EDITOR’S LETTER
Designers are increasingly seeking out bespoke pieces for their clients, such as this bold wall treatment by MJ Atelier (right).
Welcome to our annual Luxury Report issue dedicated to luxury in all its forms and iterations. To prepare for this issue, our editors reached out to designer-friends to ask, “How do you define luxury?” It’s interesting to read their responses. Certainly, it’s not about extravagance or price. For many, it’s about comfort, calm and a sense of peace in an otherwise noisy and somewhat chaotic world. Luxury is most definitely about anything that is made with great care and an attention to detail. I think it’s also about originality, which seems to be rarer to find these days. Most anything that’s elusive or slightly out of reach can be perceived as luxurious. Of course, time is the ultimate luxury: The idea of waiting for something to be made, (while we’re all programmed for instant gratification these days) seems sumptuous. I can relate to Ken Fulk’s response—that luxury is about the little things, like the scent of fresh-clipped flowers or an unplanned Sunday spent on the sofa. Can’t count how many weekends I’ve fallen into a nap on my red English roll arm, with a paperback novel atop my lap and my two Shih Tzu’s curled up beside me. Heaven!

RADAR / CUSTOMIZATION
Fashion designer Michael Kors once said, “A man in a well-tailored suit will always shine brighter than a guy in an off-the-rack suit.” With customization on the rise, many designers could apply the sentiment to homes outfitted with bespoke elements—including Achille Salvagni, principal of his eponymous international architectural and design practice. “In the last 10 years, my clientele has increasingly sought out homes that are oneof-a-kind,” he says. “In many ways, looking for a designer is like looking for a tailor that can make a dress that fits your body perfectly.” He cites a client who recently hired him to create a highly custom home in Mumbai, India. “She wanted a living room that was a portrait of her family,” he explains. “After interviewing

the family members, I created furniture that represents the qualities of each. A sofa embodies the personality of the father, the table is inspired by the daughter—together, all the furniture tells this family’s story.” Maria Apelo Cruz, who co-founded the decorative arts studio MJ Atelier with her husband Mike Jovanovic, also sees an increase in customers seeking one-off wallcoverings, furnishings and lighting. “We are riding the wave of designers who want to bring their ideas to life,” she says. “Today’s clients are looking for conversation pieces that no one else has.” An example is the wallcovering they made for an inveterate video gamer that includes symbology from classics including Zelda, Pac-Man and Pokémon.
Cruz says that bringing a designer’s creations to life requires finding the right craftspeople, and that’s challenging. “Many aspects of quality craftsmanship take a lifetime to master—so by the time you’ve perfected your trade, it’s time to retire,” she says. “Traditionally, a lot of information was passed down through families, but these days, some of the offspring of contemporary craftspeople are pursuing other things.” To keep those skills alive, she and her husband have started

personal aspect that makes the effort and expenditure worth it. The company offers their products in bespoke sizes, colors and fabrics. “Every person has a different idea about what makes the perfect design elements. What could be better than picking your own fabrics in the color combination to make something just for you? Customization is the ultimate expression of luxury.”
Custom designs take the form of personalized wall treatments, such as the one shown on the previous page by MJ Atelier. Other examples include Hammerton Custom’s oneof-a-kind lighting fixtures (top, right); interior furnishings by Achille Salvagni (center); and personalized linens by Matouk (below, left).

a teaching guild—and to the couple’s delight, they are discovering an eager audience. “The stereotype of a millennial is a person staring at a computer screen,” Cruz says. “But we’ve found many young people who want to learn how to paint, draw and gild.” That’s not to say there’s no place for computer screens in today’s customization climate. In fact, technology is facilitating even higher levels of tailored details. “These days, we have old-world techniques and modern tools living together—you’ll find an anvil next to computer-driven cutting equipment,” says Paul Verbecky, the general manager at Hammerton Custom. “Computer modeling is enabling us to do things we couldn’t have imagined in the past—we recently created a model showing a 6,000-pound fixture that’s 25 feet at its widest point. It’s the easiest and fastest way to show how a piece like that would look in a space.” But custom design takes longer and is more expensive to produce—so why are more consumers seeking it out? George Matouk, Jr., CEO and president of the linen company that bears his family’s name, believes it’s the

“Ravishing, beautifully crafted porcelain. My porcelain dinnerware service that I produced for de Gournay is the epitome of luxury—not only in its craftsmanship, but in its finesse, beauty and the way that it translates traditional luxury into a modern vernacular.” –JEFFREY BILHUBER, BILHUBER.COM
IN A CULTURE WHERE MOST EVERYTHING IS READILY AVAILABLE, SOMETHING BESPOKE OR CUSTOMIZED, IS TRULY SPECIAL.” –HOLLY OGDEN, WISEMANANDGALE.COM

The Mara Credenza by Orior Furniture is madeto-order and constructed of Irish green marble.
“Whether it’s walnut, oak, teak, cedar or a more exotic species— cladding spaces in a warm, organic material is super luxurious.” –JAMIE BUSH, JAMIEBUSH.COM
“It always has been, and always should be, simplicity.” –MASON ST. PETER, MASONSTPETER.COM
“It’s the little things … the scent of fresh-clipped roses brought in from the garden or an unplanned Sunday afternoon spent on the sofa reading the paper with a dog, or three.” –KEN FULK, KENFULK.COM
“Natural lighting is luxurious. Interiors that have light streaming in from multiple, and sometimes unexpected, directions are the most successful.” –MAX STRANG, STRANG.DESIGN
“Soft velvet upholstery, well-worn rugs, handmade tile, antiques, Dutch oil paintings, shelves of great books— all things comfortable, approachable and classic.” –JESSICA HELGERSON, JHINTERIORDESIGN.COM

“You can never go wrong with custom lighting and furniture, large windows, gorgeous woodwork and top-of-the-line appliances.” –LAURA KEHOE, LAURAKEHOEDESIGN.COM
“Luxury is embracing the beauty of the past while staying true to your own personal style and keeping modern technologies at a minimum.”
“Bill and Babe Paley’s apartment on Fifth Avenue. Between their incredibly important modern art collection, curious and cultured 18th- and 19th-century European furniture, silk satins, and the beautiful architectural backgrounds, nothing could epitomize luxury more.”

