Lakefront revival

An older home with serious aesthetic deficiencies, situated on an exclusive south-facing lakefront, was ready to be revivified. Extensive remodels present many challenges... overcoming them together makes the final outcome so much more rewarding.

ARCHITECTS

“This house is now an extraordinary place to be, and yet really comfortable, incredibly accommodating. Everywhere you look, there’s something beautiful. The amount of masonry that went into the house is just absolutely lovely. Much of it can be seen, but there are great parts that can’t be seen that are equally wonderful. We’re the beneficiaries of an extraordinary process.”

SCENE

TAKE A SEAT

DONGHIA’S CRESCENT CHAIR AND OTTOMAN

With their latest collection, Icons II, Donghia taps its extraordinary archive once more to create updated iterations of founder Angelo Donghia’s original designs. The Crescent Chair and Ottoman, newly arrived in the company’s showrooms, is a celebration of his mastery of scale, tailoring, comfort and elegance. “The two-tier slipper chair became a staple in Angelo’s own decor as well as his clients’ homes,” explains Doug Garfinkle, who was named creative director shortly after the company

was purchased by Kravet in 2020. (Donghia founded his company in 1968 and was renowned as much for his business acumen as for his interiors, which brought such clients as Halston and Ralph Lauren.)

“Versatile and overstuffed, it came to embody and identify his style as luxurious, relaxed and distinctly American,” Garfinkle adds of the iconic design. This newly released model honors archival forms but has been updated for today. “The Crescent Chair embraces patterns and a playful spirit,” Garfinkle continues. “Its function and casual nature invite a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere, yet the tailoring remains second to none. Modern and elegant, the Crescent Chair pays homage to the past while moving the vision forward.” kravet.com

LIGHT SHOW

DEAD CITY LIGHTING

Even before founding their architecture firm Mutuus Studio eight years ago with partner Jim Friesz, Saul and Kristen Becker had been playing with light. Often incorporating handmade custom light fixtures into their projects, which run the gamut from restaurants to residences and everything in between, the designers suddenly found themselves with the makings of a lighting collection. “After dozens of variations and custom lights, we decided it was time to offer them to the larger community,” says Saul of the new line, named Dead City Lighting. “The first fixture came to life while experimenting with leftover linen Saul used to make his artist canvases,” says Kristen, describing Saul’s background in painting, which, along with his work as a sculptor and shipwright, informed the collection’s aesthetic. Moody and sculptural, each piece is designed around tubular shades made from a material called Micarta, which is essentially canvas layered with resin. When lit, the result is a warm, ambient glow that recalls times past. “Each light in the collection references a lost city of antiquity,” Saul says. “I’m fascinated with how we live with light and the way it transcends time.” mutuus-studio.com

TALKING SHOP

MAYER DESIGNS INC.

Kicking off a bold chapter, Seattle-based Mayer Designs Inc. (MDI) is bringing their attention to craft and detail to a new frontier: woodworking. Long admired for their custom metal finishing and fabrication, this year MDI opened an in-house woodshop alongside the launch of their furniture line, the MDI Store. “Opening a woodshop to complement our metalwork has been a years-long goal,” says Jessica Mayer, who co-founded MDI with partner Nicholas Mayer in 2007. Consisting of walnut and hot-rolled steel, each piece in the new collection represents the industrial-chic aesthetic the duo has been honing for years. “We wanted to create furniture that had utility and purpose while being approachable,” Jessica says. “We are well-versed in crafting what we call ‘jewelry for the home,’ but we wanted to explore the industrial, raw side of furniture making and create pieces that people can live around and use to the fullest.” The resultant flexible and functional line includes a rolling worktable with drawers and shelving, customizable shelving units featuring utility options for tools and rolls of paper, benches, and colorful swivel stools. “We designed the pieces for creative, out-of-the-box environments like studios, workplaces, kitchens and gardens,” Jessica explains. In fact, her own process of designing an artist studio in her Washington home was the spark that led to the collection. “I was looking for furnishings for my space and was striking out, and the idea of making our own studio furniture excited Nich and I,” she says. “It’s a collection made for places where both creating and gathering happen.” mayerdesigns.com

STATE OF THE ART

SEATTLE ART SOURCE

When it comes to the Pacific Northwest’s art scene, Sarah Hurt knows her stuff—and then some. As the founder of Seattle Art Source, she’s been connecting local artists with interior designers for years. Now, she’s writing her next chapter with a new brickand-mortar space in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood. Here, Hurt talks all things art. seattleartsource.com

Why did you start Seattle Art Source? I launched the company in 2017, and it was always about making the art-buying process more approachable. My brother-in-law was making handcrafted wood furniture, and I was curating rotating art shows in his showroom, which put me in contact with designers. My goal has always been to provide a supportive place for local artists to sell their work.

Congrats on your new space! Tell us about it. We have equipped the space to do more programming with our artists and kicked it off with a group show called “Form Over Function.” We will also use the space to provide curated shopping experiences. When you make an appointment, we can pull and hang the art you have selected so it feels like a gallery curated entirely for you.

What do you love most about Seattle’s art scene?

Without a doubt it’s the creative and hardworking artists and art professionals in this city. I have met and worked with a constellation of humans pulling together to put Seattle on the map, and it’s an honor to be one small part of that ecosystem.

