Woodside’s historic buildings inspire the look and feel of a home the architect describes as an “agrarian compound.”

Built on the site of their forebears’ Palo Alto abode, this welcoming dwelling offers a fresh start for the next generation.

Oakland potter Erin Hupp seeks to create pieces that live at the point where utility and fine art meet.

A design team takes an Atherton ranch house from modest to sophisticated with lofty, new proportions.

ON THE COVER: Architect Timothy C. Chappelle’s goal for this Woodside residence was to create a structure that references the region’s industrial and farm buildings.

He achieved the desired effect with a stacked-stone façade and multiple forms connected by glass corridors. Landscape architect John Merten enhanced the home’s timeless nature with a layered plant palette. Page 168

LETTER

What Sustains Us

For this issue on The Power of Architecture, I’ve been reflecting on its purpose and meaning. Aside from shelter, security and function, architecture serves as a spatial arrangement that forges communities and speaks to the culture of a place.

At best, the spaces that surround us enrich the quality of interactions we have within them. It’s the reason we feel peaceful while sitting by a poolside loggia or happiness when ascending a stairwell with a view of nature. Our homes, and the buildings we encounter in our daily lives, also reveal much about how we see ourselves.

The potency of architecture lies in its ability to innovate through materiality and design, to push us to think differently about our environment, and, most importantly, to lift the human spirit.

The most innovative dishwasher ever.

From the world’s premier sustainable appliance brand.

With CornerIntense®, the industry’s first rectangular-motion spray arm, Beko’s 36, 38 and 39 model dishwashers clean dishes like never before. But they also use half the water and two-thirds the energy. It’s the most significant breakthrough in dishwasher technology in nearly 100 years.

Along with this revolutionary approach, Beko’s new line includes custom panel options with fully flush installation and industry-standard dimensions. It also boasts a suite of impressive features. beko.com/us-en bekoappliancesusa beko_usa bekoappliancesusa

• The EverClean™ filter automatically rinses with pressurized water to remove food residue and debris, keeping it cleaner up to four times longer.

• DeepWash™ technology uses three water-adjustable jets to make sure tall bottles or jars with narrow openings get the extra powerful clean they need, too.

• Next up, SelfDry™ unseals and opens the door on its own, letting air in to dry dishes naturally without the use of additional energy.

Oh, and did we mention? These dishwashers are so quiet (the 39 model’s operating sound level is 39dBa), you’ll need the red light that shines on the floor to know they’re running.

They’re the planet’s new best friend—and yours too.

Bring your Beko home, starting in late May 2022.

Cleaner dishes.

Cleaner planet.

Cleaner conscience.

Beko’s mission is simple, yet impressive.

It aims to redefine what is possible in terms of performance, reduce the use of natural resources and price within the reach of everyone who wants to lead a healthy and eco-friendly life. It seems a tall order, but Beko has done it time and again, and its latest endeavor champions the trio of intentions.

Rising to the challenge of the dirtiest dishes, glassware, pots and pans, Beko dishwashers conquer it all for more peace of mind.

THE INSIDERS HOMMEBOYS

Before they met, Austin Carrier and Alex Mutter-Rottmayer led somewhat parallel lives. Both grew up surrounded by creative expression with parents and other family members immersed in the design world, from Carrier’s restaurateur mother who designed her own interiors to Mutter-Rottmayer’s artist father who owned a design-build firm. Today, the Sonoma-based “crazy in love” design duo—known as the Hommeboys—are giving wine country a refresh with their sophisticated, but never stodgy, sense of style. hommeboys.com Describe your aesthetic. Austin Carrier: We want to bring a more contemporary spin on California cool while still nodding to wine country’s traditions.

Alex Mutter-Rottmayer: We give a native, warm tone to everything. We also like to do a twist here and there— some pop and rock. Austin grew up in Memphis, so we try to mix it up a little bit from the norm.

How do you work together on projects?

AC: We’re just one big brain. Our best work is when we present a half-formed idea to the other person. We get excited and go back and forth and ask, “What if we add this detail?”

You’ve just launched your first furniture collection, Haus of Hommeboys. Tell us about it.

AMR: For one of our projects, we wanted a special desk and couldn’t find anything that was working. We said, “Screw it, we’ll design it.”

We were doing all the plaster work on the house, and then we thought, “Why don’t we do it with plaster?”

AC: It got us excited, so we created two other pieces—a credenza and a side table. We’ll expand on that and in a few months launch another collection, which is a nod to handhewn furniture. It’s got that old-world notching technique that you see a lot in African art.

SHELF LIFE The world of design books is getting a little more cinematic with the release of designer Ken Fulk’s second tome, The Movie In My Mind, on May 18.

Beyond focusing on creating chic interiors, when Fulk takes on a project, he sets out to create a visual experience, focusing on the story behind the space. His latest book, published by Assouline, gives readers a behind the scenes look at this distinctive process—what he refers to as the “movie in my mind.” From a Napa Valley farmhouse designed with the region’s rural roots at the forefront to a grand Manhattan clubhouse complete with prewar moldings and luminescent marble floors, Fulk takes readers through some of his most stunning projects, from start to maximalist finish. assouline.com

POST MASTER

DESIGN

WHO: Berkeley-based floral designer Anna Seva, who grew up in the wilderness of Finland. Her Scandinavian roots and background in sculpture influence her strong, simplified aesthetic.

