PERSPECTIVES INTERVIEW

2. The dining room in
Danny Meyer's Marta
restaurant inside New
York's Martha Washington
hotel.

3. The Neue Galerie
New York was once the
circa-1914 Carrère &
Hastings building.
4. The Sims Municipal
Recycling facility perches
on a Brooklyn pier.

What enticed you to work on the Sims
Municipal Recycling facility in Brooklyn?
Is sustainability a big focus within your
practice?

3

Sims Recycling facility was a great opportunity
to apply our design ideas at an industrial scale,
[while] still making it a place for people. Learning
about recycling and sustainability was a very
important aspect of the project for us. Thinking
about the environment and learning to adapt
intelligent strategies for increased sustainability
are indispensable for all design professions, as we
have to respond to the consequences of climate
change with urgency.

Growing up you always imagined
yourself moving to Paris but instead
left Cologne for New York to study
architecture at Pratt Institute. Would
your design aesthetic have been
different had you stayed in France?

I do not think my design aesthetic would
be fundamentally different. Certainly I would
have had very different experiences in my
training and surely there would be traces of
Parisian chic but no, I think I would have
gravitated to many of the same choices that are
the signature of our work.

to how a house is sited, to where the views from
rooms are directed, to how spaces interact, and
how public and private are separate in ways that
are different from what I am used to.

loud, I also like fast over slow. It is important that
contradictions and tensions coexist in a balanced
and nuanced scene or else it gets very boring,
very quickly.

Your portfolio is global and each culture
has its own set of rules and customs.
What is a recent project that required
you to conform around a cultural
priority?

You've described yourself as '50 shades
of gray,' referencing your preference of
neutrality and restraint. How does that
apply to your personality and lifestyle
outside of design?

Your work is refined and serious,
however, you are known to have a
wicked sense of humor. How does that
play a role in your design process?

We worked on a residential project in Taipei and
in the course of design development, we learned
there are customs and expectations relative

There probably is some co-relation-generally
speaking-but then I can find differences
everywhere. While I might like quiet over

Because I am sometimes overly serious my
sense of humor helps me make light of things,
and it certainly helps me to not take myself too
seriously. hd