Comfort ZONE
TIMOTHY CORRIGAN TEAMS UP WITH PERENNIALS TO CREATE FABRICS AND RUGS THAT WORK INDOORS AND OUT. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY DICKERSON
Timothy Corrigan is a self-proclaimed “Perennials freak.” With the debut of his new seven-fabric, three-rug collection, Perennials by Timothy Corrigan, the celebrated designer has put his own stamp on the high-performance fabric company’s “rugged yet beautiful” ideology. Luxe got the scoop on this exciting collaboration and why indoor-outdoor textiles are the future of design. You are crazy about high-performance fabrics. I’ve been using performance textiles for years— back when they were still ugly striped canvases! I realized early on, if you don’t have to worry about how you’re living in a house then it makes such a difference. I know some people who won’t let anyone drink red wine in their home, and I hate everything about that! When it is a “look but don’t touch” zone, then you’re not comfortable, your family isn’t comfortable and your guests aren’t comfortable. And the appeal of Perennials? It’s a gamechanger. Not all performance fabrics are created equal, and Perennials is kind of fanatical with how its fabrics perform. Also, the rugs feel like the
finest wool or silk. The company’s beautiful, soft carpet is stain-proof, which is exactly what people want. Customers want beauty and practicality. What was the spark for your collection? I have offices in Paris and Los Angeles, so my aesthetic is very much European-inspired, but through a casual California filter. In this collection there’s a fabric that is almost like an Italian tapestry, which is called Go for Baroque. There are also chinoiserie options, one which is inspired by a Chinese wallpaper and another that is reminiscent of an 18th-century interpretation of a French chinoiserie. You skew traditional, while Perennials leans contemporary. This was a real leap for Perennials. Ann Sutherland, who started the company, isn’t naturally drawn to the warmer colors and classical styles that I use but she said, “That’s why we need you!” I told her, “This is not going to be in your comfort zone. Be ready for it.” What’s in the crystal ball for performance fabrics? It’s important to see these fabrics as
“Clients want beauty and practicality,” says designer Timothy Corrigan of his latest performance fabric and rug collection with Perennials.
something to be used indoors and figuring out how more products can be performance based. We’ll also see an expansion into materials like wood finishes with marine varnish so people don’t have to worry about putting down a glass. The future of design is influenced by consumers who are not willing to make the trade-off between performance and beauty.

THE LATEST TABLETOP FINDS ADD A TOUCH OF ARTFUL LIVING TO THE EVERYDAY. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE
This season’s spirited tabletop selections are making it easy to transform everyday place settings into luxurious works of art. Each piece offers a creative expression while also evoking a bold sense of time and place. Consider Buccellati’s Doge collection, which inspirits its Italian craftmanship and pays homage to the splendors of Venetian art with hand-hammered and chiseled silver enhanced with malachite, lapis and red jasper. Closer to home, Michelle Blade looked to her Pacific Northwestern roots for her ceramic Garden Series. Molly Hatch’s Always Collection brings a modern and playful twist to a traditional 18th-century European surface pattern, and Luke Edward Hall’s collaboration with Richard Ginori is based on his love of Greco-Roman mythology. And finally, James Peter Henry morphed his public art installation at TableArt into a limited-edition collection that celebrates “the complexity of a human journey in a possible fourth-dimensional state.”

MARIE SELBY BOTANICAL GARDENS
HIVE ARCHITECTS
“It seems as though we’ve always been destined to have our office at the BOTA (Boulevard of the Arts) Center,” says Hive Architects principal Joe Kelly, of the company’s Sarasota digs in a 1950s former Baker Badcock Furniture Showroom. Ten years ago, when he and his wife/partner, Gwen, used to carpool to work, they would drive past the abandoned midcentury building, occasionally stopping to peek in the windows and envision it as their professional base of operations. Serendipitously, in 2015 Gwen began working with a local developer to breathe new life into the edifice; several tenant build-outs in, the couple decided to fulfill their dream. “Our design studio is strongly rooted in collaboration, so we created an open floor plan to generate our creative philosophy through interaction between team members,” Kelly notes. With its exposed post and beam structure, authentic terrazzo floors, thin aluminum window frames and oversize glazing, the building proved an ideal platform for the materiality of the design studio’s simple wood panels, hot rolled steel elements and frameless glass partitions that define the work areas. “A space that has been tailored to your every need is not something we’ve experienced before,” says Kelly. “Our office is now an asset to our practice, facilitating our desired work environment and accounting for our functional and aesthetic desires.” hivearchitects.com
NAPLES BOTANICAL GARDEN In addition to the attractions you’ll always find here—like the Water Garden, which calls to mind Monet’s water lily pool, and the 90-acre Preserve that serves as a playground for eagles, tortoises and otters—Fall Walk in the Garden takes place October 17-31. In lieu of golden leaves and autumn breezes, marking the change of seasons is a gorgeous mélange of fall species burgeoning across the property: the Coreopsis plant with its yellow, daisy-like blooms in the Scott Florida Garden; the Cassia roxburghii in the Lea Asian Garden (left), whose drooping branches are festooned with bursts of pink and peach flowers, and, in Irma’s Garden, the Colvillea racemosa, or Colville’s Glory, bearing cone-shaped clusters of vivid orange blossoms. naplesgarden.org THE FLORIDA BOTANICAL GARDENS It may still be blazing outside, but this 100-acre nature park takes on a different look as summer segues into fall and species bloom that normally don’t year-round, such as the gorgeous purpleblue African Iris with its three-pointed orange stamen and the Crown of Thorns bursting with striking pink bracts (right). But even if you visit specifically to take in the special sights of the season, don’t miss the Demonstration Gardens, Formal Gardens and Natural Areas interconnected by paved paths and a boardwalk, which extends into shady wooded areas that serve as lovely verdant refuges from the heat. flbg.org

