Editor’s Letter

Coming Up: A Time for Change

C

h-ch-ch-ch changes,” sang David Bowie back in 1971, and continued, “Turn and face the strange.” After fourteen years with New England Home—eleven of those years spent guiding the publication’s course as editor-inchief—my own time to turn and face the strange has arrived. I’ve decided that it feels like the right moment for me to embark on my life’s next chapter.

Or, more accurately, to step back, decompress just a bit, and give some serious consideration to what the next chapter of my life ought to be.

Needless to say, that’s a bittersweet resolution to make, simultaneously pregnant with possibility and tinged with regret. Since I joined the magazine’s launch team in 2005, New England Home has been the primary focus of my existence. Working with our incredible staff, with an awesome family of freelance photographers and writers, and with the many gifted, warmhearted professionals to be found in our region’s home design and building commu-

nity has been a privilege and an ongoing delight.

Still, as one of those motivational posters might ask, almost certainly printed beneath the image of a timid kitten clambering gamely toward the summit of some household obstacle: if not now, when? A later line from Bowie’s song asserts, “Pretty soon now you’re gonna get older,” and I find I can’t argue with that. So I’m off to look for new challenges and search out new opportunities to use some of the knowledge and experience gained during my tenure here.

I am deeply proud of the work we have done since this publication’s founding, and proud of the way New England residential design itself has progressed over that time. We live in a significantly different world of home style today. Both design projects and the people who imagine and create them have grown in adventurousness and diversity. New England Home’s role as a showcase and advocate for the very best residential work has almost certainly contributed to the industry’s strong position today.

The next voice you encounter on this editor’s page will belong to Clinton Smith, a friend and colleague of mine over the past decade. You may already be familiar with Clint as the former editor of the design publication Veranda in New York. Clint has a real understanding of great residential design, and long experience doing our kind of journalism.

Being able to leave New England Home in such well-informed, capable hands makes it much easier to let go.

With one last nod to David Bowie, I predict that time will change me, as it will change all of us. But the time we’ve had together is something I will always treasure.

EASTBAY SX 54

In Season

Captain’s Quarters

A designer makes her mark on the water.

Not many designers watch their projects cast off and sail away. But Newport, Rhode Island-based Ally Maloney is one of the exceptions. With degrees in interior design and interior yacht design and time logged working with well-known yacht builders, including the late, legendary Ted Hood’s company, Maloney is as at ease in a shipyard scaling a ladder to outfit a premium vessel as she is toting an armful of beautiful pillows into an upscale house.

In fact, many of Maloney’s clients have recruited her first for their yachts and then, charmed with the results, their homes.

Pressed to choose whether she prefers putting her skills toward land or sea, Maloney hesitates. “Loving them

MARLOW 97E

both allows me to blend my talents,” the thirty-year-old designer says.

“And the finished look for each is always high-end coastal.”

Blue, of course, is a favorite color for her clients. But Maloney deftly introduces a nautical theme minus the obvious, especially when it comes to, say, creating a handsome salon (a seaman’s term for the main gathering area down below). “No anchors, starfish, or seashells are needed. You’re already on a boat,” she points out.

The busy designer, who also has a retail shop in Newport and sits on the board of directors for ASID New England, recently flew to Turkey to help oversee the birth of a gorgeous new yacht. “Tiles, hardware, soft goods—there were lots of decisions to be made,” she says. “A boat, just like a house, needs to be comfortable and welcoming.” | Maloney Interiors, Newport, R.I., maloneyinteriors.com Eastbay SX 54 photos by Elaine Fredrick Photography Portrait by Robyn Ivy Photography

Essentials

A Winning Recipe

Old friends collaborate on a handsome new kitchen.

It was the classic New England transformation tale: a charming 100-year-old colonial with great bones that didn’t work for modern living. Especially the kitchen.

Fortunately, the owners had an ace up their sleeves: the wife was an old friend of Danielle McClure, who with her mother, Catherine Skaletsky, runs Catherine & McClure Interiors. “When it came to the interior design,” says the owner, “they knew us better than we knew ourselves.”

But before the designers could step in, Leaf Design Associates was commissioned to expand and open the kitchen, making it a hub for family activity and entertaining.

During a conversation about incorporating a breakfast bay with a built-in seat, Richard Leaf pitched a pavilion-gazebo-style nook with an octagonal roof. “It was a bit of a

| BY LISA H. SPEIDEL | 38 New England Home | July–August 2019

JA19 Trending.indd 38

leap of faith,” Leaf remembers, but the owners enthusiastically bit. Thirteen feet at its peak with a beadboard ceiling, it’s a dramatic focal point.

The owners’ willingness to trust their team comes through in the interior design as well. McClure and Skaletsky ran with an all-white palette for a light, airy look.

“We focused on the details to add layers of interest,” says McClure, noting the backs of the chinoiserie-style breakfast chairs, the criss-cross base of the table, and Aerin’s Hampton chandelier inspired by flowers and leaves. Marble countertops and an iridescent glass-tile backsplash round out the look, while a navy bench adds a hit of color in kid-friendly faux leather. An inviting reminder that this new kitchen is a perfect space for family to gather—or, in the case of the designers and homeowners, for old friends to reconnect. | Catherine & McClure Interiors, Boston, catherineandmcclure.com; Leaf Design Associates, Winchester, Mass., leafdesignassociates.com; ADK Construction, Medford, Mass., adk.construction Photography by Greg Premru

Rising Stars

Designing Women

A chance encounter leads to the launch of a leading-edge landscape design firm.

Some fifteen years ago, Trent Lloyd and Amy Fleischer met at a cocktail party in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Both women had recently moved to town—Lloyd from Alabama, and Fleischer from Alaska—and neither had friends in the area. Lloyd remembers being drawn to Fleischer’s bold pink poncho and her sense of humor.

At the time, Lloyd, an anthropology major with a master’s in landscape architecture, was working for herself, while Fleischer, who had left a career in software development research and design, was looking for a new challenge. They saw potential in partnering to create innovative landscapes: “I see things from a larger,

Fleischer, Lloyd, and Sunny

40 New England Home | July–August 2019

JA19 Trending.indd 40

anthropological perspective,” says Lloyd, “and Amy sees things through details.”

Today, as Lloyd Fleischer, the two collaborate on every project, from postagestamp–sized backyards in Newburyport to grander settings on Cape Cod. The common thread, says Fleischer, is that their projects are “not just about form and function, but how people feel and engage with and experience their landscape.” To this end, they envision their clients taking a participatory role—having a cup of coffee or watering the plants—in their surroundings.

While the pair eschews a singular style, they admit to gravitating toward simple materials and then incorporating bold gestures (say a diminutive and dark backyard writer’s cottage or a striking white custom fireplace), cool juxtapositions (think tall and lush arborvitae alongside sheared boxwood spheres), and a sense of fun.

Bold and fun—fitting that it was these very traits that first drew the two together at that cocktail party way back when. | Lloyd Fleischer, Wenham, Mass., lloydfleischer.com

Paper Trail

For Rhode Island artist Wendy Wahl, obsolete encyclopedias become fodder for a provocative discussion of contemporary knowledge.

Wendy Wahl goes for a daily walk in the • woods near her home and studio in Richmond,

the heart of Rhode Island’s rural South County. These meditative nature strolls are not so unusual for a New Englander living in the country, of course. But trees have become the central metaphor of Wahl’s artistic expression over the past decade and a half.

The forest provides Wahl with her favorite medium, through which she wants her audience “to question their relationship to the natural world.”

The Los Angeles native, who moved east to do graduate study in weaving at the Rhode Island School of Design, began working with deaccessioned Encyclopedias Britannica about a dozen years ago.

Just as digital media seemed to be supplanting a lot of printed material, Wahl fell in love with what she calls “the materiality of books,” and her work reexamines the power of words printed on paper.

