Looking through our design archives at the number of projects and the terrific clients we’ve enjoyed serving over the years, nearly four decades has added up to a body of work that we’re excited to share!

Trained as an architect, and drawn to the avant-garde, Paola Navone carved out a path for herself within high end modern design with a trademark style full of color, whimsy, art, craft, and cultural celebration.

A modernist who welcomed the emotional landscape into his architectural designs, Luis Barragán created modern homes as sanctuaries for communing with the self.

Designer and artist Ray Eames was instrumental in creating some of the mid-century modern styles and products adored and coveted by a post-World War II America, but in her time received almost no credit for her contributions.

Imposing and intimate, dangerous and beautiful, abstract and expressive, Richard Serra’s otherworldly steel sculptures, bent into gracefully curving shapes and modernist planes, stand in delicate balance, tilted against one another, or simply against the air, paused in movement by the forces of gravity.

As we continue to explore the aesthetic power of water in architecture, we look here at its use in our own modern designs.

From the Bauhaus era of architecture (1920s - 30s) on into the present day, the great modernist architects have often integrated water into their architectural designs.

Water has long been incorporated into the architectural design of cities and homes around the world, as both a necessity and sensory pleasure.

Oscar Niemeyer, the modernist architect who brought curves to concrete and a sense of sculpture to public design, famously worked until the end of his life, continuing to go into the office daily, well into his hundreds.

Oscar Niemeyer, modernist architect of the curved line, fled Brazil’s right wing military dictatorship in 1965, and set out on a self-imposed exile, which lasted nearly twenty years. During this time, he opened up an office on the Champs Élysées in Paris, and began taking international commissions.
