The career of Charles Gwathmey started with a house, even before he was a licensed architect: in 1965 he realized a studio/house for his parents, painter Robert and photographer Rosalie Gwathmey, in Amagensett, NY, that won the Yale graduate wide recognition and even appeared as an example on his licensing exam. Gwathmey had spent the years after his graduation in 1962 first in Paris with Candilis Josic Woods and then in New York with George Nemeny Architects as well as Edward Larrabee Barnes until he went into partnership with Richard Henderson. In 1968 Robert Siegel joined the partnership that in 1970 became Gwathmey Siegel & Associates after the departure of Henderson.

For Gwathmey the house always remained the point of departure for all other building types and accordingly it also occupied a central position in his oeuvre, even though prestigious projects like the 1992 addition to Frank Lloyd Wright’s New York Guggenheim Museum or the Morgan Stanley Building also in New York added a whole different dimension to his firm’s commissions.

In 2000 Monacelli Press published „Gwathmey Siegel Houses“, a comprehensive monograph presenting 22 houses and residences realized between 1965 and 1993. What immediately strikes the eye is Gwathmey’s preference for basic geometric figures that he obviously shared with another architect of the „New York Five“, namely Richard Meier. But in contrast to the latter Gwathmey experimented with different materials, textures and thus colors that gave his designs a greater degree of variety. These characteristics can be studied in great detail in the book as each project is presented in extensive photo spreads as well as plans and sections, features that aren’t too common in large-size coffee table books like the present one undoubtedly is.

Gwathmey Siegel Architects is a New York City-based architectural firm founded in 1967 by architects Charles Gwathmey and Robert Siegel. The firm's work ranges from art and educational facilities and major corporate buildings to furniture systems and decorative art objects. Critics view Gwathmey Siegel's work as the stylistic successors of the formal modernism of Swiss architect Le Corbusier. The firm is especially well known for its residential architecture having designed houses for such famous clients as Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Ronald Lauder. The architecture critic, Paul Goldberger, writing in 2005, described their houses as "expertly crafted, staggeringly expensive, and not particularly avant-garde . . . .
