Unexpected Journey

City Beautiful

Dark Horse

Midcentury to Modern

Releasing her creative spirit, a designer mixes whimsical elements in this British Colonial-style dwelling.

Everyday moments are reimagined through an artist’s sculptural assemblages of found objects and street photography.

Devoid of classic riding themes, an equestrian abode instead embraces its tropical setting with a splash of uplifting hues.

A nearly 75-year-old house undergoes a contemporary facelift featuring an open layout, vibrant colors and plenty of natural light.

“I am starting to see a trend in darker, deeply-hued spaces.

I would call them ‘dark and lovely,’ and this is one of my personal favorite happenings in design right now—I’ve even implemented it into my own home. Clients are requesting a more moody and sophisticated feel, and I can achieve this look by using those dark color tones, along with sensual textures and accessories.”

RATTAN REVIVAL

MAXIMALIST PATTERN PLAY

“Steeped in history, rattan is now returning to interiors—and not only in coastal or outdoor settings. I love the typical honey color, but I also enjoy seeing it used in painted hues paired with unexpected shapes. One of my favorite approaches is to mix rattan objects into more polished spaces, as it adds just the right bit of style tension to keep a room from feeling too formal.”

“Eye-catching walls are definitely making a statement.

Whether abstract, tropical or geometric, the use of vibrant color and pattern in wall art and wallpaper is bigger than ever—and I’m thrilled to see it! Minimalism has its place, but bold, expressive prints and audacious color combinations evoke a whimsy that, in my opinion, is unmatched.”

LETTER EDITOR’S

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

I wish that I could say I was interested.

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

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

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

Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

As part of the SANDOW DESIGN GROUP (SDG) carbon impact initiative, we are now printing using soy-based inks, which are biobased and derived from renewable sources. This continues SDG’s ongoing efforts to address the environmental impact of its operations and media platforms.

SHELF LIFE

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

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

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

SAVE THE DATE

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

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

Recognizing Miami as a hotspot for international art and design, independent design fair Alcova will host its first overseas exhibition in conjunction with Miami Art Week from December 6-10. The show is best known for its strong presence at Milan Design Week and for its immersive and thought-provoking events held at unique and often off-the-radar locations— changing each year for fresh inspiration.

Keeping in line with that ethos, the inaugural Alcova Miami will highlight the city’s rich cultural and architectural heritage taking place at two historical landmarks: the Selina Gold Dust on Biscayne Boulevard and the former Emancipator Boatyards, which are situated on opposite sides of the Little River. During the five-day event, renowned and emerging artists from around the world will showcase their work in exhibitions, installations and performances. alcova.xyz

STATE OF THE ART PALM BEACH ARTIST COLLECTIVE

The Palm Beach Artist Collective (PBAC), with its prime location on South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, recently expanded its gallery to showcase a greater variety of local artwork. “The new space gives art lovers, interior designers and collectors the opportunity to see original works from our 14 Florida artists,” says PBAC director Katie Barbatsuly. “Clients can spend time with the paintings, taking in the colors and textural details of each piece.”

Discover a range of mediums and styles from abstract to representational, and new works are hung on the first of every month. Patrons can also meet with artists for special commissions and custom projects. “It’s a fabulous location and wonderful space for all the events and exhibitions we have planned for the rest of the year,” Barbatsuly says. palmbeach.artistcollectives.org

DESIGN

Elevate any occasion this season with beloved Palm Beach brand Casa Branca’s newest collection.

Created by designer Alessandra Branca, her seasonal tablescape inspiration ranges from the tropical to the traditional and encourages owners to reimagine their holiday decor. Consider wavy handwoven baskets splashed in red and green; a cozy throw in a tartan pattern; green-hued, handblown champagne flutes for an elegant toast; a playful palm tree candleholder that stars as a centerpiece; indulgent dessert plates boasting floral motifs (right); and stag-embroidered linen cocktail napkins and hand towels inspired from a book of 18th-century prints.

“For me, decorating for the holidays is much like my design philosophy: It’s all about the mix,” Branca says.

“These pieces set the scene to ultimately fill spaces with love and laughter.” casabranca.com

Slated to open in March 2025, Miami development firm Terra is collaborating with global luxury wellness club The Well on 54 residences designed to make healthful living easy. “We’re excited about the generous, sunlit layouts; floor-to-ceiling windows; and many natural wood elements—increasing a connection to nature,” says Kane Sarhan, co-founder and chief creative officer of The Well. Nestled in the enclave of Bay Harbor Islands, the property’s centerpiece will be The Well Club.

