LETTER EDITOR’S
In my happy place; sitting in designer Brittany Bromley’s chic room for Kips Bay Palm Beach.
There’s a lively dialogue in the design world of late centered around the notion of “original” design and copying. I prefer to tweak the adjective to “genuine,” since everything is ultimately derivative. What is original, after all? Two great creatives of the world, Steve Jobs and Pablo Picasso both are quoted as saying, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” Hmm. What they really mean is: be influenced by an idea that inspires you, turn it on its head and make it into something entirely different. Don’t imitate...create.
Here’s what I know about design as an editor who lives it every day. There is an abundance of riches to be inspired by if you’re curious, open to observation and educating yourself about design history. There are artists, creatives and makers across the country who turn out interesting work developed with integrity. Seek them out and support them, dear reader, for they drive design and “originality,” pushing everything to be ever more captivating, compelling and joyful. As design should be.

INSPIRED BY PLACE BY CLB ARCHITECTS Over the last three decades, CLB Architects has helped define a modern architectural language for the Rocky Mountain West. With CLB’s first monograph, readers can immerse themselves in the firm’s bold, modern designs set in impossibly beautiful landscapes, from CLB’s home bases in Jackson, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana, to farther afield. Principal Eric Logan tells us more. clbarchitects.com What does it mean to be releasing your first monograph? As a product of the West, my goal has always been to look at our surroundings and translate them into buildings that are meaningful today rather than perpetuate nostalgia. Thirty years later, we have a foundation of work that reflects our unique voice in this environment.
HOTEL GRAND STARK Portland’s latest hotel mixes old and new for a modernized throwback style that seems as though it was plucked from a Wes Anderson movie. Housed in a historic four-story building in the developing Central Eastside neighborhood, Palisociety’s Hotel Grand Stark brings the structure back to its hospitality roots— it opened as a hotel in 1908 but had been the site of a local furniture manufacturer for the past 80 years. Portland-based North 45 Projects designed the hotel’s common areas, partnering with local contemporary art gallery Nationale to commission new artworks from celebrated artists like Ka’ila Farrell-Smith, Shiela Laufer and Aruni Dharmakirthi. These sit alongside vintage studio pottery, furniture and wood sculptures for a space that North 45 Projects principal Eric Cheong describes as akin to “visiting an affable Portland friend’s art loft.” As Palisociety founder Avi Brosh explains, “The overall approach was to create a vibe that is identifiably Northwestern but also unpretentious and quietly luxe at the same time.” palisociety.com/hotels/hotel-grand-stark

“DUANE LINKLATER: MYMOTHERSSIDE”
SCENE
DESIGN
Omaskêko Cree artist Duane Linklater puzzles and confounds, crafting culturally entangled artworks that seduce viewers into facing the paradoxes of contemporary Indigenous life. In Linklater’s latest show at Seattle’s Frye Art Museum, opening September 18, chief curator Amanda Donnan presents a survey of his art from the last decade, including new site-responsive installations—and gave us all the details. fryemuseum.org Why did you choose to feature Duane Linklater at the Frye? I admire the complexity of ideas Duane is able to tap into using an economy of means, and it felt important that the museum and Seattle grapple with the concerns animating his work—namely, the marginalization and misapprehension of contemporary Indigenous perspectives.
Share some of your favorite pieces. The exhibition ranges from more poetic, intimately-scaled moments to politically-charged feats of architectural engineering. My favorites tend to walk between those extremes. Can the circle be unbroken, 2019 (left) is a set of five large tepee cover “paintings” that Duane made following the death of his mother. The covers are installed hanging taut, draping on the walls, or folded on the floor, which to me powerfully evokes a loss of center. The circle of home is broken. What is the significance of this show? Duane’s work asks important and difficult questions that have broad implications but remain grounded in his own experience. Perhaps the significance is simply that—honoring an Indigenous person and artist’s complex subjectivity and range of expression.
OPEN HOUSE
This fall, renowned European-made furniture company Resource opens its first Northwest showroom inside the newly renovated Seattle Design Center in the industrial-hip Georgetown neighborhood. The company’s slick collection of transforming and multifunctional furniture—from luxury Italian wall beds to bookshelves with built-in telescoping tabletops and an array of storage systems and seating options—insists that design-forward furniture can have cutting-edge technology and functionality without sacrificing style. The Seattle locale will feature a mix of new and classic Resource pieces that help tease out multiple uses from compact spaces. A champion for smallspace living, Resource has supported the research and development of ADU and prefab homes throughout North America. “As one of the leading cities for micro-housing developments, Seattle was a natural fit for Resource’s expansion,” says co-founder Ron Barth. Challie Stillman, Resource’s Head of Sales & Design, agrees. “We attract the design-obsessed, innovationseekers and out-of-the-box thinkers. We’re proud to bring our unique philosophy to Seattle, where we know we’ll be surrounded by a community of like-minded design enthusiasts.” resourcefurniture.com

Folk Spirit A PIONEERING DESIGN BRAND TOASTS FIVE YEARS WITH A TRIBUTE TO ITS BOHEMIAN ROOTS.
Mind the Gap’s Transylvanian Roots collection is a flourish of color, pattern and texture evocative of the region’s rich cultural heritage.
LUXESOURCE.COM
Five years ago, Stefan Ormenisan took a leap when he launched a bespoke wallcoverings line—the first of its kind in his home country of Romania—with his business partner Victor Serban. “This was one of the biggest challenges—convincing people from around the world that we are doing serious things with great taste and beautiful stories,” says Ormenisan. Today, the creative director spends much less time convincing and a lot more time dreaming, as evidenced by the brand’s anniversary collection, Transylvanian Roots—a transportive maximalist assemblage of fabrics, wallpapers and furnishings emblematic of his homeland’s rich Bohemian spirit. “Once an independent country, Transylvania was a melting pot of peoples, cultures and traditions, from Saxons, Hungarians and Romanians to Székelys, Ashkenazi Jews, Armenians and Gypsies,” says Ormenisan, who takes pride in his mixed Romanian, Saxon, Hungarian and Armenian heritage. “When creating these pieces, we drew on the idyllic memories of our childhood summers spent with grandparents in the countryside.” In those traditional homes, embroidered textiles softened wooden furniture while trimmed and tasseled lamps brightened winter nights—themes reflected in the collection’s jubilant cushions, lampshades and wall art. Ornamental and decorative motifs in lush reds, yellows and greens recall vintage patterns and color palettes used by folk artists for hundreds of years, while painterly botanicals reference Central Asian suzanis and Slavic and Ottoman influences. “I love the diversity in

