Be inventive. When details are unusual, even subtly unusual, that’s exciting.

“The kitchen is part of the décor of the overall home now. The details, the choices you make for it tell the story of what you love. Get excited about materials, and blend them in interesting ways. Consider open shelving, not just for pots and plates but for pottery and other statement pieces. Bring in artwork. Embrace clean lines, but make it dramatic.

Details can be simple but sophisticated and surprising, too.”

Designer Matthew Patrick Smyth Winner of the 2011 Stars of Design Award for Interior Design

Introducing the New Collection After sixty years at the vanguard of porcelain, Lladró has attained a worldwide reputation for setting trends in home décor. The ongoing quest for excellence that Lladró has aspired to since its inception has made the company a pioneer in the elaboration of porcelain, both artistically as well as in technical processes. That is why, to this day, we still admire pieces created thirty years ago, while at the same time are fascinated by the brand’s new aesthetic paths.

This is precisely the feeling one has when viewing a selection of the best Lladró porcelains, from the mirror and lamp collections, objects for l’art de la table, to the magnificent High Porcelain sculptures. Everything is created in Valencia, Spain, following the entirely handmade process that has earned the brand its welldeserved prestige around the world.

A gift for the senses that reveals the new and exciting look of today’s Lladró.

Maritime-inspired hues and accessories fill a light and airy Delray Beach condo with essences of sea and sand.

Shades of vanilla and espresso imbue a Fort Lauderdale house with sophistication as its exterior speaks to Santa Barbara style.

A Continental couple in Coral Gables seeks a palette of soft colors and transitional furniture that embraces old and new.

Treasured heirlooms cozy up to fresh finds when a designer outfits a Coconut Grove home for herself and her family.

EDITOR’S LETTER

ARTS & DECORATION

W

hile recently browsing an antique shop in Flat Rock, North Carolina, I picked up an issue of Arts & Decoration magazine, circa March 1927. Charmed by its vintage photographs and retro appeal, I took it home to study its content. What insightful words of design wisdom I discovered in its pages.

A few to take note of, and for us design devotees to keep in mind...

On Gardens: “Gardens, like everything else in the world, should be made with imagination as well as knowledge. There must seem leisure in the loveliness—and permanency. In short, beauty of a garden lies in looking lived in, by dreams at least.”

On Room Composition: “It is one thing to be able to make up a pretty color scheme and quite a different matter to bring all the diverse elements of a room together in such fashion as to make a beautiful composition. People live in these compositions; move about in them.

Therefore, they must of necessity be as sound in their structural composition as a group of sculpture and as lovely in their color choice and arrangement as is the work of the painter upon canvas.”

On Architecture: “As American dwellings are built better, more permanently and more beautifully, they will be regarded less as real estate and more as homes, and with that change in attitude, the status of the home as the nucleus of society will approach more closely the older American tradition.”

PUBLISHER’S LETTER

fall.

Welcome to the fall issue of Luxe Interiors + Design South Florida. We’ve had an exciting season! In the last few months, Luxe has had the good fortune to sponsor multiple events and workshops from Miami to Jupiter. It was great to see and mix with so many of our good friends.

In May, Luxe was proud to have sponsored the opening of the new Sunex showroom in Pompano Beach. Many of our industry’s leaders were on hand to wine, dine and feast their eyes on Sunex’s new product lines and programs. We also hosted brand workshops throughout Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties with more than 100 clients in attendance.

The fall is already shaping up as a busy season, as well. Please join us at the Gallery of Amazing Things in Dania Beach on November 7 for the launch of the new Lladró collection.

The following week on November 14, we’ll be at Miller’s Fine Decorative Hardware in West Palm Beach to raise funds for Busch Wildlife Sanctuary.

All of us at Luxe thank you so much for your support. We’ll continue working our hardest to earn it.

IN BLOOM

Situated on historic Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Violetas is a boutique haven for exclusive lines, modern curiosities and one-of-a-kind art pieces.

Born from the creative vision of mother-daughter design duo Patricia Anton Himmel and Patricia Kronfle, the posh shop is bursting with a unique array of distinctive items from brands the likes of Missoni Home, Baccarat, Hermès and Saint-Louis. “This season, we’re thrilled to be showcasing Kelly Wearstler’s new accessories collection,” says Himmel of the designer’s captivating line of stylish accents, shown below. violetashomedesign.com

Created from a series of interconnected geometric shapes with metallic-finished cores, Gabriel Kakon and Scott Richler’s Welles light fixture is a welcome addition to the brothers’ exclusive line of furnishings. Since launching their namesake collection, Gabriel Scott, last year, the architects-turned-designers’ chic set has rapidly expanded—with plans to introduce a similar piece in the form of a sconce—and there are no signs of slowing down. “Our intention was to offer a flexible lighting system that gives decorators a maximum amount of possibilities,” notes Richler. gabriel-scott.com

This December, Ralph Pucci brings his artfully curated collection of contemporary furnishings, artwork and accessories to Miami’s Design District. In regard to the space—which will house Pucci’s distinct products in a warehouse-style gallery—the New York-based furniture designer says he is “looking forward to creating a unique experience for the South Florida design realm,” stating that, “it will merge an artistic sensibility with high-quality design.” Unexpected pieces from designers such as Vladimir Kagan— whose Unicorn Double Pedestal dining table is featured below—will be showcased. ralphpucci.net

Q+A Luxe sits down with Tui Lifestyle’s Jason Atkins to discuss the latest introductions and what’s in store for the Miami-based company.

What is the design mantra at Tui Lifestyle?

To create beautifully scaled furnishings that work both independently and together.

At Tui Lifestyle, neutral tones and modern silhouettes define the brand’s overarching personality. Since President and CEO Jason Atkins’ 2008 launch, the company—which has two South Florida locations—has evolved its metropolitan aesthetic to one that is “more simple, clean and timeless.” A recent partnership with Miami-based furniture and interior designer Michael Wolk further exhibits this transition, with Wolk’s emphasis centered on warm hues and streamlined contours. Scheduled to be released in early 2014, Atkins says “the collection will lend a novel aesthetic to Tui’s existing lines.” tuilifestyle.com; wolkdesign.com

Which piece is your favorite from the Haus collection?

I adore the Verner coffee table (left); its clean lines and elegant scale complement the rest of the fabulous set.

What does the future hold for Tui Lifestyle?

We’re working on creating a second distribution center in New York, which will bring an expedited turnaround time to the Northeast. Our custom options are also expanding, with the introduction of new fabrics and finishes that will work with all of our lines.

DEFINING MOMENT

How would you describe the latest collection?

This fall, we’re thrilled to showcase the Haus collection.

Its midcentury aesthetic was inspired by the simplicity of European design and the architectural conventions of Frank Lloyd Wright.

TRUE STORY

Since its September grand opening, BoConcept’s new Brickell locale has infused the downtown design arena with a healthy dose of classic styling. The New Jersey-based company, which was launched upon the quintessential Danish traditions of simplicity and function, recently released a brilliant assemblage of interior elements that reflect the company’s storied heritage. Boasting clean lines and timeless shapes, BoConcept’s latest introductions—which include the featured Carlton sofa, right, and Tooth footstools, far right—are fully customizable, available in upwards of one hundred unique fabrics and leathers. boconcept.us

COLOR CORRECTED Italian design house Poltrona Frau recently unveiled 11 new sumptuously appointed furniture lines, all of which were inspired by the rich history of luxury automobile and aviation models. Roberto Lazzeroni’s Montera chair is a two-tone design—shown here in camel and turquoise leathers—set atop a rich wengestained ash wood base. Available in a vibrant amalgam of colorways, Montera embodies a sophisticated silhouette, which Lazzeroni achieved via an ardent focus on lightness of form. poltronafrau.com

According to Geoffrey Orley and Bahram Shabahang, an unparalleled design technique— distinguished by a vibrant repertoire of naturally dyed fibers—elevates their eponymous collection of contemporary carpets, which are woven entirely by hand. Founded on the premise of the pair’s mutual passion for Persian weaving, Orley Shabahang introduced its inceptive line of signature floorcoverings—which are available at the brand’s Palm Beach showroom—in 2001.

