The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app's video series Great Rooms invites interior designers to speak about their favorite rooms and to explain what makes these spaces such exceptional examples of design.
In this second episode, Jamie Drake of reveals the complex design considerations behind a total renovation of a historic London townhouse, a Grade II listed building dubbed "London Calling" in the firm's new book BOLD: The Interiors of Drake/Anderson. From historic murals — reputed to be by Sir James Thornhill — to oddly shaped rooms that presented unique renovation challenges, and decorated with eclectic collections of contemporary artworks and fine furniture, this is a project with a dazzling array of colors and materials sure to entice fans of Drake/Anderson's work.
Jamie Drake is the co-principal with Caleb Anderson of , the New York-based firm well-known for their dynamic eclecticism whose work forges a perfect balance between timelessness and today.
Drake and Anderson bring their respective takes on glamour, curation, and elegance to bear in a range of luxurious residential and commercial projects. Drake is widely regarded as one of the first designers to popularize Modernism in interior design, beginning in the 1980s. He is known for his fearless approach to color as well as his fashion-conscious sensibility. Anderson is lauded for his layered approach to interiors and the confidence with which he juxtaposes a variety of historic periods from the design continuum.
Drake and Anderson have completed elegant, polished interiors in many of Manhattan’s “it” buildings—including One57, 70 Vestry, 520 Park, and Herzog & de Meuron’s 56 Leonard—as well as in sprawling Hamptons estates, luxurious Malibu beach houses, stately London townhouses, and lush retreats from Bermuda to the Middle East and around the world.
Individually and as a team, Drake and Anderson have achieved the highest awards and accolades in the industry, including the prestigious Elle Decor A-List, the Architectural Digest AD100 list, Interior Design magazine’s Hall of Fame, House Beautiful’s Master Class and Next Wave, and many more.
