Earth Unbound

At River’s Edge

A modern, glass-walled home with a Scandinavian sensibility rises on a wooded, waterfront site near the Canadian border.

The owner envisioned this Sun Valley retreat clad in barnwood, but the design team took things in a more dramatic direction.

Portland ceramicist Sally Squire says she makes her works “dance” with buoyant, organic shapes and uncommon forms.

A new, contemporary abode in Bend that sits on a scenic riverfront is inspired by classic, century-old cottages.

This issue of Luxe is essentially a love letter to the people who make design happen. In addition to our annual GOLD LIST, which recognizes talents from across the country who have had their projects featured in our pages the past year, we celebrate creative originators and innovators: a community and collective of people who are grounded in their craft and dedicated to pushing design forward.

We thank all of you for imagining and enriching the homes we live in.

As the rhythms of daily life begin to return, and the pandemic recedes into the rear view, I am hopeful that the meaningfulness of home, and the people who reimagine the spaces of our everyday life, will remain in our hearts and minds.

Luxe celebrates people in design, including interior designers Rayman Boozer (above), Martyn Lawrence Bullard (middle) and Young Huh (right).

Healthy Planet. Healthy People.

Healthy Lifestyles.

2022 IS THE YEAR OF THE HEALTHY KITCHEN. In many ways, true wellness begins in the kitchen. It is where we give our body the nutrition it needs, where we spend time bonding with loved ones over culinary projects, where we learn recipes and engage our most creative selves in the process. And at the heart of this high-performance heart of the home is its appliance suite. That’s where Beko comes in.

A global appliance manufacturer with a product presence in 400 million homes in 140 countries, Beko is driven by a three-fold commitment to helping people be well through the production of appliances that promote health. The brand also believes that healthy people are only possible on a healthy planet, so it employs a zero-carbon manufacturing process. Its products are full of eco-friendly innovations and continually achieve ENERGY STAR certifications.

Beko’s EverFresh+ system with Active Fresh Blue Light prevents food waste, keeping fruits and vegetables crisp for up to 30 days and locking in nutrients.

In 2022, Beko is taking it all a step further. It introduces the Healthy Kitchen Council, which comprises leading kitchen and home designers, nutritionists, dietitians and other health and wellness experts who will help the brand shape the concept of the ultimate healthy kitchen. As part of the initiative, Beko will present 22 new cooking, cooling and cleaning products equipped with proprietary technologies and features to empower Americans to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.

Doling Out Wellness

In partnership with Dole Food Company, one of the largest fresh fruit and vegetable providers in the world, Beko is working to bring healthier food to more tables. Together, the two companies will support hunger-relief and child nutrition charities that are striving to end hunger and encourage healthier living across the United States.

HANDMADE CEREMONY STUDIO

For upstart Seattle ceramics studio Ceremony, objects used in daily rituals like eating and drinking make the leap from mundane to magical. Helmed by artisans Stephanie Hsie, Karen Chung and Corey Gutch (left), the studio is making a splash with simple yet spirited pieces that are big on personality. Here, the talented trio tells us more. inceremony.com

How did Ceremony start?

Stephanie Hsie: We all met at a community ceramics class. It was intimidating to try and sell ceramics myself, but with the three of us working together, it felt possible— and the community was so supportive.

Tell us about your studio’s name.

Karen Chung: Whether it’s preparing a meal or drinking a hot cup of tea in the morning, the small moments may feel menial but can be an opportunity to find more presence. We want to imbue those moments with special objects to make them feel ceremonial.

What’s your shared creative vision?

KC: Stephanie and I are diasporic Asian people, and it’s hard to find vessels for the cuisines we prepare. Often, we are chasing the forms that will fit our way of eating.

Corey Gulch: There’s so much love and care that goes into our work. It’s about uncovering history and personal memories of food and celebrating them.

IN GOOD TASTE On the shores of Seattle’s Portage Bay, a former boating machine shop has been given a surprising second life as a destination bakery. Doubling as a welcoming community space with generous outdoor seating, Saint Bread Bakery is the first in a series of planned redevelopments for the site, which for nearly a century was one of the region’s premier wooden shipyards. The rustic design by Seattle firm Graham Baba celebrates the building’s industrial history and deep roots in craft. “We didn’t want to force the building into something overly refined,” says architect Melissa Glenn. “We tried to take a boat-builder’s approach to the design: simple, hand-crafted and wood-focused.” Helmed by Yasuaki Saito, Saint Bread’s menu of pastries, toasts and sandwiches is reminiscent of Saito’s other local eatery, the London Plane. A stained-glass window overlooking the counter is a twist on the Danish phrase sandt brod, or “true bread,” which inspired the bakery’s heavenly moniker. saintbread.com

SUN VALLEY MUSEUM OF ART

SCENE

DESIGN

Sun Valley Museum of Art (SVMoA) recently celebrated a major milestone with its 50th anniversary. As Idaho’s largest arts organization looks ahead to 50 more years of community-focused exhibitions, lectures, classes and performances, 2022 promises to be a banner year. SVMoA’s Artistic Director Kristin Poole explains. svmoa.org Tell us about the museum’s anniversary theme.

We settled on “Creativity, Community, and Connection” because it’s what we have done and what we aspire to do. Our through lines for the past 50 years have been twofold: using art to educate, and inviting extraordinary artists to our community. We do this to nourish connection—to one another, and to a shared love of place.

What’s coming up in 2022? We have a slew of art-making workshops planned, from master photography classes to drop-in life drawing and teen workshops. We’re also launching a multi-year Día de los Muertos program to celebrate the cultural traditions of Mexico, we’re expanding our tradition of commissioning new artistic works and we’re launching new projects exploring local ecology.

CHECK IN

THE LODGE AT ST. EDWARD STATE PARK Originally built as a seminary in 1931, the landmarked brick building anchoring The Lodge at St. Edward State Park sat vacant for 44 years before coming back to life as one of Washington’s newest luxury hotel and spas. “It’s always been this mystery,” says Jenne Oxford, The Lodge’s general manager. “Now, the community can experience the history of this place firsthand.” The Kenmore-based hotel weaves together past and present, with painstakingly restored original details and spaces that conjure the building’s yesteryears, including a seminary barber shopturned-speakeasy bar, original brick façades and windows, and period architectural sketches translated to wall-size murals. Besides the four floors of guest rooms, a luxury spa, and eateries including a restaurant helmed by James Beard award-winning chef Jason Wilson, the hotel offers a slew of publicly accessible amenities. Don’t miss visiting a gallery hallway with rotating Northwest artists, high tea service and live music events. thelodgeatstedward.com

What do you love about SVMoA? For the last 50 years we have invited extraordinary artists to this tiny mountain town to expand their practice and share their perspective. SVMoA has grown alongside the community, each fertilizing the other, and today we build forward from a solid foundation of folks who are open, curious and understand the power of art.

IN SOUTHEASTERN WASHINGTON, WINE CAPITAL WALLA WALLA ALSO BOASTS A BUZZING ARTS AND CULTURE SCENE.

