Sometimes I have to accept a job I don't really want. Hardly anybody comes up to you with a commission; it's all competitions these days.

It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?

Higher ceilings allow the use indirect lighting, which is much healthier and reduces glare.

We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.

For me, drawing generates thinking and vice versa.

I find if my body feels well and I exercise regularly, I think better, work better and feel better.

Most architects say: I want to use this type of glass, even if it's too reflective or doesn't let enough light in. However, the use of a certain type of glass might change the comfort level.
