Buzzy Architecture Firm Charlap Hyman & Herreo Reimagines an Iconic Building on Vitra’s Campus in Germany
"VitraHaus visitors seeking fully realized interior inspiration can head to the top floor where renowned designers and architects, including India Mahdavi and Raw Edges, periodically transform its loft. Most recently, buzzy firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero, whose wildly imaginative work ranges from stores to opera sets to art-filled residences, designed a fully-transportive and uniquely personal space. “At the beginning of the process, Vitra was encouraging us to create a character to design the space for, so we decided on a film director,” Adam Charlap Hyman tells Galerie. The brief was perfect for the Los Angeles and New York-based interior architects whose fully integrated approach is guided by a deep passion for movies and film sets. 'Heightened by quarantine, we found that the space was such a mirror of Andre’s [Herrero] and my interests that it became a meditation on what it means to live in a home alone and find pleasure in solitude. It became less about the director and more about being our dream house.'
