Having celebrated his 30th year as a licensed architect in 2022, Mac has also long been inspired by the buildings of historically world-renowned architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Eero Saarinen.

“Homes built today are too large. We need way less than we think we do, and my mission is to at least have that conversation,” Egozi said. “It is easy to design large where the premium of space is not considered. Efficient design, compact and well organized, is more difficult. We need to learn to live with less.”

Robert travels the world with his clients and on their behalf, acquiring just the right furnishings, finishes, and works of art for each installation. A true aesthete, he loves to learn about the creative process of artists and artisans, appreciating so deeply their methods and motivations.

The first same-sex wedding we planned, before it became legal, emboldened us to stand alongside those fighting for equality. We encourage each couple to forego tradition for tradition’s sake and make their wedding something original; whether it’s processing to the theme from The Golden Girls, holding a 300-person plated dinner, or reciting vows in an old warehouse.

The sunroom is illuminated by a rotunda of arched windows with doors that welcome guests into a casual yet refined indoor/outdoor experience. The modern metal chandelier paired with traditional furnishings creates a beautiful juxtaposition.

My rooms appear very maximalist at first blush, however, they have limited, edited furnishings and simple styling achieving a classic and timeless tone. I chose blue tones throughout this project, but ones that were layered in terms of shading and aesthetic. Even the slightest tonal contrast can be impactful in any space.

I had the good fortune of growing up in the South Pacific, a lush, tropical landscape dotted with simple, honest, authentic structures. It’s interesting the way our memories are connected with a sense of place formed by the natural and built landscapes around us. Many of my childhood memories are rooted in experiences of simple structures: concrete block houses, Quonset huts, chicken coops. Even today I’m moved by their simplicity. Beautiful in form, like a Richard Serra or Donald Judd sculpture, these structures are the most basic expressions of shelter.

While they emerged in different eras and were shaped by different philosophies and guiding principles, modern and classical architectural styles are nonetheless complementary and, when applied properly, can be combined to create timeless, one-of-a-kind structures. It’s a philosophy that has long guided the work of Daniel Kahan, a principal at Smith and Moore Architects Inc.
