Q + A

BD: What’s on your boards?
BD: That’s a lot of international work. What are the best and worst parts of taking on such commissions?
That led Beers to a stint with Brazil’s world-famous architect, Oscar Niemeyer, followed by a job with the legendary I.M. Pei in New York. Then, in 1986, Beers launched the New York-based rm bearing his name. Since then, he’s worked on a variety of high-pro le projects, including
Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau, The Cove Atlantis, Paradise Island, The Bahamas and the Atlantis Dubai, New York’s Dylan Hotel and, most recently, the 40/40 Club, also in the Big Apple. Here Beers talks about his fearless approach to both design and charting a career path.
I love it; I’m not sure there is a worst part! One of my roles is designing for people, and to learn about different cultures and people for my work is just wonderful. As an architect and designer, it doesn’t get better than that. Working internationally and traveling enlightens me and gives me a richer knowledge base. That said, travel can wear on you. I wish planes were faster. I want to be teleported, like in Star Trek.

Beers: We’re working on a new hotel in Macau. It’ll be inspired by the belle epoque period, yet also be thoroughly modern to create a balance of intimacy and spectacle. We’ve also been commissioned to design a new spa, guest rooms and public spaces for the Ritz-Carlton San Juan, Puerto Rico. And one of our newest projects is the Gloria Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, which will open in 2014. It’ll be intimate and luxurious, yet will include a glassbottomed pool for that touch of spectacle. The design also nods to the Brazilian love of nature with lush planted green walls.
