I cannot look at modern buildings without thinking of historical ones.

Life involves other people and it is a compromise.

Architecture was pretty much the sexiest thing to be doing from 1700-1800.

The thing that I champion is sustainability. My terror is that suddenly we see it as a luxury, not an essential. That's a danger.

As a property developer, I learned a long time ago to choose your battles wisely and that, unfortunately, compromise is a given.

I don't enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows, small spaces, old furniture.
