Beauty and Sustainability NEOLITH® STRATA ARGENTUM Space I NEOLITH® Urban Boutique Milan (Italy) I Designed by Héctor Ruiz I Photography: Dámaso Pérez Fototec

Neolith® is an architectural skin capable of dressing up any interior or exterior commercial or residential space where it’s applied from floors and walls to kitchen countertops, facades and even furniture.

The large format minimizes the number of joints in cladding for decorative and hygiene benefits. The minimal thickness allows it to be directly applied to an already existing surface without the need for prior removal.

It’s a low-maintenance material given its special resistance to scratches, stains, chemicals, high temperatures and traffic.

Neolith® also provides the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality given its unlimited possibilities and capacity to resemble all-natural materials like stone, wood and metal.

EDITOR’S LETTER

MUSINGS of HOME Everything we know has changed. These past months as the world literally paused, we found ourselves tethered to our homes—forced to be still, notice and reflect. It was curiosity and boredom, togetherness and aloneness, wanderlust through reading and Netflixing. Food and food and food. Never have so many banana breads collectively been baked.

Observing nature and taking a quiet stroll was a tonic for the soul. We sat in our homes, evaluated our homes, and were grateful for our homes.

Like spring’s green shoots, we are starting to emerge, not knowing exactly how or where we will land.

One thing we know for sure is that we are committing to use our platforms to amplify diverse design voices.

Our incredible team put this summer issue together, working remotely, with great care and attention.

We trust that it will encourage musing; a promise for the spaces that you and yours inhabit.

Clockwise from top: Snapshots in and around my home. An inspiration wall in my art studio/work-from-home space; the afternoon light in my living room; hiking at a nearby nature preserve; a recent sketchbook.

ashville has come a long way since its 1897 designation as the “Athens of the South,” when a to-scale replica of the Parthenon was erected in modern-day Centennial Park. Founded as a river port city—and, later, a railroad hub—Nashville has been known for its enterprising spirit and classical roots, evidenced by a wealth of Georgian and Greek Revival residences dotting the lawns of Forest Hills and Belle Meade. While these landmark neighborhoods serve as the backbone of the community, the city’s design palette has evolved to be as diverse as that of its latest residents hailing from L.A., Austin, New York and beyond.

“Nashville is a perpetual frontier town,” notes DAAD principal Nick Dryden, one of the city’s leading residential and commercial architects, who points to the vast number of transplants moving in, sight unseen, to build businesses and community.

Third in a generational line of architects, Dryden proceeded to transform Nashville’s cityscape with progressive ideas and cleaner profiles, authoring icons such as Rolf & Daughters restaurant and Noelle Hotel, while overhauling historic Germantown. “What I do is narrative architecture, a response to historic context, always tailored to the clients,” says Dryden, who straddles disciplines, nodding to local vernacular while incorporating modern hallmarks that appeal to transplants.

Natives, in turn, feel increasing permission to take design risks themselves.

Adds designer Robin Rains: “Nashville’s historic neighborhoods are steeped in tradition and heritage,” but homeowners wanting to venture beyond the status quo of Southern style “are making the work more challenging and interesting.”

She says a curated mix of antique, vintage and modern is coveted for Nashville interiors regardless of the architectural envelope. Rains, who launched her eponymous business in 2001, also maintains a presence in nearby Franklin and Leiper’s Fork, with an antique store in the latter, and has selected the Nashville Design Collective for her next showroom.

Considered the city’s first large-scale trade resource, the highly anticipated Collective softopened earlier this year thanks to La Cornue alum Anne Puricelli and Design Galleria principal Matthew Quinn, boasting showrooms such as Circa Lighting and Christopher Peacock, with other top brands coming soon. “Young Nashville residents are raising families and turning tradition on its ear,” says Quinn, who recently augmented his longstanding Atlanta flagship with a new location at the Collective. Plus, anticipated additions to the skyline—such as Soho House, developer Tony Giarratana’s 900 Church and the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville—suggest further signs of progress.

Despite its classical roots, the “Athens of the South” may be worthy of a new nickname soon: next big thing.

RADAR / CRAFT

ANYTHING but ARTIFICIAL RESIN BECOMES A PRECIOUS MATERIAL WHEN WORKED BY SOME OF LOS ANGELES’S INNOVATIVE DESIGNERS. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL

Since the 1960s, artists and designers in Los Angeles have turned synthetics into decorative gold with ingenious methods of sculpting plastics into luxurious objects. Whether it’s furniture, accessories or fine art, the medium lends itself to a variety of forms that speak to a truly Californian craft.

When the state became a leader in aerospace technologies in the 1940s, new materials and cutting-edge capabilities, such as facilities that could roll out sheets of acrylic to form aircraft windows, were revelatory for artists.

One leader in the field, designer Charles Hollis Jones, pioneered atmospheric Lucite furnishings that had a profound effect on West Coast interiors. His designs were created with thick sheets of acrylic that allowed them to absorb and magnify light, resulting in a sculptural quality that captured the attention of Hollywood stars like Lucille Ball and Sammy Davis Jr. Today, Jones continues to explore the material with his new Diamond Connexxion line. “Instead of doing square or round shapes, I decided to do something different—people like it,” he says of the angular forms.

But a new generation of California creatives, too, is lured by plastic’s limitless, almost magical properties. Elyse Graham, who first became known for the vase forms she created by coating sand-filled balloons with resin, is “completely seduced by the material,” she says. “So many aspects of it capture my imagination. Most excitingly, I’ve now found a way to reuse it.”