FIRST LOOK
From banyans to bromeliads, waterfalls to walking paths and everything in between, the 15 acres of flora, vegetation, greenhouses and interactive stations at this legendary “living museum” have been a draw for locals and visitors from around the world since opening in 1975 as a tribute to pillar of the Sarasota community Marie Selby. Every year at this time, events are added into the mix, like the 39th Annual Juried Photographic Exhibition, held September 7-29, which welcomes participation by the public; the annual Orchid Show from October 12 to November 24, and the Garden Music Series, taking place over three Sunday afternoons: October 13, 20 and 27. selby.org
DATE BOOK ALEXIS FRASER
“Sealed with a kiss” takes on new meaning when applied to the art of Alexis Fraser. After establishing herself as an oil painter and portraitist, the Sarasota-based artist began experimenting with other methods—and landed on lipstick. Today, she works by applying and reapplying it, then kissing the canvas. The resulting images range from celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, Jackie O. and Madonna, to tropical fauna—think flamingos, sea turtles and pelicans. “I have always ached to live where the air was warm and the sun was constantly shining,” admits the Chicago native, who relocated to Florida in 2017. Here, the artist—now aptly known as Lipstick Lex—shares with Luxe how she takes advantage of her beloved subtropical lifestyle on any given day. lipsticklex.com 9:30 a.m. I hit up my new favorite coffee/brunch bar in downtown Sarasota, The Overton, for some cold-pressed coffee and smoked salmon and greens on toast. The atmosphere is bright, modern, hip and cheery. They also have an iced sparkling green tea that is the perfect refresher on a hot morning. 10:30 a.m. Following breakfast, I head to the Ringling Bridge to get my body moving, clear my head and reflect before starting the day. After a lovely outdoor shower on my lanai, I’m off to my studio (top, left), which is this cute yellow “sheshed” on our property. I spend a few hours catching up on emails, online networking and, of course, creating new art. When I create, I love to listen to some of my favorite podcasts or audio books. If I’m 36 / luxesource.com
having difficulty getting into my zone, I’ll crank some music instead to inspire and motivate me. 2:30 p.m. Usually at this point in the day I’m jonesing to grab a bite or run errands for a change of scenery. If I’m in need of traditional art supplies, I’ll head to our local art store, Art and Frame of Sarasota. If it’s new lipsticks that I need, I’ll drive over to the gorgeous UTC mall and do a bit of shopping at Sephora or MAC. I may or may not hit up Anthropologie on the way out! 5 p.m. On a Wednesday or Friday, you can find me at Cafe Barbosso, a semi-secret Italian gem where artists paint and sell their art while guests wine and dine. The restaurant is a great platform for me to demonstrate my process
and answer questions while meeting a variety of people. Our family loves the beach at sunset and we head there almost every weekend. We can often be spotted at the Siesta Key Public Beach drum circle (bottom, right), which takes place every Sunday during sunset hours. You can participate with a hula hoop or sit back and watch from the sidelines with glass of wine or a cocktail in hand. 7:30 p.m. On date nights, we almost exclusively go to our favorite farm-to-table restaurant, Indigenous. It’s one of those places that caters to the true foodies of Sarasota. We like to take our time and order all the courses. While I have been left speechless by many of the dishes, the mushroom bisque soup wins every time.

After 20 years working in fashion, filling the roles of senior interior designer for Banana Republic and store design creative director for White House Black Market, David Fruscione has channeled his passion for retail and merchandising to the home decor industry. “A previous job brought me to Southwest Florida and I fell in love with Naples,” he explains. “I was surprised there were not a lot of specialty home decor stores in the area and said to myself, ‘Let’s give it a shot!’ ” Here, he takes Luxe’s questions about what’s hot at home and in store. republicofdecor.com
ON VIEW So fundamental are textiles to India’s identity that in ancient times the word “India” was used as a synonym for “cotton.” Hundreds of years of international trade shaped by the export of Indian textiles are a testament to the lively aesthetic exchange engaged in by artisans whose work reflected the culture of their clients. On display in the Ringling Museum of Art’s Searing Galleries through October 13, “The Fabric of India” showcases more than 140 examples of breathtaking traditional dress, meticulously preserved fabrics and of-the-moment fashion from London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and private collections that exemplify the range, sophistication and adaptability of Indian textiles from the 15th to the 21st centuries, as well as how Indian textiles have been interwoven with religion, politics and global trade for centuries. ringling.org
How is Republic of Decor different from other local showrooms? I am always on the hunt for unique things. I source products from 100 lines and artists and masterfully mix them so the experience is very curated. The shop feels really fresh and reflects what is going on in the industry. Do you have any favorite items? My latest obsession is resin, and we’ve got fabulous tabletop and decorative pieces that are all one of a kind. I also love wallpaper and get customers excited with our inspiration wall filled with the most gorgeous wallcoverings out there. Homes in Naples are large and need decor that is scaled appropriately, so we always carry a mix of sizable statement pieces. What design trends do you predict for fall? I think Naples will continue toward a more modern/transitional design aesthetic, moving away from the Tuscan influences that have dominated for quite