After many years in the industry, how are you now approaching design? For me, design is a result of constant research, a deep understanding of my clientele and using my experience as a tool.

I love to travel and observe trends— especially fashion—but what I love the most is creating authentic stories that become pieces of furniture or places to enjoy.

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

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

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

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

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

Tucked away on windswept Block Island, the contents of Tori Jones Studio reflects the classic New England aesthetic found outside the studio’s walls. “I gravitate toward American antiques,” says Jones, a self-proclaimed magpie who splits time between the Rhode Island enclave and New York. “We’re passionate about antique patchwork quilts, painted furniture, wicker and rope.” A former editor, Jones still taps into her prowess for discovery and storytelling in the elements she curates, stocking ready-made Hobnail Czech glassware and Sabre flatware, as well as showcasing contemporary artists from the Hudson Valley to the UK. For Jones and her customers, there’s nothing like the thrill of originality. “I think the people who shop with us are looking for items with some soul. It’s an Amazon world, but there is an authenticity, timelessness and durability to antiques that can’t be replicated.” torijonesstudio.com

ISLAND TIME

MIAMI VICE Jonathan Sanchez-Obias’ Miami storefront, Primaried Studio is a sleek and minimalist paradise. The rotating portfolio of furnishings, however, are the real scenestealers, hailing largely from the 1960s through ’90s. Pieces like the ’80s black Quebec 69 Spider Chair by Les Amisca (left) and the purple Ribbon Chair by Pierre Paulin for Artifort (right) hold court on the gallery floor with furnishings by contemporary designers like Kouros Maghsoudi and Atelier Caracas for Studio Boheme. Knowledge of the past and a keen eye on the current state of design makes Sanchez-Obias a trusted source for clientele primarily consisting of first-time homeowners and renters looking to invest in their growing furniture collections. “I am always meeting people who are looking to mix vintage pieces with new designs in their homes,” says Sanchez-Obias. primariedstudio.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

Visionary works of art that are tailor designed and created by a family with legendary talents and an abiding commitment to sustainability make a powerful impact. As the co-founder and “Maestro” at BELT, Louis Beltran’s metal masterpieces have inspired the architectural and design landscape since the 1980s. “Along with my co-founder, Luz Angela Garcia, and the second generation of dreamers, Valentina and Federico Beltran, we blend our drive for preserving ancestral arts with our ability to create sustainable designs,” Louis says. Through a creative journey of collaboration, personalization and detail of craft, BELT takes each project from concept to reality. “Rooted in the principles of circular design, we tap into the infinite recyclability of metal while focusing on long-lasting durability. This approach empowers us to craft masterpieces in any size or style that evolve into timeless heirlooms.”

“At BELT, our mission springs from a masterful balance of reverence for nature, appreciation of history and passion for the art of metal,” Valentina Beltran shares. “Our commitment to preserving heritage, safeguarding finite resources and caring for the planet helps to forge a more sustainable future as we craft pieces that captivate visually and inspire reflection on our relationship with the environment. We underscore the importance of preserving our cultural and metal craft legacy through creations that stand the test of time. We challenge the disposable mindset by promoting an appreciation for pieces that can be reconditioned, repaired or restored.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

Architecture: Clemens Bruns Schaub, & The Associates Studio, LLC Interior Design: Melissa Lindsay, Pimlico Interiors by Melissa Lindsay Home Builder: Kenny Nolen, Huryn Construction Landscape Architecture: Neil Sickterman, & The Associates Studio, LLC

Reclaimed bricks form steps to the front door of the home, by architect Clemens Bruns Schaub.

Plantings such as white bird of paradise palms and golden beach creeper underscore “the tropical yet refined theme,” landscape architect Neil Sickterman notes.

O

wning a vacation home in Florida was never this Connecticut couple’s wish—at least, as far as the wife was concerned.

“My husband, on the other hand, was always sold on having a second residence here,” she notes. But one trip to visit a family friend quickly changed her mind. “As soon as we drove into the neighborhood, I thought, ‘Oh my, this is lovely,’ ” she recalls. Embarking on a house hunt soon thereafter, the pair found a listing that intrigued them: a 20-year-old British Colonial-style residence with an Asian influence, an interior courtyard, a guest suite and a cabana adjacent to the pool. “Once we virtually toured it, we knew this was the home we wanted,” she remembers. “Forty-eight hours later, we owned it.”

