We’ve rounded up some of our favorite designers and architects along with projects we can’t stop thinking about. For a little more inspiration, check out this article from Architect News.
Sir David Adjaye OBE, Adjaye Associates
Sir David Adjaye’s belief about the role of architecture was borne out of a childhood experience - an acknowledgement that architecture could make a difference, and desire and ability to make that change. According to the architect: “architecture is ‘a social act’ — it’s about constructing buildings that acknowledge and understand their histories, whilst creating something entirely new, in order to serve communities into their futures.”
Farshid Moussavi, Farshid Moussavi Architecture
Accolades and awards abound for Farshid Moussavi’s eponymous firm, but one favorite has to be the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland for its stark elegance.
Elicyon
Charu Gandhi, founder of Elicyon, “ “We don’t have a ‘look’ as a studio, which is actually one of our strengths, and personally something I’m proud of, because it means we’re very much led by the client’s brief” – by the concentrated, intentional effort her firm puts into learning and knowing each client.
Albion Nord
Every design we’ve seen from Albion Nord echoes the words that welcome you to their website: “There are many things that make a space beautiful. Balance and proportion. A sense of sympathy with local history and architecture. But we believe the most beautiful spaces are those with soul.”
Stephanie Barba Mendoza
We came across this article in ArchDigest and fell in love with so many of the spaces - the showcase is called “Wow!house” for a reason - especially the rich color and textures in the study (@StephanieBarbaMendoza) and possibly the chicest bathroom we’ve ever seen (@2lgstudio/@houseofrohl)
Veere Grenney
For some of the most beautiful (and sometimes unexpected) color combinations, we find inspiration in projects from UK-based Veere Grenney (like this one in @AD).
Rose Uniacke
As we return to London, we can’t help but recall the fantastic female art dealers we exhibit alongside. Harper’s Bazaar curated this exceptional list of who you could find at Masterpiece a few years ago.