MASTERS OF METAL, WOOD AND CERAMICS, THESE LOCAL ARTISANS ELEVATE THEIR CRAFT TO A NEW LEVEL.
▲ WOOD STREET STUDIO
LUXE SURFACE DESIGN STUDIO ⊲ After running a remodeling business in Germany, in 2016 Justyna and Mariusz Dejcz moved to Naples—one of their longtime favorite vacation spots—with the goal of doing “something artistic.” Their new venture specializes in extraordinary finishes for walls and interior surfaces, including more than 500 texture options and handmade liquid metal applications. Mariusz devises all the patterns himself, working with interior designers and architects to guide them through possibilities. And, since launching, they’ve expanded to also offer rugs and Farrow & Ball paint and wallcoverings, such as handcrafted, metallic print wallpapers newly introduced for fall-winter and available exclusively in the region at their studio. “As soon as you step into our showroom, you get a sense of our artisan work,” Mariusz says. “From the beginning, designers would walk in and comment, ‘I feel like a kid in a candy store!’ ” mariuszmetals.com

“We are a small business,” notes Dale Rieke, referring to his Sarasota-based custom furniture company. “I do the drawings and designs and am involved in every step of the process right up to finish and install.” All Rieke’s pieces are made with book-matched lumber, using sequenced boards from the whole of the tree. “That’s something not many furniture makers can offer,” Rieke points out—but he can, because he has his own sawmill and kiln and cuts wood from trees that have died, were casualties of a storm or have been cleared to make way for development. He then transforms them into slab tables and benches, credenzas, and custom built-ins for residential clients. “It’s important to save this beautiful, valuable wood from the chipper and so wonderful to make furniture that can also be part of a story of conservation,” he says. “That gives it extra-special meaning.” woodstreetstudio.com
UPRIVER CERAMICS ⊲ Matt Kearney was only 14 when he took an apprenticeship alongside Korean Master Potter Ki Woon Huh, a perfectionist who has been known to smash his own creations to pieces if he deems them less than flawless. The experience of working under Huh crystallized Kearney’s future. “I learned to appreciate the process and the infinite techniques for adding texture, design, color and the use of negative space,” says the Sarasota native, who fashions intricately detailed ceramic works, such as his Mangrove Series of bowls with latticework edges and sculptures like Dawn of Man (right) and The Oasis (far right). “The possibilities are endless.” Today, in his studio-gallery in downtown Bonita Springs, visitors can observe him working on tableware and fine art pieces, which have won awards from the Fine Arts Society of Sarasota and been displayed in the Florida State Capitol building in Tallahassee. upriverceramics.com

“I love using bold color in a room that feels unexpected,” explains Houston-based designer Lauren Haskett of this sophisticated butler’s pantry scheme that packs a punch with its sensuous blue shade. Traditionally, the kitchen has been a neutral zone where clients steered clear of adventurous tones. Yet today designers are turning to bright and dramatic designs in the kitchen’s auxiliary spaces: Think glamorous and vivid gem tones in a prep kitchen, butler’s pantry or wet bar. These more modest areas are being transformed into rich jewel boxes—a surprising departure from what was once a purely functional room. As Haskett notes, “Color really sets the tone of the room.” So why not add some drama to peeling potatoes and storing spaghetti sauce?

THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH
PANTRY PERFECT LAUREN HASKETT
While using a strong color took some persuading (Black was the original pick!), designer Lauren Haskett always knew her client’s butler’s pantry needed something fresh. The trick was elevating the design of this space with polished surfaces and elegant details that were in keeping with the rest of this stately home near Fort Worth, Texas. houstoninteriordesign.co Tell us about the function of this space. I call this the butler’s pantry, but it really has a multitude of uses including acting as a connector between the main kitchen, media room and mudroom, so it gets used all the time. As the kitchen space only has one wall of cabinetry, this room doubles as a coffee bar, wet bar, charging station, storage area for china and catering kitchen. Several appliances, including a Perlick refrigerator, Scotsman ice machine and KitchenAid dishwasher, are also housed in the pantry.
A Native Trails sink and Kallista faucet sit in front of a large window that looks out onto the patio and pool. Backsplash tile from Ann Sacks lines the walls.
078 / luxesource.com
Is the same level of sophistication carried throughout the house? The overall aesthetic of the home is definitely on the formal side and even the spaces that are casual still have an elegance to them, so I wanted to make sure the butler’s pantry reflected how refined this residence is. I also wanted to inject a dose of glamour with this grand color.
photos: max burkhalter, max b photo.
The color is so striking. How did you select it? I’m so happy we went with Hague Blue because there is so much depth to it; it can go green, blue and gray all at the same time. However, what’s most important when working with a darker color in a space is to incorporate contrast, so it won’t ever feel like a cave. Here, we added lighter countertops, pale wallpaper, metallic hardware and glass-front cabinets that bounce light around.