Because the Windsor property had great bones and a generous layout, the owners felt the need for only a minor renovation that included revamping the bathrooms and kitchen, adding a second cabana and tending to the landscaping.

So they assembled a formidable team with their longtime designer, Melissa Lindsay; the original architect, Clemens Bruns Schaub; landscape architect Neil Sickterman; and builder Kenny Nolen, whose firm constructed the house.

Having worked closely with the couple on their primary residence, Lindsay knew their preferences well. “The wife loves pattern, color and interesting mixes of both,” the designer says. “She didn’t want your classic beach house with blue and white—or a preppy or coastal vibe.” Lindsay began by tackling the most challenging space: the living room, a long, rectangular area that has sight lines to the dining room and into the kitchen. The starting point turned out to be an oversize brass floor lamp with a botanical shape that the designer and the wife instinctively discovered together during a sourcing excursion. “We both ran to it,” the client recalls with a laugh. “It was bought before we even had a furniture arrangement in mind.” Centering the lengthy room, the lamp serves as a focal point while simultaneously separating and connecting two seating areas. One end, which contains the television, features linear upholstered furnishings, while the other responds with sculptural forms, including a rounded coffee table, a crescentshaped sofa and armless rattan chairs. “The curved pieces work well with the shape of the lamp, invite

you in and counteract the box-like space,” Lindsay explains. “I love mixing unexpected styles. It creates design tension in a room and gives it soul.”

Variations of cream, teal and salmon establish the living room’s color palette and flow into the adjoining dining room, which the designer wrapped in a hand-painted floral wallpaper. “The pattern gives it a whimsical feel,” she says, “and I could pull from its colors.” A warm pink, for instance, backs the dining chairs, and teal brightens the room’s new pantry, formerly a closet.

While mindful of creating harmony in the main house, Lindsay viewed the property’s freestanding outbuildings as opportunities for presenting a different aesthetic. “Because you’re entering a whole new space,” she says, “it allowed me to be creative in a way in which I could shift the energy.” She shrouded the guest suite in an exuberant palm pattern, offering a flair that is more edgy than tropical. In the two cabanas, she then crafted distinct atmospheres— the original lined with a bold teal grass cloth for a “masculine, Havana vibe,” Lindsay describes, and the new one a sunny retreat with touches of yellow. “They’re just steps from the pool,” she adds, “and it feels like you’re in the lush greenery surrounding them.”

These structures augment the property’s outdoor-focused sensibility, says Schaub, whose original plans for the home carefully considered orientation to the shade, sunlight and breeze. “The inside supports the outside, rather than the other way around,” he explains, citing the open galleries and main living pavilion that overlooks the pool.

“All of that remained with the new owners. They embraced the spirit of the house nicely.” This is evident upon opening the front door, which reveals not an interior as expected but rather a verdant courtyard. “I call it ‘the Alice in Wonderland experience,’ ” Schaub muses. “You think you’re going inside a home, but you’re in a garden.”

Taking cues from the architecture, particularly the Asian-influenced rooflines, Sickterman introduced plantings such as traveler’s palms, bougainvillea, yellow Tabebuia and short hedges. “I imagined the courtyard being a Singapore-style garden, with a timeless, historic appearance to it,” he says.

Although spending time in the Sunshine State was never part of the wife’s plan, a change of heart came easily thanks to a sense of familiar surroundings.

“We’re amazed at how immediately comfortable this house felt,” she says. “It feels like home.”

CITY BEAUTIFUL Mixed-media artist Michael Loveland reveals the prosaic wonders of daily street life.

very city has two faces: the glittering metropolis of postcards and cinematic aerials, and the messier, pedestrian side—the weathered sidewalks, graffitied walls and mom-and-pop shops only locals know and love. Artist Michael Loveland revels in this more quotidian beauty, animating the mundane through his sculptural assemblages of found objects and street photography. “I’m more interested in cracks in the parking lot than the thing you’re supposed to look at,” he explains. “I like finding the beauty in something we bypass every day.”

Tactile memories flood the Miami native’s assemblages, which splice together artifacts such as old adverts, faded bodega signs, scrap metals patinated by rain and quintessential Floridian oddities like concrete pineapple figurines. “I love the history that comes with what I find,” Loveland says. “The scratches, the dings—it’s telling a story, and I’m just translating it.” More recent work incorporates the artist’s street photography, rendered onto glass sheets by a local commercial printer. Layered with unique finds, these images of ordinary moments—coconut trees, broken street signs, stacked rubber tires—transform everyday sights into something more lyrical.

