FARM LUXE Gather vintage heirlooms, wooden vessels, handmade ceramic dinnerware, and natural textiles for a polished farm-to-table look as warm as it is welcoming.

STYLE TIPS

The organic texture of nubby linens, striped or fringed for extra detailing, hits all the right rustic notes.

Cambria in a polished or Cambria Matte™ finish brings natural beauty to any space without the maintenance. Explore more designs at CambriaUSA.com.

STYLE TIPS

Cambria® Oakmoor Matte™, with its sweeping wave design evoking wood grain, becomes a durable farmhouse tabletop when crafted into planks.

Contrast creamy white porcelain with wooden serving bowls and chargers for a refined take on country chic. Serve meals family-style, rather than plated, for a relaxed vibe.

EDITOR’S LETTER

I’ve always enjoyed the process of storytelling through visuals and mood boards. Here’s a peek at what’s on my office wall this season.

LITERARY WORK I recently spent time in a home that’s unforgettable.

It told an enchanting story of the woman that lives there: what she collects, where she’s traveled, what she’s reading and who she is. The home’s narrative was entirely original—a reflection of her dreams and desires.

Beyond design and decoration, homes essentially contain and convey our stories. In this special EYE ON DESIGN/GOLD LIST 2018 issue, we salute the many architects, designers, builders and artisans across the country who imaginatively create and contribute chapter and verse. What a beautiful design story, indeed.

memo KATHLEEN MITCHELL PUBLISHER

Happy New Year! I look forward to the new year, as it’s a time for self-improvement and fresh starts, but also a time to reflect over the past year’s growth and accomplishments, as I am always so proud of the support and admiration that I see in the design industry.

The VIP Luxury Gala was a huge success, and leaders in the residential luxury designbuild industry came out to show the solidarity and strength of our design community.

Congratulations to 2017 Merchandise Mart Hall of Fame inductees Jessica Lagrange, Stuart Cohen and Julie Hacker, Alan Lev and David Sutherland! At this year’s Design Chicago summit at The Mart we hosted several events, beginning with Editor in Chief Pamela Jaccarino and Artistic Tile’s Nancy Epstein revealing custom design patterns and inspirations in tile applications. Plus, Luxe Interiors + Design joined Power Construction at Waterworks for a panel on how integrated design and construction technology improve a project’s outcome. Be sure to mark your calendars for the PowerHouse Smart Luxury Conference on February 7 at Pella Crafted Luxury, hosted by Luxe. We are embracing the season with our annual Gold List issue, so snuggle up and enjoy the issue. Cheers!

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR TALENTED CONTRIBUTORS AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

ALICE GAO

Photographer / New York

KAMALA NAIR Writer / London

If you could interview anyone, who would it be?

Emily Brontë—she’s such an enigma. What books have impacted you the most? The great British novels of the 19th century. I love Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and I, obviously, also have a special place in my heart for works by the Brontë sisters. On your interiors wish list: A really ornate antique over-the-mantel mirror, a writing chair that’s beautiful yet comfortable enough to sit in for hours, and a dramatic patterned wallpaper (and the guts to use it).

Is there anything especially inspiring that you feel is happening in design today? The trend toward more sustainable and eco-friendly design. Dream assignment: To push myself to the limits of my fear by diving with great white sharks in South Africa—and then write about it.

LX_COM17_Contributors.indd 106

NATHAN SCHRODER

Photographer / Dallas

Where do your creative inspirations come from? I would say many of my influences come from trips to a museum, flipping through one of my art books or watching a beautifully shot film.

Top three prized possessions: My passport, my collection of art books and my vintage Hasselblad camera. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: My grandfather. He had this amazing ability to captivate you with a story; he could take a mundane normal day and make it sound like a grand adventure. If money were no object, I would buy… Lifetime airline passes, because who wouldn’t want to travel to Paris just for the weekend to see an amazing exhibit at the Louvre or grab dinner in Rome. In what city would your dream shoot take place? Buenos Aires. I think what has always drawn me there has been the South American influence on old-world European architecture. I love the dramatic use of color and texture.

APRIL HARDWICK Writer / New York

Is there a certain type of design that inspires you more than others? I really appreciate items that are handmade with an artisanal touch. Current obsession: Basically anything in the tabletop category, especially earthenware with a reactive-glaze finish. Presuming you had $20,000 to blow, what would you splurge on? I would renovate our guesthouse on Shelter Island, or build an exquisite treehouse for my daughters and then outfit it with happiness. Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? Martha Stewart; she’s super savvy and an incredibly professional woman. Best advice you’ve ever received: Go after what you want but always be kind in the process.

If not a writer, I’d be… A news reporter or textile designer—or maybe even both!

gao headshot: courtesy alice gao. vignette photo: nathan schroder. schroder headshot: courtesy nathan schroder. hardwick headshot: courtesy april hardwick. nair headshot: angie dykshorn.

Whose work are you influenced by? I adore designer Anna Karlin’s work; both her lighting and her design and art direction are amazing. Ideal assignment: This is a tough one to answer since I have a passion for so many subjects! I would love, though, if a client hired me to shoot a travel story solely with a Rangefinder 6-by-7 film camera. Any takers?

Wish list obsessions: A few things that come to mind are Karl Zahn’s Cora pendant light, a Poul Kjærholm honed-marble coffee table and a vintage Jean Prouvé Standard chair. Favorite book on your nightstand: Ellsworth Kelly: Plant Drawings. What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self? Take more Chinese language classes in college and be diligent about studying it. Words of wisdom: Don’t define yourself by what you consume but instead by what you create.

RADAR / NEW GUARD ECHE MARTINEZ ⊲

ASHLEY WADDELL AND COURTNEY WHATLEY ▼

San Francisco | echemartinez.com

Vero Beach, FL | oliviaobryan.com

WHY WE LOVE HIM: Argentinian-born designer Eche Martinez’s masculine, dramatic interiors showcase a global perspective while nodding to the diverse and rich culture of the Bay Area. He believes in using shape and color to drive design, instead of dipping into what he calls the “pattern pool,” and cites David Hicks, Jean Louis Deniot and Zaha Hadid as major influences.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: Sister-act Ashley “Olivia” Waddell and Courtney “O’Bryan” Whatley teamed up to form the design firm Olivia O’Bryan in 2005 and have since perfected their signature coastal-cool look. Their homes are full of visual surprises—with neutral palettes that pop when punctuated by vibrant soft goods.

ON THE HORIZON: The duo is excited to be working with architects Moor, Baker & Associates on a creative, understated interior in the exclusive luxury enclave of Windsor, Florida. Plus, they’ve got a residential project in the works on nearby Jupiter Island, which will showcase a more tropical vibe.

ON THE HORIZON: Martinez is literally setting sail with a new design–a private unit aboard MS The World, a luxury condominium at sea. The ship travels the globe, changing routes every year, so Martinez’s designs could be in Alaska for the summer and in Sydney for New Year’s Eve. IN HIS WORDS: “For me, new apps and websites are key to spotting the genesis of trends and color palettes.

Using graphic black and white, ‘millennial pink’ and ombre effects as visual backdrops are all things I noticed online years before they started making a splash in our industry.”

⊳ CHARLOTTE LUCAS

Charlotte, NC | charlottelucasdesign.com WHY WE LOVE HER: A devoted fan of graphic wall treatments, Charlotte Lucas is a master of feminine-glam style that runs the gamut from traditional to mod. No wonder she cites such “fearless” female designers as Sister Parish, Madeleine Castaing and Dorothy Draper as muses.

ON THE HORIZON: Lucas is looking forward to introducing new fabric and wallpaper lines through House of Harris, the recently launched coverings company she cofounded with her sister, Liz Harris Carroll. Offerings will be available through Travis and Company in Atlanta and Supply in Austin. And more is to come—this year Lucas will be consumed with exciting coastal projects in South Carolina.

MARGARET NAEVE ▲

Houston | mnaeve.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Mixing muted palettes with unexpected large-scale contemporary art, Margaret Naeve strikes a sophisticated balance between soft and edgy. Inspired by her travels, Naeve is currently obsessing over early-20thcentury French and Scandinavian furniture and believes in a curated, collected home.

ON THE HORIZON: The designer continues to introduce cutting-edge brands, such as Apparatus, Martyn Thompson Studio and Egg Collective, to her shop M Naeve, and subsequently to the Texas design market. Up next, she has a new project in the works on Houston’s much-sought-after North Boulevard.

IN HER WORDS: “I look at selecting items for clients as a global shopping experience.

I’m not a go-by-the-rules type of designer; I’m more intrigued by creating a ‘feeling.’ ”

LX_COM17_Radar_NewGuard.indd 114

IN HER WORDS: “If I could wallpaper every room in a client’s house I would! I never tire of pattern. The more the merrier for me.”

⊳ MEGAN MOORE Denver | dado.design

WHY WE LOVE HER: Employing monotone palettes and a Zen-like restraint, designer Megan Moore takes a refreshingly minimalist approach to interiors. Her thoughtful spaces favor clean lines, calming neutrals and natural, tactile materials.

ON THE HORIZON: Moore is looking beyond the Denver residential scene this year with interior projects in Manhattan and Seattle in the works, giving her a new bicoastal perspective that informs her evolving aesthetic.

IN HER WORDS: “Style as it relates to any specific design period doesn’t really interest me. Instead, the things people want to surround themselves with are interesting to me. I think about how people will feel in the space and how our interior environments impact us on a daily basis.”

martinez photo: christopher stark photography. waddell and whatley photo: jessica glynn photography. lucas photo: chris edwards. moore photo: jc buck photography. naeve photo: max burkhalter.

IN THEIR WORDS: “We love our projects to feel lived-in and collected so that the clients can experience an immediate connection to the home.”

RADAR / NEW GUARD ⊳ UMA STEWART

South Orange, NJ | umastewart.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Utilizing natural light, layered neutrals and rich jewel tones, Uma Stewart designs boho-luxe interiors for the worldly, modern family that are meant to be lived-in.

