The history of modern architecture is dotted with rocks. Albert Frey, Oscar Niemeyer, John Lautner—these legends and more have all thrilled to the constraints of igneous obstacles, embracing existing land masses as defining elements of their interiors. Continuing in this tectonic tradition is Christian Wassmann, a Swiss-born talent at the epicenter of New York’s art and design scenes.
