GOLD LIST 2019 We present a special compilation of talented design professionals whose dynamic work has been featured over the past year in the pages of our magazine.

ON THE COVER: Designer Summer Thornton chose to forgo a traditional dining room in this Chicago condo, designing an informal yet glamorous tufted banquette crafted by Eli-Wyn Upholstery. The black Farrah chairs with goldleaf legs from Dwell Studio play off the table's vintage Pierre Cardin chrome-and-brass base.

Thornton added another level of drama with a 1970s-era Murano glass chandelier. Page 284

EDITOR’S LETTER

T

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

MAKING WAVES

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

FORBES + MASTERS

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

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

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

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

WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH

COURTNEY MCLEOD ▲ BENJAMIN JOHNSTON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RADAR / NEW GUARD STEWART HORNER

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

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

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

GIN BRAVERMAN

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

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

▼ ALIZEE BRION

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

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

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

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

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

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

MIKEL WELCH

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

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

HOLLY HOLLENBECK

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

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

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

CYNTHIA SPENCE

San Francisco | cynthiaspencedesign.com

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

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

▲ HANNAH CROWELL

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

ON THE HORIZON: Crowell is working with the Virgin Hotel in Nashville to design a private club, separate from the hotel, featuring an intimate, speakeasy vibe. She’s also renovating a sleepy 16-room motel on Anna Maria Island in Florida.

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

ALEXANDRA KAEHLER Chicago | alexandrakaehler.com

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

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

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

HOLLENBECK PHOTO: SUZANNA SCOTT. CROWELL PHOTO: CAROLINE ALLISON. KAEHLER PHOTO: JULIA BRENNER. SPENCE PHOTO: DREW KELLY.

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

▼ AIMEE WERTEPNY

Chicago | projectinteriors.com

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

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

LINDSAY CHAMBERS

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

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

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

JON DE LA CRUZ San Francisco | dlcid.com

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

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

VANESSA ALEXANDER

Los Angeles | alexanderdb.com

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

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

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

CHAMBERS PHOTO: ROGER DAVIES. DE LA CRUZ PHOTO: JOHN LEE PICTURES. ALEXANDER PHOTO: SHADE DEGGES. WERTEPNY PHOTO: CYNTHIA KIM.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FLUID FORMS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

INSIDE EDITION LUXE ASKED FOUR CHICAGO ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONALS TO SHARE SOME OF THEIR MOST POPULAR CLIENT REQUESTS RIGHT NOW.

“I’m fi nding that there is a continued desire for smaller spaces among clients. I would also like to see smaller buildings of higher quality. Coming up, we are working on Tec.Nano at Monterrey Tec, a nanotechnology lab in Monterrey, Mexico, which will be completed in 2020. We are also working on a major international cultural center in Guangzhou, China, which is expected to be completed in 2020.”

“More clients are interested in the flow between the inside and outside of their homes. We are currently designing a major renovation that involves reconfiguring the pool and outdoor area fl owing from the clubhouse out to the lake, plus a new bar, library and dining space. We also designed a vacation home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, 13 years ago that we recently altered. It’s great to go back to a previous project and have a chance to rethink and renew it.”

“Clients want their homes to be friendlier and less precious, so textiles, rugs and surfaces need to hold up to everyday use without compromising style. We recently did an urban home for a family accustomed to sprawling suburban living that pushed us to get creative with materials and furnishings that are both durable and family-friendly while developing a sophisticated contemporary interior that speaks to its urban setting.”

“The major residential trend we see is the aging-in-place home, coming from empty nesters.

Besides the kitchen/dining/living unified space, we also get many requests for ground-fl oor master suites and/or elevators. Recently, we were given the opportunity to gut and rehab a new apartment in a prominent downtown tower.

Taking the apartment back to the studs was very liberating and permitted a new layout.”

MEET the MAKER Anna Marks discovered her passion for furniture design when she couldn’t find a table for a client’s home. “So I made it,” she says matter-of-factly; thus, her boutique furniture atelier Antu-Made was born. But her handmade pieces—including the Claw Sleek table and David’s bench (shown, below), cast in bronze and finished with rich detail—belie the insouciance of her do-it-yourself spirit. “It’s like jewelry,” Marks says. “Each piece is poured by hand and cannot be made without the mastery of the artist.” antumade.com Describe your pieces. They’re like functional art. I always think of how well they’re going to work rather than how good they are going to look.

102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Tell us about the process. New pieces often arrive out of necessity because I can’t find the perfect one for my client, and I strive for individuality of each piece.

I come up with an idea, develop it into something tangible, explore materials and decide what is appropriate, followed by months and months of prototyping before finally completing the first finished piece.

What are you working on next? I have a very busy mind—I constantly dream of furniture. In the very near future I will launch a new collection, including a set of tables that can be used individually or together, side tables and coffee tables. I’m also excited about an interactive, leatherupholstered bench that I’m working on.

MICHAEL DEL PIERO

An inveterate traveler, Michael Del Piero scours global markets for rare finds. “To me, an unusual item’s texture and story are equal to, if not more important than, its provenance,” she says. The designer’s recently updated store, Michael Del Piero Good Design, boasts a clean, modern space reflecting a European lifestyle experience. Amid antiques from Spain, Africa and China, Del Piero fuses the refined with the rough and worn. A hand-finished metal Foundry collection stool sits alongside a weathered-wood table in one vignette that juxtaposes the sleek and the battered. Natural and highly textured fabrics in cotton, linen and velvet are casually strewn about or tucked into a massive, 13-foot-wide black cabinet found in Parma, Italy. Select pieces of art in moody tones could have been plucked from a century-old home in France.

