Splitting their time between New York Ci and Toronto, Ontario natives George Yabu and Glenn
Pushelberg have conquered the world. Hotels, retail, restaurants, residences and furniture are
all among their practice's vast array of projects. "Dedicated to delivering the unexpected"—as
announced on their website—Yabu and Pushelberg strive to evoke emotions from those who use
or view their work, and they are always looking for the perfect visual formula that contains a bit
of complexi, but in a simple way.
Of late, Yabu Pushelberg has been active in hospitali, completing a number of high-profile
projects. Last May, the firm revealed its first hotel in ailand's capital. Situated in the heart of
the business district, Park Hyatt Bangkok reflects a sense of calm in a slish environment where
a series of intimate spaces feature beautiful works of art. Every detail was chosen to honor the
country's rich culture and create an atmosphere reminiscent of a refined private residence. In
California's Napa Valley, Yabu Pushelberg designed newly opened luxury hotel Las Alcobas to
feel like home. Located in the charming small town of St. Helena, the proper, which is spread
over three acres, offers stunning views of the vineyards. Furnished with custom pieces, the
hotel's 68 rooms have clean lines and finishes, natural tones and organic materials, resulting
in a relaxing yet elegant feel. e firm's latest hospitali project is the recently inaugurated,
Moxy Times Square, which has the largest rooop in New York Ci (at 10,000 square feet) with
breathtaking skyline views. Its social spaces are ideal for either co-working or relaxing, while the
612 bedrooms—the smallest ones, in particular, which are 120 square feet—were inspired by the
idea of urban camping.
e creative spirit of Yabu Pushelberg continues to evolve and grow through the constant
experimentation with materials and collaborations with artisans and artists, resulting in spaces
that exude understated sophistication.
