treasures
to cherish
Discovering the new, whats now, being the rst to
feature the best has always been Interior Designs stock in
trade. And Im proud of the rewards we reapand get to
share with you. Recently, though, I have been itching to offer
projects not necessarily on todays radar, a treasure perhaps
forgotten thats of import nonetheless. Call me crazy, but
not before you listen to the following story. One day late last
year, designer Brad Ford sent me an effusive e-mail about
something I just had to see, a modernist house nestled in
the forest in Accord, New York, near the weekend getaway he
had recently bought. (Side note: Of all the
ways we score projects, hearsay always
ranks high on the list. Thanks, Brad!) A bit
of research revealed a spaceship meets
Frank Lloyd Wrightstyle house designed
by an architect, Nancy Copley, who still
resided there though, in her 80s, she
reluctantly needed to sell. Recognizing
that this might be my last chance to
experience the project, I jumped at the
opportunity, and it proved a rare treat
indeed to get to know Nancy and photograph her extraordinary home, truly a
Living Treasure. Yes, it looked a bit tired
around the edges when I arrived, but
adding vintage furnishings and tidying it
up brought back its spirit and Nancys, too.
In a note of irony and sadness, she
didnt live to see her treasure featured in
our pages. She passed away, just as we
were going to press, from a heart attack.
Personally, I believe her heart was broken
at the idea of leaving her masterwork. But
I am certainbe it karma or whatever
that I was meant to rediscover this forgotten architect, proving
that her vision mattered and helping it inspire others. As the
headlines mourn the loss of two other extraordinary women,
Andre Putman and Ada Louise Huxtable, Id like to add
Nancy Copley to that list. Never famous, she was unique all
the same, and she dedicated every waking moment to what
we all so lovingly share: design.

Thumbing through fashion magazines, fine-art photographer Michael

Eastman developed a fascinationnot for the models or clothes, but for
the frequent use of melancholic historical settings. The faded facades
and threadbare upholstery of such backdrops sparked in him a love of
architectural decay. Which explains the focus of his current exhibit at
Londons Michael Hoppen Gallery: Havana. A colorful mix of crumbling
exteriors and antiquated interiors dating to the late 19th century, the
series of 20 large-scale digital C-prints was begun in 1999, when Eastman first gained access to the Communist country through a cultural
exchange. The show runs through March 29.

interviewed by a heavy-set, middle-aged editor when Andres name came
up: She and I were in school together, the editor said. Andre was the
plainest, most ungainly girl in class. But now, when she enters a room,
every head turns!
I had known Andre much earlier as the tall, engaging Madame Putman
who lived in a spacious Left Bank apartment full of her husbands collections.
Then, after a divorce and a job with a stellar branding agency, she announced,
Jacques, I will become a grande dcoratrice! Her muse was Eileen Gray, the
Irish champion of modern who worked until age 96.
Andre began by producing re-editions of Gray and Antoni Gauds costly
furnishings, and then started designing limited editions of her own. When I
was returning through Paris with my rst Thai silk collectiona riot of color
Andre, tall in beige, asked: Dont you know that color is over? She was
right; soon I would be designing cool jacquards without color or texture.
Andres magic leapt the Atlantic Ocean when she designed interiors for the Morgans Hotel and the Palladium
nightclub in Manhattan. When she began collaborating with us, our board would y her in on the Concorde for
meetings. Seated next to Andre at a dinner for MoMAs 1980 Eileen Grey exhibit, I chided, Color is back! She
replied: Oui, Jacques. And its black. New York City has been black ever since. Jack Lenor Larsen
Proper, even prim, especially in her mink jacket on a winter day, the petite, tidy Ada Louise Huxtable regularly
tossed hand grenades at developers and compromised architects during her 40 years as an architecture critic.
She was fearless. Even Leona Helmsley couldnt show her face in polite society after Ms. Huxtable got through
with her husband, Harry, during her New York Times reviews of the Helmsley Palace Hotel in the late 70s. She
was arguably the most visible and powerful critic in the nation, her fury fueled by righteous indignation politely
camouaged by her epigrammatic style. She won the rst-ever Pulitzer Prize for
Criticism in 1970, and a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981. Her victories were hard
won: She once said that every article at the Times was a struggle.
Born in Manhattan and educated at Hunter College and New York Universitys
Institute of Fine Arts, Huxtable worked as an assistant curator under Philip Johnson in MoMAs architecture and design department from 1946 to 1950. She came
of intellectual age when modernism was the theology of social progressives. Her
modernist formation never really waivered, but, unlike that world-class dabbler
Johnson, she folded politics, context, nance, structure, and history into her
thinking. She opened her architecture columns to urbanism and historic preservation. Her career at the Times virtually began with her spirited defense of, and requiem for, McKim, Mead & Whites Pennsylvania Station, and, by a symmetry of
fate, she closed her career a month before her death in January by defending the
beaux arts New York Public Library in The Wall Street Journal from what she considered the depredations of Modernization. She launched the grenade even
though she was dying of cancer, registering her opinion before she couldnt. Her
courage, integrity, and bite never abandoned her. Joseph Giovannini

Straight From the Crate
When Salasstudio embarked on the renovation of

a wine cellar for Vega-Sicilia vineyard in Valbuena de
Duero, Spain, the rm knew the materials had to
meet stringent bacterial requirements for the proper
aging of wine. Conveniently, the solution came from

the wine barrels themselvesspecically, the oak
used to create them. Slats of the wood form undulating ceilings on both levels of the 20,000-square-foot
building while simultaneously concealing the essential climate-control system. They reappear as treads
on the steel staircase, which is bordered by a bamboolike stainless-steel rail, its up-lit branches penetrating both oors. Ceramic tile, known for its sanitary properties, clads the walls while echoing the existing ooring in the same material.

For its new ofces in downtown Montreal,

multiplatform interactive ad agency Blue
Communications ordered an environment that
encouraged creativity and communication.
Designers Jean Guy Chabauty and Anne Sophie
Goneau began with a 2,750-square-foot blank
canvas: white-painted walls and exposed
pipes 30 feet above warmly varnished concrete ooring. In the open oce area, wide
expanses of space surround 36-foot-long
benching systems, the adjacent conference
room and its Charles and Ray Eames table discreetly demarcated by 10-foot-high glass
walls. Generously proportioned fenestration
provides natural light and panoramic city
views throughout. And while the deep-sea
taxidermy in the clinically austere kitchen
could symbolize swimming with sharks, its
actually a metaphor for oating in a basin of
innovation.

Methodology
Data in this section derives from the rst installment of the two-part annual
business survey of Interior Design Giants, comprising the 100 largest rms
ranked by interior-design fees for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2012. Interior-design fees
include those attributed to:
1. All types of interiors work, including commercial and residential.
2. All aspects of a rms interior-design practice, from strategic planning and programming to design and
project management.
3. Fees paid to a rm for work performed by employees and independent contractors who are full-time staff
equivalent.
Interior-design fees do not include revenues paid to a rm and remitted to subcontractors who are not
considered full-time staff equivalent. For example, certain rms attract work that is subcontracted to a local
rm. The originating rm may collect all the fees and retain a management or generation fee, paying the
remainder to the performing rm. The amounts paid to the latter are not included in fees of the collecting rm
when determining its ranking. Ties are broken by the dollar value of products installed. The data was compiled
and analyzed by the Interior Design market research staff in New York, led by Wing Leung, research director.