Countering the antique-filled West Town storefront are a midcentury brass light fi xture by Reggiani and minimalist plywood furniture from Chicago designer Lukas Machnik’s Monument collection. All the elements coalesce to create a warm and inviting vibe. As Del Piero puts it, “My store now has more of a residential feel that reflects a luxurious and livable European sensibility.” michaeldelpiero.com

PACIFIC STANDARD TIME West Coast meets Windy City at the California-inspired eatery Pacific Standard Time.

The restaurant highlights a menu of market-driven ingredients amid an inviting decor done in shades of cream and pale blue, warm woods, marble accents and lush greenery. Paying homage to the architectural style of 1970s California homes, the restaurant’s walls and ceilings are predominantly finished in rough plaster while angled wood beams hover above the expansive bar. New York City-based Parts and Labor Design planned the space so that almost every seat offers a direct sight line into the kitchen. “We sought to connect the guest with the culinary process,” says Danu Kennedy, Parts and Labor’s design director. “The idea of the social, domestic chef’s table is at the heart of the design.” pstchicago.com

“I pushed my skills to the limit,” says Cyril Phan, a Parisian street artist better known as Kongo, of his collaboration with French luxury brand La Cornue. “I had to imagine my art in three-dimensional space and master fire.” Of the six Chateau 150 model ovens he created in honor of La Cornue’s 110th anniversary, only one found its way to the U.S. Inside the Middleby Residential showroom at theMart in Chicago, guarded by red velvet rope and coated in black-and-white graffiti, it awaits claim by its rightful owner.

Jaime Laurita, creative director of Middleby Residential, says people slow down in front of the showroom and peek inside. “It has a magical energy,” says Laurita. An accomplished chef, Laurita has offered to cook the first meal on the status symbol for its buyer. But the French cooker will cost you: The Kongodesigned model in Paris sold for a cool $300,000.

Kennedy Enterprises, the project—expected to be completed by year’s end—will provide residents immediate access to the Chicago Riverwalk as well as extensive landscaped green spaces and 3,500 square feet of retail space. “We continue to see intense demand for high-quality spaces in which to live, work and play along the Chicago River,” says Jim Walsh, Hines’ senior managing director. wolfpointeast.com

Though Gio Ponti is best known for his furniture and architecture design (the Ponti-designed Pirelli Tower is perhaps the most iconic modern skyscraper in Milan), he was a creative master of many mediums including painting, graphics and publishing.

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

LEADING LADY

7

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

THE NEW CLASSIC Born out of a mutual respect for each other’s aesthetics, Ben Erickson and Matthew Kirk’s Contemporary Lounge Chair bridges the gap between art and furniture. The concept was to create a piece that looks like one of Erickson’s designs was pulled through one of Kirk’s paintings.

THE LOOK Elevate the ordinary with bold baths and powder rooms that combine colorful patterns, elegant materials and showstopping details.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

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

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

Designer Denise McGaha’s Array wallcovering for Design Legacy lines her master bathroom in Dallas. Michael Berman fittings by Rohl sit atop Eternal Marquina countertops by Silestone while Addison Weeks hardware decorates the blush cabinetry. Overhead are Bruce pendants by Currey & Company.

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH

A vintage chandelier with Currey & Company shades hangs above a Mirabelle tub from Ferguson that features extra storage under the bench surround.

ON POINT DENISE MCGAHA

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

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

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

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

CLEAN SLATE

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

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

ALL IN THE MIX

EBB AND FLOW

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

WARM WELCOME

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

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

TO THE TOUCH

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

artful LIVING

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

Give it room: If there is a major piece of art, it is important to let it breathe without creating claustrophobia by surrounding it with multiple pieces of furniture.

FOUR INTERIOR TALENTS DISH ON HOW TO DESIGN HIGHIMPACT LIVING SPACES WITH PERSONALITY.

JANET BROOKS

BELLA MANCINI

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pick your color battles: When designing with vibrant hues, choose the art or accessories to pack the color punch. Try introducing just a bit of color from the art into the furnishings, and leave the rest of the palette muted.

7 6 STAIRWAY to HEAVEN When renovating this San Francisco residence, originally built by architect Albert Farr in 1930, Handel Architects partner-in-charge Glenn Rescalvo made graceful updates that enhance tradition. “We always start with what’s existing and try to use the most beautiful elements as starting points for any additional design elements that we bring in.” handelarchitects.com

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

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

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

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

A BOLD ENTRY

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

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

FLASHBACK

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

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

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

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

10 PATTERN PLAY

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

Organic motifs animate the bright orange de Gournay wall panels in this Dallas home envisioned by designer Cynthia Collins. The bold hue is complemented with lavender details—appearing on the sofa and in touches throughout the hand-painted paper. “It’s important to pair color tones,” says Collins. “They don’t necessarily need to match but must enhance each other.” collins-interiors.com

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

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

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

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

14

INSIDE OUT

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

ENTERTAINING EQUILIBRIUM

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

16

In HARMONY

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

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

17

outdoor

INFLUENCE

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

PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE

18 NATURE NOD TO

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

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

19

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

How does the site influence your designs?

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

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

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

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

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

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

STAIR MASTER

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

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

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

How did you bring it to life?

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

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

AGING gracefully

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

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

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

Most important item for homeowners to spend on?

Windows and insulation.

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

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

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

SITTING PRETTY

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

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

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

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

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

SOARING VISTAS

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

LAKE LEVEL

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

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

COUNTRY CLASSIC

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

LUSH LIFE GREEN SPACE

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

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

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

EN PLEIN

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

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

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

Tell us about the wicker chairs.

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

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

PHIL STEINHAUER

ORLANDO COMAS

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

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

JEFF BERGHOFF

TAL THEVENOT

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

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

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

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

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

LAYER IT ON

CURATED CURVES

WHITE OUT

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

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

Fall Market was a white out!

This classic and clean look is here to stay.

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

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

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

KAURI WALLCOVERING IMAGE: COURTESY FROMENTAL.