“We use the finest quality wool from sheep that we breed ourselves,” says Shabahang, who is a descendant of a long lineage of textile experts.

“The knotting techniques are traditional to the villages in which our weavers reside; it’s an art form and a way of life.” orleyshabahang.com

EURO TRIP Anchored by Italian design authorities Baxter, Giorgetti and Riva 1920, Internum’s 9,500-square-foot Design District space stocks an abundance of smart collections displayed in an inspiring series of vignettes. The featured Chester Moon sofa—an iconic piece from Baxter’s collaboration with designer Paola Navone—reveals the innovative nature of the products this tony showroom offers. Also host to a bevy of arresting accents, including an eclectic set of lighting and wall art, Internum is undoubtedly one of the Magic City’s best hidden gems. internum.com

The raw quality and natural allure of Machu Picchu inspired designer Jiun Ho to create his latest furniture collection entitled Jiun Ho IV, a collaborative effort with Peruvian-born textile designer Sandra Jordan. Part of the new line is the Chinchero bench, shown, enveloped in Jordan’s olive-hued Prima Alpaca fabric—a luxurious fiber that was historically implemented by Incan royalty and evokes the ancient heritage of the Andean culture. According to Ho, the bench, which is bestowed with a framework of robust steel, “reflects the magical essence of the royal estate built with eternity in mind.” jiunhodejia.com

^ FRENCH IMPRESSION

According to French-born interior designer Caroline GiraudSukornyk, conjuring an emotional connection to the spaces she orchestrates is a decorator’s ultimate satisfaction. Her ardent passion for curating distinct settings—such as the artfully accessorized bookcase shown here—led her to open her showroom, La Vie en Blanc, last year. “After 17 years in the design field, I began to evaluate myself,” notes Giraud-Sukornyk. “I’ve always been drawn to décor that is neutral yet sophisticated, so I started to curate my own collection.” Met with a welcoming reception, the Fort Lauderdale shop recently moved to a new, more spacious address, two blocks away from its original location. lavieenblanc.net

The deep coral and magentas of a Manuel Canovas fabric captured New York-based designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd and inspired her own narrative.

ENTERTAINING

“I find that many of my clients are attracted to the idea of using color but are fearful in applying it,” Boyd says. “Tabletop is a great way to have fun and experiment with interesting combinations.” The designer chose Anna Weatherley’s goldrimmed charger for its amethyst color and her scalloped white dinner plate for its bright note; the hand-painted Jaune de Chrome dessert dish serves as a complement to both, and the leopard-print Norbar fabric neutralizes the color scheme. Boyd layered Rogaska crystal throughout the smoky purple dining room and added delicate Hermès flatware as jewelry for the table—a play on the literal reference she made with an agate bracelet as a napkin ring. Alongside the fireplace, they make an inviting space even cozier in time for a fabulous fall get together.

FERNAND LÉGER’S ENDURING ART PIECE DEPICTING ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN LIFE INSPIRES AN EXHIBITION ON THE MODERN METROPOLIS.

S

o many modern artists expressed their world through their experience of the street and the changes they were observing in the urban fabric. The modern metropolis was the central symbolic site of modernity.

Léger: Modern Art and The Metropolis—the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s exhibition on the metropolis and the exchanges of influence between Fernand Léger and the artists, architects, filmmakers and poets

of the 1920s international avant-garde in Paris—makes its debut this fall. Running from October through January, the exhibition was inspired by The City (shown here), a formative work in 20th-century art, and one of the core masterpieces in the museum’s collection. “We wanted to focus on the metropolis to show how current modern art’s engagement with the world can be for today’s city dwellers,” notes exhibit curator Anna Vallye. “What’s so remarkable is that the city Léger painted almost 100 years ago is still completely familiar to us today. Of course, cities have changed since then, but there is also something profoundly enduring about Léger’s vision.” philamuseum.org

BON VIVANT

WITH A NEW BOOK CHRONICLING THE RESTORATION OF HIS FRENCH CHÂTEAU AND AN UPCOMING TABLEWARE LINE FOR ROYAL LIMOGES, L.A. DESIGNER TIM CORRIGAN STILL FINDS TIME FOR A LITTLE JOIE DE VIVRE.

IN YOUR NEW BOOK, AN INVITATION TO CHÂTEAU DU GRAND-LUCÉ... Many people think

that classic design is outdated and uncomfortable and I wanted to show that nothing could be further from the truth. Design is a pendulum and while it swings from trend to trend, it always returns to the classical because there is an innate sense of security in it. It is more forgiving, as it accepts that daily accoutrements are a part of our living spaces.

YOUR APPROACH TO DESIGN:

WHEN ENTERTAINING GUESTS…

None of what I do is too studied. I think a flea market treasure can be mixed in with an 18th-century console and you get to appreciate each of them more because of their relationship to one another.

Who wants to live in a room that whispers, “Look, but don’t touch?”

It is important to make them feel as if they are in their own home. I always leave flowers, freshly baked goodies, magazines or books I think they will enjoy and a scented candle in their room to welcome them.

ARCHITECTURAL WHY UNDERTAKE SUCH A PAINSTAKING RESTORATION?

I love the secrets that you find in the stones of old buildings and the challenge of taking something that was designed for a different way of life and subtly transforming it for the way we live today.

FURNISHING THE CHATEAU…

Was a real labor of love and I used an approach that I would advise anyone to: Buy what you love and it will somehow find its proper place.

Clockwise from top: Corrigan’s French estate; Macassar Ebony & Ostrich Egg lamp by TC Home; a seating area of the master bedroom featured in An Invitation to Château du Grand-Lucé; an antique brass fire screen; the designer in his Loire Valley home.

MOST FAVORED

CALIFORNIA VS. FRANCE: For

me, Southern California is all about comfort, casual living and self- expression, but there is just something about the French respect for culture, history and tradition that really resonates with me.

PERIOD: Mid-tolate 18th-century France was such a remarkable time for architecture, because it held the highest level of refinement of the French aesthetic, but it was tempered by the age of enlightenment.

ABC Carpet & Home debuts new mesmerizing colorways to its Aquasilk collection of painterly rugs inspired by the ocean. Handwoven of sari silk, the rugs get their watercolor effect from being overdyed with layers of translucent hues. abchome.com

The inspiration for the handknotted wool and bamboo silk Topo rug by Tufenkian Artisan Carpets began with a topographical image, but as it progressed, the vivid design became more abstract and the name was shortened. tufenkiancarpets.com

Cococozy lends its lifestyle expertise to floorcoverings with an illustrative line for Capel Rugs. Hand-knotted in a Tibetan weave using semiworsted wool and dynamic pigments, the series includes this fun yet sophisticated Loop rug. capelrugs.com

Taking its cues from the distinct craftsmanship and intricate patterns of Mughal latticeworks from the Indian courts of the 18th century, Stark’s latest Tibetan rug features an elaborate motif that beautifully repeats in wool and silk. starkcarpet.com

The majestic garments worn by women in India have been reimagined as Stephanie Odegard Collection’s Sari Lights series of rugs, handknotted on a wool ground using recycled and re-spun yarns from deconstructed saris. stephanieodegard.com

When designer Cédric Ragot conceives an interior accent, such as this ombré rug he created for French atelier Roche Bobois, he perpetually aims to conjure a link between the functional and the conceptual.