In 1987the year The Simpsons hit the airways, Whitney

Houston just wanted to dance

was first prescribedthe buzz
in the design community
included the professional
partnership of architect John
Cetra and interior designer
Nancy Ruddy, a married pair
of New York insiders whod
worked at Perkins+Will and
Eli Attia Architects. Theyd
already collaborated and
wanted to pursue what to
them was a fairly obvious
concept: designing entire
projectsfrom inside out and
outside in. A mere quarter
century later, the combined
firms of CetraRuddy and
Cetra/CRI Architecture are
60 staffers strong and integrated design is still the sole
focus. The namesakes spend
most of the day at a round
table in the center of their
studio, working in tandem
on everything from parti to
finish and flavor. After two
recessions, restoring many
iconic buildings, and furnishing dozens of memorable
interiors, its still all about
John plus Nancy, which currently equals adaptive reuse.
Professional and
personal partners,
Nancy Ruddy and
John Cetra design
holistically, currently
focusing on
preservation
What was the impetus

for this latest focus on
converting large New
York buildings?
Nancy Ruddy: From our
beginnings, weve done

adaptive reuse of historic
buildings, and weve had a
passion about inspired housing. Theyre each central
to our perception of life in
the city, so we love projects
that combine both.
The firms work is so
contemporary, yet old
buildings inspire you?
John Cetra: In college, I
witnessed the loft typology

emerging in SoHo, with its
incredible potential so
53
radically different from the

cookie-cutter apartments in
white-brick buildings going up
at the time. Weve converted the
Barbizon Hotel and many of the
cast-iron and stone classics in
the Ladies Mile Historic District,
with their 12-foot ceilings and
huge double-hung windows.
Inside they may be little more
than floor slabs and columns,
but, like novelists, we romanticize their heyday and try to
evoke those memories into the
buildings new lives.
So the interiors reference and
interpret history?
NR: Yes, thats part of our inspi-
ration. Our research often leads
craft and level of detail. But our

love of loft-style living means
adaptive reuse is about creating
better and more inspiring housing.
How did those ideas work for
Walker Tower?
JC: It was designed by Ralph
Walker for New York Telephone

in 1929 and weve made significant changes to make it work as
condominiums. The interior and
exterior details are a culmination
of everything weve learned from
historic projects in general. On
the exterior, for example, we incorporated glass-and-bronzedsteel paneling into the existing
brick facade. It looks art deco
like it was always there.
We interpreted the studied majesty of art deco in living spaces

that are less formal, more downtown, with a bespoke, crafted
quality that recalls 1930s Paris.
Everything you touch is like a
jewel: The ebonized 8-foot-high
doors and custom antique bronze
hardware, French herringbone
floors, and stepped ceilings. With
more expansive windows and
doors out to Walkers terraces
and setbacks, the feel is more

What about the common

spaces?
NR: The lobby sequence is curated
and sophisticated, with an 8-foottall chandelier and a new terrazzo

floor inspired by the new faade
paneling. We installed a new mural
and a sculpted frieze, and wrapped
them all in a classic art-deco interior
to recreate a sense of the era. The
clubroom is also quite beautiful in
this way. In the model apartments,
we went for eclectic wall coverings
and carpets. Furnishings range from
art deco to mid-century modern.
JC: Its great to discuss design
ideas, but you also need to see

what those ideas mean. So we
draw them. With us, there are no

the challenge of trying to express

The two-story, 1,000-square-foot addition is surrounded by a palisade
of 18-foot-high Douglas r structural beams.
UNDINE PRHL
75
When we last encountered

Frank Clementi and Julie
Smith-Clementi, they had updated their 1920s Venice bungalow and added a second
oor, doubling its size to 1,200
square feet. Their daughter
Emilia was 2; shes now 16.
Their second daughter, Nina, is
10, and the architects, coprincipals at Rios Clementi Hale
Studios, have expanded anew.
They have built a three-car
garage and capped it with a
proper master suite, complete
with an en suite bathroom, a
walk-in closet, and suspended replace that swivels
76
to warm both the room and

its adjoining deck. The girls
were sharing a bedroom, and
we all shared the one bathroom, Smith-Clementi says
of what necessitated the addition, which brings the current total square footage to
2,200. The garage and
kitchen are joined by a
breezeway, which is topped
by part of the family room
and a whole new bedroom.
In terms of scale and recessive color palette, the additions interior continues the
modernist aesthetic of the
original bungalow. Yet its ex-
terior is eye-popping to say

the least. The couple surrounded three of its secondoor facades with a palisade
of 34 18-foot-long Douglas r
structural beams that are
downright sculptural. Its my
tree fort, states Clementi.
Acquiring the adjacent lot,
the Clementis also tweaked
the open-plan ground oor to
capitalize on the expanded
setting. Moving the front door
and pulling back the stairway
opened sight lines. The
kitchen, once central, was
relocated to a rear corner,
freeing space for a breakfast
UNDINE PRHL
walkthrough
Opposite, from top: Although the living-area portion of the house was existing, the
concrete oor tile and replaces folded blackened-steel cladding are new. Surrounding
the master suite on the second oor, the custom 4-by-12-inch beams are bolted to the
concrete framework.
Clockwise from top: Acquisition of an adjacent lot allows for lush landscaping that
includes lemon, apricot, and plum trees; artichoke, fava-bean, and tomato plants; and
a custom cedar picket fence. Furnished with woven-cane pendant xtures, Charles and
Ray Eames chairs, and a custom table topped in maple veneer, the breakfast area is new,
thanks to the kitchen being repositioned. The custom plywood storage unit incorporates
the stairs.

Commanding a verdant promontory on Chilo Island, part of an archipelago near Chiles southern tip,
Hotel Refugia is all about the view.
You can gaze across the Gulf of
Corcovado, studded with tiny islands,
toward the Chilean mainland, the
snow-covered peaks of the Andes in
the distance. Preserving these vistas
from every vantage point was Mobil
Arquitectoss guiding principle in designing the 13,500-square-foot lodge.
Mobils design sits lightly on the
landscape: Four giant concrete pillars
support the upper guest-room and
spa level, cantilevered out toward the
Pacic Ocean. That overhanging second oor not only allowed for the
ground-level public areas beneath to
be wrapped entirely in glass, but also
protects them from the areas frequent wind-driven rain. Partner Patricio Browne describes the building as
a structural composition perched on
a hilltop, rather than an opaque edice growing out of it. Its about maximizing light, space, sky, and perspective. Indeed, every one of the dozen
guest rooms has a water view.
Though aggressively angular in
prole, Mobils design draws inspiration from the islands timber churches
and waterfront wooden houses

raised on stilts. The exterior is clad in

larch shingles; the interior, with an
air of Alpine-chalet style by way of
Scandinavian modernism, boasts
textured concrete surfaces and ooring and walls lined in indigenous
woods. Most of the latter were harvested from Chilos forests and
cured in nearby Puerto Montt. As for
furnishings, interior designer Ignacio
Irarrzaval assembled a showcase of
furniture, textiles, and baskets made
by locals that nod to the rustic environs. I spent a year looking for and
working with the artisans to make
them part of the project, he says.
Continuing the sustainable

agenda, Mobil placed north-facing
windows (keeping in mind the
southern hemispheres antipodean
exposure) to capture passive solar
heat in winter; stored in the oors
by day, the warmth radiates back at
night. Deep eaves shade the windows from the high summer sun.
Luckily, the best views are to the