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl, the designers behind West Hollywood, California, firm Studio Life.Style, wanted to make sure the spaces they created for a clients’ home in Los Angeles had longevity and an enduring aesthetic for their growing family. In the boy’s bathroom they decided to focus on a scheme that was fun and playful yet sophisticated enough to stand the test of time. “Patterned tiles are a great way to bring in color,” the designers explain of a bath area lined with graphic greenand-white tiles, a combination that feels less expected than the traditional blue and brings in bit of whimsy. studio-lifestyle.com 084 / luxesource.com

OUR ANNUAL DEEP DIVE INTO REAL ESTATE AND THE SHEER LUXURY OF HIGH-RISE LIVING. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL
PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE
MOVING ON UP Over the last few years, more and more people have been gravitating toward cities and the vibrant lifestyle that high-rise living delivers. Young executives, international professionals, families and retired couples are looking for ease, convenience and walkability—museums, restaurants and schools at their doorstep—but all within the frame of luxury living. To meet the demand, developers are turning to the world’s most respected architects and designers to create residential buildings that meet every need, and quite a few whims. A latenight cognac and a game of billiards? A sunrise swim in the infinity pool overlooking the city? It’s all possible. And while the amenities are designed to feel resort-like, they are also intended to feel like home.

On the
RISE
The Harrison, on Rincon Hill in San Francisco, was ahead of the curve when it devoted its penthouse floor not to the preeminent condo but to its residents’ pleasure—a democratizing move that new developments are following. There, designer Ken Fulk, who designed all of the property’s public spaces, created Uncle Harry’s, a green-lacquered lounge that lets everyone take in the 49th floor’s spectacular vistas. “With 180-degree views spanning from the ocean to the bay, we imagined this as the sky-high aerie of a bon vivant explorer that just happens to be your favorite uncle,” says Fulk. Accessed by a grand entry salon, the floor includes a dining room, pantry, fitness center and spa. It’s an homage to the city’s elegant and continental spirit, just with Fulk’s signature pizazz. theharrisonsf.com

OPEN BOOK JEFFREY BEERS
Lobby library at 277 Fifth Avenue “Our design reflects the energy and sensibility of NoMad,” says Jeffrey Beers of his vision for 277 Fifth Avenue. “It’s my favorite neighborhood in New York, so it was easy to be inspired by the area’s historical buildings and creative vibe.” Making a traditional statement in thoroughly modern style is the lobby library, one of the building’s most sophisticated amenities. 277fifth.com Why a library? In the building’s lobby entrance, we really wanted to make an instant “welcome home” statement. Describe the look. Handsome, sensible, tailored and timeless. Tell us about the features. If you look closely, you’ll see the library mimics the building’s exterior. It’s beautifully made with dramatic, double-height cases and incredible wood detailing. While we have an affection for designing bookcases (I’m an avid book collector), we prefer to collaborate with renowned publishers like Assouline to curate what goes onto the shelves.

HIGH SOCIETY
FOUR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS CHAT ABOUT LUXURY AMENITIES AND THE FUTURE OF HIGH-RISE LIVING.
CURT R. BAILEY
LEONARD STEINBERG
KEVIN BATCHELOR
BRIAN LEVITT
What trends are you seeing in the high-rise sector? Developers will increasingly cater to families who appreciate the benefits of urban living—a graciously designed residence that extends to worldclass amenities for all generations. Must-have amenity: Fitness centers. I want state-of-the-art equipment, first-class service, innovative programming, and well-designed spaces that offer communal cardio workouts to private Pilates sessions. relatedmidwest.com
Why is the high-rise market so hot? Time is the last luxury, and high-rise living delivers convenience. Elevating yourself above the city allows you to enjoy all its joys while separating yourself when it’s time to relax and unwind. Amenities on the horizon: Wind turbines on top, generating energy for the entire building and a landing pad for drone deliveries. Security will become much greater, too. compass.com
Who’s moving in? In the past decade, we have seen a downsizing trend amongst empty nesters, gypsy nesters and older millennials. What’s luring them? This demographic wants walkability and a 24-hour, lock-and-leave lifestyle. Everyone wants their own personal concierge to handle everything from dry cleaning and food deliveries to tickets to the opera. They’re looking for higher-quality, personalized butler-style services. You can’t beat the hyper-convenience. hines.com
What amenity is most important to you? Where we live has a profound effect on our well-being and I’m all for beautifully designed common spaces that encourage gathering. How do you see the high-rise lifestyle advancing? People choose condo living because they want to know their neighbors. There needs to be a renewed focus on creating memorable experiences that build a stronger connection between people, place and community. navareal.com