SCENE

@SEVADESIGN

WHAT: Contemporary floral designs with clean lines and negative space that allows each blossom and leaf to shine.

“CARLOS VILLA: WORLDS IN COLLISION” As a student at the San Francisco Art Institute, Carlos Villa asked one of his professors about Filipino art history and was told there was no such thing. A trip to the library appeared to confirm his professor’s claim.

So, Villa, a San Francisco-born Filipino American, began independently researching Pacific tribal art. Though he got his start creating minimalist sculptures, he felt pulled toward his own culture’s traditions and radically pivoted his artistic approach to better reflect his own experiences as well as non-Western perspectives.

His body of work includes feathered assemblages that evoke both shamanic capes and Catholic vestments, as well as facial prints and sculptures of his own body.

“Carlos Villa: Worlds in Collision,” the first major museum retrospective of the artist’s work, will be presented jointly by the Asian Art Museum, starting June 17, and the San Francisco Art Institute, beginning September 21. The exhibition will also highlight Villa’s efforts to shape a more inclusive art world and broaden its history to include women and creators from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. asianart.org, sfai.edu

WHY: For a dose of floral beauty and a look at artistry born of sustainable methods. Seva—who says she believes our “sanity and wholeness depend on our connection to the wilderness within and without”—is mindful of her carbon footprint. She doesn’t use floral foam and often forages from the local landscape.

Seeking beauty in unexpected places, she’s happy to put “weeds” on a wedding table.

IN HER WORDS: “Floral design is having such a moment right now, but I feel like we’re still only in the beginning of discovering its full range and promise as a complete artistic medium of its own.”

TRANSFORMATION BEACON GRAND

San Francisco’s storied Sir Francis Drake Hotel has gotten a top-to-bottom revamp, reopening as the Beacon Grand. The renovation, spearheaded by Kraig Kalashian of design and architecture studio KKAD, honors the Renaissance Revival building’s grandeur and original craftsmanship while introducing modern amenities. In the Beacon’s lobby, the firm elected to retain the original marble flooring and grand chandeliers but removed draperies to bring light and airiness into the 1928 building. The design of guest rooms and suites nods to the hotel’s architecture while offering a contemporary sensibility rife with custom touches—upon a closer look, the damask wallpaper reveals images of San Francisco icons, like cable cars and the Golden Gate Bridge, integrated into the pattern. beacongrand.com

INSPIRING DESIGN “EDITH HEATH: A LIFE IN CLAY”

SCENE

DESIGN

In the 1940s, trailblazing artist and entrepreneur Edith Health upended ceramics with her simple, elegant dinnerware, helping define the California aesthetic. As the creative force behind the iconic brand Heath Ceramics, she became one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. Heath products continue to be handmade in Sausalito, as they have been since 1948, and the ceramics pioneer is now being celebrated at “Edith Heath: A Life in Clay,” on view at Oakland Museum of California through October 30. Curator Jennifer Volland sat down with Luxe to share her thoughts on the artist’s legacy. museumca.org What made Edith Heath a rebel in the ceramics world? She rebelled against white clay and formality in dinnerware. We start the exhibition with three pieces of Edith’s family’s Haviland china, which is more traditional, and then three similar pieces of Heathware. It shows the differences between what Edith was working toward and what was customary. She used California clays with more roughness and informality, which better suited the postwar American lifestyle.

Why is “Edith Heath: A Life in Clay” a must-see exhibit? It is not a traditional ceramics exhibition. We combine historic objects, photographs, documentary video, personal memorabilia and Edith’s early production pottery to illustrate Heath’s story.

ONES TO WATCH

GAWAIN WEAVER ART CONSERVATION Imagine inheriting a print by renowned landscape photographer Carleton Watkins. But perhaps over time the wooden framing discolored the mount.

It may seem damaged beyond repair, but not to Gawain Weaver Art Conservation. Working out of a studio in Lagunitas, head conservator Gawain Weaver and his team meticulously repair treasured images. “The bulk are black-and-white prints and albumen prints,” Weaver says. “California photographers like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston worked in one or the other of those processes and produced many pieces right here. So, we make them look as good as they can.” Tools of the trade range from wheat starch paste and Japanese paper for mending tears, to special solvents for stain reduction. “Paper conservator Keiko Keyes pioneered light bleaching, which is basically placing a work of art in water and putting it in the sun,” the conservator says. This process yields an oxidizing bleach that gently attacks stains and “was developed right down the street, in Woodacre,” Weaver notes, adding, “Photo conservation is this interesting combination of science and art that gives meaning to the science.” gawainweaver.com

How did Edith push the boundaries of clay? White clay was refined to the point where original elements were taken out of it. Edith had what our other curator, Drew Johnson, describes as a mystical connection to the natural landscape. She would go out into the environment—during the war, when clay pits were closed— and collect different samples. She was sort of an alchemist, experimenting with native California clays and glazes. Accordingly, her original line of dinnerware was finished in colors reminiscent of the landscape—soft blues, greens and tans. This Coupe line has been in production for close to 75 years. It’s hard to think of other products that have been around that long—Levi’s 501 jeans, Ray-Bans, the Chemex coffee maker. It’s a short list.