SCENE

DESIGN

ALTON WINES The newest kid on the winemaking block, Alton Wines released its first bottles last year and now has a design-forward tasting room to boot. Designed by Seattle-based goCstudio, the breezy new structure focuses attention on the vineyard’s main ingredient: the landscape. “The architecture acts as a frame, bringing the landscape closer into focus,” explain designers Jon Gentry and Aimée O’Carroll. “There are expansive views across the open fields with the Blue Mountains as a backdrop.” Steel, concrete and cedar are softened with a billowing shade canopy covering the south patio, which reaches out to engage the rolling hills beyond. altonwines.com

WALLA WALLA GENERAL STORE The latest edition to the city’s quaint downtown, Walla Walla General Store offers a spirited assortment of wares for home and life. Founded by friends Jean Bender and Peggy Frasse, the idea for the store came in 2020 when the pair had each reached turning points in their individual careers.

“Jean is a natural researcher and I’m a connector of people, so Walla Walla General Store was born,” Frasse recalls, adding that regular in-store community events are a way they give back. “We delight in delight.” wallawallageneralstore.com

WALLA WALLA FOUNDRY & VINEYARDS Perhaps the Northwest’s best kept art secret, Walla Walla Foundry is a collection of art fabrication studios scattered across 16 sprawling acres. The Foundry is one of the nation’s leading fabricators of large-scale contemporary art, working with greats like Jeff Koons, Kehinde Wiley, Kiki Smith, Yayoi Kusama and more. While the Foundry itself is not open to the public, its sister business, Foundry Vineyard, regularly showcases art by Foundry artists in its gallery-focused tasting room.

“It’s exciting to cross over between the hyper-local with the vineyard, and the global with the gallery and foundry,” says Foundry co-owner Lisa Anderson. foundryvineyards.com

THREE DESIGNERS REFLECT ON AN INDELIBLE SPARK.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard

AS TOLD TO MICHELLE BRUNNER

When I was 12 years old, I began my career selling antiques from a stall in London’s Greenwich Market. It was the 1980s then, and Art Deco was the height of fashion. It was one of the first design periods that I studied, and from that, my passion grew.

Because I came from a theatrical background—originally, I wanted to be an actor—it’s only natural that I would be drawn to a style so closely associated with Hollywood glamour. With the advent of cinema, Los Angeles boomed during the 1920s and 1930s, and extraordinary spaces, like the Cicada Club in downtown L.A. and the historic Sunset Tower hotel, were built.

For me, the appeal of Art Deco lies in its association with decadence. The world had just come out of World War I, and there was reason to celebrate. People wanted drama and floridity. We left behind the Edwardian and Arts-and-Crafts periods, and turned almost instantly to this brand-new era symbolized by ornate geometric forms.

Of all the Art Deco styles, I’m particularly fond of Egyptian Revival. It conjures the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, and with that, an air of adventure, travel and romance. In my work and in my own home, many Orientalist and Moroccan motifs blend with the geometric vibe and monochromatic palette of Art Deco.

Recently, I drew inspiration from the period to inform a collection of inlaid stone and lacquer accessories for SV Casa. We did a series of beautiful cases that open into bars, inspired by Hermès and Louis Vuitton steamer trunks from the 1930s. They recall one of the first Art Deco pieces I ever bought: a 1920s alligator case, which makes me long for the time when travel was new.

In those days, people used silver- and-gold jars in sleek cases for toiletries. We used to travel in such style! I’ve kept it with me throughout my journeys. It’s a great nod to my past, both in my dealing in objects of that era and my love of Art Deco itself.

Folk Tales

TOLD

Young Huh

A S T O L D T O G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

RADAR

AS

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to Michigan when I was three. Most of my ideas about my home country came from my parents, who were passionate about collecting and preserving Korean art.

One of my favorite early memories was flying to New York City with my mother.

She was shopping for a scholar screen— an artwork meant to decorate the study of a Yangban (a scholar of the highest class). They depict items a Yangban might exhibit to show his refinement: books, a peony, ink brushes. My mother was also searching for folk art—colorful, informal paintings, often with suggestive subject matter. I learned then that there were two schools of Korean art: the school based on courtly formalities, and the folk art hung in the homes of merchants or shamans.

Adolescent me became fascinated with folk art. Rabbits smoking pipes!

Mountains in every color under the sun!

The rainbow hanbok of young girls! To me, these visions were the heartbeat of traditional Korean art—and today, they inspire every inch of my design aesthetic.

Some people think decorating is about picking pretty fabrics, but it is rooted in soils far deeper than that. As I design this home, I think of all the people who have lived here over the last two centuries, my family tree that dates back 700 years, and my children who will carry the future— and who, I hope, will tell everyone’s story.

Last year, I purchased a home in New York’s Hudson Valley: a classic Colonial in the most idyllic countryside setting. As I dreamt of how to decorate, my thoughts turned to my heritage. One project I’m working on is designing a wallpaper with Fromental, inspired by the papers out of East Asia, which were traded in the New World in the 17th century. I’ll be incorporating both the structure of courtly paintings and the brightness of folk art, all presented in a modern way.

Fashioning a Narrative

TOLD

Rayman Boozer

AS TOLD TO STEPHANIE HUNT

RADAR

AS

Ever since I was a child on a farm in Indiana, fashion has been my obsession.

I was the middle child of nine—the Jan Brady of our family, and sort of invisible.

After seeing The Mary Tyler Moore Show, my dream became to live in a city in an apartment. At age 8, I made a pact that I would one day move to New York and do glamorous things with my life.

We didn’t have a ton of money, but my mother had amazing style. She made a lot of our clothes—think: red-white-and-blue bell bottoms with matching shirts. Even at age 5, I was picky about what colors I wanted to wear, and I hated being dressed like my brothers—I wanted control!

Growing up, I fell in love with magazines.

I’d go down to the local newsstand and pour over Vogue and GQ. One day, a handful of subscription cards fell out, and I noticed the “bill me later” part. I asked the shopkeeper if I could have them, filled them out, and for three months, I built a library. In high school, my parents let me get subscriptions—but I held onto those issues and read them over and over.

A lot of people see fashion as trivial, but I believe that it’s a nonverbal way of communicating with like-minded people.

Especially in Manhattan, you’re always presenting yourself to the public in some way. For me, fashion is armor. It’s a silent means of declaring who you are.

Rayman Boozer stands at the threshold of his Manhattan closet wearing a Prada sweater and slacks (his favorite fashion house) and Tods loafers.

When I went to college, I declared a fashion design major before finding interiors. What I am is a strong fashion editor—I’m good at pairing things together in interesting ways: colors, textures, attitudes—and a mix of high-low. My velvet Gucci blazer with a Uniqlo sweater; a leather Prada trench coat with my favorite Scotch and Soda jeans. Fashion also feeds my approach to color—you see daring combinations on the runway before the home. This, in part, is what keeps my interiors optimistic and open-minded.

Provence

Happy place: About 7 years ago, I rented a 300-year-old house outside of Avignon with my family—and it was kind of an epiphany. We’d spend mornings by the pool, then drive through the Rhône and visit towns, like Roussillon, which has this incredible sandstone, terra-cotta and ochre palette.

