Outstanding Achievements from August 2020 KWLI agents sell the highest-priced listing in two markets ...

Diane Kink of The Woodlands, Texas, had the highest-priced home sold in all of Houston in August: 3 Grand Regency Circle, listed at $5.96 million. The Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) released its list of the 10 most expensive homes sold in August — another strong month for this market, particularly in the upper end. Home sales priced at $750,000 or more soared 40.3 percent year over year, according to a recent report from HAR. Among the 9,195 single-family homes sold in August were 10 high-end Houston homes priced between $2.85 million and $5.96 million.

398 Vanderbilt Road in Asheville, NC, sold for a record $7.7 million

Wendy and Brad Puffer represented the buyer for the most expensive home ever sold in Asheville, North Carolina, for $7.7 million. The home at 398 Vanderbilt Road was built by Robert Lee Ellis and his wife Nan in 1927. Mr. Ellis was the President of the Coca Cola Bottling Company of Asheville at the time.

The home includes 5 bedrooms, 6-plus baths and is on 4.5 acres overlooking the Biltmore Forest Country Club Golf Course.

WELCOME TO B

eauty. In a year of stress and anxiety for so many of us, it’s easy to get so overwhelmed that we forget to pause to find and appreciate life’s beautiful things. This issue of Keller Williams Luxury International is dedicated to enjoying all things beautiful. Starting on page 33, Eilyn Jimenez of Sire Design shares how a deep connection with interiors has evolved into designing timeless, statement-making spaces. In discussing one of her biggest projects to date, she admits something rarely heard from designers: “Some loved our work and others hated it. We dealt with a lot of personalities and understood not everyone would like what we had designed.” Refreshingly honest, and how true it is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What do you think?

Routines adopted during the pandemic — including working or learning remotely and movie dates at home — are certain to endure long after this crisis passes, so new home design and construction will need to accommodate those behaviors.

So, in “Post-Pandemic Design,” learn how architects and interior designers are adapting both beauty and function to these emerging realities. Then, explore the enduring legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s original celebrity architect, as he continues to inspire residential architects today. Known as the godfather of modernism, his work centered around the ability to live in harmony with the natural world. The beauty of the natural world is expressed in the next two features as well, “Not-So-Hidden Gems” and “Joy & Happiness,” each of which profile artisans honoring the spirit and wonder of nature, although in very different ways.

Meanwhile, at the start of the magazine, you’ll find two hard-hitting stories that showcase the impact and value of the Keller Williams Luxury International brand. First, in “Inflection Point,” our agents explain the industry’s new normal, post-COVID-19. How has the market shifted? Should I stay or should I go? Is there a flight to safety? Bigger or smaller?

Upsizing or downsizing? We examine the hard questions and provide real answers. Also, in “2020: A Financial Balancing Act,” economic experts talk exclusively to Keller Williams Luxury International about how while 2020 has felt like a lost year, it’s certainly not an unprofitable one. Although most people were confined to their homes — theaters, sports arenas and restaurants all shuttered — not all investments were soured by the pandemic. Learn more, starting on page 8.

Whether it’s the beauty of things created by talented people, the wonder of the world all around us, or the stunning grandeur of the wonderful homes showcased within ... we hope you enjoy everything this latest edition of Keller Williams Luxury International has to offer. Be safe and be well.

Inflection Point After months of uncertainty and sequestration, consumers have arrived at an inflection point, poised on the threshold of what is, once again, being dubbed a new normal.

By Camilla McLaughlin

“H

it the gas, tap the brakes and change direction,” proclaimed the headline of a recent podcast from John Burns Consulting regarding consumer shifts and strategies for the construction and real estate communities. Nothing better underscores the current marketplace for residential properties — new and existing homes.

From sizes, amenities and lifestyle to location, almost every aspect of each individual’s home is under review. “People have become more thoughtful and had time to figure out what’s important today. People have had time to modify what they are looking for,” observes Matthew Steer with Keller Williams NYC in New York City.

“All of this is kind of like a moment of realization when people are suddenly really looking at the way they’re living in their houses, and they’re looking at the way they’re living in their yards, and, suddenly, they think they need things they once thought they could compromise on or didn’t need,” explains Rumana Jabeen with Keller Williams Peninsula

Estates in Burlingame, California.

“They want a place that fits their goals for life, right now,” says Lee Harding with Keller Williams Realty in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Scottsdale. For newcomers to South Dakota, he says, “it’s like a Norman Rockwell thing. They are searching for what they grew up with.”

viewing a home are also happening simply because the market is moving so quickly.

Yet, James Torrance with Keller Williams Reserve in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, believes serious buyers still want to see the home in person.

“They get on a plane and come down to see it,” he shares, noting an increase in private aviation.

Going Virtual “Video content is the new normal,” says Steer of Manhattan real estate, noting that preCOVID-19, video was not as widely used in New York as in most other areas of the country. Now, he says, “We’ve taken that on board.”

Along Florida’s Emerald Coast, there is a slight increase in sales sight unseen, says Tosha Corrigan with Keller Williams Emerald Coast in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. More parts of the transaction are moving online. “I’ve incorporated Zoom into my listing appointments.”

Buyer consultations via Zoom, particularly to review disclosures and agreements, have been worthwhile, says Corrigan. Offers without

Flight to safety or new prices per square foot?

Typically, consumer moves to suburbs and small towns, such as New Yorkers to Connecticut or Westchester County, are attributed to a desire for safety. But Steer says sometimes the change is “not so much a flight to safety, but more of a flight to price per square foot.” Instead of leaving the city, some look to other boroughs or even another part of Manhattan, if they can get a better price per square foot. Also, worth noting, price corrections are enhancing the city’s value equation. “If someone is paying more than $4,000 per month for rent, they are thinking this is an incredible time to be buying in New York City,”

Should I stay or should I go?

The choice to stay or leave seems to be a major concern for consumers today. Ask agents almost anywhere in the country, even places as dissimilar as Palm Beach and Sioux Falls, and they say newcomers, looking for a primary or vacation home, hail from new locations as well as traditional feeder markets. In Palm Beach,

says Steer. Another relatively recent turn in Manhattan is a desire for a home in a location where they can walk to work.

The appeal of states with little or no personal income tax and other tax advantages has become even more persuasive. “Being able to buy a luxury home for $1 million and 6,000 square feet of premium finishes is pretty compelling.

And then not to have any personal state income or corporate income tax….” says Harding.

In Florida, Torrance points out that the tax savings for a luxury buyer in his area could easily equal the cost of private school tuition, and waiting lists at private schools are on the rise.