What’s next for Seattle Art Source? So much! 2025 will be our first showing at Seattle Art Fair and our first full year of being studio mates with Ore Studios, the interior design firm with whom we share the building. It’s going to be a fabulous year!

RETAIL THERAPY

For as long as she can remember, interior designer Marianne Simon has loved European antiques. After spending years sourcing these one-of-a-kind pieces for projects through her studio, Marianne Simon Design, the venerable interior designer decided to open her collection to the public. Located in her Seattle studio in the city’s Madison Park neighborhood, the shop is a veritable treasure trove of objects collected from Simon’s frequent travels to Paris, Provence and beyond. “Most are pieces from France that I hand-sourced,” Simon explains. “We have 18 th-century Louis Philippe mirrors, hand-poured candles from Provence, Delft plates from the Netherlands, hand-pressed herbariums from Sweden, and beautiful antique linens from France and Ireland, to name a few.” Many of the pieces have a unique story, which Simon delights in sharing with clients, as she only sources objects that strike a chord with her personally. “The pieces are hard for me to part with, but I’m always excited to see what homes they go to,” she admits. “I hope visitors to my store walk away with the feeling that living with beautiful things is attainable, and you can start with one piece at a time.” mariannesimondesign.com

IN THE STUDIO

NATASHA ALPHONSE

For ceramicist Natasha Alphonse, the environment is her greatest muse. Crafting functional pottery and largescale vessels, Alphonse has long been inspired by the rugged Pacific Northwest landscape and its moody climate. Recently, her creative context experienced a major upgrade as she moved into a new backyard studio designed by local architecture firm GO'C. LUXE checked in with Alphonse to learn more. alphonsestudio.com

Why did you decide to build your own studio? I rented studio space for many years and slowly daydreamed about the things that would be important in my own creative space, natural light being a big one. We built the studio behind our home in West Seattle. The space is very open with large windows and feels like I am making pots outside, which is my favorite part.

What are the inspirations behind your work?

The landscape and nature are my main inspirations. I love

living here in the Pacific Northwest; the ocean and mossy rainforests are just insanely beautiful. It gets me really excited to get into the studio after being surrounded by beauty like that.

Can you share your process with us? My favorite clays are sandy stoneware clay bodies, and I make some simple neutral glazes that are usually just on the interiors of my pieces. I want them to feel stony and earthy, so I like to leave the outsides bare and sand them smooth at the very end. I use an atmospheric firing process, and sometimes I fire in a wood kiln, which creates a wide range of surfaces. This method feels more like a collaboration with the fire.

What’s next? I’m developing a new line of work using white slips and glazes made from wood ash. It’s a long process of testing, and the work is always evolving, with so many possibilities to explore. That’s the best part of ceramics: There are endless paths to wander down.

CALM & COLLECTED

FOR DESIGNER BETH WEBB, SERENITY IN THE BEDROOM—AND BEYOND—COMES DOWN TO CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF WHITE.

WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

Pale, nature-inspired tones converge in a luxurious bedroom in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Drapes of Rose Cumming fabric and an Eve and Staron rug wrap the space in softness.

Beloved for her neutral, tonal, collected interiors, Atlanta-based designer Beth Webb is a master craftswoman of peaceful environs, whether seaside, mountain top or in the heart of a city. And in no space is fostering a tranquil visual language more important than the bedroom—a cocooning place of retreat that’s squarely top of mind during this season of hibernation.

Webb’s distinct brand of quiet luxury is on proud display in her muchanticipated monograph, Embracing Beauty: Serene Spaces for Living (Rizzoli, February 2025), which promenades 14 magnificent homes from Florida to the Grand Tetons. Within its glossy pages, the designer subtly divulges the elements that, for her, compose a restful bedroom: soft palettes, gracious canopy beds trimmed with diaphanous drapery, richly textured

wall treatments, crisp Italian linens and a perch with patina to take in the views out the window.

Below, in an unpublished passage adapted exclusively for the pages of LUXE, the designer expounds on capturing the feeling of white (rather than the hue itself), and on the fundamentals that together make a home a sanctuary. Take a page from her design philosophy playbook in reimagining your own boudoir for a long winter’s nap.

The snowfall outside the window in Paris makes the city white in its body, white in its quiet. I wake early and sit in the lamplight, watching. This white. This quiet. How do we inhabit it? How do we maintain, in Stieglitz’s words, this “great white stillness?”

This is what I’m seeking: to enable us to live inside this sheltering. Sanctuary,

A creamy white bedroom in Atlanta synthesizes designer Beth Webb’s (portrait above) quiet yet layered approach. The Tara Shaw Maison bed sports a skirt of Loro Piana fabric and custom Julia B. Casa linens.

refuge—there are many names. “Embrace” speaks to this intimacy—to being sheltered and protected. When you are held by light, by space, by music, by a beloved, there can be a luminosity to embrace. There is an aura of refuge.

I studied fine art at university and, early in my career, visited the Florence Academy of Art, where they still taught in the tradition of 19th-century École des

Beaux-Arts academicians. They drew from life, down to the bones. They studied: line, material, proportion, placement, negative space, composition. My intention to this day is to apply that visual language of art to interiors. A room is an immersive composition. A key tool is light. In each of our projects, we start sculpting space with light. Our palette is quiet but always subtly tailored to the qualities of light in that landscape. East and west, mountain and coast, there is an intimacy of the interaction between light and color that we are very attentive to. At its best, it enables dissolution into quiet and contentment.

