Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson of Drake/Anderson delight in
creating imaginative rooms that emphasise the precious alongside
the everyday. This book documents the firm s fearless, eclectic,
and deeply informed modernist sensibility in thirteen remarkable
residences. The two expand on their point of view in a series of
themed essays that illuminate the hallmarks of their bold style:
Confident, Sexy, Witty, and Precious. The projects span the world
from London to Arizona and New York State (Long Island and Columbia
County), in addition to the firm s Manhattan work (uptown, midtown,
and downtown, East Side and West). For an international couple s
pied-a-ciel on Billionaire s Row, the pair devised a
platinum-and-pearl backdrop for spaces filled with a provocative
potpourri of materials wood, lacquer, stone, gypsum, glass, velvet,
leather, mirror, and bronze. With a sensitive roof-to-slab
renovation of a glass house in upstate New York, the two
refashioned a private oasis where contemporary pieces, many with
references to nature, mix with custom items of the firm s design
and an occasional element of midcentury modern. In a full-floor
Upper East Side residence in a twenty-first-century building, they
wove decorative threads of jewel tones, linear and curved forms,
metals, lacquers, stones, sensuous fabrics, and works of art into
an extremely glamorous yet family-friendly narrative. With a full
renovation of a 1910 estate on Long Island, the duo brought a
Georgian brick manse fully into the world of today by amalgamating
the fine antiques the owners passionately love with modern and
contemporary art. The work of Drake/Anderson harkens to the finest
decorators of yesterday, while being firmly focused on the design
sensibilities of today and the future.