Luxe examines heritage design today with soulful product launches, an ode to Shingle style architecture and wellness communities making waves.

HOMEOWNERS WHO PRIORITIZE HOLISTIC HEALTH IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE LOOKING TO THE SOUTH—WHERE WELLNESS COMMUNITIES AND AGRIHOODS ARE RISING FAST. W R I T T E N B Y K AT H R Y N O ’ S H E A- E VA N S

It’s not often that a kid’s birthday party will change your life. But for Monica Olsen, who hosted her son’s fourth fête at Serenbe, a wellness community 32 miles from her then-home in Atlanta, it was a transformative experience. “We had a pony party at the gorgeous stables which were designed by architect Peter Block and it was this magical day,” she recalls.

“We thought, ‘Maybe we should just stop at the real estate office while we’re here…’

They pointed out a house, we bought it and basically never left!”

LUXESOURCE.COM

Founded in 2005, Serenbe is tailormade to help residents live their best lives.

It’s outfitted with a new 3,000-squarefoot spa, yoga studio, swim club, artist in residence program, lush hiking trails and many more wellness-geared elements that make it idyllic to say the least. And, it’s gaining traction: The community had around 100 residents when Olsen purchased her home in 2009, and boasts 1,000 today. All properties there—including townhouses, cottages and estates, most of which look more like

they’re in Scandinavia than Georgia— are EarthCraft certified. (Translation: they’re energy and water efficient, saving 30 percent of the energy costs of a typical home.)

And Serenbe is not the only Southern community that epitomizes the notion that health is wealth. “Agrihood”—planned developments that mingle sustainablybuilt real estate and farm-to-your-owntable amenities—is booming.

Only 20 miles from Charleston is the new Kiawah River, where half of the 2,000-acre waterfront community will remain entirely wild and untouched.

Protecting the natural world here is vitally important to this agrihood, which includes The Goatery—a farm dedicated

to artisanal goat milk products—beehives and pasture-raised cattle as well as myriad farms for produce. Residents can also enjoy maritime forest trails where everything from bald eagle pairings to migrating monarch butterflies are frequently spotted. “We love the community and people,” Kiawah River homeowner Megan Hendricks says. “But most of all, we love the wildlife we get to see every day while walking on the paths by the river.”

ARCHITECT THOMAS KLIGERMAN REFLECTS ON THE ENDURING APPEAL OF AN INNATELY AMERICAN VERNACULAR. A S T O L D T O G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

When I close my eyes and imagine a house, I picture the sounds it makes: footsteps on the staircase, slamming screen doors, faint voices from downstairs while falling asleep. If someone asked me where I’d choose to live out my days, I’d say a Shingle style home because they reverberate like a drum.

My connection to buildings has always been visceral.

By the time I left for college, I had lived in 10 houses— saltboxes up and down Connecticut; apartments in New York, London and Paris; an adobe in New Mexico.

My father’s work moved us often, but summers were always for sailing in Rhode Island, which is where my love for shingled homes cemented.

Shingle style architecture emerged in Newport in 1876, combining the simple forms of early Colonial buildings with the quirks of Victorian Stick style. The 1880s were fascinating years—everything was brave and new. During this time, rooms grew from small, symmetrical boxes into episodic progressions with

abstract shapes and enormous doors that opened onto terraces. These homes weren’t trying to be Italianate villas or French chateaus. Here was an American style.

I’m grouped with classical architects, but I’m a closet modernist who is always pushing to see how modern traditional homes can become—yet I never want to lose sight of what people love about them. Shingles are a medium that encourages daring design because they’re so lightweight. You can have soaring cantilevers and chimneys that look like great blades dropped from the heavens. With shingles, you can make a home look like the sail of a boat filled with air.

Have you ever sat on the porch of a shingled house in the rain? There’s this wonderful, cozy scent from the cedar that brings comfort like a favorite sweater. That’s the thing; no matter who you are, whether you live in Santa Fe or Seal Harbor, the draw of home is strong for Americans. And Shingle style buildings don’t look like houses, they look—and feel—like homes.

Touch of Whimsy

Parisian designer Vincent Darré’s fantastical collection with OKA includes the Spiral Lamp & Shade, XIV Mirror, Gemini Vase and Lyric Console Table.

LUXESOURCE.COM

As British retailer OKA expands its horizons stateside—it arrived in Dallas last November and will open in Westport, Connecticut, in September—a new collection with French designer Vincent Darré is next on the agenda.

Darré, a former fashion heavyweight, captured the imagination of Sue Jones, Co-Founder and Creative Director of OKA, with his Cocteau-esque interiors.

“Seeing Vincent’s work in the flesh excited me about the prospect of a collaboration,” recalls Jones after an early visit to Darré’s Paris atelier. “Everything he touches has a sense of drama to it.”

For the duo’s tightly edited four-piece collection, Darré channeled OKA’s aristocratic-meets-bohemian style—a look that reminds him of photographer Cecil Beaton’s work—while also referencing the Neoclassical era and romantic 18th-century gardens. The result? Furnishings that work just as well in a group as they do individually.

Included are a marble-topped console supported by ancient ruin-inspired legs, a column-like floor lamp (its spiral shade reminds Jones of a Philip Treacy hat), a black-and-white Grecian face vase and a mirror embellished with musical instruments and starfish.

