

We have always been motivated by the essentials in architecture: light and shadow, solid and void, axis and symmetry, scale and proportion. Historical examples, and places that powerfully utilize these ideas, are always inspirational to us.

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

That we have created identifiable designs of great character, from the master concept down to the details. They are like great art, which has an impact from a distance and reveals more and more as you study it and move closer.

hen one is deeply passionate about an art, a desire often emerges to dedicate more and more time to perfecting it. This is what led Gregory Madzio, now President of HiiCompany Corp., to transition from a thriving millwork business into a custom home builder. “After building pieces for a gallery exhibition displaying Alexander Calder mobiles, an installation which was designed by Santiago Calatrava, I realized how enjoyable it was to work on a single, unique custom project at a time,” Madzio says. “It gave me satisfaction, so I made the transition to this iteration of my business.” After opening his woodworking firm in 1987 and expanding to include general construction in 1992, Madzio had completed many school and office building projects as well. But today, he and his team are all about concentrating on highly bespoke residential, with a few institutional, gallery and millwork projects sprinkled in. The consistent factor is, perhaps, Madzio’s love of challenge and innovation. “I enjoy making hard

hiicorp.com 212.686.0401 h.i.i_corp ideas happen,” he says. “Applying new technologies, like electrified hardware and software-based controls, is always exciting.” Also central is his collaborative perspective. Known for working closely with architects to perfect big concepts in sometimes limited and specific spaces— a reality of New York City work— HiiCompany Corp. is beloved for its skill, craftsmanship and teamwork.

Name influences and inspirations that inform your work and approach to it.

One of the first places I visited when I came to New York City in 1986 was the MoMA. I was blown away by the furniture exhibition. I’ve worked with conceptual artists Michelangelo Pistoletto and James Turrell to help them realize their visions.

Both experiences helped me to see the importance of details.

What is your firm known for?

Highly custom work and creativity in solving issues are the two qualities that probably stand out to our clients. I enjoy combining wood, leather, fabrics, metal and stone, so that is characteristic as well.

What’s next for the firm?

We are excited to announce that we will be starting work in Miami on a cutting-edge and challenging project.

distinguished heritage combined with an innovative approach to construction is the key to creating groundbreaking homes. So it is with Hobbs, Incorporated. For more than seven decades, they have remained at the forefront of the custom homebuilding and remodeling industry. “As a 70-year-old, third-generation firm, our father’s and grandfather’s presence continue to have a strong influence,” says Scott Hobbs, President of Hobbs.

“An abiding dedication to doing highestquality work in an unwaveringly ethical way provides our team with great satisfaction in what we do.” The firm was born in the early 1950s when Ted

Hobbs—Scott’s grandfather—began taking on small contracting jobs to support his young family. As his reputation for excellence and honesty grew, so did the company. “Our grandfather helmed all sorts of construction projects, including work for the Harvard Five,” Scott shares. “In the 1970s, our father shifted the focus to high-end custom residential work.

My brother and I have continued that momentum while expanding our geographical reach from Connecticut to New York City, the Hamptons and Northern New Jersey. We are honored to carry our family’s legacy as we work with the very best architects, designers, artisans and clients across the region.”

ASK THE EXPERT How do you include the client in your creative process?

We spend a lot of time asking questions and getting to know what is important to them so that we can best serve their wants and needs and fulfill their visions.

What style are you most known for?

As a custom-build firm, we are pretty agnostic when it comes to design aesthetics.

Working with such a wide range of architects, designers and clients provides us with the unique privilege to build homes across a vast spectrum of styles. The one constant is the exacting quality of our infrastructures and finishes.

What’s next?

To continue to learn, grow and improve as custom builders and in the maintenance work we do through the Care Division that my brother and I began in the early 2000s.

s inspirational and creative childhoods go, one spent in New York with an interior designer for a mother has to be up there. This is the experience that led Betsy Wentz, now the owner of her own design firm, to the trade. “Growing up, my mom took me to New York City on shopping trips to source fabrics, wallpapers and furniture. I loved every minute of those days in the city. Today, I’m lucky to work here regularly, with multiple residential projects and—most recently—the design of the Delish Test Kitchens. I also love visiting my vendors, creating custom rugs and speaking on panels at design centers I used to visit with my mom.” It’s truly a full-circle

moment for Wentz, and that background in the excitement of specifying had its influence. Today, when clients rave about Betsy Wentz Interior Design, they often comment on the 3,000-square-foot studio full of color schemes, fabrics and wallpapers to explore. “I fully engage in the design process with my clients,” Wentz says. “I like to create an interactive, hands-on journey for them.”