Ever eager to leverage world-class design to its A&D clients, Landscape Forms just became
the exclusive U.S. and Canadian representative of Escofet, the Barcelona, Spain, authority on
exterior appointments. Since 1886, the company has collaborated with such bold-face names
as artist Joan Mir and architect Jean Nouvel, and its benches, bollards, and xtures enliven
major cities across the globe.
The inaugural 14-item package consists of seating, tables, and a planter, all in Escofets signature
cast stone. Aggressive geometry rules backless Flor, an abstracted asterisk shape intended for individual
or communal seating, and Milenio, a modular system of straight and angled pieces destined for multiple
congurations. Things turn sinuous in Hebi, as curved components create snakelike footprints of practically any length, and Lungo Mare, the undulating surface of which references the sea, like its moniker
does. More familiar in function is Sillarga, the chairs ergonomically shaped back echoing its owing
prole, and Prima Marina, the teak-slatted bench. While no color is added to the stone, it is either acidetched or polished, then waterproofed to boost durability. 800-430-6209; landscapeforms.com.

The Australian-born, New Yorkbased artist assembles early 20th-century ephemeratattered
trading cards, forgotten mailin mass multiples
and then morphs them into large-scale gridded
collages. After being introduced to Myerss works
by Todd Masters, co-owner of Masters & Pelavin
gallery in New York, Carini Lang creative director
Joseph Carini became fascinated with them, particularly Dont Forget My Name and two untitled
pieces, which are composed of early-1900s postcards the artist scrawled with pencil and Wite-Out.
I immediately saw it could be translated well into
my medium, Carini recalls. The ensuing collaboration spawned three initial patterns.
Working in this new medium, Myers stays true
UNTITLED
to his source but modies his signature geometric
grid. It turns primitive and organic in Bloomeld,
begins to disintegrate in Eisenhower, and is nally
reduced to fragments in Henry Hart. Each GoodWeavecertied rug is 6 by 9 feet and hand-knotted
in wool and silk using intricate Tibetan knots.

Theres a time for everythingespecially if its timeless. Tai Ping
director of design and creative development Yasmina Benazzou
pays deference to avant-garde structures, mid-century textiles, and
Bauhaus weavings in Epoch, a 17-pattern synthesis of geometry
and abstraction. Informed by the angles and contours of modernist icons, the rugs are hand-tufted in a variety of bers; black and
gray serve as prevailing neutrals.
The random stripes of Dissonance I reference 20th-century textile
legend Sonia Delaunay, in a blend of wool, wool lace, and dull silk.
Architecture is the muse of Archetype I, a network of interrupted
lines in wool lace on a dull-silk background. Wool and ax intermingle in Time I, its rectangular grid subtly streaked in blue. Diamonds arise from raised wool triangles in Paradigm I, a dynamic
take on traditional harlequin motifs. Similarly angular forms also
dictate Omission I, a broken zigzag with a textured wool background and accents of dull silk. But the source turns natural in

A Material Change
For 16 years, the painterly predilections of Janis Provisor and Brad Davis have been singularly served by wild silk.
But after numerous requests from clients, the owners and cocreative directors of Fort Street Studio unveil their
rst assortment in wool. As it turns out, the transition took more than
a quick call to a new supplierthink ve weeks in Asia, immersed in
the hotbed of rug making. Master artisans were located and entrusted
to reinterpret the studios watercolor-inspired aesthetic. The focus then
turned to perfecting wool technique: knotting, weaving, carving, twisting.
Tactility and texture distinguish the eight hand-knotted patterns, most
conspicuously in Corrugated, its ridges simulated by high and low piles.
Named for its at-woven components, Flats references carved motifs on
antique jade and ivory. Leaves imagines Chinese oolong tea casting
shadows across water. The freeform Strato pays homage to the companys
artful heritage, an approach also evident in the stylized randomness of
Texture. But old habits die hard, and so hand-cut Moss achieves its
furrowed feel through a mixture of wool and, you guessed it, silk.

The Gift That Keeps Giving

When most couples exchange presents, it often ends with, Whered ya get that? But
when designer Melina Raissnia received a small felt rug from her husband, Dodd, it
spiked an obsession that would only be sated with an 8,000-mile adventure.
Arriving in Tehran, they scoured the main bazaars to no avail. But after
traversing nomadic mountain camps and villages, the couple eventually located small enclaves where aged craftsmen keep the art of
felt making alive. Peace Industry was born soon after, rmly
rooting the pair in the rug business.
Designed in the Raissnias San Francisco studio, the patterns are produced in the companys fair-trade workshop
in Turkey, employing the same processes that nomads in
Central Asia used for centuries. Spunky shapes in earthy
colors gure prominently in the latest releases, including
the jaunty honeycomb of Hive and the cellular composure of Screen. Jupiter sports a cyclic crisscross, Lace
superimposes circular and linear forms, and Fuller resembles shadows cast from a stained-glass window. The
rugs are handmade in small batches using lambs wool
and natural dyes, in any custom color and size up to 12
by 14 feet. To eliminate waste, remnants from rug making
are repurposed into hand-sewn baskets and ottomans.

Already in the 1930s, studies revealed that greater Los Angeles had the most
modernist structures built anywhere in the country. Since then the number of progressive buildings in the city has steadily expanded: One-lot, one-house suburbs have
proved a petri dish for architectural experimentation. L.A. was ground zero in innovative design, says Linda Dishman, executive director of the Los Angeles Conservancy,
and not just high-end residential, but also at a level accessible to the middle class.
L.A.s early-onset modernism now means that those buildings, born to look crisp and
new, are old enough to show their age and need preservation. But besides time, the
truly seismic force threatening these houses is real estate: A small house on a fancy lot
risks becoming a teardown. Judith Sheine, an architect and coauthor of Schindler,