WELLNESS Market Shifts In the Bay Area, a notable change is underway with a bonus of more homes for sale in some places, increasing the opportunity to buy a home for many who have been closed out of the housing market in recent years. Still, Jabeen says, “Our market is pretty robust. We’re seeing multiple offers, but buyers are just a little less aggressive than a month ago. There is still tons of demand, but now they have a little more choice than even last month.” And their radar is fixed on new locations. “Some are moving out of the area, but often to nearby places like Oakland, Orinda and East Bay, which people were not doing before,” says Jabeen. “We’re also seeing 8

Canadians are noticeably absent this year, but an increasing number of buyers hail from Chicago and California. Recent transactions for Harding in Sioux Falls involved couples from California, Florida and Minneapolis. In addition to the tax incentives, Harding says Sioux Falls offers the amenities of a much larger city from food and dining to outdoor living, but it also feels like “a little piece of Americana.”

“This year I’ve noted a majority are coming from a driving distance, and they purchase here because it’s within a 10-hour drive,” says Corrigan. As in many other resort locations, owners and buyers are discovering off seasons.

“More people are here full time,” she says.

people migrating from San Francisco to the midPeninsula, where they are getting single-family homes with decent yards and office spaces.”

“I need to get out of here” is a refrain often heard from retirees in California as many leave the state for a variety of reasons, including lower taxes.

Bigger or smaller?

Upsizing or downsizing?

COVID-19 turned the trend toward downsizing on end as agents see increasing requests for more square footage to accommodate multiple offices, storage and places to play inside and out. Pools are in high demand almost everywhere, even South Dakota. In the past, many looked to clubs and community amenities for pools. Now, Corrigan says, everyone wants a pool.

On the other hand, many who could easily amp up square footage to 9,000 or more, are looking in the 5,000-square-foot range. But Harding adds a caveat, “In most of these cases, there are multiple homes. They’ve got a home on a lake, and they probably have a condo in Arizona or California or Texas. I think there is a shift just back to more important things in life, which is being together and not having quite as much square footage to take care of.”

Consumers overall want more space.

Mikaela Sharp, manager of Trends and

Innovation with John Burns Consulting, suggests builders tap the brakes on vast open layouts because more square footage will be devoted to privacy and separation. Quiet is in demand, and Scott Rodwin, president of Rodwin Architecture in Boulder, Colorado, anticipates more acoustic insulation around specific rooms as is currently often done around master suites in upscale homes A desire for practical spaces such as storage, drop zones and seamless outdoor connections will require a change in direction.

Wellness is still on the horizon for many, but it’s growing in importance for upscale consumers.

To get many of these amenities, Torrance sees more consumers also making lateral moves in a location, and possibly going up in price, to a newer home that includes all the additional spaces they want.

In the future, look for more accessory dwelling units, casitas or innovative spaces for long-term guests or returning family members, including mom and dad.

What’s Old is New Drive-to locations have always been the mainstay for the second-home market, and post COVID-19 they are more desirable than ever.

Increasing too, travelers are turning to their homes, primary and vacation, as places to invest and devoting travel funds for home improvement or new properties.

2020:

A Financial Balancing Act

By Roger Grody

With most people confined to their homes — theaters, sports arenas and restaurants all shuttered — 2020 has felt like a lost year, but not entirely an unprofitable one.

It

ISTOCKPHOTO.COM / TREETY

is safe to say that public health emergencies are not particularly good for business. When stay-at-home orders went into effect last March, most of the American economy was effectively switched off. Downtown districts, with their teeming office towers and lively nightspots, suddenly went dark, and leisure pursuits like concerts, sporting events and travel grounded to a halt.

Even national political conventions, typically financial windfalls for their host cities, became virtual events in the summer of 2020. But not all investments were soured by the pandemic.

Wall Street While many businesses shut down, some of America’s most innovative companies were well positioned to profit from a lockdown. Technology firms like Google, Apple, Zoom Video, and DocuSign — any enterprise specializing in the digital

infrastructure that connects workers isolated in their homes — prospered tremendously.

In the second quarter of 2020, ascendant Zoom Video generated greater earnings than in the entire four quarters of 2019, and entertainment brands like Netflix and Disney+ took advantage of homebound consumers’ cravings for movies and television series. Companies like Take-Two Interactive satiated the appetites of video gamers, while Peloton benefitted from people working out at home after their gyms were closed. And all of these trends are likely to persist long after the virus has passed.

Companies like Amazon, as well as brick-and-mortar retailers Walmart and Target, forced into a digital world, saw earnings skyrocket. Shareholders of these companies saw their fortunes grow, but only after a nearly devastating market collapse in March, making for a wild ride on Wall Street.

An unexpectedly rapid recovery from those March lows extended through August before 9

some high-flying technology stocks began to come down to earth. Despite some significant gains, volatility has been a hallmark of 2020, and fear has sent gold prices to record highs.

Many market commentators suggest that as the nation transitions from a lockdown economy to something resembling normalcy, the market will experience a rotation from technology into sectors like financials and industrials.

Experts suggest being patient during erratic markets, to resist panic and the impulsive selling that comes with it. Active traders move in and out of markets, but investors with sound long-term strategies should remain calm, insist commentators like Mark Riepe, senior vice president at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. “Because timing the market perfectly is, well, about as likely as winning the lottery, the best strategy for most of us mere mortal investors is not to try to markettime at all,” he reports.

Main Street Back on Main Street, the pandemic inflicted nearly unprecedented damage to small businesses, particularly those in the hospitality industry, and their challenges do not appear to be subsiding any time soon. From neighborhood mom-and-pop eateries to celebrity chef-owned restaurants, the pain has been widespread.

Chef, food journalist and television personality Andrew Zimmern stated in April that American restaurants were facing a “near-extinction event,” as owners’ bills continued to pile up during forced closures.

Even with aggressive carryout and delivery programs, as well as expanding outdoor dining, restaurants began closing. As early as July, Yelp had reported that nearly 16,000 restaurants around the country had served their last meals and that 60 percent of all restaurant closures would become permanent, including high-flyers like New York’s Aureole, K-Paul’s in New Orleans and San Francisco’s Farallon.

While the hospitality industry will eventually recover, its turmoil represents the risks of investing in any business enterprise during uncertain times. Prospective investors must consider how a specific sector would be affected by a future emergency, public health or otherwise, and evaluate their tolerance for risk.

Technology-driven businesses, where a brickand-mortar presence is less imperative, may be the most attractive investments in the nearterm, according to financial advisors. Savvy 10

investors are also looking at businesses that can capitalize on those pandemic-induced consumer trends that are likely to continue long after this crisis has passed.