such a small area—all of the traditions and customs belonging to different cultures that live together to form the authentic heritage of this place,” says the creative director. While Ormenisan believes Transylvanian Roots, with its detailed embroidery and handmade finishes, is equally befitting a rural cottage or city setting, he muses it would shine in a stately Georgian manse in London. “I imagine a large garden with a stylish topiary, a monumental entrance and a sumptuous drawing room with a large-buttoned sofa upholstered in the finest cotton velvet with embroidered and printed fabrics,” envisions the creative director. But for now, Ormenisan will dream a little closer to home. With his business partner, he recently purchased a hunting manor in the Romanian town of Presaca that once belonged to noble Hungarian families—making it the ideal backdrop for the brand’s storybook prints like Erdely, Vixen and Enchanted Woodland. “Surrounded by mystical scenery with smooth hills and vast woodland, when you enter this village, you feel the old history entering your body; a timeless vault,” he explains. “I love how time has stopped here, creating a world full of originality and romance.”

THE EXPERT TAKE ON MURALS. “ We did a huge silhouette of native Oregon plants in a main bedroom. The design bled onto the ceiling and window frames. The result is fantastic.” –STEWART HORNER, PENNY BLACK INTERIORS
When describing the allure of a mural, New York artist Anne Harris calls out their immersive nature saying, “They command an interior, and they engulf a physical space and transport you.” She’s been practicing the art form ever since she first viewed Italian frescoes in person, an experience that was so powerful she describes it as “head spinning.” Harris notes that while wallpaper adds color and pattern to an interior, murals offer something else. “With wallpaper, you have a repeating pattern,” she says. “But with a mural, you have interest that continues around a room, and you can see the intent, the perspective and the hand of the artist.” Painting murals is an ancient art, and they can be found decorating walls throughout the millennia, in places ranging from Egyptian tombs to Pompeiian homes to Indian palaces. But Harris sees the uptick in their recent popularity as a rebellion against “the white-gray-neutral rooms we’ve been living in the last several years.” For some, the word “mural” conjures an image of traditional pastoral settings, but many contemporary muralists embrace an unexpected aesthetic. Take artist JohnPaul Philippe, whose abstract work often contains a series of modern, biomorphic forms. With an architectural approach to his
LUXESOURCE.COM
craft, he pulls inspiration from the spirit of the place where his murals will live. “A lot of my work is an articulation of what is going on around it,” says the artist, who splits his time between New York and Connecticut. He credits his use of color and form to his childhood in Oklahoma, where he had an unofficial apprenticeship with the local billboard painter. “It made me completely unafraid to paint large,” he says. Youthful experiences also influence San Francisco’s Rafael Arana, who began his artistic journey by spraying graffiti on walls around his hometown. Although he is no stranger to classic motifs, his work often has a different flavor—such as a pair of brilliantly hued iguanas that dance across the ceiling of a Presidio Heights mansion. Noting that many of his clients, even those in private residences, are looking for an Instagram-worthy moment, he adds: “Like graffiti, murals are an attention grabber— they stand out and start a conversation.” Arana says it’s that compelling quality that drives demand for his murals—some of which take several weeks of 16-hour days to complete. “A hand-painted mural is customizable and can bring a client’s vision to life,” he says. “It can tell a story the way few other elements can.”
–MARIE FLANIGAN, MARIE FLANIGAN INTERIORS
“ I have a hand-painted Chinese mural in my living room. It constantly draws me into the space.” –ALEX PAPACHRISTIDIS, ALEX PAPACHRISTIDIS INTERIORS
“ We’re doing a large mural in a stairwell because hanging art would be tricky there. Covering the walls in this manner makes it instantly more special.” – J ULIE MASSUCCO KLEINER AND MELISSA WARNER ROTHBLUM, MASSUCCO WARNER
“ Dining rooms and entries are prime locations for dramatic murals—these welcoming and entertaining areas set the stage for the rest of the home.” –KATIE LEEDE, KATIE LEEDE STUDIO

Sartorial Sense FASHION DESIGNER CHRISTIAN SIRIANO DELVES INTO THE WORLD OF DECOR. W R I T T E N BY C AT H E R I N E H O N G P H O T O G R A P H Y BY B R I T TA N Y A M B R I D G E
“I’m not an overthinker,” says designer Christian Siriano when it comes to decorating his Westport, Connecticut, home. “I buy pieces that I like and try them out—that’s the fun part of the design process.”
Last spring, Christian Siriano had only just closed on his new house—a 6,000-squarefoot glass-and-stucco dwelling in Westport, Connecticut—when the country went into lockdown. Instead of using that time to slow down and feather his nest, the Project Runway star immediately shifted into superhero mode, rallying his atelier to sew thousands of masks for health care workers. Then, in the months following, he presented a new ready-towear collection, whipped up Covid red carpet looks for Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga and introduced a bridal line. Perhaps most surprisingly, Siriano announced his entry into the home space, launching an interior design studio and debuting a glamorous collection of geometric Postmodern furniture on 1stdibs—all this before wrapping up season 19 of Project Runway. “Yeah, I’m keeping busy,” laughed Siriano when Luxe checked in on the designer at his home in Connecticut.

You’ve said that if you hadn’t gone into fashion, you might have become an interior designer—and now you have. Did this affection for interiors begin when you were a child in Annapolis, Maryland? My mom was really into interior design and as a kid I always visited antiques shops with her. Even though our house had a sort of nautical, Nantucket feel that’s more traditional than my taste now, I have to say, I still love a beachy, coastal room. What did your room look like? I had a lot of stripes and plaids because I was into the Ralph Lauren look. My walls were a bright cobalt blue and filled with paintings from the flea market. I had a picture of Alicia Silverstone from Clueless up too, which is hilarious because now Alicia and I are close friends. Your furniture collection doesn’t play it safe. Share the inspiration. I made
pieces that I wanted. I think the chairs almost look like little people in dresses. They’re modern and neutral in color, but they have warmth and texture. The million-dollar question: How are you doing all this? Running an interiors firm on top of a fashion company is no easy feat. I have two full-time people working with me on interiors. But I’m literally the most insane multitasker there is. Juggling and taking on different types of projects is what I’ve always done. One of my strengths is that I’m not an overthinker. I make decisions very quickly. What’s your secret for working with clients? Projects can take years in highend interior design. We may be a new interiors firm, but I have dealt with some of the most unbelievable, challenging, famous and insane fashion clients in the world. Believe me, I can deal with an indecisive or difficult personality. That, I’m good at.

