A bachelor client, for whom we have worked with on two urban residential projects, hired us to create a fun and hip ski retreat in Tahoe. A floor-to-ceiling cold-rolled steel fireplace, highlighted by artist Jihoon Choi’s “Pixel Deer”, dominates the principal room. Floor-to-ceiling stacked wood adjacent to the fireplace becomes a design element and hides the entertainment center. The seating area consists of a large leather sectional and a pair of 1960s swivel chairs by Thonet purchased by the client in Miami. Photography by Sharon Montrose and a mixed-media collage on a wood door created by Tim Weldon add a touch of whimsy. The dining area has a 7-foot recycled wood square table surrounded by classic Cassina Cab armchairs, able to accommodate up to 16 guests. The powder room features a live-edge floating shelf, a mirror Designed by Jacques Adnet and custom Union Square wallpaper by Crezana. The corridor leading to the bedrooms showcases 19th century albumen photographs of the Tahoe region. Each of five bedrooms was given its own personality: the burlap bedroom; the log bedroom; the gray bedroom; the antler bedroom; and the master, with a circular metal hanging chair overlooking the unobstructed view of the mountains. A large vintage “hotel” neon sign in the master bathroom adds nostalgia to the space. The perfect mountain retreat: a casual and inviting house to welcome the owner’s many guests.

Chef Kiko’s second restaurant in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon is located in the prestigious neighborhood of Principe Real. It opened in 2014 and is minutes away from Lisbon’s downtown and main tourism attractions. The concept grew out of Chef Kiko’s trip “eat the world” where Kiko and his wife literally went around the world to discover different cuisines and find inspiration for their life in the world of food. Before entering, one is struck by the eye-catching exterior doors and windows. They were inspired by M.C. Escher’s woodblock “sky and water” and are made of laser cut cold rolled steel. In the original design by Escher, fishes are presented at the base of the drawing and as they progress upward, they morph into birds. Old Portuguese fish markets where white “Castelo Branco” marble was traditionally used inspired the interior. The same white marble is used throughout the restaurant: A large round marble counter dominates the space and opens onto the kitchen where a marble tub, filled with ice, displays the catch of the day. The walls are covered in white tile and white marble is also used at the continuous blue and white cushioned banquette. The white tile and marble are a sharp contrast to the blue and white patterned hydraulic floor tiles. Suspended from the ceiling is a giant Octopus, specially created for the space by artist Joao Parrinha. The size and color of this sea creature creates a dramatic contrast to the cool blue and white color scheme and it quickly became the talk of Lisbon!
