For this 3,000-square-foot townhouse, designer Amy Lau was tasked with creating a space that was livable, while also primed for entertaining. She carefully selected striking yet inviting furniture that would allow for larger and more intimate gatherings. A collection of conversation-worthy art, including a monumental sculpture by postwar abstractionist, Claire Falkenstein, adds to the home’s dynamic aesthetic. To create balance throughout the residence, which includes a library, screening room, and ballroom, Lau relied on a singular palette of warm browns and blues. Click here to view the full project.

This elegant residence by Timothy Whealon combines classical elements with cutting-edge, contemporary details. This unique dichotomy is most pronounced in the living room, where a transitional sofa and a dazzling chandelier are complemented by an enormous, stark artwork depicting a slithering centipede. The gracious residence also features eye-catching patterns, unexpected pops of color, and tactile materials, such as rattan, lucite, and fur. Click here to view the full project.

Phyllis and William Taylor, the husband-and-wife duo behind Taylor & Taylor, tackled both the architecture and interior design for this home, perched on top of a prominent ridge, high above the quaint village of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The expansive residence’s interiors were conceived as “Mountain Modern,” retaining their original coziness yet featuring a brighter palette and sophisticated furnishings, such as oversized velvet armchairs and sculptural lighting fixtures in metal and glass.