A PARTICULAR PARTNERSHIP Kazumi Yoshida, Clarence House
When one door closes, another door opens— or so they say. For longtime Clarence House creative director and visionary artist Kazumi Yoshida that time came in 2019 when, after nearly 40 years at the legendary textile company and several owners in between, Fabricut acquired the brand making Yoshida’s retirement seem inevitable. Yet instead, the creative director was so touched by the enthusiasm of his new employers that he decided to stay on and begin a new chapter. With the Fabricut partnership in place, Yoshida thought the 60 th anniversary of Clarence House would be the perfect opportunity to pay homage to his original collaborator, Robin Roberts, who founded the brand in 1961.

Woven Threads
With Champagne taste and an eye for glamour, Roberts’ atelier quickly became the destination for something unique during the ’60s—gorgeous bolts were coveted by New York society, and the rest of the country soon caught on. As appetite increased for original motifs, Yoshida was hired and his first assignment was to transform an old document from India into a new pattern that eventually became Papiers Japonais, still currently one of the bestselling

Clarence House designs. The dynamic alliance between the two creatives allowed the business to flourish. Today, Yoshida’s 60 th anniversary collection brings to life an opulent time in history that Roberts was particularly fond of: the grand yet bizarre period of the early 18 th century, which the creative director describes as “Oscar Wilde with a twist.” Impressively, Yoshida still paints each design by hand—a rarity in the world of fabrics and wallpapers. clarencehouse.com

FRESH FACE
Sumitra Mattai, Scalamandré Early on, Sumitra Mattai realized that everything around her was designed and created by someone, and she indeed wanted to be that someone. “I always knew I loved textiles, and when I doodled, I doodled in pattern,” says Mattai, now Scalamandré’s senior design director. Growing up in suburban New Jersey with influences from her Guyanese and Indian heritage, Mattai says she couldn’t deny the creative pull. Founded in 1929 by Franco Scalamandré, an Italian immigrant with an engineering background, Scalamandré saw an opportunity for creating silks domestically in lieu of importing them from abroad. Success swiftly followed. From famous estates to the White House to one particular Wes Anderson film, the brand’s designs have made their mark on American culture.
LUXESOURCE.COM
Three years into the role, Mattai is off and running with her natural gift for product design—fashion, fine art and the brand’s archives all inform her ideas. And she has acknowledged that the fabric house means different things to different people, whether it’s a loyal client of 50 years or someone who has recently discovered the company by way of their new partnership with The Inside. As for what’s next, the Sahara collection will debut later this year. Inspired by North Africa, the line boasts large-scale patterns and rich colors. Plus, there’s a new Leaping Cheetah design—a play on the infamous Zebra wallpaper. Surely, this is just the beginning for Mattai. “The magic of seeing something I draw or paint come back as a beautiful design…it never gets old,” she says. scalamandre.com

FORWARD LOOKING Mickey Riad, Fortuny
“We are here for a short amount of time, but Fortuny deserves to be here forever,” observes Mickey Riad, artistic director of the inspirational Italian textile house. With the 100-year anniversary of Fortuny’s Venice factory on the horizon, it’s a time of reflection for the brand. The story begins in the early 1900s when Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny created silk dresses and textiles in Venice. After making a name for himself, the company was lovingly placed in the hands of designer Elsie McNeill Lee in 1949, who, 20 years prior, brought Fortuny to New York’s Madison Avenue and established the brand’s position in the U.S. market. In 1988, Maged Riad bought the company from Lee, and eventually his sons, Mickey and Maury, began working for the new family business. Fast-forward 23 years and Mickey Riad is designing collections and shepherding the brand into the future. But no matter what direction the designs take, Venice, “the fountain of inspiration,” is always at the core. The latest collection, Imago, celebrates not only Venice but its supporting characters— local places and things are woven into the literal and

metaphorical fabric of the company. Barberini (above, top left) is named after the noble Roman family whose Palazzo featured a lush secret garden; the reintroduced Simboli (shown to Riad’s right in portrait above) was used on early notebooks for the brand. The magic is in embracing the originality of Fortuny, while still looking ahead. For the artistic director, the longer he continues at the Italian fabric house, the more relevance he sees in founder Mariano Fortuny, and his lasting influence. fortuny.com

At the Manuel Canovas studio, design director Olivia Deruelle poses with some of her latest designs including Pondicherry and Bengale. Below is the embroidered fabric Ango.
COLLECTED APPROACH Olivia Deruelle, Manuel Canovas
“I am always looking for treasures,” says Olivia Deruelle, design director at Manuel Canovas, of sourcing inspiration for upcoming collections at the famed French fabric house. Growing up in Brittany, a charming region dotting the coast of France, this idea of collecting pieces from nature and the sea was embedded at an early age and continues to be a common theme in her current role. Coincidently, Monsieur Manuel Canovas, who founded his namesake brand in 1963, was also an incredible collector of art, crafts and antiques, and eventually grew the company internationally to encompass fabrics, wallpapers and carpets. It is this collectors’ sensibility, both from the past and present, that has curated beautiful designs that feel at once au courant and incredibly refined. While color continues to be at the heart of the brand, Deruelle focuses on maximalist, narrative-driven patterns; the result is an eclectic mix infused with happiness and joy. It was fitting then for her first collection released this year, that the focus was on French joie de vivre and exploring the modern interpretation of Toile de Jouy fabrics and wallcoverings. Classic Canovas motifs including Bengale and La Musardiere were recolored in vivid hues, and introductions like Pondicherry and Nara have farther flung influences including Japanese architecture and an Indian palace. Finding joy in the process of textile making is important to the design director as she considers Manuel Canovas’ honored heritage and gently steers the company into the future. Whether delving into the archives or working with contemporary artists and her team to develop original patterns, the guiding principle is to stay true to a brand that has created so much happiness and exuberance through the language of fabrics. cowtan.com