She also creates stunning spaces, of course. “My projects take on each client’s style, so each is very different and unique,” she says. “I am most known for my use of color and pattern mixing.

My work is sophisticated but infused with color. I also prioritize function and family-friendly environments.”

ASK THE EXPERT Name influences and inspirations that inform your work and approach to it.

My mom was my biggest teacher and influence on my approach to design.

She taught me that you need to listen and involve your clients in the process. Like any relationship, trust is the most important factor.

How can clients contribute to a painless design process?

Be transparent with your budget and timeline. It’s also important to make prompt selections and to communicate your expectations.

What’s next for your firm?

I am working on a rug collaboration that includes some of the custom designs I’ve made for client projects.

Additionally, I would love to produce a line of fresh and playful wallcoverings.

PRINCIPAL

uilding a beautiful, wellconceived home is both a feat of engineering and a work of art. That simple, yet powerful belief is the reason Zachariah Rockhill is the ideal builder. “I began my construction education working for my father’s designbuild firm—first as a journeyman and then as a foreman,” the Gold List Honoree says. “Parallel to that, I pursued a career as a fine artist, exhibiting at places like MoMA PS1 and the Performa Biennial and teaching at schools like U Penn, The Cooper Union and Parsons. At the time, I had no idea how valuable my skills as a creator, fabricator and educator would be.” Having the dual ability to visualize

and realize complexity in the built environment as well as the language to communicate intricate construction processes and methodologies to his clients has put both Rockhill and his firm, Rockhill Construction, in a class apart. “Every successful construction project is the sum of myriad disciplines working in concert,” Rockhill explains.

“That idea of acting in concert—as in a symphony or orchestra—is the key to our process. My team of highly trained professionals bring their unique skills, talents and visions to each project as they work together to create homes and environments that inspire our clients and elevate their lives.”

ASK THE EXPERT What communities do you serve?

When I started building in earnest 15 years ago it was primarily Brooklyn row houses. Today, we are 60-percent Manhattan condo and co-ops and 40-percent Brooklyn work, with burgeoning divisions doing ground-up construction in the Hudson River Valley and on Long Island.

Who inspires you?

Obviously, my father. I also draw great inspiration from a number of other builders in the tri-state area who are able to accomplish enormous feats while working in one of the most complex and heavily regulated construction environments on the planet.

What do you consider your greatest success?

The team that we’ve built and what they’re capable of. I am both proud and lucky to work with a group of people who are such incredibly accomplished, intensely focused and generous team players.

t the core of interior design is one overarching principle, to make people’s lives more beautiful. That simple, yet powerful ideal informs every aspect of Jeffrey B. Haines’ life and work. As the Owner and Principal Designer at Butler’s of Far Hills, Haines delivers award-winning style and function that reflects who his clients are and how they wish to live. “My studio is known for timeless, detailed designs that have a big dash of surprise and delight,” Haines says. “With each project, my mission is to create environments that look and feel effortless and harmonious.”

To achieve this, Haines places the client at the center of his design approach.

“Success begins with listening to my clients from the start,” he shares. By listening to and spending time with them we learn about their tastes, lifestyles and inspirations. We also look at their heirlooms, collections and works of art, as well as the home’s original bones. From there, it is my job and my pleasure to bring their visions

to life. Having a musical background, I like to think of myself as a conductor who orchestrates the various parts of the process and creates harmony in the overall design.” What does Haines’ future hold? “I have many design ideas for a small, selective furniture line.

Perhaps that’s in my near future.”

Please elaborate on the communities you serve.

While my studio is located in New Jersey, I have designed homes, clubs and boutique hotels along the entire East Coast.

Currently, we have projects in greater New York, Florida and Nantucket, which is a special place for me as it is where my seasonal design shop, The J. Butler Collection, has been located for 25 years.

A unique design collection of my gathering, it’s a casual place to meet friends, clients, artists and designers.

Brooklyn Bohème

In Fort Greene, a classic brownstone bustles with newfound color and life.

With millwork coated in Benjamin Moore’s Black and a custom Nemo Tile + Stone mosaic floor, the foyer nods to elements found in historic brownstones. Meanwhile, Wayne Pate’s Poppies Noir wallpaper from Studio Four NYC hints at the fresh perspective within.

F

ort Greene’s brownstones have witnessed many stories over the last three centuries, but perhaps the most vibrant chapter is its long-standing role as a cradle for Black artists: from novelist Richard Wright writing Native Son on a Fort Greene Park bench to filmmaker Spike Lee channeling its street life in his iconic movies. As academics and lovers of literature and art, a couple wanted their town house to be a love letter to this legacy.