The playful collaboration allowed Jones and Darré to have a little fun while still championing true craftsmanship and creative ingenuity. oka.com

Lasting Lineage Sara Hayat Design

Design is in Sara Hayat’s DNA. Since the 1870s, her family’s company M. Hayat & Bros. has produced luxury furnishings for everyone from royal households to prominent clients, including John F. Kennedy and his famous White House rocker. So, it comes as no surprise that the need to be creative eventually struck.

Setting aside a career in finance, Colorado-based Hayat set her sights on made-to-order furniture with a debut collection comprising coffee, writing and dining tables, chairs and sofas, and inventive modular seating. Each of the designer’s pieces, which have their genesis in detailed drawings, are handbuilt by her family’s longstanding artisans in Peshawar, Pakistan.

While her materials lean traditional (mahogany, marble, cane, brass inlay, leather and velvet), her forms (geometric, floral, stacked and beveled) are anything but ordinary. Hayat studied joinery and detailing techniques by researching her

LUXESOURCE.COM

family’s archival catalogues in addition to referencing some of the world’s greats— Oscar Niemeyer and Pierre Paulin for further inspiration. She also became fascinated with contemporary automobile and fashion styles, making note of what she loved and which aesthetics she responded to emotionally. “Intentional design has the ability to uplift, and I want my furniture to do just that.” And her Tetris-inspired modular sofa provides a plum example. “People should be creative in how they use it,” Hayat explains, noting that the piece can morph from a sleek living room sofa into a fantastical object for play when deconstructed. “These pieces should dazzle, anchor us in the moment and remind us of what we can be.”

As the newly minted furniture designer begins using her own pieces at home, she can’t help but reflect on what her parents instilled in her growing up. “My mother always believed that you should surround yourself with items that make you happy.”

A legacy Hayat will surely continue to uphold. sara-hayat.com

Feeling Blue

Delft by Plain English is a five-piece tile collection featuring designs inspired by antique tiles that decorate the founder’s own home.

Children Playing I (background) and Sea Creatures (inset).

LUXESOURCE.COM

Sometimes inspiration is right under one’s nose. Or in the case of Tony Niblock, co-founder of kitchen manufacturer Plain English, it was right over his Aga range, where an assortment of antique Delft tiles is proudly displayed.

Niblock first started collecting the blueand-white squares after spotting them at a historic house in Yoxford, England, in the 1990s. Now, that passion has grown beyond adorning his own home and evolved into the company’s latest offering, Delft by Plain English—a collection of handmade, hand-painted tiles inspired by his findings.

“There’s a freshness about the color combination, isn’t there?” posits co-founder Katie Fontana. “And it’s so wonderful that there’s been a renewed interest and understanding around Delft tiles.”

The tin-glazed earthenware tiles have been synonymous with the Netherlands since the 17th century when, impervious to heat or water, they became a functional— and charming—wall decoration for homes, public buildings and palaces across Europe. Plain English’s interpretation features figurative depictions of daily life, like children skipping, as well as fantastical scenes including a mermaid admiring her reflection—all in keeping with eclectic British style that is now back in vogue. “There is a naivete about them that people find appealing,” remarks Niblock. plainenglishdesign.co.uk

NEW TRENDS The industry looks to Las Vegas Market to showcase the latest and greatest, and this summer’s takeaways have one thing to say: design right now is all about organic influences. Three industry luminaries from LVMKT’s Ahead of the Curve panel share their perspectives.

EARTHY TEXTURES

We have seen a shift from glazed and glossy materials to ceramic and earthenware ones. Wood grains with apparent texture, marbles and limestone, indoor plants, stones and other organic features are adding depth and character to spaces that have been more minimalistic up until now.

Rather than museum-level polished surfaces, textured plasters that appear perfectly imperfect are proving a current favorite.

BIOPHILIC VIEWPOINTS

The use of natural ral materials, like wood, stone or raffia, and spaces that include natural geometries, like fractals and curves, can be highly evocative and satisfy the human need for connecting with our wild world. We are craving that, making biophilic design the mindset of the moment. We take a sum-of-the-parts arts approach, employing the atmosphere created with light, architecture, access to nature and furnishings ishings and accessories that evoke nature in our designs. We’ve been finding a lot of unique piecess that literally mimic nature and others that are more subtle. Whether they exhibit the golden ratio o or the Fibonacci sequence, such designs simply make us feel good and balanced.

STAYING POWER

After 16 years, designer Dana Wolter knew it was time to upgrade her Birmingham, Alabama, kitchen. She soon whipped up a pretty, elegant and detail-filled scheme, but above all else, the space needed to stand the test of time. “I like to think of this room as timeless—a kitchen that will age well and get better the more you use it,” Wolter explains.

To bring her well-aging vision to life, she opted for eternally exquisite materials like

LUXESOURCE.COM

Calacatta gold marble countertops and unlacquered brass fittings, all of which patina with use and become more beautiful.

Wolter also gave careful consideration to several special details, including delicate fluted cabinetry, a hidden marble spice rack above the range and a functional trough sink carved directly into the island. As Wolter learned first-hand, renovating your own space certainly comes with its perks. The designer tweaked and customized every element to align with how she wanted the space to function. One especially lovely area came about from moving walls around: A graceful display niche that houses silver and crystal tableware frequently used for meals.