“Ponyo was actually one of my first forays into the art of rug design,” says Ragot, adding that he “endeavored to invite a harmonious blend of tones, which in turn, serve to warm up a room.” Featured here in a raspberry-centric scheme, the artfully devised floorcovering is handwoven from sumptuous New Zealand wool.

This season, Kyle Bunting’s effervescent hide-on-hair pattern work collides with South Florida design studio Britto Charette’s penchant for Art Deco architecture. The result is this hourglass stool, which marks the duo’s first venture into the home accessories arena. “I like this piece as a single side table, but it works best when used in multiples,” says Bunting. “The juxtaposition of the warm and tactile hide against the opaque base’s smooth silhouette is nearly the perfect combination of materials and surfaces.”

“This stool’s concentric circles remind us of an age-old tree trunk.

Overall, we adore the clean look, especially after a recent trip to Japan where home décor is pared down and streamlined.”

+ To create the Sorenthia light fixture, Rhode Island-based designer Asher Dunn turned to the marvels of the ocean to find his muse. “I was intrigued by the crystalline nature of sea kelp when seen below the surface of water,” says Dunn, who took a cue from the arresting quality of light shining through the plant. Merging this organic component—by virtue of adjustable arms—with an industrial blend of steel and brass, Dunn introduces a luminous product destined to shine.

In the early 1950s, celebrated Italian architect and furniture visionary Gio Ponti experimented with several models of this exquisite case good. Designated with the simple moniker Chest of Drawers, the time-honored design far exceeds its humble name. Bestowed with a robust elmwood body and an ivory-finished front, the midcenturystyle piece is accented with handles in elm, Italian walnut, mahogany and rosewood, all resting on lustrous brass feet.

What may appear to be a straightforward yet luxuriously appointed chair swathed in a graphite-hued velvet is anything but basic. This plush beauty, a piece from the newly launched Luxury in Motion collection by Edward Ferrell + Lewis Mittman, is also a fully functioning recliner, silently extending at the push of a concealed upholstered button. “The graceful contours of this chair’s frame lend a sartorial element,” says creative director Phillip Jeffries. The jewelry-like Greek key motif at its base is the finishing touch to this well-tailored piece.

“While linear in form, this chair sits in motion. Timeless yet bold, I definitely can envision it in the bedroom of my Milan apartment. The Greek key detailing is an added bonus.”

David Charette, left, and Jay Britto, of interiors firm Britto Charette, have branched out to design a line of modern and glam home accessories under the moniker BC Home. Opposite: The two frequent Miami’s Cvi.Che 105 when in the mood for indulging in Peruvian fare.

STYLE MAKERS

When interior decorators Jay Britto and David Charette began looking to produce a line of high-end accessories for their products brand BC Home, they decided to create pieces that would be considered objets d’art. “We wanted to produce something fresh, new and unseen, and make it modern,”

Handcrafted of porcelain and accented with a 24-karat gold sheen, the creature-inspired Piku vases from BC Home’s Wasi collection offer a playfully modern aesthetic.

says Britto, who works in tandem with Charette out of their Fort Lauderdale and New York offices. The eclectic line of vases, paperweights, trays, stools, accent pillows and rugs have a collectible, heirloom quality that promotes longevity and a multigenerational appeal. “We’re hoping to say, ‘Don’t throw these away.’ We want them to be collected, gifted and kept,” explains Charette, who likens their porcelain pieces to derivative silhouettes of traditional Peruvian pottery. Crafted by artisans in Peru and steeped in Incan culture, the triple-fired, unglazed shapes are meant to be iconic, unique and glamorous—a nod to the pair’s signature design ethos. “Our imagination is our playground,” says Charette. “With it you can go anywhere, and that’s what these designs allow us to do.” bchomeusa.com; 954.533.9748

JAY BRITTO & DAVID CHARETTE DESIGN AND ART ICONS:

JB: Hands down Zaha Hadid for architecture, and for product design, Antonio Citterio.

DC: Otto Wagner, Louis Kahn, Japanese woodblock prints, Art Deco architecture and Renzo Piano’s Shard skyscraper in London.

DREAM DINNER PARTY:

JB: Dining on a yacht in the middle of nowhere with David and pop stars Madonna and Andy Bell.

GREATEST INDULGENCE:

JB: Going to Cvi.Che 105 in Miami. I love the way the chef presents classic Peruvian dishes with a modern U.S. fusion twist.

I ALWAYS CARRY:

DC: A Bosch DLR130K laser measurer, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, Alain Mikli reading glasses and Terre d’Hermès cologne.

CURRENT COLLABORATIONS:

DC: We launched the Faceta collection of rugs with Kyle Bunting at this year’s ICFF, and we’re finalizing plans to have carpet designs, home accessories and furniture pieces coming out each quarter to parallel fashion. We’re also working on a chair design with Baltus to be unveiled during Art Basel.

“Being in the fashion industry honed my sense of style and attention to detail,” says Sara Colombo, former model and the founder of design boutique Nest Casa. “The traveling it required also developed my aesthetic.” These experiences, along with having lived in Paris and London, stood Colombo

With a shapely bronze base and a striking top lacquered and finished in a glossy varnish, the Onde console is indicative of the glamour found in the Pinto Paris line at Nest Casa.

in good stead when she renovated her own home—the 1926 Carl Fisher estate—with husband Ugo. “The furnishings were shipped from Italy, and the concept for Nest Casa was born,” she says about her 2,400-square-foot showroom in the Miami Design District that carries European furnishings sold primarily to the trade. But there are also lines exclusive to Nest Casa, such as Pinto Paris, the brainchild of the late Alberto Pinto. This collection sells in numbered limited editions, bridging furniture and art, and supporting her vision for her shop. “Good home design is about taste and lifestyle, but it must include timeless pieces,” says Colombo, who also recently opened an accessories-focused location in Bal Harbour. “My philosophy is to invest in beautiful objects that will stand the test of time.” nestcasa.com; 866.726.6546

W O R L D T R AV E L E R

SARA COLOMBO DESIGN ICON:

Muriel Brandolini. She is a self-taught designer with eclectic taste. Architect Peter Marino is another person I admire, though very different in aesthetic; he is constantly evolving and using unique materials.

FAVORITE HOTELS:

The Ritz Paris. I love the tradition and the old Parisian style. I am curious, and a little nervous, to see the renovated Ritz. I also adore the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc—there is nothing like the French Riviera.

I ALWAYS CARRY:

By Terry Baume de Rose, my iPad, La Roche-Posay sunscreen SPF 60 and pictures of my kids.

GREATEST INFLUENCES:

My husband has a great eye for detail.

And I’m often inspired by women with amazing style and substance, like Jackie O, Coco Chanel and Christy Turlington.

DREAM COLLABORATION:

I would love to work with Karl Lagerfeld and design a home collection.

nature, there is an innocence about it,” explains Nievera. “It’s different than buying a 17th-century commode.” In the designer’s own home, grass takes the spot of an Oushak rug, Murano chandeliers are swapped for dimly lit lanterns, and silver Lamium leaves add a metallic glint.

“There’s no agenda in landscape design,” says Nievera. “It’s more about the simple pleasure of enjoying the outdoors.” Sharing in his clients’ pure unadulterated happiness is what makes him tick. Whether he is working on the vast gardens of a Palm Beach home inspired by Marie Antoinette’s hamlet or a detailed Zen-like terrace in New York City, his objective remains the same: “I always try to bring back the notion of beauty.” nieverawilliams.com; 561.659.2820

MARIO NIEVERA WORDS OF WISDOM:

Always check the soil. Certain plants have specific nutrient requirements and the content of the soil, whether clay or sand or alkaline, should align with those needs.

