A New Chapter

What’s more exciting than a new adventure? For me, it’s a thrill to step into the role of Editor in Chief of Luxe Interiors + Design

Let me introduce myself. I’ve dedicated my career to publishing “coffee table” books for interior designers and architects. My roles have included producer, creative director, agent and storyteller. All these years of advocacy have made me the ultimate cheerleader for a subject that has long fascinated me. I am ready to bring the same joyful, energetic and enthusiastic spirit to Luxe I’m in awe of the breadth and depth of content we produce. With more than 14 regional issues and over 90 magazines published each year, we sit at the center of the design world. Our team has their ngers on the pulse of style-minded homeowners from coastto-coast, which gives us an incredible perspective. I’m eager to share this with you as we showcase the industry’s wide range of talent.

“All these years of advocacy have made me the ultimate cheerleader for a subject that has long fascinated me.”

Anyone who loves design knows that no great residence is static, and new ideas and elements keep things relevant and stimulating. The same is true for good publications and, while Luxe will continue to publish breathtaking spaces, you can also expect a refreshed look, intriguing features and a more robust digital presence in the days to come.

I am forever grateful to Chairman Adam Sandow for entrusting me with the future of Luxe and to founding editor Pam Jaccarino for building this remarkable platform. My team and I are brewing with ideas for the future, and I hope you will join us on this adventure.

Make space for inspired comfort.

When a young family began dreaming of building a “Swedish Country Home,” their dreams ran deeper than aesthetics. He grew up in Sweden. She in Minnesota, a state known for its Scandinavian heritage. So, to them, the notion of “Swedishinspired” evoked a feeling of familiarity Of comfort. Of home.

TRANSLATING SENTIMENT INTO A BLUEPRINT

When pulling up the home’s winding drive it all appears so effortless—but it required years of collaboration to complete. The team, including Bill Costello, CCO of Streeter Custom Builder, architect Charlie Simmons, founding principal of Charlie & Co. Design Ltd., and interior designer Linda Engler, founder of Engler Studio Interior Design, as well as the family themselves, trusted each other implicitly. As part of their initial research, this core team poured over old family images to help inform architectural details.

“When you have the ability to create and sculpt environments that take advantage of light, you certainly want to do that… Marvin gives us the tools to create these wonderful spaces.”

Charlie Simmons, Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd.

AN OBSESSION WITH NATURAL LIGHT

In general, Scandinavians appreciate natural light, so light was a crucial design element for the home. The staircase, for example, sitting opposite the entryway, runs three stories with floor-toceiling windows as a backdrop, drawing guests inside.

“There are views for days. To have the light come in, it gives the connection that feeds our soul and makes us feel whole.”

Linda Engler, Engler Studio Interior Design

ROLLING HILLS. HORSE BARNS. A HAPPY FAMILY.

“One of the things that was really important for our client was to feel at one with nature,” Simmons said. From how the home was situated on the property, the landscaping that harkens back to Sweden with its hilly pastures, to the use of expansive glass all throughout the house to easily soak up the surroundings—the team never lost sight of the client’s desire to bring the outdoors in.

So, how did the family feel upon walking into the space for the first time? “They really felt like they were home,” Simmons said.

Make space for natural wonders.

In the heart of the Pacific Northwest wilderness lies Marrowstone Island, a haven of rugged beauty that captivated Rick Whitworth, a retired Navy veteran. Nestled on five acres of wooded wetlands encompassed by ocean and mountains views, Whitworth envisioned a home that would seamlessly connect with its surroundings.

“I kept coming back to this place... the mountains, trees that grow taller than homes, the abundance of water… this is where I wanted to be.”

Rick Whitworth, Homeowner

DESIGNED TO BLEND IN

Whitworth’s vision took shape with the expertise of architect Dan Shipley and builder Peter Bates of Good Home Construction. Shipley’s site-responsive design, inspired by the untamed landscape, ensured the island’s true essence was reflected.

“It’s all about this small space in the trees, almost like you’re camping out, and have that sense of just floating amongst the tree trunks.”

Dan Shipley, Shipley Architects

CUSTOMIZED FOR DRAMATIC VIEWS

The seamless connection comes to life through the team’s collaboration with Marvin for its Ultimate custom windows and doors—from the meticulously tailored floor-to-ceiling solutions to the Douglas Fir trim that echoes the surrounding forest. Every uncompromising detail perfectly accomplishes the modern architectural vision of clean lines while framing the stunning views and flooding the interior with natural light.

“The Ultimate line is great because of how customizable it is. We have windows that go essentially floor to ceiling... all the window sizes had to be perfect, and they had to be custom.”

Peter Bates, Good Home Construction

READY TO M AKE SPACE FOR YOUR OWN VISION?

At Marvin, we understand windows and doors are more than just architectural elements— they’re portals to our world both inside and out. Let’s get started creating solutions custom crafted for your unique vision.