Real Estate While the luxury real estate market has suffered — a cyclical decline was already forcing sellers to slash prices on many lavish properties in New York and L.A. — the rest of the market has been hot, thanks to historically low interest rates. Suburban neighborhoods with access to central city amenities appear to be the beneficiaries of the flight from high-density cities like New York and San Francisco. Real estate professionals report that homebuyers are more likely to accept longer commutes now that working remotely is acceptable to employers.

Ample square footage and access to outdoor space have become precious commodities.

Richard Lombari, of Keller Williams Beach Cities in Greater Los Angeles, reports a hot market for single-family detached homes priced less than $3.5 million, but more sluggish demand for homes exceeding that threshold, citing tighter lending policies for high-end properties. Overall, he confirms the flight from high-density condo towers to single-family detached homes, and also notes demand for relatively low-density townhome developments.

“People are looking to be more isolated, have additional outdoor space and have greater control over their environment,” says Lombari, who believes this trend is likely to continue for three to five years. He also sees opportunities for investors to pick up luxury properties at a discount, surmising that prices will ultimately rebound.

Exotic Investments There is an entire category of investments generally reserved for those with substantial wealth and less aversion to risk. Investors with the requisite expertise and passion can make money investing in fine art, wine, classic automobiles, or collectables like luxury watches, sports memorabilia and writing instruments.

RR Auction, headquartered in Boston, deals with a vast array of collectibles, with previous sales including Truman Capote’s handnotated manuscript for Breakfast at Tiffany’s ($306,000) and a pair of Bonnie and Clyde’s guns ($504,000). Historic letters, books signed

by Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr., and presidential artifacts are also available at RR

“We don’t advise our clients to buy for investing.

We tell them to buy what they love,” says Livingston, who believes that the finest examples of whatever they are passionate about are likely to appreciate in value.

Auction. A Bulova watch that traveled to the moon with astronaut Dave Scott garnered a winning bid of $1.625 million.

Bobby Livingston, senior vice president of RR Auction, reports that nearly all categories are currently hot, as consumers who suddenly stopped spending on dining, concerts and travel increased their collecting. “We’ve got new collectors registering and buying, while existing customers have been participating more vigorously,” explains Livingston, who notes items like the original Apple-1 computers, or anything else related to Steve Jobs, are of interest to a new generation of collectors. “We don’t advise our clients to buy for investing.

We tell them to buy what they love,” says Livingston, who believes that the finest examples of whatever they are passionate about are likely to appreciate in value.

Buying museum-quality fine art tends to be an investment option available only to the ultra-rich, but innovative firms like Masterworks are leveling the playing field.

Instead of individual buyers shelling out millions, the company allows smaller investors to buy shares representing ownership of paintings by masters like Claude Monet, Andy Warhol or Jean-Michel Basquiat. You might not be able to hang it on your wall, but perks include potential appreciation and priceless bragging rights.

Fine wine is another investment not usually considered by the average Pinot Noir drinker, as it requires not only oenological expertise, but knowledge of complex financial markets, climatic conditions and geopolitics.

Based on their budget and risk tolerance, Vinovest purchases, authenticates, insures, and stores its investors’ wine.

Reporting Vinovest invests in wines for maximum appreciation, company co-founder and CEO Anthony Zhang reports, “Our average client is up about 7 percent year-to-date, unaffected by dips in the stock market.” He adds, “Most of our clients are well-off and have traditional investments, but also appreciate the value of alternative assets.” Zhang notes that Vinovest clients own the underlying assets — this is not an investment in fractional ownership — so they have access to their wine at any time.

Because the investment process involves crunching data and creating algorithms, the résumés of the company’s leadership are heavily weighted in high tech, but advisors

An alluring alternative to traditional financial markets is wine, and Vinovest equips investors with both viticultural expertise and technology.

include sommeliers from Michelin three-star restaurants. Depending on the vintage and global consumption trends, Zhang suggests that buying and holding a case of Bordeaux might not only be profitable over time, but the wine will also improve with age.

Barrett-Jackson is a prominent classic auto auction company, whose Scottsdale, Las Vegas and Palm Beach events draw thousands of collectors and enthusiasts. The firm has recently launched collector-car road tours to generate new interest among investors. “The Barrett-Jackson experience has become something truly unique in the collector car world,” says Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of the auction company, who insists the firm’s events are the heartbeat of this investment medium.

Last January, before the pandemic, BarrettJackson held the largest and most successful auction in its 49-year history, with a record number of bidders vying for more than 1,900 vehicles that sold for nearly $130 million. With pieces of automobilia and the sale of charity

vehicles included, the total amount exceeded $141 million. Representing the stratosphere of the classic car industry was a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake, auctioned off at a 2007 Barrett-Jackson event for $5.5 million.

A Year to Remember Although it is subject to debate, some experts regard the COVID-19 pandemic as a “black swan” event, referencing the theory presented in statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s 2007 book, The Black Swan. The essence of such a characterization is that the pandemic was an unpredictable, extremely rare occurrence with catastrophic results. If it was indeed a black swan event, the good news is that another is not likely to occur anytime soon, which should be welcome relief to pandemicwary investors.

If history is any guide, patience is an investor’s greatest virtue. As Warren Buffet has said, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

The Chase for Enduring Design

By Jessica Decina

Sire Design’s Eilyn Jimenez shares how a deep connection with interiors has evolved into designing timeless, statement-making spaces that will never go out of style.

PHOTO BY OSCAR HUESPE

E

ilyn Jimenez’s fascination with interiors began at an early age. It began with the fascination of rearranging the furniture in her room repeatedly (“I did it constantly,” she admits). She gravitated toward mature aesthetics and darker shades rather than bright or pastel colors; she just wasn’t into the typical “pink princess” look, she notes.

Jimenez headed to college intending to earn a business degree. Midway through, she instead began studying architecture — but often found herself more focused on conceptualizing the interiors for all of her assignments.

“My professors always called me out for designing the interiors, telling me that it wasn’t necessary. I always thought that the way a space is used internally has a huge impact on the overall architecture, but my professors disagreed,” she says.

“That’s when I knew I had a unique connection with interior design.”

Armed with her architectural knowledge and this unique connection, Jimenez — the founder and creative director of Sire Design — embarked on a mission to create spaces that were both “timeless and alive.”

“I’m a firm believer that spaces should feel timeless, and easily evolve with time. Good design can be seen today, tomorrow, and 20 years from now.”

Sire Design brought pops of color to this upscale private residence in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood (here and upper right).