OUR 2019 GOLD LIST: CREATORS OF THE INSPIRATIONAL HOMES

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

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

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

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

“I love Oval Room Blue

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

–KATHRYN M. IRELAND, LOS ANGELES

“We study great design

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

–DANIEL KAHAN, WEST PALM BEACH, FL

–MICHAEL ABRAMS, CHICAGO

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

–JOSHUA AIDLIN, SAN FRANCISCO

“Less is more in terms of square footage.

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

–DAVID MONTALBA, LOS ANGELES

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

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

Home should bring you solace and joy.”

–GARY HUTTON, SAN FRANCISCO

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

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

THIS PAGE: ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE PHOTO, COURTESY ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE. OPPOSITE: HOERR PHOTO, STEVE HALL/HALL+MERRICK.

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

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

–JOE MCGUIRE, BOULDER, CO

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

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

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

–HOLLY OGDEN, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

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

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

–GYLES THORNELY, DENVER, CO

“John Saladino is a master of poetic interiors.

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

–MARIE FLANIGAN, HOUSTON, TX

–SARA MCCANN, WEST PALM BEACH

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

“Invest in the best general contractor you can afford.

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

–DAVID HAEGELAND, ROLLING MEADOWS, IL

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

–MARA MILLER AND JESSE CARRIER, NEW YORK

THIS PAGE: SHIBORI GEO WALLPAPER IN MOSS GREEN, COURTESY REBECCA ATWOOD. OPPOSITE: STRANG PHOTO, CLAUDIA URIBE.

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

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

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

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

–JAY JEFFERS, SAN FRANCISCO

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

–MAX STRANG, MIAMI

CRAIG & COMPANY

Bringing curiosity, rigor, expertise and an open mind to every client and every project, Craig & Company crafts stunning architecture and interiors for residential and hospitality projects nationwide. While the firm is just shy of a year old, its founder and principal, Joan Craig, boasts more than 25 years in the industry as the former partner of architecture and design firm, Lichten Craig. While open to collaborations with former partner, Kevin Lichten, Craig is looking forward to this exciting next chapter in her career. “My new practice now has offices in New York and Chicago. It’s been so rewarding to recalibrate what I’d like to do professionally moving forward,” she says. Not surprisingly, one of Craig’s most noteworthy projects had every ingredient for a dream collaboration. The Upper East Side clients requested a modern home that paid tribute to their strong and distinctive culture; one that captured memories of their childhood homes in India. “It was a complete renovation of a midcentury courtyard house that involved excavation below the structure for a new pool, research on materials native to their homeland, and interiors that combined classic, modern pieces with their Indian treasure trove.

We even designed a series of rugs inspired by her mother’s saree collection.” Inspired by nature, art, reading, travel and the senses, Craig treasures the beginning stages of the project … “when everything is possible,” she says, “and we’re studying the many opportunities; getting to know a new client, a new place, as that will generate the design.” The absolute best times, though, she says, are the dinner parties with clients after move-in.

Joan Craig, Founder and Principal 4 East Ohio Street, Suite 10 Chicago, Illinois 110 East 25th Street New York, New York 312.321.7400 | 212.951.0350 craig@craigandco.com craigandco.com

A successful project is when there’s a strong sense of place and character, where the client is delighted, and the photo winds up on the cover of Luxe.

Ask the Expert What’s next for the firm?

We all enjoy travel and would love to do more international work.

Your greatest success?

Building a culture and a team of dreamers and thinkers with insane expectations.

MORGANTE WILSON ARCHITECTS

No two exemplify the phrase, “teamwork makes the dream work” quite like Elissa Morgante and Fred Wilson. Architects with a shared love for all things design, Morgante and Wilson recently celebrated their firm, Morgante Wilson Architects’ 31st anniversary. It’s a milestone the duo attributes not only to their great partnership, but also to those they develop with clients, consultants and their own team. “As a result of the relationships formed, we create homes truly reflective of the clients’ style and lifestyle,” Morgante says. “It’s the reason so many of our clients return to work with us again. As much as any industry design award, lasting partnerships are a great source of pride for us—and a truly meaningful sign that we’ve indeed succeeded in earning the trust of the clients we serve.” Highly regarded for their whole-home approach, Morgante and Wilson draw from clients’ goals, but always with respect for the wider world in which we live.

Hence, ecologically friendly building options and high-quality, cost-effective, energy-efficient options are often on the table. “Our goal is to utilize a multifaceted approach to design a home that embodies our clients’ aesthetic and complements and enhances the way they live,” Wilson says. Not surprisingly, they accomplish this through a collaborative effort: Morgante thinks of a home from the inside out, while Wilson looks at it from the outside in. “It’s a style that allows simultaneous contribution to each layer of the project and delivers a unified harmony in our design,” he continues. Inspired by travel and nature, both work comfortably in a multitude of styles—from contemporary to classic, and everything in between. “But if we had to name just one style, it would be transitional,” they say. A perfect blend; just like this husband-and-wife team.

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

We love engaging with people who think about design in a holistic sense, so that architecture and interior design develop hand-in-hand, resulting in the most beautiful and functional home possible.

Ask the Expert What elements characterize your work?

Light, balance and texture.

Milestones in your firm’s success?

The addition of our interior design division is a natural extension of the firm’s expertise in residential architecture.

In addition to residences, it now encompasses hospitality and commercial interiors, as well as the interior design of highend model apartments, consulting on unit finish packages, and overseeing the interior architecture and design of common areas and amenity spaces.

1.

