Clodagh Speaking Event March 16th, 2017 11am Doors Open | Clodagh Speaking at 1pm Join us to hear renowned NY based interior designer Clodagh speak in our showroom.

Internationally acclaimed designer and philanthropist Clodagh passionately believes that good design supports well-being and that it can transform people’s lives. She feels that clutter can undermine serenity, but minimalism should not be self denying. The experience of entering a Clodagh designed space is one of blissful serenity. She is noted for her “life-enhancing minimalism.”

Raised in Oscar Wilde’s summer home in County Mayo in Ireland, Clodagh has been a constant force in the design world since her beginnings in couture fashion at the age of 17, Clodagh began her interior design business in Spain, and moved it to New York City in 1985 with the opening of Clodagh Ross Williams, a home design store in the East Village.

One of the world’s leading innovative multi-discipline design practices, Clodagh Design’s award-winning portfolio spans over 30 countries and a wide range of eco-conscious projects and products that include million-square-foot hotels, residential buildings, international spas, private residences, restaurants, retail stores and showrooms, offices, women’s apparel, cosmetic packaging, branding, furniture, home furnishings and even luxury yachts.

WHAT’S NEW

_LX_COM12_EditorLetter.indd 84

The season of renewal (current projects! fresh ideas!) is here—and yet spring can also be a time when buds take a tad longer to bloom and concepts need coaxing to get started. We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also

present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles.

This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look. We’ll be tweaking things in the weeks to come, but hope you enjoy our ever-evolving digital home for design inspiration and discovery.

Luxe Interiors + Design Arizona wrapped up 2016 with some great events! On November 2, we held a happy hour at Wine Cellar Experts in Scottsdale, where guests toured the renovated studio and discussed wine cellar design with owner Rick Benson. Then, on November 16, Luxe joined Central Arizona Supply’s East Meets Southwest event at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Phoenix, which was transformed with uplit TOTO displays. Guests enjoyed a traditional tea ceremony, music and design presentations. On November 30, Tony Sutton of Est Est Inc. and PHX Architecture’s Erik Peterson gave a presentation on “Modern Views Through Contemporary Windows” at Scottsdale’s MG Window & Door. Lastly, on December 13, Luxe partnered with Sub-Zero and Wolf for a holiday celebration. Designers packed the Scottsdale showroom and relished in fabulous tastings by top Arizona chefs. Hinkley’s Lighting Factory curated the speakeasy-inspired outdoor cigar lounge, and Plant Solutions enhanced the event’s festive decor. Enjoy the spring edition, and be sure to note the experts showcased in our special advertorial section, “Trends in Building + Renovation.”

BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design.

They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.

EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver

What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves

by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.

LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 98

MARK ROSKAMS Photographer / New York Whose work are you most influenced by? Photographer Raymond Meier, who does such brilliant and innovative work in the commercial advertising and editorial fields; photographer François Halard, who developed a unique style in the world of interior photography; and designer and artist Doug Meyer, a longtime friend and collaborator who gives me so much inspiration in regards to design. What type of design inspires you? I really enjoy Santiago Calatrava’s bridges, buildings and public spaces, as well as Brutalist architecture of the old regimes, which are such amazing structures in their own right. Favorite assignments: In 2010, I worked on a book with Rizzoli in Puglia, Italy, and then on a second book last year. They were both great projects, and the memories of meeting people and seeing firsthand the beauty of many things—humanity, history, architecture, life, food and passion—will last forever. I am continuing this endeavor with a new book I am planning this year on the stables and barns of the British Isles.

LAURA FISHER KAISER Writer / Washington, D.C. My biggest creative influence comes from… Viewing art. I try to go to a museum once a week. Dream assignment: I would love to have a time-machine talk show called What Were You Thinking, where I interview famous, and infamous, people from history. Most-loved book: The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World by Andrea Wulf. She rummages through the scientist’s notebooks and inside his mind to show how his ideas helped create modern environmentalism. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Think big, but master the details. Also, find a good therapist. If not a writer, I would be… A Smithsonian museum curator.

MAKING DESIGNERS AND CRAFTSMEN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE BUILDING NEW FUTURES TOGETHER AND REDEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE MADE IN AMERICA. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

The portrait of an artist as a solitary genius, toiling away and perfecting his craft in isolation, may be a romantic notion—a testament to a love of artistry so intense and allconsuming that nothing else matters—but it’s also a relic of the past. Today’s craftsmen and creatives don’t want to suffer for their art; instead, they’re using their creations to build bridges not only to the people who will ultimately invite the pieces into their homes but also to those who share their passions: fellow makers. As manufacturing in America continues to fight to thrive in the competitive global economy, the you-can’tsit-with-us mentality is giving way to communal tables, which in many cases have been built in collaboration by the people who sit around them. In places all over the country, this longing for connection is redefining what it means to be made in America, resulting in growing communities of independent designers who work side by side, collaborate regularly and sell their wares together. Here, we share some of our favorites.

NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn.

Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space.

DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).

▲ JOIN DESIGN

SEATTLE WHAT IT IS: Founded in 2008 by the prolific minds behind some of the Pacific Northwest’s most successful creative practices—Grain, Iacoli & McAllister and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, for example—Join Design has become much more than a venture to showcase local talents and now includes more than 50 members

LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 104

from independent design studios all over the country. WHAT IT DOES: In addition to hosting events and exhibits featuring products (made in the USA, of course) from its impressive roster of makers, Join also solicits new product design, curates its own collections for popular trade shows, offers mentorship programs and organizes retail pop-ups. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Multimedia artist Aleksandra Pollner’s

unique and modern approach to traditional furniture constructs, as shown in the table above, left, is breathtaking; designer Melanie Abrantes creates chic accessories (above, right) using beautifully grained wood and cork, the nonconventional material of our dreams; and The Granite’s expert handling of form and function makes even the most mundane of objects extraordinary.

L.A. BOX COLLECTIVE

LOS ANGELES WHAT IT IS: A community built by Los Angelesbased furniture makers, L.A. Box Collective started as a way to bond over the group’s shared commitment to working with sustainable materials while engaged in sustainable practices— something they continue to honor through a particularly thoughtful mission statement. WHAT IT DOES: Not only does the collective encourage and provide support to makers who seek to tackle their craft with a mindful approach to the environment, it also puts on joint exhibitions of work completed under a common theme: For example, last year, its 10 members debuted a show at the Craft & Folk Art Museum, titled “Windfall,” which featured new works crafted exclusively from wood sourced from local trees felled during California’s historic San Gabriel Valley windstorm of 2011. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Casey Dzierlenga splits her time between Los Angeles and her home base in New York’s Hudson River Valley, where she mostly mills wood from her own land before transforming it into clean-lined masterpieces with an organic feel, as demonstrated by the wonderfully simplistic yet impactful aesthetic of the Alma credenza and Lorca coffee table

(shown above and right); while a foundation and love for midcentury designers fuels designer and craftsman David Johnson’s original works as well as his careful Danish modern restoration projects that somehow capture and preserve their makers’ intentions while offering up a little something extra.

PARIS WHAT IT IS: A Paris-based showroom dedicated to introducing international design lovers to the best of American design, Triode is expanding the conversation surrounding what it means for a product to be made in America to a whole new audience. Founder Jacques Barret presents this generation of American classics along with reissues from greats like Finn Juhl and Richard Neutra. WHAT IT DOES: Barret is making the domestic design movement cool again by bringing it to the epicenter of global chic, Paris— home to one of the furniture industry’s most well-respected yearly celebrations, Maison & Objet—and allowing the pieces to stand on their own against friendly competition from all over the globe. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Based in New York, Anna Karlin’s eye-catching contemporary furniture forms (shown at left) feel vaguely European but are all produced with the help of local artisans; and Apparatus, Rosie Li and Bec Brittain’s illuminated offerings break the mold on traditional lighting from studios in Brooklyn.