Within these serene interiors, detail enables discovery over time—all is not immediately revealed. When you study painting, you learn the value of negative space, of absence, of what is withheld. Like the work of the symbolist poets, it’s about allusion, not explication. “The ‘blanks’ indeed take on importance,” writes Mallarmé. It’s only upon closer

attention that one discovers the subtle shadings, the refinements, the textures. From the way the local light interacts with a palette—and how the subtlest difference in shade can transform the feeling of a space—to the touch of a textile so soft that it elicits an immediate sense of calm, a deeply attentive choreography of these elements enables the whole to be much more than the sum of its parts. It creates atmosphere. It creates sanctuary. And sanctuary is a form of embrace. When you imbue a home with warmth, welcome, charm and ease, it holds you in return—a room becomes a refuge, a house, a haven. As a designer, it is my life’s work to achieve this with each and every room. I want it to be well-designed, I want it to be beautiful but, more than anything, I want it to provide peace. bethwebb.com, rizzoliusa.com

Ethereal drapes on a canopy bed are a signature stroke of Webb’s, as seen in her forthcoming monograph (cover left). In this Brays Island, South Carolina, bedroom, panels of scrim linen from Ulster Linen offer a touch of rustic elegance.

THE FOUNDER OF THE LUXURY BED COLLECTION SHARES TIPS FOR GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP.

Known as the Sleep Whisperer, Mary Pat Wallace understands just how important selecting the right mattress is when it comes to getting proper shut-eye. It’s the one item in your home that is used more than anything else and can have the biggest impact on wellbeing. Below, Wallace shares what to keep in mind when investing in a mattress. theluxurybedcollection.com

Materials Matter

It’s essential that the mattress companies I work with use natural materials. Spending eight hours a night with your face in something that’s full of harmful chemicals is not ideal. Both Hästens and Vispring are focused on using wood bases that aren’t treated with toxins along with flax, cotton, wool and steel springs. And what these materials do, depending on quantity and how they’re layered with the different spring designs, is deliver a completely elevated feel and sleeping experience.

Personalization Is Key

Different body densities require different mattress makeups. The brands at The Luxury Bed Collection offer split tensions, which can make all the difference when sleeping in the same bed with someone. For example, a smaller person needs less support and more pressure relief. I personally think that most people are sleeping on mattresses that are way too firm—go with what feels better to you!

Do Your Homework

I admit that I cringe when I hear about online purchases—you really should go in person to test a mattress. We have locations in Chicago, Dallas and Naples, Florida, and I urge people to come in, book some time, turn your cellphone off and get educated. Tell us how you’re sleeping, what your needs are, and let us help guide you through this process so you can find a mattress that, no joke, that will change your life and keep you healthy.

CARVING OUT SPACE TO BREATHE, A DALLAS INTERIOR DESIGN TEAM FORMS A ROOM LAYERED IN TEXTURE AND GEARED TOWARD HOLISTIC LIVING.

“This room was designed as a sanctuary for the homeowner,” says Cody Brown, co-owner of Bridges Brown Interiors. With partner Jeremy Bridges, he incorporates a lifestyle-oriented approach to the firm’s timeless and eclectic designs. To create a peaceful meditation room in an expansive Dallas home, Brown focused on all-natural materials that allude to the outdoors: A cork wallcovering pressed with specks of gold leaf creates a meditative backdrop; a set of hand-crocheted silk lights present a range of stony hues; and green acts as an accent throughout, as seen in a molded

BRIGHT FUTURE

A look into the made-in-America lighting companies that are illuminating the way forward.

Family Affair

BOYD LIGHTING

Shepherding Boyd

Lighting into the future is creative director Schuyler Sweet, a fourth-generation Boyd family member. The company was founded in San Francisco in 1921 and has more than a century of legacy under its belt, including creating the fixtures for the city’s famous Opera House in the ’30s. Since then, it has navigated changing design movements—Beaux Arts, Art Deco, midcentury modern—and countless innovations. That’s where Sweet comes in, with one eye on the past and one on the

future, with a goal to distill and finesse the Boyd DNA. “Every generation has their own philosophy,” he says. “My ethos is to bring Boyd back to its classic modern roots and add a levity to the brand.”

Boyd is now headquartered in Colorado, where everything is handmade to order. At the intersection of its aesthetic are materials like brass, bronze and copper— nonferrous, nonrusting materials that will stand the test of time—in silhouettes and shapes devoid of extraneous details. “Part of the challenge is making a really simple design,” says Sweet. “There’s elegance in simplicity.” The Ovalo pendant above embodies these principles: unadorned, hand-finished brass loops are suspended from the ceiling and illuminated by an LED light source. As for what’s to come this year, Schuyler hints at a move towards

femininity and softness, with glass having a noticeable presence. “Design is allowed to change with the times and reflect what is going on in the world—it’s a dialogue, a visual language.” boydlighting.com

Boyd Lighting’s elegant Ovalo pendant hangs dramatically over a staircase. Schuyler Sweet (below), the company’s creative director, who joined the company in 2011, oversees the brand’s identity from its Colorado headquarters.