“Paper can be permanent or transient, delicate or strong, cheap or expensive, abundant or scarce,” she

says. “It can be cut, bent, folded, crumpled, twisted, torn, glazed, waxed, pulped, or burned.” Her expression of what she sees as a “forest of knowledge” involves wall-hung panels onto which scrolled pages have been glued in a fashion one critic called “texturally reminiscent of tightly tiered cocktail napkins,” and a gallery packed with groves of twisting trunks and branches.

Artists have always restructured familiar elements in new ways, but Wahl’s deconstructed book pages assume the status of cultural artifacts. The arboreal presence in her landscapes, she says, defines “the patterns of relationships that link all of the earth’s species,” trees of knowledge that define the “branches of human thought realized in the form of writing.” Her intriguing patterns of folded, stacked, and glued paper are intrinsically

attractive, but they also force us to consider how we obtain, preserve, and disseminate knowledge.

Wahl is, nevertheless, a lot more than her encyclopedia groves. Her first major endeavor was WahlWorks Textiles, where her hand-printed silk-screened fabrics for the home-furnishings market were sold in New York, Boston, and on the West Coast. She did all of the printing herself until the line was so successful that she had to sub out part of the operation. She eventually decided to stop manufacturing and devote more time to artistic explorations. Textiles are still an important medium; her Period Dress, constructed of dupioni silk and chained wool, is currently part of an exhibition at the Palazzo Bembo in Venice, Italy.

Much of her current work consists of scrolled paper reliefs, such as the forty-four-by-seventy-inch piece called Strata that was recently commissioned for a biotech headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In thirty-five years, she has amassed a remarkable exhibition record, showing her work from Providence, San Francisco, and Boston to Wollongong, Australia. Her work is displayed in major collections, such as Cooper-Hewitt Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. She used to commute to New York to teach at Parsons School of Design, and has taught at her alma mater RISD, as well as at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.

It was at Haystack on Deer Isle, Maine, where Wahl met her husband, furniture maker and RISD professor John Dunnigan. They settled on three acres in a wooded area not too far from the University of Rhode Island. Their small house grew into an extended studio-home. It was here that their daughter was raised amidst a hive of artistic activity; Hannah is now a student in a dual program at RISD and Brown University.

With one foot in Los Angeles and frequent visits to New York, Wahl might not strictly be considered a regional artist. Yet she feels blessed to live in New England, with its proximity to important cultural centers and—mostly—because of her constant contact with countryside.

Wahl finds a refuge and source of renewal in the woods. Sad to report, infestations of gypsy and winter moths have denuded her beloved woods in recent years. Trees that offer shade and paper and spiritual sustenance have become threatened relics, like the superannuated encyclopedias, something to be remembered, and undoubtedly to be recycled in Wahl’s art.

Subtly Salty

Avoiding kitsch or cliché, a Newport home quietly references its purpose as a vacation spot in the seaside city. a designer in Newport, Rhode Island, •As a seaport city known for its cache of colonial

homes from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, Jocelyn Chiappone understandably does a lot of projects that involve a traditional coastal look. However, this one—the freshening up of a period-style home in the heart of Newport’s Historic Hill neighborhood—was decidedly different.

Her client, a single man in his thirties with a passion for entertaining, wanted a modern, masculine design with a neutral palette that honored his vacation home’s setting, but only subtly. “I told Jocelyn that I was looking for a California midcentury modern feel, but without sacrificing comfort and functionality,” he says.

“We didn’t want blue and white or anything super beachy or coastal,” Chiappone says.

The two-story, porch-fronted home fits seamlessly into its surroundings, but it’s actually a newer build, with an open floor plan on the first level and highpeaked bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs.

ABOVE: Textured surfaces breathe life into this downtown Newport home’s living room, with a linen sofa and leather armchairs signaling the designer’s delicate balance between comfort and masculinity. LEFT: Driftwood edging around a mirror provides subtle hints about the home’s nautical setting.

Metropolitan Life For Chiappone, the layout proved to be both a boon and a challenge. There was no need to knock down walls to create openness, but the main living area, she says, was a characterless white box. The solution was to transform one long, blank wall in the area destined to become the living room.

Builder Bob Ventura was commissioned to construct a built-in gas fireplace with a flat-panel TV over the mantel, flanked by a pair of window seats that tuck in between twin bookshelves filled with books and decorative objects. Ventura also built a matching section of tray ceiling parallel to an existing but off-center one to create symmetry between the room and the new fireplace. “The shiplap fireplace and built-ins give a much-needed focal point to the space,” Chiappone explains.

Save for adding some herringbone tile, the kitchen

“I TOLD JOCELYN THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR A CALIFORNIA MIDCENTURY MODERN FEEL, BUT WITHOUT SACRIFICING COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY,” SAYS THE CLIENT. was left alone. However, as Chiappone worked to infuse the neutral color scheme desired by the client with tactile character and variety, she added a trio of rattan barstools facing the granite countertop, complementing the organic feel of the living room furniture arrayed before the fireplace, the grasscloth covering the other three walls, and the woven-wood shades hung on every first-floor window.

“The grasscloth and rattan and driftwood elements add to a sense of place,” says Chiappone.

“There is a delicate balance of midcentury silhouettes for furnishings, varied textures, and patterns.”

In the sitting area, a beige linen sofa squares off

with an armchair and ottoman covered in velvet and a pair of butterscotch leather club chairs. “We added color and patterns in the carpet and toss pillows,” Chiappone notes.

“The large, chunky linen sofa is grounded by a Stark geometric rug, and the lounge chair adds bit of fun in a multi-colored velvet.”

At the center of the arrangement, a glass-topped table with a wavy, segmented base stands as an example—along with the seaworthy brass fittings on the leather chairs and the driftwood-edged mirror over the bar—of acknowledging but not overstating the home’s nautical setting.

Chiappone’s textural flourishes can also be found in the first-floor office, described as a cozy “away space” with a cork ceiling, walls, and distinctly un-office-like furniture, such as a director-style cowhide chair and filing cabinets crafted from rich, dark hardwood.

Contrasted with the relatively low clearance on the ground floor, the upstairs rooms are characterized by towering, skylighted ceilings, requiring some calculated design choices to bring the spaces to a comfortable scale.

Paradise Transformed

An already-special property becomes a seaside Eden with a landscape plan that celebrates and protects the spectacular surroundings.

potential in every way possible. At the same time, however, the fragile coast requires protection. For the new owners of this Duxbury, Massachusetts, home, balancing the two was particularly challenging.

Their just-over-an-acre parcel was tight, the coastal restraints were stringent, and the existing lackluster 1970s house didn’t meet their needs or live up to its dazzling location.

The couple, who entertain frequently, envisioned a welcoming nest in tune with their modern aesthetic where friends and family could gather indoors and out. To achieve that sort of livability and functionality, there was no option but to raze the dated house and reimagine the grounds. Every available inch of the lot was required to gain space for soak-up-theview activities. “We needed to shoehorn as much stone terrace and other elements into the property as we could, but still make it feel like it was blended into the coastal landscape,” explains landscape architect Sean Papich. All this, remember, while adhering to the Conservation Commission’s restrictions.

Still, the team was undaunted. Campbell Smith Architects designed a light-filled house that pulls in stunning vistas at every turn. And Papich, along with the project’s senior landscape architect, Scott

Garvin, zoomed ahead with introducing a range of life-enhancing elements from terraces to steppingstone lawn areas.

Drifts of hardy grasses and perennials elevate the waterfront property in a manner that reflects the

owners’ fresh approach and befits the surroundings.

Blue hydrangea, billowing catmint, and sedum—the classic favorites—are here. But there’s also a wealth of new native plants. Papich installed varieties like bayberry, beach plum, and switchgrass to revegetate the coastal buffer and help stabilize the shore.

