“'I really see what I’m doing as collage,' the 35-year-old South Orange, New Jersey, native says. 'We have to use things that exist and buildings that are given to us. And there are a lot of creative voices that get folded into any given project.' Those influences include the neo-liberty style of Gae Aulenti and the sensuality of Ward Bennett for the projects Charlap Hyman’s firm completed with SSENSE, Moda Operandi, and Aspen Art Museum, as well as countless private homes (for gallerists, publishers, and artists, among others).”