HUBBARDTON FORGE’S DESIGN DIRECTOR DAVID KITTS SHARES HOW ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S OLDEST AND LARGEST COMMERCIAL FORGES IN OPERATION IS EXPANDING—WITH ITS NEWEST LINE, VERMONT MODERN—AND REDEFINING AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings.

We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging.

Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged

LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 108

together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out.

Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.

Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? While I am intrigued by the Metro pendant (shown here), and the duality of its piping acting as a functional and primary decorative element, I am also drawn to our Copernicus design. It is very different from anything we have ever done, as it is very minimal and comprises only three basic components: an LED light, steel rails, and wooden balls that act as isolators. In the past, we would have tried to add a forged-steel element to give it something more, but with Vermont Modern we are really trying to keep the design pure by boiling it down to its innate essence.

PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .

Hubbardton Forge’s newest collection is innovative and fresh and marks a shift from its more traditional offerings. What was the inspiration behind the line? The initial goal for Vermont Modern was to appeal to a younger, more urban demographic, to people who appreciate high-quality, contemporary design from a socially responsible domestic manufacturer who still crafts each piece one at a time.

DESIGN PASSPORT LOOKING TO BOOKMARK A NEW MUST-READ WEBSITE? LUXE CATCHES UP WITH COSTAS VOYATZIS, THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND YATZER.COM AND ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING VOICES IN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA PORTRAIT BY YIORGOS KAPLANIDIS

What made you decide to launch Yatzer?

My obligatory draft in the Greek military came up. I had actually delayed it for quite a while, but at the age of 26, I couldn’t put it off anymore.

So, I was drafted, and I had to leave my job, the career I was forging and all the contacts I had made behind, and I worried that the year and a half in the military would halt my career. It was this fear, that I’d lose touch with the industry, that actually became the catalyst for yatzer.com.

I wanted to stay connected even though I wasn’t physically present. It began as my private blog and evolved into what it is today.

Share your most-loved part of the job.

I love to attend trade shows and do market coverage because I always discover hidden design gems. Although it takes days to complete my research after the shows, I can’t wait to press the publish button and share my discoveries with people who don’t have the chance to travel

LX_COM12_Radar_Yatzer_.indd 112

PORTRAIT LOCATION: ELECTRA METROPOLIS ATHENS . PRODUCT VIGNETTES: COURTESY YATZER.COM .

Perhaps it’s not hard to believe that the same place that gave us the Acropolis and the Parthenon—Athens, Greece—would still be making major offerings to the worlds of architecture and design. Today’s contributions, though, aren’t being built with painstakingly stacked brick or stone, but with pixels: Greek native Costas Voyatzis’ international website, yatzer.com, has become an undeniable resource for design lovers all over the globe.

Here, Voyatzis, a former magazine editor and avid traveler, retraces the path that led him to creating one of the hottest corners on the web and serves as the super-hip tour guide for all the best of the overseas creative scene. yatzer.com

and attend these shows but want to “relive” them through my eyes. But, also, it is important to cover these events for the people—designers and companies—who, although they have participated in the shows, due to their hectic schedules, don’t even have the time to check out what’s happening in the stand around the corner from theirs or in a different hall from the one they are in.

Do you have any favorite trade shows?

Definitely the first place belongs to Salone del Mobile Milano, which is a part of a much bigger event, Milano Design Week. Although there is never enough time to see everything, it is still the place where the industry’s major trends are born. Next, I have to mention Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, because who can ignore Scandinavian design? And, then, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which has been happening every two years since 1968; the careful curatorial job behind it is visible in every detail of the fair.

Top five brands to watch in 2017: For furniture, I’ve got my eye on Ginger & Jagger out of Porto, Portugal; for lighting, London’s Bert Frank has so much promise; Fabscarte from Milan has my vote for shaking up the world of wallpapers; Barcelona-based Octaevo is turning traditional stationery on its head; and, finally, Kikof from Tokyo has absolutely incredible offerings in ceramic tableware.

Tell us about the products you have on your own wish list.

There’s desk sculptures by graphic designer and architect Kristina Dam from Copenhagen.

The set comes with a round paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass (all shown on previous page). I also love the Ora Sculptural

table clock by the Switzerland-based design duo Panter & Tourron—a collaboration between Italy’s Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron from France. The Stadium Light No. 1 by Danish furniture and product designer Niclas Jørgensen is also a favorite, as are the Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat. Finally, I’m a big fan of the Plugged series of carafes, jugs, soliflore and table lamps by Lebanese interior architect and product designer Richard Yasmine.

Why do you think it’s important to talk about design with a multicultural lens?

There are many design sites around the world that focus on domestic design, but I believe that yatzer.com gives readers a wider perspective.

It affords them the opportunity to see the trends as they are being created around the world, and they can therefore witness their progression and subsequent development.

Is there a particular country whose design scene is really interesting you right now?

What instantly comes to mind are the wireweaving works being created in Africa. These are amazing to me because the artists are combining modern technology—telephone wires—with traditional weaving techniques and craftsmanship. The results are so unique.

From top: The Plugged series of drink and glassware from Lebanese designer Richard Yasmine; an assortment of Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat; and the Ora Sculptural table clock by Panter & Tourron.

OPEN HOUSE SHOPS + SHOWROOMS

A trio of new shops and showrooms is spearheading luxury living for desert communities. Handcrafted rug manufacturer Organic Looms (2720 N. 68th St., Suite 1), which sources artisanal designs from destinations like Nepal and India, unveiled a new location in the Scottsdale Design District in September. Also in Scottsdale, high-end supplier of kitchen and bath products Expressions Home Gallery (7550 E. Greenway Rd., Suite 110) celebrated the opening of its showroom in January. The Maricopa County city location is the brand’s 15th overall and second in the state, joining its Gilbert address—where stylist and designer Kristen Forgione of The LifeStyled Company (217 N. Gilbert Rd., Suite 202) is swinging open the doors to her first brick-and-mortar location in March. In addition to serving as a studio, the space will be home to a retail venue showcasing a bevy of curated pillows, throws, gifts, wallpapers and more.

THE INSIDER CHECK IN MOUNTAIN SHADOWS

What once was old is new again, as the 1959 resort Mountain Shadows reemerges in Paradise Valley this year. When the midcentury hotspot was demolished three years ago, Scottsdale’s Westroc Hospitality and Dallas’ Woodbine Development Corporation partnered to bring it back to life. The rebuilt boutique hotel, which opened in February, boasts 183 rooms and suites, a restaurant and bar, an 18-hole golf course, two pools, a juice bar and a fitness facility. Those who prefer a more permanent stay can return in September, when the property will debut Mountain Shadows Resort Condominiums.

Designed by Scottsdale-based Allen + Philp Architects, the 42 luxury units come with membership privileges at the posh resort next door. mountainshadows.com

It was Phoenix’s authenticity that lured Matthew Trzebiatowski, architect and principal of Blank Studio Design + Architecture, to the desert locale in 2000 from Wisconsin. “Phoenix is still a young city, and a most tantalizing facet here is the scene is so genuinely and confidently about this place—it is not trying to be somewhere else or something it is not,” he reflects. In between drafting up his latest projects (a pair of new houses, a yoga studio and a sacred space for Unitarian Universalists, to name a few) and teaching courses at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin and the University of Arizona, the LEED-certified architect takes time to shed light on his favorite Phoenix spots that exude originality. blankspaces.net What’s intriguing you in the local design scene? Aaron Betsky, dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin, has been crafting the Taliesin West Lecture Series, which is bringing some of the most significant voices in design and architecture to the Valley. It is quite unprecedented, and the collective design IQ is increasing because of it.

One to watch: Photographer Bill Timmerman has singlehandedly defined how the architectural spaces created by Arizona architects are captured and presented. Timmerman discovers compositions that are fresh, unexpected and, at times, foreign even to the designers who created them.

