Summer has always carried its own rhythm—longer days, lighter evenings, and a renewed pull toward movement and time outdoors. In this issue, we lean into that spirit with a story that feels special to me. Having played tennis my entire life, I’ve always believed the game is as much about place as it is about play. In “Grand Slam Getaways,” we explore some of the most exquisite courts in the world—from a cliffside court on the Amalfi Coast to the red rock beauty of Sedona and the storied grounds of the Scottish Highlands.
I’ve also always been drawn to color, how it can energize, transform, and tell a story, and when I first saw this wholehome feature by designer Courtnay Tartt Elias, I was immediately hooked. Set on a lakefront property in Texas, this exuberant home reimagines gathering with bold, storybookinspired moments, from richly patterned entries to playful, color-drenched spaces designed for connection and creativity.
As summer unfolds, my family and I are looking forward to a late-season trip to Lake Garda, Italy, a destination we’re proud to feature in “The Town with a Twist.” It’s a place where alpine peaks meet cerulean waters and centuries-old lemon houses shape a vibrant culinary and wellness culture. From the citrus-infused flavors of Limone sul Garda to its slow, sensory rhythm, the region captures the essence of summer.
We hope our magazine inspires you to explore, tap into your creativity, and spend more time outside discovering the beauty of the world we all call home.
Warmly,

Family FOCUSED
A renovated family home in Toronto is fun and welcoming for friends and family.
By Trevor Wallace
To me, family-friendly home design is more than just creating interior spaces where parents and kids can eat, play, and relax. I think finding the correct relationship between the family and the community is really important.
The famous American-Canadian planner and author Jane Jacobs explains in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities that the safety of neighborhoods depends on having “eyes on the street.” We led with that idea for a significant renovation we did for a couple with three young daughters, whose house is in the desirable Summerhill neighborhood of Toronto. We began with the concept that the kitchen is a family community space—almost like the home's reception area—where their friends and family could come and go with ease and familiarity.

A twisting indoor slide spans two floors, giving every family member a chance to have fun.
Within this multigenerational home (which includes a mother-in-law apartment with a separate entrance on the upper level), the family wanted spaces for working and cooking together. We took a thoughtful approach to the design, putting bedrooms and bathrooms on the lower level, and sacrificing some square footage on the main floor to create a large opening between the upper and lower levels. This allowed us to add windows and install a bright blue slide that descends to a huge play area for the girls. The owner said it was a childhood dream of hers to have a slide in her home; including it in this project was a reminder not to take herself too seriously and allowed her kids to have this really fun feature, which has become symbolic of the house. I think the slide keeps everyone young!
Because both parents work from home, they also wanted a peaceful space. Their backyard is lovely, so we pushed the home office to the back and added a huge sliding door that
opens to the beautiful back garden. It is now an inspirational, quiet working area.
That meant that we moved the kitchen to the very front, which is atypical in Toronto these days. One of the things the family loves about their vibrant neighborhood is how welcoming everyone is. They wanted their new street-facing kitchen to be a place where kids could easily run in from playing outside with friends to grab lunch, and essentially become part of the community.
There is a modest living room area off to the side where they can watch TV and be cozy in a more private setting, but the combined kitchen/dining room is filled with light, energy, and family, friends, and the community. It is a very beautiful, uncommon approach to what can happen in the kitchen. We always say the kitchen is the center of the home, but in this case, it's the center of the home and their social gatherings.
In terms of the kitchen design itself, we kept it easy and bright, and wanted to make sure there was plenty of storage. We opted for open shelves in the kitchen, which the homeowners used to display decorative items, meaning we had to create storage elsewhere. All the appliances were designed to be disguised in their cabinetry, and we added a big pantry in the hallway behind the kitchen, under the mother-in-law's staircase.
One appliance the couple was excited to showcase is the Wolf Gas Cooktop. They wanted the gas cooking experience but didn't want a big range taking up kitchen space. They loved the chic, integrated look of the cooktop, which blends seamlessly into the countertop.
Health and wellness are a priority for the homeowners— one is a naturopathic doctor and the other is a medical
doctor—and they wanted a space that promotes calm. In order to deliver something clean and fresh that takes advantage of natural light while still adding a bit of color, we chose a palette of muted neutrals with blue accents, both in the deep bluegray of kitchen cabinetry and, of course, in the sky-blue of the children’s slide.
The house continues to deliver the fun and community spirit we envisioned. The parents can utilize their quieter work area when needed, but at other times, embrace the playful atmosphere of the house and the neighborhood. As an architect, I want to resist the temptation to abandon the street and retreat only to backyards. Instead, we provided a thoughtful relationship between the family’s home and the neighborhood. It is a concept of free flow, with architectural boundaries that can serve a family for many years to come.

7. Working in batches, boil the bagels for 1 minute per side. Make sure to drain bagels well before placing them back onto the sheet tray.
8. While still wet, sprinkle bagels generously with everything topping.
9. Bake in preheated M Series Oven for 17 minutes, using rack positions 2 and 4.
Let bagels cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.
Modern VINTAGE
Curating your wine collection has just become easier with a new inventory enhancement on the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Owner’s App.
By Lannan M. O’Brien
A wine connoisseur’s collection develops over many years, each bottle selected with a particular guest or occasion in mind, or for the excitement of discovering rare vintages. But as your inventory grows, finding that perfect bottle of wine may become a challenge. Thanks to a new app enhancement, owners of SubZero Wine Storage Units can locate each bottle with a quick tap. A recently launched feature within the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Owner’s App allows users to categorize and locate the wines contained in each Sub-Zero Wine Storage Unit. It works by scanning every wine label with the app and storing the information for later use. Users can then add the location of each bottle in their collection.
“You can do things like assign ratings to [each wine]. You can add custom notes and tags,” says Sub-Zero Group’s Senior Manager of Electronics and Connectivity, Ryan Kools. “If you got it from a friend for a special event, you can note in the app that you should drink this one on this occasion.”
Driven by customer requests for wine inventory solutions, the feature has been in development since last year. Director of Electronics and Connectivity Steve Nackers explains, “We wanted to provide a clean, easy experience that achieves our higher standard.” Referring to the process of scanning each wine label, he continues, “That technology has really changed in the last year and a half, and that allowed us to do something that was