ON THE HORIZON: This year, Stewart will introduce a new collection to her eponymous textile line that is rooted in vintage Indian pieces sourced from her travels. She’ll take this blending of cultures one step further, too, bringing French and Indian style to two grand Victorian homes in progress.

IN HER WORDS: “My design perspective is based in a well-read, well-traveled point of view, punctuated with counterintuitive touches such as original art or vintage pieces.”

MEGAN PAPWORTH AND DAWN TERRY Scottsdale, AZ, and Temecula, CA | einteriors.design

WHY WE LOVE THEM: Daughter Megan Papworth calls Southern California home, sourcing unique items from local makers, while mother Dawn Terry holds down their Arizona roots.

ON THE HORIZON: The mother-daughter team are working on a complete renovation of a 14,000-square-foot, Tuscan-style home in Scottsdale.

ELIZABETH KRUEGER ⊲

IN THEIR WORDS: “Thanks to social media and networking, we’ve been able to grow the business. We are constantly inspired by the people around us.”

Chicago | elizabethkruegerdesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Elizabeth Krueger is a decorating daredevil who has been known to wallpaper a ceiling with dramatic patterns. It’s those innovative moves with prints, color and texture that define her spaces and create environments that reflect both her aesthetic and the client.

ON THE HORIZON: Krueger is a longtime fan of Michael Abraham Architecture and recently signed on to design a dream project with the firm: residential, new construction in the historic suburb of Riverside, a tony area in Chicago.

IN HER WORDS: “My best work happens when I’m not forcing myself to be creative. That’s when I feel the ideas come out of the corners of my mind.”

⊳ JASON DALLAS

WHY WE LOVE HIM: A visual storyteller, Jason Dallas utilizes the Pacific Northwest’s natural surroundings to inform his environmentally aware interiors. Don’t mistake him for just another flower child of the west, though. Although he was raised by creatives—his father once converted a school bus into a mobile home!—he actually pursued a technical degree in architecture.

⊳ KAREN AND GUY VIDAL

Los Angeles | vidaldesigncollaborative.com WHY WE LOVE THEM: Karen and Guy Vidal’s spaces are as sunny as the Southern California landscape they reflect. The design couple’s imaginative use of colorful tile and pattern mixing has become their signature.

ON THE HORIZON: Previously known as Design Vidal, the firm is rebranding as the Vidal Design Collaborative this year to reflect the creative team at the growing studio.

IN THEIR WORDS: “Our fearlessness has allowed us to push ourselves beyond our boundaries and be unfettered by rules.”

LX_COM17_Radar_NewGuard.indd 116

ON THE HORIZON: This year, Dallas is working on a brick-and-mortar retail component to his brand and is excited to showcase a 19th-century Victorian home and a houseboat renovation, as well as several multifamily commercial projects.

IN HIS WORDS: “Each design tells a story, from the colors on the wall to the collectibles on the shelf. Mixing an individual’s existing possessions with new ‘on-trend’ colors and elements can completely update and modernize any space.”

DESIGNING WOMAN ATLANTA-BASED INTERIOR DESIGNER, AUTHOR AND LIFESTYLE EXPERT DANIELLE ROLLINS JOINS FORCES WITH FABRIC BRAND BRUNSCHWIG & FILS FOR A MUST-WEAR CAPSULE COLLECTION. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID CHRISTENSEN

Whether she’s sipping a French 75 at a lawn party or playing fetch with her dog, designer Danielle Rollins cuts an elegant figure, thanks in part to the retro-chic silhouettes she favors.

Now, Rollins is merging her passion for fashion with her fondness for classic fabrics in a new collaboration with Brunschwig & Fils. Here, Luxe catches up with the creative multitasker.

How did the collaboration come about?

I’ve always loved companies that preserve craftsmanship and tradition, and Kravet, who owns Brunschwig & Fils, does that, which is why I’ve always had an affinity for the brand.

I debuted a collection of clothing made out of Liberty of London prints in 2017. So, when a regional Brunschwig & Fils showroom approached me about doing a pop-up shop, I knew I wanted to use some of their iconic fabrics, such as Le Zebre, to illustrate my love of interiors and fashion. Your pieces are named after legendary designers and hostesses, such

LX_COM17_Radar_Collaboration.indd 118

as Dorothy Draper and Lilly Pulitzer. What is it about these grand dames that continues to inspire? Each of them had such a strong sense of identity in the way they lived and the way they dressed. One of the hardest things is to remain true to yourself when everything in the media is telling you to change. I like that each of these women had an inner style compass.

Describe the collection. We made three jackets and two different clutches in the Le Zebre and the Verel de Belval prints. The insides of the jackets are lined with Liberty of London fabric for a quirky, custom touch. Next, we’re doing

caftans for summer. Personally, it’s what I want to wear in the Atlanta heat. So, then, do you tend to design with yourself in mind? Absolutely. I’m always searching for those elusive staples that are missing from my closet. How many times do you find an item of clothing you love, then the designer pivots creatively, and you can’t find it anymore? I was looking for a more masculine approach to dressing. Men have it so easy— they find a pant they like and it’s there every single season. The pieces in this collection are meant to be flattering and kept in your wardrobe season after season.

BUTTERFLY EFFECT MERGING A MAKER AESTHETIC WITH THE LATEST TECH, DESIGNER DAVID NOSANCHUK’S CONCEPTUAL LIGHTING IS POISED TO TAKE FLIGHT. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID CLEVELAND

Illuminating ideas as well as rooms, today’s lighting designers aren’t just making fixtures—they’re creating high art that tells a story. For his Butterfly Asteroid series of one-of-a-kind lights, New Yorkbased multidisciplinary designer David Nosanchuk embraces a unique hybrid of digital technology and handcrafted methods to weave an intriguing tale about the ever-changing natural world.

“Currently, I think people are more interested in narratives than process,” the designer says. “They want to pause and ponder a relationship they may not have considered, like how a butterfly and an asteroid could possibly be related.” While it’s true that, on the surface, the winged insects have little in common with the extraterrestrial rocks, they do have one similarity, according to Nosanchuk: “Both have flight patterns that are the result of metamorphosis.”

The series began when Nosanchuk was asked to design a piece about woodworking in the digital age for The Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia in 2016. “I had done a lot of traditional woodworking, and I became interested in the idea of using technology to make a sculptural light,” he says. Made from quarter-sawn steamed beech veneer, the butterfly wings are laser-engraved on both sides, resulting in a tissue-thin, translucent appearance, while their bodies are cast from solid bronze, lending heft to the delicate wings. The asteroid was modeled after a real one and built to scale using hand-applied fiberglass, giving it an opaque glow and a dreamy moon-like quality.

One of the Butterfly Asteroid table lamps by designer David Nosanchuk (left) emits a soft, diffused glow. Shown opposite is a detail of the fixture.

It’s no wonder the light caught the discriminating eye of renowned Milan-based gallerist and tastemaker Rossana Orlandi, who asked Nosanchuk to create three additional fixtures, which are variations on the same theme, for her exhibition at PAD London. “One day in July, David arrived at my office without an appointment,” recounts Orlandi. “It was a lucky meeting: He showed me one butterfly, and it was amazing. Then, he told me the concept, and I thought, ‘why not!’ ”

That positive reaction seems to be spreading to these shores: Nosanchuk recently displayed another set of unique Butterfly Asteroid pieces with Hostler Burrows at Design Miami and is set to show at FOG Design+Art in San Francisco and TEFAF New York in May. For his part, the designer is grateful for the acknowledgment but not necessarily surprised. “I think people can find beauty in the story I’m telling because it’s not overly intellectual or alienating as a piece of art,” he says. “It has universal appeal.” luxesource.com / 121

THE HUNT LOOKING AHEAD, WE TURN TO THREE LOCAL GALLERISTS TO FIND OUT THEIR PREDICTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COLLECTING ART IN THE NEW YEAR.

CLASSIC MOD SHANE CAMPBELL Shane Campbell Gallery Looking ahead: I predict 2018 will be about non-object-oriented (sound art, video, performance) collecting and art that is a representation of the custom consumer experience catered to the individual. Loving right now: There’s a collection of artists who continually disrupt my expectations about what constitutes art in the 21st century; a modern collector should grow accustomed to the works of Haegue Yang, Ed Atkins, Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe, Darren Bader, Ei Arakawa and Hito Steyerl. Trend that should stay in 2017? All trends.

DAN DEVENING Devening Projects Looking ahead: I’m seeing a shift toward eccentric figuration, neosurrealism, and obsessive and fussy representation. Locally, this might be influenced by the Chicago Imagists like Jim Nutt, Ed Paschke and Gladys Nilsson. Loving right now: Alice Tippit (Dolly shown, top right), Orion Martin, Magalie Guérin, Lui Shtini, Emily Mae Smith, Elijah Burgher and Peter 124 / luxesource.com

LX_CH46_Scene.indd 124

Fagundo (Lost in Sight shown, top left). All of them work with fantastical imagery, particularized narratives and a precise visual language. New discovery: I’m very excited about the work of Sean Sullivan, a young artist from upstate New York I discovered on Instagram in 2015. He’s been developing a unique system of making drawings using a transfer process with oil pigments and vintage papers.

RHONA HOFFMAN Rhona Hoffman Gallery Looking ahead: I believe collectors will be looking more at female artists past and present. There are many articles about the fact that works by women artists have not been collected as much as those by men. Dia Art Foundation in New York, for instance, is buying a large group of pieces by women from the 1970s to today. New discovery: The minute I laid eyes on the work of Nathaniel Mary Quinn, I offered him an exhibition on the spot. I have never done that before with an artist and probably won’t ever again. It is truly exciting.

Trend that should stay in 2017? I hope exaggerated prices for art ceases.

