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.”

T
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.”

the INSIDER AMY MEIER
Three years after opening her first brick-and-mortar location in Rancho Santa Fe, interior designer Amy Meier has moved to a nearby space that had long caught her eye. “It’s in a prominent spot in town and I daydreamed about the floor-to-ceiling bay windows,” she recalls. The chance to create a larger shop with more community interaction (it’s near the historic town green) was a dream come true. Meier renovated the former real estate office, adding white-oak floors, Roman clay walls and white-painted trim to showcase her exclusive pieces: one-off collaborations with artists from across the country, antiques and handmade home goods. At the back of the shop is her studio. Between projects that take her from Wyoming to Florida, she chatted with us about San Diego’s design scene. amymeier.com Design must-sees: Madison Gallery, the Mingei, Lux Art Institute and the Museum of Contemporary Art. What’s trending: People want a story, a history or an inspiring narrative. It allows them to connect better with the things they collect. Take the handblown hurricanes we’re importing from Italy: I went and saw them being made. Not a lot of stores source the things they’re selling. It’s about authenticity. Ones to watch: San Diego painter James Kendall Higgins and Connecticut-based master gilder Carol Leskanic. Looking ahead: Capturing the relaxed Southern California lifestyle is always a challenge. That said, I have clients asking for more formality and embracing more sophisticated and classic areas.

Visitors will also find a replica of Paul Rudolph’s 1952 Walker Guest House reconstructed in downtown Palm Springs and opportunities to visit the estate of bandleader Lawrence Welk and the Cree House, a 1955 Cathedral City home by Albert Frey that has never been opened to the public. Also debuting: The Princes of Kings Road, a play by screenwriter Tom Lazarus, inspired by an encounter between celebrated architects Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler that took place in a hospital room late in their lives. Tickets are updated and available on the first of each month. Fair warning: Events sell out quickly. modernismweek.com 94 / LUXESOURCE.COM

JEFFREY ALAN MARKS LIGHTING The New Year brings a new collaboration between popular interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks and Progress Lighting. The century-old, South Carolina-based firm tapped Marks for its inaugural Design Series, a venture that will emphasize beautifully crafted, affordable luxury. The 35-piece collection, available in Southern California primarily through Ferguson Enterprises, includes pendant and ceiling fixtures, chandeliers and wall sconces in innovative forms that make a casual but tailored statement—just the look for which the designer is known. Marks, who has also created lines for Palecek, A. Rudin and Kravet, among others, has dubbed the collection Point Dume in tribute to his Malibu home and the seascape that continually inspires him, so expect a few nautical references in the designs. progresslighting.com
INSIDE EDITION LUXE ASKED THREE DESIGN PROS TO DISCUSS THE BUILDING IN THEIR CITY THEY WISH THEY HAD DESIGNED.
“The Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes is the perfect marriage of man and nature: a glass enclosure that connects so completely with the surrounding landscape, it’s unclear where the building ends and nature begins. I can only hope someday to design a building so harmonious with the natural world.” –ERIK EVENS, Evens Architects/ KAA Design 96 / LUXESOURCE.COM
“I wish we had designed the old observation tower at the Ramon C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts. It seems abandoned. I quite like its concrete base, winding steel sculptural ramp, and looming tower. If we had designed it, I wouldn’t stop the fi ght until this building could have been realized in its fully functional state.”
“I would have enjoyed leading the team for the U.S. FDA building in Irvine, which, in this very populated city, stands alone on the fringe of a low-lying marsh at the end of San Diego Creek. The design echoes its environment. The façade stands out as an ‘organic’ sculpture, with each design decision respectful to the environment.”
–SEAN LOCKYEAR, Studio AR&D Architects
–CHARLES D’ARCY, D’Arcy & Associates
ON VIEW
“IRVING PENN: BEYOND BEAUTY” Few photographers could make a block of frozen asparagus appear glamorous. But then few photographers were the incredible Irving Penn (1917–2009). After snapping his first images in the late 1930s, the lensman moved away from street scenes to enjoy a long and internationally celebrated career shooting fashion, celebrity portraits and still lifes. Much of that supremely elegant work was published in the pages of Vogue, and often featured among the models was his stunning wife, Lisa Fonssagrives. Even in his waning years, Penn never stopped testing himself. Just before his death, he began making experimental Postmodern images that questioned our conventional ideas of art and fashion. On tour since 2015, this major exhibition makes its final stop at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, through February 17. It includes several previously unseen works, which Penn donated to the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 1988, And 100 other images recently given by the Irving Penn Foundation. mopa.org

▲ HOLLYWOOD MODERN: HOUSES OF THE STARS: DESIGN, STYLE, GLAMOUR Alan Hess and Michael Stern The recent interest in midcentury modernist design is not really new.

In this new book, Hess, an architectural historian, and Stern, a curator, examine 25 celebrity homes designed by leading architects—think Paul R. Williams for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz; Ed Niles for Johnny Carson; and A. Quincy Jones for Gary Cooper—and study the influence of fame on lifestyle. rizzoliusa.com

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. Artisan Daniel McRorie upholstered the chair in the style of Jacques Adnet— stitching Kirk’s art on canvas onto the leather-and-whiteoak chair. maisongerard.com

