MASTERS OF DESIGN<br />
BATTLE ARCHITECTS<br />
A: “My father was in the<br />
Foreign Service, and we<br />
traveled extensively throughout<br />
Europe and the Mediterranean,<br />
giving me exposure to many of<br />
the great architectural works<br />
of antiquity,” says John Battle,<br />
founding principal of Battle<br />
Architects. “It instilled a love<br />
that continues to influence<br />
Battle today. The spark of a<br />
remarkable design often starts<br />
with a germ of an idea in<br />
something the clients dream<br />
of, or a phenomenal site that<br />
gives clear direction as to what<br />
the proposed design should be.<br />
One of our clients categorized<br />
me as a “Humanist” for the<br />
continued focus on what it<br />
is like to live and work in the<br />
space. It’s exhilarating for us<br />
when a client has a willingness<br />
to explore options, because<br />
sometimes the least expected<br />
direction holds a little magic.”<br />