Add to your calendar: I cannot speak highly enough of The Origins Project lecture series at Arizona State University, directed by professor and theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss. The series explores humankind’s fundamental questions about our origins and brings the world’s leading scientists, scholars and intellectuals together to discuss issues regarding the beginning of the universe and life, consciousness, culture and technology.

DATE BOOK CAVIN AND CLAIRE COSTELLO

There was a time during the housing bubble when few would have leapt at the opportunity to pursue a dream career in construction and architecture, but Cavin and Claire Costello took a risk that paid off when they launched their Phoenix architecture firm in 2010. Named for their admiration of the past ranchers and miners who paved the way for modern Arizonians, The Ranch Mine has since become known for its renovations and construction of new residences that capitalize indooroutdoor living. Cavin, a registered architect, handles the design, documentation and site visits of the firm’s projects, while Claire juggles the business aspect and interior and landscape specifications.

As their underlying approach, the couple aim to connect each design with its surrounds and rely on area experts. “Because our architecture is less about style and more about crafting a space specific to the homeowner and the neighborhood, we have to be very flexible and use a large variety of vendors in the valley,” Cavin says. The duo recently sat down with Luxe to divulge their list of what’s inspiring them in their hometown paradise of Phoenix. theranchmine.com 9 a.m. Start the morning at Luci’s at the Orchard. Enjoy an egg sandwich with coffee and a juice—a must.

10 a.m. Go for a walk on the Murphy Bridle Path, a 2.5-mile tree-lined path bordering Central Avenue.

Along the way, bask in the beauty of the old estates lining the street.

11 a.m. Frank Lloyd Wright has a number of buildings in Arizona, one of which is the First Christian Church. Go here to view the impressive architecture, which includes local stone; stained glass from France, Belgium and Italy; and a red square tile with Wright’s signature noting the building is true to his original design.

12 p.m. Head to Windsor for a porkwich, and then pop into Churn next door for an ice cream cookie sandwich. The locations make it easy to appease both sweet and savory cravings.

1 p.m. Shop the home accessories and gifts at For the People, which offers a mix of fun and modern local and international items. One of our favorite lines there is Finell, with its gorgeous handbags and serveware.

2 p.m. After all that eye candy, stop at Changing Hands Bookstore to feed the brain. There are so many used books to explore, and the space is anchored by old chandeliers and fireplaces.

3 p.m. The Melrose District is the best place to look for antique furniture.

Say hello to owner Ryan Durkin at Modern Manor and ask about the latest additions to the store; then, stop by Red Modern Furniture for one last shopping trip before dinner.

6 p.m. Grab a table at St. Francis, where the setting is raw and intimate; the play of materials creates a unique feel. You’ll have a hard time choosing an entrée, but don’t worry—you can’t go wrong.

8 p.m. Wrap up the day in the corner booth at Central Wine. Treat yourself to a three-offering flight, and be sure to leave with a bottle of your favorite.

IWC PORTUGIESER. THE LEGEND AMONG ICONS.

Portugieser Annual Calendar. Ref. 5035: It took Portugal’s ocean-going heroes centuries to become legends; IWC’s Por tugieser took just 75 years. For it is that long since the appearance of the first IWC Portugieser with a pocket watch movement marked the beginning of a new legendary era. And that revolutionary step forward is still mirrored today in the IWC-manufactured 52850 calibre. The fact that innovative new technology no longer needs an eternity to achieve legendary

status can be seen in the annual calendar, where the month, date and day can be read of f at a glance.

Medium: Gloss on aluminum. Trademark: Delicate while maintaining a distinct contemporary feel. Women’s intuition: To capture the female form in vulnerable and intimate moments. Sources of inspiration: Usually from an image I find or a photo I’ve taken. Over the last few years, my process is generally sparked by a person or people around me and something about them I want to capture. Art school confidential: I grew up in a creative household, so after receiving my degree in history, I returned to art school because it felt natural and right. Role models: Ellsworth Kelly, John Baldessari, Tom Wesselmann, William Eggleston and Annelies Strba. Life motto: Don’t 4 panic. My art is… Vivid, figurative, simple, seductive and graphic.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS

Medium: Acrylic, gouache and watercolor—layered with charcoal.

Trademark: Abstract Expressionist, representational and feminine.

Women’s intuition: The female form is universally relatable and beautiful, and I love to take that familiarity and turn it on its head.

Art game changer: Decidedly the biggest shift in my career was the decision to create for myself and not the market; it’s refreshing to produce work that I am passionate about. Creative influences: Painterly work—from Impressionism to John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes and glowing color—and Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. Never too many… Laughs, long conversations, lunch dates or snoozebutton hits. My art is… Gestural, energetic and mysterious.

CURVE APPEAL CAROLINE WALLS: IN HER WORDS

6

Medium: Both oil and synthetic polymer paint, along with charcoal and graphite. Trademark: Figurative—I tend to drift between abstract works, breaking down the line and form of a figure, and representational pieces. Women’s intuition: I deeply appreciate the aesthetics of the female form, its curves and sensuality, but I’m also interested in what lies beneath the surface, as the unseen aspects of a person are so easy to overlook. Art school confidential: I have always had a keen interest in the arts, so after five years of working abroad as a designer and art director, I finally returned to Melbourne, Australia, and enrolled in a postgraduate visual arts program.

Creative influences: Marlene Dumas, Elizabeth Peyton, Louise Bourgeois—all women who work figuratively and with the female form. My art is… Spontaneous, fluid, sensual, free and evocative.

CONCRETE JUNGLE A TOUCH OF GREENERY ACCENTUATES AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SIDE TABLES, CEMENTING THEIR STATUS AS CHIC ADDITIONS TO ANY URBAN DWELLING. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE BENSON

SUSAN COLLINS WEIR

INTERIOR DESIGNER STUDIOCOLLINSWEIR.COM

The Parker nesting tables… Play with motifs from various eras. It’s clear from the tables’ neoclassical and early-19th-century influences that Showers cleverly drew her inspiration from traditional, triedand-true European design that somehow feels extremely fresh. Composition: The decorative aspect of the design is a strong counterpoint to the minimal urban backdrop, while the decadent bronze complements the magnolia leaves, adding warmth to the concrete. On keeping it real: Authentic and original design is vital to the work of designers. It drives the profession forward and underpins our collective advances, challenging us to reinvent the norms and push art and design forward. I’m impressed with Showers’… Innate ability to mix and revamp decorative styles, and her line with Kravet exemplifies her knack for bringing this cross section of furniture genres to one of the industry’s top design powerhouses.

Creatively speaking: Good proportions and strong materiality are what I look for in an accent table, and these nesting tables epitomize both.

BRONZE BEAUTY THE PIECE: Parker Nesting Tables THE DESIGNER: Jan Showers FIND IT: kravet.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by her antique and vintage finds while traveling through Paris, Dallas design dame Jan Showers collaborated with Kravet to create a collection of glamorous yet practical pieces that add a stately-meets-subtle warmth to any setting. Showersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fondness for vintage brass and bronze, as well as good cable jewelry design, was the catalyst for the Parker nesting tables, which perfectly capture the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for all things Parisian.

TINY WONDER THE PIECE: Pedestal THE DESIGNERS: Vera Kleppe and Åshild Kyte FIND IT: esaila.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by a perennial curiosity to explore fresh materials and unexpected design forms, Norway-based design studio Vera & Kyte continually pushes the envelope with its sleek and electrifying creations. Pedestal holds true to those aesthetic ideals, making this versatile side table a perfect—and dynamic—addition to any home.

JEREMIAH BRENT INTERIOR DESIGNER JEREMIAHBRENT.COM

Vera & Kyte’s designs… Feel so easy and chic.

What a unique pairing of form and function throughout this piece while maintaining total simplicity; nothing is over-designed, and yet it still feels like high design. Material connection: I love how the marble and perforated steel almost seem at odds, yet they are so harmonious together. Having lived in New York City…

I am connected to this composition instantly.