The new pool lies where the garage once sat. No ordinary straight-edge pool, this one incorporates a bluestone retaining wall from which fountains (or as Papich labels them, “scuppers”) pour a constant musical stream of water. Above, a line of privacyenhancing junipers creates a ribbon of green. And on the pool’s opposite side, where the terrace widens, a

pervious grid of bluestone and grass mitigates storm water runoff and acts as a decorative surround for the spa—the ultimate ocean-viewing spot.

If the sun is too fierce or the evening demands a cozy fire, the architects also designed a pool house that features a protected outdoor sitting area, a wet bar, and a changing room. Unlike the sleek home, this timber-frame structure with its stone fireplace has an appealing rustic quality that, according to architect and project manager Christopher DeOrsay, “recollects an assembly of New England farm buildings.” The contrast between country pool house and

home’s twenty-first-century vibe, spaced horizontal board (at the property’s perimeter) and long-lasting black metal mesh with a cedar frame (abutting the stone walls) come together to give the whole composition a slightly edgy feel, he says. In the same vein, the rounded stone used for the walls is a mixed granite that, unlike traditional fieldstone, conveys an of-the-moment character.

On the sloping lawn across from the pool area, an angled pit with a base of crushed stone (another pervious surface) houses a host of solar panels sup-

plying electricity for the house, pool house, and pool area. The ecological feature underscores the owner’s environmental awareness and goes a long way in making the property’s beautiful and innovative transformation a smart design feat in every sense.

That was one of the owner’s big requests.” Indeed, the new garage could have been

larger, but that would have meant cutting down a much-loved apple tree.

away from the windows, and no curtains obscure the vistas.

Instead, the windows have motorized shades that recess completely into the ceiling.

Another Truman detail that invites the outside in: the kitchen backsplash is actually a long horizontal window. “It brings more light and a sense of nature into the kitchen,” she explains.

Truman also took her interior design cues from the home’s lushly forested location. Inspired by the birch bark and snow she saw on walks in the nearby woods, her palette comprises mostly cool, clean whites and grays. She chose to offset these tones with a floor of rustic, character-grade hickory. “The hickory gives the inside a warm, comfortable feel,” she says. “It keeps

the contemporary design from being too stark.”

Happily, the owner agrees. “I love the house,” he told her recently. “I really appreciate how elegant the solution was to the multiple things I was trying to achieve.”

Challenge met—and mastered.

Concept Building What inspires your work?

Jeff: The process of steering many different people in the same direction to achieve a common goal is my favorite part of construction. The challenge of integrating the tradespeople and planning, for example, where an outlet pokes through a backsplash with no margin for error is so rewarding when you get it right!

What is your business philosophy?

Alan: The truth will set you free.

C

oncept Building was founded in 2009 with a passion for using the home to improve everyday life. Jeff Capello and Alan Baima have a sense of duty and exceedingly high expectations of themselves. These lofty intentions emanate from the core principles around which the original business model was formed and continues to blossom. Direct communication, integrity, and the sincere willingness to do right by our clients is what separates us as a building company.

Since its founding, Concept Building has taken pride in an ability to satisfy the demands of the client, the vision of the architect, and the reality of the budget. Getting and keeping everyone on the same page from the outset is our role and the most important and rewarding part of home building.

New England is a unique region that requires specific methods and materials to ensure long-term success. Fine home residential construction finishes is an evolving and thriving market we are lucky to be part of. We are knowledgeable in transitional and modern American construction finishes. New construction and large renovations are our areas of expertise.

If you desire a functioning home environment with modern materials and well-executed installations, our goals align. We are excited for your project. Our team will implement a plan to facilitate a clear process, understandable budget, and honest timeline.

What are your favorite current trends?

Jeff: Finally, outdoor kitchens have become more and more popular. I have had some great nights by the outdoor kitchens of some dear past clients.

What motivates you?

Alan: New products and applications within every project keep me interested.

I enjoy the consistency of tried and true methods mixed with the proper amount of new challenges. We are learning every single day.

Designer Draperies of Boston

What is your dream collaboration?

Being brought in at the beginning of a project is ideal. Then the size of a drapery stack, for example, won’t have an adverse effect on a designer’s furniture layout.

What is your business philosophy?

Provide superior quality products and exceptional customer service at the beginning, during, and after every project and earn a loyal client forever.

What inspires your work?

I love a challenge and the opportunity to use my problem-solving skills and creativity to find the perfect solution for someone else’s dilemma.

ulie Murphy took her first sewing class at the age of 10 and was hooked. Although she received a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in occupational therapy, her passion for sewing and her creativity caused her to pursue a different career path. She started her own drapery workroom in 2006, and through hard work and determination, purchased Designer Draperies of Boston in 2014, which had been serving the design community for over 25 years.

“It just felt like the natural path for me. I started out as a one-woman show, but the work continued to pour in, and I knew I could handle a larger operation. Fate brought me together with the previous owner, and the rest is history! I have such a rewarding profession. Being able to transform spaces, both functionally and aesthetically, through the manipulation of beautiful textiles is a gift. Nothing makes me happier than having a positive impact on someone else’s livelihood.

When I do my craft well, it directly reflects on the reputation of the designer, and I take that very seriously. We are in this together!

Koncerted What motivates you?

Ed: Finding seamless ways to integrate tech into our client’s lives is incredibly rewarding. We want the technology to simplify their routines, so they nearly forget it is even there in the first place and yet, is something they can’t live without.

What is your dream collaboration?

Blair: Our goal is to team up with the architects, builders, and designers during the design phase of the project, so we can provide our clients with the best possible solutions.

S

ix years ago, Blair Wallin (Co-founder, CEO) and Ed Webb (Co-founder, President) set out to start a company rooted in client-centric principles by taking a product-agnostic approach and focusing on providing robust post-install training/support.

Since the inception of the company, our scope has evolved with the rapidly changing field of technology. To date, our solutions include home automation, lighting control, shade automation, Wi-Fi networking, and camera surveillance. To combat entire systems becoming obsolete in a matter of years, we integrate reliable technology that gives clients the freedom and flexibility to update singular aspects of their home at their leisure.

Due to our tremendous growth, we’ve had the opportunity to expand our staffing to provide clients with exceptional service. Our director of experience assists clients with all their tech needs, whether it’s translating complicated tech-speak, adding a music service to their new iPad, or helping to set up a new printer. Our director of operations is available around the clock to ensure scheduling and communication is streamlined and clients have a great experience working with the technicians at Koncerted. Our director of business development anticipates the needs of our partners and vendors to ensure they are well-versed in the world of technology, so we can provide clients with all-around support and positive collaboration.

Our goal is always to create “Harmony Through Technology.” Although every project is unique, it is always centered around the client’s vision and lifestyle.

What was your proudest moment?

Matt: Our proudest moment to date is being trusted with the low-voltage systems for Encore Casino in Everett, Massachusetts. Managing many different vendors and executing such a large-scale project has been an incredible experience.

What are the emerging trends in your industry?

Sean: The trend in home automation right now is finding ways to blend technology with design. We place a heavy emphasis on partnering with architects and designers early in the process to find ways to conceal and integrate tech.

Light New England, Inc.

What are the emerging trends in your industry?

LED has completely taken over as the dominant light source in the industry.

The technology continues to improve, and it is fun to work with.

What is your favorite city?

Boston, because of how small and manageable it is. There’s just so much character, charm, and, of course, history packed into every square inch.

What inspires your work?

I love how lighting comes at the end of construction, but at the beginning of design. There’s always something new, and I never stop learning.

O

ur founder, Jeff Pomeroy, often says, “Light New England is not a sales agency. We’re a lighting concierge.” We love what we do, and our clients feel the difference. We’re obsessed with bringing our expertise and personalized service to each client, whether they’re in the retail, interior design, hospitality, or commercial segments.

We believe that lighting is both an art and a science. Our extraordinary team of sales professionals and lighting technicians has decades of experience in blending the art of lighting design with the technical skill of function. We’re personable, always available, and get joy by bringing beautiful light into people’s lives.

