his January/February issue, our annual GOLD LIST, has long been devoted to celebrating diverse design talents from across the country. They are the dreamers and creators; each working in a distinctive style, yet collectively shaping our landscape and helping to define the idea of home. As part of our GOLD LIST 2019 survey, the architecture and design community weighed in on what’s piquing their interest lately. We share some of their thoughts inside this issue. Texas architect Michael Imber’s comments struck a particular chord: “There seems to be a seeking of what is ‘real’ occurring,” he observes. “We had the farm-to-table movement; we now have the city-to-farm movement, with young influencers moving to small towns and revitalizing communities. These cultural ‘outliers’ aren’t seeking change, but instead find a more enriching and meaningful experience connecting to the authenticity these towns have to offer; towns that have never lost their sense of community and the uniqueness of their different cultures and pasts. It is a movement away from the culture of sameness.”

MAKING WAVES

WITH UNEXPECTED BACKGROUNDS, THESE EMERGING DESIGNERS PROVE THERE’S NOTHING PREDICTABLE ABOUT THEIR CAREERS—OR STYLES.

FORBES + MASTERS

Atlanta | forbesmasters.com WHY WE LOVE THEM: The young duo behind this firm hit it off while working together on a commercial project and realized their combined skills—Tavia Forbes' business background and Monet Masters' design training—made the perfect match. Today, their firm delivers glam, edgy interiors with custom touches— think wall murals hand-painted by the designers themselves.

ON THE HORIZON: Forbes and Masters are in the process of filming a television show, Design Demystified, focused on interiors for DIYers. They’re also heading south to work on a project in Barbados soon.

IN THEIR WORDS: “Our personal design style can be summarized as ‘the element of surprise.’ It’s not a certain look or genre; it’s bold, moody, layered, textured, custom and fresh.

We’ve been called ‘the masters of mood’ by default.”

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

⊳ COURTNEY MCLEOD ▲ BENJAMIN JOHNSTON

Houston | benjamin-johnston.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Trained architect Benjamin Johnston has traveled to more than 50 countries, informing his distinct blend of maximalism and minimalism.

Architectural details and eclecticism define many of the spaces he designs.

ON THE HORIZON: Johnston’s success is taking him beyond the U.S. He currently has projects throughout North America—from Mexico to Canada.

IN HIS WORDS: “Inspiration comes from everywhere: the location and architecture of the project, the client’s style and their collections, and also, my treasured books featuring work from Billy Baldwin, Tony Duquette, Thomas Pheasant and Jean-Louis Deniot. I like to begin with immersing myself in a loose creative storm, and then I let the story crystallize from there.”

LX_COM23_Radar_NewGuard.indd 86

WHY WE LOVE HER: After working in real estate private equity for 15 years, Courtney McLeod left Wall Street to pursue her childhood dream of designing homes. Her background in finance provides a solid foundation for her practice, which prides itself on investing clients’ money wisely, while fashioning interiors with an edge.

ON THE HORIZON: McLeod’s long list of projects for 2019 includes a Chelsea loft, a prewar apartment on West End Avenue, a pied-à-terre on the Brooklyn waterfront, a quaint 1880s-era Colonial in the Hudson Valley and a client’s vacation home in Antigua.

IN HER WORDS: “My design style is rooted in the pursuit of joy. I utilize my kaleidoscopic toolbox of texture, color and pattern to create playfully elegant interiors.”

RADAR / NEW GUARD STEWART HORNER ⊲

Portland | pennyblackinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Stewart Horner was a design director at Nike until age 47 when he decided to reinvent himself and establish Penny Black Interiors. His projects are all unique—spanning styles from midcentury modern and very refined to rock star chic. For example, he may place a traditional wingback chair upholstered in a neon graffiti-like textile in an otherwise monochromatic room.

ON THE HORIZON: In addition to creating a line of furniture and home goods, Horner is working on a remodel of a 1960s traditional ranch in the west hills of Portland and a 1940s Spanish cottage in Los Angeles—his first out-of-state project.

IN HIS WORDS: “I have evolved my approach over the years from trying to deliver shock and awe to taking calculated risks. My hope is to surprise and delight my clients with a design that surpasses their needs while indulging them in a dream-like environment.”

GIN BRAVERMAN

Houston | gindesigngroup.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Gin Braverman had past lives as a hospital intern, production assistant, set designer, English teacher and industrial designer. It wasn’t until she worked on an HGTV home remodel show that she finally found her way to design.

Braverman’s well-rounded background and willingness to take risks attracts a diverse set of clientele.

▼ ALIZEE BRION

WHY WE LOVE HER: An alum of Philippe Starck’s architecture firm, Paris-born Alizee Brion established her own firm in 2016.

Her sophisticated style has caught the attention of an international set of clients who call on her to design the interiors of not only their homes, but also their yachts and, in one case, a castle in Tuscany.

ON THE HORIZON: Amidst the massive economic growth of her home city, Braverman’s team has a lot lined up for 2019, including the Cypress Circle Café at the Houston Zoo, a lakefront residence, a Hill Country boutique hotel and many projects in the culinary space.

ON THE HORIZON: Her biggest projects of the year are a 10,000-square-foot beachfront home on Fisher Island and an 82-foot catamaran that features a swimming pool on the front deck.

IN HER WORDS: “Our design is highly experiential. We try to make things fun and thoughtful by envisioning the end use of the space and all of the ‘Instagrammable’ moments throughout. We listen to the clients’ vision, then try to push them a little bit out of their comfort zone.”

IN HER WORDS: “I approach every design project first with pencil and paper. I find it is the quickest way to move around from plan to elevation to perspective—this is the way I explore the space in all dimensions.”

⊳ MIKEL WELCH

New York | mikelwelch.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Mikel Welch discovered his passion for design while walking through a shopping mall on his lunch break from a retail job. To get his start, he offered pro bono design services on Craigslist to build a portfolio. He is an accomplished set designer—most notably, for the Steve Harvey Show. He has also designed green rooms for the likes of Michelle Obama, Oprah, Joan Rivers and Halle Berry.

ON THE HORIZON: In the spring, Welch will begin a new role as a featured designer on the second season of the Trading Spaces reboot on TLC. IN HIS WORDS: “I am a huge fan of aged and weathered objects paired with current design trends, so I coined my new design style as ‘primitive modern.’ I love to scour vintage shops looking for perfectly imperfect items, and typically, the more imperfections, the better.”

⊳ HOLLY HOLLENBECK

San Francisco | hsh-interiors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: After a brief detour in investment banking and consulting, Holly Hollenbeck followed her nose for vintage finds and showstopping lighting, into the design industry. The designer is a big proponent of using technology throughout the design process, utilizing three-dimensional renderings whenever possible. She recently opened a shop on Clement Street and an e-commerce site, representing 15 home design brands.

ON THE HORIZON: Hollenbeck is working alongside Carney Logan Burke Architects on a new home in Wilson, Wyoming. Situated on 35 acres, the job entails developing plans for a main house, two guest homes and a party barn.

IN HER WORDS: “Everything I see and do is grist for the creative mill. I am a voracious consumer of imagery from design, travel and fashion magazines, and I also keep a large library of inspirational books.”

CYNTHIA SPENCE ⊲

San Francisco | cynthiaspencedesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Cynthia Spence's designs feel layered and collected. Years of business experience in technology and entertainment inform her ability to seamlessly integrate technology into warm and natural spaces.

ON THE HORIZON: Spence’s first two projects of 2019 are in Saratoga and Belmont, California. In the former, she designed the house almost entirely around a beautiful tree.

IN HER WORDS: “The Bay Area’s topography and seasonal climate allow us to draw inspiration based on the movements happening in our backyard. I like the art of mixing—it adds personality and a je ne sais quoi that truly brings out the clients’ ethos.”

▲ HANNAH CROWELL

Nashville | crowellinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Trained photographer Hannah Crowell is a Nashville-native with country roots and a southern soul—her grandfather was Johnny Cash. Her quirky personality lends itself to creating unexpected moments in the spaces she designs, like the human anatomy model she has in her own home.

IN HER WORDS: “For lack of a better description, I tend to call my style ‘modern bohemian.’ I love contemporary design and clean lines, but I also want spaces to be personal and lived in and full of character.”

⊳ ALEXANDRA KAEHLER Chicago | alexandrakaehler.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Alexandra Kaehler, a former advertising exec-turned-lifestyle blogger-turned-interior designer, has an affinity for the details and old bones of a home. She adds her contemporary spin to projects by giving them a feminine face-lift.

ON THE HORIZON: Kaehler is renovating a 100-year-old residence in the suburbs of Chicago, a young, fun condo in Chicago and a beach house in Michigan.

IN HER WORDS: “I love to combine old and new, masculine and feminine, round and square—opposites always attract.”

▼ AIMEE WERTEPNY

Chicago | projectinteriors.com WHY WE LOVE HER: As the leader of her self-described “design tribe,” Aimee Wertepny makes it her mission to shake things up and cultivate a new type of design firm. Grounded by a serious dedication to philanthropic work both locally and globally, Wertepny’s mantra is “make design matter.”

ON THE HORIZON: Project Interiors is working on a collaboration with Marmol Radziner, a Los Angeles-based design-build practice led by architects, and a tiki-inspired home on Florida's Marco Island. The firm also plans to travel to Nepal in March to build a community school in a rural village with non-profit buildOn. IN HER WORDS: “My style is an organic, glam mash-up of tribal, deconstructed, fringed, textured and layered love. Mostly monochromatic and cleanlined interiors, laden with collectibles from travels abroad. I like using floor coverings as upholstery and vintage clothing as accent pillows—exploring ways to infuse the unexpected.”

⊳ LINDSAY CHAMBERS

Los Angeles | lindsaychambers.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Award-winning entrepreneur Lindsay Chambers holds a certificate from Stanford Business School’s Executive Program for Women Leaders. Her spaces are bathed in natural light and have a casual, approachable aura to them, while maintaining sophistication.

ON THE HORIZON: Chambers is completing her largest project to date in 2019: the furnishings and interior and exterior architectural finishes for a 9,300-square-foot warm contemporary home complete with an indoor pool and a full private spa.

IN HER WORDS: “I bring a San Francisco aesthetic— cultivated during the time my practice was based in Palo Alto—to Los Angeles, so my work ends up looking quite different than a lot of other design work I see in the area.”

⊳ JON DE LA CRUZ San Francisco | dlcid.com

WHY WE LOVE HIM: Firstgeneration American Jon de la Cruz studied marine biology in school, but shifted gears after a challenging chemistry class. Jobs at rigorous, traditional design firms provided him with a springboard to develop his own style, which leans toward bold, unexpected spaces, like the auto body shopturned-hit restaurant Che Fico.

ON THE HORIZON: His firm is working on a number of ground-up projects in California and one in Hawaii, as well as a few restaurants throughout the country.

VANESSA ALEXANDER ⊲

Los Angeles | alexanderdb.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Vanessa Alexander’s background in the entertainment industry is quite apparent in her interiors, which are Hollywood-chic and glamorous. Visually, you can imagine her spaces being home to the coolest and edgiest of rock stars, artists and producers.

ON THE HORIZON: The designer is working on a major restoration and remodel of a Mexican modern Ricardo Legorreta residence in Los Angeles, as well as home projects, creative spaces and restaurants in New York and Miami.

IN HER WORDS: “Whether we are working in California, New York, Miami, or beyond, we reference the surroundings and generally seek to create a connection with an indoor-outdoor lifestyle and the beauty of the environment. Stylistically, regardless of the aesthetic that we are creating, there is inherently a modernity based on open spaces, great amounts of light and a flow from one room to the other, and to the outside.”

LX_COM23_Radar_NewGuard.indd 92

IN HIS WORDS: “Many international design students come through the Bay Area and I actively recruit them as interns not only to help nurture their careers but to also expose my team to different points of view.

Every person is unique; every home is unique. We can’t serve our clients if we all have the same background, training and point of view.”

he most fitting collaborations usually come together effortlessly. So, when Martin Grubman, vice president of P.E. Guerin, approached his longtime client, interior designer Charlotte Moss, a few years ago about working together on the hardware firm’s debut jewelry line, Moss agreed without hesitation. In addition to her penchant for wearing bold statement bracelets and cuffs, Moss has been an avid enthusiast of P.E. Guerin, incorporating the brand’s well-established door, window and cabinet hardware into many of her clients’ homes. “Some things you have to work really hard for and other things just come your way,” says Moss. “This was just one of those smooth collaborations, so it really wasn’t work. For me, this was all fun.”

The Iconic Cuff Collection, which came to fruition in late 2017, began with Moss’ frequent trips to the P.E. Guerin showroom and foundry on Jane Street in New York, specifically the building’s Pattern Room. A historical treasure trove filled with inspiration, the archive space houses all of the master patterns and books used by the company since its inception in 1857.

