Meet native Icelanders Erla Dögg and Tryggvi, Principal Architectural Designers of Santa Monica, California design firm Minarc. Minarc’s work is distinguished by an outside-in, inside-out ethos that is grounded in a deep appreciation of nature. These Infratech Visionaries are inspired by the ways in which milder climates encourage outdoor living, and strive to create homes that feel immersed in their surroundings.

Our second installment of Infratech Visionaries spotlights award-winning landscape designer, fine artist and Park Slope Design founder, Joan Grabel. As one of the featured landscape designers on the HGTV network, Grabel has appeared on popular series such as Professional Grade and Landscapers’ Challenge. With every project, Grabel collaborates with clients to develop landscapes that reflect their interests, lifestyles, tastes and goals while balancing considerations like geography, climate, the home’s architecture and client’s budget.

In the first installment of our Infratech Visionaries series, we explore the designs of Aaron Neubert Architects - creators of unique and award-winning spaces including OZU Restaurant in Atwater Village and the Museum of Compassion in Louisville, Kentucky.
