Gwathmey_Siegel_&_Associates
Gwathmey Siegel Kaufman & Associates Architects LLC (formerly Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects) is a New York City-based architectural firm founded in 1967 by architects Charles Gwathmey and Robert Siegel.
The firm's work ranges from art and educational facilities and major corporate buildings to furniture systems and decorative art objects.[1] Critics view Gwathmey Siegel's work as the stylistic successors of the formal modernism of Swiss architect Le Corbusier.[2] The firm is especially well known for its residential architecture[3][4] having designed houses for such famous clients as Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Ronald Lauder.[2] The architecture critic, Paul Goldberger, writing in 2005, described their houses as "expertly crafted, staggeringly expensive, and not particularly avant-garde."[5]