Working with what she calls MetaMaterial (a composite resin made with recast pieces), she makes furniture that bridges art and function. “Each new project builds on the one before it as we discover new ways of working with resin,” says Graham.

For industrial designer and spatial artist Nobel Truong, it’s all an exploration of philosophy and technology. As an “admirer of the structural forms and function that marked Bauhaus architecture,” she creates both theoretical furnishings and playful accessories with laser-cut acrylic panels that slot together. Intrigued by “the play on color and shape pioneered by the Memphis Group,” she also explores the effects of color in her work, especially fluorescent hues.

Putting an emphasis on the whimsical side of the material’s complex nature is artist Betsy Enzensberger. “Resin is an incredibly difficult medium to work with, which is why I’m attracted to it,” she says. Likening the liquid resins she casts and sculpts to honey and syrup, it’s not surprising her works celebrate childhood sweets—ice cream and popsicles—that range in size from 6 inches to 6 feet. “I expect perfection in my work, but it’s about joy. I want to spread smiles,” she says.

LX_COM32_Radar_Craft.indd 56

Artist Betsy Enzensberger uses the familiarity of sweet treats, like her sculpture Vibrant Daydreams made of resin, ink, glitter, pearl powder and plexiglass, to evoke the simplicity and joy so often associated with childhood delights.

“We are a state of immigrants,” notes architect Michael Imber. “When people came here, they brought their own culture and aesthetics, and they adapted those to the materials at hand— and that’s why our architecture has character today.” That character, described by Imber as “sturdy, rugged and embodied with heritage,” has made buildings in the Lone Star State famous, and prompted leading architects around the nation to take note.

When pioneers came to Texas in the 19th century, they found limited materials. In addition to the limestone they could see in the cuts made by rivers, there were stands of mesquite, cypress and post oak trees and a seemingly unlimited supply of reddish-brown dirt for making adobe bricks and earth walls. The settlers began constructing with these, and to this day Texas architects are following suit and using the same resources.

“When we design buildings, we think about what would make them durable and beautiful,” says architect Ted Flato, whose firm has been known to install mesquite floors and make broad use of Texas limestone. “The best materials for this climate are native. Not only

are they beautiful, they make a structure look at home in the landscape.”

For Imber, using endemic sources—such as mesquite, cypress, whitewashed Texas limestone and rammed earth—gives structures meaning.

“It connects them to the past and to the future,” he says. “Architectural styles may come and go, but if there’s a commonality of materials, it makes us feel comfortable. Looking at things we recognize is a nurturing experience.”

It is a look others seek to emulate. “We have clients in far-flung places who fall in love with our work, and they want to build something like it where they live,” says Flato. “When that happens, we begin by looking at the older properties in the area. From there, we can determine what the local materials are—that’s all they had to work with back then. We try to do the same thing with native resources in that particular region.”

Imber believes that indigenous materials are like heritage foods. “When foods became homogenized across the U.S., we lost our individual culture and flavor,” he notes. “It’s the same with building sources. Texas has long been a leader in constructing with local ingredients, and the rest of the country is catching on.”

A FRESH CROP OF FURNITURE ARTISANS CRAFTS WITH CARE.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE

blanchejelly.com Name Game: My company, Blanche Jelly, is named after my great-grandmother.

Not only is it a distinctive name, but I also believe it speaks to a certain sense of time and our special relationship. Changing Direction: Before this career, I worked in political risk analysis for the World Bank and realized being in front of a computer all day wasn’t fulfilling for me. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, I was always drawn to home design, so I knew I was inclined to work with interiors and make things by hand. I moved to New York City and received my MFA in interior design from Parsons, then went to Hudson, New York, where I began making furniture. After my business picked up, I moved back to Portland in 2016. Guiding Fundamentals: People are familiar with my plaster pieces, but I also make hardware that follows similar principles—everything is made by hand in my studio. I do not believe in high-tech gadgets. I use five tools and my pieces don’t look perfect. I am not interested in perfection.

Untapped Element: I’ve been intrigued by working with stone, and I don’t mean the refined kind. Over the years I have collected little river rocks and I’ve wanted to build them into furnishings.

Home GROWN

ELIZABETH PARKER

CASEY MCCAFFERTY casey-mccafferty.com Natural Inclination: Growing up the fourth of five children in Staten Island, my parents let me dabble with any creative endeavor I was obsessed with at that stage. I built computers, worked on mopeds, made fiberglass structures and erected tree forts. Furniture design and woodcraft took hold after graduating college. Coastal Significance: Living on both coasts—the East as a child and the West (Los Angeles) as an adult—I have always loved walks on the beach searching for debris. The textures, colors and overall air of flotsam and jetsam are a huge influence on my work. History Lesson: I’ve been reading a lot about Constantin Brâncuși and Auguste Rodin lately—both famous sculptors with different styles. Their dedication and obsessiveness in what they deemed quality drive me to always dive into and believe in my work. On the Horizon: The “Hello World” table— I’ve had a creative angst regarding the design of the common table since the top will always be a flat surface. So, I made a simple switch of letting the base flow through the tabletop allowing the eye to wander from bottom to top.