Here, delicate curved stone motifs on the shelves echo detailing on the center island to tie the areas together.

In contrast to the light, airy kitchen, Wolter had a bit more fun in the pantry, where a moody palette and graphic marble slab surfaces add a touch of drama. “My intention with the pantry was to repeat some of the finishes and treatments in the kitchen, and to make the rooms flow,” the designer explains.

“But at the same time, I wanted the pantry to be a little bolder.” Ample storage, refrigerator drawers, and a second dishwasher allow the space to function as a workhorse and keep messes out of sight. A successful passion project, indeed! danawolterinteriors.com

Interior designer Margaret Kaywell’s client sought an office space of a different color.

He found his answer in a run-down bungalow in West Palm Beach, which Kaywell—in collaboration with MP Design & Architecture and Tim Givens Building & Remodeling—imagined as a sumptuous private clubhouse. Reworking the layout from the studs, Kaywell conceived a gracious foyer with velvet banquettes flanked by a conference-meets-dining room on one side, and a billiards room on the other.

Designer Nina Magon faced a unique brief when it came to the media room of a young Houston-based family. “The husband is a serious cards player and wanted a designated place to call his poker room. His wife said, ‘Okay fine, but you need to share it with me and your child!’” So spurred plans for a space that bridges the divide between moody man cave, elegant lounge and kid-friendly play space. “It’s a universally fun room; it works for everything,” notes Magon, pointing to the custom six seat table (the exact headcount for poker night) and adjacent TV area with its wipeable ottoman that rolls away to accommodate a playmat. But the real hero of the space is the custom cabinetry, painted Sherwin-Williams’ Seaworthy, which chicly stashes vestiges of life with a toddler, or a gamesman, as the case may be. ninamagon.com

LAST HURRAH

A family’s early 1800s farmhouse in Litchfield, Connecticut, was a ground-up project—of sorts. Over the course of six years, and led by designer Susan Bednar Long, renovations were tackled phase-by-phase. By the time they set their sights on the unfinished attic, both designer and client had developed a keen sense of what was still missing—a workhorse.

On the wish list: A well-appointed office, a gentleman’s lounge for cigar smoking and game nights, a sleep loft for family visits and a bevy of storage. While embracing the original beams and warm wood floors, Long set about modernizing the space with a cozy, masculine mood. Notably, in building out the crooked chimney, she created a stylish built-in

bar-meets-shelving unit wrapped in metallic Hermès wallpaper, which ingeniously serves as a partition between the lounge and office areas. Utilizing every solitary inch (while preserving an airy feel thanks to precisely scaled furnishings), the designer squeezed in a comfy window banquette, an 11-foot-long desk, a flatscreen TV and a sectional. Storage space abounds as well, including the antique home’s original, rehabilitated cubbies that now enclose back-of-house office supplies, camping gear and seasonal storage. “Only the pretty stuff is on view,” notes Long, adding, in the ultimate stamp of approval, “This was never an essential space, but it has become just that.” sblonginteriors.com

RECLAMATION REQUESTS Heritage Salvage works with clients on many different home projects: outdoor gazebos, room remodels with posts, ceiling beams and feature walls, and furniture of all sorts. “Our most popular pieces are mantels and floating shelves,” Deakin says. But a personal favorite of his is a live-edge slab table that can go in the kitchen. “It’s the best way to hug a tree at every meal,” he says.

When it comes to remodeling a home, Deakin says, “We love to involve ourselves in the design and materials choices.”

Understanding the client’s functional requirements, aesthetic vision and concept of comfort is always key. “A remodel is a dance of clients’ desires, existing spaces, structural necessities and design flair with a canvas that may have been painted five years ago or a hundred years ago,” he says.

heritagesalvage

Some of today’s most successful businesses were born out of an ambitious founder’s garage. Heritage Salvage had a similar start more than 20 years ago, when Michael Bug Deakin turned his carport in Occidental, California, into a workshop for salvaging wood. Today, his full-service facility spans 3 acres in the North Bay and is used to upcycle custom floors, doors, furnishings and beyond. “Our mission is to bring awareness to the richness, warmth and sustainability of reclaimed building materials,” he says. While breathing new life into lumber is the company’s bread and butter, Deakin also puts an emphasis on respecting and preserving the material’s past throughout the transformation. “I named our company Heritage Salvage because I love to salvage the heritage,” Deakin says. “My first motto was: ‘Buy an old plank, leave a live tree in the bank!’”

“Our philosophy is practicing sustainable enthusiasm because if you are enthusiastic about what you do, it’s never like work!”

Long gone are the days of makeshift home offices and working on a laptop from the bed or couch. “Incorporating specific needs while creating a productive work space is both challenging and rewarding,” Fox says. Not only does the workstation need to be well thought out, but so does the background. “The compelling need for a real backdrop during video conferencing opened a new point of discussion in design,” Fox adds.

Valet often deals with small renovation projects that make a huge impact on a home’s overall function and design. A few additions the team thinks make all the difference include banquettes, a built-in bar, a library wall and a window seat or entry alcove.