FAVORITE DECORATING SOURCES:

Amelia’s SmartyPlants in Lake Worth and Marders in the Hamptons for plants. For garden antiques, Fleur and Treillage in New York. Seibert & Rice for Italian terra-cotta pots. And Pennoyer Newman makes gorgeous resin containers that look like lead.

DEFINING MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER:

When I wrote my book, I had the exciting experience of reminiscing about how I got to where I was, and thinking about where I was going. I believe everyone has a book inside of them—a story to tell.

WORK APPROACH:

A sensitivity to the site and our solution to the design being scaled appropriately.

DREAM COLLABORATION:

I feel that by simply working in my industry, I’ve had that. And I’m living it now. Every day is a new experience. I always think to myself, I’m so lucky that I’ve been able to work with so many amazing people.

STYLE MAKERS PHOTOGRAPHY

“It doesn’t make sense to put something between me and what I’m looking at,” says Tim B. Wride, William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of Photography at the Norton Museum of Art, when asked if he himself likes taking pictures. A surprising response, but for this Renaissance curator it’s what an artist sees and thinks when capturing a photo that interests him instead. “It’s a very subjective,

intellectual place,” he says. New to the Norton after 14 years at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Wride has organized many groundbreaking exhibits and added 300 works to the museum’s 3,500-piece photography collection.

Through his acquirements of such photos by Minor White, Sophie Calle and Christopher Bucklow, Wride is an art force to be reckoned with. When it comes to what catches his own eye, though, objects are his main focus. “I look at the objects in pictures and what questions they initiate,” he says. “If the questions keep coming, then I know it’s of interest.” This conversational style continues in the way he displays. “I like to create communication between the art and the audience,” he says. It’s artistic dialogue at its finest. norton.org; 561.832.5196

B E YO N D T H E L E N S

TIM B. WRIDE HOW I GOT STARTED:

I took a general survey art history course in college with an amazing teacher, Dr. David Bershad, who opened my eyes in a way I never thought possible. I remember the day that I had my epiphany at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.

CURRENT PROJECTS:

I just finished installing Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother as part of the Norton Museum of Art’s Masterpiece of the Month program and will be working on a Polaroid show that will open in December.

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ OR HELMUT NEWTON?

I’m in awe of image makers who access a vision that is uniquely their own, and both of these photographers are in that category.

But if there was one that I would really enjoy a beer with, it would probably be yet another talent, the early 20th-century pictorialist Fred Holland Day. He had a messianic zeal about him that interests me.

BEST ADVICE I’VE RECEIVED:

Look deeply, look again, look one more time, and now look some more.

etting out to renovate the kitchen of their cottage-style home in New Canaan, Connecticut, a couple didn’t have to search too far for their muse. With Dutch and Belgian heritages, respectively, the husband and wife instinctively harked back to the enchanting

aesthetics for which their native lands are revered. “We wanted to make sure that we retained a very cozy, vintage European vibe, like that of an old bakery, for instance,” homeowner and designer Tessa Neleman-Pimontel explains.

Another check off their wish list was to keep the space open (notice the pared down cabinetry; the simple ceramic subway tiling by the Bertazonni hood and stove; uninterrupted counter space), organized and flooded with light while retaining a sense of genuineness. “This kitchen adds an instant feeling of authenticity to our home,” she says. “It works out well as an open space time together. Every afternoon, the low-setting sun pours in, which adds to the whole mood we were aiming to capture.”

“

We were lucky to find the elements needed to achieve the style we had in mind all along of European elegance with an artistic bohemian flair.

DISPLAY TYPE Opting for limited upper cabinetry, the Nelemans had to search for alternative answers to de rigueur storage questions. “The idea of the hutch was always in our minds, but it only came to fruition after we found the right pieces,” Tessa notes. “Nearing the final stages of the renovation, we took a trip to Mexico. We knew what we were looking for, but were very surprised when we found it in an old hardware store. We fell in love with the huge hutch and bought it right there and then.” To balance the rustic nature of the towering case, the homeowners kept it simple. “We like white as a base, but there are many touches of Delft and even Guatemalan earthenware in the mix. The key is to make sure that whatever is visible is positioned well (handles all turned the same direction, everything evenly spaced) and to edit, edit, edit. Keep only what you really need and use often.” For additional visual variety, they encircled the antique Swedish farm table with steel bistro chairs from Vagabond Vintage in Atlanta.

sure that my client used every square inch of her home, and that each space met her needs and represented who she was,” Stanley says. The resulting bathroom is a study in simple elegance, and the impact of letting just a few statement pieces have their moment in the spotlight: a sinuous freestanding Waterworks tub entices a leisurely soak; dreamy draperies in a blush tone coyly flirt with a coquettish portrait of Marilyn Monroe; two-tone marble floors are striking yet feel as if they’ve always been there; and finally, the crown jewel of the room, a polyhedron chandelier Stanley sourced from JF Chen in Los Angeles that would get the most pragmatic person’s pulse racing.

“

A luxurious bathroom always needs enough room for two people and beautiful materials such as marble and stone. It should feel as if you’re in a grand hotel.

CLOTHES QUARTERS What’s a designer to do when a client’s existing closet space simply isn’t sufficient for their wardrobe? Well, you relocate the master bedroom and transform the remaining space into a dressing room fit for a Rodeo Drive boutique, of course. “I like to think of closets as a fun playroom for women, so I try to make them big enough where you can have friends come over, hang out and play dress up,” Stanley says. “This typically calls for a seating area.” The designer brought in a custom chaise that offers her client (and her client’s fortunate guests) a place to sit and ponder the day’s sartorial decisions, while an antique rug from Lawrence of La Brea complements sleek custom cabinetry. “This is one of my favorite designs I’ve done,” Stanley says. “It’s every woman’s dream.”

As far back as he can recall, residential lighting has played an integral role in Eric Lebersfeld’s life. What began as a tiny lighting store in 1924 thrives today, four generations later, with Lebersfeld helping to lead the way as president and chief marketing officer. Together with his brother Ken Lebersfeld, CEO, and a terrific team, Capitol Lighting continues to make homes and lives brighter every day with an incomparable selection of lighting, fans and home furnishings. The company embraces a “WOW” customer service attitude to ensure its customers are delighted during the entire shopping experience. Lebersfeld credits the longevity of his family business to their passionate and dedicated employees who inspire confidence and earn the trust of their customers.

What is one thing your clients would be shocked to know about you?

I host an online talk show called CLIC (Capitol Lighting Interactive Content).

We showcase innovative products and interview top influencers from the design community.

What projects have brought you the most satisfaction and why?

We support Habitat for Humanity and I sit on their board of directors. With the help of our spokesperson, Rob Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, we have donated more than $100,000 this year.

What are your favorite hobbies?

I love racquetball and tennis, which help me stay in shape so I can keep up with my two children. I also enjoy video creation and writing.

What do you like most about your job?

My brother Ken, our CEO, and I share an office in our Boca Raton showroom.

Ken and I work hard and we take our mission seriously, but never a day goes by without several good laughs, and ending with a hug goodbye.

GHADA DERGHAM

My business has grown nationally with the home improvement shows I have been involved with on the DIY Network and HGTV. The clients’ desires and needs are my priority, and I believe that shows in my passion for my work.

JUPITER ISLAND LANDSCAPE, INC.

PO Box 4500  Tequesta, FL 33469  561.741.1000 office@jupiterislandlandscape.com  jupiterislandlandscape.com Ghada Dergham, a well-known Palm Beach outdoor living designer, has a passion for the outdoors and a deep appreciation for Mother Nature’s abundant offerings. She has created countless private and public oases throughout the world. “Gardening has been in my life since I was a child,” says Dergham. “My mother had the greenest of thumbs, and she was my inspiration to become a landscape designer and gardener.” More than 15 years ago, Dergham founded Jupiter Island Landscape, Inc. with the objective of achieving functionality, sustainability and elegance in each outdoor space. With a portfolio of accomplishments, Dergham successfully fulfills her design objectives time and time again.