Working on tables or the floor of his warehouse studio, Loveland plays with different configurations until “something turns on like a light switch,” he describes. Painted elements help integrate components, from hand screen-printed images to free-form gestural brushstrokes that recall buffing—the paintcovered graffiti that defines Miami’s streets.

He then installs everything around sculptural metal armatures he welds by hand.

Outside the studio, through public art projects like Omni Park—a once-derelict plot turned into a temporary parkland—the artist also enjoys giving back to the street culture that so inspired him. Surrounding residents flocked to its skateboard ramps, performance stage and art installations, including Loveland’s chickee huts fashioned from chain-link fencing and made in consultation with traditional Miccosukee chickee-hut builders. Previously barring people from the property, the repurposed fencing helped ground Miamians in the place they call home. Loveland lives for these “quiet moments, when we see the things we overlook constantly,” he notes. “That’s what life’s about: stepping back and focusing on the simplicities.”

Combining found items and his photography, Miami artist Michael Loveland (previous page) creates assemblages (bottom, right) as a way to give new light and meaning to mundane, commonly overlooked materials. His studio is a cabinet of curiosities stacked high with years of treasured finds, such as figurines (below), fabric (left), scrap metal, street signs and discarded billboards.

Dark Horse The splashy, saturated interiors of a rider’s home rewrite the rule book on equestrian chic.

S

ave for birdsong and the whir of golf carts, the streets in this estate section of South Florida’s elegant equestrian community are quiet. Its residences—all home to worldclass riders—project a calm quietude as well. But the clean lines and crisp white exterior of this particular house stand in stark contrast to the riot of fruity hues and eclectic whimsy within.

“We wanted a fun, young, happy contemporary design,” interior designer Sasha Bikoff shares.

She took on the challenge of composing interiors that steer clear of anything classically Florida— and, more specifically, anything traditional of Wellington. “When you walk into houses in this town, the decor is often horse-themed,” she adds, noting Hermès orange, saddle brown leather and equine motifs. “We decided we weren’t going to treat this like an equestrian home. Instead, we were going to enhance the tropical setting and create something uplifting and fresh.”

The client—a design-savvy professional with three daughters, one a serious rider—had already called upon architect Paulo Vicente, general contractor René Alonso and landscape architect Stephanie Portus to overhaul the property writ large. Because the residence would serve as home base for the winter equestrian season, it would need to cater to restful family time as well as a robust social calendar.

Reimagining the home began by scrubbing the interior architecture clean, finessing transitions and removing visual clutter to establish “smooth, simple, open spaces that flow nicely to the outdoors,” Vicente explains. The architect also added a fresh fenestration of black-framed windows and doors, introducing a contemporary edge to the dwelling while enhancing the convivial, alfresco mood the client so desired. “She used the phrase ‘garden party’ quite a bit,” adds Portus, who obliged with an invigorating landscape design defined by regal Canary Island date palms, sculptural groupings of Eugenia topiaries and sleek marble paving. The landscape architect also helped formulate “a procession of party spaces,” she describes of the multifaceted loggia, several courtyards and tranquil pool area.

When it came to the interiors, the owner had two specific wishes: to incorporate a set of pink lounge chairs she fell in love with after discovering them in a magazine and antiqued marble checkered floor tiles. Rather than feeling stymied by these requests, Bikoff embraced her client’s collaborative spirit, deeming the pieces perfectly in keeping with the haute-yet-playful Floridian vibe she envisioned. Both now welcome guests in the gallery—a swank, delightfully overscale foyer designed not simply as a receiving room but also as an indoor-outdoor cocktail lounge that connects to the pergola and pool. Grounded in soft gray hues via a palm-print wallpaper and crowned by a green Murano chandelier, the space acts as “a palette cleanser,” the interior designer explains. From this central hub flow Technicolor public spaces and many bedrooms, each boasting its own signature color and en suite bathroom—like lavender walls in one room, pistachio for the primary bedroom and a flamingo-pink tub for the owner.

It is hardly a surprise that the palette spans the full spectrum of the rainbow. After all, it’s what drew the homeowner to Bikoff’s work in the first place. “I’ve never been a beige-onbeige girl,” the client shares. “I looked into 100 designers, interviewed five and chose Sasha because I wanted color.” Still, Bikoff made sure to temper the tropical-pastel mélange with sandy neutrals and tangerine notes that bear a striking resemblance to, well, Hermès orange. “We did include some sneaky horse details,” she admits.