DESIGNSTORMS

A self-proclaimed groupie when it comes to great talent, designer Amy Storm shows much appreciation for those who care deeply about the level of quality and detail in their work. “I love seeing brilliant ideas implemented well,” she says, thinking back to lessons learned from her first boss, Mark Knauer of Knauer Inc., when focused on hospitality design. “He taught me how to look at a space in the broader sense, think about how it will function best and then move to the intricate details.” In 2004, Storm branched out on her own, founding Designstorms, and literally taking the design world “by storm” ever since. Now, with a team of 10 in her new office space in Glen Ellyn; a recently opened retail/trade mashup showroom, called Storm Inspired, and an online shop, Storm has had little downtime, but she’s not complaining. “We’ve had a lot of repeat clients, which really speaks to our integrity, who we are and how we work—not only with clients, but with contractors, subs, trade professionals and more,” she says. “Reputation means everything, and it takes a long time to establish that solid credibility on a large scale.” Regarded for being accessible, experienced, knowledgeable and trustworthy, the firm is equally known for designing spaces with a unique DNA and a common thread of high quality, detail and expertise.

While its focus has remained on the western suburbs of Chicago, Designstorms has expanded its reach to complete projects in Michigan and Texas, with new work beginning in Destin, Florida, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Maine. It has also opened its high-end residential doors to take on more hospitality work. “We are game for anything,” Storm says.

Ask the Expert What inspires you?

I’m a travel addict. This past summer, my family spent 10 days in Italy. It was heaven; I was absorbing everything. The past is inspiring too, like seeing an old tile pattern in a church in Cuba and translating that into a custom rug.

Favorite styles to work in and why?

We love when a client comes to us with a specific style in mind, so we can dive in, explore and learn. We recently completed a midcenturyinspired home office and are currently designing a tiki hut-meets-island resort, sophisticated yet romantic master bedroom.

JENNA WEDEMEYER DESIGN, INC.

Designer Jenna Wedemeyer attributes her success to several significant experiences from the past, working for luxury brands Neiman Marcus, Giorgio Armani, and The J. Peterman Company. “At Neiman Marcus, I learned fiscal responsibility and the importance of customer service; Giorgio Armani broadened my appreciation for fine fabrics and quality construction; and with J. Peterman, I traveled the world and found inspiration and beauty in different cultures,” she recalls. After traveling and living abroad for years, Wedemeyer moved back to the States, establishing Jenna Wedemeyer Design, Inc. in 2007. “It was the logical next step as it combined my passion for interiors with my unique set of personal and professional experiences,” she says. Today, she is selective when accepting new projects. There must be a good fit and willingness to collaborate from all parties. “I have a distinct four-step design process based on open and honest communication, and a mutual respect for one another’s time and resources,” she says. “We keep the important things in perspective, most importantly, creating a beautiful, but livable, space on time and on budget.” Also important to Wedemeyer is elevating her client’s aesthetic—never changing their style. “I want their home to be a reflection of them, not me,” she says. “I pull it together in the most unique way, but it should be about them, their life experiences, the way they live, and the items most important to them.” Summing up her work as classic, curated and current, Wedemeyer has a mélange of projects on the books: two new home builds in Michigan; a local renovation of a 1920s Victorian; a kitchen remodel, and a spring 2019 project in Naples, Florida. “If my clients find their home to be a place of refuge, respite and restoration, then I’ve done my job,” she says.

For most designers, the culmination of their hard work is the favorite part.

Mine is that ‘sweet spot’ near the beginning, when there’s no holding back on collaboration, creativity and pushing the envelope of possibilities.

KATHERINE ELIZABETH DESIGNS

When asked to define luxury, interior designer Katie Wozniak says it’s “the unexpected touch that quietly sets something apart.” Likewise, the same could be said of Wozniak’s approach to interior style. She and her team, at Katherine Elizabeth Designs (KED), begin each project with a single thought or concept—be it a color, an antique or an experience—that means something special to the client. Applying their visionary thinking, the interior takes shape, ultimately capturing the milestones and memories of her clients’ lives in subtle, yet impactful ways. “We pride ourselves on not being style-specific and approach each client with a fresh palette of ideas that will fit their lifestyle,” she says. “What we ‘are’ known for is our work ethic, functional creative solutions and the thoroughness of detail that we bring to every project.”

Whether edgy urban or a more conservative setting—take a completely overhauled medical practice or an ultramodern lake home—Wozniak says it’s not so much about the community as it is the people behind the project and what makes them tick. “Because I understand the inner workings of how homes and businesses are constructed, I feel uniquely positioned to bring a holistic view to projects,” says Wozniak, referring to her experience and education in home building, business and design. “I am blessed to have a talented, roll-up-their-sleeves team with a variety of strengths in the design world.” Throughout KED’s 14 years in business, many achievements have paved the road to success: growing from a oneperson firm to a full-service interior design company; purchasing a new building to create a showroom and gallery in 2018; and many national and international awards along the way.

MOOD | DESIGN + BUILD

Designer Candy Scott’s company, MOOD | Design + Build, is driven by her philosophy that the inextricable emotional response to environment and the people who inhabit these spaces dictate great design. “MOOD came from an integrated foundation, working with clients on their homes and businesses,” she says. “The design and construction process are fundamentally connected, so it’s important for designers to be continually involved in the construction process for the best possible outcome.” Her goal? To facilitate a positive and enlivening mood, with purposeful color, lightness and brightness, symmetry and balance, order and efficiency as the centerpieces of her designs. It’s a feat accomplished through inspiration and client discovery. “My favorite part is the moment when the client and I are on the same page after rounds of dreaming and discussions,” Scott says. “Additionally, a part of the creative process is being inspired through imagery, travel and reflection.” Also key, Scott says, is communication, advising clients to ask a lot of questions; be involved in the process; know the basics of their wish list; then let the designer guide the project toward that end. Throughout its 17 years in business, several key moments have contributed to the firm’s ongoing success: moving from one-room renovations to full, single-family home renovations in Chicago and surrounding suburbs; expanding to work with East Coast clientele; and moving into commercial design and construction. Working with professionals, women, families, small- to medium-sized businesses, and more, Scott describes her clients as “those who hold a high standard for themselves and their experiences.” Layered, interesting, complex—much like the designer herself.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