Honoring their family’s African American heritage, they dreamed of spaces that would envelop their children with culture and color while celebrating the neighborhood’s history.

Although passing decades had stripped away most of the building’s original detail, Jennifer Morris saw soulful spaces waiting to be reanimated.

“It was exciting to reimagine them for these clients,” says the designer. “This was a powerful opportunity to flourish every room with pattern and color.”

With principal Kimberly Neuhaus and project architect Karin Ames taking on the architectural transformation, the women-led team began finetuning the layout, contouring each space to suit the family’s close-knit lifestyle.

Along with general contractor Joseph Kusnick, excavations began in the foyer, where heavy stains were stripped to reveal a walnut newel post and mahogany railing. Two tactile wallpapers divided by a chair rail further restored the entrance’s sense of ceremony. Because the main parlor floor lacked bath and dining rooms, the architects carved out both a petite powder room and a rounded alcove chamber to rival the coziest restaurant booth, which Morris outfitted with a curved banquette.

The redefined living and dining spaces were then divided by bookshelf-clad walls, centering the couple’s love of reading at the heart of the home.

Pieces of ornate plaster crown molding—one of the few surviving original elements—were rescued during construction, with cast moldings of the trim used to reconstruct missing sections in the living room. Kusnick’s team also carefully recreated the home’s charming front window casings, which were no longer functional. “He brought in an amazing craftsman from Pennsylvania to replicate those pocket shutters as closely as possible,” says Ames.

Adds Morris, “It was a real win for us to revive those historical elements while repurposing them for modern use.”

In contrast, the designated kitchen was architecturally a blank slate. Sliding glass doors leading to a new steel deck were added to “forge connections to the outdoors and maximize all the beautiful natural light,” shares Ames. Morris then turned the space into a celebration of the couple’s eclectic style, inspired by a bright orange oven that the husband handpicked on a shopping trip. The kitchen’s colorful mélange layers navy cabinetry with a coral lava stone-topped island, walnut accents and a confetti-like backsplash.

Establishing the palette, recalls Morris, “felt like such a catalyst—like starting a daring story I could thread throughout the home.”

The couple’s affection for the 1970s spurred the designer toward even bolder hues. “If we could have done avocado shag carpet everywhere, my clients would’ve been thrilled,” smiles Morris. Channeling the period in a fresh way, she honored the era’s love of orange by scattering shades beyond the kitchen, from the linens in the primary suite to the builtin bookshelves in the study. Clad in a burl-wood wallcovering, the latter space also references the period’s penchant for wood veneer.

There’s a similarly ’70s-style nonchalance to the bulbous armchairs and conversation pit-worthy sectional gathered around a rounded coffee table in the living room. “I’m obsessed with curves for busy families,” Morris explains. “Around a circular table, everybody is invited into the conversation.”

Fully emboldened, the designer saw every surface as an opportunity to showcase the artistry of contemporary women designers and craftspeople of color. Some walls turned into kinetic murals, like the dining room’s palmtree motif wallpaper by Justina Blakeney. A whimsically patterned pouf by Nigerian German designer Eva Sonaike welcomes guests in the entry. The powder room’s floor and walls became a prismatic mosaic of handmade tiles by designer Avery Thatcher. And sconces by Marie Burgos illuminate the dining room with candy-hued joyfulness. “You can feel that these artisans put their heart and soul into these pieces,” says Morris, noting that each vendor was carefully curated to reflect the cultural vibrancy of the homeowners.

Life within these walls now vibrates with banter, buoyed by the family’s passions and playfulness. “We pushed each other creatively,” shares the designer of the team, clients and process. “There’s a bravery to this home that’s whimsical and fun.”

Mountain High A Brooklyn family breathes deep at their cozy weekend home in the heart of the Hudson Valley.

ith its gently rolling pastures and colorful woodland vistas, the Hudson Valley has long been a refuge for New Yorkers, from the Dutch settlers who followed Henry Hudson up the river and made it their home to the seminal 19th-century plein air painters who romanticized its landscapes. In more recent years, the region’s bucolic charm has lured another batch of visitors: nature-starved Brooklynites looking for a close-to-home getaway that feels world’s away.

When one young couple with a toddler began house shopping for a place to spend holidays and spare time, Silo Ridge—a notoriously posh gated community in Amenia, New York—offered an ideal solution. “It’s like adult summer camp,” says the wife, pointing to the golf tournaments, pool parties, concerts and cookouts that enliven the community calendar. Shares the husband, “It’s a year-round destination. You can ski. You can go apple picking. There’s a great culinary scene.”

