Editor’s Letter

Welcome— Come on In!

I

n case we haven’t yet met, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Clinton Smith, the new editor in chief of New England Home.

I’ve spent my career editing homes magazines—and, lucky me, I get to combine my personal passion with my professional expertise. I also have the delight of inheriting a magazine that’s already best in class.

I want to tip my hat to longtime editor in chief Kyle Hoepner for his dynamic contributions, not only within these pages, but outside of them; he helped usher the stellar design that emanates from New England onto a larger platform, making it part of the national conversation.

There’s a saying that all politics are local; the same can be said for design, too. The world is an increasingly smaller place, and championing the things that make this slice of the world so very special is at the heart of what we’re going to do moving forward. It’s already embedded in the magazine’s DNA. While my letter is here now, Kyle deserves credit for the content in this issue.

In the months ahead, you can look for more of the best design that New England has to offer, as well as the outstanding work and contributions of the design professionals, artisans, craftspeople, tastemakers, and influencers who make our region unique, and call it home.

Paradise Found

Glass artist Carrie Gustafson’s Vermilion Mbola speaks to her affinity for combining intricate patterns with bold colors. “I arrive in the blowing studio with drawings and specific color combinations,” says Gustafson, “then I sit with the pieces and intuit the pattern.” While the rounded form of the Mbola series is based on an African currency bracelet, this particularly enchanting design was inspired by a bird-of-paradise flower. | Cambridge, Mass., carriegustafson.com

Good Neighbors

The way Katie Flynn tells it, she and Dan Hisel had a lot in common. They were neighbors—both independently drawn to the aesthetic and ethos of Peacock Farms, a midcentury modern neighborhood in Lexington, Massachusetts. “We met over our daughters playing together, and ‘can I borrow your lawnmower?’” she remembers.

Both had spouses in academia. And both had a background in architecture—Hisel running his own practice and Flynn working at a large design firm.

When a friend hired Flynn to redesign her house, she asked Hisel to collaborate.

It was a natural fit and a good balance.

“Katie’s approach is more playful,” says Hisel, and mine more austere. We have differing opinions about the little details but are very aligned on the big things.” They made their partnership official, launching Hisel Flynn Architects in 2017, and quickly garnered a reputation for their modernist approach. “We always work like it’s 2019… or maybe 2025,” jokes Flynn. Their niche is two-fold: in addition to contemporary new construction, they do what the duo calls “modern interventions to older houses,” like the sleek concrete garage/roof deck/ spa that’s connected to a Victorian-style house via a mahogany-clad bridge, or the

ultra-modern single-story addition they orchestrated to blend a gabled house with its adjacent orchard. They’ve also worked their magic reimagining midcentury homes in their own neighborhood and beyond—revisiting the roots of their shared passion. | Arlington, Mass., hiselflynn.com 1.

Horse Play

Essentials

A powder room goes from country cozy to pretty and polished.

The Ipswich, Massachusetts, country home had an overarching theme: horses.

And with good reason; the owner is an avid polo player who stables his ponies on the property. When he got married recently, his wife sought to temper the “camp” look in favor of a more refined, European aesthetic.

A particular priority of hers was the powder room, just off the back entrance and frequently used by guests. Sally Wilson of Wilson Kelsey Design explains that for better circulation and more space in the cramped lavette, the first step was to expand by commandeering a closet from the adjacent mudroom. With the sink and toilet properly repositioned, she was free to embellish. Away went the pasture-green color scheme, and in its place, Wilson opted for a more subdued palette of gray, gold, and blue. A houndstooth wallcovering with a slight metallic sheen wraps three walls, while antiqued mirrored tiles with French-inspired brass rosettes cover the fourth.

To round out the European aesthetic, the designer chose a crystal chandelier, a gilded mirror, sconces with custom silk shades, and a blue-painted vanity with a carved arabesque design and a marble top.

Though small in scale, the made-over powder room (along with the mudroom/entryway, simultaneously

refreshed by Wilson Kelsey Design) has transformed the tone of the house from horses to hospitality.

“A powder room should be welcoming, gracious,” says Wilson. “It says something about how you treat your guests.” | Northborough, Mass., wilsonkelseydesign.com

Living History

Silver Alert

A RISD exhibit celebrates the manufacturing and design legacy of the iconic Gorham Silver company.

At one time, Providence’s Gorham Silver was the largest silver manufactory in the world. The tiny company that could, founded in 1831, grew to have quite the storied portfolio—and list of patrons. Among many pieces that sparkled and shone, there was the tea service Mary Todd Lincoln purchased for the White House; the solidsilver bench and dressing table that graced the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris; and the company’s largest commission: the grand mid-1870s Furber collection, an 816-piece serving set made to accommodate a dinner party for twenty-four.

To commemorate Gorham’s illustrious past, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum has curated a comprehensive exhibit, Gorham Silver: Designing Brilliance 1850–1970, that chronicles the company’s dominance in the industry.

The exhibit explores Gorham’s influence on manufacturing (at its height it had a thirtyfive-acre facility that employed some 3,000

people), design (the company was known to follow—and influence—the latest trends), and marketing (it was the first to photograph its products for promotional purposes), as well as how the firm helped shape societal and cultural shifts.

The exhibit, which showcases some 600 stunning silver and mixed-metal pieces and is curated by Elizabeth A. Williams, was an impressive undertaking.

Once the selections were finalized, it took a team of ninety-five trained volunteers three years to polish the wares to their original splendor—the finishing touch on an exhibit that beautifully reflects Gorham’s proud history. | On view through December 1, risdmuseum.org

A spoon acquired in 1909 marked the beginning of the RISD Museum’s nearly 5,000-piece collection of Gorham Silver.

Don’t be misled by the absence of color.

M. Benjamin Herndon’s art is complex, expressive, and deserving of its critical acclaim. | BY WILLIAM MORGAN |

gives them non-emotive names, like Field No. 2 or Adjacent No. 3. But a large canvas like Lift is anything but basic or anonymous. Even though it seems monochromatic at first glance, the work is complex, made up of a dozen layers of a unique graphite paint that Herndon makes from scratch. He polishes his painting surfaces and draws on them with silverpoint to create organically geometric patterns in black tones that range from silvery to charcoal. Time spent with Lift reveals the subtlety of the layers, a tactile sense of the paint, and a sense of movement. As the thirty-four-year-old artist notes, the work is “more about light than darkness.”

These explorations by the Rhode Island School of Design-trained printmaker are more than minimalism, although he purposely restricts his palette as a way of reducing distractions. Such quietude “calls attention to everything,” he says. Herndon’s art is subtle, meditative, and quite Eastern. Compositions like Lift demand much of the artist, but also, they

require engagement of the viewer. There is no place to hide, as the creator’s very soul is on display.

Herndon’s recent work is part of a journey of exploration. His “aha moment” occurred when he saw how carbon reacted to paper. Graphite, or crystallized carbon, sent him in a new direction. Carbon printing is an obsolete, time-consuming, and singularly focused process. If that weren’t demanding enough, he also works with lead. As part of his master’s thesis at RISD, Herndon, who studied papermaking in Japan, printed images of Japanese handmade paper on a fifty-pound, twenty-five-foot-long roll of lead sheeting from Home Depot. He then crafted a cherrywood presentation box to hold the scroll.

Herndon’s deliberate choice to live and create in Providence has had a decidedly positive impact on his body of work.

A project like the boxed lead seems so utterly self-effacing, like Zen in its denial of the usual artistic ego. Such a cerebral approach would seem a tough path for a full-time artist. Yet Herndon’s hesitancy to compromise has earned serious respect. He has exhibited in New York, Boston, Tokyo, and Beijing.

That he is represented by Inde/Jacobs Gallery in the internationally famous contemporary art mecca of Marfa, Texas, is further affirmation of the quality of his work.

The artist made a deliberate choice to live and work in Providence. “My work would not be where it is now were I not in Providence,” he says. His studio in the Atlantic Delaine Mills in the city’s Olneyville neighborhood is 1,400 square feet and has ceilings that soar as high as twenty-five feet. He readily admits he couldn’t afford such a large workspace had he stayed in New York City. The Civil War-era woolen mill provides the ideal space for a painter/printmaker who works in large scale and with industrial materials. He has room for a wood shop, and eventually will add a printing press.

Hayward and his wife, Juli Anna Herndon, a poet, are both from rural California. After spending time in Portland, Oregon, studying math and philosophy, he moved to New York to go to the School of Visual Arts, while Juli Anna went to Sarah Lawrence College.

They moved to Providence when Benjamin enrolled at RISD to pursue an MFA in printmaking.

don says. While one might expect a young artist to feel like he should be in New York City, he prefers Providence’s less frenetic pace, and enjoys being able to commute from his home to his studio by bicycle.

He has taught lithography at RISD and, in the last three years, has held residencies at such prestigious art colonies as the Tamarind Institute, the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, and the Vermont Studio Center.

Herndon confesses he came late to art. “I made my first painting when I was twenty-three,” he says. Now, little more than a decade later, he welcomes the

challenge of working with unconventional materials. Despite the strength of his black graphite paintings, Herndon says he is not anti-color, and doubts that he will explore the light-in-the-dark theme forever.

But for now, the meticulous nature of his work, where the content is the material, provides real satisfaction. His craft requires a lot of solitude, but Herndon is reaping the rewards of his determination to follow his cerebral exploration of exploration of the depths of black.

The wooded site and stunning views made the challenge of resurrecting the unfinished house well worth the effort. BELOW: The soaring ceilings of the great room give the space its airy feel.