HOERR SCHAUDT

For landscape architect Douglas Hoerr, nothing is more important than getting to know the microclimates of a site; to work with nature, not against it. “This is fundamental to our creative process,” he says. “We’re practiced at putting ourselves in both the site and the mindset of our clients. Bringing our experience to the process, we can see what a client wants to bring into being, and we use our deep knowledge to create it for them. The beauty of the result is that it will be there for many years, and will always be growing and changing.” In business for nearly 30 years, Hoerr joined forces with Peter Schaudt in 2008, merging to become Hoerr Schaudt and opening locations in Chicago, Los Angeles and Kansas City. “After being competitors for 18 years, we joined forces to connect people to the land in an inspiring way by integrating clients’ needs with the essence of a site,” he says. With Schaudt’s unfortunate passing in 2015, the firm continues to honor his legacy of timeless public and private green spaces, publishing its first book, Movement and Meaning: The Landscapes of Hoerr Schaudt, and broadening its reach across the country and abroad—working in deserts, oceanfronts, along rivers, in pastoral spaces and in the heart of cities. “I’m inspired by the shift that I’m witnessing in America, where people are making the leap from landscaping to place-making,” he says. “Just as farm-to-table food has become part of mainstream culture, the current generation of landscape architects is bringing sustainable outdoor living to everyone. We’re designing spaces that are becoming part of our social fabric. Just like enjoying great food, spending time in nature enriches our daily lives.”

The key to life/work balance is?

I think more about the cyclical nature of things rather than balance. Attuning to the seasons teaches us a lot about living well. There’s a time for everything, and it all comes back around if you wait long enough.

Define luxury?

For me, luxury is a garden that knits together a series of outdoor rooms into a cohesive whole; one that delights from the inside out. It responds to the size, scale and style of a house, and beckons one outside to explore nature.

W

hen the owners of this newly built classic brick residence decided the time had come to upgrade its decor and the furnishings, they called on Lake Forest designer Shelley Johnstone to realize their vision. Admirers of the elegant, timeless work Johnstone had done for a friend of theirs, the couple, who have three young sons and two dogs, “wanted a home the family could live in—a place to make memories,” says Johnstone. So over the course of three years, the designer overhauled the five-bedroom house, incorporating a mix of antiques with new and vintage pieces, prioritizing beauty and livability.

One characteristic of the traditional architecture was a sense of symmetry. “The house is set up on an axis,” Johnstone says. “There’s a kind of ‘T’ pattern, which made the decorating naturally symmetrical—and the wife and I both love symmetry.” Balance, scale and proportion are also important to Johnstone, who got her start designing interiors in London. A distinct European sensibility characterizes her aesthetic, evident here in the use of lacquer on the icy-blue ceiling of the dining room and the cocoa-brown ceiling in the entry, gesso finishes such as that on a bench in the living room, and draperies that cascade from decorative cornices. Even custom throw pillows throughout feature details like cording and Turkish corners.

Johnstone used natural tones throughout most of the home to enhance the views of the lush property. For the butler’s pantry, however, inspired by an exotic bird that was photographed by the homeowner, she infused a pop of color using Benjamin Moore’s Bermuda Turquoise.

“One request the wife had,” Johnstone says, “was for bursts of color here and there.” On the first floor, main living areas and the master bedroom all have outdoor views. The designer chose to draw from nature and the home’s verdant surroundings by working with a palette of ivory, soft cocoa, and pale blues and greens. The peacock marine lacquer in the butler’s pantry is a shade pulled from a beautiful photograph of a tropical bird that the wife took during the family’s travels. Patterns incorporate a floral element, and the use of grass cloth in the foyer, master and other areas is a tactile interpretation of that objective.

When it came to furnishings, Johnstone went for a lived-in feel, purchasing pieces from different eras to bring about a layered effect. The very first thing she bought for the house, from 1stdibs, was the 1970s brass coffee table. “She trusted me from the beginning,” notes the designer, and the vintage table shines in the neutral living room between a taupe velvet sofa and a pair of swiveling, taupe wool chairs. A celadon sideboard with a marble top was a perfect fit—in size, color and patina—for the dining room. Johnstone found it at a dealer in Palm Beach, buried in a corner. “I love the painted pieces mixed with the more contemporary ones,” she remarks.

Hand-painted Fromental wallpaper from Holly Hunt and installed by DiVinci Painters brings natural beauty to the dining room, where a pale-blue ceiling in Breath of Fresh Air by Benjamin Moore adds unexpected glamour. The custom table is from Dessin Fournir, while the chairs and chandelier are from Dennis & Leen. The wool-and-silk rug is by J.D. Staron from Brunschwig & Fils.

A Schumacher grass-cloth wallpaper printed with flowering branches continues the natural theme in the guest bedroom, where the clients’ own nailhead-trimmed dresser imparts a traditional element. Johnstone sourced a brass floor lamp to pair with an existing chair she reupholstered in a Cowtan & Tout stripe. The mirror is by Miles Redd for Ballard Design.

The plaster chandelier in the kitchen, custom by Julie Neill, “is a nod to the French,” in particular the midcentury works done in Paris by the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti.

Working this way can take some time, Johnstone admits, “but the house will look great in 20 years.”

Johnstone’s interiors also consider the needs of a family— not only regarding use, but their contributions as well. In the dining room, the hand-painted Fromental wallpaper was customized by the three boys, who picked out the birds and flowers, even choosing some placements. In the bright white kitchen, which opens to the family room, upholstery on the

chairs and island stools has been laminated with vinyl so they can be easily cleaned. “We didn’t want to compromise on our choices of fabrics,” says the designer. The living room walls and shelves aren’t crowded, either, and for a reason: “This is a young couple,” Johnstone says. “Always leave room for more art.”

