Stephanie Goto is the head of is her eponymous design studio, which creates highly refined, integrated projects with a foundation in the clarity of space, detail and experience. Since its founding in 2004, the firm has built a holistic approach between architecture, art, culture, food, and branding. Named one of Architectural Digest’s “Top Ten Firms to Watch” in 2015, Goto’s projects span cultural, residential, commercial, hospitality, branding and exhibition design. Commissions include the Calder Foundation’s Project Space, The Caesarstone Experience Center in Georgia, the home of Chef Daniel Boulud and gallery, exhibition design and experiences for Hauser & Wirth and Pace Gallery in New York and California.
Stephanie began gravitating toward her eventual vocation when she was around 10 years old. “I was always rearranging the furniture in my room and doing photo shoots and creating scenarios of the space,” she said in a recent interview. “That grew into an interest in art and architecture history. All my high school history papers were on the architecture of Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. Everything was focused on the idea of how building affects civilization, how it evolves, how it affects people.”
