"Back to the 2014 AD100 List\n\nTaryn Christoff and Martin Finio, the couple behind this inventive, aesthetically agile New York City firm, are skilled composers working in a modernist mode\u2014as capable of intimate lyrical gestures as they are of high- impact operatic ones and always attuned to what the context calls for. Finio spent nearly a decade in the office of Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, and that celebrated husband-and-wife team's ethos is echoed in Christoff:Finio's approach. \"Our design philosophy is one of simplicity, clarity, and restraint,\" Finio says. \"We're interested in making the familiar seem unfamiliar.\" Their latest projects range from a sleekly industrial Manhattan store for fashion designer Steven Alan to a boldly geometric cantilevered home\u2014created for an art-collecting family\u2014that seems to hover above the grassy dunes of Long Island. The firm has also earned a reputation for sensitive renovations, including its recent update to the interiors of the Brooklyn Historical Society's landmark 1880s building. christofffinio.com\n\nMeet the other architects and designers on the 2014 AD100 list."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
