Meet the architects behind The Studio at 90 North: Walter Aurell and Margaret Garcia.
They shared insights into their design process, the inspiration behind the space, and the key decisions that shaped it, with a Q&A session offering guests a chance to engage directly with the architects.
Walter has designed buildings throughout the Northeast, ranging in scale from college buildings at Simmons University, Harvard, Brown and MIT, to single-family homes. A significant number of his projects have focused on the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic structures.
Margaret grew up in Texas, where she earned her degrees in Industrial Engineering, Interior Design, and Architecture, and began her career designing the adaptive re-use of significant cultural, commercial and residential buildings in Dallas. After moving to New York City as a project architect with the Lee H. Skolnick Partnership, her portfolio grew to include townhouse renovations, environmental centers, children's museums and houses of worship.