“Ultimately, I focus mainly on interior design, while incorporating my knowledge of architecture, and to this day that knowledge has been a huge tool while working on projects,” she adds.

Today, her Miami-based firm has completed projects in over a dozen cities and several international locales.

“I’m a firm believer that spaces should feel timeless, and easily evolve with time. Good design can be seen today, tomorrow, and 20 years from now,” she says.

The secret to achieving that enduring, classic space? Less is more, Jimenez says.

“Spaces do not need excessive various elements to make them profound,” she explains.

“With the right amount of minimalistic details, a design can be made stunningly unique. I believe that when you approach design in a minimal way, the classic elements of the space stand out and combine beautifully with contemporary details — this approach allows spaces to feel timeless, alive, yet warm and fresh.”

Jimenez often looks to the past for inspiration, citing fondness for interiors in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.

“Just like fashion, we revert back to design from previous eras. I like sourcing books and magazines that show work in those eras and take note of the materials, trends and aesthetics used,” she adds.

That said, she’s not adverse to more modern tools. Pinterest, the online vision board (“We’ve nicknamed it the rabbit hole,” Jimenez says), allows clients to envision the concepts that will define a project. “[Our clients’] likes and their goals for using their spaces are the first inspirations we draw from. We expand on their ideas, taking them to a whole new level. Concept development and storytelling are the bases for the aesthetics of every project,” she says.

While Jimenez embraces timelessness, she also loves to be bold. Sire Design sets itself apart with bold aesthetics, anything from furniture to color palettes. Black has been a signature color in her work for 10 years — “we know it’s here to stay,” she says. “We’ve also been loving taupes, bone tones, seafoam green, and muted grey.” She also encourages mixing earthy hues with natural materials, like leather and light wood.

But being bold has come with its fair share of challenges, Jimenez says. Sire was recently selected to design the common spaces for a large multi-functional residence — almost 80 floors of

construction and 41,000 square feet of outdoor space. Her firm’s proposal won the majority vote — but not everyone was a fan.

“It’s three towers, plus the outdoor pool area, in one of the most prestigious areas of South Beach. This is one of the largest projects we have been a part of,” she says. “Some loved our work and others hated it. We dealt with a lot of personalities and understood not everyone would like what we had designed,” she said.

Jimenez knows her designs aren’t for everyone, but encourages others to embrace the styles they love and not be afraid of standing out.

“Every home needs a conversation starter, something that stands out and generates conversation,” she says. “Maybe a piece brought back from travel, a vintage find or a piece that has been passed down from older generations.”

As the home becomes an even bigger part of where people spend time, Jimenez sees changes to how they’ll choose to fashion their spaces. She predicts a movement away from one-size-fits-all furniture stores in favor of long-lasting pieces that will age well.

“The future of residential design will be focused on spaces that are timeless, comfortable, adaptable, unique and sculptural.

Designers will continue to source pieces that have a story to tell. And people will continue looking for unique pieces that are long lasting and can easily be adapted through the evolution of design,” she says.

Statement art and furniture can allow a room to feel “timeless and alive,” like in this private residence in Miami’s South of Fifth neighborhood, Jimenez says.

Post-Pandemic Design Clients, after spending an extended period at home, are demanding new amenities, so architects and interior designers are adapting to emerging realities.

Outdoor meditative space, by Richard Landry

ROGER DAVIES

A

fter mandated lockdowns suddenly forced people to conduct every aspect of their lives from their homes, new spatial and aesthetic preferences have emerged, and luxury designers are listening. Routines adopted during the pandemic, including working or learning remotely and movie dates at home, are certain to endure long after this crisis passes, so new home design and construction will need to accommodate those behaviors.

A major trend among urban dwellers — particularly in high-density cities like New York and San Francisco where square footage is precious — is a newfound craving for space.

While it may not be a permanent readjustment, this has resulted in an incredibly hot real estate market in the suburbs, particularly in the tri-state region of metro New York where people are desperate to trade their tiny Manhattan flats for more spacious suburban homes.

The new environs may lack the energy and sex appeal of the city, but suburban homes provide space for a family to spread out and pursue their own interests. Even diminutive condominiums, however, are evolving as architects and interior designers create new floor plans and amenities to accommodate the shifting priorities of pandemic-wary clients.

Presented by designer Anelle Gandelman, the kitchen is as important as ever.

This functional, aesthetically pleasing home office was created by A-List Interiors.

Suddenly important in any remodel of an existing residence or design of a new home is a dedicated home office, a comfortable space where a worker can participate in Zoom meetings — an aesthetically pleasing, noncontroversial backdrop is a priority here — without toddlers or pets crashing the video conference.

Home offices used to be almost an afterthought, but now these spaces are absolutely essential, and larger residences may have hisand-hers, or multiple offices in which to conduct business, participate in nonprofit activities or attend virtual lectures. For luxury residential environments designed for entrepreneurs or executives, a home office should rival the digs any Fortune 500 CEO enjoys in a high-rise C-Suite.

While open-concept floor plans have been trending for a couple decades, the lockdown — the first extended period of time some family members have ever spent together — has made both clients and designers more conscious of private spaces. “With parents working from home and kids studying at home, the pandemic strengthened the bonds of the family unit, but also stress-tested them,” says acclaimed architect Richard Landry, who notes the need for private spaces has been rediscovered by homebound residents. Architects and designers

are now looking for a balance between spaces that foster togetherness, and those that offer relative seclusion.

Landry and his Los Angeles-based Landry Design Group (LDG) specialize in luxury residences, both traditional and modern, and are already incorporating many of the architectural elements consumers discovered they needed during the lockdown. While much of his work caters to an ultra-high-end market, Landry’s insights are relevant to all price points.

“Our work informs us that the needs and desires of residents are somewhat universal, whether one resides in a high-rise tower, suburban subdivision or sprawling estate,” reports Landry. Recognizing the pandemic changed attitudes among clients, he says, “I hope many of the spaces and elements LDG has created over the years can inspire all architects and homeowners as they address new realities.”

Landry also states that homeowners yearn for unique destinations within their residences, spaces serving specific purposes that enhance one’s life. That could be a room dedicated to one’s creative pursuits, a space for working out or one designed for meditation or spirituality. Most of LDG’s projects feature expansive floor plans, but the firm’s signature of incorporating intimate 37

spaces proved invaluable during months of living out of one’s home.

The role of the kitchen, whose status as a gathering spot had become increasingly significant over the past two decades, emerged as an even more important space during the pandemic.