“For me, to bring all of these elements together and provide my clients with a lifestyle that fits their needs is the ultimate influence in my work,” says Dergham.

“There is nothing more gratifying than a call from a client who is falling in love with a spectacular, new bloom in their garden.”

Juicing is an important part of my life. It's the core of who I am and puts me in the right frame of mind.

Is your work easily recognizable?

Why or why not?

2.

What do you like the most about your job?

I love everything about my career, especially the process of taking the design from concept to completion.

I am hands-on, and I truly enjoy playing in the dirt.

3.

What do you strive to create when you are working on a project?

What is most important to you?

I strive to create my clients’ vision with inviting elements that will make them want to live in their outdoor space. My objective is to bring families and friends together to enjoy their outdoor living space.

4.

What project has brought you the most satisfaction and why?

A VIP cabana for the show Mancaves on the DIY Network at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. This was a gratifying project because it is a public venue for people from around the world to enjoy!

5.

Describe the philosophy of your firm.

My philosophy has always been: Follow your passion, not the almighty dollar.

With passion for your work comes success. With success comes fortune.

I love feeding my family’s and friend’s souls through a delicious, entertaining and healthy meal; the special moments are priceless.

I cannot describe the sense of tranquility I receive from diving in the ocean. It's truly a magical experience.

JOE LUCAS

ENTRÉZ-VOUS INTERIOR DESIGNER JOE LUCAS WORKED HIS DESIGN MAGIC, CREATING A GRAPHIC GALLERY WALL WITH PAPERS ENVISIONED AS WORKS OF ART.

Los Angeles designer and one half of Harbinger LA, Joe Lucas created an entryway to remember using the sleekest fall wallcoverings. A “sucker for a salon-style wall,” Lucas began his dynamic scene with artist Sharon Lee’s debut line as his anchor. “The chic gray-and-saffron combo of Lee’s Chrysanthemum design caught my eye instantly,” he says. Building from there, Lucas approached many of the papers as he would art. “Kelly Wearstler’s provocative new Crescent design is a recent obsession, so it needed to be framed. And the sculptural Weitzner paper lent itself to being floated in an acrylic box, earning the focal point position in the space.” From a Holland & Sherry-clad flowerpot and a Wearstler-wrapped lampshade to an Innovationsupholstered stool, Lucas reveals that wallpaper knows no boundaries.

Naturally lured by wallcoverings that possess an assured straight-lined disposition, interiors devotee Sara Ruffin Costello unexpectedly found herself swept away by the season’s more abstract offerings.

“I was drawn to patterns that appear out of focus; especially those peachy, warm tones,” she explains. “They feel less expectant than chevron or stripes (which I love) that continue to pop up each year.” After reveling in a veritable trove of papers, Costello sought to create a sunburst, turning to London-based moldings manufacturer Solomon & Wu for a bit of architectural encouragement.

“The plaster moldings were a structured counterbalance to the loose, dreamy quality of the papers, and the dynamic sunburst shape has an artistic character to it, like a patterned color wheel.”

PHILIP GORRIVAN

CASE STUDY GEOMETRICS AND BOLD PRINTS WERE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS SOPHISTICATEDLY CLAD BOOKCASE ORNAMENTED

BY INTERIOR DESIGNER PHILIP GORRIVAN.

“There is so much to be excited about when it comes to wallpaper,” exclaims New York-based interior designer Philip Gorrivan, who’s heralded his longstanding love affair with the material throughout his design career. His studious composition began with an unadorned bookcase that, according to the designer, left much to be desired. Presented with the latest lines, Gorrivan cloaked the back of the shelves with a subtle yet striking Farrow & Ball stripe and developed groupings of covered books in stylized vignettes, each layer telling its own story. “Dedar’s new boldly hued geometrics alongside Clarke & Clarke’s punchy floral patterns

“I tend to gravitate toward geometrics or patterns that aren’t so directional. I love products that are fearlessly gutsy. It’s fun to create a little tension in a space by introducing a wallpaper that appears to completely break all the rules.”

ONE D+B MIAMI

WHAT ARE THE KEY INFLUENCES IN YOUR WORK TODAY? Our influence comes from the elements of life outside the realm of architecture.

Sustainability, technology, simplicity and unique materials inspire us.

WHAT IS YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? After speaking with and understanding our client and the project, we spend a large portion of our time brainstorming and problem solving. Not until that ‘a-ha’ moment do we move forward to execution.

HOW DO YOU DEFINE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT? The longevity of our design impacts the success of each project. But most importantly, our satisfaction comes with realizing the favorable impact we’ve had on the way our clients live.

For more than 18 years, Hugo Mijares, principal of One D+B Miami, has parlayed his talent and passion as an artist into one of South Florida’s leading boutique architecture and design firms. With a global reach spanning from Miami to South America to Saudi Arabia, the Caribbean and beyond, One D+B Miami has earned a worldwide reputation for its exploration of ideas, materials, light and spatial clarity, all balanced by the principles of intelligence and simplicity. “We have a very inclusive approach to design and architecture,” says Mijares. “By including specific inputs and knowledge from outside the field of architecture and design we are able to manifest the demands of our clients into physical form.” Mijares’ creative process is launched only after establishing a healthy dialogue with his clients, which continues effortlessly throughout each project, resulting in friendships built on trust and respect for a shared penchant for groundbreaking design. While simplicity is the common thread in each project, One D+B Miami embraces the individualistic requirements of each site and client. When it comes to the materials and techniques used by the firm, what some may classify as ‘creative,’ Mijares simply considers fun. “In the end, I hope my clients see both myself and my team as unafraid professionals who genuinely love what they do.”

We are still under construction of this 5,600-square-foot concrete residence located in the heart of desirable Palm Island, Miami.

A perfect example of luxury envisioned by our client but designed and executed by the One D+B team in this Portofino luxury apartment in Miami Beach.

This full interior architecture and design project achieved a simple, modern elegance that does not distract from magnificent views of South Florida sunsets.

“Good design is for good clients. Ultimately, our clients define the success of our work.”

–HUGO MIJARES, PRINCIPAL

Spontaneity is our chance to have fun and be creative. A pop-up shop like this one, Kartell at Addison House in Aventura, is a prime example.

TRI-TECH CONSTRUCTION

WHAT ARE THE KEY INFLUENCES IN YOUR WORK TODAY? Each dream home we create derives its influence from the input and expectations of our clients. We simply make it all a reality.

WHAT LED YOU TO YOUR CURRENT PROFESSION? The potential satisfaction of creating something that could possibly exist centuries from now was always intriguing.

Add the privilege of providing families with beautiful homes that house fond memories, and there is no better profession.

HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR CLIENTS WOULD CHARACTERIZE YOU? While our clients characterize our work by the level of quality and detail, we also develop strong personal relationships with our clients that transform into friendships.

South Florida’s residential landscape thrives on an abundance of knowledgeable homeowners with an intuition for the epochs of global architecture and design. Impressing an audience such as this one presents a challenge to the most seasoned builders. Sergio Velikopoljski and Steve Soto, of the Miami area’s premier custom home and commercial builder, Tri-Tech Construction, have consistently impressed since launching the firm in 1989. “Our ability to achieve success has always relied on strict attention to one-to-one client relationships and extraordinary focus on quality and detail,” says Soto. Nearly 20 years ago, Velikopoljski welcomed the partnership of Soto after collaborating on a successful project. Since then, collaboration, communication and personable builder-client relationships have become the company’s forte. Tri-Tech collaborates extensively with some of the country’s best architects and designers to deliver the latest in technology, materials and detail, teaming decades of hands-on experience with inspired innovation. By paying close and personal attention to the vision and dreams of its clients, Tri-Tech translates expectations into highest quality construction, built specifically for each client, their families and future generations. “The strong personal relationships we develop with our clients, many of whom come to consider us friends, truly define our purpose.”

