William Sofield is considered one of the most thoughtful talents of his generation. A Modernist by temperament and a Historicist by training, Sofield believes that design must live as well as it looks. His work is characterized by a holistic approach to design that encompasses the requirements of living and a response to locale. Materials and
architectural details take their cue from the context of the project at hand, with careful consideration for function and a client’s individual personality and needs.
In 1983, Mr. Sofield received his degree in Architecture and Urban Planning from Princeton University, following an academic focus on Art History and European Cultural Studies. He was later honored as a recipient of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for Interior Design in 2010. He founded Studio Sofield in 1996 with the expressed goal of integrating multiple design disciplines. His body of work encompasses both residential and commercial projects, with clients as varied as Brice and Helen Marden, Tom Ford, Harry Winston, Belstaff, Salvatore Ferragamo, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, YSL, Coach, Violet Grey, The SoHo Grand Hotel, David Barton Gyms, The Brodsky Organization and Kohler Interiors.
