Back to the 2014 AD100 List

A longtime champion of classical architecture, New York–based David Easton rose to prominence four decades ago by crafting Georgian-style interiors for grand estates. His style has mellowed and become more modern since then, but he remains committed to creating intricately layered homes that possess a sense of history and timeless elegance and honor Vitruvius’ idea that architecture is the synthesis of “firmness, commodity, and delight.” Citing David Adler, Albert Hadley, and Edward Wormley as his aesthetic heroes, Easton believes that luxury and livability are synonymous. Whether a Manhattan loft or a country manor house, his projects are a testament to his unparalleled attention to detail and finesse with materials—qualities reflected in his collections for Lee Jofa, Visual Comfort, and other companies. davideastonincom