Designers Andrew Fisher and Jeffry Weisman have partnered with Visual Comfort & Co. on a series of new lighting collections launching this summer. The dynamic collaboration introduces innovative forms and fresh interpretations of classic silhouettes. Here, Fisher and Weisman chat with Luxe about the release. fisherweisman.com; visualcomfort.com

Tell us about the collaboration. We’re unveiling three distinct collections: Sutton, Alana and Catania (above). Sutton features elegant fixtures that reinterpret Art Deco lines with a contemporary twist. Alana presents a modern take on classic bamboo motifs, and Catania showcases handwoven fiber shades that enhance its steel grid.

Describe the influences that shaped the designs. The Sutton collection draws from the fringe details of 1920s flapper dresses, while Alana is inspired by Victorianera bamboo furniture. Andrew’s bangle bracelet designs for Chic AF—conceptualized in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico—influenced Catania with their lightweight and luminous characteristics.

What makes these pieces versatile? Having curated residential interiors for decades, we understand scale and the transformative power light fixtures have in any room. With that, we focused on meticulously crafting pieces that fit naturally into a wide variety of spaces, infusing each setting with panache.

PERENNIALS WALLCOVERINGS

WRITTEN BY LARA

HALLOCK

In their first extension beyond the performance textiles that built their fame, Perennials released a debut line of wall treatments this June. After more than 25 years of supplying high-end soft goods, wallcoverings felt like a natural next step for the company. “Rugs and fabrics speak the same language as wallcoverings,” explains Amy Williams, design director at Perennials and Sutherland LLC. “They’re how you layer your home, how you make it special.” The new collection features 18 versatile designs and materials ranging from grass cloth to performance vinyl. Perennials looked to high-quality mills across the United States to produce the coverings, which come in nearly 100 distinct pattern and color combinations. Some of the motifs are inspired by best-selling fabrics of the same name, such as Arigato, with wabi-sabi lines that resemble hand-stitching, and Bebop, an organic take on polka dots. Others play with natural materials and textures, including handwoven metallics that change with the light throughout the day. perennialsfabrics.com

Whitney McGregor Based in Greenville, South Carolina, this LUXE Next In Design 99 honoree is gaining recognition for her ability to blend tradition with the unique preferences of her clients—while always honoring the home’s existing bones. Here, she shares her top design picks. Describe your style ethos: I don’t have just one aesthetic; my goal is to be a vessel for the client’s vision, to interpret and translate their own style. Go-to pattern: Stripes. Color choice: If I had to pick just one, it would be Farrow & Ball’s Clunch. Design destination: The Rock House Antiques. Every home needs: A banquette. Design rule to live by: Learn the rules so you know how to break them! @whitneymcgregor

Hannah Ozburn Noted for her vibrant use of color, intricate patterns and whimsical details, this Charlotte-based designer masterfully combines traditional with modern to create captivating and memorable spaces. Read on as the LUXE Next In Design 99 talent reveals her valuable insights. Design approach: I love to mix color and pattern. Pattern pick: Ticking stripe, which I use in place of a solid, neutral option. Favorite local design shop: Darnell & Company has the most beautiful antiques and vintage finds. No home is complete without: Wallpaper. I would wallpaper every wall and ceiling in my house if I could! Always remember: To make sure the relationship between the client and designer is a good fit. @hannahozburn

SHELF LIFE

THE SAVAGE STYLE

With its lush linen cover and gleaming foil stamping, Jonathan Savage’s debut book is the embodiment of his brand: inherently luxurious, quintessentially Southern. Out August 20 from Gibbs Smith, The Savage Style reveals the designer’s contemporary philosophy while exalting classicist principles, calling them “immutable.” If these two ideas seem to be at odds, then the seven featured projects (plus a few show house spaces) should serve as a bridge between. Across 240 pages, the Nashville designer highlights the malleability of his approach: “It’s the client’s style and taste that determines how far we push the boundaries,” he notes. His rooms are marked by tactile layers, rhythmic patterning, fashion-inspired fabrics, finetuned lighting and unexpected color— all of which combine to confidently counterbalance blue-chip art. Still, despite their collective impact, Savage’s spaces are, above all, approachable. Because in the end, as he says in his tome, “Rooms only come alive when people use them.” gibbs-smith.com

ELEANOR SCOTT DAVIS

Raleigh artist Eleanor Scott Davis gracefully melds the domestic sphere with the creative one. After stepping away from her job as a magazine editor in 2015 to embrace parenthood full time, painting became a pursuit both balanced and enhanced by her role as a mom of three. Working mostly in acrylic, sometimes incorporating charcoal or oil sticks for texture, Davis’ trifold body of work (color-blocked abstracts, landscapes and still lifes) is classic, vibrant and a designer favorite. Below, she tells Luxe more about her journey and inspirations. @eleanorscottdavis

