About Stamberg Aferiat Architecture
Stamberg Aferiat Architecture is a New York-based studio with a broad portfolio of schools, museums, galleries, showrooms and private houses. Mixing the crisp steel-framed aesthetic of high American Modernism with color inspired by Matisse and Hockney, Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat have carved an individualistic niche in contemporary American design. They have long felt that the disappearance of color is a great loss to the built environment, with color bringing emotional resonance to people's lives. For this reason, Stamberg Aferiat have brought the colors of native wildflowers to The Saguaro and designed the hotel around the color and light of the surrounding landscape, making the space, inside and out, a joyful place to be. www.stambergaferiat.com
