DESIGN DIALOGUE AND LUNCHEON: Friday, October 2

On Friday, October 2, SFIDP presents its 5th Annual Design Dialogue at the Farmers Market Building in the Railyard District, Santa Fe. The event will take place from 9AM through 12:00 and will be followed by a catered luncheon. The theme of this year’s Design Dialogue is Beauty, Collaboration, Design. The panel discussion will be moderated by Marvin Wilkinson of John Brooks, Inc. The four speakers will be Tom Joyce, Laura Guido-Clark, Andrew Wagner, and Lori Weitzner.                             

Tom Joyce is a Santa Fe resident, who has achieved national and international fame for his work as an artist, designer, and blacksmith. In 2003, Joyce received the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, and he has also been awarded the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. 

Laura Guido-Clark is an expert in the skin of consumer products – their color, materials, and finish. Her ability to translate those influences into prescient forecasting and concrete applications of color and finish has helped companies such as HP, Samsung, Apple, Mattel, and Toyota. 

Lori Weitzner is principal and creative director of her own New York-based design firm as well as the Weitzner Limited wall coverings company. Her recognizable signature is a sophisticated color palette, intricate, dimensional textures and a lyrical, painterly approach to pattern.  

Andrew Wagner is the editor-in-chief of ReadyMade magazine. Prior to coming to ReadyMade he was the editor-in-chief of American Craft magazine. Wagner was also the executive editor and founding managing editor of Dwell magazine, garnering the publication the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) General Excellence Award in 2005. 

Marvin Wilkinson is a co-owner of John Brooks Incorporated, a nationally-known showroom exclusive to the trade of designers and architects. They represent leading artisans of furniture, fabric and lighting in the design industry and recognize the distinctive palette of the western residence.

DESIGN SANTA FE HOME TOUR: Friday and Saturday, October 2 and 3.

On Friday and Saturday, October 2 and 3, SFIDP sponsors their 5th Annual Home Tour. This unique event allows people to peek into custom home interiors created by local designers for their Santa Fe clients. We asked each of this year’s Home Tour designers to share a little about themselves, their home tour projects, and their connection to this year’s theme; Beauty, Collaboration, Design.

A former executive with Gap, Inc., Jeff Fenton came to Santa Fe 7 years ago to pursue his life-long passion for interior design. After owning his own design firm for many years, Jeff recently joined forces with ACC (American Country Collection) as their Vice President of Design. Jeff’s dynamic, creative style and ability to provide vision to a client’s aspirations stand as his hallmarks. Jeff’s  work has been featured in numerous local and national publications, including Northwest Home & Garden, Elle Décor, Santa Fean, Sunset, Western Interiors, and TLC’s Trading Spaces.

Jeff’s home tour project is the embodiment of green building with its LEED Platinum Certification. Situated on an amazing site with 360 degree views, this 4,000 square foot home was designed by architect John Watson, who was schooled under Frank Lloyd Wright. The home’s unique organic architecture is complimented by soft contemporary finishes and furniture selections; each chosen to enhance this young family’s active and aesthetic lifestyle. American Clay walls, reclaimed oak floors and custom designed furniture combine to create the perfect “green” family oasis. 

Beauty, Collaboration, Design, is captured at every turn of this unique home. Built by Wolf Corp., this magnificent home is defined by its expansiveness and by its complexity and use of unique materials and green design. Collaboration between client, architect, builder and designer was the thread that made this dream home possible.

Steffany Hollingsworth is a seasoned design professional who provides imaginative yet practical interiors for her clientele throughout the country. Her philosophy is to create sophisticated, well-edited, artistic interiors regardless of style. Steffany is listed in the Heritage Registry of Who’s Who in Interior Design, and has been published in the books Leading Residential Interiors, The New Adobe Home, and in numerous trade magazines. Steffany’s fresh approach to creating interiors transcends both residential and commercial design.  

Steffany’s home tour submission is a contemporary dwelling which captures immaculate views while still boasting intimate outdoor spaces. Her use of dramatic design materials dance with stunning furnishings, rugs and art.  The home offers a hint of Asian flavor which lends softness and elegance to the otherwise bold contemporary structure. The home is an exemplary example of collaboration between top design professionals.

Steffany describes her project’s connection to this year’s theme as such: “Design is apparent in the composition of form & line found in the structure, doors & windows, tile applications, and the adjacencies of hard & soft finishes. Beauty is found in the way the architecture finds rapture with materials of burnished stone, Japanese paper, mesquite flooring and clay plaster. Collaboration was a seamless convergence by the Architect, Builder, Interior Designer, Kitchen & Bath Designer and Landscape Designer…blending the best of their talents, expertise and experiences.”