Moss scoured through hundreds of wooden boxes and drawers containing more than 50,000 patterns (a portion of which were brought from France pre-dating the company’s beginnings in the United States) to find pieces that spoke to her and the company’s history. “I kept narrowing them down until I ended up with six pieces that appealed to me—pieces I thought would make a

powerful statement adorned on a woman’s arm,” says the interior designer.

Looking for a way to keep P.E. Guerin’s heritage front and center, Moss opted for classical motifs, some more than 10,000 years old, with each cuff highlighting certain historical periods. The Lyre features a neoclassical element relating to the golden lyre given to Orpheus by Apollo from Greek mythology. Another piece, the Dionysus cuff, was inspired by the Greek god of winemaking and symbolizes merriment and abundance.

Made from cast-brass and plated in 24-karat gold, the collection is fabricated in P.E. Guerin’s foundry in the same fashion as the rest of the firm’s offerings: with a great amount of care and attention to detail. And while the process and craftsmanship are a long-standing tradition, this collaboration is certainly a new venture and perhaps just the tip of the jewelry iceberg.

“P.E. Guerin has always made jewelry for the home,” says Moss. “And now for the person.”

FLUID FORMS

When gallerist and designer Ralph Pucci first met Paul Mathieu in the early ’90s he was immediately drawn to the sculptural aspect of the designer’s furniture and lighting pieces. “The style was very poetic,” says Pucci of Mathieu’s freeflowing, curvaceous forms. “You could see that it was the hand of an artist as opposed to the hand of a furniture designer or architect.”

This same fluidity that Pucci describes is on full display in Still Motion, an exhibition of Mathieu’s latest work, which runs from January 28 through

LX_COM23_Radar_Bespoke.indd 98

PAUL MATHIEU’S LATEST FURNITURE AND LIGHTING TAKE CENTER STAGE AT RALPH PUCCI. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTOINE BOOTZ

May 1 at Ralph Pucci in New York. The showcase includes several tables, lamps, a console, a sofa and—perhaps most notably—a sculpture created

by Mathieu’s father that the designer cast in bronze. All together, it is a display of voluptuous forms using a mix of bronze, plaster, and handcast and hand-beveled glass.

“This is really going to be the story of what I call, ‘The Artist Paul Mathieu,’ ” says Pucci. “It’s going to show his path and his evolution.” That story begins with the sculpture by Mathieu’s father, which was originally made of wood before Mathieu cast it in bronze. “That piece most reflects my inspiration,” says Mathieu.

“I grew up with that sculpture and I decided to experiment with it.”

While all the pieces pay tribute to Mathieu’s penchant for curves, they differ in their personalities.

An oversize floor lamp and bold sofa create grand statements, while three new pieces for his existing Aria collection are elegant in their delicate lines.

The ribbon-like bases of his Ruban tables—which Mathieu describes as an escape from gravity—play a more whimsical role in the exhibition. “My new Ruban collection is a jump from the more formal style,” says the designer. “It’s of the same family as the rest of my work, but freer in form.”

The driving force behind the exhibition is a mutual respect the artists have for each other.

“I continue to be drawn to Paul’s more sculptural pieces,” says Pucci. “It’s not his most commercial work, but it’s really the essence of Paul Mathieu.”

And the designer appreciates Pucci’s understanding of how his work should be seen. “Ralph is showing the pieces as sculptural furniture,” says Mathieu, “not as sculpture that wants to be furniture.”

Tell us about your store. We’re in the process of taking it online and only hosting pop-up events in our current location, so we’re definitely in an “under construction” mode. Our customers love our vintage furnishings that we source from all over, such as a work table with the original iron clamp intact or a console with reclaimed-wood legs, with a rusty section of a steel bridge as the stretcher bar and a bluestone top.

Where do you like to source locally for your projects? I love to shop at Bungalow in Scottsdale. Linda Criswell and Alicia Flatin have a massive amount of inventory, and their styling and layering inspires me every time I’m in there. I also love to shop at Found by Domestic Bliss in Chandler. Kristin and Dan Alber have a great eye, and I never leave empty-handed. Both stores allow us to pull from their inventory for our installs and make our job so much easier.

What do you look for when putting together your projects?

I love to source unexpected, one-of-a-kind items that make an interior feel collected. Vintage furnishings and textiles can enliven any space. I also have a container problem—I’ve never met a box, bin or caddy I didn’t want to own.

“WONDROUS WORLDS: ART AND ISLAM THROUGH TIME AND PLACE” An exquisite exhibition of more than 100 examples of Islamic art is opening at the Phoenix Museum of Art. Ranging from patterned tiles to contemporary metalwork, the pieces on display come from multiple continents and span a millennium. “Because Islamic art has an emphasis on patterning rather than figural representation, many of the designs were spread across the Eurasian continent between the 8th and 18th centuries,” says Janet Baker, the museum’s curator of Asian Arts. “Much of what we see as part of the repertoire of decorative art and patterning in Asia and in Europe originally started in the Islamic world.” The show opens January 26 and runs through May 26. phxart.org

LUXE ASKED FOUR DESIGN PROS TO SHARE THEIR FAVORITE PROJECTS AND WHAT’S ON TAP FOR THE FUTURE.

“We received the contract to master plan a game-changing design for the Arizona Biltmore resort. This original Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired project has amazing history and has been a local favorite from the early years of Phoenix’s development.

Some areas will be brought back to a historically accurate period and others will take us from present to future needs.”

“We just broke ground on a custom show home in Stone Canyon Estates that will be a timely example of environmentally friendly luxury desert living.

Clients are tuning into smaller, more functional homes, requiring less maintenance, lower environmental impact and less utility usage, all while providing all the conveniences one would expect in a modern home. ”

“We’re currently working on projects in 13 states, including a hotel and spa project on the Oregon coast and a hotel remodel project in Tuscany, Italy, among others. One exciting project we are finishing construction on is a hillside home on Camelback Mountain, which required constructing a tunnel to get to the home. It is an incredible project and home with amazing views.”

“We’re designing three new homes on the same street for three different clients in Whisper Rock—a soft contemporary, a Mediterranean, and a clean-lined farmhouse. In our new homes, a smaller square footage is trending, but clients are going higher-end on the fi nishes. They’re also finding ways to capture views that weren’t incorporated into the original design.”

DAY TRIPPING ARCOSANTI

A visit to Paolo Soleri’s architectural masterwork is an adventure into utopia. Founded in the 1960s on a mesa north of Phoenix, Arcosanti was an experiment in using architecture to create a sustainable city that fostered and celebrated community.

INSIDE EDITION

“We must redefine the American Dream before we rebuild the infrastructure on which it is based,” Soleri once said. Using low-impact silt casting, the architect built some 13 interrelated modernist structures, such as iconic vaults, multiple living quarters and dining areas (including a cafeteria for visitors). Tours take place throughout the day, and bronze pourings at the foundry twice daily allow visitors a peek into the making of the signature Soleri wind bells (shown above and right). Architecture enthusiasts can reserve the archives for an afternoon, and those wishing to further immerse themselves in the Arcosanti experience can rent rooms or guest houses. There are jazz and film festivals, too. With global capitals aiming to become net-zero and the buzz of smart cities on the rise, Soleri’s legacy and the ideas behind it seem especially relevant today. arcosanti.org

INTO the WOODS CUSTOM FURNITURE DESIGNERS ARE CREATING ONE-OF-A KIND PIECES THAT MIX MEDIUMS AND STYLES.

PETER THOMAS DESIGNS ⊲ Skillfully contrasting reclaimed wood with modern details, Peter Moosbrugger creates one-of-a-kind pieces from his Phoenix shop. “Our main business is custom one-offs for interior designers,” he says, “but we’ve started to expand our markets, building everything from conference tables to walnut tables for restaurants.” Among his collections are three new lines of furnishings: Beam, which includes tables made using 19th-century hand-hewn beams; Industrial, featuring etched metal along with reclaimed and new wood; and Parallel, comprised of solid American black walnut and polished metal. To keep all this going, he notes, “We just moved into our new 15,000-squarefoot factory.” peterthomasdesigns.com

▲ PORTER BARN WOOD A design, build and materials supply company, Porter Barn Wood is known for its range of offerings, from metalwork to concrete casting.

But it’s the impressive range of reclaimed lumber and the quality pieces crafted from it that remain its legacy. A steel-based rolling desk with a farmhouse wood top, a sliding interior door and a custom mantelpiece are all made with uniquely grained and textured wood that is rich with character.

PAUL RENE FURNITURE ⊲ Paul Jeffrey has been a presence on Arizona’s design scene for nearly 20 years, and he’s poised to expand his reputation beyond the state. His early career had been as a car designer and he knew little about wood when he started producing furniture. “I bent it,” he recalls. “I didn’t know I couldn’t.” This outside-the-box approach, it turns out, launched his career. Now, with thriving businesses in custom furniture as well as cabinetry, he’s adding limited-edition furniture and casegoods to the mix. It’s fitting, then, that one of his first limited-edition pieces is the bentwood Araignée coffee table. Each of the 300 signed and numbered tables has slatted maple circles gracefully curved to become part of the tabletop. Also on limited offer: a new upholstered dining chair in a combination of cherry and wenge wood inspired by a lyre. paulrenefurniture.com 106 / LUXESOURCE.COM

The Union of Dwelling and Land For more than three decades, architect Clint Miller has striven to design homes that form a union with their site, whether integrating into lush urban communities or growing organically from the surrounding desert. Miller’s body of work balances delicate details and bold composition, melding traditional techniques and materials with sensitive design and application. Each home expresses an organic relationship between site and design. Each structure respects its site, rather than imposing itself on the site.

LACANTINA DOORS Innovating … Expanding … Transforming

A PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH

No architectural element has such a profound impact on how homeowners interact with the outdoors than sliding door and window systems. Enter, LaCantina Doors, the industry-leading designer and manufacturer of folding and multislide door and window systems. Combining vast glass panels with state-of-the-art hardware, LaCantina’s products are fabricated from its 140,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in San Diego, California, ensuring high-level functionality and a flawless fit. “Using ‘best in glass’ materials, all of our systems come standard with low-e, dual-paned tempered glass, and we thoroughly test our products for air/water/structure and thermal performance,” vice president and general manager Lee Maughan says.

As wall systems continue to drive architectural design, LaCantina continues to conceive the most aesthetically striking and environmentally sound systems in the world.

We design innovative products that enhance lifestyles, open spaces, and allow for more natural light and fresh air to promote healthier more comfortable environments. Clean, contemporary designs, innovative features and high quality characterize the door and window systems from LaCantina.

Pictured here is Villa Namazee in Tehran, Iran, one of Ponti’s two designs in the Middle East. Inspired by his modernity and angular flair, these pieces bring us one step closer to the master.

LEADING LADY

7

Elsie de Wolfe is the grand dame of interior design as we know it–many credit her with inventing the profession of interior decoration. She went against the grain of Victorian design trends, replacing dark furniture and heavy draperies with floral wallpaper and feminine colors. This interior legend was commissioned by Stanford White to design the interiors for the Colony Club in New York City, and for the likes of Condé Nast and the Frick and Vanderbilt families. The tea house (shown) is one of de Wolfe’s only remaining designs intact. Originally designed for the Coe family, it is now a part of Planting Fields Arboretum and State Park in Oyster Bay, New York.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

BATHING BEAUTY DESIGNERS TURN TO PUNCHY PATTERNS AND BOLD MATERIALS TO CREATE BATHROOMS WITH HIGH IMPACT.

There are few spaces in a home more intimate than a luxurious bathroom— it’s where we pamper ourselves; it’s where we begin and end our days; it’s a haven for relaxation. Designers are exploring new schemes and kicking the design of this space into high gear with lush colors, plush textures and deluxe finishes. They’re also thinking outside the typical white marble box with stylish elements like graphic tile, glamorous lighting and architectural fittings for an allencompassing effect. Whether it be an elegant master bath with ladylike details or a jewel box powder room featuring statement-making wallcoverings, bold bathrooms are back. As designer Denise McGaha explains, “Don’t you want a bathroom that feels out of the ordinary, that no one else has?” So, grab your bubble bath and dive into these spectacular spaces.

While she and her husband agreed on certain items that were essential to the space like storage, a steam shower and natural light, they each had their own ideas to consider. McGaha knew the design should feel sophisticated and artful, the opposite of the cold, white-marble-and-glass bath, and her husband wanted to make sure the entire scheme didn’t steer too feminine. Through her masterful mix of color, pattern and texture, McGaha created a dynamic space that when unveiled to her husband, a man of many words, rendered him completely speechless. denisemcgaha.com

Can you talk about your approach to pattern and color? The black-and-white Silestone countertops are very sophisticated and we continued the palette with my Design Legacy fabric on the Roman shade that aligns perfectly with the wallpaper on the ceiling. This treatment allows for a really expansive room. I also wanted a bit of color, so I added the blush pink on the cabinetry.