Seeing the clients happy is her greatest reward. “I stop by, and they’re all there, enjoying the space,” she says.

She recalls them telling her, “ ‘You’ve made our house a home.’ And that’s what I do. I’m lucky to work with families who appreciate it.”

In the guest bedroom, an Aerin chandelier from Circa Lighting hangs above a custom bed upholstered in Schumacher linen and dressed in Matouk linens embroidered by The Initial Choice.

The black marble fireplace designed by architect Mike Shively and fabricated by builders Howard Dardick and Dave Morris is a focal point for a colorful seating area in the living room of a Lake Shore Drive apartment imagined by interior designers Steve Somogyi and Filip Malyszko. The space features a curvy sofa from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and a pair of chairs

by Bernhardt Interiors. On the back wall hangs a sculpture by Eric Gushee.

A

fter raising their children in a traditional Lincoln Park house with a decidedly beige interior, this pair of empty nesters was ready for a change.

“I wanted to veer off the beaten trail, and we veered,” the wife says, of the couple’s new apartment in a tony 1920s-era co-op overlooking one of Lake Shore Drive’s famous curves. The building and location were perfect, but the unit was at least three decades overdue for an update. So, before they moved in, the couple hired interior designers Steve Somogyi and Filip Malyszko, later adding architect Mike Shively and builders Howard Dardick and Dave Morris to the team.

While the wife embraced a dramatic change—“She wanted to infuse the space with joy,” says Malyszko—the husband wanted to be sure that many of the classic details weren’t lost, most notably the traditional black-and-white marble floor in the gallery-like front foyer. Somogyi and Malyszko paid respect to this with a custom patchwork rug that gives the floor an updated look without sacrificing its old-school glamour. “We felt that within the decoration, we could make that floor read in a really fresh way,” says Malyszko. “The rug flips the color on its head. It’s the same color palette, but with a much more modern stackedrectangle pattern.” The pair then incorporated a low-slung tufted sofa, a modern wing chair covered in cerulean blue velvet and an oversize custom leaning mirror to keep the feeling current without being starkly contemporary.

The foyer leads to an adjoining library and living and family areas overlooking the water and cityscape. To create a smooth flow between the main living spaces, Shively worked with Morris and Dardick to significantly widen the doorways between them. New steel-and-glass sliding doors allow the formal library to be closed off without interfering with the expansive views. “Those doors stand out the most for me,” says Morris. “There’s a nice break between the paneling in the library and the moldings in the living room.”

New white-lacquered accent shelving lends the mahogany wall paneling an updated look. White-painted faux marbling on the mantle completely transforms the formerly green marble fireplace and references the top of the tulip-style table in the corner, while the surrounding chairs upholstered in a cerulean fabric and a cobalt side table are a nod to the lake. “It feels light and almost ethereal,” says Malyszko.

In the adjacent living room, a second fireplace of honed and polished black marble centered on a Venetian plaster wall bump-out makes for a striking focal point while paying homage to the building’s Deco roots. “Playing on that 1920s style was a move throughout the unit,” Shively says, pointing to the plaster’s subtly rounded corners. “As an architect, you’re telling a story.” Malyszko and Somogyi expounded on that narrative. Inspired by the many curves throughout, they brought in a rounded purple velvet sofa and a pair of orange cashmere/wool-blend barrel-backed swivel chairs around a metal-and-glass cocktail table. Silk pillows add another layer. “There’s an ebb-and-flow of textures and colors,” Malyszko says. “The space feels cohesive and considered.” An armless sofa in a neutral fabric creates a 270 / LUXESOURCE.COM

sense of separation from the nearby dining chairs, which are covered in leather dyed a shade of blue inspired by French artist Yves Klein, who famously used it in his work. In place of a single chandelier, rounded pendant fixtures suspended at varying lengths cast pools of light around the room; they’re supplemented by sleek brass floor lamps, brass sconces and a studded white ceramic table lamp.

The 1960s-era kitchen underwent the most extensive renovation in the space. A large walnut island with a rounded base and a thick butcher-block top provides plenty of storage while juxtaposing the white perimeter cabinetry. Shively carved different shapes out of modeling clay before deciding on this form, explaining, “I wanted a brutalist sculptural island.”

Multipoint pendants by Flos from Lightology take the place of a traditional chandelier in the open dining area, which is furnished with a modern dining table by Vanguard Furniture from J. Anthony Designs and chairs by Eurocraft covered in leather from Garrett Leather.

Brass counter stools from Noir Furniture echo the curves in the brutalist-inspired walnut island by Shively. The abstract charcoals on paper are by Doris Rudoff.

In the office, a faux finish by Minnihan Painting completely changes the look of the traditional fireplace mantel and works with the pale furnishings, including a wooden desk by Mr. Brown and lounge chairs from Eurocraft covered in fabric from Holly Hunt.

In the master suite, side tables by Vanguard Furniture from J. Anthony Designs flank the bed, which is dressed in linens by Matouk from Bloomingdale’s.

The ivory tassel lamps are from Arteriors Home and the chair is from Kravet.

Inspired by the quartzite counters that Shively selected, Somogyi and Malyszko incorporated quartzite ceiling lights into the foyer and a brass-and-quartzite pendant light in the powder room, where a boisterous floral wallcovering is accented by a pink-lacquered ceiling. A white plaster mirror evocative of flower petals tipped with gold leaf doubles down on the traditional pattern. “The wife is not a wallflower,” Somogyi notes. “She wanted it to be fun, and we really vibed with her.”

In the master suite the ambience is more serene, thanks to an understated palette of cream, white and soft grays.

“We toned down the colors and made it feel more restful,”

Malyszko says. A bleached-walnut shelving unit holds the TV, which can easily be concealed by a sliding panel clad in a rivet wallcovering. A new steel faux fireplace is a nod to the original one the team removed.

