DMTV Milkshake: Architect Aron Himmelfarb on Designing His Dream Building

Auver architect founder Aron Himmelfarb joins us for DMTV Milkshake to share more about designing his dream building.
Aron Himmelfarb, founder of the design studio Auver, makes the sort of spaces people dream of experiencing, from SoCal residences overlooking San Diego Bay to a brewery and tasting room on 30 acres of prime Hudson Valley countryside ? not to mention Nevele Resort, a new hotel and residential property stretching across the foothills of the Catskills.

The other thing I really like about Wright is this idea of total design, where you design not just the architecture but the interiors, the furnishings, the light fixtures, the fabrics, the hardware....
