Michael Taylor dishes on the building that inspires him in Sharp Magazine’s Fall/Winter 2015 Issue by Peter Saltsman.

I created a facade containing large ‘channels’ of translucent glass, normally used on commercial buildings. Like the Maison de Verre, the facade glows. Inside, exposed metal columns and a blackened steel fireplace utilize industrial materials. For me, drawing inspiration from Chareau’s precedent-setting Maison de Verre, the ongoing search for innovation using unexpected materials is what creates great design.
