Damon Lawrence

Founder
Studio Paolo Ferrari

Founder and CEO
Homage Hospitality

After cutting his teeth at Yabu
Pushelberg for 12 years, Ferrari
opened his namesake studio in
Toronto in 2016. His firm's notable
works include a residential tower
in Toronto with Frank Gehry and
Dubai nightclub Secret Room.
Recently, Ferrari translated his
sophisticated design sense in
Toronto cannabis dispensary
Alchemy, explored on page 068.

Lawrence got his start in
hospitality working the front desk
at the Donovan House Hotel in
Washington, DC, where he fell in
love with the industry. In 2016, he
founded Homage Hospitality with
a goal to elevate Black narratives
in the travel sector. Read more
about his mission as part of our
meaningful travel section on page
015, including his plans for a hotel
in Albany, Georgia.

Manuel Aires Mateus

Dagmar Stepanova

Founder
Aires Mateus

Founder
Formafatal

The Lisbon-based architect has
been practicing alongside his
brother, Francisco Aires Mateus,
since 1988. Of note is their emphasis
on irregular cutouts, including in
Portugal's contemporary Casa na
Terra. As seen on page 064, the
subterranean hideaway features
niches and skylights that immerse
guests in the lakeside landscape.

Known for her ambitious
interiors, the Czech architect
founded the award-winning
Formafatal six years ago. Her
recent work on the Coco Pods
at Art Villas Costa Rica, found
on page 023, awakened a love
for the culture and architecture
of Central and South America,
leading her to open a branch of
her studio there.