Jeff has worked in the lighting business for more than 30 years. He founded Light New England in 2003 and began representing Visual Comfort lighting in 2006. In 2016, Light New England opened its first-ever trade showroom in Charlestown, Massachusetts—a gallery to show off the size, scale, quality, design details, and craftsmanship of more than 300 light fixtures and lamps. Stop by and say hello!

What is your favorite space within your home?

My foyer. I have the gorgeous Zodiac pendant hanging—an iconic statement piece. My wife and three kids love it, too.

They have great taste!

How do you describe your style?

Chandon Georgian: It’s about having style rather than having a style. For us, beauty, relevance, and purpose is all that is required.

What is your design philosophy?

Maggie Mink: Our design philosophy is straightforward. It has to be buildable, it has to be functional, and it has to be amazing.

M

odernism is not a style. Our work is defined by a commitment to beauty, craft, and performance. We draw fresh conclusions from what informs and inspires us. The stylistic range of our portfolio reflects the clients and opportunities we encounter.

No matter the style, setting, or size, each house must make the most of its circumstances. A breathtaking interface with nature and a focus on cultural context and sensibility are never mutually exclusive.

There is enduring meaning in traditional architectural forms, and there are unprecedented opportunities in new construction technology. To be modern is to synthesize the power of the past with the possibility of the future. The result is a home that will delight all who encounter it.

Our projects are meant to be the best homes our clients will ever live in.

Michael D’Angelo Landscape Architecture LLC What are emerging trends in your industry?

With the rapid expansion of luxury residential development occurring in cities across the country, outdoor space, particularly highly programed roof terraces, have become a must-have amenity for buyers. Everything from gas firepits and golf greens to chef ’s kitchens now dot the urban skyline.

How do you describe your style?

Our work has a distinct contemporary look and feel, but we always relate back to the architecture and overall site context.

M

ichael D’Angelo Landscape Architecture (MDLA) is a Bostonbased design firm serving all of New England. The firm has experience designing challenging coastal properties, suburban landscapes, and a large portfolio of urban roof terraces and courtyards.

We also provide design services for real estate developers, institutions, and corporate clients.

While our designs are clean-lined and simplistic in approach, a high level of detail, thought, and craftsmanship are apparent in the final products. Designs often incorporate large massings of plant material for visual impact, creative use of paving materials for scale and texture, and typically have a strong lighting component that enlivens the space at night.

Prior to starting MDLA in 2014, Mike worked for a well-known Boston firm that focused on commercial and institutional projects. This large-scale work was always governed by strict timelines, budgets, and formal procedures, which has proven to be a valuable and transferable skill set for our residential clients. Our ability to guide and help manage the entire process of design, bidding, and construction observation saves the client’s valuable time and helps to ensure success.

What motivates you?

Watching our designs come to life and seeing the spaces being enjoyed by our clients.

What are you currently working on that you are excited to see built?

A coastal residence in Connecticut, several private roof terraces in Boston, and a variety of multi-family amenity spaces throughout Massachusetts.

National Lumber Home Finishes What is your design philosophy?

To produce feelings of both comfort and an energizing flow of life. Listening to the client is the main task. Learning what they like and what they need guides the design to create a home that’s a personal retreat for the individuals living in it.

T

hanks to the popularity of home design programs on television and online, homeowners have high expectations for their home building and renovation projects.

Our team makes dreams come true for homeowners in Massachusetts.

Everything discerning homeowners need—concept to completion— is available from the design team of National Lumber Home Finishes in Mansfield. With years of experience collaborating with top custom home builders and remodelers, our team has the expertise to work seamlessly with the construction company selected by the homeowner.

The design journey begins by meeting with our designers at the Kitchen Views and Home Finishes showroom. Specializing in both cabinetry and interior design, they take the homeowner’s concept for their home and translate it into working plans. Our showrooms provide inspiration as clients select foundational elements such as cabinetry, doors, windows, and more. Once the building plans are established and construction begun, our designers get to work on the details.

Homeowners receive expert guidance from the foundation of cabinetry style and colors to the interior design—all the finishes that complete a home are expertly handled.

What inspires your work?

As designers, we draw inspiration from nature, fashion, architectural details, and everything around us. For kitchen design, we no longer have rules that fit every kitchen, and we have an amazing array of cabinetry styles with innovative storage solutions available.

For interior design, current trends of eclectic mixtures are invigorating, blending contemporary elements with traditional home structures creates a transitional environment that balances the best of what the homeowner loves.

What motivates you?

Drawing out ideas from a client through trust and relationship building. Helping them discover what brings them joy, and then fulfilling those ideas. It’s rewarding to know you’ve improved someone’s life by improving their surroundings.

you hopped into a time machine and travelled to Maine just after the Civil War, you would see the beginning of the state’s summer colony tradition. The well-known places like Bar Harbor began then, but also lesser-known spots, like Capitol Island—a tract of land just 700 feet long and three-quarters of a mile wide—off Southport. The island was first developed in the late 1800s with a small hotel and tents for tourists. Later, the hotel was expanded to include a bowling alley, billiards room, and dance hall. By 1916, forty-three homes had replaced the tents and, according to one recent estimate, there are forty-three homes on the island to this day.

For decades, visitors arrived on the island by boat.

Since 1932, a (thrice-rebuilt) wooden bridge has connected the island to the mainland. But life on Capitol still feels old-fashioned. It’s “a nirvana of family and childhood summers,” in the words of Damariscotta, Maine-based architectural designer Adam Maltese.

The kind of place where “kids run in packs and come storming into a house, have lunch, and disappear to play tennis or go swimming.”

Following in the footsteps of his maternal greatgrandfather, the Boston-area lawyer who owns this home has been going to Capitol Island for more than half a century, first with his parents, now with his graphic-designer wife and four children. In 2007, the couple bought one of two side-by-side houses that look like (and may very well be) 1920s Sears Kit homes, both located midway down the island’s primary road. In 2015, despite the couple’s interest in preservation, they decided to rebuild. “Our operating principle,” says the wife, “was that we wanted another bathroom.” They had only one.

As the head of the design-build firm Knickerbocker Group and the husband of a Capitol Islander, Steve Malcom was a natural pick for the job. He

understood that building new meant change on an island that does not see many changes. The original home was in a gorgeous yet difficult location. The sweep of the Atlantic Ocean was just outside the front door, but the lot was tight, partially occupied by a high stone ledge, set in both the floodplain and shoreland zone, and with setbacks on three sides.

On an island where everyone knows everybody else, and where a little change can have a big impact, the loss of one of the familiar twinned houses could very well make some residents unhappy. Knowing this, the owners wanted their new home to match the island’s architectural character. The house that Maltese—who has since moved on to form his own firm—designed had to be good for the family, but

“He’s a Yankee Doodle to her California dreamer,” is how designer Phillip Miller describes the homeowners’ disparate tastes.

also for islanders.

There was one further challenge. The couple shared sensibilities when it came to politics and money, but not design. Enter Phillip Miller and ­Hilary Lippold of America Dural, hired to participate in the architectural plan (in the case of Lippold) and the interior design (in the case of Miller). Miller, who worked with the couple on their Boston-area home, describes their disparate tastes this way: “He’s a ­Yankee Doodle to her California dreamer.”

When the wife first confessed how much her love of contemporary color and pattern diverged from her husband’s fondness for restraint and tradition, Miller says he told her, “That’s perfect. That’s excit-

ing side by side. If you lived in a totally Victorian house or a midcentury modern house, it would look boring, like a museum.”

Maltese’s architectural design combines two forms, a primary cross-gabled house and a second rear structure that “nibbles into the ledge,” says Malcom, and is reached through a two-story glass connector. The first floor of the main part of the house holds the living room, dining room, and kitchen as well as a glassed-in front porch that acts as both a breakfast room and an extension of the living room. Upstairs, a hallway leads to three bedrooms, including the master. A handsome staircase with an elegant curved mahogany railing runs between

“On a summer weekend, you drive onto the island and take the loop road, and it’s just like going back in time,” says Adam Maltese. floors, then turns for a short stretch that leads to the upper part of the back structure, a two-story space with a TV room on the lower level and a sunny bedroom on the upper level.

