Luxury, when done well, is never loud. It does not announce itself with spectacle or novelty, nor does it rely on trend or provocation to justify its existence. True luxury is quieter than that, more deliberate, more exacting, and far more difficult to achieve. It is felt rather than seen, understood over time rather than at first glance. Few architects working today understand this distinction as deeply, or practice it as consistently, as Lucien Lagrange.