With an unparalleled stock of modernist houses,
Los Angeles is taking preservation seriously
FROM LEFT: GERALD ZUGMANN/COURTESY OF MAK CENTER; JOSHUA WHITE/COURTESY OF MAK CENTER
Kings Road, and Southern California Modernism, jokes, I write all these Schindler
books to raise the value of Schindler houses, so people will buy them for Schindler, not
for the site.
Historic preservation started in L.A. in 1970 with the brutish demolition of Irving Gills
Walter L. Dodge House on Kings Road, an early white, cubist masterpiece built between
1914 and 1916. Just down the street, Rudolph Schindlers own inventive wood-frame
and concrete-slab house, built on a shoestring and a wish in 1922, stood forewarned.
The Schindler family and concerned citizens created a nonprot, Friends of the
Schindler House, which now owns and protects it.
Word of this special kind of residence spread, and movie industry gures bought and
restored trophy houses, often with the help of specialized realtors and architects. Owning one of these properties became a badge of honor, the aura of the celebrity rubbing
off on the architecture, and vice versa. An ecosystem of awareness spread, assisted
over the last two decades by gathering institutional support.
The University of Southern California acquired and stabilized Frank Lloyd Wrights
1924 Samuel and Harriet Freeman House, a textile-block beauty in the Hollywood Hills;
the USC School of Architecture uses it as a teaching lab. The MAK Center for Art and Architecture, a think tank funded by the Austrian government and based in the Schindler
House, has acquired two other Schindler properties: We organize events, tours, and
fundraisers around these houses, so theyre a living organism, not an exalted, frozenin-time object, says MAK Center director Kimberli Meyer. The institutions share ideas
about fundraising and different ways of programming. Its not just about physical restoration of an art piece, says Sarah Lorenzen, resident director of Richard Neutras own
1932 VDL Research House in Silver Lake, now owned by California State Polytechnic
University, Pomona. Its a building; it should have activities in it.
Until recently, the Getty Foundation, which one observer says could have bought all L.
A.s Case Study Houses for the price of a van Gogh, was conspicuous by its absence. But
this spring the Getty is helping sponsor Pacic Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A., a cluster of shows across the basin dealing with the modernist legacy. And
last March, the Getty Conservation Institute inaugurated the Conserving Modern Architecture Initiative to research issues germane to modernist buildings. Its rst project: Case
Study House No. 8, the Eames House, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1949.
Modernist buildings present a special preservation challenge because architects experimented with new materials: We try to identify areas that conservators are struggling
withconcrete, curtain walls, plastics, at roong systemslessons that can be applied
beyond Los Angeles, says Tim Whalen, director of the Getty Conservation Institute. Were
trying to lay out research for best practice. We started with the Eames house as a local but
superb example.
With the same scientic approach it uses on art restoration, the Gettys analytical examination of building materials is informing how to conserve the Eames House. Weve used
all our information to take a more balanced conservation approach, says Kyle Normandin,
senior project specialist at the institute. The colors of the house, for example, changed

over the years they lived in it, so were not just aiming at the way it looked in the early
images when it was fresh and new.
The directors of the Eames Foundation decided on a conservation rather than preservation strategy. We liked the history and story of the house, the fact that it was worn
lovingly. We like that feeling and want to take it into the future, says Eames Demetrios,
the Eamess grandson. We wanted to conserve everything that was still there from the
original moment, and avoid doing anything that isnt reversible. Its like a work of art: If
youre xing the Mona Lisa, you might clean it but you dont repaint it.
Escher GuneWardena Architecture is developing the conservation master plan. The
Eames Foundation decided to restore it to 1988, when Ray died, to acknowledge the
ongoing tweaking and manipulation of the house after it was built, says principal
Frank Escher, who commends the Getty for its efforts beyond the Eames project. I
cant overstate the importance of the Getty Conservation Institute. We have this amazing collection of Modernist houses in a city thats been an architectural laboratory for
decades. But the Getty adds the presence of a ministry of culture to the effort. Its lling a very big void. Its a game changer. Joseph Giovannini

Would you be interested in trying something really massive? That was the
question posed by Eileen Tognini, curator at Skybox at 2424 Studios in Philadelphia,
to installation artist Chris Klapper, whose largest piece to that point was a mere 8
feet high. Tognini challenged her to ll the 7,000-square-foot gallery space with a
show that would be epic in every way. A bit daunted, Klapper turned to her husband, Patrick Gallagher, a fellow installation artist, to collaborate on Symphony in D
Minor, a multimedia work inspired by the viscera of thunderstorms. A storm rolling
in, building to a crescendo, and gradually receding, in our minds, closely followed
symphonic form, Klapper says of the title. We chose D minor since compositions
in that key tend to be more dramatic in tone, adds Gallagher.
The piece comprised a quartet of 22-foot-long translucent cylinders, their shape
inspired by long rolling arcus clouds, hung beneath the gallerys 40-foot-high skylit
ceiling. Acrylic tubing was heated, bent into arcs, welded into 5-foot-diameter rings,
and spaced at 4-foot intervals to create a circular rib cage for each cylinder. Pliable
resin sheets, cast in silicone molds, were wrapped around these armatures, creating
a skin upon which storm imagescaptured on an iPhone by the artistswere backprojected from inside the giant forms. Decorative resin endcaps, molded to evoke
storm drains, provided the nishing touch.
Despite being referred to as clouds, the cylinders, complete with all their technology equipment, weighed 600 pounds apiece. Thus steel pipes were secured
by clamps to steel mounts tted around the gallerys original ceiling trusses; suspended from these pipes, the cylinders were free to swing.
When the installation was up last fall, the gallery proctor would surprise visitors
by reaching up to give one of the clouds a gentle shove, which caused the projections of a calm blue sky to darken and rumbling sounds to emerge. Viewers were
then encouraged to push the suspended cylinders harder themselves and, gazing
upward, observe the thunderous results. When gallery-goers realized they could
touch the art, a taboo boundary was broken, Gallagher says. That was a beautiful
thing to watch. Over the course of approximately 40 minutes, the basso profondo
of a full-blown storm diminished to the pitter-patter of receding rain, only to regroup
and thunder again. Craig Kellogg

ZENUS
Zenus is the next evolution of performance fabrics. Stains and
spills can be wiped away with just a dry cloth. Multiple layers
of skin are applied on top of the textile to create a solid surface
preventing moisture, stains, and other materials from entering
the textile layer. The industrys original graffiti-free finish is then
incorporated into the skin to become the first ink-erasable fabric.
Bleach cleanable, ink-resistant, eco-friendly, and extremely
durable, Zenus redefines contract textiles. ciRclE 31

taking cues from a love of repurposed materials, Walk the Plank makes
proper reference to the eccentric qualities of old timbers with its deeply
grooved grain and a bold range of values within each colorway. an inspired
tweak on the common carpet tile, Walk the Plank is long and narrow in a
25cm x 1m tile. evoking all the warmth and familiarity of an age-worn wooden
floor, this clever shift in format is an instant classic. the skinny plank
offers new ideas about making pattern on the floor. a herringbone installation
brings distinctive scale and movement. ashlar is suddenly made elegant
through longer, leaner lines. and mixing with our other sizes gives unlimited
possibilities. CIRClE 49

the beauty of laUFens first freestanding solid-surface tub comes
from its organic and sensuous shape, a design in keeping with the
entire palomba collection. Designed in collaboration with Roberto
palomba, the bathtub is the leading protagonist in laUFens newest
palomba collection. this collection builds on the design language
that the palombas describe as a fingerprint of nature. the dynamic
asymmetrical shape and high back recall a natural water basin
carved out of the rocks over the millennia. Roberto palomba cites
his inspiration as the interaction between coves and cliffs and the
action of the sea against the rocks and the shapes which are formed
from the never-ending conflict. circle 60