Share your top tip for designing a bathroom. Don’t overlook the items you’re going to touch every day, like a handheld shower head, sink faucet or drawer pull. Make sure those elements are not a second thought but rather the first thing you consider.

What was your main goal for this space? I wanted something that was really a sanctuary for me and my husband, but our master bathroom hadn’t been touched since we moved in almost 20 years ago, so we knocked out everything to the studs. From there, it was about opening up the room and creating a timeless, elegant feel.

CLEAN SLATE

For a Malibu residence where dining is often casual, designer Chad Eisner went with a round table to suit his clients’ easy, everyday style. “It’s inviting because it puts everyone on equal footing since there’s no hierarchy at either head of the table,” he says. Eisner also suggests using armless chairs, which lend to greater accessibility, and seatbacks with a slight curve that give the perception of a larger chair without taking up the real estate. And to avoid damaging tabletops, the designer recommends using a table pad covered with a tablecloth. “They’re a livesaver,” he says, adding, “You should have two to four tablecloths in your repertoire, like a classic white hemstitch and a natural color.” cweisner.com

“There is no tip-toeing around in this room,” says interior designer John Willey of this Central Park West residence in New York. “It’s a cleanlined space that’s very inviting without the fuss.” To balance the cool blue and white hues, Willey opted for warm, down-to-earth colors like dusty rose, cinnamon and terra cotta, and also added printed-cotton draperies that are elevated “without being too formal,” adds the interior designer. The heft of the marble coffee table makes a striking stationary statement as “a beautiful presence that anchors the room,” says Willey. willeydesign.com

ALL IN THE MIX

⊳ EBB AND FLOW

“The living room is central to family life,” says interior designer Barclay Butera, who designed the inviting interiors for this Moorish-Moroccaninfluenced villa in Miami Beach. In the great room, just a few tiled steps down from the entry, deep hues of red and emerald mix with unexpected finishes, including a pair of agate-and-iron chandeliers. Crowning both the living and dining areas, they demarcate functions yet help to unify the space. “Clients want a room that has plenty of seating with a great flow for conversation,” says Butera. barclaybutera.com

WARM WELCOME ⊲

Given it’s the first impression a visitor will have, the material and furnishings of an entryway should set the stage for a home’s overall tone and vibe, as designer Jennifer Ferrandi has done with the foyer of this sunny Scottsdale, Arizona residence. “It’s very organic and quiet— not a lot of bright colors in the entry or throughout the home,” she says.

First, she established an indoor-outdoor connection by using brick from the exterior for the flooring and planters. Then, she incorporated a natural statement piece. “An unexpected oversize cactus gives visitors insight into what kind of homeowners live here,” she says. “It is definitely a ‘put-your-feet-on-the-table’ kind of place.” adgphx.com

⊳ TO THE TOUCH

“Dark colors tend to envelope you more, and they’re less reflective of light,” says designer Jessica Helgerson, who fashioned the dynamic interiors of this classic Victorian in Portland, Oregon. In the family room, dark brown paint with a touch of purple and deep tones of the wood complement the bold and modern furnishings in jewel tones creating a stylish and up-to-date feeling. While Helgerson did some remodeling to make it more contemporary for a young family, “we were very respectful of the architecture,” she says. “It’s a backdrop of old with a bright, fresh, new color palette,” says the designer. jhinteriordesign.com

“Art is something you must love, since you’ll be experiencing it on a daily basis,” says interior designer Deborah Wecselman, who created the art-filled interiors of this Miami residence. Below are her tips for establishing a striking living space using artwork. dwdinc.com Find balance: Sometimes art should take center stage and the furniture should act as supporting characters; sometimes art merely complements the design.

JANET BROOKS

BELLA MANCINI

What are some oftenoverlooked elements of design? I am a fanatic about the importance of appropriate lighting in all locations, not only for general illumination but also for creating accents and special effects. Most important aspect to consider when determining a layout: I always keep in mind the clients’ lifestyle in relation to the available space and striving for a comfortable solution. janetbrooksdesign.com

Favorite colors of the moment? In city and country homes alike, we are mixing in ochre, puce and very dark grays.

Our clients seem more open to these more adventurous hues than in years past. Best item to splurge on: Custom window treatments can transform any room. Even when a budget doesn’t allow for much more than retail furniture, I always set aside room in the finances for custom draperies. bellamancinidesign.com

LORRAINE ROGERS-BOLTON What do antiques add to a space? These pieces can provide interest to a design, especially if the client enjoys the eclecticism of old versus new. What should always be considered when designing interiors?

The proportion of furnishings to the size and height of a room determines the success of a space. However, it should be unnoticeable if implemented properly. rogersdesign.com

KIM SCODRO What should homeowners spend on? You will never regret splurging on a comfortable place to sit.

When the bones of an upholstered piece are right, there is nothing better. Top tips to keep in mind when planning a layout for your client: When working on a furniture plan, we always keep in mind who, how and why. Who is living in the space? How are they using it? And why are they using this room? kimscodro.com

7 6 STAIRWAY

A BOLD ENTRY

A hallway is no place to overlook the details—it’s a prime area to honor the architecture, connect rooms or make a lasting statement. The entry hall of this Dallas residence by designer Leslie Jenkins and senior designer Haley Powell, with architecture by David Stocker, accomplishes all three.

“We love how the lanterns play off the lines in the steelframed windows and doors, and lend cohesion to the entire space,” the designers explain. “Lanterns are a timeless solution to lighting in hallways, while complementing grand chandeliers found elsewhere.” One of the first conversations these designers usually have with their clients is about a home’s entryway, as flooring material is crucial to help guide the feel of the design. In the absence of natural light, a light wall color will help a hallway feel airy, the designers advise, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase special pieces, like vintage runners, that introduce a colorful palette of what’s to come. jenkinsinteriors.com

to HEAVEN When renovating this San Francisco residence, originally built by architect Albert Farr in 1930, Handel Architects partner-in-charge Glenn Rescalvo made graceful updates that enhance tradition. “We always start with what’s existing and try to use the most beautiful elements as starting points for any additional design elements that we bring in.” handelarchitects.com

How did you make the traditional and modern aesthetic work together? The soft geometry of the original bronze handrail (a combination of curves and linear elements) was very inspiring for the entire look. We picked up on those details and commissioned Lindsey Adelman to create a beautiful fixture, spanning three floors. Its constellation of burnt-orange glass drops and brassfinish rods contrast with the original traditional handrail.

LX_COM23_PID.indd 197

Is there a way to keep the look from feeling outdated? Always keep the conversation open between history and progress by integrating contemporary details through the furnishings and accessories, as well as the art selection. Here, the white walls give a simple look, while the plaster Alexander Lamont chandelier in the foreground hangs by gilded bronze chains. Finishes and texture live together in a perfect cohabitation.

Where do you see the genre of classic architecture going? The traditional look relates to heritage.

No one invents anything completely new, and the challenge of a designer is to reinterpret the past to create something new. People are interested in both the craftsmanship of classicism, and the sleekness of contemporary elements.

FLASHBACK

“Any color that is used in a well-designed space works,” says designer Joelle C. Nesen, who boldly mixed bright shades of yellow in this sunny Palm Springs, California kitchen. What’s more important to consider, she says, is one’s comfort level with color, and the mood for the project and the environment. “Are we going for ethereal drama, layered color that connects to the landscape, or something over-the-top?” Below, she offers three tips for using bright hues like a pro. maisoninc.com Consider lighting. Natural light and the outside environment play a big role in the color value. If your space is filled with natural light, the hue is going to be much more blown out versus a dark den with little natural light.

Color value. If you’re going to splurge on color, art is the most important element—plus it has long-lasting value. When using artwork, try playing with the juxtaposition of the furniture and finishes, or go in the direction of pure drama with bright hues.

Incorporate the unexpected. Pairing a color with similar shades creates drama that is both high-impact and eye-catching, but not overwhelming. In this kitchen, the wall tile is more of a marigold hue while the chairs have a chartreuse tinge. We loved how the tension of the different yellows played off the warm brass.

“I think it’s a direct reaction to years of using gray,” says designer Timothy Corrigan of the trend to embrace bold, jewel-tone shades in the home, like this green kitchen he fashioned for a Brentwood, California residence. To add life into any space, Corrigan suggests using color where you want a shot of energy, like the kitchen, or where you don’t spend a lot of time, like a hallway, and not in an area that’s purposely restful, like a bedroom. When choosing a shade, consider context. “You’ve got to look at it in the space you’re planning to use it,” he says. For example, this kitchen opens to a garden, so these “spring-leaf greens” establish an indoor-outdoor connection. timothy-corrigan.com

10 PATTERN PLAY

“I’ve worked with color all my career,” says designer Anthony Baratta, who devised the masterful palette of this living room in Fort Lauderdale. “Everything can’t be the same color value,” he says. “It has to be a mix.” The blues range from gray to navy, and the reds shift from orange to blue-red. When picking a palette, Baratta suggests: “Go to the Benjamin Moore paint rack and play,” he says. “You’ll go in a direction that you never believed you would.” anthonybaratta.com

Organic motifs animate the bright orange de Gournay wall panels in this Dallas home envisioned by designer Cynthia Collins.

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE

A home’s entry should express a sense of transition and “create a preview of the experience on the other side of the door,” says architect John Henderson, who designed this exemplary Newport Beach, California residence with smooth-troweled plaster, stained-wood eaves, and a standing-seam roof. He shares four tips for creating an inviting entryway. spectrumarchitecture.com Think about transitions. Devise a sense of leaving the streetscape and entering into a semiprivate space. This can be achieved by either a physical transition such as a wall and gate, or a perceived boundary such as a landscape barrier or planting scheme.

Blurred lines. Begin to envelop the entry experience by blurring the lines between the outside and the inside of the home. Create an outdoor space that is partially enclosed by the building’s walls but remains open to the sky and landscaping.

Use windows wisely. Use windows and openings to begin a visual connection between the indoors and outdoors. This serves as another tool for those entering the home to get a sense of the interior space.

Repeat materials. Give the visitor a preview of what they might expect within the home by introducing materials, shapes, forms and colors outside. As the door opens, repeat some of those elements in the entry to link the two spaces.

INSIDE OUT

Architect Tobin Smith says it’s critically important to remain connected to nature. As such, continuous planes and material continuity, as seen with the steel ceiling beams for this San Antonio residence, “minimize the legibility of the building envelope,” he says, allowing indoor and outdoor to merge. Color helps unify a plane, as well, and in this case enables the exterior’s smooth stucco wall to “slide on through the glass as a singular element” to the interior’s gypsum board. Even a floor-toceiling glass pane—at the end of the corridor—frames nature. “Connecting with the cosmos is what it’s all about,” says Smith. tobinsmitharchitect.com

ENTERTAINING EQUILIBRIUM

Striking design and space planning are the key elements that architect Jim Blochberger employed at this residence in Gilbert, Arizona. Arranged under a high-pitched roof are two distinct areas for dining and sitting, and although the volume of the roof is grand, the series of trusses bring down the height for a cozier feeling. “It’s nice to have a space that’s warm and welcoming,” he says. blochbergerdesign.com

16

In HARMONY

For optimal curb appeal, architect Larry Kahle hit all the key architectural principles designing this East Coast-inspired residence in Atherton, California: proper siting, a balanced sense of proportion and scale, great materials and detailing, and rhythm. “They feel natural and provide a sense of innate harmony,” he says. He always aims for repetition in threes, such as in windows, which makes for a “compelling and engaging,” design, he says.

Kahle also suggests incorporating white trim. “It pops against the cedar shingles and dark vegetation,” he says. metropolisarchitecture.com

INFLUENCE

When designing a residence in Coral Gables, Florida, set on a limestone ledge and surrounded by pin oak trees, architect Marc Turkel says, “We limited the palette and tried to use refined materials that have integrity and move from the outside to the inside.” Hence, the dramatic stacked-limestone in the home’s living room not only acts as a structural support but also as an ode to the exterior’s landscape. leroystreetstudio.com

18 NATURE NOD TO

Deemed the “butterfly house” because of the structure’s shape, this mountain contemporary home in Aspen, Colorado, features a wing-like roofline that opens it up to the vistas. By doing so, the design incorporates the surrounding landscape into the home. Architect Seth Hmielowski shares his thoughts on making location and materials work to your advantage. zgrouparchitects.com

Use what the lot has to offer. This house is on a small corner site in the center of town, where exterior space is at a premium. We lifted the ground floor to highlight mountain views—Red Mountain to the north and Aspen Mountain to the south—and obscure urban scenes like parked cars. Now, when sitting in the dining area or outdoor on the patio, you look out over the cars instead of into them.

