The firm's work ranges from art and educational facilities and major corporate buildings to furniture systems and decorative art objects.[1] Critics view Gwathmey Siegel's work as the stylistic successors of the formal modernism of Swiss architect Le Corbusier.[2] The firm is especially well known for its residential architecture[3][4] having designed houses for such famous clients as Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Ronald Lauder.[2] The architecture critic, Paul Goldberger, writing in 2005, described their houses as "expertly crafted, staggeringly expensive, and not particularly avant-garde."[5]