Forging Ahead

HUBBARDTON FORGE

“When I first started at Hubbardton Forge 13 years ago, I didn’t have a job title,” says Andy Morter. “I was given a long leash to explore and tinker with materials and LEDs, which were changing the lighting landscape at the time.” Fast-forward to present day, and Morter, now design developer under the direction of VP of Design David Kitts, continues to experiment and take creative liberties, resulting in provocative creations like the Snaps collection, shown here and launching early this year.

The system’s leather straps, connecting LED modules that sit within alabaster discs, are fully customizable, giving interior designers the freedom to play with the configuration and positioning to create unique and bold installations. The fluid design is not necessarily inspired by a place or thing or era, but rather by the raw materials at hand. “It’s about the exploration of parts and pieces and bringing these materials and new technologies together,” says Morter.

The Vermont company’s goal is to build upon its storied foundation for everything created, from the newest leather Snaps collection to its iconic metal offerings. What began as a forgery 50 years ago has evolved into so much more, but staying ahead while remaining true to their roots is a formula they have mastered thus far. hubbardtonforge.com

Quality Control

RTO LIGHTING

“I’m definitely the orchestra leader in our opera of sorts,” Robert True Ogden says of RTO Lighting, the company he founded 20 years ago and which has since grown to some 60 people. Departments dedicated to woodworking, ceramics and metalworking are filled with talented makers working alongside employees in logistics and prototyping to create pieces that sing.

At the beginning of Ogden’s career, crafting lights was a creative side gig that didn’t have the limitations of his day job, but he soon realized pursuing it full-time was far more fulfilling. Today, RTO Lighting is a craft-first company whose products are all handmade in its Philadelphia workshop, something Ogden feels immensely proud of as he oversees the artisans who put together each item.

“My hope is that, in having outstanding quality, these designs will be collected and passed down through generations,” he says.

Most recently, Ogden has come together with designer and owner of Fair showroom Brad Ford to launch their first lighting collaboration, the Alina Collection, comprising table, floor and pendant lights with beautiful hair-on-hide shades. Ogden was inspired after reading an article about leather tanning and some of the toxicities caused by the process, instead wanting to embrace the natural product as is. The makers love how the product turned out—cowlicks and all—with the RTO Lighting founder noting, “There’s a simplicity to the designs that celebrates form, function and materiality”. rtolighting.com; fair-design.com

Sheer Genius

For nearly 70 years, Jack Lenor Larsen’s eponymous line of textiles has been a go-to source for organic-meets-contemporary fabrics, utilizing techniques both old and new to create one-of-a-kind designs. Of Larsen’s many offerings—decorative weaves, nubby wovens, velvets and wools— it’s the brand’s attention to the humble sheer and its duty to diffuse the light from

a sun-drenched window that designers have long admired. Take the Koto textured sheer (from their latest collection inspired by African crafts) hung here. The gauzy open weave texture is a blend of wool and linen with a hint of metallic yarn that subtly shimmers in the sunlight—a glimmering surprise even on winter’s longer and darker days, letting the outdoors in. cowtan.com

Standouts from Larsen’s newest collection include Koto, a dreamy sheer woven with metallic thread, and Kifi, a diamond-shaped jacquard weave.

DOUBT

All Natural

Ali Davin has spent decades in the industry developing her unique approach to luxurious, sustainable design, which in many cases begins with using environmentally safe, nontoxic materials alongside lots of natural light. See, for instance, the Healdsburg, California, dining area at left, which features reclaimed wooden beams, linen drapery and metal furniture as well as limestone ooring. Door ventilation on three sides of the room activates a lovely cross breeze, and the space was designed with sunrise and sunset positioning in mind to create energy efficiencies. Curious where to start when creating your own healthy space? Davin, who owns San Francisco-based Jute Interior Design, recently published Live Natural , a book offering inspirational visuals and accessible tips for creating a cleaner home. juteinteriordesign.com

An ode to wellness rituals, the collection invites you to relax at home and cozy up in extremely luxurious bedding, blankets and pillows. CEO Filippo Arnaboldi explains that this season is all about “transforming spaces into authentic sanctuaries of refinement,” and the new pieces, which emphasize natural materials like silk, cashmere and cotton, are indeed ideal for immersing yourself within your own bedroom oasis. Seen below are the Palace Throw and Decorative Cushion, Nest and Luxury Cashmere Velvet Decorative Cushions, and Knop and Pure Cashmere Throws. frette.com

Light The Way

Lutron’s smallest downlight to date, the new Ketra D2 comes in an array of minimal trims finely honed for a flush-to-the-ceiling aesthetic sought out by top designers. “The sleek, 2-inch aperture is a testament to modern design, allowing me to integrate lighting seamlessly into my interiors without overpowering them,” says Young Huh, founder of Young Huh Interior Design, who frequently uses Lutron pieces. The fixtures also leverage Ketra’s full-color, fourchannel optics to create the widest light spectrum available and adapt to various moments throughout the day. “Their discreet presence means I can focus on overall aesthetics, using light to showcase key features—like beautiful artwork or textured fabrics— without detracting from the design narrative,” Huh shares. lutron.com