GOLDEN AGE LILSE MCKENNA INC.
“I love the challenge of putting together kitchens and baths, and I really interrogate my clients about how they live in these functional rooms,” says New York-based designer Lilse McKenna, who explains that a lot of wasted space can accumulate if the needs and wants of clients are ignored. For a home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that dates to 1750, investing in the details—everything from the materials and hardware to the finishes and fittings—allowed the renovated kitchen and bath to maintain its historic feel while still embracing a new and elevated scheme. lilsemckenna.com Where did you start? It was very important to the clients that when embarking upon this renovation, we paid homage to the heritage of the home and brought in elements that felt authentic and even patinated. Cue the tongue-and-groove walls, antique ceiling beams, butcher-block style countertop and pine flooring that we dyed instead of stained in keeping with 18th-century ethos. The kitchen island (previous page) is beautiful! We hung the custom Ann-Morris pot rack to make it feel like an older kitchen, but it really grounds the entire space and balances out the massive island. I also like the collected feel of mixing metals; here we used antique copper pots, brass lighting and fittings, and a treated stainless-steel hood. Some may have rules about finishes but I always just go with what feels right in the space. Talk to us about this extra sink (right)? The homeowners cook and entertain constantly and needed two sinks and dishwashers, so we added a prep area with a charming, hammered copper sink and painted cabinetry. This allows for a bit more storage, so things feel less cluttered. Everyone always ends up in the kitchen and I strive to make sure the details here are just as beautiful as in the rest of the house. In a Maryland home by Lilse McKenna, shown here and on previous page, the kitchen features custom cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s Inchyra Blue and Benjamin Moore’s Ivory White. A House of Rohl pot filler sits above a Lacanche range while Hickory Chair stools upholstered in Holly Hunt leather round out the decoration. Waterworks’ copper sink and fittings adorn the prep area. The architectural scheme is by Michael Elfenbein Design.
LUXESOURCE.COM
SEA CHANGE
The primary bathroom follows the same guiding principles as the kitchen. Vaulted ceilings and antique wide-plank flooring throughout connect the spaces. In the water closet, McKenna added paneling painted in Benjamin Moore’s Silken Blue to complement Bennison Fabrics’ showstopping Wheat Flower. To create the feeling of an old historic bedroom that had been converted into a bath, the designer included antique etched hurricanes with custom brass and mahogany backplates.
PERFECT FIT
As much as the designer wanted to fabricate a new vanity for the bath, nothing was turning out quite as well as the 18th-century chest she had found, which fit snuggly into the footprint of the room. She added a marble countertop and backsplash, along with fittings and a sink. The chest’s beautiful original finish was kept as is.
photos: read mckendree/jsba.
WATERED DOWN
An old-fashioned copper Waterworks tub adds to the narrative that this was once a small bedroom original to the home that had been adopted as a bath over time. Placing the piece away from the wall and installing the fittings directly into the floor contributes to the authentic feel.

Talk about a focal point. Wrapped in handpolished brass, Waterworks’ Emile Freestanding Oval Cast Iron Bathtub is as classic as it is eye-catching and versatile. Curved lines nod to vintage tubs while the “of-the-moment” finish effortlessly complements both a clean and crisp backdrop or a more maximalist, patterned surrounding. waterworks.com

For designer Liz Caan’s own 1920s Georgian-style home in Boston’s Chestnut Hill, it was without question that when it came to aesthetics, her choices would be ultra-personal—inspired by the work of trusted vendors and objects collected from travels. “The powder room is a play of opposites,” says Caan, “old and new, classic and industrial.” This charming sink vignette is comprised of a Watermark faucet, Soane sconces and Antoinette Poisson wallpaper. Best of all, the designer notes, “It’s constructed of truly natural and solid materials that will age beautifully.” lizcaan.com

FRENCH FLAIR L’ATELIER PARIS
The custom kitchen purveyor’s cofounder and senior design director Maria Moraes walks us through a Pawleys Island, South Carolina, project that’s thought out to a T. leatelierparis.com
The range is a stunning statement piece. Tell us about it. It’s a custom Le Classique style La Provençale 2100 range in the exclusive Blanc de Blancs colorway. It includes 82.5 inches of prime cooking space with two large convection ovens, 4 gas burners, a smooth griddle and a coup de feu. Polished brass trim complements the stainless-steel powder-coated base, and the surrounding cabinetry is wire-brushed oak. Share any other noteworthy elements. We always include thoughtful details in our L’Atelier kitchens. On this island, the sink’s faucet sits just below the countertop on a small ledge so when people sit at the island, they don’t have to look at sponges, dish soap or collected water. These nuances make all the difference.

What did the homeowners request? The clients were building their forever home by the beach and asked for a fresh, clean look. However, after we installed the brass finishes, they realized the space was really more like a jewel box! The range fit right in with the custom metalwork and bright brass accents. Plus, the couple loves to cook, so this was an important feature.

QUIET REFLECTION
A MANHATTAN DINING ROOM MAKES MAGIC OF ITS INWARD CONFINES.
On Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a classic six apartment had just one dark quality: its courtyard-facing dining room, which called for a thoughtful lighting program. Enter New York and Miami-based designer Elizabeth Bolognino, who, alongside Anderson Kenny Architecture, installed a fresh fenestration, including a matching window connecting to the kitchen to borrow its sunlight. In addition to a 12-headed Gabriel Scott chandelier (“I really wanted it to look like an anthropomorphic jewel;” she says), Bolognino commissioned decorative artist Dean Barger to paint a pale pink lacquered ceiling to mimic the surface of a calm lake. “Any time you bring in reflection, it makes a room feel bigger,” she says, adding, “Any time you can utilize light as art, you should do it.” elizabethbolognino.com