19

Opposites attract. The limestone is monotone and gives off the feeling of concrete, but when you put it next to cedar siding, it adds an element of warmth.

How does the site influence your designs?

As a contextualist, the landscape is my first consideration when beginning a project.

The proximity to other structures, the topography, the views, the privacy— these aspects are the first clues as to what the house wants to be. markfinlay.com

Top design trend: The overall acceptance of modernism is really exciting, and not just because it’s been my life’s work. I think the places in the world where modernism is celebrated hold the deepest understanding of and appreciation for design. Those communities have great culture. drewettworks.com

Best thing to splurge on: Glass is expensive but worth it. Well-designed spaces with a lot of glass allow for a seamless connection from interior to exterior. Smaller spaces can feel much larger than they really are—not to mention the health benefits of natural light. Design motto: Build smaller. Build smarter. strang.design

Go-to element: Lighting. I use it to layer a space with warmth and interest. A room may be beautiful, but gorgeous lighting creates rooms you want to live in. What are homeowners requesting? I’m seeing more asks for spas and meditation rooms. People are looking to their home as a place of respite and peace. robbins-architecture.com

Favorite material: I love reclaimed materials, like brick or tile, as it is hard to authentically recreate a natural patina. Most important areas to invest in?

Windows and flooring—you want to spend on those portions of a house that are the most difficult to change later and that set the tone for the home. virginiakelsey.com

TROPICAL

PUNCH

Luxury is more than just expensive materials, and that’s exactly what architect Clemens Bruns Schaub proves with his tropical modern design of this coastal estate in Vero Beach, Florida. This home is grounded by its orientation—to the sun, winds, surrounding views, and garden. “It’s about wind through palm trees and how light moves through a courtyard,” he says. Caribbean-inspired elements, such as wooden jalousies that capture breezes and shed rain, are designed to work with the climate and natural environment. cbsarchs.com

STAIR MASTER

Lakefront cottages are always about the views, and that’s exactly why architect Michael Abraham designed this stunning Michigan abode to blur the lines between inside and out. Large and plentiful windows, plus a series of modern staircases throughout the property, open up sight lines to Paw Paw Lake. Here’s how Abraham achieved such a grand effect. michael-abraham.com

What inspired the idea for this dramatic staircase? This Napainspired house on Michigan’s Paw Paw Lake comprises three structures: two coach houses at the top of a hill and a spacious home along the lake. The compound was built on a sloping lot, so there are a number of staircases both inside and outside the house, along with an ipe-wood bridge system connecting the three structures. Since this three-

LX_COM23_PID.indd 203

level interior staircase would be visible from inside and outside, we wanted to mimic the adjacent exterior stairs.

How did you bring it to life?

Guests enter the main home on the second floor, and we worked with general contractor Dave Knecht to create this sculptural staircase that connects the residence’s three levels. We used floating wood treads and a linear steel railing.

Tell us about the use of metal, wood and glass throughout the spaces. The staircase offered one more opportunity to tie in these materials. We also wanted as much glass as possible to make it feel like you were outside when going from one floor to another. Continuity from room to room allows the elements that are intended to be special to stand out when desired.

▼ PASSING THROUGH More Colonial Williamsburg than Northern California, this Georgian-style beauty was brought lovingly back to life for the Atherton homeowners.

The long, windowed breezeway—constructed by builder Ed Faubel to join the house with a new garage—was designed to resemble a carriage house and connects the gardens in the front and back of the house. faubelconstruction.com

▲ NATURAL INSTINCTS Inside and outside meet in the master bathroom of this LEED-accredited Florida home. General contractor Cole Haynes worked closely with the design team and homeowner to achieve a sense of dimension using natural Mexican river rock and ipe wood, both surrounding the Duravit tub.

The same textures are repeated in the adjoining open-air shower and garden. the22group.com

▲ HEAVY METAL “The starkness of drywall is a thing of the past,” says general contractor Tom Fisher, who helped bring to life the powder room of this Arizona home. The walls, mostly steel cladding and wood veneers, create a textural backdrop for the copper-andlive-edge walnut counter built by Ramsey Brothers and envisioned by interior designer Anita Lang. fishercustomhomes.com

AGING gracefully

For this Oregon home perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the architecture is secondary to the setting. Residential designer David Horning used simple lines that mimic the Northern Oregon Coast Range and materials that will blend in the with surrounding landscape over time. Here, he shares a few tips. moa-arch.com Select materials that have common characteristics. In this home, we used elements that will age naturally. The cedar on the exterior and interior will eventually turn gray, and the brass and steel accents will patina and tarnish over time.

Consider the location. We loved the opportunity to use thick cedar boards on both the interior and exterior. Cedar is very durable and turns such a lovely gray as it patinas. It’s perfect for the coast.

Remember to show and tell. It’s helpful to have samples of materials for clients to touch, so they can experience the depth of finishes or fabrics firsthand. We create sample boards with palettes that reflect different design directions.

BUILDING THEORY FIVE BUILDERS SOUND OFF ON BEST PRACTICES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD MATERIALS.

MICHAEL GROSSWENDT Tenets of a successful remodel: Plans, plans and plans. I tell my clients that, for every dollar they spend on a good architect or designer, they will save a hundred dollars during the construction. It’s a lot cheaper to make your mistakes on paper. Favorite trend: I’m impressed with the advances in porcelain slabs: thin construction, curving shapes and remarkable patterns. allcoastconstruction.com

Best splurge: Hardwood floors and custom cabinetry are vital in any high-end home. White oak, in particular, allows for creative staining and glazing. There is also no substitute to an exceptional piece of Calacatta Gold marble. Why do kitchen and bathroom renovations add so much value? Those areas are where we spend most of our time. The old adage still rings true: Kitchens and master baths are what sell homes. riordanhomes.com

What is your favorite material? I love concrete— the raw material is muddy and physically hard to work with, yet the end result is solid and strong. You can also shape it into curves, make it smooth as silk, or rough and textured. It has endless personalities. I also appreciate standard, oldfashioned red brick. There is something so classic about brick—it reminds me of the Dick Van Dyke show. fairbankconstruction.com

Most important item for homeowners to spend on?

Windows and insulation.

They make a big impact on how comfortable a house is and they are very hard to replace later. Go-to material: Lately it’s steel, and I like to see it exposed whenever possible. The creative possibilities are limitless because there are so many ways to fabricate, machine, texture, forge and patina steel. gerberconstruction.net

Why are kitchen and bathroom renovations so important? Kitchens and bathrooms are where you do most of your living. How they work for you has a real correlation to how happy you are with your home.

Top building material: As a craftsman, wood has been a touchstone material for my entire career, especially because we are surrounded by all types of trees in the Pacific Northwest. tothconstruction.com

WIT & whimsy When presented with a bare sage-green garden gazebo covered in mature tea-rose vines at this Oakland property, designer April Powers was delighted at the opportunity to transform the sparse structure into a plush and playful outdoor gathering space. The clients’ fondness for Moorish decorative elements inspired her use of cushions and throw pillows in Moroccan-style patterns and colors on the custom-built banquette as well as a teak coffee table. Sheer drapery panels and an indoor-outdoor Stark rug complete the look of this inviting outdoor lounge ideal for entertaining guests. apowersinteriors.com

PEAK 26 EXPERIENCE

Designed to match the region’s rustic buildings and laid-back lifestyle, this traditional cabin-style home in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley epitomizes mountain living. The expansive porch with a grand stone fireplace allows the homeowners to take full advantage of the outdoors during summertime. A picturesque grove of Aspen trees frames the entrance to the house, and landscape architect Richard Camp saved another stand of trees in the entry courtyard, past which he installed an idyllic pond that looks like it could have been there for centuries. rclandscape.net

SITTING PRETTY

In keeping with this Texas home’s farmhouse feel, architect Michael Imber came up with the idea for a modern pool barn with sliding steel doors to create a visual enclosure for the yard.

The airy pavilion is flanked by pergolas on either side, which provide transparency and lightness, plus a little bit of shade from the hot Texas sun.

Stone, similar to what was used on the rest of the house, clads the pergola columns and fireplace, tying them in visually to the rest of the residence.

Furnishings selected by designer Fern Santini make for a comfortable outdoor sitting area for the homeowners, who can entertain guests while also keeping an eye on the children as they play in the pool and grassy yard. michaelgimber.com

SETTING THE SCENE IT’S ALL ABOUT DESIGNING TO LOCATION AT THESE THREE STUNNING HOMES, EACH WITH THEIR OWN UNIQUE POINTS OF VIEW.

SOARING VISTAS

Designer Thom Filicia mixed periods and styles for a fresh collected feel for this penthouse duplex in Manhattan. For the rooftop terrace with a striking city skyline view, he paired a sofa and chairs by McKinnon and Harris with two whimsical John Dickinson hoofed tables from Sutherland Furniture. thomfilicia.com

LX_COM23_PID.indd 207

LAKE LEVEL

This property with views of Lake Washington posed a fun challenge for landscape architect Scott Holsapple: Take a rugged site with almost no flat land and transform it into a garden sanctuary.

After clearing a barrier of invasive species, he restored the site with native plants and built a path supported by nurse logs. shd-la.com

COUNTRY CLASSIC

Planted with four-season interest in mind, this manicured Lake Michigan estate boasts a reclaimed brick walkway and knee wall landscaped with perennials, flowering trees, and naturalistic shrubs selected by landscape designer Simon Prunty of Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects. hoerrschaudt.com

For this polished outdoor space, landscape architect Keith Williams—who always advises clients to keep landscaping simple and clean—transformed an overgrown yard into a polished outdoor area to complement this Mediterranean Revival-style residence in Palm Beach. Here, citrus trees, ground cover, and jasmine minima around the pool area create a carpet-like effect perfect for the minimalist lounges along the pool deck. He kept a few existing Sabal palms for their height and uniqueness and added Alexander palms for a sense of privacy. Bougainvillea brings a pop of color. nieverawilliams.com

GREAT EXPECTATIONS ⊲ Designed to look like it could be centuries old, this Miami home embodies true Venetian glamour. Local artisans cleaned up the dilapidated 1930s home with salmon stucco walls, an authentic Spanish tile roof and Corinthian columns. Landscape designer Stanley Matz created lush gardens to match the old-world architecture. His team added sculpted podocarpus in the front to mimic Italian cypress trees, along with picnic roses and cone-shaped garcinia for a formal touch. In the courtyard, silver buttonwoods with gnarly twisted trunks give the illusion of Tuscan olive trees. majestic-gardens.com

⊳ DESERT BLOOM Landscape architect Pete Cure created an inviting alfresco living space for this Sedona, Arizona home. The sunken outdoor living room is surrounded by raised planters, filled with deer grass and large agaves, of varying heights that help define the space. A perimeter of native stones and vegetation, including ocotillo, broom snakeweed and salvia greggii provides a natural boundary. arterrasedonalandscapedesign.com

EN PLEIN

FOUR LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS SHARE THEIR IDEAS FOR CREATING INVITING ALFRESCO OASES.

30 GARDEN PARTY You might expect to find an outdoor dining room surrounded by lush, overgrown foliage on an island estate, but landscape designer Stephen Block designed this tropical enclave for his vintage Andalusian-style home in Los Angeles. He revived the old and tired existing garden with a mix of Mediterranean, tropical, antique, and modern elements to stunning effect. innergardens.com How did the idea for this outdoor dining area come about? The design and furniture selection developed from the concept that form follows function. The space is very long and narrow and connects to a perpendicular backyard pool area. I closed off this side yard area with a 1920s iron gate and pilasters, thereby creating the outdoor dining room. I chose a rustic wooden table and old wicker chairs. In one part of the space, a fountain (not pictured) by German designer George Wilhelm

LX_COM23_PID.indd 209

Marquardt gives us just enough gurgle to take away the sounds of the outside world. It also attracts all kinds of animal life. Sometimes, green parrots even land in the fountain to wash their bodies.

Tell us about the wicker chairs.

The chairs are rather voluptuous and the color has that worn-in look, just like the table. It all feels very relaxed. Designer Kathryn M. Ireland chose the simple cushions so as to not take away from the quietness of the furnishings and the space.

What were you hoping to achieve with the plant selection? Since the area is shaded by old Melaleuca trees, I had to utilize tropical shade plants in the garden. I love the dark green color and large scale of the round-leaved ligularia against the agave attenuata, with its contrasting Mediterranean gray color and leaf shape. Classical boxwood hedges frame the house, and three citrus trees give the space a verdant feel.

