Opening the door into the fall season, here are six entryways that caught my eye this month for their innovative design, striking materials, and creative use of space, along with links to where you can see the entire projects online.
Above, as featured in Cottages & Gardens, designer Glenn Gissler fashioned a double-height entryway for comedic impresario Caroline Hirsch, in Watermill, New York. The mix of warm and cool neutrals echoes the sand and sea on the East End of Long Island.
Left: Featured in Elle Decor, Dublin-based designer Róisín Lafferty’s transformation of a 19th-century villa on Ireland’s east coast celebrates the dramatic Irish landscape with a seamless blend of historic and modern details. Right: In Architectural Digest, Studio Valle de Valle’s thorough renovation of one of Toronto’s oldest Italianate houses reimagines the landmark structure. The transformation showcases textured, subtly elegant interiors and advances the firm’s distinct narrative.
Left: Drawing inspiration from mid-century modern aesthetics, contemporary design elements, and Miami’s distinctive Art Deco legacy, Olga Malyev of Malyev / Schafer designed an airy, sunlit environment that embodies the city’s exuberance. Featured in Wallpaper Magazine. Right: The original green-and-gold moulding around the front door and its pediment is original to this mid-century modern gem on Lake Como’s shores. It was designed by Carlo Tremolada in the 1950s and is featured in The World of Interiors.
The art-filled Palm Beach home of film legend Sylvester Stallone, featured in Veranda, is the only property in the area that has a private beach. Martin Lawrence Bullard outfitted the entry with works by Fernando Botero, Bridget Riley, and Joyce Pensato.