The white clapboard exterior is classic cottage, complete with wraparound porch, two-over-two windows, black shutters, and a red-shingled roof. The interior, however, is a surprise, pairing disparate elements: shiplap walls and traditional moldings with vibrant color, contemporary furniture and antiques.

The living room furniture, for instance, runs the style and color gamut from midcentury modern (a royal blue Palacek chair and a red Hans Wegner teak sofa), to art deco inspiration (a navy-blue Juan Montoya barrel chair), and French antique (a nineteenth-century walnut directoire-style sideboard). A fireplace wall of glossy, sapphire-hued glazed brick is flanked by pale sage-green shiplap paneling.

The dining room is almost whimsical with its paneling that starts out teal then switches to pale green

three-quarters of the way up the walls and its vivid blue upholstered chairs surrounding a rustic dining table. A striking pendant of glass bulbs on long red cords illuminates the scene.

The bold palette repeats throughout the house, even in the kitchen, where an azure island anchors the space, and the pale sage cabinets and walls get an energetic boost from the bright yellow, orange, and green plates perched on open shelves that run across the windows.

The new doesn’t stand in the way of what everyone seems to love best about Capitol. “On a summer weekend,” says Maltese, “you drive onto the island and take the loop road, and it’s just like going back in time.”

In fact, the consensus seems to be that the new house is a perfect fit for the island. “It feels exactly,” Maltese concludes, “like what you want Maine to feel like.”

ike many residents of Duxbury, Massachusetts, Gillian and Dickie Dillon like to stroll around the charming seaside town they’ve called home for more than thirty years. It was on one such walk in the summer of 2015 that they saw a “For Sale” sign on a property they had previously noticed when they were kayaking—a dilapidated beach cottage that clearly needed to be torn down and replaced. The Dillons hadn’t even been considering a move, but the view of Duxbury Bay from the property was so breathtaking that they quickly starting making plans. “It had always been my dream to build a house from scratch on the water,” says Gillian. “And how often do you get to do that?”

Understanding how rare the opportunity was, the couple sold their home closer to the center of town—a colonial dating to 1796—and hired architect Jason Herzog to design a new house that would blend into the historic seaside neighborhood, but be tailor-made to the Dillons’ twenty-first-century tastes and lifestyle.

To create the classic beach-cottage exterior his

clients desired, Herzog used wood shingles and white trim, and added pillars and porches in keeping with local style. His dedication to honoring the past without creating a museum piece was rewarded not only by the Dillons’ enthusiastic appreciation, but by their neighbors’ accolades, as well. “When people saw the old cottage being torn down,” Gillian says, “they were terrified of what was going up. But we have had so

level. “No one really uses a formal living room or dining room anymore,” says Gillian. “We just wanted a big, open great-room space that would suit the way we actually live.”

The open plan makes the house feel larger than its 2,500 square feet, the size limitation set by zoning laws and a right-of-way that splits the seaside plot of land into two separate parcels, neither of them very large. “This is an old town, with easements and rights-of-way that you find out about just when you go to build,” says architect Herzog. “On this lot, the previous house hadn’t been in compliance with the current zoning laws, but when you build something

new, you have to make sure that you comply.”

Working with local engineer Paul Brogna, Herzog was able to eke out a few extra feet to build on, while still adhering to the ordinances. “But even so,” says the architect, “we were limited on size. And when you’re working with such a small footprint, an open plan is really the only way to go.”

In addition to the spacious cooking/dining/ living area, there’s a small study and bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, the Dillons had Herzog design a large private bathroom and dressing room in the master suite, and another bath and dressing room for the single guest room, rather than squeeze in extra bedrooms.

“If someone wanted, one day, I suppose they could convert the downstairs study to a third bedroom,” Gillian says, “but we didn’t design this house for resale; we designed it to suit ourselves.”

And it does. “It’s amazing,” she says. “Everything is in the right place for us, and everything works perfectly for our way of living.”

The house also suits the couple’s decorating taste to a T—which is no surprise, as almost all of the furnishings come from their own antiques and homedecor store, Dillon & Company, in nearby Plymouth.

At home as in the shop, the aesthetic leans heavily toward traditional British style. “English furniture is very classic, and typically very simple,” says Gillian, who, like her husband, is originally from Great BritJuly–August 2019 | New England Home 123

ain. The clean-lined tables and chests she favors mix beautifully throughout the house with new seating from Lee Industries (also carried at Dillon & Company), all upholstered in tones of beige and grey.

“I move things around a lot because of the business I’m in,” says Gillian, who often lives with an import for a while before putting it up for sale, or borrows something from the shop to refresh the look at home. “So I like to do all the bones very neutral.

Then I can bring in different colors with pillows or throws or even a rug.”

She also adds color—and plenty of it—with paintings. Some of the canvases in the Dillons’ home were gifts from artist friends, and others are on loan from the store. And while there are no pictures of boats or seashells (“I don’t like anything theme-y,” Gillian says), the artworks’ coloring and abstract water imag-

ery all nod to the beach. “Sometimes,” says Gillian, “I look at the view of the bay and I think, ‘Wow, that looks just like the painting right behind me!’ ” That delightful double-take is a frequent occurrence, because thanks to the home’s open spaces and large windows, Duxbury Bay is visible from every room in the house, year round. In the warmer months, Gillian and Dickie spend much of their free time enjoying the views from the porch, or while sitting on the terrace beyond the French doors of their master suite.

“I love everything about the way the house turned out,” says Gillian. “But being able to sit in my house or on that terrace and look at the water—the same view that drew us to this spot in the first place—that is probably the very best thing of all.”

he wanted color.

Not just a dash here or an accent there. This client wanted color.

And she wanted it bright and beachy. “I like color,” she explains simply. “It’s bright, it’s happy.

That’s my personality...outgoing, colorful, and bold.”

Josh E. Linder and Thomas Henry Egan III, partners in the Boston design firm Evolve Residential, could not agree more. No strangers to bold interiors themselves, they knew their client well, and weren’t at all surprised that she wanted them to help her work some vivid magic on a guesthouse her family had built behind their home on the South Coast of Massachusetts. They knew, too, that an exuberant interior would be a bit out of the ordinary for

the sleepy village dominated by rambling Shinglestyle houses, many of them longtime family homes updated with additions and decorated in tastefully predictable palettes.

In this guesthouse, though, a flowing, coordinated color scheme would serve as the invitation to gather, to relax and let go. While visiting family kept the guesthouse full much of the summer, the cliA combination of benches and transparent chairs surround the concrete-slab dining table. FACING PAGE, TOP: Ambles through the village inspired architectural details like the cap over the front door and the curved upper corners of the columns.

ent wanted it to double as a space where she and her husband, as well as their three teenage children, could entertain local friends—or retreat alone.

Fully on board, the designers nonetheless recognized that some caution was advisable. “You have to be very careful,” Egan says. “Because you know, a riot of color can also look like a fabric factory exploded.”

For most projects, Egan focuses on the architecture and Linder on the interior. With this cottage already built, they made just a few tweaks to the exterior, incorporating architectural features drawn from the surrounding village. “We used the town like a little salad bar,” Egan says, describing how he and Linder, along with the client, handpicked local architectural details to enhance the building’s sense of place. At about the same time, landscape architect Dan Solien and his team went to work on the property, adding a pool, outdoor fireplace, paths, and planting beds that create what the client describes as a “private, magical space.”

Concentrating on color, the designers and client pored through piles of fabric samples and chose turquoise as a dominant color, with blue and lime green in supporting roles. Those three hues shade-shift their way through the house, reappearing in a striped rug here and a throw pillow there, with a continuity that never gets redundant. “Even if it’s a similar color, if you change the material or change the color it’s paired with, it will change the look of the color itself,” Egan explains.

