Face Time: Anthony Treu

Before joining SOM in 2006, Anthony Treu worked for a boutique design practice (which has since become MODU), lending his design skills on residential interiors, which translated to a lot of custom material considerations and precise detailing.

The experience taught him to appreciate how much thought could go into elements like cabinetry and the impact of small details on the bigger picture. “No matter how large or complex the problems we solve for, we always have opportunities to change how people experience spaces,” he says.

Today, Treu is applying those insights and skills on much larger-scale projects, including many international healthcare projects most recently serving as healthcare designer on the New National Cancer Institute (Giza, Egypt) and the Alma-Ata International Medical Center (Almaty, Kazakhstan).