Revival Meeting

An architect and his clients join forces to bring an abandoned, unfinished Vermont house back to life. real estate developer Todd • Commercial Finard knows a good property deal when

he sees it. But the house he saw for sale in Stowe, Vermont, when he was hunting for a getaway for his family, left him scratching his head. The three-story, 4,900-square-foot structure boasted drop-dead views of Mount Mansfield and included a richly forested five-acre lot. Yet it had never been completed. It was basically just a post-and-beam shell, and was now in the hands of a bank. “The big question my wife, Andrea, and I had was, could we make this ours?”

Todd recalls. “Or would we be buying trouble?”

Enter architect David Boronkay. He had worked with the Finards on their main residence and had done numerous restoration and redesign projects in

the region. “I knew Todd and Andrea wanted a ‘fun’ house, one they could enjoy with their three children and for entertaining friends,” he says.

“When I walked through it with them, I knew we could turn it into a home they would love. It had great bones and marvelous views. It would be a challenge, but we all agreed that it could work.

Call it a reimagining.”

Happily, the post and beam construction allowed Boronkay to give the interiors an airy feeling. On the main floor, the kitchen opens to the dining and living rooms, creating a great room that takes full advantage of the dramatic slopeside views in the distance. Because the Finards are keen entertainers, Boronkay included an area

between the kitchen island and the dining area, which he dubbed “the gathering space.” Says Todd, “David really got it. He knows that during parties, people invariably gravitate toward the kitchen, and this space would be the perfect spot for guests to hang around—to gather—with their drinks.”

Boronkay calls his design a modern interpretation of a post-and-beam structure. “Todd and

Goood Bones Andrea have a great art collection and modern and transitional furniture and fixtures, so I wanted to keep things simple and elegant,” he explains. The result plays up the the rusticity of the structure and its mountain setting, while also being a fitting backdrop for the couple’s contemporary art.

For example, says Boronkay, who worked closely with Andrea on interior design matters, “We wanted the home’s wood to speak for itself.

So we picked finishes, such as reclaimed barnwood paneling, that reference the blond tones of the posts and beams but don’t completely blend in.” A twentyfoot-long live-edge walnut dining table includes both wooden benches and leatherette chairs to, as Boronkay explains, “find that balance between rustic

and modern.” A neutral palette in the furnishings lets the rich woods shine; the couple’s art collection takes care of providing the occasional pops of color.

out the house. “It was fun seeing how the house evolved,” he says. “I especially like the way Andrea and David opened things up by getting rid of a lot of little nooks and crannies and letting the light flow in.”

Boronkay included three bedrooms for the couple’s

children on the second floor. Instead of a fourth bedroom, he removed a wall to create an open lounging area, complete with a comfy couch and chairs, that overlooks the great room.

The entire third floor is dedicated to a spacious master suite that serves as an inhouse getaway for Andrea and Todd. “It’s like having our own luxury suite at a great hotel,” Todd says.

The exterior of the house also went through a reimagining of sorts. To break up its mass, the architect replaced the horizontal clapboards with board-and-batten siding and added a portico. A decorative grid motif in the portico echoes a similar detail in the front-facing gable. A band of slate veneer at the base of the house creates a horizontal counterpoint to the vertical siding.

The Finards plan to enlist Boronkay’s help soon to get going on phase two of their reimagining—a finished basement that will hold gathering spaces and guestrooms. But for now, they are thrilled with things just the way they are. A far cry from “buying trouble,” the resurrected house has become a true home, tailor-made for its occupants and guaranteed to foster happy memories for years to come.

The master bedroom is part of the generous suite that takes up the entire third floor.

Tiny Treasure

A petite retreat in the country proves wonderful things do indeed come in small packages.

By definition, it’s a pool house: a two-room •house that opens onto a pool. The owners even

call it a pool house. But that doesn’t do it justice.

At just over 700 square feet, it’s a diminutive architectural beauty that sits a little northwest of the middle of Massachusetts. It’s a good three-and-ahalf-hour drive from New York City, where owners Sally Holmes and her husband, Doug Curtis, live with their daughter, Josephine Zulma Curtis. It’s a fully operational second home. A retreat. A getaway that “takes me out of my regular life,” says Holmes.

“It” is a simple, elemental, wooden structure as organically connected to the land as the family is.

It’s sited on a ledge ridge, on twenty mostly wooded acres contiguous to The Farm School in the town of Orange. Holmes’s brother Ben is the founder and director of the school, which has been offering adults and children an immersive agricultural experience since 1990. “We’ve been coming to the area frequently since then,” says Holmes, “sometimes staying with family or in a tent we got when we bought the property six years ago.”

Architect Maryann Thompson, who met the couple when she was working on housing for the school, directed the design and construction of the pool house. “Sally and Doug really wanted something

The Japaneseinspired structure, crafted of glass, steel, and wood, serves as a home away from home for its owners, who live in New York City. They come up most weekends in summer, and one or two times a month the rest of the year.

Special Spaces that was a more permanent version of the camp they’d set up,” she says. “The connection to the outdoors was key. The owners are amazing gardeners. In a sense, their relationship to the land is spiritual, in keeping with their farm school roots.”

Says Holmes: “We slowly moved into the property over a number of years. The land was cleared and a meadow established first, then came the tent, then the storage shed, then the pool, and then the pool house.”

Local forester and builder Fred Heyes “cleared the land with remarkable care and precision, then built

the house with loving attention to every quarter inch,” she says.

The couple both grew up on the West Coast in houses with an aesthetic similar to this one: lots of wood and glass, a flat roof, a Japanese feeling. Thompson says they wanted to keep the building simple, use natural materials, and express the structure on the inside as well as the outside. “The use of metal, wood, and steel gives it an authenticity of material,” she says. “It’s minimally insulated and designed to take advantage of natural daylight and cross ventilation.”

There are overhanging eaves, clerestory windows, and floor-to-ceiling panes.

The interior can be completely open or compartmentalized

TOP: A challenge in designing the pool house was “sticking to the idea of it being simple but modern,” says architect Maryann Thompson. Her team was intent on enhancing the natural beauty of the site.

LEFT AND BELOW: Local red oak, birch, and pine mix in the efficient interior, where form and function share the spotlight equally.

“This is a place that gets you out of the person you are most of the time,” says Sally Holmes.

“When I arrive, I always unclench a little.”

for sleeping and privacy. The kitchen/living room/dining area flows to a screened porch and the sleeping quarters.

Because it’s so small, the house has all the efficiency of a ship, with thoughtfully designed storage and a place for everything. The only shower is the circular, wood-enclosed one outdoors.

The finish material is all wood. On the exterior,

that means a mix of western red cedar siding and natural bark shingles. Inside, the main area’s casework is made from local red oak and ash, all supplied

The living here is easy. “We’re short of a full kitchen to keep the interior aesthetic calm,” says Holmes. “We have a portable induction cooktop, electric frying pan, toaster oven, and grill, so we can

cook almost anything.”

And while a pool house might seem like it’s built just for summer use, radiant heat in the floor and a super-efficient wood stove ensure the home is comfortable even when the outdoor temperatures get into the single digits, Holmes says.

An “indoor/outdoor connection” is commonplace these days, but this is the real deal. “Sally and Doug wanted to experience the sense of a garden indoors,” says Thompson. “In a way, the garden and the structure become one, in the form of flowering vines that climb up the exterior columns.”

And because Holmes really enjoys doing the wash (really!), the laundry room was designed with access to the outside. “She engages the landscape every time she does the laundry,” says Thompson.

“This is a place that gets you out of the person you are most of the time,” says Holmes. “I have a fulltime job, and I’ve lived in the city for more than forty years. This place is just so removed. When I arrive, I always unclench a little.”

The sculptural outdoor shower gets used in all but the deepest months of winter. FACING PAGE: Exposed structural elements, such as the open-framed wall, steel support beams, and cement floor, give the sleeping quarters a minimalist feel.

under a spreading chestnut tree, David Kitts would understand. The design director of the Castleton, Vermont-based manufacturer of handcrafted lighting had that same misconception himself before joining the company nearly ten years ago. “I was expecting wagon wheels, antlers—something very traditional,” he says. “And I remember being so pleasantly surprised at the clean, very elegant look of the line.”

Hubbardton’s fresh take on handcrafted metalwork may be better known today, but it’s no easier to pigeonhole, with designs that range from industrial chic to edgy modernism to retro glam. In the last couple of years, it has launched two distinct new lines: Vermont Modern, targeting a younger, more urban and more price-conscious customer, and Synchronicity, which brings on the bling by pairing the company’s signature steel with Swarovski crystals. “If you asked people who know Hubbardton Forge what they consider our core style, you’ll get surprisingly different answers,” Kitts says. “What is consistent is we try not to take the easy way out.”

It’s been that way since 1974, when University of Vermont students Reed Hampton and George Chandler started hand-forging candlesticks and fireplace irons in a local barn. Now with 235 employees and CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Forge team member Tom DeMatties makes complex welds on a Double Cirque chandelier.

1. The Griffin pendant combines

bark-like steel rods crafted at the forge with hand-blown artisanal glass from Vermont manufacturer Simon Pearce.

2. Made of steel tubes threading past each other, the Metro pendant is a visual nod to mass transit systems.

Its tubes can be independently rotated to customize the design.

3. The stainless-steel spring coil of the Knot mini-pendants can be knotted as their name implies, dangled singularly, or draped together.

