As rigorous as it is sumptuous, the work of Roger Ferris + Partners
blends high style and modernist principles. This is the firm's
first monograph. From family houses to historic restorations,
hotels, and high-tech office spaces - the architectural firm of
Roger Ferris + Partners has pursued uncommonly diverse projects at
vastly different scales, all with an approach to design that
synthesizes imagination and logic. Whether a 1,500-square-foot
house on a narrow lot overlooking Long Island Sound, or the Royal
Bank of Scotland's US headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut - with
a six-story glazed atrium and a "courtyard in the sky" on the roof
of its two-story trading floor - a building that is "well conceived
and artfully executed, cannot help but be beautiful." Among Ferris'
major projects are a golf clubhouse that has turned a conservative
typology on its ear with bladelike forms inspired by a racing
engine turbine, and a partially sunken service entrance in which
impresario Robert Wilson has staged theatrical productions. A
design for a restaurant includes not only a central, glass-enclosed
kitchen elevated 18 inches above the floor, but an art installation
that periodically projects scrolling text on the dining room wall.
In every project, the fulfillment of the client's functional needs
is rendered in the most elemental and legible way, resulting in
both formal elegance and dramatic power.
