A career route for architecture surfaced Elizabeth Graziolo When he was accepted at the architecture program at Cooper Union in New York City. At that time, she was not sure what she wanted to do, yet her curriculum was determined at the institute stored within a few months. “After my first semester, everything clicked,” says Graziolo. “I started looking at the world differently, from new perspectives, and I loved it completely.”
After graduation, she joined the team at Cicognani Kalla, where An Kalla was an early and influential patron. Kalla helped shape the understanding of Graziolo as she moved to the actual world design from theory. As she respected her skills, Kalla’s guidance also prepared her what women experience in the profession.
Graziolo spent almost two decades in Peter Penawer Architects, where he worked on a wide range of townhouse reconstruction to residential development. Ready for his next challenge, he decided to enter the venture on his own and established Yellow house architect In 2020.
As the owner and leader of a firm, Graziolo tries to promote cooperation and create a place where staff members can independently share various points. With offices in Manhattan and Miami, the firm is known to revive landmark properties, unique elements to bring to light once again.
No matter that the city Graziolo is at any moment, he is ready to catch interesting things to increase its creative process. “I do not use a specific method; I mix it, “she notes. “I take a lot of pictures, doodles in my sketchbook, and assemble the objects or images that I find inspirational.”

1. sunset
This slide holds the intensive inspiration drawn from looking at a sunset – reminiscent of the ability to inform and elevate the design. The picture taken with my iPhone from my apartment, the setting surrounds the vibrant, dynamic colors of the sun. These natural colors became the foundation of a mood board, which recently guided a project. The warm, shining tone inspired the selection of a copper-scinned mirror of the beetris seer, while delicate raindrops on Windopen impressed the lie’s knot bubble chandelier’s choice. Finally, the liquidity and depth of the water reported to incorporate a harmonious interaction between nature and design, including Dorne’s fish-themed wallpaper.

I always find this picture inspiring on so many levels, from its innovation to material and end.

Alia Ali’s artwork serves as an intensive source of inspiration. This piece is an esoteric quality that invites endless interpretation. For me, it examines the interaction of the form and shape, presented in a fluid and dynamic context, leaving the viewer’s imagination to fill in the story.

4. Nature
We often take inspiration from nature. On the slide above, we took inspiration from several photographs of Central Park, which inspired the construction of a custom mural by Dean Barajar for 200 East Building.

5. Door nocors
I am absolutely thrilled with Door Nochers – they are a universal feature that is found in cultures, which often takes symbolic meaning. I love discovering their designs and imagining the stories or intentions behind them. This is especially from South America, with an elephant trunk, a design that I have not seen anywhere else. I think it reflects the desire of the homeowner for wealth and prosperity.