Indeed, surprises like the orange-lacquered pantry off the kitchen are riffs on the local aesthetic, as are the dining room chairs with their pony-print upholstery. Meanwhile, dark wood furnishings throughout the home offer a sly homage to Wellington’s magnificent horse barns. “The tones we chose feel like barnwood,” she says. “That was definitely a little equestrian moment, too.”

Ultimately, it’s the subtlety of this home’s many juxtapositions that make it such a visual success— and the perfect lifestyle fit for Bikoff’s client.

“At the end of the day, this house was designed for serious athletes who are tired and sore from long hours spent riding in the heat,” the interior designer explains. “They can kick off their boots and really live here. It’s comfortable, casual, artistic and elevated, all at the same time.”

et just a stone’s throw from the Intracoastal Waterway, it is no small wonder that the owners of this 1949 property were so attached to their residence of 20 years.

The couple had raised three sons in the house and developed cherished friendships along the way.

Still, despite undergoing two renovations and additions, the abode bore little resemblance to the colorful midcentury modern dwelling they desired—especially with suitable space for their active social lives, in which hosting dinner parties is a regular event.

Tiptoeing into what started as a kitchen renovation grew into a full overhaul as the couple went back-and-forth with their interior designer, Susana Stolear. First the wife inquired if the dining area could be made larger, then Stolear suggested moving the primary suite from the front of the house to the rear. “As I massaged the layout, they continued to add more changes,” she recalls. “We spent a lot of time proposing alternative layouts without gutting the house until they realized: There was no other way than taking everything out and starting fresh.”

With general contractor Michael Newman’s expertise, the two-story Bal Harbour home was torn down to the studs. “This is more challenging than constructing a new residence from the ground up, because you have to work around existing structures and mechanics,” he points out. “Producing a cohesive modern build while having those limitations makes projects like this very complex.” Much of the work took place on the main floor, including eliminating walls to create a more open plan laden with natural light. “The home had a bunch of little rooms,” Newman explains, “and we had to marry each one together.”

The changes are unmistakable from the outset. To create a grand first impression, the entry was relocated off center and given an overhang area. The result: a contemporary façade with columns and a sloping roof, elements that nod to the 1960s. Inside, a new towering 12-foot-tall foyer “gives the impression of a big house,” Stolear observes. The former foyer was replaced by an interior garden space with a porcelain wood tile runner, smoothing the transition from the outside.

Continuing that indoor-outdoor connection throughout the lower level, panoramic windows bathe the living and dining areas, kitchen and entrance library in natural light. Sliding doors, meanwhile, enhance sight lines from one end of the home to the other. “When you open the front door, the whole house opens up, with the pool as a backdrop and the garden encircling it,” Stolear says. “At night, it all lights up and sparkles.”

The new layout also generates desired space for entertaining, particularly in the connected living and dining areas. To ensure ample storage wasn’t lost, the interior designer came up with the idea of installing a custom light oak buffet in place of the dining area’s bay window. “It’s long enough to display lots of food and have good circulation around the main table,” she adds.

White walls and gray porcelain flooring establish a clean backdrop for the interiors, portraying the neutral tones Stolear favors.

However, the clients’ preference for a myriad of color pushed the interior designer creatively.

She began by introducing the wife’s favorite pairing: blue and white, seen in places such as the family room rug, the powder room’s wall tile and the living area’s statement velvet sofa. “Blue ties the house together and contrasts beautifully against the onyx tile floor and the light oak wood,” Stolear notes. Things take a more colorful spin throughout the couple’s contemporary art collection and at the bar, where the interior designer swathed the accent wall in a rainbow mural. And although most of the furnishings convey ’60s-style shapes in natural materials, Stolear stepped out of her comfort zone by cloaking the living area loveseat in a striped fabric of yellow, orange and pink.

A patterned wallcovering carries the blue-andwhite scheme into the tranquil primary bedroom, which was expanded to incorporate a seating area, a larger closet and an adjoining bathroom. Formerly facing the street, the suite’s new location offers views of the verdant grounds by landscape designer Jorge Varela. There, too, the interior’s primary color combination appears on the terrace’s Cuban porcelain tile inlay, a nod to the wife’s heritage.

Renovating the house was far more difficult than rebuilding, Stolear emphasizes. “But we all wanted this journey to happen in a beautiful way that takes advantage of the home’s bones and brings it to the next level of comfort,” she says.

And it certainly does.