4. Steel and glass “berries” create the Sprig chandelier, which can be hung individually or in groupings.

5. Glass crystals, steel framing, and LED illumination come together in the Solitude Circular LED pendant.

Its low-voltage power cables are designed to disappear, making the light appear to float in air.

owned by Boston-based Bunker Hill Capital, Hubbardton Forge still makes its products one at a time. That includes its 800 standard designs (available in some 40,000 configurations) and its custom work. “When we get an order, the piece is truly being made for that person,” explains vice president of marketing Jeanne-Marie Gand. Hubbardton distributes its products through 900 showrooms, a few select online retailers, and roughly 460 individual designers in the company’s expanding trade program. “We’ve started to aggressively reach out to designers,” explains Ray Langton, who joined as CEO last year.

This reaching out is done from the company’s 162,000-square-foot headquarters. Planning, designing, forging, welding, finishing, packaging, shipping—it’s all done there. “I can literally be in the factory in forty seconds,” says Langton. The brevity of that walk sums up the company’s edge against global manufacturers: the ability to

deliver its made-to-order lighting in under four weeks, and its custom work in ten.

The company adds some eighty new designs a year, conjured up by a design team schooled in graphic design, architecture, engineering, sculpture, and jewelry design.

Their creative journey might begin with a request for a particular type of product, but it’s just as likely to evolve along what Kitts calls “the I’m-just-going-to-try-to-come upwith-something-interesting route.” In that case, he admits, “I don’t know where I’m going or if this is a table lamp or a chandelier, but I have an interesting thought and

I’m going to run with it.”

In responding to trends, the focus is less on copying a style than teasing out its appeal. Reflecting on the interest in Edison-style light bulbs a few years ago, Kitts surmised that it was the vintage bulbs’ warm glow that drew new fans. “We started developing some glass that could do that, a thick glass that would have a nice glow, that of a firefly caught in a

bottle.” The vessel became the basis for the Erlenmeyer line, named for the laboratory flask it emulates, and it quickly became a bestseller. “We know we’ve hit the mark when six or seven of us look at it and think, ‘I could put that in my house.’ ” Kitts says.

While a fixture’s style might reflect the broader design world, it’s likely that at least some of its parts are homegrown. Hubbardton Forge sources many of

Embracing its Vermont identity is a source of pride that extends from the company’s commitment to eco-friendly manufacturing practices to its nearobsessive approach to craftsmanship. It’s something

of a Yankee mindset, says Gand. “We hide every weld,” she says. “We care about those things, and our customers care about those things.”

Quality control occurs spontaneously through the process as a piece is passed from hand to hand to hand. “We realize it is becoming part of someone’s life, and that’s important to us,” Gand says. “There’s a lot of pride in that building.”

The hub of this kitchen is the quartz-topped center island with Jamie Young pendants and upholstered stools for a comfortable viewing perch. There are plenty of “WOW!” factors in this kitchen,

including custom cabinetry with coordinating colorways of white and Rockport gray that flows seamlessly into the open-concept dining and living rooms. Thermador appliances, a pot filler, and an industrial vent make this kitchen sing for these homeowner-chefs. The nickel hammered hardware provides a great complement to the blue marble backsplash, while the open shelves add style and simplicity.

aving a stylish room was often a pricy luxury. But not anymore!

Designing a beautiful and cozy space can be affordable. Be creative with elegant lines and cozy lighting. A well-thought-out renovation plan won’t leave you guessing.

One piece of advice that serves both hospitality and smaller areas is to think about how the space can be useful in your day-to-day life.

Functionality is key to small spaces.

Bertola-Distinctive Kitchens and Baths-2019.indd 101

Adding storage pieces like tall shelves and stacking bins for extra stuff can create more room. Functionality is also produced with lighting. One example is with the placement of lights that can create a certain ambience. Light can be diffused and spread out or direct and concentrated, depending on what a client wants. The primary goal is that the space is classy, functional, and most important, makes people feel good and happy. ~Leila Petersen Almeida

grandchildren, and even their great grandchildren in mind.

The need for their own place wasn’t immediately obvious. They and their three children had spent summers with the wife’s parents in a spacious dwelling that happily accommodated. But when a property just three doors down and looking out over Pleasant Bay came up for sale, Mom and Dad decided it was time for their own Cape Cod forever house.

Their plan involved razing the lot’s existing house and guest house and building two new structures, a task they turned to the Cape Cod firm Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders to fulfill. Given the environmental delicacy of coastal construction, the homeowners were happy to do their part to protect the site. They opted to situate the new guest house a bit farther back from the water, and they made clear their intention to keep the large English oak trees that dot the property.

When it came to the type of house to build, that was easy. They always wanted a classic Shingle-style home, although, the wife says, “not something cookie cutter.”

The twin-gambrel house has a porte cochère at one end that connects the main house and garage. With its doors on the The family room is made for comfort with a stylish ceiling and a commissioned Sophie Treppendahl triptych depicting a slice of beach life on Pleasant Bay—including cameos of the family dogs.

A large brick chimney was on the clients’ musthave list. The paneled design leaves it up to viewers to decide what they see: the openings or the grid. FACING PAGE: The porte cochère showcases the curves that are possible with shingles and typical of the classic Shingle-style.

back side, the garage looks more like a guest house. Indeed, one day the second floor will probably fill that role, “for the kids to migrate to when they have their own families,” says the homeowner. For now, it’s a playroom, or “party barn,” as it’s become known.

At the other end of the house, a grand chimney with playful geometric forms and curving surfaces harkens to an earlier era. “This client specifically requested a detailed brick chimney, which is very fitting with the Shingle-style character of this house,” says lead architect John DaSilva. “We proposed a relatively rustic brick that appears classic, but not formal.”

At about 5,000 square feet, the fourbedroom main house is big enough for the family of five without being cavernous. “We went for a nice, comfortable footprint,” the wife says. “Too much room can be a bad thing. We wanted as much physical closeness as possible.”

Accordingly, first-floor rooms flow one to the other, with a focus on togetherness and the kitchen in the middle. As the client says, “It doesn’t matter how big your house is, everybody gathers in the kitchen.”

To one side of the kitchen is the family room, with a sizeable brick fireplace and a heavy stone mantel that came from a local quarry. This is a room where people can stretch out and relax, something that happens daily with teenagers in the house, says the homeowner.

The view out to Pleasant Bay, the largest saltwater estuary on Cape Cod, is a constant. “The house is arranged so there’s a view from virtually everywhere.

Even the mudroom, which is at the inland side of the house, has a view through the screened-in porch,” says DaSilva.

The most formal part of the house is the entry hall, where paintings by various Cape Cod artists march along a wall that rises above a grand, curving staircase, one of the client’s specific requests. “I wanted a wedding staircase. I want pictures of the bride coming down,” she says, again plan-

ning for the future.

The entry hall leads to a dining room that gets plenty of use. With family and friends coming and going, dinner is usually a large group activity. “It’s never dinner for the five of us. It’s always more like dinner for fourteen,” says the homeowner.

Of course, the ample porch and the patio dining area also get their fair share of use, especially on beautiful summer nights where the fun often begins and ends around the fire pit.

throughout the house, adding subtle visual interest. “It makes such a difference,” says the client of the architectural team’s attention to detail. “That’s what they’re good at, adding these little things you’d never think to request.”

Interior designer Lisa Hilderbrand, who has an art history background, brought her signature classical yet decidedly unstuffy sensibility to the project.

“We didn’t want it to feel too formal, but we also didn’t want it to feel like the beach house where cast-offs are rel-

egated,” she says. Some items—a pair of rich leather French art deco club chairs in the study, a daybed in the kitchen lounge area—are the clients’ long-cherished items. Hilderbrand found other items in favorite haunts from the Cape to South Carolina to Texas to New York, as well as online, to add to the mix.

Grasscloth makes an appearance on walls throughout the home. “That gives the house a shore vibe, and it helps to warm up rooms so much more than painted sheetrock,” the designer says.

“We didn’t want busy patterns, and we liked the warm, neutral colors. It keeps things a little cozier, more inviting, and it adds another layer of detail.”

The house has no primary palette.

That was intentional, says Hilderbrand.

“We wanted it to be a little bit different, room to room.” The wife’s favorite color is orange, she notes, a hue that pops up in shell and coral shades among the neutrals and blues that predominate.

Among the many varieties of blue, from the cerulean of a summer sky to the gray-blue of the sea on a cloudy day, is the glossy azure of the walls and cabinetry of a pantry that doubles as a bar during the family’s frequent parties. Tucked away in the study is another bar—this one a tiny space fondly called “the pearl” for its opalescent mother-of-pearl wallcovering.

That a spot in the house is named for a gem only seems appropriate, given how precious the waterside retreat has become to the family.

“We love the house,” says the homeowner. “It will be a long-term love affair.”

Trust your instincts and your relationship with the client, says Justine Sterling, who took comfort in the fact that she had also designed the house the couple was moving out of, so was entering familiar territory.

Her clients were living in a waterfront home in Norwell, Massachusetts, when a neighboring property that was larger and had even better views of the North River came on the market. They decided to buy it, while keeping their smaller house for family members.

In the chandelier-lit master bedroom, the most formal space in the home, an imposing bed is balanced with softer tones in the bedcoverings, bench, and divan. FACING PAGE: An inviting soaking tub occupies a sunny corner of the master bath; the gossamer shades provide privacy while letting in plenty of natural light.

Having only recently remodeled, the two were determined to bring as much of their existing furniture and decor along with them as possible. At the same time, they asked Sterling to conceive a casual coastal design to complement the beautiful river views from the rear rooms of the new home. “We had a jumping-off point because we could take much of the previous house and move it over,” says Sterling. “A lot of the design palette had already been established, but I tried to introduce some new elements to create interest and make it feel like a fresh home for the owners.”