Only fitting: Provence has a similar climate to Los Angeles, and the building materials—stucco, painted wood windows and shutters, tiled roofs—are essentially the same as Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, a primary vernacular of Southern California. Dream delivered: From the minute you walk in the front gate, you’re in this other world of pea gravel, olive trees and lavender. You enter the house through a pair of French doors, and it’s all very open and transparent. To me, it’s transportive emotionally. The clients, the design team and I were all so taken with the authenticity of the Provençal lifestyle; we tried to capture it’s relaxed, casual elegance in this home. willigerarchitect.com

Rockefeller Center

RADAR

Designer Bill Musso found inspiration for his Atlanta condo in a beloved landmark’s Art Deco mystique.

main photo: getty. inset: lauren rubinstein.

Early influence: My grandmother was enamored with Radio City Music Hall.

Whenever she had the opportunity, she would take me to see a live show or a movie. We’d spend time walking around Rockefeller Center, and she would point out all of the friezes and statues. Aha moment: Four years ago, I did the 30 Rock tour. I wasn’t so interested in the TV aspect, but in wandering the halls and common spaces and taking pictures! Ode to Deco: The marble floor in my entry was inspired by an elevator waiting area at 30 Rock; I worked with The Rug Company on a runner that’s literally an adaptation of the carpeting in Radio City Music Hall; and my interior doors have the same Art Deco-influenced, raised panel design. Balancing act: Inspiration is all about knowing when to peel back. Like Coco Chanel famously advised: stand in front of the mirror and remove one item. I’d never want to feel like I’m living in a time capsule (as much as I love wearing a smoking jacket). mussodesigngroup.com

A Vintage Photograph

Unexpected idea: This photo of Sonny Bono and former Mayor Frank Bogert was the first inspiration image we showed our client. We overlaid it with a pink filter to tease out the magical light that happens at sunset in Palm Springs. There’s a rugged romance—a laid-back, masculine mood to it—that sung to us. Desert journey: There’s no front yard or backyard, per se. You enter through a portal in the Ficus, then move through these different sequences that are always changing: a fire pit surrounded by muhly grass, a palo Verde grove, an olive tree dining orchard. It speaks to this notion of traveling on horseback through an ephemeral landscape.

Message received: For this project, we “borrowed” palm trees from the neighbors’ yards—and the San Jacinto mountains peaking above the hedges. At sunset, with the pink grasses in full bloom, the image of the cowboys and the palms—that feeling of a total Palm Springs escape—is really what you’re getting. sdisf.com

The English Country House

Mood board: From the first time I saw the property, the story in my mind was that it was a kooky British grandmother’s house that had been passed down to the next generation. It’s a large, new construction home, but the way the rooms were laid out—the intimacy of scale and the classical millwork— suggested history. Hero piece: I’ve always been drawn to tapestries, and here, they provided a strong “old manor house” through line. We hung a large 18thcentury Flemish tapestry in the living room and wallpapered the dining room in a Scalamandré print for a European country house vibe. Homework: I pinned about a billion pictures. Upton House, a Georgian manor in Gloucestershire that we referenced, has this hall with the most perfect minty green, which inspired the shades of celadon throughout. I love historical colors; tertiary tones are so much more interesting. studiohus.com

Sophia Loren

High-octane starlet glamour inspired Samantha Todhunter’s interpretation of an Aspen ski retreat.

main photo: oliver clarke. inset: getty.

Modern muse: Our projects often begin with a sensibility imbued by a person, and in this case, Sophia Loren was one of our initial drivers for the mood and design intent; she’s the very embodiment of la dolce vita.

Dramatic details: My clients wanted to transform a pastiche Colorado lodge into a home that was cool, effortless and glamorous; a space that lights up at night for entertaining, but also provides a languishing daytime salon.

A core element to our work is always ‘the mix’ and for this dolce vita-driven project, the mix manifests in interesting combinations of textures and weaves.

Think: mohair velvets and metallic glazed linens, marble and lacquer, and patinated brass elements. Secret sauce: It can be easy to go over the top, especially when you are going for high-impact design. The art is to know when you have done enough to tell the story. A successful room is all about artful layering drawn from travel, books, nature, art, history—and iconic people. samanthatodhunter.com

For a new home in Point Reyes Station, California, architect Dave Sturm channeled a design icon’s purist approach.

Origin story: Our client grew up visiting Mexico and had loved Barragán since childhood. Field work: I was a budding architect when Barragán won the Pritzker Prize, and had been wanting to visit his home for decades. This project prompted my wife and I to spend two weeks in Mexico City. We visited several museums a day, and many Barragán buildings. I immersed myself in his spatial relationships. Good stuff: Barragán had this really limited, yet influential palette; a very high-modern aesthetic. His pink is almost like the national color. Key details: Nothing extraneous; we brought the walls all the way down to the floor—no trim, baseboards or moldings. And we used steel casement-style windows for the cleanest sight lines. Take it back: It’s a reference, not an homage. We were inspired by his simplicity. If Barragán had signed on, I imagine the walls might be pink. butlerarmsden.com

WITH HER LATEST COLLECTION, DESIGNER LORI WEITZNER DELIVERS AN ODE TO CENTRAL PARK. W R I T T E N B Y H E AT H E R C A R N E Y

Imagine wandering through Central Park. Bright pink petals highlight a grid between cobblestones.

Intricate moldings and sandstone carvings come into focus on stair railings. At sunset, the city skyline turns from orange to golden to purple to gray.

It’s this romantic setting that provided designer Lori Weitzner with hope and refuge during the dark days of the pandemic—while also opening her eyes to patterns, textures and colors hidden in plain sight. “It was a lesson in the idea that you’re so familiar with something that you stop looking,” says the designer. “I began to see everything in a whole new way.”

The resulting collection is an ode to Central Park—an exploration of fabrics and wallcoverings that captures the beauty of a city in the midst of rebirth. “I love New York.

It’s what keeps my senses alive. You pass a bakery, then you pass litter on the street. It’s all there,” says Weitzner. “Central Park is an oasis to the urban grit.”

IPhone in hand, the designer would “click, click, click” on weekly rambles through her sanctuary, then return to her quiet Chelsea design studio where she printed and arranged the photos on a large white table. From there, the creative work would begin—editing, sorting, sketching and playing with colors and materials. Chariot, for example, a soft jacquard linen with subtle damask patterning, evolved from an image she snapped of traditional stonework near Bethesda Fountain. “We painted it in the studio, and then, because we didn’t want such a traditional pattern, we took a sponge

Designer Lori Weitzner turned to Central Park as muse for her latest collection of textiles and wallcoverings.

The Mesmerize print, shown here on an armchair, was inspired by a carving at Bethesda Fountain.

and broke it up with texture so it would feel eroded,” explains Weitzner. Illumination, an embroidered textile, stems from sketches of foliage in the Shakespeare Garden, while Mesmerize, a cut velvet print, takes its cues from the fountain’s stone filigree.

With the line complete and her schedule picking up, it might be surprising to hear that the designer still carves out time to walk in the park—but it’s a habit she’s not willing to give up. “The pandemic made me slow down and appreciate the details,” reflects Weitzner. “This collection is about nature, but it’s also about seeing things anew.”

By the 1930s, Eileen Gray was a solidified furniture designer and architect—a rare accomplishment for a woman by early 20th-century standards. Of her many contributions to the modern movement, the Irish-born creative designed the ubiquitous (and replicated) adjustable side table, which she designed specifically for her home dubbed E-1027, shown above, on the French Riviera. Gray set out to build the residence— her first ever—in her late 40s, and it still stands today as a survey of modern design.