Many homes have an oddly shaped closet or underutilized garage, especially when they weren’t built custom from the ground up. Turning these spaces into functional living and storage areas is no easy feat, but it’s what Valet Custom Cabinets & Closets does best. For more than 47 years, Valet has provided clients with space-enhancing solutions including expertly designed home offices, wall beds and garage cabinetry. Valet has created versatile “Zoom rooms” and entertaining spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful, helping homeowners transition to their new hybrid work lifestyles. “Our talented designers blend the functional necessities together with aesthetic appointments to create a stunning solution that will complement the style of any home,” says owner Larry Fox. “The ‘Valet way’ ensures the project is done right the first time.”

Modern Heirloom Inspired by a sense of past and place, a Woodside family abode is born.

W R I T T E N BY H E AT H E R S H O N I N G | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY J O H N M E R K L

Architecture: Timothy C. Chappelle, Arcanum Architecture, Inc. Interior Design: Jennifer Robin, Jennifer Robin Interiors Landscape Architecture: John Merten, Studio Green

This Woodside residence with soaring stacked-stone walls features a side approach—just one of many unique design details. “This is more like a building that was retrofitted than a typical house,” says architect Timothy C. Chappelle.

“It doesn’t have a traditional front door facing the big street. It wasn’t designed that way.”

LUXESOURCE.COM

I

t’s not often you hear a house referred to as a “found object,” but that’s how architect Timothy C. Chappelle describes a residence he designed in Woodside, a small town with a big sense of history. It’s a wooded area where equestrian paths line the narrow, sidewalkfree streets and remnant sawmill buildings tell an old, but not-forgotten tale. Although it’s home to some of Silicon Valley’s elite, it’s the kind of place determined to retain its charm and eschew big money’s largesse.

This bucolic setting inspired the abode, and Chappelle came to the project with a unique perspective: He’s a Woodside resident. “There’s a part of town with older, historic buildings from the 1800s,” says the architect, who worked in concert with project manager Austin Riley. “We had those in mind. We didn’t want this to feel like a new dwelling. Instead, we envisioned it as a spread out, aged agrarian compound. We think of places like this as ‘quiet architecture’—buildings that are at peace with their settings.”

That sense of calm is present as you approach the residence, which sits on a corner lot surrounded by stately oak and evergreen trees.

Lush grasses give the front yard an informal character, while mature plantings lend to the home’s sense of longevity. “It feels as though you are walking through a meadow to get to the entry,” says landscape architect John Merten.

The dwelling itself comprises a trio of gabled buildings topped by a rustic metal roof and connected by glass-enclosed breezeways. Two are clad in stone (the larger edifice holds the living areas, and a smaller one contains the primary bedroom suite), and the third is a wood-clad structure housing the garage. In keeping with the small-town sensibility, you’ll find a front porch with a swing where the homeowners often relax.

Inside, designer Jennifer Robin and project manager Dani Souza married the husband and wife’s distinct styles while honoring the architecture’s timeless nature. “He was attracted to clean, modern lines and more masculine design elements, while she gravitated toward traditional, feminine forms,” says Robin. “We carefully wove

these together for a transitional vibe that reflects their tastes in a harmonious way.” Throughout the house, the designers performed a delicate balancing act, blending blond woods for texture and warmth with hints of antique brass, black accents and sophisticated millwork. For instance, light-hued perimeter cabinetry in the kitchen is juxtaposed against a dark island and a large black range hood, while the patterned tile backsplash whispers traditional and fresh in one breath. In the openconcept living and dining room, a white sofa sits opposite a dark media wall with a striking gray onyx fireplace surround. The dining chairs and benches are a modern shape, but Robin added nailhead detailing for a classic touch.

In select spots, exterior finishes drift indoors for a seamless look. “We want a connection between the inside and out,” Chappelle says. “One way to do it is with large windows and doors, but it is also important to bring the exterior materials inside.” The strategy is evident in the breezeways, where residents witness the exterior and interior materials blending through the glass walls as they travel from space to space.

The main bathroom is an exquisite example of blurring lines—the soaking tub sits in a niche that appears to jut through the exterior wall, with stonework hugging the space. Robin was careful to offset the heaviness of the material with lighter elements. “I selected a delicate marble mosaic for the floor along with feminine glass knobs and linen insets for the vanity to create a yin-yang balance,” she says. In the sleek main bedroom, equilibrium is found between large and intimate elements. The voluminous, light-hued room is grounded by a custom bed and floating nightstands. Opposite the bed is a wall composed of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that provide direct access to the backyard.

At the end of the day, the homeowners often find themselves following a narrow path that leads to a seating area under a large oak where they can relax and enjoy the view of their new, harmonious abode. “I have a respect for great materials and craftsmanship, and people collaborating and working well together to create something spectacular,” the husband says.

“I think we achieved that here.”

“The husband was attracted to clean, modern lines and more masculine design elements, while the wife gravitated toward traditional, feminine forms.”

Rooted in Place

A luminous South Bay home is reimagined for a new generation.

A home in Palo Alto embodies a warm contemporary spirit, carefully cultivated by designer Patricia Del Gavio and architect Donald J. Ruthroff. The streamlined stairway is made with white oak treads by Simmons Stairways and glass rails by Franciscan Glass Company. Hammerton fabricated the custom floating light installation.