Old-World craftsmanship blends seamlessly with new technology in this decadent media room. Rich materials like American walnut and exceptional millwork are paired with a center table offering touch-screen controls for the entire house.

The rear of this featured Tuscan home in Ocean Reef Club accentuates the luxury of its pool with mosaic tiles and exceptional-quality stonework with real coquina stone on the balustrades and columns.

INTERIORS BY STEVEN G

WHAT IS YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? I’m not sure if there is a process. I think the word is vision: walk the space, feel the space and envision the balance of the space. Then proceed in making selections to best suit the project.

WHAT ARE THE KEY INFLUENCES IN YOUR WORK TODAY? What influences our work is definitely and definitively our client. When designing, you need to be savvy about your client’s needs and lifestyles as well as their desires.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON NEXT? Work never stops! It’s a 24/7 process.

We’re getting ready to do a project in Puerto Rico; the Bonaventure Hotel & Spa; and an amazing twin-tower project in Coconut Grove as well as residential projects between Florida and New York.

Everyone knows of Steven G.—or, at least they should. Long synonymous with sophistication, glamour and luxury, the design firm has enjoyed a prosperous 30-year history adorning the homes of the country’s most discerning homeowners; and it shows no signs of slowing down.

The eponymous design firm, Interiors by Steven G. Inc., has created a new niche in the market where luxury meets affordability. “The industry knows us as a high-end design firm, but what they don’t know, is that we have been doing, what we call, popular price products,” says Steven.

“We determined that after successfully completing 100 total turnkey one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for several developers, we would take our concept to the public.” The concept is this: a showroom teeming with elegant, contemporary furnishings that are, above all, attainable. With an anticipated grand opening on September 1, 2013, NOW by Steven G. will be located next to Steven G.’s esteemed 100,000-square-foot showroom in Pompano Beach, Florida. “We feel that this new showroom concept will be so successful, we’re going to open another one in South Miami,” enthuses Steven. A debt-free company, with a team of 70 under its roof—from architectural lighting experts to interior designers—Interiors by Steven G. has achieved tremendous success through its extraordinary ability to change. “A professional athlete and his wife recently sought out our design services, and I asked them why they decided to work with us,” he shares. “They said: ‘We’ve seen a lot of your work, and it is all different.”’ In three decades, Steven G. has remained loyal to the principle of never repeating a design. “People who are investing a lot of time and money into their home do not want what every one else has—they want a unique environment.”

The color palette is based on a copper accent color and becomes deeper in the great room, paler in the master bedroom and intense in the secondary bedroom. The copper is set against a shadowy green color and played against strong purple.

Spaciousness is achieved through floating drywall and custom millwork details, with a glow of LED lights. Glass and mirror are used with white lacquer to create furniture that is unlike anything found in the marketplace.

This custom residence at the St Regis in Bal Harbour is light, bright and spacious, with cutting edge, angular detailing. At the same time, it is soft and comfortable.

“Lighting and artwork are the keys to success in any home—furniture is the accent only.”

–STEVEN GUROWITZ, PRESIDENT

In this powder room, a custom marble cube vanity was designed by Steven G., fabricated from a hand-picked slab of Rojo Kristel marble, which continues the copper color scheme. The marble cube is suspended on a mirrored wall, without any visible support.

Custom upholstered pieces have been designed to be sculptural features in the rooms.

The white bed in the master bedroom is a one-of-a-kind piece that stretches lengthwise, incorporating a sleek bench at the end of the bed.

he first thing a Canadian couple did after purchasing a 1960s Delray Beach condo overlooking the ocean was to strip the space down to its columns and bare structure.

In place of its aging interiors and walled-off rooms,

designers Allison Paladino and Zita Rudd, architect Mark Marsh and builder Phillip Maragos created an open plan that brings natural light deep into the space. “When they open the door, they undoubtedly know they are in Florida at the beach,” says Paladino.

The homeowners challenged Paladino and Marsh to design a crisp, modern space enlivened by color. Inside, a blend of clean-lined furniture, tactile surfaces and eye-catching artworks complete the cozy yet contemporary feel. A minimal but warm scheme marked by Paladino’s palette of blues and whites, along with marine-inspired accessories, allows sea, sand and sky to take center stage. “They really wanted to open it up, because it has magnificent views of the ocean and downtown Delray Beach,” Marsh says. “We elevated an ordinary unit to a much more airy, gracious and contemporary design.”

In the foyer, Christina Major’s Shelly hangs over a bench custom-fabricated by Hamlin Woodworks. The blue hues tie into the nearby living room’s Giorgetti chairs from Carriage House and the area rug, originally designed for Edward Fields in the 1950s. Limestone, Inc. installed the off-white Simena stone flooring.

A corner of the guest room features chenille swivel chairs from Jolo Enterprises paired with an Eileen Gray table from Design Within Reach, as well as Kravet drapery fabric from Jack Walsh Trade Showroom and a peek at Toni John’s painting from JF Gallery.

A ceiling recess adds depth to the dining area and delineates it from the kitchen, giving way to a Jolo Enterprises pendant, a maple dining table from Eric Brand in Burlingame, California, and Anziano chairs from Donghia wearing Cowtan & Tout fabric. Windows were replaced with ones from Innovative Window Concepts.

C O N T I N U E D F R O M P A G E 270

In addition to moving rooms and altering the ceiling detail, the construction also had to address architectural challenges, for which the team often employed a counterintuitive strategy of adding rather than trying to disguise. In the kitchen, for example, two columns at the center island were straddled with a lighting canopy and wrapped

in stainless steel, almost like sculptural pieces anchoring the space.

“I’ve learned your restrictions can often become your best assets,” says Maragos. “I do a lot of condo renovations and have had that occur over and over. ‘What are we going to do with this column or beam or window?’

It forces you to put so much thought into it that it becomes a feature.”

To complement the soft white of the limestone floors, as well as the golden hue of the maple cabinetry and the custom maple dining room table, Paladino selected a blue tone that is used throughout the space in different gradations. A pair of coffee cup swivel chairs enlivens the guest room, while a striking blue-tinted painting in the foyer gives way to the living room’s hand-tufted area rug paired with Giorgetti swivel chairs that recall seashells. “I gravitate toward those chairs in the main LUXE INTERIORS

The custom master bed wears pillows covered in Cowtan & Tout fabric and Piega twill bedding from Donghia. Baker lamps top bedside tables that are part of Allison Paladino’s collection for EJ Victor. Mary Lou Siefker’s art above the bed adds color to the room along with another piece by Major on the wall.

For an unconventional touch in the sea and sand-inspired master bath, a custom curved wall covered in glass tiles was created by turning the Americh tub upside-down and tracing the outline of its upper rim.

room,” the owner says. “Actually, the whole family does. We selected them for their style, but I’m amazed at how comfortable they are.”

Befitting the ocean landscape, so much of the home seems to float over the surface, be it the swivel chairs throughout or the bed in the master bedroom that rises a few inches off the carpet. Here, Paladino custom-designed a pair of cantilevered zebrawood bedside tables, with two tiers that rotate and open in different directions. “I think that it happened subconsciously, but it’s really effective,” she says.