You can thank a quarter-life crisis for bringing Dial M for Modern to a storefront in Wicker Park. About three years ago, founder Timothy Burkhart had hit a low point. “I was just burnt out on life in general, and it was affecting my mood toward Chicago,” he recalls. “My girlfriend and I were going to move away, but I wanted to try and open a shop first; there was no reason why I couldn’t make it work.” So, in 2015, he morphed the blog he used to sell vintage-modern pieces into a brick-and-mortar location stocked with items like Brian Kane armchairs, a Torbjørn Afdal cart and a Patrician Furniture couch. His favorite part of owning Dial M for Modern, Burkhart says, is the sourcing. “I’m usually driving around the Midwest, hitting resale and consignment shops, flea markets and other dealers’ collections,” he says. “If something is in my shop, it’s there because I picked it for a reason. I keep the space curated in that sense, and I just hope my tastes are in line with a few others’.” dialmformodern.com

INSIDE EDITION LUXE TAPPED TALENTED LOCAL DESIGNERS FOR THEIR THOUGHTS ON ONE OF THE SEASON’S MOST POPULAR CONCEPTS: HYGGE.

“To accomplish hygge, declutter your space and then layer in casual fabrics with different elements—such as tile, wallcoverings or rugs and organic-looking furniture or accessories—for texture. Or mix in petrified wood, branches, coral or agates. Use candles and lots of ambient lighting, and focus on deep, saturated jewel-toned paint or paper to help your visitors feel totally enveloped in the space.”

“I officially heard of hygge in 2016. However, I first became familiar with the concept 20 years ago, when we had au pairs from Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden who lived with us when my children were little and used the term.

Our au pairs likened hygge to that magical Christmas spirit when your wishes come true—but 365 days a year.”

“In my home, a British Colonial daybed covered in striped linen with pillows scattered across the back and a luscious throw over the arm represents hygge. It’s a favorite piece in my family.

It simply says, ‘Come have a seat, rearrange the pillows, put up your feet, have a chat, read a book, snuggle with the dog or take a nap. Enjoy.’ ”

For local hygge shopping, Peachtree Place in Northfield is my go-to store for cashmere throws, candles and bath salts.

At Material Possessions in Winnetka, I love the handcrafted tableware mugs for hot spiced cider.

And at Bedside Manor, also in Winnetka, it’s all about soft down comforters, pillows and high-threadcount sheeting.

“Hygge isn’t just a word; it’s also an attitude that embodies a cozy lifestyle.

Many of the elements of hygge were already part of my typical designs, but hygge takes it a bit farther into how you experience and appreciate your surroundings. It is more than just adding a snuggly throw but rather indulging in and embracing all of your senses.”

BLUEPRINT

DAVID M. RUBENSTEIN FORUM What better place for cerebral stimulation on a college campus than in a building-block-style zinc-and-glass structure designed by a leading architecture firm? Slated to open in November 2019, the University of Chicago’s David M. Rubenstein Forum will house multipurpose event spaces and a restaurant on the Midway Plaisance. The 166-foot-tall, slender tower will be “composed of a series of vertical ‘neighborhoods’ that pair meeting rooms with informal shared social spaces,” describes project director Sean Gallagher of Diller Scofidio + Renfro in New York. “Each neighborhood has its own unique perspective of the surrounding community, resulting in a tower with no ‘front’ or ‘back.’ ” dsrny.com

It was time for a change at the Chicago Architecture Foundation.

“Chicagoans and visitors to the city have embraced CAF programs [to the extent that] we’ve outgrown our current space,” says Lynn Osmond, the organization’s president and CEO. This summer, the nonprofit that celebrates the Windy City’s architectural history will relocate from the Daniel Burnham-designed Railway Exchange Building to another significant structure: One Illinois Center. “Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the master of midcentury modernism, designed the site plan where 111 East Wacker stands,” Osmond notes. CAF’s new home, to be renamed the Chicago Architecture Center, marks not just a move but also an expansion of the group’s offerings, including a lecture hall “where Chicagoans can discuss issues ranging from lakefront development to megaprojects to civic engagement,” Osmond says. architecture.org

FOR DECOR LOVERS, THE SETTING OF A RESTAURANT CAN BE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ITS MENU. LUCKILY FOR CHICAGOANS, THE WINDY CITY HAS ITS FAIR SHARE OF DESIGN STANDOUTS IN THE DINING SCENE. CONSIDER MAKING A RESERVATION AT THESE MEMORABLE ESTABLISHMENTS.

▲ PROXI When converting the Werner Printing building this summer into American brasserie Proxi, designers Will Meyer and Gray Davis of New York-based Meyer Davis wanted to embrace the original architecture.

“Barrel-vaulted ceilings are uplit and existing columns are clad in soldier-stacked blue tile, with blackenedsteel strapping details, inset-tinted mirror and brass detailing,” Meyer says. “The picturesque bar boasts a statuary-stone top and a leather-quilted upholstery front, while a wood-and-brass-detailed back bar has elegant pendant lighting and floors laid with bright blue cement tiles in a custom pattern.” The main dining room is anchored by a long central leather banquette, dimly lit by low-slung warehouse pendants strung from the lofty ceiling. proxichicago.com

⊳ SOMERSET

STEADFAST ⊲

When they were tasked with outfitting Steadfast, the recently opened restaurant in the Kimpton Gray Hotel, Andrew Cohen and Jeremy Levitt—the cofounders of New York’s Parts and Labor Design— brought the fresh perspective for which they’re known. The moody palette of the historic space, built in 1894 by Chicago architect William Le Baron Jenney, represents the building’s classical revival architecture but introduces an air of sophistication.

“This is seen through bespoke furniture with dark plush accents and sleek marble, rich woods, polished lacquers and gold accents,” Cohen says.

“The richness of the space comes through in the layering of materials, both in varying textures and in the color palette.” steadfastchicago.com

▲ MARISOL Naturally, notable artworks are on display everywhere at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago—even in the institution’s on-site restaurant. The centerpiece of Marisol, which opened in September and was designed

by Los Angeles architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee, is a mural by Turner Prize-winning British artist Chris Ofili—his only permanent commission in the United States. “It depicts a sorceress sitting in a cave-life form,” explains the museum’s Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn. “The shape of the cave mimics a rock formation on the edge of the water in Trinidad, where Chris regularly hikes as a way to clear his mind.

On top of the cave, three fantastic creatures are overlaid on top of a beast.” The mural, she adds, is the foundation for other design decisions in the space, including the gem-toned seating options. marisolchicago.com

New York-based AvroKO reinterpreted the classic country club for its interior design of Somerset, which opened in September. “Undulating texturedglass screens behind the main bar subtly recall canvas sails; banquettes are adorned in jade upholstery and white piping, reminiscent of vintage tennis fashion; and warm wooden finishes coupled with plush, lavish furniture evoke the feeling of luxurious club lounges,” describes principal designer Adam Farmerie. “The blues and greens relate directly to the natural environments of the marina and lawn clubs we were referencing, using deeper hues to oversaturate the environment with tongue-in-cheek richness.” somersetchicago.com

GOLDEN ERA GETAWAY Kati Curtis

I love imagining Humphrey Bogart lounging with his cigar in this room.

But I can also see someone using it today.

Casablanca The Golden Era was a time when the handcrafted blended with the modern. Moroccan culture is also focused on craft and doing things in a time-honored way, but at the same time adapting that into modern life. That’s why I based my room upon a hammam, an ancient bathing tradition that continues to this day.

Designing a room inspired by Casablanca has the potential of being busy and overwhelming. But my goal was to create a truly serene space. I kept the color palette fairly muted and selected faucets from the Keefe® Collection in a matte black finish.

There’s an inherent beauty in the faucets themselves—solid and architectural.

They really pop against the tile.

Texas artist Jerry Cabrera’s vibrant, thought-provoking works are a celebration of light, color and motion, as seen here in Fluttering Cape, one in a series of Cape Paintings, which removes the figures out of bullfighting scenes to instead focus on the natural, graceful movements of the capes themselves. Absent in his work, therefore, is any reference to the violent aspect of the sport; instead, he uses bold, bright colors to illuminate an otherwise overlooked component of the spectacle. With Cabrera’s energetic spirit in mind, we present an assortment of dynamic items certain to inject a lively punch into the home. 1stdibs.com

For Portland, Oregon-based artist Lisa Golightly, painting is a method of storytelling, and high-gloss enamel is the vehicle through which she creates her calm yet captivating narratives that invite viewers into the intimate moments portrayed in her work. Using found photographs as inspiration for her paintings, Golightly depicts casual social interactions and scenes that she can relate to personally, even though she doesn’t quite know the figures pictured. Shown is her work Picnic in Tall Grass, which inspires us to imagine a casual outing amongst friends who were caught unaware in a moment of repose. lisagolightlyart.com

Kelly Beeman is no ordinary fashion illustrator—her abstract portraits nod toward those of Picasso while pushing the boundaries of traditional feminine forms.

For this particular work, commissioned for designer Jonathan Anderson’s fashion label, JW Anderson, Beeman played with shapes and silhouettes that explore the body in a more androgynous—and lessexposed—way. With its monochromatic palette and avant-garde silhouettes, Beeman’s painting offered the perfect muse for this curation of edgy items featuring linear lines and contrasting materials portrayed in black and white. kellybeeman.com

Sun, sand, water and nature influence South African artist Kirsten Beets’ work. In Staring at the Sun (shown), Beets takes her interest in examining the way people interact with the great outdoors to all new heights, literally.

Rendering it from a sweeping overhead vantage point, the artist brings a day at the beach to life with oil paint on paper—capturing nostalgia-rich details and colors that make the piece feel less like art and more like a beautiful memory. Her sun-kissed depiction of leisure influenced our selection of dreamlike pieces here. kirstenbeets.com

LACANTINA DOORS Innovating … Expanding … Transforming

Opening spaces, changing perspectives, engaging the outdoors—no architectural element has such a profound impact on how homeowners live and 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 that combine vast glass panels with state-of-the-art hardware. “We create innovative open space products that allow us to take advantage of new technologies,” vice president and general manager Lee Maughan says.