T

he term “family tree” has special meaning in this Palo Alto abode. With an eye to the future, the owners created their dream dwelling where the husband’s childhood house once stood underneath a towering magnolia tree planted by his parents decades earlier.

Although the couple pictured children playing under the sprawling branches, living in the original 1940s-era residence posed significant practical concerns, such as a functionally obsolete floor plan and low ceilings that forced the 6-foot-8-inch-tall husband to duck his head while climbing the stairs. More fundamentally, they wanted to add their own chapter to the site’s story, one that spoke to their style as the next generation. “We decided to build a new, contemporary home where the old house stood,” says the wife. “There’s something powerful about owning who you are.”

Two kids and seven years later, the completed structure is unapologetically modern, but it’s also intimate and human oriented. Together with designer Patricia Del Gavio, architect Donald J. Ruthroff and general contractor John Suppes, the couple dubbed it the “Luminosa House,” using the Italian word for shining and brilliant.

The ensuing design, engineered to infuse a warm, welcoming spirit into the family’s daily life, rings true. “The will to be genuine and organic was our beacon from the beginning,” says Del Gavio of the team’s approach.

Natural illumination is the most prominent feature. “It’s important for light to enter the spaces in as many ways as possible,” explains Ruthroff of his architectural approach. That led to the addition of numerous skylights, clerestory windows and large light wells to make the most of the sunny Peninsula weather. An atrium laced with twining vines “brings life into the house and provides a Zenlike environment” notes Del Gavio. Often serving as an impromptu camping spot for the children, “it lets them experience the outdoors while feeling safe and protected,” she adds. Sunshine also channels through the glass-encased stairwell, where open treads and glass railings ensure that light flows unimpeded through the heart of the house. At night, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling installation of

wood-trimmed pendant lights floating along yards of cord brings another kind of inviting glow.

The overall layout pivots toward the environment, cultivating a relaxed indoor-outdoor atmosphere suiting the family’s lifestyle. “The nature of how open our house is feels like an invitation,” notes the wife. Oversize bifold doors connect the central great room to the backyard, where landscape architect Philip vanderToolen took care to preserve the site’s original trees, including the precious magnolia.

Now family and friends can casually filter in and out during lazy all-day summer gatherings. More private spaces enjoy the same fluidity. The couple’s bedroom opens to a generous balcony where the children enjoy stargazing and learning the planets’ pathways across the sky. The results are permeable, interconnected spaces where family members never feel too far away from each other.

To reinforce this sense of openness, the interiors feature “a very neutral, soothing palette. Nothing too stark,” says Del Gavio, pointing to the warm white walls and natural oak used for the flooring and window trim, intersecting the omnipresent glass. Accenting the high ceilings are gold metal fixtures that catch the light, like the grand Sputnik-inspired chandelier in the living area.

Although there are sparkling notes of glamour, the home leans toward informality. Activities center around custom furnishings, such as the living area’s large sectional, configured so “all the family members can enjoy curling up together,” notes Del Gavio. In lieu of formal dining, the couple prefers hosting big family meals on the live-edge table, surrounded by chairs in the wife’s favorite blush hue. Throughout, natural wood and organic linens and cottons underscore a sense of relaxed ease. “There’s an effortlessness and efficiency to this house; every space has a function,” observes Ruthroff.

Through years of careful planning and construction, the residence became a poignant vessel of memories for the couple as it developed and grew alongside their family. Their eldest witnessed it all, from the freshly demolished lot to their very first Thanksgiving celebrations in the new dwelling. “There’s something beautiful in creating our own history and future here,” says the wife. “I’m grateful because our home feels like an extension of who we are and how we want to live our lives—open, light and connected.”

Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace covers the walls of the luminous great room. Del Gavio designed the sectional and lounge chairs crafted by Cypress Furniture. Built-in shelving by Brown Felicetta Designs fluidly integrates with the limestone fireplace surround fabricated by JB Tile & Stone. Hinkley’s Tryst chandelier adds a touch of glamour to the space.

Form and Function Potter Erin Hupp’s elegant work lives at the intersection of fine art and practicality.

lthough Erin Hupp’s career trajectory has taken more than one detour, today the artist is back where she started: creating pottery.

The Oakland resident began her professional life at a production pottery studio, but ceramics took a back seat when she decided to pursue degrees in law and city planning. She practiced land-use law, then pivoted to the emotionally demanding work of serving as a legal advocate for children in foster care. “It was hard, but incredibly rewarding,” she says. “After five years, I hit a wall of emotion and needed to step back.”

That is when she returned to ceramics. “I live in the Bay Area, so it’s no surprise that I’m a foodie,” she says. “I reached out to some of my favorite chefs and designer friends, and I started a very collaborative kind of art.” To create her custom wheel-thrown tableware, Hupp first eats at a restaurant to learn about a chef’s food and presentation style. Then it’s back to the studio to develop signature pieces for specific dishes.

The potter works with chefs like Alex Hong at Sorrel and designers like Noz Nozawa.

When Nozawa designed the vibrant breakfast restaurant Hilda and Jesse, she partnered with Hupp to craft a specific plate for their soufflé pancake stack. “When I’m working with restaurants, my art is not complete until the chef’s food is on the plate,” the artist says. “I get to make something that’s interesting on its own, but it’s also hosting something else.”