JUDE HESLIN-DI LEO Formative Years: I always wanted to be an artist, but it wasn’t until I took a class at Pratt on industrial design that I connected strongly with the work and felt it was my path. While I was pretty lousy at woodworking during those college years, it wasn’t until a few years later during a summer job with Johnny Geraghty, a custom furniture maker, that I learned the traditional methods of Japanese tansu. With the intricacies involved and no allowances for error, my fabrication skills jumped to the next level. Mutual Affection: My biggest early influence was when my friend Bernardo Guillermo and I started designing and making furniture together after graduating college in 2005. We influenced each other— pushing and leaning on one another to make those early pieces happen. Living in Harmony: Earlier this year my family and I moved out of New York City to Cold Spring, New York, where we live on top of a mountain surrounded by wildlife. Everyone in our community does their part to preserve the area’s tranquility and living here has had a tremendous impact on how I connect with the earth, especially when it comes to my work. American Craftsmanship: To me, it is the integration of fine arts, industrialism and technology. It is also about keeping the celebration of the artisan alive.

JUDE HESLIN-DI LEO: VIGNETTE, JON VON PAMER; PORTRAIT, GIEVES ANDERSON. ASPEN GOLANN: PORTRAIT, CHAD WEEDEN.

judeheslindileo.com

ASPEN GOLANN aspengolann.com Go-to Materials: Domestic hardwoods, especially walnut and maple.

Walnut is so classic and the grain is so rich, while the bright, simple tones of maple give furniture such lightness. When bleached, the pieces emanate an almost otherworldly glow. Studio Influence: During my residency here at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, I keep an unruly set of three-ring binders filled with reference images of Greek and Roman statues, iconic pieces of American furniture and objects by unnamed makers that I’ve spotted in thrift stores. Southern Charm: I love the elegance and restraint of traditional furniture forms, especially their properness relating to decorum. While my pieces inspirit antique furniture, I try to dust off the stuffy aesthetic related to classic lines by simplifying, rearranging or recontextualizing older forms and styles. Playing Favorites: Made with my good friend and mentor, Peter Galbert, and commissioned for the wellknown English designer Beata Heuman, the Windsor Settee has so many opposing qualities; it utilizes old-school Windsor chair construction, while the updated proportions and curving of the entire back and undercarriage give it a fluid, sculptural feeling.

WHAT’S in STORE

KES STUDIO

Interior designer Kara Smith is known for her residential, restaurant and hotel designs, among them celebrated florist Eric Buterbaugh’s Los Angeles atelier. Now Smith is launching a new project, KES Studio, to explore her broader interest in creating a fuller lifestyle brand for clients. With a background that includes event planning and even contemporary women’s fashion, Smith’s is a macroscopic view, and one we can’t wait to watch as it unfolds. An online shop is in the works, too. Here, Luxe learns more about her new venture. kes-studio.com What inspired you to launch KES Studio?

It’s a great vehicle for me to express my passion for design with an inspiring clientele. Having a brand with my name on it allows for more latitude in pushing the envelope creatively.

Talk about the services you’ll provide.

A huge focus is on curating interesting pieces of art from around the globe and collaborating with artisans to fashion a more personalized lifestyle for my clients.

Current projects: The Pendry Park City, a Las Vegas hotel wing dedicated to high rollers, and a renovation for a well-known recording artist.

What products will be online? Accessories, custom textiles, bespoke furnishings and vintage finds, like a limited-edition bronze gaming console. I’ll also be launching collaborations with manufacturers, such as Oaklore and Marc Phillips.

OPEN HOUSE SHOPS + SHOWROOMS

Poliform (right) has renovated its flagship showroom (8818 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles). The remodeled 7,200-square-foot store showcases the brand’s innovative furnishings, highlighting how versatile its elements can be: glass walls and partitions, and collections that include closets, wall systems, kitchens and furniture. Brook Perdigon’s latest textile collection, Adaptation, gives classic patterns the designer’s signature imperfect twist (available at Nicky Rising, 8625 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood).

The geometric collection includes four new hand-drawn, hand-screened patterns in multiple colorways, with a focus on geometrics. L.A. furnishings company MASHstudios (2611 W. Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles) has expanded to a 70,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Buena Park, giving them state-of-the-art technology and the ability to scale production and control every element from quality to delivery schedule. They also have full-service millwork capabilities. In addition to collaborating with architects and designers to produce custom workplace furniture, they manufacture a residential line, LAXseries. Interior designer Denise Morrison has launched the latest additions to her House of Morrison collection (1801 Westcliff Drive, Newport Beach). Handmade in Orange County, designs include such charmingly named pieces as the Cuddle Chair. All of Morrison’s pieces are offered in a selection of fabrics, leathers and wood finishes.

POST MASTER @punkmetender

WHO: French-born street artist Punk Me Tender keeps his identity secret, but his works have amassed a celebrity following.

WHAT: Whether it’s graffiti, painting or photography, his pieces are imbued with the fantastical and the unexpected. Recent projects include a mural at the Line Hotel’s new club, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and a pop-up at Fred Segal Sunset.

ALISON KOCH OF OUTFIT HOME

For nearly two decades, interior designer Alison Koch has been honing her craft. She got her start with two well-known names—San Francisco designers Orlando Diaz-Azcuy and Waldo Fernandez—but it wasn’t until striking out on her own with her firm, Outfit Home, that Koch truly refined her vision.

Now, with her Hollywood shop, everyone can pop in to see what’s currently catching her eye, from one-off household accessories to inspired gifts. outfithome.com

IN HIS WORDS: “I love to utilize Instagram to showcase my artwork. It allows for an unfiltered exchange of emotions with the audience and I can focus on my artwork, not my appearance. The beauty of Instagram is its ability make an image travel the world virtually. No other platform can do this for you.”

You founded your firm in 2012. Why was it important to add a shop? I’d been collecting vintage furniture for clients and always loved the idea of a store, since I was working from home.

A coworker spotted a vacant plumbing supply in Hollywood with a homemade “for rent” sign—it was a bit of a risk, but the space was just too cute to pass up.