WITH INNOVATIVE DESIGN AS A COMMON THREAD, THESE STRIKING SEATING SELECTIONS ARE HARDLY THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

SEAT

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE GAO

BENJAMIN VANDIVER BENJAMINVANDIVER.COM

Sawkille Co. marries… Traditional ideas with modern lines to synergistically create compelling furniture that is always thoughtful and subtly commanding. This particular bench reminds me… Of every country home that I’ve ever dreamt up, and although I have never envisioned a piece quite like this, it immediately holds sentimental value. Seating is the genesis of any design: It assigns the purpose of the room. I tend to look for classic pieces that also have a bit of sculptural appeal, such as this one. Luxury is… Not having to play all of your cards at once, and this bench has that inherent ease. The walnut used is sturdy, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Even in its raw state, walnut is superior to other woods due to its grain and character, but the ebonized finish here adds a crispness to the overall design that elevates the work even further.

LINE UP THE PIECE: The Pench THE DESIGNER: Sawkille Co. FIND IT: sawkille.com

THE INSPIRATION: Handcrafted in New York’s Hudson Valley, The Pench came about through both humor and observation when two of its Rhinebeck-based design atelier’s traditional pieces merged into one—resulting in The Pench becoming its own functional and sculptural object. Substantial, timeless and fresh, this original design delivers a big dose of style and remarkable versatility.

PARTNERS IN CRIME THE PIECES: Vik Chairs THE DESIGNER: Stewart-Schafer FIND THEM: stewart-schafer.com THE INSPIRATION: Three trips to Iceland served as both the source and the impetus for the Vik chairs, the latest creation from multidisciplinary design firm Stewart-Schafer. The company’s principals, Christine Stucker and James Veal, had a midcentury shape in mind for the chairs, which were handmade in Brooklyn, New York, and they cleverly infused them with a very forward and funky approach that merges old and new.

LX_COM17_Market_Spotlight.indd 160

JESSICA HELGERSON JHINTERIORDESIGN.COM

Conceptualized and styled… Is the immediate vibe I get when considering Stewart-Schafer’s work. I could see them adding set design to their list of accomplishments, as there is an avant-garde quality even in their simplest pieces. When our team is looking for seating… We look for beautiful lines that speak to us. This chair, in particular, feels like a “boudoir” bedroom kind of chair; though, I could also imagine it in a modern desert house looking out at a spectacular view through a giant window. The Vik chairs… Also feel very 1960s to me, like a rock star with giant glasses and bell-bottomed jeans would definitely own this design. For me, it’s all about… The juxtaposition of objects, so that each one gets a chance to either shine or support the others, like a beautifully patinated wood table against a sleek simple sofa, or, in this case, a design made from a sleek, single curve of steel melded with fluffy, organic fur. The balance just works.

11/21/17 1:40 PM

LOW DOWN THE PIECE: Chloé Stool THE DESIGNER: Ave Home FIND IT: avehome.com THE INSPIRATION: Embracing the less-is-more concept of design, Ave Home fashioned the Chloé stool, a homage to the uncomplicated yet chic style of French fashion. The subtle stitching on the supple leather seat breathes an understated elegance while the fluid shape of the base is inspired by neoclassical design, a marriage that has become a signature of the New Orleans-based furniture house.

WESLEY MOON WESLEYMOON.COM

It’s clear that Ave Home… Is very much inspired by their hometown of New Orleans, considering the brand’s French influence and melodious mix of old-world-meets-trendy styles. For me, a statement piece… Doesn’t have to be a big gesture. I’m not drawn to objects that beg for attention, but rather designs that are well-crafted with graceful details that reveal themselves slowly over time—ones that speak of quality or provenance. Quiet elegance and carefully edited components, like the thoughtful stitching on Chloé’s leather sling seat, go much further for me. The shadowing and light… Shone here on the Chloé stool accentuate its sexy curves and stunning detailing. It brings out the beautiful caramel color of the leather and showcases the ballet slipper-inspired, gold-leaf ornament where the arches of the base meet. Luxury is the trifecta of… Quality, hand and function. It occurs when an everyday object becomes elevated through its finishes and design elements.

CHECK MATE THE PIECES: Brice and Alban Barstools THE DESIGNER: Jayson Home FIND THEM: jaysonhome.com THE INSPIRATION: Hand-carved, highly grained and full of character, the Alban (center) and Brice barstools are statement-making both alone or as a group, braiding modernity with warmth—a Jayson Home trademark.

NATALIE MYERS VENEERDESIGNS.COM

Luxury today is more… About seeking out a select collection of carefully sourced, thoughtfully crafted, holistically designed items that imbue your home with meaning. Jayson Home… Is a go-to destination when I’m looking to add a layer of richness to complete a space.

There is a sense of worldliness to the materials and colors they choose for their seemingly familiar forms. I can always count on them to source original, timeless and tasteful items. As stand-alone pieces… One would never guess that these are barstools. I like the psychological tension created by the user wanting to sit on them while also feeling that they are something elevated, not meant to be sat on—that rarely happens in the world of interiors. Modern sculptures… Or even a simplified totem pole is what these designs are reminiscent of— a relic filtered through the lens of Nordic minimal sensibilities. They feel handmade by a sculptor with the utmost control and restraint of ornamentation.

Minotti is absolutely synonymous… With luxury Italian design. Their whole line is impeccably designed and crafted with the greatest attention to style, comfort, detail and quality. Rodolfo Dordoni’s partnership with Minotti has been incredibly successful, adding a very signature modernity to the line. I’m obsessed with seating… And I like every room to have a standout chair, be it new or vintage. An amazing chair can bring a room to life, whether it’s a statement piece that takes its place as an architectural moment of beauty or one of great comfort that alludes to cozy private reading moments. The Halley chair… Transports me to sitting on an expansive veranda in South America, caipirinha in hand. The design is at once commanding yet understated, sharp yet casual. Low-key luxury… Is the new definition of elegance.

LX_COM17_Market_Spotlight.indd 163

LAWS OF LEISURE THE PIECE: Halley “Outdoor” Chair THE DESIGNER: Rodolfo Dordoni for Minotti FIND IT: minotti-la.com THE INSPIRATION: Minotti designer Rodolfo Dordoni took cues from the sinuous attitude of design that was so artfully expressed in the 1970s when concepting the Halley chair. Its organic shape was contrived with the intent of enjoying life equally indoors or en plein air, encouraging sociability and inviting relaxation in a way that only Italian furniture can do.

FREE AGENT THE PIECE: Rocking Horse THE DESIGNER: Iota FIND IT: iotaproject.com THE INSPIRATION: Armed with a powerful social mission, bespoke materials and an eye for edgy design, Iota gives a whole new—and stylish—life to the art of hand-stitching, a technique employed in all of their handmade objects. The Rocking Horse, for example, features a yarn “saddle” and is bound to incite a certain playfulness appropriate for modern and fanciful spaces alike.

RYAN BROWN

BROWNDESIGNINC.COM

Iota… Designs and produces incredibly special pieces. Every work is a collaborative effort involving designers, craftspeople and manufacturers. They also train and employ women in communities with high rates of unemployment all while making storied, striking designs—a win-win situation. I often aim for…

A style that is both refined and laid-back at the same time, not unlike Iota’s aesthetic and unique approach. Understated… Is the new sophisticated. Even though it’s simplistic… The Rocking Horse stool looks and feel substantial; the chunky braids and knits, in juxtaposition with the delicate tassels, emit the ultimate look of luxury. This piece adds a fun expression of artistic license to the mix. Hand-knitted yarn… Is the focus with all Iota furniture, as demonstrated here on the bench seat. The material, along with the function of this design, appeals as much to adults as it does to children by evoking a certain childhood nostalgia. The silky, black tassels add an extra bit of whimsy.

With so many stunning surfaces, patterns and finishing touches available for the kitchen and bath, creating a cohesive materials palette can take you on an exciting journey of discovery in the home. But how to mix and match the evergrowing range of options to harmonious effect?

For this story, we’ve curated some exceptional examples of kitchens and baths that rely on unexpected material combinations for drama and interest. The kitchen shown here, for example, juxtaposes polished and matte textures in a seamless composition made to cater to the needs of a large family. Our roundup of bathrooms on the proceeding pages, too, provides picture-perfect inspiration on how to fuse rustic and industrial, farmhouse and modern styles.

KITCHEN FUSION

STEVEN COOPER Just as the right combination of flavors can set apart one’s cuisine, an aesthetic blend of materials can do the same in a kitchen build or remodel. With that in mind, we tapped the expertise of Cooper Pacific Kitchens’ Steven Cooper, whose attention to detail helps him create luxury kitchens that are worthy of being the home’s main course. Read below as he discusses his strategy for crafting this efficient-yet-beautiful kitchen designed in collaboration with interior designer Pauline Moghavem. cooperpacific.com What was your main goal for this space?

To create a handsome, functional kitchen for a large family with many areas for prep, serving and seating at a secondary island. We also wanted to incorporate an interesting mix of materials that worked with Pauline’s strong design sensibility throughout the home.

A La Cornue range sets the tone for layering in elements such as antique blackened steel on the custom range hood and Opal White natural quartzite on the backsplash and perimeter countertops.

How do you select finishes and fixtures?

We love drama! It’s important to consider, though, how each material will perform around the elements it will certainly encounter, including water, oil, light, heat and fingerprints. For instance, a sink area will be heavily exposed to water, so that would mean a porous material might not be the best option for that space.

photo: meghan beierle-o’brien.

Tell us about your approach to using an array of materials. Really, we look for ways to establish a consistent thread between the materials running throughout the space. The conversation between polished and matte textures should have purpose in its intention. Committing to bringing that story throughout the entire space, to balancing each element’s importance, is what makes a mix of styles successful.

THE WOOD ACTS AS A NICE SPLASH GUARD, TOO, AS IT IS A LOT MORE DURABLE THAN PAINT.” “THIS BATHROOM NEEDED TO BE CHIC, MASCULINE AND DURABLE.

an inviting SPACE

For this Lincoln Park apartment, designer Jessica Lagrange created a cozy feeling with strategically placed furniture and a palette of beiges, burnished golds, creamy whites and hints of blue. Here, she shares her tips for designing a setting that draws people in. jessicalagrange.com Consider the floor plan. The space should be both easy to access and effective. For this project, this area is the first thing people see when they enter the living room, so it had to be welcoming.

Brighten the setting with layers of color and texture.