“The neutral palette—the consistency of these off-white tones we used—nothing feels very heavy in this apartment. The nightstands are probably a little more grounding, but the fact that they’re askew helps them feel more like sculpture.”

All told, the oasis over Delray Beach gives its owners a tranquil home to retreat to during Canadian winters. “We kept telling Allison the word ‘Zen,’ meaning we wanted a serene and uncluttered sort of feel,” the homeowner says. “Life’s busy, and this condo is our getaway from the snow and the usual pace of life.” L

f, as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, the one interior designer Marci Varca sent prospective clients in Fort Lauderdale spoke volumes about how perfect she was for the job. “When we interviewed Marci, I described a

picture I’d seen in a magazine of a kitchen I liked,” the wife recalls.

“Later, she sent me that exact picture in an e-mail. I thought, ‘She knows me. It’s meant to be.’ ” For the client, the defining element of that kitchen was what it lacked. “It was open, with minimal walls,” Varca says. “The owner wanted the same open feeling for her own residence—a gourmet kitchen where she could entertain, and each of the public rooms connected through delineations and not walls. The challenge was to make the delineations flow from formal to informal spaces without jarring transitions.”

Architect Robert Tuthill’s experience with the clients began with photographic references, as well. Having been recommended by a mutual friend, they showed up at his office with photos of five houses in the area that they admired. “Three of them were ours,” Tuthill says, laughing. “So we knew that we could dial in on what sparked their interest.”

symmetrical and unsymmetrical.” Interpreting her comments to mean she wanted something “on the edge of traditional,” he designed a modern two-story structure with Spanish-style details (think arched windows and white stucco walls) and stretched it along the 125-foot-wide waterfront site on the Intracoastal in a way that best captured views of passing boats. Landscape architect George Keen devised a clean-lined, manicured tropical oasis to complement the exterior.

Inside, the layout was driven by the open-plan concept. Entry is through a rotunda-style foyer that features a 32-foot-high ceiling and showcases the husband’s glassed-in 3,000-bottle wine cellar. Beyond that, the rooms are sized to a more livable scale. Indeed, “it’s where formal meets informal,” says Tuthill, whose designs were implemented by the late Jack Farji of Lighthouse Custom Homes. “The dining room bleeds into LUXE INTERIORS

the family room, which bleeds into the kitchen. It’s very porous.” The interior’s clean lines are underscored by the highly finessed espresso and vanilla color scheme (another specific request from the client) that appears throughout the home’s furnishings and finishes.

To define each room, creative millwork was used, including intricate ceiling details and subtle room transitions with soffits or mahogany columns and beams. Varca utilized diamond-cut limestone with Calacatta gold marble inlays and chocolate limestone borders to create detailed flooring designs in certain areas, including the dining room, where a custom walnut and polished nickel table stands atop a tile “rug.” In this vein, the master bath features glass tile mosaic floors and walls.

Throughout the house, elegant yet comfortable furnishings, such as custom living room sofas and chairs, a leather loveseat in the upstairs study and a plush chaise in the master bedroom, soften the effect.

Custom lighting, including a Swarovski crystal and polished nickel chandelier in the dining room and a four-pendant, 82-inch-long fixture over the kitchen island, adds a touch of sparkle and bling.

When all was said and done, the success of the home, which the wife attributes to the efforts of her dream team, comes from how well it works as a sanctuary for her and her husband and their two boys—and for entertaining. “When guests come, they say staying at the house is like staying at a resort,” she says. “It’s a really nice compliment.” L

t started as a simple decorate and paint job. The new owners of a Coral Gables house just steps from the water wanted to freshen things up, so they brought in interior designer Vincenzo F. Avanzato for a meeting. He walked through the Mediterranean-style residence,

chatted with the couple in French and Italian, asked questions—and listened. Striking a chord with the homeowners, they were off and running with an extensive renovation instead.

Bringing light into the interiors topped the early to-do list. “The windows were covered in wrought iron, and no light penetrated the house,” explains Avanzato. “Our first objective was to get rid of it. That enabled us to see more clearly.” An antique Neapolitan door he discovered inspired both the home’s entry door and the plan for the redesigned balustrade, keeping an element of decorative ironwork to respect the traditional architecture but lightening up its effect to make it feel more modern.

For the furnishings, Avanzato says, “I took them on a tour to see what they liked, and it actually exposed what they didn’t like.”

He discovered that a strictly contemporary look was out—but so too were spaces dominated by antiques. Instead, in keeping with the clients’ Continental heritage, the interiors reflect, he says, “European tendencies but done with a very young and vibrant taste.” In practice, it means clean-lined tables and case pieces that

mix comfortably with the softer profiles of upholstered chairs and sofas. Nothing is stuffy nor is it harsh.

Color, too, tempers the balance between contemporary and traditional.

“They wanted the house to be happy, welcoming. It was not meant to be drab and certainly not meant to be dark,” Avanzato says. “I selected Mediterranean colors like pinks and lavenders. They’re not supposed to be strong and saturated.” The hues, in the fabrics and in the painted touches, such as the soft blue on the library’s cabinetry, liven things up rather than overpower and recall Florida sunsets.

Avanzato, who worked with architect Adan Fons to execute permits and construction documents, brought in contractor Lawrence P. Cook to implement what were initially cosmetic changes. As the scope of the project grew, Cook’s role expanded along with it. “One thing led to another,” the builder explains. “It was a matter of seeing how the

home would be used.” For example, it became clear that extra guest space would be needed, so Cook and his team executed a second-floor addition under Avanzato’s direction. Another unforeseen wrinkle was the master bathroom floor, which Cook had to shore up to support the weight of the freestanding stone tub.

Avanzato also turned his attention to the gardens—or, more accurately, what would become the gardens since, he says, “they were nonexistent,” not to mention paved in concrete. With the help of landscape designer Enrique Gomez from Ego Growers, he kept things simple, conjuring up LUXE INTERIORS

areas of interest throughout using plantings and hardscape, rather than making one vast open space. From the rear terrace, Avanzato designed a low-profile stair that now leads to a sunken garden with seating.

There’s a gazebo, and the couple’s children have their own outdoor dining area, covered with pampas grass and dotted with shells.

For Avanzato, the Coral Gables house followed a similar trajectory as many of his other projects. “I don’t have a preconceived idea when I walk in,” he says. “It starts as a seed that is planted. As it’s growing, you make changes accordingly. You prune the plant, and new buds grow. If you take the time to nurture it, then it blooms.” L

rom the outside, one might mistake this home as more California than Coconut Grove. Clean-lined and rectilinear, the three-story house fits snugly in an elevated bluff—a rare find in South Florida. “This is a diverse area with

homes built in the 1920s alongside newly constructed estates,” says designer and homeowner Hillary Littlejohn Scurtis. Neighboring houses owned by creative types, including one whose property looks like it’s set within a pristine rainforest, add to the fascinating narrative behind this south Grove estate.

As with every good story, there’s a great author behind it. In this case, Scurtis put pen to paper, creating a home that reads more like an autobiography. Through a seamless mix of modern and traditional

pieces, heirlooms and art, she tells a tale of family, entertaining and the outdoors. “Life is not static, so to furnish a home solely from one period can be one-dimensional,” Scurtis says. “The careful balance of new and old makes a home compelling.”

The first chapter of this design tome begins differently from what one might expect. When looking to purchase a larger property for their growing family, Scurtis brought husband Constantine to the house as an example of what not to buy. Her plan backfired when Taki— her husband’s Greek nickname—took one look and put in an offer.

“Location is critical for him. He felt that it had such a great address and great value,” Scurtis says. With a baby on the way, she was more than reluctant to buy a home they would want to renovate, but her husband’s enthusiasm won her over, and Scurtis went to work on conceiving their dream home.