faster and easier to give our customers a high level of accuracy quickly.”
Unlike other apps, the wine inventory enhancement gives users the ability to maintain their collection digitally without the distractions of ads or social media sharing features. It is clean, userfriendly, and effective: qualities that consumers recognized in the initial prototype testing.
Based on customer feedback, the team at Sub-Zero Group added a history feature that lets collectors view past wines they have purchased, along with details recorded in the app (for example, when they were consumed and whether they enjoyed them).
For homeowners with multiple wine storage units, each unit will be displayed in the app. The inventory feature is particularly useful for those who have multiple homes. “They can go to the search functionality, or they can even go to ‘Locations’ to see the unit in their cabin, for example,” says Kools.
The overarching goal was to provide easy tracking and visibility into users’ wine inventory to support their collecting, consumption, and preservation, while meeting the diverse needs of all customers — whether you enjoy the occasional glass of vino or have become an avid collector.
There’s more to come; customers can look forward to additional wine inventory enhancements in the near future.

Using the landscape as their guide, a Southern California design team enhances a stunning hillside home.
By Lisa Cavanaugh | Photography by Lance Gerber
This spectacular home sits only two miles from the Pacific Ocean, but it possesses the aura of a property deep in the California countryside. “The project is in Newport, but it doesn’t really have the feeling of being on the busy coast,” says Interior Designer Rachel Morrison, whose firm, Morrison Interiors, worked on the project alongside architect Eric Olsen. “We always say it feels like you’re in Northern California’s wine country, because of the rolling hills in the back.”
The project earned its name, Lone Pine Lodge, from a very large old-growth pine located on the property. “It was part of the architectural design,” says Morrison. “We don’t have a lot of those trees in Southern California, so the architect chose to preserve and highlight the tree.”
Leaning into these unique geographical aspects, Morrison and her team made intentional design choices to reflect the natural landscape. “When you enter the home, you come through a courtyard space which is like a bridge between two wings of the house,” says Morrison. “You look straight through it to the backyard and the incredible landscape design from Garden Studio Design. These spectacular views are visible throughout the whole home.”
“There is an amazing materiality that continues from the exterior to the interior,” she continues. “The paneling and stone that were selected for the exterior carry inside with the walls and fireplaces, for example, so there is a nice, continued palette from outside to in.”
Morrison notes that the homeowners were seeking more textural and rustic elements, which her design achieved in various ways. “The bar has a chiseled face with strong contrast in the tone of the stone and tile. Even the wood we used for the cabinetry is plain-sliced white oak, so you can see more of the grain. There are a lot of beautiful textural moments throughout the house, but nothing is too strong.”
The home showcases the beauty of the hillside above Newport Beach, California, with its dramatic blend of coastal bluffs, rugged canyons, and native flora.
the wall behind the bed in the primary suite is a navy-and-white
The boldest stone choice was reserved for a tiny space: the powder room. “There we have some Calacatta Viola marble with dramatic, deep-purple veining, but the overall tones in the home remain neutral when it comes to the hard materials.”
In the kitchen, there is a significant contrast between lighter wood lower cabinetry and darker stone countertops, as well as a wall of dark-gray cabinetry that houses the Sub-Zero Designer Series Refrigerator and Freezer and the Wolf M Series Built-in Single Oven and a Convection Steam Oven. Also in the main kitchen are a Wolf Induction Cooktop and a Cove Dishwasher.
“The client was particular in not wanting open shelves,” says Morrison. “They like things to be tucked away, and so that’s how we ended up with full-height storage along one wall, but we also added a sliding window system to the pantry, where there is some exposed shelving.” This unexpected design allows for what Morrison calls a “peek-a-boo moment.”
“It offers the perfect amount of relief from full cabinetry. Since the homeowners like to cook a lot, it is perfect for entertaining purposes to be able to pass things through.” In the pantry, the homeowners have a Wolf Convection Steam Oven, Wolf Warming Drawer, Sub-Zero Freezer Drawers, and a second Cove Dishwasher.

Giving the interior a timeless quality is the seamless melding of old and new. “We like incorporating antiques so every home feels a bit more collected or familiar,” explains Morrison.
The homeowners had a large antique armoire they wanted to bring to their new home. It is used in the exterior dining area and has become an integral part of the design. “Early on, they decided they wanted that piece there, so that was a really cool aspect to be able to design around and be thoughtful of.”
The soft finishes and furnishings were opportunities to infuse richer tones. “We always try to develop a palette that feels specific to that client and the colors they gravitate toward,” says Morrison. “So you will find deep-indigo and rust here and there, and we used a rug in the great room that is an amazing burnt terracotta color, which is very earthy and suits the landscape as well.”
Morrison notes that there was a nice symbiotic relationship among everyone on the project. “The architect, our design firm, the builder, and the client: we all worked so well together,” she says. “The client was completely involved. This was a big dream of theirs, to build this house with us, and they really cared about all the details.”
The collaboration worked beautifully. “From the moment you walk up to the home, it feels welcoming and perfectly situated,” says Morrison. “It is an exceptional home.”
The living room sofa is by House of Morrison, and the coffee table is the Puzzle Table by Blaxsand.
The homeowners' vision of a serene yet playful property welcoming to family and pets was expertly brought to life.

