The young New York-based design partners Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat combine a devotion to modernist architecture with a passion for vibrant primary colors, sensuous materials, exuberant spaces, and classic modern furniture pieces. Their widely published projects range from apartments and offices in Manhattan and houses in the New York area to the Long Island Children's Museum, a line of furniture for Knoll, and the renovation of a well-known house designed by Richard Meier.
Highly influenced by the color and perspectival experiments of David Hockney, a friend and mentor, as well as by Matisse and surrealists such as Duchamp, Stamberg and Aferiat interpret the spirit of historical and vernacular styles with a deep sensitivity to clients' needs. Their renovation of a 200-year-old farmhouse with low ceilings, for example, accommodates a tall family and their large-scale art collection; while space carved within a Manhattan apartment allows seating for six to thirty dinner guests.
Their first monograph on Stamberg Aferiat showcases 18 buildings and projects with stunning color photography and color-enhanced plans and elevations. Among the projects shown are six houses on Long Island and New Jersey, six apartments and the architects' own loft in Manhattan, offices for an advertising agency in Manhattan, and additions to Richard Meier's Hoffman House in East Hampton and his Clifty Creek Elementary School in Columbus, Indiana.