First, entrances and redundant windows were reconfigured, with careful editing to give each floor function and the home a calming cohesiveness.

The bottom level features a playroom, the nanny’s quarters, the garage and pool. The second, the main level, includes all of the public spaces along with the three boys’ bedrooms. And the third floor comprises a 1,500-square-foot master suite with his-and-her bathrooms.

Neutral-painted walls provide the ideal foil for the verdant landscape— designed by Fernando Wong of Fernando Wong Outdoor Living Design—on view through the home’s 51 glass windows and doors. To establish a modern foundation, gray Bateig Azul limestone floors flow from the living room into the family room, kitchen and dining room. “I wanted something very forward-thinking with an edge,” she says. “Its color and scale are powerful, and it feels unbelievably velvety to the touch.”

Throughout the public areas, family heirlooms, such as Scurtis’ mother’s leather chairs in the dining room, blend with new and custom designs, such as the zinc-topped table and woven-fiber chairs in the family room.

It’s a testament to Scurtis’ talent for making what’s old seem new again.

Glass double doors off the living and dining rooms open to an expansive terrace for entertaining al fresco. Here, or in any of the five outdoor areas, Scurtis plays grill master while Taki takes on the role of resident mixologist. Married for 14 years, they work in harmony, much like the home.

music room and transition between the boys’ rooms on one side and the public areas on the other. Rife with Swedish, French and American antiques, the living room features kids’ portraits and nautical prints that bring to mind the family’s summer vacations in Nantucket.

Warmth captured through pictures is also created by the use of walnut flooring in the upstairs master suite. “This is where we look forward to decompressing,” she says. “That’s why it is completely void of color.”

Void of color, maybe, but never lacking in style. Staying true to her collected, well-edited approach, a four-poster British colonial bed takes center stage in the bedroom. Date palms, foxtail palms, podocarpus and other lush greens peek in through the plantation-shuttered windows.

It’s the perfect ending—in more ways than one. L

FINDING THEIR INSPIRATION IN FASHION, THREE DASHING DESIGNERS SHARE THEIR SECRETS FOR POLISHED INTERIORS U S I N G S O P H I S T I C A T E D M A T E R I A L S , C O L O R S A N D TEXTURES. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY

ELLIE SOMERVILLE MCNEVIN

KARA MANN

ROCK AND ROLL

AN AVANT-GARDE DESIGN SENSIBILITY PAIRED WITH SUBTLE SOPHISTICATION PROMISES AN OVER-THE-TOP DINING ROOM IN CHICAGO.

DISTINCTIVE DÉCOR Designer Kara Mann creates impeccable interiors for clients from her hometown of Chicago to the glittering city of Dubai. When asked about her favored fashion designer, she exclaims “Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent. He makes rocker chic elegant,” she continues, almost inadvertently describing her own signature style. In the dining room pictured here, the draperies are made from Missoni fabric, while the chandelier mimics the punk theme of this year’s Met Ball. Recently, Mann launched a collection of supple leather fabrics with Moore & Giles, citing things such as a vintage Gucci motorcycle jacket as inspiration. Not surprising then that she crowns leather her favorite “non-neutral” neutral.

Q+A How has your personal style evolved over the years?

It’s become more edited, more sophisticated and more simplified.

What is one trend that you’d love to see go?

As far as interior design, I’d be happy not to see any more overdyed rugs, and for fashion I’m fairly tired of asymmetrical hems.

“I would describe my personal aesthetic and my interior design style as one in the same really...elegant, effortless edge.”

If you’ve got it, you’ve got it.

The retro design of this mixed-metal fire screen is artfully dramatic.

ROBERT PASSAL

DEFINITIVE EDGE

ADVENTUROUS PATTERNS, TAILORED LINES AND JUST THE RIGHT DOSE OF COLOR EQUAL A MODISH MASTERPIECE IN NEW YORK’S GRAMERCY PARK.

GENTLEMEN’S QUARTERS The living room of designer Robert Passal’s New York apartment, with its custom moldings and eclectic accessories, perfectly exhibits his aesthetic, self-described as “classic and tailored with a definitive edge.” Passal’s décor point of view effuses his personal style, although he believes “there is a vast difference between dressing yourself and dressing a room.” With interiors, “space, scale and functionality are all major factors,” he explains. Not one to shy away from color, Passal considers a wide range of shades to be the easiest way to incorporate fashion into the home, his favorite hue being aqua. “I’m often called a peacock,” Passal laughs, “which I’ll take as a chic term of endearment.”

Q+A Do you ever use fashion fabrics in your design projects?

I’m crazy for men’s suiting, especially gray flannel and cashmere chalk stripes used in upholstery.

Do you side more with Chanel’s “remove one item before leaving the house” or Tony Duquette’s “more is more?”

I fall somewhere in the middle, but the trick is knowing when to stop. Living with items you love, be it art, accessories or daily heirlooms, makes a house a home.

LIVING ROOM PHOTO: JOSHUA MCHUGH. PORTRAIT: JONATHAN BECKERMAN.

Favorite fashion designer?

If I could cross-pollinate Tom Ford and Paul Stuart, I would turn one of my bedrooms into a walk-in closet.

“I’ve never been a fan of the ‘staged’ approach to decorating. Personal accessories can turn a mediocre space into a stunning home.”

TOBI TOBIN

NEUTRAL GROUND

SUBTLE PATTERNS, NOTEWORTHY SHAPES AND RICH TEXTURES TAKE CENTER STAGE IN A LAID-BACK CALIFORNIA LIVING SPACE.

INNATE STYLE Best known for a Hollywood-glam aesthetic in a mostly neutral palette, designer and shop owner Tobi Tobin believes that style comes from within, and as is the case with any tastemaker, she claims her tastes have evolved over the years. “I’ve come a long way from wearing preppy embroidered pants in Palm Beach,” she jokes. In her own Los Angeles living room, Tobin expertly layers creams, grays and wood tones, taking cues from Donna Karan—a favorite fashion designer. Her home also works as a place to try out new ideas for her eponymous shop on Sunset Boulevard, where she sells her own furniture collection among vintage pieces and signature candles.

Q+A Best style advice?

Style truly comes from within, but having the courage to live with it and express it to the world takes confidence.

What’s your favorite unexpected neutral?

Flax linen is a beautiful neutral, but only when paired with a range of other textures.

How do you see fashion trends translated for interiors?

Most often through color selection. As designers, we can’t help ourselves. Fashion and interiors have always gone hand in hand.

Black, cream and a hint of gold create an instant floral classic.

renovation room.

Hosted by store owner Beth Geduld and creative director Michael Perez, in conjunction with Luxe Interiors + Design, Renovation Room’s grand opening took place in Hallandale Beach on February 28 with an exciting turnout of over 300 guests. Some of South Florida’s best interior designers, architects, vendors, friends and design enthusiasts came together to sample delicious hors d’oeuvres by Michael’s Catering, enjoy the signature St-Germain cocktail, and revel in the showroom’s latest collections. “It was a very grand opening for the latest design shop in South Florida,” says designer Jane Kilpatrick Schott. “Congratulations to Beth, Michael and everyone at Renovation Room.”

Entering your home, and with one touch… the lights come on like a sign of welcome, your favorite music fills the air, and the thermostat resets to your personal comfort level.

Relaxing in your viewing room, and with one tap on your iPad… the lights dim, the shades are drawn, the temperature adjusts to your comfort mode and your chosen movie begins to play.

Retiring for the night, and with one touch… every light turns off, the alarm system activates and the temperature is set to sleep mode.

Leaving your home for a weekend getaway, and with one touch… all your lighting and entertainment components turn off, the temperature adjusts, the security system arms, and at night, lights turn on and off to provide the illusion of occupancy.

That’s the ETC touch.