In what ways has your journalism background influenced your creativity? Painting is all about perspective and editing—just like with writing. Something I’ve borrowed from my prior career is the tool of communication; it’s important to convey the meaning of artwork to

For Hotel Bardo’s first location and Savannah flagship, no detail was spared. The adaptive reuse of an 1889 Victorian-Romanesque mansion became the backdrop to a new destination blending the perks of a private fraternity with resort-like comforts. Combining a 149-room boutique hotel with an exclusive neighborhood clubhouse, Hotel Bardo Savannah honors the building’s antique character while mixing styles from various eras and destinations together. Highlights include upholstery with Art Moderne lines, Italian modern case goods and Art Decoinspired chandeliers. “We believe design can influence behavior,” says Huxley Hogeboom, executive vice president of design for Left Lane, the firm behind the emerging hospitality brand. Be sure to also explore the verdant gardens framing a lush courtyard punctuated by an 82-foot-long pool. staybardo.com

clients and collectors because it helps them connect with it on a deeper level.

What kick-started this artistic direction? Kids can make life topsy-turvy, so without a traditional 9-to-5, I craved something I could control, plus a creative outlet. Painting helped with the monotony of motherhood and provided that sense of escape.

How did having children impact your art? What makes my work successful is that it’s layered: colors beneath show through to the ones above. I appreciate the opportunity to step away, let things dry and return to the easel with a fresh perspective—which is a lot easier to do when you need to jump in a carpool!

What’s enchanting you at the moment? I’m loving what designers are doing with color. There’s a real energy returning to interiors, and I love the relationship art has with that.

AFTER 125 YEARS, THE GRACIE FAMILY REMAINS TRAILBLAZERS IN HAND-PAINTED WALLPAPER, ASIAN ANTIQUES AND LACQUER.

WRITTEN BY JUDITH NASATIR

Many Gracie wallpaper designs are rooted in 18th-century Chinese aesthetics, but the peonies on this handmade gold tea-leaf paper replicate a section of an antique Japanese screen painted in the Rinpa style, which dates to the 17th century.

Charles R. Gracie & Sons, launched in 1898, soon became the American decorator’s go-to source for Asian antiques and decorative arts, especially hand-painted Chinese wallpaper. Today, CEO Mike Gracie and Creative Director Jennifer Gracie continue the six-generation firm’s evolution, which has become one of the most prestigious decorative arts brands in the industry.

The Gracie family captures their ongoing romance with design and the creation of beauty in the forthcoming book, The Art of Gracie, (out in September) from which Jenn’s essay, below, is adapted. Here, she shares her personal reflection of growing up in and around the studio and taking this family firm forward.

Some of my earliest memories are of visiting our New York showroom. At that time, our New York art studio was on the twelfth floor of the D&D Building, with the showroom above. The studio was a bustling, creative place, with artists drawing design sketches, restoring antique wallpapers and screens, or inspecting each panel arriving from our China studio. I never tired of walking around the showroom, trying to learn the difference between eighteenth- and nineteenth-century porcelain, appreciating the details on a lacquer table, and losing track of time admiring the tiny brushstrokes on our wallpapers.

My brother Mike and I worked at Gracie during the summers. We kept almost every design in stock then. Mark Hampton, Mario Buatta, or Keith Irvine would visit, for example, needing twenty-five panels for a dining room. Mike and I would climb up a ladder, unclip the three on display, run to get the next twenty-two, wrap them up, and off they would go. We would then collect and hang the next three panels in the sequence. We had thousands of panels—and not a single repeat. As our lead times got faster, we began doing special orders almost exclusively. I design almost all of them these days, but many are also based on styles that have been in our repertoire since the beginning.

My father often reminded me, “We don’t make anything anybody needs.” That is still true, of course, and I never forget that this is why we must make the most exquisite designs, pay the utmost attention to quality, and make it a wonderful experience to visit Gracie. I feel incredibly fortunate to make beautiful things for people who appreciate them. I feel luckier still that Mike and I run the business together, and that six years ago were joined by my son, Zach. My great-great-grandfather would be delighted, I imagine, that we are carrying on what he started in 1898. And I wish that all former Gracie generations could see what we are up to today. graciestudio.com, rizzoliusa.com

There’s an age-old adage that Rowland+Broughton Founding Principal John Rowland holds true: Everyone moves to Aspen for the skiing but stays for the summer. It’s during this seductive season when outdoor living is at its peak that captures the hearts of residents. The clients of this home very much inhabit that active Colorado lifestyle, and a place of wellness topped their wish list. As such, the firm crafted a decked-out fitness room, which doubles as a Bikram yoga studio, that opens to the stunning grounds. The structure sits adjacent to a 65-foot lap pool and covered seating area where the family can recharge while taking in the unobstructed mountain views. rowlandbroughton.com