An Interior Design Movement: Crystal Curating with Jeffrey Segal Jeffrey Segal, founder of Mystic Journey Crystals, is energizing the interior design world with museum-quality crystals and geodes. If you’re a designer looking to create a harmonious space for a client or a homeowner seeking to fill your home with positive vibes, you may inevitably cross paths with Jeffrey Segal. As the owner and founder of Mystic Journey Crystals and Mystic Journey Bookstore (a Venice mainstay for more than a decade in Los Angeles), Segal has quickly established himself as the go-to source for acquiring investment-quality crystals and geodes. On its second year, the unique 1,600-square-foot gallery space has invigorated Venice’s hip-and-vibrant Lincoln Boulevard and amassed a dedicated following of celebrity clients and interior designers. “We’re seeing a lot of designers who want to create interior spaces that are not just aesthetically balanced, but also energetically balanced,” he says. “They might be working with a certain type of client who wants to enhance the energy in a space. Designers are already using art in the spaces they are creating — why not a natural piece of art, like a crystal? They’re conversation pieces.” And Mystic Journey Crystal’s “art gallery” is filled with striking amethyst, citrine and crystal quartz, ranging from 20 to 2,000 pounds.
“ My intention with our gallery is to fill people’s homes and public spaces with their magnificent color, formation and history,”
Segal’s expertise and fascination with crystals — often traveling to unmapped mine sites in locales like Brazil or Madagascar — allow him to source the most unique and finest specimens available. His relationships with crystal mine owners and their families ultimately mean that he can trace them from the extraction site to the cutting and to polishing/finishing workshops. For Segal, Mystic Journey Crystals is in perfect alignment with the wellness at home movement. “My intention with our gallery is to fill people’s homes and public spaces with their magnificent color, formation and history,” he says. “Having a physical space to view these extraordinary specimens is extremely important. Most people need to see them in person, but they also need to feel them. We want people to directly experience their energy.”

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. 176 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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. 178 / LUXESOURCE.COM
PORTRAIT AND VIGNETTE PHOTO: STEPHEN KARLISCH.
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.

SMALL WONDER LIGHT OUT
Ideal for urban environments or those short on space, Drummonds’ Tweed design is its most compact bathtub to date but still stands at a substantial 5 feet long. The cast-iron piece is available in four finish options including polished, primed, raw or painted, which can be done in bespoke colors such as Poetic Blue (shown) from Pure & Original. drummonds-uk.com
Each fixture by New Orleans-based lighting designer Julie Neill is hand-drawn on a lifesize scale and refined gradually over time to achieve her singular vision. The damprated Alberto medium sconce is part of Neill’s first collection with Visual Comfort and executed in a white plaster finish that would elevate any bath space. circalighting.com

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

TO DETAIL
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
INTERIOR AUTHORITY FIVE INTERIOR PROFESSIONALS EXPLAIN THE INS AND OUTS OF INFUSING A SPACE WITH BOLD COLOR.
HEIDI CAILLIER Best color to use when designing a living space? We often defer to using white on the walls, specifically Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, so we can have more flexibility when designing with colorful textiles. heidicaillierdesign.com
BARBARA GLASS MULLEN With furnishings, how do you incorporate color? Lamp shades in patterns and colors—they make a bedroom feel eclectic and interesting. You can create custom shades for any lamp using your choice fabric. barbaraglassinc.com
GARY WISS
JORGE CASTILLO
NICOLE FULLER
Where is the ideal place in the home to incorporate color? I love to integrate bright hues in small spaces, usually the foyer, mud room, and hallways, or the powder room to make it feel like a jewel box experience. wissdesignstudio.com
What do wallcoverings add to a home? I love using wallpaper to incorporate texture and color, and to create expressive drama in the most optimal places. Phillip Jeffries and Romo wallcoverings are usually my go-to resources. jorgecastillo.com
Go-to color when designing a high-impact room? Vardo by Farrow & Ball. It translates to a peacock-teal, green-blue hue and is so rich with visual texture that you can layer it with soft colors, like pale pink or light yellow, or go more masculine with brown. nicolefullerinteriors.com
PEOPLE IN DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE
A home’s entry should express a sense of transition and “create a preview of the experience on the other side of the door,” says architect John Henderson, who designed this exemplary Newport Beach, California residence with smooth-troweled plaster, stained-wood eaves, and a standing-seam roof. He shares four tips for creating an inviting entryway. spectrumarchitecture.com Think about transitions. Devise a sense of leaving the streetscape and entering into a semiprivate space. This can be achieved by either a physical transition such as a wall and gate, or a perceived boundary such as a landscape barrier or planting scheme. Blurred lines. Begin to envelop the entry experience by blurring the lines between the outside and the inside of the home. Create an outdoor space that is partially enclosed by the building’s walls but remains open to the sky and landscaping. Use windows wisely. Use windows and openings to begin a visual connection between the indoors and outdoors. This serves as another tool for those entering the home to get a sense of the interior space. Repeat materials. Give the visitor a preview of what they might expect within the home by introducing materials, shapes, forms and colors outside. As the door opens, repeat some of those elements in the entry to link the two spaces.
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

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

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.

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

How does the site influence your designs? As a contextualist, the landscape is my first consideration when beginning a project. The proximity to other structures, the topography, the views, the privacy— these aspects are the first clues as to what the house wants to be. markfinlay.com
Top design trend: The overall acceptance of modernism is really exciting, and not just because it’s been my life’s work. I think the places in the world where modernism is celebrated hold the deepest understanding of and appreciation for design. Those communities have great culture. drewettworks.com
Best thing to splurge on: Glass is expensive but worth it. Well-designed spaces with a lot of glass allow for a seamless connection from interior to exterior. Smaller spaces can feel much larger than they really are—not to mention the health benefits of natural light. Design motto: Build smaller. Build smarter. strang.design
Go-to element: Lighting. I use it to layer a space with warmth and interest. A room may be beautiful, but gorgeous lighting creates rooms you want to live in. What are homeowners requesting? I’m seeing more asks for spas and meditation rooms. People are looking to their home as a place of respite and peace. robbins-architecture.com
Favorite material: I love reclaimed materials, like brick or tile, as it is hard to authentically recreate a natural patina. Most important areas to invest in? Windows and flooring—you want to spend on those portions of a house that are the most difficult to change later and that set the tone for the home. virginiakelsey.com

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

STAIR MASTER
Lakefront cottages are always about the views, and that’s exactly why architect Michael Abraham designed this stunning Michigan abode to blur the lines between inside and out. Large and plentiful windows, plus a series of modern staircases throughout the property, open up sight lines to Paw Paw Lake. Here’s how Abraham achieved such a grand effect. michael-abraham.com
What inspired the idea for this dramatic staircase? This Napainspired house on Michigan’s Paw Paw Lake comprises three structures: two coach houses at the top of a hill and a spacious home along the lake. The compound was built on a sloping lot, so there are a number of staircases both inside and outside the house, along with an ipe-wood bridge system connecting the three structures. Since this three-
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.