There is nothing like partaking in daily life (which can be real and messy and beautiful all at the same time) in a place like New York to truly understand the concept of a “concrete jungle,” and this composition reflects that experience perfectly. Visual play: Pedestal’s luscious curves cast against the sharp corners of the concrete highlight Vera & Kyte’s piece in a distinctly effortless and luxurious way.

Creatively speaking: This table is a gorgeous compilation of so many periods of design and a true jack-of-all-trades: It’s as edgy as it is sophisticated and would work perfectly in just about any space.

I’m enamored by… Sean O’Hara’s masterful use of natural materials. The intricacy and sheer geometry it took to perfectly configure each piece into the finished product is incredible. This attention to detail and artistry elevates the design to an utmost standard of luxury. Material connection: These accent tables encompass multiple senses, providing not only sight and touch but also conjuring the sense of smell with their natural wooden qualities.

A statement piece… Like this one can stand proud on its own accord without the need for additional attendees. Let’s be honest, no one wants a room full of items that compete. There is beauty in the ability to cultivate and curate our surroundings. Design is cyclical… Ever-evolving and ever-changing. We have to be cognizant of the pulse that inspires us to reinvent and keep design current. Creatively speaking: This design reminds me to find playfulness in refinement and that whimsy and sophistication are a beautiful blend.

Assembled with layers of imbricated solid-wood plates and shown here in both the Grey Sienna and Espresso finishes, the Spruce occasional tables remind us that bucolicinspired designs are indeed evergreen.

The Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid table illustrates her aesthetic ideal, which Hable realized by mixing patterns to add dimension to each piece within the collection.

Mission accomplished.

TODD NICKEY + AMY KEHOE INTERIOR DESIGNERS NICKEYKEHOE.COM

Susan Hable’s designs… Seem rooted in nature, and we love her ability to create modern compositions with her subject matter.

Her collections with Maitland-Smith bring out the company’s whimsical side in an earthy and delightful way. Composition: The understated nods to an urban garden evoke, for us, a South American midcentury mood. Material connection: With its many iterations, terrazzo often gets overlooked in certain applications, as it’s often used in large commercial spaces. We love that this particular use of the stone blend appears to read as foliage and has a transporting quality.

There’s a reference to precious stones with this moody color palette that feels extremely luxurious as well. On keeping it real: In today’s crowded marketplace, we gravitate toward pieces with an emotional charge more than ever.

The artistic intentions in Susan’s designs do not go unnoticed here with this dynamic piece.

BELLA MANCINI

INTERIOR DESIGNER BELLAMANCINIDESIGN.COM

I find Darryl Carter’s work to be eternally inspiring: He is able to convey a sense of serenity with his nuanced neutral palette and minimalistic collections of sculptural furniture. Material connection: There is a subtle tension between the industrial feeling of the powder-coated metal base and the elegant marble top. Creatively speaking: I’m especially drawn to the asymmetry of the bases and how their restrained luster allows for the angles to pop. I’d love to flank a sofa with a pair and position them askew to bring visual interest to an elevation. The industrial quality… Of the metal and the dynamic twist in the base remind me of artist John Chamberlain’s sculptures made of crushed automotive metal. They both share a sort of “machine age” elegance. On keeping it real: In a very dense world of design, it’s imperative to have a narrative and remain authentic to your aesthetic and values. Carter’s collection with Milling Road is a perfect example of just that.

Inspired by a faceted bracelet, the accent table reads as a symbol of true luxury, resplendent and modern all at once.

With its silky gold bullion finish, the piece, dare we say, shines bright like a diamond.

SUMMER THORNTON

INTERIOR DESIGNER SUMMERTHORNTONDESIGN.COM

Caracole’s dazzling accent table… Reminds me of a cut-jewel ring. Those sharp angular cuts and that grandiose yet practical shape catch your eye the way a fine piece of jewelry might. Composition: I am all about contrast when designing a space, and the pairing of the industrial environment with an as-polishedas-they-come piece feels luxurious, personal and even a little edgy. Finishes are the key…

To a really gorgeous design. Oftentimes, gold and brass, albeit classics, just aren’t polished enough for me, but a gold bullion finish brings an incomparable sheen—it’s practically a gold mirror finish, which I find sexy and dramatic.

Creatively speaking: Much of my work is grounded in traditional lines and architecture, so I’m always on the hunt for pieces that provide that necessary edge. The shape and allure of Caracole’s design fits the bill in that it’s fresh with just the right amount of flair.

ELDORADO STONE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

When beginning the design or renovation of any outdoor living area, Brent Spann, president of Eldorado Stone, advises clients to “think about how you live and what you enjoy doing—be it reading, hosting, family time—and plan the space for that use.” He continues, “Ultimately it should fit the homeowner’s lifestyle and within the scale of the space ... with ample seating, a fire feature, shade and a kitchen, of course.” While many design trends come and go, the focus on indoor-outdoor spaces remains with an emphasis on creating a cohesive look for a seamless transition from the inside out. Conversation and living spaces with fire as a central point continue in popularity, as well as the extension of “smart-home” technology to outdoor living spaces. To accommodate today’s vast variety of outdoor options, Eldorado Stone offers an extensive outdoor product lineup, ranging from elegant fire bowls to inviting seating walls and beautiful outdoor kitchens, that transforms any personal retreat through color and texture. “We seamlessly marry design with functionality, making it easier than ever to create a memorable space,” Spann says.

Q+A What is inspiring you now?

Year-round use of the outdoor space, even outside of the Sun Belt. Creative use of the space and amenities beyond going outside to grill a steak. Also, creating secondary living spaces for smaller areas in your outdoor space, like in a side yard or balcony.

What are some design elements/innovations in outdoor living that you’re excited about?

Outdoor-rated fabrics, furniture and appliances that look like they would belong in your indoor space. Not your grandmother’s plastic-covered lounge chair.

What makes your product/brand distinctive in terms of material selection, product quality and functionality?

Our fire bowls bring a heightened level of design and elegance to any outdoor space and come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern. Made from strong, glass fiberreinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, each fire bowl renders a true one-of-a-kind creation with subtle variations in color and texture, similar to natural limestone.

FLEETWOOD WINDOWS & DOORS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

An integral component of every home design, windows and doors go beyond changing one’s view. They impact security, energy efficiency and the resale value of your home. So when choosing the right doors and windows, homeowners must consider myriad decisions; everything from material selection and insulation to ease of use and maintenance. And for a seamless transition from the inside to the outside, “your window and door products must blend with the architectural intentions of the home,” says Mark McCoy, General Manager of Fleetwood Windows & Doors.

To take the most advantage of the views, more and more homeowners are seeking larger expanses of glass for their multi-sliding and pocket doors, such as operable doors with leak-proof flush tracks that house glass larger than 60 square feet. “The insulated glass industry is introducing new technologies making larger glass available,” McCoy says. “And we are rising to the occasion, designing new and innovative products to accommodate this advancement with great success.”

“We create large, modern-style windows and doors that operate smoothly, require little maintenance and last for decades.”

THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE ALUMINUM Aluminum has become the material of choice for windows and doors because of its inherent strength, beauty and versatility.

Since 1961, Fleetwood Windows & Doors has been using this fantastic resource to create its enduring windows and doors. As the most green and sustainable window material, aluminum is in high demand in luxury modern home designs across the country.

To meet this demand along with the growing movement in green design, Fleetwood has applied thermal technology to its shapes to improve energy efficiency. Additionally, as insulated glass becomes available in larger sizes, the company continues to innovate with new aluminum products to accommodate today’s changing market.