Coastal-inspired spaces for beachside living in Sanibel, Florida.
By Jennifer Sperry
Photography by Mali Azima
This is the dream: a warm and welcoming house overlooking a white sand beach. Regular family visits with grandchildren in tow. Senses piqued by splashing in the pool, pets’ paws clattering on wood floors, and laughter in the air. Memories in the making and beauty all around.
Interior designer Renée Gaddis, Principal of Naplesbased Renée Gaddis Interiors, was the natural choice to make this dream a reality for clients who had purchased a newly constructed home in Sanibel. Her boutique firm specializes in luxury residential design of all styles, with a particular niche in coastal chic.
Gaddis began dreaming up a cohesive, highly curated interior for her clients early on, from the architectural planning stages. “They had been traveling to Sanibel for
years and are very familiar with the area. They love its sleepy quietness,” she explains.
From the get-go, the wife was clear that all furnishings and surfaces must withstand dogs and grandkids, sand and water. “We used indoor/outdoor fabrics and performance rugs, keeping everything low maintenance,” describes Gaddis. “They wanted every area to be usable, nothing hands-off.”
White oak—with board-and-batten detailing repeating inside and out—anchors the home’s light, bright vibe. It infuses the new build with character without adding heaviness. It also introduces a soft, neutral beige into the color scheme.
On top of this oak base, Gaddis’s interior design communicates a cohesive current of natural fibers, playful patterns, and intriguing textures. “Blue was the color,” says Gaddis of the palette. “It’s my client’s favorite. Each space communicates different levels of blue in strategic ways.”
The newly built home, with ample room for guests, also boasts a three-car garage.
Each of the three guest rooms is designed in a similar calming coastal color scheme, with abundant natural materials.
The spacious kitchen is outfitted with a 48" Wolf Dual Fuel Range with a custom-made oak vent hood.
The heart of the home is a large, multifunctional kitchen designed to handle prep work, cooking, lingering, and entertaining. It has two islands: the largest for food prep and another for cleanup. Four pendants from Ro Sham Beaux, a combination of capiz shells and raffia, punctuate the coffered ceiling with pleasing symmetry.
Understanding that functionality is just as important as good looks, the clients opted for a full suite of high-end appliances. The centerpiece of their selection is a 48” Wolf Dual Fuel Range with a custom oak vent hood above. They also chose a SubZero 48” PRO Refrigerator/Freezer for its sleek, professional look. It appealed to the homeowners to allow the stainless steel to shine against the wood cabinetry. Gaddis notes that she has Sub-Zero and Wolf products in her own home and says the culinary results “are unparalleled.”
Wanting to round out the kitchen with a dedicated dining area, the design professional came up with a creative solution. “We did this cool banquette extension off the second island that left us plenty of room for the custom table.
The family uses this spot to congregate daily,” adds Gaddis. Overhead is a stunning Palecek “Seychelles Coco” chandelier. Tiny coco beads adorn its delicate strands, emulating the look of underwater coral.
Another, more intimate gathering spot is the window-lined breakfast nook, where Serena & Lily chairs partner with a circular table. “This is the perfect place to sit and play games or work on a laptop,” notes the designer.
The main living room area incorporates unique fabrics, including block-printed roman shades and drapery.
In the living room, which enjoys natural light and views, a bright, white sofa, upholstered in a performance Perennials fabric, anchors the seating area. Various patterns on the window treatments, upholstery, and accent pillows (to Gaddis’s delight, her client shares her love of fabrics) are united by the hue of blue.
One of the sweetest rooms in the house is the first-floor bunk room, where four custom beds boast niches for books and glasses of water. The partnering kids’ bathroom features a trough Kohler sink with dual wall-mounted faucets, a built-in step stool, and cement tile in the shower/tub emulating the look of glimmering fish scales.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms were customized for the grown children (and respective spouses). Also upstairs is the primary suite—its bedroom is yacht-like with a recessed bed, built-in shelves, and an arched wood-paneled ceiling. “That bed
faces straight out to the view, so we kept the furnishings simple and soothing,” notes Gaddis.
In the primary bathroom, an encaustic cement tile floor and quartzite countertops blend with the custom vanity’s oak tones. Here, the clients can relax in the soaking tub or a combination indoor/outdoor shower.
The theme of relaxation continues downstairs with three outdoor living destinations: a full-service bar, a covered porch, and a raised tiled hot tub. Down below, on the way to the beach, is the pool. (The house is raised up one level for hurricanes, protecting the main living spaces from storm surge.)
From start to finish, the client and designer worked well together, giving the room personality while achieving a seamless aesthetic. Says Gaddis: “It’s really just a place for family to spend time together, and what better place than Sanibel?”
The younger generation can enjoy its own charming bunk room and cheerful bath.

A Houston designer transforms a vast ranch-style home into an intimate, color-rich haven.

Photo Styling by Jessica Holtam
The term “empty nesters” often conveys a sense of calm and a slower pace of life. Houston-based interior designer Courtnay Tartt Elias prefers to think of her Lake Jackson, Texas, clients as “free birds.” The nearly 8,000-square-foot ranch-style home she designed for them celebrates that exuberant spirit, with spaces meant for connection, creativity, and hosting a full house–while still displaying a touch of whimsy and a sense of adventure.
The homeowners, who raised their children just down the road, weren’t looking to downsize or settle into a quieter routine. “They wanted a new house, a new floor plan, and a new way to live—one that felt open and welcoming, where extended family could gather,” Elias explains. The result is a striking new build designed by Rice Residential Design and built by Carrera Custom Homes that reflects this next chapter, one centered on entertaining children, grandchildren, and friends in a lakefront setting dotted with old oaks.
Just as important was the client’s request for lots of color. For Elias, whose work leans toward bold, immersive design, it was an open invitation, albeit with some challenges. “It’s a unique house in that it’s very large and all on one level,” she notes. Her task was to make the expansive rooms feel intimate and cohesive while strengthening their connection to one another—and to the outdoors.
Above: Bright outdoor fabrics give the home’s exterior pops of color. Below: Luminous art from Fort Worth-based artist John Holt Smith.
The grasscloth wallpaper from Aux Abris taps into Elias’s whimsical side: “It looks like a storybook setting,” she says, noting that the chandeliers resemble branches with icicles dripping down.
At the heart of the home, the entry, kitchen, dining, and family rooms unfold as one sweeping space. To give each zone a sense of identity, Elias began with the entry, introducing architectural definition through a decisive design move. “The Aux Abris wallpaper there is literally the first thing I picked,” she says. “We designed the whole house around it.”
That initial burst of color carries into the adjoining spaces, softened but still present: blue upholstery and green tassel trim in the living area, and blue-and-white drapery in the dining room, echoed by a blue-and-white grasscloth ceiling. The kitchen, by contrast, offers a moment of calm, with cabinetry painted in Benjamin Moore Steam, a creamy off-white. “The design is
intentional to accentuate the views from the expansive windows on both the north and south sides,” Elias says.
Even the range hood was conceived with restraint. In conjunction with Houston-based Segreto Finishes, Elias designed a loose oak-and-leaf motif that feels original without competing with the scenery beyond. The kitchen is outfitted with a Wolf Dual Fuel Range with Infrared Griddle, a Wolf M Series Convection Steam Oven, and a Wolf Warming Drawer—choices driven by the client’s love of cooking. As for refrigeration, Elias didn’t hesitate: “It just doesn’t get better,” she says of the Sub-Zero brand, adding that the homeowners opted for side-by-side installation of Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units.
Above: The spacious kitchen offers a more subdued palette within this colorful home, but still includes moments of vibrancy.
Below: The dressing room off the primary suite is infused with many shades of pink, making it a sensory delight.
The bedrooms were also designed to be tranquil, but Elias, encouraged by her client, gave in to her more energetic instincts in the home’s auxiliary spaces. “The bunk room, guest room, pantry, and dressing room are offshoots [of the main living space] so we could let those endpoints be zingers,” she says.
Beyond the primary suite, the wife’s dressing room reads as a confection, wrapped in Sherwin-Williams Lighthearted Pink with lip-printed wallpaper by Olivia + Poppy. Furnishings follow suit in shades of pink and red, from ottomans to a makeup chair to the pink onyx vanity. After Elias removed a large central storage island in favor of perimeter cabinetry, the space became a favorite gathering spot for the women in the family.
When the homeowner requested a “fantasy bunk room” for her grandchildren, Elias took the cue. “We kept the millwork simple and went to town with the hand-painting,” she says, giving artist Andrea Condara carte blanche. The result— complete with playful squiggles and dots—leans into a red, white, and blue palette that evokes a circus tent, amplified by lively fabrics on the beds and windows.
“On a house this large, the creative process can sometimes feel overwhelming,” Elias says. “But this client was so inspiring to work with, and the project could not have been more enjoyable.”

