p2an, you go again, having saved everybody from luigi moretti ;-)
(the original luigi moretti post was villa saracena, then villa califfa, accademia di scherma, last one mixed use at corso italia 02 milan. I was ready to post the watergate complex in DC)

Ohhh is it Claudio Silverstrin? - I'm just throwing it out there, has the same aesthetic of much of his interiors. But i haven't checked his website

liechtenstein?

i was thinking luxembourg but looking out the window in the second picture, it does look like liechtenstein...and the work does look suspiciously swiss...yet, my search on liechtenstein architects has led me nowhere...

Jan 3, 08 5:41 pm  ·

yeah, i was thinking the same... it's most likely a GR or vorarlberg architect...

Jan 3, 08 5:49 pm  ·

ok, simples you were getting there - i'll reveal it as i don't think anyone will get it.
it is from luxembourg, the office is
steinmetz de meyer
and the project is an apartment and veterinary practice.

someone else should put one up..

also, isn't the son of wilfrid + katerina steib, of basel?

Jan 4, 08 2:34 pm  ·

the project you posted is by the son, Jakob Steib of "Gmür & Steib" Wilfried and Katharina Steib's office is in basel, if it is still running.
i could have got this wrong though.

i posted on Thread Central inviting archinectors to post a new challenge here...i am afraid "name that architect and building" is starting to run off gas... - everyone is busy complaining about politics on archinect i guess!

monday morning bump.

trying to keep the game alive...hopefully this one isn't too difficult. i have a few hints ready if needed...

is this that same fla guy who you've posted before but whose name i can never remember? william martin? morgan?

Jan 7, 08 9:40 am  ·

no, not william morgan, and although one of these houses is located in florida, the architect is based in new york.

more hints!

the architect is a long time Yale professor, and a graduate of RISD, who also attended CUNY for an urban design degree.

the architect also designed an almost-complete nyc condo bldg, one of the city's many recent and decent developer-client projects.


more hints to come if these aren't enough...

i'm tired of being stumped and feeling stupid; I thought I knew architects but you guys are putting me to shame. The only way I can think to uplift my feelings is an unsactioned post - yeah baby