Before moving and painting could begin, however, Sterling faced a dilemma: the new house, while oth-

Teaming with builder Peter Bilodeau, Sterling resolved to gut the home’s screened-in porch and build a new dining room in its place, opening up a wall so that traffic could flow seamlessly from the adjacent kitchen and retaining the space’s indoor/ outdoor pedigree with floor-to-ceiling windows. The project included adding a pair of custom shelves to hold mementos and keepsakes, flanking a bar with a countertop stained to match the farm table.

The practical benefits of converting the space into a heated, insulated room extended to the bathroom one floor up, which had been bedeviled by freezing water pipes in the past.

The owners were spared the expense of renovating the kitchen, thanks to a recent remodeling job by the previous occupants that paired white cabinetry with an island top of polished black granite for a crisp look. Sterling used matching woven Serena & Lily

barstools and dining chairs to put a fresh face on the casual dining and food preparation areas.

The former dining room became a sitting area with a sofa facing the river and telescopes and binoculars on hand to get a closer view of the birds soaring over the protected conservation land that runs down to the water’s edge.

Sterling carefully inventoried every piece of furniture in the old house before designing the new one, which builds on a variety of gray tones with touches of sea-glass green and blue. Textured rugs and wall coverings connect the interior to the inspiring coastal environment. Strategically hung artwork provides vibrant splashes of color, notably Maine artist Craig Mooney’s landscape painting in the dining room.

Furniture was cleverly repurposed: a pair of armchairs previously arrayed in an office found their next life in the sitting room, matched with a newly acquired woven grass table. Likewise, the room’s new sofa is

tossed with pillows taken from the house next door.

In the living room, the oversize ottoman is a holdover; the sofa was custom built to match its bunk. The two-story expanse of stonework on the wall facing the sofa was trimmed to mantel height to better match the overall design and provide space for hanging a TV. The king bed in the master bedroom was another large piece that made the journey across the cul-desac. Its placement necessitated some design gymnastics on the part of Sterling, who commissioned a pair of narrow night tables to accommodate the tight confines between a wall and window flanking the bed. A treasured chaise, on the other hand, was a perfect fit under the bedroom windows overlooking the river; a new chandelier enhances the room’s overall feeling of relaxed elegance.

The bright and playful upstairs bedrooms were designed with the grandchildren in mind. Sterling eschewed custom beds and furnishings in favor of September–October 2019 | New England Home 139

re-grading the two-plus-acre property to direct water away from the house, and strategically adding trees and other plantings to enhance the coastal feel without detracting from the views.

Street appeal was noticeably improved with the addition of a cobblestone driveway, and an elevated patio edged by a stone wall yielded extra outdoor entertainment space, with sail shades providing stylish seasonal protection from the sun.

Blending old and new furnishings and harmonizing them within a new design was a challenge, admits Sterling, but, she says, “I think having a little challenge makes for the most interesting designs.”

Furnishings that stayed behind are now providing a starting point for the old home. The owners’ son and daughter-in-law live there now, and Sterling is helping them fashion a space they’ll love. “This little cul-de-sac has been good to me,” she says with a laugh.

ROSE ISLAND IS A WORLD UNTO ITSELF.

Hanging just off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, it can seem as remote as the Hebrides when the fog rolls in. Interior designer Anja Park and her family rented the pretty island’s lighthouse for five days—just enough time for Park to become enchanted with seaside living. Before long, the Somerville, Massachusetts-based designer and her husband went searching for a waterside home of their own. They found it on another island. The house on Conanicut, better known as Jamestown, Rhode Island, sat on a hill overlooking a rugged cove

where the tides forever fill and spill.

Not everyone would have recognized the home’s potential. In an area of shingled houses with rambling porches, the 1980s structure sported a modern silhouette. Years of hard weather had taken their toll, too. But the couple loved what Park calls “the straightforward home and its midcentury spirit.”

They set out not to change the soul of the place, but to highlight its hidden attributes.

Park, who was born in Germany, has handled projects around the world. Her sophisticated design aesthetic is a blend of global influences in tune with the twenty-first century, making her a perfect fit

for this reincarnation. Working closely with local architect Duncan Pendlebury, she gutted the house while keeping intact certain elements, including the character-lending mahogany stairwell and some of the cabinets and decorative details.

A twenty-foot-long addition to the building’s north side gave the couple and their three children more room to spread out. The two-story space holds an expanded kitchen, a dining area, and a family room as well as a lower-level guest suite and sauna.

Lighting throughout was updated, old floors were bleached the color of sand, and inefficient windows were swapped out for new ones.

The designer and architect took care to honor, and indeed play up, the home’s bold, linear architecture, but when it came to outfitting the interiors, Park introduced curvilinear elements and textures that soften the effect.

Clean and uncluttered but thoroughly welcoming, the house contains all that it needs and nothing extra. Such careful curating keeps the focus on the architecture and allows the rooms—free of frills and excess—to breathe.

Park was discerning in her choices, seeking out art from local and international artists and furnishings that illustrate good contemporary design. A pair September–October 2019 | New England Home 145

But it’s Rhode Island artist Jennifer Nauck’s remarkable glass piece that’s really the star here.

reworked. “We pulled up the worn bluestone patios, rebuilt the existing stone walls, and created outdoor rooms,” Pendlebury says. The family and their entourage of guests have their choice of gathering on the dining deck, in the cocktail area, or on the casual deck that connects to the guest house.

Everywhere there are burgeoning plants and flowers to enrich the blissful ambience of the setting. “Like the house, the gardens were completely changed and redone,” Park says, showing some well-deserved pride. Possessing a good deal of greenthumb know-how, she oversaw the transformation herself. Recruiting local arborist and horticulturist Josh Fusco from Mighty Tree for help, she drew up a robust design scheme chock-full of texture and long-lasting color. The plants—ranging from graceful ornamental grasses and hardy shrubs to perennials and groundcovers—wind their way around the

outdoor seating pods and pool.

Years later, Park still speaks of her lighthouse adventure with affection. It was, after all, the family’s inspiration for purchasing their own coastal haven.

Yet, if she were to be honest, this well-ordered world she’s devised is every bit as magical. There may not be a historical lighthouse amping up the drama, but her island home certainly shines.

A family retreat on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee is designed to stand the test of time—and a lot of sandy little feet.

or a Maryland couple and their six children, vacations on Lake Winnipesaukee have always revolved around simple pleasures: swimming and fishing, driving the boat to town for ice cream, gathering around the campfire. When they first began visiting Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, some thirty years ago, “we really loved the charm and character, like a little Norman Rockwell town,” says the matriarch of the family. “The kids had a new sense of freedom here, learning how to do all kinds of water activities.”

So when it came time to rebuild their vacation house to accommodate the next generation—fourteen grandchildren and counting—keeping with tradition was at the top of the homeowners’ list. One glimpse of architect Patrick Ahearn’s portfolio and they knew they’d found a kindred spirit. “He has a true eye for that classic New England charm,” says the wife.

Throughout the home, touches like weathered oars and antique water skis conjure the past. “They call Wolfeboro the oldest summer resort in America,” the homeowner says.

“We’re trying to keep that idea alive.”

A timeless look wasn’t all these hands-on grandparents were after. “They wanted a family homestead that was fairly tailored but still very fun, with a casual lake-house attitude,” Ahearn says. As one of two homes on the property, “the cove house,” as it’s known, needed to sleep half the family and seat the entire gang for nightly dinners. (The couple acquired the other home, “the point house,” when an adjacent piece of lakefront property came up for sale, and connected the two with a woodland path.) And of course, capturing water views was a priority.

The architect delivered, pairing a classic shingle-

and-stone facade with a more contemporary floor plan. Even at more than 7,000 square feet, the house manages to project a cottage-like appeal as you turn into the driveway. “The gables give the vision of hearth and home,” Ahearn explains. “The push and pull of the gables in a rhythm, along with the elongated covered porch, really tames the house.” Details like dark shutters, antique copper coach lights, and flower boxes overflowing with blooms all convey the idea of a traditional New England summer.

The rocking chairs on the front porch, alas, are a bit of a tease. When the grandkids are in residence, September–October 2019 | New England Home 155

the homeowner jokes, “If you have a chance to scoot away and sit for five minutes, you’re really lucky.

We’re what we call organized chaos.”

While good design may not eliminate the challenges of vacationing with young children, this house’s interior comes close. Ahearn joined forces with designer Brooke Wagner, a longtime friend of the family, to create spaces that are as serene and sophisticated as they are kid-friendly. The front doors open onto the great room, with its expansive lake views, crisp millwork, and highly detailed ceilings.

Against this backdrop, Wagner arranged furniture groupings that float in the space—notably, a circle of cheerful striped club chairs that sit just inside the entry—favoring custom pieces in an understated palette of blues and neutrals.

“The architecture is the architecture, and the furniture is complementary; they’re not fighting with each other,” Ahearn says of his harmonious collaboration with Wagner. “I brought the New England aesthetic, and she brought the California aesthetic, and we really blended the two together.”

Architect Patrick Ahearn joined forces with designer Brooke Wagner to create spaces that are as serene and sophisticated as they are kid-friendly.

The dining room is a prime example of the home’s easygoing elegance. There, Wagner coupled a cleanlined table and chairs with a hefty custom-fabricated chandelier, a neutral textured rug, and an antique credenza in a weathered gray finish that the homeowner spotted in an antique store.