It’s a pretty quirky spot! I hope this location feels like a discovery for shoppers. The neighborhood has really grown in recent years: Marco Lorenzetto’s art studio is on the corner, Show Gallery features cool artists, Blackwood has coffee and treats, and Bohemia has all sorts of elixirs and tea.

MEET the MAKER

What will visitors find? Vintage furnishings, lighting and accessories, plus our Maison Louis Marie candles. I also have a soft spot for midcentury Italian furniture, but we have items from all eras. Artworks include pieces from Heather James Fine Art on consignment, oil portraits, flea market photos and abstract watercolors. Currently, my favorite piece is a WPA-era educational diorama from 1930.

In 2015, French artist Claire Tabouret moved to Los Angeles on an impulse. She had never visited the city, and she didn’t know a soul—she simply sought “a fresh start and the adventure of a new place,” she says. “I loved L.A. straightaway—the light, the diversity of architecture, the murals, the vegetation, the coyotes at night.

It’s a city full of secrets and mysteries.” She found a Frogtown studio and began producing works that have garnered local and international attention. The upcoming opening of the Pinault Foundation’s new Paris museum, La Bourse du Commerce, will feature some of Tabouret’s work, for which she says, “I am very honored.” Tabouret has created new paintings that will be on display there, and she is working on a forthcoming retrospective spanning 2010 to 2020, to be published by Perrotin Editions. clairetabouret.com

LAUNCH SERENA DUGAN

After more than a decade as a creative executive in the design industry, Serena Dugan has launched an eponymous collection, Serena Dugan Studio. An “ode to wanderlust,” she says, we’re taking a closer look at what’s inspired her to take this leap. serenadugan.com Why launch a solo venture? My career has been spent creating textiles, objects, artwork and spaces that make our homes a spirited reflection of us. As we draw into our homes now, I’m even more certain of the importance of this mission.

What kinds of pieces might we find?

The Objects collection will be a rotating compendium of pieces that I source from around the world. I expect that the collection will include collaborations with artisans I admire—a platform for innovative pieces like hand-painted wool dhurrie rugs.

How do your paintings relate to your textiles and wallpapers? When I form an idea, it’s either better explored on a canvas or through pattern. Painting allows me to focus on composition, layering and gesture, while pattern is all about repetition, placement, movement and harmony.

Does the California lifestyle influence your work? Undoubtedly. I have always wished to work outside a paradigm that others followed, because I wanted to express things differently. Living here, I feel unspoken support to push, express and innovate.

BETTER Together IT’S ALL ABOUT COLLABORATION THESE DAYS. LUXE HIGHLIGHTS FIVE DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIPS, EACH WITH A SPIRITED SYNERGY. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATHRYN GIVEN

CHADDOCK x MARK D. SIKES Mark D. Sikes brings his elevated California design ethos to a curated, customizable furniture collection with North Carolina-based Chaddock and its CEO, Andrew Crone.

Walk us through the inspiration. MDS: We wanted to create allAmerican, versatile pieces. The design of several items was spurred by antiques I’m often hunting down for clients. What attracted you to this collaboration? AC: Mark is a wonderful partner for us because he understands the power of timeless elements and personalized details in a way that customers and clients understand them, too. Tell us about the materials. AC: Quality is the bedrock of what we do, so all of the “ingredients” are really important. We used a mixture of oak and maple wood species for the case goods. We love the dining chair and its versatility. MDS: Yes, it feels both feminine and masculine, and the scale works as a dining chair, a desk chair or a side chair.

I also love the beautiful detail of the lattice back and the cane seat.

PHOTOS: COURTESY CHADDOCK.

With its delicate scale and slender arms, the Myrtle Dining Chair is not limited to the dining room; it can easily adapt to many spaces in the home. Here, it’s shown in Farrow & Ball’s No. 210 Blue Ground with the worn technique (left) and 900 Ebony finish with gilt accents. chaddockhome.com

ROBERT KIME x TORY BURCH

Share the inspiration for the collection. RK: Our trip together to Japan was certainly the impetus. We went to wonderful places, stacked with beautiful documents but both gravitated toward the same designs. What excites you about Robert’s design aesthetic? TB: I’ve always been a huge admirer of Robert’s work, particularly his take on country homes. His approach is eclectic. I love how he has no rules, combining objects from different cultures and time periods. Nothing feels too designed. The patterns are so charming—what sentiment were you going for? RK: We leaned heavily into indigo, as there was so much of that simple dying technique found on our journey. The patterns are delightful, some small and some less so—but they each tell a story. How would we find them in your home? TB: I’ll mix and match the fabrics—nothing too perfect.

The Ume pattern (left) was inspired by an original Sarasa fragment from the Edo period and is still considered exotic and valuable in Japanese society today. Decorated with birds and bamboo, the Takeyabu design was drawn from a Bingata fabric, which traditionally depicts natural motifs. robertkime.com

SOCIETY SOCIAL x ARIEL OKIN When it comes to offering a fresh take on classic furniture, the seven-piece assortment by Society Social founder Roxy Te and New York-based designer Ariel Okin does just that.

This is a perfect match. How did you meet? RT: We connected in the modern way, via Instagram, chatting about everything from motherhood to design. Soon after, the idea of our line was born. Favorite part of collaborating? AO: Going back and forth on the sketches was such a fun experience for me. My inspiration images were really brought to life through Society Social’s talented artisans. Talk to us about your stylistic approach. RT: We wanted a look that is a soft ode to the classics but still evokes the comfort of home—designs that welcome effortless and inspired living. What’s important to keep in mind when designing furniture? AO: End use!