TOP CHEF
15 Hudson Yards, a collaboration between architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Rockwell Group, who oversaw the interiors, has devoted its 51st floor to entertaining amenities that will thrill epicureans and oenophiles alike. Not only are there private dining suites and a speakeasylike wine storage facility, but also a chef’s kitchen and wine tasting room. Rockwell defined the kitchen with a monolithic stone island and opted for leather counter stools in shades of gray and green—all in keeping with the project’s focus on natural materials and interiors that are, “simultaneously calm and strong,” he says. Adding to the gastronomic delights are the property’s restaurants by such luminaries as Thomas Keller and José Andrés. hudsonyardsnewyork.com

hey’ve never seen Morocco in person, but Thomas Bodnar and Liza Santo wanted the style of the North African country to inform the design of their Kalea Bay condominium in Naples. “Perhaps the movie Casablanca planted the seed of inspiration,” Bodnar says. “There’s passion in Moroccan design, and we wanted that vibe for our home.” So they brought the idea to their interior designer, Renée Gaddis. For Gaddis, the Kalea Bay complex is familiar territory, as she’s completed several projects there. But the idea of a Moroccan-style interior in Naples was a new and welcome concept for her. “When a client comes to me with something different, it’s exciting,” Gaddis says. Even so, she knew she did not want a literal translation of the style. “There can be a fine line between ‘inspired by’ and kitsch,” says Gaddis, who turned to Instagram for recent photos of Moroccan architecture. “I wanted it to look elegant, not like a themed restaurant.” The decision to utilize traditional Moorish motifs but in neutral colors was also driven by the work of the late Joseph Glasco, an American artist who frequently used shades of black, ivory and gray in his paintings. “Glasco’s style lends itself to the theme,” says Bodnar, who collects his work. “All the pieces we purchased seemed to fall into place—they complement the rooms and enhance the mood.” Next, Gaddis turned her attention to “breaking the box” of the condo’s form. “We wanted to install can lights and accent lighting for the art, but this is a condo, so normally that would involve dropping the ceiling by four inches, which is not something we wanted to do,” she says. Enter general contractor Chad Smith. “Instead of lowering the ceiling, we attached LED backlit panels to it,” he explains. “It was a

challenge, but after Renée designed them and we installed them, they looked incredible.” Gaddis notes that the panels not only provide a place for the lighting to live, but they also add a unique architectural element. “Anytime you can make a condo more than four flat walls and a ceiling, that’s a good thing,” she says. “These dropped panels read as a kind of modern take on a coved ceiling.” After that change was made, the team turned their attention to a vertical surface—specifically a shower wall in the master bath, which they replaced with a floor-to-ceiling sheet of glass, effectively creating a glass box. “Having a see-through shower is not a standard choice,” Gaddis says. “Sure, you sacrifice some privacy, but in return you get to enjoy a stunning water view while showering or bathing, plus a lot of natural light in the bathroom.” With the background in place, it was time to reinterpret the architectural details Gaddis discovered early in her research. In the kitchen, the oversize sculptural back of the banquette is reminiscent of the arched doorways found in Moroccan riads, the traditional houses of the country. “This is a large family,” Gaddis says, adding that Bodnar and Santo have five children. “They wanted to have a casual spot to gather and opted to forgo a formal dining area. But the back of the banquette does lend it a certain sophistication.” That flavor carries to the adjacent kitchen, where the pattern of the tile backsplash mimics the lines of the banquette. Gaddis designed the light fixtures composed of clusters of pierced-metal spheres through Tazi Designs, a company that specializes in Moroccan imports. “These are some of my favorite items in the house,” Santo says. “They glow during the day and cast interesting patterns at night.” The darker hues of Glasco’s art set the tone for moody neutrals in the family room. “This is meant to be the quiet area,” Gaddis says. “The family can come here to have one-on-one conversations or to watch a movie.” Like the rest of the home, where the neutrals are lighter, it’s texture that provides interest. “In this house, texture brings richness and, in lieu of bright colors, art provides the ‘pop.’ ” Morocco is on the bucket list for this travel-loving family, but until then, the spirit of their Florida home makes for a complete retreat—both physically and stylistically. “We live in a Frank Lloyd Wright-style house in the Midwest, where the winters can be harsh,” Santo says. “In just two hours via plane, we can be here—and the decor and the weather make it feel like we’re a world away. I relax as soon as I walk through the door.”
Interior designer Renée Gaddis fashioned a hanging console for this entry mirror from RH. “We added the chain to give it a Moroccan look,” she says. The geometric-patterned runner also recalls traditional textiles from Morocco.
For this large family, a gathering space requires considerable seating; Gaddis provided it with a custom sectional fabricated by Raebecca Drapery by Design. Armchairs by Burton James are covered with a Schumacher fabric in St. Marks Print. Distinctive fretwork is carved into the marble coffee table by Global Views.

At the start of the project, Gaddis turned to Instagram for recent photographs depicting Moroccan architecture. Her research led to the lines of the banquette back, which was crafted by Raebecca Drapery by Design and upholstered in Kravet fabric. Palecek chairs surround a Theodore Alexander table.

The clients’ art collection also inspired the decor. Homeowner Thomas Bodnar feels artist Joseph Glasco’s paintings “perfectly complement” the style. On one end of the living room, the designer accented a pair of paintings with a hand-carved Oly Studio bench and a Hooker Furniture chest.

EXPLORER CHANNELED INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST CHAD JENSEN LETS THE MATERIALS TAKE THE LEAD. WRITTEN BY LAURA MORGAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY EDWARD LINSMIER