Expert Opinion

When it comes to color and its effect on wellbeing, textile designer Lori Weitzner, a true expert on the subject, sums it up in two words: It’s personal. What feels calming or exhilarating to one individual might have the opposite eff ect for another. In her book Ode to Color , Weitzner has developed a test (which is also available online) that readers can take to learn which hues are best suited for them. The results are one of 10 unique “color worlds” composed of nuanced palettes for nuanced needs. Of the over 100,000 completed tests, the leading outcome is Fragrant Woods—the shades of an ancient forest like mossy greens and dark woods that, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, feel “grounding, rooting and nurturing,” explains Weitzner. Look out for these richer tones in the year ahead. loriweitzner.com

Open Vista

Marvin windows are rede ning the concept of a “room with a view.” In response to requests from architects, the company’s new, state-of-the art Modern Corner Window brings penthouse vibes and unobstructed views to any room of the house. As the name indicates, the window has two panes that meet at a right angle, seamlessly framing the exterior surroundings into a postcard-worthy panorama. The Corner Window maximizes two important elements: sight lines and natural light. It’s both an impactful design choice, creating a dramatic focal point, and a pragmatic solution for letting more light into a room. marvin.com

The leading results of Lori Weitzner’s color test are hues found in nature, like rich greens and warm woods. Clockwise from top right are new paint colors Paris Rain, Leather Saddle Brown, Rosepine, and Cinnamon Slate by Benjamin Moore.

SOFT GREENS ARE A VERSATILE ANCHOR FOR ANY ROOM— JUST ASK DESIGNER MICHELLE MORGAN HARRISON.

WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

“I’m known for creating ‘breathe out’ houses, and for me, greens are an amazingly calming tool,” says Connecticut-based designer Michelle Morgan Harrison. With this philosophy in mind, Morgan Harrison looked to floor coverings in gentle variations of the hue to anchor her clients’ Greenwich

residence. Take the dining room above, whose mélange is pulled together by a Moroccan rug with hints of sage peeking through creamy shag plumes. “Pairing a vibrant base with neutral shag is a great way to soften colors,” the designer says. The adjacent breakfast area’s sleek lines are

warmed by a dhurrie-style wool flatweave in a shade Morgan Harrison dubs deep celery. “Rugs are the key to any room and a great way to add understated color,” she notes. “Here, we pulled subtle shades from nature to create something layered, relaxing and fabulous.” morganharrisonhome.com

LIVING

KITCHEN + BATH

Design is in the details, as evidenced by a thoughtful Pacific Northwest abode that celebrates natural light and timeless materials.

In the Pacific Northwest, Lisa Staton designed a kitchen for clients who wanted to infuse classic style throughout their home. Custom cabinets are painted Farrow & Ball’s Shaded White. The Wood Stone pizza oven is surrounded by Mutual Materials brick tile, and Woodbridge Furniture counter stools pull up to the island.

Time Traveler

DESIGNER LISA STATON USES CLASSIC STYLE TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK IN A WASHINGTON KITCHEN, BATH AND LAUNDRY.

WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING

When remodeling this Washington home, designer Lisa Staton worked hard to ensure it didn’t read as “new,” channeling the old-world European charm her clients fell in love with during their travels. That aesthetic became the cornerstone for an update that created timeless rooms for work, play and relaxation. We asked Staton how she shaped some of the most significant spaces in the abode. lisastaton.com

How did you approach the kitchen? This part of the house is important because she is a cookbook author and wanted a beautiful place to work and photograph her culinary creations, and he enjoys roasting and brewing coffee. Residential designer Adair Orr of Armadillo Design Lab and I relocated the kitchen to the other side of the house to take advantage of the views. It is a workhorse room— cooking implements hang over the range within arm’s reach—but is also styled as an extension of the living spaces. Most of the appliances are hidden in the pantry, which keeps things airy and allows room to display items like serveware, plants and candlesticks. Perimeter cabinets are a soft white, the island is a natural wood tone, and both have traditional trim and marble counters.

Northwest Woodslayer fabricated the cabinets; the brass hardware and curved faucets are by Devol. A Thermador range is backed by custom vintage-looking tile the clients found in Portugal. Staton discovered the pair of antique pendants at Obsolete in Los Angeles.

Tell us about the coffee bar between the kitchen and dining room. My java-loving client wanted to make coffee while enjoying the sunshine in the kitchen, but we couldn’t find the right spot. Instead, we established a coffee bar in the passage between the two rooms and then surrounded it with interior windows that allow for plenty of light. The location is perfect for entertaining, as it permits him to easily serve guests a cup no matter where they are sitting. This dining room color is dreamy! We wanted it to be differentiated from the lighter colors in the kitchen. When you enter the dining room, there is this sense of reaching a retreat or destination as you are surrounded by inky color painted on paneled walls. How did you decide on the mix of pieces here? The clients owned this table but requested fully upholstered chairs to surround it, so we gave them comfortable seats covered in an old-school plaid textile. Scalloped bone-china shades on the pendants are new and add a fresh note. The wall sconces and the rug are vintage—older pieces add emotion to a room. Although we occasionally use online sources, I insist on visiting local and East Coast brick-and-mortar shops for antique and vintage pieces. It’s a practice that provides the kind of organic discovery an algorithm just can’t feed you.

Staton designed the coffee bar’s cabinetry (left), which is topped with Carrara marble and lit by glass Mullan light fixtures. In the dining room (below), cloaked in Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue, a Christie Rise & Fall pendant by Original BTC hangs above Jessica Charles chairs and a table the clients acquired from 1stdibs.