Poetry in the
Photography by Studio Kooij
In all his work, van der Kooij adheres to three tenets: longevity, functionality, and joy.
Plastic is the ubiquitous waste of modern life—a material we reach for instinctively and discard without a thought. Yet in a converted 1920s warehouse in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, designer Dirk van der Kooij has spent almost two decades repurposing plastic into furniture of such weight and sophistication that it now lives in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Centre Pompidou, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Design Museum in London. These are functional works of art designed to last for generations.
Trained as a carpenter in Amsterdam before studying at the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven, van der Kooij knew early that mass-produced furniture had no place in the work he wanted to make. Instead, he turned to something far less obvious: discarded plastic. Six pizza ovens welded together became his first act of alchemy, heating and cooling the material
outside a mold until it wrinkled into vivid organic form. The Elephant Skin series was born: the ultimate imitator, as the studio puts it, finally finding its own identity.
Today, his team of carpenters, welders, colorists, and finishers works in close step with house-developed robots, 3D printers, presses, and extruders. Each applies their own craft to over 30 tonnes of discarded material annually—including CDs, leather sofas, diseased wood—transforming what was once thrown away into furniture that is unique, unexpected, and built to last. The Meltingpot tables, pressed from studio offcuts into layered slabs of color, are perhaps the purest expression of this: heirloom objects carrying the literal history of their own making.
For van der Kooij, the process is never hidden; it is the point. The Living Kitchen magazine recently connected with him to talk about his work.
Made from extruded recycled plastic, the sloping Wandel bowl is available in a range of color schemes depending on the material’s past life.

The Living Kitchen: What drew you to plastic as a medium?
Dirk van der Kooij: The poetry lies in developing a process and a design that elevate the worthless into the most desirable. It was not plastic itself that drew me, but rather the recycled aspect, the ability to give a material more value than it ever had before. We developed processes to transform this man-made material from something disposable into something heavy, solid, and unbreakable—‘multiple-generation design pieces.’
TLK: You’ve built presses, robots, and extruders to help you shape plastic, and later other repurposed materials, to create sculptural forms. How do you think about authorship—where does your design intention end and the machine’s behavior begin?
D.v.d.K.: At heart, I am a true maker—someone who loves creating jigs and molds to make the actual handwork better and more precise. I have always seen these newly developed processes as digital molds or jigs. The process I developed was not 3D printing in the common sense—a method to create anything—but rather a way to create solid, heavy pieces with a distinct growing pattern that acts as an ornament, showing a direct relationship to the making of the objects.
Conceptually, these thick ribbons in my pieces are like the rings of wood. Because of this super-lowresolution process, it is a very limited technique. In the end, the process is more an artistic language than something generative; it is where the puzzle begins—to create something that feels natural and not limited by the process.
TLK: Does your work speak more to sustainability or to how material history shapes identity?
D.v.d.K.: We start with reclaimed synthetics. As all our processes are experimental and driven by artistic output, the failure rate is high. That is why we developed the Meltingpot series—a conceptual way of reusing that allows us to use larger parts of mismade chairs and offcuts, so that the origin of the input always remains visible.
In the tables, there are sometimes chunks of material from years ago; we build up a kind of strata of all the colors and patterns used over time. In this way, we give identity to a mass that did not have it before. Our colorist investigates each chunk of material that goes into the composition, carefully placing it in the pressing mold, imagining what it will become after it has been pressed and cut. The result is painterly, but more like composing from fragments of studio history.
TLK: What do you hope the viewer takes away from their interaction with your work?
D.v.d.K.: That you feel the work is an ode to the materials used. I am always thrilled when a piece is perfectly made, using solid and heavy-duty materials in the right way. And then, knowing that you can feel less guilty about using such an amount of material because it has been reused—I love that.
Meltingpot tables offer a third incarnation of recycled plastic, as each uses prototypes and color tests from the Kooij studio.

Mood Over Miami
A colorful renovation created a chic space to stay, play, or laze the day away.