But, best of all, “It’s down to earth,” he adds.

Once the opportunity struck to purchase an already-framed home designed by Hart Howerton and built by Stoneleaf Construction, the couple didn’t hesitate. Their next move: hiring Anna Baraness and Kristin Tarsi to coax the interior architecture into a thoroughly custom confection and bring a fittingly upscale yet laid-back ethos to the decoration.

“We wanted a seamless transition between indoors and out, and to make the house feel casual and comfortable in the spirit of the area,” notes Baraness. The rainbow of pine, birch and maple trees that blanket the surrounding hilltops and change with the seasons provided a natural jump-off point. And so, the designers started by devising a palette of earthy greens, tans and browns in a range of tones and materials.

“We went with this idea that, when you look out at the landscape, there are all of these different visual textures, such as the freshly cut

grass on the golf course, rocky outcroppings, ripples of water on the lake and the bark and leaves of the trees,” says Tarsi. The designer points, for instance, to furnishings like the living room side tables composed of smooth wood with inset concrete tops. Such textural juxtapositions abound throughout the home.

See: the shearling-clad armchairs next to gauzy linen curtains (the better to soak in the view) in the primary bedroom; or the arms of the family room sofa, which are upholstered in sleek leather, while the seat and cushions are covered in a tactile chenille.

Likewise, the designers honored a sense of place—specifically, the agricultural vernacular of the region—in their emphasis on simple furnishings with clean lines. “Part of what we drew inspiration from was a softer take on modern minimal furniture,” notes Tarsi. To that end, the dining table is quietly compelling with its updated farmhouse style. The pair of decorative sconces above the kitchen’s open shelving—itself a traditional design element—are a riff on gooseneck barn lighting. And the effect extends to the millwork they specified as well, including the entry’s classic beadboard cladding and the painted wood paneling in the stairwell.

Instead, dramatic flourishes come from subverting the expected. Take the primary suite, where a thin ribbon of dark-wood grain in the tray ceiling puts a modern spin on cove molding.

“It gives definition without being heavy or loud,” notes Baraness. Or the lighting program, whose surprisingly playful spirit shines through in choices like the great room’s grid of minimal black flush mounts. “We love anything that’s going to add another layer,” Baraness continues.

“Since there’s no true center of the room, the contrast and placement activate the whole space.”

The finished product lends itself perfectly to quiet family weekends and entertaining alike.

“We wanted a place to host friends and family, and to build new memories and traditions,” shares the wife. “There’s a level of coziness here that makes you take a deep breath and relax. It has felt like home since the day we moved in.”

The entry balances materials including a Noir console with a custom finish, an iron-and-brass Arteriors stool and a stoneware lamp by Victoria Morris Pottery. Beadboard walls painted Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter nod to local farmhouse design. The mirror is from Audo Copenhagen.

Wild Worlds Artist Madeline Peckenpaugh pushes the limits of abstraction in her immersive oil paintings.

In her Queens studio, painter Madeline Peckenpaugh frequently uses her hands to apply oil paint (below). The artist begins her compositions by mixing a color palette (right). The painting Sunbathers (opposite) is typical of Peckenpaugh’s abstract style that plays with depth by drawing attention to the canvas surface.

ew York-based Madeline Peckenpaugh paints using the language of landscape. Her large-scale oil paintings often evoke scenes of nature, with vertical swipes conjuring tall grasses, reeds and tree trunks, and horizontal fields of color signifying bodies of water or open fields. At the same time, her abstract gestural style moves her scenes away from the real world. “They are about landscape, but they’re not about nature,” explains the artist.

For Peckenpaugh, who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Rhode Island School of Design, nature is a way to invite the viewer inside her painterly worlds, yet it’s not necessarily the subject of her work. “It’s often about the sublime experience you can feel in nature, or at least the one that I did as a kid growing up on 42 acres of land in Wisconsin,” she reflects.

This formative landscape of prairies, woods and marshes became her first visual language.

More recently, it has been supplemented with an urban vocabulary accumulated from years of city living and travels; places Peckenpaugh often photographs with her iPhone and translates into her spatial compositions.

The artist’s consuming paintings typically begin with a color story and take shape in a single sitting. She first mixes her paints to create a palette before applying them to the canvas with gloved hands and an assortment of brushes and tools. “I try to get the idea of the space out in one session,” she reveals. “It’s often a matter of letting the paint guide me.”

