Architecture
German-born, Manhattan-based architect Annabelle Selldorf shares art, design and culinary highlights in her adopted hometown.
It was an initial visit to New York City at the age of 18 that sealed the deal for a young Annabelle Selldorf. Taken by the “electrifying atmosphere that felt like a massive infusion of oxygen”, the future university student packed her bags in her native Cologne and headed for Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute to study architecture. That was the 1980s and she has called the city – uptown, downtown, SoHo, NoHo – home ever since. “It’s very different from other major European cities such as Paris and London,” explains Selldorf of the city that sometimes gets an abrasive rap. “There’s an openness and a jovial embrace that New Yorkers provide that is like nowhere else.”