The beige and gold tones in the room, accented with a gleaming table topped with burnished accessories, add warmth to this space year-round.

What is an oft-overlooked element that really matters for a well-designed space?

The dimmer switch. It drives me crazy when people entertain and the lighting is on full-blast. Top design trend you’re loving right now: The use of bold, dramatic color. Color makes me happy, and I truly can’t get enough of it lately— especially in Chicago, when half of the year it is dreary and gray outside! jamesthomaschicago.com

Favorite color to use in a high-impact living area: I love Ralph Lauren’s RLUL230 Galvanized. It is clean, rich and deeply pigmented. What is an oft-overlooked element to which people should really devote some attention?

A room without accessories, regardless of style, is unfinished. Even modern, clean-lined spaces with a minimalist aesthetic require just the right finishing touches. meganwinters.com

How important are antiques?

Mixing old and new is one of my favorite things. The best part about antiques is they’re one-of-a-kind, so no one else will have them. You don’t even necessarily need to splurge to achieve a setting infused with rich history.

Top design trend you’re loving right now: Clients are building homes to embrace every room within the house.

Formality is giving way to practicality for everyday living. studiogild.com

Splurge-worthy item: I would rather spend money on fabric than anything else.

You can make any ivory sofa look like a million dollars with great-looking fabrics on the pillows, the draperies and the occasional chairs.

What is an oft-overlooked element that really matters for a well-designed space?

Lampshades. I like mine to make a statement, so I always custom-design them.

It makes such a difference. evaquateman.com

Most important item to spend money on: Original modern art always takes a space to that next level. A room could have very expensive furniture, but cheap art makes it look cheap. Antiques are also important. They add character. Favorite new trend: People are really embracing using the color blue. Mixing it in a monochromatic beige or gray palette works beautifully. joeyleicht.com

When designer Rebekah Zaveloff was tasked with the renovation of a Victorian row house in Chicago, she embraced the darkness of the study and used Benjamin Moore’s Midsummer Night on the walls. “I wanted a cozy men’s club feel,” says Zaveloff, who complemented the palette with a light-colored rug and artwork in brass frames. Going dark is not risky, she explains, so long as the design concept is fully embraced. “Don’t wimp out,” she advises. “If you want the look, you’ve got to go the whole way. People tend to tone down their choice, and then they’re not happy with the result.” kitchenlabdesign.com

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

When an architect and a designer join forces on a project, it is necessary for them to work well together, playing off each other’s ideas to fulfill the client’s vision. Luckily, architect Greg Randall and designer Joanna Frank knew how to do this when they embarked on an Art Deco-inspired Lincolnwood home. randallarchitects.com; joannafrank-id.com

Tell us more about that chandelier.

GR: We wanted this space to never lose that illuminated quality between day and night, so the fixture had to be equally bright with a similar elegance— not overblown and gaudy. Joanna found one that worked brilliantly. It reminds me of the draping casual elegance of pearl necklaces, which are always classic.

The nook in the staircase appears to be gilded. How did the two of you execute it? JF: The stair shape was Greg’s idea. The niche creates this awesome effect that floats the steps in space without having to alter the whole structure. It’s brilliant. We didn’t want to lose that dramatic effect with all-white walls, so we chose a gilded wallcovering from Studio E that provides contrast.

Why add a carpeted runner in an otherwise austere space?

JF: To avoid said austerity! This is a welcoming home, with friends and family running up and down the stairs at all hours, so a carpet was needed not only for look but also out of necessity. Luckily, I have a good friend and producer who weaved this durable, spectacular runner made of wool, aloe and metalized thread. luxesource.com / 191

6 FIRST BLOOM Great home design requires a harmonious marriage between the interiors and the exterior—a concept homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of as they embrace outdoor living. “Creating an inviting outdoor space is like decorating a new room,” says landscape architect Marguerite Gluck, “and the same amount of attention and care should be given to that effort.” To design a successful alfresco getaway, Gluck offers tips that will have you spending more time in the great outdoors. margueritegardens.com Read the tag. The most common mistake is planting a specimen that will mature to a size out of scale with the rest of the garden or has specific light and soil needs that are ignored.

Amend the soil. Find the right compost product to make the planting medium suitable. Chicago’s soil is sandy, so it is great for drainage but needs organic enrichment. Farther outside the city, the soil has lots of nutrients but becomes clayish, so it can be difficult for roots to spread.

Mull it over. If you are in a new home, don’t make any drastic decisions regarding the landscape. Live with it for a while, and then determine how you want to use the space.

POOL READY

“The experience of outdoor spaces has become an extension of indoor living,” says architect Terri Crittenden. For the Michigan project above, she and her team also served as the builder and interior designer. “We had the good fortune to be able to continue the design intent to the landscaping and pool setting,” she says. The pool is nestled in the center of the main house, the guesthouse and the screened-in porch.

Here, she explains the effect of the site’s materials. fredmandesigngroup.com The material selection brings warmth: The cedar deck surrounds the pool and visually ties it to the structures, creating an intimate setting that feels private and cozy.

The pool has a concrete surround: This change in material was meant to clearly distinguish where the pool begins while providing a sitting area for everyone to gather.

The backdrop of the space was very important: We extended the cedar all the way up to create a connection between all of the elements.

Landscaping was planted in front of a wall: This softened the spaces and created different scales in the various areas. We chose the cedar because we wanted to develop intimacy in a subtle way.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

FOUR PROFESSIONALS SPILL THEIR SECRETS FOR ARRANGING THE PERFECT ALFRESCO SPACE.

URBAN oasis

Creating an ideal outdoor space in a city can be a challenge, especially when clients relocate from a suburban setting where they are used to a plethora of land. For this project, designer Bruce Fox worked with architect Catherine Osika and Culliton Quinn Landscape Architecture to create a serene setting on the 17th floor of a high-rise building in Chicago. Because of the altitude, however, a careful selection of furnishings and greenery was necessary, so low plantings and grasses that work well with the whipping winds at that height were chosen. Below, Fox discusses some of the keys to a creating a terrace oasis. brucefoxdesign.com What should homeowners consider when determining outdoor furniture placement? It’s important to create conversation areas that offer ease of movement, just as one would inside. Here, we strategically placed seating in a way that would maximize the view.

Fire pits are hugely popular right now. Why do you think that is?

As human beings, our relaxation response to fire is actually somewhat of an evolutionary adaption. The light, crackling noise, warmth and smell associated with a fire adds a wild magic to any urban setting. And, luckily, with the many gas-alternative offerings now available, and their corresponding ease of use and safety, fireplaces are becoming all the more attractive.

Do you have any favorite outdoor fabrics you like working with?

Outdoor textiles have made great progress over the years; among my greatest takeaways from continued use is their improvement in overall feel and texture. What started out as stiff acrylics now might be beautiful, soft chenilles and sheers.

Perennials Fabrics and Holly Hunt’s Great Outdoors are a constant favorite of mine for both interior and exterior use.

DOUGLAS HOERR

SCOTT BYRON

The most beautiful outdoor spaces exist in dialogue with the home and the greater landscape. Outdoor spaces that are sympathetic to their sites will elevate the architecture and be more horticulturally sustainable.

No longer do gardens have to be all formal or all natural; hybrid spaces let clients embrace myriad design possibilities. When you let nature and architecture tell you what they want to be—rather than imposing an external idea on a site—the results are more successful. hoerrschaudt.com

More people are investing in outdoor spaces because they want to focus on their homes and place an emphasis on living, family and entertaining. Outdoor kitchens, screened-in porches, fire pits and pergolas all add to a setting that can encourage people to gather.

There’s also a focus on simplicity and the environment; people want plants that don’t require a lot of chemicals or water usage. Many also ask for edible plants—they make a garden and landscape functional, not just aesthetically pleasing. scottbyron.com

CAROL HEFFERNAN

KEVIN TOUKOUMIDIS

Our modern world is stressful and hectic. Home is where you can kick off your shoes and retreat into your own sanctuary, which includes the outside. Several elements combine to deliver a successful outdoor experience. The process starts with an understanding of the site and its surroundings. The space has to be functional yet aesthetically pleasing. The hardscapes should flow effortlessly, and the materials should be apropos to the architecture of the house. The goal is a space that draws you in. heffernanlandscapedesign.com

Everyone benefits from access to the outdoors. People are healthier and happier when they spend time outside and have a connection to nature. A well-considered home will have both interior and exterior spaces designed to be visually inviting and functional. Our firm strives to make living spaces that provide a calming setting and are cohesive with the home’s architectural design. In some cases, the exterior design and landscape are utilized to fold the home into the fabric of the neighborhood. dspacestudio.com luxesource.com / 193

A BOLD

ENTRY

Andrea Burridge knows the importance of first impressions, which explains the striking blue of the front door of this Hinsdale home she designed with Pursley Dixon Architecture. “If an entry is done well, it welcomes you in and gives you the desire to discover more of the home,” she says. Here, her tips for creating an eye-catching entrance. axbinteriors.com Well-maintained grounds are a must. I love order and symmetry in landscaping and a garden. Pick a couple of colors you love—either in flowers or foliage—and have them appear throughout your property.

Add gorgeous large urns or planters. Fill them with lush boxwood or bold flowers that make a statement, and complement the colors in the landscaping. Keep it simple—not too busy or overstated.

Most important exterior element to keep in mind: Be a good neighbor and have some context of scale and proportion. What are homeowners asking for at the moment? We are doing more modern floor plans with warm, comfortable materials on the walls, floors and ceilings.

The fun part is contrasting a minimal room with something warm and rich right next to it. michael-abraham.com

Is there a historical architecture trend resurging?

Historically referenced details captured in iron. We see that in lighting design. Any exterior elements that should be considered high priority? The site, which influences where windows are best located to capture light and view, where adjoining outdoor spaces want to be and how privacy for bedroom placement can be maximized. kquinnarch.com

Favorite material to design with: I like any opportunity to bring in a natural element like stone as well as cedar or slate roofing. If they’re appropriate to the style of the house, they lend a more organic feel. What’s on homeowners’ wish lists?