It is easy to get carried away in Peckenpaugh’s worlds, where scenes draw the viewer from the surface to the foreground to a distant vanishing point and back to the surface again. The artist plays with depth, scraping off areas of paint with a handheld sander, or combining textures at the outset by using fabric dyes to tint her canvases. “I like the transition of materials, but there has to be some kind of poetry in the combining,” she explains. “There’s a back-and-forth to looking at a painting as materials but also as an image.”

Now, as Peckenpaugh prepares for a series of exhibits in Milan and Miami in 2024, as well as a showing with her gallery, Alexander Berggruen, at the Dallas Art Fair, she is open to where her chosen medium might take her.

Notes the artist, “I often think about paint as being its own force of nature.”

NEW ATTITUDE A down-to-the-studs redesign renders an uptown apartment as awe-inspiring as its views.

et in an elegant prewar building on Fifth Avenue, the apartment had everything a couple seeking their firstever Manhattan pied-à-terre could ask for. It was an easy drive from their home outside the city, close to their grown children and, best of all, it occupied a prime perch overlooking Central Park, while the views south embraced both the Chrysler and the Empire State buildings. All it needed was a refresh. Or so they thought.

The ink had scarcely dried on their contract when the husband discovered the HVAC system was sorely in need of repair. And, after spending some time in the apartment, the couple realized the floor plan could be improved and the finishes upgraded. “We started thinking bigger,” the husband recalls.

Enter interior designer Elizabeth Bauer, who was wowed by the stunning views upon visiting the residence for the first time—but also highly distracted by the architectural milieu. Namely, the low ceilings throughout; the columns that protruded into the hallway and living and dining areas; and a disjointed layout that made the space feel smaller and darker than it was, thanks in large part to a 1990s conversion from hotel to condos. “I totally understood why anyone walking into the apartment would fall in love with it,” the designer shares. “But nothing was quite right. There was no flow.”

Bauer knew just who to call: architect Sam Mitchell, whose portfolio includes city renovations and custom homes from Massachusetts to Florida.

Together, they studied how they could improve the layout, beginning with the foyer, whose window was unceremoniously tucked away in a broom closet. “You had this beautiful apartment with prime park views, and you walked into a wall upon entry,” Bauer recalls. (Yet another window, this time in the primary bedroom, was blocked by a massive closet.)

The hits kept coming when Mitchell, alongside his studio director, Bill Pollack, determined that the awkward ceilings and columns were part of the building’s infrastructure and couldn’t be changed.

Their solution? To raise the ceilings where possible, lacquer them in a high-gloss mirror

finish to create the illusion of height, and encase the columns throughout with fluting that would lend a Deco-inspired flair. “I would never say that constraints are a problem—they take you places you wouldn’t otherwise go,” says Mitchell.

And so, what started as a simple redecoration project became a down-to-the-slab renovation.

Fortunately, general contractor Eamonn Ryan and team were up to a challenge that included navigating a building without a freight elevator and painstakingly deploying an array of materials according to the design team’s specifications. Notes Mitchell, “The kitchen is 100% about the materials—there’s walnut, gunmetal steel, brass and highly figured stone.

I’ve done dozens of projects with Eamonn and nothing is impossible for his firm.”

As the bones of the apartment were coming together, Bauer began devising a design plan that would enhance the panorama outside while creating an elegant, enveloping ambience. The transformed foyer sets the tone for what’s to come. Lined in matte-finished walnut millwork and lit by a sparkling chandelier, it is both an entrance and a place to linger. In the living and dining areas beyond, the designer employed a tonal palette of creams, whites and beiges popped with metallic accents. “I kept everything neutral so the four seasons would speak and become the art,” Bauer says. Even the walls, which are covered in Venetian plaster, impart a luxuriously subtle feel.

Now freed from its view-obstructing closet, the reorganized primary bedroom suite is an event all its own with silk de Gournay draperies of the same pattern as the wallpaper in the dressing room. “Even though it’s two spaces, there’s a beautiful flow and a softness to them,” says Bauer. And should the couple crave a respite from the abundant light and views, a secondary sitting room that doubles as the husband’s office offers a cozy retreat with its dark chocolatelacquered walls.

With an interior that’s at once luxurious and welcoming, the couple now has a New York residence that makes their city sojourns as special for themselves as for their guests. “The apartment needed a history,” concludes Bauer.

“Through architecture and finishes, we gave it a soul and a story.”

The cozy sitting room is lacquered in a custom Fine Paints of Europe chocolate hue.