When North Miami Beach homeowners opted to buy the bungalow across the street from their primary residence, it was to create “spillover space” for kids and guests. It would have room for visiting family and friends, bunk beds, game tables, musical instruments, and a home gym. They also adopted a more playful and audacious approach to the interior design.
“We knew we could fully turn up the dial,” says Monica Santayana, one half of the husband-and-wife team behind MONIOMI Design, an award-winning interior design firm housed in the Little River neighborhood of Miami. “Our clients told us we could go all the way in terms of color. So we went in with the goal of saturating each room in a different hue.”
“When we designed their main home, they wanted it to feel clean and serene, with a more conservative approach to color,”
adds Ronald Alvarez, Santayana’s husband and design partner. “So I knew we would really enjoy this bungalow project.”
Taking cues from the vibrant coastal neighborhood, the team chose the most intense tones within a beach-inspired palette. “Essentially, each of the rooms reflects Miami Beach: the turquoise blues of the ocean, the deep rosy pinks and mustard yellows of the sunrise and sunset,” says Santayana, “but those colors are also supported by texture and detail.”
These dynamic elements are reflective of the designers’ backgrounds. Santayana is a native Miamian who grew up surrounded by artistry. “My grandmother was a seamstress, and my father's family are jewelry designers,” she says. “So, I think that's where a lot of my inspiration and direction come from. I always wanted to embrace the vibrancy and individuality of Miami in some way but told from a very colorful approach.”
The living room includes a Gandhara Carapace coffee table by designer Nada Debs, which features a mosaic surface of lapis lazuli, amazonite, onyx, and malachite.
The children’s room showcases Gucci’s green heron wallpaper, which depicts the birds with dragonflies scattered throughout, adding natural whimsy to the play space, while the adults have room for exercise and recreation as well.
Santayana likes to mix patterns unexpectedly, sometimes placing a bold piece in an otherwise quiet room, such as this structural armoire with geometric details.
Santayana met Alvarez, who is originally from Venezuela, when they were both studying architecture at Florida International University. “We started sharing projects, and we were each the first person the other felt they could trust,” says Alvarez.
While working separately after graduation (Santayana at a large architecture firm and Alvarez in marketing), they found themselves partnering on decoration projects. “We launched MONIOMI in 2010,” says Santayana. “We both design and work completely in tandem.”
For this bungalow project, the MONIOMI team installed custom millwork and carpentry, as well as furniture designed in-house. “The ottomans in the primary bedroom are from MONIOMI’s own line, and we had embroidered fabric customized for the pool table,” says Santayana.
In addition, they are skilled at discovering intriguing decor from other local makers. “Miami is, in itself, a very global city,” says Alvarez. “So, we look to our own area for great inspiration. We always try to foster relationships with vendors and showrooms here in Miami to give our clients options for unique pieces that make a statement in the home.”
The team also attends internationally renowned design expos, such as Maison & Objet in Paris, France, and Alcova (which takes place in Milan, Italy, as well as at other satellite locations), and regularly sources from global artisans.
Highlighted in one of the guest rooms are items from London’s Gallery FUMI, including Jeremy Anderson’s ’Sky’ floor lamp, first launched at the 2023 Design Miami. Hand-crafted from glazed stoneware, the design is a good representation of Anderson’s process, which he describes as “a conduit to tap into childlike play.”
The ‘Armadillo Low Table’ by Lukas Wegwerth in collaboration with Corinna Dehn was made from oiled pine, with individually pigmented wooden shingles in larch and poplar.
studio
Concept. Made from hand-turned tulip wood and finished with a stone composite, the stools’ design was inspired by the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond on Hampstead Heath in North London, UK.
“The colorful ceramic seashells on the kitchen wall are from a company called Shellegence,” says Santayana. “They are one-of-a-kind pieces hand-crafted and hand-painted in South Africa by artist Lucie De Moyencourt. We carry them in our showroom here in Miami and are one of only two vendors in North America that carry them.”
The shells enhance and invigorate the sleek, soft greenish-blue kitchen, which is outfitted with a suite of Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove appliances, including a Wolf 48” Dual Fuel Range with Char and Griddle, a Pro Hood Liner, 30” Designer Wine Storage Unit, and 30” Designer Series Over and Under Refrigerator and Freezer. “The clients knew they wanted Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove,” says Alvarez. “And we said, no question, they are the best on the market.”
Choosing products that would add to the ease and efficiency of the home was top of mind. “Because it's a house that's being used for kids and for guests or maybe a separate party, the space had to be versatile,” adds Alvarez. From a guest making coffee in the morning to preparing snacks for the kids or hosting a get-together, the kitchen had to be both functional and beautiful. “They wanted the space to feel essentially like a high-end amenity for them and their friends.”
“Every room was intentionally designed to feel layered, personal, and mood-driven,” adds Santayana. “It’s a home that celebrates ease, inspiration, and the essence of living in Miami Beach.”