Upstairs, two spacious bedroom suites are outfitted with custom linens in soothing shades of blue; their walk-in closets serve as impromptu nurseries, where parents can set up a portable crib. Three additional bedrooms and a nautical-themed bunkroom paneled in bleached wood round out the accommodations. Before bed, the kids can select a book from the reading room, which features a dramatic cupola and commanding views of the lake from a bank of cozy window seats.

The kitchen easily accommodates a crowd, with its floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and two massive quartzite-topped islands with full sinks. Barstools and breakfast-room chairs wear high-performance fabrics,

and a wood-look stone floor makes a more durable counterpart to the fumed oak found elsewhere in the house. “If people come in soaking wet, it’s just not going to hurt anything,” the wife says. “That is the last thing I want to worry about in a summer home. I want everyone to feel relaxed and enjoy.”

The home’s exterior is equally sturdy, built to withstand harsh northern winters. The couple worked with contractor Kevin Beland to achieve an authentic look with materials that won’t rot or mildew, including Azek trim and NuCedar shingles.

“I don’t want them to have to worry about maintenance,” says Beland, whose firm has been building in the Lakes Region for four decades. “Vacation houses

Beyond the boathouse, the second home on the property peeks through the trees. The shingles and trim are engineered materials, but, says builder Kevin Beland, “even when they touch it, some people don’t know.”

The porch floors, however, are cumaru, a Brazilian hardwood.

are supposed to be fun.”

Considering that the family is outside most of the day—mornings are devoted to water sports, while afternoons are typically spent biking, scootering, and skateboarding—the contributions of landscape architect Eric Buck were key. For the ornamental gardens near the house, he specified summer-flowering perennials such as lilies, coneflowers, and twelve varieties of hydrangea, the homeowners’ favorite.

Pathways and patios are constructed of New England fieldstone, bluestone, and granite; Buck designed large landings on the path down to the lake, making it easier to navigate for young and old alike. At the shore, a buffer of indigenous plants like blueberries, native dogwood, and sweet fern helps support the existing vegetation.

“We like to think of it as a summer camp,” the homeowner says of the meticulously designed property—a place that fosters togetherness, cooperation, and daring leaps off the boathouse roof. On Sunday afternoons, everyone gathers on the lawn for an inspirational message, focusing on values like kindness and honesty. For this close-knit family, inner beauty is what matters most, but they certainly don’t mind that their treasured retreat is lovely both inside and out.

The owners envisioned a bright, open floor plan, but they also wanted to respect the pedigree of the 1950s home they had just bought. Architects Chris Brown and Lauren Davis gutted and rearranged the kitchen, sunroom, and part of a dining room, opening up walls to usher in the light. Then they introduced space-defining elements; a slatted wall at one end of the kitchen island separates the space from the entry hall, while the raised countertop that serves as bar area separates the kitchen from the dining area. The rich walnut of the island, cabinet perimeters, and some countertops contrasts with white cabinetry for a warm but crisp look. A linear walnut pendant above the island reinforces the clean lines of the space. The husband satisfies his passion for bread making in a special nook that holds a second oven and a cookbook shelf. Nearby, two banks of pullout drawers keep clutter out of the kitchen. Of the husband’s weekly (sometimes daily) efforts, Davis says, “I have tried it, and it is delicious.”

COASTAL VIBE

Designer Laura Gall has vacationed on Nantucket for years, so when she decided to build a hilltop house with views of Casco Bay in Cumberland Foreside, Maine, she wanted, she says, “to bring elements I experienced there to Maine.”

She married this inclination with modern impulses in a light and airy kitchen with nine-foot-high ceilings and walls painted white. She added a sense of warmth in the form of oak floors and walnut drawer faces, and introduced texture with woven pendant lights and island stools. Collaborating with senior designer Jodi Geran at the Christopher Peacock showroom in Boston, Gall customized Peacock’s Refectory cabinetry. The line is inspired

by English prep school dining halls and features deep moldings and hefty hardware, like the polished nickel latches and hinges of the dining room’s walnut hutch that recalls old-fashioned freezers. All the components—white walls, dark wood, woven elements, and substantial hardware—come together to satisfy Gall’s plan to keep her kitchen coastal without being what she calls “overly beachy.”

RESORT CHIC

When the owners of a condo at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts, were looking for an interior designer, they turned to a man who has already spent years designing for the renowned luxury wellness spa: William Caligari. His soup-tonuts approach had him weighing in on everything from the condo’s partition plan to its silverware for a space that manages to be simultaneously classic, contemporary, and edgy. The kitchen incorporates a nook of traditional cabinetry (glass panel above, flat panel with polished chrome pulls below) and a more modern wall of flat white panels that hide a refrigerator and slim pull-out pantries, all outlined by

black reveals. The walls were treated to layers of plaster abraded to reveal the hues below. “The effect is like birch bark,” says Caligari. Black reappears in the tapered, Shakerinspired dining chairs from local talent Peter Murkett of New England Modern. The simple bent plane of a white glass range hood and the drama of the futuristic Mercury Suspension Lamp from Artemide offer additional high-impact design moments.

DRAMATIC EFFECT

Longstanding clients asked architect Ruth Bennett and interior designer Gerald Pomeroy to renovate their Lexington, Massachusetts, home, making space for a luxurious new master bathroom. “Because the couple are extremely well-traveled, and respond well to color, texture, and form, I wanted to do something slightly exotic in nature,” says Pomeroy. His starting point was iridescent glass mosaic tiles for the walls and—laid in a wheel pattern—on the floor. The bathroom is “classic in general terms,” says Pomeroy, “but the tiles drove me to pick unique forms and unusual lighting.” He also

incorporated additional reflective elements, such as the hammered crystal chandelier and the shiny metal stool that sits by the tub.

The slipper tub floats before a wide window dressed in a roman shade of shimmery raw silk. Architect Bennett designed the double-sink vanity with diamond detailing on the trim and cabinet doors.

HOTEL LUXE

“There is a blessing in every situation that can be a bummer,” says designer Christa O’Leary. Her new master bath is one such blessing. In 2015, she and her husband had to gut their house in Hingham, Massachusetts, thanks to that winter’s heavy snowfall and subsequent ice dams that damaged their roof, allowing water to pour into their home. The silver lining: O’Leary could redo the place based on insights gained in six years of living there. She took inspiration for her master bathroom from stays she enjoyed at luxury hotels over the years. The slipper tub is inside the shower, like a similar set up in the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, California, while the

idea for the intricate tile work—a small hexagon pattern under the tub and a larger hexagon for the overall floor—came from a Kimpton hotel in North Carolina.

An inset of blue-gray tiles behind the tub evokes the flow of water. His-and-hers sinks round out the space, with O’Leary’s husband’s navy vanity opposite her white Ritz Carlton-inspired vanity.

his contemporary wine cellar allowed us to push the envelope of design creativity as well as logistics. A private client in historic Russian Hill in San Francisco commissioned us to create a one-ofa-kind wine cellar.

Upon completion of fabrication, we began our journey of coast-to-coast logistics, which included everything from crating and shipping to having

our five-man team in place to receive and install.

There are always unknowns on any project, and this project was no exception. We tried to plan for as many contingencies as possible since our shop was over 3,000 miles away.

Our biggest surprise was being asked to install the limestone veneer, which was not part of our scope. Thanks to our extensive experience in stone

masonry, we were able to rise to the challenge and deliver an added bonus to the design team and the client.

If there is a better roof-deck to enjoy a view and a glass of wine... we have not seen it. Charles River Wine Cellars, Inc., serves all of New England, and we have worked on dozens of successful commissioned out-ofstate projects from coast to coast.

Saint Barth’s Renovation

“I

n September 2017, the Hurricane Irma tore through the Caribbean and devastated many islands. My family’s villa on St Barth’s was ruined by 180 mph winds and sheets of salt water pounding on the villa for 20 hours as Irma’s eye stalled over St Barth’s.

Charles Malafaia and International Builders, however, came to the rescue. With materials shipped from the United States, Charlie sent a crew to live in the two salvageable bedrooms

and for nine months worked tirelessly at all tasks to rebuild the villa. Flooring, decks, new kitchen, painting, stone work, foundation rebuilding, new water pipes and electrical conduits, lighting tile, new pool. It was remarkable and professional work under the best of circumstances. Let alone in a disaster scenario.

What was most significant aside from the fine craftsman who worked 15-hour days, was Charlie Malafaia’s dedication to the project 24/7 wher-

ever he was located. He was always available by electronic communication, Face Time, cel phone etc. He visited our villa on multiple occasions and lived and worked with the craftsmen. Charlie often developed innovative ideas and plans to cope with emerging challenges and the final product is a work of art. We are very happy with the result and forever grateful to Charlie and his company.”

hen an existing client purchased a cliffside property in La Jolla, California, Woodmeister was up to the task. Designed by renowned architect Wallace E. Cunningham, the plans called for the home to be comprised of only glass and concrete.

The project demanded the highest level of execution because of its extreme location, the extensive glass envelop that made it difficult to keep

the wind and rain out, and the reinforced concrete structure that did not allow for typical MEP practices.

In collaboration with Cunningham and interior designer Cristina Dos Santos, the team was charged with not only melding the home into its natural surroundings, but also creating a personalized experience within the stunningly unique space.

The result: The Razor House.

Established in 1980, Woodmeister Master Builders is an award-winning General Contractor and Architectural Millwork Shop headquartered in Holden, Massachusetts. In collaboration with the industry’s top design professionals, our projects cover not only regional but national and international locations alike.

spaces, maximizing the visual and physical relationship between the two.

Taking cues from the home’s sparse, minimalist architecture, we conceived an Asian-inspired courtyard garden leading to the front entry. The garden sets the tone for the home, communicating both serenity and drama through its use of stone and water.