Bold blues pop out of the woodwork, but the vibrant colors mostly play out in patterns—zig-zags on drapes, streaks on wallpaper, plaids on pillows.

Perhaps it is a bit of a riot—but it’s not a mob. The key

to maintaining harmony, says Linder, is to differentiate between patterns, using a variety of textures, fabric weights, and scale, and then reintroduce the patterns around the room for continuity. The inclusion of a few well-chosen antiques from the client’s family’s collection doesn’t hurt either. These sedate pieces in wood and leather ground the palette and give the eye—and visitors—a place to rest.

The main floor’s living, dining, and kitchen areas are unified overhead with a coffered ceiling fitted with pale blueish-green grasscloth. In the living area, a sofa spills multicolored stripes toward the floor, where a rug of much broader and more subdued stripes carries the color to the rest of the room. The adjacent kitchen joins the party with chevron-patterned wallpaper that echoes the living room colors. White cabinetry topped with white Thassos marble provides just enough calm to rein in the rainbow.

The nearby dining area is dominated by a custom table for ten consisting of an ocean-blue concrete slab atop two rope-wrapped bases designed by Christian Astuguevieille. Transparent chairs on the living-room side of the table allow a view of the artisan’s work.

“You guys did too good a job,” says the homeowner about the appealing cottage. “Nobody wants to come to the main house anymore.”

The roped bases are among the nautical references that surface throughout. Linder and Egan don’t try to avoid these familiar clichés, but to express them in unexpected ways. Above the table, for example, three large pendant lights catch the eye with their size, but on closer inspection, the small spheres they contain become recognizable as glass floats for fishing nets.

The rope motif of the table’s base is repeated in the handles of the wet-bar cabinets and as a railing on the stair. These moves not only reference tradition, but also help balance the palette, Linder explains. “The rope and jute and sisal make a good counterpoint July–August 2019 | New England Home 133

to all the color,” he says. “It brings the intensity level down just a notch.”

Nautical nuances continue in the second-floor bunk room, where young visitors vie for a seat in a futuristic ball chair. The space-age style of the piece is surprising in this setting, but as Linder explains, “We just wanted something crazy, exuberant, and playful, something the kids will want to jump into.”

The atmosphere in the master bedroom is pure cottage, with a spooled fourposter and wide v-groove paneling to subdue the blues, purples, and greens that spill in from the hallway wallpaper. In the third bedroom, a boldly patterned wallpaper from Stroheim cascades down the sloped ceiling to meet the bed’s tufted headboard in the same pattern.

Not to be restrained, the draperies, an upholstered bench, and a gaggle of pillows toss in a few more patterns. But that, Linder says, is the best part about designing guest bedrooms. “You can have fun, and give your guest an enchanting experience,” he says.

It’s not just visitors who have fallen under the guesthouse’s spell. “It allows us to laugh and relax and enjoy each other and be together,” says the homeowner. Linder says the client hinted that they may have made the cottage just a shade too appealing. “She said, ‘You guys did too good a job,’ ” he relates. “Nobody wants to come to the main house anymore.”

This Cape Cod home lives at the confluence of old and new.

The architecture pays homage to the traditional ship captains’ houses of early Chatham, says architect Tom Catalano.

But you won’t find a warren of small, dark rooms inside. This house is open, bright, and contemporary, stem to stern.

The owners lived in Boston, had a house in Scottsdale, Arizona, and had summered on the Cape for years by the time they decided to build. They quite literally brought a lot of baggage with them, as they owned a lot of important antiques, furniture, and artwork. As lovers of all things traditional, they wanted their home to suit the coastal vernacular, and they wanted their treasures to look like they belonged. At the same time, they were ready for fresh surroundings, a new look.

Interior designer Brian del Toro of New York City took the lead on design. It was a formidable challenge to repurpose and reuse as many antiques as possible. Luckily, he had the pedigree and experi-

ence to pull it off, having worked with Parish-Hadley Associates after studying in Italy and England, and later, with Connie Beale and Bunny Williams. “I was very aware of traditional design, and I knew their furniture would dictate what the house would look like, but it couldn’t be stuffy,” he says. “There are ways to temper antiques—they had so much English and American brown furniture—that make them softer.

There are things you can add to round out existing furnishings, like a glass-topped driftwood table, for example, that make a room feel less imposing.”

But before del Toro had his way with the interiors, there was the envelope to consider, and Catalano, who has offices in Boston and Hyannis, guided the project from the first. “We were charged with designing a context-based home in Chatham, one that would fit in, not stand out,” he says. “It had to be a year-round residence as well as a seasonal gathering place for three generations of our client’s family.”

“I wanted a primitive-style scene on the walls, so I brought in Chuck Fischer, who worked with the client to incorporate meaningful landmarks of Chatham,” says Brian del Toro.

and Nantucket Sound, the site was ideal. Catalano maximized the outdoor space by siting a pool and pool house on the east side of the house, and took advantage of a south-facing slope by building out a lower level that gets flooded with sunlight.

“We respected old and new as we worked on the design,” says Catalano. “The house is clad in cedar shingles and white-painted trim. The front entrance is a traditional composition, using leaded-glass sidelights and transoms and a mahogany door.”

The millwork is exceptional, both indoors and out. Catalano gives high marks to the builders, Ted and Matt Spencer of Spencer & Company in Chat­

ham. “They are a fantastic father-and-son team who brought a passion to their work that we don’t see that often.” Says del Toro, “We all worked well together.

The architect designed the beautiful framework, and with incredible precision and the assistance of local talent and craftsmen, the builder made it all happen.”

The wife, an avid gardener, worked closely with landscape architect Kris Horiuchi of Falmouth to design a four-season yard. “A carpet of bulbs emerges during the early spring, and of course, the garden is completely choreographed for color in the summer,” says Horiuchi. “Later in the year, fall foliage highlights the garden. And during the quiet winter months, the striking bark of the stewartia and plane trees are wonderful features, along with a pair of perfectly clipped hollies that welcome guests at the front door.”

Inside, del Toro forged a pleasing mix of casual and formal. The sunny combination of family room, kitchen, and breakfast area has the most laid-back vibe, he says. “It’s the least formal space and the greatest departure from what the client had lived with in the past. The room looks out onto the pool area, so I saw it as a kind of transitional space.”

The homeowners initially wanted the family room to have a garden‑room feel, which to them suggested a floral chintz. “But I lobbied for them to use pattern elsewhere, so this could be a calmer, quieter space,” the designer says. “A subtle gray palette allows you to focus more on the outside.”

Handmade bamboo shades screen the natural light without blocking it and contribute to the clients’ coveted garden-room feel, as does the floor, a del Toro design with a wood lattice pattern inset with twofoot-square gray French limestone tiles. (Wide-plank oak—fumed, brushed, rough-hewn, and stained a medium brown—covers the floors elsewhere in the house.) The coffered ceiling is fitted with driftwoodlike pecky cypress in the recesses.

Designed around the homeowners’ heirloom table and Chippendale chairs, the dining room is traditional in every sense. In order to soften the space, del Toro designed upholstered host chairs and commissioned an intriguing mural. “I wanted a primitivestyle scene on the walls,” he says, “so I brought in TOP: The calm palette continues into the master bedroom.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: A custom Chippendale-inspired wood fence and fieldstone wall define the edges of the terrace—and keep the rabbits out. The hardscape and fencing are as important to the landscape design as the plant materials, says landscape architect Kris Horiuchi.

What looks like a well-appointed pool house is actually a gardening shed.

In keeping with the tradition of New England craftsmanship, the designer picked up the colors in the mural and had an artisan hook the large, colorful, patterned rug that grounds the room and, like the twin light fixtures over the table, adds a contemporary touch.