PHIL STEINHAUER

ORLANDO COMAS

Favorite plants: My go-to palette is the clump form of Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry, Gro-Low sumac, Mahonia Repens, and lowgrowing perennials. This grouping offers seasonal color. What makes for a successful remodel? The landscape is the first impression of a home, and having a continuous theme throughout the property gives the residence overall charm. Working with architects and interior designers allows landscape designers to create a seamless flow to the outdoors. designscapescolorado.com

How do you take the surrounding landscape into consideration? The clients’ activities and their location within the site will determine the basis of the landscape planning. Once that is established, I try to create a fusion when it comes to the plant palette selection. What shapes your designs? I have two key elements: first, the client’s style wishes, and second, the architectural style. These two concepts combined will define the look and direction of the landscape architecture.

JEFF BERGHOFF

TAL THEVENOT

What are the best ways to entice people to spend time outside?

Not only are we garden designers, but we are also designing for hospitality. Are the homeowners going to spend time in the sun, shade, around a pool, or a fire pit?

Creating these elements within different spaces in the garden and highlighting them will encourage homeowners and guests to spend time outside. Design trend you’re loving right now: I like a clean and tailored look—simplistic elegance will stand the test of time. berghoffdesign.com

How does the setting influence your design? We always study our existing, built and surrounding environments so we can cohesively merge the landscape with the existing scenery and architecture.

Some of the most important elements are sight lines, sun exposure, shade, drainage, views and circulation. Tenets of a successful remodel: Creativity, durability and function. Design trend you’re loving: Creative landscape and hardscape lighting can really transform an outdoor space. aquaterraoutdoors.com

As a more-is-more type of designer, layering is one of my favorite trends.

Each of these pieces represents the design world’s current obsession with all things curvilinear.

“These are a cool, modern alternative to traditional coffee tables and a fun way to add texture and personality to any space.”

“A combination of Continental European influence and our passion for reviving bygone eras, curves continue to reign supreme in furnishings, art and lighting.”

“Plaster and deep gesso finishes were abundant in lighting. Bleached-wood case goods and tables, as well as white shearling upholstery, brightened spaces.”

“I am continually inspired by iconic midcentury furniture pieces and incorporate them whenever I can.

Some of my favorites are the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Saarinen Oval Dining Table and the Womb Chair; they work absolutely anywhere.

Sixty-plus years later they are as fresh today as they were when introduced.”

I DON’T THINK THERE’S A MORE IMPACTFUL BUILDING MATERIAL IN A ROOM THAN MOLDINGS. WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED THEY HAVE A POWERFUL EFFECT.” –BRENT HULL, FORT WORTH, TX

“I love Oval Room Blue

by Farrow & Ball. I have used it in a library on all of the wall-to-wall bookshelves and in a bartender’s alley. It is great for bringing warmth to a space and adds a certain mood to a room.”

–KATHRYN M. IRELAND, LOS ANGELES

“We study great design

by Piero Portaluppi, Carlo Scarpa, Gio Ponti, Jean-Michel Frank, and Jacques Adnet for their wonderful understanding of classicism and their abilities to create sensitive evolutions to its traditions.”

–DANIEL KAHAN, WEST PALM BEACH, FL

“The simple concept of balance is always top of mind. Between the highly articulate gesture and the more neutral complement; finding the perfect resonance between the two and knowing when to stop is always a work in progress.

–JOSHUA AIDLIN, SAN FRANCISCO

“Less is more in terms of square footage.

Consider what portion of the home you enjoy spending time in. Make those parts the best they can be even if it means sacrificing areas that are rarely used.”

–DAVID MONTALBA, LOS ANGELES

“ SIMPLE VERNACULAR BUILDINGS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL REACTION TO CRAFT, CULTURE AND LANDSCAPE. OFTEN THEY ARE STRIPPED TO THEIR ESSENCE, APPEALING TO OUR SENSE OF SIMPLICITY AND RICHNESS IN CHARACTER.” –MICHAEL IMBER, SAN ANTONIO, TX

“ Invest in something custom that is yours alone. Be it a crazy kitchen island or an incredible custom coffee table. Splurge on a piece that will make every time you see it a joyful moment.

Home should bring you solace and joy.”

–GARY HUTTON, SAN FRANCISCO

MY DESIGN MANTRA IS, ‘GREEN OVER GRAY.’ INVEST IN HORTICULTURE OVER EXPENSIVE HARDSCAPE MATERIALS LIKE BRICK OR STONE. BEAUTIFULLY COMPOSED AND MULTI-SEASONALLY INTERESTING HORTICULTURE ALWAYS DELIGHTS MORE THAN AN EXPENSIVE DRIVEWAY. ” –DOUGLAS HOERR, CHICAGO

“ I’M INSPIRED BY TONY DUQUETTE. HE JUST NAILED IT EVERY TIME WITH HIS LAYERING AND WHIMSICAL THEMES, ALWAYS PLAYFUL YET VERY CHIC, ELEGANT AND FUN. PATTERNS AND USE OF COLOR WERE HIS GENIUS STREAK.” –ANIL KAKAR, MIAMI

“WALLCOVERINGS FEEL VERY NOW— ESPECIALLY WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF EXOTIC MATERIALS LIKE REAL WOOD VENEERS. WOVENS, PAPER-BACKED LINENS, AND SUBTLE METALLICS ADD A LAYER OF COMPLETION AND COMFORT TO THE WALL THAT CAN DEFINE A ROOM AND SERVE AS THE FINAL TOUCH.” –MICHAEL COX, NEW YORK

“For our residential interior design work, we’ve been particularly drawn to Scandinavian style, including light wood flooring, and neutrals accented with pops of color. Many of our projects are located in regions with long winters. By working in a light palette, we create spaces that are always warm, bright and pleasing, even on the grayest winter day.”

–JOE MCGUIRE, BOULDER, CO

SPLURGE ON FINISHES, FINISHES, FINISHES! THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE, TOUCH AND FEEL. RICH, APPROPRIATE FINISHES MAKE THE PROJECT. SELECT QUALITY HARDWARE, FLOORING, TILE AND STONE, PLASTERS, WOODS AND PAINTS.” –PAUL WILLIGER, LOS ANGELES

“I’m all about DunnEdwards Lunar Eclipse DE5776 paint color.

It’s like the old shutters in Italy. You think they’re black but they’re actually a very deep shade of green— the perfect wall color for a moody room.”

–HOLLY OGDEN, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

“We are surrounded by a delicate landscape that was formed by glaciers, volcanoes, ice and rivers.

These powerful forces are the show, we merely provide the audience with a comfortable year-round stage to the main attraction.”

“John Saladino is a master of poetic interiors.

I am endlessly inspired by his use of texture and exceptional ability to intertwine old and new. John actually trained a number of other highly respected designers, making his influence palpable throughout our industry.”

IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN WALLPAPER? MANY OF OUR CLIENTS ARE DRAWN TO CLASSIC FURNITURE WITH NEUTRAL COLORS. TO BALANCE THE SPACE, A WALLCOVERING WITH AN INTERESTING PATTERN OR COLOR CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.”

A good general contractor will make everyone look good; a bad general contractor cannot be overcome even by the best architects and designers.”

“MY CURRENT FAVORITE COLOR IS FARROW & BALL’S BORROWED LIGHT, WHICH IS THE PALEST BLUISH GRAY. IT IS BEAUTIFUL FOR A BEDROOM CEILING OR A NICE CHANGE FROM WHITE KITCHEN CABINETS WHEN JUST A HINT OF COLOR IS DESIRED.”

“We’re always inspired by hand-applied decorative wall finishes, and love working with artisans to create special treatments for clients. The hand-finished quality softens new construction and the ability to control the color, tone and activity level is a wonderful way to refine a design.”

–MARA MILLER AND JESSE CARRIER, NEW YORK

–KIM SCODRO, CHICAGO

THE HIGHEST EXPRESSION OF PLACE COMES WHEN YOU HONOR THE NATURAL ENVIRONS OF A REGION. WE ALWAYS LOOK TO TAKE CUES FROM THE NATURAL SCENES AROUND US.” –KRIS BARKER, CHICAGO

“ I love the fact that maximalism—color and bold design—is coming back into play.

Layered accessories, colors and textures are fantastic and soulful, and work well as counter plays to Belgian linen.”

–JAY JEFFERS, SAN FRANCISCO

“ The ideas of the Sarasota School of Architecture, a modernist movement that unfolded on Florida’s west coast during the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, continue to inform our work. That movement was highly respected for its progressive responses to site and climate. We’re committed to advancing and adapting those ideas into a new era.”

The experts at Alyshaan Fine Rugs offer this challenge to potential clients: “Give us 10 minutes of your time, let us show you how and why we do this business, and you will never shop for rugs anywhere else,” CEO Saeed Aslam says. It’s a strong statement, but if the lengths they went to for one client are any indication, it’s true. “We had a client with a 40-foot, curved hallway for which she wanted a bamboo silk rug,” Aslam says. “No one had ever heard of such a thing, so we made an actual paper cutout of the space and sent it to our looms in India via courier. The rug was perfect, and she loves it to this day.”

One wonders how such a global collaboration could be fluid, but Aslam and the Scottsdalebased Alyshaan team communicate closely with their overseas producers. Masters of working with silk, viscose, Tencel, wool and more, the artisans are employed within generations-old, family-owned businesses.

After developing uncommonly durable and high-tech products for the hotel industry, Decor Team, a unique workroom and purveyor of window coverings, fabrics and soft goods, began receiving requests for just such products in the residential space. “In the past, we were installing these premier quality options in high-end hotel suites and conference rooms, but now everyone wants them in their house, and they want them to work with their smart systems too,” company owner and president Shai Avisira says. “‘Alexa, open the bedroom shade to 50 percent,’ is something our installers hear more and more.” While Decor Team does provide blinds and roller shades from various brand names, every other product it offers, from curtains, draperies and valances, to cornices, bedding and upholstery, is fabricated by its own team.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: A CINEMA TO DAZZLE

Asked to share one of Decor Team’s more unusual custom projects, Avisira tells of a client who decided to build a diamond-shaped theater in his penthouse. “Because it was a theater room, it needed to be able to be fully blacked out,” Avisira says. “It was a huge challenge, because the walls were glass and built in two gradients (like a diamond). We ended up fabricating a special motorized system that works perfectly.”

PAUL RENE FURNITURE AND CABINETS paulrenefurniture.com • 602.282.3396 • @paulrene_furniture

At Paul Rene Furniture and Cabinets, function and style are not the only considerations that go into each design. Creating with their tagline, “transcend,” always in mind, principal designer Paul Jeffrey and his team strive to “bend the will of raw materials to function as sublime objects of meaning.” They believe cabinetry and furniture should both serve a practical purpose, and evoke and uplift. “We translate the client’s unique wants and needs into the design language of lines, curves, shapes, color and texture,” Jeffrey says. “Each element of the language has meaning that, when intentionally juxtaposed, tells a visual story.” As for how they achieve these aims while creating tasteful cohesion, Jeffrey says it’s all about understanding motion. “The key to matching surfaces seamlessly is planning where we want the eye to move to and where we want it to rest.”

HOW IS TECH IMPACTING THE INDUSTRY?

2

“Technology has made design excellence more accessible to the end user, through many online vehicles and platforms,” Jeffrey says.

“This is fueling what is being called the fourth industrial revolution, or ‘the era of mass customization.’

Additionally, computer-aided design software is allowing us to prototype a digital twin of a physical furnishing, making it easier to experiment with surfaces and shapes.”

PICASSO TILE & STONEWORK picassotile.com • 602.225.0525 • @picassotile

A leader in the industry since 1989, Picasso Tile & Stonework has become known for its close collaboration with architects, builders and designers. Assisting them in the procurement of desired materials, and then conducting tests to confirm the viability of those selections for the intended use, the Picasso team makes stunning and unique surface applications possible. CEO Michele Kalec, who runs the company along with CFO Carolyn Karbo, shares the details of a project that exemplifies the team’s creative capabilities. “We had an architect and builder who wanted an 18-by-12-foot wall to become the shower wall,” she says. “It was to open to an outdoor rose garden and be clad in translucent stone so that light would glow through, and the plumbing fixtures needed to be in the same moving wall. Through teamwork and several mock-up tests, we made this design dream come true.”

THE SURFACE SELECTION MUST-DOS + Explore preferences. “There are hundreds of thousands of tile and stone choices,” Kalec says. “I recommend getting a feel for what colors and styles move you. Think of the places in the world that influence you aesthetically and draw from them.” + Research creative applications. “Most tiles and stones have limitations in addition to their abilities, so it is always important to ask about both when making an educated decision,” Karbo says. “However, if you are told something can’t be done, get two more opinions from respected sources.”