THE TOWN WITH A
Twist
A CITRUS CAPITAL SINCE THE 13TH CENTURY, LIMONE SUL GARDA’S HISTORIC LEMON HOUSES PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE ITALIAN HARBORSIDE TOWN’S RICH CUISINE AND SPA CULTURE.
By Lane Nieset
On the northern part of Lake Garda, snowcapped peaks slip down into cerulean water that’s surrounded by thousand-year-old perched castles and bastion-crowned medieval fortresses. Italy’s largest lake is the meeting point for three different regions—Veneto, Lombardy, and Trentino-Alto Adige—and feels like “a parallel world,” says locally born Nicole Vezzola, a fourth-generation member of the family-owned winery Costaripa in Lombardy. “Everything you wouldn’t think you would find on the lake, you actually find.”
Vezzola isn’t just referring to the visitors in the cable car gliding up Monte Baldo, who get panoramic views of the water. “We have a Mediterranean climate, so there are lemon trees, olive trees, and lavender fields, which aren’t common
in the north of Italy,” she says. “They’re usually in the Amalfi Coast.” The area’s microclimate, she explains, has defined the winery’s identity and its strong focus on elegant rosé wines, considered some of Italy’s finest.
For centuries, lemon houses, or limonaie, forming amphitheater-inspired terraces in the northern town of Limone sul Garda, have claimed the world’s northernmost citrus production. While the former fishing village isn’t considered a Blue Zone, Limone sul Garda’s thousand or so inhabitants are believed to carry a “long-life elixir,” a gene that helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and helped transform the tiny town into a resort destination focused on healing. “Since the 13th century, when Franciscan friars first recognized the lake’s extraordinary Mediterranean microclimate, citrus cultivation has shaped both the landscape
and the rhythm of life here,” explains Mirella Prandelli, Lefay Resorts & Residences’ Group Director of Marketing & Communication. “Around the region, you still see the historic limonaie climbing the hillsides, a testament to generations of ingenuity.”
Located on the Riviera dei Limoni, Lefay Resort & SPA Lago di Garda combines the area’s wellness heritage with classical Chinese medicine and Western scientific research, incorporating local aromas such as lemon and lavender, as well as extra-virgin olive oil, citrus, and grapes from local vineyards in their Lefay SPA Method Health Programmes. At the restaurant La Limonaia, which features a terrace overlooking the lake, the design is modeled on open-air lemon gardens, and the Mediterranean cuisine celebrates citrus. “We use lemon in ways that go beyond
Um laut arunt. Uga. Itatium samet prates comnimetus sapelenis sint, quuntur sequi asperum doloren ectotatio. Equate dolorumqui dolorestium verae ereperu ptibus eum labor as magniet repro
the expected, from brightening a delicate risotto to shaping desserts like our signature ‘Lemon,’ where citrus becomes both surprise and structure,” says Lefay’s Executive Chef, Matteo Maenza, of the chocolate mousse with lemon.
“What inspires me most is how it reflects the region: vibrant yet refined, simple yet deeply expressive.”
When it comes to dolce, Simone Amorico, co-owner of family-run luxury travel company Access Italy, also recommends sampling local favorites like torta al limone (fragrant lemon cake) and freshly made gelato. “Even simple dishes, like lake fish finished with a delicate lemon emulsion, beautifully express the territory,” he adds. “On Lake Garda, and especially in Limone sul Garda, lemons are far more than an agricultural product; they are a defining part of local identity.”
Zesty adventures include renting a Vespa for a spin around town or experiencing the annual lemon festival.
At the nearby Grand Hotel Fasano, lemons take on a sensory presence, from the welcome rituals to the cuisine and cocktails. Bar Manager and Head Mixologist Rama Redzepi looked to the softness of Limone sul Garda’s citrus to create the Luce di Limone cocktail, a blend of local Grumial Gin distilled right on the lake’s shores, infused lactose-free milk, white tea with passion fruit, kumquat oleo saccharum (citrus syrup), and lemon. “It represents the light reflecting on the water, the softness of the citrus, and the connection between nature and hospitality,” says Redzepi. “Through techniques such as infusion and milk clarification, we aim to elevate the purity of the lemon while maintaining a sense of delicacy and depth.”
Across the lake, hillside spa sanctuary Cape of Senses capitalizes on Lake Garda’s vast natural offerings with a yoga platform in its olive tree-dotted gardens and pool suites, showing off sweeping shots of the lake by day and a gazebo for stargazing at night.
Hop onto a Vespa and skirt around the hand-carved, coastal Gardesana—the same winding road that formed a backdrop for a chase scene in the James Bond film “Quantum of Solace”—or pause at some of the oldest greenhouses in Limone sul Garda to sample homemade marmalades and Limoncino, local lemon liqueur.
Coinciding with harvest in spring and summer, village festivals like Gargnano’s Giardini d’Agrumi (The Citrus Gardens) celebrate the prized production through a centerpiece table piled with more than 50 types of Upper Garda citrus, open-air concerts, and tours of nearly two dozen mainly private lemon gardens.
“Even today, daily life follows the rhythms of cultivation, from maintaining the stone-and-wood limonaie structures to harvesting; lemons are deeply woven into cuisine, aperitivo culture, and even artisanal beauty products,” explains Amorico. “Visiting a historic lemon house means stepping into one of Lake Garda’s most authentic and enchanting corners, where time seems to slow down to let history speak.”

SWEET PERSPECTIVES
Through both pastry and textiles, Chef Megan Quick expresses her creative side.
By Lisa Cavanaugh
Photography by Ella Williams
The best part of Pastry Chef Megan Quick’s role at Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove is making delicious treats that delight the senses. “My favorite parts are the finishing touches—little details that make them look extra special,” says Quick, who has been with the company since 2017. “I see dessert as an important touchpoint of the [end of the] meal, our final opportunity to make an impression. I want to create a memorable experience for our guests and put in the extra effort to make them feel welcome.”
Quick says that she has always wanted to be an artist. “I had parents who were artistic, so I was brought up that way,” says the Wisconsin native. Despite originally thinking she would pursue a career in graphic design, Quick found that she connected more with baking: “I was selling little treats to friends and coworkers when I realized this could be the artistic career I had been looking for, so I went to culinary school in 2006.” She soon found work, first as a pastry chef at a fine-dining restaurant and then with a chocolatier. She also helped a local fine foods distributor start its own gluten-free bakery before joining Sub-Zero Group, Inc.
Being able to utilize the brand’s appliances in her work is amazing, she notes. “I adore the Wolf Convection Oven for baking, but the Sub-Zero Freezer is my appliance of choice,” says Quick. “I love that I get a lot of things done ahead of time by having cakes, mousses, and other components of my desserts at the ready.” She takes pride in pulling everything together seamlessly and with high-quality results. “The freezer does such a great job, and my desserts come out looking and tasting so fantastic.”
Another aspect of her work that brings great satisfaction is taking care of people’s dietary needs while also surprising them with new tastes. “We are encouraged to go out of our way to give the guests the best experience that we can,” says Quick, who draws on her family’s farming background to incorporate seasonal local products as much as possible.
“Growing up in that environment, I learned the value of patience, waiting for the first taste of a sun-ripened strawberry,” she says, explaining that she also learned the necessity of preservation. “Our season is so short here in the Midwest that we want to enjoy our harvest for as long as possible. We have this wonderful garden here at Sub-Zero, [Harvest Haven Farm at Sub-Zero Group headquarters in Fitchburg, Wisconsin], and I like to take advantage of that in my cooking.”
Because of her previous experience, Quick loves creating chocolates and also relishes the challenge of more complex items like laminated dough, a preparation consisting of many thin layers of dough separated by butter. “It is not something I do all the time because it is a two-day process, but I love making it.”
“I see dessert as an important touchpoint of the [end of the] meal, our final opportunity to make an impression. I want to create a memorable experience for our guests and put in the extra effort to make them feel welcome.”
Megan Quick loves to create pastry treats that are as stunning as they are delicious, such as these chocolate crémeux bites.
Chef
Her artistic passions extend beyond pastry, however. “My mom taught me how to spin yarn when I was a little kid,” she says. “I remember going to the neighbor’s farm with her and picking up raw wool. We spun it and then dyed it on the stove with vegetable dye. Now I realize how special that was.”
With time on her hands during the COVID pandemic, Quick experimented with different art genres and styles, and rediscovered her love for fiber arts. She does various kinds of weaving and keeps busy creating tufted rugs that have proved very popular. “I started small with a little handheld punch tufting tool and then, as it grew, I invested in more equipment, such as an electric tufting gun and a large-scale frame.” She takes commissions, sometimes based on her own designs, and uses both transfers and a projector to project the design onto her frame. “It is nice to have the tools you need to do the job,” she says, something that is as true for her rugs as it is for her pastries.
Quick clearly has a busy life (she and her fiancé like to take walks near their home in Madison or go kayaking in the summer), but she enjoys fitting all her interests into it. “I’m lucky that my primary responsibility at work is pastry, so I love cooking dinner at home,” she says.
Her baking is also part of her art, and she takes great pleasure in that work. “I don’t have a million recipes, but I have a few that I really, really love, and I mix and match them to create new things.” She explains that much of her joy in pastry making comes from the colors and textures, and from how she styles and presents her creations. “I always draw pictures when I’m planning what I’m going to make,” she adds. “I like seeing the little sketch of each one. It just calms me down and satisfies my right brain. And then, of course, I know they will taste as great as they look.”