Designing the right solution

“I think it’s important that this utilitarian room be practical but also in keeping with the rest of the house.”
–LISA STATON

What was the goal with this laundry room? Since the owners will be in this room a lot, why not make it as enjoyable as it is functional? We kept the original cabinetry but painted it a soft blush color. Adding butcher-block countertops was key, because the material is durable and attractive. I think it’s important that this utilitarian room be practical but also in keeping with the rest of the house. You could say the same for the vintage-inspired laundry rack and step stool. All these elements help the very modern washer and dryer live comfortably in a more traditional environment. The deep-green wall tile reflects the gorgeous Pacific Northwest colors you see outside the window and gives the space a relaxing feeling.

What were the considerations for the primary bathroom? One of the notable features in this room is the killer view. In order to not block the scenery more than necessary, we installed sweet café curtains that provide privacy but allow a look at the water, trees and distant mountains. The homeowner loves a soak, so a stand-alone tub was a necessity, and a pair of marble shelves provides a space for toiletries and candles. Their brackets, like the tub ller and taps, are unlacquered brass that will patina over time. Is the oor brick? This room seemed to call for a unique oor, something with an aged appearance. Brick was brie y

considered, but we opted for a tumbled marble eld tile the client discovered. It has a rosy hue, and it was masonry-like without being porous. When laid in a herringbone pattern, it certainly resembles brick. Tell us about hanging multiple light xtures over the tub. I was looking for something a bit more unexpected than a chandelier above the tub. The clients couldn’t pick just a single style of these handmade xtures, so we opted to use one of each, hung in a row at staggered heights. It’s something like a deconstructed chandelier, and you can appreciate their shapes as they dangle in front of a wall of simple white-hued tile.

MEET TODAY’S DESIGN INDUSTRY GREATS

Whether they are designing, constructing or outfitting a home or environment (or perhaps doing all three), it takes a creative vision and a passion for excellence to do it with style and skill. Within the pages of Industry Insiders, LUXE Interiors + Design celebrates those who dare to do just that with their own unique flair.

FARMER PAYNE ARCHITECTS

“OUR HIGHLY PERSONAL DESIGNS ARE UNIQUE YET UNOBTRUSIVE, FRESH YET STILL REFINED, AND EACH PROJECT IS INFORMED BY PLACE.”

When considering a lifechanging new build or reimagining a much-loved family home, what is more beneficial than working with a visionary architect? Working with two. “Originally from Louisiana, I started my namesake firm there before moving to Jackson, Wyoming, where I joined forces with Jamie Farmer to create Farmer Payne Architects in 2017,” says Scott Payne. With their Louisiana and Jackson studios thriving, Payne moved his family to Sun Valley, Idaho, where he opened FPA’s third branch. “Our first project in Sun Valley won us our first AIA award,” Jamie says. “Since then, we’ve won a number of additional awards and accolades, but the truest measure of our success lies in our satisfied clients and the relationships we’ve built over the years.” And how does Farmer Payne Architects go about achieving that? “Our entire approach is client driven,” Scott shares. “We believe that collaboration with our clients partnered with our design expertise is the key to bringing

their visions to life in the most holistic way.” Jamie jumps in, “In addition to the strong bond we form with each client— which allows us to fully understand their wants, needs, taste and lifestyle—we also get to know their homesite and consider all of the trademarks that will make their project truly unique.”

ASK THE EXPERT

Talk about a notable project that exemplifies your strengths. Aside from the fact that Avalanche Chalet in Sun Valley was designed to withstand an avalanche, what truly distinguishes this project is our collaborative approach. Situated on a steep 45-degree slope with stunning views of Bald Mountain, we worked closely with fabricators, structural engineers and concrete specialists to navigate the unique challenges that this AIA Idaho Awardwinning project presented.

Elaborate on your clientele and the types of communities you work in. Because we are deeply committed to high-quality, timeless design that is informed by the landscape and the surrounding community, we love working with clients who have the same beliefs.

BAKSTAD CONSTRUCTION

Over 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 and builders, 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 each step of the process. This family influence has guided Dalen’s priorities, too. “Our greatest success is feeding the traditions, stories and memories that families experience in the homes we build,” Dalen says. “The more people live out the joys and challenges of their lives in their homes, the more our legacy grows.”

Gentry : Our Kips Bay Decorator Show House enabled us to showcase the brand in a defining way. We had free reign and crafted the best of our aesthetic in our “Wise and Wicked” space. The rooms were an homage to the modern woman—a paradox who is both wise about her business and wickedly amusing in her off time. She is graceful and glam, playful and polished; this loft space reflects that duality.

What has been your greatest success?

Dotolo: Honestly, we would both say our partnership. At a lmost 18 years, we’ve lasted longer than a lot of marriages! We were so lucky to find each other all those years ago in Dallas, and we keep building on the strengths that we each bring to our company.

When it comes to dreams, it often pays to play the long game. Such was the case for a Seattle couple who in 2016 started looking for a waterfront property to build the home they were envisioning. Four years later, their patience paid off when they landed the perfect site on Arroyo Beach. “They had been coveting this West Seattle property for years,” says architect Alix Day, who was brought on board to help make the dwelling a reality.

Working closely with general contractor Dalen Bakstad, Day created a residence that married the couple’s modern aesthetic with vintage 1970s design, all while containing plenty of space for their eclectic family heirlooms. The result is colorful, highly personal interiors that tell the story of the couple’s shared life and embrace the shoreline just steps away.

