After 9/11, Hayes Slade and her husband James (both pictured here) took stock of their lives and, like fellow New Yorker Jane Viau, they were moved to make some changes. After years of working in parallel, in a range of disciplines and industries, they resolved to go into business together.
In 2002, they co-founded Slade Architecture and, ten years later, their diverse portfolio includes the Barbie store in Shanghai, Virgin Atlantic’s upper class lounge at JFK, and this award-winning dog house. In the interview, Slade describes her life as “all work and all play, at the same time.”