Spaces that function more on a casual-entertaining basis. We’re seeing the dining room disappear. gtharchitects.com

What is the most important element of good interior architecture? Light. If you have a well-proportioned space with good natural light, you can make a lot of mistakes but it will still be a good space.

Preferred material: Wood.

It can be both structure and surface, and it’s incredibly flexible. It comes in so many varieties, including density, grain pattern and color. vonweiseassociates.com

Go-to material: Tabby, which is oyster shells and concrete.

It creates beautiful layered lines, and it doesn’t preclude a visual style—you can make classical or modern buildings out of it. What makes for a successful interior? The furniture and architectural plans should be of the same mind. Get the electrical components correct, and the lighting plans will respond to different needs. rugoraff.com

Make an inviting front door. Interesting hardware is always a scene stealer. You can find a fabulous door knocker at an antiques show. Paint can also do wonders: Paint your door a welcoming color that is just a little different from your neighbors.

INTEGRATION

Architect Chip Hackley worked with designer Army Kartheiser on her own Wilmette home (left), where a driving force was continuity throughout. “There is no need to match exactly from room to room,” Hackley says, “but you should understand the context created by the materials, finishes and proportions already in place.” This includes furniture. “There is a familiarity between the furnishings here, and the space offers an opportunity to be a little eclectic with an abstract painting or a modern piece of furniture,” he says. “Not being too severe with all allows for exploration.” hackleyarchitects.com

MODERN TAKE

Architect Paul Konstant worked with interior designer Michael Del Piero to create a modern urban home with rustic overtones for a couple who moved from the suburbs to the city. A mix of neutral walls, light wood and concrete—along with a custom steel fireplace surround fabricated by Aaron Bladon, Ltd— give the home the sleek urban edge the owners were looking for. Below, Konstant divulges his secrets to creating the right space. konstantarchitecture.com

How did you transform the fireplace into an übermodern centerpiece?

In a contemporary space, as in a traditional space, the fireplace is often the room’s main focus. The transformation is in the interpretation of the fireplace—its design scale and

material. Designing a fireplace in a high-rise structure influences material choice. Here, we used steel studs, drywall, a steel firebox and a fire kit.

What is the most vital thing to keep in mind when designing a contemporary home? Interpret all contributing variables—program, site, materials—with a pure and honest clarity. To keep modern designs from feeling too sterile or cold, it’s all about the palette.

Use a mix of current materials with the natural ones.

Why do you think homeowners are more open to embracing modern designs? Contemporary architecture is current and takes advantage of new materials, technology and construction methods. luxesource.com / 195

Collaboration among professionals is paramount to a successful project. For this California-inspired North Shore home, architect Bill Massey joined forces with builder Jon Kogan and designer Andrea Goldman to create a modern yet timeless kitchen. “Assembling the whole team at the conception of the project yields the best results,” Massey says, as he explains below. masseyassociates.com Creating a mood: Jon and I worked with a custom cabinet fabricator to develop the finish. I proposed rift-cut white oak to establish a natural and calming character for the space, and Andrea considered a finish that blended with the rest of the material palette. Mock-ups were developed and considered with other material samples to achieve the final finish. As a result, the cabinets appear aged but not old. Keeping it smooth: Solidwhite surface countertops continue the kitchen’s sense of calm while also providing a crisp, modern edge to the surfaces. The Statuary white marble-slab backsplashes add an understated dramatic touch and nod to a more traditional kitchen material. Adding value: The sheer quantity and use of materials and design emphasis placed on the kitchen makes it the figurative center of a home. This space elicits the strongest emotional response. Presenting a striking design provides a stronger connection to the home that can be converted into increased appreciation and value.

LUXURY BUILDING PROFESSIONALS SHARE WHAT’S ON THEIR RADAR AND INNOVATIONS TO WATCH FOR THIS YEAR.

RICH BONDAROWICZ

MICHAEL MILLER

DOUG DURBIN

BRANDON ROGALASKI STEVE KADLEC

Favorite way to incorporate materials: Millwork is the jewelry that sets the tone for the house. The use of different types can make a home look and feel almost any style, from modern to ornate Victorian.

Most important item to splurge on: Cabinetry and built-ins, because they are a long-term decision—they cannot be easily changed.

The overall design and quality are critical to the owners’ long-term love of the home. smartgroupchicago.com

Splurge-worthy projects: The kitchen and the master bathroom. We build a lot of master baths that are almost like home spas. Why do you feel kitchen and bath renovations add value?

Those are the areas in which people spend most of their time. It’s important the master bathroom function well—and for the beauty and ambience to match the functionality.

The kitchen, meanwhile, often dictates the style and flow of the house. centaurco.com

What’s worth the value in new construction? Quality, not quantity. The finishes and the fit of the details, in my opinion, drive the emotion of a space. Is there a design trend you’re really loving right now?

I like infusing classic details with modern touches and materials, like pairing a classically profiled stone surround with a polished metal hood and modern sconces, for example. nuhaus.com

Go-to material: Wood is good!

The beauty of wood can achieve the warmth, character and details of anyone’s taste.

Name one element when building a space that is of the utmost importance. You can’t sacrifice the comfort of a great mechanical system.

All the beautiful finishes—from windows and wood floors to doors and millwork—depend on it. Not to mention, it’s great to have warm feet in your stone or tile bath. powerconstruction.net

LX_CH46_EOD.indd 197

Most important feature to spend money on: Quality wood flooring. It is often a value-engineered item and too often a compromised decision. What’s needed for a successful remodeling project? A good floor plan is the foundation of good interior design. A functional room layout, organized lighting, thoughtfully placed windows and doors, and continuity between spaces defines the feel of a home as much as the finishes. kadlecdesign.com

I HAVE A PASSION FOR ANTIQUE 19TH-CENTURY DOUBLE DOORS WITH ORIGINAL HARDWARE AND BEAUTIFUL PATINATED WOOD. THE LOOK REALLY SETS THE STAGE FOR A ROOM.” –DANA LYON, THE REFINED GROUP PHOENIX

“Animal-skin prints are captivating, glamorous, and mix in with virtually every style. Skin rugs are ancient yet can go from classical to modern, depending on how they are used.”

–JESSICA LAGRANGE, JESSICA LAGRANGE INTERIORS CHICAGO

“Our go-to trim color is Farrow & Ball’s Pavilion Gray. Its light, chalky blue-gray works wonderfully with antiques and natural materials.”

–BROOKE GIANNETTI, GIANNETTI HOME SANTA BARBARA, CA

“I am cautiously optimistic that the design pendulum is swinging back to an appreciation of antiques and ornamentation. Some of this is a natural reaction to the saturation of megamodern, white, beige and gray interiors. I also think that, subliminally, people want a return to something cozier and with a connection to the past.”

MORGANTE WILSON ARCHITECTS

Recently celebrating 30 years in business, it’s hard to believe there’s much more Morgante Wilson Architects could add to its repertoire. But given the firm’s multifaceted approach, it comes as no surprise they recently broadened their offerings with an interior design division. “It’s a natural extension of the firm’s expertise in residential architecture,” says principal Elissa Morgante. “The interiors group has grown to become an important part of our business, expanding the richness and scope of the firm’s portfolio, while providing a valuable add-on service to clients.” Since then, the company has taken on hospitality and commercial projects, including collaborating with top multifamily developers to execute the interior design of high-end model apartments, consult on unit finish packages, and oversee the interior architecture and design of common areas and amenity spaces. “This increased depth in design enhances our commitment to create meaningful and beautiful architecture,” says principal and partner Fred Wilson. Morgante and Wilson met in graduate school while pursuing their master’s degrees in architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

They started their firm shortly after graduating, and never looked back. Thirty years in business, 30 years in marriage, and three children later, they have established a true partnership in life. While Morgante looks at every project from the inside out and Wilson from the outside in—they exemplify the yin and yang of successful design. To ensure they deliver a home that truly reflects their clients’ style, the duo places great importance on forming partnerships with their clients as well.

“As much as any industry design award, lasting partnerships are a source of pride for us,” they say.

“They are a meaningful sign that we’ve succeeded in earning the trust of the clients we serve.”

Elissa Morgante and Fred Wilson Principals 2834 Central Street Evanston, Illinois 847.332.1001 info@morgantewilson.com morgantewilson.com

Our goal is to utilize a multifaceted approach to design a home that embodies our client’s aesthetic, and complements and enhances the way they live.

Tips for clients to make the design experience more rewarding?

We love engaging with people who think about design in a holistic sense, so that architecture and interiors are developed hand-in-hand. The only way to deliver this is to engage in open communication every step of the way.

Your firm’s philosophy?

Listening to clients is the first duty of design, and it’s where we draw our inspiration from. We also believe architecture should respect the wider world, so we offer eco-friendly options.

CH46_Profiles_MorganteWilsonArchitects_1113_eg.indd 3

Favorite styles to work in and why?

If we had to name just one, it would be transitional. We love blending traditional with contemporary, but work comfortably in any style. Our competencies are just as broad, spanning architecture, interior design and custom furniture.

ILENE CHASE DESIGN

Ilene Chase Design is recognized for creating a signature look for every client, as it provides the highest level of service and attention to detail. Principal and owner Ilene Chase achieves these results through the careful balance of historical and modern-day influences. “Having the ability to take a piece from the past and pair it with a new trend allows me to create a one-of-a-kind look,” she says. A self-made success, Chase began her career painting murals and creating canvas floor art. Building her clients’ trust over time, she branched out to consult them on kitchen designs and other decorating ideas. This evolved to complete home design, working with various builders throughout the Chicagoland area. Twenty-four years later, and ICD continues to work throughout Chicago and the United States, in addition to traveling to destination locations to design vacation homes for its clients. “We have no limits on where we will travel and the types of communities we work in,” she asserts. Chase and her team also have no limits when it comes to style. “We love to work on projects that provide us the ability to insert an element of midcentury modern, edgy style—inspired by my childhood in 1960s Highland Park,” she says. “But we always stay true to an uncluttered finished space, allowing our clients’ personal touches to shine through.” While Chase revels in every aspect of the design process, she says it’s the people that make the project a success—using words like family driven, knowledgeable, well-traveled and curious to describe her clientele. “I love dreaming up new designs that make my client’s home function for their family and become a showcase for their vision and my design creations.”