A Los Angeles legend, Williams designed some 2,000 buildings in the area during his career, with A-list clients including Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball. In the 1940s, he was hired for the renovation of the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he also fashioned the famous hand-written logo and iconic pink-and-green color scheme. The hotel’s posh Polo Lounge, shown above, has been a buzzing Hollywood hot spot for decades.

The Main Event

PASSION PROJECT MATTHEW QUINN

What a beautifully layered space! This kitchen is an homage to the owner, whose zeal for art, food and life shines through in the design.

When she and her family moved from Mexico to the Atlanta area, they acquired a charming bungalow property and she promptly saved her pennies for 12 years to have her dream “Matthew Quinn” kitchen, as she explained, which was truly the ultimate compliment.

Wow. What did she request? Thinking outside of the box was important to the client. She wanted to make the kitchen uniquely her own, which included covering the walls with art, creating plenty of storage for cookbooks and even adding cork flooring that provides comfort when standing and cooking. But it’s really about this funky mix of colors and materials that works so well together.

Talk to us about the details. The Amazonia Quartzite screamed “bar area.” The boldly colored veining of the stone is paired with an equally striking blue paint on the cabinetry that creates a vibrant, fun moment. In the kitchen, white-glass countertops and high-gloss Macassar Ebony veneer cabinetry balance out the La Cornue range and brass finishes.

Makassar Ebony Veneer Cabinetry, downsviewkitchens.com.

Amazonite Stone, abcworldwidestone.com.

STRATEGIC APPROACH “I fell in love with kitchens because of their technicality—I like to focus on the architectural plan first; I’m a big stickler for rectangular and square rooms.

From there, we address access points, center lines, location of appliances, storage, circulation, ergonomics and functionality. After nearly 30 years in the business, I can immediately pinpoint what needs to be tweaked, but if the kitchen works well, I know I can make it beautiful.” matthew-quinn.com

BATH + KITCHEN

CALMING INFLUENCE CHRISTOPHER PEACOCK What was the inspiration for this serene palette? A big, beautiful picture window decorates the kitchen, and we didn’t want the rest of the space to compete with that focal point, so there was a conscious effort to keep the colors more earthy and muted. We went with a two-tone paint effect for the cabinetry: a lovely olive or sage green on the island and then a warmer gray on the perimeter.

Walk us through the rest of the design. The scheme was about making it simple and quiet while keeping it spacious. There wasn’t a strong desire to fill the walls with unnecessary cabinetry; rather our focus was on the

materials and finishes. A handmade subway tile with varying shades makes for a beautiful backsplash that provides subtle movement; we avoided anything too shiny and went with brushed and satin nickel hardware.

How did you approach scale? This is a very large kitchen with a barreled ceiling. So we grounded the environment with a large island featuring cutting blocks at both ends and a custom pewter-and-nickel metal hood that anchors one wall. The island table developed into a multifunctional element with storage and seating, as well as a place to work, prepare food and entertain.

TOP TAKEAWAY “The key is to be a good listener, have an inquisitive mind and a holistic or all-encompassing approach. If you watch what happens in most people’s kitchens today, it’s not kitchen related. It’s a gathering space, an entertaining space, a quiet space. Sometimes it’s a retreat or a place to relax—it’s all these things. We have to understand how the kitchen is being used because this room has matured into the most important space in the home. It’s critical to get the design right. Trust the people you’re working with—a kitchen renovation is an everlasting project.” peacockhome.com La Jolla Scone, paulferrante.com.

HERITAGE MOMENT SARAH BLANK

This kitchen is in an older home, right?

It’s an absolutely stunning Spanish Renaissance residence that was built in the early 1900s along the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the kitchen was in bad shape after a recent update, but I was lucky that the client wanted to go back to its historic character. I am a big believer in taking from the past to create the future and spent a lot of time understanding the original aesthetic of this property.

How does your background inform your designs? I love classical architecture and historic structures—I’ve been a part of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for a long time.

Everything I do now, even after all this time, goes back to the aesthetic of old homes and what they teach us.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Sarah Blank Design Studio chose Farrow & Ball’s Stone Blue for the island in this Irvington, New York, kitchen by Taconic Builders. A BlueStar range, Miele oven and custom hood complete the scheme.

EXPERT TIP “Here’s a trick for anyone embarking on a new kitchen project: Do not clean up when the designer comes over to see how you live. If you tidy up before I arrive, how am I going to know what the problems are? I spend a lot of time talking to clients and asking what they want, but what tells me even more is opening all the cabinets and drawers and looking at their inventory and how everything is stored. Once I know what’s behind closed doors, I can design your kitchen! My new book, Classic Kitchens for Modern Living, is certainly a culmination of everything I have learned over the past 40 years!” sarahblankdesignstudio.com

photo: neil landino. book cover: images publishing, march 2022.

Where did you start? Before I did anything, there were several architectural changes that needed to be made, including taking down a wall, reworking a window and altering the ceiling. Then, I began the mission of taking a very narrow kitchen and making it functional. A lot of the elements, such as the metalwork and wood detailing, are inspired by 19th-century European kitchens.

“ A hand-painted, high-gloss cabinetry color was customized around the wallcovering in this Short Hills, New Jersey, project.

We always ask and try to push our clients to do something a little more unexpected in smaller spaces. The outcome was beautiful.”

“The client had an impressive collection of vintage glassware and entertained a lot, so from the very beginning of our conversation we knew the bar would be an important component. The homeowner was drawn to the vibrant color and stone elements.

The resulting happy mix is truly a reflection of her.”

–MATTHEW QUINN

“ T his Stamford, Connecticut, jewel of a room is both a wet bar and wine room, as well as a butler’s pantry. The homeowner fell in love with the tiger maple wood, while the high-gloss ceiling and its reflective quality make the room feel deceptively large.”

Bright Young Things

JEAN LIN, COLONY In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, then-design journalist Jean Lin sparked an idea: invite local New York City artists to craft works from debris for storm relief. In the process, Lin grew familiar with the growth and representation struggles faced by independent makers—and the idea for a new, community-driven gallery model was born. Where the industry-standard commission hovers around 50 percent, Colony takes a smaller fraction of each sale, and charges a stabilized monthly co-op fee. Their contract also includes a non-exclusivity clause, which “shows our true intention of putting the bottom line of the designers we rep before our own,” says Lin. Expanding its influence and capital, Colony has since launched an in-house consultancy offering marketing, art direction and interior design services. “The vision moving forward is that these branches of business scale in tandem,” says Lin. “Which goes back to Colony’s founding spirit and genuine belief that all ships rise with the tide.” goodcolony.com

THE CURATOR

THE INNOVATOR

“I don’t love the word ‘disruption,’ but I am passionate about asking the question, ‘how can we make people’s lives easier?’

