“The
basis of my design philosophy - listen closely to what
the client is saying. I maintain a personal involvement
in all facets of a project, from site planning to interior
details. It is "hands on" from concept discussions
and sketch sessions with clients, to close observation
of the work through completion. I aim for design solutions
that are lively and vigorous, full of historical and
regional allusions, all in an engineered structure that
is friendly with its site and surroundings. My clients
provide the clues - usually a few key details or specifics,
but sometimes elaborately thought-out arrangements,
which we then develop into reality.”