Denieuwegeneratie,
a young Dutch
architecture firm,
builds an
under the hill

experimental,
super-sustainable
house just outside
Amsterdam
165
The Netherlands is famous for many things, not least its prodigious output of fine design. Varied topography, however, isnt one of its big signifiers; when people think Holland, chances are they think flat. So Dutch
Mountainthe name of the first residential project from Amsterdam firm Denieuwegeneratieis a deliberate contradiction in terms, a sort of tongue-in-cheek oxymoron.
And yet the name accurately describes what the suburban Amsterdam house is: a glass, larch, concrete,
and steel structure partially encased in a manmade hillside,
which acts as a natural, sustainablenot to mention conversationstartingform of thermal insulation. Believe it or not, the house
sits in what is, by Dutch standards, a hilly area, notes principal Thomas Dieben, who, like his
two coprincipals, is in his early
30s. (Denieuwegeneratie, by the
way, is Dutch for new generation.) And many of those hills
are artificial, having been constructed in the 19th century by
local noblemen so they could survey their land. Occupying a 1 1/2acre plot in a verdant, governmentprotected area, the new hillside is
also a clever response to council
authorities requirements that
the house be contextually appropriate to the landscape.
We really challenged ourselves
at several practical levels, coprincipal Oskar Vos says. Theres
nothing more idiotic than trying
to bury a house, since you need to
bring in light and air. Vos and
Diebenalong with third principal, Sanne Oomen, who lives in Dutch Mountain with her husband, advertising executive Lucas Mol, and their two childrenbegan by approaching an engineering and sustainability

consultant to help them conceptualize and build their vision. Our specific knowledge of
the software part of the project wasnt sufficient to the task, Dieben admits. But we believe the sustainable goals can and should mostly be reached with the actual architecture.
Totaling 7,600 square feet, the house is essentially one large space on three staggered
levels. The north side is covered by the mountain of soil, which was excavated from the
site and re-constituted around the poured-concrete foundation; the south and southwest
facades are glass-enclosed,
surrounded by a locally
sourced larch frame. Its very
local, Dieben jokes, from a
forest less than a half mile
from here. The idea was that
everywhere there wasnt
mountain, there would be
wood and glass. Wood is the
intermediary between the
earth and the glazing.
The glass walls leverage the
south-southwest exposure to
the fullest, pulling light far into
the house. The entrance, opposite these windows, is embedded in the mountainside. Its
like approaching a bunker,
Vos notes. People are astonished when they walk through
the door and theyre facing
that transparent facade. The
entrance is on the top level;
twin staircases descend to the
double-height, split-level public space: dining and kitchen
areas on the upper side; living
and den areas on the lower.
Looking down from the entry
gives an Alice-in-Wonderland
effect. Into a mountain,
through a tiny door, into this
amazing volume, says Oomen.
The architects used wooden
partitions to divvy up the
private space in the earthencased rear of the house.
None of the walls are structural, says Vos, so their configuration can be easily altered
later. The rooms are stacked in
slightly irregular fashion, with
a workspace, two bedrooms,
and a bathroom at the top; a
utility room that connects the
garage to the kitchen in the
middle; and the master suite
on the lowest level.
The envelope is all about
austerity: The materials
rough concrete walls, poured
concrete flooring, glass, steel,
birch plywoodare in full view and undisguised. It speaks a language thats honest and
clean, says Dieben. Chandeliers and pendant fixtures throughout are suspended from
steel tension rods that traverse the breadth of the space. The load-bearing structure in
the roof is steel, he explains, so the rods could be very thin. As for natural light, it
169
was tricky to find light sources for the lowest floor, Vos says. The team solved the problem with what they
call a light chimney, essentially a well from a skylight in the roof, through a second-floor bedroom, and
down to the master bedroom some 13 feet below.
The furnishings stand in cheeky contrast to the surrounding austerity; replete with color, custom designs,
and flashes of humor, its the collective work of the firm and the couple. Most of the elementsreclaimed
doors and windows, a chandelier fashioned from second-hand teapots, skateboards repurposed as stair
treadsfound their way in during the process, says Ooben. But
this principle of flexibility suits
the sustainable story of the
house. The interiors adjust to the
inhabitants, in this case, my family. We have an eclectic style. We
like surprises. We like details. And
we didnt want to live in an architectonic box. The house can handle all this, which means the design succeeded.
Vos and Diemen also cited
Mols vast collection of art, relics,
and curiosities, amassed on his
extensive travels, as an important

design consideration: the generously sized basement was conceived to store most of it. One
particularly large piece, however,
is displayed on a kitchen wall:
Mols Daimler Double-Six from
the late 1980s. It retired for the
green dream, jokes Oomen. But
it still has a function, holding
cookbooks in its seats.

As it evolved over the last four decades,

architect Nancy Copleys own house drew inspiration from its wooded setting in Accord, New York
173
Standing outside her largely transparent,

diamond-shape house in the forested foothills
of Accord, New York, the petite 85-year-old
Nancy Copley could easily be mistaken for a
wood sprite. That is if the wood sprite had
studied architecture and interior design at
Pratt Institute and structural engineering at
Columbia University and had the aesthetic vision, technical capabilities, and sheer moxie to
design and build an astonishing and idiosyncratic residencea testament to organic modernismon her own time and own dime. A 37year-long labor of love, Copleys 3,000-squarefoot magnum opus spreads over three levels
connected by a large open staircase. The main
entry, two bedrooms, and an office occupy the
ground floor; the living, dining, and music areas, kitchen, and master suite share the second
floor; a spacious balcony, which once housed a
pipe organ, sits on top.
Of Copleys many attributes, tenacity is perhaps foremost. As a woman breaking into a
mans profession in the mid 20th century, she
174
encountered a lot of frictionfrom no ladies

restroom at Pratt, where she was the only female student in her class, to architectural
firms that refused to hire women, or would
only assign them menial tasks. You have to
keep fighting the guys to prevent them from
giving you some stupid job, she said at the
time. Copley persevered, going on to design
the Jewish Institute for Geriatric Careone of
the largest facilities of its kind by a woman architectin New Hyde Park in the late 1960s.
Other plan-oriented projects followed from her
base in Manhattan. But she ultimately took the
road less traveled, moving up to the hills north
of New Paltz full-time in 1972. She found serenity and inspiration in nature and the specific
character of the 50-acre property.
Indeed, any conversation with Copley about
her house begins with the natural beauty of
the landscape that surrounds it. It tells me
what to do, she says simply. The fall of the
land suggested the three levels of the house; a
triangular boulder near the entrance, its

faceted shape. Copley may have learned about

architectural flow from snow falling off trees,
but she learned stonemasonry by doing it herself. Using ad-hoc cranes, Copley and her first
husband hoisted and hand-set the hewn bluestone blocks that now comprise the 44-foothigh, 30-foot-wide tower at the center of the
house, a task that took six years. A scale model
shows the main structural components: the
tower and its adjoining stone foundation, the
oak posts and beams that support the copper
roof and upper floors, and the oak ribs that
frame the extensive glazing.
Around this architectural skeleton, the house
came to life, filled with modern wooden furniture, handwoven textiles, and pottery; and
with plants, music, and people. A relentlessly
creative spirit, Copley constantly tinkered with
it and the nearby diamond-shape thatchedroof barn that sheltered a herd of alpacas.
When I asked her what year she completed the
house, Copley replied brusquely, Do you think
its finished?
Now retired and planning to head out west
to paint, Copley has put her house up for sale.
It stands somewhat emptied. To bring back its
full vitality, Cindy Allen, editor in chief of Interior Design, suggested photographing it with
some of the quirky mid-century furniture and
objects I deal in, which she felt would be a perfect fit for the singular space. So I took a truckful of my inventory up to the house, where it
joined original George Nakashima furniture
including free-edge Minguren and trestle dining tables, Greenrock stools, and a magnificent
tortured-wood cocktail tablethat Copley