The couple had resided in many different Seattle neighborhoods but decided they wanted to pursue the type of Northwest lifestyle— boating, swimming, beach barbecues, day trips to nearby islands—made possible by living on the water. While the new residence enjoys direct beach access and enviable views of Puget Sound, the design needed to do more than just open to the landscape. “They had previously lived with an open floor plan but realized they loved the feeling of more traditional homes with separate spaces and intimate areas,” Day says. With this in mind, the architect set to work designing a two-story abode where each room tells a different story.

Working with Bakstad on the build was a natural fit for Day, as the duo have been collaborating for over a decade. The project was an opportunity for Bakstad and his team to stretch their capacity to create personalized flourishes, like the custom walnut vinyl record wall in the husband’s office. “We’ve been constructing houses

in Seattle for 30 years, but this is one of the most detailed dwellings we’ve built to date,” the general contractor notes.

Starting with the exterior, Day proposed a gabled structure that harked to Scandinavian design with a dash of California cool. “Big Sur and Sea Ranch were big inspirations for me,” she muses. She captured that modern coastal feel with wood siding that will silver over time in the wind and sea spray, eventually possessing the look and feel of driftwood.

Inside, Day designed the interiors largely around the couple’s existing furnishings, which combine luxe glamour and rich fabrics with midcentury-inspired silhouettes, then added in additional texture with draperies, textiles and wallcoverings. “They are not afraid of color and pattern and have great taste,” the architect says. Walnut casework and white oak ceilings on the main floor bring a distinctly Northwestern warmth. “I wanted that mix for depth and richness,” Day explains.

The team embraced a dramatic ambience throughout, but the home reaches its maximalist peak in the media room. “Initially we thought we would paint the whole space, but it felt like we should have something more interesting going on,” recalls Day, who worked with the owners to source a wallcovering in a kaleidoscopic 1970s pattern that she then applied to both the walls and ceiling. The print complements an eclectic collection of treasured family heirlooms, including a portrait of the husband’s grandmother.

Outside, the couple’s new waterfront lifestyle is complemented by a kidney-shaped swimming pool original to the property but now softened by native plantings curated by landscape designer Tim Hawkins. The sum of the property gives the couple more than they initially imagined. “Living here in this house brings the vision my wife and I had full circle,” the owner says. “I really think this is where we were meant to be.”

UNTAMED BEAUTY

When creating a new home for an idyllic Bainbridge Island site, the design team tapped into the location’s wild side.

WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KEVIN SCOTT

There’s a special kind of rugged beauty found on the islands off the coast of Washington. Their landscapes seem to possess a compelling, enduring magic. But even in a region filled with cinematic vistas, this small treeand rock-studded Bainbridge Island peninsula jutting into the Puget Sound is exceptional. Surrounded on three sides by water (with a still, quiet bay on one side and the deep, wave-tossed sound on the other), it is almost an island unto itself. It’s no wonder that architect Steve Hoedemaker was enchanted by the land long before he set foot on it. “It’s an incredible piece of property,” he says. “I had seen it listed for sale, and I obsessively studied the aerial photos online.” His fascination with the site was fortuitous, because when he was asked to design a timeless, of-theplace residence for it, he was ready.

The home that was there previously was far less exciting than the surroundings, with low ceilings, awkward spaces and poorly placed windows that didn’t capture the striking scenes just beyond the glass. Building codes required the team (including architect Bryan Chilcote, designer Tim Pfeiffer and general contractor Mike Suver) to work mostly within the footprint of what was there, but they were charged with creating something completely different that tightly knit to the site. So, they looked to classic Pacific Northwest style and another iconic landscape more than 4,000 miles away. “The clients spent a lot of time in Great Britain, and they love the Cotswolds,” Pfeiffer notes. “We were asked to incorporate that region’s aesthetic into the new house.”

It’s possible that few have considered the similarities between Bainbridge Island and the quaint, archetypal English villages that make up the Cotswolds, a sprawling, five-county area northwest of London. But both places have rolling green hills, an emphasis on agriculture, and that hardto-define enchantment that makes environs feel eternal—as if a place has always existed and always will. When considered that way, marrying the styles seemed not only possible but desirable. The exterior, clad in stone and wood, recalls the English countryside without mimicking it. “Like many homes in the Cotswolds, the form is traditional, and we bookended the wood-sided portion of the house with masonry,” Chilcote notes. But it’s a look

filtered through a Pacific Northwest lens, so the structure is simplified and streamlined.

“To make the house transcendent and memorable, we had to have it truly resonate with the site,” Hoedemaker says. “We wanted it to look like it had sprung from the land itself.” That’s accomplished, in part, by nestling the gabled dwelling into the Douglas firs that have been growing on the property for nearly a century. The trees were carefully preserved with the help of landscape architect Anne James, who meticulously studied the green giants and other existing flora before creating a rustic, naturalistic landscape that’s so skillfully composed it seems effortless, as though Mother Nature alone were responsible. “I felt it should look like I’d never touched it,” James muses.