Naples artist Chad Jensen prefers creating physical prototypes to digital mockups. The latticework (below) is a study for an interior architectural feature, the resolution and finish samples (right) are for a new furniture design, and his Tippy Table (above) is shown next to an earlier model.
here’s no such thing as a typical day for Chad Jensen, the artist, designer, furniture maker and founding director of Method & Concept, a gallery, art consultancy and design firm in Naples. “I find as much pleasure working with strictly sculptural forms as I do making furniture, curating exhibitions, developing products and advising clients on interior projects,” says Jensen. As one of the first graduates of Detroit’s College for Creative Studies’ revolutionary interdisciplinary art and design program, Jensen got an early lesson in how to cross-pollinate fine art with industrial design. His resulting fascination with producing “functional sculpture” still guides him today. As he notes, “I’m creating a visual experience but also inviting the audience to physically connect with the work.” Whatever the project, Jensen’s expertise as a craftsman is key. “I’m a tactile person,” he explains. “I’d rather get in the studio and make a scale model or prototype than work behind a computer.” Jensen appreciates the way different materials evoke their own distinct physical and emotional responses—for instance, how wood can seem warm and organic while stainless steel can feel cold and sterile. “For me, material choices have intent and add to the layering of a work,” he says. “I don’t believe designers who have no connection with the process or an understanding of the inherent characteristics of their medium can use those materials to their fullest potential.” Aside from creating his own pieces, Jensen also showcases the work of other artists in his gallery, Method & Concept. The gallery’s parent company, Thomas Riley Artisans’ Guild, provides him access to a 40,000-plus-square-foot studio complete with manufacturing capabilities, which allows Jensen to bring his personal work to life and gives Method & Concept a unique advantage: Not only can Jensen collaborate with exhibiting artists on display concepts; he can also execute the final product. Never one to rest on his laurels, the artist is looking forward to relocating the main gallery to a larger building nearby, The Collective, which will allow him to expand Method & Concept’s programming. Jensen envisions a talent incubator where passersby would be treated to artists in action via the building’s floor-to-ceiling windows. “At any given point in the day,” he says, “it could be me in the window making my furniture, another artist throwing ceramics on the wheel, or someone doing woodwork.” And then there’s his mainstay furniture: A new, nature-inspired collection is expected to debut in early 2020. Whatever the outcome, expect it to be multilayered. “I never really felt like it was necessary for me to stay within one category,” Jensen says. “Having multiple outlets really allows me to explore every facet of my creativity.”
Made of solid mahogany, leather and wood composite, this chair is one of five pieces, including a dining table, collectively titled Danska.

or Sarasota couple Karin and Domingo Galliano, a tiny screech owl taking up temporary residence in their Siesta Key home during the final stages of construction seemed an almost mystical occurrence. “The house was already built and enclosed,” says Karin. “The owl had to make its way through various passageways to arrive at its destination.” The well-traveled pair read the bird’s unlikely presence as a sign that their new house was exactly where they were meant to land. The couple fell in love with the community while visiting friends and decided to put down roots in the area. Desiring an airy, ultra-modern home scaled for flexible use, they turned to married architects Jody Beck and Ross-Alan Tisdale to translate their dreams into reality. Charged with creating flowing, adaptable spaces that could accommodate just the clients or easily expand to host their children and grandchildren, Beck and Tisdale decided to divide the home into two zones: the couple’s main quarters and a private guest wing. Separated from the main living area by a tall breezeway, the guest spaces can be accessed independently at entry level or from an open-air catwalk on
the second floor. “The zones are under one roof, but they function quite separately,” Tisdale says. The L-shaped home embraces a courtyard, a configuration designed to create a pseudo-waterfront view by focusing attention inward toward the pool. “The bedrooms have private balconies overlooking a shared outdoor space, like a Spanish-style hacienda,” Beck says. “Enjoying the outdoors is one of our favorite pastimes,” Karin says, “thus the indoor-outdoor concept was crucial.” However, the home’s location in a flood zone required a 6 1/2-foot elevation change between the first floor and grade. To meet this requirement, Beck and Tisdale thought in terms of lifting the ground to meet the structure. “The back patio is raised so that it connects to the interiors on the same plane,” Tisdale explains, “then gently steps back down to grade via a cascade of concrete plinths.” He credits the terrazzo-like finish of these white shell-topped concrete terraces—one of many refined touches specified by landscape designer Tim Borden and implemented by Ampersand Construction—as the key to their visual impact. For the grounds, Borden conceived a lush, exciting landscape that would not compete with

the architecture, noting that “order and jungle-y chaos” coexist amid a blend of clean edges and more organic arrangements of vegetation. The rest of the exterior palette is pared down to essentials: stucco, steel, aluminum and wood. “We used rich-stained cypress in the breezeway and balconies where it’s protected from weather,” Beck says. Exuberant color elements are sensitively used throughout to achieve visual drama, such as a luminous coral-pink wall above the pool, lime green entry doors, and slender columns painted an eggplant hue, Tisdale notes, “to celebrate their structural importance.” To amplify the feeling of spaciousness throughout, designer Schuyler Galliano—who is also the homeowners’ daughter-in-law—selected streamlined furnishings. Porcelain and hardwood floors contrast with crisp white walls, which provide a backdrop for the couple’s collection of abstract art. “They wanted hard angles and a spare, Scandinavian vibe,” says Galliano, who took cues from the architecture by creating a neutral palette with occasional splashes of color. In the living area, for example, she offset a low-profile gray sectional and onyx cocktail table with a chandelier that she powder-coated in a coral hue to match the exterior wall by the pool. Galliano, who has a love of stone, is perhaps proudest of the master bath, with its striking inset of green Brazilian marble in the shower, and the seamless quartz kitchen island that took six men to carry into the house and install. Working to achieve the goals set forth by the homeowners, the architects conceived a layout that is in constant conversation with nature. The first reveal beyond the breezeway entry is an unobstructed view of the courtyard. “Our former residence never had enough patio area to accommodate large crowds,” says Karin, who likes to have live music and plenty of room for dancing when entertaining. In the primary living space—which contains a triple-height living room, open kitchen and dining area—is a wall of floor-to-ceiling folding and stacking glass doors that, when opened, brings the rooms outside. The end result is harmonious and serene, with a home and garden that feel inextricably linked. In describing her deep connection to the residence, Karin returns to the owl’s mysterious appearance. “For me it was an omen,” she says. “This house was destined to be very special in every way, and it has continued to provide enchanting surprises.”