The closure of their favorite restaurants forced many people to reacquaint themselves with the culinary arts. Landry emphasizes the need for additional creative spaces beyond the kitchen, as homebound residents have also discovered the joys of handcrafted pottery, jewelry design or furniture making.

Miami-based Taylor & Taylor, founded by architect William Taylor and his interior designer wife Phyllis Taylor, applies both traditional and modern themes to commissions throughout Florida, the Eastern Seaboard and the Caribbean.

The couple, who have been partners in life and business for 40-plus years, were forced from their collaborative office space in the Wynwood Arts District to their own residence during the pandemic, which helped them appreciate the unique spatial requirements for efficiently

interactive workout mirrors and bikes in rooms used for other purposes as well. She reports that the aesthetics of some exercise equipment has become so elevated that it need not be hidden. Taylor is also seeing a newfound priority on previously underutilized outdoor spaces, reporting, “Some clients are wanting to redo these spaces into outdoor living areas, changing everything — the swimming pool, patio, hardscaping, ventilation system, furniture — and I don’t see that trend going away.”

Designer Anelle Gandelman, founding principal of New York’s A-List Interiors, a firm providing turnkey new construction and renovation projects throughout the tri-state area and beyond, believes many lessons have been learned from the lockdown. “People are shifting their focus to rooms they didn’t prioritize in the past,” says Gandelman. “They’re now spending more money on home offices and also patios, where they feel more comfortable entertaining.”

While lockdown experiences are making some designers question the open-concept home design in favor of more private spaces, Phyllis Taylor counters, “It’s not the death of the open floor plan because people don’t like boxes connected by a hallway.” Taylor insists that sliding doors can create different “sound zones,” offering privacy without the kind of isolation that some workers experience in a home office, especially those accustomed to collaborating with colleagues.

“There needs to be a flexibility of spaces, and rooms don’t necessarily need to be dedicated to a single purpose,” explains Taylor, who adds, “There are ways to utilize spaces in a more fluid sense.” While she does not see an isolated, claustrophobic office as the only place to conduct business, the designer definitely places a premium on proper lighting and acoustics for whatever room is adapted for work.

Taylor recognizes the trend of exercising at home instead of at a communal gym, but notes that flexible spaces can accommodate high-tech

Gandelman confirms the much-hyped flight from New York City to the suburbs, as homebuyers are craving outdoor spaces. “Some people are essentially buying a backyard and a pool, and whatever house that comes with it they’ll take,” quips the designer, who notes clients who used to take luxury vacations are now investing more in renovations. While the kitchen has always been a focal point, Gandelman reports strong interest in pantries and prep kitchens — not only for stocking up supplies, but for tucking small appliances out of sight.

Some designers suggest that the grand, ballroom-like spaces that have long been de rigueur in ultra-luxury residences now command a diminished premium as we emerge from the pandemic. Moving forward, even owners of 20,000-square-foot homes are likely to request a variety of more intimate, livable spaces.

“People now have a greater appreciation for how their home functions than how it looks,” says Gandelman, who adds, “It’s not just about showing off.”

Emphasizing her clientele’s shifting

For home offices, Gandelman reports a new focus on lighting and window treatment to create a flattering and acoustically beneficial environment for Zoom meetings, and believes the once-popular “homework room” with multiple desks is losing its appeal as each child now needs a desk in his or her own bedroom for greater privacy. Gandelman, whose designs typically reflect tailored, uncluttered aesthetics, also accommodates homeowners’ interests in moving exercise rooms from the basement to the first floor where they can benefit from natural lighting.

While all designers are addressing a renewed interest in exercise opportunities at home, Richard Landry places a high priority on dedicated workout spaces, preferably integrated with the outdoors. “Spaces within the home that promote health and wellness are highly valued, and future designs would account for that,” says the prominent architect. The 10-week wait for Peloton bikes that consumers are currently experiencing in some markets confirms the sustainability of the working-out-at-home trend.

priorities, Gandelman suggests, “People still want their homes to be beautiful and stylish, but now they also want them to be comfortable. She explains, “The increased interest in functionality and comfort is making the role of the interior designer more essential. It’s no longer simply focused on making things look pretty.”

While sprawling luxury homes have always included a state-of-the-art media room, even more modest residences will now include a space in which a large screen and premium audio technology are priorities. During the lockdown, people binged on Netflix and Disney+ like never before, and that may not entirely subside in the post-pandemic world.

While so much of 2020 has been lost to the pandemic, America’s top designers are surprisingly optimistic about the possibilities presented for innovations in residential design as the world moves beyond this crisis. Challenging times often generate fresh approaches while awakening a greater sensitivity to quality of life issues, and that is likely to apply to emerging housing environments.

The First Starchitect

By Roger Grody

The enduring legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s original celebrity architect, continues to inspire residential architects today.

to materiality and emphasis on the integration of the landscape provides a very important legacy,” says Alter, who suggests Wright’s ethos of connecting to open spaces is particularly timely in the COVID-19 era.

Donna Gabanski, a Wright expert and tour director at the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC), reports the legendary architect’s imprint is all over the Windy City, including Prairie-style residences such as the Robie House and FLW’s own home/studio in suburban Oak Park.

Commenting on Wright’s legacy, Gabanski explains, “One reason for his enduring influence is that he had such a long career. He kept evolving and reinventing himself.”

Gabanski notes that FLW was rediscovered by preservation groups in the 1970s and 1980s, and that last year a body of his work, including several signature residences, was enshrined as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some contemporary architects, even when dismissing Wright as too mainstream to be cool, emulate him. “Their work may not look like Wright houses, but the philosophies — fitting the natural setting, bringing the outdoors in and even sustainability — have references back to Frank Lloyd Wright,” says Gabanksi.

The sleek, horizontally oriented profiles

of Wright’s Prairie-style homes were remarkably modern considering they emerged just after the turn of the century, years before Ford introduced the Model T. Their timelessness has spawned a “Modern Prairie” style that is popular today, particularly in the Midwest. One contemporary practitioner inspired by Wright’s Prairie houses is Stephen Jaskowiak, founding principal of West Studio in suburban Chicago, whose homes combine the master’s themes with new materials and technologies.

A specialist in the Modern Prairie style, Jaskowiak’s designs are derivative of Wright’s houses, but offer brighter interiors and possess the kitchens and bathrooms that contemporary families appreciate. “Some of my clients were considering purchasing a Frank Lloyd Wright home in the area, but after evaluating the maintenance costs, called me instead,” reports Jaskowiak. Some West Studio clients prefer less of the copious woodwork typical in Wright’s original Prairie houses, an option Jaskowiak refers to as “Prairie Light.”