I ultimately felt drawn to design a furniture line because I wanted to create pieces that I couldn’t find for my own clients.

It’s important to really zero in on how the pieces will be used.

ATELIER VIME x FARROW & BALL

How did the partnership with Farrow & Ball transpire? AW: Our world is intimately linked to Provence and our 18th-century house in Vallabrègues. For a long time, we had considered recreating our objects in color. The methods used by Farrow & Ball fit our artisanal and sustainable approach perfectly. Favorite moment? CC: Like us, commitment to traditional production methods is important to Atelier Vime, so it was great to see this celebrated with handcrafted woodwork. The paint really brings the pieces to life. CC: Strong colors like these certainly add a statement to a room, but when used on wicker, they frame the light and respond to it. What tenets do you consider when designing?

AW: It has to be functional and poetic. I love to imagine a story behind each item.

One of Atelier Vime’s first designs, the Gabriel Ceiling Light harks back to a round utility basket originally made by the company in the 1950s and used for collecting fruit. Today, the wicker is cultivated and handcrafted in Provence.

B&B ITALIA x NAOTO FUKASAWA The connection runs deep for B&B Italia’s CEO Gilberto Negrini and Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, who teamed up again to create Ayana, a minimalist assemblage of outdoor items.

What attracted you to collaborate with Fukasawa? GN: His pure, light vision of design and the fact that his products are minimal and precise in their shapes and details. Most rewarding part of the process? NF: The most joyful stage for me is visiting the factory, seeing the prototypes and continuing to refine the pieces. We love the use of natural teak. GN: The unpainted teak allows the piece to age and evolve in the most genuine way. This project also has a green soul as all the materials can be separated and disposed of with respect for the environment at the end of the product’s life cycle. What excites you most about the collection? NF: The unique combination of essential shapes and natural wood is so elegant and sophisticated.

Combining Southeast Asian influences with a contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic, the outdoor teak Ayana armchair employs ancient construction. Each structure is completely free of metal elements and instead uses wooden pin joinery; the pieces are shown in Linaria green and gray fabrics. bebitalia.com

SERENITY NOW TAKE SANCTUARY IN THESE CALMING SPACES. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATHRYN GIVEN

At a moment when our homes are more important than ever, kitchen and bath spaces have become the ultimate safe havens—somewhere we can pause, unwind and take comfort at the end of the day.

Today’s designers are incorporating minimalistic layouts, natural materials and soothing color palettes to create airy environments.

Designer Jennifer Kranitz of Project Interiors took those elements to heart for a spacious Chicago bathroom imagining “a quiet, gentle setting where the owners can hit mute on the chaos of life.”

The subdued gray-toned walls and flooring were customized in Tadelakt Plaster and fabricated by Chicago Ornamental Plastering.

Nestled high above the sprawling city of Chicago is this ideal urban oasis by designer Jennifer Kranitz of Project Interiors. Here, she walks us through the spectacular space, which involved combining two units in the luxury skyscraper. projectinteriors.com

Tell us about the decision to use plaster.

Plaster is the main finish here and is incorporated on the floors, walls, tub, shower—everything! It’s very durable and low-maintenance. The various applications create movement and allow your eye to travel around the space. Plus, the material almost has a velvety look, which adds a subtle texture and scale to this very large room.

What should be top of mind when designing a bathroom? While you want it to be pretty, it also has to work! Early on in the process, consider the functionality and how your client will live in the space. We were mindful of elements such as circulation, point of entry and storage while building this relaxing refuge.

That view! This bathroom offers an amazing cityscape. We took into consideration everything happening outside when creating the design.

We wanted it to be soft and serene in contrast to the city life visible through the floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows.

In a Dallas kitchen, architect Jason Erik Smith chose Ann Sacks’ Pietra Statuario for the island, which features a Houzer sink and Blanco faucet. “With four children, the island needed to be heroic,” Smith recalls.

THIS KITCHEN PROVES THAT AN AESTHETICS-FIRST APPROACH DOESN’T HAVE TO SACRIFICE FUNCTIONALITY. WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

The words “calm” and “kitchen” don’t always walk hand in hand. But for a Texas couple with four children, a Zen cooking hub was wish number one for their new home in the tony Dallas suburb of University Park.

With its organic material procession, the storagesavvy kitchen flows seamlessly into the openconcept great room—but that’s not to say it feels

indistinct. To delineate, the architects carried the rift-sawn white-oak flooring up the wall and across the ceiling like a ribbon on a gift. “What this does is create a room within a room,” Smith explains. “It’s a strategy we like to use to create intimacy within a big, open space.”

Rounding out the interiors, designer Jean Liu employed furnishings with clean lines and stalwart tendencies. A laminate top Saarinen table joined by walnut Cherner dining chairs creates a dégagé set-up for homework sessions and cocktail parties alike, while soaring Pindler curtain sheers and custom sisal rugs lend warmth and softness to the minimal scheme. “A limited color palette will always tone down hustle and bustle,” notes the designer, adding, “Every last detail in this space is choreographed, which creates a sense of serenity and calmness.” smitharc.com; jeanliudesign.com

PALETTE CLEANSER

“The idea was not to think of it as a kitchen, but as a beautiful space that happens to have all the amenities and comforts of one,” explains architect Jason Erik Smith. To meet this brief, the team at Smitharc Architects prioritized concealing as much visual clutter as possible. Along the north wall, a series of discreet doors encloses both refrigerator and dishware storage. Beyond, in the handsome back-of-house area, a shallow corridor hosts built-in small appliances before revealing a walk-in pantry and coffee bar. And equal parts design statement and workhorse, the impressive, 15-foot-long sintered porcelain island houses two dishwashers and a downdraft cooktop, in addition to generous drawer space.