LAND MORPHOLOGY

SEATTLE, WA

This alluring garden structure was born from a utilitarian requirement—a bioretention area. Founding Principal and CEO Richard Hartlage, and his Land Morphology team, used this to their advantage, transforming the space into an enticing summer spot by erecting a bridge and pergola overtop. Although Seattle is known for rain, its temperate summers are the stuff of legend, and the genesis for this garden destination. “It’s an intimate space for cocktails,” says Hartlage. “I love a dash of red in a garden because red and green are complementary colors.” Varying verdant hues are plentiful thanks to (mostly) native plantings. landmorphology.com

In 2004, a small shop dedicated to the craft of creating exceptional hardwood floors opened in East Nashville. With a goal to build both a world-class inventory of outstanding materials and strong client relationships based on trust, Textures Nashville thrived and grew. As they celebrate their 20th year of success, Founder Andrew Denny and his awardwinning team continue building on that initial mission. “Two decades ago, we discovered a hole in the market and began focusing on a very specific niche, creating one-of-a-kind solutions for our clients,” Denny says. “With the motto ‘Flooring is Fashion’ as our guide, we create artisanmade, small-batch products that allow for complete customization. That simple, yet powerful approach is the key to achieving the perfect flooring solutions, while creating an enduring legacy in our clients’ homes and environments.” The unique and indelible identity they’ve established is not only beloved by their loyal clientele but brings a lot of joy to the Textures Nashville team. Denny adds, “Being both highly creative and highly collaborative has been integral to our evolution and success, and has inspired our new motto, ‘Where Craftsmanship and Creativity Converge.’”

Dining Table in Persimmon

LANGUID LOUNGER

With the Great Smoky Mountains painting a postcard-worthy backdrop, Sutherland’s new Wabi Sabi Great Lounge Chair basks in the natural beauty surrounding High Hampton Inn, a quintessential storybook resort nestled in Cashiers, North Carolina. The chair—made of solid teak and topped with cushions in a Perennials’ Kikko fabric—boasts a deep and comfortable seat that’s framed by sleek arms and legs. The design’s delicate balance embodies the Japanese design ethos

FLUID FORM

For 50 years, Thos. Moser has been handcrafting North American-hardwood furniture in Maine. Their Pasadena Rocker, shown here in cherry, looks as if it were made for the porch of High Hampton’s rustic Log Cabin, one of the property’s many private cabins dating back to the early 20th century. The chair’s sleek silhouette stands out from its traditional predecessors, with dramatically svelte legs and a back that takes its shape from a single block of wood. A Cross Stitch Linen Pillow Cover from Toast adds a folklike touch apropos for the setting. thosmoser.com, us.toa.st

IN SANTA BARBARA, A HISTORIC PROPERTY IS REIMAGINED AS AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR HAVEN FOR HEALTHY LIVING—AND HOSTING A CROWD.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT AND SARAH SHELTON

Sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean enticed one Los Angeles-based family to purchase this 1930s cottage in Santa Barbara, but it wasn’t long before the fairytale setting prompted them to recast their would-be vacation home as a primary residence. In reimagining the period dwelling for everyday life, the owners sought a timeless California aesthetic, modern amenities to support their healthy lifestyle, and, most importantly, “to preserve the feeling of being on v acation,” shares interior designer Jennifer Miller. In collaboration with Two Trees Architects and Leonard Unander Associates, Inc., Miller responded with a charming ramble of indoor-outdoor spaces that accommodate family time and entertaining at scale alike. As we celebrate the height of beach season, Luxe takes the grand tour.

Portola Paints’ creamy Patagonia white blankets the walls of this Santa Barbara pool cabana. Home to a secondary kitchen space designed for entertaining, the Shaker-style cabinetry conceals a refrigerator and pantry. Blackened metal details, including a Waterstone Faucets tap, Lorfords sconce and Coastal Bronze hardware, embellish the interiors by Jennifer Miller.

photo: michael clifford.

This kitchen is so beautiful! Tell us about the design. Cooking is what brings this family together, so while we wanted the space to feel refined, we didn’t want anything to be precious. The counters are a honed quartzite, which will stand the test of time both in terms of style and durability. All of the hardware has living finishes that will continue to patina with age; nothing is too perfect or shiny. Because of how the room was oriented, it offers a more intimate environment that encourages culinary creativity.

You added a secondary kitchen in the pool cabana (previous page). Why two kitchens? The primary kitchen is their private family space, whereas the new cabana was designed as a place for visiting friends and family. These clients are great connectors; they entertain often by their pool, and with the beach across the street, guests needed a space to gather, step out of the sun, and grab a drink or snack. The secondary kitchen contains a hidden refrigerator, pantry, dishwasher and wine fridge. It even has a home-brewed Kombucha on tap!