HUBBARDTON FORGE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

Lighting designer and manufacturer Hubbardton Forge has helped extend interior residential spaces seamlessly to the outdoors with its equally aesthetic and functional light fixtures. “Today, we think about the ‘home’ differently. It doesn’t end at the back door,” says David Kitts, design director at Hubbardton Forge. “People want to live fully, both indoors and out. We have given a lot of thought, during the creative process, to materials and finishes that stand the test of time and weather.” This vigorous approach distinguishes the company, which has, despite its success, maintained its handcrafted, domestically made values. Founded (and still based) in Vermont, Hubbardton Forge makes sure that, as Kitts notes, “Any piece leaving the forge is touched by multiple hands throughout the process of its creation. When you look at a Hubbardton Forge lighting fixture, you’re seeing the artistic achievements of a team dedicated to design.”

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

The popularity of outdoor living continues to surge at a record pace with consumers prioritizing these spaces as critical to a home’s overall look, feel and design. One trend growing in popularity is 90-degree multi-slide doors which, according to Scott Gates, president and CEO of Western Window Systems, “enable consumers to utilize moving glass walls to open up two walls of their home and flow the kitchen and living room to the outside.” Sustainability is also key, and an essential part of the design process at Western Window Systems. “Outdoor living is enabling consumers to leave a smaller carbon footprint,” Gates continues. “By making their outdoor patio a true feature and living space of the home, consumers are now able to build smaller, smarter homes. We believe everyone deserves the ability to open up their home on a beautiful day to entertain guests, laugh around the fire pit and enjoy a beverage.”

“We create products that are taller, wider and with more glass than anyone else in the industry. ”

When I first approached the design process, I was inspired by this magnificent geometric ceiling carving I saw in an English manor,” Butera says. “And I’ve incorporated this pattern into carpets, wallpapers and now the fretwork for outdoor furniture; I think it translates beautifully!”

A ROOM WITH A HUE RICH PALETTES AND DRAMATIC CONTRASTS BRING ENERGY, PERSONALITY AND MAJOR STYLE TO THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes.

GREEN SCENE

DEVOL KITCHENS This British company is leading the way in kitchen design, offering a fresh take on traditional English style. For this particular project, designer Helen Robson employed unexpected color to create depth and drama. devolkitchens.co.uk

How do you usually bring personality into the kitchen? While open shelves are practical, they also allow the client to display a bit of character, whether it’s through a collection of bowls or, in this case, lots of old paintings. A kitchen is so much more than a utilitarian space and having an area to display something personal helps to create a warm, welcoming feel.

What’s your favorite thing about this design? I love that this kitchen is actually a really simple design of four bespoke cabinets. Simplicity is key in carrying off such a daring color choice. Of course, I also absolutely love the room’s originality and how it’s totally infused with the personality of the client. It never felt like she was trying to copy a look, but to devise something that was completely her own.

Share your vision for this project. Our client’s father was an antiques collector; so, we wanted to create something that really reflected that old gentleman’s club look. Dark colors are very of the moment, particularly green. In addition to being on trend, green also evokes nature. Part of the reason it works so well in this kitchen is that it ties the whole space together and brings about a cozy feel in an otherwise cavernous space.

WALL

The ever-popular color blocking trend isn’t confi ned to the runway. For this Laurel Canyon, California, kitchen, architect Barbara Bestor used a wall of dark blue and walnut cabinetry to anchor a predominantly white space. “The not-quite navy is a classic color, but here it feels modern,” says Bestor. Carrying the walnut through to the island and incorporating handmade ceramic lights by Heather Levine help balance the angular lines with more organic elements. The result: a cook space that’s sleek without sacrificing warmth. bestorarchitecture.com

When a stove is the star attraction, the supporting players need to stay relatively neutral, as in this family kitchen from Sarah Richardson Design.

“The client requested the La Cornue range, so we decided to go bold with the color and mix metals for interest,” says designer Natalie Hodgins, who, along with Kate Stuart, helmed the project for the firm. Keeping the fixed elements, such as the soft gray millwork and honed marble countertops, quiet allows the bright blue stove and hood to steal the show. sarahrichardsondesign.com

PATTERN MAKER

Whether used in a backsplash or underfoot, tile is a sure way to dial up the pizzazz in the kitchen. Proving that even the classics can benefi t from a revamp, both subway and hexagonal styles feel exciting when rendered in new colors and finishes, as demonstrated in the above offering from Clé. The company’s latest hex collection features subtle color blocking in blush and coral shades and can be rotated numerous ways to produce different, graphic designs. cletile.com

Artisan Tracy Glover uses traditional Italian techniques to craft exuberant, one-of-a-kind handblown glass lights in a multitude of shapes, patterns and colors.

In this master bath, situated in a Victorian townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill, London, a Spey castiron tub from Drummonds provides the perfect canvas for color. Brass fixtures were left unlacquered and unpolished to allow them to age naturally and acquire a rich patina and golden color. On the wall behind the tub is a vintage Art Deco screen, sourced from France.

Soft hues make spaces feel serene, so it’s no wonder muted tones are a perennial choice for the bath. A far cry from the retro bubblegum pink lavatories of yesteryear, today’s pastels pack their biggest punch when used sparingly. Here, a colorful roll-top cast-iron soaker picks up a pale coral from the whimsical patchwork tile floor.

Shades of salmon, cream, cobalt and olive blend to form a space that doesn’t so much jolt you awake as ease you gracefully into the day. For more clever ways to bring color into the bath, turn the page. drummonds-uk.com

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE LATEST TIPS, TRICKS AND TRENDS TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR HOME. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

TECHNICOLOR VISION With the arrival of spring comes a riot of color.

Consider the brilliant yellow of daffodils or the bluish-purple of hyacinths bursting forth from the ground. But why should Mother Nature have all the fun? This period of rebirth and renewal is the perfect time to rethink color inside the home. For the last few seasons, white walls have dominated the design space, but tastemakers are now slowly turning to saturated hues and bold brights that command attention, as in the vibrant and cheery sitting room shown here. “Your home affects your mood, so why not make it a happy place?” says the room’s designer, Rebekah Caudwell. Over the next few pages, come along with us for a lively romp through the many colors on the spectrum.

HAUTE HUE

There’s a reason fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shade was “shocking pink.” The fearless style maverick believed the vivid color had life-giving properties. No wonder designer Amanda Nisbet chose a similar fuchsia for the dining room of this Park Avenue apartment in New York. “The saturated pink silk walls are luxuriously sexy, while still being cozy and welcoming—the perfect atmosphere for a successful evening,” she says. amandanisbetdesign.com

PRETTY IN

Shaking off its girly connotation, blush has emerged in the last year as an unconventional yet versatile neutral. Here, it lends a merengue-like quality to a plush, velvet club chair. With its channel-back design, the Charlotte armchair by India Mahdavi is strikingly sculptural and elegant. It’s proof that this particular shade of pink is all grown-up now. ralphpucci.net

THE REAL

Just like a good book can be an escape from reality, a library should be a haven from the outside world. For this Greenwich Village apartment, New York-based design firm Tilton Fenwick blanketed the library walls in a rich teal lacquer, a color inspired by the classic Schumacher print in which the sofa is upholstered. “Since the room has no windows, the lacquer envelops the space, creating a jewel box effect,” says the firm’s founder Anne Maxwell Foster.

We can’t think of a more stimulating environment in which to while away a few hours. tiltonfenwick.com

Blue continues its reign as a cabinet color of choice in the kitchen, but judging from this dining space, its popularity is spreading to other parts of the house.

The result: a functional entertaining hub that’s also a stunning focal point for dinner guests. grantkgibson.com

For this luxury apartment on the Rue Bonaparte in Paris, designer Gérard Faivre looked to the building’s Second Empire pedigree for inspiration.