When one hears the word “wellness,” a spa often comes to mind. Centered around renewing both body and mind, such places of relaxation and cleansing are capable of making one feel revitalized, ready to take on life anew. Shouldn’t this be an important aspect of a healthy home?

Alpha Wellness Sensations certainly thinks so. The Belgian company, with its U.S. operations in San Diego, is a leading designer and manufacturer of custom saunas, luxury infrared cabins, steam rooms, immersive salt caves, built-in ice chambers, experience showers and cold plunges. Backed by extensive studies that show the health benefits of these features, the Alpha team, led by president Josephine Leaders, strives to bring wellness to its clients.

“For us, that also means avoiding toxic substances in production and being environmentally friendly,” Leaders says. “We use only certified wood suppliers and recycled glass, and have our own research facility where we develop proprietary heating modalities.”

“ High-tech and unique features need to be considered from the start, so they don’t look like afterthoughts.”

LIGHT COORDINATION “Healthy living is enhanced by the experience of natural light in the right amounts at the right times,” Anderson says. “It’s all about the site’s orientation to the sun and creating a careful balance that allows for daylight, openness and views, but also provides protection and shelter from the sun when desired. We design based on how light is needed throughout the day, according to individual lifestyles. For example, we’ll design to bring morning sun into the breakfast nook or provide shade to a swim-up bar in the hot desert afternoon.”

THE WFH HUB According to Anderson, there are a few key ways to ensure that the at-home office can be a part of a healthy work-life balance. + S et the scene.

“In one home, we located the work space along a waterscape that surrounds the home,” he says. “This gave it a calm vibe, lowering stress and aiding focus.

We also used a fireplace, display shelves, wood ceilings and art to bring warmth and personality.”

Among the goals that drive the team at Avalon Architectural, Inc., the desire to create spaces that feel inviting and contribute to wellness is high on the list. As Jeff Anderson, the firm’s principal architect alongside Tom Stewart, acknowledges, such environments “can be hard to define, but you know them when you’re in them.” And Avalon knows where to start in creating them. According to Anderson, it all comes down to personalization. “We give meticulous thought to each client’s routines and habits in order to establish a layout that is in tune with even the smallest details of their lives,” he says. Technology, of course, now plays a role in those. With consideration for automation systems, lighting controls, audiovisual components, window shading, solar PV systems and more, Avalon ensures that each home seamlessly blends the best of innovation with bespoke, refined living.

rt is too often treated as an afterthought in interior design, the finishing touch added to a room that’s already painted, papered and furnished. But during the renovation of this Palm Desert retreat, the exact opposite happened: The homeowners’ contemporary art collection dictated the design decisions—right down to the size and placement of a living room wall. For designer Townsend Lloyd, creating gallery-style spaces sans museum-like sterility was the primary challenge of the project. Happily, she arrived armed with an intimate knowledge of this particular property.

The house—one of architect John Elgin Woolf’s famed pink Hollywood Regency-style originals at Marrakesh Country Club—belonged to her great-grandfather. And the current homeowner? It’s her own mother.

Lloyd spent many childhood holidays at the house, which her great-grandparents bought in 1972 and passed down to her mother and aunts about 15 years ago. Until last year, it was an essentially untouched time capsule of ’70s chic. “The whole house was done in coordinating pink and green, with green striped chairs, pink shag carpeting and built-in mirrors—which apparently were really in back then. It had its own charm because it was so dated,” says Lloyd, but adds, “The house was a great template to work from. A lot of what was put in place is still relevant.”

Lloyd teamed up with architect Rod Youngson (himself a resident of Marrakesh Country Club) to reconfigure the layout, paying particular attention to natural light and sight lines. Among many high-impact changes—placing retractable glass doors throughout the house, carving out a powder room, adding skylights to the master bathroom— they extended the house by 10 feet on either end. This allowed for a larger kitchen and a more formal dining room in place of a laundry area that had once blocked a

gorgeous hilltop view. Another key metamorphosis: A hallway leading to the to the guest room and powder room terminates in an atrium, where a sculpture by Alexander Caldwell stands on a plinth. “Instead of a passage that ends in a wall, it’s a focal point that lets so much light into the house,” says Lloyd.

Extra bedrooms were also a priority, so a “bunk room” with queen-size beds was placed in an area formerly intended as golf cart parking. Additionally, a small casita with its own entrance was thoughtfully attached to the existing home to serve as a more private place for nonfamily guests. “Marrakesh essentially has four plans—A, B, C and D—and we’ve taken a ‘B’ footprint and substantially changed the layout inside,” says the homeowner. “We took a sophisticated approach to a renovation, one that really pushed the boundaries.”

Museum-white walls serve to brighten the space and provide a blank canvas for the homeowners’ collection, and no room was considered too casual for art. French artist Bernard Cathelin’s work hangs in the powder room, for instance, and vibrant works by American artist Julie Speidel and Canadian William Perehudoff are framed in the kitchen. The living room’s configuration centers around two oversize pieces: an Ashley Collins canvas atop the fireplace (which was sized specifically to complement it), and across the room, a lavender-hued landscape by John Evans. “Part of the reason we decided to close the kitchen off versus doing an open floor plan was to create a wall large enough for that landscape,” explains Lloyd.