How fun to have an entertaining destination. What else makes this property special? These clients are health-oriented, so we built a gym structure with a spa-like bathroom featuring an infrared sauna and walk-in shower that opens to a private garden. Having these destination outbuildings emphasizes the feeling of being on vacation. The clients love having to “travel” when hosting or working out. There’s a sense of detaching a bit from everyday life that’s pretty magical. jennifermillerstudio.com

Timeless materials distinguish the primary kitchen, where a Lacanche range accentuated by Moroccan tiles from Zellij Gallery makes a quietly luxurious statement. Brushed bronze knobs and pulls from Rocky Mountain Hardware garnish white-washed oak cabinets that conceal a Sub-Zero refrigerator.

photos: michael clifford.

The pool deck (top) is built for alfresco living with its RH sofa and Hollywood at Home chaises unified by custom cerulean cushions.

A Paul Paper wallcovering depicting the Mediterranean Sea wraps the cabana bath (above and right), which is joined by tiles from Country Floors in the shower. A bronze Jaclo tap and RH sconce dress up the sink area.

photos: michael clifford.

The newly constructed gym building is a wellness retreat unto itself, replete with an indoor-outdoor shower lined in Taj Mahal quartz and a Sun Valley Bronze shower head. The same stone composes the floating vanity, backed by walls of Santa Barbara sandstone, an homage to the local vernacular.

INFLUENTIAL WOMEN OF DESIGN

WHERE LEADERSHIP, PERSPECTIVE + INGENUITY ABOUND

From inspiring their clients and colleagues with signature aesthetic leanings to guiding their teams in managing deadlines and smooth installations, the women of design are undeniably influential. Of course, their seemingly endless font of talent plays a role too.

TURN

PROS.

Katie Kirby Interiors

Allard + Roberts Interior Design

Sometimes, good things can come from life’s greatest challenges. One could say this was the case for Talli Roberts-Early, who discovered her passion for interior design while being treated for Leukemia from the age of six. “I spent long hours in the hospital, and it instilled in me an understanding of how our spaces influence mood and quality of life,” she shares. “It also gave me time to create—I wrote poems and songs and learned to draw and paint.” Today, creativity is still her outlet, as she and her team at Allard + Roberts Interior Design craft meaningful interior environments where their clients can make memories. “This is an honor we take seriously, and our goal is always to make design, selection and renovation a fulfilling process.” With a boutique approach to communication and a robust rolodex of vendor and artisan contacts, they do just that.

Social Star Eyes

Roberts-Early enthuses about some of her favorite digital darlings.

• @verellenfurniture: We love their pieces and are often inspired by the showroom at High Point.

• @b rickerandbeam: One of our custom furniture makers, they are always crafting exciting new designs.

• @loloirugs: With all their designer relationships and constant new collections, they are killing it! We are big fans.

Close collaboration among talents at the top of their game fosters a winning residence within a North Carolina golf club.

HITTING IT OFF

PHOTOGRAPHY

Proximity is everything when it comes to nurturing a person’s passions. By that measure, choosing to live alongside a prominent North Carolina golf course was an easy decision for an avid golfer and his wife to make. Known for its picturesque landscape of lush fairways surrounded by tall Southern pines, the popular golf club felt like the perfect community to call home.

So committed was the couple to living in this desirable enclave that they were willing to make a few concessions on real estate. Considering few buildable lots remained, finding property with accessible views of the course proved challenging. But the pair saw promise in a set of adjacent courseside lots that unfortunately sloped down into a hole.

To surmount the property’s limitations and achieve a residence with winning panoramas, the couple turned with confidence to an architect duo they’d worked with before: Ken Pursley and Craig Dixon. Recognizing how a conventional house plan would obscure the prized vistas, the architects trusted a timeless device: the piano nobile (or “noble floor” in Italian).

In this tradition, the building is accessed via the street level, with key spaces situated one story above. For this abode, the living room, kitchen and primary suite all sit at that central floor, perched high enough to capture the golf course scenery.

Stylistically, the house evolved to be just as distinctive as the layout. Pursley likens the aesthetic to “medieval modern,” emphasized by the atypical, meandering floor plan. Guests approaching the home are greeted by an austere façade, constructed of buff-colored limestone salvaged from an old bourbon distillery, intended to downplay the impressive experience that awaits within. A stately, oak-paneled oval foyer receives visitors, who have the option of ascending one of two staircases on opposite sides. Both lead to the big reveal: a great room bordered by floor-toceiling steel-and-glass windows that look directly onto the green. “We thought about that route like a good hike through the woods,” Pursley explains. “You enter, you wind down a path, but you end up with this incredible view.”

To compose interiors as rich as the surroundings, the homeowners brought on a longtime collaborator, designer David Smith. “I

want people to walk into a room and be surprised by the setup and the different pieces,” shares Smith, who created public spaces suitable for both lively gatherings and quiet evenings alone. Distinct seating groups mix understated furnishings with conversation starters (a chair cushioned with upholstered rolls; a set of stools supported by hooflike legs). Steps away, he transformed an adjacent sunken area into a window-clad dining space, affording the family meals with enchanting vistas before the verdant landscape.

