The work of Selldorf Architects is known for its clarity of
distribution, elegant proportions, deliberate rendering of
light, and integrity of structure. This monograph, the first
published on the firm, concentrates on twenty major projects
from institutional, commercial, high-end retail,
residential, and art-related spaces. Projects featured
include the acclaimed Neue Galerie New York: Museum for
German and Austrian Art; Hauser & Wirth Gallery, London, a
converted Sir Edwin Lutyens bank; the recently opened
Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York; the Abercrombie & Fitch
flagship store, a popular tourist destination on New York's
Fifth Avenue; the twenty-story luxury condominium building
200 Eleventh Avenue, in Manhattan's Chelsea arts district,
which has a car elevator that allows residents to park
outside their front doors and is opening this fall; Pika
House, a mountain residence in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado;
and the relaunch of Vica, a design line of furniture,
lighting fixtures, and hardware. The book's insightful
essay by British design consultant, curator, and writer Jane
Withers captures the essence of Selldorf's philosophy and
aesthetic, complemented by beautiful color images—by
internationally known photographers—throughout.