ELEMENTAL
MOMENTS PERFECT MIX The penthouse in this prewar-style Manhattan building overlooking Central Park had everything but great bones, so builder Mark Dobbin started by breaking apart the existing architecture. He installed new doors, windows and steel structures to create an openconcept space. A mix of oak, chestnut, teak and olive woods, selected for their beautiful grains, help warm the space, while Kelly Wearstler fabricupholstered chairs and hand-dyed Fromental wallpaper add bold pops of color. highlinecg.com
▼ PASSING THROUGH More Colonial Williamsburg than Northern California, this Georgian-style beauty was brought lovingly back to life for the Atherton homeowners. The long, windowed breezeway—constructed by builder Ed Faubel to join the house with a new garage—was designed to resemble a carriage house and connects the gardens in the front and back of the house. faubelconstruction.com
▲ NATURAL INSTINCTS Inside and outside meet in the master bathroom of this LEED-accredited Florida home. General contractor Cole Haynes worked closely with the design team and homeowner to achieve a sense of dimension using natural Mexican river rock and ipe wood, both surrounding the Duravit tub. The same textures are repeated in the adjoining open-air shower and garden. the22group.com
▲ HEAVY METAL “The starkness of drywall is a thing of the past,” says general contractor Tom Fisher, who helped bring to life the powder room of this Arizona home. The walls, mostly steel cladding and wood veneers, create a textural backdrop for the copper-andlive-edge walnut counter built by Ramsey Brothers and envisioned by interior designer Anita Lang. fishercustomhomes.com

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

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

Best splurge: Hardwood floors and custom cabinetry are vital in any high-end home. White oak, in particular, allows for creative staining and glazing. There is also no substitute to an exceptional piece of Calacatta Gold marble. Why do kitchen and bathroom renovations add so much value? Those areas are where we spend most of our time. The old adage still rings true: Kitchens and master baths are what sell homes. riordanhomes.com
What is your favorite material? I love concrete— the raw material is muddy and physically hard to work with, yet the end result is solid and strong. You can also shape it into curves, make it smooth as silk, or rough and textured. It has endless personalities. I also appreciate standard, oldfashioned red brick. There is something so classic about brick—it reminds me of the Dick Van Dyke show. fairbankconstruction.com
Most important item for homeowners to spend on? Windows and insulation. They make a big impact on how comfortable a house is and they are very hard to replace later. Go-to material: Lately it’s steel, and I like to see it exposed whenever possible. The creative possibilities are limitless because there are so many ways to fabricate, machine, texture, forge and patina steel. gerberconstruction.net
Why are kitchen and bathroom renovations so important? Kitchens and bathrooms are where you do most of your living. How they work for you has a real correlation to how happy you are with your home. Top building material: As a craftsman, wood has been a touchstone material for my entire career, especially because we are surrounded by all types of trees in the Pacific Northwest. tothconstruction.com
PEAK 26 EXPERIENCE

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

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

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.”

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

Ask the Expert The key to life/work balance is? Nature brings the perfect balance to life: a hiking trip at Will Rogers State Historic Park or a bike ride on the boardwalk from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes.
Soheil and Sammy Mehraban, Owners 545 North La Cienega Boulevard West Hollywood, California 310.657.4400 friends@mehraban.com mehraban.com
Your greatest success? We’ve wanted to redo our exterior for 30 years. The work is under way right now. Soon, we’ll have the elegant, glassand-steel facade we’ve always wanted.
MEHRABAN
In its formative years, Mehraban was known as the leader in classic Persian carpets. But little by little, knot by knot, over the past 35-plus years, it has evolved to become the destination for modern, progressive designs woven in countries from around the globe. Founded in Iran in 1945, Mehraban established its L.A. store in 1983. Since that time, owners Sammy and Soheil Mehraban, and their team have worked with designers on some of the biggest projects in the country, as well as those closer to home in the vibrant La Cienega design scene: the north side of Sunset Drive, Venice, Hancock Park, Los Feliz, Malibu and Silver Lake, to name a few. “We are influenced by the masterworks of weaving,” Soheil says. “Not only do we look to these for design inspiration, but also construction and materials.” Taking a collaborative approach, the Mehraban team explores at least one new design every day. “We sit down with our artists and several other staff members, and look at color, design and texture together,” Sammy says. “After that, we strive for integrity of materials and a reassuring level of support.” Among the showroom’s numerous original collections, Mehraban embraces collaborations with well-known artists, such as Liesel Plambeck and FORM Design Studio, whose rug designs will be carried in Mehraban’s showroom and a few select others across the country. While celebrities and noted designers inspire, Sammy and Soheil say projects for families are their personal favorites. “We know a project has succeeded when the grandchildren of the original client are shopping with us,” they say. “We love to meet new clients, hear their hopes and histories, and exceed their expectations.”