The melding of styles that starts on the exterior is carried inside. “The owners had very different thoughts about how they wanted it to look,” Pfeiffer says. “One of the clients had a desire for very modernist, clean, simple spaces; the other was all about a cozy, country, multimaterial experience.” To arbitrate the seemingly contradictory wishes, the designer chose tactile finishes and materials, such as hand-troweled plaster walls and rustic wood furniture, but opted for fewer pieces in bold, sculptural shapes. “We used a limited number of beautiful elements in a strong way,” he explains. “Antiques bring soul and warmth to a place and using a select few creates a new kind of minimalism.”

A muted color palette and a symphony of textures amplifies the style hybrid. “They wanted everything to be light, light, light—and that makes the pops of color we did include, as well as the shape and visual texture of things, really important,” the designer notes. Walls and many pieces of furniture are white, but the natural tones of leather and wood with the occasional note of deep, saturated green make the spaces feel rich and characterful. The texture of wood, stone and nubby textiles keep the atmosphere pleasingly tactile and visually interesting.

“Pleasing” is perhaps the best adjective to describe the new home, now in harmony with its location. When the windows are open, the smell of evergreens and salt air waft in. “Even when you are inside, you feel at one with nature,” Hoedemaker says. “There’s a sense of being comfortably held by this house.”

In the entry, a Furniture Marolles chair, antique sideboard and Margaret Gove Camfferman painting stand out against plaster walls and limestone tile floors by Exquisite Surfaces. A Roman and Williams Guild pendant and Dynamic Fenestration window complete the scene.

Until they built this dwelling in Big Sky, Montana, the owners didn’t think they could love the area more.

For a decade, the Yellowstone Club had been their winter home away from home, and they had enjoyed many happy days skiing through freshly fallen snow and nights warming by the fire in their previous residence—it seemed nothing could be better. But when a property with direct ski-run access and breathtaking views of Lone Peak became available, the chance to deepen their relationship with the familiar landscape proved too tempting.

This time, however, they imagined a “more contemporary take on traditional mountain-style architecture,” observes architect Corey Kelly, who joined forces with designer John Vancheri and general contractor Chad Bottcher and team to compose the new dwelling. Stylewise, their previous retreat also had some modern elements, “but for this one, we took everything a step further, eliminating all rustic elements and replacing them with glass and metal,” Vancheri adds.

The pared-down interiors are now defined by steel beams and broad expanses of glass that visually open rooms to the mountainside. “The last thing we wanted to do was cut off the top of Lone Peak from the interior viewpoint,” Kelly notes. “Every opportunity we had, we maximized the window heights, gaining an extra two feet wherever we could.” This more-is-more approach produced floor-to-ceiling vistas, with glass skimming the vaulted ceilings around the living area.

Abundant natural light in turn floods the fluid interior layout, especially the main floor’s great room that becomes “essentially one volume of space,” Kelly says. Instead of dividing walls, the architect varied ceiling levels to define specific areas, from the lower-slung kitchen to the lofty double-story heights of the living area. “These ceiling transitions allowed us to make different spaces either feel more intimate or more open,” the architect adds. Even liminal spaces like the stairwell, framed with glass partitions, feel buoyed with light. The staircase’s central steel stringer “allows the wood treads to almost float,” Kelly notes. “The simple metal mesh guardrails provide transparency so light can still seep through.”

Despite this sense of expansiveness, “the actual room sizes aren’t that large,” Vancheri explains. “So furniture had to be just the right

scale.” The designer anchored spaces with a few substantial, clean-lined pieces, from the living room’s modular sofas to the dining area’s elongated banquet table. Built-in elements further fuse the furniture into the architecture, such as the living room’s floating bench. Suspended from the ceiling, it is an idyllic nap spot overlooking the mountains. Light fixtures also lean into home’s structural palette of black metal and glass, like the industrial-style pole installation spanning the entire stairwell. “My design nature feels lighting is more architectural than decorative,” Vancheri adds.

As the home would be most used during ski season, Vancheri borrowed the mountains’ more wintry moods for interior finishes, refining the icy landscape to its most essential hues. He set the scene with a blanket of whites and soft grays, from pale white oak floors to plaster walls that recall fresh-fallen snow when reflected in the sunlight. “Wherever there is color, it’s black or dark greens pulled from the evergreens outside,” he describes. “The couple prefers a cleaner space— monochromatic yet warm.”

Despite the simple palette, “we added some dimension with texture,” Vancheri says. “If everything feels slick and clean, it becomes too stark and cold.” Greener shades seep through lush textiles, from the breakfast banquette’s mossy-hued leather to the primary bedroom’s tufted chartreuse headboard wall “that is the brightest color we used throughout the whole project,” the designer notes.

The same tactility continues through darker finishes, like the waxed metal hood in the kitchen and the slate-gray porcelain walls of the primary bath. Throughout, ebonized millwork offers dimension. The living room’s towering fireplace, for example, jigsaws intersecting fluted panels “that pick up the light beautifully, depending on the direction of the wood,” the designer muses. Thick reclaimed timber sourced from old industrial buildings was also used for ceiling beams and door frames. Even through the black stain, “you can still see the bolt holes and notches,” Kelly observes. “It feels unique because it has an existing patina and character.”

Such subtleties show modern minimalism need not abandon a sense of place. Instead, the home distills its surrounding landscape to the fundamental wonder of wide, endless skies and undulating mounds of snow. “When you’re sitting inside, it feels like you’re floating over the mountains,” Vancheri says. “It’s such a beautiful place to be.”