trips to his studio in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

reverence for wood, manifest in her homes
oak beams and reclaimed chestnut-plank
flooring, diligently amassed and stored for
years before installation, as well as the built-in
walnut cabinets with their free-edge tops. But
whereas Nakashimas studio channels Zen, Copleys house adds a spark of drama, even theatricality. The glass-paneled cathedral ceiling
and suspended staircase soar over the great
room, opening sight lines to sky and forest, and
enclosing a majestic, acoustically balanced living space, complete with a grand piano, 6-foothigh speakers, and a pipe-organ loft. Like a
stage, this is a space meant for entertainment
and performance as much as for peaceful contemplation.
On the day of the shoot, Copley looked on dubiously as we dragged in a Johannes Andersen
leather sofa, a Clifford Pascoe wood-dowel
screen, and a Paul Mayen walnut-and-steel ta-
180
ble lamp. But she warmed as room settings

took shape and affinities appeareda Richard
Filipowski sculpture atop her Nakashima dining table; a Henry Glass sling chair juxtaposed
with her Nakashima cocktail table; a Josef
Twirbutt wood collage up against the hearth.
And she finally lit up on seeing Don Shoemaker
cocobolo wood Sloucher chairs in the downstairs studio. These earned a nod and a smile
the ultimate Copley seal of approval.
Postscript: After suffering a heart attack, Nancy

Copley died peacefully on January 15, 2013, with
her husband, Russel Oliver, by her side, at Vassar
Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.
In her Editors Welcome on page 5, Cindy Allen writes
about our memorable encounter with the architect
and her living treasure of a house.

Rottet Studio produces a blockbuster of an

office for United Talent Agency in Los Angeles
182
183
Its a known fact. Talent agencies are as much about image as they are about business. Nowhere is this truer than in
entertainments epicenter, Los Angeles. Two of the citys big three agencies already had design-statement headquarters.
Creative Artists Agencys, known around town as the mother ship, is an awe-inspiring work of corporate power construed
by Gensler. William Morris Endeavors building is a paean to Neil M. Denari Architectss cutting-edge architectural theory.
These descriptions come courtesy of Richard Riveire, principal of Rottet Studio, the firm tapped to put United Talent
Agency on a design par with its peers.
Riveires first task was to differentiate UTA from the competition. What you guys need, he told CEO Jeremy Zimmer,
is a place thats talent-friendly, comfortable, and a little more residential, while still showing the power and prestige of
corporate architecture. Like a film script, this collaboration came with a backstory. Four years ago, Rottet Studio was
asked to propose a redesign of UTAs existing boardroom, part of a cobbled-together Beverly Hills headquarters that
evinced the agencys rapid growth since its 1991 founding. Thats when we were deciding whether to move or stay,
Zimmer recalls. The firms concept for a conferencing center on top of the building was original and beautiful. My only
regret was that we didnt get a chance to build it.
Move the agency did, though not out of Beverly Hills. As a client-service industry, UTA needs to be close to its customers, founding principal and Interior Design Hall of Famer Lauren Rottet adds. UTA took over the former Hilton hotels
headquarters: a pair of buildings that flank a plaza, each with four stories, one of which is below grade. Though the interiors, 120,000 square feet in total, accommodating a staff of 350, were badly cut up, some of the innate vocabulary was
spot-on. To Riveire, it was like a studio lot; to Zimmer, a campus.
At this point, Zimmer stepped up to the lead. I want this to be the best space in Los Angeles, Riveire recalls him

directing. A place where colleagues looked forward to coming, Zimmer adds, to have a hospitality feelingfunctional,
but with buzz. To be avoided: Anything that told people how powerful we are.
Zimmers contribution to that best rating is his extraordinary art collection, mostly large-scale photography. Andreas
Gurskys hyper-kinetic view of the Kuwaiti Stock Exchange looms just beyond reception. In a corridor, Thomas Struths
image of a Eugne Delacroix painting in the Tokyo National Museum is a personal Zimmer favorite and among his earliest
purchases. One of the newest, an abstract tapestry by Pae White, adapted from her photograph of crushed foil, was commissioned for a huge swath of wall in reception. But not everything is monumental. Theres a small oil on canvas by my
grandmother in my office, Zimmer says.
In addition to the art, the quotidian workings of an agency and L.A.s car culture dictated certain design conditions.
Take the valet-parking setup. It has its own small lounge thats also art-packed. A piece by street artist Retna keeps company with John Millers oversize gilded No, which, as Zimmer says, is particularly appropriate since, as agents, thats
what were always hearing.
Weekly all-staff meetings take place in the west, secondary building, where most of the ground floor is dedicated to a
divisible multipurpose room. The east building, however, is the primary showpiece. Its home to UTAs six board members, including Zimmer, most of the 21 partners, the majority of the 130 agents, their assistants, and seven conference
rooms that are semitransparent and well lit by clerestories.
Its bi-level screening room, on the lowest floors, is the antithesis of a black box. Its a richly textured volume, with highlow furnishings. At the luxe end of the scale, seatingcaramel-colored Bentley banquettes, as Riveire calls theminsures the room works equally well with sparse or SRO attendance, as was the case for Flight and This Is 40 screenings.
But the glowing moir effect on the ceiling canopy comes from nothing more than folded swaths of inexpensive polyester. Similarly, theater drapes are a low-cost hospitality velvet, glammed up with Fortuny borders.
Rising next to the screening room is Rottet Studios main move: a large hole, blasted through all four floors, for a switchback stair in cerused oak and tinted glass, its floor-through views stretching from side to side and front to back. Off the

stair, the 9-foot-wide connecting corridors are more than mere passageways; they also function as meeting spots and
galleries, their chiaroscuro-patterned wool rugs adding that aforementioned residential quality. Work areas adhere to the
industry standard: Runs of agent offices have assistant workstations within easy visual and aural access. Conference
rooms are lined with banquettes to accommodate overflow seating.
Far from standard, though, are the massive conference tables topped in Bardiglio marble and the degree of custom
work throughout. In reception, for example, the desk comprises folded planes of black limba, a hardwood, and blizzardwhite solid surfacing, and the stairways handrail is wrapped in hand-stitched leather. Take away the decorative elements,
says Riveire, and the office is actually reductivejust white, black, wood, and glass. The vocabulary is austerely cinematic, a mise-en-scne that works equally well for clients as diverse as Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Judd Apatow.