“We literally built the wall for it.” Outdoor areas don’t lack for dramatic art either. Most distinctively, a massive slab of marble is mounted above the courtyard’s sitting area. It’s a statement stone that Lloyd and her mother fell in love with while shopping for the fireplace’s marble surround—and re-designated it as weatherproof art.

As remarkable as the artwork is, what’s not prominent is equally noteworthy. Flooring and furnishings are deliberately muted. Window treatments are nonexistent or minimal. The streamlined kitchen includes a workstation hidden behind the cabinet doors, and the television is stashed within a nearly-invisible electronics “garage” in the living room, cleverly rolling out only when in use. “I like a linear, geometric approach with straight lines and no clutter,” declares the homeowner. “It’s all a good foundation for the collection.”

The house was recently a stop on a community fundraising home tour—and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. But for Lloyd and her mother, the realization of the house’s next chapter is what counts.

“My hope is that it stays in the family for years to come, and that future generations like my choice in tile,” the homeowner says. “I think my grandparents would be thrilled by what we’ve done.”

6/15/20 4:04 PM

Designer Townsend Lloyd envisioned the entry to a John Elgin Woolf home at Palm Desert’s Marrakesh Country Club as a gallery-like space. “It was a place to showcase the Bernard Cathelin painting and the contemporary sculptural stools by Julie Speidel,” says Lloyd. “The fabulous part about the stools is that they also provide seating without obviously looking like it.”

The artwork is by Ashley Collins.

Opposite: Lloyd took her palette cues for the living room from the John Evans landscape. “We loved the calm lavenders, greens and soft neutrals punctuated by subtle hints of orange and yellow,” she notes. The hues also appear in the re-covered Flexform sofas, custom Elizabeth Eakins carpet and the Rogers & Goffigon wool sateen on the Holly Hunt armchairs.

“It’s more popular for Marrakesh renovators to remove the wall between the kitchen and living room and create an open-concept great room but, here, the homeowners opted for a galley-style kitchen that’s really functional,” says general contractor Steven Shields. Near the breakfast bar furnished with Roche Bobois stools are a pair of Julie Speidel paintings. The Dornbracht faucets are from Ferguson.

Since the guest room is visible from the entry courtyard, it was important that the decor feel cohesive with the rest of the house. An Aerin lamp, a nightstand by S.R. Gambrel for The Lacquer Company and a Serena & Lily chair recall the home’s neutral palette. Matouk linens dress the bed.

TO CAPTURE THE SERENE SPIRIT OF AN NBA GREAT, A DESIGN TEAM CREATES A PEACEFUL PLAYA DEL REY BEACH HOUSE. WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MEGHAN BEIERLE-O’BRIEN

S

tanding on the beach in Playa del Rey surrounded by his five children and 11 grandchildren, Phil Jackson, one of the greatest NBA coaches in history, realized he wasn’t ready to sell his house, a dwelling perched right on the shore. When Phil purchased the waterside dwelling some 20 years prior, it was a matter of convenience. He had just been hired to coach the Los Angeles Lakers and, as he says: “For my lifestyle, living close to work and an airport were prerequisites.”

This home, then a duplex, fit that bill and more.

Over the years, nearly all of Phil’s children had lived in the secondary unit at one time or another, making it something of an anchor for the NBA family. As life changed—Phil retired, and his children started their own families—he often contemplated selling. But with his clan surrounding him on the sand that day, he knew he wanted to change his living quarters but not his address. “It was one of those 72-degree spring days, and I realized I didn’t want to let it go,” he says. “I sat down with Chelsea the next weekend to begin planning.”

Chelsea is designer Chelsea Sachs, his second eldest daughter, who was more than happy to help. Conventional wisdom has it that working with family is a bad idea, but for her, it felt familiar. “As a designer, I get to know my clients really well, and sometimes it takes time to develop a deep understanding and trust,” she says. “But with my father, that groundwork was already there.”

Rounding out the team was designer Patrick Ediger, who conceived the interior layout and provided all of the architectural drawings and elevations for the endeavor and day-to-day project management. Ediger and Sachs

“MY FATHER IS A ZEN BUDDHIST, AND THE HOME EMBODIES HIS QUIET, CALMING SPIRIT.” –CHELSEA SACHS

LX_LA62_HOM_EdigerSachs_10.indd 166

quickly determined the best way remake the home was to combine the spaces and start nearly from scratch. “The location is unique, but the 1980s architecture was not,” says Ediger. “The spaces were dated and chopped up.

To make it cohesive and unified, we had to take it down to the studs.” The home was then reassembled to create a single dwelling with a family room and bunk room on the lowest floor, the master suite and guest bedrooms on the second level and, on the third story, among other spaces, a living room with incredible views of the ocean and, on clear days, Catalina.

It’s that landscape and Phil’s life story that drove the home’s interiors. In the living room, where oversize rollaway doors frame the waves, the team relocated the fireplace from the north to the south wall in order to optimize the seated view. The pale blues of the ocean and the tawny neutrals and soft buffs of the beach are on full display in a pair of custom sofas dressed in a pale sandy upholstery, a rug with a watery palette of grays and blues and a bespoke coffee table-ottoman topped with buttery caramel leather. “I wanted it to feel as if the interior melded with the exterior,” says Sachs.

In the master suite, the bedroom enjoys the same views from a slightly lower perspective. The bathroom is sited just behind it, and the home’s original creators maximized the natural light and sight lines in the space by installing an oversize interior window between the two. To kick the glam up a notch, a bronze-toned, one-way mirror replaced the window. From the bathroom, you can still see the waves; but in the bedroom it is opaque and reflects the water, creating something akin to an ever-shifting mural.

