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.