And I think the answer to that lies in meeting them where they are,” shares Anderson Somerselle. For Somerselle, a veteran of the textiles industry, this passion manifested in a digital-first showroom designed to aggregate boutique lines—as well as their up-to-date stock numbers and samples—in one destination. “It’s an honest response to witnessing how many designers and clients start their inspiration process online,” he notes. With the lower overhead associated with a digital footprint, Somerselle also provides a more affordable representation avenue for smaller brands. “It made sense to bring together these amazing artisans in a virtual showroom first, because there’s more reach,” he explains. “Eventually, we’ll open a physical space, but that will be a totally different experience. I want people to say, ‘Wow! I want to live here.’ ” somerselle.com

THE RECONCEIVERS NOAM DVIR AND DANIEL RAUCHWERGER, BOND

In a past life, Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger worked as critics at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz before falling in love, heading west to earn their masters at Harvard and founding BoND, a holistic architecture and design firm focused on expanding traditional ideologies of home. “In the residential environment, there’s this mold of how a space should be organized—but design for non-nuclear families looks different,” explains Dvir, pointing to the themes of gathering and desire that often distinguish their work. “Design should explore many different identities and lifestyles, and we really wear that on our sleeves.” With a fast-expanding residential practice, the couple has their sights set on more cultural projects in the commercial space. (They recently designed Company Gallery, a leading queer art institution, and are fast at work on a trans-led after-hours nightclub.) “It’s very important to us to work on projects that people will have access to, and that feed us spiritually,” says Rauchwerger, adding, “the real fun comes in sharing.” bureaund.com

ZOE FELDMAN, ZOE FELDMAN DESIGN

“I truly don’t know a lot about sustainability—and that’s kind of the point!” demurs Zoe Feldman. For the Washington, D.C.-based designer, the birth of her daughter in 2018 collided with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s devastating special report on global warming, spurring her to evaluate her own role in the climate crisis. After researching avenues of impact—and

THE ACTIVIST

upon discovering that planting a tree only costs 5 cents— she designed a green pledge as a core pillar of her business. Aptly named Our Beautiful Planet, the framework includes donating her consultation fee to an environmental charity (then matching it upon contract signing), planting 100 trees for every approved design proposal (offsetting its carbon footprint), and a commitment to sourcing 80 percent vintage. Feldman hopes to turn this working template into a movement that designers can adapt to suit their practice. “These are easy things to implement,” she says. “We’re trying to show the industry that we can all take very small, simple steps and potentially, make a massive impact.” zoefeldmandesign.com

THE STORYTELLERS HOMAN RAJAI AND ELENA DENDIBERIA, STUDIO AHEAD

For Homan Rajai and Elena Dendiberia, design is both a global and local affair. What it is not is siloed around Eurocentrism. Meeting as young designers, the pair, with their respective Iranian and Russian roots, felt similarly disconnected from the world of European antiques they were living in, so they built a new framework. Questions like, What philosophies do you relate to? distinguish their client questionnaire, and Rajai and Dendiberia champion a diverse network of vendors working in traditional crafts. “There’s this assumption that—say, Persian rugs—are in the past tense. We’re educating our clients that there are living, breathing, modern-day craftspeople making these pieces,” says Rajai. At the other end of the spectrum, the firm is devoted to amplifying design at a hyper-local scale—and boasts a fast-expanding production wing of collaborations between Northern California artists. “Think of Alice Waters and what she did with farm-to-table,” says Rajai. “We’re bringing the same idea to design.” studioahead.com

THE BOTANIST JESSICA VIOLA, VIOLA GARDENS

A promise to “seek biological over technical solutions” nests at the core of Jessica Viola’s approach to the garden.

Certified in ecological and permaculture design, Viola (one of a handful of licensed female landscape contractors in California) cut her teeth rehabilitating lawns into gardens in the California drought. Those regenerative principles have propelled her business since. Whether sculpting brims in the landscape to better harness rainfall, or planting for erosion control and fire resistance, Viola’s bottom line is embracing the intrinsic characteristics of each property, fostering the age-old relationships between people, flora and fauna amidst a changing climate. In this way, tackling the crisis becomes a creative exercise: “When you’re coming at things from a place of fear, you block what’s possible,” says Viola. “Instead of trying to solve all the world’s problems, I’m facilitating conditions for more awareness—and going one garden at a time.” violagardens.com

“DME Construction will never lose focus of the people and relationships that matter the most.”

rowth is more than a goal for DME Construction—it’s a constant state of being.

Since the first-generation firm broke ground 20 years ago, it has completed hundreds of projects and, over the past decade, has focused primarily on custom homes. Creating one-of-a-kind homes requires the team at DME Construction to have a seamless line of communication with each client.

“By realizing the client’s needs, wants and desires, we are able to be their biggest advocate,” says David Elwell, president of DME Construction. “At the end of the day, we want them to feel like we are building their creation, meeting their needs and achieving their vision.” This philosophy has allowed the construction firm to develop an expansive portfolio that isn’t tied to a particular look or style. In addition to the client, another major factor that influences the direction of each project is the building site. To address this, DME Construction has created a team that is

DAVID ELWELL, PRESIDENT dmeconstruction.com 425.451.4967 dme.construction specifically focused on site development and maintenance. “They will guide how the development of both building and environment coincide and complement the organic architecture,” Elwell says.

“We’re very proud of the team we’ve built. We all share a single goal of providing the best product and services for our clients.”

What is next for your firm?

We’ve started a new division of DME in the San Juan Islands that consists of a highly qualified team of people who are committed to building and maintaining our clients’ ideal weekend escapes.

How can homeowners work best with building professionals to ensure a painless design process?

Enjoy the journey as much as possible, from finding land to building a design team and making finish selections. The more our clients are involved in the process, the more satisfaction and enjoyment they feel.

Who inspires your work?

The architects, designers and other creative minds we have been lucky enough to work with and whose ideas we bring to life. We’re also inspired when we hear stories of how much our clients enjoy their homes.

INTERIOR DESIGNERS

SUSAN MARINELLO, INTERIOR DESIGNER susanmarinello.com 206.344.5551 susanmarinellointeriors

rom the onset of her career, interior designer Susan Marinello captured the attention of industry professionals who were enthralled by her work. After a few years working in New York City, Marinello established her own firm, Susan Marinello Interiors, in Seattle. In 1997, her first project was published and the influx of clients hasn’t slowed since. The multidisciplinary design firm works on both residential and commercial projects, though the former has always been the “heartbeat” of their practice. “We strive to enrich the spaces in which our clients live,” Marinello says. “We infuse their environ-

ments with an elegant yet understated style that blends both classic and modern elements. It’s always about balance.” The Gold List honoree has been recognized in various publications for her elegant spaces, but the ultimate compliment, she says, is a repeat client. “Our greatest influence is our clients—who they are and how they want to live.”

Marinello and her talented team use this knowledge to shape their design, tell a story and curate a personalized home that’s respectful of the architecture, site and natural surroundings. “I want each of our spaces to enhance our client’s quality of life and touch them in ways they may not be able to articulate but can feel.”

