Founded in 1998 in Los Angeles, GRAFT is an international architectural firm with branch offices in Berlin and Beijing. The firm is renowned for its experimental design practice and futuristic design vocabulary. This publication documents projects in the residential realm – whether permanent or temporary, or for holiday or work.
"This book of hotels and residential projects, built across the globe, deals with investigations into hospitality and explorations into its architectural expression. In the 21st century, the domestic environment is no longer to be seen as some mechanical, functionalistic machine, but it now relates to global memory. GRAFT uses architecture as a dynamic way forward and as an exploration of creativity, rather than creating finished products. Their designs for hybrid and highly flexible living spaces give context for an expression of pluralism and openness.
The content of this book offers an impressive array of hospitality works, both interior and exterior. They “test” the possibilities of architecture and bring it to a new and exciting realm." - Daniel Libeskind
