A modernist who draws extensively from traditional lexicons, Alexander Gorlin crafts soulful, sanctuary-like homes that emphasize comfort and light. In recent years the architect has spread his wings and tackled a variety of building types, designing affordable-housing projects and renovating Louis Kahn’s Temple Beth El in Chappaqua, New York. Current Collaboration: Teaming with musician Pharrell Williams on prefab housing in Detroit. Up Next: Homes in Los Angeles, Miami Beach, and Tuxedo Park, New York, and converting Eero Saarinen’s Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey, into a mixed-use complex. New York; gorlinarchitectom