ALL ANGLES A NAPA ENTERTAINING BARN CONDUCTS A GRAND LIGHTING EXPERIMENT.
LUXESOURCE.COM
“The very essence of this project was about exploring the play of light,” shares architect William Duff of the century-old Wine Country hay barn he reconceived. Set amidst his clients’ lush vineyard and impressive modern sculpture gardens, the crisp California sun played muse to Duff’s proposed reincarnation of the outbuilding as an entertaining pavilion with a contemporary spirit. “The first time I walked the existing barn, I was struck by the way sunlight filtered through the gaps in the wood siding and thought that light, and the different ways it can illuminate
space, could be the guiding design theme for the project,” he explains. In turn, the original wood-slatted shell was maintained as a screen to splash abstract patterns across the floor by daylight. By evening, the structure then casts beams across the grounds like a glowing lantern. Joined by two new opposing glass volumes with mirrored walls, and a discreet lighting program, the project perfectly synthesizes how artificial and natural light, along with clever visual illusion, can elevate a humble structure to something extraordinary. wdarch.com
SHINE ON METALLIC WALL TREATMENTS OFFER A DAZZLING WAY TO PLAY WITH LIGHT.
GOLD STANDARD
For designer and entrepreneur Rocky Rochon, solving the problem of how paint color is affected by shifting light sources prompted the birth of The Paint Laboratory, a custom paint company governed by metamerism: the science of light reflection. While all specialty paints are developed to troubleshoot specific design woes, Rochon’s metallic special finishes—available in any Rocky Rochon paint color—aim to brighten even the darkest corners via pearlescent additives designed to refract and create a luminous shimmer. thepaintlaboratory.com
FRESH PERSPECTIVE
Good things happen when Brooklyn creatives collide. Take Patina Studies, a mesmeric line of wallcoverings from the boutique wallpaper studio Wallpaper Projects in collaboration with design practice Kin & Company. Admiring Kin & Company’s arresting metal patinas— the result of chemical experiments on bronze— at a shared trade show, Wallpaper Projects’ husband-and-wife owners, David Jimenez and Amanda Dandeneau, saw an exciting opportunity to develop an atmospheric wallpaper. Printed on gleaming mylar, the patterns— seen here in Patina Studies 1, Patina Studies 2 and Patina Studies 3 installed by Ellis Design Studio at London venue Electric Shuffle—are designed as an experience unto themselves. Fluctuating sunbeams, shadows and artificial light sources pick up on different nuanced metallic reflections, creating a dynamic, ever-changing canvas. wallpaperprojects.com

Despite their different functions, these two all-important spaces share one thing in common: they are oases of great design. In this special section, you will explore the latest in high-tech features and appliances, color palettes, materials and textures, distinctive furnishings, lighting, hardware and more—it all comes together in kitchens and baths that are the design pioneers of the cutting-edge home.

Kitchens and baths have become the centerpiece for home innovation. Everything from lighting integrated into cabinet drawers and hidden in the frame of wall cabinets to smart appliances that guide a novice chef through the steps of preparing a gourmet meal help create the perfect mix of form and function. “Even the design process and renderings are getting better all the time,” says Vlad Khan, founder of Absolute Sequel. The stone fabricator uses tech in the home long before smart appliances are ever installed in order to select and plan the perfect materials for a project, such as self-healing surfaces to porcelain and sintered stones as the surface for cabinetry. When it comes to designing for a modern home, Khan says the key is “knowing what is possible and available, and how to integrate functional solutions into the design.”

“Wellness is the focal point for many bath amenity vendors,” Nathanael Chown says. To create a spa-like experience at home, he suggests installing an air tub or steam shower. Lighted mirrors and an updated vanity can enhance the bath’s overall design and appeal as well. Joel Chown also notes a trend toward hands-free sensor faucets that use laser activation rather than motion sensors.

Nathanael Chown, showroom sales manager at Chown Hardware, describes modern Pacific Northwest style as a blend of contemporary architecture with classic, earthy materials and finishes. One design element he says is indicative of the area is metal finishes designed to age with a natural patina, giving current-day fixtures an old-world feel. “Chown’s focus is to educate every customer and build upon our simple core promise to sell the most innovative and beautifully designed products on the market paired with the most knowledgeable staff,” Chown says. The family-owned business boasts five generations of experience in the architectural hardware industry. Throughout the years, the company has cultivated relationships with international manufacturers in order to provide the most luxury kitchen and bath fixtures to enhance the design and comfort of a home.
“Balance is the key. Have fun with design and focus on the narrative of your entire home. Each room tells a different story.”

“By seamlessly blending old with new, our designs do not follow a certain style or trend, but are classic for years to come.”
donnadufresnedesign
More than 20 successful years in the industry means that interior designer Donna DuFresne can confidently assert that form follows function—especially in kitchens. In fact, it’s her No. 1 rule when designing these versatile, high-volume spaces. “If it does not work well,” she says, “it is not a good design.” When designing a kitchen, DuFresne says to not lose focus of the big picture in all facets of the space, from the floor plan to material selection. “In an open floor plan, it’s important to consider how the kitchen cabinets interact with the space as a whole. Ensure that the color, cabinet style and layout is balanced with the rest of the space,” she explains. When selecting materials, DuFresne advises, once again, to always remember the whole picture. “Never be blinded by that one element you must have without considering how it will play out in the big picture,” she adds.
DO’S + DON’TS • Do invest in quality plumbing: Durability and usability are central to picking the right plumbing, always considering form follows function.
•D on’t be afraid to use color: Greens and blue in the right tone can create a beautiful backdrop and work as a neutral color in a room.
•D o indulge in a tub: A great bathtub with a handheld spray is always a good idea.
•D o learn about advances in digital and laser-jet printing: Bedrosians’ Magnifica Encore, for example, are laser-jet-printed porcelain slabs that perfectly mimic the look of natural stone without the maintenance.
• Don’t forget this kitchen appliance: A microwave-warming drawer combination.
Above In 1960, this home was remodeled by iconic architect, Richard Sundeleaf. The goal here was to retain its original charm and create an updated environment. Top left By relocating the stairwell to the basement of this home built in 1937, DuFresne was able to create an open layout and address the culinary needs of the family.

Whether a spa lover or parents of young children; a gourmet chef or takeout lover, Thomas says everyone needs a tub with a view in the bath and a quality range in the kitchen. “Relaxing in the bathtub goes back centuries, so designing a space to take advantage of the natural elements around this takes any master bath to the next level,” he says. “And the range is the most versatile appliance in the kitchen, serving up every need, from warming up takeout to cooking a Michelin star meal. Picking the right one that fits the client’s lifestyle is crucial in making the kitchen a functional area they will love to come home to and use time and time again.”

Continuing the 60-year legacy of her parents, John and Gloria Buchan, is CEO Heather Dosch.

