On this week’s episode of Talk Shop, Ariel is joined by one of the nation's most beloved and leading experts on contemporary classical architecture, Gil Schafer. A member of Architectural Digest’s AD100, Gil’s work is often referred to as the pinnacle of traditional architecture in today’s time. With a Masters in Architecture from Yale, Gil studied under industry legends, and before founding his own firm, worked for several highly respected firms, including spending (nearly) a decade at Ferguson & Shamamian Architects. Gil founded G. P. Schafer Architect in 2002, which in 2023 was renamed Schafer Buccellato Architects. The firm’s passion for integrating landscape and interior decoration into the architecture of a project is a significant hallmark of their work — and as Gil says, what makes a great home isn’t its size, or its features necessarily – it’s being a place that you can feel at home in both the big and small moments of life. Gil’s recent book, “Home At Last: Enduring Design for the New American House,” is available now.