Much of the artwork was inherited, including a collection of family portraits thoughtfully grouped together in the stair hall. Placement was a key element of the interior design throughout the home. A case in point: a new shell mirror hangs over a ­vintage mahogany chest in the entryway. The ­juxtaposition works. “Everything is about appropriateness to its location,” says del Toro. “I had to make sure that where we placed every piece made it feel fresh.”

In del Toro’s hands, the owners’ lovely old pieces feel timeless, even current, while offering—as they’ve done for generations—a comforting sense of continuity and permanence.

Five Questions

Alex Correia and his Mexican hairless pooch, Lali.

Alex Correia, co-owner of White Star Antiques in Providence, on the longstanding popularity of the midcentury modern style.

1

You used to be a touring musician. How did you get into the antiques business?

My wife, Melanie, and I already had a background in antiques, and after I stopped touring, we crisscrossed the country in a vintage White Star camper for six months buying and selling antiques. When we got back to Providence, we talked with our friends Josh and Karen Peterson, who were both experienced antique sellers, and we all decided to open a shop that

would sell the type of things we would want in our own homes. We named the shop after our camper.

We source from all over the country and from people directly in Denmark, Belgium, and elsewhere. We all look for what we find to be interesting and important, especially pieces that have a story.

Five Questions

demand show signs of slowing down?

I think part of the reason it’s so popular right now is that it is easy on the eye, aesthetically. Also, people live more minimal lifestyles now, and midcentury modern pieces seem to fit, functionally.

The style works with a lot of other styles and can be put in a variety of settings, say in a Victorian or Craftsman home, without overpowering the space. The popularity of midcentury modern— people use the term to describe a style, more than a period, really, and it includes Danish and Scandinavian modern— started growing in the 1990s. In the past five years it has exploded to the extent that you even have Target or Walmart reproducing things, which to me is kind of a sign that the demand may be crashing.

These knockoffs dilute the look and the market. In fact, there are certain pieces that we don’t carry anymore because there are so many knockoffs. For example, you can buy a knockoff of a Harry Bertoia wire side chair for $30. A real Bertoia,

M U R D O U G H

licensed by Knoll, will cost more like $800. It’s the same thing with knockoffs of the Eames shell chair. Being able to buy a cheap imitation on Amazon has destroyed the market for real versions.

3

What advice do you give customers about identifying a good buy?

The most important advice is do not sacrifice quality for price. If you buy a quality piece, it will last, and it will retain—and often increase—its value, while a knockoff won’t. I also tell people that the things you regret most are not the things you buy, but the things you don’t buy. We’ve all experienced the heartbreak of falling in love with a piece, not buying it, then going back and finding it has been sold.

4

What’s a favorite, memorable find? One that made you say, “Gotta have that!”

That question reminds me of when I asked an old-timer in the antiques business, “What’s your favorite thing?” He said, “The last thing I bought.” I agree with him. My favorite thing is always the last thing I bought, because the next time

D E S I G N

I find something I’ll fall in love with that.

We hand-select everything in our store, and we don’t choose anything we are not interested in ourselves. For example, although I know certain chairs are trendy, if I don’t like them, I won’t put them in the store. I confess there have been items that have blown me away, like a firstgeneration Eames chair (the holy grail!), which was only made for two years, and art by Picasso and Keith Haring.

5

Is the idea of what an antique is changing?

That’s an interesting question. Although it is often said that younger people are not interested in antiques, I think it’s more correct to say that, to them, the term “antique” is now kind of dated. Like, an antique is something that’s 100 years old or more. Young people are interested in things they think of as collectibles. And pieces by famous architects and influential artists are collectible. Today it is more important to find out if there a story behind a piece that sets it apart; who designed it and why was it designed. | White Star Antiques, Providence, whitestarantiques.com

JA19 Perspectives.indd 158

Picturesque Vinalhaven has always been alluring. But now that Marston House has relocated to the island, there’s even more reason to board the ferry in Rockland and head out to sea. After thirty years in Wiscasset, the shop’s proprietors, Paul and Sharon Mrozinski, have created a new nest for their stunning wares in Bridge House, a historic old building they’ve rehabbed from top to bottom. The shingled waterfront structure is the ideal backdrop for their trove of unique treasures, primarily from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and most of which the couple have gleaned on their travels (the Mrozinskis spend half the year in southern France). Against the simple white interior, culinary items like timeworn butter paddles and stacks of ironstone look happily at home. Furniture, French pewter plates, assorted porcelain, Italian glass candlesticks, ephemera—the

ever-evolving inventory is as intriguing as the 70-something-year-old couple themselves. “We look for the soul of every piece, the spirit of the hand and of the maker,” explains Sharon. Wooden shelves and antique cupboards overflow with clothing (new and vintage) and vintage textiles, including a stash of gorgeous antique French and Italian linen sheets. The rough hand-loomed fabric is so durable, says Paul, it will live on for years as slipcovers or upholstery. New things like market baskets, pottery, and butter-colored leather goods find their way in as well, but only if the Mrozinskis have, as Paul says, connected with them. In this stylishly curated shop, even the smallest items—glass vials of dried plants, for example, or quirky antique corkscrews—are rare and wonderful. | 18 Main Street, Vinalhaven, Maine, 207-863-9033, marstonhouse.com Photos courtesy of Marston House

The Man in the Glass House

By Mark Lamster Like so many people with a streak of genius, Philip Johnson was a living paradox.

Personally and professionally, he was often generous with his time, money, and influence, but he could also be calculating, callous, and cruel. He was an anti-Semite in the 1930s who later promoted Jewish architects and built a synagogue pro bono. His work could be groundbreaking (his 1949 Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut), sublime (the 1958 Seagram Building in New York City, designed in collaboration with Mies van der Rohe), or frankly opportunistic (the Crystal Cathedral he built for the televangelist Robert H. Schuller).

He was a prolific designer with a surprisingly uneven oeuvre. As architecture professor and critic Mark Lamster says in his engaging and compassionate new biography of Johnson, The Man in the Glass House, “There is hardly a city in America that is not graced— or fouled—by a building with Johnson’s name on it.”

While his many buildings are his most visible legacy, Lamster writes, Johnson’s most enduring gift may be his influence on American culture. At the start of his career, in the 1920s, modernism was an esoteric movement. By the time of his death in 2005— thanks in large part to his championing of the style—modernism had become the defining language of American design. | $35, Little, Brown and Company, littlebrown.com

Summer Houses by the Sea: The Shingle Style

By Bret Morgan We New Englanders are blessed with an abundance of Shingle-style houses, as this beautiful new book from Rizzoli proves. Of the twenty-two gorgeous buildings featured in its 272 colorful pages, sixteen are New England properties. The book—a celebration of both the romance of life by the sea and of the iconic style that originated on America’s East Coast—covers more than a century of design. The story begins with McKim, Mead & White’s 1880 Newport Casino (home to the International Tennis Hall of Fame) and winds up with a 2006 Seal Harbor, Maine, home by architect Peter Forbes (featured in the November–December 2010 issue of New England Home), a light-filled dwelling that beautifully blends the contemporary and traditional. In between are notable homes such as William Ralph Emerson’s 1896 home for General Charles G. Loring in Prides Crossing, Massachusetts; Robert A. M. Stern’s first house on Martha’s Vineyard, commissioned in 1979; and Shope Reno Wharton’s 2004 Jamestown, Rhode Island, house Black Watch. In both his photos and his text, Bret Morgan gives each building the star treatment it deserves. | $65, Rizzoli, rizzoliusa.com

BY PAULA M. BODAH

The prolific and indefatigable Mally Skok recently debuted a new collection for Dowel Furniture.

The Well-Traveled Home Mally Skok collection—four chairs, two stools, two tables, and one ottoman—has Skok’s unique blend of simplicity and surprise.