Attention to detail is an old-world value, and central to all of our work.
1. In the Bise rug from India, there’s a wonderful variability to the native, natural wool color that occurs purely by chance. 2. Woven in brown, natural, gold and gray hues, the Caju rug is characterized by braided fringe that closes the flatweave skirt on two sides. 3. Kit Moresby II, from the Haute Bohemian Collection, features a longer and more luminous pile that alternates with flat weave, bringing to mind the deserts of Marrakesh. 4. Rugged Ghazni wool from central Afghanistan weaves together to create Zephyros, also from the Haute Bohemian Collection. All photography by Alena Mealy

GRACE HOME FURNISHINGS
Whether looking for a unique piece of furniture or full-scale interior design services, Grace Home Furnishings turns any vision into a reality, taking a classic and refined, elegant yet comfortable approach. Founded in 2000 by designers Michael Ostrow and Roger Stoker, Grace Home Furnishings encompasses two beautifully appointed showrooms—both which feature a vibrant, inviting atmosphere where one can shop, place a custom order, or get personalized decorating advice from a team of in-house designers. “Since opening our first showroom in the Brentwood Village area of Los Angeles, we have expanded into designing our own line of custom furniture and fabrics; then opened our second showroom in the Uptown Design District of Palm Springs in 2014, followed by an art and photography gallery in 2016,” they say. Influenced by travel and history, as well as their clients’ unique needs, both embrace the variety of styles their project locations offer, whether traditional, modern, midcentury or Cape Cod. “We started off being well-known for a very glamorous, Hollywood Regency style,” Ostrow says. “Now, we are not held to any one design aesthetic. We love the challenge and variety of working in many different styles and places—from a lake house in Upstate New York to a Manhattan pied-à-terre or a Spanish villa in Palm Springs. This is what keeps us inspired and creative.” In keeping with this layered approach, Ostrow and Stoker incorporate antique and vintage elements into every design. “We often find pieces, then update and adapt them to fit today’s lifestyles,” Stoker says. In addition to numerous local projects, they have recently completed homes in Manhattan, Puerto Rico, Miami and Sea Island, Georgia. “Our clients often become friends, and our vacations become shopping trips for our showrooms and design projects,” they explain.
Michael Ostrow and Roger Stoker, Owners 11632 Barrington Court Los Angeles, California 310.476.7176 gracehomefurnishings.com
Our founding philosophy was to create an elegant, yet accessible showroom, without attitude or pretension. We like to imbue our clients’ homes with this same feeling.
Ask the Expert Describe your creative process and favorite part of it? Fabrics are the best! Calm, fun, quirky, subdued or warm—they always set the tone of any home design. First project that put your company on the map? One of the first projects to get us noticed was Marcia Cross’ dressing room on the set of Desperate Housewives, where we designed a glamorous mirrored vanity.

Define a successful project. We measure the success of a project by our client’s happiness. We strive to create one-ofa-kind, well-designed spaces that our clients fall in love with. We make sure each of our projects is unique and tailored specifically to each client’s tastes and needs.

MIMI LONDON
After nearly 35 years, Mimi London, Inc. relocated and expanded its flagship showroom. It’s a move that president and CEO Mark Boone says “made us reexamine who we are, took us out of our comfort zone, reinvented our showroom and ourselves. It’s a total reinvigoration and renewal; the best thing to happen to us.” Founded 45 years ago by the company’s namesake, Mimi London (known for her “dropped-shouldered,” organic approach to furniture and interior design), the company has evolved under Boone’s ownership to offer a cleaner, more architectural take on its rustic, yet luxurious roots. Today, the showroom has become a destination for unique, handcrafted products of the highest quality. And its collections are as environmentally responsible as they are beautiful. Represented across the country, the collection and the company’s custom capabilities continue to expand. “Seeing top designers use our pieces is always rewarding and appreciated,” Boone says. While Mimi London, Inc. functions as the furniture and manufacturing arm of the business, Mark Boone, Inc. is the interior design side, often working in communities where clients relax and put up their feet—Aspen, Telluride, Sonoma, the desert, the beach—mostly second or third homes to gather with family. No matter the location or style, both companies’ designs provide a sense of place, characterized by comfort, quality, texture, natural materials, a quiet palette and an element of surprise. While the creative process varies, the Mimi London/Mark Boone team always works collectively, conjuring a panoply of ideas in new and innovative ways. “Often, a client will ask for something, and creating a solution that they deeply embrace is the best part,” Boone says.
Mark Boone, President and CEO 8687 Melrose Avenue, Suite B-396 Los Angeles, California 310.855.2567 mark@mimilondon.com mimilondon.com
Our showroom is a collection of passionate artisans with a common thread of soulfulness … meaning handmade, hand-dyed, handwoven, hand-finished furnishings from across the globe.

ANDREA SCHARFF LANDSCAPE DESIGN
The backbone of a successful garden is good design. Everything else takes root from there. Thus is the philosophy by which landscape architect Andrea Scharff and her team, at Andrea Scharff Landscape Design, live and landscape by. “Landscaping literally means land-shaping,” she says. “As a designer, my job is to take something natural and organic, and shape it into something beautiful and livable.” And that, Scharff has been doing for 18 years and growing, taking on commercial and residential projects here and overseas. Although most of her focus has been on the Westside of Los Angeles, she has clients in Atherton, Pasadena and even Europe. “It’s always been my dream to work internationally, and now we’re working on residential projects in Saint-Tropez and Ibiza,” she says. Growing up in the South cultivated Scharff’s love of gardening early on, organically becoming a passion she never outgrew. “After I got married, we were transferred to New York City,” she says. “I left my desk job, went back to school, got my degree and have been in landscape design ever since.” Ironically, it was a New York native who put the landscape designer on the West Coast map. The client was moving to California for a job and hired Scharff to create a true California garden. “She didn’t know a succulent from a shrub, and trusted me enough to follow my instincts and create a quintessentially California garden for her and her family. It was published, which led to the design of many more California native gardens thereafter.” Today, Scharff partners with architects, investors, builders, families and individuals to create dream landscapes and gorgeous gardens that will be enjoyed and appreciated for years to come.

Designer Renee Wolfenson’s journey to success is living proof that “every cloud has a silver lining.” In 2011, with 19 years of experience in the design industry, Wolfenson found herself at a crossroads— take on a different career or continue with her own firm. Seven years later, in a sprawling studio, her company, Casa Stilo, is known for its high-end, detail-oriented and specialized projects. Working on a variety of projects, such as high-end residential and commercial office space, a hotel in Milan, and luxury multiunit projects for local builders, Wolfenson and her team provide clients with comprehensive service, including design-build drawing packages and three-dimensional realistic renderings. When asked her favorite style of design, she says, “Every project is a new challenge, and I love challenges. Each one is a blank canvas, where we have the opportunity to color in and create palettes beyond one’s expectation. I work in nearly every design style, while staying true to my passion of designing with hard surfaces. For each project, I bring something unique that will become the ‘wow factor’ with materials I find through my travels and research.” While Wolfenson is focused on the present, she is excited for the future and the variety of projects lined up for her company, nationally and internationally.

