Annabelle Selldorf Quotes

There isn’t any one material that’s mine. It all depends on the context. For example, I did a house that had the most exquisite marble applications. That sounds ostentatious, but it wasn’t, given the context. The color white I subscribe to extensively. I love thinking about color, but I often go with white Picture Quote #1

Architecture is about aging well, about precision and authenticity. There is much more to the success of a building than what you can see. I’m not suggesting that gestural architecture is always superficial, but solid reasoning has its place Picture Quote #1

So much of what makes a room great is how you enter and circulate through it, how it addresses the body Picture Quote #1

I make spaces that are calm rather than confrontational. I seek a certain kind of logic that allows you to move in space and perceive it as beautiful and rational. Clarity is a worthwhile quality Picture Quote #1
