Elizabeth Graziolo's architecture career blossomed at Cooper Union, where she found her passion. Under mentor Ann Kalla at Cicognani Kalla and nearly two decades at Peter Pennoyer Architects, Graziolo refined her skills before founding Yellow House Architects in 2020. As a leader, she promotes collaboration and values diverse perspectives in her Manhattan and Miami offices, focusing on reviving landmark properties. Her creative process is eclectic, drawing inspiration from sunsets and everyday observations, which she captures through photography and sketching, blending them into her design philosophy.
After my first semester everything clicked. I started seeing the world differently, from new perspectives, and I completely loved it.
As a firm owner and leader, Graziolo strives to foster collaboration and create a space where staff members can freely share diverse points of view.
I don't use one specific method; I mix it up. I take lots of photos, doodle in my sketchbook, and collect objects or images that I find inspirational.
This photograph, taken with my iPhone from my apartment, encapsulates the vibrant, dynamic hues of the setting sun.