CONARD ROMANO ARCHITECTS

B

uilt on a passion for delivering extraordinary service while creating finely crafted custom residences, Conard Romano Architects maintains a strong legacy of outstanding design that embodies the Pacific Northwest. “Our spectacular natural environment and temperate climate influence how our work integrates the interior and exterior spaces, blurring the line between them,” says principal James Romano. The firm’s design philosophy is rooted in an understanding of each client and the context of the structure and spaces being designed. “Our process begins with listening. We believe that understanding our client’s goals and aspirations, including aesthetic intentions and practical needs, is essential to the success of every project,” Romano adds. “From this foundation, we engage in a comprehensive study of the natural site, landscape and situation. We then provide our clients with design options, so that they can make informed choices as to how they inhabit their land.” Romano credits

the firm’s success to outstanding team effort. “Our success is predicated on our talented group of architects,” he shares. “Together, we participate in all aspects of the project, from working with the client in the design phase through the completion of construction. With our varied experiences, we each bring unique ideas and strengths to the process.”

What style is your firm most known for?

Enduring custom single-family homes encompassing styles from contemporary to traditional that reflect each client’s goals and are rooted in historic design principles, authenticity and livability.

What inspires you?

I find inspiration in the relationships and connections between things. Every project offers an infinite number of these explorations—how the structure relates to the site, how a beam sits on a column, how a window frames a view and where the client will sip their morning coffee.

Describe your dream project.

It is one where the client encourages the exploration of all aspects of the site and the program, specifically the relationships between interior and exterior spaces, allowing each to bear equally in the final design solution.

GUGGENHEIM ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN STUDIO

A

s soon as Jeff Guggenheim became a licensed architect, he and his wife Jenny, an interior designer, embraced a new venture in what they call a “now or never” moment. Together, they founded Guggenheim Architecture and Design Studio. “When we decided to form our studio, the concept of offering full-service architecture and interiors at a boutique scale proved invaluable,” Jenny says. “We’re small enough to offer a personalized experience yet robust enough to take on highly detailed projects.” Despite their size, the firm has a rather worldly perspective. The Guggenheims are known to bring unique design elements to the Pacific Northwest from faraway places, like a souk in Morocco or the Salone del Mobile design fair in Milan. The couple uses these global influences to complement the site and region at hand. Environmental concerns are another priority. “More and more clients are starting to focus on the impact of their projects,” Jeff shares.

Quick to earn recognition, the firm is a true tour de force in Pacific Northwest design.

How can clients work with architects to ensure a successful design process?

When clients have a sense of the experience they want to have, it is a great asset to the overall project. Starting with clarity allows us to present the best solutions early, which makes the entire process run smoothly.

What type of project would you love to take on?

We would love to work on the Big Island or Kauai in Hawaii. The state’s varied microclimates offer up a host of opportunities that we’d like to explore further.

What part has the digital age played in the success of your firm?

Social media has allowed us to connect with potential clients and design enthusiasts in a way that a static website cannot. We love the interaction and ability to share the process in real time.

earson Design Group claimed its place in the Pacific Northwest design scene over 20 years ago. Soon after, Justin Tollefson and Josh Barr joined founder Larry Pearson as partners in the promising firm. One of the company’s early projects—a family retreat in Big Sky, Montana—caught the editorial eye of The New York Times, who published the project and, in effect, introduced the firm to myriad prospective clients. Since then, Pearson Design Group has continued to grow and evolve; today the company includes more than 20 architects and interior designers. With such a robust team, it only makes sense that the firm’s creative vision stems from the community.

“We’re inspired by the opportunity to connect people with one another and with places,” Tollefson says. “We’re especially energized by the unique and creative clients we meet.” Authenticity, client lifestyles and the surrounding environment are the utmost priority.

“These are always the common denominators,” Tollefson adds. “Styles ebb and

What communities do you typically serve?

We work in mountain and ski communities, on waterfront properties, ranch properties and urban infill sites throughout California, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York.

How can clients make the design process more straightforward?

Being confident is among the most beneficial traits a client can have. With that sensibility, and patience and trust, great communication is sure to follow.

What’s on the horizon?

To infuse our work with greater sustainability.

We envision a portfolio of architecture that continues to be as stylistically diverse and innovative, while at the same time leads our clients and communities down the most sustainable path possible.

BAKSTAD CONSTRUCTION

ver the years, Bakstad Construction has expanded its focus to meet the needs of a flourishing community of clients. This growth required Dalen Bakstad, the firm’s founder and principal, to turn his attention to detail and utilize his steadfast market knowledge. “In 2008, when people wanted to improve their homes rather than look for new ones, we dove into high-end residential remodels,” Dalen recalls. “In 2013, our work was elevated to much larger projects thanks to excellent client referrals. Then in 2016, we began building new custom homes to complement our thriving remodel business.”

For each project, Dalen draws inspiration from the legacy of Pacific Northwest architects like Ralph Anderson, George Suyama and Tom Kundig—but it’s another exemplary person whose creative spirit really hits home. As a third-generation builder, Dalen’s expert understanding of the industry comes from his father’s love of building, and the care and attention he devoted to

Looking ahead, what is Bakstad Construction’s main focus?

We are always looking to grow our relationships with talented architects and designers. There are so many strong design visionaries out there, and we hope to collaborate with and learn from as many as possible.

What advice do you have for prospective clients?

Always start the process with a skilled architect and designer working lockstep with an experienced contractor. Having your entire team in place early generates opportunities for seamless communication, economies of scale and strong headwinds for deployment efficacy.

Today, Otis works with architects from around the country. Steiner describes Otis’ portfolio as one part “New Century Modern” and one part meticulously detailed “period” architecture. Together, they equate to building perfection.

Please name influences that inform your work.

Charles and Ray Eames, and still life painter, Giorgio Morandi—I’m inspired by their artistry and tireless refinement of their craft.

What part has the digital age played in the success of your firm?

Social media has helped expose Otis to a wider audience, but construction is, by nature, local. The technologies that serve us best are software tools that foster communication and transparency.

What are some ways to ensure a painless design process?

Savvy clients build a project team, including a general contractor, early in the process. In preconstruction, Otis specializes in ensuring that architectural intent aligns with the client’s budgetary goals.

NB DESIGN GROUP “We put ourselves in our client’s shoes so we can create spaces that reflect them.”

T

o hear James Fung and Whitney Maehara, principal designers of NB Design Group, say that they take their lead from the clients themselves might surprise at first, but upon review of the firm’s portfolio, the beauty of their approach becomes clear. “We are known for tailored, timeless spaces that reflect our client’s visions,” Fung elaborates.

“We find inspiration in working on a range of styles and mixing seemingly disparate elements to design layered homes full of personality.” It’s a process they execute masterfully. Whether traditional or contemporary, singlefamily residence or private aviation vessel, Fung, Maehara and their team create perfectly personalized environments through close collaboration.

“We welcome the client to take part in as much of the process as they would like,” Maehara says. “Open communication and a concerted effort to make the endeavor fun are goals we consider core attributes of the firm and its relationship to each client.” And they have continually achieved them, bringing to life projects

that are each as unique as their owners and sites. “We feel that our greatest success is how we’ve been able to continue offering the quality that is tantamount to NB Design Group,” Fung and Maehara say. “The variation in our projects keeps our design minds sharp and the work fun.”

What is the first project that put your company on the map?

Our Union Bay and New Revival projects have received the most attention both locally and outside the Pacific Northwest. Vastly different, they give a glimpse into our breadth of styles.

What part has the digital age played in the success of your firm?

In many ways, it has made the design community smaller. It enables us to connect with vendors and artisans we might not have been aware of before. It also allows us to take on projects in locations all over the country.

What’s next for the firm?

