Back to the 2014 AD100 List

The first word William T. Georgis offers to describe his architecture-and-design practice is “celebratory.” For two decades he has been designing residences for high-octane clients—art collector and real-estate investor Aby Rosen among them—that are piquant shocks to the system. Georgis’s charismatic spaces marry bold artworks, gutsy furniture, punches of color, and head-turning accents, such as custom-made carpets that appear to be splashed with paint à la Jackson Pollock and mirrored walls that look shattered by gunshots. Small wonder he titled his recent monograph Make It Fabulous (The Monacelli Press). williamtgeorgiom
