This year we became Monnahan fans — first when we laid eyes on his kinetic architecture for a world-class art collector at the Mandarin, then even more so when we saw the home he designed for himself in Truro. With an engineer’s attention to detail and an architect’s obsession with visual perfection, Monnahan conjures spaces that are as beautiful as they are well scaled.
