Q: Travel
-- Interior Design, 7/1/2008
It’s the season to get away from it all. Or not. We asked designers, “What are your travel destinations for the summer?”“My brother-in-law’s four-day wedding with a 1950’s Vegas theme. My wife and I are looking forward to the stunning location in Laguna Beach, California, the beautiful arts and crafts–inspired interiors of the Montage Resort & Spa, and having a babysitter along for our 5-year-old daughter.” —Michael Suomi of Stonehill & Taylor Architects
“Athens, the Greek island of Santorini, and Istanbul for 10 days to celebrate my 50th. One of my ancestors was kidnapped by corsairs in the 18th century, then given to an Ottoman sultan. She’s buried in Istanbul. I’ll certainly take a picture at her mausoleum.” —Nestor Santa-Cruz of Gensler
“East Hampton, Connecticut, where my husband and I just bought our first house. We’re excited to move, paint, hang, arrange, and buy stuff. Then we plan to rescue two sweet dogs and settle into our forever home.” —Monika Avery of the S/L/A/M Collaborative
“Mount Sinai hospital in New York. I’m due to give birth to my third child, so I’ll begin my holiday there—and end it in a sleep-deprived stupor.” —Alexa Hampton of Mark Hampton
“My favorite place, Peter Zumthor’s Therme Vals spa in the Swiss Alps. I go at least once a year to rest, recharge, get inspired, and breathe the mountain air." —D.B. Kim of Sheraton Design