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

HOLLANDER DESIGN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

When asked to define luxury, landscape architect Edmund Hollander says, “Luxury is that perfect Endless Summer hydrangea shrub in late summer … when the leaves begin to turn a crisp red and the blooms are the full spectrum, from soft blues to deep maroons.” A fitting response for the esteemed plant and tree devotee, whose love of all things green took root during his college years at Vassar. “I made it my business to learn the names of every tree and plant on campus and was so enthralled that I created a map of all of the greenery there,” he recalls. After Vassar, Hollander obtained his master’s in landscape architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, where he met his mentor, Scottish landscape architect Ian McHarg. “He is my idol; I studied with him and am so grateful for his tutelage,” he says. In 1991, Hollander founded his namesake Hollander Design Landscape Architects—with two New York locations and one in Chicago—from which he and his team have created hundreds of landscapes, both public and private, around the world. From its first large commission for Merck’s headquarters in New Jersey, to gardens in the Hamptons, Cleveland, and the Village of Sag Harbor, New York, along with upcoming projects in Chicago, HDLA continues its work on high-end residential projects, in addition to working with individual clients, developers, municipalities, private entities and public groups. No matter the project, Hollander says the two most critical elements are the soils and what’s planted in them. “We strive to create a three-way marriage among the three ecologies: natural, architectural and human. Our work respects all of these, with the end goal being a seamless collaboration so you can’t tell where the architect left and the landscape begins.”

Edmund Hollander, Principal 100 South State Street Chicago, Illinois 312.889.9077 contact@hollanderdesign.com hollanderdesign.com

I don't know that there are physical elements that define our work. Our work is really defined by the respect for the ecology of the space, architecture and the user.

RINEHART DESIGN GROUP

Two-in-one Rinehart Design Group proves that you can do all things and do them well. Equal parts luxury custom cabinetry and full-service interior design firm, RDGi provides idea generation, design, drafting, manufacturing and delivery of high-end custom cabinetry for designers, contractors and homeowners alike. In business for 12 years, principal Brandy Rinehart has built her namesake design firm by word of mouth, forming relationships that often expand into a need for cabinetry solutions.

With a degree in furniture design, a second line of business in custom cabinetry was a natural move for Rinehart, whose client base includes a myriad of trade professionals with whom she has cultivated partnerships spanning more than a decade. She often works directly with interior designers as a “go-to” trade partner, fulfilling just the cabinetry needs of their clients. With an attractive price point and high quality, RDGi’s cabinetry is hard to beat given Rinehart's national reach, low overhead and control over manufacturing. With travel as a constant source of inspiration, Rinehart has no boundaries when it comes to location, working in urban environments, rural communities, coastal towns and mountain escapes. “We thrive on variation and love the change of scenery,” she says. Embracing a vast array of styles, RDGi remains consistent when it comes to the design outcome: always clean with timeless elegance, and a conversation piece to complete the look. “I'm a big fan of having at least one ‘wow factor’ item that shows the client’s personality,” she says. A single mom of two children, Rinehart prides herself on growing her business while meeting their needs. It’s a careful balance she’s achieved by managing priorities, personally and professionally. “As much as I enjoy creating a beautiful wine cellar, kitchen, library or other stunning living space, the most important part of my job is making sure our clients are happy,” she says. “Hearing them say, ‘This is gorgeous; thank you!’, is the best part of every project.”

T

hey don’t make them like they used to” has been said about everything from cars to movies. And, of course, there are always those who would argue newer is better.

When it comes to buying a house, however, Nick and Ariele Scodro are very much of the first camp.

The young couple, who have a baby daughter, ended their search for a new home when they found themselves romanced by a 1927 condo in Lincoln Park, impressed with the structure’s level of detail and quality of materials.

“We looked at a couple of places with newer construction, but they weren’t right,” Nick recalls. “I grew up in a Chicago brownstone, and the aesthetic of a vintage building coupled with high-quality construction was something we both wanted—and this building had it.” To match the character and sophistication of the structure’s French Renaissance architecture, they envisioned interiors with overtones that nod to the City of Light. “Paris has a cohesive set of design principles, but it’s also at the forefront of what’s new,” Nick says. “We wanted that blend of old and provocative.”

For help, they turned to the person responsible for Nick’s appreciation of good design: his mother, designer Kim Scodro. Making it a family affair, she brought along fellow designers Kathryn Scodro—Nick’s sister-in-law— and Jessica Leibovich, who had worked with Kim and the couple on a previous job and took the lead on this project.

“We already had a handle on their style,” Leibovich says.

“Ariele likes neutrals but also has a playful side, while Nick values function.”

The trio began by working with architect Stuart Shayman and builder Anthony DiVittorio to reshape the floor plan so it was better suited to modern life. “We started out structurally and looked at what spaces could be changed or removed,” Shayman says. He transformed a maid’s office into a combination breakfast nook and office, for example, and flipped the positions of the dining and living areas in the great room, which received coffered ceilings and beams. “There was no overhead lighting in the dining space, because the existing thick plaster ceilings had no wiring,” Kathryn says. “Adding the beams with electrical access meant we could suspend a fixture that helps

delineate and brighten the room.” Taking cues from the home’s original millwork, the team accentuated the family area’s stone fireplace with picture-frame molding for Parisian flair and introduced new kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.

The refreshed traditional elements offer a perfect backdrop for a blend of old and new decor with interjections of the unexpected. In the entry, for instance, a tufted chaise— another nod to French design—with Lucite legs is juxtaposed with walls sheathed in silver-and-white paper. “We took the traditional shape of the chaise and simplified it with rounded edges,” Leibovich says. “The wallpaper—introduced in 1963—has a vintage quality, but the pattern is fresh and current. They are formal elements but fun and livable.”

The same could be said of the lush peacock blue velvet that covers a pair of cantilevered brass-framed chairs in the living area of the great room. “Those chairs could handle a textile with personality, and the owners love shades of blue, so it was a good choice for offsetting the neutral background,” Leibovich says. A custom tête-à-tête is another unanticipated element. “There’s a big sectional close by, and we wanted to avoid bumping sofas,” Kathryn explains.

“The tête-à-tête provides separation and breathing room.” A nearby silver-leaf étagère with spiked edges and an antique console with a white lacquer finish in the entryway update the classic designs.

Mindful of Ariele’s playful side, photos of lions face off across the great room’s fireplace, while the intense pink brushstrokes on an abstract painting in the same room answer Nick’s desire to provoke. “Our team helped with the art selection and offered lots of choices, including a series of Gray Malin animal prints that ended up in the breakfast nook,” Kim says. “Everything is very personal to the couple and who they are.”

A mix of fabrics elevates the nearby dining space, where host chairs sport two textiles with complementary prints.

“Pairing a geometric-triangle pattern with a deconstructed stripe works, because they are different scales,” Leibovich explains. A tribal-like pattern appears on the side chairs, while the cream-colored window coverings are bordered with a marble-inspired print. “We wanted to keep the eye moving to the park and lake views,” Kathryn says. “The marble leading edge on the draperies brings attention to the window without overwhelming it.”

Overhead, the clean lines of an aged-iron light fixture—a strong presence against the room’s soft white walls—is part of a mixed-metal subtheme. “A little sheen goes a long way, and mixing metals in warm and cool tones yields the best result,” Kathryn says. The lighting piece ties back to the brass banding on the living room console, the brushednickel kitchen hardware and the gold stars that twinkle on the nursery wallpaper, while brass accents on the master bedroom’s white lacquer nightstands continue the theme.

Refreshed for modern living, the residence exudes a personal quality only family could provide. “Obviously, we know each other well,” Nick says of the team, “so Ariele and I knew their approach would be consistent with ours.” An equally pleased daughter-in-law adds, “I loved seeing how the mix of antiques and newer pieces came together. It just

ost people want a strict divide between work and home, even if that doesn’t always happen. But for multimedia artist Laura Letinsky, home is what serves as the inspiration for her work— be it her porcelain dinnerware, table linens or photographs capturing still-life table scenes. “The things and spaces of a home tell more about those who inhabit those spaces than a portrait of them necessarily does,” she explains.

This mentality stems from Letinsky’s childhood, when she would watch her grandmother go about her day doing chores some might see as routine but were also steeped in creativity. “Her sewing, her room jam-packed with fabrics, her amazing ability as a cook and gardener—these were first loves of mine,” Letinsky recalls. Those everyday creative passions remained with her, and she decided to pursue a bachelor of fine arts

LX_CH46_SM_Letinsky.indd 251

in ceramics and photography at the University of Manitoba in Canada. “Both disciplines carry impressions literally of light and touch, sort of like footprints on the sand,” she says. “For me, they are a language in which I feel versant, even eloquent.”

Later armed with a master of fine arts from Yale University, Letinsky accepted a position as a professor in the visual arts department at the University of Chicago in 1994. This gave her the freedom to continue her artistic pursuits, focusing for many years on photography, during which time her subjects segued from people to still-lifes of the home. Her award-winning works have been published in six monographs and viewed in exhibitions around the world, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and The Photographers’ Gallery in London.

In 2010, Letinsky decided to revisit her interest in ceramics, a medium she hadn’t explored for

11/21/17 3:16 PM

nearly 30 years. As an attempt to mitigate the desire for the newest items, she began making her own home objects and dishes, formed exactly as she wanted them. “I was on a quest to make the perfect bowl for my Mediterraneaninspired fish soup,” she recalls. Despite the time that had passed since her hands had touched clay, Letinsky’s Molosco dishware series was picked up by the highly regarded Pujol restaurant in Mexico City. Soon, what began as one bowl evolved into many more, followed by plates, cups, platters and the like in a range of colors—white, black and pink, all trimmed with gold or platinum.

At the same time she was reimmersing herself in ceramics, Letinsky added another medium to her explorations of the table. She collaborated with textile artist John Paul Morabito on Stain, a collection of eight damask napkins, each with a stain woven into the fabric—a symbolic reference to accept imperfections. “Embracing all that is not pure white is to embrace a world that is all the better in its markings of life lived,” she says.