Prior to opening Moss Outdoor, Gloria Moss worked in New York for such high-style companies as Cassina and Knoll. She worked closely within the art & design communities collaborating with design giants; Gensler, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and acclaimed designer John Saladino. From these varied experiences, Gloria’s eye developed a keen sense of design which she brings not only to her personal residence featured on this year’s home tour, but also to the finely selected assortment of outdoor furnishings and accessories found within her showroom.

Gloria and her husband purchased their home five years ago after seeing it on the internet, she immediately told her husband to “stop looking!”  Gloria knew from the beginning that the home would present few challenges because the rooms were open and beautifully proportioned. She set out furnishing the home with a collection of twentieth-century classics that appear to have been custom made for the space! 

When asked about her home’s commitment to this year’s theme, Gloria responds; “My home embodies this year’s theme with its fusion of indoor meets outdoor design. For the outdoor spaces, I wanted the landscape to be rough yet natural and filled with native rocks and plantings mixed with annuals.” It goes without saying, that for Gloria, the outdoor furnishings are as important as the indoor, blurring the lines between indoors and out.

With a degree in art history and her lifelong involvement in the arts Victoria Price brings this knowledge to each of her design projects. Victoria specializes in remodels that seek to combine the best of classic Santa Fe with cutting edge contemporary style for which she has come to be known. Her store and design studio combines the international style of such iconic firms as Cassina, Moroso, Kartell, and Poltrona Frau, with the best of regional and historical art and artifacts.  

Victoria’s project features wonderful Territorial lines and architectural details surrounded by lovely gardens. This tour home also displayed the rambling use of space so typical of older Santa Fe homes, with its small rooms, low ceilings and converted spaces. When the couple who owned it asked Victoria to make it much more contemporary, her task was to harmonize the best parts of the old house with new finishes and increased functionality. 

“I chose this house in particular for this year's tour, with its theme of Beauty, Collaboration, Design, because it was a challenging remodel--but one that I hope proves that it is possible to keep what we all have loved about Santa Fe for so many years--classic design elements, idiosyncratic architecture, glorious grounds--and introduce greater functionality, beautiful contemporary finishes, and repurposed spaces--and achieve a harmonious blend of the old and the new.”

Lisa Samuel started her training studying architecture in California, and has an extensive background in lighting design and contract document production. Lisa is known for creating interiors that embody her client’s taste and lifestyle. “My work is always characterized by a sense of sophistication and clean elegance. With environmental issues at the forefront of our consciousness we are embracing these issues in a serious way. We endeavor to bring a unique organic sensibility to every project we do.” 

Lisa’s project is located in the lush Tesuque River Bosque whose location marries perfectly with this Northern New Mexico style home. The home features “Betty Stewart style” architectural appointments such as the eyebrow arches over doors and windows and deep masonry exterior walls which combine with hand-hewn ceiling timbers in a truly elegant way. The home’s design was shared by Interior Designer Greg Teakle and Architect Erik Burlingame both of whom were instrumental in bringing this vision to fruition.

Lisa’s project embodies Beauty, Collaboration, Design, in the collaborative efforts of the clients and the design team assembled to accomplish their goals in creating this beautiful estate. Lisa feels privileged to be among the team. “I am a big fan of the “Betty Stewart style,” says Lisa, “photographs do not do justice to this amazing home. The design is incredible and truly a collaborative effort in the many disciplines of design.”


Catherine Clemens, Owner, Clemens & Associates

Santa Fe, NM 87505

Catherine Clemens is a landscape architect and partner in Clemens & Associates, Inc. a landscape architecture, contracting and maintenance firm. Catherine began her career as a stone mason 30 years ago while obtaining her fine arts degree. Catherine’s love of design is reflected in her gardens which incorporate strong architectural elements and unique finish details into comfortable outdoor living spaces.

Curved walls in stone, brightly colored stucco and steel snake through this playful landscape designed by Catherine. Jewel-toned, teal blue and spring green walls float within the sculpture garden. The theme continues winding through a stand of local stone stele and a Moroccan pergola. Large flat stones meld into the landscape and serve as pedestals for the outdoor sculpture collection and graphic stone patterns delight the feet!

Design should be art with intention and purpose. This is no less true in garden design. The owners of this dynamic sculpture garden have a sophisticated aesthetic which has been honed through years of art collecting. Their love of pattern, texture and color are repeatedly integrated into the landscape design. This project was proof that successful synergy between client and designer can have dramatic results taking the project far beyond initial expectations.


DESIGN SANTA FE CO-OP HOUSE & DESIGN BOUTIQUE

Our 2009 Co-op Home Tour house is a collaborative project featuring the work of several of Santa Fe’s hottest designers. Styles mix, mesh and contrast throughout this home to create a one-of-a-kind design experience for tour goers.