“Emblematic colors from that era—oranges, greens, blues and shades of gold—symbolized wealth and luxury, and now bring sparkle to the home,” he says. With its friendly, convivial atmosphere and bistro table and chairs, the space also pays homage to the chic cafes of its neighborhood, Saint Germain-des-Prés. gerardfaivreparis.com

Austin-based designer Elizabeth Mollen of Stone Textile found inspiration for this living room in an unusual source: her client’s collection of midcentury flamingo prints. “We picked a deep-blue wall color and used that as a starting point, then pulled colors from the artwork,” says Mollen. A violet rug, pale lavender upholstered sofas and a green malachite stool add to the color story, creating a subtle and sophisticated jewel-toned palette that’s definitely not for the birds. stonetextilestudio.com

JANET BROOKS DESIGN Scottsdale | Arizona | 480.776.2700 | janetbrooksdesign.com

Known throughout Arizona for her pre-eminent work, Janet Brooks, ASID, is well versed in the design preferences of the region’s homeowners. Her company, Janet Brooks Design, has frequently taken on renovation projects large and small—although she says the latter often turn into the former. “Renovations tend to have a domino effect,” she says. “It is easy to start off small but end up with a major, and very expensive, project if you aren’t disciplined and thoughtful when making decisions in the beginning.”

Brooks advises homeowners to meet with all team members initially and develop an approach that will achieve their goals, both aesthetically and monetarily.

“Homeowners want their older homes to feel fresher and lighter.”

EXPERT INSIGHT WITH JANET BROOKS, ASID Optimal Timing Brooks recommends renovating when you first purchase a home, before moving in. “Otherwise, find design professionals you trust and reside elsewhere while the work takes place,” she says.

Consider What’s Existing The concept of remodeling and repurposing individual elements takes renovation a step further.

“Before removing stone flooring, have a professional company do a thorough stripping/cleaning or refinish an unsightly/scratched polished surface to a honed finish,” Brooks says. “You may be surprised by the results and will save a lot of mess and money.”

THE STATE OF THE HIGH-END HOME + Southwestern- and Tuscan-style homes are seen as heavy and dated. + Granite countertops are being changed out for lighter options that look cleaner. + Cabinetry panel details are often replaced by simpler flush or Shaker-style doors. + The latest and greatest appliances are the key must-have in every home.

According to well-known interior designer KT Tamm, no renovation project is typical. “Each client brings his or her own personal insight, visions and functional needs to the table,” says Tamm, the owner and principal designer behind KT Tamm Inc. Asked to share tips for a successful remodel, Tamm says, “Even a renovation that is planned carefully and completely on paper may need adjusting once walls have come down. My other go-to rule is to design and specify all project details before demolition begins, just as you would for a new construction project.” She also recommends keeping out-of-home time to a minimum, as “living in secondary quarters for long periods wearies the clients and their pocketbooks!”

“Homeowners are seeking low-maintenance, comfortable spaces on which to put their personal stamp.”

IN THE MIND OF A PRO: KT TAMM Top trend?

Clean, crisp lines and bold colors, regardless of style. Also, designing homes that support aging in place.

Crucial first step?

Locally renowned contractors and construction managers, Thomas and Karen Boos have proven their aptitude for successful building and remodeling time and again. The principals and namesakes behind The Boos Group, they lead an expert team in accomplishing each client’s exact specifications. Asked to elaborate on building trends, Thomas speaks to a shift from quantity to quality in the luxury market. “We have seen a move toward jewel-box homes,” he says. “In years past, the size of a home was typically driven by its lot size. Today, we are seeing smaller, highly appointed homes, quite often on large, unique lots. Less is definitely more in the current custom home market.”

LASTING VALUE According to Karen, quality and commitment to an architectural style are essential to crafting a home that will stand the test of time and retain value. “During the boom days, most anything would sell,” she says. “But today’s luxury home buyers are more sophisticated and attuned to the details than they were in the past.

Select an architectural style you like, and focus on the authentic details and traits of that aesthetic.”

New York interior designer David Scott and Minnesota-based architect Charles R. Stinson collaborated on a modern mountainside house for clients in Arizona. Before building began, Stinson studied the impact of the sun on the site throughout the day and evening, siting the house to maximize views.

fter decades of vacationing in Arizona, a pair of empty nesters desired their own resort-like retreat in the state they could escape to from their primary residence in Minnesota, a place where their grown children, grandchildren and extended family and friends would be comfortable year-round. “These clients wanted a house that would embrace the incredible mountain view,” says New York interior designer David Scott, whom the couple had met through friends who were previous clients. “They also wanted super-high-quality interiors—contemporary and timeless—that wouldn’t go out of style.”

To determine the home’s position and form, Minnesotabased architect Charles R. Stinson scouted the property from sunrise to sunset. “You have to have a dialogue with the site,” he says. “That’s how we determined what the house wanted to be.” Stinson’s evaluation resulted in a long sprawling form that captures the sun as it makes its way across the horizon.

A diamond-shaped great room—its tiered roof reaching up two floors—lies at the center of the structure. “It’s the soul of the house,” says the architect. “It reaches out and multiplies in both directions.” The room’s glass enclosure allows 180-degree views of the mountains on one side and opens to the light-filled motor court on the other.

Stinson took rocks from the site back to his Minnesota office, and the stones inspired an edifice integral with the terrain. “The whole idea is for the house to be one with the side of the mountain,” says the architect, who worked on the project with colleagues Chuck Thiss and Larry Ward.

“You’re hunkered in on one side, and on the other side you’re floating. It’s a combination of being very grounded but allowing your spirit to soar.”

Scott translated that notion into an organically driven, contemporary interior with a golden palette. “The clients wanted a textured, layered environment that was not overly furnished but had rich materials,” he says. Starting

The entry faÇade reflects the strong horizontal planes and vertical stone forms Stinson used throughout the design.

Landscape architect Shane Coen preserved the original reddish barrel cacti on the site, replanting them in a grid beside the driveway to the motor court.

Giant glass panels by Western Window Systems, installed by Roadrunner Glass Co., open the great room to the terrace. Scott punctuated this corner with vintage Milo Baughman barrel chairs, a custom ottoman by Azadeh Shladovsky and reflective accent tables

by Barlas Baylar of Hudson Furniture.

from the ground up, Scott designed silk rugs with abstract patterns derived from nature. “Beautiful custom rugs were a huge focus,” he says. “When you’re competing with a view, you don’t want anything that stops your eye, but you want to ground it.”

Beneath the rugs, Scott chose flooring and finish materials such as oak, marble, stone and metal that play to the home’s structure. “My thought was: How does what I do bring more to the architecture?” he explains. “How do we make each other better?” In one instance, the designer placed an assemblage of cocktail tables and ottomans in the center of the great room that speaks to the home’s interlocking squares and rectangles. Throughout the residence, he mixed vintage and contemporary pieces for a one-of-a-kind look.

Stinson, meanwhile, designed glass walls to slide into and out of stacked-stone piers so there is little distinction between the indoor and outdoor spaces. At the center of the home’s intersecting wings is the pool, which has an infinity edge that follows the great room’s lines. Designed

by Minnesota landscape architect Shane Coen, the pool was constructed by Mossman Brothers Pools, under the supervision of project manager Tim Coulter of MMBI. The team also installed a tiled hot tub that rises out of the water to create a sculptural cube. This part of the house, Stinson says, is where the house and homeowners connect with the earth: The pool relates to the blue sky, while the stone piers speak to the mountain’s rocky landscape.

On the house itself, Coulter employed commercial elements—steel beams, aluminum cladding and cast-inplace concrete—to achieve Stinson’s objectives. “You have this commercial-like structure, but it really feels warm,” Coulter says. “Charles nailed the scale of it, because you don’t feel overwhelmed by it, and it doesn’t feel too big.

environment.” Coulter, who is based in Washington and came to the project through Red Moon Development, also worked with lighting designer Walter Spitz of Creative Designs in Lighting to ensure the indoor and outdoor spaces were beautifully illuminated yet wouldn’t obscure the stars and city lights in the distance.

