For Charles, our inaugural architect, I had to concentrate on one of Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s myriad projects. And so I chose the High Line, a turn-of the- century structure lightened and repurposed for a modern stroll. In so doing, I took a parallel approach to an old turn-of-the-century cocktail, the Vieux Carré, and reinterpreted it accordingly.