Paradise Found IN THE FOOTHILLS OF CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN, A COUPLE PUTS DOWN NEW ROOTS. WRITTEN BY PATRICIA LEIGH BROWN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURA MOSS

A

ttachments to places can run deep. And so it was for the owners of a Paradise Valley residence in the foothills of Camelback Mountain, a neighborhood in which the husband grew up and as a teenager would ride all-terrain vehicles through the desert mesquite and prickly pear. When he and his wife, also an Arizonan, wanted a new home in the area, they turned to interior designer Jana Parker Lee to interpret their fondness for the Valley of the Sun in a residence designed for extended family gatherings.

Now empty nesters, the couple had lived in a Paradise Valley residence before, but the house was ornate and European in feel and wasn’t a perfect fit for the two. “It had lots of heavy stone and faux-rustic elements,” says Parker

Lee. “So much of the Southwest look gets reproduced, and these clients like casual but not anything rustic. They wanted a little a bit of refinement.”

The couple’s new house, whose interiors Parker Lee characterizes as “streamlined classical,” features rich details brought to life by builder Dominick Abatemarco, such as weighty walnut doors with pure bronze hardware and Venetian plaster walls, polished and mottled to provide “a clean old-world finish,” he says. The design— which originated with architects Mark Candelaria and Meredith Thomson yet evolved along the way—boasts clay roof tiles that are flat, in contrast to the region’s prevailing Spanish-style barrel aesthetic. “They’re not showy people,” Abatemarco says of the clients. “Those kinds of sharp details were key.”

For the Paradise Valley house of an empty nester couple, interior designer Jana Parker Lee created interiors she describes as “clean-lined traditional.”

In the living room, a painting by Judith Kruger from Bentley Gallery presides over a seating area with a pair of custom armchairs in Lee Jofa stripe and a coffee table by Harrison-Van Horn. The lamps are from Blackman Cruz in Los Angeles.

“I always throw in a few antiques to add character and contrast,” Parker Lee notes. At ease with the antique limestone fireplace from Exquisite Surfaces in Los Angeles are contemporary A. Rudin chairs and a Bright coffee table from Town. The living room’s dramatic architectural elements—18-foot-tall Venetian plaster walls and arched windows—were brought to life by builder Dominick Abatemarco.

Opposite: At the clients’ behest, Parker Lee designed an oversize kitchen so that extended family could gather and join in with the cooking. She chose subtle gray shades by Farrow & Ball for the custom cabinetry from Finely Designed, while opting for Farrow & Ball Stone Blue for the large island. The counters and backsplash are from Galleria of Stone.

Below: The residence was situated to take advantage of Camelback Mountain views, and the rugged scenery softens while dining alfresco at sunset. To create an inviting outdoor dining area, Lee chose a Sutherland teak table and chairs, upholstered in Perennials fabric. “Our home was designed to enjoy the beautiful views from the inside and the outside,” the wife says.

Opposite: “Comfortable upholstery is a must,” says Parker Lee. In the library, she covered chairs from Aesthetic in Los Angeles with a supple leather by Howe and paired them with a custom tiger-wood desk.

A gold-leaf Paul Ferrante chandelier from John Brooks Incorporated adds a dash of dazzle.

Below: For the entry hall, as throughout, the goal was streamlined classicism—“no curlicues,” says the interior designer, who illuminated the space with a chandelier by The Urban Electric Co.

To put the rooms together, Parker Lee and the wife visited showrooms in Los Angeles and Arizona, settling upon traditional and modern pieces interspersed with antiques and custom-designed furniture and cabinetry.

“My favorite thing is to create a mix that feels personal and collected,” Parker Lee says. In the living room, contemporary leather lounge chairs commune with an antique limestone mantel and small lamps set on custom Wiseman and Gale étagères. In the formal dining room, custom-built oak cabinets root the room while serving as the perfect foil for a handblown chandelier with shellshaped crystals by John Pomp.

Shades of blue and gray are dominant, a palette chosen by the wife “who has always loved blue,” Parker Lee

notes. Though Paradise Valley is an elite province, the couple prizes the area’s “neighborliness.” Their priority was providing an array of gathering and dining spaces for their extended family, including relatives nearby. “Our dining spaces allow everyone to have a seat at a table and sit comfortably, which was very important to us,” says the wife.

Various shades of teal, cornflower and navy blue permeate the adjacent family room and custom-designed kitchen, including an enormous kitchen island. The kitchen is the family’s center of gravity, with an office and sitting area to one side—the perfect space for mulling over recipes. Metal pendants and walnut shelves add an earthy feel. The space is deliberately oversized “so that everyone can congregate there and share in the cooking,” says the wife.

For the outdoor living area, wide Dedar woven chairs from Inside/ Out are outfitted with cushions covered in a blue Perennials fabric. “Colors and textures were purposely chosen so that the indoor spaces flowed seamlessly to the outdoor living areas,” Parker Lee notes. The antique cactus is from Wiseman and Gale.

Chaise lounges by Pavilion are arranged next to the swimming pool, which is bordered on one side by lush plantings and views of Phoenix beyond.

Landscape architect Jeff Berghoff, who designed the outdoor areas, essentially started from scratch to replace foliage disrupted by construction.

11/27/18 2:06 PM

In the light-filled master bathroom—which features a Thassos tile floor in a beehive pattern inset by Waterworks—a Celine tub from Devon & Devon takes in ample natural light and treetop views. Creating contrast to the pristine tub are a ceramic vessel by Mark Hendrickson from Costello Childs Gallery and a side table from Formations.

When the brutal triple-digit summer heat is behind them, the couple throw open the retractable doors to the patio and the gardens beyond, which are the vision of landscape architect Jeff Berghoff. “During construction, a majority of the site was disturbed and had to be recreated,” he notes. “We blended in native trees and shrubs transitioning to a lusher botanical look as you approach the home.” The negative-edge pool was situated to take in views of the city and mountains; in an

LX_AZ49_HOM_Wiseman_12.indd 264

architectural sleight of hand, visitors arrive through the front gate, which has views of the back patio, and wend their way up a drive to the main entrance at the back.

At sunset, the mountain’s rust-red boulders become luminous, the foreboding aspects of the desert landscape giving way to something almost tender. In such moments, this thoughtfully designed residence brings to mind the spirit of a Navajo blessingway, enabling the couple and those close to them to “walk in beauty.”

Soft, hand-printed linen window treatments by Galbraith & Paul offer a soothing backdrop to the master bedroom, where a custom bed by De La Madera, upholstered with Twill Textile fabrics from John Brooks Incorporated, adds to the serene feel. Atop the fireplace surround from Exquisite Surfaces in Los Angeles are a Han Dynasty Cocoon jar and a papier-mâché bust by artist Agnès Baillon, both from Wiseman and Gale.

Object LESSON TURNING EVERYDAY ITEMS INTO WORKS OF ART, A PHOENIX ARTIST CREATES A VISUAL LANGUAGE ALL HIS OWN. WRITTEN BY MONIQUE MCINTOSH / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JILL RICHARDS

LX_AZ49_SM_McGee_4.indd 266

11/27/18 10:42 AM

Mixed-media artist Matt Magee (below) works from a studio at Cattle Track Arts Compound in Scottsdale, creating work from an unlikely range of objects, including 10-inch steel nails (opposite). For one of his untitled works (left), ceiling fan blades become the setting for airplane rivets and lids “glued in rows so they become language-y,” he notes.

W

hen artist Matt Magee arrives at his studio every morning, he never knows what’s waiting for him at the front door—spare aluminum cans, plastic buttons, rusty nails or delicate seashells. Fellow artists and friends send him these everyday artifacts of their lives, hoping they’ll inspire Magee’s abstract paintings, prints and sculptures. These humble offerings are perhaps a side effect of his work, which compels viewers to find eloquence in the most banal objects. “My work is a constant quest for a visual vocabulary,” says Magee, who uses these found pieces “as a glyph, a kind of telegraphic shape to interpret.”

Magee likes to mull over materials until “they become something suggestive,” he says of his process. In addition to objects from friends, the artist seeks out aluminum cans and detergent bottles from local laundromats (favoring Mexican brands for their vivid hues).

He turns the cans inside-out and snips the metal into shards, creating silvery mosaics layered like armor. He cuts bright plastic into oblong shapes and suspends them by steel wire, creating wall hangings that resemble Technicolor runes. His studio is stocked with a surplus of materials, organized by color in stacks of Tupperware. luxesource.com / 267

LX_AZ49_SM_McGee_4.indd 267

11/27/18 10:43 AM

Magee, who creates shapes by flattening them into twodimensional planes, is also an accomplished photographer, and in his photography as in his sculptures, he forages the world around him for interesting shapes: the block letters of highway signs, the faded marks of an old receipt, or the boxy frame of water meters. “I’m first interested in the object’s pure form,” says Magee. “But on a second level, I’m interpreting the shape. There is a language that can be found in everything.”

The artist’s methodical manner of collecting and examining objects was influenced by his geologist father. Moving from Paris to Tripoli to London, the family eventually settled in Texas, where he and his father hunted the desert for arrowheads and fossils. “I inherited his way of working,” recalls Magee. “When you put things in rows you can compare and contrast. It’s a way of understanding what you’ve found.”

Creating such meaningful order in art continued throughout his career. After completing a Masters of Fine Arts at the Pratt Institute in New York, he later became the chief photo archivist for artist Robert Rauschenberg for over 18 years.

This life in New York meant cataloguing by day and creating art by night. But Magee’s art (and his own collecting) ballooned in scope and quantity since moving to Arizona in 2012. This burst of productivity soon attracted accolades. He received the Arlene and Morton Scult Contemporary Forum Artist Award from the Phoenix Art Museum in 2017, and Radius Books published a survey of

LX_AZ49_SM_McGee_4.indd 268

his works from 2012 to 2018. More shows follow this year at the Etherton Gallery in Tucson, the Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque and the Wilson Stephens & Jones gallery in London. The Hiram Butler Gallery in Houston will also be exhibiting his photography.

Magee’s studio, at the historic Cattle Track Arts Compound, provides creative space to breathe. “I can work more slowly and more methodically, and it’s added richness to my work,” he says. Among the raw materials, there are also sentimental objects, like his father’s collection of rock specimens, which Magee inherited after his passing.

They may seem like common stones, but like the radical transformation of detergent bottles and donated cans in his own art, they articulate expressive meaning in his hands— of a father and son turning rubble into talismans.

For a 2017 work, Circuit Breaker 1 (top, left) Magee arranged die-cut metal scraps on an aluminum sheet. Green Text, made entirely of punctuation marks, (top, right) “exemplifies my interest in basic components of form,” the artist says. A mobile made from cut-up detergent bottles (opposite) is displayed with a collection of recent work.

HOUSE WHISPERERS ATTUNING THEMSELVES TO THE NEEDS OF A PARADISE VALLEY HOME, A DESIGN TEAM DELIVERS A STUNNING TRANSFORMATION. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART / PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARYN MILLET

luxesource.com / 271

LX_AZ49_HOM_StudioV_12.indd 271

11/27/18 10:26 AM

Interior designers Etta Cowdrey and Caroline Swaback transformed a Paradise Valley residence into a bright, contemporary dwelling. In the living room, Fabricut chenille dresses the Rene Cazares sectionals. Joining the arrangement are an armchair and pair of coffee tables by Thayer Coggin from Alexander Sinclair and an RH floor lamp and carpet. The windows are from Mirror Works.

E

tta Cowdrey listens. She listens to her clients— that goes without saying. But the interior designer also listens to their homes. “What does it want to be? What is the palette?” she’ll ask. “Is it light and bright? Warm and moody? Does it want painted millwork or something heavier and darker?” So, when it came to transforming a Paradise Valley home with her colleague, interior designer Caroline Swaback, it had a surprising answer. Instead of a simple cosmetic refresh, the house wanted to be softer and brighter, inside and out.

“We decided to smooth out and lift the spaces,” explains Cowdrey. “It was an unusual choice and direction.”

That the existing house wanted to be a white, light and airy place wasn’t immediately apparent and is a testament to the designers’ abilities to divine a structure’s needs. Built in 1999 on a site with commanding views of the valley, the home’s exterior featured copper fascia offset by heavy stackedstone site walls. Both the interior designers and homeowners agreed that the copper should remain, but the stone—too heavy for the elegant lines of the structure—should be replaced. They soon found a Black Sea limestone with green undertones to cover the site walls, which now blend in with the surrounding landscape. Custom-ordered in the longest lengths available and placed in a random, undulating pattern, the limestone softens and brightens the exterior and serves as a transition for the interior’s material palette.

Inside, Cowdrey and Swaback chose white oak for the floors. (“Instead of feeling gnarled, heavy and dark, it feels sleek, smooth and soft,” Cowdrey points out.) And rather than a lacquered finish for the white-painted surfaces, the designers opted for a matte effect. An occasional burst of shine arises, in the hardware or on the kitchen’s quartz countertops, but the rest of the surfaces, including a stunning, book-matched, honed-marble backsplash in the kitchen, keep them in check.