During the daytime, the home’s expansive terraces and overhangs prevent the hot sun from penetrating the structure. But Coen ensured the desert’s native landscape remained very much a part of the property. “The whole idea is: Wherever you are, whatever level you are on, you are going to be interacting with nature in a unique way— like art,” he says, adding that he took the owners to the Desert Botanical Garden for inspiration.

post cacti stand like soldiers around the pool base, while smaller sculptural varieties fill beds built into the terraces, along the home’s driveway and around its entry and motor court. “Our landscapes are always geometric extensions of the architectural forms as well as contextual abstractions,” says Coen, who clearly delineated where the designed landscape meets the surrounding native grounds. “We don’t believe Mother Nature can be recreated, so we never pretend to be natural.”

With this project complete, Scott praised the entire design team for creating a vacation retreat that responds to yet elevates its surroundings. “These are always the best jobs,” he says, “where there’s one common goal: to create a dream home for the client.”

For a client with a hillside lot in Scottsdale, architect Erik Peterson and interior designer Caroline Tyler DeCesare collaborated to create a home with a Mediterranean farmhouse feel. The multiple rooflines are covered by tiles with Genoese detailing from Cholla Tile and were installed by Lifetime Roof Systems. For the grounds, landscape architect Jeff Berghoff artfully integrated desert plantings to complement the dramatic site.

n planned communities governed by stringent aesthetic codes, the desire to build a residence with a sense of authenticity might seem an elusive aspiration. To wit: How to erect a new “authentic” Mediterranean home with such requirements half a world away from the sea that lends the style its name?

Yet that is exactly what a design team was able to realize for one Scottsdale homeowner.

“She wanted a French farmhouse feel with a minimum of three or four structures on the site,” architect Erik Peterson recalls about early conversations with his client, a woman with high school-aged children. So he conjured a design he describes as “a rambling campus of buildings that included the main house, a gatehouse-art studio, a guesthouse and a vertical element meant to look like an old grain tower.” The client, adds interior designer Caroline Tyler DeCesare, “liked the casual rusticity of stone and wood. She has kids and dogs, so she didn’t want the place to take itself too seriously.”

LX_AZ38_DeCesare_14.indd 288

To balance both authenticity and the family’s modern lifestyle, Peterson, DeCesare and builder Scott Pfeiffer turned to materials and finishes that were either aged or treated to appear weathered over time.

“We used reclaimed beams on the exterior and interior,” Pfeiffer says. “For example, all the rafter tails and patio beams are reclaimed, as is the barn wood we used on some of the interior walls and cabinetry.” Tumbledlimestone and distressed-wood floors, hand-troweled plaster walls, pressed-tin accents and reclaimed-stone mantels also enhance the old-world appearance. The team even went so far as to unearth antique-style light switches with button mechanisms. Additionally, Erikson says, “all the rooms are human-scaled and have character; they’re not all big and square. We then constructed built-in shelves, niches, private doorways, a small unexpected window and other elements I call ‘discovery moments.’ ”

1/26/17 5:11 PM

For furnishings, the client had wanted to repurpose many of her beloved pieces from her last residence. “In that home, she had leaned toward English country furniture,” DeCesare says. “The pieces were a little more refined than the rustic country look, but we liked the mix.” The interior designer, who worked closely on the project with colleague Kelsey Webb Hunzeker, reupholstered some of these furnishings and supplemented them with newer furniture and lighting as well as a smattering of pattern that make the interiors feel relevant today. The aim, she explains, was to create “casual, relaxed spaces with a nod to tradition—without being overdecorated and overdone.”

A neutral palette unifies the furnishings and the overall layout. The underlying mood is gray, but each room takes on a faint tonal shift—buttery flax in the breakfast room, wheat in the living room, subtle lilac in the master bedroom. Upholstery is mostly solid, too, which adds to the sense of continuity from one room to the next.

“She’s not afraid of pattern,” DeCesare says of her client.

“But we wanted to layer spaces, rather than overwhelm them.” For instance, the interior designer re-covered the original living room armchairs in a graphically overscale suzani-like textile, imparting a sense of modernity; yet the colorway is pale and understated enough to keep the chairs from disrupting the generally soothing monochromatic ambience.

LX_AZ38_DeCesare_14.indd 295

Above: The living area of the library was appointed using the owner’s furniture from her previous house, which DeCesare set atop an antique Oushak carpet from Azadi Fine Rugs. Throughout the room, between niches and windows, are E.F. Chapman Cawdor wall lights for Visual Comfort & Co. Left: The client didn’t want stair railings but opted for them for safety reasons, so DeCesare customized a minimalist design from Creative Metals for an interior stairway that leads to two upstairs bedrooms. The walls are a cream-colored plaster.

1/26/17 5:11 PM

DeCesare also introduced unpretentious metal elements—an iron chandelier in the living room, a quasiindustrial ceiling fixture over the breakfast table, a reclaimed pressed-tin wall ornament with peeling paint and another iron chandelier in the master bedroom—that telegraph a grounding utilitarian quality to complement the home’s agrarian farmhouse integrity.

Outside, the team faced a challenge with the topography of the site, a hillside with a roughly 45-degree slope.

Landscape architect Jeff Berghoff worked with Erikson on arranging the structures and terracing the land. “There’s a 10-foot retaining wall on the east side of the property, where we cut into the slope to create the main level,” Berghoff says. To keep attention on the landscape rather

LX_AZ38_DeCesare_14.indd 296

than the retaining wall, he designed a natural look to frame the meandering road that leads to the car court and entry.

“You wind through native trees that give you dappled light,” he says. “It’s not a formal allée; it’s more of an organized expression, so they look like they’ve always been there.”

Berghoff deployed mostly indigenous plants outside the wall, but inside he introduced non-native greenery as well to achieve a feel he describes as “an enhanced lush desert.”

Collectively, the home’s multiple structures imitate a Mediterranean village on a hill, one overlooking not a sea but rather the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The success of the project lies in the fact that the new construction looks convincingly historic, inside and outside. And that is, authentically, as it should be.

eteorite dust, rose petals, charred material from forest fires, broken glass and pieces of rusted metal are just a few of the unorthodox elements Phoenix artist Linda Margaret Kilgore turns into sculptures. It’s fitting, then, that many of her nature-incorporated pieces end up outside. In fact, the impact of the environment, like oxidation, frequently adds another layer of beauty. From large steel trees with twisting branches in her Bosque series to smaller works with nests and eggs, organic forms meet industrial materials to forge hauntingly beautiful hybrids that mesh well with modern architecture.

Kilgore’s work appears in public, private and corporate collections and in museums and is often found in garden settings. “When my pieces are first installed outside, we often anoint them with a sprinkling of water—a baptism of sorts,” she says. “It’s a little ritual that bonds it to the place where it will live.” As such, the artist often creates with an eye toward where the piece will end up. “I like to design for a specific area,” she says. “Usually an architect will be finished on a project and then recommend me; I enjoy the collaborative aspect. I love architecture—it’s a form of sculpture.”

Those familiar with Kilgore’s art would not be surprised to discover a spiritual aspect she cultivates from her travels. “I find great inspiration and many ideas from my pilgrimages to ancient sites,” she says. Places like the caves of Dordogne, in southwestern France, and the sacred stones from the Brittany

LX_AZ38_SM_Kilgore.indd 301

coast and Peru’s Sacred Valley resonate in the materials and lines of her sculptures. She goes so far as to collect bits of nature: soils, rocks and water from the Urubamba River in Peru and salt from Inca mines, for example.

Another significant influence is Kilgore’s home state, Arizona.

Childhood trips to Canyon de Chelly National Monument and the red rock forms of Sedona all find a place in her art thanks to elements like “the dusty leaves, the smooth roundness of water-tumbled rocks in Oak Creek Canyon, the silvery turn of the Manzanita branch under my horse’s hooves,” she describes. Many of these elements, like the twist of the Manzanita, translate clearly into specific pieces, like those in the Bosque series, or become even more abstracted, as seen in pieces like Arborealis, which exhibit a Calder-like modernity.

