WHAT INFORMS YOUR ARCHITECTURAL PHILOSOPHY AND AESTHETIC?

A unique response is required for every project based on location, the client brief, and existing natural or man-made elements in and around the site. While my general aesthetic is informed by contemporary design and functionality, and inspired by many great modernists, it’s a particular project’s unique characteristics that defines it and informs some of its intimate details.

IS THERE A COMMON ELEMENT OR APPROACH THAT RUNS THROUGH ALL YOUR WORK?

If I had to pick one it would be functionality and how that informs the design in terms of form and materiality.

WHAT APPEALED TO YOU ABOUT THE STUDIO SITE? WHAT DID THE ALTERATIONS ENTAIL?