Although the interior is considered open concept, the collaboration between interior and landscape design

created spaces that feel intimate and personal. The landscape was designed so that the view from each room has a unique sculptural focal point in the foreground specific to that room but with a connection to the shared background of the river.

We are a design and build firm providing landscape architecture, interior design, and construction services in New England, along the Eastern Coast, and abroad.

THIS IS WHAT creativity looks like.

When we look at the work of the five talented and hardworking people chosen to receive this year’s 5 Under 40 awards, we see the best of New England’s emerging design. Whether they create landscapes, lighting fixtures, buildings, or interiors, theirs are the voices we’ll be hearing a lot more from in the future.

Each of these young professionals has something to say that’s new and fresh.

Now in its tenth year, 5 Under 40 is always a welcome challenge for the judges tasked with choosing five winners from the wealth of entrants.

This year’s panel comprised architect Christopher Hall; interior designer Paula Daher; Michael Coutu, principal of the Sudbury Design Group; and Meg Kimball, owner of Modern Relik.

Former editor in chief Kyle Hoepner coordinated the process.

The judges chose the following five designers to receive this year’s honors: architect Thomas McNeill, interior designers Dane Austin and Tyler Karu, landscape designer Cheryl Russ, and lighting designer Miles Endo.

“It was clear that the winners were head and shoulders above the others,” Daher says. “There were no ties; we judges felt there were very obvious winners. Each of them had a beautiful body of work that is so creative. Especially

important to us was their commitment to community service.”

Clearly, these five young people not only do inspired work, they also work to make the world a better place. They will be honored on the evening of September 12 in the galleria outside the Landry & Arcari Rugs and Carpeting showroom at 333 Stuart Street in Boston.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Cheryl Russ The best thing that can happen to a landscape architect, says Cheryl Russ, is having a client say the family is spending more time together as a result of her work.

“I love what I do, and I think it shows,” says Russ. “I am always designing, and I am

outside a lot.”

Landscape design was not her first career choice, however. “I grew up in Rhode Island and wanted to be an engineer or an architect,” she says. “My parents told me that if I went to a state school, they would pay for the first two years of college.

When I went to the University of Rhode Island, I couldn’t get into the engineering school, so I enrolled in the landscape architecture program.”

She earned a bachelor’s degree and a Master Gardener’s Certificate and, four days after graduation began work at Glengate, a landscape and pool design company headquar200 New England Home | September–October 2019

SO19 5Under40.indd 200

tered in Wilton, Connecticut. She has been there ever since, rising from an associate in the floral department to becoming one of the company’s sought-after senior project designers.

She believes that her experience gives her a more practical approach to landscape design. “Many landscape architects don’t have a lot of plant knowledge.

They don’t know how they mature in real life, and they put plants in the wrong places, too close together, or where the soil is not right for the plant.”

The landscape, she believes, should be an extension of the home and reflect its style.

“For a modern house, I use different structural plants, more evergreens, and clean lines. A traditional house might have more perennials, lots of color, and a country-garden feel.” And of course, she adds, “For a yearround home, it’s important to design for the winter as well as the summer.”

INTERIOR DESIGN

Dane Austin Dane Austin says that color is the thread that runs through his aesthetic.

“Color is my life, and I use it in daring ways. Lots of people are afraid of color because mass marketing has force-fed us beiges. Yet color is the single greatest way to express personality,” he says. “Things don’t have to match—they just have to go!”

The Boston-based designer credits his grandmother with awakening him to the possibilities of living in beautifully designed homes. “I was born in the Midwest, surrounded by farms. When I was six, we moved to Annapolis, Maryland, to live with my grandparents. Their home was full of objects of art, beautiful furnishings, and paintings from their travels. My grandmother had a tufted sofa in the

202 New England Home | September–October 2019

SO19 5Under40.indd 202

style of Dorothy Draper—it’s in my home today. That’s when I learned that I wanted to live graciously and to create happy spaces where people could live their best life.”

His grandfather instilled in him a strong community spirit. “He taught me that being part of a community is giving back. Today, I can’t imagine going through life without being involved locally.”

Austin says that his relationship with his clients is the best part of the job. He loves the challenge of doing something new with each project. “I like it when people have favorite pieces that they want to incorporate into my design: it gives their home a soul.”

The best rooms, he says, are like paintings. “They are never really finished, they just stop at interesting places.”

SPECIALTY DESIGN: LIGHTING

Miles Endo When Miles Endo founded his design studio in 2012, he began by making furniture. In 2016, when he introduced his line of unique, streamlined lighting fixtures, everything changed. “Almost overnight, people stopped ordering furniture. All they wanted was lighting,” says Endo, whose eponymous studio is located in Providence. “Now, lighting is our specialty.”

He has devised a system that’s almost endlessly customizable: flat sheet metal is cut with a laser and shaped into an open channel. The channel is lined with a curved polymer that softens and reflects the LED bulbs placed inside. The steel is finished with powder-coated paint in six colors, ranging from metallic gold and copper to satin black and white.

The pieces hang from thin, strong wire made in England.

“Every line is clean,” Endo says.

“The pieces, which are actually very

light in weight, can be hexagonal, rectangular, or other geometric shapes. We make pendants, chandeliers, and the concept lends itself beautifully to lighted mirrors.

“A lot of chandeliers actually don’t give a lot of light,” he adds. “But ours are very functional.”

Lightweight and ethereally contemporary, the Studio Endo lighting fixtures have caught on with a national audience. “We used to sell primarily in New York and on the West Coast, but a lot of our new projects are now in Boston,” Endo says.

“I am always surprised because people with traditional interiors like our fixtures. I thought that my design sensibility didn’t fit New England taste.

As it turns out, people like a modern touch, even in traditional homes.”

One of his most popular creations, the five-foot-tall Orbis, is often used as a statement piece in entries. But he plans to branch out to offer smaller, more portable lighting fixtures. We can’t wait to see them.

ARCHITECTURE

Thomas McNeill Thomas McNeill can’t remember a time in his life when he wanted to do anything but be an architect. “My mother was an artist who had an innate sense for scale and proportion, while my father was a weekend builder.

My mother taught me to love art and design, and my father taught me how to put the world together.”

McNeill pursued his dream career with practical, hands-on measures. When he was still in high school, he worked each day after school for an architectural firm in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where he grew up. Upon graduation, he enrolled at Boston Architectural College. “It was affordable for me,” he says. “It’s an eight-year program in which you work during the day, then at 4 p.m., you begin classes.

206 New England Home | September–October 2019

SO19 5Under40.indd 206

It’s a lot of pressure, but when you finish, you have eight years of work experience.”

In 2010, McNeill joined the staff of Hutker Architects, where he managed the redesign and construction of the firm’s Falmouth location. With his boss and forty coworkers as clients, he led the transformation of what had been considered perhaps the least appealing building in area. It is now considered an appropriate gateway to the town.

McNeill considers himself a modernist. “I believe that less is more, but I can also work in a traditional style, perhaps simplified a little so that it looks like a building of today that pays homage to yesterday.”

What matters most, he says, is making his clients’ lives better.

“The most rewarding part is helping people to live in their homes in a fully realized way.”

INTERIOR DESIGN

Tyler Karu Tyler Karu’s design heroes are women from the 1940s and ’50s, like Ray Eames and Florence Knoll. But when it comes to her own design work, she says that her style runs the gamut from historic restoration to of-themoment contemporary. “I can work with any architect, builder, or client because of my construction background,” says the interior designer, who is based in Portland, Maine.

In 2007, Karu had just completed a two-year design program when the economy took a downturn. As design work dried up, she flipped houses to make ends meet. “My father was a real estate developer, so that was not a scary world for me,” she explains. “House prices were low after the crash. I focused on distressed properties in Portland and hired people I knew, fixing them up and selling for a profit. As the 208 New England Home | September–October 2019

SO19 5Under40.indd 208

economy rebounded, I found myself taking on design clients, while flipping houses was still my full-time job.

Over the last five years, my career has found its way back to where I began.”

She calls a lot of today’s design “derivative, because social media drives so much of it. But I’m not interested in that at all; I am not affected by trends. For me, the design process is fundamentally rooted in the architecture of the home and the style of the client. And I am fortunate to get great clients.”

Like all of this year’s winners, she is a strong believer in the importance of connecting to the greater community. “It’s our civic duty as business owners to give back.”

That philosophy stood out to judge Michael Coutu of Sudbury Design Group. “What was most impressive about all these candidates, besides their obvious talent,” he says, “was their commitment to community service.”

THE DESIGN PROCESS AT WORK Cheryl Russ

Dane Austin

Miles Endo

THE ONLY LIMITATION GIVEN TO the 5 Under 40 award winners in this annual design exercise is to keep the rug size to less than forty square feet.

“Well, we also ask them to try to keep the silk content under 20 percent to hold down production costs,” says Eric Brissette, who heads up custom rug production at Landry & Arcari.

“But if they add more silk, we let them.”

That sums up the freewheeling environment in which designers who usually work with space or light or acreage take on a very different design project: as part of the 5 Under 40 celebration, each designs a rug. Tibetan weavers in Nepal turn their sketches into reality, and the finished rugs are auctioned off at the September celebration. Proceeds go to Barakat, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based nonprofit that benefits education in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“This year, the rug designs that emerged are very personal,” Brissette says. “Each one says something about the person who created it.”

Tyler Karu’s composition was inspired by her home state of Maine, a Japanese textile, the warm, earthy tones she’s drawn to these days, and her ultimate design passion: the golden mean. Her rug uses a nautilus shell to demonstrate those proportions. “There’s also a nod to the fiddlehead fern because I’m a Mainer,” she says.

ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Barakat is an organization dedicated to providing exemplary basic education in Afghanistan and Pakistan, particularly for girls and women. Just over 3,000 students, ranging in age from 5 to 75, are enrolled in

210 New England Home | September–October 2019

SO19 5Under40.indd 210

Barakat schools and at-home literacy programs. Each year, rugs designed by the 5 Under 40 winners are auctioned off at the September awards celebration to benefit Barakat. To date, the New England design community has come together to raise

Thomas McNeill used his rug design to explore the nature of change. “There was a pond I grew up on that was drained, and the area became a terrible wasteland. Now

there is all this wonderful new growth, and a spring has bubbled up. My design represents that geography and is a reminder that there’s beauty in change.”

Landry & Arcari’s Ken Gurley (center) helped shepherd the 2019 winners through the process of designing their rugs.

$185,140 for the charity. “This event has helped to put 29,762 women and children through school,” says Barakat’s executive director, Dr. Arti Pandey.

Like last year, funds from this year’s rug auction will go toward a college scholarship program for girls. “Seven candidates

have been identified for the scholarship program for this year,” says Pandey.

“Four of them are girls who are studying medicine. Barakat is currently funding two of the four girls and will be adding on the remaining candidates.”

The cycle of helping others continues.

“You’d think I’d do something green,” Cheryl Russ says. “But I was on a Women in Landscape Architecture Walk and was inspired by a crosswalk I saw, which reflects where I am in my career.”

Dane Austin designed his rug to reflect his favorite view of the sky: from below a tree, looking up through its foliage. “When I go to a park or a beach, I love to lie on the ground and stare up at the trees,” he says. “The blue sky, green leaves, and brown bark are so beautiful.”

Miles Endo’s round blue-and-white rug has a central hub, which he says represents Boston. “I am drawn to six-sided shapes and, in my rug, the hub is surrounded by six lobes, for the six New England states.”

If designing a rug was a bit out of their comfort zone, the 5 Under 40 winners enjoyed both the challenge and the resulting camaraderie. As Austin puts it, “I loved the collaboration with my fellow designers. The whole experience was joyful.”

All Dressed Up: She Says

“Do you remember that scene in Sex and the City when Mr. Big builds the dressing room for Carrie?” asks Jess Cooney. “For a lot of women, a dressing room is the epitome of luxury.” A trip to Portland, Maine’s Angela Adams showroom inspired this dressing room; that’s where Cooney first saw the desk that she repurposes as a vanity. The majority of the room’s components are made locally. “I do what I can to keep my clients’ money in their community,” Cooney says. | Jess Cooney Interiors, Great Barrington, Mass., jesscooney.com

“I’m hyper-organized, and I think that’s why dressing rooms appeal to me,” says Kurt Hakansson. His firm specializes in custom cabinetry, but he says a dressing room can also include furniture components such as a bureau. The one feature that’s essential?

A place to showcase shoes. “If you’re lucky enough to have a dressing room, you also own shoes that should be seen.

But men don’t take care of their shoes the way they used to. Thus, the shoeshine kit.” | Hakansson Design Group, Boston, Mass., khdesigngroup.com

Five Questions

CEO Field and Vice President MacDonald in the Leonards showroom.

Jeff Field and Lois MacDonald will tell you a Leonards bed is so much more than the sum of its antique parts.

1

Leonards sells a variety of antiques but is best known for its antique and reproduction beds. Why beds?

Lois MacDonald: Everybody needs a bed. They are a very personal piece of furniture, a place to feel secure and comfortable as well as a place to get away from it all. Jeff Field: We spend a third of our lives in bed. One should look forward to going to bed and wake up happy. A wonderfully carved bed made from elegant wood can help heighten that experience.

L.M.: The Leonards developed this niche—selling resized

antique beds—back in the 1930s. Other dealers hated antique beds because they had so many parts: posts, rails, a canopy frame, and specialized hardware. But the Leonards saw a need that they could fill. They came up with the idea of resizing antique beds to fit larger modern-day customers.

2

What inspired them to begin resizing antique beds?

L.M.: When they were about to get married, Lester Leonard’s wife-to-be, Hazel, told him she wanted an antique

Five Questions

bed. But available beds were too small.

Most were what were called three-quarter beds and were just forty-eight inches wide. As a wedding present to her, he retrofitted an antique bed, using antique posts and side rails and headboard, and designed it to take a standard double mattress. People admired it and started asking him to make similar beds for them. That’s how they got into the bed business and began making resized and custom beds using antique components such as posts and rails. They even standardized bed hardware by producing bolts that all had the same threading.

3

How does resizing an antique bed affect its value?

L.M.: A bed’s value is actually enhanced when resized. Appraisers agree that a bed, compared to other antiques, can withstand a far more complete restoration. Experts advise that the two key pieces of an antique bed that should not be altered are the two foot posts,

which are usually more elaborately carved than the head posts. That’s because these are the posts you see when you first enter a bedroom as well as what you see when you’re lying in bed. J.F.: Resized antique beds also hold their value because they are long-lasting and resalable. They are portable and are easy to take apart and reassemble. People are often surprised that we can fit a whole disassembled king or queen bed into a four-door sedan.

4

How do you help clients find a bed that fits their needs?

Clients can buy ready-to-go beds, or we can help them find just the right elements, so they can have a custom bed. Some come to us like they are on a hunt, digging through our collections of antique bed posts to find what appeals to them. We ask them about sleeping heights, what finishes they like, and more. L.M.: We work with both designers and customers and enjoy helping them design a bed that they love.

I recently had a customer who told me she wanted a bed that was low enough that her dog would be able to jump up on it.

Another wanted a high bed, so their dog

couldn’t jump onto it. We made them both happy.

5

Tell us something about antique beds that might surprise us?

L.M.: The phrase “sleep tight” comes from antique beds. Instead of being supported by box springs as mattresses are today, antique mattresses were suspended on canvas that was tied with rope to the bed frame. Over time, these ropes would loosen, and the canvas would sag, much like a hammock. To “sleep tight,” one had to tighten the ropes to pull the canvas taut. J.F.: Many antique bedpost finial carvings have a symbolic meaning that modern buyers may be unaware of. The cannonball represents sturdiness. The tulip happiness and serenity.

The acorn represents new ideas. L.M.: And the pineapple symbolizes welcome and hospitality. It is said, however, that while a pineapple was placed in a room to welcome a guest, it would be moved outdoors after three days or so as it started to get funky, a not-so-subtle suggestion to guests that their time, too, was up. | Leonards, Seekonk, Mass., 508-3368585, leonardsantiques.com

Shop Visit

Cottage Industry

Nancy Hemenway, proprietor of The Cottage at Four Corners, has been a design world star for decades. Her talents brought her first to Boston’s Design Research, a legendary 1950s atelier that’s widely credited for instigating today’s lifestyle stores. She followed up that stint in the ’70s in Manhattan, launching the first U.S. Marimekko. Fans—many with big names—came to the shop in droves.

Considering Hemenway’s know-how, it’s no wonder then that for some twenty-six years The Cottage has reigned as a top design destination. Once a service station, the revamped two-story building is as lightfilled and airy as a tree house. Everything on display—from the Lee Industries and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furniture (all of which can be customized) to John Derian’s decoupage dishes—has been carefully chosen. “People today want great quality and comfort,” Hemenway explains. “The shop is heavily curated, allowing you to see, touch, and feel things.” Indeed, there’s a generous rack of Dash & Albert rugs to spark up your space, a buffet of glossy coffee table books (plenty devoted to cooking) to linger over, and aromatic candles to lift the spirits. The Palermo all-natural skin products promise beauty and health.

| BY MEGAN FULWEILER |

And there’s even a bounty of eco-friendly home-care concoctions by Laundress. Tableware, lamps, baskets, garden accessories—Hemenway’s ever-evolving inventory encompasses all the fixings for living well, including John Robshaw’s chic block-printed bedding and handcrafted Bella Notte linens. In fact, she’s thoughtfully dressed a bed to illustrate how readily sleep might come amid such stylish goods. Like everything in this alluring shop, the bed, with its sky-high mound of pillows, is the stuff dreams are made of. | 3847 Main Road, Tiverton, R.I., 401-625-5814, thecottageri.com

What Makes It Work

Bright white with vivid accents equals a beachy, yet sophisticated, children’s room in a Nantucket home.

1. The Bauhaus-

influenced lamp from Normann Copenhagen, a playful, sculptural piece in bright primary colors and natural basswood, was designer Anne Becker’s starting point for the room.

2. In lieu of art, Becker

1

opted for bright red Schoolhouse Electric sconces to add a playful punch to the walls.

3. Wool pillows from

Anthropologie with a homey, hand-pieced look suggest maritime flags, a subtle nautical nod that avoids cliché.

2

4. White-lacquered

platform beds, designed

by BPC Architecture to look like built-ins, give the space a cozy, shipshape feel.

3

5. Is it the eye of a hurricane or a swirling eddy? No matter the interpretation, the blue-and-white rug is the perfect choice to speak—softly—to the home’s island location.

Scene & Heard

FAMILY AFFAIR

BY PAULA M. BODAH

Farmer Francesca Mazzilli raises lettuces in Clarke’s self-contained hydroponic farm.