2-3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency— usually leaving it a little chunky for better texture.
2. Immediately add the lime juice to the mashed avocado to prevent browning. Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, finely diced jalapeño, and salt.
3. Fold in the chopped cilantro and tomato (if using) gently
4. Taste the guacamole and add more salt or lime juice if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
PRO TIPS FOR BETTER GUACAMOLE
Soak the Onions: To make the raw onion flavor milder, soak the diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then pat dry before adding to the guacamole.
Avoid Browning: If not serving immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to remove all air pockets.
Jalapeño Heat: For milder guacamole, remove all ribs and seeds from the jalapeños. Keep them for added heat.
Texture: If you prefer a rustic, chunky guacamole, try dicing one of the avocados instead of mashing it and folding it in last.

HOLLYWOOD WRITER-DIRECTOR PAUL FEIG CELEBRATES COCKTAIL CULTURE AND HIS OWN CURATED GIN.

You may know him as the director of hit movies such as Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, A Simple Favor, and the recent blockbuster The Housemaid, but if you are lucky enough to find yourself next to a bar tended by Paul Feig, you are in for a different kind of treat.
“I like to say I make good movies, but I make great martinis,” says Feig, who got his start in television, notably creating the comedy series Freaks and Geeks. “I've always been a martini fanatic,” he explains. “Even as a kid, watching Bewitched on TV, and seeing Darren Stevens coming home, and Samantha would hand him a martini, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s what being an adult looks like!’”
However, his first tastes of gin were uninspired, to say the least. “To me, it tasted like pine cleanser.” As he got older, Feig enjoyed vodka martinis but had the nagging sense that he wasn’t doing it quite right. “I was in London and read a classic cocktail book that said a real martini is always made with gin.” He went to The Savoy Hotel and ordered one at the iconic American Bar.
“It was frozen cold in this kind of thistle glass—not a martini glass—and it was so good,” says Feig. “I was like, ‘Wow, I get it now.’” He loved the vibe, but not yet the gin itself.
So, he went on a self-described 20-year odyssey to discover the perfect gin. During his travels with his wife, Laurie, he says he “tried every gin I could, trying to figure out what I liked, but I never found anything quite right.” Eventually, he realized he could make his own and did: Artingstall’s Brilliant London Dry Gin, created in collaboration with Canada-based Minhas Micro Distillery.
“It’s now my favorite gin because it tastes exactly like I always wanted, made from my own recipe, plus I got to design the bottle,” says Feig. Artingstall is his mother’s maiden name, another personal touch. “I wanted it to look and sound like something that had been around for 150 years.”
Feig himself has a similar classic quality. His bespoke suits—which he wears everywhere, including on set—are legendary: impeccably tailored, three-piece and doublebreasted, accompanied by colorful pocket squares and other vibrant accessories.
He believes this kind of sartorial elegance can lend itself to a stylish cocktail party. “Honestly, if not a smoking jacket, I think a suit and tie is the ideal outfit for drinking a martini,” says Feig. “And women have such freedom with cocktail attire. Dressing for cocktail parties should be fun.”
“To me, the cocktail lifestyle means adults getting together, talking, having a good time,” he adds. “This could be as simple as relaxing at the end of the day or stepping it up and hosting a classy event.” He encourages people to put on their best outfits, bring out the nice glasses (and all martini glasses should be kept in the freezer, he notes, mentioning that he and his wife keep theirs in their Sub-Zero Designer Freezer Drawers), and provide delicious nibbles. “The number one rule of a cocktail party is to make sure you've got something for people to eat,” he advises.
“I started reading all these cocktail books and just loved the whole process,” says Feig, seen here sipping one of his signature concoctions.
He also says it’s fun to pick a theme for your gathering. “You could feature Negronis and serve Italian food,” he suggests as an example. Overall, he feels you just have to let people know what to expect, and they will bring their own flair to the party.
Several years ago, as COVID-19 kept people at home, Feig began experimenting beyond martinis. “I wanted to help out, but there's nothing I could do medically, so I thought I would try to entertain people.” So, every day at 5 p.m. on Instagram Live, he hosted a 20-minute show where he taught viewers how to make a new cocktail. “I did 100 shows in a row, without taking a day off, and that seemed to get us through that scariest part at the beginning of the pandemic.”
Once he had perfected all the recipes, he turned them into his own book: Cocktail Time! “I expanded into advice on how to throw a cocktail party, how to stock your bar, recipes from film industry friends, and weird, funny stories from my life associated with each drink. I'm really, really proud of how it turned out.”
It has been a long journey from his first sip of gin to serving his own brand at elegant parties, but Feig remains a traditionalist when it comes to cocktail culture. “I love the aesthetics around a classy cocktail party,” he says, “I think it is wonderful to dress up and invite people over to mingle. The cocktails are just a way for everybody to get to know each other.”

