Harvard graduates Lap Chi Kwong and Alison Von Glinow worked for Herzog & de Meuron, Wang Shu and SOM before setting up their studio last year. Their work includes a concept for affordable residences in New York, the Table Top Apartments; a family home in Chicago; and research into flexible layouts for the classic American suburban house. ‘We always look for the missed opportunity of the space that we are starting with,’ say the duo.
