PROJECT New Westminster ARCHITECT BattersbyHowat Architects LOCATION New Westminster, British Columbia Only two slim strips of glass provide a glimpse into the interior of a dwelling in New Westminster, a suburb of Vancouver. The house, composed of concrete walls and cedar siding, was designed to keep prying eyes at bay. But the structure leaves an impression that is far from unwelcoming: Swaths of bright yellow paint, tucked into recesses along the facade, suggest a certain playfulness. “Enigmatic” is how architect David Battersby describes the home’s streetside appearance. The residence of Grant Sigurdson and Todd Benko, the house contains a surprise beyond its entrance. Inside, its living spaces open dramatically to a veranda with a thriving garden and views of the city. “The actual experience of the house is antithetical to…

Project Venlet Residence Designer Venlet Interior Architecture Location Brussels, Belgium Over the course of his three-decade career, furniture designer and interior architect Danny Venlet has made a name for himself with futuristic, free-spirited designs that explore new materials and often allude obliquely to vehicles, airplanes, and travel. “I like variety in my work,” says the Red Dot Award winner, who was born in Australia to Dutch parents and lives and works in Dansaert, a Flemish neighborhood of downtown Brussels that has increasingly become home to a design district in recent years. Dating back to the late 19th century, his four-story brick-and-steel residence offers a stark contrast to his forward-looking work. The building, which is located in the capital city’s quarter of béguinages, once belonged to the Hospice St-Jean and is…

PROJECT Bonnén Residence LOCATION New York, New York “My father-in-law always says that you can make any place look good with a coat of white paint and good art,” says Jasmi Bonnén. She and her husband, Peter, took that advice to heart when they furnished their Tribeca loft, which they moved into in January. The couple and their two sons, 7 and 11, migrated to New York City from Copenhagen so that Peter could bring Muuto, the furniture company he cofounded with Kristian Byrge in 2006, to a wider audience. When the company was started 10 years ago, Scandinavian brands and consumers cared only about classics by storied names from the past like Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner. “No one wanted to manufacture new things,” Peter says. The partners felt…

LETTERS I recall that back in 2000 you posted a Fruit Bowl Manifesto. Reading your April 2016 issue, on page 64, there we have it: a fruit bowl. They are not there often, but it seems some of your homeowners do eat fruit. Another thing I enjoy seeing in Dwell is that every issue has at least one Eames chair. I wanted to say thank you for all the years of reading.

Project Ibirapuera Apartment Architect FCstudio Location São Paulo, Brazil When a husband and wife from São Paulo, Brazil, were looking for a new residence in their hometown, they articulated a big wish—to find a spacious apartment in which they could comfortably live, in a calm neighborhood with small houses and quiet streets. Fortunately, they found something that satisfied all of those requirements, and much more, in a property located near one of the most iconic spaces in the country: Ibirapuera Park, designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer and landscape designer Otávio Augusto Teixeira Mendes in commemoration of the city’s 400th anniversary, in 1954. The best feature, though, is one they hadn’t anticipated. Overlooking Ibirapuera, the apartment boasts one of the best views of the park imaginable, and at a distance that…

Los Angeles is a design lover’s cornucopia. From the Theme Building at LAX to the Eames House perched near the coast, its bumper crop of legendary architecture and homes makes it preeminent among American design hubs. This rich backdrop yields a tremendous creative energy, one that we look forward to revisiting each June when we arrive to host our three-day showcase of ideas that are shaping the modern design world. Now in its second decade, Dwell on Design Los Angeles returned this year to convene a dialogue about the power of design to make our lives simpler, easier, safer, and more sustainable. It’s a conversation we heard onstage among experts, but also from attendees on the show floor and after hours—a neverending exchange that we feel is at its finest…

Jens’s furniture is the bond that ties my family together. We hold my grandfather’s pieces dear to our hearts. Most of the family heirlooms are located in Connecticut and on Block Island, where parts of our family have lived since Jens built his famous prefab there in 1967, which was featured on the cover of Life at the time. Another batch is scattered around San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Denver, Portland, and other places where his 11 grandchildren reside. The furniture unites us. Twenty or so years ago, when Jens and Henny, his second wife, moved into a smaller home, they didn’t have the space to take everything with them, so they gifted pieces to each of the four children. Over the years, every member of the next generation was…

Project Pinch-Bannon Residence Designer Pinch Location Charmeneuil, France “This house’s materiality is the biggest reflection of our design work,” says Russell Pinch, one half of the London-based furniture team Pinch. “The things we have here are very natural and unpolished.” The house he’s talking about is not the home he shares with his wife and creative partner, Oona Bannon, in Brixton. It’s their vacation retreat in Charente-Maritime, France. “When we’re here, there’s a need to take away layers of complication and bring everything back to instinctive living,” Oona says. The home is an idyllic escape filled with the couple’s designs, including early prototypes from the Pinch collections. Two ethereal Soren pendants—constructed of slim pieces of copper wrapped in banana fiber and linen—hang from the living room ceiling, adding a rustic,…

PROJECT Lyons-Brill Town House ARCHITECT OF RECORD Philip Toscano Architects DESIGNER Lyons Studio LOCATION Brooklyn, New York When interior designer Merrill Lyons and Charles Brill, a cofounder of lighting design company Rich Brilliant Willing (RBW), purchased a derelict 1901 threestory brownstone in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2014, they came into the property well rehearsed in the art of renovating a home. Both graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design, they had bought and gutted a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan in 2009, two years after they met. “When I renovated in the East Village, it brought out something in me,” says Lyons, a former athletic footwear designer who at the time had recently left a job at Lacoste. Fortunately, the transition allowed her to discover what may be…

Industry and craft may be uncommon bedfellows, but for designer Ben Klebba, a second-generation woodworker who runs his four-person workshop, Phloem Studio, out of Portland, Oregon, the two aren’t mutually exclusive. To produce the Portland Chair for Thos. Moser last fall, Klebba bridged the gap with the Auburn, Maine–based company’s “mind-blowing” facilities. The handcrafted, Shaker-influenced design carries Klebba’s signature exposed joinery—as well as tapered elliptical legs, a subtle and tricky detail greatly facilitated by a five-axis CNC mill. “Craft is a verb, a way to realize,” muses Adam Rogers, director of design and product development at Thos. Moser. “Technology just helps those ideas get better.”…