effrey Fisher might be as much a magician as he is a designer. It’s a thought his clients, Debbie and Jim Israel, had more than once during the designer’s transformation of an overwrought Tuscan-style house the couple purchased in the Grey Oaks community of Naples into a vibrant and timeless family home filled with personal details. Almost five years ago, the Israels, who also live parttime in Iowa, spent two months on Sanibel Island. “My husband loved it and was ready to start house hunting immediately,” Debbie says. They bought a home in Naples, but it left something to be desired. “Jim wanted to be on the golf course and before long, we began looking again.” Eventually, they found the Tuscan-style house with a spacious floor plan and expansive vistas of the Grey Oaks golf course. “He fell for the views,” Debbie recalls, “but all I saw was a dark and dated Tuscan.” The floor plan and views won out, and the house became theirs. Soon after, Debbie called Fisher, who had worked on a friend’s home in Naples, and asked him to reinvigorate the residence. During their initial meeting, she informed him she loved color—blue, specifically—and that she wanted the home to be light, bright and inviting. “I wanted it to feel like Florida and not the Midwest,” she says. Not long after the initial meeting, winter came to an end and the Israels headed back to Iowa. Fisher began selecting the finishes, fabrics, furniture and accessories that he would show to Debbie. “A few months later I came back down, and Jeffrey and I spent about a week looking at the things he’d chosen,” she says. “There wasn’t much I didn’t like.” With most of the selections in place, Debbie flew back home and Fisher rolled up his sleeves and got to work. His first order of business was to revamp the exterior, which was clad in what he describes as “dried-apricot-colored” stucco trimmed with white molding. “I painted the entire

house alabaster white,” says the designer, who also stained the front door a dark walnut and maintained the red tile roof. “Doing all white muted the busy details and made it more appealing,” he says. “It took on more of the Spanish style you see in California that everybody loves.” Fisher began the interior remodel in the casual living room, where he removed a set of low-lying ceiling beams that brought down the scale of the room. “This made the space feel larger and more open and airy,” he says. Sofas upholstered in cream linen, a taupe wool rug and a pair of recliners covered in cream leather were then brought in. The space is a counterpoint to all the other rooms, which display brilliant color and patterns, including the formal living room where Fisher installed a sofa wrapped in orange linen and hung navy-and-tangerine draperies in a medallion print that matches the fabric of the sofa pillows. “This is the first room you see when you step into the foyer,” Fisher points out, “so I wanted to set the stage for what’s to come in the rest of the house.” He took color and pattern a step further in the formal dining room, hanging drapery with a turquoise, tangerine and cobalt-blue Asianinspired print. “It’s the same print and colors you see on the wallpaper in the powder bath,” he notes. Debbie had previously mentioned to him that she was born on a U.S. Air Force base in Japan, so the designer wanted to include a few nods to Asian culture. In two of the guest rooms, Fisher employed additional thoughtful elements that speak to who the couple are. “Debbie is a quilter and so was my grandmother, so I understand the charm and craftsmanship of quilts,” Fisher says. The designer asked Debbie to make two quilts for the twin beds to coordinate with the colors they had selected. “When the grandkids come, they sleep under Grandma’s quilts and there’s just something really nice about that,” he says. “It’s one more layer that makes things authentic.” When the entire home had been remodeled and outfitted with new furnishings, the couple returned to Naples to find it met all of their needs—and exceeded their expectations. “The house looked fabulous,” Debbie says. During load-in, however, the design team noticed some tile damage in the living room. So Fisher and his clients made the decision to remove everything from the house and install Legno Bastone wood flooring throughout. And since they would again be working with a blank canvas, they decided to redo the master bath. “We left,” Debbie says, “and Jeffrey came in and worked his magic and then put everything back again.” The Israels returned the following season, and this time their home was nothing short of perfect. “Jeffrey is just awesome,” Debbie says. “In the beginning, there were a few things that I was unsure about, like that orange sofa. But he has such a good ear and a good eye. He said, ‘Trust me on this,’ so I did. And he was right. At first, I was not happy with this house. Now, I love this place.”
Fisher outfitted a guest room foyer with an aerial photograph of St. Martin from Trowbridge Gallery and a Bungalow 5 console table. “The raffia of the console ties to the palapa umbrellas in the photograph and the color on the vases brings the water and the sand to life,� he says.

Opposite: The watercolor print of the Thibaut drapery fabric informed Fisher’s design for the master suite, where a painting by Nicola Bonney from Trowbridge Gallery hangs above a custom linen-upholstered bed from Lillian August dressed in linens from RH. Arteriors mercury glass lamps sit atop faux shagreen nightstands from Made Goods. Below: A Lee Industries chaise longue in the corner of the master suite is upholstered in a beige-and-cream fabric. The aged brass floor lamp is by Jonathan Adler for Robert Abbey, and the painting is by Callie Gray. “The Currey & Company drinks table is inspired by twigs that twist their way up from a clear vase,” Fisher says.

Fisher created an ethereal ambience in the master bath, appointing the space with Powder vinyl wallcovering by Villa Nova. White porcelain tile flooring provides a smooth texture while the metal floral wall sculpture by John Zidek above the Wetstyle tub adds a whimsical note.
