exclusive interview: architect craig steely
DESCRIPTION
We discovered architect Craig Steely a few months ago, and even mentioned him in a post last month here on the 2Modern blog. One post just couldn't contain all the love we have for this creative guy, though. More than just a "modern" architect, Craig's designs are part of what's amazing about the modern design movement: they're tackling design issues in new and unique ways, and doing so in the most aesthetically-pleasing way. His structures approach the landscape with a very interesting philosophy, and his designs are just cool and fun. Versatility and the ability to marry his style with those of a client are paramount, and make for a portfolio that is bursting at the seams with all different types and styles of architecture. Make no mistake, Craig Steely is a modern architect, but his ability to listen to clients' needs, situate structures in varied landscapes and integrate new and surprising materials makes him more like an ambassador of how modern design should be everywhere. We sat down with Craig over Skype to discuss his background (like getting to study art and design in Florence, Italy), how he primarily designs in two very different environment types (Hawaii and California) and what his definition of modern design is.TRANSCRIPT
