Ted studied Architecture at the University of Virginia, under the tutelage of William McDonough, the creator of cradle to cradle. It was there he developed the commitment to sustainable design and architecture.
He used that knowledge at the office of Richard Meier in Los Angeles, working on the Getty Center, at McCarthy building condos at Mission Bay in San Francisco, and working at Lennar, the country’s leading home builder. While at the Kor Group, building Kelly Wearstler designed projects, he developed the appreciation of tangible materiality in interior design. This shows in the creation of his own brand of apartments, the York House. When he travels he searches for stunning visual pieces, while also looking for new artists and new production methods. At the same time he uses new technologies to further enhance what a home can do.
Ted lives in Los Angeles, CA in a hyper contemporary house inspired by Egyptian Architecture.
It was designed with the purpose of housing and protecting a collection of art. The visuals from inside the house provide a calm sanctuary within a hectic city. It is, by design, a place of wellness.
We believe an object should be a beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and ethically crafted artistic piece that helps create a visual environment that strengthens the soul and mind of the occupant.