Jaskowiak reminds us that many of Wright’s concepts have become mainstream in contemporary homes, such as the openconcept floor plan (“breaking the box” in FLW nomenclature), corner windows and the blurring

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

ost contemporary expressions of modernism — spectacular residences perched in the Hollywood Hills or sleek structures whose glass walls reveal expansive views of Miami’s Biscayne Bay — are all, arguably, products of Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision. His disciples, such as mid-century modernists John Lautner, Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra, energized a generation of designers and even those graduating from architecture school today appreciate the relevance of FLW, the godfather of American modernism.

Kevin Alter, the Sid W. Richardson Centennial Professor at the School of Architecture at the University of Texas in Austin, describes Wright as an incredibly important figure whose philosophies of design continue to be relevant.

Some of Alter’s own modern residential work — the professor is the founding partner of Alterstudio Architecture in Austin — reflects concepts that were first pioneered by Wright.

“Wright’s architecture engaged with the outdoors and experientially related to the world in ways that were quite dramatic,” reports Alter.

He explains that while Wright’s European counterparts in the modern movement focused on abstractions, craftsmanship afforded the American architect’s work a sense of richness. “His attention

touched the land,” explains James, who adds, “We had a similar reverence for the land but used a different approach.”

One of the reasons Wright’s work is so admired is that he contributed to an authentically American architectural tradition, with the Wisconsin native adapting his work to the plains of the Midwest before conquering the Arizona desert and burgeoning metropolis of Los Angeles.

His style expressed an American independence while celebrating the natural environment.

Wright had a penchant for Japanese aesthetics and culture, but his architectural expression represented a uniquely American perspective.

It is remarkable how many modernists practicing today have been inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, and even those who do not specifically acknowledge it may cite one of his many disciples as their idols. Even some who believe their work is absolutely original (a near-impossible feat in any field of art) may be

subconsciously influenced by Wright, who was a century ahead of his time.

Nonetheless, FLW-designed homes sometimes linger on the market, although they certainly capture plenty of attention. Because they were not designed for 21st-century family lifestyles and many jurisdictions prohibit necessary renovations, it is sometimes best if cultural institutions acquire these properties, as they are more likely to restore them and share them with the public. Examples include the Freeman House in L.A., bequeathed to the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California, and the Robie House, which is occupied by The University of Chicago’s alumni association.

Last year, Paula Martin of Keller Williams Luxury International listed the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Kalil House in Manchester, New Hampshire, ultimately selling the 1,406-squarefoot Usonian house to the Currier Museum of Art, which already owned another on the same

of borders between indoors and out. “When I was in architecture school, postmodernism was the craze, but I was drawn to the influences of Wright,” says Jaskowiak, who grew up in Greater Chicago where Prairie-style houses are an essential part of the city’s architectural heritage.

One of Wright’s most iconic homes, Fallingwater in Pennsylvania is perhaps the ultimate example of an architect integrating the built environment with nature, a consistent FLW doctrine. The home, with its horizontal lines, large expanses of glass and open-air terraces, is built over a 30-foot waterfall and complements, rather than overwhelms, the extraordinary site. Travel + Leisure magazine proclaimed Fallingwater as “one of the 12 landmarks that will change the way you see the world,” while National Geographic Traveler designated it as a “Place of a Lifetime.”

“Fallingwater, designed in 1935 for the Kaufmann family of Pittsburgh as a mountain retreat, is Frank Lloyd Wright’s tour de force and the architect’s primary expression of what he called ‘organic architecture,’” explains Justin Gunther, director of Fallingwater. “The result is a house unlike any other that has the power to demonstrate how people can respect, and live in harmony with, the natural world,” adds Gunther.

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is a national architectural firm whose clients include high-tech giants, universities and cultural centers. Its team also creates some stunning modern residences — many ensconced in pristine natural environments — and designer Bill James suggests some inspiration can be traced to Frank Lloyd Wright.

“We all owe a great debt of gratitude to him and much of our work as contemporary architects stands on Wright’s shoulders,” he states.

James, whose childhood visit to Fallingwater proved inspirational, was attracted to Bohlin Cywinski Jackson as a young architect because the firm’s humane brand of modernism embodied many of the principals Wright incorporated into his work. “In our practice, we appreciate the use of natural materials and the impact their expressions emote,” says the designer, who insists, “Wright was a master at that.”

In 2014, James became project manager for High Meadow at Fallingwater, a lodging facility for in-residence scholars on a farm adjacent to the iconic FLW landmark. It was a homecoming of sorts for James, who stayed on that very site as an architecture student, and concedes it was a daunting task to design a building in the shadow of an international architectural treasure. “Like Wright, we were very interested in how we

street. The Usonian houses were a series of about 60 homes Wright designed for middle-income buyers, starting in the 1930s, and Usonian Automatic residences like the Kalil House were built in the 1950s.

Wright intended the Automatics, which were essentially modular kits, to bring affordable style to the suburbs, but construction proved too complex for the mass production he envisioned.

Wright expert Gabanski reports that even the early Usonian residences, with their one-story format and pioneering use of a carport, greatly influenced the suburban ranch house that became a postWorld War II American staple.

“It’s like magic in this house, and it was such a privilege to have been associated with it,” says Martin of the Kalil residence, and reports

that after a brief pre-market period, the property sold in 13 days to the Currier Museum. It was priced at $850,000 — the agent notes that an ordinary home of this size might be listed under $200,000 — and was ultimately sold for $970,000. “With a home so unique, casting a net very far and wide was the best way to generate a diverse array of buyers,” explains Martin, who received interest from as far away as China and Sweden. “You either get it or you don’t,” says Martin of the property, who adds, “And if you do, you just stand there in awe.”

While American residential architecture has never been so dynamic and diverse, there are no contemporary practitioners with the stature of Frank Lloyd Wright. Alter reports a strong tradition of modern architecture in Austin, noting

the Texas capital has one of the most innovative design communities in the nation. Meanwhile, the modern portfolios of architects Richard Landry, Zoltan Pali and William Hefner reflect the wealth of coastal modernism that has swept through L.A. Pritzker Prize-winning architects Norman Foster, Renzo Piano and Frank Gehry (perhaps the only contemporary American architect approaching household name status) are bona fide celebrities, yet none have permeated society like Frank Lloyd Wright. In addition to his architecture, Wright was also a prominent furniture maker, textile specialist and overall master of the decorative arts whose work has inspired many of today’s great designers.