There is no algorithm for creating the perfect kitchen. That’s because this foundational space should embody the behavior and tastes of its unique owners. However, there are rules that have been established for the purpose of efficiency. Interior designer Kerry McHugh seeks to balance preference and practicality in her work. “Be authentic to the client and the space,” she asserts. “There is no cookie-cutter approach, but there are some basic rules of thumb, like keeping the dishwasher in close proximity to the sink.” After that, she explains, the kitchen should be looked at through the lens of the home’s primary cook. Material selection, an art form in its own right, should be centered on one key piece—the other items are then inspired by and drawn from it. “To avoid a disjointed space, each piece selected shouldn’t be unique and screaming for attention,” she advises.

Design expertise and enduring style define Maison Inc.’s 20 years of success. When designing a kitchen or bath, Joelle Nesen, president and lead designer at Maison Inc. says not to just follow the latest trends or focus on aesthetics, but to also consider how the space will fit your lifestyle. Maison guides clients through this process so that no two designs look the same. “We approach every project as bespoke,” she says. “We spend time getting to know our clients so we can design the best space for their needs, rather than focusing on a signature look or product.” When a personalized design project is complete, Maison’s clients end up with a kitchen or bath they can enjoy for years to come. “You should spend as much money as you can the first time around—with the right designer—because if you don’t, you will inevitably end up renovating again,” Nesen says.

PATINAS + PALETTES Whether a project calls for dark and moody hues or fresh and light shades, Maison relies on the patina of natural materials, like dark basalt or pale gray limestone, to ground the space. “Everything doesn’t need to be perfect; the beauty is in the patina,” Nesen says. “There’s a soul to those materials that we love, and we shy away from austerity whenever possible.”

For MN Custom Homes, pleasing the homeowner alone is not enough. The company, founded by childhood friends Joe Naeseth and Shaun McFadden, is built on the philosophy of creating “thoughtful homes that inspire community.” “This ideal extends to contributing to our community through our MN Cares program, which addresses our approach to being good neighbors where we build, partnering with local non-profit Jubilee REACH and taking an environmentally conscious approach to residential construction,” Co-Owner Shaun McFadden says. This mindset impacts the way MN Custom Homes design their projects, as well. “The concept of a kitchen has been modified throughout the years, but one thing has always remained the same, the kitchen is the gathering place of the home.” In each project, the builders create beautifully designed spaces that are ideal for entertaining family, friends and neighbors.

Builder Joey Fentress addresses the intangibles that make a kitchen work exceptionally well. “Clearly defined work spaces and a good flow between work spaces and kitchen appliances should be considered in every kitchen,” he says.
Who better to ask for guidance in the realm of kitchens and baths than a top home builder? Joey Fentress, principal and founder of Proform Builds, shares not only a wealth of knowledge on the subject, but has good news to share: “Materials don’t have to be the most expensive,” he says. “It’s more about the quality of the installation. Our signature service is craftsmanship and how we use innovative materials and new techniques.” The essence of Proform-crafted kitchens are lightfilled spaces where homeowners can work and relax, emphasizing elements that invite people to gather. For Fentress, creating an indoor-outdoor feel is important to bringing nature into the home. Aesthetically, the custom home builder points to natural tones, whites and grays with brilliant pops of color. “Good lighting and sufficient storage,” he adds, “are equally important in both kitchens and bathrooms.”
“Open plans allow for an easy flow with the rest of the home and help the connection between the indoors and outdoors.”

Doing things right the first time around is imperative for both a project’s budget and timeline. Nathalie Roloff, co-owner of the design-build company Roloff Construction, says the key to this is proper planning. “We believe the more time spent in design and pre-construction, the better the construction experience,” she says. Roloff Construction has been designing and building timeless homes constructed from organic materials in the Portland area for 22 years. With an in-house architect, designer and team of carpenters, the company promises thoroughness and quality workmanship on every project. “We work in a lot of older homes and opening a floor plan while still honoring the original structure can be tricky,” Roloff says. “Anyone can blow out all the walls, but it takes careful planning to open the floor plan properly.”

Going into any project, CEO Dawn Wilkinson encourages her team to create contrast. “Contrast can really set apart a well-designed kitchen and bath from a spectacularly designed kitchen and bath,” says Wilkinson, who founded Six Walls in 2004. One way to accomplish this is to mix materials within the same space. This could mean mixing stone with metal or wood, or even mixing various shades of each of those elements. Wilkinson’s rule of thumb for mixing metals is to stick to two or three variants overall and to assign meaning to each. For instance, a kitchen might have aged brass lighting, matte black hardware and sterling silver plumbing. “This way there is a cohesiveness and sense of familiarity as your eyes circulate the room,” Wilkinson says. The Six Walls design team often blends different interior styles and colors to bring depth and dimension to their projects.

T
he words, “I want to have a little fun with this house,” are music to a designer’s ears. And that’s exactly what Peter Dunham’s client said upon hiring him to craft the interiors of the Whitefish, Montana, vacation home she shares with her husband. To Dunham, “fun” meant playing to the expansive lake views from the residence’s hillside location. It also meant going a bit wild, blending elements from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, and layering with art and handmade pieces. “I’ve never done this particular look for another client in this environment and context,” he says. “It’s very much tailored to their style and the locale.” The clients emphasized the importance of respecting the surrounding environment. To speak to the local vernacular, Dunham recommended residential designer Larry Pearson. He was familiar with Pearson’s work and confident that he could create the contemporary but relaxed vibe the couple was looking for yet stay true to the setting. “We love regional materials,” notes Pearson, who worked with general contractor Kelcey Bingham to incorporate recycled timber and Montana moss rock. “The exterior color scheme and materials blend into the setting,” adds Bingham. A sense of place was top of mind for landscape architect Kurt Vomfell as well. “The goal was to reflect the character of Montana,” says Vomfell. He points to the native and near-native plantings he used that “feel like they were found in a meadow here.” While the team wanted the residence to fit in, they also wanted it to be aesthetically interesting. So, Pearson flipped the script on a classic lake house. A guest house was erected at the top of the hill, with the main house set below. The entry from the motor court leads to a foyer from which a stone staircase descends into the social spaces at lake level. “This is a home that touches the water,” Pearson says. “So, you’re engaging with the lake.” A contemporary style was important, but, Pearson asserts, an ultra-sleek modern home was never his goal. It was important, he says, “that you can take your shoes off, walk down to the

