Charles Zana is one of those rare AD100 designers who does it all.
A storyteller first and architect second, he considers each project in its entirety, from the exquisite bones of a building down to the very last interior detail.

Today, his iconic designs grace the homes of Gwyneth Paltrow and every tastemaker of note, protagonists in the search for new ways of living.

This month, we sat down to record a Creative Encounter — a new interview series on our YouTube Channel in which we explore the stories and singularities of some of our most celebrated designers.
