New York City-based architect Diana Kellogg got her start working for Richard Gluckman Architects, then spent several years with Annabelle Selldorf before starting her own firm in 1992. She works primarily in New York City, creating warm and eclectic living spaces out of former industrial lofts, deftly incorporating existing fixtures and architectural artifacts with modern elements. For her own house in Tribeca (a former cold-storage warehouse), “I wanted to preserve traces of how the building functioned,” Kellogg says. “Like the drill holes for the hoist. I want you to know that it was an industrial building while still having it feel like a home.” To see more of her work, go to Diana Kellogg Architects.
