I never had a \u201ceureka\u201d moment of deciding to be an architect\u2014I just had a feeling of being propelled towards it. I remember talking to an architect at a young age who said, \u201cYou should only become an architect if there is absolutely nothing else you can imagine doing.\u201d I thought, \u201cWell, okay&#8230;that&#8217;s me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a daily ritual?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy office is a 7-minute walk from my home. I love it\u2014it clears my mind, and I start forming my to-do list. I&#8217;ve gotten into the habit of using my phone to record voice memos while walking. The simple process of recording that list makes me feel more relaxed&#8230;like the tasks are half done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What de-stresses you these days?<\/strong><br \/>\nMagazines. One of my favorite aspects of traveling was buying a giant pile of magazines at the airport. We&#8217;re obviously not traveling right now, but I still love to flip through as many as I can get my hands on\u2014design, fashion, cooking, news, celebrity tabloids, etc. There&#8217;s a rhythm to it that feels meditative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s been inspiring you lately?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy students. The last couple of years, I&#8217;ve taught a design survey for first-year students in the Barnard and Columbia College Architecture Department. It&#8217;s not a studio, per se, but there are always a couple of creative workshop projects. The students\u2019 enthusiasm and outside-of-the-box ideas are inspiring and contagious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about a project you\u2019re excited about right now.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe&#8217;re really excited to start renovations on a large property in Gallatin, New York with sweeping views to Stissing Mountain. For a long time, our work was heavily NYC focused on historic brownstone renovations and apartment combinations. It&#8217;s fun to be working outside of the city on free-standing homes with landscapes. We&#8217;ve been trying to develop a more extensive portfolio in the Hudson Valley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your guilty pleasure?<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter the kids are asleep&#8230;an evening whiskey. I like all of those Japanese whiskeys but lately I&#8217;ve loved Kavalan, a relatively new brand of single malt from Taiwan.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1188 gallery-columns-4