A patterned rug, the vintage capiz shell light fixture and the coffee table in the nook bring in the colors as well as textures of the beach.

But in this house, soul is just as important as style.

“Everything tells a story, every detail brings nuance,” notes Ediger. Most of the rooms contain pieces of the Asian antique collection Phil has spent years accumulating.

And, despite the fact that nearly all of the furniture and the countertops are specifically sized to his 6-foot-8inch frame, his minimally adorned mediation room is his favorite space. “My father is a Zen Buddhist, and the home embodies his quiet, calming spirit,” says Sachs.

Perhaps that spirit is what keeps pulling the family back to this home. “It’s now very open, with spaces the whole family can use, but there are still places for solitude and spots where you can withdraw and watch the kids play in the sand,” says Phil. “This house has been a constant in our lives, and when we are all here, it’s really special.”

6/15/20 4:05 PM

“The fireplace is made of a beautiful travertine tile reminiscent of the colors of the beach outside,” says designer Chelsea Sachs of the stone from Artistic Tile surrounding the living room fireplace in her father Phil Jackson’s Playa del Rey home.

A Michael Berman Limited lounge chair in Mokum fabric picks up the sandy hues. Sachs teamed with designer Patrick Ediger on the renovation.

oes creativity find its full blossom with no boundaries, or does it need limitations to flower? Certainly, designer Ashley Clark’s experience with a Newport Beach abode makes a strong case for the latter. Her clients, who brought her along to walk a house they were considering, warned her that they weren’t planning on tearing down the home and starting from scratch. While Clark admits, “remodels can sometimes be harder,” the news didn’t dampen her enthusiasm. In fact, the designer liked what she saw.

“The bones of the house were really cool,” Clark says of the single-story home whose two wings reached out from a central entry. “It had this sort of midcentury modern yet 1970s vibe.” Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, it had a large grassy park next door and great views. Architect JR Walz had a similar first impression: “It was an older arrangement with a kitchen roughly in the same location that it’s in right now but closed off to the exterior and the rest of the house.”

He, too, shared Clark’s vision of its potential.

Working with general contractor Ami Gilad, Walz tackled the home’s floor plan, moving all the bedrooms to one wing and grouping all the public rooms in the other. He turned a space that had been used as a bedroom into a playroom and found a spot for a small guest room. Rethinking the exterior entry, Walz enlarged it and refaced it in black brick. “It really gave it an anchor and a focus as well as a tremendous amount of curb appeal,” he says. An expansive front door now opens to an entry with high ceilings that

set a modern and welcoming tone. Multiple outdoor areas encourage relaxing and entertaining.

Meanwhile, Clark set her sights on the interiors. “The key to a successful remodel—even to a successful new build—is making your wish list: what’s important to you and your family and the way you live,” she explains. “We were able to talk through these things because of our real-life experiences and knowing what works and what doesn’t.”

The result, yielded through careful planning and research (“That searching and sourcing—that’s why we’re named Skout,” Clark notes of her firm.), is a mix of old and new, vintage and custom, a home that’s as comfortable and functional as it is beautiful.

The residence’s distinctive architecture is underscored and complemented by Clark’s furnishing choices. In the living room, where a sextet of windows with graduated heights frames the view, the designer placed a cobalt coffee table, club chairs in a geometric pattern and a custom emerald-hued velvet sectional. “We wanted to do something different and we felt this house was a place where we could have a giant green sofa,” says Clark. “The clients are open to fun things.” Meanwhile, in the dining area, “We removed the stone and added the same black brick used on the front of the house and backyard to keep things consistent and create that indoor-outdoor vibe,” explains the designer, adding, “We had a lot of wall space on either side of the fireplace and open shelving was just not going to do it for us—we wanted to add some texture and create something different, so stacking all of that wood was our solution!”

Nearby, built-in bench seating with storage is paired with a trestle table, and opposite is an intimate grouping that speaks to the husband’s desire for a place to enjoy the view while sipping his morning coffee.

Underlying all the spaces is a playful effervescence that speaks to sunny days at the shore. It’s there in the husband’s office, where a surfing scene is displayed on the walls. It skips through the master bedroom, in a striped rug layered over a textured jute mat on the floor, and a handful of kilim pillows on the bed, as casual as a pile of beach blankets. In the daughter’s bathroom, a Pop art print of a Barbie doll waves from her perch atop a pool float. The son’s room unearths a mix of treasures, from a headboard created from a vintage leather gym mat to an antique flag, as eclectic as the finds in a beachcomber’s pocket. And it’s evident in the bunk room, where a painted sign proclaims “Amigos” behind a plush army green sectional. “I like to be comfortable, unique, different and a little funky,” says Clark, “I feel like we did a really good job at meeting all their list of wants and needs and getting it all done.”

Designer Ashley Clark teamed with architect JR Walz on the renovation of a 1970s home in Newport Beach.

They preserved its vintage charm but updated it for its new inhabitants. One of the major moves was a refreshed entry that is defined by black-painted brick.

Dale Waldo Landscape Architecture devised a scheme for the outdoor spaces, which is simple and inviting.

The dining room has both a spot for eating—furnished with chairs and a banquette, an RH dining table and custom pendants— and an adjacent casual zone where the husband can enjoy his morning coffee in one of the West Elm chairs. Artwork from Natural Curiosities hangs above a fireplace painted black to tie into the entry sequence.

To make the most of a compact guest room, Clark conceived a built-in platform bed.

While the space is small, in her choice of decorative touches, she imbued it with the same rich character found elsewhere in the house. The shades are by SolĂŠ Shades.