De Sede of Switzerland counter chairs pull up to the kitchen island, while Vibia pendants from YLighting cast a soft glow. Sourced from Picasso Tile & Stonework, the sleek quartz countertops and honedmarble backsplash offer a striking textural contrast. The cabinetry

by Rysso Peters, accented with Linnea hardware, is painted in Sherwin Williams’ Repose Gray.

Ferguson supplied the Kohler sinks, Dornbracht faucets and Wolf range.

Underpinning the material choices are structural and layout changes made with a similar emphasis on lightening and brightening. The designers removed a fixed piece of cabinetry separating the study’s entrance from the living room and the views beyond. “It was a strange pinch-point,” recalls Cowdrey. “You had to walk up the stairs to get around it.” Straightening out the curved wall of the kitchen required “a complete redesign,” says general contractor Jeff Lupien.

“We tore down bearing walls, put in a hidden beam and did additional foundation work.” The intervention allowed for a more orthogonal space that’s also open to the views.

Elsewhere, they converted a bedroom into a steam room that seats 10 easily. Removing the study’s millwork and coffered ceiling and combining it with an adjoining exercise room opens it to the views. And, anchoring one end of the home, a new structure holds the couple’s collection of wine and champagne. “The whole thing hangs on a cleat and gives the illusion that it’s floating,” she explains. “It’s made to look like a piece of art or sculpture.”

Cowdrey and Swaback looked to the clients’ laid-back lifestyle to drive furnishings. “They wanted to be able to have guests come over and watch a game or have a wine tasting,” says Cowdrey, so the key was to balance the modern forms the couple preferred with comfort and ease, in a range of gray and saddle hues. In the dining room, a space that could read more formally, the designers opted for a custom bench for a more casual feel. Additional custom pieces figured into their scheme, notably the buffet and table, also in the dining room, and the cantilevered partners’ desk in the study, made of rift white oak and with full plug-in capabilities in order to reduce wall clutter. Mixed in are rugs with textural rather than shiny appearances and light fixtures finished in black tones.

“The color comes from the champagne bottles and artwork and accessories,” says Cowdrey, noting that color also comes from the clients themselves. “She’s so fun and vibrant,” the designer says of the wife. “The home is a stage for them to have conversations and experiences.”

The designers also set their sights on the landscape, inspired by architect Vernon Swaback, Caroline’s father and the founder of their firm. “He’s the last living apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and is a wonderful spirit guide for us,” Cowdrey reports. “His biggest fundamental is to think architecturally first, and he challenges us to think outside of the box.” Driven by his ethos, the pair conceived an idyllic

LX_AZ49_HOM_StudioV_12.indd 278

terrace off the kitchen. Tucked on the north side of the building, the space she calls “a private little oasis” includes a water feature of limestone, metal and concrete, a fire pit and planters, all designed by the pair.

Reflecting on the house now, Cowdrey emphasizes its livability and softness, despite its clean lines. “There are some wow details, not garish or too over the top or flashy,” she says, adding, “I use the Chanel analogy of taking one accessory off—don’t overdo and keep it simple.” The result is ethereal and in keeping with its spectacular natural environment. “We made it feel like a home,” says the designer.

“With the desert surrounding, we wanted to make sure that the water feature was a focal point,” Cowdrey says of the detail on the home’s north terrace. “The curved wall inspired the 25-foot built-in banquette that creates an intimate setting to enjoy the fire pit and watch a game on the outdoor television.” The pair of sofas, by Andrew Richard Designs, and the banquette wear Sunbrella fabric.

A bronze sculpture by Kim Fox is displayed at the entrance of a Paradise Valley residence designed and built by residential designer Sarah Swartz Wessel and general contractor Ethan Wessel. The owners spend half the year in Arizona and wanted a clean-lined, contemporary setting for the artworks they’ve collected over the years.

or a pair of avid collectors, the concept for their new home began as a vision for an Asian-inspired residence in the desert, a place that would allow them to enjoy the artworks they had gathered over the years. Through a gallery-owner friend, the homeowners met residential designer Sarah Swartz Wessel and general contractor Ethan Wessel, who have channeled their own love for Japan into clean-lined dwellings with a singular sense of place. After touring several of the pair’s projects, the couple knew they’d found their match.

The Wessels are collectors themselves, so they understood their clients’ desire to enjoy their artworks in a more personal way. “Rather than big expanses of gallery-like walls, we imagined a variety of ‘situations’ in which the art would become part of the experience of each space,” Sarah Swartz Wessel says.

LX_AZ49_HOM_Tennen_12.indd 285

The couple spend half the year in Paradise Valley and wanted to stay in the area, so first on the agenda was finding a lot to build on. One property caught their eye.

Situated between Mummy Mountain and Camelback Mountain, it was populated with mature trees, agave and cacti. But it came with a hitch: A natural wash for seasonal runoff had been rerouted by previous owners and would have to be restored. When aerial photos from the 1940s revealed that the wash originally ran directly through the middle of the property, the Wessels were undeterred.

Rather than set the house to one side or the other of what is—most of the year—essentially a dry arroyo, they designed a structure that would straddle it. That decision set into play a host of possibilities for the Wessels, who typically oversee every aspect of their projects, from design and construction to the interior and landscape design.

Toru Kamiya’s 2016 Silence injects vivid color into the open-plan living-dining room. “We wanted a limited palette of wood tones, black and white, so that the color would come from the art,” says the wife. The Edra sofa is from DDC in Los Angeles. Saarinen chairs from Design Within Reach surround a bronze-detailed table by Holly Hunt.

Set on one level, the house is laid out in almost an H-shaped plan, with the open living-dining area and kitchen at the center. Though the public rooms are positioned above the wash, from inside there’s no abrupt drop-off, only the feeling that the house sits lightly in the desert landscape.

The sense of airiness is heightened by the peaked roof over the main volume, which features a gravity-defying skylight of faceted plate steel and glass weighing nearly 10,000 pounds. One wing holds the entrance, a guest suite and the garage. On the other side of the house is the master suite, a family room and a bedroom for the couple’s grandchildren.

When it came to materials, the Wessels chose salvaged Arizona mesquite to accent a longtime favorite: cast-inplace concrete, which they used for walls, cantilevered roof overhangs and patios, and even the roof for the freestanding pavilion. “It’s a limitless material,” says Ethan Wessel. Floors of white oak contribute to the neutral palette.

“We wanted the color to come from the art,” says the wife.

The pavilion roof gave the designers the chance to explore the limits of the concrete in a new way. They’d originally conceived it as a solid rectangular slab, but wanting more light, they punched through it with conical holes of varying sizes. “We canted the sides of each opening,” Ethan Wessel says. “As the sun moves, the little circles move.”

A glazed ceramic from Japanese artist Jun Kaneko’s Dango series sits beneath the largest opening, occupying its own natural spotlight during the day.

Balancing the concrete are windows that underscore the home’s transparency. From the floor-to-ceiling windows in the main rooms to the high horizontal opening in the husband’s office to the vertical sliver in the guest bathroom, glass is deployed throughout to frame interior sight lines as well as views to the landscaping—a mix of native plantings and bamboo designed by Sarah Swartz Wessel—and Camelback Mountain beyond.

The interior relies less on hallways than on what the design team refers to as “transitions,” with partition walls where the clients display pieces that include a large work by Alison Dunn, a photograph by Erica Deeman and a canvas by Spanish Abstract Expressionist painter Esteban Vicente. “It’s about shifting your brain as you

LX_AZ49_HOM_Tennen_12.indd 288

walk through the house,” Sarah Swartz Wessel explains.

“Those transition spaces are a pause before the next thing.” Minimal custom furnishings by the Wessels join contemporary pieces chosen in collaboration with the wife, who has a degree in interior architecture.

The couple now has a true indoor-outdoor experience in the desert: a private, serene and intimate retreat where they can delight in their collection and welcome family and friends. “There are a lot of layers to the house,” says Sarah Swartz Wessel. “The husband told us he spends time in each room just about every single day. He’ll go into his office, then he’ll sit in the living room to read, then the family room and then the bedroom. He says he just loves moving around the house because every part of it is so different.”

11/27/18 10:38 AM

Opposite: An Esteban Vicente diptych hangs near a mixed-media piece by Maurizio Pellegrin in the hall. “Our former home was filled with Asian and European antiques and Persian carpets,” says the wife. “This house is a bit of a mix.”

The house’s angled concrete walls are juxtaposed with fast-growing bamboo outside the master bedroom. After the Wessels rerouted a wash through the middle of the property, Sarah Swartz Wessel redesigned the landscape, integrating new plantings with existing agave, cactus and ironwood trees. The bed is from Poliform.

“To design and build a home that would reflect magnificent views, in a contemporary, light and open environment.” This was the vision one client brought to Weinman Architectural Services, and upon discovering the site’s 360-degree vistas, company owner and principal architect Nancy Weinman knew it would be a massive undertaking. The results, completed in collaboration with builder Creekside Enterprises LLC, are certainly impressive. “The final layout opens views in four directions, enabling inhabitants to enjoy sunrises and sunsets alike,” Weinman says.

“The east side has multiple 12-foot sliders, as well as a clerestory window above. Additional clerestory windows on the remaining sides create a box that the light just dances across, at different times of the day.”

The bathroom palette is neutral but textural, allowing the light and landscape to prevail. Mirrors inspired by the owners' recent trip to India pair with Italian cabinetry and fixtures from Restoration Hardware.

For the experts at BedBrock Developers, reaching beyond expectations is all in a day’s work.

“It’s simple,” company president Rich Brock says. “We strive to provide an extreme quality of construction and incredible service for life.” Brock founded the firm after having spent years developing, building and remodeling throughout the Paradise Valley, Arcadia and Scottsdale areas. With experience in business and marketing, a degree in engineering and a passion for classical architecture, he yearned for a career where he could combine and utilize every element of these interests. It’s a goal he’s more than managed to achieve, as he now collaborates with reputable architects and interior designers to perfect everything from midcentury modern estates to authentic European villas. Regardless of a project’s aesthetic, Brock possesses an inherent fervor for his work. “I get a rush just walking the site, envisioning the finished product,” he says. “I imagine looking out of a window at the beautiful mountain views, and then I can see the entire build as it will be. One of my favorite parts of construction is the framing stage. I love the smell of fresh-cut pine and seeing what’s on paper come to life.” He goes on to offer a final note on his impressive and diverse portfolio: “If you ask a father who his favorite child is, he says they all are. If you ask me which is my favorite home, I’d say the same. I love them all equally.”

CLAIRE OWNBY Ownby Design 7154 East Stetson Drive, Suite D105 Scottsdale, Arizona 480.575.8448 info@ownbydesign.com ownbydesign.com For interior designer Claire Ownby, collaboration is everything. When asked to share the part of her work she finds most rewarding, she quickly credits her team at Ownby Design.

“I’m proud of my team and the amazing company culture we’ve built together,” she says. “The level of job satisfaction is high in the design world, and approaching each project with others who share your passion only enhances that.” Ownby’s firm, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, is known for minimalistic and casual interiors. “Most of the homes we design have a transitional style that expresses the personality of the client,” Ownby says. “In addition to partnering with other professionals on a project, we work on an intimate level with our clients to create spaces that are exactly what they desire. It’s the most fulfilling experience.”

Through close collaboration, we create a strong cohesion between the architecture, interiors and landscape.

Design inspirations?

Travel. Experiencing new cultures, old buildings or even an isolated beach can all bring a tremendous amount of inspiration.

Our team also travels to design shows and markets to stay current.

Motto you live by?

My design motto is ‘less is more.’ I think the editing process is just as important as the initial concepts. Being able to remove whatever is not necessary can create some of the most calming spaces. My business motto is ‘treat everyone on the project with the same level of respect and appreciation.’

We need the entire team of professionals to complete the amazing homes we work on.

If you weren’t in this industry, you’d be a …

Landscape designer or event planner, I think.

How important is a realtor in helping someone find the home of his or her dreams?

Finding a house online appears to be a quick and easy process, but my experience working with discerning buyers, sellers and investors tells a different story. The internet lacks things only a market expert can provide, like real-time insight into a neighborhood’s lifestyle, local and national market trends, insider data, off-market property access and the ability to be protected throughout the entire contracting process.

What is your most prized possession?

I certainly love my books. I’m an avid learner, and I am always eager to expand my knowledge base. My favorite book right now is The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer … a must-read for anyone wanting to experience life at a high level of consciousness.

