INTERIOR DESIGN | Craig & Company, Chicago, IL, US

Joan Craig is the principal of Craig & Company, an acclaimed architecture and design firm with studios in New York and Chicago. Founded in 2018, the practice evolved from Joan’s lifelong inquiry into the intersection of architecture, interiors and the decorative arts.

Guided by a love for the design process and a belief that “curiosity, exploration and literacy are how we develop memorable buildings and spaces,” Joan and her team create timeless, inspired, and comfortable spaces that reflect each unique client. Recent projects include the restoration of a Chicago landmark, the design of a private New York restaurant, interiors for a resort in the Dominican Republic, and a master plan for a three-generation family compound in New Hampshire.

After studying art and architectural history at Wesleyan University and working at Sotheby's in New York, Joan received her Master of Architecture from Princeton University. She began her architectural career at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Buttrick, White & Burtis before co-founding the architecture and design firm Lichten Craig. Joan now divides her time between Craig & Company’s New York and Chicago offices and travels extensively for projects and inspiration.

The firm has been recognized with Acanthus, Arete, and McKim, Mead & White awards from the 蜜桃传媒app and is frequently featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, The New York Times, and Luxe, which honored the firm with its National Award for Interior Design in 2018.

LANDSCAPE | Hoerr Schaudt, Chicago, IL, US

Hoerr Schaudt is a national landscape architecture firm co-founded in Chicago in 2008 by Douglas Hoerr and the late Peter Schaudt. The firm has a team of more than 80 staff, with offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, Kansas City, and Richmond.

Known for its horticentric design approach to residential, commercial, and civic projects, the firm is led by founder and senior partner Doug Hoerr, FASLA. Doug is a 2026 recipient of the Garden Club of America's Elvira Broome Doolan Medal, recognizing innovative work in landscape architecture with an emphasis on city planning and civic improvement. He leads the firm along with partners Carroll Conway, John Evans, Nick Fobes, and Simon Prunty. Through its award-winning private gardens and regenerative public parks, Hoerr Schaudt has shaped the field of landscape architecture.

After decades of practice, Doug Hoerr still finds that a perfect day is one spent in the field. Raised on a farm in Milford, IN, Hoerr’s instinct for working with the land was shaped early. He earned his degree in Landscape Architecture from Purdue University and then honed his design sensibility in England, where he immersed himself in centuries-old garden traditions. Hoerr’s groundbreaking design along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue became a defining example of how horticulture can bring wonder to the urban experience.

Hoerr Schaudt has earned more than two dozen major honors in the past five years, including the 2023 Palladio Award, 蜜桃传媒app Bulfinch awards, multiple ASLA awards, Interior Design’s Best of Year, and LUXE RED awards, among others. The firm’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, ELLE Décor, Garden & Gun, House Beautiful, Landscape Architecture Magazine, LUXE Interiors + Design, Mansion Global, Traditional Building, VERANDA, and Wallpaper*.

STEWARDSHIP | The Frick Collection, New York, NY, US

For ninety years, visitors from around the world have been deeply moved by the beauty and refinement of The Frick Collection. Founded by industrialist and collector Henry Clay Frick, the museum presents masterworks of European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century in Frick’s former Fifth Avenue home—one of New York City’s last great Gilded Age mansions. Its renowned collection has more than doubled in size since the institution opened to the public in 1935. The adjoining Frick Art Research Library, established in 1920 by Frick’s daughter, Helen Clay Frick, is a leading art history research center that serves students, scholars, and the public free of charge.

To ensure the continued quality of the Frick experience, from 2021–25 the institution undertook a comprehensive renovation and enhancement. The project was designed by Selldorf Architects, which is internationally recognized for renovations and additions that honor a building’s original character. Selldorf partnered with executive architect Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners, one of the country’s leading firms for historic preservation.

Carried out with care and sensitivity, the project aimed to better serve twenty-first-century audiences and made more of the 1914 Carrère and Hastings mansion accessible to the public, including former domestic spaces on the second floor. Critical infrastructural updates now allow the Frick to provide the highest standards of care and display for its collections, while the addition of new amenities and improved accessibility ensures an unparalleled experience for its visitors.