Among those who clearly have been influenced by Wright are potter, author and entrepreneur Jonathan Adler, celebrity designer Kelly Wearstler and Brooklyn-based furniture artisan Eric Chang. The aesthetics of FLW are so ubiquitous that Amazon lists more than 500 gifts — many carrying images of the master’s distinctive leaded glass designs — dedicated to the architect, from coasters, napkins and mugs to jigsaw puzzles, clocks and neckties.

Even his detractors must acknowledge that 60 years after his death, Frank Lloyd Wright remains the most famous architect in America.

The Fox & Stone Nestled in rural Washington, Jeana Rushton, lead designer and co-owner of The Fox and Stone with her husband Jared Rushton, shares their company mission: to show that beautiful doesn’t mean altered. Inspired by a love of traveling, Rushton bases her designs on the beauty of the Earth. “In all my travels, I have realized this truth: the places most breathtaking in the world are those most untouched by man,” Rushton says. “We strive to simply encase a ‘bit of earth’ (as I like to call our raw stones) in such a way that showcases their innate beauty, while not detracting with too intricate or rigid of a design. Our goal is to be the best stewards of the beauty given us by the stone, so a lot of our designs looked pulled from the earth

or grown out of trees.”

Rushton has been creating raw jewelry for over a decade, starting with a dream of earrings one dark, stormy night, and evolving into a creative outlet and form of art therapy for her mental health. Over time, she found herself drawn to natural stones in their unaltered state, and after visiting Tucson in 2016, her love of raw gemstones was solidified. “Their beauty spoke to me in a way that a cut stone never has, and I realized something deeper about myself and those around me: we don’t have to be altered to be stunning,” Rushton says. “This is the principle my company was founded on, and the ideas that we strive to foster in our jewelry and our clients.

We accept and love absolutely everyone in a judgement-free sphere of design and creativity.”

Over the years, Rushton has developed a relationship with stone suppliers from all over the world for her jewelry. “I work exclusively with a female diamond cutter in India who owns her own business and works with stones that are both ethically mined, and Kimberly certified,”

Rushton explains. Rushton also loves scouting for gems at the Tucson Gem show, one of the largest international gem shows in the world. According to Rushton, “It’s a treat to spend time wandering around looking for, quite literally, the hidden gems. I seek out as many direct miners as possible so I’m supporting the people doing the work.”

As for her favorite raw stones to work with, Rushton is drawn to opals, and even has a connection to one of her favorite pieces. “When I was first beginning to work with opals, I had one crack into three pieces,” Rushton says. “I was frustrated until I realized that, though small, each part was flashy and stunning. I took the three pieces and set them into three rings — one each for myself, my mom, and my sister. We each still wear our opals every day as a reminder that we are unique, yet connected.”

Opals were love at first sight for Rushton, describing each unique stone she works with as an adventure. “I am a little greedy in the sense that I relish being the one to draw out the beauty, fire and flash of a rough opal as I work it on my

lapidary wheel,” Rushton explains. Over the years of working with opals, Rushton developed her own style of polishing the delicate stones. “I refer to [it] as a ‘rough polish’, which means I polish the stone just enough to draw out the inner beauty without altering the rough state of the stone,” Rushton says. “This allows the opal to shine still as a raw stone, but we’ve coaxed out the inner shine.”

A close second to opals, Rushton has a soft spot for raw diamonds and chrysoprase, explaining, “The little bits of earth trapped in the diamonds when they’re forming create a striking galaxy of patterns that capture and ignite the imagination. Chrysoprase is a favorite of mine because the color always makes me smile. The stone just brings me joy.”

To create their copper, silver, vermeil, and solid gold settings, Rushton specializes in a process known as electroforming, and her husband Jared specializes in casting. Rushton loves the unpredictability of electroforming, but adds it comes with its own frustrations. “It took 45

RAW and LUXE by Olivia Mar Based out of sunny San Diego, California, Olivia Mar, founder and artisan of RAW and LUXE by Olivia Mar, sources inspiration for her pieces from using Earth’s raw, untouched gems in her designs. “The Earth creates them perfectly imperfect — it is not necessary to change them in any way,” Mar says. “Using raw gems captures the true essence of the Earth’s beauty. I believe you should not alter something so pure and beautiful.”

This special connection to our planet is one of RAW and LUXE’s foundations. From everyday jewelry to bridal pieces, Mar creates jewelry designs that she views as having a personal piece of the Earth. “Raw gemstones open a door to a world of mysterious and dazzling magic,” Mar explains. “They provide a powerful connection between the Earth’s energy and human aura. Raw gemstones revitalize your body, mind, and spirit.

Rooted in nature, they soothe as they manifest balance, connection and peace.”

Each stone that Mar works with has a unique story behind its origin and its purpose.

“According to legend, it is said that raw diamonds are tears of the gods or fallen pieces of stars,” Mar says. “The alluring nature and rarity of the raw diamond has kept humanity utterly captivated.

Raw diamond is called the King of Gems, unique in its powerful light energy. Its name is derived from Greek mythology — Adamas, meaning ‘untamable’ and ‘fearlessness.’”

Mar also utilizes Blue Apatite, “a deeply spiritual stone, as it has a cleansing influence on the aura. Blue Apatite has an uplifting energy that raises spirits and vibrations, encouraging positivity and hope.” Black Tourmaline, another striking gem, is “void of light” and “is of all spectrum of the rainbow.” And Boulder Opal “dazzles with

us over a year of experimenting to develop a style of casting that looked similar to the organic style of electroforming,” Rushton says. “We have also begun adding a lot of natural elements to our cast designs, creating a new style that still has a rough organic edge, but looks like a piece of nature surrounded a stone rather than it being pulled out of the ground.”

When people wear Fox & Stone’s jewelry, Rushton wants them to feel one word: free. “I want people who wear my jewelry to feel heard,” Rushton says. “To know that they have a piece that was designed for them with their singularity and flaws (like those in the stones), celebrated for the facet of human history they represent, that no one else ever has or ever will.”

pure brilliance, as a streak of magical lightning infused with a heavenly aurora.”

To craft her bands, Mar uses copper for her RAW line, and gold for her LUXE line.

“Copper is a delicate metal, and forming it to capture RAW’s ‘perfectly imperfect look’ requires hours of attention. The result is a ring that is purely unique and irreplaceable,” Mar explains.