The blend of classic architecture with modern furnishings in bright hues is a hit with the owners, who say it works just as well when it’s just the two of them as it does for large fundraising soirées. And after years of living in a very beige house, the wife especially is enjoying the vibrant design. “It’s all revealed to you as you walk through it,” she says. “It’s a great big happy space.”

In the master suite, custom wall cabinetry in bleached walnut features a sliding panel covered with a studded grass-cloth wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries from Holly Hunt, and a faux fireplace by New Style Cabinets. The custom rug is by Steve + Filip Design from Watson Smith, and the settee is covered in leather from Garrett Leather.

FRESH LOOK AN OIL PAINTER IN PILSEN PRESENTS A SURREALIST VIEW OF THE MOMENTS OF EVERYDAY LIFE.

WRITTEN BY JENNIFER PFAFF SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY BY FRANK ISHMAN

LUXESOURCE.COM / 279

P

erspective is a complex notion to oil painter Jeffly Gabriela Molina. It pervades her work, in terms of both depth of view and subject matter, which consists of people and inanimate objects in ordinary settings. Her color-blocked portrayals of a patterned armchair, a broom propped against a wall or characters in run-of-the-mill situations— eating a sandwich, smelling flowers, taking a selfie—often incorporate geometric elements, patterns and collage, providing a surrealist look at common occurrences. “The work I’m making is precisely about the strategies contained within everyday life,” Molina says. “I want my work to offer people a moment to think of their own lives.”

Molina’s passion for art sprang at a young age.

Born and raised in San Cristóbal, Venezuela, she painted characters from The Flintstones as a child, sought out artistic mentors at age 12 and attended area exhibitions as a teenager. “I would look at artists with such admiration in my heart,” she says. “I really wanted to be that person.”

Her chance came in 2007, when she moved to Miami at age 18 to attend college. She spent two years learning English at Miami Dade College, then studied painting at the New World School of the Arts, also in Miami. With the support of friends, she transferred to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to finish her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2013, followed by her master’s degree three years later.

Although her primary discipline is painting, Molina also studied sculpture. She uses her expertise in this medium to bring dimensionality to her oil paintings. “I started experimenting with optical illusions and ways to make them have more of a presence,” she says. A use of geometry and a structured plan ensure each piece offers a realistic viewpoint.

Pilsen-based artist Jeffly Gabriela Molina, shown opposite in her studio, creates abstract oil paintings of everyday moments, such as Mirror (bottom), an oil-on-linen piece. Books by writers and artists (left), such as Fernando Pessoa and Josef Albers, as well as old family photos (below), provide inspiration.

“THE WORK I’M MAKING IS PRECISELY ABOUT THE STRATEGIES CONTAINED WITHIN EVERYDAY LIFE.”

Molina (opposite) hangs a yellow unfinished painting with inspiration images next to her completed works, which include (clockwise from top) I Miss You; Araguaney, de Donde Vienes, y a Donde te Has Ido?; and El Bello.

Frames, paint and other materials (this page) fill her studio.

From her studio at Mana Contemporary Chicago, inspiration for Molina’s work often begins not with an image, but a sentence. “My sketchbook is filled with lists of words and ideas,” she says. “I call it my ‘archived observations.’ ” Motivation flourishes from digesting the works of writers and poets such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf and Emily Dickinson. “Even if it doesn’t give me a specific idea,” she says, “living in that imaginary place gives me fuel.”

The artist’s latest influence comes from memories her mother and stepfather recall of an earlier Venezuela: clean streets, decorated store windows, order and structure. “I am beginning to create paintings that deal with the notion of a utopia filled with nostalgia of the past or an inaccurate perception of what the future might hold,” Molina says. So far, the works in Fragments of an Imaginary Country portray everyday items such as a folded kitchen towel, a pair of scissors and an exercise weight.

Like the world she paints, Molina has created a storied one for herself in Chicago, where she curates for local galleries and Kavi Gupta carries her work. It’s a reflection of her perspective on what defines a successful painter: “someone who remains genuine to her intentions, continues to learn and is not hindered by the market but finds ways to be supported by it, too,” she says.

“I had to find that balance where I have freedom to experiment.”

A COUPLE DOWNSIZES TO A LINCOLN PARK CONDO BUT TURNS UP THE VOLUME WITH A STYLE RESET. WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING PHOTOGRAPHY BY WERNER STRAUBE

Designer Summer Thornton says the Slim Aarons photograph Giacomo Montegazza provides a “window with a view” in this Chicago condo’s foyer. It hangs above a Bette ottoman purchased at Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. An Hourglass table by Bunny Williams takes center stage atop a rug purchased at the Nomadic Trading Company in Durham, North Carolina, and beneath a vintage Scandinavian light pendant.

P

atty Fox has a rock-and-roll heart. She grew up attending Rolling Stones concerts and met her husband while Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl” played. Once the children were grown, she and her husband, Jim, decided to downsize to a Chicago condo—and that’s where she decided to let her love of music shine. “We wanted to live in a condo because I wasn’t into preserving a large, single-family house that was only full during the holidays,” she explains.

“We found one in a great Lincoln Park location with a large terrace, and I wanted it remodeled with a rock-and-roll spirit.

While we were raising our children, our home was more traditional and calm, but with the kids gone it was time to do something different.” The family hired Summer Thornton because Patty sensed the designer’s fearless use of color and pattern could help make her dream a reality. Thornton

recalls that when she first saw it, “The condo was done in dark colors and, frankly, kind of depressing,” she says. “We wanted to make the space lighter and happy.”