beach, jump in a boat and come back in soaking wet.” Adds Dunham: “It was much more about organic modernism. Larry was very invested in how his design was working between these materials. You’ve got really beautiful stonework, woodwork, hand-troweled plasterwork and iron elements that he brought in.” Since the clients didn’t want what Dunham calls “a serious, monochromatic house,” he incorporated color but carefully considered its usage. “The outside view is stunning with the shades of blue and gray-blue. When the lake goes bright, it’s green,” he says. “You’ve got the green of the trees and the colors of the mountains. So those are what you want to celebrate.” The designer worked in verdant tones through furnishings such as teal pendants in the kitchen, a sea-green sofa in the foyer and light green swivel chairs in the living room. Varying shades of sand that nod to the beach set the backdrop. When Dunham did choose to use other colors—mixing in burnt-orange and saffronyellow dining chairs among the blue and green ones; designing a sectional upholstered in a pumpkin-colored chenille for the sitting room— he kept them muted rather than bright and intended for them to support the vibrant art. “A lot of the art is quite fresh,” Dunham says. “You didn’t want to put up works that felt sludgy.” To this end, he hung a vintage tapestry prominently in the dining room. Its black background and bold colors contribute an eyecatching graphic quality and a bit of drama, while the textile itself mutes noise and adds softness against the stone walls and steel-framed windows. The result: A room where dinners last for hours, thanks also to the generously scaled chairs covered in a stain-proof leather that is “semi-indestructible,” says Dunham. This isn’t the only room for gatherings. The entire house is designed for groups. There’s the cozy nook in the living area warmed by a fireplace—the perfect spot for card games—the inviting orange sectional and the many seating areas out on the deck. Which is precisely the point, Dunham muses. “I look back, and I see the picture over the lake or the chairs around the fire pit and think, ‘that’s somewhere I’d like to be.’ ”
“The entry is all about the mix of materials,” says designer Peter Dunham of this Montana vacation home. “It’s a yin and yang.” The granite table with chipped edges—a nod to the stone walls—is by Peter Dunham & Associates, as are the rest of the custom pieces in the residence. Its monumental presence balances the bespoke sofa in a lush Brunschwig & Fils mohair, a classic Noguchi paper pendant and the Robert Natkin painting.
“I’ve never done this particular look for another client in this context and environment. It’s very much tailored to their style.” –PETER DUNHAM

To keep the vibe informal and fun, Dunham incorporated occasional bursts of color, such as the custom sectional covered in a vivid AST Fabrics performance chenille in the sitting room.

t’s hard to explain what I do,” says Portland-area artist Felicia Murray. “Fiber art means so many different things, and what I do is experimental, using several techniques in one piece.” Murray’s works, which she makes with yarn, wool, felt, fabric, embroidery thread and even beads, employ a variety of methods, including needle felting and tufting, that produce different textures. “By putting them together, I create imagined landscapes,” she explains. But beyond their intriguing surfaces, her one-off wonderlands also tell intricate tales. The latest chapter of Murray’s own story involves a move to the Pacific Northwest after she and her husband graduated from The Savannah College of Art and Design. Although Murray had never visited Portland until just before relocating, she knew it would be a good fit. “I’m a maker, and there’s a great community of artists here,” she says. “The closeness to nature has also brought me back to growing up in Maine. The coast, beaches, mountains and the fast pace of downtown with its cool artists and small businesses, too—inspiration is everywhere.” Even the city’s recent political demonstrations have motivated her. “It’s made me want to speak about topics in my own art,” she says, particularly her commitment to highlighting at-risk environments like coral reefs. Those she renders not only as vivid, fantastical seascape “tapestries,” but as all-white iterations that tell the plight of coral bleaching, a nearly irreversible loss of color that occurs when ocean temperatures rise. At her home studio in Beaverton, where she fastidiously color-coordinates her materials, Murray, alongside two “studio mates” (her cats), often listens to music and podcasts while she creates. “It’s meditative,” she says of her art. “With fiber, I’m often repeating the same process over and over, so there’s a rhythm that can go on for hours. When I need to change it up, I go sit in the sun on the patio.” That sunshine also inspired a brighter palette. “After a long, dark winter, I wanted more color in my work,” she says, referring to her recent Rainbow Collection, an inaugural series of framed tonal pieces. She’s also experimenting with natural dyes, an exploration that began during her artist residency at Kunstkollektivet 8B in Denmark last year. She even imagines herself making her own dyes and concocting unique colors. “I’m just finding my path,” she says, “but I’m already developing ideas for new collections.”

Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, she has immersed herself in the region’s thriving culture and stunning landscapes, finding new inspiration for her work along the way.

THE HEART OF THE MATTER A modern aerie in the Willamette Valley makes the most of its dramatic site and captures the spirit of those who reside within. W R I T T E N BY C H R I S T I N E D E O R I O P H O T O G R A P H Y BY E R I C S TA U D E N M A I E R