Luxury details continue into the primary bedroom, another area where Smith and the architects harmonized. Collaboratively, they produced its dramatically curved, soaring ceiling surfaced in velvety blue-gray plaster. The room is the ultimate refuge when the owners want to tuck away from the world. But for moments when they prefer to be spectators, there is the home’s pièce de résistance: an elevated glass viewing pavilion precisely positioned to overlook the tee box. Making this architectural triumph possible was builder Cliff Newbury, whose team elegantly combined the abode’s intricate masonry with structural steel.

While an ideal vantage point for taking in games on the green, this roost is also perfect for keeping an eye on activity around the pool beneath, where Newbury’s efforts extended to the hardscaping elements. And although maximizing views was a priority for the upper levels, maintaining privacy was a driving force of the spaces below.

Here, the family’s leisure and entertainment areas spill outward into gardens meticulously designed by landscape architect John Howard. To shield the pool and outdoor spaces from passersby, he fashioned a protective barrier using clipped holly hedges and a low limestone retaining wall echoing the structure’s exterior. Flagstone patios provide spots for dining and lounging, while the manicured surroundings boast an array of native plants: among them oakleaf hydrangea, Solomon’s Seal and Virginia sweetspire.

Gracefully positioned alongside the lush fairways of the course, the home stands as a testament to visionary design, natural splendor and seamless collaboration. “In many ways, this is a house we had been working toward our entire careers,” Dixon says. “What you see is a culmination of our experience and the desire to do something different—achieving the remarkable in the process.”

White oak and wormy chestnut paneling, fabricated by The Ullman Group, envelops the foyer. The Charles Marksberry artwork is from Charles Harold Company. Troscan bronze hall tables, Baker Swag lanterns and a leather-upholstered bench from Custom Interiors round out the space.

Hickory Chair’s Willow sofas delineate the living room into two distinct areas, each lit by a Ron Dier Design Halo Selenite chandelier and anchored by a Moattar rug. A custom chandelier from Ainsworth-Noah suspends over the dining area.

Common Ground

In South Carolina, a fresh addition to an antique beach cottage bridges the best of the past with a lively present.

WRITTEN BY KELLY VENCILL SANCHEZ PHOTOGRAPHY BY LESLEY UNRUH STYLING BY FRANCES BAILEY

Sullivan’s Island is the kind of shoes-optional, easygoing place where locals put their all into decorating golf carts for the annual Fourth of July parade. Beguiled by the town’s languid Lowcountry charms and blissfully sleepy off-season, one New England couple dreamed of owning a home on this beloved barrier island, located just beyond Charleston Harbor.

They found what they were looking for in a 1910 beach cottage across the street from the ocean, undeterred by its varied updates over the decades. Postponing plans for a full-scale renovation, the couple asked designer Kevin Isbell, who had also completed their Connecticut residence, to make it fun and livable in the interim. After a few years, however, the clients felt it was time not only to expand the property, but to turn it into a hospitable retreat for weekends, vacations and retirement years to come. On their wish list? A surplus of living spaces—both indoors and out— a spacious kitchen, rooms positioned to soak up the views, and a resort-style pool.

Saving and incorporating the original cottage was key. Thankfully, architect Beau Clowney is well versed in the town’s rich vernacular history. He and fellow architect Kate Campbell closely studied the dwelling, which had been saddled with a hodgepodge of additions over the years, then set course to strip away any changes that had not held true to turn-of-the-century intentions. “There’s a serious effort on Sullivan’s Island to preserve these houses and monitor the ways they’re amended,” Clowney notes. “We proposed that we’d take the home’s historic section and place it on the public-facing portion of the property where people could still appreciate and enjoy it, but site the addition near the ocean, where it’s less visible to passersby.”

Builder Greg St. Pierre and team oversaw the multiphase construction project with reverence and finesse. “They’re knowledgeable about working on historic structures, and we had the utmost confidence that they were perfect for this renovation,” Campbell shares. “They know how to work with old houses and framing, modernizing both so that everything is seamless.”

Everyone worked together to marry old and new—creating a sense of progression through

time in the process. This architectural timetravel effect is achieved through varied ceiling heights, window styles that complement the originals, and new spaces that appear as former porches gradually enclosed over the decades. A series of pass-through spaces Campbell calls “hyphens” connect the 1910 building to a new central kitchen wing that embraces the pool before linking to a great room and primary suite that look seaward.

Materials were essential to ensure smooth transitions; for example, the painted floor in the gallery running between the family and game rooms. “We couldn’t have 100-year-old heart pine meeting new wide-plank light oak,” Isbell explains. Throughout the abode, the designer continued to apply subtle details that put an elegant spin on beach house tropes. The great room walls are lined with cork that resembles coquina stone; the dining porch showcases a cluster of woven pendants reminiscent of Charleston’s iconic sweetgrass baskets.