ROBIN ORSCHELN

After moving from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and starting a family, Robin Orscheln wanted to find a career that enabled a flexible, kid-friendly lifestyle and the freedom to guide her own future. She soon found herself drawn to the opportunities that the real estate profession offered. It wasn’t long before she discovered what would become an empowering career. Committed to helping build both relationships and community, she can often be found at the center of elevated business and real estate conversations. She regularly contributes insight and perspective into the development of two of the hottest, most desirable neighborhoods in Arizona, known as Arcadia and Paradise Valley. “These areas comprise savvy and affluent residents that are devoted to the growth of their communities,” Orscheln says. “Both Arcadia and Paradise Valley hold to a lot of my own values in relation to lifestyle, connections to inner workings of a city, local restaurants and an overall feel of true community.” As for how locals are buying, selling and investing, Orscheln says they aren’t looking for a quick deal if it means sacrificing the amenities and quality they desire. Interestingly, she notes that this outlook is also shared by her growing millennial client base. In partnership with Brian North, with whom she shares a common vision, Orscheln is the owner of RO Luxury Group at North&Co. Given her mission to replace the industry’s long-held “me” culture with a “we” culture, it is unsurprising that Orscheln is recognized as a real estate industry influencer.

DREWETT WORKS

For C.P. Drewett, design is instinctive. “My process starts with an emotional understanding of the site,” he says. “When I walk a piece of land, I form an attachment to it. It speaks to me and makes impressions.” From there, he lets the ideas flow from hand to paper, which is where all his work still begins. “I initially design at a very small scale and add layer after layer,” Drewett says. “People frequently stop by my desk and laugh because they don’t understand or see what I see. Sometimes it just looks like a dense amount of black … sketches on sketches. But once I harness the core concept and begin perspective studies, I bring others in and start collaborating. This allows for joint authorship and opens the design up to the fun part: working with my team.” As the president and principal architect behind Drewett Works, he’s built an environment where openness and group work are welcome, and as a result, innovation is a part of every project. This ethos at the heart of the firm is evident in Drewett’s definition of a successful project. “It’s a joyful conclusion,” he says. “It’s not about being perfect; it’s about a team executing a shared vision in which the project and its core principles are more important than the endeavors of those involved.

When a project has that strength—the removal of individuality from the equation for the sake of one unified purpose—you’ll see success.”

Tips for clients to make the design experience more rewarding?

Be honest and transparent. Avoid indifference, because it will devastate the design process. Give yourself the opportunity to fall freely into creativity.

Be open-minded, which affords your design team more creative energy to devote to your project.

Also, don’t feel you have to put a label on style.

Images and descriptions of materials are all a pro needs to craft bespoke architecture.

Define luxury.

It’s the union of fearlessness, perfect execution, thoughtful assemblance, restraint and elegance.

KEVIN B. HOWARD ARCHITECTS

At Kevin B. Howard Architects, the relationship between built forms and nature is being redefined. “Our philosophy is rooted in the ideals of sustainability, authenticity of materials and carefully integrated construction,” principal architect Kevin B. Howard says. “We try to convey the reflective aspect of living within nature in our work.” From the Sonoran Desert to the coastal areas of Baja California, the firm produces regional, modern, organic and Zen-like residences that showcase a melding of site and structure. The desert, according to Howard, has many an appeal, both in respect to the lifestyle it offers and the aesthetics it encourages.

“Our clients are drawn to these areas because of the warm weather and uniqueness of the environment,” he says. “Most of them like to take advantage of the desert light, the expansive views and the ability to spend ample time outdoors.” In a further effort to achieve these goals for his clients, Howard expanded his firm from its initial focus on architecture to a full-service enterprise, offering construction and interior design services as well. “I wanted to be able to perfect every step of a harmonious, unified process and result,” he says. Alongside his main muse, nature, Howard draws on the contrast between Wrightian approaches to desert architecture and the attention to clean, formalist detailing of Mies van der Rohe and Corbusier.

Since 1984, Robinette Architects has been pursuing the craft and art of architecture. The firm was established after its principal and namesake, Ron Robinette, spent time working in other offices and realized his desire to guide all elements of a project. With the client’s vision at the heart of every design, Robinette and his team have found success in a continual desire to learn, adding knowledge and skills to their repertoire with each new endeavor. “Our mission is to work toward being the leader in custom residential design,” Robinette says. “The secret is simple: listen to our clients and work to find out how we can best enhance the way they live.

We hope that our clients enjoy living in the spaces we create for them.” In an area known for its desert landscapes, Robinette considers the uniquely beautiful, harsh yet fragile, surroundings of each residence a significant influence. The environment plays another role, too. “Many of our clients have selected land with special qualities,” Robinette says. “Sometimes these properties are in custom neighborhoods with environmental considerations. Other times, they are challenging sites on which to build. It’s our job to quantify these characteristics and determine the best approach.” Imbuing each design with his own definition of luxury—“elegance, order and quality that can be seen and felt”— Robinette and his carefully cultivated team strive to excel in a full range of services and help their clients achieve their residential dreams.

SEAVER FRANKS ARCHITECTS

The son of a landscape designer, Michael Franks may well have inherited his talent for practical and intuitive design. After watching and working alongside his father during his youth, he became a student of architecture. It was during this phase of his life that his perspective began to form. “I remember having a passionate professor who inspired me to have an appreciation for the romance and magic in architecture,” Franks says. Not long after graduating, in 1981, Franks went to work for the firm he would eventually lead. Since then, his career has flourished, and the firm has left a rich legacy of successful projects, both residential and commercial. The words of the former clients on these projects are as telling as the visuals. They often comment on the twinkle in the architect’s eye as he explores the opportunities at the onset of a project, and all agree that the firm as a whole brings enthusiasm and optimism to every step of its craft and collaboration. “We are about finding the best design solutions for our client,” Franks says.

“There is an inclination to do what we know is right. A style emerges from an expectation about quality, a solidity with an ease of composition, an emphasis on flow and functionality, and an understanding of materials, both in how they relate to one another and their context.”

Ask the Expert First project that put your company on the map?

Our firm caught its first big break in the early 1980s as a part of the team that master-planned La Paloma. An 800-acre development in Tucson, Arizona, it is anchored by a 400-room Westin hotel and Jack Nicklaus golf course.

What elements characterize your work?

Incorporating honest materials, optimizing the natural setting and arriving at the most thoughtful and visually exciting solutions.

The key to life/work balance is?

For me, it’s knowing when to walk away from your desk. You never really stop working through something in your head, so why not leave the desk behind? Take your idea out into the world and live with it.

A FINER TOUCH CONSTRUCTION When one seeks residential design inspiration online, a builder’s website may not be the first to come to mind. But in the case of A Finer Touch Construction, a reputation for design-forward building and online posting has made the company a social media favorite. Of course, the firm’s completed residences are more than a gorgeous photo. “Our work is characterized by a combination of quality-oriented and cutting-edge techniques, which results in a finished product that exemplifies our company motto: ‘a touch above the competition,’” company president Brad Leavitt says. “We always seek top-quality elements that will stand the test of time in performance, design and usefulness.” Dedication to superior craftsmanship isn’t the only factor that sets AFT apart. Once they’ve finished praising the new home they adore, the firm’s satisfied clients describe a process defined by communication, collaboration and consideration. “We seek to establish long-lasting relationships with our customers by exceeding expectations and gaining trust through unparalleled levels of professionalism, timeliness, attention to detail and service-minded customer satisfaction,” says Leavitt, who oversees each site himself. “We pride ourselves on the friendships we maintain with clients years after their project is completed.” In addition to its award-winning residential work, AFT has begun to delve into the realm of hospitality projects, having just finished building the State 48 Brewery in Downtown Phoenix.

SALCITO CUSTOM HOMES

As the lead designer at design-build firm Salcito Custom Homes, Rebecca Salcito spends her days creating carefully tailored, often award-winning, interior spaces. Having graduated magna cum laude from Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, she’s what one might call ‘classically trained,’ but she also makes it a point to keep up with the industry’s latest techniques and aesthetics. “I am not crazy into social media, but I do spend hours on Pinterest and Instagram,” she shares. “There is so much quality work going on all over the world.” While some of her favorite endeavors are those in which she is able to layer stylish textures over an old-world backdrop, Salcito prides herself on catering to each client. “The only measure of success, for me, is a client who is thrilled with both the process and its results,” she says. “Our philosophy is to provide the highest level of service in everything we do.” In the pursuit of such goals, Salcito and her team only take on the amount of work that can be handled, and she spends ample time perfecting each client’s individual style. “Most people walk in with some idea or another of what they envision,” she says. “I try to bring all of their thoughts together in the most tasteful way. In general, I aim for timeless spaces with a bit of glamour sprinkled in here and there.”

I have always been attracted to European styles, and I take a lot of inspiration from fashion, travel and art.

Describe your creative process and favorite part of it.

As a design firm, we cater to the architecture and style a client prefers, so every project I work on is different from all the others. My favorite part is seeing new products and samples arrive at my office each day. It’s exciting to view all of the latest and greatest things available for each new year, and to think about how I will incorporate them into my designs.

ANGELICA HENRY DESIGN

Timeless and classic, mountain rustic, desert contemporary, transitional or ultramodern—name a style, and Angelica Henry has mastered it. The first major recognition she received was the result of a stunning, two-story closet, but the award-winning designer has since produced a portfolio full of residential masterpieces in every scale and style. Along with her Scottsdalebased team at Angelica Henry Design, she makes it her mission to bring each client’s lifestyle, experience, taste and personality to their home’s look and feel. “It is our goal to use design as a tool to tell the homeowner’s unique story,” Henry says. “As a result, our style is ever-changing, evolving to our clients’ needs.” Enamored by the pursuit of beautiful living spaces, Henry points to the singular moments in the development of a design as her favorite parts of the job. “Any aspect of the process, whether conceptualizing a fireplace, laying out tile or finding that perfect piece of hardware, feeds my creative soul,” she says. Still, there is one occurrence within any project’s journey that signifies the coming of a rewarding result for Henry and her team. “One of the best stages of the process is when I can see the client getting excited about a concept we are presenting,” Henry says. “I know we have listened to their needs and are on the right track toward creating a design that uniquely speaks to them.”

LINDSEY SCHULTZ DESIGN

When Lindsey Schultz began working as an interior designer, founding her own studio was far from her mind. But after becoming a mother, which, in her own words, “really has a way of changing one’s perspective,” she recognized in herself a drive to take things to the next level.

And so, Lindsey Schultz Design came to be. The firm has since become known for close collaboration with its clients and the stunning designs that result. “Each project begins with in-depth conversations with my clients about functional needs and aesthetic desires,” Schultz says. “My creative process is not like a structured playbook. Every design has its own unique dynamic, with varying personalities and professionals involved, as well as different starting points, so the process is based entirely on the individual endeavor.” Chief among her own philosophies is the idea that a residence should be deeply connected to those who dwell within it. “Each human soul is unique, and the home it inhabits should reflect the intricacies that make it so special,” Schultz says. “Tailoring the structures in which we live out our lives to enhance and elevate our personal experiences is the foundation on which we build our designs and our client relations.” Alongside customization and well-edited aesthetics, Schultz points to longevity as an overarching goal. “A successful project is one you can’t time-stamp within a decade or period of design trend,” she says. “It remains relevant years later.”

Ask the Expert What inspires you?

I think it would be easier to tell you what doesn’t inspire me! I can be annoying to watch movies with because I have a tendency to rewind and pause them when something in the background of the set has caught my eye.

Favorite part of your job?

Getting people excited! I hold such a deep passion for what I do, and I love passing that on to others. Little happy dances and high fives are commonplace on my jobsites!

Describe your clientele.

They are typically adventurous and well traveled.

They come to me with design inspirations they have gleaned from their travels. A high percentage of them also have children and pets, so they value my ability to give them a high-style home that can withstand the traffic of family life.

“EACH PERIOD OF CIVILIZATION CREATES AN ART THAT IS SPECIFIC IN IT AND WHICH WE WILL NEVER SEE REBORN,” PAINTER WASSILY KANDINSKY EXPLAINS OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ART MOVEMENT OF THE 20TH CENTURY. BAUHUAS, OR ‘BUILDING HOUSE,’ WAS THE GERMAN SCHOOL FOUNDED IN 1919 BY ARCHITECT WALTER GROPIUS THAT EMPLOYED ARTISTS SUCH AS PAUL KLEE, JOSEF ALBERS, AND KANDINSKY. ITS AIM WAS TO UNIFY ALL ARTS, INCLUDING PAINTING, ARCHITECTURE AND SCULPTURE INTO A SINGLE CRAFT ALLOWING FOR A REIMAGINED MATERIAL WORLD IN WHICH ARTISANS CREATED BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL ITEMS. WHILE ORIGINALLY RADICAL, BAUHAUS DESIGN CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE PRODUCTS CREATED A CENTURY LATER.