We plan to keep creating beautiful, client-centered spaces, while broadening our industry as a whole. We are doing this by supporting and developing new talent, vendors and artisans that have not always had a seat at the table.

Music fills a new home on Washington’s coast created by architect Regan McClellan and designer Lisa Staton.

A vintage bench pulls up to the owners’ dining table. Above the piano, Staton and her associate Tori Pitroff artfully arranged paintings from the clients’ collection. The rug is from Hedgerow.

A

sloping, densely wooded Pacific Northwest property might deter many house hunters, but for one couple—empty nesters looking to build a new nest— the lushness of the site, its quietude and its pristine water views offered everything they hoped to find. “It was like being in the San Juans instead of a dense city neighborhood,” recalls the wife. “We loved our previous house, a 1930s Tudor with a formal garden, but we wanted to design and build something completely different, something simpler than what we had without it being stark or cold.” With a clear idea of their goals, the couple tapped architect Regan McClellan to design what would become a contemporary, glass-walled home and brought in designer Lisa Staton to give them the creative, uncluttered spaces, light colors and Scandinavian feeling they desired.

Tucking the new dwelling into the hillside was not without its challenges, but McClellan and project manager Christopher Tellone embraced the complications. They created a relatively compact abode composed of three interlocking sections: the garage, a central volume containing the living areas, and a bedroom wing that includes the main suite on the entry level and two bedrooms on the second. The kitchen was carefully designed to seemingly float within the living area. “It’s every architect’s dream to have a long, narrow site and follow that natural progression through form—there’s a beautiful flow and rhythm to it,” says Tellone, who worked closely with general contractor Bill Miers on the project. “We all thought of the home as a living thing, and Bill helped us work through the complicated details we wanted to achieve.”

To tie the glass structure to the surrounding cedar and fir trees, the architects incorporated wood throughout the interiors. Clear hemlock was used for the ceilings, and walnut was chosen for the vertical slat screens that define the dining and piano rooms. “Weaving woods throughout the house created visual interest and a sense of continuity,” says Tellone. That was an important

factor for the homeowners, who, as veterans of previous remodels, knew that whatever they did choose needed to be consistent. “We wanted a limited number of finishes and design concepts repeated throughout the house,” the wife explains.

“Repetition feels soothing,” agrees Staton, and she created the cohesive feel the owners sought with a subtle palette of oatmeal, cinnamon and olive green. “They wanted a European feel,” she says, pointing to the powder room as an example.

There she paired a contemporary white sink with moody, textured wall tile and an antique mirror. “To take a modern narrative and infuse it with history feels unexpected,” the designer explains. “It’s not just decorating.” Staton is also quick to note that she likes to “go deep” with original sources for a more authentic feel. “I’ll hunt for a true Karl Springer,” she says excitedly.

And that’s something her team appreciates.

“We call collaborating with Lisa on furnishings ‘power jamming,’ ” says project manager Tori Pitroff. “We sit down together and reach out to our favorite vintage vendors to find the perfect items for a project. It was during one of those jam sessions that we found the Karl Springer coffee table for the living room. We started jumping up and down in excitement over the find,” she recalls. “I always tell my staff that if they’ve got a few minutes between meetings, hit an antique store!” remarks Staton.

In this case, the designers also had the benefit of the homeowners’ existing art collection and inherited family pieces. Staton gave their antique Swedish clock pride of place in the dining room and eagerly hung their Baccarat chandeliers— one in the couple’s bedroom and the other in an upstairs guest bathroom. In each of the bedrooms, Staton took “a more casual approach” with what she calls “European moments” that highlight the poetry of forms: mismatched tables, old and new lighting, simple coverlets or duvets and sheer wool draperies “that hang beautifully,” she explains. “This design doesn’t look like anything you see circulating the internet,” notes Pitroff. “It’s that element of slow curation that makes this house so charming.”

Dark Matters Bold use of black enlivens the contemporary spirit of this Sun Valley retreat.

Designers Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl nodded to the alpine surroundings of this Sun Valley, Idaho, getaway, but with a twist. Reduxr’s O’branch V chandelier in ostrich-egg shell, brass and resin from Stahl + Band in Venice, California, serves as an artful centerpiece in the stairwell, where the homeowners’ dog, Henry, stands watch.

I

t was supposed to be brown. That’s how one of the owners initially imagined the exterior of his Sun Valley, Idaho, vacation retreat— clad in weathered barnwood, typical of many mountain homes in the area. But his design team, Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl, as well as his wife all pushed for an edgier black hue. And once he saw it, the burnt wood exterior proved so captivating that they all agreed to pull it inside, too. Now, the structure’s charred exterior panels also serve as the dramatic unadorned lining of the two-anda-half-story stairwell entry, a signature moment in the residence. “That’s the only wall that’s completely art free—the surface itself became the art because the black is so striking,” says the husband. “We opted to leave it as it is because that wall made such a strong statement about the house, about being here in Idaho, and about bringing the outside in.”

His confidence in the designers’ color sense, though, comes from a long relationship with the duo. The clients have worked with Zwickl and Wollack multiple times throughout the past 10 years, from remodels to new construction projects.

“They may be our longest standing clients,” says Zwickl. “We have a trust relationship built over years, and we know their aesthetic.”

Zwickl, who grew up in Wyoming and calls herself “a mountain girl at heart,” took point on this ground-up build. The couple had purchased the lot with a set of plans by architect Mike Brunelle, and then modified them—extensively— with the designers, general contractors Chris Hoy and Nathan Adams, and Brunelle himself, who the husband says has “great vision.” The roof was raised a few feet to create an even more voluminous great room, and allocation for an elevator was scrapped in favor of a laundry chute, built-ins and a powder room, but largely, the architect’s vision of a reverse floor plan, “one that really capitalizes on views of Mount Baldy and accentuates the light,” Brunelle explains, held true. The interior architecture and finishes, on the other hand, were thoroughly reviewed by the client and designers. “We went through over 20 different plans, and nothing was left the same,” the husband recalls with a laugh.

Black, used both outside and in, serves as an attention-grabbing yet grounding through line.

It’s high impact but, Zwickl stresses, any darker hues and materials were carefully chosen to never read as cold or flat. In the kitchen, for instance, the black-stained cabinetry is topped by black quartzite countertops veined with zings of white, while the eye-catching steel hood has a hand-rubbed patina that adds depth and warmth. That hood, which extends up to the ceiling in a grand gesture, is echoed by the living area’s fireplace, clad in the same patinated steel, which similarly rises to the ceiling beams. “We wanted those two to speak to each other in big moments,” says Zwickl.

Otherwise, fresh white paint and natural woods take center stage, providing necessary contrast.

“There are so many windows, and the walls are so bright that our use of black never feels grim,” explains Zwickl. The light and visibility are of major importance to the couple. “There’s so much glass that you’re never really indoors,” the husband notes. “You always feel like you’re engaging with the outdoors.”

The homeowners’ overarching goal was to create a dwelling spacious enough to comfortably gather with their sons—two college-age boys— that would still feel cozy when only one of them was in residence. Zwickl answered that request by largely using plush fabrics, rugs and leathers. Her sense was to nod to the alpine surroundings, yet not lean on rustic “mountain-y” tropes; a clean, casual, modern aesthetic was the plan. “We’ve got a lot of texture and cozy materials, but it’s definitely not super traditional,” she says, “and it’s not a sleek contemporary either.” Pattern, when it does appear, walks the line between styles.