CHRIS BARRETT DESIGN
With an impressive list of milestones to her name, among them the offices of A&M Records, magazine covers, celebrity clients Charlize Theron and John Stamos, and a textile collection in showrooms across the country—designer Chris Barrett says now is the best time in her career. As the principal of Chris Barrett Design, she started her first company upon graduating from UCLA, a telltale sign of her entrepreneurial spirit. Eventually, she sold the business to KAA Design Group (an L.A. architectural firm), opening and leading its Interior Design division, until founding her own firm in 2009. Ever-influenced by iconic designers, the likes of Dorothy Draper, Axel Vervoordt, Elsie de Wolfe and others, Barrett also draws from her travels, architectural history and beauty of all kinds to inform her style, which she describes as “classic and fresh, with a twist of humor.” Having served on the board of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for many years, Barrett is a classicist at heart, but finds herself mixing it up most times. “We’re best known for Spanish style, but I also love modern,” she says. “Mostly, I’m known for work that is fresh and accessible, no matter the style.” Starting every project with the “story,” Barrett does her research—on the clients, their desires, the structure and its location—taking everything into consideration when formulating her design. “We typically work from the ground up, so we scour the earth for imagery to support our ‘story,’” says Barrett, speaking of her firm’s varied projects throughout Utah, Florida, Manhattan and California.

ARCHITECTS
BILDEN
Following in the words of celebrated American architect Louis Kahn—“Architecture is the thoughtful making of space”—BiLDEN, which means “to form” or “to build” in German, carries its passion for “making” from design to build, streamlining the process, and saving clients money and time. “We are an architecture firm, first and foremost,” president Greg Crawford says. “We fell into building when a contractor left two of our jobs hanging. We picked up the pieces, finished one of them and thought, ‘We can do this!’” And BiLDEN has been ever since, drawing on the fundamental tenets of light, space, planning, design and detailing to create homes with clear, elegant lines in both composition and form. “Underpinning all of this is a commitment to incorporating environmentally responsible materials and methods, energy conservation, and an appropriate use of technology,” he says. Beyond adding building services to its repertoire, Crawford attributes much of the firm’s ongoing success to a handful of early clients he and his team have completed multiple projects for over the years. One, in particular, he credits for putting BiLDEN on the design map. “That would have to be the major addition and renovation project we did for me and my wife,” he says. “It was featured in several magazines and allowed our friends to understand what we were all about, which led to many follow-up requests.” Since that time, he and his team have worked with a variety of clients, but always with three goals in mind: to solve problems, make architecture and make people happy. “The early part, where we take stock and develop solutions to challenges presented is my most favorite part of the creative process,” Crawford says. “Listen, ask, sketch, repeat. Everything just flows from there.”

INNER GARDENS
Founded in 1989, Inner Gardens has been cultivating its design and decorating services to become one of Los Angeles’ premier interior landscape and garden design companies. With full-service exterior and interior capabilities, and a vast collection of interior and garden furnishings, antique to modern, Inner Gardens designs and installs richly layered Mediterranean gardens that look and feel as if rooted for years. “We plant fully grown specimens so the landscape appears to have been growing for generations,” president Stephen Block says. While nature provides an ever-changing source of inspiration, Block points to his own inventory, be it a tree, jar, urn, bench, fountain or other found object, as that which feeds his soul. “I’m a treasure hunter at heart,” he says. “I am happiest scouring the world for unique objects.” Having grown up in the tropics of South Florida, Roberto Burle Marx was and still is a huge mentor for Block, who travels throughout the South of France, to inform many of his L.A. area installations. “The climate and quality of light are so much like Southern California,” he says. “I have been collecting objects from France, Italy and Spain for many, many years, which beautifully complement the Mediterranean aesthetic.” With showrooms in Culver City and Malibu, Inner Gardens services every type and style of home, with “services” being the operative word. “While we definitely see Inner Gardens as a design company, at the end of the day, we are a service company through and through,” he says.

oving from the East Coast to the West Coast requires material as well as geographic trades. Flip-flops instead of boots, for instance. And it can mean swapping out bigger things—furniture or even an entire aesthetic. Such was the experience of a family moving from New York to Santa Monica. “Our New York house was very dark,” the wife says. “We wanted the opposite of that: something cheerful, happy and user-friendly.” This clear directive made perfect sense to designer John De Bastiani, who saw a bright, jubilant interior as totally reflective of the homeowners’ outgoing personalities. “They’re very fun people,” he says. “And they wanted something fresh and youthful.” The nearby beach also helped set the tone, but De Bastiani wanted to do it in a subtle way. “My goal was slightly beachy,” he says. “But it’s a family house so not too coastal.” The clients were already settled into their abode when they called on De Bastiani. “We needed to take a breather,” explains the wife, who, with her husband, had engaged architect Philip Vertoch to fashion the new residence. Working alongside general contractors Gordon Gibson and Jason Maltas, Vertoch aimed to create an airy and practical family home. “I always try to have an open house flow and that was particularly important with these clients,” says Vertoch. Adds Maltas, “We implemented Philip’s design for a traditional but open floor plan intended for the family to enjoy the Southern California climate and life near the beach.” While De Bastiani’s strategy for the interior was definitely colorful and somewhat casual, one of his first gestures was to highlight some of the home’s more classic architectural details, opting to paint the trim in the public rooms a light gray. “It helped everything sort of pop,” says the designer. Against that neutral backdrop, he brought in blue and green with touches of yellow. That cheerful palette is established early on: The front