She likes this “middle ground,” as she calls it—the place where utility meets one-of-a-kind conceptual pieces—and embraces ceramics that are meant to be both used and admired.

“It’s form and function,” she says. “Working collaboratively is the path less traveled, but I intentionally chose that space.”

Along with her commissioned lines, Hupp makes time for a purely creative practice. “I had this idea that my pieces were like little people, and I should put jewelry on them,” she says. The idea evolved into a series of vases—some adorned with ceramic rings, others with bracelets—which can be found at Métier in San Francisco.

You could say that, despite the circuitous route she took to get there, living in a creative space where there’s room for ceramics both utilitarian and purely artistic is Hupp’s happy place. “These works are the opposite of identical, mass-produced objects,” Hupp says.

“The more standardized our world is, the more important this niche becomes.”

Potter Erin Hupp creates work such as the Orbit Ring vase (previous page, left) in her Oakland studio. It joins pieces in her Ring and Bracelet collection (opposite and bottom, right). The artist also makes tableware, like her Ink Texture plates (left). Ceramics in progress include Ink Texture table vases (below) and rings for vessels (bottom, left).

RAISING THE ROOF In Atherton, a design team takes a standard ranch house to stylish new heights.

The gallery leading to this Atherton residence’s primary suite is lit by Visual Comfort lanterns and lined with artwork by a variety of international artists; all the pieces were framed at Peabody Gallery. To fill the sitting area, designer Mary Jo Fiorella selected an Anees Upholstery sofa from Sloan Miyasto, an Arteriors accent table and a chaise by Lee Industries.

E

veryone knows there is no way to force a square peg into a round hole. Designer Mary Jo Fiorella felt like she was trying to do just that as she attempted to shoehorn a commodious great room, a large primary suite for both sleeping and lounging, and enough space for large-scale cooking and entertaining into a standard 1950s ranch house. After several months of planning, it became obvious that transforming the nondescript Atherton residence into an elegant home equal to the sophistication of its owners and their notable art collection wasn’t happening within the confines of the existing structure.

“The square footage simply wasn’t adequate to support their goals, so I started looking to create a sense of grandness in the great room and primary bedroom,” explains Fiorella.

Residential designer Jennifer Lee was enlisted to turn this new architectural vision into a reality, and she and Fiorella collaborated to, quite literally, raise the roof. The entry was pulled forward, and the roofline was elevated to lofty new heights, creating more pleasing proportions in the combined living, dining and kitchen area. “We added a shed roof, and the resulting sloped ceiling stretches to nearly 20 feet high,” says Lee, who also incorporated a row of clerestory windows running the length of the space at its highest point.

Not surprisingly, given the couple’s collection, art defines the entry. A dramatic aluminum wall sculpture by French artist Olivier Seguin pairs with a minimalistic concrete-and-metal bench to make an unforgettable opening statement. “It’s a piece of art all on its own,” says Fiorella of the hefty perch.

Those kind of grace moments continue in the great room, where built-in shelves are lined with collectibles handed down through generations of family. The new furniture in this space evokes another kind of warm, familial response. “I wanted everyone to feel like they were getting a hug when they take a seat,” notes the designer, referencing the chenille upholstery on the sleek sofa and the velvet-covered swivel chairs.

References to one of the homeowners’ Spanish heritage can be found throughout the abode.

In the kitchen, hand-painted backsplash tiles

evoking the spirit of his native country accent dark-stained, rift-sawn oak cabinets. Integrating a pair of antique Spanish doors into the entry of the shared office was another nod to his roots, but it proved a more daunting challenge. “The door panels were the wrong size, so I worked with general contractor Todd Turley to design an oversize metal frame for each door to make them fit,” the designer explains.

The primary suite reflects the personality of the other owner—described by Fiorella as warm, passionate and vivacious. “She often wears deep red lipstick, and she wanted a glamorous red chaise to lounge on. It really evokes her nature and adds spice to the room,” says the designer. Area rugs in the distinct sleeping and lounge areas also inspired the suite’s red and gold accents. “We pulled colors from the floorcoverings and used them throughout the room to make it sing,” explains Fiorella. A custom console hiding a television screen that rises and swivels for ease of viewing further delineates spaces for sleeping and relaxing.

The main bathroom is also a personality rich space, marked by a geometric black tile backsplash that serves as a dramatic background for a shapely soaking tub. An elaborate tile rug embedded in the black marble floor provides a similar modern note.

The warmth of a floating walnut vanity prevents the space from feeling cold.

A great deal of thought went into the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. In the new living area, 10-foot-tall doors now open to a trellised alfresco dining room and pool. To enhance the easy flow between the spaces, landscape architect Keith Willig installed exterior paving at the same level as the interior flooring. “With zero threshold, it feels like you are just walking between rooms as you move from inside to out,” he explains. “In keeping with the owners’ desire for European elements in the landscape, olive trees anchor the front yard, and an allée of fruit trees provide color and formality.”

What started as a design challenge became a residence where living is easy and graceful.

“There are warm woods, clean lines and no excessive details,” notes Fiorella. “We allowed their artworks to serve as the ‘jewelry’ in the rooms.” In other words, the once too-small house is now a perfect fit.