FARM TO TABLE As purveyors of kitchen appliances for people who take cooking seriously, the folks at Clarke believe that fresh, wholesome ingredients are just as important as quality appliances. To that end, the company—which sells Sub-Zero, Wolf, Cove, and other high-end appliances—has taken up farming. A forty-foot-long, solarpowered, self-contained hydroponic farm, from the Bostonbased Freight Farms, sits outside its Milford, Massachusetts, showroom. Farmer Francesca Mazzilli raises lettuces, herbs, and vegetables all year long for use in cooking demonstrations, events, and tastings at Clarke’s Milford, Boston, and South Norwalk, Connecticut, showrooms. The miniature farm raises enough food to offer each showroom customer a head of fresh lettuce and a weekly share of produce for every Clarke employee. | clarkeliving.com

Local Hero

We always knew Bob Ernst, of FBN Construction, was a stand-up guy, so we weren’t at all surprised to hear he has been chosen as the 2019 honoree for Outstanding Commitment

It was a marriage made in heaven for Joan and Jeff Grady.

The two met at High Point while he was at the Pacific Design Center and she was a Boston showroom manager for a furniture company. Years—and several now-grown children later—the two are officially going into business together, launching J. Grady Home. Based in the Annisquam neighborhood of Gloucester, Massachusetts, the new company offers interior architectural design, interior decoration, kitchen and bath renovation, help with renovating for accessibility, and staging services for those planning to sell their homes. | jgradyhome.com

Retail Therapy

Homeowners and designers who love the breezy California style of Serena & Lily will be delighted to know that the company is opening a Boston-area showroom Serena & Lily this fall. The shop, slated for a mid-September launch, will stand at Chestnut Hill Square. While the 4,200-square-foot space will have the company’s signature coastal casual look and feel, it will also reflect its New England location, especially in its curated collection of original works of art by area artists. I serenaandlily.com

Boston’s SOWA neighborhood continues its growth as a design Mecca, with the opening of Modern Relik on Harrison Avenue. Owner Meg Kimball and design director John Dransfield are taking full advantage of the new showroom’s 6,000-square-foot expanse, installing a café and a floral area to appeal to customers’ senses of taste and smell, in addition to the visual and tactile delights of the shop’s furniture, art, lighting, accessories, vintage finds, and treasures from around the globe.

The store’s Waltham, Massachusetts, location will become a by-appointmentonly warehouse. | modernrelik.com

BENVENUTO!

Miami Roll Sofa

Studio Verticale is introducing the Italian furniture brand Baxter to New England, dedicating a 1,500-squarefoot space in its Boston showroom to the luxurious pieces designed and crafted in Italy. As envisioned by Baxter’s own team of designers, the space holds five zones, each featuring an arrangement comprising the company’s stylish leather seating, complementary furniture pieces, and lighting. | studioverticale.com

Moving Furniture

For years, Newport, Rhode Island-based furnituremaker Jeff Soderbergh had his eye on “a gem of a building” he thought would make a great showroom and studio. When the 5,000-square-foot facility became available, he jumped Soderbergh at the chance to move his Jeff Soderbergh Custom Sustainable Furnishings to Portsmouth, at the other end of Aquidneck Island.

Renovated with the help of Newport architectural designer Maria Aureli, the space holds Soderbergh’s studio in the back two-thirds. Up front, where windows look out onto the picturesque Island Park Beach, two spacious galleries display Soderbergh’s own creations as well as the work of a handful of his favorite local and international artists. I jeffsoderbergh.com

Sterling

Interior designer Justine Sterling celebrated the opening of her Melrose, Massachusetts, studio with a popup shop. The native of South Africa has been at the helm of her own Boston-area design firm for more than a decade now, and as a Melrose resident, she always dreamed of an in-town studio. On opening night, she was joined in the Cedar Park location by friends in the business who showed off their own unique talents. Ellen Rolli, who shares the space, displayed her abstract art, while textile artists Meredith Thayer and Ellisha Alexina toted along their locally designed and manufactured work. I justinesterling.com

WELL PRESERVED The 1837 Greek revival home built in Chatham, Massachusetts, by Captain Enoch H. Howes and his wife, Patia, looks as good as new, thanks to its new owners and the work of Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders (PSD). The town’s Historical Commission, Historic Business District Commission, and Historical Society must think so, too, because they gave the East Harwich, Massachusetts, firm a Chatham Preservation Award for the home’s renovation.

Since the inception of the biannual awards, in 2004, PSD has been recognized Sharon and for twelve of its John DaSilva projects. | psdab.com

Back in 2015, architect Leslie Schneeberger, a longtime Cape Cod resident, opened the Chatham office of the Bostonbased SV Design, Siemasko + Verbridge. Four years later, the firm has continued to grow, adding staff to expand its services, which cover the gamut from architecture to interior and landscape design.

The new, larger space, at 693 Main Street in Chatham, accommodates that growing staff while still being conveniently close to the town’s charming downtown. | svdesign.com

Premier Properties

restaurants, and famed merry-go-round. Walk in the other direction for East Beach, featuring some of the finest white sand on the East Coast.

Duly Noted: The original house was built on 122 acres of farmland by the Foster family, circa 1733. It was called the Vose farmhouse after its next owner, who acquired the property in 1848. In 1882, one Charles Everett of Tenafly, New Jersey, bought the property.

And in 1886, a consortium from Cincinnati acquired the property (by then it had grown to 160-plus acres).

The “syndicate,” as it was known, subdivided the land into lots for a number of wealthy families, many from the Midwest, fleeing the stifling summer heat of landlocked states. At the turn of the last century, Watch Hill’s reputation as a premier destination for the wellto-do was cemented—and it remains to this day.

Vermont Horse Country

Surrounded by rolling hills and tree-lined country roads, Sheep Run Farm is an idyllic property in West Windsor, near Woodstock, Vermont. The land was settled by the Taylor family in the late 1700s; Ira Taylor, a son of the original owner, constructed a stately brick colonial home on ROOMS: 15 the property in 1842. He was a promi4 BEDROOMS 4 FULL BATHS nent sheep farmer who had numer3 HALF BATHS ous pens or “runs” on the property to 5,899 SQ. FT. contain his large herd. Hence the name $3,650,000 Sheep Run Farm. The current owners built a brand-new home inspired by Taylor’s, along with a detached garage, and they renovated all the outbuildings, completing the project in 2017. They say they wanted to reproduce a “truly Vermont vernacular home.” They don’t know what became of all the bricks from the Taylor house, but they used as many as they could find when they laid the pathways and edged the flowerbeds surrounding their new home. The main level has an open floor plan for the public spaces, plus four bedrooms and four full and three half baths. A theater occupies the lower level. The owners entertain in a number of outdoor spaces, and retreat to the three-season carriage house as often as possible. Says the husband:

“With the woodstove on and a great conversation, the space can’t be beat.” The wife’s favorite room is the kitchen, which she says is “equipped for a much better cook,” but she loves that it’s a perfect place for gathering.

Duly Noted: The great outdoors is its own selling point. There are stone bridges over brooks that make wonderful walking paths, waterfalls, two ponds, and an apple orchard. The property is a short drive to trails for skiing (downhill and cross-country), snowshoeing, and mountain biking. And in warmer weather, it’s simple enough to head to nearby lakes for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.

Beacon Hill Beauty

“Bells, whistles, and all the charm of Beacon Hill” is how listing agent Craig Brody describes this property’s appeal. Built in 1890, the 4,000-square-foot townhouse sits on the flat of Beacon Hill, steps away from the fine dining and shopping on Charles Street, overlooking the esplanade on the Charles River. A topto-bottom renovation of the interiors was undertaken

by Backen Gillam Architects out of California (the same firm that renovated Restoration Hardware’s Newbury Street spot).

The open plan is spacious and livable, with European oak floors and neutral ROOMS: 10 finishes throughout. Many architectural 5 BEDROOMS 5 FULL BATHS details remain intact. Five bedrooms 1 HALF BATH and five full baths can accommodate a 4,000 SQ. FT. large family—and/or lots of houseguests. $5,995,000 There’s a chef ’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and a gorgeous library with built-ins and a fireplace. In addition to common space, the deed includes a private garden in the back. Oh, and don’t overlook the wine cellar with a “secret” door that opens into the private lounge..

Duly Noted: This home’s appeal goes literally through the roof. While many luxury penthouse properties come with deeded rooftop space, this expansive roof-deck has several gathering areas for lounging and dining and a complete outdoor kitchen. So, you get a versatile entertaining space—in addition to a bit of privacy in the crowded city.

Design Ideas in the Making

For a designer, a daybed is an interesting form.

It doesn’t have the heightened practicality of a dining chair or barstool, so it can be looser in its utility. This design was inspired by Next Level, a designer-curated showcase that takes place during Design Week in New York City. I used this as an opportunity to introduce a new form to the O&G lineup and show a piece that was an idea, but not automatically a product.

Two things were important to me: to create an interesting, landscape-inspired gesture and to use upholstery as an integral part of the design. Chairs have a certain attitude: a closed piece that hugs you or an open piece that welcomes you. This is a combination of both. The offset backrail encloses the end, so you have to approach it the same way a boat might approach an inlet in the harbor—hence the name (a nod to the local landscape): the Inlet Daybed.

We stuck with materials that define our seating, like steambent wood frames and delicate spindles, and then incorporated soft leather cushions and a shaggy Mongolian lamb’s wool pillow. It didn’t need a pillow, but I wanted one. The combination conjures rocks (wood), sand (soft leather), and seaweed (the lamb’s wool). The down- and feather-filled leather cushion has a slightly informal look but is really luxurious. The daybed officially launched last month, representing the beginning of our new living room/lounge collection. | Jonathan Glatt, O&G Studio, Warren, R.I., oandgstudio.com