door is painted a teal shade and the patterned carpet in the foyer features a similar hue. “It gives a nod to being on the water,” he notes. A sunny but understated wallcovering brings in texture, depth and richness, while a black-and-white abstract painting—perched above a console with an oar-shaped base that imparts a nautical vibe—signals a departure from any rigid adherence to tradition. “It’s a little slice of what the rest of the house is going to look like,” shares De Bastiani. In the living room, just off the entry, the designer maintained the sand, sea and sky theme, beginning with the eye-catching rug and continuing with the tailored furnishings. He incorporated chairs with a maritime feel, while lamps and midcentury pottery contribute a welcoming warmth. “It gives soul to the room,” says De Bastiani, adding, “They wanted a place where they could hang out and have company.” The color scheme extends to the adjacent dining room, but the designer painted it gray to give it a distinctive ambience. “The gray makes the whole room seem wainscoted, but it’s not,” he says. “It’s different enough from the living room, but we used the same curtains to tie it together.” The easygoing atmosphere of the room means it gets used far beyond the usual special occasions and holidays. “I’m fortunate that my husband is a fabulous cook,” says the wife, “so we really love having people over.” And with a De Bastiani-designed table that extends up to 10 feet, it’s easy for the couple to host a 10-person dinner party. A focus on entertaining meant the kitchen also played an important role. The rope stools and gray tones on the cabinets keep the room from having a stark feel, as do the avocado green pendant lamps above the island. “At first the clients were unsure of those. They thought they were too bright,” says De Bastiani. “They loved them when it was done.” The table in the breakfast area also took a little bit of a push. “I had to convince them to get a round table,” he says. “But they eventually loved it because you can talk to anyone across from you in any spot.” De Bastiani also took some risks in the master bedroom, creating a patchwork fabric with which he upholstered the bed’s headboard. “It’s really interesting and unique,” he says. “You can’t just go and buy it.” A large-scale print wallpaper in shades of blue provides another layer of drama. “It’s definitely a little gutsy,” he says. “But not crazy gutsy—it’s still calming.” Perhaps no other room epitomizes the home’s light and joyful decor better than the family room, though. “It’s really refreshing,” De Bastiani says of the bright blue and chartreuse hues he used. It’s also a place that can take a beating—a necessity with four kids in the house. “It’s pretty, and durable and comfortable—it just ties it all together,” says the designer. “I think people look at it and they say, ‘Oh, it is really happy.’ ”
The entry of a Santa Monica home announces its aesthetic goals. Designer John De Bastiani placed a painting by Marco Lorenzetto in the entry to suggest a contemporary take, while the green-blue Stark rug and a console with an oar-shaped base designed by De Bastiani from Allyon Furniture allude to the locale near the beach. The overhead fixture is from Circa Lighting; the lamps on the console are Bunny Williams Home. A custom Benjamin Moore paint color was used for the trim.

The homeowners entertain frequently. To that end, De Bastiani created a sophisticated, yet unfussy atmosphere in the dining room. A Circa Lighting pendant hangs above a dining table conceived by De Bastiani from Ayllon Furniture. The surrounding custom chairs from Villa Furniture are upholstered in Elizabeth Dow fabric. To tie the space to the adjacent living room, he used the same Schumacher drapery fabric in each.

Life Illuminated INSPIRED BY THE TECHNIQUES OF THE RENAISSANCE, A MONTECITO PAINTER CREATES WORKS OF MODERN SPLENDOR. WRITTEN BY MONIQUE MCINTOSH / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DIANA KOENIGSBERG
LUXESOURCE.COM / 271

o matter how far removed from our technology-driven lives, the saints and nymphs of Renaissance masterworks still resonate with startling realism, seemingly bursting out of their frames. The sublime spirit of that era lives on in the work of Montecito-based artist Carin Gerard. Instead of heralding angels, the painter uses the period’s intricate techniques to capture the hidden grandeur of temporal, everyday things. “I want to take natural subject matter and bring it dramatically and graphically to life,” says the artist. Gerard first discovered her passion for Renaissance art while in Europe after college when she became transfixed by old-master paintings. Their full-fleshed depth left an impression on her as a young artist. “The deep light and dark, that kind of drama really affected me,” she recalls. “I loved their perspective, how they brought the viewer in.” Enamored by the style, Gerard joined the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, to study classical realist painting. The experience “changed my life,” she says. Focusing on still life, she delved deeply into the genre. Of late, however, the artist has begun to explore a more modern approach to her work. “I made a conscious effort to start thinking in a more contemporary way,” says Gerard. Her new method involves zooming in on still life subjects so they breach the boundaries of her massive canvases while enlarging and exaggerating every detail. Gerard’s references remain rooted in reality; she photographs blooms from her gardens and butterfly specimens. For her Thin Air series, she uses snapshots of the sky taken on her annual pilgrimages back to Italy. But the artist departs from her inspirations’ natural hues, creating her own expressive color harmonies. The result: immense roses and peonies that seem carved from marble, and gauzy butterflies that appear too fragile to touch. The aim, she says, is paintings “that make you feel entwined, like you can step into the image and become a part of it.” Despite Gerard’s modern slant, her technique remains entrenched in the Renaissance tradition, beginning with her hand-ground pigments. Over her traced compositions, she applies fine washes of color and wipes away sections to highlight in white. These then blur with shadows to create a grisaille—the monochrome underpainting used by old masters to yield a three-dimensional effect. Over days, she layers translucent glazes of color, carefully calibrating each hue by value, which she records in journals. “They are like a bible to me,” Gerard says of these notebooks. The diaries are themselves beautiful objects and a reminder that even the smallest moments of beauty deserve reverence. “I’m just trying to capture that one moment,” she notes. “We are in constant change and motion, and my intent is to hold that thought and slow down enough to appreciate all that we have.”

