Architextual provides thoughtful, personalized design services to meet our clients' unique needs, helping to maximize their return on investment and quality of life. We believe that successful architecture is not the result of an architectural imposition on a site, but the result of a process involving analysis and collaboration. For us each project has a unique text, and tells a unique story. It starts with who our clients are and their goals for the project, and includes site conditions and inherent characteristics of the property, contextual, regional and historical consideradions. Our role is to mold that base text into a new story that transforms the various project constraints into a coherent whole.

Chad and Lara Hogan founded Chandler Farms in 2014 after almost ten years of collaboration. Though they have very different backgrounds (Chad is an artist, designer and creative having made album covers for rappers such as Biggie Smalls and P Diddy and Lara is a buzz marketing expert having worked her way up in NYC through the PR agency world), their differences make them a strong duo, a bit of yin and yang. The two first met in 2006 at Glaceau (makers of vitaminwater and smartwater) where Lara was the PR Director and Chad was the Creative Director. In their parallel roles they collaborated to create events (Sundance, NBA All Star, etc.), marketing programs (vitaminwater’s first Facebook promo) and creative campaigns (50 cent’s Formula 50, Steve Nash viral video, etc.) for the brands. Years after Lara left the company, the two continued taking on creative projects as a team. Eventually the two best friends got engaged and that ultimate collaboration brought their relationship to a deeper level when they bought, gutted and co-designed their dream home in Topanga Canyon. The Chandler Farms team is a creative duo who take on projects that align with their aesthetic and vision and range from residential to commercial to corporate branding. All of their projects allow them to create, design, strategize and build brands, spaces and ideas.

Ronan Bouroullec (born 1971) and Erwan Bouroullec (born 1976) have been working together for some ten years. Their collaboration is a permanent dialogue nourished by their differing personalities and shared perfectionism. In 1997 they presented their “Disintegrated Kitchen” at the Salon du Meuble in Paris and were spotted by Giulio Cappellini, who gave them their first industrial design projects, notably the Lit clos (Closed Bed) and Spring Chair. In 2000, Issey Miyake asked them to design a space for his new collection of A-Poc clothes in Paris. Then came the decisive meeting with Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of Vitra, which resulted in their conception of a new kind of office system, Joyn, in 2002. This was the beginning of a special partnership which has borne fruit in numerous projects, including Algues, the Alcove Sofa, the Worknest and the Slow Chair. Since 2004, the Bouroullecs have also been working with Magis, for whom they have designed two complete furniture collections, Striped and Steelwood. Finally, they have worked on several types of textile wall systems, such as the North Tiles, in close collaboration with the Kvadrat brand, for whom they designed a new Stockholm showroom in 2006.

A genuine, fully integrated lifestyle brand stemming from their shared aesthetic sensibilities, it would encompass architectural projects and interiors as well as impeccably crafted furniture, lifestyle objects and personal accessories. BassamFellows’ pioneering Craftsman Modern aesthetic, which marries architectural authority with a minimal-artisanal philosophy, was introduced with the debut of the iconic BassamFellows Tractor Stool at the 2003 Salone del Mobile in Milan. From its inception, the company has focused on building relationships with some of the world’s leading craftspeople, whilst forging innovative and intelligent collaborations across the worlds of architecture, branding and design. The BassamFellows Journal was launched to celebrate this lifestyle vision, chronicling everything from new architecture to brand collaborations. Timely and highly curated, yet fundamentally anti-disposable in its aesthetic, the BassamFellows Journal will feature world class editorial content on inspirational lifestyle and design subjects as well as features on BassamFellows projects.
