The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.
What I do isn't radical. It's just distinct in small ways.
So much of what makes a room great is how you enter and circulate through it, how it addresses the body.
There's no architect who doesn't want to build a library - and I am no different. With so much scrutiny now attached to reading - because of technology and how we approach it as a social activity - that is a very exciting area in architecture.
I was brought up to reuse things.
I make spaces that are calm rather than confrontational. I seek a certain kind of logic that allows you to move in space and perceive it as beautiful and rational. Clarity is a worthwhile quality.