MODERN LOVE WITH A THOUGHTFUL RENOVATION OF HIS 1975 PALM SPRINGS RESIDENCE, A DESIGNER RECAPTURES ITS PERIOD SPIRIT. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LANCE GERBER

I
’m one step away from fanatical when it comes to modernism and authenticity,” says designer Daniel Krog. “It’s a period that’s so defined and has so much ideology that, well, it’s blasphemy when the interior design for a modern house doesn’t take its cues from the architecture.” And the 1975 John Walling-designed residence in Palm Springs that Krog restored for himself and his husband, Adam Bonnett, is proof of that conviction. The couple knew immediately that they wanted the residence—a structure of mostly glass, aggregate concrete and wood that harmonizes with its craggy backdrop of mountains. “We love modern design—and the house is a classic example of late modernism and also has many Brutalist elements,” Krog says. “One of its defining features is that it’s nestled into the intersection of the Santa Rosa Mountains and the San Jacinto Mountains. There’s this sense of being enveloped by that exquisite landscape.” While the home’s architecture and setting were its selling points, the interiors left a lot to be desired. Previous owners had completed at least two renovations (in the 1980s and 1990s) of Walling’s design, which meant the finishes no longer related to the architecture. “There was a lot of contemporarystyle tile in the bathrooms and the kitchen was mauve and purple,” Krog says. “I restored all of the bathrooms and the kitchen with period-appropriate materials.” But before doing so, the designer, with the original plans of the house in hand, surveyed the property with Walling. “John came to the house while we were still in escrow, and we walked the property and went into every room together,” he says. “He told me what it should be and what his intentions were. I wanted the house to be as close to his original design as possible.” Krog began the restoration process by gutting the bathrooms and the kitchen and replacing the contemporary tile with tile by Heath Ceramics. “I used it throughout the

house because Heath was very happening in the ’70s and because it has a classic ’70s palette,” the designer says. Much to his satisfaction, the raw slate flooring and the wood ceiling and beams in most of the rooms remained intact. “And thank goodness,” he notes, “the aggregate concrete walls and the travertine on the fireplace were also exactly how Walling originally designed them.” In keeping with modern design principles, the materiality of the floors, walls and ceiling was understated and related to the natural landscape, but Krog wanted to pair that aesthetic with the sleeker sensibility that also marked the era. “The energy crisis bummed people out and they wanted an escape,” he says. “There was chrome and the Space-Age-like style of designers such as Pierre Paulin. It was this dichotomy and you really see that in this house. I juxtaposed Sciolari light fixtures and Warren Platner chairs with things that have an earthy feel.” When selecting the mix of pieces, Krog employed only furniture and fabric from the 1970s in each of the rooms. “All furniture, textiles and art are either period original or licensed original,” he says. In the living room, the designer arranged curved Milo Baughman sofas covered in Knoll velvet. There are bronzed Platner chairs and tables with smoked glass tops, and three large brass wall sculptures by William Bowie hang above the fireplace. The dining area, where sunlight pours in through the glass walls, showcases a Sciolari chandelier suspended above a Saarinen table and chairs. “All the lighting with the exception of the Verner Panton pendants in the kitchen is vintage Sciolari,” Krog says. The designer also revamped the landscape. “I wanted to bring the mountain behind the house into the landscape so that the two were one,” he says. Previously, abundant foliage and grass had effectively separated the house from the mountains. He replaced the trees, bougainvillea and hedges with creosote, furcraea and Mexican feather grass. “Now, it’s as if the mountain is the backyard,” Krog says. The pool area, situated to the side of the house and framed by concrete and raw slate, underwent only one change. “We jackhammered and removed a slab for outdoor sculpture that was on the edge of the pool and put a spa in its place,” says general contractor Jack W. Doyle, who managed the construction. One of the best compliments Krog received about his new-but-not-new home was a comment made by a close friend, also a designer, when he came to see the house for the first time. “He said he couldn’t tell the difference between what is new and what is original,” Krog reports. “It was music to my ears.” But the living experience the designer and his husband now have is even better than that. “Modernism is so much more than clean lines,” he says. “It’s classical architecture stripped of its ornament so you’re able to focus on proportion, light and views.”
The original Forms + Surfaces front doors open to the entry of a 1975 Palm Springs house originally designed by architect John Walling. Designer Daniel Krog restored the residence for himself and his husband, Adam Bonnett. Raw slate flooring flows from the entry to the dining area, where glassand-aggregate concrete walls tie the home to the landscape. The 1970s painting is a Lee Reynolds.

Krog outfitted the dining room with a Calacatta marble-topped Saarinen table and chairs from Knoll. A vintage Sciolari chandelier from City Issue in Atlanta adds an ethereal quality to the space. The pair of vintage geometric mirrors is from 1stdibs.

A flat roof and simple wood columns form covered outdoor spaces just beyond the glass walls, creating a fluid transition between the home’s interior and the landscape. The Richard Schultz outdoor furnishings are from Knoll.
Right: In one of the guest rooms, vintage resin artwork is above a Harvey Probber cabinet with caned sliding doors. The vintage nesting tables with original smoked glass are by Cassina. Opposite: Krog hung a Lee Reynolds painting above a bed from Modernica in one of the guest bedrooms. The Bertoia chair in the corner is from Knoll. A vintage ceramic lamp resting on the bedside table, which is also from Modernica, lends texture to the space.

The grayish-brown hue, the glass walls and the restrained form of the structure let the home blend into the desert terrain, making nature the focal point. Krog designed the landscape area around the house to seamlessly flow with the topography so the mountain feels like part of the property.