The living room lounge chairs’ houndstooth print, for instance, “feels approachable but could also be a suiting material,” Zwickl points out. On the other hand, the wallpaper in the powder room features a vibrant floral flecked with red and gold. Surprises are sprinkled in too, like the use of upcycled mail bags as the upholstery for a sofa in the bunk room, alongside a selection of whimsical contemporary artwork throughout the abode.

Thanks to the designers’ efforts, the couple’s Sun Valley escape has become a favorite destination now, particularly for the husband, who joyfully embraces his time there. “It’s my happy place,” he declares.

Using delicate porcelain, a Portland-area artist creates ceramics teeming with life.

s an art form, ceramics are full of contradiction— made from lumps of malleable possibility that, once fired, freeze into stony certainty. But clay never feels stagnant in the hands of Portlandarea artist Sally Squire. Her porcelain sculptures and vessels feel buoyant, sprouting into graceful, organic shapes. “I’m constantly exploring different forms, how I can take this single plane of clay and make it dance,” says Squire.

This fascination with shapes draws deeply from her love of nature and childhood memories exploring tidal pools full of sculptural marine life. You see those natural forms echo throughout her pieces. For Squire, however, rendering these contours in clay is less about strict biomimicry and more about celebrating nature’s sensuality. “I don’t have a specific shape in mind as I start to pull out the clay,” she explains. Instead, she feels her way through.

Though Squire previously experimented with mixed media, she has focused on clay for over a decade as “it’s always willing to go anywhere I want,” she says. She particularly enjoys using porcelain clay mixed with paper fiber, which adds both structure and lightness to the final shape. This is essential for executing her different hand-building techniques. In her “Scute” sculpture series, named after the flanges found on giant clamshells, she pulls and feathers out the pliable clay to resemble their delicate structure. In other works, she assembles complex patterns using thin wafers of clay, which are molded into petal-like shapes or dappled with texture. Then, Squire places these wafers in concentric circles to form her bowls and vases, and layers them into mosaics for her wall sculptures. “It’s about taking those little pieces and using the repetition and the rhythm to create yet another piece,” says Squire. The artist uses ceramic stains but also likes to preserve the porcelain’s natural creaminess and might adorn the surfaces with translucent alcohol inks or lines of soot created by controlling a candle flame over the surface.

The fragile pieces can have heartbreaking results when “the kiln gods decide to have their way with them,” says Squire. Yet it’s this unpredictable nature that breathes vitality into the process for the artist, who will next exhibit from March through April at Brumfield Gallery in Astoria. “There’s a lot of ‘what ifs’ in my work,” she explains. “So I’m always looking for that moment of discovery.”

In her Portland-area studio, sunlight plays off some of artist Sally Squire’s (left) vessels, including Black Collar, Armadillo, Squair and Wedge (opposite). Some of her works, like the aptly named Artichoke (below), are constructed of layered wafers of petal-shaped clay, while others, like the pieces from her “Scute” series (bottom), are pulled and feathered out to resemble marine life.

AT RIVER’S EDGE Classic cottages set the foundation for a modern dwelling on the banks of the Deschutes.

Designer Lucy Roland fashioned a cozy reading nook in the main suite of this Bend home. The custom window seat’s cushion is upholstered in Kravet’s Babbit fabric, and the pillows are covered in textiles by Rebecca Atwood, Kerry Joyce, St. Frank and Walter G. The Amélie sconce is from Cedar & Moss.

T

he small, nearly century-old cottage on the banks of the Deschutes River in Bend may have been humble, but architect Karen Smuland and designer Lucy Roland knew it well—not for its design, but for its enviable location. “The property it sat on is unbeatable: right on the river and next to one of the greatest parks in town,” Roland says. What’s more, the double lot is elevated above the water, “so you get incredible views from the ground level,” Smuland adds.

For a young family making the move from Hong Kong to Bend, the location provided an opportunity to pursue their active lifestyle without restraint. “They’re the most outdoorsy people I’ve ever met, and the perfect representation of why people move to Bend,” Roland says. “Here, they could have space and a true indoor-outdoor living situation.”

But not in the old cottage. Though Smuland and general contractor Trevin Duey explored ways to expand the structure, a feasibility study revealed that the foundation only supported a fraction of the home’s footprint—a patchwork of additions made over the years—and that the second story the homeowners required wouldn’t be possible without a cost-prohibitive retrofit.

“When we came to the conclusion that the house had to go, we wanted to avoid sending everything to the landfill,” Duey recalls. So, the team invited neighbors and Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore to salvage windows, doors, cabinets, appliances, and plumbing and lighting fixtures, then embarked on a painstaking deconstruction process, separating and recycling siding, concrete, asphalt shingles and wood.

While the complete demolition of the existing structure offered something of a blank slate, Smuland still needed to work within some other parameters on the site. A 40-foot setback from the Deschutes’ rock bluffs and riparian habitat would shape her design, as would the property’s heritage apple and Russian olive trees, which the architect chose to save. “Although we didn’t have to preserve everything, it felt important to keep some aspects of the former house,” she says. The shade of another large tree dictated the shape and placement of shed roofs that accommodate a large photovoltaic array.

Working within these parameters—and keeping in mind the homeowners’ taste for Scandinavianmodern style—Smuland designed a two-story home with river views and outdoor access from nearly every room. On the main floor, a large, folding glass door connects the open-plan kitchen, dining and great room to a multilevel patio. The second-floor owners’ suite includes a bedroom and den that open onto a balcony overlooking the water.

A dark exterior palette of charred, stained and brushed tongue-and-groove cedar, stucco and board-formed concrete exudes a quiet presence nestled into a setting by landscape architect Michael Szabo. Light cedar soffits and beams hint at the airier mood inside, where soft white walls, cool gray concrete countertops, and white oak floors and cabinets amplify the natural light that streams in through broad windows. “The linear windows make the house feel more horizontal and less vertical; less cluttered and more open to the sky,” Smuland says.

Roland also had views in mind when selecting clean-lined, neutral furnishings that rely on rich textures for warmth and impact. “We don’t have a lot of bold patterns in here,” she says. “It’s very subdued—because when you have a view like this, why would you try to fight it? When you walk in the house, your eye flows through and out to the river.”

In the great room, a daybed upholstered in a green bouclé, a vintage brass drum table and a sofa covered in gray wool gather around a concrete hearth. “A cement-faced fireplace could read very cool and contemporary,” Roland says, “but when you add in a rustic oak mantel, it changes everything.” Wood plays a similar role in the kitchen. Applied to the hood and the face of the island, it provides a warm contrast to white flat-panel cabinets and handmade, three-dimensional backsplash tile, which Roland loves for its eye-catching texture. “It’s subtle yet dramatic,” she says. “It’s kind of unexpected, too.”

But the most surprising design moment awaits in the powder room, where Roland papered the walls in a bold, abstract pattern in vibrant shades of blue. “The powder room is where you can go big and outside the box,” she says. But not too far—with shapes and colors evocative of cool rapids, even this detail ensures that the river is never far from mind.