Curated spaces for home fitness are the focus of a design team in Connecticut.
By Lannan M. O’Brien
The goal of Sportova is to design home gyms with the same intention and thoughtfulness as the rest of the home.
When we envision the interior design of our homes, we tend to think first of the spaces where we cook and share meals, spend time with family, and get ready for the day. We also consider the rooms where we relax, and, for many, where we work from home. But over more than a decade in the design industry, Sam and Madeleine Kimball noticed one space that was regularly overlooked: the home gym.
“We kept seeing beautifully appointed homes with an afterthought of a gym tucked in a basement corner,” notes Madeleine. “The equipment was industrial-looking, the layout was uninspired, and the space felt completely disconnected from the rest of the house.”
Identifying the gap in their field presented an opportunity to provide a new, much-needed service. In 2023, the couple founded Sportova, a brand specializing in premium fitness equipment and full-service gym design, with the mission of elevating the aesthetics of home fitness spaces.
The demand for home gyms has increased dramatically over the past few years, Madeleine says. Not only are more people prioritizing dedicated fitness rooms in their homes, but they are also considering how color palettes and materials can reflect their style and boost their motivation daily. “It’s no longer just about
Homeowners who work with Sportova may be surprised to discover the extent of customization options, such as colors and materials, to elevate the look of home fitness equipment.
function. People want their fitness space to reflect the same taste and care they put into the rest of their home,” she observes.
As a full-service design company, Sportova provides everything its clients need to plan their dream fitness space, including custom layouts and floor plans, photorealistic renderings, consultations for materials and finishes, and delivery and installation. Prior to developing a design concept, they meet with clients to discuss their lifestyle and design preferences and assess the home's architecture. The goal is to create a space that becomes a natural extension of their existing aesthetic: “That might mean selecting equipment in custom colorways to complement a specific interior palette, sourcing particular flooring or wall treatments, or designing built-in storage that keeps the space feeling clean and intentional.”
This applies to fitness equipment, too. Through relationships with manufacturers that offer a wide range of customizations—including custom frame colors, upholstery materials, and specialty finishes—Sportova enhances the look of exercise mats, treadmills, and even dumbbells. “We’ve done projects where custom colorways on a set of dumbbells or a particular bench finish became the anchoring detail of the whole design,” says Madeleine. “It’s those kinds of thoughtful touches that elevate a home gym from functional to exceptional.”
Having a fitness space that feels inviting and elevated makes homeowners want to spend time there, explains Madeleine Kimball.
The possibilities are practically endless. For example, she says, “a client might want all of their equipment finished in matte black with saddle leather accents to match the millwork in their home. Another client might prefer white frames with a soft-gray upholstery for a lighter, more contemporary feel.” All of it is achievable, and each detail has a significant impact on the overall design.
When a workout space is designed with the same intention and forethought as the kitchen or living room, it has a psychological impact, too, and that can change a homeowner’s entire approach to wellness. “When you walk into a space that feels considered and personal, you want to be there,” Madeleine says. After completing a project, clients often share that they look forward to their workouts more because the room itself is more inviting. “A well-designed environment removes friction and creates a sense of ritual. It signals to you that this time matters, that your health is worth the same investment as any other part of your home. We believe that design is one of the most underrated tools in wellness,” she says.
The couple recently launched a sister company, Samuel Madeleine, which specializes in Europeaninspired, luxury furniture. The brand is a passion project that Madeleine envisioned over the past six years. “My heart is in the materials of anything design. I love choosing woods, selecting metals, and bringing either a gym [to life] or helping someone select a piece of furniture,” she says, noting that there is a natural overlap between Samuel Madeleine and Sportova. Many of their home gym designs, for instance, incorporate Madeleine’s original artwork from Samuel Madeleine, “which adds a personal and artistic layer to the space.”
This year, Sportova opened its first showroom in New Canaan, Connecticut. Customers can now visit to see and experience the high quality of their customized equipment. The in-person experience makes a real difference, Madeleine says: “Clients often come in thinking they need a single piece of equipment and leave with a vision for an entire room.”
The Royal Treatment
Cuisine and culture were celebrated in San Francisco, with Chef Melissa King as the special guest.

Earlier this spring, Riggs Distributing hosted an intimate event bringing together a curated group of influencers from the design, culinary, and cultural communities at the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom in the San Francisco Design Center.
Featuring Melissa King, an award-winning chef, author, curator, and television personality, the evening celebrated San Francisco’s dynamic food culture and Riggs Distributing's commitment to creating meaningful experiences.
“While it is a showroom, it's actually so much more than that,” says Eric Remmen, Director of Showrooms and Trade for Riggs. “It is really a gathering place for the architect and design community and for consumers. I like to call it an experience center because it is an amazing space in a bright historic building, in which to encounter and interact with our brands.”
Invited guests were treated to a culinary conversation between Chef King and Editor-in-Chief Michael McCarthy of San Francisco magazine, the event’s co-host. The thoughtful dialogue touched on King’s influence on the Bay Area dining world and the cultural impact of her cuisine. Small bites influenced by King were served throughout the event.

“All the food was inspired by her cookbook, Cook Like a King, which she signed for everyone here at the event,” says Remmen. Menu items included sesame shrimp toasts, Asian-inspired prawn cocktails, flatbread pizzas with duck confit and hoisin sauce, miniature potato pancakes with Asian pear compote, and almond cookies. “Everything was in true Melissa King style: delicious and beautiful to behold,” he says.
Clos du Val vineyard generously provided the California red and white wines that complemented the nibbles. “We also had lots of bubbly,” adds Remmen, “which was a perfect accompaniment to Chef King’s amazing food.” Remmen also offers special thanks to the showroom culinary team, headed by Chef Chris Harding, for preparing all of the dishes.
“It was ideal that this event occurred in close conjunction with the Lunar New Year,” says Remmen, noting that this joyful multicultural celebration is important to the people and fabric of San Francisco. “There was a wonderful feeling in the air that we were nodding to that occasion, since Chef King has Shanghainese-Cantonese heritage.”
“Thanks to the Riggs marketing team’s excellent planning,” says Remmen, “it was really a terrific evening.”