Faced with numerous building restrictions in Sagaponack,
New York, Bates Masi Architects conjures residential luxury
out of programmatic restraint

oak canopy are sectional sofas by Antonio Citterio;
across from it are custom pendant xtures by Matt
Gagnon Studio. On 2 acres, the houses facade mixes
concrete, cedar, and Cor-Ten steel.
To witness what unregulated development has wrought on the Hamptons, you need
only view Fair Field, a mansion built by billionaire Ira Rennert in 1999 on the beachfront
in Sagaponack, New York. An Italianate monstrosity with 29 bedrooms and 39 bathrooms,
it is reportedly the nations largest inhabited private house. Following the building of the
110,000-square-foot compound, the pastoral enclave, which claims one of Americas wealthiest ZIP codes, elected to assert independence from the town of Southampton and incorporate as a villagewith its own zoning and architectural review boards, of course.
Literally a stones throw from the Rennert pile, on a narrow spit of blue-chip real estate
nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and a small pond, stands a house designed by Bates
Masi Architects that embraces restraint, not ostentation. Bucking prevailing Hamptons realestate logic, the owners tore down an existing 1980s eyesore, which principal Harry Bates
called a big white elephant worthy of Austin Powers, and replaced it with a structure roughly
half the size. Due to rigorous beachfront zoning, the firm had to move the new house back
40 feet from the shoreline. Setbacks from the pond on the opposite side could not budge,
leaving a much smaller footprint in which to pack an ambitious program of eight bedrooms,
two offices, a pool house, and an athletic court. The design was a process of carving away
and integrating the house into the site, explains coprincipal Paul Masi. It was about
blending materials into the landscape and making things go away.
At 7,500 square feet, the house is hardly small. But it evinces a less-is-more approach.
We kept it as serene as possible and limited the number of materials. You dont need a lot
of design moves when you have the ocean on one side and a pond on the other, Masi
continues. The idea was for the architecture to take a step back. When youre on the beach,
the house disappears. Not quite, but there is certainly a light touch.
195
The plan is disarmingly simple: The main residence is rectangular with large windows and
telescoping glass doors on its long flanks open to the ocean and pond, respectively. The
house deflects attention from all angles. Exterior materialsnatural cedar and steelwere
chosen to blend into the landscape. We love Cor-Ten because it feels of the earth. In some
ways, its a nonmaterial, Masi says. The eastern end of the house abuts a freestanding
garage that, together with the pool house finished in matching cedar and steel, and a
swimming pool tucked against beach dunes, frames a combined basketball and tennis
court. It was like fitting together the pieces of a very complex jigsaw puzzle, the architect states. Equally complicated was addressing the mandates of four distinct jurisdictions: village, town, county, and state.
Most rooms open onto both bodies of water or offer clear views across the width of the
house. With the sliding glass doors pushed back, The house becomes a big screen
porch, says Bates. Ocean breezes waft through the airy interior, which is predominantly
oak and polished concrete, rendering the house a giant beach pavilion. Lofty living
spaces and a pair of guest rooms are located on the main level; upstairs are the master
bedroom, separate bathrooms and offices for the husband-and-wife clients, and five bedroom suites for the couples children and guests.
All exterior and interior wood surfaces, except for the oak flooring, were hand-rubbed with
steel wool dissolved in vinegar. The solution reacts with tannins in the wood, darkening
the material as if weathered over time by salty winds. One synthetic materialCorian
figures prominently in the bathrooms. Slabs of the material form shower floors routed
with linear drains and, in the childrens baths, tub fronts carved with nicknames and favorite sports teams. (The fathers bathroom exhibits similar verbiage, although his comprises
the names of alma maters.) Its like something that washed up on the beach, Masi adds,
referring to the artificial stones smooth as ocean-glass finish. Such details affirm Bates

and Masis love of refinement and craft, which is also evident in their designs for interlocking steel-and-oak dining tables, a wall-size wine rack in which bottles are cradled in
stainless-steel mesh hammocks, and even a trio of tables for backgammon, chess, and
Scrabble in laser-cut leather.
The property took a beating during Hurricane Sandy, as the storm surge breached the
dune and flowed into the pond on the opposite side, knocking out a walkway and stairs
to the beach. Except for a flooded basement, however, the house was unscathed. Bates
and Masi imagine the original structure wouldnt have been so lucky. That the house
weathered the storm so well reaffirms everything authorities have been telling us and
everything the code asks for, Bates says. Like restraint, rules are often a good thing.

The 19th and
21st centuries
meet in the
Roundhouse
at Beacon Falls,
a hospitality
complex in upstate New York
by Rockwell
Group
212
213
The upstate New York landscape is rife with abandoned industrial buildings begging for adaptive reuse. Dia: Beacon,
the 10-year-old contemporary art museum on the banks of the Hudson River, 60 miles north of Manhattan, is a paragon of
the genrean obsolete cracker-box factory transformed by OpenOffice and artist Robert Irwin into an architectural attraction and catalyst for the towns gentrification. Inspired by that example, father-and-son developers McAlpine Construction
acquired a cluster of forlorn redbrick mill buildings at the other end of Beacons mile-long Main Street. Dramatically situated
on Fishkill Creek with cinematic views of
Beacon Falls, the neglected 6-acre compound needed to be resuscitated in a way
appropriate for a community of working
families, second-home owners, and ex-New
Yorkers. Everyone who saw this property
fantasized about what to do with it, says
the firms general counsel Brendan McAlpine. By happenstance, he met Jeffrey Ashey,
a longtime Beacon resident and CFO of
Rockwell Group. We asked him if the firm
would ever consider taking on a small project like ours, he continues. After several
discussions, it was a go.
McAlpine and his father, Robert, the principal of the company, both did and didnt
know what they were getting into when they
dreamed up the Roundhouse at Beacon Falls,
a complex they hoped would draw the international art aficionados who make the pilgrimage to Dia. The final vision includes Swift, a
farm-to-table restaurant; Patio, an alfresco
cafe; 2EM, a cocktail lounge perched above
the rapids; and a 14-room boutique hotel
(with additional rooms and a spa under
construction shortly), totaling 42,000
square feet. In a separate building, the

Waterfall Room, a 9,000-square-foot banquet hall suitable for weddings and conferences, creates cash flow while driving
traffic to the hotel and restaurant. The McAlpines were so patient about letting the concept evolve, notes principal and
Interior Design Hall of Fame member David Rockwell. Youve heard of the slow-food movement? This project could herald
the start of the slow-hotel movement.
Rockwell Group is, of course, famous for dazzling big-budget projects, so the Roundhouse was atypical not only because
of its modest scale, but also because of the restraint required to keep the focus on the historic structures and their natural
setting. We were so seduced by the site, Rockwell says of both the heart-stopping environment and the dilapidated mill
complex, some components of which are nearly 200 years old. We let the buildings do the loud talking to amplify the drama
of the history, adds senior associate David Zaccheo.
During the six-month planning phase, the architects deferred preservation issues to the developers, who were busy stabilizing the buildings before the design was
finalized. The compound had been abandoned for 50 years, Brendan McAlpine
says. Whats now the event space had dirt
floors and was filled with old cars. We tried
very hard to keep as much of the original
structures as possible. When new features
such as the 12-foot-tall bay windows in
Swift were added, Rockwell Group worked
to make them appear inevitable. The design team softened the hard concrete shell
of each guest room with tactile furnishings,
including walnut headboards, faceted
zebrawood side tables, hand-knotted rugs,
and oak-plank flooring.
The McAlpine team insisted the project
benefit the community. They were committed to locally sourced and locally made,
which we found very appealing, Zaccheo
says. Beacon is a center for small-batch
furniture makers and glassblowers, and we
were able to bring those talents to the project. The McAlpines introduced Rockwell
Group to area vendors and artisans, who
created the glass pendants for the dining
room, lounge, and penthouse-suite bathrooms; the lumber for tabletops, wainscoting, and bathroom doors; the tile in the
public restrooms; and select wool rugs.
Even the art is local: The enormous photograph over the bar is by Mike and Doug
Starn, who created the 2010 rooftop installation at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art and have a studio in Beacon. Theyre
regulars at Swift, McAlpine says.
The Waterfall Room has an airy, postindustrial feel. We were determined to
save the original wood trusses, but otherwise we had to rebuild the whole thing. We
used existing bricks to make sure it didnt
look new, McAlpine explains. Rockwell
Group did create a Vegas-worthy moment,
however: In the reception anteroom, a pair

banquet hall. Opposite bottom: Pendant xtures by Ernesto Gismondi hang among the buildings original oak trusses, over new ooring of