In her studio, using laser-cut and torch-cut metal, Kilgore is “always inspired by the beautiful and bell-like sounds of the metal as I work,” she says. This fascination translates to her new sound pieces, in which long slender rods hold steel shapes that easily shift in a breeze. When they strike each other, she says, “the sound is reminiscent of bells in European cathedrals.”

With its use of materials and sound, Kilgore’s unique work has a profound effect. “I think the presence of sculpture in a garden makes the viewer more aware,” she says. “There can be a beautiful dialogue between nature and sculpture. It is a great pleasure and honor to place an object in the beauty of the garden.”

f the consummate Arizona home delicately balances connecting to the desert landscape with shielding against the harsh elements, then the modernist North Scottsdale residence architect Douglas Fredrikson and Seattle designer Rose Capestany devised for a hilltop site is practically perfect. “Every area of the house has its own courtyard,” Fredrikson says. “And there are glass walls that open completely, so you can’t tell whether you’re inside or outside. But there are also massive sandstone walls that provide a feeling of refuge. My clients wanted privacy and protection from the sun, yet they also wanted their home to engage with the outdoors as much as possible.”

The homeowners, an entrepreneurial husband and wife who live permanently in Oregon, decided to build a vacation residence in Arizona after experiencing the area while their two daughters attended college in the state. “We fell in love with the Sonoran Desert,” the husband says. “It’s a uniquely beautiful place where the weather is contrary to what we’re used to.” The couple were looking for a parttime escape from the wet climate of the Pacific Northwest and wanted a desert house that would accommodate their large family, which includes plenty of grandchildren. “We needed room for everybody,” the wife says. “We like to open all the doors, swim and eat outside together—and then be able to retreat to our rooms.”

Just as important as ample space was a home that appeared to belong in the desert. “We asked for a design that looked like it could exist only in Arizona,” the husband says. So, inspired by ancestral Puebloan dwellings and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Taliesin West, Fredrikson employed walls made of sandstone sourced from a local quarry. “I took ideas of simple architectural expressions 306 / LUXESOURCE.COM

In the living room, an iron pendant from Allan Knight and Associates is suspended above a Berman Rosetti sofa from Trammell-Gagne in Seattle and a custom coffee table from Meyer Wells, also in Seattle. The armchairs are by Ralph Lauren Home, and the custom rug is from Jennifer West in Seattle. In an adjacent courtyard, a ceiling oculus accommodates the dramatic height of a saguaro cactus.

Another pendant from Allan Knight and Associates hangs in the dining room above a custom Douglas-fir table from Meyer Wells. The chairs are from Janus et Cie in San Francisco, and the custom leather-upholstered stools are from Buffalo Collection; the bronze sculpture on the credenza is by Paul Ferrante.

and added the massiveness you see in desert forms that give a sense of solidity,” he says. “Our region’s cultural history includes adobe buildings that are now eroding.

The sandstone loosely replicates that crumbling adobe you see throughout the desert.” The large-scale stone is one of the defining components of the home. “We had as many as three or four masons setting stones that were 36 to 40 inches wide and 6 to 10 inches tall,” notes builder and construction supervisor Doyle Hostetler. To counter the heaviness of the stone, Fredrikson incorporated glass walls, some of which almost entirely surround spaces like the family, living and dining rooms and their adjacent terraces. The glass helps flood these rooms with views and sunlight and makes the ascending roof above each appear to be floating.

To further connect the sandstone-and-glass design to its surroundings, Fredrikson introduced a 35-foot-tall saguaro cactus with multiple arms. The plant, which stands

LX_AZ38_Fredrickson_16.indd 311

in a covered courtyard off the main living room, pierces the roof via an oculus, integrating with the architecture and making an artistic statement. “The house is like a piece of art,” says David Coyne of Desert Flora, who helped place plantings on the property. Fredrikson also paid homage to the desert through another material: copper. “It’s one of Arizona’s natural resources,” he explains. “It ages so uniquely, turning brown and purple then turquoise. It’s like jewelry.” Fredrikson clad the fascia, the outdoor shower and the fireplaces with the burnt-orange metal.

To complement the architecture, Capestany selected furnishings that display rich textures and a neutral palette.

Working with project assistant designer Tom Miller, she outfitted the living room with armchairs upholstered in creamcolored leather and a caramel-tone leather-and-suede sofa and ottoman. For the family room, the designer established an unmistakably midcentury sensibility by customizing a built-in walnut sofa, which she dressed with pillows covered

Bar chairs with woven-leather seats from Trammell-Gagne pull up to the kitchen island, which features a waterfall-style stone counter.

Walnut cabinetry and an onyx backsplash lend rich texture to the space. The George Nelsondesigned wall clock is from Jules Seltzer Associates in Beverly Hills.

Above: Fredrikson and his clients embraced a linear aesthetic for the landscape architecture, which was installed by David Coyne of Desert Flora. Metal awnings by Parasoleil in Colorado provide shade for a terrace that offers views of the cinematic desert landscape.

Right: Hualapai sandstone flooring flows from the interior rooms and hallways to the terraces, courtyards and exterior walkways, tying the indoors to the outdoors.

Opposite: Capestany outfitted the family room with a Vladimir Kagan-designed boomerangshaped table from Ralph Pucci in Los Angeles, a built-in sofa dressed with fabrics by KnollTextiles and Peter Dunham Textiles and a leather-upholstered armchair by Nienkämper from Hartman Ltd. in Mercer Island, Washington. The rug is from Azadi Fine Rugs.

At the far end, onyx paneling is a backdrop for antique amphora from Relics.

in geometric-print fabric. She also sourced a one-of-a-kind boomerang-shaped coffee table for the room. “It’s Italian mosaic and was designed by Vladimir Kagan,” Capestany says. “I saw it at Ralph Pucci in Los Angeles and knew it would be perfect.” Like the coffee table, the Allan Knight and Associates pendants she selected for the dining and living rooms have great presence. “They’re 72 inches in diameter, but they kind of float within the spaces and don’t fight with anything else,” she says.

Throughout the house, Capestany helped design millwork crafted by Doyle Hostetler’s brother, builder Donald Hostetler, who also managed construction for the enormous project. He grain-matched each piece of walnut for the kitchen cabinetry and fabricated a walnut canopy bed Capestany conceived for the master bedroom. “It has

LX_AZ38_Fredrickson_16.indd 316

a large curved form and was one of the most complex things we created for this house,” the designer says.

Also complex in their own way are the metal awnings on the exterior. In addition to providing coverage from the sun, the shading mechanisms feature graphic cutouts with a midcentury aesthetic, creating dynamic light patterns that shine on the terrace floors. Beyond the awnings of the rear façade are a pool, a cabana, 11 courtyards with fire and water features and rows of small and large cacti planned

by Fredrikson and the clients and placed by Coyne.

With so many areas to enjoy the outdoors, the owners take full advantage of the house’s intersection with the landscape.

“They have people over and open all the doors,” Fredrikson says. “Guests wander in and out, not really knowing whether they’re inside or outside. Everything flows seamlessly.”

1/26/17 6:40 PM

Opposite: In the vanity area of the master bathroom, Capestany customized a round rug from Azadi Fine Rugs and covered a Jonathan Adler chair with sheepskin.

Below: For the master bed, Capestany envisioned a walnut canopy, fabricated by Donald Hostetler. The master suiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leather-and-metal chair, designed by Republic of Fritz Hansen, is from Jules Seltzer Associates, and the Vladimir Kagan-designed walnut floor lamp is from Trammell-Gagne; the custom shag rug is from David E. Adler.

Picasso Tile & Stonework did all the tile work, including the flagstone around the pool. The chaise lounges in the water are by Henry Hall Designs.

THE STONE COLLECTION

A breathtaking selection of materials paired with exemplary customer service has proven to be a formula for success for The Stone Collection, a renowned importer and distributor of natural stone slabs, tile and other premium hard surface materials.