With a swing of the screened door, visitors descend to the pool courtyard below, where now-retired landscape architect Sheila Wertimer worked with Madison Rice—a landscape architect who has since moved on to another firm—to tame the surrounding grounds, mitigate complex drainage issues and install hardscaping that directly converses with the architectural palette. Native sabal palms provide structure, while olive trees and pineapple guava add texture among various ferns, ornamental grasses and a neatly trimmed Zoysia lawn. Shares the husband: “It makes us happy to see the house full and everyone playing games throughout the difference spaces and the pool. It’s exactly what we had envisioned.”

A similar joie de vivre was deployed by Isbell, whose judicious jolts of color establish memorable design moments. Case in point: The grass clothclad family room, enrobed in deep indigo, was intended as a visual reprieve after hot days in the sand and surf. “I like a beach house with a more saturated room because sometimes, you just want to get out of the sun,” the designer notes. Still, the vibrant peacock-blue paint of the bar room proved to be a leap of faith for his clients.

“With every project I do, I reserve one ‘trust me’ card to use,” he continues. And for this vacation home, as with many others, “It’s one of the moments people remember most.”

Emphasizing texture over color, designer Kevin Isbell set the tone in the entry with a twisted rattan table by Century Furniture atop a woven wool-and-jute rug from Studio Four NYC. Overhead is a Wisteria pendant by Palecek. Farrow & Ball’s Stiffkey Blue brightens the front door.

A wallcovering by Elizabeth Dow envelops the great room, where a Katy Mixon artwork hangs above the custom Gina Berschneider, Inc. sofa wearing Lisa Fine Textiles’ Rajkot linen. The wicker chair from Chairish sits opposite a Quintus armchair in Kravet’s Tulum fabric.

Threading the Past

Innovative, silk-based paintings provide the platform for a Charlotte-area artist to explore themes of heritage, displacement and identity.

WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY RUSTY WILLIAMS

There’s a certain magic unfolding in artist Kenny Nguyen’s North Carolina studio, ensconced in a 94-year-old former textile mill in Concord— a small town about 25 miles from Charlotte. Morning sun streams through its tall steel windows, illuminating exposed-brick walls and paint-splattered floors. The building’s former purpose is fitting for Nguyen’s creative output: vast, colorful paintings that employ silk as their basis.

Following a childhood spent along the fertile plains of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, Nguyen moved to the country’s bustling Ho Chi Minh City to study fashion, ultimately immigrating to the United States as a young adult. In Charlotte, he studied fine art at the University of North Carolina, graduating in 2015.

“Coming to a new country made me look back at what I remembered most about Vietnam,” Nguyen recalls. His chosen medium—long associated with wealth and status—has been produced in the

nation’s famed “silk villages” for millennia. Considering its ubiquity in the East, “I realized if I hadn’t moved, I wouldn’t see silk for the cultural symbolism I do now,” adds Nguyen, who recognized an opportunity to explore themes of heritage and identity. Many Vietnamese artists paint on this precious textile, but Nguyen wanted to push the practice even further.

Though they resemble tapestries at first glance, the artist’s complex, textural artworks defy categorization. “I call them ‘deconstructed paintings,’ ” Nguyen says. He begins by cutting colorless, transparent swaths of raw silk into strips before dipping them into marbleized pools of acrylic paint. Working on the floor of his studio, he reassembles the still-wet ribbons into weave-like patterns, letting the paint’s glue-like nature bind the strands together. It’s a meticulous process, and large works, which can reach 40 feet in length, often take up to a month to complete.

Once they are dry, Nguyen mounts the creations to his studio walls and begins pinning them—much in the way he once draped dress forms in fashion school. This process transforms

the work into a sculpture of sorts; its fluid volume undulating like river currents or monsoon breezes. In other instances, he leaves the piece hanging flat, although the final configuration is often spontaneous, sometimes decided on-site. “I like to give collectors and interior designers a voice in the hanging process,” the artist shares. “Do they want something calming or something more sculptural? It becomes a collaboration.”

The artist is currently immersed in his “Eruption” series, with several of those works set to be featured in his upcoming September show at Charlotte’s Mint Museum Uptown. “They’re my most complex pieces to date,” Nguyen says of the new compositions—some of which feature color-blocked components or multiple layers that overlap, creating greater dimensionality. “They’re an invitation for the viewer to look more closely,” he continues. These pieces contain multitudes, much like the artist himself. “I call them paintings because I use a lot of painting techniques, but my works are really hybrids—like me. I am Vietnamese, but I am also American.”

