"In residential projects, it's important for everyone to be on the same page and put their egos aside," he said. "It's not who's been published the most or has more accolades. It's about getting in there and creating the story of what this house is going to be about. That's when a house goes from being good to being great." What: Illustrated talk and book signing with landscape architect Brian Sawyer and architect John Berson, introduced by Chesie Breen, at the new Blue Print showroom. Takeaway: Since launching their New York City firm, Sawyer | Berson, in 1999, the power duo's holistic design approach has earned countless accolades, including the 2023 McKim, Mead & White award for a fashionable new ballroom at The Pierre hotel. The starry roster of clients includes record producer Mark Ronson, Julianne Moore, Bette Midler, and Vera Wang.