217
of barn-style doors slides open to reveal a

balcony overlooking the ballroom with its
soaring open-truss ceiling and 19-foot-high
window wall facing the falls.
Visitors are really affected by the setting,
Zaccheo says. We brought a bit of urbanity
to the country. To Rockwell, its a new vision
of luxury: People are looking for a unique
experience, he says. Combining industrial
structure with contemporary flourishes makes
for something pretty unusual. Those in need
of a little more dazzle are invited to take in
the view of the falls on a moonlit night.

books
edited by Stanley Abercrombie
by Miguel ngel Aragons

New York: Rizzoli International
Publications, $75
430 Pages, 250 color illustrations
It is always a delight to come across a book
lled with images of stunning buildings
and interiors, especially when you
have never seen any of them before, and most especially when
their designer is unknown to
you. Where has the talented
Seor Aragons sprung from?
Born in 1962 in Mexico City
and self-taught, he has lectured at a number of international architecture schools and
taught at Mexicos Universidad Anhuac and the Colegia Ocial de
Arquitectos Vasco-Navarro in Bilbao, Spain. He also participated
in the rst Bienal Nacional de Arquitectura Mexicana sponsored in
part by his native citys Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes. The designers work
comprises white-walled lyrical geometries, selectively open to the sun during
the day, illuminated in strong colors at night. In his foreword, Michael Sorkin
suggests inuences from Dan Flavin, Richard Meier, Richard Neutra, Carlo Scarpa,
James Turrell, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Robert Venturi. But the Aragons
amalgam, as Sorkin rightly says, is strikingly his own.
The book shows 14 Aragons designs. Most are residential, but perhaps the
standout is Hotel Encanto in the Las Brisas section of Acapulco de Jurez. We
are treated to 54 mostly single-image pages of the Encanto. It was built with
few resources, economic materials, and local labor, yet it is also a great labyrinth, whose exits open out onto and are completed by the ocean. The book
itself is an enchantment, with oor plans, locations, dates, and square footages
all relegated to an appendix, leaving much of it uninterrupted by text. When
words appear (in both Spanish and English), blocks of type are appropriately
arranged in compositions we may soon be calling Aragonian. Let Sorkin have
the penultimate word: A discovery has been made andseemingly out of nowheremy sense of possible architectures greatly enlarged. Which leaves the
last word to Aragons himself: Architecture envelops, blankets us. This is the
essence of its nobility and power.
Designers Abroad: Inside

the Vacation Homes of Top
Decorators

New York: Monacelli Press, $50
224 pages, 200 color illustrations
Seeing what designers have done for their
own houses is always interesting; seeing
what they have done for their private getaways can be even more so. Here are the
retreats of 26 designers in 15 countries.
Thomas Bartletts house in La Peita de Jaltemba, Mexico, mixes Portuguese
chairs, an 18th-century French chest, rugs from Oaxaca and India, and a wealth
of talavera pottery on traditional terra-cotta oors. Interior Design Hall of Fame
220
member Trisha Wilson escapes from Dallas all the way to Vaalwater, South
Africa, where, within sand-colored, hand-plastered walls, she enjoys wovengrass rugs, indigenous masks, and Zulu telephone wire baskets. Fences keep
out the lions.
Clodagh, another Hall of Famer, goes back to Ballinspittle in her native Ireland,
where she restored a 300-year-old stone cowshed, juxtaposing a steel-faced
replace with Connemara mountain sheepskins, a collection of old boat propellers, and furniture, rugs, and custom lamps by the designer and her children.
When Juan Montoya returns to Bogot, Colombia, he heads to an apartment
featuring pre-Columbian sculpture, lambskin-padded closet doors, and elaborately carved and gilded (but empty) picture frames.
Juan Pablo Molyneuxs Paris at in the Marais boasts walls
covered in silk damask, gilt-wood sconces, Russian
mahogany chairs, and tall bronze lamps on Louis
XV tables. Tapestries, too. Mica Ertegun, another
Hall of Fame member, retreats to Bodrum, Turkey,
to relax with whitewashed walls, native ceramic
tiles, white canvas sailing over an outdoor dining area, and a collection of framed calligraphy.

The Innocence of Objects

by Orhan Pamuk
New York: Abrams, $35
272 pages, 526 color illustrations
Drawn to Istanbul by the traditional
textile trade, architect Michael Daviss
interest in Turkeys cultural capital has
grown deeper since discovering the novels
of Orhan Pamuk. As the Swedish Academy
wrote in awarding Pamuk the 2006 Nobel
Prize in Literature, In the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city, [he] has discovered new symbols for the
clash and interlacing of cultures. Sometimes that quest involves the examination of domestic ephemera, when his writing draws a connection
between the emotions objects provoke and their physical appearance, Davis
says. In fact, the plot of Pamuks novel, The Museum of Innocence, was inspired by an actual collection of everyday items he had assembled. After its
publication, the author turned curator and established a house museum for
his holdings. The Innocence of Objects, a catalogue of those artifacts, is both
emotional and objectivepart fiction, part reality. Ive read it twice, and
its still revealing itself to me, Davis continues. Its heartbreakingly delicious in every way. When not engrossed in the literary romance of place,
Davis has been working on a restaurant for chef Zakary Pelaccio in Hudson,
New York, where he spends weekends. But being housed in a former blacksmith shop, the project is sure to benefit from the architects meditations
on transformation. Deborah Wilk

Gorgeous photos and eloquent prose can capture

the story, but nothing compares to experiencing
a space firsthand. Interior Design gave more than
100 designers the opportunity to do just that at the
6,600-square-foot penthouse that was featured
on the cover of our November issue. Guests took in
the panoramic New York City skyline views and
provocative artsome even ventured down the
80-foot-long steel slide that coils through the
apartments four floors. The biggest thrill of all? Its
designers, David Hotson Architect and Ghislaine
Vias Interior Design, won an Interior Design
Best of Year Award for the project.

For 42
Architects,
Hyttgrdsparken
presented an unusual
challengeand not just pronouncing it correctly. The Swedish
skate park, located in Falun, some 150
miles northwest of Stockholm, was to occupy
1 acres in a UNESCO World Heritage site that
includes remnants of a copper-mining operation dating to the 13th century. So, the question was, how to t a
decidedly modern, urban activity into a historic landscape.
The result represents a dialogue between the contemporary
skater culture and the settings clearly evident past use. We took an
archeological approach, says 42 Architects director Johan Berglund, creating a park that exists as a series of perceived trenches that have been exposed.
Those trenches are, in fact, poured concrete, and, in recently completed phase one, they
take the form of typical skate-park features, carefully oriented: Stairs, blocks, and rails are situated toward the city side; banked, folded, carved, and angular forms, which more closely reference
excavation, face the former copper mine.
Phase two, starting construction later this year, will add more skating pits plus green spaces, pedestrian paths,
and benches. I grew up skateboarding on the very spot where the park is now, Berglund says. So, of course, I have a
strong personal attachment to the project. However, there will also be boule pitches for the non-roller set. Stephen Trefnger