A clean-lined lounge chair wears a spunky zig-zag fabric, for instance, while a practical “anywhere” table has delightful scalloped edging and graceful serpentine feet. And naturally, any pieces that call for upholstery use the Lincoln, Massachusetts-based designer’s own distinctive fabrics. | dowelfurniturecompany.com, mallyskokdesign.com

A High Honor

Congratulations are in order for several of New England’s residential architects who have been elevated to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) College of Fellows for 2019. The AIA reserves that honor for those who go above and beyond exceptional work by making contributions to both the profession and to society. Joining that esteemed group this year are John DaSilva of Polhemus Savery DaSilva, Richard Renner of Richard Renner | Architects, and William T. Ruhl of Ruhl Studio Architects.

For 2019, several companies earned multiple Gold awards, including Roomscapes Cabinetry & Design Center, Adams + Beasley Associates, and RemodelWerks.

HARBORING THE BEST Nantucket’s town dock is going to have a new look come 2020, thanks to plans to replace the 1960s Harbor Master building with a new facility designed by Stephen Kelleher Architects. The town of Nantucket selected the Fairhaven, Massachusetts, firm based on its design of a 3,400-square-foot, two-story structure that meets all the requirements that come with existing in a historic district as well as a FEMA velocity zone. The new building is slated to be open for business early next year. | Fairhaven, Mass., stephenkelleherarchitects.com

It’s all about the full sensory experience at the Experience Studio, the new showroom from Mark Haddad and his team at Interiology Design.

As a Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer, Haddad knows the value of letting clients view products in a lifelike setting. The new space holds a lineup of model rooms, including several kitchens, a laundry room, and a walk-in closet, allowing visitors to try out appliances and get inspiration for designing spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Among the product lines on display are cabinetry from Composit and Penn­ ville Custom Cabinetry, Matouk Linens, Farrow & Ball paint and wallcoverings, and furniture from Made Goods. | Watertown, Mass., interiology.com

Happy Tenth

It was the place to be on the evening of May 2, when Studio 534 threw a bash to mark a decade of purveying high-profile lines of fabrics, wallcoverings, furniture, and lighting to the trade. The crowd filled— and spilled out from—Josh Steinwand’s newly expanded fifth-floor showroom in the Boston Design Center as design luminaries and design lovers from across New England gathered to enjoy a lush spread of drinks and delectables and to dance to live music.

Martha’s Vinyard Modern A Slice of History Art Lover’s Haven

Martha’s Vineyard Modern

This Martha’s Vineyard home is modern in every sense: minimalist and light-filled with large, unadorned windows, all angles, clean lines, and wide planes—from the oversized pavers that run up to the front door to the long countertops and deep drawers in the spacious kitchen. Custom-designed and built two years ago, the cantilevered structure’s roots in the Bauhaus movement are unmistakable. It’s also immensely livable. The eco-friendly home, which is being sold fully furnished, features 4,500 square feet of living space and a 1,300-square-foot rooftop deck. It’s family- and party-friendly. The house seems to stretch

out leisurely over its 1.7 acres on a quiet dead-end street; 50 percent of the lot is nonbuildable conservation land, ensuring that no one will ever block the water views. The artfully designed landscape includes a screenedROOMS: 10 in row of mature blueberry 4 BEDROOMS 3 FULL BATHS bushes. The floor plan is the fun 3 HALF BATHS part, with easy-flowing traf4,500 SQ.

All are generous spaces, and many have water views.” Altogether there are four bedrooms, including two master suites and one bedroom outfitted with two bunk beds. A studio attached to the two-car garage is currently used as a game room. A fun fact: the house is modular. It was | Continued on page 187

designed and built in a factory, then assembled onsite by a builder under the direction of an architect; the seams are virtually undetectable.

Duly Noted: The home was designed by Alexander Kolbe of evoDOMUS in Ohio, who used materials sensitive to the environment in a forward-thinking way, making for minimal maintenance and maximum energy efficiency. Its green features include vertical cedar siding and a “green” sedum roof. The windows are made of triple-glazed German Unilux vinyl reinforced with galvanized steel. Heating and cooling are provided by a Mitsubishi heat pump system and a passive house certified energy recovery ventilation system.

A Slice of History

A grand entrance is a noteworthy arrival, usually well-orchestrated. This historic and stately penthouse on Beacon Street in Boston has a very grand entrance, and yet it barely hints at the grandeur to come. After its total top-down renovaROOMS: 9 tion is complete, every amenity will be 4 BEDROOMS 4 FULL BATHS brand new and up to date. This is an 2 HALF BATHS important property featuring four floors 5,703 SQ. FT. of well-proportioned rooms with many $15,995,000 preserved architectural details. Not to be outdone by its extraordinary interiors, it has a singular location: it sits at the intersection of two of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods: Beacon Hill and Back Bay. And it offers a rare front-yard view of the beautiful Angel of the Waters fountain in the Boston Public Garden.

It has curb appeal to spare. The 5,700-squarefoot home was built for Emily Taylor Parker, a Boston aristocrat, in 1852, and completely redesigned in 2017. This residence offers the best of both worlds, says listing agent Shelagh Brennan. “It invites work or relaxation, serious cooking or catered convenience, a quiet evening by the fire or a cocktail party on the roof deck.” The highlights: a luxurious master suite and three additional bedrooms, each with a bath, a family room/solarium, a personal gym, and a custom Christopher Peacock kitchen.

Duly Noted: Emily Taylor Parker was the daughter of Daniel Parker, a shipping magnate and philanthropist. Her home was designed with an array of architectural influences—from Greek Revival to Italianate and French styles—by Fox Standish architects. One of its most distinctive features is its curved bowfront facade.

To this day, its expanse of windows offers a unique view of the Boston Public Garden.

Art Lover’s Haven

Most fifty-acre lots in northwest Connecticut’s Litchfield County fetch a nice price, but add a circa1840 main house (completely renovated to twenty-firstcentury standards), a 14,000-square-foot art gallery, two two-bedroom guesthouses, a pool with its own onebedroom guesthouse, plus a three-bedroom caretaker cottage, and well, you can see why an asking price of $20,000,000 seems to make sense. The 7,000-square-foot main house, which has five bedrooms and six baths, underwent a total renovation in 2009 and now includes such features as smart-house technology and surround sound. The main event, though, is an art gallery designed ROOMS: 16 by the Steven Learner Studio in New 5 BEDROOMS 6 FULL BATHS York. Because the remarkable space sits 1 HALF BATH alongside the main house, a quintessen7,000 SQ. FT. tial country colonial with modern notes, $20,000,000 it was designed to complement it. The gallery is strongly modern with natural textures that include soft woods and stone.

Duly Noted: A gallery of this type is rare on any private property, but this one was designed for a world-class art collection, says listing agent Graham Klemm. With four distinct gallery spaces as well as two storage vaults, the building is equipped with hightech security and a flame-deterrent system to protect its contents from theft and/or damage. Prospective buyers have included families with art collections, as well as small- to medium-sized institutions looking for a curated gallery space or additional storage space, says Klemm.

Design Ideas in the Making

clients purchased this home intending • Our to renovate the existing structure. We were retained

to design some additions to the house and a new detached garage with living quarters on the second floor for the owners to stay in during construction.

Eventually we determined that the existing house, which had been modified untastefully over the years, needed to be removed and a new one built. Both the garage and the new house, however, were designed to be respectful of the quality elements of the building that was torn down: its gambrel roof geometry, shed dormers, low porches, and turret. A wish to take advantage of the property’s panoramic views of Narragansett Bay and the Newport Bridge was also critical in reorganizing the interior spaces and situating the living room and master bedroom in the new round tower.

Quite a few components of the existing house were salvaged and reused in the new home, including the front door, stained glass, and the stairway’s newel post. The result: a beautiful new house in a style that reflects the original architecture. The owners have gotten compliments that their “renovation looks great!” from passersby who don’t realize it’s a totally new home. | Rob Lambert, Burgin Lambert Architects, Newport, R.I., burginlambert.com