MW Design Workshop created a stainless steel-clad pivot door for the entry of this home by architect Christopher Kempel in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Designer Alana Homesley furnished the space with a vintage Khotan rug from Galerie Shabab in New York and a custom walnut bench upholstered in Jerry Pair Leather hide.
C
inematic” might be the best way to describe one of architect Christopher Kempel’s earliest glimpses of the forested 30-acre site overlooking the Willamette Valley where his bi-coastal clients planned to build a new house. “I’ll never forget this because it was snowing,” he recalls of a visit to the existing home. “There was a long ribbon window, and the scene it framed—the contrast of the snow against the Douglas-fir trunks—was gorgeous. If there was a classic way to describe a forest view, this was it.” Seduced by the locale, Kempel directed his energies toward creating a dwelling that would maximize its twin vistas—of the forest in one direction and the river flowing through the valley in the other. Capturing the latter was a must for the family, who were arriving in Oregon by way of Florida. “One thing I have found after always being near water is that it’s an escape for me,” the wife, a California native, says. “I need that sense of relief, and I felt that having this vast mileage to look at would provide it.” The architect decided on an L-shaped plan that allowed for both. “The design was rooted in the challenge that we were moving this family from Florida to the Pacific Northwest,” notes Kempel. His solution riffs on classic midcentury modern California homes, “whose DNA is based on inviting the outdoors in,” he adds. Each of the home’s wings—one holds everyday living spaces; the other guest accommodations, a gym and an office—allow light to penetrate through floor-to-ceiling windows. Joining the wings is a two-and-a-half-story glass tower that contains the home’s main staircase, a monumental wood-andsteel sculptural form that wraps around a central bookcase stack. But it couldn’t just be a house of glass. “We wanted the structure to feel grounded, so the entire basement level is cast-in-place architectural concrete,” Kempel says. Raw steel was used for the exposed posts supporting the entrance canopy and glass-walled dining room and the living room’s bookcases and rhythmic colonnade. Washougal stone covers the fireplaces and cedar warms the walls—“because it was important for the house to feel natural in the woods and for the materials to be locally sourced,” says the architect. To emphasize a cocoon-like quality, Kempel created inviting nooks, from window seats in the
living room and office to perches on the staircase’s landings. “These aren’t just an architectural design,” notes designer Alana Homesley. “They’re placed according to how the homeowners really live.” The wife confirms this: “I often find my girls on the daybed when they want to be connected to the rest of the family but still have a quiet place to read.” Homesley provided similar opportunities for connection in the living room, where distinct seating areas allow the family to keep close while reading, piano-playing and puzzling. The furnishings— a mix of industrial-farmhouse, midcentury and soft-modern pieces—reflect the straightforward lines and unadulterated natural materials found throughout. There’s distressed leather on the coffee table, cotton velvet on a sofa and an elm-branch base on an ebonized-wood credenza, “which has such a beautiful open grain, you can see the texture,” says the designer. Metal and stone side tables incorporate additional tactile sensations, and touches of shearling “keep it light,” she says, “in case it’s raining outside.” The home’s palette is a neutral one with crisp white walls and natural woods for the flooring and cabinetry, many of which were chosen by designer Martha Williams of Design Line Studio. To that soothing backdrop, Homesley added shades inspired by the surroundings on sunny days to act as leaveners. In the primary bedroom, a peacockgreen upholstered headboard pops against light walls, and in the study, a pair of Hans Wegner’s Papa Bear chairs are upholstered in “the color of the sky through the clerestory when the clouds break,” Homesley says. Such dedication to the details is evident outdoors as well. The windows that general contractor Mike Cowan and his team installed perfectly align with the cedar siding’s horizontal grooves, while the Japanese maples that landscape architect Brian Bainnson established are intended as living sculptures, with their forms and seasonal changes a way to play off the geometry of the house. “The rigor of this house is relentless,” Kempel admits. “But in our pursuit of perfection, there was an unexpected moment: When the forms were stripped off the cast-concrete walls, a scar was revealed. We fretted over it, but because so much of the house is perfected and machined, it ended up being a source of character. It’s a reminder that the beauty of a natural material is that it has its own life and limits”—a noble value to ponder in a home that embodies many.

History in the Making After a thoughtful remodel, a venerable Capitol Hill home adds a new chapter to its story. W R I T T E N BY M A R Y J O B O W L I N G | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY A A R O N L E I T Z

F
or more than a century, fascinating tales have swirled around this elegant Capitol Hill dwelling—its long existence full of change and mystery. Built around 1910 in a Mediterranean Revival style, a dozen years later it became home to a prominent businessperson who undertook a substantial remodel. Subsequently, it served as a boarding house; later, the site of a designer show house. A persistent rumor also claims there’s a hidden cask of aged rum harbored somewhere inside. The current residents say that you can’t really possess a house like this. “It’s part of the history of Seattle,” the husband says. “We’re privileged to live in it today, and we hope it’s a part of our neighborhood and Seattle for many generations to come.” In that spirit, while they hoped to make the home work for their young family, they also wanted to approach the project with sensitivity. As the husband puts it, “We could immediately see the magic, but there were some challenges we wanted to solve.” They assembled a special team of design pros, with an emphasis on team. “We needed people who would communicate and collaborate,” says the wife. “When you have that, good things happen.” They selected designer Kelly Hohla and architect Aaron Mollick, who worked closely with his associates, architects Lisa Sidlauskas and Brittney Wilson. General contractor Rob Hoxie and landscape architect Randy Allworth rounded out the group. The home’s new chapter began by reimagining it for the way people live today. “When the house was built, it was segmented with spaces for servants and spaces for residents,” Mollick says. The architects erased that separation, removing a servants’ stairway for better circulation, opening up a warren of rooms to create a large kitchen connected to the garden. They also “strengthened” the entryway (which was once the service entrance, but, over the years, had morphed into the front door) by recasting the old porte-cochère as a front porch. Modern notes were added to the classic architecture, with an intimate living area on the
second level providing a prime example. Before the remodel, it was a sitting room that joined two bedrooms. The architects reconceived the space as a family room with a twist: An interior wall of floor-to-ceiling glass set in a metal frame. The feature allows borrowed light from a row of arched exterior windows to illuminate the landing of the grand staircase and stands in contrast to the ornate flourishes of the brass stair rail. “We kept going back to what we hoped to achieve—creating a family house while preserving the specialness of each space,” says Mollick. “These clients have a modern sensibility and style.” Hohla, working with senior designer Alana Dorn, channeled that style into the framework of the distinctive rooms. “A lot of our work was tying the spaces together,” she says. That meant creating a long island in the kitchen that connects it to the dining room, preserving the original hardware and selecting new pieces to coordinate, brightening plaster block walls with a lighter limestone treatment and painstakingly refinishing the original floors with a warm walnut tone that has a touch of gray. An ebullient mix of modern furniture and fixtures, energetic colors and patterns provides the youthful spirit Hohla and the owners wanted to create. “The house was very formal,” Hohla says. “Now, while still being grand, it invites you in.” The general contractor admits that he and his team “completely geeked out” over this project, going so far as to pen a narrative about the home’s history. “Projects like this are exciting because you know there will be a lot of surprises,” Hoxie says. “We spent time getting steeped in what was there.” However, that legendary cache of rum (which became a running joke between the owners and builders) was never discovered—at least, not the rum of rumor. “Superintendent Marty Klempner created a treasure hunt for the clients,” says Hoxie. “It ended with the discovery of a hidden compartment that opens when a secret button is pushed. In it, they found a bottle of rum.” And thus, the clients toasted their iconic home. As the wife says, “We feel lucky that the home came to us and lucky that we got to collaborate with good people. Not only did they deeply care about the project, we had a lot of fun along the way.”
