Carter & Company crafted a confection of a home office for the woman of the house, complete with lacquered painting by Stephen Barton Painting, a slender desk overlooking the city, meaningful accents and art, and custom soft furnishings appointed by Eliot Wright Workroom. Town & Country The modern art selections, chosen in collaboration with the clients’ daughter, who is an art entrepreneur and has the benefit of knowing the clients better than anyone else, give the unit much of the soul Carter was after. “The space is begging—I mean, it won’t even work—unless you have wonderful art in it,” says Carter, so the team animated the space with modern art from Boston galleries, such as Lanoue Gallery and Beacon Gallery, and included showstopping pieces like Jeremy Holms’ infinite wood ribbon installation in the living room and an exuberant turquoise abstract by Aja Johnson in the office above. For the lighting, finishes and furnishings, the homeowners joined Carter for a day in New York, scouring the wares of two design centers. A pair of bespoke semicircular sofas, a custom burled wood John Boone table, and a dazzling light fixture comprised of 90 glass dewdrops suspended by barely-there cables were among the selections. That day made a world of difference. Says Carter, “because you’re in this glass bubble, everything has to be special.” Overall, the home’s aesthetic has a sense of luxury that is derived from nature. Quartz sconces, rich woods and even geode accessories speak to the clients’ spiritual side and mindfulness. Though it would have been easy to go with the cool grays that are so pervasive at the moment, instead, the client embraced warmer tones, beautiful bisques, shimmering topaz hues, both smoky and blue, that coalesce into an inviting, zen-like cocoon. This is, after all, their space, their moment. So while The Lodge is intended to be a “simpler, non-digital escape” and a time capsule, “One Dalton is about embracing now as hard as you can,” says Carter. It’s not afraid of it. “It’s celebrating now.” Text: Sandy Giardi Photography: Warren Patterson 20 bostondesignguide.com