On the other hand, LUXE gold “represents the ultimate celebration of love, and eminence of nobility throughout history.” To create the band, “pure molten metal is poured into a wax mold, which then is melted, and drained away, leaving a gleaming, precious ring band. This method is referred to as the lost-wax casting process, in

Mar is committed to the ethical sourcing of her gemstones, which are never lab grown, dyed, or heat-treated to preserve the natural state of each gemstone. “I work hand in hand with gem hobbyists and trusted families who personally travel for and mine gems in small amounts,” Mar says. “Standard gem mining causes environmental destruction, severely devastating the land and water. Many mines exploit workers, children, and communities causing poverty and human rights abuses. Always ethically and sustainably sourced, RAW and LUXE by Olivia Mar diamonds and gemstones are conflict-free and glimmering with uncompromised beauty.”

As for her favorite piece, Mar has a clearcut winner. “Artemis, available through LUXE, [she] belongs to those with wild hearts and untamed spirits,” Mar says. “The shield diamond is expertly cut to brilliantly reflect light and make a striking statement. The added array of glittering diamonds adds a breathtaking style unlike anything conventional. Artemis has redefined what unique style is.”

Mar’s overall jewelry design goal is to defy the ordinary. “They’re designed to be modern with an elegant, harmonious vibe — as beautiful as the feeling of being loved,” Mar explains. “With one-of-a-kind cuts and symmetry, uncompromised beauty has never looked so perfect.”

Joy & Happiness

By Marlene Ridgway

After studying ceramics in Bucharest Andreea Braescu has crafted a specific emotion-led approach to her art that aims to recreate the spirit and energy of nature, even indoors.

A

Each one of the leaves is oriented after the light of the sun, and each leaf has its own position and shape. You can find the same natural movement in my light sculptures.

I try to replicate nature’s skill of creating harmony through apparent randomness, and machine-made pieces would always have an element of uniformity that’s the antipode of that.

Every element of every chandelier or bespoke light installation is a one-off and completely unique … as is every finished piece.

How would you describe your style? How has your style transformed over the years?

My work is rooted in the beauty and complexity of the natural world, especially the way it creates harmony through apparent randomness.

The most distinctive attribute of my style is that I consciously erase manufacturing conformity from my work. Irregularity and individuality are two main characteristics that are encountered in living nature. If you look at the leaves of a tree, you cannot find a regular pattern.

When did you first begin sculpting and what inspired you to do so?

I started sculpting as a young child, basically playing around with my mom, who is a sculptor. However, when I moved into ceramics, the work became more complex, as it involves steps that are akin to sculpting, such as building prototypes and molds as well. Yet, working with porcelain is also different as it changes its shape during high temperatures, which you must learn how to anticipate.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ANDREEA BRAESCU

ndreea Braescu, a Romanian artist, grew up living and breathing art, and now sculpts with the finest porcelain — notoriously difficult to tame — to create her bespoke light installations. Surrounded by her grandparents (who are painters), her mother (a sculptor), and her father (a designer), the artist and designer now handmakes delicate lighting installations and more at her self-named studio, Andreea Braescu Porcelain and Light Installations.

Braescu uses natural moss and flower backdrops to weave together the natural world with the handcrafted and create harmony in any environment or space.

When creating a new piece or installation, how do you begin the process? Do you follow the same steps every time or is each project different?

Each installation is unique, meticulously crafted with individuality and a form of its own to fit each client’s space. Bespoke light sculptures define the core of my work. My philosophy is always the same: I know I have succeeded when my work evokes joy and happiness. But the size and scope of my bespoke light sculptures are different for every client.

I use technology and modern techniques, but ultimately everything must be handmade.

That is essential to staying true to my vision of replicating nature’s skill of creating harmony through apparent randomness.

What is your favorite part of the process and why?

I like the concept creation part very much.

Such as when I sketch a bespoke light sculpture

to fit a customer’s space and try to transform and elevate its mood. But I have to say that the highlight is always the installation at the customer site, where I can see the vision in my head finally materializing.

Have you worked with other materials?

What do you enjoy most about working with porcelain?

I worked with different materials, but the idea of making lighting objects out of porcelain came naturally, because the porcelain I use is the finest of its kind, with a translucency that’s unequaled. There is also an interplay between light and this porcelain that creates the mood and emotions I want to convey.

What is the most challenging element of your work?

The uniqueness of each light sculpture is certainly the most challenging, but also the most rewarding aspect.

Ginkgo leaves are prominent throughout your collections.

What attracted your attention to them specifically?

The Gingko Biloba has thrived throughout history and is a potent symbol of vitality and longevity. In fact, it’s considered a living fossil, because it’s remained unchanged for more than 200 million years! That continuity and serenity spoke very powerfully to me. The idea that I could replicate even a fraction of the Gingko’s energy was really a beautiful challenge to me.

Can you describe a memorable project that stands out in your mind and why?

One special work that comes into my mind is a 15-meter light installation for the passway of a new hotel in Paris. It serves an important purpose, as it represents the connection between the reception area and the main building, so every hotel guest who is entering the hotel has the experience of walking through this “organic tunnel.”

Another one is a light sculpture for a large living room of a palace in Abu Dhabi, belonging to the royal family. This work contains a blend of matte porcelain and gold pieces, being both modern as well as representative or the oriental opulence.

One other representative work is a light sculpture for a 10-meter-high foyer of a new villa in Dallas, Texas. The light sculpture is surrounded by glass walls with a magnificent view over the city skyline.

Also, for a Moscow client, I did two separate light sculptures in the central open space of the penthouse, one over the dining table, and the other one over the kitchen island. This was an interesting project, as the two installations were in proximity to each other and needed to complement each other.

What projects are you currently working on?

Magnolia. It is always about a feeling. For me, nothing is more joyful than seeing the first magnolia flowers in spring: graceful, delicate, and exuberant. We associate magnolia flowers with optimism, freshness, and beauty that burst into our lives.

Magnolia flowers are by nature ephemeral, their beauty fleeting. In re-creating their fragility and exquisite form in porcelain, I hope to capture their joy and energy forever, bringing a 50

sense of freshness, uplift, and wellbeing to any interior space.

Do you have a dream project in mind that you hope to create one day?

I really love the work of architect Tadao Ando, so I dream to have one of my light sculptures in a quiet and elegant space created by him.

What inspires you when you are feeling unmotivated or stuck on a project?

I certainly experienced obstacles several times during a project, but I can’t say that I lose motivation. Somehow, the initial vision I have during concept creation magically drives me to succeed and see the vision turn into reality. Visualizing the completed work is really the most powerful motivator for me.

The Ginkgo Collection, a bespoke series of suspended lighting sculptures, taps into the principles of living nature and the life-sustaining relationship between sun and tree.

Each chandelier and custom-made installation is created using fine bone china, which is an especially translucent phosphatic porcelain.
