Two years ago I focused on one apartment to see how many variations you can come up with in a given space with the same parameters. I would work on this repeatedly for days and you see that there is maybe seven hundred options for one space. This exercise gives you an idea of the degree at which you can interpret the organization of space, it is not infinite but it's very large.

In terms of form, all the projects interest me equally, although there are obviously large differences according to the scale and process of each project.

I will always have two regrets. I don't have a presence in London, and I would have liked to have done more work in the Middle East.

I don't think people should do things because you know, 'I am turning this age, I must go have a husband.' If you find somebody and it works out then have kids, it's very nice. But if you don't, you don't.

I don't think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.

If I'm in london it can be different than if I'm somewhere else.

As a woman you're not accessible to every world.