Kenny Nguyen can often be found working directly on the floor of his Concord, North Carolina, studio, dipping delicate silk strips into hand-poured pools of acrylic paint (opposite,

He then reassembles the paint-soaked ribbons into woven arrangements atop canvas (left and opposite, right). Once the works have dried, Nguyen mounts them to his studio walls, pinning and shaping them into sculptural volumes (bottom).

Come Together

Empowering their design team to celebrate disparate tastes, a Nashville couple finds harmony amid a neoclassical backdrop.

WRITTEN BY MINDY PANTIEL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALLISON ELEFANTE

Architecture: Kevin Coffey, C Kevin Coffey Dwellings | Design Interior Design: Lauren Bennett Moore, Modern Remains

Hand-antiqued marble flooring acts as a traditional foil for the foyer’s sleeker elements, including a Good Wood Nashville bench and Julie Neill’s Lorino lanterns for Visual Comfort & Co. The wall sculpture, Entrapped Fish, is an environmental statement piece by Yorgos Kypris.

What happens when an anti-minimalist devotee of Dorothy Draper—the midcentury doyenne known for her exuberant use of color—marries a proponent of clean lines and monochromatic palettes? For one Nashville couple, the solution was to double down on their respective aesthetics within a design discipline that would bridge the gap between the two. “My style could not be more opposite from my husband’s,” reveals the wife, a global content strategist. Had she been left to her own devices, she confesses, her love of all things bright and cheery might have run the show.

Fortunately, interior designer Lauren Bennett Moore knew how to incorporate the neutral counterpoints and nature-inspired flourishes beloved by the husband, a financial advisor who collects fossils and fine art.

Moore’s clients were aligned in one pivotal aspect: achieving a home that would harmonize modern architecture with their verdant surroundings—while also accommodating the lifestyle needs of a growing family with two daughters. They turned to residential designer Kevin Coffey to lay the groundwork. “We felt a neoclassical approach would allow us to combine their desire for simple, transitional exteriors with a modern, mostly open floor plan,” explains Coffey, who accented the whitebrick façade with a pedimented porch and central focal feature distinguished by pilasters and limestone details.

Indoors, formal elements such as an articulated ceiling in the great room and sculptural millwork in the dining room acknowledge the traditional architecture. But these features soon give way to a more casual kitchen where frameless cabinetry fully embraces modernity. “We always knew we were going to create a hybrid house with an open, contemporary feel—though with traditional bits and pieces that yield comfort,” the residential designer explains. Responding to his clients’ request for a strong indoor-outdoor connection, Coffey’s thoughtfully placed fenestration perfectly frames the surrounding trees, while a linear sight line established at the front door leads directly to the pool. “The way it opens up at the back is great for parties and everyday living,” the husband notes. “What Kevin has designed is a classical house that lives for today.”

Moore and her team followed suit with foyer flooring of hand-antiqued marble and bluestone— materials that link the classical architecture with the more contemporary interiors. “It’s a bit different than the polished marble you’d expect in a classic checkerboard pattern,” the designer notes. “I call this version ‘neoclassical with a twist.’ ”

Throughout the project, Moore consistently strived to marry the couple’s distinct tastes while creating pathways for personal expression. Her contributions to the dining room include a whimsical wallpaper depicting cranes in flight. “It’s like having birds flying all around you,” she shares, noting how the transitional moment also nods to the husband’s love of nature. Overhead, a more modern trio of Sputnik-inspired chandeliers reflects the wife’s sparkling personality.

The whole mood shifts on the home’s second floor—dedicated to sleeping spaces but also areas of fun and discovery for the girls. Both daughters had a hand in designing their own bedrooms; after Moore sent colors and fabrics for them to consider, she was delighted to learn that both were drawn to a more classic style. In the eldest daughter’s suite, a velvet-upholstered bed embraces sophistication. Meanwhile, the younger daughter enjoys handblocked wallpaper and a charming, canopied stage reminiscent of a proscenium arch.

Color ratchets up another notch in the central play space, where linen draperies with bright pink trim and a sectional wearing performancegrade royal blue velvet wink at Hollywood Regency style before leading the way to a bold bunk room enrobed in clover green.

Keeping the girls in mind, Moore also furnished the pool house and patio with plentiful feminine touches. Here, again, “We used color and pattern to satisfy the wife’s love of Dorothy Draper,” Moore adds. Hints of vintage flair abound—from the wicker pedestals and palm leaf-inspired chandelier in the pool house to cabana-striped umbrellas with winsome rickrack tassel trim— bringing bygone resort vibes to lingering summer days with family and friends.

“This project was about creating spaces that reflect who our clients are together, even when their preferences seemed to be at odds,” explains Moore, adding that striking the right balance was part of the fun. “Individually, the husband gained a lounge space that’s all about gray, while the wife revels in a powder room bedecked with Christian Lacroix butterflies.” What makes this home so special is witnessing these distinctive spaces—and clients—united under one roof.