More recent years have brought about other experiments. A 2015 group exhibition at Heaven Gallery displayed Letinsky’s purposefully broken ceramic urns, a personal exploration of the idea of setting down what one no longer wishes to carry. Her photography was linked with textiles in another joint project with Morabito, The Telephone Game. This 2015-16 series featured abstract tapestries built out of Letinsky’s digital photographic collages, which were handwoven and abstracted by Morabito.

Among her many mediums, Letinksy underscores the same notion: the beauty of everyday life. Like observing her grandmother, it is within daily activities such as reading, listening to music and cooking that the artist finds her creativity. “It’s about connecting to something that makes me pay attention,” she says, “to see, hear and listen anew.”

That’s what a pair of young newlyweds—him: a sports-marketing executive; her: a televisionmakeup artist—found in designer Stephen Young when they hired him to renovate their 11th-floor apartment in River North. “We met at a coffee shop, and there was an immediate connection,” Young recalls. “Designers have such an intimate relationship with their clients, and these homeowners wanted to work with somebody who knows how young couples live.”

Both the clients and Young were in their twenties—a personal quality that held major appeal as the couple took the next big step in their lives: investing in a fixer-upper in the building where they had owned another apartment for years. “Stephen is young and understood where we were coming from,” the wife says. “I told him I wanted a California-chic style: clean with a boho vibe; easy and not over-designed.” One of the first steps in accomplishing this was painting walls white and installing new wideplank white-oak flooring. But to make sure the casual ambience still felt elegant, Young upped the ante with jetblack doors, strategically placed dark-wood furnishings, sumptuous fabrics and a collected mix of metals. “The look is young and livable but also sophisticated,” Young says. “It just feels good.”

Natural daylight floods through sheer draperies on the south- and east-facing windows in the ethereal living room, where a neutral Moroccan-style woven-wool rug defines a cozy seating area furnished with a plush sectional sofa and a pair of chairs with nailhead trim. “The space is rich with texture and materiality, so it doesn’t feel like a plain-white box,” Young says, pointing to the wood-and-metal cocktail table and a lamp made of crystal chards. Of all the beautiful

elements in the room, his favorite is the fireplace wall, a hand-troweled plaster with subtle reflective overtones.

“The finish is very earthy and rustic, but the metallic makes it feel current and fresh,” the designer says. “It completely changes the space and ties all the materials together.”

Young repeated the plaster on the custom range hood in the open kitchen, which he reconfigured to create a more functional space with a mix of white and wood cabinetry.

“The floor plan had a lot of odd angles we eliminated and tried to square off,” the designer says. “It was all about creating balance and symmetry.” By adding side walls to an existing ceiling soffit, for instance, Young formed a niche for the new armoire-style cabinetry. To finish the space, he designed a stone waterfall island to replace the original boomerang-shaped one.

In the nearby open dining area, Young enlarged and centered a wall to offer a focal point for artwork—specifically, a large tie-dyed diptych in a clear acrylic frame. The modern piece speaks the same language as the room’s Sputniklike chandelier with chrome-dipped bulbs suspended over the teak dining table and open-back chairs. “The table fits the rustic-casual vibe, and the chandelier adds a touch of sparkle and glam,” the designer says.

Bling wasn’t the only quality Young introduced. After learning the wife loves elements like mercury glass, he scoured showrooms until he found an antiqued-mirrored table for the foyer. He also added antique-glass panels to a bar he designed for a former dead space in the living room. “The couple had those details incorporated into their wedding, so I knew it would mean a lot to them,” Young says. “When you really get to know your clients, the result is always better.”

The palette is flipped on its head in the master bedroom, where gray paint colors all walls except an accent one clad with a metallic grass cloth. Woven into a diamond pattern, the material is a tactile backdrop for a velvet-tufted headboard and wrapped-linen nightstands, creating the sophisticated-bohemian vibe the couple wanted.

The gray tones flow into the master bathroom in the form of custom cabinetry and veining in the white marble walls, which are offset with crisp-white quartz countertops.

Echoing the shape of the polished-nickel cabinet pulls is a scalloped edge along the backsplash. “It creates a traditional style that’s timeless and fits the caliber of this building,” Young says, pointing to the herringbone-tile flooring as another example. “Classic.”

On top of becoming friends with Young throughout the renovation, “the apartment turned out exactly how we imagined,” the wife says. As another result, she and her husband are working with the designer on a second project: “We’re having a baby and turning the spare bedroom into a nursery,” she says. “We’re very excited.”

A sunburst mirror by Baker brings sparkle to the entryway of a family home in Glencoe designed by architect Celeste Robbins.

The marble-and-steel console table is by Powell & Bonnell.

I

t was while on an architecture tour in Glencoe when a lifelong design enthusiast visited a house by architect Celeste Robbins she would never forget. “Being modern, it was markedly different from everything else in the neighborhood,” she recalls. “I was immediately struck by it, and I remember thinking, ‘I could live here.’ ” Her chance to work with Robbins came years later, when she and her husband were on the hunt for a new home to raise their two children in. “We fell in love with a property surrounded by a ravine a stone’s throw from Lake Michigan,” the wife says. “As soon as we acquired it, we contacted Celeste to create a modern familyfriendly residence that would take advantage of the spectacular surroundings.”

LX_CH46_HOM_Robbins_16.indd 266

The heavily wooded setting served as the driving force for the modernist structure that would replace the original home on the property. “The inspiration came straight from the site,” Robbins says. “With a gorgeous ravine view out the backdoor, I knew it was important to create a connection to the outdoors.” Other contributions came from the clients, who regularly stopped by the architect’s office with new ideas. “The homeowners were engaged in the process from the beginning, which I loved,” Robbins says. Among their requests were room for entertaining and plenty of solid walls for a growing art collection.

In answer, Robbins devised a two-story rectangular-shaped house with a slight bend at one end to allow for views of Lake Michigan. At the front, she conjured an Indiana limestone

The combination living-dining area is the family’s formal entertaining space and offers expansive views of the landscape. The sofa, purchased at Luminaire, is by B&B Italia, and the dining table and chairs are part of the brand’s Maxalto collection. Moooi pendants add a touch of glam to the dining area. The coffee table is Minotti, and the windows are Duratherm.

An eat-in kitchen offers a more casual gathering-and-dining space as well as immediate access to the pool patio. The Boffi kitchen features an island that accommodates four JeanMarie Massaud barstools. The nearby table and chairs, which join a built-in banquet designed by Robbins, were purchased at Luminaire; above them are Tom Dixon pendants.

façade punctuated by slot windows. “The windows create patterns of light to animate the façade yet still maintain privacy,” the architect explains. In the back, Robbins installed floor-to-ceiling windows on both floors, offering unimpeded views of the trees. The resulting building is sculptural, timeless and elegant—an impressive feat, acknowledges builder Jake Goldberg. “For the layperson, minimalist architecture appears to be simple to build, but in fact it’s the opposite,” he says. “Clean lines create a small margin for error, and ductwork, steel beams and plumbing lines become very tricky to hide.”

The home’s modern forms offer a pure backdrop for its interior design, a collaborative effort by a cohesive team organized by Robbins: She brought on lighting designer Anne Kustner as well as designer Travis Clifton, a friend of the architect since their days at Cornell University. “My focus was on the furnishings,” Clifton says. “The forms and textures of the pieces both respond to the architecture and play off one another.” In the main living spaces, the designer introduced clean-lined Italian pieces upholstered in grayblue hues to keep attention on the clients’ art collection, which includes works by Alex Katz and Meredith Pardue.

She also opted for textural fabrics and subtle patterns that change with the day-to-evening light.

Throughout the project, the interior design evolved as Clifton collaborated with the wife, who found inspiration from magazines and showrooms. “If I could embark on a second career, it would be in the fields of design and art,” the wife says. “I follow the contemporary art and design scenes. Walking through the Chicago Merchandise Mart, European furniture showrooms and art galleries is a treat.”

But this residence’s greatest muse, the homeowner acknowledges, is Mother Nature. “Depending on the season, we’re visited by blue jays, squirrels, rabbits and the occasional deer,” she says. “It’s so peaceful.” Home to oak, maple, willow and ash trees, the grounds required only

minimal enhancement. “We added redbuds and dogwoods to the understory of the trees,” says landscape architect Kris Barker. Closer to the home, she and partner Tiffany Evans kept the look architectural and linear with evergreens and a flat lawn perfect for kicking around a soccer ball. “We also created controlled moments of seasonal color, like planters for spring tulips,” Evans adds.

Amidst the woodsy environment, the family’s new linear home stands tall and proud, welcoming its surrounds with the signature minimalist style that caught the wife’s eye years ago. “It has a classic modernism aesthetic that responds to the site quietly,” Robbins says. “It’s a really special house.”

INSPIRATION FOUND

EASTERN INFLUENCE “ASIAN-INSPIRED OBJECTS AND CHINOISERIE HAVE THE POWER TO TRANSPORT TO A PLACE OF SURPRISE AND DISCOVERY,” SAYS DESIGNER HUTTON WILKINSON. MOVED BY WILKINSON’S WORDS, AS WELL AS THE LUXURIOUS SILK WALLCOVERING AND GILDED BAMBOO MIRROR FOUND IN HIS BEVERLY HILLS BEDROOM (SHOWN), WE, TOO, WERE INFLUENCED BY ASIAN CULTURE THIS WINTER—PARTICULARLY BY THE VIBRANT, FESTIVE CHINESE NEW YEAR. IN A CONSCIOUS DEPARTURE FROM THE HOLIDAY’S QUINTESSENTIAL RED HUE, WE TURNED TO GREEN, ONE OF THE PRIMARY COLORS ASSOCIATED WITH 2018’S DOMINATING ENERGY FORM: THE EARTH ELEMENT. WITH THE BELIEF THAT GREEN IS THE COLOR OF GOOD HEALTH, HARMONY AND WELL-BEING, HERE IS TO AN OPTIMISTIC 2018 AHEAD!