Thornton and her associate, designer Jenny Holladay, decided to manipulate the spirit and proportions of the home with color and new moldings. Throughout, walls were given a fresh coat of white paint. “In addition to reflecting the natural light around the rooms, the color made the space feel chic and young,” she says. Narrow applied molding panels were added to the unadorned walls, and the designers say the resulting lines lift the eye and make the rooms feel taller. This strategy is perhaps most evident in the entry, where the rectangular molding pattern sends one’s gaze toward a ceiling covered with a hand-marbled black, gray and gold wallcovering. Before the remodel, the designers describe the space as “a dim gray box.” With the

In homeowner Jim Fox’s office, a photograph of the Atlantic Ocean by MAE Curates purchased at Modern Art Etc in Los Angeles is flanked by a pair of Dorchester swing-arm sconces from Circa Lighting above a tufted Chesterfield sofa. The stained-oak Langham desk is by Bungalow 5. Thornton designed the octagonal ottoman, which was crafted by Eli-Wyn Upholstery.

The Metrology hexagon-shaped backsplash tile from Home Carpet One provides the kitchen’s rock-and-roll note. The Bertazzoni Heritage Series range was purchased at Grand Appliance. The Darlana light fixtures hanging above the island are from Circa Lighting. A vintage Turkish rug provides a splash of color.

A glamorous tufted banquette designed by Thornton and crafted by Eli-Wyn Upholstery takes the place of a formal dining room in this home. It’s anchored by a table sporting a vintage Pierre Cardin chrome-and-brass base. The black Farrah chairs from Dwell Studio have gold-leaf legs. A 1970s-era Murano glass fixture adds another glittering note. The artwork hanging atop the mirror is Fresh on my Mind by Casey Matthews.

Below, left: Next to the dining area, an abstract painting by Bettina Mauel, The Green Cloth 1, is displayed above an iron side table by Arteriors. Beyond it, Cloud 9 by Nicole Yates hangs beside a Strada sconce from Visual Comfort.

Below, right: Homeowner Patty Fox’s office—a special retreat for her—is outfitted with her own fringed velvet sofa upholstered

by Eli-Wyn Upholstery with Fabricut fabric and Samuel & Sons trim. The wallcovering is

by Phillip Jeffries and serves as a backdrop for a black-andwhite photograph of Versailles.

In the guest bedroom, the Schumacher wallcovering with a bird-and-butterfly pattern is a tribute to the wife’s late mother, who loved butterflies. The metal bed is from Anthropologie and the bed linens are from Serena & Lily. The grasscloth-covered Isadora side table is from Bungalow 5 and the drapes were crafted by Urban Workroom.

LUXESOURCE.COM / 291

The couple brought this beloved bed with them to their new home. Thornton dressed it in Leontine Linens and pillow shams crafted from the same Schumacher fabric that was used for the curtains. She also designed the sofa at the foot of the bed. Mia nightstands from Made Goods hold a pair of Hopkins lamps by Alexa Hampton for Visual Comfort.

addition of the patterned ceiling, a Slim Aarons photograph of Italy’s Lake Como and a bright-green rug, the new vibe is more surprise and delight than dark and dreary.

Given that the couple’s furniture collection was primarily country French, the designers decided a stylistic reset was in order. They jettisoned much of it in favor of colorful pieces, abstract modern art and, in some cases, striking patterns.

“Every room has its rock-and-roll moment,” says Holladay, citing the cheetah-print upholstery on a pair of armchairs in the living room. “They definitely provide the Mick Jagger vibe there.” The back-up musicians in the space are also applause-worthy, including an acid-green sofa, a black-marble mantel with curvy lines, cobalt-blue sconces and an art print depicting none other than Jagger himself.

The adjacent kitchen and dining area’s star attraction is the oversize hexagon-shaped marble tile on the backsplash, whose dark lines evoke a honeycomb. There’s no formal dining room, as the designers and clients opted instead for a large L-shaped tufted banquette. “This used to be a dismal little corner,” remembers Thornton. “But when we added the chic banquette and installed mirrors in the paneled insets, it became cool. And we made sure it’s big enough for the whole family.” A table with a smoked-glass top and a brass base and modern chairs with black-leather seats and brass legs are edgy accents.

For Patty, her personal office is particularly special. The walls are covered with apricot-colored grass cloth, and a coral velvet sofa with a tassel trim is a bold focal point.

“The black-and-white photograph shows Versailles,” says Holladay. “It’s fitting, as Patty is the queen of this room.” That title was a long time coming. “I grew up in a large family, and this is the first time in my life I’ve had my own space,” says Patty. “Orange is one of my favorite colors, and the warm tones here make the office feel comfortable and cozy. This is where I come to listen to music, watch Netflix and meditate. I call it my ‘boudoir,’ and I love it.”

The spirit of personal joie de vivre extends to the outdoors as well, where the designers installed a long

dining table and a more private, fabric-draped seating area they refer to as the “cabana” on the sizable terrace.

“This is a special feature for a condo in an urban area,” notes Thornton. “The winters in Chicago are long, so we wanted them to be able to make the most of their outdoor space during the warm weather.” Patty says they can be found there reading, dining or enjoying a cup of coffee most days during the spring and summer.

For the designers, the satisfaction comes from creating a home that mirrors their clients’ personalities. “Patty and Jim have lively spirits and positive outlooks on life, and we wanted their home to reflect that,” says Thornton.

“This home is vibrant, happy and fun—it’s the perfect environment for them.”

The outdoor spaces were a big draw for the clients as they considered purchasing the home.

To make this small area feel like a cabana, Thornton arranged the family’s own sofa, chairs and tables in a seating vignette on the corner of the terrace and hung outdoor curtains made with Pindler fabric.

Thornton placed the couple’s teak table and chairs on a larger section of the terrace to create an outdoor dining room. During the warm-weather months, the couple and their family can often be found here. But even on the coldest days of winter, Patty says, “Psychologically, it makes a difference just to be able to gaze out over the space, even if it’s covered in snow.”

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