A HANDMADE TALE IN PACIFIC PALISADES, A BESPOKE HOME CELEBRATES A YOUNG FAMILY’S PASSIONS AND INTERESTS. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARYN MILLET / STYLING BY SUNDAY HENDRICKSON

M
ay Sung takes a client-centered approach to her practice. “I like to create homes, not houses for my own ego,” says the architect. It’s a philosophy that has served her well, particularly for a recent commission for friends in Pacific Palisades. After years of renting, Yahlin Chang, a writer and co-executive producer of The Handmaid’s Tale TV series, and her husband decided to build a custom home. As with any ground-up project, there were myriad considerations but the primary objective was to create an abode that referenced Yahlin and her husband’s time on the East Coast—they met at Yale—and to encourage a love of reading in their children. With a storage unit full of books that hadn’t seen the light of day in years, the homeowners knew library space was also a must. “The idea of creating something from scratch specifically tailored to our needs was quite appealing and working with an architect that understood our family made a lot of sense,” says Yahlin. The couple had hoped their new home would blend with the neighborhood’s traditional styling, but they also wanted something one-of-a-kind. “The intellectual idea was that the house would be a Cape Cod with a Postmodern twist,” says Yahlin. The result is an inventive H-shaped plan with wings in white clapboard and a receding central section clad in black metal. From that concept, “the rest all fell in line,” says Sung, who worked with general contractor Joel Fischer and his associate, Jerry Luza, on the project. One wing consists of the garage and kitchen on the main floor, with the children’s rooms upstairs; the other contains a playroom, guest room and Yahlin’s office on the ground floor, with a large master suite and the husband’s office above them.
Architect May Sung designed the great room in the Pacific Palisades home of writer and producer Yahlin Chang to be sophisticated yet family friendly. The space centers on a painting by Karen Kawarsky. In the living area are an Eames lounge chair from Jules Seltzer Associates and a chandelier from Cassina. A trompe l’oeil wallpaper by Couture DÊco lines the stairwell.
LUXESOURCE.COM / 289
Beyond the Arcadia pivot door, the architect’s dog, Maddy—pals with the family’s Labradoodle, Henry— sits on the entry’s sofa. Above the sofa are a mirror and sconces from RH. Lining the shelves are volumes from the family’s extensive book collection—a key driver in the design and purpose of the home.
290 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Ringed with chairs from Jules Seltzer Associates, the dining area’s Jiun Ho table from Thomas Lavin features a custom stone top from TriStone & Tile. Sung also used the material for the living area’s fire surround.
In the living area are a Vioski sofa in Perennials fabric and a Magni swivel chair upholstered in Lavinder fabric. The coffee table is from Room & Board; the rug is from RH. Max’s Custom Cabinets fabricated the kitchen millwork. There, Sung paired Vitra barstools with a Parachilna pendant fixture. The nearby terrace is furnished with a Kartell sofa and stools and chairs from Herman Miller. Pierre Landscape realized landscape architect Meg Rushing Coffee’s vision for the outdoors.
292 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Decorative artist Nicolas Pasquale Valle painted a ceiling mural of the cosmos—designed to inspire—for the children’s reading room, just off the library tower. The table and seating are from the client’s previous home. Overhead is a light from Mass Beverly.
The structure’s central portion, which contains the clerestoried stairwell or “library tower” as the family calls it, floods the foyer, living area and upstairs reading room with light. “I love the library tower. It’s a great way for anyone coming into our home to get a good sense of who we are right off the bat,” says Yahlin, explaining that their collection of books includes acquisitions made during their university days and her six years in the cultural department at Newsweek, in addition to many inherited from family. “As we moved from place to place, we’d shed different possessions but always keep our books with us in the hope that one day we’d have a place to put them all. For the first time, we finally have all the shelf space we need.” While the shelving itself is located on the second floor, a bookshelf-print wallpaper that playfully mirrors the collection is visible on entering the home. The wallcovering, witty and understated, reflects the rest of the interiors, which Sung also oversaw. “We definitely wanted a clean palette and cool colors,” says Yahlin. But she was less sure of how she wanted the furnishings to look. “My taste really developed during the process. May was able to translate our desires into a style that was perfect for us,” she says. In the great room, where Sung installed a traditional coffered ceiling, the family now enjoys contemporary pieces and a few midcentury classics like an Eames lounge chair and Cherner dining chairs. Space was also made for the family’s Steinway (“Music is an important part of our lives—my sisters and I grew up playing classical piano,” says Yahlin.) and an art collection that features works by Canadian watercolorist John Bennett and an abstraction by Karen Kawarsky, commissioned specifically for the dining area. Titled Dusk, it was inspired by an aerial view of the handmaids and the importance the showrunner and costume designer placed on finding just the right shade for the characters’ now-iconic red cloaks. Meaningful touches continue in the adjacent kitchen where a pendant fixture recalls Chinese lanterns, a nod to Yahlin’s Taiwanese heritage.
LUXESOURCE.COM / 295
In the master bedroom, artwork by John Bennett hovers above the Vioski bed and night tables. The Liaigre lamps, Romo banquette fabric and de Le Cuona drapery sheers are from Thomas Lavin. Santa Cruz Designs fabricated the custom banquette and window treatments. An RH carpet grounds the space. The walls are painted in a Farrow & Ball shade.
Standing in a corner of the master bathroom, the tub and the tub filler are by Waterworks. Above the vanities are pendants from Niche and a mirror from Room & Board. The tile is from Ann Sacks.
Personalized designs persist upstairs, too. Inspired by the decorative ceiling of a Manhattan bookstore, Sung proposed a mural of the cosmos for the reading room. “It’s a lovely place for the kids to do their homework,” says Yahlin. Contributing a further fanciful twist, says Fischer, “We painted the sprinkler heads gold so that they would blend in with the stars and planets painted on the ceiling.” In the master suite, the goal was serenity but with one special addition: The husband requested a secluded office. “He wanted privacy, so we created a secret bookcase door,” says Sung. Outside, Sung worked closely with landscape architect Meg Rushing Coffee to navigate restrictions concerning the
protected oak trees on the lot. Besides devising a seating and dining space off the great room, “We created a lower play area off the main rear entertainment and dining terrace from the house,” Coffee explains. “The yard then slopes gradually to the rear property line.” Sung notes that a sense of fun threads through the indoors and outdoors. But achieving that feel wasn’t as easy as it seems. In fact, Yahlin points out, it consumed the architect: “She really went above and beyond. She would dream about our house at night!” For the architect, though, love is the reason. “You’ve got to love your home,” she says, and credits the homeowners, adding, “because they were so involved, the love is even greater.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 297

BAUHAUS BOLD WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATHRYN GIVEN
“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.
